Chapter 107: The Thief (Something to Go Out, Chapter for the Time Being)
On the way out of Wilton, Jessica grinned and asked, "Would you like to go to my mother's winery for a drink?" or would you rather go to Elk Grove's bar? β
Link didn't answer, just smiled and said, "I thought you'd be angry?"
"Why are you angry? because of the negotiation?" Jessica said with a giggle. "Business is business. And the negotiations are over, aren't they?"
"It was the negotiation that made the deal!" corrected Link.
"Yes, yes! We made an agreement. So we need to have a drink to celebrate. She looked at the car and said. "You don't fucking look like a rich man. Rich people shouldn't have eight or five years of Bordeaux hidden in their cars!"
Link smiled and said, "For me, there's no difference between a regular California wine in '20 and a Bordeaux in '85." If you want to drink, you can find it anywhere. β
"I thought you were a pickler master. Jessica gave him a wink. "I didn't expect you to be so boring. Those female celebrities like men with elegant taste. Although they may not understand what elegance is. β
Link laughed and said, "So I'm still single!, but maybe I should really memorize some information about wine." Maybe then I'll catch a female star. β
"You really need to. I don't know how many wines your other two wineries will produce, but I don't think less. And Ozette more. If you're not a winemaker who is proficient in red wine, I think that's going to make the market worried. β
"I'll consider your suggestion. Link still smiled.
"So, can we sign an agreement to provide pest control services to your winery?"
Link was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "It turns out that this is just business!"
Jessica smiled, pulled the hair that had slipped back behind her ear and said, "It's just a part of it." But I thought you forgot. You know, I've done my experiments, and you're happy with the results. β
"Yes, I am satisfied with the result. Link nodded. "I'll make a deal with you. β
"Of course you will. 75% of the proceeds of this business belong to you. You're just putting money from one pocket to another. β
Link said with a smile, "But there was a heavy tax in the middle. β
"Paying taxes and dying is something Americans can't avoid. Isn't it?"
Link smiled and said, "Okay, to celebrate that we're going to sign an agreement, I'll treat you to a drink!"
"I'll invite you. I think the wines at my mom's winery are better than those from other places. β
Mother Jessica's winery is also located in the small town of Wilton. Sandwiched between two small rivers, the winery is called ChΓ’teau Vignya.
Jessica showed the way, and soon crossed a small bridge over the creek and entered the estate. It is a manor house in the style of a French winery.
Jessica had called on the way, and when the car entered the manor, a middle-aged blonde was already waiting.
Jessica hugged the woman as soon as she got out of the car.
When Link got out of the car, he apologized and said, "I'm Link Hans." I was so presumptuous to visit, Mrs. Benis. β
Jessica smiled and said, "Mom, Daddy made a deal with Link, and I made a deal with him. So I suggested that he celebrate with a glass. However, I thought my mother's wine was better, so I suggested coming here. However, he didn't have a gift for him, so I had to say that he wanted to visit. β
Mrs. Benis stroked her daughter's hair, and said with a smile, "It is indeed worth celebrating! It's a little warmer inside. β
Link nodded and said, "Thank you, Mrs. Benis." I do want to visit your winery though. You know, I also grow some grapes!"
"Yes. I've heard Jesse say that. You have three farms, all of which grow large tracts of wine grapes. β
Jessica then said, "Yes, the planting area is very large. It's unbelievably big. And he also plans to expand to 50,000 acres at Ozette Farm. β
"Oh, that's amazing. That increased the U.S. grape acreage by more than 10 percent. β
"In fact, I'm only going to increase the U.S. grape acreage by about 5 percent," Link laughs. β
"Have you changed your mind?"
Link smiled and nodded, "Yes." I'm worried about the wine, I can't finish it!"
Mrs. Benis laughed and said, "When I heard of your plan, I was very worried that my wine would be unsalable. She was joking, of course. Wine is a thing that pays more attention to the brand. A wine brand with stable sales usually has a steady stream of customers. And Vignya Winery is not big, and the wine produced in a year is only 30,000 or 40,000 bottles, how can it be affected because of Link's wine.
