American Ranch

Chapter 142 There is fire in the eyes 【Subscription】

Chen Mo glanced at Bai Xiaoou...

This guy sold 100 million shares, didn't he just earn more than 300 million in cash, and he ran out of money so soon?

Bai Xiaoou looked excited, with one hand in his mouth, and the other holding the phone to communicate with the dealer in Los Angeles...

Back at the ranch, after one o'clock in the afternoon, Brett was eating at Chen Mo's house.

The third uncle cooks good dishes. Seeing Chen Mo and the others, he came out and asked, "Have you eaten yet?"

"I've eaten." On the way back, the two ate hamburgers and Coke, and left the car outside. Chen Mo took out his phone and called Brett...

"Hey, what do you want from me?" Brett came out with his rice bowl.

"Let's go to Los Angeles to buy a car and find someone who knows the way and has good driving skills."

"OK." Brett made a phone call, and came over to eat a few bites: "Are you buying a sports car?"

"Well, this guy ordered a V8 Porsche and picked it up. Come back tomorrow..."

"I'll go too." Bright smiled and said, "I'm hesitating about buying a sports car. Is there anything worth recommending?"

"McLaren Senna, P1, all good."

"NO, Senna is easy and natural, hahaha... McLaren P1, can you still buy a new car?"

Bai Xiaoou shrugged: "Yes, it seems to be possible, a new car in the hands of a collector."

P1 and 918, there are really no new cars, after all, they were discontinued several years ago.

These two cars, the existing car purchase channels, one is face-to-face transaction with the owner, and the other is to buy from a supercar dealer.Most of the cars at dealers are not first-hand, but are consigned by car owners, consigned by collectors, or stocked by dealers.

Collectors and dealers stock cars that have run hundreds or even thousands of miles, but the owner has not been registered. It is considered a first-hand car or a new car.

"P1 is too expensive." Bright shook his head.

Brett likes sports cars, but he is different from Chen Mo and Bai Xiaoou.Bright is someone who knows how to play sports cars and racing cars. At least he can play drifting. He has driven F1 cars... and he is also an amateur. Many racing venues for F1 cars can be rented to play.

There's a big track right there in Monterey.

After waiting for a while, a middle-aged man in his forties drove over with a pickup.

Brett had a few words with him, and Chen Mo handed him the car keys of the Ford E350.

In addition to being Chen Mo's private car, the Ford E350 is also used as a car for Brett, Chen Chen, and Kang Si to travel. He has been driving the car before.

Sitting on the boss chair at the back, Chen Mo put down the seat, lay down, and took out his mobile phone to scan Douyin: "Why did you suddenly think of buying a 918? I didn't say it before. This is not your style."

"It's boring to talk about it. I ordered this car twenty days in advance."

Twenty days in advance, that is, after Garrison Investment Company bought their shares, Bai Xiaoou just got more than 300 million in hand.

Brett held his mobile phone and looked at the pictures of his favorite cars: "Boss, what do you think if I buy a Bentley Continental GT3-R? Does the convertible version match our ranch?"

"Handsome, not bad." Chen Mo said, yawned, got up and opened the small freezer, took out a bottle of champagne.

Along the way, we talked about topics related to cars, ranches and restaurants.

Brett squinted his eyes and glanced at Bai Xiaoou's side face from time to time: "Boss, you just left yesterday, and a respected person came to the ranch."

"Who?"

"The head chef of the French dry cleaner, Mr. Thomas Kohler."

Bai Xiaoou turned his head and looked over: "He took the initiative to contact you?"

"Well, he came over in person..."

Anyone who works as a restaurant has a good understanding of local California restaurants, especially the high-end restaurants in the San Francisco Bay Area.

A French dry cleaner is not a place to do laundry, but a Michelin three-star restaurant.

When it comes to Michelin three stars, you have to mention this French restaurant, which has become synonymous with Michelin.This Michelin three-star old restaurant that exists like a god has the domineering reputation of "the best French restaurant in the world is not in France, but in San Francisco's Napa Valley".

