Chapter 144: The Vineyard

Qin Yi came up with this idea, making money came second, mainly to get himself out of this matter, he didn't want to be targeted by this Amanda, otherwise he would always be nagged by her, and he would be annoyed to death.

"That's a good idea!" Sara tried her best to help Qin Yi divert her attention, "Amanda, there are many Chinese tourists on Yi's farm, and there are also many American tourists, so there will definitely be many people who like your styling design at that time." ”

At this time, Miles felt that he couldn't pretend to be dead anymore, it was immoral for Qin Yi to fall into the fire pit just now, and now that things have taken a turn for the better and remain silent, it would be too much of a bastard!

Therefore, he also hurriedly expressed his opinion: "That's right, Amanda, think about it, there are so many tourists there, how many looks can you design every day?" It's so much more convenient than at home! If you have a talent for styling, you should let more people know about it! ”

Amanda listened to the words of the two, and was a little moved, and looked up at Qin Yi, wanting to confirm whether Miles and Sara's words were true.

Qin Yi will not be stupid at this time, so he naturally nodded violently, no matter what, let's pass this level first, and when we get to the ranch, there will always be tourists who want to try to change their shape.

"Aha, Miles, don't think I don't know what you're up to! But since there are so many people waiting for me, well, Yi, when are you going back to the ranch? I'll go with you! Amanda glanced at Miles, with a look that saw through her expression, and then looked at Qin Yi again, a little impatient to go to the ranch.

Sara couldn't stand it anymore, smiled apologetically at Qin Yi, and the little hand under the table pulled Amanda, "Okay, okay, Amanda, Yi still has to go to see the vineyard, you can sort out your harvest first in the past two days, and there will be a lot of people lining up at the ranch for you to design a look." Don't go wrong when the time comes. ”

"You're right, although I'm very confident in my ability, I still have to prepare, it's a sign of respect for the tourists!" Amanda nodded, and then started eating, very fast!

Qin Yi breathed a sigh of relief, a little grateful to Sara for helping him speak, this girl is much more reliable than Miles! As for Miles, hey, brother is kind enough to help you. But you pushed my brother into the fire pit!

I'll give you a "big gift" another day!

Qin Yi glanced at Miles, who was secretly paying attention to his reaction, and the mysterious smile on the corner of his mouth made the old guy feel a sigh in his heart, and he had some bad premonitions! Qin Yi didn't pay much attention to him, and he had to eat lunch and tell Sara some interesting things.

But in this way, Miles is not at ease eating. This guy smiled bitterly in his heart, he was not afraid that Qin Yi would be angry, it was just a little joke between friends, but today he cheated him. As a return gift, Qin Yi will definitely dig a big pit and wait for him to jump another day, and it is obvious from the mysterious smile just now that he knows this!

It's been a few months since Miles worked as a real estate agent and had to deal with all kinds of people. is very accurate in looking at people, although Qin Yi is a little lazy, that is, he is not sociable, but he calculates others. It's also very good and insidious!

Maybe you're calculating yourself at this point!

It seems that you will have to be careful when walking in the future!

But at least it's better than asking Amanda to design a weird look for herself every day, Miles comforts himself psychologically, and at the same time thinks of a countermeasure. How did you get past this hurdle?

Qin Yi took a sip of soup, casually glanced at Miles who was frowning, and saw him unconsciously biting the hamburger, his heart was a little refreshed, Xiaoyi, dare to pit me, I can't eat lunch now!

Sara's big eyes rolled and she smiled, she could guess Miles's worries, Qin Yi's thoughts were also obvious, but she didn't plan to care about it, her friends didn't hurt her feelings, she was happy to watch the fun!

After eating lunch under various thoughts, Amanda immediately ran back to the room, in a hurry, and frankly. Miles washed, and Sara took Qin Yi to visit the villa. At 2 p.m., Zoe was put aside, and Qin Yi and Miles got into work and went to Napa County to investigate.

Sara had nothing to do and went with the two. And she didn't want to stay at home, lest Amanda have some whimsical idea to experiment with herself!

The trio ran for more than an hour on a Ford Explorer and came to Napa Valley.

