After dinner, Chen Mo was about to go back to Valley Manor. Bai Xiaoou stopped him and said, "Go out for a walk."
"Let's go."
Behind the college is an endless stretch of vineyards, which are carefully planned and look very beautiful.
"In the blink of an eye, we will be 34 years old soon." Bai Xiaoou put his hand on Chen Mo's shoulder: "We Chinese people say we will be thirty-four years old. Now... we should be considered to have achieved quite a lot. We are thirty-four years old.
, No confusion at forty, knowing destiny at fifty... Time is a thing..."
Chen Mo smiled: "What happened?"
"I feel a little emotional. Have you read the news? In the news a few days ago, on a bus in San Francisco, a fat white woman told a third-generation Japanese to go back to China... Hahaha..." Bai Xiaoou said and laughed.
People say that Chinese Americans have a high status in the United States. In fact, this is not the case...
Xenophobia, discrimination, and other problems exist no matter which country you are in. Of course, there are more people who are friendly to others.
In China, there are voices telling black people to go back to Africa... You must know that not all black people are from Africa.
It's like not all Asians are from China.
"Are you homesick?" Chen Mo asked.
"I want to, how could I not want to?"
"You're not immigrating to the United States, you American."
"Damn, I didn't quit my Chinese nationality." As long as I don't quit my Chinese nationality and don't take a US passport to the Chinese embassy or consulate for a visa, I can keep two nationalities at the same time, but it requires some skills. Bai Xiaoou is now
Dual nationality...
Chen Mo shrugged: "To be honest, when I stay in the United States, I often feel... I don't know how to put it."
In the past, when I had a small career and was busy with things, I didn’t feel it. But when people have free time, they often feel empty...
There is a saying in Chen Mo's hometown that a golden nest and a silver nest are not as good as one's own doghouse.
This metaphor is very inappropriate. But some things are just like that.
In the United States, no matter how beautiful the scenery is, how beautiful the house you live in, or how much money you have... there is no sense of belonging.
"The development of Huafeng Group in the United States, except for fast food restaurants, has almost encountered a bottleneck problem. At the end of this year, or next year... I plan to list Huafeng Group and raise a sum of money to continue to expand Huafeng Group
The scale. I miss home and want to go back and see. I am wandering outside, but my heart is not at ease after all. I am lonely in a foreign land... You have never thought of bringing the ranch to China."
I really never thought about it before.
Firstly, opening a large ranch in China is troublesome and requires a lot of investment.
Secondly, Chen Mo mainly produces high-quality meat, C-grade Bright beef, which costs 40 US dollars per pound, which is almost 300 yuan per pound when converted into RMB. The most expensive battle suit steak costs several yuan per pound.
One thousand yuan.
The United States has a complete grade certification system. What grade is reached and what price is marked are easy for consumers to accept, and it is easy to establish sales channels.
"I bought a villa in Hainan. Do you want to buy one too? When you have nothing to do, come and be my neighbor." Chen Mo changed the subject and said.
"Okay. Where did you buy it?"
"Sanya. There seems to be another place... Ai Li and Chen Xiao bought it in the past. I don't know the exact location. I'll check it out when I get back."
Bai Xiaoou laughed and said: "I saw a nice villa in the past and let me know."
"Um."
"I saw the online news a few days ago. It said that there was a protest on the Big Island of Hawaii. It seemed to be about some kind of land development. You weren't involved, were you?"
"Implicated...what kind of involvement." Chen Mo raised the corner of his mouth and smiled: "Due to the financial crisis, many people in Ou Shen City, Hawaii Island have lost their jobs. They want to develop a port..." Chen Mo said briefly, among which
It eliminates the need for him to be behind the scenes and add fuel to the flames.
It all starts with the privatization of South Point Park and Matcha Beach. Chen Mo spent 200 million US dollars to privately own the two parks. Now that the European and American government has money, it must not be willing to be lonely and want greater benefits. And
Essenberg, the mayor of Ocean City, is also an ambitious person... After a lot of tossing and protesting, Hilo made big concessions. And the mayor of Kona also helped behind the scenes... Kona District
The mayor also wanted to run for the county magistrate of Hawaii County. Chen Mo had promised to support his campaign, and while handling the finishing work of Lovely Ranch, he also introduced him to Big Garrison...
"Damn, awesome. How did you do it? You can actually influence the politics of one party..."
"The politics of the left and right are just fueling the flames behind the scenes. In fact, it is very simple. When you can throw away 200 million casually, then... the world you come into contact with will be different."
Throw away 200 million casually...
Bai Xiaoou was speechless.
Bai Xiaoou runs a catering company and knows a lot of people in the business world... Chen Mo mainly runs a ranch and has a lot of dealings with government officials. Chen Mo rarely shows up for these things, but his subordinates are running everything...
It’s really not about controlling the government, it’s not that mysterious. It’s just about mutual benefit and common development, creating a win-win situation.
In the United States, there are very few things that cannot be accomplished with money. If you give enough money, the local government can even sell the government building to you... What, not selling it? That means you definitely give too little money.
"How much did you earn?" Bai Xiaoou said with a smile.
Chen Mo stretched out his finger and made a '9' sign.
"That's it. That's the entire land of South Island..."
"Let me go, how big your heart is. You made 900 million by changing hands on a piece of land. You can't even rob a bank that fast..."
"Holy shit!" Bai Xiaoou was instantly depressed: "I thought 90 million." 900 million, I really don't dare to think about that number...
"Why is it so valuable?"
"I sold the development rights of a city." Chen Mo chuckled. It was so wise to ask Cohen to do things for him.
"I don't know what to say other than cowhide." Bai Xiaoou calculated Chen Mo's net worth in his mind. Conservative estimates suggest that Chen Mo's personal net worth may have exceeded 6 billion US dollars, and most of his assets are funds.
This is very naughty.
"Okay, I won't brag to you anymore. I have something to do tomorrow and I have to go back now."
"Yeah. I'm also going to go back to China during the Chinese New Year. Can your plane fly directly to China?"
“You can fly directly.”
"Then I'll also experience the private jet."
"Just give me a call from the plane. From now on, remember the captain's number and call him directly wherever you want to go." Chen Mo said.
Bai Xiaoou chuckled and said, "How much fuel does it cost to fly your plane for one hour? We can't take advantage of you in vain."
"On average, it's more than $2,000 an hour, including maintenance fees. If you don't want to take advantage, you can reimburse the aircraft maintenance fees."
"We want to do it too, but our current conditions don't allow it." Bai Xiaoou looked aggrieved: "I will fly by plane in the future, and it will cost four thousand dollars an hour."
"I'm just kidding you, if you use an airplane, just fill it with fuel."
"Thank you." Bai Xiaoou said: "All the money I made in the gold market was used to buy the stocks of Weilun Company and Babner Company. I have to hold them for at least one year, you know.
"If you hold it for one year, you will be exempt from capital gains tax..."
Chen Mo smiled and shook his head: "Just use the plane, why are you being polite to me? I'm going back, bye..."
