Chapter 006

Anfeng also bought an off-road motorcycle and an all-terrain car. The off-road motorcycle is directly placed on the pickup truck and the all-terrain car is the kind of four-wheel motorcycle that can be played on the domestic beach, and the merchant is responsible for the delivery. He bought it because he considered the mountain roads and venues around the vineyards, and it would be great to play off-road occasionally.

Originally, she planned to go to the gun shop, but California is one of the four states with the strictest gun management in the United States. I heard that I still have to take exams or something. Before I figured it out, An Feng temporarily gave up this huge temptation. He returned to the car and moved to the vineyard little by little towards the GPS navigation device.

The F-150 is big, the cab is high, the field of view is wide, and the power is surging when you step down the accelerator, which completely drives the small cars around you. The interior space is spacious, An Feng sat down at 1.81 meters tall, and there is still a lot of spare time on his head. No wonder so many people like to drive big cars.

It was more than 70 kilometers away from the vineyards. It was not the first time An Feng drove, but it was the first time he drove in the United States. He gave him the feeling that pickup trucks were everywhere on the road and the speed of the cars was very fast. He clearly saw the sign "65" written on the side of the road, but many cars were faster than 75 miles. He was very brave. When he saw others fast, he followed him, but it only took half an hour to go back.

Leaving the national highway, turning into the two-way lane leading to the vineyards. The straight road is endless and surrounded by mountains and vast vineyards. It is mid-June, and the sun is shining. The white clouds under the blue sky are extremely low, and the air is amazingly good. An Feng slowed down his car and looked at the left and right sides of the road with dazzling eyes. His mind is filled with green mountains, sunshine blooming, full grapes, and a dreamy scene with beautiful wine.

Attracting the fresh air, looking at the green, listening to the country music on the radio station, An Feng shook with the beat and shouted excitedly: "This is life!"

"In such a good weather, I have to get a convertible!" After thinking about it, he saw his mansion on the top of the mountain from afar through the car window. The vast and neatly arranged vineyards belong to him. He drove slowly up the mountain and saw a more magnificent view.

An Feng rolled his car in the garage, got out of the car and walked slowly in the front yard to make up for the regret of not being able to enjoy it last time. The grass was planted with soft grass and some common palm trees, and there were also short shrubs that could not be named. It was green and there were birds crying from time to time. It was also good to find an opportunity to raise a few dogs and play on the lawn.

The house adopts a horizontal design, two stories high, but very wide, with a total of seven bedrooms and nine bathrooms. The interior is paved with light yellow wooden floors, oil paintings and a dozen slit elk heads hanging on the walls. The fireplace and sofa in the living room are also in the same color scheme, which reflects a calm and harmonious overall.

There is a home theater on the first floor that can accommodate fifteen to twenty people. The seats are luxurious and separate, and there are sofa-style ones. Turn off the lights. An Feng tried the audio equipment. The effect was shocking and it was even more pleasant than the cinema. It is said that this is the top BOSE audio specially purchased by the former owner.

There is also a gym with a temperature of more than 100 square meters on the first floor, complete with treadmills, mountaineers, rowing machines, and barbells. He weighed the barbell pieces and then lifted them on the bench press stand a few times. In the future, he could practice if he had anything to do. In addition, there were two steel pipes in the corner of the wall, and a floor-to-ceiling mirror behind it. The front owner was really tasteful.

An Feng traveled every corner and looked around. The design of the house was obviously done with some effort, but it was not very suitable for his personality. He liked youth and fashion, and his current style was a bit like a house where an old noble in his thirties and forties lived, lacking liveliness and vitality.

Just as I was rating the house, the sound of the car horn came from outside. When I went downstairs and walked out of the house, I saw a two-door Chevrolet pickup truck parked at the gate. Among the few people got out of the car, An Feng had seen a man named John, who was managing the vineyard for the previous owner.

"Hi!" An Feng greeted.

