Stopped at the gate of the manor was a very coquettish Ferrari, the sports car stopped at the gate of the manor, and three people walked out of the sports car. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The first to walk down was a stout middle-aged Frenchman, his face turned red from the perennial sun, wearing a plaid shirt and a baseball cap on his head, looking rustic, much like a local fruit farmer.

The second person who walked down was a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes, wearing gold-rimmed glasses and holding a briefcase in his hand, looking like a financial person.

The last person to get out of the car was a young man, about the same age as Ye Chen, wearing expensive casual clothes, with a sparkling golden watch, fair skin, a handsome face, plus the cool expression on his face, plus the sports car behind him, at first glance, he was a very rich person in the local area.

"Henry, why did you bring him here again!" Looking at the young man, Antoine, who had been playing the role of a gas bag just now, suddenly became furious and yelled loudly at the stout French man.

"Dad, don't be angry, Master Jeff is also for our good." Seeing that Antoine was angry, the French strong man hurriedly said flatteringly.

"Fart!" Antoine said angrily.

"Ahem." The young man behind Henry coughed twice, suggesting his presence.

Hearing the coughing sound of the young man, Henry suddenly understood, and hurriedly said: "Presumably this is the new owner of the Posong Winery, hello, I am Henry, and I am the winemaker of the Posong Winery." Henry first introduced himself, and then pointed to the young man and the middle-aged man in the suit: "This is Young Master Jeff, the director of Miller Winery next door." This is the general manager of the Agricultural Bank, Mr. Johnny. ”

Although Antoine was still angry, he still translated Henry's words to Ye Chen. He adds: "Château Müller is the largest in the town, having won the first prize at the Provencal tasting for several years, but all these years it has always wanted to acquire the vineyards of Château Person, because it is in the town that the fields of Château Perchon are the most suitable for grape growth. ”

Ye Chen nodded and understood the young man's intention, and then he asked, "But what's going on with the people in this bank, and what is he doing here?" ”

Antoine also shook his head blankly, indicating that he didn't know either.

Ye Chen and Antoine muttered a few words, and then motioned for Antoine to invite the three of them to the square table on the manor's lawn.

As soon as he sat down on the square table, the bank manager Johnny took out a stack of documents from his briefcase and pushed them in front of Ye Chen, while at the same time muttering a lot of French in his mouth.

Ye Chen looked at Antoine beside him with a question mark on his face, but found that this old man's face was extremely bad, as if he had aged in an instant. Looking at Antoine's face, Ye Chen chuckled in his heart, and he couldn't help but ask, "What's the matter, Antoine." What do these files this guy mean for me! ”

"Château Person owes too much money to the bank over the years, not only can we not repay the loan, but the quality of the red wine produced is declining year by year, and the bank's rating of us is gradually declining. This is the last year, and if you are unable to repay the loan or improve your credit rating with the bank before Christmas, the bank will forcibly declare Château Perçon bankrupt and the estate will be re-auctioned for a new owner, in coordination with the Provençal Wine Association and the French Ministry of Agriculture. This gentleman is here to inform the ......"

Antoine finally translated Johnny's words to Ye Chen.

After listening to Antoine's words, Ye Chen's whole person was stunned.

From heaven to hell, Ye Chen felt that he could no longer describe the feeling at this moment in words.

Before coming to France, Ye Chen and his father thought that this time it was the green smoke on the ancestral grave, and the old Ye family, who had been aggrieved for several generations, was finally about to rise, and the two of them hugged their shoulders and drank wine all night. Not only the father, but even the mother's face was beaming, after all, he picked up such a big bargain for nothing. At that time, Ye Chen patted his chest and assured the two old men that when they stabilized, they would be brought to France to enjoy their happiness.

But now Johnny's words have made all Ye Chen's dreams come to naught, not only his parents may not have a chance to come here again, but even he himself will be driven back to China in the gray and go back to live that kind of life at the mercy of others.

Ye Chen was unwilling in his heart, but he couldn't resist the powerful reality.

"Young master, young master, are you okay?" Seeing that Ye Chen was stunned, Antoine hurriedly patted him and said.

Ye Chen woke up from his contemplation, smiled at Antoine gratefully, signaled that he was fine, and then he turned his head to look at Johnny and said, "Half a year later, the bank will declare the winery to go bankrupt, I want to ask, what can I get in the end as the owner of the winery?" ”

Antoine automatically translated Ye Chen's words.

Hearing Ye Chen's question, Johnny and Jeff looked at each other and laughed.

"Dear sir, forced bankruptcy means that the winery is fully repaid, and you can't take anything with you."

"That's true." Ye Chen nodded in disappointment, thinking that it was really an empty joy.

"Now, though, there's another option in front of you." Jeff, a young man who had not spoken, finally spoke.

"What choice?" Ye Chen couldn't help but ask.

"Sell the vineyard to Château Miller." After Jeff finished speaking, he also took out a document and pushed it in front of Ye Chen. At the same time, he said: "Sell us the vineyards, and I promise to give you a satisfactory return, instead of returning to China empty-handed, as I said before." ”

"How much money are you going to give me?" Ye Chen asked.

"200,000 euros, just sign this contract and you get 200,000 euros!" Jeff raised two fingers and said seductively.

200,000 euros is not a small amount, but compared to such a large vineyard, it is nothing.

And when Ye Chen looked up at Jeff and Johnny who were sitting opposite him, he had a very strange feeling in his heart.

Why did these two completely unrelated people come together today to find themselves, and on the first day of their arrival in France?

Looking at the smiling expressions on the faces of the two, Ye Chen suddenly had a hint of realization in his heart, he was no longer as negative as he was just now, but leaned back on the chair behind him and asked, "Dear sir, I want to know why such a winery is only worth twenty euros in your eyes?" ”

Naturally, Antoine was in charge of translating this sentence.

Hearing Ye Chen's question, Jeff's face showed an impatient look.

"Don't you understand? Now that Château Posong is no longer an AOC and has signed a huge loan, the winery is now worthless! ”
