As the convoy drove into the Sauternes area, the silhouette of the ancient castle of Château d'Gin, perched on a hill, came into view. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

It's the middle of winter in the Bordeaux region, but it's a typical temperate oceanic climate, so you can't see either the snow or the frozen thousands of miles that should be in the middle of winter.

Fu Zhengyi was strange but didn't think too much about Delfina personally leading the convoy to the airport to greet her, and also took on the role of driver, he felt that if there was really any situation, she would definitely take the initiative to say it.

There is not a single trace of green in the vineyards on both sides of the road, and all the vines have been pruned, leaving only the bare trunks.

The motorcade drove into the inner courtyard of the winery, and the old man in traditional French dress took off his hat and saluted, with the slightest hint of imperceptible anger, introducing him as the current general manager of the winery, Count Alexandre.

Led into the room by the maid, Fu Zhengyi asked when he summoned Delfina in. "Why do I think this old man is very unkind? Do you know why?"

"Fu, there's something I need to let you know......"

Opening the south-facing window and taking a deep breath of the air that was not cold, but unusually fresh, unlike Zurich, Fu Zhengyi motioned for Delphine to sit down and speak slowly.

"Fu, I need to confess to you and ask for your forgiveness! Dijin Winery was actually acquired by my father three years ago, and Count Alexander fought a lawsuit with my father for more than two years in order to keep his position as the manager of the winery and maintain the current brewing method, and finally the Count obtained the support of the court, so the winery still needs to make Igan noble rot according to the traditional way of the Count family......

With Delphina's statement, Fu Zhengyi learned that Guo Jianmin of the London fund company was severely tricked by Bernard, the big boss of LV.

Three years ago, Bernard quietly bought more than half of the shares of Dijin Winery from the descendants of the Earl family, but this financial wizard did not immediately make a statement, but wanted to oust Count Alexander, who had inherited Dijin Winery more than 30 years ago, in the form of "indirect shareholding", so that he could implement his expansion plan.

Bernard wanted to change the way the winery makes wine to maximize production, increase the market price of Igan Noble Rot, better control the sales channels to make more profits, and eventually turn Igan Noble Rot into a luxury item among sweet white wines.

As a result, Bernard's plan was strongly opposed by the Earl of Alexander, and the stubborn and extremely stubborn old man had to accept defeat after two years of court battles.

Seeing Fu Zhengyi take out a cigarette, Delfina hurriedly took out a Langsheng lighter and lit it for him, and then continued with an apologetic face. "Fu, my father only spent $100 million to become the majority shareholder of Dijin Winery, and he transferred his shares to you for $460 million without me, and he also cleverly concealed the series of verbal agreements he signed with Count Alexander! I only found out about this after the completion of the equity settlement and the relevant agreements began to take effect, I am very sorry......"

"That means that the $100 million your father invested earned more than $300 million in just three years, and left me a lot of secret agreements with Count Alexander?"

She had been carefully observing his expression, but Delphine could not judge his joy and anger, so she had to tell the truth. "Fu, it's not a secret agreement, it's actually a good thing that the winery continues to maintain the traditional way of management and operation of the Count Alexandre family, if I really let the manager appointed by my father become the general manager of the winery, the quality of Dijin Winery will definitely decline......"

"Does that mean that even if I become the majority shareholder of Digin Winery, I still can't increase the production of Igan's noble rot, change the original brewing method, or even interfere with the operation of the winery?"

"It's not that you can't interfere with the operation of the winery, but as the majority shareholder of Digin Winery, you can't change the tradition of making Igan botryt, but you have the right to set prices, operate the market, and decide whether to cancel the existing distributor after five years......

Basically, he already understood, although Fu Zhengyi didn't show it on his face, he knew that he was in a bad mood.

It's not that he was cheated by Delphina's father for more than 300 million dollars, but he felt that Dijin Winery seemed to be becoming a problem for him, so he thought for a moment and then continued to ask. "And how much do I have to do in this winery?"

"You own 85 percent of the winery, and Count Alexander, who owns only 15 percent of the winery, moved to the northwest corner of the winery three months ago and gave up all the remaining space......"

"No wonder the old man looked bad when we met just now, it turns out that the root cause is here......"

Hearing little Chloe's laughter outside the window, Fu Zhengyi put out the cigarette butt on the ashtray and cast his eyes out the window.

Chloe was running around the sculptural fountain in the inner courtyard, Sophia, who was in a wheelchair, was smiling at her daughter, and Camilla was snuggled in Batisian's arms, looking calm, and she waved her hand at the gaze of this side, as if to signal him to pass over.

"Delphina, your father became the majority shareholder of Dijin Winery three years ago, and obviously gave this winery to you as a gift, but he was obviously a little dissatisfied with this acquisition, so Guo Jianmin became the guy who threw himself into the net and jumped into the pit by himself," Fu Zhengyi saw that she seemed to feel more and more guilty, smiled and continued. "But in business, your father's price is not outrageous, so apart from the fact that the verbal agreement between him and Count Alexander is not public, your father is also blameless, so I can't have any complaints until I communicate with Count Alexander, right?"

Delphine was stunned.

She didn't expect that he didn't care that his father had made high profits by deception, but was a little dissatisfied with the secret agreement between his father and Count Alexander, so he felt more and more ashamed......
