【Chapter 1194】 No. 2 Winery (Subscription Requested!)

As the huge convoy drove out of downtown Los Angeles from Neverland, a large number of media vans followed. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Everyone knows that after the winemaking of the 'Dream Winery' is over, the next step is the start of the 'No. 2 Château' and the start of the tourism festival.

Xiao Feng has already announced on his neck that he will take his family to Napa Valley for the weekend to enjoy the beautiful scenery of Highway 1, which naturally attracted the attention of the media.

The convoy consisted of several bulletproof Audi Q7s, two extended RVs and a supply vehicle, which meant that Xiao Feng and his family would spend a long day on Highway 1, how could they not excite reporters.

You must know that Xiao Feng lives in a shallow way most of the time, and there are not many opportunities to appear in public.

Especially now that it is close to the end of November, the rich lists of major financial media are about to be released, and the news value of Xiao Feng, the 'richest man in China', has further increased in the eyes of media reporters.

Seeing Xiao Feng's family traveling, these media reporters are not like flies that smell fishy?

It's a pity that these reporters are destined to be disappointed, because when all the reporters are rushing to catch up with the convoy, 'Neverland' leaves another convoy and quietly heads to the Los Angeles airport.

…………

The back convoy was Xiao Feng's family, and Xiao Feng successfully performed a trick to get rid of the golden cicada and successfully avoided the media reporters.

Highway 1 from Los Angeles to San Francisco is on the right, and the best scenery is from north to south, so you can get up close and personal with the Pacific Ocean and the Rocky Mountains.

Therefore, after discussion, the convoy in charge of the road trip believed that it would set off for Napa Valley, and Xiao Feng's family boarded the 'Nini' and flew to Napa Valley.

It's only a few hundred kilometers from Los Angeles to San Francisco, which is quite a long distance for many ordinary people, because they are busy with trivial things every day and don't have as much time and mind to travel.

But for Xiao Feng and others, the time it takes to get from 'Neverland' to Los Angeles Airport is even longer than the flight time from Los Angeles to Napa Valley, and the traffic jam in the city is not immune to even Los Angeles.

It's only Friday morning, and there are still a lot of white-collar workers who commute by car, and by the end of the week, the highways near Los Angeles and Silicon Valley are all family cars for vacations, and the scene will be even more lively at that time.

It only took an hour for Nini to land smoothly at the airfield of Napa Valley's 'Chryo No. 2'!

At present, in addition to the two private jets of 'Nini' and 'Mengyao' in the United States, Xiao Qiang also purchased a G650 as a means of transportation, plus many wealthy people who like to come to the 'No. 2 Winery' for vacation, it is reasonable for the 'No. 2 Winery' to build an airport.

Of course, this airport is not the same as the aviation hub in Ginkgo Village, except that it can take off and land small planes, with only a tower, an underground oil depot and a hangar, and the rest of the place is unobstructed.

After the plane landed, Xiao Feng saw Xiao Qiang's family and Yang Yuanhang's family waiting on the edge of the runway, and Xiao Xin and Yang Shen, the two children, saw Nini's sister get off the plane, and they jumped with excitement.

For the children of the family and the group's high-level leaders, Nini's eldest sister is the leader of all the children together with Ding Dang and Tongtong, but whenever the children are together, they are the core.

"It's hard work this time!" Xiao Feng and Yang Yuanhang hugged and shook hands with Jin Lijuan to thank them!

Although they have known each other for nearly ten years, Xiao Feng and Yang Yuanhang are already as close as brothers, Xiao Feng is still a little embarrassed by his hand-shaking behavior.

Today, Yang Yuanhang is the Senior Vice President of Mirror Lake Group and the Executive President of North America Affairs of Brilliant Travel Group, specializing in the tourism affairs of Chinese tourists to the United States.

In the first three quarters of this year, 'Brilliant Travel Agency' received a total of 600,000 Chinese tourists to the United States, becoming the largest tourist organization in the country.

These 600,000 tourists have brought more than US$4 billion in revenue and close to US$1 billion in net profit for 'Brilliant Travel Group', making 'Brilliant Travel Group' another high-quality asset under Xiao Feng's name and very popular in the capital market.

