Chapter 722: Buying a Winery

Grandpa Zhang smiled: "I knew you had a way, and you wouldn't hurry up if you didn't force you." Wuyang, you are now a senior cadre, your identity is different, this matter has nothing to do with you, if you dig up cultural relics, none of them will be sold, they will all be used as cultural relics in the museum's collection, and you can also let historians study them. ”

Wuyang smiled, "Grandpa, this kind of transnational tomb robbery is indeed not something I can participate in." ”

"What transnational tomb robbery? It was originally a country, those cultural relics, that is, the cultural relics of our country's Yuan Dynasty, now the things of the Yuan Dynasty except porcelain, basically nothing, if we can excavate and unearth, we will build a museum in the capital, grandly exhibited. ”

"Grandpa, that's a good idea. Not long ago, Uncle Yu bought a piece of land between the second and third rings of the capital, which was originally owned by the Yihe City Office in Beijing, with about 12 acres, and Uncle Yu also discussed with the local government and residents to build a high-rise building to replace the old house next to it, and also vacate about 8 acres of land, which happened to have not yet determined the use. ”

"What were you going to buy it for?"

"Originally, I was going to build a jewelry city, but before this land was in hand, Boss Qiu and they had already found another land, partnered with Peng Yan, and made a larger scene, which was easy to form a climate, so I didn't want it."

Grandpa Zhang said: "Then leave it to me, I will build it into a big museum, exhibit the cultural relics of various dynasties, and make it the most museum in China." ”

"Good. Grandpa, to be honest, I'm not interested in this museum that we built in Heyuan, it's located in a corner. It's not a big name in the collecting world. Ticket revenues simply can't feed museums. The porcelain I am going to imitate can only be auctioned by an unrecognizable auction house, and the business will definitely not be prosperous. If you rely on this big museum, it will definitely be different. ”

Grandpa Zhang smiled: "You even started an imitation business?" Are you crazy about money? ”

"No, it's just going with the trend and keeping up with the times. People specialize in selling imitations, so let's sell them real and fake. These imitations can't be tested anyway, so let's find some experts to identify and issue certificates, and the income will be used to maintain the museum's expenses. ”

"I'm worried you're dead. In fact, since ancient times, the collecting world has been muddy and sandy, and as long as we don't set up a trap, we will be at ease. However, our real good cultural relics and unique products still have to be collected in the museum of Heyuan. This time, I got back more than 120,000 cultural relics in Europe, which can be regarded as a big bargain. ”

"How much did you spend?"

"A little more than 2 billion euros were spent on cash, mainly in exchange for yellow and purple cui, and yellow and purple cui from the processing plant. It's basically all used up. ”

"What is the value of these artifacts?"

"Let me tell you that, if it's in another museum. Many of them can be called the treasures of the town. Some bronzes, calligraphy and painting works, the value is more than 50 million, there are more than 3,000 pieces of this kind of cultural relics, the value is between 1 million and 50 million, there are more than 20,000 pieces, and the rest are some porcelain, ivory carving, enamel, folding fans and other cultural relics, each of which is not less than 200,000. ”

"Grandpa, how can you get so many cultural relics?"

"You don't know, some private museums, basements are full of Chinese cultural relics, they don't know their value, as long as they talk happily, it is possible to give it away for free, but I didn't let them give it away for free, I like jadeite for jade, I give money for money, in short, to make people happy. This time, you asked me to come back and take care of the boss's body, otherwise there are several more to trade. ”

"Then you'll go back next year."

"Of course, you still have to go, but maybe with the heating up of Chinese cultural relics, the cost will be much higher in the future, and you also have to prepare some yellow and purple cui for Xiaobao to carve out."

"Grandpa, with my ability, I can see the jadeite inside the wool, but I can't see what color is inside, this thing is not easy to do."

"It's really not good, just cut the inside of the processing plant hall and carve it, and you can make up for it when you encounter it later."

"Then I'd better look for it in the valley of Stone Villa, I really don't use it anymore. Grandpa, let's go over now, I'll give the map to Minbo, and I'll have to go to Stone Villa to find Huang Cui and Zi Cui. ”

Grandpa Zhang got up and walked out of the door, "Wuyang, I originally wanted to buy a few estates this time, but no one made a move, and only 3 wineries were acquired. ”

"What did you do when you bought the winery?"

"I bought it for you, not for anything, but to see that several wineries are century-old wineries, the area of grape cultivation is more than 3,000 hectares, the vines grow very well, all have thick bowls, the grapes are good varieties of Cabernet Sauvignon, and the price is cheap, only 50 million euros. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, if it weren't for the economic downturn, and with so much money, you wouldn't be able to buy such a winery. ”

Wuyang was a little crying and laughing, "Grandpa, you helped me buy the winery, how can I manage it?" ”

"You don't have to manage it, I've arranged it all. The winery's cellar has a collection of wine that has been in store for several years, and they will deliver it next year. The managers, winemakers, workers there are all ready-made, and I've left the expenses that need to be left and you don't have to worry about anything. The only flaw is that although these wineries are in the main production areas, they are not very famous, and the wines produced are relatively low, and a bottle of wine can be sold for less than 10 euros. ”

"So what did you buy it for?"

