Chapter 241 Investing in a winery

Wei Da's pressure is not small, and the performance of several little guys in the family is a little worrying, and they are all a little unreliable, which also sounds a wake-up call for Wei Da. Although "Shennong Jing" is very magical, Wei Da's understanding of it is not particularly deep, so this has also caused some little ones in the family to make a little mistake in the process of growing up, and they have not developed in the most ideal direction of Wei Da.

Wei Da felt that he now needed to dig deep into the essence of the Shennong Sutra, and he needed to grasp this magical inheritance more and more thoroughly. Wei Da knew that his ability was relatively average, he was not a top student, and he did not have the ability to remember. Although Wei Da has indeed invested in some research institutes, there are still some shortcomings, and what he needs is to do better.

Touching his pocket, it is true that there is not much money to continue to invest in the research institute now; Keeping a little money in his hand is a spare fund that can't be moved, although many people like to use their property as a mortgage, but Wei Da is unwilling to do this as a last resort, although he believes in his ability to repay, but he just doesn't want to. As for the remaining 10 million or so, this is reserved for the purchase of wine estates, but it may not be enough.

"What should I do, the money is a little bit insufficient. I calculated that I would get 20 million, and the two of us would only get 15 or 6 million, which is not enough? Why don't you wait until you have more money next year? Wang Ye was also a little sad.

He has been preparing for more than half a year to invest in a wine estate with Wei Da, and he has also prepared all the funds of five or six million. There is even a mortgage on some assets here, and now Weida's funds are not in place, which is also a thing that makes people laugh and cry. Of course, Wang Ye knew that Wei Da was rich. It's just that he knows that Wei Da spends money a lot; Buying a new huge ranch is burning money, and now there is such an accident, which makes people feel helpless.

"It's a big deal to come up with a little spare funds, you can't be prepared for half a year and still carry the high interest rate of the bank. It's true that I don't have much money in my hand, but I should still be able to pull out the old book. Wei Da, who had a headache, felt that he was almost going to use his spare funds, which could actually be used in this regard.

"Forget it, what you kid is most afraid of is taking risks, if your spare funds are invested in this. I see you can't sleep well. Wang Ye also knows Wei Da's character, and it is definitely unrealistic if he does not leave some spare funds, after all, Wei Da now has a big business. Not only do newly bought ranches cost money, but even ranches and research laboratories cost money, and Wei Da has a lot of spare funds that actually cost a large part of the reason.

"Otherwise, we still pull Eduardo and them in, in fact, even if we have enough 20 million, it is estimated that it will be tight. After all, it's not about buying land. Labor costs and the like are still required. Does anyone on our side know how to make wine, and the wages of good winemakers are very high, not to mention that I am still planning to make some new grapes again. The two of them sat on the lawn basking in the sun, and Wei Da, who had a headache, felt that it seemed that Eduardo and them were the only way to bring them in.

Speaking of which, Wei Da has no resistance to some products and other people's cooperation, he knows that he can't make all the money alone, not to mention that Wei Da is a lazy person, he feels that he needs to find some partners. Eduardo: They are actually quite reliable, people who know their roots, and they don't have too many ambitions. They are very satisfied with making money. This is a very good partner to work with, and Wei Da feels that he can pull them along.

"I don't think it's reliable. It is basically impossible for our vineyards to make a profit in a year or two, and several of them want to make money quickly, and it is difficult to rely on them to invest! Wang Ye also knows Eduardo and several of them very well, these rich second generations want to earn pocket money, they don't necessarily have so much money to invest in wine estates, but also because these guys don't have so much patience.

"It's okay if these guys are unreliable, I still know a few rich people. Eduardo's dad is good, although this guy is very enthusiastic about investment, but basically he will not reach out indiscriminately. Let's contact him to see, if the conditions can be satisfied, then everyone will cooperate, if it really doesn't work, the two of us will be fine, I still don't believe it! Wei Da is also ruthless, Eduardo is not reliable, but the father of the senior investor Eduardo is more reliable.

California accounts for almost all of the U.S. wine production and is the fourth-largest wine region in the world; California's extremely diverse soils and microclimates allow for the cultivation of a wide variety of grapes. From the rugged mountains to the open plains of the Central Valley, different soils produce grapes with different flavors.

Weida and they have actually chosen the place, which is in the Napa Valley in northern California; In fact, there is no valley here, it is just a vast rolling hill. The Mediterranean-like microclimate, rich and diverse soils and patchwork of terrain make this treasure land rich in soft, fruity wines of a quality unmatched by most other climates.

Wei Da and Wang Ye had already begun to slowly drive a small golf cart along the mountain path, and from time to time there were birdsong that seemed to be far and near; The fruity and bouquet that permeates the reboot is mouth-watering. Although the grape harvest season is now past the time to pick, the people who look at the glucose and the warm sun are also a little drowsy.

