Chapter 241: Napa Valley, the Wine Capital
Early the next morning, Dong Shanhe and Smithwood headed to Napa Valley. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Since you have decided that you want to go to Napa Valley to buy a grape plantation, it is time to hurry.
Dong Shanhe's action made Smith feel a little strange, he has always been a Chinese person but has no efficiency in doing things, Dong Shanhe directly surprised him this time.
Smith doesn't understand that Chinese people may not be very efficient when they do official business, but when they do their own private affairs, they are absolutely efficient, they are definitely patted on the head here, and they will be executed the next moment, and they will definitely not be like democratic countries and companies, and they still need this and that to vote.
This time, however, instead of going in an RV, the group took a private jet to San Francisco and then to Parna Valley.
Actually, it was possible to fly directly to Pana Valley, but Smith and Wood couldn't help it if they insisted on going from San Francisco.
After yesterday's efforts, Wood has reached a preliminary agreement with Neverland to purchase the entire Dreamland for 300 million US dollars.
However, Wood still put forward a condition, that is, he must not disclose the news before the deal is concluded, otherwise he will never buy it, and as a result, Wood did not even pay the deposit.
You must know that in the United States, you must take into account the so-called voice of the people, otherwise, you will be unlucky.
"Wood, is there a particularly suitable red wine estate?" Dong Shanhe sat on the plane, looked at the white clouds under his feet, drank the red wine of Pana Valley and said to the two people opposite.
Dong Shanhe doesn't have a deep understanding of red wine, and he doesn't know too much, but he knows that in the current world, red wine is a more valuable thing after all, and the price of a bottle of red wine from a famous winery is more than 1,000 US dollars, which is much higher than the price of domestic liquor.
Bitter and sweet, this is Dong Shanhe's first sip, after a few bites, Dong Shanhe felt that the dry red here is not bad, the bitter taste is very small, if you don't taste it carefully, you can't feel it at all.
Dong Shanhe drank the red wine in the wine glass in his hand in two sips, took the standard wine bottle, and poured a full glass into the goblet crystal cup.
Looking at the wry smiles of the two people opposite, Dong Shanhe understood very well in his heart, but he was still willing to do this, just do it by himself, why do you have to care about other people's opinions, I am just willing to pour the whole wine glass full of red wine, can't I?
Like drinking liquor, Dong Shanhe is dry in one gulp.
After drinking three glasses in a row, Dong Shanhe put down the wine glass in his hand, "This red wine is good, tell me what winery it is, can we buy it?" Dong Shanhe pointed to the red wine bottle and asked.
"Mr. Dong, this bottle of red wine is the red wine of Howling Eagle Winery in Napa Valley, although it is the most famous wine at Napa Valley Deer Leap Winery, but the red wine of Howling Eagle Winery is the best taste. Wood still knows a lot about Napa Valley, and he doesn't drink a lot of red wine, after all, he often comes into contact with billionaires, and Smith doesn't know much about that.
"Just tell me if you can buy it?" Dong Shanhe said impatiently.
What are you doing with such rambling nonsense, can you or can't, in a word.
"No, or Mr. Dong, you know that the funds are not enough. Wood said categorically to Dong Shanhe.
"How much does that cost?" Dong Shanhe felt that he had more than a billion US dollars, and that money couldn't buy a winery?
"Mr. Dong, if you want to buy Deer Leap Winery or Howling Eagle Winery, you need at least 10 billion US dollars, and you may not be able to buy it, you must know that there are many rich people who have this idea in the United States, but the owners of these wineries have rejected them. ”
Under Wood's introduction, but gradually understood that in the Western world, red wine is also a way for a family to maintain wealth, as long as the winery's fame starts, there is no worry about making money at all, you must know that the Château Lafite in France is the family private property of the so-called Sixth Empire, they have always been collected as the core treasure, and will not be sold to the outside world at all.
It is precisely because there is a big family behind every well-known winery, so they will prosper forever and will make their fame known to the whole world, even Dong Shanhe, who usually does not drink red wine, knows what Lafite in '82 is.
"Since we can't buy it, then we will just create a better winery than them, and then we will be angry with them. "Dong Shanhe is confident that he can create a better winery because he has a cheat.
When the time comes, the vines of the entire winery will be poured with spatial spiritual liquid and let them evolve, Dong Shanhe will not believe that the grapes picked up by these vines will be bad.
Although the quality of red wine depends on the craftsmanship of the brewer, the most important thing is to look at the quality of the grapes.
It's like the domestic saying, give a super chef a piece of shit, he can only make shit.
Smith and Wood were small, they didn't talk to each other, they didn't believe it at all, but what they said, the famous wineries in Napa Valley are all thirty or forty years old, how can they be surpassed in three or two years.
At the moment, but in their eyes, he is a madman, thinking that he is a nouveau riche who doesn't know the height of the sky, as if there is nothing that money can't do.
The private jet soon landed at the San Francisco airport, where the three of them made a short stopover before driving a Mercedes 600 to Napa Valley.
Napa Valley is only sixty miles from San Francisco, which is a hundred kilometers in other words, and it took the group only an hour to reach Napa Valley.
Dong Shanhe watched the driver drive, and then realized that the 40 or 60 per hour written on the roadside sign in the United States turned out to be the minimum speed, which is just the opposite of China.
"It's still cooler to drag race in the United States!" Dong Shanhe really saw the sign with a speed limit of 80.
After entering the territory of Napa Valley, Dong Shanhe saw the hills all over the sky, the low hills were full of vines, and in March, the vines had just sprouted new shoots, and there was not much green in sight.
"It's just the right time. "Buy a grape plantation now, and evolve them with the Space Elixir, and by the fall, you can harvest a flawless Cabernet Sauvignon.
Most of the red wines in Napa Valley are made from Cabernet Sauvignon, so there are basically a lot of red wines here, and dry whites are almost impossible to find here.
"Wood, where are the plantations you put me in touch with? After getting out of the car, Dong Shanhe asked Wood beside him.
"Mr. Dong, don't worry, it's noon, let's go to the usual Napa Valley wine and food first, and then we'll work in the afternoon. ”
Dong Shanhe listened and looked at the watch in his left hand, it was exactly twelve o'clock, "Okay, eat first." ”
