Chapter 94: Something Happened at the Winery
The smile overflowing from her mouth was captured by Fang Zhiqing, and her stiff and perfect face also showed a little soft lines, she suddenly thought of his wife, thinking that she had been teased by Gu Muhan for the past two days, and hurriedly glanced at Henry.
Henry glanced at Gu Muhan, with a little smile in his eyes, "Gu, you're not young, have you met a girl you like in China, when can you drink your glass of wine?" ”
At first glance, hearing his words, although there was no trace, Gu Muhan, who was extremely intelligent, still glanced at Fang Zhiqing coldly.
"If you have it, please go over and drink."
Henry was surprised, "Such a brilliant young man, no girl likes it?" ”
Fang Zhiqing chuckled, "The president has a lot of girls who like it, but he doesn't like people." ”
Henry nodded abruptly, "Look at me, Westerners all pick boys from girls, and you men pick girls." Don't blame me for talking too much, if you like a person, you fight for yourself, not love from time to time, if you feel it, get along, maybe you can find true love. ”
Gu Muhan took a sip of red wine, and said in Henry's tone, "This kind of thing is really mysterious, and in the end, you may find that person by your side, do you say Uncle Henry." ”
As soon as these words came out, Henry's eyes looked at Fang Zhiqing with a little surprise, and her face was hot with fright.
"It's not me, it's not me, the president is taking revenge on me, Mr. Henry."
When the words fell, Fang Zhiqing jumped to her feet in anger, she wanted to play tricks on the president with Mr. Henry, but she didn't expect him to take her army so quickly.
Henry laughed, "Miss Fang has been working by his side for so many years, and she hasn't learned a little cheeky skill from him, so she blushes when she is joked like this, it's rare!" ”
Fang Zhiqing was tragically ridiculed by the two big men, and she almost choked on drinking water.
Gu Muhan looked at the time, "Let's go to the winery and sign the contract first." ”
Henry waved his hand, "Don't worry, eat more, I'm not worried about you running away, what are you in a hurry?" Someone waiting at home? But it is not a matter of time. ”
Gu Muhan declined his hospitality, "After signing the contract, you can have lunch with peace of mind, and I will have a few drinks with you at that time." ”
Wine is the favorite of French men, especially the owner of a winery, and Henry naturally will not refuse.
The three of them rode Henry's old Lincoln, chatted about the different customs and customs between the two countries, admired the famous buildings in Paris, the high-rise buildings on the Champs-Élysées, the heavy and beautiful Arc de Triomphe, Notre Dame Cathedral, passed the Seine, admired the castles along the banks, and entered the vast grape fields out of the city. Compared to Henry's winery, it is nothing more than a drop in the bucket.
After a journey of more than 200 kilometers and more than two hours, the car enters the dirt road leading to Château Henry, which is close to Bordeaux and is the most famous wine producing area in the world.
The Bordeaux region produces two world-famous things, one is wine, the other is a manor house specializing in winemaking, the same is a Renaissance building, but it has a garden full of grapes and grape aromas, in the vast vineyards, the workers work on horseback, and the grapes are round and round one after another, which is simply more spectacular than the forest.
Fang Zhiqing was still sitting quietly in a chair at first to deal with official business, and when the smell of wine wafting in the air reached her nose, she was pleasantly surprised to turn her eyes out of the window and enjoy the rare magnificent scenery.
Hearing Gu Muhan say that she wanted to buy Henry's winery before, she also questioned it, after all, Jing Yan had never been involved in the investment of consumer goods, could it be that because the old president and Henry knew each other, this favor was sold to this point.
But when I saw the numbers recorded on the documents, I suddenly found that this winery is equal to Henry's half-sold and half-gifted, covering an area of more than 500 acres and almost the second largest estate in the vineyards of the Bordeaux region, and at the same time, the wines produced in his winery are almost as famous as Cheval Cheval, ranking among the eight estates praised by wine connoisseurs. This building, rich in the style of the first century of Rome, has become one of the must-visit attractions for visitors to Bordeaux Château.
The winery produces the world-famous wine Ozon, which is dark in color and glows blue, and is as beautiful as a jewel in the deep sea. The smell is open and thick, complex, dense tannins, but the taste is impressive and the aftertaste is very persistent, and the overall feeling is like a beautiful woman standing in front of you, telling you what is the true style of a woman. However, due to the complexity of the brewing process, it is necessary to wait for such a delicious sake to be produced for at least eight years, so it is in short supply, and it has many followers, and it is almost sold out once it is put on the market.
To say that such a famous red wine, the price is expensive, plus the sales of other red wines, tourism income, will not be able to afford to raise a winery. However, in Henry's generation, the family was withered, lack of effective management, Henry was a drunkard but had no intention of doing business, as a descendant of an old French aristocracy, his extensive contacts also became a burden, if the season was unpredictable, the grapes were lost, and over time, the winery's business deteriorated, and then went into debt.
It's a pity that such a big winery is about to change hands.
Gu Qinghan and Henry intersected in the end of the micro became a confidant of life and death, the French winery began to reform from manual production to large-scale mechanical processing more than ten years ago, at that time Gu Qinghan suggested that Henry catch up with the times, but Henry was reluctant to make this ancient method of brewing has been delayed, I don't know when, the taste of the world has changed, good fast food-like food enjoyment, unwilling to try the ancient method of brewing wine, even if it has aging precipitation, has the most real taste, but the assembly line produces more wine is not easy to get up, Henry invested a lot of money in reform at this time, but he only took the last train, and then Ou Song also withdrew from the stage of famous wine, and few people know about it.
At that time, Henry was reluctant to spend any more time on business, and year after year, the old book had to be empty.
Many of his friends wanted to buy it, but the cooperation of the capitalists was always indifferent or exterminated, and Henry was reluctant to hold on for a few more years, and now he really can't hold on.
Gu Qinghan gave him a good reward, liquidated all the assets of the winery, bought them at twice the market price, and let Henry buy the shares of a guidance consultant, he also took the money in vain, it was much better than other capitalists to let him become a drunkard after selling the winery.
The car stopped on the lawn in front of the winery, and the three of them got out of the car after greeting each other, and saw a worker running over with a panicked face.
"Boss, the group of debtors are here again."
When Henry heard this, his face immediately showed panic, he glanced at Gu Muhan timidly, didn't say anything, and hurriedly ran towards the winery.
Seeing that he was so flustered, Gu Muhan and Fang Zhiqing also followed.
When I opened the door of the winery, a strong smell of wine came to my face, and before I could figure out the situation, everyone was shocked by the devastation in the house.
The furniture was messily poured on the ground, there were many smashed red wine bottles scattered everywhere, the ground could be seen as bright red as blood flowing, the walls also had traces left by people falling with hard objects, what Roman frescoes were also splashed with red, black and white, the whole winery, how can you still see the original bright and bright appearance, as if swept by a storm, miserable, no one is sound.
"My wine ......," Henry wailed as he rushed to the overturned wine cabinet, and beneath it, countless shards of glass.
Gu Muhan's face turned cold, and he hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Henry, "Don't go over, it's all glass slag, it's easy to scratch." ”
Henry struggled a few times, but saw that he could not break free, so he could only stop in place, looking at the ruined bottle with a languid expression.
It's no wonder he's sad, the display cabinet is filled with samples carefully selected by the winery to attract customers, and each bottle has a vintage and a story, which is worth at least a few million if you roughly calculate it.
