495 to the United States?
For the sake of his future winemaker, Zeng Gong had to go to Sheldon's residence, and although it was immoral to disturb an old man's sleep in the middle of the night, he couldn't care so much about it now. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Mr. Sheldon, I don't know if you have anything to do with it in Canada, especially in Ontario, where my friend went missing at Mileage Winery. There was no politeness, Zeng Gong found Sheldon and immediately told him about Claude's situation.
"Claude?" Sheldon asked after a moment's thought, somewhat uncertain, "is that the guy in charge of winemaking who resigned from Château Romanée-Conti?"
"Do you know him?" Zeng Gong asked excitedly. I didn't expect this guy to be a celebrity, and since Sheldon knew him, it would be much easier.
"An arrogant guy may really have some ability. Sheldon said disapprehantly.
"But I've appointed him head winemaker at my Blue Lotus Ranch, and I'd like Mr. Sheldon to help me find out. Zeng Gong nodded imperceptibly, he didn't care whether Claude was an arrogant person or not, since he dared to bet with himself, he should have some ability, and whether he won or lost, it would not affect the construction of his winery.
"Okay, I'll help you ask. Sheldon nodded, and Zeng Gong spoke, he couldn't refuse at all.
Sheldon's network is all over the United States, even on the Canadian side, he also has a lot of network, after all, Canada and the United States have many similar places, and there are not even any troops stationed on the border, only the police to maintain order, the two countries are exempt from visas, and they can even stay in each other's countries for a short time without any formalities.
Sheldon's network spread quickly, and before Zeng Gong had to wait, news came from Canada that Claude had returned to Europe and was now on the plane.
Have you returned to Europe? Zeng Gong looked at Sheldon with some doubts, thinking that he could learn about the situation from him.
"Zeng, don't look at me, I just know that he has returned to China, as for the reason I don't know, you have to know that my influence in Europe is as great as you think. Sheldon spread his hands, and the game said helplessly.
Zeng Gong nodded, and urgently left Sheldon's residence, Maupassant was still waiting for news in his room, and the situation in Europe still needs to be understood by Maupassant himself.
"Mr. Zeng, how is it, is there any news of Claude?" Seeing Zeng Gong returning, Maupassant hurriedly greeted him and asked eagerly.
"He's back in Europe, no one has been informed, not even the mileage winery, and he's on a plane. Zeng Gong told Maupassant what he had heard from Sheldon.
Why did he go back to Europe? The two said that they were going to Argentina or South Africa, but did something happen in Europe that forced him to rush back?
"Schroeder, is there something wrong with you?" Maupassant frowned and dialed Schroeder, who was far away in Germany.
Schroeder is Claude's younger brother, and he is also his good friend, and he is the only brother who can make Claude rush back to Europe, and they have a good relationship.
"Maupassant?" said Schröder's voice, which sounded a little decadent, and his voice was hoarse: "My brewery has closed down, and now the bank is collecting debts, and my brother is on his way back. ”
Maupassant couldn't help but be surprised, Schröder's brewery is the most prestigious brewery in Leipzig, although the scale is not large, but it is definitely the most popular in the local area, every time the beer brewed is immediately sold out without publicity, how can it suddenly go out of business.
"Are you gambling?" Maupassant suddenly thought of a possibility, and immediately became shocked and angry, and asked solemnly.
"Maupassant, you think so highly of me, don't you know what I'm capable of, and besides, I have no love for gambling at all, except for Cuban cigars and some home-brewed beer. When Schroeder heard this, he immediately complained aggrievedly that because of Maupassant's existence, he did not touch anything related to gambling at all.
Maupassant calmed down and thought about it, Schroeder was still very interested in gambling when they first met, but after being abused by himself, even when he heard about gambling, he was extremely disgusted, but why did this guy suddenly go out of business, and he owed a lot of debt.
"And what is the matter with you?" asked Maupassant, frowning.
"I..." Schroeder really didn't know how to speak, and he was the one who was aggrieved in his heart, and finally sighed and said: "Alas, it's my bad luck, I was calculated by a group of Japanese." ”
It turned out that after Schroeder took over the ancestral property from his brother, although he had no idea of expanding the territory, he only had Shoucheng in his heart and passed on his ancestral business conscientiously, but he didn't expect this kind of thing to happen in his own hands, and he could no longer achieve the glory of his ancestors.
In fact, hundreds of years ago, their brewery was the most prestigious brewery in Europe, but unfortunately, in 1516, Archduke Wilhelm IV of the Duchy of Bavaria issued the German Beer Purity Decree, stipulating that German beer can only be made from four raw materials: barley malt, hops, water and yeast, so in the past 500 years, German beer has become synonymous with the so-called pure beer. However, in 1798, the ban on wheat was lifted, and one of the raw materials for beer brewing was restored.
Unfortunately, even if the status of wheat is restored, the family's brewery will not be as glorious as it once was, even if the beer they brew is very popular. Because the beer brewed by their ancestors is not mellow beer but mixed with some other materials, it is not pure beer at all, so the development has been limited, except for the method of inheritance, other aspects are not worth mentioning at all, originally Schroeder also wanted to move the brewery to France or Belgium to develop, but now it is not needed.
In Schroeder's narration, Maupassant knew, it turned out to be a few small Japan did not know where to get the news, thinking about buying the recipe in Schroeder's hands, but unfortunately this is a inherited thing, how can it be sold, and then these small Japan did not make a plan and made two plans, actually colluded with several brewers to pretend to buy a batch of beer, and signed a contract with Schroeder, so the loan to produce a batch of beer, but these brewers disappeared for no reason, and what is even more terrible is that the health department after a spot check of his beer hygiene standards seriously exceeded the standard, but not only did not make money, but also was seized, fined a sum of money, no way the brewery can only apply for closure。
"Damn the Japanese. Maupassant couldn't help but scold when he heard this, but after a while, he said with concern: "Schroeder, what will you do next?"
"I don't know. Schroeder said bitterly, the brewery is gone, he owes a large loan to the bank, and his brother will face prison if he can't do it.
"How about coming to America?" Maupassant said suddenly. (To be continued.) )
