Indulge in Life in America

"Huh! It's hot." I don't know if it was because of the psychological effect of the proximity of the volcano. The moment I got off the plane, I was wrapped in a heat wave, which made Yang Cheng quite uncomfortable, who was used to the four distinct seasons of New York.

The climatic conditions of the Big Island are slightly different from that of Ouhu Island where Honolulu is located. The humidity of Ouhu Island is heavier, giving people a feeling of dampness and airtightness, especially in the so-called summer in Hawaii, which is the highest temperature. At that time, it was like being in a sauna cage.

The Big Island is relatively drier, of course it is only relatively speaking, and because the area is the largest island in the Hawaiian Islands, the island’s climate is more continental, but "heat" is still the theme of Hawaii, but compared to Europe The hot and humid Lake Island can be described as hot on the Big Island. Now it is the rainy season in Hawaii, but luckily today, the rain stopped.

When I arrived in Hawaii, it was naturally Situ Yanran’s home stadium. The little girl rushed out of the airport with a few older brothers excitedly. As early as on the plane, she called and asked employees on the big island to drive over to pick up the plane. Situ’s family has a large area on the big island. The vast plantation is planted with various specialty crops, such as macadamia nuts, coffee beans, orchids, sugar cane and so on.

By the way, the famous Hawaiian Kona coffee comes from Kona City on the west side of the Big Island, but the best place to grow this coffee bean is contracted by Little Japan, and Situ's house only has a small piece at the foot of the volcano. In coffee gardens, the coffee beans produced are not top-notch.

The Big Island does not have the problem of traffic jams, so the car quickly passed through the fork road full of towering trees on both sides and drove into a large sugarcane planting area, where the sugarcane forests were covered decades ago. People are separated cleanly, and it is basically impossible for outsiders to intervene in the contract. Even if one of them goes bankrupt and cannot sustain it, they will choose to sell to nearby manor owners for internal digestion.

But before that, the car was still passing through a garden. Situ Yanran ordered the driver to park the car, and took Yang Cheng and others to get out of the car to visit for a while. This garden named Lili Ukulani is the last monarch of Hawaii— Named after Queen Liliu Kurani, it was built to commemorate the first Japanese immigrants from Hawaii who worked hard in the sugarcane garden on the Big Island. The park is equipped with fish ponds, red arch bridges, rock gardens, pagodas, Japanese stone lanterns, etc. .

David Ellison's family admired Japanese culture, and he took a few photos and sent them to his crazy father.

We boarded the car and set off again, passing through the two volcanic national parks, passing the famous Black Sands of Punalu, and when it was about to reach the southern tip of the U.S. territory, the car suddenly turned and drove down a tributary of a small river. It didn’t take long. , Situ’s sugarcane garden appeared in front of you. Compared with the dense and prosperous sugarcane forests in other areas of the island, the garden in front of you looked much desolate, but the area was really large.

According to the driver of the car, from the road that just turned in, it stretches to the sea and is covered with sugar cane plantations. It really prospered more than 10 years ago. The sugar produced here has contributed a lot of profits to the Situ family, but For unknown reasons, the sugar cane forest withered almost overnight. The Situ family tried to save it many times, but in the end there was no improvement. On the contrary, after being ignored, the sugar cane forest has slowly recovered thanks to natural reproduction. Like the small patches of green that Yang Cheng sees today, they are actually the result of the self-growth of woodland over the years.

In the huge sugarcane garden, only the purple-skinned sugarcane forest used for food is left in front of you, and there are not many green-skinned sugarcanes that specialize in the production of sucrose.

However, with the decline in the trade volume of cane sugar in recent years, the Situ family no longer thought of restoring the glory of this sugarcane garden. If they didn't want to find something for Situ Yanran, I am afraid they would let this sugarcane garden grow by itself. Went out.

When the car came to the most luxuriant area of ​​the sugar cane plantation, Yang Cheng stopped the car and got off with a few people. The Chinese driver who drove took out the sickle from the trunk and picked a purple sugar cane randomly. Cut off the two pieces, cut them into several pieces, peeled them and handed them to the guests. Yang Cheng took a bite, and the sweet and refreshing juice instantly filled his mouth. After chewing a few times to squeeze the juice, the residue was spit on the ground casually. , Asked David Ellison, "What do you think?"

Before getting off the plane, Yang Cheng also told David Ellison the purpose of his trip, so he also knew that his mission was to help with ideas and find ways to start Situ Yanran's small business.

David Ellison was also chewing sugarcane and spitting out the residue while saying, "In fact, the environment here is good, facing the sea, and close to the black beach attractions. It is the best way to use this natural sugarcane forest to develop tourist hotels. , But in this way, the investment is relatively high, and the cost recovery time is too long, and the shortcomings are more obvious."

Yang Cheng agrees that the current sugar cane business really does not make money. Of course, if the entire Hawaiian sugar cane plantation can be monopolized, it would be another matter.

"When we turned into the sugar cane plantation, was the pasture on the opposite side? Whose family? Why did it look so deserted?" Yang Cheng asked the Chinese driver.