"But when these wines are shipped to China, the price of each bottle is more than five times the original price. For example, the rice wine worth two euros over there can be sold for more than 100 yuan in China, and the profit is not low. These 3 wineries, each cellar, have a lot of wine, I calculate, 15 tons of oak barrels 12,000, 10 tons of oak barrels 30,000, 30,000 tons of 3 tons of oak barrels, 30,000 tons of 1 ton, a total of 600,000 tons, according to 0.75 kilograms of a bottle, can be filled with 800 million bottles, according to 100 yuan per bottle. It can be sold for 80 billion yuan. That's almost 10 billion euros. ”

Wuyang felt that Grandpa Zhang had already bought a winery. I could only help him, and said with a smile: "Grandpa, can you think of a way to let our winery associate with those more famous wine companies?" ”

"What kind of joint venture law?"

"These European wines have the same sweetness of the grapes, the method of making them is similar, and the taste should be similar. The reason why the price difference is so big is mainly that some companies will advertise and enter the Chinese market relatively early, and the Chinese people agree with them. These work, after our efforts, can be compensated, but it will take a long time, so we can go to our original producers and ask them to guide the production process such as brewing and storage to meet their product standards. Use their product name and packaging and give them a certain trademark royalty. ”

Grandpa Zhang said, "How can that be done?" Nowadays, European famous wines are not easy to sell. How could they agree to use their trademark? ”

"You can sign a contract with them like this, our own wine, all sold by us, and their wine, we still buy as much as it used to, and even increase the amount of purchase, and they will definitely agree."

"Wuyang, in the past, the company bought a lot of their wine, but now our own production is so large, it is already very difficult to sell, how can we increase the purchase volume? Could it be that we all buy it back and collect it? ”

"Grandpa, now the domestic wine sales are growing rapidly, and it is not a problem for our hotels to increase by tens of thousands of tons, if this high-end wine is also sold to the outside world, the sales volume can increase a lot. In case it just can't be sold, we have such a strong economic strength, and it is not impossible to collect some in the warehouse. If you look at the wines we produce in China, we have worked so hard to grow the vines, but the price just can't go up, where can we compare to selling imported wines? ”

Grandpa Zhang smiled: "Okay, since you said so, I'll discuss it with them next year." If we are going to sell 100 yuan of wine, from yuan to euros, then the profit is very considerable. ”

"Grandpa, if we want to do it, of course we have to do a profitable business. However, you should keep these wineries and give them to your uncle to inherit in the future, I don't want them. ”

"Wuyang, it's not a question of whether you want it or not, these are originally yours, neither I nor my little uncle will want them, and we won't want any of those cultural relics. I accepted you to practice martial arts at that time, that is, I hoped to carry forward my martial arts, but I didn't expect you to make such a big scene, you gave Mengqi and their brothers so much money and cultural relics, and also gave so much money to the young grandmother, which is enough for them to live. If I go back one day, you can leave their mother and son at home, and if they want to leave, they can only take away a change of clothes, which is what I have told them, and I have to reassure you. ”

"Grandpa, how can this be done? This family business is all dependent on you, without you there would be no one I am today, from my heart, I have never regarded these as my own family business, I feel that it is yours, I am just using it. I think it's good or not, all the cultural relics are given to you, and the garden is also your effort, and you can keep it. ”

"Wuyang, you won't listen to my words? Except for the money in your young grandmother's hand, the rest is yours, your little uncle is not an adult, and he can't see his appearance, and the appearance of other people can't be in charge of this family business, only you can have it. If you miss me, you will help my little uncle increase his skills in the future, so that he can also have your ability, what family business can't earn? ”

"Okay, I'll listen to you. Grandpa, you are in such good health, you will definitely watch your little uncle grow up. ”

"Birth, old age, sickness and death are natural laws, not to mention that I am almost 90 years old, and I know that I will not be able to live 105 years old. If you live to be 150 years old after the age of 105, but that is impossible, you are born and you are determined when you want to die. With you, I have nothing to worry about, I can live happily and happily, and I should be content. ”

Wuyang didn't want to say anything, the grandfather and grandson talked next to the jade gourd for so long, if it weren't for Grandpa Zhang saying that he could live to be 105 years old, Wuyang felt that he was arranging the future.

"Grandpa, I'll call Minbo to come over, is it at my house or with my parents?"

