Chapter 336 100 Million + 100 Million + 100 Million. . .
"Huh! It's so hot." I don't know if it's because of the psychological effect of the volcano being close at hand. As soon as I got off the plane, I was wrapped in a heat wave, which made Yang Cheng, who is used to New York's four distinct seasons, quite uncomfortable.
The climate conditions on the Big Island are slightly different from Ouhu Island where Honolulu is located. The humidity on Ouhu Island is heavier, giving people a feeling of dampness and airlessness, especially the so-called summer in Hawaii, which is the highest temperature. Sometimes, it's like being in a sauna cage.
The Big Island is relatively dry, of course, only relatively speaking, and because it is the largest island in the Hawaiian Islands, the climate on the island is a little more continental, but "hot" is still the theme of Hawaii, but compared to Europe The lake island is hot and humid, and the big island can be described as hot. It is now the rainy season in Hawaii, but luckily today, the rain stopped.
After arriving in Hawaii, it was naturally Situ Yanran's home field. The little girl rushed out of the airport with her brothers in high spirits. As early as on the plane, she called the staff on the big island to drive over to pick them up. Situ's family has an area on the big island. The vast plantation grows a variety of specialty crops, macadamia nuts, coffee beans, orchids, sugar cane and more.
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 kind of coffee beans has been contracted by Little Japan, and Situ’s family only has a small area at the foot of the volcano. In the coffee garden, the coffee beans produced are not top-notch.
There is no traffic jam problem on the Big Island, so the car quickly passed the side road full of towering trees on both sides, and drove into a large sugarcane planting area. The people are separated, and it is basically impossible for outsiders to intervene in the contract. Even if there is a bankrupt company that cannot sustain it, it will choose to sell it to a nearby manor owner for internal digestion.
But before that, the car passed through a garden. Situ Yanran ordered the driver to stop the car, and took Yang Cheng and others out of the car to visit for a while. This garden named Lili Ukulani was named after the last Hawaiian monarch—— Named after Queen Lili Ukulani, it was built to commemorate the first Japanese immigrants in Hawaii who worked hard in the sugarcane gardens of the Big Island. The park has fish ponds, red arch bridges, rock gardens, pagodas, Japanese stone lanterns, etc. .
David Ellison's family admired Japanese culture very much, and he even took a few photos and sent them to his crazy dad.
Get in the car and start again, pass through two volcanic national parks, pass the famous Punalu black sand beach, and when you are about to reach the southernmost tip of the US territory, the car suddenly turns and drives down a small river tributary. , the sugarcane garden of Situ's family appeared in front of him. Compared with the dense and prosperous sugarcane forests in other areas of the island, the garden in front of him looked much more desolate, but the area was really large.
According to the driver, from the road just turning the corner, all the way to the seaside is the territory of sugarcane gardens. It was indeed prosperous more than 10 years ago. The sugar produced here contributed a lot of profits to the Situ family, but For some unknown reason, the sugarcane forest withered almost overnight. The Situ family tried to save it many times, but in the end they failed to improve. Instead, they ignored it. Over the years, relying on natural reproduction, the sugarcane forest gradually recovered. The small patches of green that Yang Cheng and the others see today are actually the result of the self-growth of the woodland over the years.
In the huge sugarcane garden, only the purple-skinned sugarcane forest that is used for food is left, and there are not many green-skinned sugarcane that are specially used to produce sucrose.
However, with the decline in the sugar cane trade volume in recent years, the Situ family no longer thought about restoring the past glory of this sugarcane garden. If they didn't want to find something for Situ Yanran to do, they might just let the sugarcane garden grow on its own. Went out.
When the car came to the most lush area of the sugarcane garden, Yang Cheng stopped the car, got out of the car with a few people, and the Chinese driver took out a sickle from the trunk, randomly picked a purple sugarcane, and slapped it five times Cut off the second one, cut it into several sections, peeled it and handed it to the guest, Yang Cheng took it and took a bite, the sweet and refreshing juice instantly filled the mouth,
After chewing a few times to squeeze out the juice, the residue was casually spit on the ground, and asked David Ellison, "What do you think?"
Before getting off the plane, Yang Cheng also told David Ellison the purpose of the trip, so he also knew that his mission was to help out with ideas and find ways to start Situ Yanran's small business.
David Ellison was also chewing sugarcane, and said while spitting out the residue, "Actually, the environment here is good, facing the sea, and close to the black sand beach attractions, using this natural sugarcane forest to develop tourist hotels is the best way , but in this way the investment is relatively high, and the cost recovery time is too long, and the disadvantages are more obvious.”
Yang Cheng quite agrees, the sugar cane business is really not profitable now, of course, if it can monopolize the entire sugar cane plantation in Hawaii, that would be a different matter.
"When we turned into the sugarcane field, was the pasture on the opposite side? Whose? Why does it look so desolate?" Yang Cheng asked the Chinese driver.
