In the core area of the 'Xiao Family Farm', there is a small river that meanders from the depths of the Biluo Snow Mountain, forming a dam about 3 kilometers long and wide between the mountains, which has now become the vineyard of the Xiao Family Farm.

Thanks to the small river that runs through it, the irrigation of the entire vineyard is solved by a complete automatic irrigation system, and the fertile humus and more than 300 days of sunshine and frost-free periods make it the perfect place to grow wine grapes.

Standing on the mountain bag at the entrance of the vineyard, listening to Xiao Qiang's introduction to the various numbers and conditions of the vineyard, the envy in the eyes of some chefs who are very familiar with the wine industry is needless to mention!

Even in Europe, the United States and Australia, where the wine industry is most developed, it is rare to see such a large scale and such a favorable condition of vineyards, and the whole more than 600 hectares is undoubtedly a huge wealth.

If it was before, the guests would have thought that this vineyard was just big and unreal, but after tasting the 'Xiao wine' that won the gold medal of the 'Paris Agricultural Competition', everyone understood that this continuous vineyard in front of them was the most valuable wealth of the Xiao family!

After all, a vineyard with an annual production value of no less than 1 billion euros is extremely rare in the world!

The sun is shining in Ginkgo Village in late autumn, and the golden sunlight is slanting down from the blue sky, shining on the purple grape bunches, like strings of delicate agate!

Hundreds of farm workers are scattered in the vineyards to pick grapes, and the joy of the harvest can be felt even from afar.

Under the leadership of the Xiao family. The guests divided into several groups and entered the vineyard one after another, and the air seemed to be filled with the sweet smell of grapes, and this is where the top wines are born!

Compared with ordinary vineyards, in order to meet the standards of the AOC in France, the planting density of the Xiao family's vineyards is extremely small, in order to ensure that the original juice of grapes produced per hectare of vineyards is controlled below 1500L!

In this way, the original juice of wine that can be produced per acre of land is 100 liters per year, and the average of 50 vines is only 2 liters!

In order to meet such requirements, the best grape juice is cultivated. Every year when it blooms and bears fruit. The Xiao family farm has to organize employees to thin flowers and fruits, leaving only a few bunches of the best grapes on each vine.

As a result, even during the autumn harvest, there are only a handful of grapes hanging in the vineyards. But it's the concept of 'boutique'. As a result, the Xiao family vineyard has cultivated the fullest wine grapes.

Even with such measures. It is also enough to ensure that Xiaojia Vineyard can eventually produce 100 bottles of high-grade wine per acre, and the output of the entire vineyard exceeds 1 million bottles!

For marketing reasons, of course. The output announced by the Xiao family has been reduced by half, after all, there are too many things, and it is a little difficult to sell them at a high price.

…………

"Xiao Qiang, is there a plan for the sale of the vineyard's products?" Taking advantage of the fact that others were not paying attention, Fang Tianpu quietly pulled Xiao Qiang aside.

The reason why Fang Tianpu asked this is because he owns a wine trading company that specializes in importing red wine from California, USA, and has a good sales momentum in Haizhou and the Yangtze River Delta region.

In the past, French wines were often referred to as French wines, but in recent years, wines from places such as California, South Africa, Chile and New Zealand have been rapidly emerging on the international market, given the limited production of French wineries and the fact that most of the emerging markets have been taken away by venues in other regions.

Now, France's traditional hegemony will be strongly challenged by the Xiao family's vineyards.

In Fang Tianpu's view, with the fame and price of 'Xiao's wine', the main sales market should be in Europe and the United States, and China cannot fully absorb the output of a huge vineyard.

Therefore, after knowing the news of the award of 'Xiao's wine', Fang Tianpu came up with the idea of acting as an agent for 'Xiao's wine'.

This time I came to Ginkgo Village, in addition to gathering with friends in the food circle, the biggest purpose is this.

"We have plans to hand over the global agency separation, but I can't be the master alone!" Xiao Qiang nodded and said, "Uncle Fang, you stay in the village for a few more days, the investment promotion conference will be held soon, and everyone will sit down and talk about it at that time!"

For Fang Tianpu, Xiao Qiang naturally has enough good feelings, after all, in the process of the rise of the Xiao family's farm, Fang Tianpu played a very important role in it.

It's just that Xiao Qiang has now learned to restrain his emotions and can be more rational in dealing with farm affairs.

Wine agents need to have enough strength and marketing channels, and this can't be emotional!

"I understand this!" Fang Tianpu nodded, looked at the other guests who came over, and walked away as if nothing had happened.

In addition to Fang Tianpu, many guests in the vineyard also inquired about the sales agent of 'Xiao's Wine' in China, but Xiao Qiang, Xiao Tao and others were also vague and did not give a clear answer!