"Hello, Mr. An!" said an older white man, who was about fifty years old, with a little white hair, wearing a shirt and jeans, and a slightly raised belly. "Call me Old John, everyone calls me that. When we see you back, we will come over and take a look."

"Please inside." An Feng invited them into the house, "Sorry, I just moved here and I was not prepared for anything."

"No need to worry," Old John said with a smile. "Mr. Ann, we want to talk to you about hiring grape employees."

An Feng sat on the sofa, "Please say."

Old John said: "As the last owner went bankrupt, most of the employees left, but it was the season for grapes to grow. No one took care of them, and the more than 300 acres of grapes were abandoned. Five workers insisted on working for three weeks. If the work was not settled, they could only find another way out."

An Feng understood halfway and asked in surprise: "Are they all voluntary?"

Old John nodded: "After the vineyard went bankrupt, many people couldn't bear to leave when they saw the grapes they planted with one hand were not taken care of."

An Feng said: "If you count the funds that have not been settled, I will settle them for you, and I welcome them if you are willing to stay."

Old John was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Mr. An, thank you so much!"

"It's okay, tell me how much money is?" An Feng used all the female family members of the real estate company. If these people hadn't stayed to help, I'm afraid the grapes would have suffered a lot in the past three weeks, right?

"According to the weekly salary of 800 per person, it is a total of 12,000 US dollars," said Old John.

"OK." An Feng took out the check book, filled in the amount, tore it off and handed it to Old John.

Old John took the check and looked at it, and said happily: "Mr. An, you are such a good person!"

Good man? An Fenghan was the first. Several other young grape employees also came forward to shake hands and thanked him. They originally only hoped to stay and continue working. After all, they did it voluntarily for these three weeks. Unexpectedly, the young rich man was so cheerful that he took the debt to himself without saying a word.

An Feng is not stupid either. He is not familiar with the place. The most important thing is to win people's hearts. It is to keep a good reputation. And everyone hopes to hire good employees. Besides, it's not only ten thousand dollars. After he develops the technology of artificial diamonds, the American people will still have to pay for the debt.

Looking at their expressions, you will know that money has successfully won a lot of character. An Feng asked, "Old John, do you need to add something else to the vineyard?"

Old John is very good at doing: "Five permanent workers are enough, and the remaining labor is added by about ten, and recruiting winemakers, cellar managers, etc. can be postponed."

An Feng nodded: "You can do these things, just report a account to me when the time comes."

After these notices were passed on, An Feng's actions naturally won support. In the afternoon, the employees who were originally about to leave moved the things back. They did not live with An Feng, but a house at the foot of the mountain. When An Feng helped a cowgirl move things, he looked at it. The two-story house was not big or small, and each person's bedroom had thirty or forty square meters, and they had a bathroom. They usually had to eat in the living room. An Feng didn't have to be responsible for food. They just provided them with some meat. There was a small vegetable garden outside, planting tomatoes and other vegetables.

Then Anfeng and Old John went to the vineyards to learn about some basic situations. According to him, the planting area of ​​more than 300 acres is a large-scale, and some more famous wineries in Napa Valley are about 100 acres, with an annual output of about 20,000 boxes, which is incomparable to Anfeng's gardens.

But in terms of brand value, Anfeng is not as good as other wineries. He walked into the underground wine cellar and took a look. There were oak barrels neatly placed inside, but most of them were empty. There were only more than a thousand bottles of red wine on the wine rack. I opened one bottle and tasted it. The quality was just average.

In general, most of the grapes produced are mainly sold to other wineries, and the remaining small part is made from brewing, so this garden can only be called a vineyard rather than a winery. According to Old John, the former owner only regarded this place as a place for vacation, occasionally came to play with his friends, so he built a stable and a horse farm behind the house, and raised more than a dozen horses before bankruptcy.

An Feng drove a motorcycle around the vineyard and recognized his territory. After he felt that his previous owner had built this place into a rural resort manor. There was no need to mention the mansion on the top of the mountain, the stables at the foot of the mountain, the off-road field at the edge, and even an unbuilt badminton court.
