Chapter 521: Ambition Must Win (For the VIEW Alliance Leader)
Obikang (Hongyanrong) Winery, Bian Xuedao and Pei Tong came together.
In fact, it wasn't Bian Xuedao who thought it was good here, because he didn't even enter the door, so it didn't matter if it was good or not. However, Pei Tong was fascinated by the castle of Hongyanrong Manor, and persuaded Bian Xuedao to "buy a winery here".
The ghost sent Zhu Zhichun to inquire about Pei Tong, and was taken by Pei Tong to Hongyanrong Winery.
The Zhu family has been operating in Europe for many years, accumulating a lot of contacts, and after three turns and two turns, they have connected with the owner of Hongyanrong Winery.
When the other party heard that Zhu Zhichun wanted to buy a winery, he politely refused. However, Zhu Zhichun was not discouraged, but felt that there was something dramatic, because the owner of the winery was not French, but an American family.
Generally speaking, buying a winery in France is relatively troublesome for French owners, because they value brand continuity, family honor, craftsmanship and so on. Trading with them, some trivial things outside of trading can be a headache.
Americans, on the other hand, are pragmatic and pragmatic about money. To put it simply, buying something from an American by throwing money at it has a much greater success rate than buying it from a Frenchman.
Of course, the Americans are shrewd and greedy, and even if Zhu Zhichun can finally convince the other party to agree to sell, it will definitely be a sky-high price.
However, no matter how expensive it is, it is a winery, and it is not the International Space Station, even if it is definitely a premium, there is a range.
Soon, Zhu Zhichun once again conveyed his willingness to sincerely acquire the family that owns the Hongyanrong Winery. At the same time, the Zhu family's network in the United States began to exert force and lobby.
For this acquisition, not only Zhu Zhichun, but also one of his uncles and aunts, as well as two cousins joined in.
This qiē is because after Zhu Zhichun went to Europe, he transmitted the situation of Hongyanrong Winery back to Wutai Mountain. After seeing the message sent back by Zhu Zhichun, Zhu Haishan gave the Zhu family a death order: to acquire Obikang (Hongyanrong) Winery, at any cost!
Out of superstition and worship of Zhu Haishan's decades of layout vision, coupled with the fact that the demand for high-end red wine in the domestic market is indeed awakening, Zhujia's financial machine is running at full speed.
Although the American family insisted on not selling it, the Zhu family still persevered in contacting them.
The offer also rose from $500 million to $800 million, and then to $1 billion. Based on the current exchange rate between the US dollar and the RMB, the price of the Zhu family is close to 8 billion yuan.
What is the concept of $1 billion?
It is equal to the total amount of the world's arms black market trade, which is equal to 45% of the cost of a B-2 bomber. Morocco wants to build Africa's tallest building at 540 meters at a cost of just $1 billion.
What is the concept of 8 billion RMB?
The private jet of a domestic entertainment industry celebrity amazed the media worth 200 million yuan. At the Haitian Feast, the most expensive yacht, the Lohengrin, was worth 300 million yuan. A few years later, Boss Xu, who built the Evergrande dynasty, had a total investment of more than 2 billion yuan in four years.
In other words, even if Château d'Obio is one of the top eight and is a chicken that can lay golden eggs, $1 billion would be enough for it to lay for many years. Generally speaking, the return on investment of a winery is between 3% and 8%, and how many years will it take for a winery to return on its investment if $1 billion is pressed on the winery?
I wish the family to be determined to win the Obikang Winery.
The American family that owns the winery has gone from insisting on not selling to hesitating, after all, such a powerful and sincere buyer is rare.
Whether it is Zhu Haishan or the rest of the Zhu family, they are not shopping mall chicks, and when the time is ripe, their follow-up methods will be displayed one after another.
First, with a check of $1 billion in hand, Zhu Zhichun began to frequently contact other wineries of the same level, and slightly lower wineries. Zhu Zhichun's meaning is obvious, I have taken a fancy to Obikang, but it does not mean that a tree hangs me.
Second, through the secret channel, the news of the acquisition was released, and for a while, the media in various countries heard about it.
The Chinese, French, American, European and even Asian media are all following the acquisition of a top Bordeaux château by a wealthy Chinese family.
The media exploded!
If this deal goes through, it will not only be the first world's top winery to be acquired by Chinese, but also the first in Asia. For a while, the domestic media was excited, the Hong Kong TW media was honored, and the media of other Asian countries paid attention to it at the same time.
The feelings of the French media are the most complicated.
The Eight Estates are the wealth of France, and their cultural symbolism is particularly evident. In fact, the acquisition of eight famous wineries is definitely a big event in France. Historically, one of Château Margaux's overseas acquisitions was blocked by the French government on the grounds of "safeguarding an important cultural heritage".
But this time, the government couldn't stop it.
First of all, the era is different, and international public opinion must be taken into account. Second, Obi Kangzhuang was not originally in the hands of the French, but in the hands of the Americans, and now the Chinese want to buy the winery from the Americans, and the French have little say.
Moreover, in the rising China, the market is so vast that everyone salivates, a winery, and it is not involved in the arms embargo, if it is really stopped, not only the Chinese will ask, but the whole world will ask: Why can Americans buy it, but Chinese can't buy it?
In the eyes of the Chinese, wine sells us, wineries do not sell us, what is the reason? What does this mean?
The anger of the owners of tens of thousands of wineries in France is no joke if they offend a huge wine market that is growing in demand.
The attitude of the American family was finally relaxed, and the negotiation team of the Zhu family divided into two routes, all the way to France to submit the subscription application, and all the way to the United States for detailed consultations.
……
Qihe City.
In an abandoned mine, Xiang Bin waited for more than half an hour, and the person he made an appointment was late.
It was a lean man dressed in ordinary clothes, who first looked at Xiang Bin from a distance for a while, and then walked over to ask for a note for Xiang Bin.
After reading the note, he tore it directly, and without waiting for Xiang Bin to speak, the man took out an imitation May Fourth pistol from his waist and handed it to Xiang Bin.
Xiang Bin took the gun, took the bag off his shoulder and handed it to the man, the man opened the bag and counted the money, pulled the bag up, reached into his pocket, took out 6 bullets and said, "There are only so many." ”
Xiang Bin looked at the bullet and said, "I won't use it." ”
The man held out his hand to him, and handed the gun to Bin.
The man put the bullet into the magazine and asked Xiang Bin, "Have you been in?"
Xiang Bin nodded.
The man asked, "What crime?"
Xiang Bin thought for a while and said, "Financial fraud." ”
The man took the gun, demonstrated it to Xiang Bin a few times, and then withdrew the bullet, separated the bullet, and said to Xiang Bin: "If you want to test the gun, walk another hundred meters inside, otherwise you can hear the sound outside." ”
Without waiting for Xiang Bin to load the bullet into the magazine, the man carried his bag, walked out of the mine, got on a motorcycle, and drove away quickly.
Holding 6 bullets in his hand, Xiang Bin's eyes revealed a sense of madness.
6 rounds ......
That's enough!
Following the man's example, he loaded the bullets into the magazine one by one, opened the safe, and walked towards the depths of the mine with a flashlight.
After a while, there was a muffled "bang" sound in the mine.
It's a real gun!
A gun that kills.
