The third-class winery that Anrowan mentioned does not look very big, there is a castle, but it looks dilapidated, and it needs to be overhauled, and the owner of this winery is indeed very young, only twenty-seven years old this year. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Mr. Lin, although our winery is a little dilapidated, we are a veteran winery with more than 250 years of inheritance, and we are not even inferior to the five major wineries in terms of inheritance time!"

The young boss really didn't seem to want his winery anymore, and after hearing An Luowen say that Lin Quan was the person he introduced to see the winery, his attitude towards Lin Quan instantly changed dramatically, and he treated Lin Quan like his god.

"Well, you have been passing on the tradition for a long time, but it doesn't seem to be of much use, right? Our main focus is on the farm, not on winemaking, which is just a side business for us. ”

Lin Quan was afraid that he would ask for a price with his long history, so he immediately gave him a precautionary shot, saying that he didn't really want to buy this winery.

Lin Quan's words seem to be true or false, he really didn't come to buy the winery, but only after he came to know that the industry is currently in a recession, so many people are in a hurry to sell, so they came to take a look, if the price is right, he may not be able to buy it, but if the other party asks for a price, he can not buy it at all, just pat his ass and leave, anyway, it is not a necessity, whether to buy it or not depends on the mood.

"Mr. Lin, you misunderstood, I am not raising the price, but telling you that the brand of our château has a relatively large influence outside, and in this area of Bordeaux, there are very few wineries that have made wine for more than ours, even if you take it as an investment, you will not suffer a loss if you make a sale in the future. ”

Hans hurriedly explained that the 27-year-old owner of the winery is named Hans, and his dream is to go to Silicon Valley in the United States to pursue a stage that can realize the value of his life, and he has no interest in winemaking, although the Bordeaux region is like spring all year round, the climate is warm and peaceful, and it is a very suitable place to live, but he has no good feelings about it, the main reason is that because he has lived in the United States for a long time, and he studied in the United States, so he has a better impression of the United States, and if he is not the only heir of the winery, he will not come back to inherit this business。

However, Hans's luck was apparently bad, as the subprime mortgage crisis had already erupted before he returned to France, and Europe was soon affected, and the wine industry was greatly affected.

The wine industry is not affected the most, not the top five wineries, who only need to reduce production and rely on a near-monopoly of high-end wines to survive this crisis, and the bottom wineries are not greatly affected, because their products are already very low-end, the market demand is relatively large, although there is also a decline in sales, but it is not serious.

As for the wineries that are caught in the middle, it is very tragic, their products are more than the upper than the low, and they are the wineries with the most serious decline in sales in the market.

In more than two years, the winery named Girard has completely declined, and even if Hans tried his best when the winery fell, it was to no avail, which made him once again sure that he really did not belong to this industry, and he did nothing for this industry.

That's why Ann Rowan said before that he wasn't fit to stay here.

"Well, in that case, I can consider it, but I don't know much about your winery, so it's best to let me visit and see the strength of your winery, and let someone show me around, so that I can make a better judgment, Mr. Hans, do you think this is okay?"

The other party was in a hurry to make a move, Lin Quan's attitude was vague, this deal could be done, but it was estimated that there would be differences in price, so Lin Quan wanted to make the most comprehensive plan and learn more about this winery, and then he could judge whether it was suitable for acquisition.

"Of course, no problem, I'll take you around!"

Hans's winery had no butlers, and he was still very young, so he took care of this kind of thing himself.

So he quickly drove an open-top sports car out of the garage and took Lin Quan and Denise around the winery for a slow walk.

The Girard winery is not very large, with an area of only about 110 acres, including a dilapidated castle, 100 acres of land, a winery and an underground cellar.

In its heyday, there were as many as 80 workers working here, but now the number of workers here has been repeatedly reduced, and the number of people is still about 20, and the main burden of the winery is the wages of these 20 people.

Lin Quan calculated that the wages of these twenty workers would exceed 800,000 US dollars a year, and the winery's annual income under the current situation may not be so much, so if he wants to take over the winery, layoffs are imperative.

The castle of Girard Winery is too dilapidated, this castle is still relatively majestic from a distance, but after getting closer, it feels very unreliable, this is about to become a dangerous house, if you want to buy it, this thing cannot live in it, otherwise there will be a danger to life.

It is estimated that it will cost another amount of money to repair this castle, so Lin Quan quickly made a judgment that this winery is not worth buying, unless Hans can give a very low price and agree to Lin Quan's layoffs, otherwise he will basically not make a move.

Lin Quan only had $1 million on him when he set off, and if he was in normal times, one million dollars said to buy a winery, and no one would believe it, but at this time, Lin Quan felt that if someone came out with one million to buy this winery, then his head must have been kicked by a donkey, and his eyes must have been blind.

"There are some troubles about layoffs, Mr. Lin, you may not know, in our France, the power of workers' associations is very strong, these workers in my winery are members of the union, so it is very difficult to dismiss them, and these people are carefully selected by me, they are very good at business, I eliminated them from 80 workers, if you keep them, it will be easier for the winery to expand in the future. ”

Hans couldn't bear to lay off so many people, these were workers who had dedicated their youth to his winery for many years, many of whom had worked in their winery when he was a child, so it was difficult to erase the feelings, and the ability of these people was indeed very good, and it would be a pity to cut them.