The French Dry Cleaner, also known as the French Laundry, is one of the top restaurants in Napa Valley. The per capita consumption is $400+. Orders must be made at least a week or even a few weeks in advance, which is even more expensive than Dodgson’s.

"Is he interested in Brett's tomahawk steak?" Chen Mo asked.

"Yes. Except for tomahawk steak, veal steak, sirloin, filet, etc., as long as they reach the B3 grade, they are all interested. Especially the tomahawk steak, but their quotation... $280 per pound. Ellison The logistics quote is $300 a pound.”

Bai Xiaoou looked at Chen Mo and said, "You should expand your sales channels now, and you can sell them at US$280 per pound. Don't hang yourself on the tree of Ellison Logistics."

"You..." Chen Mo laughed: "Aren't you collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country?"

"Fuck off." Bai Xiaoou let out a long breath: "Garrison Investment Company's ambitions are too great. At the beginning, I was considered to have lured a wolf into the house, and I made a misjudgment in decision-making. Actually, Garrison Investment Company should not have been introduced... ...We are buddies, we are brothers, but I let you pay for my decision-making problems..."

Years ago, the financing was too hasty, eager for quick success, and did not investigate the background of Garrison Investment Company. They only thought that he was a professional real estate investment company.It was only after the financing was signed that they realized that they still had Barbona Company... and then they were led by the nose step by step.

"Don't talk about it. It's not just a controlling stake in a company. If you don't have it, you won't."

The two said it easily, but that was the company they created together.

Knowing that Bai Xiaoou was going to give up the controlling stake, Chen Mo felt very uncomfortable.Not only himself, but Bai Xiaoou felt even more uncomfortable...

Bai Xiaoou is an extremely proud person, giving up the controlling stake is definitely not as simple as it seems on the surface.

I remember that before the financing, Bai Xiaoou begged Chen Mo to hold the company.But how long before... giving up holding company just for one Napa Valley project?
"Okay, let's not talk about it." Bai Xiaoou clenched his fists, but there was light in his eyes. Anyone who knew him well knew that he was about to fight.And the target of the fight must not be Chen Mo...then the one they are facing can only be a huge monster.

Among the three people in the car, Chen Mo knew the least about business.Bright is also a very smart person. That day when Bai Xiaoou came to talk about giving up the holding company, Bright immediately realized that there was a problem and directly sold the 155 million shares in hand.Otherwise, look at the financial report released by Tangxia Yipin at the end of the year. It is definitely better to hold stocks to obtain long-term benefits...

"I didn't blame you for that matter. I didn't invest much money. I sold some of the stocks, and almost all the money I invested was returned..." Seeing Bai Xiaoou's eyes, Chen Mo's sword eyebrows trembled slightly .

"Well... your ranch has invested too much. You really can't hang yourself on a tree, at least not now... the current output of the ranch is still small, and it's all high-priced meat, especially the Brett cattle. You should develop yourself The channel. It’s cheaper to sell now, as long as the market has a good reputation, the price can be raised in the future..."

"I know. Even if I am stupid, Brett is not stupid. Right?" Chen Mo has already smelled some signs.

Bright nodded: "Of course. I'm already building my own sales department and expanding sales channels."

"That's good..."

There was something wrong with Bai Xiaoou.

Since the company was controlled, Bai Xiaoou has been sullen, and today he suddenly became excited...

"Old Bai, don't do stupid things."

"What stupid thing?" Bai Xiaoou spread his arms and said with a smile.

"Eggs and rocks cannot meet head-on."

"Don't worry, how could I do something stupid, even if I don't care about myself, I have to be responsible to you, right..."

"Depend on!"

　I submitted the application for listing on Thursday, but I didn’t expect it to be on the shelves today. I didn’t know the specific launch time in advance, so I was in a hurry.

　　……

　　I think people should have friends.

　　There are already some readers who don't like the character of Bai Xiaoou, saying it's a bit disgusting, so take a look at the back...

　　Creating this character from the very beginning should have defined his character, not someone who just takes advantage of his friends.
