Just as I put down my phone, it rang again.

Luo Chen’s phone number is rare.

After coming to the United States, Chen Mo and Luo Chen's relationship gradually became distant.

"Hey, Lao Luo, what's the matter?" Chen Mo got up from the bed and smiled.

"He Jian, do you still remember?"

"Remember, my classmate, said he was going to South America on a business trip. Has he finished doing things in South America?" Chen Mo had a good memory, of course he remembered him.

A high school classmate met by chance on the first day of the Lunar New Year, and it has been several months in the blink of an eye...

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, He Jian talked about going on a business trip to South America after the New Year. Later, he came to the United States for a walk. He also asked Bai Xiaoou about the contact information, saying that old classmates came out to gather.

"People are in San Francisco and come out to gather."

"Where is Lao Bai?"

"I was having a meeting in Silicon Valley, but I called my phone but didn't answer it. Are you in the ranch?"

"Okay, I'll be back soon and I'll go over and pick up Lao Bai."

“Ok.”

Chen Mo went to the bathroom to take a shower, changed into a custom-made handmade suit, and drove out with a pickup truck.

I called Bai Xiaoou halfway, but after a few sounds, Bai Xiaoou answered: "I'm having a meeting, what's wrong?"

"It's nothing, He Jian has arrived in San Francisco. Luo Chen called and said he would go out to get together."

Bai Xiaoou and the others are discussing the matter of the Chef Academy and how to develop the land of Mount Atlas.

The land is very large, with a total area larger than the area of ​​the Napa Valley Luyue Grape Producing Area. To achieve the greatest value of its development, it has to be discussed in the long run...

Bai Xiaoou lowered his voice: "The meeting is almost an hour, you wait."

“In Garrison Investment Company?”

"Um."

"Okay, I'll go over and pick you up, by the way."

Listening to the songs along the way, thinking about what to plan next.

Bright looked at the River Valley Ranch, and the overall plan was almost done. Chen Mo didn't need to worry about the follow-up work anymore, and he couldn't get involved.

In the animal husbandry industry, not to mention Chen Mo is a rookie, but it is really good to understand.

Next, Chen Mo had two plans. One was to go to the Central Valley to run a small plantation, plant fruit trees, and cultivate fruit seedlings. The other was to go to the Napa Valley to run a small wine garden...

After waiting for more than ten minutes at Garrison Investment Company, I received Bai Xiaoou and went to San Francisco together.

"You got married on the 19th and are still so busy today." Chen Mo threw a cigarette over and said.

"No, the company's affairs are more important. If this project in Napa is completed, it can bring the company two or three hundred million yuan, and the long-term benefits will be greater." Bai Xiaoou rubbed his temples and waited for the Napa Valley project to be started, it would be easier.

"How much is your entry fund?" Chen Mo lit a cigarette and rubbed his nose.

"170 million." Bai Xiaoou also lit the smoke, looking tired: "Garrison Investment Company's appetite is too big. He took out more than 3,000 acres of land, which is larger than the area of ​​the Ava grape production area in Atlas Mountain. He also plans to apply for community construction from the Napa County Government, that is, to establish a town..."

Chen Mo touched his chin: "My ranch has been expanded again, and now it spans three county seats."

The River Valley Ranch originally spanned two county seats. After purchasing two more ranches, it now spans three county seats, Santa Clara County, Monterey County, and Pasolo County.

Speaking of setting up a small town... The area where the Dray Valley is located belongs to the town of Santa Beni in Pinos, Santa Clara County. The town mayor has looked for Bright many times and wants Bright to do something for the development of the town.

Bright ignored him.

The town of San Beni is different from other small towns in population gathering areas. This town has no population gathering areas and does not have tax rights.

Because Pinos is a small city, the city's population is only 1,000, and the tax rights are all in the city government.

The United States collects taxes and is divided into federal taxes, state taxes and local taxes.

Local taxes mostly refer to local taxes.

Local taxes are basically used in small towns, cities, municipal expenses, and hiring police.

