In the eastern mountains of Paso Robles, Druk Manor...
The manor covers an area of nearly 5,000 acres, with rolling hills and towering heads...
The scenery is beautiful, but there is no river. The castle building covers an area of more than 3,000 square meters (unfinished) and has seven small European-style villas (staff houses).
The winery has a vineyard area of 110 acres, a total of 130 acres of walnut groves and other dry fruit groves, and 70 acres of orange and tangerine groves. The rest is dry sand dunes, woodland...
Undeveloped land is not valuable; what is valuable is the buildings and the local policy of opening up the land.
Duluk Manor also has an approval report for 70 deep wells, and the report agrees. As well as good transportation...
But the offer of 135 million was still too high. Under the guidance of the intermediary, Chen Mo negotiated several times with the heir of Old Duke, and the other party insisted on 135 million and would not let go.
135 million…
Paso Robles is also a famous wine-producing area. The average transaction price of local vineyards is about US$30,000 to 50,000 per acre, and this is a vineyard in its prime.
The area of Duluke Manor is indeed large, and there are luxurious villas, but it is not worth 135 million. If you buy it, you will lose money.
After returning from Duluke Manor, Chen Mo deliberately leaked the information about Duluke Manor through the Business Insider website, but the price was too high and the negotiation failed...
Next, Chen Molu successively received relevant materials and quotes from private farmers, ranchers, real estate agencies, land investment companies, etc. regarding rural areas, pastures, and plantations.
There is even a super ranch with an area of 470,000 acres, but it is in a remote location in New Mexico. The land area is large and there is water. From the satellite map, it can be seen as a desolate yellow...
I also received several text messages asking whether to buy a town...
The sale of small towns is not news. There are 7 small towns listed for sale on the California land transaction website, with areas ranging from dozens of acres to thousands of acres.
After you buy a town, you are theoretically the mayor. But you can’t do whatever you want on your land... Land in the United States is privately owned. In addition to paying real estate taxes every year, there is also an easement. An easement is a right to use the land.
standards, if you exceed the standards, you will be subject to huge fines...
"Chen Chen, I feel so uncomfortable." Chen Mo's eyes were sore as he flipped through the pages of information pushed to Chen Mo by the Business Insider website.
Chen Chen glanced at Chen Mo: "If you have to be so stubborn, no one can do anything to you. It's better to buy a ready-made ranch in the Central Valley according to Bright's wishes. The farms, combined together, will become a super ranch."
“A pasture without a great pastoral area has no soul.”
"The soul is too precious."
Chen Mo's cell phone suddenly rang: "Hi, what are you doing?" It was Bai Xiaoou's call.
"Looking at the land information. What's going on?"
"The entire California real estate industry knows that you are planning to buy a large ranch. If you have time, come out and introduce a friend to you."
"What friend?"
"My former classmate, he is now the regional manager of Garrison Investment Company. There are some pieces of land here, and I want to take you to see them."
"Tomorrow." Chen Mo looked at the time. He had to spend the night outside to go out now, and Chen Mo was too lazy to run.
"OK."
After hanging up the phone, Chen Mo stretched out: "Chen Chen, do you have any dreams?"
Chen Chen was startled and looked at his wife...
My eldest brother is getting more and more neurotic. I don’t know if it’s because he’s been single for too long.
"Dream... facing the sea and blooming spring flowers, does it count?"
"Get out of here." Chen Mo looked melancholy: "Should you buy a car?"
"I want to be too cute..." Chen Chen immediately smiled and looked at Chen Mo.
"What kind of pickup truck do you want...The Ford e350 is good, spacious and comfortable to sit in."
Chen Chen left Chen Mo with a look of disdain: "It's quite comfortable for you to sit up, but it's uncomfortable to drive..."
Chen Mo chuckled: "I won't buy it for you, I will buy it myself." Chen Mo said and looked at Zhang Xia: "Brother and sister, why don't you buy a car? My eldest brother will pay for it."
