Chapter 283: A New World? (First Update)
In the roaring fireplace, a French roast lamb has been roasted to a brown crisp, Zhou Yi smiled and smeared the new sauce he had researched on the sheep, and the room was suddenly filled with a burst of fragrance.
The smell is bad, the mutton is delicious, but the smell is unpleasant, even if the chef who has been mutton for a lifetime, he can only make the meat delicious, but the taste is not good, this is the characteristic of mutton, but in Zhou Yi's hands, there is nothing impossible, the smell of mutton that gives the chefs a headache has actually become a kind of aroma under his hands, just smelling it, it can make the Buddha stand unsteady.
Old Sean went to the French National Association of Origin and Names of Origin, Amilion's combat effectiveness is amazing, and the work efficiency is estimated to be higher than the efficiency in bed, and soon after returning to Paris, the news of the failure of the Mermaid Manor's 'exchange' was spread by her as big news, especially her exaggerated description of the 'Traces of the Sky', so that top wineries such as Lafite and Mouton began to pay attention to the Idler Winery, of course, it was only a concern, and the current Idler Winery was only a third-level Idler Winery was far from threatening these overlord-level estates.
Willie worked hard, but it was to help the idler's winery build momentum, old Sean began to act with the blank test paper ready to be handed over to his deceased wife, the third-level winery was promoted to the second level, it is necessary to have both the recommendation of the French National Wine Interprofessional Office and the recognition of the French International Association of Origins and the French International Association of Origin and Designation, the former is not difficult to do, and the bureaucrats and tasters of the interprofessional office who also consider themselves professionals have long wanted to launch a powerful winery, for them, this is the performance.
After successfully getting the recommendation, the elder Sean took another bottle of 'Traces of Heaven', which was easily improved by the upgrade potential points last week, and embarked on a journey to the National Origin Names Research Association. However, if you want to be promoted to a second-class winery, it is useless to just provide a sample wine, at most you can only let the research committee give you a note, and there are restrictions on production scale and sales revenue, such as a production scale of more than 30,000 bottles per year, and more than 20,000 bottles per year in order to reach the access line of a second-class winery. A large-scale second-class winery even produces 150,000 bottles of red wine per year, which is close to half of the first-class wineries such as Lafite and Mouton!
The current annual production of the Idler Winery is about 10,000 bottles. Less than 5,000 bottles are sold, which is 1.5 million francs a year, based on the average selling price of 300 francs for regional wines. If it weren't for the fact that they also sold grapes, and the people in the manor also grew food and livestock to be self-sufficient, I am afraid that dozens of people in the manor would not have enough to eat.
However, there is an exception, the top 50 estates in the wine category at the triennial French Wine & Food Competition will be automatically promoted to the second class of wines, and the top 15 will be automatically promoted to the first class of wineries. As for the top three, it is said that it will be praised and recommended by the French Wine Association throughout the year, and it can be said that no one asks about ten years of winemaking, and it is known to the world in one fell swoop, but this rule is similar to whether there is or not, because the top three of each competition are those overlords who take turns to sit in the village. Which one is not a well-known brand, not to mention recommending, people have to supply limited quantities to all regions of the world every year, let's say Lafite, the annual production capacity is 500,000 to 800,000 bottles, but they only produce 300,000 bottles. Playing hunger sales for you, only three to fifty thousand bottles are supplied in China every year, and as a result, fakes are proliferated, and when you open ten bottles of Lafite in those nightclubs, five pairs must be fake, how bullish is this?
Old Sean just put his bet on Zhou Yi, in his opinion, with Zhou Yi, it is still reliable for the idler's manor to enter the top fifty, and upgrading to a second-level winery is enough to comfort his deceased wife.
"Brother Zhou, are you going to do a big job?"
Liu Wu went out with Xiao Yezi, and in the room was the Zhou family and He Maniac, He Wenxiu, He Wenxiu smiled and filled Zhou Yi with a glass of wine, and sighed: "Your strange skills are really refreshing, I look at the pre-fermenter, but it is a little difficult to operate."
"It's just fresh, it's just groundbreaking, boy Zhou, how did you come up with it?"
He madman is not comparable to David, with his experience and vision, he can see the value of this thing at a glance, but he can't understand what Zhou Yi relies on to measure the standard, so that skilled workers can successfully ferment red wine only by operation, not to mention the long-term storage of oak barrels, but also improve the quality of red wine, this is simply against the sky, you must know that it is not difficult for a person to do this, he can barely do it by experience, but to make a set of tools, so that ordinary winemakers can do it just step by step, this is against the sky in the eyes of He Maniac, only genius can reachγ
"Hehe, I like to ponder"
Zhou Yi glanced at He Madman: "Senior, you came to France this time to participate in the wine and food competition?
