American Ranch

Chapter 210 Pulling Dodgson into the Occupation
It takes less than an hour to drive from Berkeley to Napa.

When we arrived at the car dealership, the manager of the dealership, Saxon, was waiting, and came over to help Chen Mo open the car door: "Mr. Chen, Mr. Bai."

"Yeah." Chen Mo got off the car, looked left and right, the dealership has added a lot of second-hand cars: "How about my modified Lm002?"

"It's basically finished. It is going to be sent to the Monterey track for testing the day after tomorrow. The final tuning work will be done by the Monterey professional tuning company..."

Bai Xiaoou came over and patted Chen Mo on the shoulder, looking at Saxon: "Is Aubrey here?"

"In the lounge."

"OK." Bai Xiaoou put his arms around Chen Mo's shoulders: "Car modification is a big job. It is not called modification by installing bulletproof glass or changing the chassis, but a high-performance modification based on the prototype car. The transmission system and matching The engine has to be greatly changed, and the completed lm002 weighs nearly 3 tons, and can accelerate from 6 kilometers to less than [-] seconds."

The wheelbase of the original Lm002 is 3 meters, the body width is 2 meters, the net weight is 2.7 tons, the power is as high as 450 horsepower, it is matched with a 5.2-liter V12 engine, and the acceleration from 7.7 kilometers is [-] seconds.

This is a military project in the late 20s. It has a very good foundation. As long as you are willing to spend money, the performance of various data can be improved a lot.

Entering the lounge, a bearded man stood up from the sofa with a smile, and opened his hands: "Bai, you are finally here."

Bai Xiaoou smiled and hugged the bearded man: "I kept you waiting. This is 'Mo', my friend. He is also the owner of Reventon and Lm002."

"Hello."

"Hello." Chen Mo smiled and introduced the bearded man's hug.

"I do know the price of the black Lm002. You sold it for $53.7 at the Sacramento auction." Aubrey wanted to negotiate the price again.

"This is a rare model, and it is worth keeping." Chen Mo shrugged and said with a smile: "There will be a lot of room for improvement in the future."

"Well, your reason...convinced me." Aubrey smiled: "It's 89 US dollars, won't it be changed?"

"You can sign the contract now." Chen Mo opened his hand.

Aubrey laughed and hugged Chen Mo again: "By the way, I want to do the same modification as 'Mo', it looks really handsome, especially the wheels, I have to match it with a handsome Chinese characters."

"No problem, how about using the word 'Ao'." Bai Xiaoou asked the staff to bring a pen and paper, and write a beautiful Chinese character: "This is the first Chinese character transliterated from your name..." Bai Xiaoou Ou explained some Chinese culture and the meaning of names in detail.

Aubrey took a look and was very satisfied: "It's very good, it's just him. By the way, how much did the modification of the 'Mo' car cost?"

"55 US dollars. Mo is a shareholder of the car dealership and holds 40% of the shares like me. We charge him 55 US dollars. It is almost the cost price..."

"watt?"

Bai Xiaoou shrugged, took Aubrey to the reception room, and invited the manager of the auto repair shop...to do auto repairs and modifications.

"This is Ardmore, the technical team leader of our modification workshop, let him talk about the modification of Lm002." Bai Xiaoou said.

Aubrey looked over...

Ardmore took out the list, unfolded it, and said: "First of all, the brake system. After the overhaul, the weight of the Lm002 has only increased by less than 300 kilograms, and the acceleration from 62 miles to 6 seconds is less than 002 seconds...First of all, to ensure driving safety, we use carbon fiber. Ceramic brake system. Lm80 is a car from the 5s and [-]s. Engine repair, gearbox repair, overall parameter adjustment, etc. Here are detailed data. The site is roughly installed with bulletproof glass... [-] custom-made explosion-proof tires... "

Auberley is a knowledgeable person. After refitting the whole car, the small parts are almost replaced, and a bolt costs 45 US dollars (titanium alloy screws).

Almost all of the vehicle's wiring, control system, etc. have been replaced.