"Oh, the ranch you mentioned is owned by a small Japanese family. I heard that their elders have passed away, and their descendants have no intention of running the ranch. They have always wanted to take off their gloves, but no one wants to take over. The area is about the same as a sugarcane garden. , About 15 acres." The Chinese driver knew so much about this neighborhood, and the information came out.

Yang Cheng leaned on her hips, looking at the calm, blue Pacific Ocean. She didn’t know what she was thinking about. It was not until Situ Yanran pulled his sleeves that she came back to her senses and said to Situ Yanran, “The sugarcane garden cannot continue to operate. , I guess your little girl doesn't have the patience, or as David said, the pasture opposite was bought together and developed into a top resort.

Then we can introduce cooperation with Hilton hotels. Yuanshan is responsible for development, and Hilton is responsible for hotel management. You will invest in this sugarcane plantation and then become a director of the resort. How about? "

Situ Yanran was using his little head. Before he could answer, David Ellison interjected, "The natural scenery here is really good. There are no super high-end hotels and resorts on the Big Island. I think this business has a door. One share."

Xiao Lizi is also a talented person, so I am willing to miss this opportunity to make money, and he immediately said, "I'm the one."

Yang Cheng smiled. It's that simple for rich people to do business. "Based on the area of ​​30 acres, at least US$500 million is needed for development. Do you subscribe separately?"

Situ Yanran raised her hand first and shouted, "I went home and convinced my father to ask him to come forward and purchase the opposite ranch, and then add some cash, which counts as 100 million in total."

Yang Orange nodded, land and cash of 100 million U.S. dollars, which is nothing to the Situ family, "Then I will use the four-dimensional space to pay 100 million."

David Ellison is even more relaxed, "Then I will also be 100 million."

Only Xiao Lizi smiled bitterly there for a long time. His Hollywood superstar instantly became a poor man. Sure enough, people are more deadly than others. After thinking about it for a long time, he gritted his teeth and said, "I can only pay 50 million. This will give me some time to mobilize cash."

Yang Cheng didn't care, "Okay, that's three hundred and five million. When I ask Paris if there is any intention to let Hilton or her personally pay 100 million, and the remaining 50 million will be handed over to Yuanshan, are you okay? "

They are all their own. Besides, everyone knows that Yang Cheng will not intervene in the management. They are all waiting for dividends. At that time, Yuanshan will be responsible for the development and construction. It is normal for people to occupy more. So several people nodded and agreed. .

Yang Cheng finally made a final decision, "Then this matter is set, and the budget is exceeded in the future, everyone will follow the same proportions, follow the rules, go, find a place to have a drink, and wish us rich!

"Yes, yes, my girls are coming soon, too." Xiao Lizi echoed with a smile. He has taken a big advantage this time. Otherwise, no matter how good investment opportunities were in the past, no one else would take him to play.

"Then you go, Brother Orange, I have to go home and report to Dad as soon as possible." Situ Yanran deliberately played with Yang Cheng, but when he arrived at the door, how dare you not enter the house, the tutor of Situ's family was very strict.

Yang Cheng rubbed Situ Yanran's little head, and said softly, "Then I will give it to you?"

"No, Brother Orange, I know Hawaii better than you. I'll go directly to the airport in a moment and let my family send a helicopter to pick me up."

"Well, send me a message when you get home. If Uncle Situ has any questions, you can ask him to call me directly, you know?"

"Hmm~www.readwn.com~ I see."

After playing in Hawaii for 2 days, Yang Cheng and the three took a few third-rate models to visit the attractions of the entire Big Island, before returning to Los Angeles with great intentions. During the period, Yang Cheng also talked with Uncle Situ who flew over by helicopter. I didn’t say anything about the development of the resort. Even if it didn’t make money, as long as it was for the family’s jewel in the palm, the Situ family would not be stingy with the US$100 million.

Several people signed an agreement of intent, and then Yang Cheng would be responsible for contacting Hilton to discuss the specific development plan. Situ Yanran was also incorporated into the project team to coordinate local matters in Hawaii, such as running procedures.

In short, the plan can be implemented only after Yang Cheng and Hilton have negotiated. The entire development cycle of the resort is expected to take two years, and it will be open for business as early as the second half of 2016.

. . .

In the early morning of December 23, Yang Cheng returned to Jason Manor in Beverly Hills alone. David Ellison and the others had separated at the airport and went back to their own homes.

When the car drove into the manor, looking at the familiar flowers and plants, and the butler White who stood respectfully at the door waiting for Yang Cheng, I felt inexplicable peace of mind.

"Good morning, sir, welcome back to the manor." White and the servants of the manor lined up on the porch, helping Yang Cheng to open the car door, shouting in unison.

Yang Cheng was taken aback. The manor did not have such rules before. He looked at White inexplicably, only to see him expressionless, but with sly eyes, he said, "This is Mr. Surprise. It turns out that we can compare to the British group. Guys do better."

"Haha, I said why you didn't even call your name, but called my husband, and wondered why you have not seen each other for a long time, so you are jealous, White." Yang Cheng laughed loudly and patted White's. Joked his shoulders.