The United States is composed of communities, and each community is different. Where the land tax revenue is high, public security is better and public facilities are better. This is the rich area.

In places with low local tax revenue, public security is poor because the police cannot be afforded.

"The land tax in Napa seems to be more than 2%?" Chen Mo said.

"Look at the area. The local tax in some places is only about one-two percent."

“How much is that piece of land from Garrison Investments worth?”

"For US$360 million, the land tax is 1.39%. What is the land tax on your ranch?"

"0.71%." Chen Mo smiled: "Remote places, local taxes are cheap."

"Well... the land of Garrison Investment Company is between most of the Atlas production areas and Luyue Districts. Neither of these two districts have large communities. If it is done well, it is really possible to set up a small town."

The land of Garrison Investment Company is worth $360 million, and the annual land tax is $5 million. In this way, if you really apply for a small town, there will be many benefits.

That place belongs to Union City.

Napa County, Napa City and Union City are two adjacent cities, and that area is under the jurisdiction of Union City.

There are three municipal systems adopted in the United States: mayor and council system, city manager system and committee system.

When a place's economy becomes stronger, local residents can break away from the jurisdiction of the original city through referendum and form a new city, town, city and town. There is a slight difference between the two, but the difference is not big.

City and towns can intercept some taxes to be used for the daily expenses of City and towns, including schools, police stations, hiring city managers, etc.

But these have nothing to do with Chen Mo. They are too high-end, so Chen Mo's current ability is unstoppable.

"I still have millions of spare money. Do you think it's better to invest in the vineyards in Napa or the orchards in the Central Valley." Chen Mo said.

"The vineyards in Napa Valley are good, and they are suitable for life, and the business atmosphere is also rich. The public security is one of the best in the United States. The central valley is too big, so you have to choose a place, it's troublesome."

Chen Mo shrugged: "You have many ways, please ask me if there are any high-quality vineyards for sale in Napa Valley."

"no problem."

The car drove back to San Francisco.

Luo Chen is the restaurant manager of this restaurant, located next to the Pan American Pyramid Street.

After five o'clock, the restaurant business was deserted. The two went upstairs and saw Luo Chen and He Jian sitting by the window drinking tea and chatting.

"Old classmate, do you still recognize me?" He Jian laughed, stood up and opened his hands...

Bai Xiaoou smiled and hugged him: "Our squad leader, dare not know him." Bai Xiaoou smiled and said: "When I was studying, I even asked someone to beat you. When I was a dog, I even ran to the head teacher to complain."

Speaking of those, He Jian was not embarrassed. He laughed and patted Bai Xiaoou on the shoulder: "It's better not to mention old things."

He Jian pulled Bai Xiaoou and sat together. Chen Mo sat next to Luo Chen, changed seats with Luo Chen, sat by the window, yawned, and wanted to smoke a cigarette to refresh himself and found that it was gone.

Bai Xiaoou cut a cigar and handed it to Chen Mo: "You look even more tired than me, really..."

"I haven't had a good sleep these days." Chen Mo lit a cigar and took a sip.

Bai Xiaoou was infected by Chen Mo's yawn and yawned. He cut a cigar for Luo Chen and He Jian. He also ordered one and looked at He Jian: "Lao Luo said you were in South America before and had a big project discussed?"

"That's, a project worth more than $100 million was easily taken down." He Jian lit the cigar, took a hard sip, and almost sprayed it on Chen Mo's face: "But it's still not as good as you. After all, in China, although the state-owned units are stable, they can get a RMB iron rice bowl and a dead salary. What you earn in the United States is US. By the way, didn't you invest in the past? Why did you open a restaurant?"

He Jian only knew that Bai Xiaoou and Chen Mo were both doing well. As for the specific situation, Luo Chen did not say it. During the Chinese New Year, Zhang Kun was unwilling to mention Chen Mo...

Just as I was chatting with Luo Chen, He Jian learned that Bai Xiaoou was the owner of this restaurant...that's all.
Chapter completed!
