000061 meetings
When I returned to the resort in the evening, I opened my notebook and saw Li Qinglin's message in the upper circle, only to find out that it was the fourth day since the last prize quiz on the blog. So he immediately blogged about the answer, and gave a brief introduction to the Monterrey winery. And I checked the last reply and found that no one guessed correctly.
When he turned back to today's article, he found that someone below had already sent out the news of his purchase of the Monterey winery from the English website, and guessed that he was the Chinese billionaire "Xiao" who bought the winery.
Li Qinglin's circle immediately began to flash wildly, playing the video again, shaking the window again, and there was a sentence on it, "Local tyrant, did you really buy it, ask for a cover." ”
And Xiao Ya's movement was much smaller, just one sentence, "Did you really buy it?" ”
Xiao Yifei immediately replied: "I bought it and invited you to come over to play." Help me keep my identity private. ”
then replied to Li Qinglin, who played the video, "It's me, I'll cover you here, keep it secret." ”
Xiao Ya immediately replied: "Li Qinglin just screamed in the office, and was arrested by the leader to give a lecture." ”
Xiao Yifei replied with a laughing and thumping expression.
Xiao Ya made an expression of covering her mouth and snickering.
The two chatted about the recent situation again, and Xiao Yifei talked about the pain and boredom of the negotiation some time ago, hoping that Xiao Ya would understand that he had not called her during this time. In the end, Xiao Ya said that she wanted to come and see. Xiao Yifei asked her to apply for a passport, and then apply for a tourist visa to the United States, if she didn't want to run, she would find a travel agency to help her.
After a while, Xiao Ya said, "Li Qinglin was finished by the leader K." ”
Xiao Yifei simply set up a group and pulled the two of them in.
Li Qinglin was really sad, came in and began to complain, and said that he would go to apply for a visa tomorrow, and he must come to the winery to slaughter Xiao Yifei.
Xiao Yifei replied: "There are 2 million bottles in the wine cellar, it is enough to drown you." ”
Xiao Ya directly had a dizzy expression, followed by a 2 million bottle.
Li Qinglin directly slammed the ground and shouted, local tyrant, beg for **.
Xiao Yifei directly asked him to take Xiao Ya with him to apply for a tourist visa, and he agreed.
Xiao Yifei sent them some photos of the vineyards.
"Tuhao, how many vineyards do you have?"
"Nearly 260 acres."
"Local tyrant, I must eat you."
"Come on, enough wine."
"I want the best, I don't want it."
"Khan, the most expensive red wine in the winery is only $150 per bottle, how much can you drink?"
"So cheap?"
You can't blame Li Qinglin for thinking it's cheap, this thing is only more than 1,000 yuan a bottle, and there are too many imported wine brands in China that can't move tens of thousands.
"No way, the price of domestic wine is too terrifying, and foreign wine for more than ten dollars dares to buy tens of thousands, you let him sell it abroad at that price to see if anyone can buy it." Besides, our winery is based on volume, but there are small wineries in the valley, and there are dozens of wineries producing for $600 a bottle. ”
"Then you'll get hundreds or thousands of dollars."
"But their quantities are so small, only a few hundred or thousands of boxes a year. After all, our winery has not made any money. ”
"Oh, then you're a mid-range brand."
"This statement is not quite true, I suggest you watch the movie "Bottle Strike", many of the scenes in it were taken at the winery."
"Is there such a thing? Then I'll take a look. ”
After chatting for a while, Xiao Yifei was going to sleep.
"Okay, you guys take your time, I'm going to sleep."
Xiao Yifei didn't go to sleep at all, but went to the space to translate.
The black nose in the space has been locked up for so long, but Xiao Yifei himself has always lived in the resort, and he can't let it out at all. Xiao Yifei was busy with work all day and didn't have much time to spend with it. Thankfully, the black nose couldn't speak, so he couldn't protest.
Now that the black nose is half a year old, he doesn't hold hands now, but likes to hold people's legs instead.
Xiao Yifei squatted down, and the black nose immediately let go of his legs, leaned over his head, and stuck out his tongue to lick him.
Xiao Yifei held the black-nosed head and gently shook its head.
"Black Nose, I'll let you out after a while."
With that, he pulled the black nose's eyelids up with his fingers, making it roll its eyes.
Xiao Yifei himself knows that this sentence is very false. Not all resorts allow pets, and once the black nose is revealed, it is not easy to hide it, then it is estimated that it can only be outside all the time, if it finds a specific clue about the Isis space, it will definitely set off to find it immediately, and it will be troublesome to bring it with or without a black nose at that time, so it is better to let it stay in the space.
After playing with Black Nose for a while, Xiao Yifei sat at the desk translating Hans's diary, Black Nose lay quietly next to the desk, enjoying the rare time with his master, listening to the crackling keyboard, lying on his two paws and closing his eyes and pretending to sleep.
Xiao Yifei's speed of translating diaries has been raised, and he has now completed translating his diary for 43 years. Entered the content of 44 years. Hans's diary also translated the contents of Pierre's diary and began Ray's diary.
