"Robert, how big is our winery?" While on the plane to Napa Valley Airport in California, Liu Yunxuan asked Robert beside him. ＝＝＝＝

After coming back, he only knew that Charlie and they had taken over the winery, and he really didn't know much about the size and actual situation of the winery, but he just listened to Charlie's simple words.

Yesterday afternoon, I also went to the hospital to visit Wang Minghua and his wife, Liu Yun's condition is very good, the fetal position is also normal, and I am very happy to see Liu Yunxuan and their arrival.

If it weren't for Liu Yunxuan's fact that they still had to go to the winery to take a look today, she would have thought about keeping Michelle there to accompany her for a few days, and the care she received in the hospital would be good, but it would be boring after a long time.

"Less than 2o hectares in area." Robert said without raising his head, still focusing on the material in his hand about the ranches in Australia.

"Why is it so small?" Liu Yunxuan asked with some confusion. One hectare is less than 2.5 acres, which is not enough for 5o acres.

When he came to the United States, the smallest ranch he saw was more than 15o acres, so he was a little disappointed when he heard about this area.

"If you can give us another $20 million, we'll be able to expand our area." Robert glanced at Liu Yunxuan and said angrily, "It's still bought at a low price of $50,000 per hectare from Old Harris." ”

"There's a lot of land here because the government won't open the vineyards anymore and there's a shortage of vineyards. Now the most suitable area for growing vines is over $3 million a hectare. And it has been showing an upward trend, this winery is that you don't want to run it yourself, and you can make a profit if you sell it. ”

"And there are a lot of people who come here to invest. They are also all rich, and they are not there to make money at all. I just thought about making dozens of cases of wine named after me and giving them to my friends to taste. By the way, especially in Asia, there are a lot of investors, and Yao, the big man in China, also has a winery here. ”

"Hehe, don't I know much about the situation here?" Liu Yunxuan said with some embarrassment.

It was the first time he had seen Robert say such a long paragraph in one breath, and it seemed that his Xiaobai question really made him angry.

He was also surprised. It is really a famous wine producing area, and the price of the land is really enough.

But when he drove through the Napa Valley, he felt that the land here was expensive, and it was really worth the price.

As far as the eye can see, there are rolling vineyards, through which you can also see the old buildings of those famous wineries, many of which are hundreds of years old, with a classical wind and frost in a green landscape.

As soon as I walked into my winery, I felt a chill hit me, and thick climbing vegetation passed through the air. It stretches from the manor's entrance to the parking lot, keeping the heat out.

"Yunxuan, the scenery here is really good. It gives the feeling of returning to the prehistoric world. Michelle took Liu Yunxuan's arm and said with emotion.

"Now this winery is okay except for the basic facilities, and nothing else is enough." Robert explained on the side.

When they came to take over with Charlie earlier, they were also very amazed by the charming scenery here. But after tasting the wines made by the winery over the years, they didn't know what to say.

It can be said that the wines produced by this winery are not at all worthy of the grade of Napa Valley, and the manager of the winery told them at the time, completely unaware of the situation. The winemaker is also a well-known winemaker hired by Harris Sr. with a high salary, and even the vines have been changed twice. The vines are now bearing fruit the following year, but the quality is not very good either.

Liu Yunxuan and they also met the winemaker of the winery, whose name was Ray Touch, and to Liu Yunxuan's surprise, it turned out to be a Chinese winemaker, which is rare. Although it was the first time to meet. It also gives birth to a lot of closeness.

"Ray, why do you think the quality of our winery's red wine is so poor?" Liu Yunxuan asked after chatting for a while.

The original manager has been taken away by Harris Sr., and now it is Raymond and some workers who are running the winery together.

"Boss, I think it's the soil and the water quality." Ray thought about it for a moment and said, "I've been here for five years. From the original ambition to the current exploration and decryption, we are also looking for the reason. ”

"There are three types of grapes grown in our winery, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc, but each one is not so ideal, so I think it's because of the variety of soils we have here."

At the beginning, he was also a budding in the winemaking industry and was poached by the old Harris, he has always wanted to make delicious red wine, but the grapes here are not good, the taste of the wine is not as good as a year, he follows the French old world winemaking process, but every time he opens a barrel, he is sad, and now he is a little disheartened.

