Chapter 636: Transforming the Winery
The workers of the winery have gathered and are preparing for the arrival of the new owner. Hearing Xiao Ping's opening to dig up all the vines by the roots, everyone's faces showed a look of horror.
For the winery, good grapes are as important as the land, and they are the foundation of good wine. The decision of the new owner to dig up all the vines as soon as he arrived was unbelievable.
An elderly worker looked at the others, stepped forward and said to Xiao Ping, "Sir, my name is Hao Suo, and I am the manager here. Why do you want to dig up all the grapes? These are Cabernet Sauvignon that has been grown for more than 30 years, and it is a pity to dig up all the grapes in Provence!"
At the beginning of Hao Sue, other workers also expressed their dissatisfaction with Xiao Ping's decision. A young man also questioned whether Xiao Ping did not plan to run the winery, but wanted to use the winery's land for other investments.
Even Jessica and Pierre, who came with Xiao Ping, were shocked by his decision, but they didn't want to question his decision in front of anyone else. Jessica gently tugged at Xiao Ping's clothes from behind, asking him to retract his previous decision.
Xiao Ping didn't feel sorry for everyone's doubts, he just waited quietly, and only smiled after everyone's voices gradually stopped: "Everyone, please rest assured, I bought this place to create the most famous red wine brand in the world, this winery will definitely continue to operate, and the scale will expand in the future!"
Xiao Ping's words reassured everyone, since the winery will continue to operate, there is no need to worry about losing your job, so everyone listened quietly to Xiao Ping and continued.
Xiao Ping also has some experience as a boss, and knows how to appease restless workers. Immediately he continued: "If you want to create a famous red wine brand in the world, how can you use ordinary Cabernet Sauvignon varieties? As long as you use the grape varieties I offer, you can surpass Lafite or something to become the best winery!"
listened to Xiao Ping's ambitious words. The workers of the winery looked at each other, wondering whether the new boss had a good pursuit, or whether he didn't know whether the sky was high or good. Château Lafite is one of the world's top five wineries, but it is one of the best in the industry. Xiao Ping's tone of voice when he talked about surpassing Château Lafite was very casual, as if it was as simple as overtaking on the highway, and he was obviously a layman.
However, Jessica and Pierre know Xiao Ping better, and know that he has the ability to turn decay into magic. Since Xiao Ping is so sure that he can surpass Château Lafite, he must be completely sure, and both of them showed excited expressions when they thought of this.
Seeing that the others were still full of suspicion. Jessica cleared her throat and said aloud, "Hello everyone, I'm a reporter for Hell's Kitchen Magazine, Jessica. Please rest assured that the new owner of the winery is very experienced in cultivating crops, and you will not be wrong to listen to him, and the winery will definitely be able to produce first-class red wines in the future. ”
Hell's Kitchen Magazine is indeed famous enough that many of the workers at the winery have heard of it. Jessica's identity as a reporter gave everyone some confidence in Xiao Ping's decision, and everyone hesitated for a moment, but finally decided to do what the new boss said. Anyway, the winery is flat. It's his own business to spoil as much as he wants. Although the workers were a little distressed, there was nothing they could do about it.
It takes a lot of effort to dig up all the vines on 10 hectares of land. Jessica didn't have time to stay here with Xiao Ping, so she decided to fly back to New York the next day.
In the evening of the same day. Xiao Ping and Jessica were on the balcony of the winery's small building, looking down at the vast vineyards in front of them. The workers were busy for a long time, and only a small part of the vines were dug up. So most of the vineyards are still lush. It looks very good.
The winery is surrounded by lavender plantations, which coincides with lavender season. As far as the eye can see, it is a pleasing purple color. A gentle breeze blows, bringing the characteristic aroma of lavender. It adds a bit of romance to the quiet small building.
"The vineyards of Provence are so beautiful!" Jessica took a deep breath of fragrant air, accentuating her already full chest.
Xiao Ping, who was next to him, looked intently at the plump chest of the American chick, and nodded again and again in agreement with her words: "Beautiful, indeed beautiful!"
Jessica was not angry at Xiao Ping for doing this, on the contrary, she was happy that she could fascinate him so much, and smiled at Xiao Ping: "Seriously, you dug up all the grapes, this is a risk, are you really sure that the new grape variety is better than the original?"
"Of course. Speaking of this, Xiao Ping also became serious, and smiled at Jessica and said, "You forgot, I'm a man who is good at creating miracles!"
Recalling that she had seen all kinds of things after meeting Xiao Ping, Jessica was also a lot more relieved, and nodded lightly: "That's right, you have indeed created a lot of miracles, seriously...... Sometimes I feel like you're a miracle in yourself. ”
Looking at Jessica's delicate face, Xiao Ping leaned over and said with a wicked smile: "Do you want to know my miracle thoroughly? You will go back to New York tomorrow, if you want to, you have to seize the opportunity!"
