American Ranch

Chapter 308
In the early morning in San Jose, people start their busy day.

When you first come to a foreign country, you always feel a different style.After staying for a long time, you will get used to it.

At the Hilton Hotel, Ai Lilai was in Chen Mo's arms, unwilling to get up for a long time, looking at her phone from time to time, staring at the time...

"It's so annoying. If I knew I shouldn't have joined any research group..." Ellie lost her temper to herself, with a Wanwan accent that she didn't know where she learned, she was a sweet, waxy and cute girl.

"Almost up. You still have to go home and pack some clothes."

"But I still want to lie down for a while, we haven't been together for many days."

"Get up, embrace the positive energy..." Chen Mo smiled and lifted the quilt, found the clothes that were left on the cabinet yesterday and put them on.

Ellie took a shower in the bathroom, pouted, and went downstairs holding Chen Mo's arms.

Ellie still lives with Bella and Catherine, renting a big villa.

Over there, Bella and Catherine had goat's milk soaked oatmeal, nuts and the like, and were about to have breakfast.

"Ellie...Mo..." Catherine opened the door with a smile.

Bella also smiled all over her face: "Have you had breakfast yet?"

"No." Allie said.

Bella made two more breakfasts, one of which was super big, and gave it to Chen Mo with an ambiguous smile on his face: "It must have been a hard work last night, replenish your energy."

Ellie pursed her lips and smiled, scratching her head: "Eat more."

"Hahahaha..." Catherine laughed out loud with a wonderful expression on her face.

"Our little Ellie has really grown up."

Chen Mo was speechless and almost fell to the ground.

Three women in one drama, it really is true.After a hot breakfast, after Ellie packed her luggage and came out, Chen Mo drove her to Stanford University, followed by San Francisco...

There is some mist on the sea in San Francisco Bay in the morning.

There was very little fog in the city. After passing through several remote blocks, Chen Mo found that the number of homeless people on the street seemed to have increased a lot.

At Wells Fargo, Chen Mo went directly upstairs to Cohen's office.

"Mo, good morning."

"Good morning."

The two hugged, and Chen Mo talked about the business: "How much is your bank's quotation for the 4000-acre land at the southernmost tip of Hawaii Island?"

"5000 million US dollars, and if it's a cash transaction." Cohen shrugged and closed the office door.

"The US dollar is worth a lot now, 5000 million US dollars, and it has to be in cash... Is it too expensive." Chen Mo shook his head.

"5000 million US dollars is the reserve price. Before the financial crisis, someone quoted 6500 million US dollars."

"Before the financial crisis... the money at that time was comparable to the money now."

"What's the difference? They're all in US dollars." Cohen smiled knowingly and spread his hands.

"4500 million." Chen Mo said, "If it's sold, I can pay now."

"No... 5000 million, the lowest quotation given to me by the investment headquarters."

Whether it's the lowest price, Chen Mo doesn't know...

With a small population on the Big Island of Hawaii, land is cheap.

Land on Oahu is more expensive.Then there is Kauai... In the more famous land acquisition event, Zuckerberg bought part of a piece of land and a beach in Kauai. The total seems to be 750 acres and cost 1 million.But... that piece of land is allowed to develop real estate, allowing up to 80 houses to be built.

The land in Kauai should only be used as a reference...

For example, in Oahu, a nearly 900-acre farm was listed for sale not long ago, and the price was only 1590 million US dollars.

Land is only valuable if someone likes it... No one can tell the exact price.

"Well, if it is determined that the entire cape can be taken, 5000 million will be 5000 million."

Cohen shrugged: "To win the entire cape area, the 1.5 million US dollars you offered earlier is definitely not enough. At least 2 million or more... More than 2.5 million to be precise, or higher... Especially if you want a private sea area .To take ownership of the entire area without leaving any follow-up troubles, you need to prepare at least 3.5 million funds."

"Up to 3 million. And there must be a private sea area with economic rights to the sea area."

"We can only try our best..." Cohen shook his head and said.

"I hope to hear good news from you, before the end of the year..."

"no problem."

Chen Mo hired a business advisory group from the investment department of the bank, and the advisory group went to the Big Island of Hawaii for negotiations.Became a labor fee of 5.00%.No, you have to pay 30 US dollars as a reward...

These things really need professional people to come forward, and the cards must be big enough.This not only involves negotiations with private individuals and enterprises, but also negotiations with the local government... Wells Fargo Bank has a much higher chance of success than Chen Mo himself.

$3 million...

If I knew I should have enough funds...

Almost $4.3 million in the bank account.There is $3821 million in the account at Valley Ranch...

By the way, there is also an interest-bearing account with several million in it.

Chen Mo scratched his head, feeling a bit tighter, almost...should be able to use no loan.

After signing the contract with Cohen, Chen Mo checked the time and went out to Fisherman's Wharf.

There are far fewer tourists at Fisherman's Wharf.All San Francisco, as laid-back as ever.Arrive at San Francisco International Airport before three o'clock in the afternoon. The full-time driver of the ranch is already in the parking lot. Chen Mo takes him to the pick-up gate together and waits...

Chen Mo originally thought that he liked freedom and being unrestrained.

But when a person is in the United States, he will miss his family after all.Only when the family is not around can I feel the goodness of the family, just like losing love and wanting to cherish it... Hehe...

Waiting for ten minutes at the pick-up port...

"Dad, Mom." Chen Mo shouted.

"Oh, haha..." Father Chen took the luggage and walked over with a smile, "Why are you here alone?"

Iverson is the driver that Moxi specially hired, and he can understand Chinese. At this moment, he looked resentful: I, am I not a mother?
Mother Chen's face was also not good-looking: "Why didn't Ellie come, did you?"

"What, my Ellie is very good. She can't come because she has something to do..." Seeing that his mother didn't believe it, Chen Mo was speechless: "Really, Ellie is going to attend an academic meeting and will come back in a few days."

"Isn't she a student? What kind of academic meeting is she attending..."

"You don't understand this. When she comes back, you can ask her yourself." Chen Mo felt dizzy.

Chen Chen came over with his father-in-law and mother-in-law, and said with a smile: "Mom, save face for my brother, he is a big boss after all, and he taught you a lesson like a son."

"He was my son." Mother Chen smiled, pulled Chen Mo and said, "That girl Ellie is nice, don't be half-hearted."

"Know, know."

"Well, hurry up and meet your Uncle Zhang and Uncle Zhou."

Uncle Zhang is Zhang Xia's father.Zhang Xia's parents are here...

"Uncle, aunt..." Chen Mo went over and shouted, seeing the child in Zhang Xia's mother's arms: "This... should be my little nephew."

Zhang Xia's parents smiled and nodded.

There are also Chen Xiao's parents-in-law beside him, and Chen Mo also calls him 'uncle' and 'aunt'.

Zhou Ziyu's mother looked at Chen Mo with a strange expression, and glanced at him from time to time, feeling very weird...

Chen Mo's ex-ex-ex-girlfriend Hu Mei...Hu Mei is Zhou Ziyu's cousin. Many years ago, Chen Mo had dinner with Zhou Ziyu's parents...I didn't remember much at that time.