"How's it going this year? Is it brewed? Liu Yunxuan asked again.

"It's already started, and it's being macerated now." Ray replied.

"Then we won't brew this year, and the previous brews will be discarded." Liu Yunxuan said categorically, "Our pastoral series of products must conquer customers with the best quality. ”

"The most important thing for us now is to improve the quality of the soil, and see if our organic fertilizer and earthworms can surprise us when the time comes."

After hearing Liu Yunxuan's words, Ray was also shocked, even if the quality of the red wine is not so good, it is also relative to other wineries here, the output of these years can be sold for a sum of money even if it is processed at a low price.

I didn't expect this new boss to plan to fall all over, I really don't know if he is too rich or too willful. But he is the boss, what people tell us, we will do it, as long as it is a lot of his own salary.

"Ray touch, I don't know if you're familiar with the brewing process of the New World?" Liu Yunxuan continued to ask.

"Yes, in fact, the distinction between the old and the new is also very blurry, and I have been exposed to it at the beginning." "It's just that I personally prefer the old-world feel of handmade brewing." ”

Liu Yunxuan nodded and said, "That's good, after the grape improvement is completed next year, we will also introduce equipment in advance to operate two sets of winemaking methods at the same time." ”

"If it's ideal, we'll be able to taste delicious wines next year, and we'll keep the old-world methods for ourselves."

"By the way, when the time comes, the oak barrels will also be replaced, and there are oak trees in my pasture, so let's make a new batch and start all over again."

Your own oak tree is not an ordinary oak tree, the space water improves the grapes, and the new oak barrels improve the quality, then the future wine will definitely not be bad.

Ray was also infected by Liu Yunxuan's enthusiasm, and once again ignited his fighting spirit. His boss is willing to invest, what are he afraid of.

Although he didn't know why this new boss was so confident that it would take a year to solve the problems that the old Harris and himself had not solved for several years.

And the reason why Liu Yunxuan is so confident is that he still relies on his space, he doesn't believe that with the help of space water and organic fertilizer, he can't make high-quality wine.

And the reason why he proposed to use two sets of brewing techniques, one is to taste it next year, as he said, and the main thing is to try to recover the funds of kuài.

Robert also gave him some knowledge of winemaking when he came, knowing that this old-world method of wine would be aged in oak barrels for a period of time, and this time would take more than a year, or even several years, and he could not afford to wait.

"Boss, I wonder if the workers in the winery need to adjust?" Ray asked with concern.

He was also asked by the workers he knew well, and if the new boss wanted to bring his own people over, they should prepare in advance.

"No, they've been working for a long time, and they must be familiar with the work of the winery, so let's continue." Liu Yunxuan said with a smile, "For the time being, you don't need to make wine, and the affairs of the winery will be all left to you." If there is any equipment that needs to be purchased at that time, you can directly report it. ”

"Okay, I'll thank the boss on their behalf." Ray touched the nd and said happily. Although the old Harris's winery is not profitable, it is better to have a leisurely job and a stable salary, and it is really difficult to find a place for those workers to find a place temporarily.

"By the way, you tell everyone to just work hard. No matter what part of the industry of our company has benefits, there will be a lot of bonuses for everyone. Liu Yunxuan continued.

"Sue them, our red wine will definitely be brewed successfully next year, let them get ready to get red envelopes."

"And don't pour the good ones elsewhere, just pour them in the vineyard, and maybe the vines will thank us for feeding them back like this." After talking, Liu Yunxuan said jokingly.

It's also interesting to hear from him, and it's the first time I've heard of such feedback.

"Yun Xuan, see if we can repair the building here, and we can bring everyone over to taste wine in the future." Seeing that the matter was finished, Michelle, who had not spoken, spoke.

"Madam, there is no problem with this, and the workers of our winery can do it well." Ray said with a smile on the side.

"Ray touches nd, you don't have to be so polite." Liu Yunxuan waved his hand, "Just follow Robert, just call me and my wife's names." ”

The same race, coupled with the status of a winemaker, Liu Yunxuan was also very polite to him, and he didn't want to spend any more money to hire a winemaker.

Although the old Harris is not very good, his vision is still good, otherwise he would not have done so well in the past few years. (To be continued......)