Aubrey rolled his eyes, he almost didn't change the engine, but he repaired the engine, made minor adjustments to the parameters, and the gearbox... It's really a big change.

The modification of 55 US dollars is really too expensive, even though it is a bulletproof modification.

"NO, such a modification is too extravagant."

Bai Xiaoou shrugged: "You can go to the modification company at the Sonoma Circuit. The modification of Lm002 is very troublesome, and many accessories need to be specially customized..."

First signed the black Lm002 contract, 89 US dollars. As for how to change it, it is Auberley's own business, and has nothing to do with Chen Mo.

The modified white Lm002 did not cost 55 US dollars, and the final tuning was completed, it should be around 40 US dollars.But in business, who doesn't want to make money...

After accepting the check, Chen Mo will go to the bank to cash the check, and then write a check for 4.45 US dollars to the car dealer. This is the intermediate fee, 5.00%.

Selling an expensive car will cost you more than [-] or [-] second-hand cars.

Back at the garage, Aubrey was sitting in the driver's seat of Chen Mo's white Lm002, driving in the open space of the garage...

After major revision, the sound of the V002 engine presents a violent beauty in the Lm12, which is very similar to the mechanical sound of the old Lamborghini.This is the road sports mode, and the sound is relatively loud. When it is adjusted to the comfort mode, the sound is very small, and it does not feel noisy when the door is closed in the cab...

"Hi, Mo. Your car is great, I can feel its continuous power, and it can take me out for a lap." Aubrey got off the car and said.

Chen Mo shrugged: "No problem."

Bai Xiaoou went over to get a temporary license plate and sat in the back seat of the car...

Chen Mo drove around and went to Atlas Peak: "It feels pretty good, the continuous power output is very comfortable."

"Sure, it's cool to go off-road in the desert, try Pope's Valley."

In the Chilean Valley, Chen Mo gave up the driving seat to let Aubrey enjoy himself, and then went to the desert off-road field in the Valley of the Popes...

The happiness of a man is amazing. For example, there is a powerful off-road vehicle, and three men can play for a whole day, shouting excitedly like a neurotic...

The wheels run over the sand and raise dust all over the sky, and the bumpy feeling of leaping across the hills is always exciting.

Playing until the evening, Aubrey blushed with excitement: "It's great, it's great, I want to change it like this."

Bai Xiaoou smiled and lit a cigar: "It's a super bull that weighs nearly 3 tons. If it's modified, it's made of ultra-high-strength materials. If you only make minor changes, it's better not to change it at all."

Chen Mo just smiled and didn't speak.

Back at the car dealership, Chen Mo said goodbye to Aubrey and prepared to return to Beiwan...

This time I drove to Chen Mo.

"I feel that Mavericks have a better driving experience than Da Niu." Chen Mo felt like buying a Mavericks a long time ago.

Mavericks is a low-key car, and it is more comfortable to drive than Da Niu.

"Buy it if you like it, you're not short of money anyway. Oh, let me tell you... Have you ever thought about opening a restaurant?" Bai Xiaoou said suddenly.

"Why do I ask you this?" Chen Mo had the idea of ​​opening a restaurant. After all, he had high-quality resources, but he never told Bai Xiaoou about it.

Bai Xiaoou let out a long breath: "Jing Chenghong has a lot of ideas about the position of the principal of the TBL Chef Academy. But his qualifications obviously cannot compete with Dodgson... I have communicated with Dodgson in private, and he asked The matter of my barbecue restaurant is probably ready to change jobs."

"You've been talking about this since last year. You first said you were going to open a high-end hot pot restaurant, and then you said you were going to open a barbecue restaurant. What do you think?"

Bai Xiaoou shook his head: "The establishment of Tangxia Yipin was based entirely on one's strength. Now that the family has a big business and a lot of affairs, it is a bit difficult to start a new business. Your ranch has the best beef and the best meat. Mutton, if you want to open a restaurant, you can definitely recruit Dodgson... His contract with Waylon's company will expire at the end of the year."

Dodgson, one of the ten famous chefs in the United States.If he joins River Valley Restaurant...

But inviting such a famous chef is definitely not "inviting", but cooperation.