There is still not much information about Isis space in the diary, except that Pierre went to Egypt once, but found nothing, and did not feel anything at all.
Such a headless sentence made Xiao Yifei both happy and angry. The good news is that everyone is looking for Isis space, and they also mentioned the way to find it, induction. The angry thing is that the words are unknown, how to sense it is not mentioned at all, and the angry Pierre has not been found in Egypt, so the Isis space must have been scattered elsewhere, and the modern traffic conditions are larger than any master in the history of the Osiris space, and most of them are searched.
The next day, the winery's transitional commissioners met for the first time.
First, everyone briefly talked about their work, and then Xiao Yifei began to peddle his renovation suggestions.
"I now have a basic understanding of the winery, and in addition to the equipment upgrades that Bo has planned, I also have some ideas to make some changes to the vineyard and the winery."
"The first thing is to reclaim some vineyards on the hill, which is in the hands of Davy, and the new vineyards may need to be remodeled, which is the winery's soil consultant, Bob."
"The second is to increase drip irrigation equipment. I've asked Professor Linda and Walker to design this one from the last time they came to inspect the vineyard. In a few days, we will be able to start construction, and David is also responsible for this matter. ”
David immediately objected.
"Xiao, construction now?"
"What's wrong, David?"
"Now that the vineyard is in flowering and fruiting period, it is a critical period for vineyard management."
Beau also said next to him:
"It's true that this is also a critical time for the vineyard to fight fungi, and if the personnel are too complex, it can have a big impact on this."
Well, it seems that Xiao Yifei is thinking simple.
"Then when do you think it's the right time to build?"
"It's best to do it in the winter with winter shears. At that time, the grapes did not have leaves, and they were easy to build. ”
"Is there any time?"
"Starting in December, three months is enough."
"Well, drip irrigation will be done in the winter, and now it's no problem to cultivate the vineyards."
"That's fine, I contacted the good people last night, and they came in the afternoon. The new vineyards are on the hillside and our roads are strong enough to support their machinery. And you can also make the big pool you want first, and you can also lay a few main pipes first, as long as you don't go into the grape field, it's fine. ”
"Okay, you should pay attention to this aspect, and the management of the vineyard cannot be relaxed, this time will be hard for you."
"It's okay, I'm just an overseer."
"Well, let's talk about the second point. I think the winery will need to be renovated as well. All wineries in Napa are the same, and in addition to the income from the sale of wine, the other most important source of income is the tourists they host. ”
"The first is that our current website is too monotonous, basically the same as all other wineries, just a few simple sections, with shriveled text about our winery, vineyards, wines and people, etc., which is really too popular."
This aspect is something that no one notices. After all, Beau is almost 60 years old, and the youngest of the management is almost 40 years old, and although the winery has a website, they don't pay enough attention to the online business.
"We should introduce our winery with pictures, videos, flash animations, etc."
"Where are we located? We're in Callistoga, which is in the deepest part of the Napa Valley, and even the wine train doesn't come here, so there are very few people who come to Callistoga for those who have no purpose and no car. ”
"And we're in the northernmost part of Callistoga, which is the most remote part of Napa Valley, and there are basically no casual tourists except for the guests who come to the winery, because they go to other wineries halfway through. Therefore, if we want to increase the number of visitors to the winery, we must first increase the number of guests who come to the winery, and these people are the ones who are the most likely to convert into regular customers and become members of our wine club. ”
"How do you get them to come here? According to the survey, most of the people who are online are young people, and according to statistics, the number of young people who drink red wine is very small, so we have to use this group of people as our treasure trove to excavate. Therefore, our website should be different from other people's and make them feel that it is worth making a special trip to our winery. ”
"The website is a publicity issue, and I'm going to leave it to Nala. Now that so many people in Silicon Valley are unemployed, I believe it will be easy to find someone to complete the construction of a new website, how about it, is there a problem? ”
"I don't know much about these things."
"I know you need to go to Silicon Valley first to find someone, and the job is very simple, it's a website and a list of network equipment updates. Specifically, we will discuss it with you after you find someone, and I used to code, so I probably know a little bit about the website. ”
"That's fine."
"Speaking of the Internet, I'll just talk about it in passing. For the foreign language version of the website, consider adding German and French pages. In addition, for Chinese websites, although our wine has not yet entered the mainland on a large scale, the mainland market has great potential, so it is still necessary to open a Chinese website, but considering the limited network, it is best to establish a set of servers in the mainland to provide mainland users with access. ”
"Of course, this can be done in the next step, and Nala will be in charge."
"Now that the tourists are coming, we need to be able to keep them, so the winery needs to make hardware improvements."
"The second improvement I'm talking about is the parking lot. We now have five parking lots, and customers can park where they want, but there are often cases where customers go to a certain parking lot and find that there is no vacancy, so they have to work hard to turn around and go to another parking lot. So, I think the winery's parking lot needs to be re-planned and there should be a noticeable sign at the door to direct guests to the parking lot where there are vacant spaces. This is the responsibility of Greg. ”
