When they went shopping, Chen Xiao bought a bag and a woolen coat, and then encouraged Zhang Xia to buy this and that...
Zhang Xia was still embarrassed to spend Chen Mo's money, so she let go after Chen Chen gave her a wink.
Women are really born shopaholics, like Chen Xiao. Her monthly salary is already 6,000 US dollars. Apart from ordering takeout at noon and adding some gas to the car, she doesn’t seem to have many other hard expenses, but she just likes shopping.
...I still buy something every time I go shopping.
Either buy it for her, buy it for Chen Mo, or buy something and send it to her hometown.
Chen Mo felt that many of the things she bought were dispensable...
For example, Chen Mo already has five scarves, various hats, and many cheap clothes and pants. Most of her monthly salary is spent on shopping, and she can save about a thousand dollars every month.
In the United States, her spending habits are actually quite good. Many people Chen Mo knows have good salaries, but the first thing they do after they get paid is to pay off their credit cards, and then there is not much left.
"Chen Chen, this gray scarf looks good. My eldest brother has one."
Chen Chen looked at the price, but it was more than forty dollars, so he quickly collected it.
"Sister-in-law, there is Ludan's flagship store in front, let's go and take a look..."
Chen Mo had a big head, so he grabbed Chen Xiao and gave her the secondary card: "Chen Chen and I went to Chinatown. You guys bought something and came to meet us."
"Go, bye."
Chen Mo and the others also had something to buy. They went to the Chinese supermarket in Chinatown and bought some bean paste, star anise, Daxiang, Sichuan pepper... They also bought a lot of hot pot base ingredients, potatoes, onions and other food that could be stored for a long time in bags.
Then I went to the seed market and bought some vegetable seeds, such as shallots, garlic, and coriander seeds. I also bought some seeds of tomatoes, cucumbers, and other vegetables.
…
Early the next morning, Chen Mo asked Brett to drive the old convertible, while he drove the pickup truck himself, and Chen Chen drove the Bentley Continental GT convertible...
The group headed straight to the Valley Ranch in Southern California.
The pasture is very large. Follow Highway 25 to San Benito. The valley 8 kilometers south belongs to the valley pasture. Then turn right at Highway 7 and there is a mountain valley plain...
The flat land of the pasture has been opened up, totaling 4,220 acres.
There are 26,900 acres of land located in mountainous areas. There are many small hills and valleys, and it is also relatively flat land. If they are all opened up, there should be hundreds more acres of flat land.
The Dry Lake Valley is the valley plain located on both sides of Highway 25. The land here is very flat.
Autumn has entered, the rainy season has begun, and it has rained here several times. Lush grass grows in the fields on both sides of the road, which is particularly pleasing to the eye.
Returning to the valley villa, Brett was immediately attracted by the surrounding scenery, especially this large modern-style villa, which was so lovely.
"We're home." Chen Mo first put down Dahua and Ah Li, and then let out the two dogs: "This is your new home, hurry up and get familiar with the surrounding environment." Chen Mo smiled and patted Dasha's butt, and the dogs immediately
He ran out and ran wild on the wide lawn in front of the yard.
"Boss, can I move in with you? This house is big and beautiful, and you two will definitely get lonely living there." Brett also let out his pet dog, a bull terrier that looks like Sun Honglei...
…
"It's okay to live temporarily. After you settle down, you and Chen Chen will move to another place. I'm a single man and like to be quiet." Chen Mo snapped his fingers and asked them to move things. Chen Mo moved the cat's house and the dog's house.
The large living room at home...
"Brother, I want to move somewhere else. The house is so big. Won't you feel lonely living alone?" Chen Chen licked his smiling face and picked up a bag of potatoes to catch up.
"Your brother, I am a single man now, so you have to give me some private space."
Chen Chen looked around after entering: "Okay, when you find me a sister-in-law, I will move to another place."
"When the third uncle comes, you and the third uncle will live in the farm house on the farm." The farm is the Drai Lake Valley. The Drai Lake Valley has five lakes of 2 acres and 7 acres. There are three farmhouses built there.
, they are all villas with several hundred square meters and a yard.
"The Farmer's House, those houses on the right hand side of the road?"
"Well, let's go take a look later. You and Chen Chen each choose one, and the remaining one will be used as the ranch office area."
Chen Mo settled the pets, took Chen Chen and Bright to visit the house, and each chose one.
While the two of them were cleaning up the house, Chen Mo also cleaned up the kitchen.
Capricorn men like a clean and tidy environment, and the same goes for the kitchen. The bright kitchen has a pair of large windows facing the reservoir, giving it a wide view.
Even cooking in such an environment is a pleasure.
Chen Mo heard from Jerry that the construction and decoration of this villa cost a total of more than ten million US dollars. There must be some moisture in it, but it is possible to spend seven to eight million US dollars.
Modern style villa, wide body design, white exterior walls, the building uses a large number of floor-to-ceiling windows... The villa covers an area of 681 square meters, and the indoor area is 951 square meters. The bedrooms on the second floor have independent balconies, and the master bedroom balcony also has a swimming pool...
…
Facilities around the villa include stables and a racecourse.
There are tennis courts and basketball courts, surrounded by green gardens and lawns.
From the backyard to the small reservoir, there is a wooden dock for dinghy boats.
Park small boats, kayaks, etc., and you can take a boat to the reservoir to fish...
The overall design is very harmonious, and the interior decoration is also very good. What's even more rare is that the wine cabinets in the villa's wine cellar are filled with various wines, including more than 50 bottles of champagne. The sparkling wine in the Champagne region of France is called champagne.
.
The wine cellar cabinets are full, and it is said that they are all wines over 55 US dollars. There are 499 bottles in total, with a total value of nearly 100,000 US dollars. Garrison Investment Company has also worked hard to achieve this.
The real price of high-end wine is not as high as in China. Just like in American supermarkets, it is very difficult to buy wine priced over 200 dollars. Many wines here have reached collection level...
Luxurious, yet very comfortable.
After Chen Chen and Bright packed up the bedroom and went downstairs, Chen Mo got in the pickup truck and took the two of them off-road through the hills and took a shortcut to the farm house...
The three main houses are not far from each other and are all furnished. The beds in the bedrooms are all ready, so you can just move in with your bags.
The three main houses meant that we originally planned to find three buyers, which meant dividing the river valley into three farms. The 2,470 acres of land in the river valley were also divided into three employee living areas, each with two to three people.
It is an exquisite wooden house with a living area of more than 70 to 100 square meters. The living area is equipped with a large iron-clad warehouse and a courtyard dam.
The warehouse was empty, there was nothing.
"Boss, don't you think there's something missing?" Brett said a little depressed.
"The irrigation channels in the barn and farmland have not been completed yet... This place was originally used to grow drought-resistant crops..." Chen Mo shrugged: "How can everything be perfect? The conditions here are actually very good. There are enough
With irrigation water, we can grow two crops a year, wheat and corn, or other cereals."
"Water source? Are you considering digging and building a reservoir?" Bright let out a long breath. He still thinks the Central Valley, which has abundant water sources, is better.
Of course, the environment and scenery here are better, no need to say.
Just from a business perspective, the Central Valley is better.
"The river valley ranch still has water rights for 19 wells. It should be possible to drill 11 wells in the river valley plains and valley plains. Mechanical wells can be drilled as deep as they can. In this way, there is basically no need to worry about pastoral irrigation."
