Chapter 144: The asking price is 500,000!

"Mr. Hans, I know what you said, but according to the data you gave before, it is easy to judge that if the winery hires so many people, it will continue to lose money, I am not intolerant of losses, but I think it is better not to have some unnecessary manpower, so that the winery will not die completely.

"And I think before I came, there must have been other buyers who came to ask for the price, and they came to see it, and the reason why they didn't buy your winery must be unavoidable!"

Lin Quan is now bargaining with Hans with the mentality of whether to buy or not to buy, if the price can be lowered, then he can still consider buying here.

"Mr. Lin, you are right, it is true that several buyers have been missed for this reason, but I have no regrets, because these workers are all people with families, and their families are counting on their wages to support them, and the current employment environment is not so good, the whole wine industry is laying off employees, and they have no other skills, if I lay them off, then their families will lose a large source of income, and some will even be the only source of income, So please forgive me for not being able to do such a thing! ”

Lin Quan didn't expect that Hans would actually think like this, so to speak, he was still very humane to his employees.

"Well, then we'll have to give up!"

Lin Quan shook his head with regret, looking at the dilapidated appearance of his winery, it should be relatively simple to recruit people from his side, after all, he himself said that many people were laid off before, and now the employment situation in the whole environment is not good.

"Mr. Lin, please wait a minute, I haven't given my offer yet, do you want to listen to my offer before leaving?"

Hans seemed to be in a hurry and called out to Lin Quan and Denise.

"Mr. Hans, please speak!"

Lin Quan was a little surprised, in fact, when Hans didn't agree to his condition, he already felt that there was no need to ask the price, because he couldn't afford to run it if he bought it, and he would definitely lose money, and this business was not good for him.

"I found a partner in Silicon Valley, we have a project in hand, and there is still about $500,000 in funding shortfall, if Mr. Lin is willing to provide $500,000, I think I can sell this farm to you!"

500,000 USD!

Lin Quan and Denise glanced at each other, the price was not too high, but too low.

Such a large vineyard, plus a number of equipment and a castle, the value of these lands is more than 500,000 US dollars, French land has no expiration date, this is a freehold property, and Hans's winery also has a wine industry certification, grade certificate and a major related certificate, they also have more than 200 years of brand history, the value of this brand can also be worth a lot of money, so the price quoted by Hans is really a bit low.

Lin Quan used to think that $1 million was not worth buying, but now Hans has directly doubled the price, so that the price has the value of investment.

"Mr. Hans, I am very interested in your previous offer, and I would like to ask, may I ask what your previous offer was?"

Of course, it is a good thing for the buyer to buy something cheap, but it would be even more pleasant if you could let them know the original price of the thing, and let them know how much they have saved.

"Before you came, I made an offer of $1.5 million for other buyers!"

One and a half million? Lin Quan nodded, no wonder he didn't sell it, the price of 1.5 million was too high, he had heard in Porto that one of the five major wineries, Château Latour, was ready to be sold at a price of 200 million euros, although the price difference between the two was 100 times, but Hotel Latour was one of the five major wineries, their assets were more abundant, their vineyard area and location were the best, and all kinds of winemaking equipment were also the top.

In addition, as one of the five major wineries, they have a greater international reputation and a higher brand value, and some people have estimated that if it was before the 08 financial crisis, the brand value of Château Latour would be more than 200 million euros, so this investment is absolutely cost-effective. And Château Latour's channels are far from being comparable to a third-class winery like Girard, plus they are a top winery, so they also have bargaining power, which can also bring them a huge income every year.

Château Latour had been losing money for two consecutive years, so their investors were pessimistic about the prospects of the wine market, so they made the decision to sell.

The price of a top winery will be more than ten times higher than that of a second-class winery, and the price of a second-class winery will be more than ten times higher than that of a third-class winery.

If it was before the financial crisis, it would have been okay to think like this, but after the financial crisis, their assets have shrunk, and the valuation of Château Girard has naturally dropped a lot.

"Now is the time to short Europe!" Lin Quan sighed in his heart.

Europe's economy has fallen into a trough, the whole society has depreciated, a large number of assets have been sold at a reduced price and no one wants, hotels, shops, office buildings, car factories, yacht factories, airports, wineries, football clubs, etc., as long as they can be sold, have been pushed to the shelves at this time, and those tyrants in the Middle East who make money by selling oil have seized the opportunity at this time to enter Europe in a big way, taking advantage of this opportunity to purchase a lot of things in Europe.

And if he had so much money, he would not have bought this winery in the countryside of Bordeaux at this time, but rushed into the bustling shopping streets of London with a check to buy it!

"Hehe, no wonder you couldn't sell it before, I'm afraid that the price of 1.5 million will scare many people away just by saying it!"

Lin Quan said jokingly, Hans also laughed, and said: "Actually, although the price is relatively high, but I am still reluctant to sell, if it is not for my own lack of ability, I would prefer that this winery can be preserved, rather than sold to the outside world, but if Mr. Lin you are sure to buy, I hope you can fulfill your promise to ensure that these workers have a job!" ”

Hans already knew that Lin Quan was tempted and had even decided to buy his winery, so he reminded Lin Quan at this time, which shows that he really cares about those workers.
