Chapter 911: Rather lack than abuse
(Thanks to my friend for the encouragement of the sheep breed)
The formalities were processed quickly. Sotheby's International Real Estate does this, and the information is very well prepared, adding some terms of the agreement, Liu Yunxuan's signature, and the check is done.
As for the rest of the things like filing with the wine association and changing the name of the winery, there is no rush for this, and when I come back from Chile, barrister Ning Yulong will be able to help handle it all.
"Xuanzi, did you say that at your level, this transaction will be so happy?" On the plane to the ranch, Wang Minghua looked at Liu Yunxuan and asked with interest.
3.5 million US dollars, 20 million soft sister coins, this effort will be spent in a circle. Anyway, Wang Minghua himself felt that he had to think about it again.
"Brother Minghua, you are not only buying a vineyard, but also a real estate investment." Liu Yunxuan said with a smile.
"The most expensive vineyard in the world right now is the Grand Cru in Burgundy, where it sells for 10 million euros a hectare. And the price in one or three years is only about 4 million euros a hectare, which is how much it has doubled. ”
"Indeed, prices in these famous wine regions have been on an upward trend over the years. In a word, more and more people are investing in this industry. Raymond also said with emotion on the side.
"The vineyards in the top wine regions are already limited, and they can only be sold less and less, and now you can buy vineyards in Burgundy if you have the money."
"So more investors are looking elsewhere. Prices in Napa Valley have continued to grow over the years, and the price of a good vineyard is in the hundreds of thousands of dollars a hectare. ”
"So I think as long as there's a vineyard for sale in Napa Valley, we'll eat it. The quality of Napa Valley wines is improving year by year, and many wines are awarded every year. ”
"Maybe in a few years, the price of vineyards here will be comparable to that of the Porto region of France. Even if there is a price difference, it must not be too bad. ”
Wang Minghua nodded, he understood what Raymond meant. He just plays with real estate, so it would be good not to treat these vineyards as vineyards, but as the land resources of those areas to be developed.
Just like those first-tier cities in China. There is less and less land that can be developed, so it can only be developed in the surrounding suburbs. Can accumulate over time. Land prices in the surrounding suburbs will also increase wildly.
Because there are so many people, you can only go further. The last suburban area has already become a prosperous area.
In the same way, the wine region is full and that's it. Compared with the gradually prosperous suburban areas of Napa Valley, after the development of this area is over, I am afraid that it will also reach the point where it is difficult to find a place.
"In fact, with our participation, it may accelerate the increase in land prices in Napa Valley's vineyards." Raymond said with some cryptography.
"Haha, it depends on your efforts. If you don't work hard, I'm afraid it's enough. Liu Yunxuan said with a smile.
"What kind of dumb riddle are you two playing?" Listening to the conversation between the two, the fat man said a little confused.
"Haha. Zhao Yan. Looks like you're going to have to work out a bit, or you'll have to be left behind in the near future. Bei Yi patted the fat man on the shoulder and said.
His relationship with Zhao Yan is not as bad as Liu Yunxuan's, and everything is straightforward.
"You get it? Let's talk about it. "The fat man doesn't mind either. Originally, I had a thinner foundation than these people, and I was very satisfied with my current achievements.
"Didn't you notice what they said, how many Grand Cru wineries are on the Burgundian side, if Xuanzi buys more vineyards here in Napa Valley, will there be more Grand Cru wineries here in the future?" Bei Yi put his arm around the fat man's shoulders and said seductively.
Hear Bei Yi say this. The fat man finally figured out what they were up to.
The vineyards in Napa Valley are not particularly large, and they are very good at transforming vineyards.
The current Angela winery is a good example. Go back two years. You just made Raymond want to break his head, and he couldn't imagine that the original winery had a counterattack after Liu Yunxuan took over, and the ugly duckling turned into a white swan.
As Liu Yunxuan takes over more wineries, the quality of wine here improves faster and better. At that time, the land here will not be land, it will be money.
"Well, it's just that the whole area of our French vineyard is too big. Otherwise, if you implement this plan over there, you will get more gains. Liu Yunxuan said with some regret.
Hearing Liu Yunxuan's words, Raymond almost sat down in the chair, he didn't expect Liu Yunxuan to dare to think so.
How big are the vineyards in the south of France? Although it is not a famous production area in France, it is the largest. If you get it all down. That's not a winery, that's a wine kingdom.