Recently, the IPO of 'Brilliant Travel Group' is in full swing on the NASDAQ in the United States, and Yang Yuanhang, as the main person in charge, is also very busy.

Some financial experts pointed out that the 'Brilliant Travel Group', which occupies the majority of the market share of the two major tourism markets of Chinese tourists to Europe and tourists to the United States, is expected to achieve a net profit of US$2 billion in 2018, and its listing prospects on the NASDAQ are unanimously optimistic.

'Brilliant Travel' will be listed on the NASDAQ in the United States during the Spring Festival in 2019, and publicly raise 300 million shares from the public, accounting for 30% of the total share capital. At present, major investment banks, including ********, have offered an issue price of 30 yuan per share for 'Brilliant Tourism', and the valuation of 'Brilliant Tourism' is 30 billion US dollars.

This is only a conservative estimate, many financial media are predicting that the stock price of 'Brilliant Travel' will increase by more than 20% on the day of its listing, and the valuation of the entire group will not be less than $35 billion.

Before the public listing, a huge part of the shares of 'Brilliant Tourism' were concentrated in the hands of Xiao Feng and the Bai family in Beiping, and only some scattered shares were held by a small number of individuals and institutions.

This time, Xiao Feng took out 20% and the Bai family took out 10% of the shares to be listed on the NASDAQ, which can not only cash out, but also introduce more investors and institutions to further enhance the international influence of 'Brilliant Tourism'.

However, even so, Xiao Feng still owns 40% of the shares, is the largest shareholder of the group, and he and the 20% in the hands of the Bai family can still firmly control the 'Brilliant Tourism'.

Besides, with the status of Xiao Feng and the Bai family, as long as great changes do not occur, the development of 'Brilliant Tourism' will be smooth!

After the listing of 'Brilliant Travel', Xiao Feng's personal assets will increase by about $20 billion, which also makes his ranking on the 'Forbes Rich List' this year not lower, and may even further increase.

…………

When Xiao Feng and Yang Yuanhang greeted each other, several children were already hugging each other, chattering about various interesting things after parting, and the scene was quite lively.

Usually, several children will have a fixed time for video chat after finishing their homework, although there are not many opportunities to meet, but the relationship has not faded.

Xiao Feng looked at the happy appearance of the children, and his whole mood changed a lot.

For them who have become parents, the happy and healthy growth of their children is their greatest wish, which is not a high requirement.

After a delay at the airport, everyone boarded the electric golf cart that had been prepared for a long time and headed to the winery.

In order to avoid the impact of aircraft on the vineyards and wineries, the airport is located in the interior of the winery, but it is separated from the core of the winery by a hill, which is a good place to avoid noise and air pollution from jets.

At present, the total area of the entire 'No. 2 Winery' has reached a staggering 10,000 acres, which is considered a giant in the tens or hundreds of acres of Napa Valley, which is the most common. This is also the huge scale formed by the continuous mergers of many wineries by the 'Mirror Lake Group', which is also the development model that 'Mirror Lake International' is used to in the United States.

Whether it is 'Dream Ranch', 'Miracle Farm' or 'No. 2 Winery', they all chose a core area and continued to acquire surrounding areas, eventually forming the current scale.

After the completion of the merger process, Château No. 2 was fully constructed, with an intelligent full-coverage irrigation system, and the grape varieties cultivated by the Jinghu Group were replanted, and many facilities suitable for sightseeing were built.

From the acquisition to the final construction, the investment of the entire winery has invested more than 5 billion US dollars in Xiao Feng and the 'Xiao family', that is, the Xiao family has such courage and abundant funds.

However, after three years of investment, Château No. 2 managed to produce 1 million bottles of wine last year. This is already the beginning to see the money back!

When the 'No. 2 winery' gradually reaches an annual production of 2 million bottles within three to five years, it will become a cornucopia of the 'Xiao family' and a family industry that will be passed on forever.

The outside world has an almost magical feeling about Xiao Feng's investment gaze, after all, many of Xiao Feng's big strokes will form a hen that lays golden eggs, which makes people envious, jealous and hateful.

It's just that the 'Xiao family's control over these core industries has completely exceeded people's imagination, and it is really difficult to profit from them.

