Chapter 506: Wine
Chapter 506 Wine
……
Ma Yun's deep eyes revealed a hint of thought, "The taste of Baiweiju is impeccable, and when it comes to Chinese food, there are few restaurants in the country that can compare." Pen~Fun~Pavilion www.biquge.info but do you think it will be as popular as if it goes abroad? You know, the eating habits of foreign countries are different from ours. ”
"There are more than 40 million ethnic Chinese in 11 countries in Southeast Asia! Of course, this is not the main thing. I don't plan to let Barilla go abroad and still maintain 100% Chinese taste. It will make certain adjustments according to the different dietary habits of each country. You can understand it as 'selling dog meat with a sheep's head', although it is a bit vulgar, but this is the business strategy of Barilla abroad. The skin of Chinese food may be the meat of Thai, Burmese, or Vietnamese food! Coupled with the excellent ingredients provided by Taoyuan Farm, I think Barilla is just as popular as it is at home and abroad!" Wang Zheng said confidently.
"Selling dog meat with a sheep's head?" Ma Yun smiled and nodded, "You described it very appropriately." However, you don't plan to develop Chinese food abroad?"
"Of course, I want to develop, but I will create another high-end Chinese food brand. It will only appear in the bustling CBD malls of big cities, just like the Taoyuan Western food chain in China!"
"Why don't you do that at home?" Ma Yun said in surprise.
"In China, the most high-end Chinese food will only appear in Taoyuan Resort!"
"Is it worth giving up such a large amount of profits for a resort villa? You know, with the current revenue of the Taoyuan Western food chain, this is a huge income of more than 10 billion yuan a year?"
Wang Zheng smiled and did not answer. No matter how big his career is outside, Taoyuan Resort is his real foundation. Whether it is Times Group or the newly established Wharf Holdings, it is all to escort the construction and safety of Taoyuan Villa.
However, this kind of thing is his core secret, not to mention Ma Yun, even Yu Yixue, and even his parents can't tell him.
Seeing that he didn't say anything, Ma Yun wisely didn't ask more!
"Brother, the relationship between us is also close, just tell my brother the truth, how much are you going to value Baiweiju?"
"Since my brother asked so, then I won't be shy about it!" After a pause, Wang Zheng raised three fingers, "30 billion US dollars!"
"What?"
Looking at Ma Yun, who was wide-eyed and had a surprised expression, Wang Zheng smiled, "Brother Ma, I'm not shouting this number!"
"Yes, then I'm listening!" said Ma Yun's words with a hint of unswervingness.
Wang Zheng smiled, "Yum China, I believe Brother Ma is more familiar than me!"
Ma Yun frowned slightly, and nodded undeniably.
In September last year, Ant Financial, a subsidiary of Ma Laoge, and Primavera Capital jointly invested US$460 million to acquire a 4% stake in Yum China. According to this ratio, your valuation of Yum China is $11.5 billion! However, Yum China's revenue in '15 is only $8 billion, while Barilla can generate $9.55 billion in revenue at the end of '16, and it will be even higher in the future! In addition, Yum China's profit is only about $1 billion, and the profit contribution rate is only 12.5%!"
"In contrast, all of Barilla's stores are directly operated, and we can get a higher profit ratio. For example, in the past 15 years, we have created a profit ratio of 30.2%. In other words, at the end of '16, nearly $3.2 billion of the $9.5 billion in revenue was net profit. According to this calculation, Barilla's valuation should be three times that of Yum China, or $34.5 billion! Although the actual situation may be a little different, it will definitely not exceed $4.5 billion. Therefore, the $30 billion valuation I gave to Brother Ma is really not high at all, and it is even already making profits!"
For Yum China, Ma Gong is a strategic investor, and he naturally knows the other party's operating data. But Wang Zheng's valuation of Baiweiju made him hesitate a little. Compared with last year's 50 billion, this guy has more than tripled. Ma Yun couldn't help but regret it, why did he hesitate last year?
Ma Yun did not point out that all of Wang Zheng's data was based on Baiweiju's revenue a year later, not stupid words like now. If you are not optimistic about the future of a company, there is no need to invest at all.
"I need to think about it!" said Ma Yun after a moment of silence.
"Okay! No problem! I'm in the villa around the Chinese New Year!"
Seeing off the hesitant horse luck, Wang Zheng also changed his clothes and walked back to Yingke Valley. Although he spends most of his time outside in the second half of the year, he will occasionally take a few days to go back to the villa to see Yu Yixue, or go to the capital to meet Shen Bing. Therefore, coming back this time is not a new marriage.
"Grandpa, what about Yixue, why didn't I see her in the room?"
After making a lap in his villa and not seeing Yu Yi's snowman, Wang Zheng found Grandpa Yu here.
In the room with floor heating, it was very warm even in winter, and when he came in, Grandpa Yu was playing chess with Wang Zheng's grandfather in the reception room. Hearing this, the old man glanced at him with a smile, "Isn't it almost the New Year? The two old ladies, plus your mother, took Yixue to buy New Year's goods!"
Wang Zheng suddenly!
"By the way, Xiao Wang! This year, our family is going to spend the New Year in your villa, and people will come in a few days, so please help arrange a place to stay!"
"Grandpa Wang, it's simple, I'll let Wang Lei arrange it when the time comes, the villa is so big, how many people can arrange it!"
"Hehe, then I'll be relieved!"