"The environment here is really good, and it's definitely fun to live here." Wei Da thinks that life on a wine estate in California should be very comfortable, romantic and comfortable, full of laid-back atmosphere, like a painting, like a glass of red wine, which needs to be savored slowly.

"You?" Wang Ye glanced at Wei Da in astonishment, and then said with great disdain, "Your life is not suitable for wine, and slowly tasting is not suitable for you." Wine is not for you, I think you should have some old white dry or other liquor, Texas is your territory. Horseback riding, hunting, that's yours. Don't pretend to be literary and artistic for me, I have already seen through your heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys! ”

There is nothing to communicate with a bad friend like Wang Ye. This guy is a complete-stirring stick, and all he has left is to blow people except to spoil the atmosphere. So this guy still shouldn't have too high expectations for him, Wei Da thinks that he just enjoys this, as for Wang Ye's poisonous tongue, let him say go, Wei Da is going to ignore it.

"Old Andy's Winery is one of the best wine estates in California, as you may have seen. The soil is ideal for grape growing. The soil here is sandy, the climate is dry, free of pests and diseases; Moreover, the effective accumulated temperature is high, the sunshine is sufficient, and the temperature difference between day and night is large. This facilitates the rapid accumulation of sugars. Trust me, Old Andy Winery is a great investment, and it will give you great gains. "The winery agent is recommending it hard, and it's actually really good here. Although wine estates are expensive. But if it weren't for Wei Da, they were very demanding, and the money in their hands would actually be about the same.

"It's a good place, but we need to keep looking. You know, it's an investment of more than 10 million dollars, and we have to be careful. Wei Da and Wang Ye have actually inspected several wineries, but for this winery of almost more than 500 acres, a very good wine estate.

"Sir, the price quoted by Old Andy Winery is twenty-three million dollars." The agent knew that Weida wanted a counteroffer. So he wanted to remind Wei Da a little, after all, Wei Da's counteroffer was a little too strong.

"Twenty-three million dollars?" Wei Da looked at the agent amusedly. He felt that the price was an unreasonable offer, "Maybe you know that the rich people in China are very rich, but don't think that we don't know this. I have more than 30,000 acres of ranch, right here in Texas, and my racehorse stands on the Triple Crown, and Chiji is my partner. So don't say those jokes that make people feel ridiculous, it's not funny at all. ”

"Twenty-three million dollars? You go find the next buyer, and I think if I'm willing to shell out twenty-three million dollars, we can buy a very high 1,000-acre winery, and it's a little bit higher. Guys, no one is stupid, we're not, and neither are you. Show your sincerity, and everyone will be happy. Wang Ye was also very unhappy, at this time, these guys still wanted to trap people, which was quite insincere.

"Gentlemen, Andy Sr. Winery is one of the best wineries in California, and it has the longest history," the agent said again, but Weida and the others directly interrupted the guy.

"If Old Andy Winery had been so popular, I think more people would have been willing to take over, but I don't think anyone would be able to accept that price right now. So the price we offered was fifteen million dollars, including the wine in the cellar. Employees we will stay, it's that simple! "Wei Da's counteroffer is very powerful, since they have made a price all over the sky, then Wei Da naturally paid back the money on the ground.

"No, no, gentlemen. Not including the wine in the cellar, the price of 20 million is a very reasonable price! "Wei Da's counteroffer is indeed too ruthless, not to say that the agent can't accept it, even the owner of the winery can't accept it.

In fact, such a winery is sold, either the owner of the winery is short of money, or the winery is not profitable, and now since someone is selling, then it is a matter of price. Wei Da didn't think that his bid would make this deal fall out all of a sudden, anyway, there would definitely be a slow tug-of-war, and Wei Da felt that it was within the price range he could afford.

After a little inspection of the winery, I was basically satisfied; But now Wei Da and they also need to start pulling funds, since everyone invests together, Wei Da feels that old Eduardo still needs to be impressed, this guy is a rich man, and he also likes to invest very much, there is no reason to let him go, because Wei Da and Wang Ye understand that their funds are still under some pressure to take this winery.

"Amp, how are you thinking about it? We're in California right now, a nice winery. I thought you might be able to come over and take a look at the plan that if you think it's worth investing in, we need to do an acquisition. It's okay if you don't want to, it gives us more time to prepare. Wei Da was not ambiguous, since he and Wang Ye had made up their minds to buy the winery, then they couldn't let old Eduardo think about it slowly, because Wei Da didn't have much time to waste.

"It's big business, and I have to be careful. Da, your proposal is very exciting, and your research on crops is also very good. I have a high level of interest, but I need to check it out, even though I don't understand it. "Amp. Eduardo, although he was very hesitant, was also very moved; Investing is risky, and he needs to be more cautious, which is why he can be a rich man. (To be continued......)