As she walked, she said, "I heard you invited Albert Anthony as a winemaker. It was an excellent winemaking guide. I'm looking forward to the wines from your winery. β
Link nodded and said, "Yes, I'm honored that Albert accepted my invitation. I'm also looking forward to the wine that is being fermented in the cellar. However, they will take at least eight months to taste. β
"Maybe I'll mail order a tasting. Jessica interjected. "Albert was really handsome when he made wine! By the way, Mom, I got Albert's autograph. β
They said as they entered the villa of the manor. Mrs. Benis took a bottle of champagne and said, "This is the champagne from Vignya '04." It was a perfect year for the climate, so it was the best champagne my house has ever made since entering the 21st century. β
Link took a sip, but he couldn't really taste the good, just smiled and said truthfully, "Well, I have to admit that I don't know how to taste wine, but I feel a very warm warmth." β
But Mrs. Benis did laugh when she heard him, and said, "I think you have a good taste buds." β
Jessica hugged Mrs. Benis's arm and smiled, "This champagne was made by my mother on her seventh wedding anniversary." So it's really warm. β
Link didn't expect that he had inadvertently slapped the sycophants.
Perhaps because of this, Mrs. Benis was so enthusiastic about Link that she asked Jessica to show him around the winery. He was also invited to stay for dinner.
After dinner, Jessica did not stay at Winery Vignia. It turned out that she was staying in Sacramento, and Link wouldn't be in a hurry tonight to book a hotel in Sacramento.
Once in Sacramento, Link plans to let the car take Jessica home first.
Jessica proposed, "I live near Sacramento State University. There are many bars nearby, and there are often a lot of student babes in them. There are also quite a few female students from Asia. She said with an ambiguous expression.
Link smiled and said, "Is this an invitation?"
"If you think so, then forget it. β
"I'm not drinking well or drinking!"
"I'm not going to pour you wine. Jessica laughed. "I guess I'm not interested in you. At least that's for now. So you can rest assured!"
Link shook his head with a wry smile and said, "I'm just going to be sad." You're going to lose my confidence when you say that. β
"Haha, forget it. Dude, you can drive a sports car to the university gate tomorrow, open the car door, and put a bottle of water in it. It doesn't take you five minutes to come back and you'll find that there's an extra hottie in the car drinking that bottle of water. And she'll tell you she's thirsty. She blinked and said. "Maybe that will make you feel more confident. β
"I prefer to conquer girls who ignore my handsome looks and amazing wealth. Link laughed. "I think you're that kind of person. β
"I? maybe. But I think the bigger reason for rejecting you is because you're a man. β
"Oh my God!" Link smiled and stroked his forehead. "You are blaspheming against God. God created you as a beautiful girl, and you are going to go and cheapen those women?"
Jessica shook her finger and said, "No, no! If God had thought it right for men and women to be together, He would not have punished Adam and Eve for stealing apples." So I think God's view of sexuality: how can you fall in love if the genders are different?"
"Even though that will affect my welfare, how can I think what you're saying makes sense?" Link said with a laugh. "I think God will give you a dream tonight. β
Jessica winked and said, "yes, maybe he'll make me his spokesperson, about sex." β
"So, you like women, my God!"
"I certainly don't hate women. But I didn't say I was lace!"
"But you don't like men. β
"I don't like men who always stare at my chest. She said with a smirk. "Like you. β
Link said embarrassedly, "I didn't expect you to keep an eye on me. He really couldn't help but look at the hills that the thick clothes on her chest couldn't hide. "But I swear, I just glanced at it when I couldn't help it, and definitely didn't stare at it. β
Jessica said with a smile. "It's fine. In fact, being looked at by men, although it makes me unhappy, it doesn't make me feel uncomfortable. It's just that every time a man looks at my chest, it hurts me a lot. Isn't my face pretty, why don't they always look at my face?"
Link smirked and said, "Including women?"
"Yes, their jealous gaze wants to burn through my breasts. β
"That's true...... It's three-dimensional, like a perfect work of art. β
Jessica rolled her eyes, "Thank you for the compliment." But, I think my face is the same. β
A beautiful woman, even if she does anything, will make people feel that she has a special sense of beauty, especially a man will feel that way. Link took the roll of her eyes calmly and said with a smile, "I appreciate your self-confidence!"
"Hey, man. Can you find any blemishes on my face?"
Jessica brought her face in front of him, showed a perfect smile, and whispered, "Isn't it very flowery?"
He didn't know if it was the god of flowers, but he seemed to really smell the fragrance of flowers, and there was a faint aroma of wine. He smirked his head forward and stuck out his tongue. His tongue touched a pair of lips, and it was very soft, and sure enough, as he thought, it tasted better than jelly.
Jessica's face flushed, and she stepped back abruptly, covering her mouth with wide eyes, and muttered, "Damn! β
