Chapter 69: Dream Manor

In the north of Changli County, Qinhuangdao City, 30 kilometers away from Beidai River.

Originally, it was just a potholed barren slope with no trees at all.

Most of the place is bare soil, and even in summer, there are only a few shrubs and weeds.

However, the soil is more suitable for growing grapes.

However, because there is a large area of puddles and many ravines and hills, the cultivated terrain is destroyed.

As a result, the Chinese Wine Company, which first discovered the area, was reluctant to ask for it, and eventually enclosed it outside its vineyard.

If you want to follow the original historical trajectory, this place should be abandoned forever, and there will be nothing.

But after the 2008 Olympics, this place is different, a dream manor, where miracles usually appear.

Not for anything else, just because this land has entered Zhuoqun's vision.

Since China Wine Company is a listed company, Zhuoqun, who was invited to conduct research here, discovered this place by chance.

As soon as he saw the terrain here, he quickly ordered the driver to stop the car and then stood here for a long time.

And the more he looked, the more he felt that the topography, climate and geographical location here were the most suitable places to create his dream home.

So after signing a 50-year lease with the government, Zhuoqun did not hesitate to spend a lot of money and began to overhaul the land for civil engineering.

Design planning is of course important before construction.

In order to create a good ecological environment and make the environment artistic, Zhuoqun found three internationally renowned design companies from RB, the United States and Europe to come up with design plans.

In the end, he chose the solution of a European company.

In this design scheme, a German designer took a minimalist and restrained attitude.

Simple stone sculptures are used to intervene in the site as a framework for the reconstructed ecological environment.

It was decided to expand the puddle into a pond and make its surrounding area the centre of the renovation project.

In the end, the land was defined as a combination of vineyards and grasslands where you can fully feel the charm of nature.

After that, through modern mechanical forces and manual means.

Several vineyards have been cultivated on the slopes of the hill, and numerous foliage trees such as maple and coxadocus have been planted.

In other places, grasses and wildflowers have also begun to be cultivated on a large scale.

Native shrubs such as fruit groves, raspberries, blackberries, etc., are planted on the margins of the farm to demarcate private boundaries.

As for the pond, in addition to planting moisture-tolerant plants such as reeds and building a stone viewing platform, it is also the site of the theme building complex.

Eventually, four years later, European-style buildings were everywhere.

Plus garden, glass conservatory, fountain, wine cellar, stables, racetrack, hay house, private theater, library, gymnasium with gymnasium, dock, garage, utility warehouse, workers' quarters...... These functional buildings have been erected.

It has been transformed into a sparse grassland farm covering 180 hectares of maple forests.

Not only the functions of life and entertainment are perfect, but the whole air is also full of ideals and romance.

In the autumn of 2012, Zhuoqun officially moved into the estate.

When he stood on the balcony of his bedroom and took a look at the feat, which had cost him two and a half billion, even he himself could not help but be fascinated.

What kind of majestic scenery does it look like in front of him?

During this grape harvest season, you can see the vineyards on the north side of the hillside, and there are many grape pickers working hard.

Carrying huge wooden barrels full of fresh grapes, they snaked like worker ants towards the mills and extruders outside the cellar downhill.

The wave-like vine trellises on the hillside, as well as the red and yellow maples and cochinese, give the whole farm a colorful autumn coat.

As for the opposite direction, it is also a photographic paradise for master photographers.

Because it is a grassland with fruit forests, ponds, flowers, meadows, and sand dunes.

There are also maple leaves with golden leaves and colorful flowers and plants.

As long as everything can be incorporated into the lens, the colors are saturated, as if you have stepped into a colorful holy place.

In particular, a cool breeze blows, under the pure blue sky, except for the trees, grass, and flowers.

The joyful running of horses, sheep and sheepdogs under the watchful care of the guards and herdsmen adds a warm life to the scene.

It's like being in a dynamic oil painting, and the charming colors of the ranch become more and more graceful......

But the only pity is that such a beautiful scenery and style are not shared with Zhuoqun.

Although at this time, Zhuoqun already has assets of more than 300 billion yuan, which is quite close to the richest man in the world.

But mentally and emotionally, he became an extremely lonely person.

Yes, since his mother's mental problems, Zhuo Qun has completely lost the warmth of family affection.

His mother's treatment was ineffective in subsequent treatments.

No matter how good the hospital or foreign experts are, they can't make my mother forget the nightmare of the stock drop.

As a result, her condition soon deteriorated to the point where she couldn't take care of herself and couldn't even recognize people.

For this reason, Zhuo Qun's father couldn't accept this fact at all, so he put all the fault on his son.

thinks Zhuo Qun is the culprit of family tragedy.

It was he who brought stock speculation into his mother's life that ruined the family.

So in his father's heart, Zhuo Qun is no longer his son, but an enemy who is more hateful than any bad person.

What makes Zhuo Qun particularly painful is that this hatred can not only be clearly felt by him, but also will not change with the passage of time.

Because after that, his father not only sold the villa and the car, but also gave him everything he gave them back at the beginning.

They also took their mother out of the special care unit of the psychiatric hospital and brought them back to their original small home.

Since then, they have lived only on their pensions.

Every year, Zhuo Qun was only allowed to visit his mother on his mother's birthday and before the Spring Festival, and firmly refused all the financial help he offered.

Even every time they meet, they don't smile, like strangers.

It can be said that it is strange that under the care of my father, it is the kind of ordinary life that can no longer be ordinary.

However, it has had an effect on the improvement of the mother's condition.

Gradually, my mother regained acquainted with the people around her and gradually regained some of her ability to take care of herself.

It's just that for Zhuo Qun, the bigger blow is that his mother's understanding of life and time will always stop when he was in junior high school.

Although she often mentions her son in her mouth, in fact, all she thinks about in her heart is the son who has not grown up and has excellent character and learning.

For the rich son who is an adult in reality and comes to visit her twice a year in a luxury car, there is no sense of closeness.

Not only did I ask him who he was and what he was doing every time I saw him, but I was also very impatient to deal with his cold and warm questions.

always asked him if he had found the wrong person, and said that he didn't know him at all.

What an irony!

One can imagine how sad Zhuo Qun was because of the alienation of his parents.

For this reason, even he couldn't help hating himself and felt that he was no longer human.

He always couldn't help but think.

Perhaps it is precisely because in his mother's impression that he has overlapped with stocks and money as an adult, and has been equated with such things.

The mother's brain, out of a sense of self-preservation, was reluctant to think about it at all.

will completely erase him like deleted data, and will never leave any impression.

If this is the case, then it makes sense that his father did not hate him.
