Chapter 206: Really Miserable
"Hi, Pete."
"Bright... Huh, you're finally here. Is Mr. Chen Mo willing to see me?"
Bright smiled bitterly: "The boss is busy with a lot of things and is unwilling to meet strangers. Then, your reward."
"One million!"
"I accompanied my boss to the brewery last night. He didn't say anything, but he was quite satisfied with the brewery... He was a tough guy and soft-hearted person. This 1 million is your labor fee."
If paid according to the contract, Pitt would receive a labor fee of $1.3 million. But in fact, even in the United States, the employer will pick on it and lower the final cost.
The brewery cost $6.5 million, including construction materials, construction workers' expenses, brewing equipment, etc., but the cost of Pitt and his company's expenses were not calculated. This 1 million is his money...
The brewery also invited third-party companies to participate in the construction. Including the 1 million yuan and the fees paid to the third-party companies, the entire brewery spent nearly $8 million.
Pete felt relieved.
Pitt's company is an independent construction company, so it is only responsible for design and engineering supervision. Other companies invited to the construction process have paid for this part of the project... This project has been working for almost three months, but Pitt's company has no income.
"Thank you."
Bright smiled bitterly: "If it's okay, sign the delivery contract. I was taught a lesson by the boss just now."
"Ok." Pete signed the letter and gave Bright the contract to him: "You are not short of money either. I think the Chinese boss has a bad temper, so why should he stay and continue to work?"
"I like my current job. Mo's temper is pretty good. If other bosses encounter similar things, they probably would..." Bright pursed his lips and laughed.
"Too."
If a project is more than twice as expensive, anyone will be furious.
...
‘Bang bang…’
There was a knock on Chen Mo's office door: "Come in."
"Hello, is it Mr. Chen Mo?" A middle-aged man in formal clothes pushed the door open and came in.
"Are you Meske?"
"Yes."
Max, the winemaker found by Bright, and the director of the winery.
In the future, I will be responsible for the mountain development of winemaking factories, ranches, etc.
Chen Mo looked at him, and he also looked at Chen Mo...
"Come here and sit down." Chen Mo got up and poured him a cup of coffee: "Have you seen the vineyard?"
“Looked over.”
“When do you think it’s best to pick grapes?”
"The end of this month, or the beginning of next month, can't be postponed any more..." Mask took out his resume and handed it to Chen Mo.
Chen Mo quickly looked at it. Maxke turned out to be the chief winemaker of Alord Winery. This is a winery that is not well-known, but the wines they make have won gold and silver awards at the regional wine selection several times.
There are not too many wine selections in this place in California.
"You go find Bright and recruit the winery workers as soon as possible. By the way, did Cons tell you about wine making?"
Cons?
Max looked confused.
Chen Mo touched his chin, and Max probably hadn't seen Cons before.
Cons 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. Sulphur dioxide/sulfite cannot be added to the wine, and natural yeast should be used. Natural yeast will be delivered in a few days... For specific technical indicators, Cons will tell you. He is the technical director of our ranch, and you will meet him later."
"Okay." Chen Mo said, his phone rang, took it out and saw that it was Bai Xiaoou's call, and looked up at Max: "I have nothing to do here. You can learn about our ranch first and go to work on your own."
"OK."
Max went out of the office, and Chen Mo answered the phone: "Hey, what are you doing?"
"You are in Revington, a car dealer, and someone has offered 4 million yuan. Will 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 Revington being auctioned?"
"without."
"No... then continue to price 5 million and don't sell it for a penny."
"Okay. There is also a heifer beauty pageant. Where are you? Come and meet."
Heifer beauty pageant is more awesome (porn).
"Brother, I'm very busy now, I'm talking about something on the phone."
"At the end of the month, the organizer invited us. I want to send the modified lm002 to the market. What do you think?"
"OK."
"Well, lm002, someone has offered a black one for $890,000, will it be sold?"
The black one, which Chen Mo bought at the auction, was sold for US$537,000. The fees incurred in calculating freight, insurance premiums, etc. cost Chen Mo almost spent US$600,000.
"Sell it. But you have to be responsible for getting me another lm002."
"No problem. I have contacted more than a dozen rare models, including two of them lm002, which are scrapped cars. I will give you one after I send it back and repair it."
After hanging up the phone, Chen Mo locked all the documents on the table into the safe, drove the BMW X8 straight to San Francisco.
Bai Xiaoou was standing next to a Maverick under the company building. Chen Mo parked the car and sat in the Maverick's passenger seat. He looked at Bai Xiaoou, who was full of depression: "What's wrong with you?"
"I...isn't the thing at home. I thought I was depressed, so I saw a psychiatrist this morning. Guess what he said?"
"Now, who has no depression or anything else to show off?" Chen Mo cut a cigar for Bai Xiaoou, lit one by himself, and saw that he didn't say anything: "You won't really get 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?"
"The income last month was relatively small, and some of the funds were not transferred, so there should be more than 7 million."
"Damn! So much... Is your ranch so profitable? That's not to say that in a year, the ranch can earn hundreds of millions of dollars..."
"Just last month, the fresh milk in the ranch was labeled with organic labels. I paid millions of promotion and distribution fees, and there was no profit last month."
"I paid my salary last month and shared the sales of the car shop. I also took on several consultants, with a total income of 160,000 yuan. After deducting bank loan interest and personal expenses, I don't have a penny left. I'm a group chairman one by one, tell me why it's so miserable."
Huafeng Group is a joint-stock company. Bai Xiaoou is the chairman and the president of the company, but he gets a dead salary in the company. The company will not pay dividends until the end of the year... or it will be sold.
"You are so miserable, what's going on with this Lamborghini?" Chen Mo said, and the topic changed: "It's the end of the year soon. Will the company pay cash dividends or?"
"Let's pay dividends in cash. I'm really short of money... you have to support the shareholders' meeting at the end of the year."
"Yeah, no problem." Chen Mo said with a smile.
Bai Xiaoou sighed: "This is a used car, which I bumped into. I bought it for more than 50,000 yuan. The car dealer was in a hurry to lack funds. We contacted more than a dozen scrapped cars with rare models... For example, the lm002 car dealer, the price of scrapped cars is very high, and one is close to 200,000 US dollars." The lm002 is rarely in the US market, and most of them are in Europe...
"What does Luo Chen mean?"
"He can also take out a loan..." Bai Xiaoou smiled embarrassedly: "Without high investment, there will be high output. In the future, we are planning to rush to buy some rare limited models... For example, the Koenigsegg Argra rs1 was sold at only 2.9 million US dollars, but it only increased to 10 million US dollars in a few years. Last month, a car was traded in New York, with a transaction price of 11.02 million US dollars. We are also trying to rush to buy these orders, and if you can buy it, you will make a profit."
Chen Mo shrugged...
Not only Koenigsegg, but also the McLaren track version of Senna GTR, is available for 1.65 million US dollars, and can be purchased now, and the price is usually over 2 million. The 500 ordinary version has been sold out long ago, and it is mostly ordered by dealers and has appreciated a lot.
Second-hand car dealers, unless they reach a very large scale, the profit point is not high. For example, the garage driven by Chen Mo and the other three brothers, the profit per month may not be as good as the profit of reselling a rare limited sports car...
A car that costs $10,000, would be an exaggerated price of 1,200 yuan. But if it is a car worth one million yuan, it would be no exaggeration to increase the price of 1,000 or 20,000 yuan.
"Whatever I do. I won't invest too much money in the car dealer, and I will add up to 1 million at most. You said argra rs1. Koenigsegg also has depreciating models. High investment and high risks. I don't care about these losses. Think about Luo Chen..."
