Xiao Yifei was attracted by the new "Isis Space", and he didn't even have time to look for blueberry seedlings, so he immersed himself in the translation of the diary every day. In the diary, Hans was also attracted to the theory of "Isis space", so much so that he delayed his transfer, and instead of returning to China, he went to Poland to manage a concentration camp.

From the diary, it can be seen that Hans did not put his mind on the management of the concentration camp at all, but like Xiao Yifei, he buried himself in sorting out and translating the French diary, looking for clues about Isis's space. He also deliberately found some dictionaries of Middle French and Old French to translate the diaries of those distant years. It's just that this makes the records in his diary even more cluttered.

Obviously, Hans was also very anxious about the "Isis Space", in addition to translating Pierre's diary, he also began to look through Ray's diary, and even more excessively, he actually began to take a dictionary of Middle French and began to gnaw at the previous diaries of the Latour family, hoping to find clues about space. These things are intertwined, maybe the last sentence is about Paris in the 19th century, the next sentence jumps to France in the 14th century, and the next sentence jumps back to Paris in the 20th century, which makes Xiao Yifei have a headache to watch.

Xiao Yifei re-translated the information about the space description translated by Hans, but did not find that it contained the same content as Isis's space. After careful comparison of the Egyptian hieroglyphs and marble tablets rubbed by the Louis Latour family, it is found that this thing is a little different, and the rubbing information is obviously missing. What's going on?

A careful comparison of the incomprehensible French sources revealed a small number of new and useful new things. Instead, it was found that Hans had abandoned many of the materials in French, because many of them were wrong.

Xiao Yifei can understand this, because he has checked the information on ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs, and the translations of these words were wrong until the discovery of the Rosetta Stone in 1799. And the true genius of this script was the Frenchman Champollion, who completely translated this script in the nineteenth century, and this remarkable achievement also led the Louvre to set up a special position for him, the chairman of Egyptology, who is said to have caused a great sensation in Egypt and was treated like a star. He often stood in front of ancient ruins and read the inscriptions aloud to the people.

When Xiao Yifei saw this, he had a sad feeling in his heart, a nation and a country can't read the words left by their ancestors by themselves, and they still need a foreigner to let them understand what their ancestors wrote, isn't this a sad thing.

Xiao Yifei wanted to know what was going on, and he also wanted to set off to find Isis Space now. But he now had no clue other than knowing the name Isis Space. And the diary also said that Pierre did not find Isis space in Egypt, Xiao Yifei believes that no matter which owner of the space, as long as he knows that there is still an Isis space, then he will definitely need it, and the focus of the search is definitely Egypt. And Pierre clearly said two words "again", which means that this is not Pierre's first trip to Egypt. Since so many people have searched for it and have not found it, Xiao Yifei has no clue now, and he doesn't know how to find it or how to find it. Therefore, it is better to stay here and continue to translate the diary, hoping to find out more about the Isis space in the diary.

Another reason why Xiao Yifei did not leave is that the negotiations here are about to end. As the saying goes, a thousand birds in the forest are better than a bird in hand. Even if there is an Isis space outside, it is the right way to grasp the Osiris space in your hand first.

Sure enough, the negotiations ended at their expected time, and the two parties signed the minutes of the second phase of the negotiations, which meant that their negotiations were completely over, just waiting for the final sale and purchase agreement to be signed. If one of the parties reneges on signing the final agreement, the liquidated damages can be as high as $20 million. After the final sale and purchase agreement is signed, it will be sent to justice, because Bo has already obtained the transaction approval from the relevant departments of the Napa County government, so as long as the justice is completed, this agreement will take effect, and the legal procedures for property transfer can be carried out, which must be the affairs of intermediaries and lawyers, Xiao Yifei only needs to sign.

Of course, this contract is definitely not something that can be done by two people with a big stroke of the pen behind closed doors, in that case, Xiao Yifei will face a lot of trouble after accepting it.

The first, of course, is to appease the staff inside the winery.

Taking over a mature and orderly winery, the most feared thing is that the old employees will change jobs in large numbers, although Xiao Yifei has already talked to the vineyard planting team, the winemaking team, and several senior executives to appease them. In addition, Beau and her wife did not poach a large number of people from the winery, so that there was no wave of resignation from the middle and upper levels, and the integrity of the winery team was maintained.

But that's just the middle and senior management and the core team, and he hasn't touched the others yet. It is a good opportunity to bring everyone together to calm people's hearts.

