Chapter 499 An Important Part of the Winemaking Process
(Thank you for your friend's diligent pants for the big soup balls, happy Lantern Festival, everyone)
"Andy, are you going over there with us or will you come back in two days?" When Travolta left the next morning, he asked Liu Yunxuan, who had come to see him off.
"It's still two days, since it has been decided to buy Boeing aircraft, let's act early, otherwise we will have to wait a long time if we miss a batch." Liu Yunxuan said with a smile.
Although the BBJ series of aircraft is already a mature model, there are not many people who buy such expensive private jets, and most of them are also for those large companies or guests from the Middle East.
"Well, we'll be waiting for you at the ranch over there." Travolta boarded the plane after saying that.
"Hey, I'm going to have to learn my pilot's license this time." Watching Travolta fly away with the plane in a dashing manner, Liu Yunxuan said in a broken mind.
"Andy, you really have to hurry, you have to book a new plane, and it's time to train." Charlie on the side also said with a smile.
"You can also go, there is time for Jack to come here in the next few days, and he will follow me in the future." Liu Yunxuan slapped Charlie and said.
The head office is located in New York, which is very atmospheric compared to the simplicity of domestic companies. Charlie also has his own reasons.
In the capitalist society of the United States, no matter what kind of cooperation, the strength of a company is valued. And in the future, there will inevitably be branches listed, as a head office too shabby will disappoint shareholders.
Bob, they are actually quite happy, Liu Yunxuan is going to buy a new plane again, and it is better, if nothing else, his three-person crew member will go back to fly the new plane.
Although the same is a private jet. If you can drive better, everyone is willing to do it.
"Alright, Mansour. Let's go to Boeing. Liu Yunxuan said to Mansour with a smile.
It's a shame that there are enough planes, otherwise they would have scattered like this. It's not enough.
Mansour had already contacted him last night that if he wanted to buy a BBJ series of aircraft, he would have to go to Boeing's headquarters in Chicago and would have to go to the Boeing Civil Aircraft Group in Washington state.
Fortunately, Washington and Montana were also very close to each other, and the flight landed on the tarmac of the Boeing Civil Aircraft Group in Renton.
"Hello, Your Highness Mansour, and welcome to our Boeing company. I'm Scott, President and CEO of the Civilian Group? Carson. The man who was waiting to greet him at the plane opened his mouth to introduce himself.
"Hello, Carson. This time it was my friend Andy who was going to buy an aircraft from the BBJ series. You'll prepare the materials in a moment. Mansour nodded.
Mansur didn't care what he said, Liu Yunxuan looked very energetic, and he was also a little envious. Boeing is a global leader in the aerospace industry and the world's largest manufacturer of civil and military aircraft.
But even so, Mansour's casual attitude after he arrived here, as well as the level of the people who came to greet him, can be seen that Mansour is almost the same here, not to mention the flat trip, and the reason why he can enjoy this treatment is that his relatives buy more Boeing planes.
You're spending more. Naturally, the merchant will treat you as a VIP. Boeing is like this here, Gulfstream, Bombardier is the same, I believe it is now going to Airbus. No problem. Because Mansour's Lao Tzu bought their company's Airbus A38O as his personal car.
My capital is still worse than others, and I still have to work hard.
Following Carson to the reception room, Liu Yunxuan and they also enjoyed the VIP service. Because Carson knew that since Mansour had brought him, he didn't run away, let alone almost determine the specific model.
After buying the plane so many times, the whole process came down quickly, and finally Liu Yunxuan chose BBJ3. The reason why he chose this is based on his consistent principles. The cabin is large.
Liu Yunxuan's luck is not bad, with Mansour's connection. It will be delivered in more than half a year, which he did not expect at all.
In fact, this is also Carson's use of privilege. On the basis of the Mansour priority sequence, it is given a little earlier. When chatting just now, I figured out Liu Yunxuan's specific identity.
The owner of Andy's Ranch, the big boss behind the pastoral company, and a rising star among the world's richest people. If such a person doesn't make friends now, he may not have a chance in the future.
The date of delivery of the aircraft was brought forward, but it was also expensive. The sale price was $88.7 million, not counting the later fine-tuning of the brand in terms of interior. But basically the $90 million is gone.
And the delivery was so fast, it also brought some little pressure to Liu Yunxuan, after all, the day of paying the full amount was also advanced, and at first he thought it would take at least more than a year.
