Chapter 209 Really Miserable 【Subscribe, Favorite, Recommend】

"Hi Pete."

"Brett... Huh, you're finally here, is Mr. Chen Mo willing to see me?"

Brett smiled wryly: "Boss, he has many things to do, and he doesn't want to meet strangers. Then, your reward."

"100 million!"

"I went to the winery with the boss last night. He didn't say anything, but he was quite satisfied with the winery... He is hard-spoken and soft-hearted. The 100 million is your labor fee."

If paid according to the contract, the labor fee that Pitt can get should be 130 million US dollars.But in fact, even for projects in the United States, as the employer, they will be picky and picky to keep the final cost down.

The cost of the winery is 650 million US dollars, including building materials, construction workers' expenses, brewing equipment, etc., but the cost of Peter, the designer, and the cost of his company are not included.This 100 million is his money...

The construction of the winery also invited a third-party company to participate. Counting the 100 million and the payment to the third-party company, the cost of the entire winery is close to 800 million US dollars.

Pete breathed a sigh of relief.

Pete's company is an independent construction company, and it is only responsible for design and engineering supervision.The other companies engaged in the construction process paid for this part of the project earlier... This project has been done for almost three months, but Pete's company has not received a penny.

"Thank you."

Bright smiled wryly: "If there is no problem, sign the delivery contract. I was severely taught by the boss just now."

"OK." Pete signed it, and returned the contract to Brett: "You are not short of money. I think the Chinese boss has a bad temper. Why do you want to stay and continue working?"

"I like my current job. Mo's temper is pretty good. If other bosses encounter similar things, it's probably..." Brett pursed his lips and laughed.

"Too."

If a project more than doubles its budget, anyone will be thrown into a rage.

……

'Boom...'

There was a knock on Chen Mo's office door: "Come in."

"Hello, is this Mr. Chen Mo?" A middle-aged man in formal attire opened the door and came in.

"Are you Mask?"

"Yes."

Max, the winemaker Brett hired, the director of the winery.

In the future, he will be in charge of the development of the brewery, ranch, etc. in the mountains.

Chen Mo looked at him, and he also looked at Chen Mo...

"Come and sit." Chen Mo got up and poured him a cup of coffee: "Have you visited the vineyard?"

"Looked over."

"When do you think the grapes are best picked?"

"The end of this month, or the beginning of next month. It can't be postponed anymore..." Mask took out his resume and handed it to Chen Mo.

Chen Mo looked quickly and found that Mask was the chief winemaker of Alod Winery. This is a little-known winery, but the wines produced have won gold and silver awards in several regional wine competitions.

In this part of California, there are not too many wine selections.

"You go to Brett and recruit the winery workers as soon as possible. By the way, has Kang Si told you about the brewing of wine?"

Cons?

Max was dumbfounded.

Chen Mo rubbed his chin, Max probably hasn't met Cons yet.

Kang Si is the technical director of the ranch and the director of the River Valley Ranch Research Center. He is mainly responsible for the production technology of the ranch and the quality supervision of the entire ranch: "The wine produced must meet some technical indicators, which are mainly wines used to raise cattle and sheep... ...Of course, people can also drink it. Sulfur dioxide/sulfite cannot be added to wine, and natural yeast should be used for yeast. Natural yeast will be delivered in a few days...Cons will tell you the specific technical indicators. He is our ranch technical director, you will see him later."

"Okay." Chen Mo said that the phone rang, took it out to see that it was Bai Xiaoou's call, and looked up at Max: "I don't have anything to do here, you can learn about our ranch first, busy Go about your own business."

"Ok."

When Max went out of the office, Chen Mo answered the phone: "Hey, what are you doing?"

"The Raventon you put in the car dealership has been quoted for 400 million yuan. Can you sell it?" Bai Xiaoou shouted.

"It's the end of the year. There should be various large-scale auctions. Is there any information about Reventon being auctioned?"

"No."

"No...then continue to list the price at 500 million, and don't sell it for a penny less."

"Okay. There is also a heifer beauty pageant. Are you there? Come and meet me."

Heifer beauty pageant - relatively awesome (forced).

"Brother, I'm very busy now, so why not talk to me on the phone?"