"Oh, the ranch you mentioned is owned by a small Japanese family. I heard that the elders of their family have passed away, and their descendants have no intention of running the ranch. They have always wanted to sell their hands, but no one is willing to take it over. The area is about the same as a sugarcane farm. , about 15 acres.” The Chinese driver knew the neighborhood well, and the information came out of his mouth.
Yang Cheng crossed his hips, looking at the calm and blue Pacific Ocean, he didn't know what to think, until Situ Yanran pulled his sleeves, he came back to his senses and said to Situ Yanran, "The sugarcane garden can't continue to operate. Well, I guess you, a little girl, don't have the patience, or else, as David said, buy the ranch opposite and develop it into a top resort.
Then we can bring in the Hilton Hotel for cooperation, Yuanshan is responsible for the development, and Hilton is responsible for the hotel management. You will use this sugarcane plantation as a stake, and then you will be a director of the resort. How about it? "
Situ Yanran was using her little brain. Before she could answer, David Ellison interjected, "The natural scenery here is really good. There are no ultra-high-end hotels and resorts on the Big Island. I think this business has a lot to offer. Count me in." One share."
Xiao Lizi is also a smart person, so he would not miss this kind of obvious opportunity to make money, so he immediately expressed his opinion, "Count me into one."
Yang Cheng smiled. It is so simple for rich people to do business. "Based on the area of 30 acres, it needs at least 500 million US dollars to develop. You can subscribe separately?"
Situ Yanran raised her hand first and shouted, "I'll go home and convince my father to come forward and buy the ranch opposite, and then add some cash, so the total will be 100 million."
Yang Cheng nodded, land plus cash of 100 million US dollars is nothing to the Situ family, "Then I will pay 100 million in the name of the four-dimensional space."
David Ellison is even more relaxed, "Then I also have 100 million."
Only Xiao Lizi smiled wryly for a long time. He, a Hollywood superstar, instantly became a poor man. Sure enough, people are deader than others. After thinking about it for a long time, he gritted his teeth and said, "I can only pay 50 million. It’s going to give me some time to mobilize cash.”
Yang Cheng didn't care, "Okay, that's 350 million. When I ask Paris if she has any intention, let Hilton or her personally pay 100 million, and the remaining 50 million will be handed over to Yuan Shan. Do you have any objections? "
They are all their own people. Besides, everyone knows that Yang Cheng will not intervene in the management. They are all waiting for the dividends. Yuanshan will be responsible for the development and construction at that time. It is normal for people to occupy more points, so several people nodded in agreement. .
Yang Cheng finally made a decision, "Then this matter is settled like this. If it turns out that it exceeds the budget, everyone will vote in the same proportion. Follow the rules, go, find a place to have a drink, and wish us a fortune!"
"Yes, yes, my girls are coming soon." Xiao Lizi echoed with a happy smile. He took advantage of this time, otherwise no one would have taken him to play with him no matter how good the investment opportunity was.
"Then you go, Brother Chengzi, I have to go home and report to my father." Situ Yanran wanted to play with Yang Cheng, but she dared not enter the house when she arrived at the door, the tutor of Situ's family was very strict.
Yang Cheng rubbed Situ Yanran's little head, and said softly, "Then I'll see you off?"
"No, Brother Chengzi, I know Hawaii better than you. I'll go directly to the airport in a while, and just ask my family to 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, okay?"
"alright, I got it."
After spending 2 days in Hawaii, the three of Yang Cheng took a few third-rate models to visit the attractions of the whole big island before returning to Los Angeles. During the period, Yang Cheng also had a chat with Uncle Situ who flew over by helicopter. There is no mention of the development of the resort, even if it does not make money, as long as it is for the family's favorite jewel, the Situ family will not be stingy with the 100 million US dollars.
Several people signed an agreement of intent, and Yang Cheng would be in charge of contacting Hilton to discuss specific development plans. Situ Yanran was also included in the project team to coordinate local matters in Hawaii, such as running procedures and the like.
In short, the plan can only be implemented after Yang Cheng and Hilton have reached an agreement. The development cycle of the entire resort is expected to take 2 years, and it will be open for business in the second half of 2016 at the earliest.
. . .
On the morning of December 23, Yang Cheng returned to the Jason Manor in Beverly Hills alone. David Ellison and the others separated at the airport and went back to their respective homes.
When the car drove into the manor, looking at the familiar flowers and plants, and the housekeeper White standing respectfully at the door waiting for Yang Cheng, I felt inexplicably at ease.
"Good morning, sir, welcome back to the manor." White led the manor's servants to wait in line on the porch, helped Yang Cheng open the car door, and shouted in unison.
Yang Cheng was taken aback. There were no such rules in the manor before. She looked at White inexplicably, and saw him expressionless, but said with sly eyes, "This is Mr. Surprise. Facts have proved that we can compare with the British group. Guys do better."
"Haha, I said why you didn't even call me by name, but you actually called me Mr., and wondered why you hadn't seen each other for a long time, and you became strange. So you are jealous, White." Yang Cheng laughed loudly, patting White's face shoulder quipped.
