American Ranch

Chapter 98 People are stupid and have more money
It was late at night, and Chen Mo left Zhang Cheng and his son to stay at home for one night.

Afterwards, they will live in the ranch for a while, and teach Chen Mo and them some precautions for planting vines...

The guest room is on the second floor, with floor-to-ceiling windows on the front and a large balcony outside.Looking at the reservoir and the green mountains, these mountains are also very interesting. There are a few bare oak trees, and the lush grass on the flat hills, as if they have been carefully groomed... Such scenery cannot be seen in China.

Last night, I felt that the villa was very large and the interior decoration was luxurious.

Get up early in the morning and go out to the guest room, and see the oil paintings in the corridor...the cypress hollowed-out spiral staircase, the spacious and bright living room...

How luxurious is this, simply luxurious, full of force...

Chen Mo was making breakfast, and Mrs. Bright delivered toast yesterday.Chen Mo fried a few pieces of steak, sandwiched some lettuce, tomato, etc. to make burgers.

"Mr. Chen cooks by himself?" Zhang Cheng looked at Chen Mo busy in the kitchen in a strange way.

"Occasionally... I like to do it myself." Chen Mo and Zhang Cheng are not familiar with each other, so without saying much, he broke the bread and took out the hot milk: "Taste my handicraft."

"Thank you, Mr. Chen."

The shy Zhang Rui also came to help and brought out the breakfast.

Chen Mo made a gesture of invitation, took a bite of the hamburger himself, and the taste was okay: "The seedlings sent this time are good, at least two forks, and there are quite a few three forks. We can continue to discuss cooperation later, but the price On the other hand, I want to be cheaper."

"The price given before was already the lowest price, and it can't be any cheaper." Zhang Cheng looked at Chen Mo and paid attention to Chen Mo's expression.

The profit margin of saplings is much larger than imagined.

Even if it is shipped from China... by sea, the shipping fee is really not expensive after you figure out the way.

This batch of seedlings worth 24 US dollars are all two-forked and three-forked, that is, three and three main branches, with a height of 1.2-1.5 meters.

Each sapling costs about $110, and there are 2200 of them.After deducting 15.00% customs duties, shipping charges...

A sapling is 85 US dollars, which is almost 570 yuan in RMB.

For export business, there are preferential domestic taxes, or if you use an offshore company to sell, you will pay less tax in China.Just this part of the US tariffs...

The fruit seedlings cultivated in the shed are actually five or six years old, and the height of the seedlings has reached the standard.There are quite a few nurseries for cultivating vines in China, and even more are on the hands.

Regardless of the high price of grape trees, if you want to have a certain yield, you need to be more than ten years old. The older the tree, the more productive it will be.And even if the yield is high, its yield is not high...a 20-year-old tree can produce [-] catties in the southern climate, which is considered high yield.And the real price of ten-year-old trees is not as expensive as what you see online... The tree species with high prices online are all modeling trees and bonsai.

2200 seeds look like a lot, concentrated cultivation, only three or four acres.

The southern nursery base cultivates more than [-] acres of vines, and the trees are more than five or six years old, fewer are seven or eight years old, and even fewer are more than ten years old.That's why it can be sold at a high price because it is rare... But if you want to bloom and bear fruit in the same year, regardless of whether it is grafted or not, you have to be more than ten years old to be reliable.

The cultivated vine grapes can bear fruit for at least five years, and the fruiting volume can reach a certain level after more than ten years, and the yield is not high.

"I imported thousands of fruit-bearing seedlings from South America. I just planted them, and there are still fruits hanging on them. I will show you around later..." Chen Mo smiled.

He will not deliberately lower the price, at least if it is an honest price.

It seems that domestic seedlings are good, but the price is too expensive.If the price is right, Chen Mo plans to bring in all the saplings, and he can just plant the seeds and build a few sheds for show.

After eating, Chen Mo opened the garage and drove a pickup truck out...turned around a big bend, drove across a flowing stream, and entered a small valley.

The scenery along the way is good.

The mountains here are not particularly steep. You can basically climb to the top of the mountain with a four-wheel drive...

When you reach the valley, your vision suddenly becomes clear. There is an endless grape orchard, and the two large warehouses are particularly eye-catching...

Chen Mo parked the car in front of the old garden. Here are all tree species that are more than ten years old. Depending on the height, they have reached the level of 15 or even 20 years.

There was a heavy rain after Christmas, and now, the vine seems to have recovered a lot.

The faint smell of flowers in the garden, the dense fruits on the trees...

"How long has this grape been transplanted?" Zhang Cheng was envious and envious. This was much better than the grapes in his orchard.Rich people can really do whatever they want... These saplings seem to be quite old, and the branches are fine.How much does it cost to produce such a large area of ​​adult high-quality tree species.

"Less than a month."

Less than January?
Zhang Cheng was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "Grapes are easy to grow and easy to raise..."

Chen Mo frowned slightly, and glanced at him with deep eyes.

Zhang Cheng's face twitched slightly, this...

Chen Mo's phone rang suddenly, he looked at the call from Bai Xiaoou, looked at Zhang Cheng and shook his head, walked to the side and answered: "I'm a busy person, call me early in the morning, why?"

"In the ranch?"

"exist."

"I'll come over to play later, good wine and meat are prepared for me."

"Your mother and the others have returned to China?" Chen Mo laughed.

"Going back. Chen Xiao said that you brought another batch of grapes, I'll take a look at them later, and go back and plant a few fruit-bearing ones."

"Okay. Let's call Chen Xiao and the others over on Saturday today. I'll let Chen Chen cook two lambs and have a roasted whole lamb for lunch."

"Do you want me to bring a chef over?"

"Okay. Get the sauces and ingredients together, I don't have them here."

"OK."

Hanging up the phone with Chen Mo, Chen Mo walked over: "Planting vines is a temporary interest of mine, but once it is planted, I also hope to have a few good harvests every year."

Zhang Cheng was a little speechless, this Lord?

The father and son came to San Francisco a few days ago and called Chen Mo, but he was nowhere to be found... They also found this place from the contact address, and stayed at the holiday farm in the town for two days, and found out some information about the River Valley Ranch.

The town of San Beni is not big, and there are only a few families in the populated area.The holiday farm in the small town can be regarded as a gathering place, and the farmer has only heard about Chen Mo, but has never seen it.But about the River Valley Ranch, the people on the holiday farm know a lot...

A ranch with tens of thousands of acres was sold at a price of 2.5 million U.S. dollars. The other thing is that this is a ranch that raises wagyu cattle...

Wagyu is not only a breed of cattle, but also requires special feeding methods.

Zhang Cheng and his son knew that Chen Mo was a rich man, and the tractors in the ranch were all Lamborghinis... Seeing this tree and vineyard again, they were not very surprised, but felt that Chen Mo was a man with no humanity...

From the previous point of view, Chen Mo is a man with money, but he is stupid and easy to fool with money...

This grape tree may really have been a whim.

Before that, there were still more than 100 million orders discussed on the Internet. After investigating some information about Hegu Ranch, Zhang Cheng can say that he is full of confidence...

Now, Zhang Cheng was a little uncertain.

Chen Mo felt a little cold, and the look in his eyes just now made people's hearts tremble.There is also the phrase 'It can be planted, and I hope to have a few good harvests every year', he probably knows nothing about vines.