Since the Xiao family is not short of money, the 'Xiao's wine' produced every year does not need to be sold, only a small part needs to be sold, and the market can be maintained hot.

According to Xiao Feng's plan, the number of 'Xiao wines' sold to the outside world will be limited to about 300,000 bottles a year, and the rest will be stored in a large cellar built near the Zài vineyard.

The main sales market for wine should be overseas, and there is no need to recruit agents in China, and more than 200 cooperative restaurants are ready-made customers, even if each restaurant sells 300 bottles a year, it is more than 60,000 bottles. In addition, the Xiao family will also put the wine on the 'Jinghu Agricultural Products' and the farm counters of major supermarkets to sell, and the domestic sales problem will be solved!

While visiting the vineyards, the guests were amazed by the real winemaking method!

In today's mechanized and automated mass production, the vast majority of wineries have adopted the production process of mechanical pressing and large-vessel fermentation, and it is extremely rare to operate in this way of hand.

Nowadays, it is extremely rare for some of the top wineries in France and elsewhere to retain the ancient method of making wine.

No one thought that Xiao Family Farm would actually adopt the ancient method of handmade wine in the whole process of more than 600 hectares of super-large vineyards, and the cost and price required would be great.

However, it is precisely because of this that it is possible to make fine wines that amaze the gringos.

In order to avoid contact between wine and iron, all the picking tools in the Xiao family's vineyard are wooden, scissors made of bamboo chips, wooden barrels for pressing, oak barrels for fermentation, etc., which dazzle everyone who is used to seeing stainless steel wine barrels.

However, the consequence of all manual zuò is that the production of zuò is quite troublesome, the process is complex, and the labor consumed is much more than that of mechanical processing.

Generally speaking, a team of 10 employees can complete the harvesting, pressing, barreling and other processes of 10 acres of vineyards every day, one acre per person per day!

Xiao Family Farm has 400 employees, and it takes almost a month of hard work to harvest all the grapes, press them and put them in oak barrels for fermentation.

In the following month, the original juice of the fermented wine is extracted from the fermentation vats and placed in new oak barrels for ageing, so that the winemaking process is almost complete.

In the next six months, the matured wine can be bottled into the Xiao family's specially ordered 'Xiao's wine' bottle through the guò bottling system, and finally placed in the cellar.

In order to highlight the vintage and anti-counterfeiting, each bottle of Xiao's wine will be embossed with the number of the year, and the label attached to each bottle will also have a string of anti-counterfeiting identification codes. Customers only need to access the Internet or telephone system to enter the number of Xiaojia wines, and they can check the authenticity of this bottle of 'Xiao's wine'!

Originally, the tour of the vineyard lasted only two hours, but the guests were so interested in the vineyard that they forcibly extended the time to three hours.

After leaving the vineyard, the guests finally knew that the attitude of striving for perfection and pursuing quality is the most fundamental reason why Xiaojia Farm can produce all kinds of high-quality products.

Taking the Xiao family's vineyard as an example, if the Xiao family were a little more greedy, there would be no pressure at all to produce 2 million bottles of wine a year, but that would be doomed to sacrifice a certain quality. Nowadays, Xiaojia Vineyard has taken the initiative to reduce production and improve quality, but it can also increase the price of 'Xiao's wine'.

After the vineyard, the guests visited the pig farm, meat product chief, pasture and milk workshop one after another, and had an understanding of the origin of the Xiao family's various delicacies, and they were also full of confidence in the next cooperation.

With the previous successful cooperation cases, coupled with such sufficient facts, more than 200 restaurants did not think about it for too long, and on the third day after coming to Ginkgo Village, they signed a cooperation agreement with the Xiao family, and included 'Xiao's Food' as the main supplier of their own restaurants in 2011.

'Xiao's Food' is a wholly-owned food ingredients trading enterprise established by the Xiao family, which is mainly an enterprise that integrates the operation of various top ingredients in the Xiao family farm, Jinghu Ranch and Ginkgo area, which also reduces some troubles for many restaurants.

According to the final agreement, the average daily order volume of ordinary ingredients in each restaurant exceeded 15,000RMB, which means that 'Xiaoshi Food' will send 3 million RMB worth of ingredients to restaurant customers every day, and the annual sales will exceed the 1 billion mark!

In addition, 'Xiao's wine' has also won great favor, even if its domestic price is as high as 9888RMB/bottle, but it has also signed out 100,000 bottles at once, making everyone a little dumbfounded!

So far, the Xiao family's annual order meeting has come to a successful conclusion, the restaurant order volume has doubled compared with last year, and there is a big entry for wine, and the future of the Xiao family is boom......ing!
