698 Official contact with Harran
"You see, that's the vineyard of Eagle Winery. ”
In the afternoon, Li Feng and his entourage, accompanied by Wilhallan, the successor of Harran Winery, toured the vineyards of Harran Winery, standing on a hillside, Wilhallan pointed to a vineyard road in the distance.
"Oh, that's the famous Howling Eagle Winery!"
“…”
Hearing Wilharan's words, Li Feng and the others immediately stopped and looked into the distance, looking curiously at the vineyard in the distance.
"In the heart of Napa Valley, Oak Village, we stand opposite to Howling Eagle, and my father also valued the unique geographical conditions of Oak Village, and spent a lot of effort to acquire this total of 97 hectares of mountainous land, and even so, only 10 hectares of top vineyards were developed. ”
"I think Mr. Harlan made the wisest decision that time, otherwise we would not have had the opportunity to taste the best wines of Harlan in the past. Li Feng replied with a smile.
"Hehe... , John, you have won the prize, my father once said that if there is no Harlan, there may be another Harlan out, after all, the unique geographical environment of Oak Village is placed here, someone will always come to find out, we just took a chance. ”
"Haha... That's Mr. Harlan is too modest. ”
“…”
"John, this is one of our newest Bond Winery's Grand Cru vineyards, Melberry Garden, which is selected from the best vineyards in Napa Valley, and we have been adhering to the essence of the vineyards on the Burgundy side of France, hoping to make top vineyards that are not inferior to Romanée Conti, and we have selected 5 of these top vineyards, and in addition to these 5 top vineyards, we have also selected nearly 60 selected vineyards in Napa Valley, and we established Bond Winery last year.
If Château Harlan aims to become a 'Lafite of America', then Bond's goal is Romanée Conti, and we want Bond to become the 'Romanée Conti of America'. ”
At this time, the group walked to the edge of a new vineyard, and Wilharan immediately pointed to the vineyard and introduced it.
……
"Oh... It seems that you are really ambitious, do you learn from Romanée Conti, with several top gardens as the core, to create a winery like Romanée Conti. ”
Hearing Will's introduction, Li Feng immediately reacted, isn't this the case with Romanée Conti, if you want to buy authentic Romanée Conti, you need to pair it with the rest of the red wine of Romanée Condi.
In fact, the future Bond Winery has indeed done as Will said, Harlan Winery is naturally the top worship winery in Napa Valley, and Bond Winery is also hard to find, and every year new wine is sold through members, and ordinary people can't buy it at all.
It can be said that in the American wine industry, the Harlan family still has a lot of influence, after all, it holds the two major Napa Valley worship estates of Harlan and Bond, and has accumulated a lot of network resources through the members of the winery, and has also accumulated a certain amount of wealth.
"I've heard that Bond has signed long-term contract contracts with more than 60 vineyards in Napa Valley, and these vineyards will become raw material suppliers for Bond Winery.
"I guess that's fine, after all, we've all signed a tight contract. Will Haran is still young after all, and Will Harlan, who had just graduated from college, couldn't help but reply nervously when he heard Li Feng's words.
"Will, do you think you can buy these selected vineyards directly?"
"Ahh John, some of these vineyards are willing to sell, and some are not, but the Napa Valley vineyards are too expensive today, you must know that the vineyard land in the core area of Napa Valley has exceeded $100,000 per acre, even the average area is at least $5 or 60,000, and the slightly better ones are slowly approaching the $100,000 line. ”
"Haha... Doesn't that prove the success of Napa Valley?"
"Yes, this also makes it more expensive to run a wine estate in Napa Valley, and it becomes more difficult to run a winery. ”
"Yes, I have the heart to invest in Napa Valley, and you know that St. Mantuosawa has a wine company, and now the wine company has famous wineries such as Latour in Bordeaux, Henri Jaycastle in Burgundy, Leroy and so on, but in Napa Valley, the United States, my home field is not at all, which is too much of a failure. Li Feng joked.
“…”
……
Hearing Li Feng's words, Will naturally understood the meaning, obviously, St. John Lee, the most well-known super-rich man in California, is now looking at Napa Valley, Li Feng is no better than ordinary rich people, ordinary rich people invest in Napa Valley, just for a simple investment collection, but Li Feng has a wine group.
The liquor group is backed by the famous luxury group San Mandala Sahua, and behind the scenes, it is also relied on by Li Feng's century consortium.
Perhaps, there will be contact with a large number of Napa Valley wineries, which can even change the pattern of the Napa Valley wine industry to a certain extent, after all, the pattern of the wine industry in Napa Valley is basically formed, from wineries to wine merchants to sales networks are basically determined, and Li Feng's San Mantuo Sahua is strong, which will definitely change part of it, after all, Li Feng is also a local force in California, and he is the most not short of money.
"John, I think you can talk to my father, maybe you can have something in common. As the heir of the young Harlan family, Will, who has just graduated from college not long ago, is willing to get in touch with Li Feng, and even thinks in his heart that it would be perfect if he could become a 'family' with St. John Lee, a super-rich man in the United States.
"Oh... Will, do you think I'll pay you to buy some of the vineyards that Bond Winery has contracted for?"
"Really?"
"Of course, you have signed contracts for more than 60 vineyards, if you buy them all, aim for Romanée Conti, learn their way of doing business, select a few top Grand Cru vineyards, and create a large top winery, I'm optimistic about you, Napa Valley needs to have its own 'Romanée Conti', isn't it?"
"John, then I thank you in advance!"
“…”
……
At the same time, in the Harlan Winery, William Harlan, Michelle Rowland, and Robert Parker were also sitting and chatting first, and the topic was inseparable from Li Feng, a super-rich man.
"William, we are also old friends, so I won't be sloppy with you, do you think there is any possibility for St. Mandosawa Group to cooperate with Harlan Winery, I think you should have heard of St. John Lee, a super-rich man in California, he is your 'hometown', he intends to invest in Harlan Winery or even acquire, and fully supports the expansion of Harlan Winery. ”
"Michelle and Parker, you two really brought me a 'surprise', you really deserve to be my 'old friends'?"
"Haha... William, we are really old friends, and we will not let you suffer, I think if Harlan cooperates fully with the St. Mantuo Sahua Group, it will be a win-win situation for both parties.
Our St. Mandosawa Wine Industry can completely open up the situation in Napa Valley and even in the United States, and in the same way, Harlan will completely solve the financial problem, such as those contracted vineyards of Bond Winery, which you have been obsessed with, can go all out to buy. ”
"Well, even if you're all right, but I think that after you take a stake, will Harlan Winery still belong to the Harlan family?"
"Why not, the operation of the winery is still in your hands, John provided two plans, one is that St. Mandosawa directly shares or even acquires the winery, and the second is directly in the form of a merger, the Harlan family can get the shares of the wine company and even the parent company of the group, there are not many such opportunities, how many people want to invest in St. Mandosava Group, you can't get it, think about it!"
"Okay, let's not talk about that, I'll think about it. ”
"OK, no matter what, we're all friends, if we can really work together further, then we'll be a 'family' completely, Parker and I are waiting for you!"
"You..."
“…”