Jessica smiled at Xiao Ping and said, "Of course, I have to know enough tonight!"
Xiao Ping smiled when he heard this, and carried Jessica into the room sideways, so that she could learn more about her miracle.
Both of them know very well that after Jessica returns to New York, they don't know when they will see Lu Dao again next time. So that night, Xiao Ping and Jessica both let go of their bodies and minds to enjoy this time together, while pleasing each other, they also enjoyed each other's warmth.
The next day, Jessica packed her luggage and prepared to go back to New York, and before leaving the winery, she reminded Xiao Ping with some concern: "I hesitated for a few days, and I felt that I should tell you about it." Although it is known as one of the three major delicacies, it is also rejected by animal protectionists, and the cultivation of foie gras is now banned in more and more places. If you're serious about launching this kind of product, think carefully about the negative impact it might have on your brand. ”
Xiao Ping smiled and kissed Jessica's smooth forehead, comforting her with confidence: "Don't worry, I already have a plan." You'll know when the goose farm is built, and even the most radical animal protectionists won't have a problem with the way I raise geese. ”
As Jessica said, she has always believed that Xiao Ping is a man who is good at creating miracles. Since Xiao Ping had been prepared for this, Jessica would no longer take care of it. The American chick got into a taxi and left after a warm and lingering kiss with Xiao Ping.
While Xiao Ping and Jessica were kissing, the workers in the winery were watching. France has always been a romantic country, so not only did everyone not think there was anything wrong with the two of them doing this, but they all had a smile on their faces, and they seemed to appreciate the boss's actions just now.
However, Xiao Ping was not used to being watched by people during kissing, so he felt a little embarrassed, and hurriedly said loudly: "Let's go, let's continue to work!"
For the next few days, Xiao Ping stayed at the winery, digging vines with the workers. Xiao Ping treats people well, does not regard himself as a boss at all, and even works harder than the workers, and soon gets the recognition of others. Although the workers still didn't know much about the new boss's decision to dig up all the vines, everyone felt that at least Xiao Ping was a good person and a good boss.
What everyone didn't know was that Xiao Ping took the opportunity to dig grapevines with everyone, pruned a lot of grape branches and quietly put them into the demon refining pot. His plan is to plant super grapes in the winery to improve the quality of the red wine produced, and the task of cultivating super grapes is naturally entrusted to the demon refining pot.
After a busy few days, the vines were mostly dug up. Xiao Ping has also obtained enough grape branches to start grape propagation.
Because Jessica had already returned to New York, no one came to disturb Xiao Ping at night. That night, he locked the doors and windows, and entered the space of the demon refining pot with a single thought.
From the last evolution to the present, there has been no change in the space of the demon refining pot, but because there is an extra flock of geese, it is inevitable that there will be some noise. However, in Xiao Ping's view, this situation is more satisfying. In the past, the demon refining pot was too quiet, but now it is a little more angry.
Needless to say, the environment in the demon refining pot is very good. The geese set up camp on the meadows by the lake, and when they were hungry they ate the grass on the shore and the aquatic plants in the lake, and when they were thirsty, they had cool and sweet water to drink, and they could swim in the lake and take a rest on the shore, which was more comfortable than on the farm in Mitterrand.
Because of such good living conditions, the characteristics of the high breeding rate of the Lande goose began to manifest. Xiao Ping found that there were many female geese in the grass by the lake who were holding their nests, and it seemed that more geese would be born soon. This made Xiao Ping very satisfied, and it seems that the progress of cultivating foie gras can be much advanced.
Xiao Ping did not bother the mother geese who were hatching eggs, but took the grape branches pruned to a uniform length to the open space near the spring. Xiao Ping spent several nights shoveling all the grass on the land, which was specially used for cuttings to propagate grapes.
Xiao Ping brought a wooden basin in, first went to the spring and filled a small half basin of water, and then poured a few drops of spiritual liquid from the jade bottle into it. Then he soaked the grape branches in the spring water mixed with the spiritual liquid, and carefully inserted them into the open space that had been arranged beforehand.
Although the process may seem simple, the area of the winery is more than ten hectares, so there are a lot of grapes to be cutting, and it naturally takes a long time. Xiao Ping was busy for several hours before he finished cutting all the grape branches. When he left the demon refining pot, he found that the sky outside was already bright.
Xiao Ping hurriedly went to the vineyard and found that the workers had already begun to work, and Pierre was actually working in the crowd. Looking at his friend's busy figure, Xiao Ping suddenly had a very good idea. (To be continued......)