Napa Valley is known for producing some of the best Cabernet Sauvignon, with particularly good quality vineyards costing $500,000 per acre and $300,000 per acre in general. Therefore, it is not wise for Qin Yi to buy a vineyard here, with spiritual spring water in hand, he can buy a vineyard in a suitable place for growing grapes, and he can produce high-quality grapes!

I came to Napa Valley mainly because Qin Yi wanted to see the famous grape variety Cabernet Sauvignon here. In fact, some of the vineyards selected by Myers are not here, but in Sonoma County, where the grape variety Pinot Noir is also very famous, but the land price is relatively much cheaper, at a maximum of about $180,000 per acre.

However, this is still much higher than Qin Yi's psychological price, fortunately, there are many grape producing areas in California, and the vineyards in Mendocino County are about $60,000 per acre, and the Lodi area is even lower, at $30,000 per acre. Miles told Qin Yi all these things without hiding it in the slightest.

Qin Yi wrote down the name Lodi, and if Lodi's vineyard didn't satisfy him, he would go to Oregon.

Myers does have a few Oregon vineyards that also produce high-quality grapes, but the land price is only about $30,000, and this year's pest infestation in southern Oregon has caused the price of vineyards in the pest area to drop a lot. However, Qin Yi bought the vineyard, and he still had to deal with the pest matter, which was a little troublesome, so it was best to buy it from Luodi.

The three of them went around several vineyards such as ToKalon Vineyard and Fort Ross Vineyard, and tasted several grape varieties such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir, Merlot, Chardonnay, etc., in fact, Qin Yi didn't taste anything, the special wine grapes were bitter and astringent, and sour and tooth-sour!

But the fullness and roundness of the grains can be seen at a glance.

According to vineyard manager John, the price of Cabernet Sauvignon produced in Napa Valley last year was US$6,000 per ton, and the Cabernet Sauvignon produced in Napa Valley reached 67,000 tons.

After gaining some knowledge, Qin Yi and the three of them went to Sonoma County to inspect again, and finally came to the Lodi area. There is a vineyard covering an area of 279 acres that is listed for sale, and Miles has some information in his hand, and Qin Yi is very interested after reading it.

"Yi, if you really want to get involved in the vineyard industry or even the red wine field, it is better to buy a good vineyard, in general, just like the vineyards in the Lodi region, it is basically impossible to produce high-quality wine grapes! Compared to your big ranch, the income of ordinary vineyards is dispensable, and you have to bother to manage it, and you can't afford it! ”

Walking through the vineyard, while he hadn't met the vineyard owner yet, Miles persuaded Qin Yi bitterly. Because Qin Yi thinks that this vineyard is very good, it has the intention of buying.

"I know, Miles, I wasn't impulsive, don't worry!" He knew that Miles was right, that most people who wanted to invest in vineyards, or even get involved in the red wine sector, had to consider Miles' words. But he is not an ordinary person, with the spiritual spring water in hand, ordinary quality grapes also have a time to counterattack!

"Yi, I don't want to make more commissions, I don't want your investment to get in! Otherwise, I don't want a commission for this business, and you think about it again, ordinary vineyards really don't have a big rate of return for you, and they can only trap your liquidity! Miles was a little anxious, he really regarded Qin Yi as a friend, and he didn't want to see his investment fail.

"Don't worry, Miles, I was able to convert the farm into a ranch, and I wasn't afraid that I would lose money by buying a vineyard, or at worst, I would sell it in a few years!" Qin Yi patted him on the shoulder, and was grateful for his persuasion, but the plan could not be said.

Miles was stunned when he heard this, remembering that when Qin Yi renovated the farm, everyone was also down, but in the end, it proved that Qin Yi had a unique vision. Maybe he really had some plans that he couldn't understand.

"Okay then, if you insist."

The vineyard consists of 112 acres of plantations, 80 acres of plantable area, and an estate with winemaking equipment, cellars, storage rooms and more. After visiting them all, and after some bargaining with the vineyard owner, Qin Yi finally bought the vineyard for $8 million.

At this point, the old Qin family's industry touched the vineyard and red wine field. (To be continued......)