After sitting next to the side and watching the two old men play chess for a while, seeing that the time was close to noon, Wang Zheng and Uncle Zhang Luozhong made lunch. After lunch, Yu Yixue still had no sign of coming back, Wang Zheng made a phone call, and after asking, he learned that people were still shopping in Hanzhong and couldn't come back until the afternoon.
In this case, there is no need for Wang Zheng to wait any longer. Through the elevator of the villa, after coming to the underground, with the help of the more and more perfect underground transportation system, I came to the 'Baixiang Garden' Jujube Flower Valley behind!
Compared with the situation of the surrounding valley where everything is withering and the world is bleak, the jujube flower valley is still a land of abundant water and grass and vigorous vitality. There is a weather controller located underground, and the temperature in the entire Baixiang Garden and more than a dozen valleys is as if it is summer! As soon as Wang Zheng entered, he had to take off all his thick coat and thermal underwear.
Of course, heat is not his biggest concern at the moment.
"If I had known, I should have redeemed the Scenario Shader the last time I got the fourth ring of the museum. With this, there is no need to stop all the helicopter services in the villa!"
Shaking his head, Wang Zheng, who regretted a little in his heart, can only hope for the third ring of the super villa construction task that may be completed at any time.
Now, several conditions for the third ring task have been completed, but the interior decoration of the Xugong Hotel has not yet been completed, and when it is completed, Wang Zheng will be able to get a rich task reward again.
"Roar!"
Simba, who smelled Wang Zheng's scent, jumped out from under the jujube forest next to him, and after a cheerful low roar, he trotted to Wang Zheng's side, and the huge lion's head made an offering on his chest.
When Wang Zheng affectionately touched its fluffy lion's mane, the huge lion also narrowed its egg-sized eyes slightly, and its originally breathtaking face showed a look of enjoyment, and its tall body also lay down in front of Wang Zheng.
"Boss?"
Han Kun, who was driving a small electric car passing by, hurriedly stopped after seeing Wang Zheng.
Nodding, he glanced at the baskets full of jujubes in the back bucket of the electric car, and frowned slightly, "It's this season now, are the jujubes still being sold?"
"In winter, temperate and subtropical fruits are no longer sold, these are picked and ready to be used to make wine! But monkey drunkenness doesn't have this problem. We're going to take advantage of this time to make more wine and reserve it for aging!"
After nodding his head clearly, "By the way, the thing I asked you to study last time, do you have eyebrows now?"
I wanted to talk to the boss, but I saw that you were too busy some time ago, so I didn't bother you!"
"That's right, I'm fine today!Go, take me to see!" Wang Zheng waved his hand with joy.
Han Kun nodded.
"Go play by yourself!"
After patting Simba's head and watching it leave step by step, Wang Zheng got into Han Kun's electric car, and the two of them came to the three valleys together. Then, through the underground connected passage, you enter the Monkey Valley, which is also as warm as spring.
If anything, much of the lodge at this time was still a bleak scene. Under the influence of the 'weather controller', which can influence the rain and temperature within a radius of 100 kilometers through geomagnetic fields, the Monkey Valley is still full of birds and flowers.
Not only can you see frolicking monkeys everywhere in the green woods, but the wind blows low on the shore of the lake in the distance, revealing musk oxen and impalas.
In the area attached to Taoyuan Mountain Villa, there are still few places in the Monkey Valley that can maintain the original scenery for millions of years.
On the left side of the Monkey Valley Passage is the original established winery.
Since the construction of a new distillery in Liuba County, it has been producing only one type of high-quality liquor, 'Hibiscus Drunk', and it has also been responsible for the storage of Hibiscus Drunk and Monkey Drunk aged liquor, as well as the research and development of new sake.
After parking the electric car in the small square in front of the distillery, Han Kun took Wang Zheng into the research and development room of the distillery. Then, from the safe next to him, he took out three labeled beakers.
"Boss, this is the white wine 'Jade Dragon Snow', the red wine 'Zixia', and the distilled wine brandy 'Intoxication' developed according to your request based on the grape plants in the estate!"
After tasting the profits of high-end wine through 'Hibiscus Drunk' and 'Monkey Drunk', Wang Zheng has long been salivating for the most popular high-end wine in the world! Therefore, after the sales of 'Hibiscus Drunk' and 'Monkey Drunk' became regular, he asked Han Kun and other winemakers to start developing high-end wines based on the grapes grown by Taoyuan Villa. Now the results are finally there.
After briefly looking at the three beakers, Wang Zheng chose the leftmost one, then took a goblet from the side, and tasted it after giving himself a little.
"Sweet?"
"Jade Dragon Snow is a semi-sweet taste, and the grape variety used is Riesling!"
nodded clearly, took some water from the water pipe next to him and rinsed his mouth, and then picked up the 'Zixia' poured by Han Kun next to him, the purple-red wine was just as named, Wang Zheng looked at it briefly and put it to his mouth and took a sip. Immediately, a fragrance that belongs to grapes fills the taste buds instantly.
"Not bad!"
Wang Zheng closed his eyes and tasted it, then praised.
Nowadays, he has drunk the top wines such as Lafite and Latour more than once or twice. In contrast, the glass of 'Zixia' red wine in his hand surpasses them in taste.
The final brandy is a spirit, and you can feel a hot stream running down your throat when you take a sip.
"Sure enough, it's 'intoxicating', my stomach feels much hotter!"
Wang Zheng put down his wine glass and smiled.
"It's good that the boss is satisfied!"