"Ray, don't get so excited, it's just a joke. Even if I want to buy it, people may not be willing to sell it. Didn't you also say that many French people are now resisting foreigners investing in wineries there? Liu Yunxuan looked at Raymond's exaggerated reaction and said angrily.
Isn't he just making a little joke, why is his reaction so big?
"Andy, ask everyone, do they think you're joking?" Raymond sat down and said angrily.
Liu Yunxuan looked at everyone, but no, everyone was shaking their heads, and they were deeply skeptical about whether Liu Yunxuan was joking, especially the fat man's head shook the most.
Everyone knows Liu Yunxuan's love for the land. With the development of the enterprise, if Liu Yunxuan really has that determination and acquires some every year, this matter will not be successful.
"Hey, the idea is tempting. people, the operation is too difficult. And there are so many vineyards, and we have too many wines, so when the time comes, we will be bidding with ourselves. After Liu Yunxuan clicked his mouth, he also drove this idea out of his mind.
No matter how good the wine is produced at home, it is too difficult to sell it at a high price as long as it is overflowing. It is not only the quality that determines the value of the product, but also the quantity.
Only those few but fine products will always stand at the top of the pyramid and make people keep chasing after them. The fact that red wine is selling so fast in restaurants now has nothing to do with the fact that the stock number is getting smaller and smaller.
The psychology of many consumers is like this, they don't buy when there are many things, and when there are fewer things and the price increases, they rush to buy them.
"It's great, as much as I love making wine and taking care of the vineyards, but if you really have such a large area, I can't guarantee the quality of the wine that I will make every time I make it." Raymond let out a sigh of relief.
Just now, he was really worried that Liu Yunxuan would build a few more vineyards in other parts of France under the rise, in that case, he would have to be exhausted to death. If it were so easy to make wine, there would be no famous winemaker in the world.
"By the way, what are you going to do with our newly acquired vineyard?" Raymond asked.
When he was in the vineyard, he had already mentioned to Liu Yunxuan that the quality of the grapes here was worse than that in his own vineyard, which implied that it was difficult to make such a good quality wine even if he used these grapes to make wine this year.
Although this vineyard is under his care, he still has to ask Liu Yunxuan's opinion on this matter.
"When all the grapes in Chile are finished, you can find a way to sell all these grapes when you go back." Isn't it a good vintage this year, I think there will be a lot of people buying grapes over there, and we can sell them at a good price. Liu Yunxuan said with a smile.
"In the future, our principle is that we would rather lack than abuse. As long as the wine is brewed, the best will be brewed, and if the quality of the grapes of the year is not good, we will deal with it all, and we will not smash our own signboard for those little money. ”
All in all, the cost of making wine is also very high. Artificial, oak barrels, these are not cheap. In particular, the oak barrels in this pasture are now used in one batch and one less batch. If you want to wait for the new oak to be completed, it will take more than ten years.
Raymond reminded himself last time, now you can pay more attention, use less if you can, and waste it is even more terrible.
Raymond nodded, he estimated that Liu Yunxuan also meant the same. The wine industry is not as inexperienced as it used to be, after all, a very good wine has been launched.
And this is also very good, at least you can get back some of the funds, and you don't have to apply for grants from your old managers Charlie and Robert.
Liu Yunxuan gave him the autonomy to apply for grants, but it's not the same thing to ask for money. He hoped that the vineyards would be renovated soon, and although he didn't like the winemaking process of the New World so much, he could only rely on this to recoup some money.
When the plane landed at the ranch, Xiao Fangfang and the others were already waiting here.
In the past two days, I have been watched and studied by the tutors, and there is a lot less time to play. It makes them a little uncomfortable when they are already crazy.
"Dada, can you take us abroad tomorrow?" Seeing Liu Yunxuan get off the plane, Xiao Fangfang hurriedly ran forward and asked.
"You're still thinking about playing. Just this time, you have to study hard in the future, otherwise your homework will fall more and more. Liu Yunxuan pointed at Fangfang's small brain and said.
Anyway, it won't be too long to go to Chile this time, and it's okay to take these little ones with you.
After returning to the main house in the ranch, Liu Yunxuan naturally took a beating from Liu's mother again. Michelle was in a hurry, and she had to run around with her.
Fortunately, the doctors here are also checking Michelle at any time, this physical index is very good, plus Liu Yunxuan's plane is relatively comfortable, and it can withstand this flight.
The arrival of Bei Yi and Li Xinyue also helped to share some of Liu's mother's attention, which allowed Liu Yunxuan to rub his somewhat painful arm that was pinched by Liu's mother and escaped. (To be continued......)