"Hehe, what can my old madman do, is to eat and drink, but the French chicken wants to promote fairness, in addition to the French judges in this competition, there are also external judges and public judges, I belong to the foreign invited to play soy sauce, see if there are any geniuses in the French wine industry in recent years, I didn't expect there to be one, but you kid. β
Why bother laughing, took a sip of Zhou Yi's simply improved red wine, frowned and said: "This thing is much worse than your general harmony and green fragrance, you can only make do with Xiao Xiuzi, don't you have something to talk about with Zhou Xiaozi, what are you waiting for, awkwardly like a big girl, my old man looks anxious." β
He Wenxiu, as one of the few foreign restaurants invited to come, was originally a green leaf.
Although the fame of French cuisine is great, it is not as big as red wine, and red wine is easy to export, so this competition is not so much a French wine and food competition as it is another wine fair. It's just that no matter ancient or modern, for example, there is no separation of food, there is a good wine and a food pairing, there are major French wineries to participate, naturally indispensable restaurants, these restaurants are all green leaves, counting on the last big winery to add glory to themselves, it is said that Mouton can be said to be able to judge the self-recommendation letter received during this time.
He Wenxiu walked on the ground in the prime minister's house in his new home, but when he arrived in France, he was a junior brother, and his status was far worse than Louis who was defeated under Zhou Yi that day, if he didn't want to play soy sauce, he had to climb a big winery.
Zhou Yi is the main wine competition this time, and he didn't want to compete with those restaurants, He Wenxiu's self-recommendation is at the right time, Zhou Yi agreed without thinking about it, and when it came to the competition, the signboards of the two families were to be connected together.
Close to the water, He Wenxiu also knew that he took advantage of this rare opportunity, and by the way, he proposed to want the regional chain monopoly of the Zhou Group, that is, the highest agent qualification of the trademark "Linshui Champs" in the Xinjiapi area.
For this request, Zhou Yi did not agree to it. First, the registered trademark of "Linshui Champs" has not yet settled, and the patents for egg fried rice and oily noodles have not yet been obtained; second, he is too lazy to take care of this kind of affairs, professional things to be handled by professionals, he will say hello to Cheng Dong at most, let He Wenxiu talk to him, and be the boss must have the consciousness of being a boss, now Zhou's group has changed to a shareholding system, Zhou Jingjing is the founder, accounting for 30% of the shares, Zhou Yi contributed money and technology, accounting for 40%, the eldest sister and brother-in-law are responsible for the development of the Chinese market. It's his own family again, and he also accounts for one percent, and his parents each occupy one layer, speaking of which, he has been promoted to Zhou ~ Dong, can he still do everything himself?
Seeing that Zhou Yi and He Wenxiu had finished talking about business, He Maniac grabbed the topic just now: "Zhou boy, to tell you the truth, do you still have any wine? Do you sell it or not? Don't tell you, my old man has good wine, and I also have a few old friends who have good wine, so I have to get some for me, otherwise I won't leave, and you will take care of the food for the rest of your life?"
"There is wine, in China, but it is not sold, because it is made less. β
Seeing that He Wenxiu's eyes also lit up, Zhou Yi felt that it was better to make it clear, buying a winery to get some red wine, one is for fun, and the other is for the sake of the family business, and when the business starts, it is the second sister and Cheng Dong's business, and he doesn't want to mix too much, as for the private brewing such as green and green incense and Jiangxianghe, that is to get it to drink, entertain friends or something, but I haven't thought about introducing it to the market, if you want to make money, he has a lot of good things, is it still a big production, so you have to be busy?
"That's it, after the game, I'm going to go back to Huaxia, Xiaoyezi is also going to start school, and then my parents have to go back, go to Yunshui Mountain to recuperate for a period of time, recuperate and recuperate, if you are interested, you are welcome to be a guest. β
Zhou Yi had already planned for a long time, to completely wash the marrow and rejuvenate his parents, so that the second elder could rejuvenate, he still had to use the Jiuyang Lake in Baiquan Valley, and estimated the time, Henry, who was busy with his 'career' in Grand Paris these days, was about to have a moth, the second sister was a strong woman, although she loved Henry, but she could still withstand the pain brought by him before he became a person again, it was difficult for the parents to say, it was better to be out of sight and out of mind, and when they solved Henry's matter, the second elder would come back to see his daughter and son-in-law, and it would be up to them.
"Okay, I don't eat for nothing in vain, boy, I estimate that your wine is good, it should be the first-class food, these things are in the hands of my old man, and they can also make top wine, let's compare, when I make wine, I will find you the world's first wine tasting master, let him taste it." Hehe, don't take it seriously, boy, if this person nods at you, there's a big new world waiting for you!"
He laughed straight at him, but he wasn't crazy or crazy, and it didn't look like bragging.
"What a new world?" Zhou Yi was stunned.
"Hehe, you kid just think about it, I promise you can't come up with a clue"
The old man's face was mysterious, as if he was saying that he wanted to know if he wanted to have good wine to honor my old man
