Chapter 389: Huge Debt
ps: Let's take two more 25,000 words first, there should be one or two more chapters later, please see that Viggo is working so hard, order it all! 360-degree rolling in the ice and snow, all kinds of requests, all kinds of requests!
Li Yi is cursing Liao Wenhao, and Liao Wenhao is also cursing Li Yi-'''''
"Draft uncle! Drafting the uncle, drafting the uncle......"
On the Mercedes-Benz that was speeding away, Liao Wenhao was trembling his little fat face, while unconsciously repeating the famous Chinese scolding.
Looking at his expression, I don't know if he is really scolding Li Yi or not swearing is not enough to celebrate the lucky escape from death just now.
After a while, he regained his calm, his eyes stared at the car window for a while, and a happy smile suddenly appeared on his face, so he was okay? That guy just let him go?
"Hahahaha, book a ticket back to China for Lao Tzu immediately, damn it, the smell of fox on the foreigner woman, Lao Tzu has long had enough!"
In the negotiation room, Li Yi signed his name on the vineyard transfer agreement with a stinky face. Pay 78 million euros in a month, almost 6.5 billion soft sister coins......
And entrusting Mo Zixi's company to process the transaction, it is necessary to pay them 2% of the transaction commission.
2% of 28 million euros is 560,000 euros, that is, 4.7 million soft sister coins, in addition, 25% of the comprehensive transaction tax will be paid if the transfer is made.
In other words, the name that Li Yi signed on that contract turned his cash assets from positive 65.5 billion to negative 6 million soft sister coins!
Damn, no one can compare to the speed of Lao Tzu's loser......
"Mr. Li Yi, thank you very much for your generosity this time, so, I wish us a happy cooperation?"
"Happy working together!"
"By the way, I just heard Renault tell me that you still want to buy that antique oil painting in our reception room. And willing to pay 10 million euros for it? ”
Damn, I almost forgot, there's 80 million here!
Li Yi gritted his teeth and nodded.
"Actually, the value of that oil painting is definitely more than 10 million euros, but to express our sincerity and gratitude to you, Mr. Li, for your generosity. We have decided that all you have to do is sign this contract with your name and it will be yours! ”
There are many lice and there is no itching, and there are many debts. After carefully flipping through the transfer agreement written in Chinese, French and English in front of him, Li Yi signed his name on it.
Now it's all right. 65.5 billion not only has nothing left, but also owes a huge debt of up to 90 million soft sister coins, if you add the 200 million liquidity that needs to be handed over to Lanzhu, he is now losing 29 billion!
After signing the agreement and paying the deposit, Li Yi remembered that he should go to the vineyard that now belonged to him first.
Damn, it's strange to think about it, I haven't inspected the goods yet, and I have already signed this contract with an amount of more than 700 million soft sister coins! It's time to be sprayed by book friends again!
The vineyard that the two sides traded was still some distance from the castle, and. When Li Yi arrived at the place, he realized why they would sell the 3 hectares no more or less.
Because this vineyard is an enclave, it was also a first-class winery in the past, and it was acquired by Sengelo more than 80 years ago, and it was only then branded with its current brand.
This vineyard is not connected to the large vineyards of Angelo, but is across the road from the vineyards of Margaux, one of the eight famous vineyards.
In the middle of this vineyard, there is an old European-style stone building, which was left by the owner of the winery, and Singelo has always been inhabited. So it's pretty good.
The underground wine cellar was designed and renovated by Xiangelu, which once occupied a place in the Chinese wine market five years ago, when the irrational consumption of Chinese wine reached its peak.
The quality of the decoration was very good at that time. Therefore, in Li Yi's opinion, this wine cellar is not old at all, but even more luxurious and beautiful than the wine cellar of the old Dean's family.
"The average age of the vines here is 35 years, and the proportion of grapes planted is 65% Cabernet Sauvignon and 25% Merlot. 5% Cabernet Franc and 5% Small Dimension, the soil is deep gravel, sandy gravel and a mixture of sandy soil. ”
"These 3 hectares of vineyards, of the more than 3,000 hectares in the entire village of Margaux, are definitely among the best in the world, and the grapes produced here are even better than those from our own vineyards! This will be known when you know the vineyard grades of the entire Margaux village, Mr. Li. ”
Michelle, the owner of Xiangelu's generation, introduced Li Yi all the way, while Mo Zixi seemed to be a little follower, while translating and asking for relevant information from the company, and then revealing these materials to Li Yi to verify and supplement Michelle's description.
He's right, in fact, even the vineyards of Château Margaux have only about 10 hectares that can achieve this quality. This vineyard is one of the best plots in the entire Bordeaux appellation. ”
In fact, there is no need for Mo Zixi to say more, Li Yi knows that he will definitely not lose this time.