"At the Los Angeles Luxury Auto Show at the end of the month, the organizer invited us. I want to send the modified LM002 there. What do you think?"

"Row."

"Well, LM002, someone quoted $89 for the black one, is it for sale?"

The black one was bought by Chen Mo at the auction, and it was sold for 53.7 US dollars. After calculating the costs of shipping, insurance, etc., it cost Chen Mo almost 60 US dollars.

"Sell it. But you are responsible for getting me another LM002 back."

"No problem. I have contacted more than a dozen rare models, including two LM002s. They are all scrapped cars. I will send you one after it is repaired."

After hanging up the phone, Chen Mo locked all the documents on the desk into the safe, and drove straight to San Francisco in the BMW X8.

Bai Xiaoou was standing next to a Maverick under the company building. Chen Mo parked the car, sat in the co-pilot seat of Maverick, and looked at the depressed Bai Xiaoou: "What's wrong with you?"

"I... It's not because of things at home. I thought I was suffering from depression. I saw a psychiatrist this morning. Guess what he said?"

"These days, who doesn't have depression or anything, there's nothing to show off." Chen Mo cut a cigar for Bai Xiaoou, lit one himself, and saw that he didn't speak: "You won't really suffer from depression?"

"No. The doctor said I was really miserable."

"Damn!" Chen Ou was speechless for a moment.

Bai Xiaoou pouted: "How much did you earn last month?"

"Last month's income was relatively small, and there are still some payments that have not been sent. It should be more than 700 million."

"Damn! So much... Is your ranch so profitable? Doesn't that mean that the ranch can earn hundreds of millions of dollars in a year..."

"Just last month, the fresh milk from the ranch was labeled as organic. I paid several million for the publicity fee, so there was no profit last month."

"Last month's salary, car dealership share, and I also hired a few consultants, with a total income of 16. After deducting bank loan interest and personal expenses, there is not a penny left. I am a group chairman , tell me why it is so miserable."

Huafeng Group is a joint-stock company.Bai Xiaoou is the chairman, the president of the company, but he gets a dead salary in the company.The company doesn't pay dividends until the end of the year...or sell shares.

"You're so miserable, what's the matter with this Lamborghini?" Chen Mo said, then changed the topic: "It's almost the end of the year, is the company going to pay dividends in cash?"

"Cash dividends. I'm really short of money... You have to support the shareholders' meeting at the end of the year."

"Well, no problem." Chen Mo smiled.

Bai Xiaoou breathed a sigh of relief: "This is a second-hand car. It was crashed and bought back for more than 5 dollars. The car dealership is in short supply of funds. We have contacted more than a dozen scrapped cars of rare models...like Lm002 cars. Okay, the price of scrapped cars is very high, and one car costs close to 20 dollars." Lm002 is rarely sold in the US market, and most of them are in Europe...

"What does Luo Chen mean?"

"He can still get a loan..." Bai Xiaoou smiled embarrassingly: "There is no high output without high investment. In the future, we plan to snap up some rare and limited models... Like the Koenigsegg Argra RS1, which was released at the time The price is only 290 million US dollars, and it has risen to 1000 million US dollars in just a few years. Last month, a car was traded in New York, and the transaction price was 1102 million US dollars. We also try to snap up these orders, and if we can buy it, we will make money."

Chen Mo shrugged...

Not only Koenigsegg, like the McLaren track version of the Senna GTR, which is priced at 165 million US dollars, can still be bought now, and the price is usually more than 200 million. The normal version of 500 units has also been sold out long ago, most of which were ordered by dealers, and the value has also appreciated a lot.

Second-hand car dealers, unless they are on a very large scale, are not very profitable.Like the garage opened by Chen Mo and his three brothers, under normal circumstances, the monthly profit may not even be as good as the profit of reselling a rare and limited sports car...

For a car priced at US$1, a price increase of US$1000 and US$1 would be exaggerated.But if it's a million dollar car, an increase of [-] to [-] is not too much.

"It's up to me. I won't invest too much money in the car dealership, at most an additional 100 million. You said Argra RS1, and Koenigsegg also has depreciated models. High investment also has high risks. I don't care about these losses. I think I miss Luo Chen..."

　Double the monthly ticket, ask for a ticket.Although I don't know what the monthly pass is for...
