Chapter 242: Maple Leaf Winery
Napa Valley is the wine region of the United States and a great place to visit, welcoming four to five million people to Napa Valley every year. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Visit the vineyard, visit the wine cellar, taste the winery's red wine and food, and even participate in the grape harvest in autumn, and then the grapes picked by yourself will be sealed by the winery to you with two bottles of red wine.
Dong Shanhe also thought that farmhouses were only owned in China, but who knew that this model was popular in the United States decades ago.
Dong Shanhe and Wood Smith tasted the red wine and food of an unknown winery together.
This time, Dong Shanhe felt that the red wine of this winery was two grades worse than the red wine of Xiaoying Winery that he drank in the morning, and it was not a taste thing at all.
"Most of the wines here are table wines, and they are only twenty or thirty dollars a bottle. Wood said as he ate.
Dong Shanhe nodded, he knew very well, don't look at the United States, this bottle of wine only sells for twenty or thirty dollars, but in China, this bottle of wine is embarrassed to say hello to other wineries if it is not doubled by three or four times.
Thinking of this, Dong Shanhe wanted to buy a big plantation, and then make more red wine, even if it was thirty or fifty dollars a bottle, it could be sold for more than five hundred yuan in China, and if he bought a vineyard of more than 10,000 acres, he would harvest one million bottles of red wine that year, and sell it to China, at least 200 million yuan.
Of course, Dong Shanhe has to do this kind of thing that makes money without losing money, and he must do it well.
However, Dong Shanhe must know that this matter is not as simple as a man, it is impossible for a completely unfamiliar red wine brand to open up sales in China, and the world does not know how many red wine wineries are doing this kind of thing.
"Whatever, I'll do it first. "Dong Shanhe doesn't believe in evil, and the living can still be suffocated to death by urine? There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and it doesn't matter if he is unrelated.
"Okay, Wood, let's eat and eat, and watch and watch again, you should hurry up and call me the owner of the winery that I have made an appointment. Dong Shanhe wiped his mouth with a napkin, lowered his head and said.
"Mr. Dong, don't worry, you wait here for a while, just wait for a while!" Dong Shanhe looked at the smiling Wood, and he didn't know what medicine he was selling in his gourd, so he sat on the chair and waited quietly.
After ten minutes, Dong Shanhe saw a thin old man walking in outside, wearing a cowboy hat, coming to Wood and hugging him a few times.
"Old George, this is my client this time, he wants to buy a vineyard and a red wine winery here, so I brought him to you. Wood and George Sr. hugged him and said to him.
But then I realized that being at the winery where I am now is one of my goals this time.
"Hello!" Old George laughed and hugged Dong Shanhe when he heard that Dong Shanhe had come to buy the winery.
Dong Shanhe also felt the enthusiasm of the old American cowboy for the first time, don't look at this is not the hometown of the cowboy, but California is also not the west.
"Thank you, Mr. George, for your kindness, let's sit down and have a good talk. After Dong Shanhe and Old George let go, the four of them sat down around the table.
Dong Shanhe and Wood said something yesterday, that is, the bigger the grape plantation, the better, and the rest doesn't matter.
Also don't know how big old George's plantation was?
"Mr. Dong, George Sr. is an old Californian, he is also a native of Napa Valley, and he is very good at winemaking, but at the moment his children's company is experiencing financial constraints, so he has no choice but to sell it. Listening to Wood's words, Dong Shanhe didn't know what it was like, to know that when buying things in China, if he knew that others were in a hurry to use money, he had to kill a good price, did Wood want to impress himself with sadness.
"Wood, tell me just how big the vineyard is, I told you yesterday that I need a big plantation, and I don't want to buy a small plantation. Dong Shanhe leaned back in the chair with a faint stomach and Wood said.
"Mr. Dong, the old George's family's plantation is about 10,000 acres in size, and it also has two standard wineries and a wine cellar. ”
Dong Shanhe listened to Wood's words, it was only 10,000 acres, is it a little small, Dong Shanhe originally wanted to buy a larger one.
"Dong Shanhe may not care, I'm talking about acres, in the United States, an acre has an area of more than 4,000 square meters. Listening to Wood's words, Dong Shanhe suddenly woke up.
More than 4,000 square meters, this is six acres of land, and the 10,000 acres of plantation is replaced by the number of acres in Huaxia that is 60,000 acres of land, "Okay, let's continue to talk about others." Dong Shanhe is quite satisfied with this number.
60,000 acres of land, not big or small, no matter how big, I don't know if the American government will allow it to be sold to himself, Dong Shanhe watched the news at the beginning, a Chinese rich man wanted to buy a piece of land in Australia, good guys, 100,000 square kilometers, which is as big as Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces, but the Australian government just didn't approve it, and finally had to give up.
"Mr. Dong, the vines in my family's plantation are all very young saplings, the oldest is only ten years, and the youngest is only three years. Old George said with a sigh.
This land has been passed down from his ancestors for generations, and he has been sold like this, and he has a lot of reluctance in his heart, but he has no choice, his son's high-tech company is in Silicon Valley, and it is about to go public, but unfortunately the capital chain is broken, and the venture capital company is willing to invest money, but it is all robbed while the fire is burning, and old George has no choice but to sell his winery.
"Mr. George, you still tell me how much it is, right?" Dong Shanhe asked bluntly after listening to Old George's words.
Who said that Americans don't care about children? Who said that Americans' children will be kicked out of their homes when they reach adulthood, Dong Shanhe understands that those are all rumors, as a country where the Puritans are the mainstream, they are the same as the Chinese people, they are very interested in families and children, and the rumors are all things that blacks, Mexicans, or immigrants from other countries do.
It is said that the social atmosphere in the United States is open, and that is before marriage, and the divorce rate in the United States is only about 10 percent, while the divorce rate in China is almost 30 percent.
Although Dong Shanhe was distressed about what happened to Old George's son, he didn't want to spend money in vain, and he could save a little bit is a little.
"I want to sell $350 million. After Old George finished speaking, he looked at Dong Shanhe with a blank eye.
The current environment is not very good, there are many rich people in the United States, but they don't want to buy their own unknown winery, they all want to buy Howling Eagle Winery, Deer Leap Winery, Belinger Winery, Montavian Winery and other well-known wineries, and their own Maple Leaf Winery is really not famous.
"Smith, you talk to them first, and I'll go out for a walk. Dong Shanhe thought about it, and definitely talked about it first, it would be better to buy it at the price in his heart, if he couldn't change it, Napa Valley would not be as big as this one.