The passage he said just now after driving away Liao Wenhao seemed to be arrogant and not brainy, but it was actually what he said after careful consideration.
Because after investigating that Liao Wenhao was the mastermind behind the Vietnam tragedy, Gu Feng's comrades-in-arms once provided Li Yi with a piece of information about Liao Wenhao. Above, there was an evaluation of Liao Wenhao's ability, although there are only four simple words of business genius, but it is enough to explain the problem.
Therefore, Li Yi believes that the plot that Liao Wenhao can fancy is definitely a plot with no problem. And the conditions he can negotiate will definitely be many times better than what he himself can negotiate!
This is the main reason why he dared to sign a contract without even looking at the vineyard!
Facts have proved that Li Yi's judgment was not wrong, but he really didn't expect that Liao Wenhao had ulterior motives, so he did a little bit of capital operation in this agreement, but he put him in the fact that the amount of funds was not very sufficient.
"Because we don't make wine here, there is still a shortage of a barrel room, a temperature-controlled stainless steel fermentation vat. However, we can prepare these for you according to your requirements. In addition, we will keep all those mature workers for you, but whether you can keep them or not depends on yourself. ”
Li Yi slapped his head hard, damn it, I actually forgot that there is still this stubble, and there are still a group of workers to raise, which is a lot of expenses!
This matter was really beyond his ability, and he decided to let Lan Zhu come over as much as possible, and then leave it to him to take care of until he found another suitable person to take over.
But soon he was relieved, for Michel told him that there were only five men in charge of the vineyards, and that this was because the land was so good that it needed to be taken care of. Otherwise, three hectares or even one person would be enough, but in that case, you would have to hire odd jobs during the grape season.
In addition, there are two servant women who are responsible for taking care of the stone building, that is to say, Li Yi only needs to pay the wages of these 7 people next, and their salaries are all combined, and they are only less than 20,000 euros per month, which is not a problem for Li Yi at all.
"This is Cabeco, this is Languedoc, Charente, Corsica, Anjou......"
Because the news of the sale of the vineyard had already spread here, the seven workers had already waited aside, but Li Yi had not paid attention to it.
After Michelle introduced the seven workers to Li Yi, two middle-aged men immediately said that they wanted to return to Xiangelu, and the remaining five said they were willing to stay and try.
"Okay, all those who are willing to stay will get a 20% salary increase, and in addition, I will treat you to a big dinner in the evening!"
Li Yi shook hands with the five workers who were willing to stay one by one and announced his first policy.
"Oh no, Lee, you are engaging in unfair competition, if you do this, the workers in my winery will come to you!"
Michelle laughed and joked with him, and the group returned to Castle Sengo.
After confirming that there was no problem, Li Yi directly paid 38 million euros for the purchase of the vineyard and the oil painting at one time, and then took the oil painting out of the glass frame, carefully packaged it and sent it directly to the bank's safe, and then followed Mo Zixi to go through a series of procedures such as the transfer of ownership.
In the evening, after determining that Lu Ningshuang was going to work overtime, he called 5 workers to enter the city, and then spent about 5,000 euros to invite them to a real French meal, conquering these 5 workers at once.
After dealing with this qiē and returning to the hotel, Li Yi lay on the bed and began to think about how to get the 2.9 billion that was about to be owed.
In fact, the easiest way is for him to go back to Huaxia before the first loan payment of Xiangelu and go to gamble on stones. Even if you don't have the luck in Yangcheng before, but be diligent, it is estimated that the 2.9 billion is just a matter of a week.
But he knew that Lu Ningshuang would have a month off at most, and she would return to China after the holiday, so he didn't want to make this trip.
However, where will the money come from if you don't make this trip? I can't say, I'm afraid that the idea will still hit the head of the antique.
He couldn't have chosen to dispose of the ancient porcelain that Old Dean had gotten here, and even if he did, he wouldn't be able to sell for a price. So he set his sights on the second-class antiques in Europe.
This kind of antique, even if it is exchanged, it can't get anything good, but if you miss it and sell it for money, it's still a good source of finance. Although it may be slow to make money in this way, in fact, in the short term, he only needs to scrape together 90 million soft sister coins, and Lanzhu's 200 million is not urgent, and he can wait until he returns to China.
However, even 90 million soft sister coins are not so easy to earn, because once he encounters valuable antiques, the first thing he thinks about must be exchanged.
Because even if you don't care about the return of cultural relics, just simply exchange this kind of antique for Chinese antiques and sell it back to China, it will definitely make more money than selling that antique directly here! (To be continued.) )xh:1009666