When I came, I also checked the internal layout of BBJ3 on the Internet, Michelle looked very satisfied, basically didn't need to move, and it would be good to make some fine-tuning of the accessories at home when the time came.
"Mansour, it's a lot of money." Even if he had already made up his mind, Liu Yunxuan couldn't help but be a little excited when he left.
"You'll have to get used to it later." Mansur smiled and said, "Alright, let's head to your vineyard, I don't drink, but I've heard it's very good." ā
The last time Liu Yunxuan and the others went over, they also took a lot of pictures over there, the scenery of the vineyard is different from the pasture, and it is not very far away, so Mansur moved the idea of going there.
"Mr. Andy, welcome back to you." After arriving at the winery, D said happily.
"Ray, this is my good friend, a member of the Saudi royal family, Mansour, how are you doing, is there something going on here?" Liu Yunxuan asked again after introducing Mansur to D.
D also received a good education when he was young, and he had a lot of etiquette, and only after following Mansur to greet him did he answer Liu Yunxuan, "Mr. Andy, it's very good, the place that should be relocated has been done." Actually, if you don't come, I'll contact you. ā
"What? Do you need money here? Liu Yunxuan asked with some confusion.
"No, Mr. Andy." D shook his head and said, "You said you were going to use oak from the pasture for the barrels of winemaking. Now it's time for us to contact the production workshop in advance, if it's too late, I'm afraid we won't be able to get out. ā
"Ray, can't we do it ourselves? You know, I have a lot of nice cowboys on my ranch. Liu Yunxuan said with a smile. The cowboys on the ranch don't eat and drink for nothing, they're versatile.
"Boss, the oak barrels used for sake brewing are not the same as ordinary barrels." D patiently explains, "In the Old World winemaking process, oak barrels were a crucial part of the process. ā
"A good bottle of wine is like a fine work of art. Any wine that has been aged in oak barrels will not only have the characteristics of the grapes, the aroma of the varietal and the aroma of the wine, but also give the drinker a distinctive aroma that will fascinate the drinker. "That's why I prefer old-world winemaking." ā
D's words made Liu Yunxuan and Mansur confused, anyway, they also knew that this oak barrel was very important.
"Ray, just tell me what to do, I don't understand these things anyway." Liu Yunxuan said with a wry smile.
"In fact, the process of making oak barrels is also very complicated." D explained with a smile, "There are also many specifications and models. However, most people choose Bordeaux-type 225-litre barrels, because they fill just 3oo bottles. Of course, there are other models, you can choose according to your preferences. ā
"We also have to determine the process of roasting during the production process, and the oak barrels that have been roasted moderately will give the wine a more intense and attractive aroma. Depending on the barrel in which the wine is roasted, the taste of the wine will be different. ā
d also saw that Liu Yunxuan didn't understand the knowledge here at all, so he simply explained it carefully.
"Mr. Andy, I would actually like to build yƬ you choose French oak to make oak barrels." D said that at the end, he smiled and said, "Many of the top wineries also use French oak. ā
"Don't worry, Ray, you'll know how good the oak in our pasture is." Liu Yunxuan patted D's shoulder and said. ā
"Anyway, you are responsible for these things, you go to the manufacturer to make the oak barrels yourself, you just need to tell me how much wood I need to provide you, and when to provide it to you. I still don't participate in such a professional thing. When the time comes, you can get me some kegs and keep them for me. ā
D said so much just now, and the explanation is detailed enough, but there are still too many things involved here, and I haven't been exposed to it before, anyway, D can understand these things, and it's better to leave them to him.
D smiled and nodded, he was also very happy that Liu Yunxuan trusted him so much, it was much better than Old Harris pointing fingers when he was fine.
"Ray, how are our vines? Is there any improvement now? When he followed D inside, Liu Yunxuan asked again.
"Mr. Andy, it looks pretty good now, the vines are a little thicker since the fertilizer was used." D nodded and said, "But the specific effect depends on the situation of the fruit next year." ā
No matter how good the vine is to produce grapes, it is also blind, and all the grapes have to be picked next year.
Hearing D say this, Liu Yunxuan had a little bottom in his heart, it seems that the space water and fertilizer are still working. That's good, when the time comes, the combination of your own oak barrels and wine will definitely change in an unexpected way. (To be continued)