Zhang Xia quickly shook her head: "No, I usually don't like to go out."
Chen Chen kept winking at Zhang Xia...
"F150, haven't you been thinking about it for a long time?" Chen Chen is becoming more and more rude to Chen Mo now, just thinking about "getting benefits" from Chen Mo.
Zhang Xia pursed her lips and smiled, then nodded slightly.
Chen Mo stretched again, stood up and gently hit Chen Chen on the head: "Let's go buy a car."
"Hey...hehehehe..."
It's really inconvenient not to have a car.
Especially if I live in the North Bay Area, I have to drive if I want to go shopping.
Recently I have been driving a sports car out and my butt hurts, like buying an MPV...
Chen Chen and his wife don't have a car here, so traveling is very inconvenient.
Driving to the southern suburbs of Auckland, there are many car markets here, as well as large shopping malls such as the Volkswagen Center and the Ford Center.
"Brother, don't you want to buy a Bugatti?" Chen Chen was looking at the car trading website, which said that two new Bugatti chirons were delivered here...
"If you like it, you can buy it yourself when you make money later." Chen Mo has been driving a Lamborghini for long distances recently, and he often bumps into the ground. Things like sports cars are just toys, and they are useless except for showing off. It can't be said that, the feeling of driving a sports car is indeed
It's cool, but it's true that it's not very comfortable...
It is better to buy a practical car now. Later, when it is really stable and you are not short of money, you can buy some cars you like and keep them.
Going straight to the Ford Center, Chen Chen chose an F150 pickup truck, with all options costing more than $60,000.
The price of the e350 Beggar's Edition is more than 50,000 US dollars, but it offers various options and even private customization...
A large self-priming V8, so why not be environmentally friendly... I bought a ready-made luxury configuration, and the whole car cost nearly $150,000. It's comfortable to sit in a boss car, with soft seats, an entertainment system... and a small refrigerator.
Ready-made options, the sales center also gave away two bottles of champagne.
Early the next morning, Chen Chen drove Chen Mo to San Francisco to pick up Bai Xiaoou in his e350, and then headed south to San Jose...
"I saw the reviews of Garrison Investment Company online, which are a bit deceptive." Chen Mo asked on the way.
"This is a very strong company. Sometimes, there are some cheats." Bai Xiaoou and Chen Mo were sitting on the boss's chair together, smoking cigars and drinking champagne. Chen Chen in the driver's seat looked depressed.
"Brothers, give me a cigar too."
"Concentrate on driving, be careful not to get caught by the police." Chen Mo continued the previous topic: "Which piece of land are they selling to me?"
"I don't know where it is in the Delai Lake Valley. Go and have a look. If you don't like it, don't leave." Bai Xiaoou smiled and said, "By the way, Zhang Kun never called you."
Chen Mo nodded: "I did."
"He went back to his hometown to open a farmhouse. He called me before and asked me to borrow money..."
"He didn't speak to me." Chen Mo shrugged.
"I lent it to him..." Bai Xiaoou pinched his temples: "Brothers who have been together for many years will break up as soon as they say goodbye."
Chen Mo didn't want to mention him: "Is the restaurant business okay?"
"Fortunately. After you sold the ranch, the beef we purchased from Snow Mountain Ranch increased by 1 yuan per pound. Fortunately, Wellen's Restaurant has their distribution channel, but... the overall price is still expensive. Ordinary prime-grade beef, to
We have about 7.5 yuan in hand." Bai Xiaoou smiled and said: "In the new pasture, are you planning to raise ordinary beef cattle?"
"Bright is contacting Wagyu breeders."
“Purebred Wagyu?”
"How is it possible, ultra-black Wagyu." Wagyu is a breed of rb. It is almost impossible to introduce purebred Wagyu. You can only introduce ultra-black Wagyu (USA), Australian Wagyu (Australia) and other local Wagyu. Or domestic high-green black cattle.
Cattle, this is also a high-quality breed bred using rb and beef bloodlines...