For this reason, many consortia and institutions can only let Xiao Feng sell other interests through other means, which has led to the stable state of the rapid development of the 'Jinghu Group'.

For example, most of the products of the 'Jinghu Group' are sold through the group's direct sales channels, except for a very small number of products.

In addition, the logistics, accounting and auditing, employee training, employee welfare and other affairs of the 'Jinghu Group' have also given a lot of profits to the partners and united more people.

For example, the logistics business of 'Jinghu Group' fed a company called 'Xinxin Logistics' and made it one of the largest logistics companies in China, and Liu Xin became the executive vice president of 'Xinxin Group', winning the consensus of the group on the issue of final succession.

The overseas sales of Kiang Wu Group's high-end ingredients have contributed to the rapid growth of Watanabe Supermarket and Wharton Group, and these unique products have created two business miracles.

It is precisely because of this that although the 'Xiao family' and many core industries 'eat alone', they are still not attacked by other consortia!

…………

Along the winding concrete road in the mountains, Xiao Feng admires the neatly arranged vineyards on the hills, which is the most common view in the entire Napa Valley.

The Napa Valley is not an endless stretch of flat land, but from time to time you can see hills, and the undulating terrain is accompanied by vineyards, creating a special beauty.

The icy winds of the Arctic have blown from Canada to California, and the vines in the vineyards have turned yellow, leaving only clusters of agate-like grapes glistening in the sun.

Other wineries in Napa Valley start harvesting and making wine in early November, but Second Winery is the only exception, and it doesn't start until the end of November.

According to the analysis of the technicians of Château No. 2, due to the warm climate this year, the grapes can be hung on the vine for a few more days, so that the sugar can be converted a little more, and the yield will be increased and the taste will be enhanced.

This weekend, Château No. 2 will be open to visitors, who will be able to enjoy the beautiful scenery in the vineyards, enjoy delicious food and wine, and take a hot air balloon ride over the magnificent scenery, as well as pick the grapes and make the first few steps of wine production under the guidance of technicians.

In the future, 'Château No. 2' will deliver the wines to the homes of tourists, and the price of $1,000 per bottle is quite a discount!

You know, the 2017 vintage of 'Second Winery' that will be launched this year is selling for a whopping $1,288 on the market, and tourists have taken advantage of it.

Therefore, most of the tourists who were able to enter the 'No. 2 Winery' for vacation this time were lucky old customers of the 'Jinghu Group', the families of the group's employees and partners, and there were only a handful of ordinary tourists in the society!

Xiao Feng, Xiao Qiang, and Yang Yuanhang sat in a car, chatting about various details of this 'tourism festival' while traveling, checking and filling in the gaps.

Xiao Feng has absolute confidence in Xiao Qiang and Yang Yuanhang's work ability and the execution ability of the entire group, and he is not here to pick on it today, so the conversation in the car is quite harmonious.

After less than ten minutes of progress, the electric golf cart stopped in front of a huge castle, which is the core area of the entire 'No. 2 winery', 'Yaochi Castle'.

This castle with a Western Charlotte style is original, and after the 'Xiao family' took over, it was renamed 'Yaochi Castle', Xiao Feng and Xu Mengyao will always show their affection in various ways and abuse single dogs!

In addition to the magnificent above-ground buildings, the 'Yaochi Castle' has a huge underground cave system, which is the main aging and cellaring place of the entire 'No. 2 Winery'.

For the past three years, a team from Huaxia Railway Construction has been working under the Yaochi Castle and in the nearby hills, trying to build a huge underground project that can cellar 50 million wines!

In the future, it will become the world's largest single wine cellar, containing tens of millions of top wines worth hundreds of billions of dollars, and become part of the century-old heritage of the 'Xiao family'!

When Xiao Feng's plan was announced within the family, everyone was dumbfounded, but without any hesitation, everyone agreed to this huge project with a total investment of more than 3 billion US dollars and will continue for more than 10 years!

The Xiao family is greatly encouraged by the huge benefits that have been won in the precedent of the cellaring of the 'Xiao Clan' winery, and the family's centuries-old tradition of storing supplies like squirrels is most vividly embodied at this moment!

'No. 2 Winery' will become an important overseas base for the 'Xiao family', and its importance is self-evident! )
