329. Buy the winery
There are six large and small hot air balloon companies in Hunter Valley.
There are various names, such as Custer's called "Hot Air Balloon Liftoff", and there are also called "Happy Hot Air Balloon", and some homes are more simply called "Hot Air Balloon".
This thing has one of the most classic ways to play, and that is to watch the sunrise. Many tourists arrive early in the morning to take the first hot air balloon to the sky to watch the sunrise over the Hunter Valley.
It feels nice to skim over this fertile land from the air, an absolute God's perspective.
Emperor Wu discovered that Custer's hot air balloon was bigger than the others.
Uncle Custer explained that he liked all the big things, and he ordered the large ones when he made them.
What would Emperor Wu think of his wife like, and it was also very big?
Jokes are jokes, and business still has to be discussed.
Mr. Custer knew what the three men were coming for, and on the phone, the manager had already told him.
Custer has a strong desire to sell, but he still doesn't rush to drink, and he knows the real value of his winery.
Emperor Wu felt that he was a bit of a waiter and sell, and he had to take it quickly, otherwise it would be easy to be raised from the ground.
There were five people in the hot air balloon, Wu Di and Mr. Custer sat opposite each other, the old lady and Kaibi were busy taking pictures on the side, and the other was a young operator, who knew that the gray-haired old man was the boss, so he looked very reserved.
The two just sat and drank and chatted, not going straight to the topic, and Emperor Wu figured out the psychology of the media tycoon in his heart.
Interestingly, Castel is currently in debt and would like to cash in on the estate sooner, but he wants to sell for more than an uninvited buyer.
"Mr. Wu, I have heard about your experience, and it is not easy to develop a small ranch to the point where it is today. Custer raised his glass and asked Emperor Wu, "Do you know what they say about you in my circle?"
Emperor Wu was intrigued by this question, and he was curious to know what kind of role he played in the eyes of others.
Custer smiled, "Eagle-like gaze, cheetah-like swiftness." ”
He explained that Emperor Wu spent half a year talking about the first-class Nanao ranch, and he never missed every shot.
"There are not many people in this land who can be admired by King Carney, and he is willing to help you. ”
"Do you know Mr. von Carney?" Emperor Wu admired the old man with the long chin more and more.
"Not only do you know, he is simply the god of this area. ”
The gray-haired old man Ka revealed his true feelings, and Emperor Wu thought that there must have been many stories before, otherwise it would be impossible for so many people to revere him just by virtue of his identity as a descendant of Habsburg.
Always talking about inconsequential topics, Emperor Wu knew something about Mr. Custer.
When the winery was finally transferred, the two were already acquainted.
After taking more than 100 photos, the old lady and Kaibian gave birth and sat on both sides of the table with a smiling face.
Mr Custer offered a price of $7 million, which is much more expensive than the buyer's farm.
"Young man, you must understand that my winery is located in the Hunter's Valley, which is rich in high-quality grapes in Australia..... "Uncle Ka began to boast about half a bottle of wine.
Emperor Wu understands, why didn't he talk much before, it turned out that he hadn't drunk enough wine, and he thought that the old man was a stuffy gourd.
Compared to the wineries in France, his sale of 7 million Australian dollars is quite decent, a little high, but not excessive.
In addition to its superior geographical location, Circa1876 Winery also has its brand value, and the signboard alone can sell for two million, a century-old brand, and is well-known in the Australian wine industry.
In recent years, there have been many Chinese people who have invested in French wineries, such as Zhao Wei, but they are playing a big deal, and they will throw hundreds of millions of dollars if they don't agree.
Most Chinese people buy small wineries for millions of dollars. Over there, the price is calculated by area, how much per hectare.
The ordinary wineries of Bordeaux in France are tens of thousands of euros a hectare, the good ones are hundreds of thousands, and the top ones have a million euros a hectare of land.
Compared to the expensive land, the buildings above are simply given for nothing.
Emperor Wu thought slightly in his heart, when he took over the Nanao ranch, it was only worth 400,000 Australian dollars, and it cost more than one million to buy the distant ranch, and the price of the grizzly bear farm was about the same, and this slippery asset was not as valuable as the winery.
But it's good that we are Chinese, and there is still a basis for bargaining.
Emperor Wu relied on his three-inch incorruptible tongue to talk about the price to 6.98 million, don't paint zero, as long as six or nine eight, the top winery will take it home!
Don't underestimate the 20,000 yuan saved, which is equivalent to more than 100,000 yuan, and the money to eat and drink with the old lady and the little lady is there.
Australian wines are not as well-known as France, but they are also in their own right. To be honest, the price of wine is fluctuating now, there is no unified quotation in any industry, and there is no price for how much it is sold, all depending on the brand.
"Made in Australia's Hunter Valley", this label is still very marketable at present.
Of course, the $6.98 million bought not only the winery, but also the "liftoff" hot air balloon company.
Mr. Custer, an Australian-American, decided to abandon all his assets in Oceania and return to the United States to join his old friend Murdoch.
Speaking of media magnate Murdoch, he and Custer are very good personal friends.
Murdoch was born on a farm 30 miles south of Melbourne, while Custer, who was born twenty years later, was also born in the Melbourne countryside.
This relationship led the two to become friends in the nineties.
At this time, the hot air balloon was floating in the air, and the entire Hunter Valley was walking underneath. In the distance, the river meanders and feeds countless plantations.
Custer immediately took out his phone and sent it to his lawyer, asking him to help prepare the agreement to transfer the winery.
It won't be long before Emperor Wu will own the entire stake in Circa1876.
After taking over, Emperor Wu did not intend to disrupt the current trajectory of the winery, believing that the operation of the winery was healthy and did not need to be interfered with.
And all the original employees are retained, and the salary is appropriately raised, so that the big guy understands the determination of the new boss.
"Wu, you are a rare business genius, and I am glad that I am not in the same industry as you. Custer smoked his cigar, and the smoke rings drifted through the air behind him.
"Mr. Custer, we have a saying in China that plans are not as fast as change, and maybe one day we will become competitors. Emperor Wu said with a smile.
Custer suddenly said meaningfully: "That's right, half a year ago, Stanley would definitely not have expected that his wishful thinking would be disrupted by a young man. ”
"Do you know Stanley, too?" asked Emperor Wu.
"House Estate has their own winery, right inside the estate. ”
After he said this, Emperor Wu remembered that the secondary industry of House Manor was winemaking, and as an opponent, Karst had more or less fought against them.
"Stanley is a very aggressive guy, I used to be cautious, but ten minutes ago, I got rid of this difficult guy. ”
Emperor Wu was thinking, what is Stanley doing now? He is entangled in lawsuits and is annoyed? The owner of the lilac ranch is at odds with him, and I am afraid that he has already begun to make trouble.