Xiao Yifei came to the soL hot spring resort where they stayed, and the support of the resort during this time was very strong, and sometimes the team had missed the meal when they returned to the resort, and they also specially cooked for Xiao Yifei and them. Xiao Yifei is very satisfied with their support, and their diet is also a good meal in Calistoga.

Xiao Yifei found the manager.

"Thank you for your support during this time, I am very happy with you."

The manager smiled and said:

"Customer satisfaction is our pleasure."

"I'm going to trouble you next."

"Tell me."

"I need to host 3 banquets with you."

"What are your requirements, how many people?"

"There were more people in the first time, about 80 people, about 20 people in the second time, and more than 30 people in the third time. The specs are as good as possible. ”

"No problem, Mr. Xiao, we will leave a hall for you."

"Okay, please."

Don't look at the usual negotiation and see a few familiar faces, in fact, there are a lot of people in the winery. If you want to maintain the operation of a winery, the vineyard team, the winemaking team, the winery management team, the marketing team, the tasting room team, etc. Including the winery's lawyers and accountants, there are more than 60 people, not counting the seasonal temporary workers who work in the vineyards.

In addition to the winery staff and his own negotiation team, Xiao Yifei also invited some officials from the town of Calistoga. Don't look at Callistoga as a small town, but there are still a lot of civil servants, Xiao Yifei only invited five members of the town council through Bo: town mayor Jack. Kingors, Deputy Mayor Michael. Dunsford, Councillor Placido. Garcia, Gehry. Klaus, Karen. Slather. Among the various departments below, only the town executive James was invited. McCann, Chief of Police Jonathan. Mills, and Charlene Galina, director of the Division of Planning and Construction. As a member of the town's big business, the Monterena winery still brought their wives to the banquet with their faces.

When the people were almost there, Bo first came to the stage and said a few words, thanking everyone for their cooperation over the years, etc., and finally said:

"Now I have the new owner of Monterena, a young man from China, Xiao."

"Hello everyone, I'm Xiao Yifei from China. Recently, everyone knows that Bo and I are in acquisition negotiations, and we are about to sign the final contract, which means that everyone will work for me in the future. ”

"You may have heard some arguments lately that I bought the winery purely with a loan, and there are concerns about whether I will cut back on the winery's expenses or even lay off employees to save money. I want to say that I really don't want to take out a loan, they forced me to take out a loan. ”

At this time, the people below who knew the inside story laughed, and the others also let out a burst of laughter.

"In addition, I can promise everyone that as long as you work hard, I will not fire you, and even wait until the end of the year, I will consider giving some employees a salary increase next year based on everyone's performance."

Sure enough, someone below began to mumble, and most people's faces immediately had a happy color.

"Even if the acquisition is complete, there will be a few months of transition in which we will have a temporary management committee consisting of me, Beau, Brian, Greg, Cameron and David. In addition, in order to reassure Phu Quoc, the winery's finances are regularly audited by KPMG. ”

At that time, when the French bought it, because they had a sound management team of their own, the number of people in the transitional committee winery was small, and Xiao Yifei had no one, so he could only rely on these people to support him.

"I hope that everyone will work hard during this transition period, and I will decide whether to raise my salary next year based on my work."

"Finally, I hope that everyone will support me as much as they support Bo, so that we can work together for a better tomorrow for the winery."

Xiao Yifei first chatted casually with a few employees, including Bo's youngest daughter and assistant winemaker Chelsea, to answer their concerns about wages.

Subsequently, Xiao Yifei went to communicate with the town officials one by one, accompanied by Nala, the public relations and publicity manager of Bohe Winery, and Nala leaned into Xiao Yifei's ear from time to time to briefly introduce the positions and backgrounds of the guests.

Mayor Jack, who has white hair and glasses, looks like a wealthy man, and he is now the head of Napa County's transportation and planning agency, so he doesn't plan to be re-elected as mayor in the next term.

Deputy Mayor Michael's family runs a hotel, named Callistoga Hotel, and Xiao Yifei went to their hotel for a few meals. He was elected as a town councillor in '04 and deputy mayor in '06. I don't know why, Xiao Yifei felt that he looked very much like a villain in an American drama, and the hair on the front of his head was sparse to a handful of hair, making his face look particularly long. According to Beau, he is very eager to run for mayor next year.

"Shaw, welcome to Callisto."

"Thank you, I loved the town, beautiful and peaceful."

After a few more conversations, Xiao Yifei complimented him on the good food in the hotel, and slowly brought the topic to the campaign.

Xiao Yifei can't say anything now, but simply said:

"I am very happy to have someone as capable and leading as you to lead the development of this town."

The two of them ended their first meeting.