"Your parents, here, as soon as your wives come around, we can't do anything." Grandpa Zhang said and walked towards his parents' villa. Wuyang called Hu Minbo and went into the house to get the map. These maps have been redrawn and are the same as those that show the course of the veins. are marked with terrain features. After getting it back. Wuyang processed it again. In fact, Wuyang went to Mongolia last time. It is equipped with an instrument that shows the latitude and longitude, and when I see the vein or the ancient tomb, the latitude and longitude are recorded, but I didn't let the two friends know.

When he arrived at his parents' house, Wuyang invited Grandpa Zhang to sit down, took out the electric kettle to boil water and prepare to make tea, and went home to get the map and theodolite. After taking it, Hu Minbo happened to arrive. Wuyang spread out the map, told him the mark of Hu Minbo's ancient tomb, and told him how to use the theodolite, and it was done in a few minutes.

Wuyang began to make tea, this is a 50-year-old tea brought back from Lanjiang, if it weren't for Grandpa Zhang, Wuyang would really be reluctant to take it out. bought it at Peng Yan's house, leaving only a few cakes, even if he had money, he didn't have the place to buy it.

Hu Minbo said: "Brother Wuyang." It's been a long time since I've spoken to you, and I'll tell you about my work? ”

"Okay. Where to think of where to say. ”

"Okay. I am now in charge of 4 diamond mines, one in Russia, one in Sister Peng Yan's family, one in Huaihua Village that produces black diamonds, and one in Mingyue Lake. Each place runs twice a year, and Huaihua Village goes to a little more, which is closer. ”

"Thank you for your hard work, how was the harvest?"

"It's okay, anyway, the treasure rooms in the Stone Villa are almost full, of course, they are all stones that have not removed the surface of the diamonds, which take up more space, if the stones are removed, there should only be 8 treasure rooms that can be filled. Now no one else knows that we have collected so many diamonds, and the diamonds used by Brother Xiaobao for processing were given to him after I cleaned them. ”

"Minbo, is there a way for you to find a few reliable people to remove the stones?"

"That's the kind of person that's hard to find. It's not good to talk with a straight face when looking for relatives and friends, and it's even more uneasy to find outsiders. I think I'll just leave it like this for now, and after the mine is finished, I'll make it at home for a few years. ”

"When will the mine be finished?"

"Sister Peng Yan's family has been mined, Mingyue Lake will be mined next year, Huaihua Village and Russian mines, it is possible to mine for a long time, but there are only two mines, and it is enough to go out for half a year every year. But not yet, we bought two diamond mines in South Africa, and I'm going to go there after the Chinese New Year. ”

Wuyang said: "When did you buy a diamond mine in South Africa? ”

"It was bought by Huijuan's sister-in-law and a few African sisters-in-law, and it has been mined for half a year, so I have already been allowed to pass."

"You are busy and can't win, can you let Min Qiang pass? His job in Myanmar must be about the same. ”

Min Bo said: "He is also busy in Myanmar, Boss Chen's activity energy is so big, the previous mine has not been mined, and he asked Min Qiang to explore several mines, all of which were bought for mining." The diamonds in the new mine are better than the previous ones, and neither the color, transparency nor weight of the previous ones can be compared. ”

"Is the diamond he got back also in Stone Villa?"

"No, his is a loose diamond, which is shared with Boss Chen, mainly rubies and sapphires, which are all left in Brother Xiaobao's processing factory, Brother Xiaobao asked me for diamonds. By the way, Brother Wuyang, the secret that Min Qiang picked up stones in the river and sent them back was discovered by Boss Chen, and asked him for 3 percent. ”

Wuyang smiled: "It's a partnership, and you should go halfway." ”

Min Bo said: "No, it makes no sense for Boss Chen to do this. I used to pick it up in the river under the mountain that he bought, and now it's basically before I don't tell him, Min Qiang went to pick up the stones in the river, and it has nothing to do with him, brother, that's a lot of income, in the first 3 years, 120 cars to 150 cars were transported back, and only 100 cars were transported back at the beginning of this year, and it is estimated that there will not be many in the future, and those who can be picked up are basically all picked up. ”

"If you don't, forget it, you can't pull the stone back. Min Bo, this time I found another diamond mine in Mongolia, the structure is the same as Huaihua Village, it is basalt, all sapphires, under normal circumstances, the stone can be found after it is broken, but I am afraid that there are some omissions, and it will definitely have to work hard for you. ”

"It's okay, I just run twice a year, when do you want me to come over?"

"I haven't prepared for mining yet, and the mountain has been closed by heavy snow, so I'll let you know when the time comes."

Grandpa Zhang said: "Wuyang, what kind of strange smell is this tea, it seems to have a musty smell, is it bad?" ”

Wuyang smiled: "Grandpa, this is a stale fragrance, how can it be a musty smell." ”

"I can't get used to it, you go get green tea and make me a drink."

"Okay."

Wuyang took the green tea and brewed it for Grandpa Zhang, "Grandpa, I got some golden silk nanmu in Lanjiang this time, and I also got some in Yihe two days earlier, which are used for house beams, and I want to prepare a coffin for you, what do you think?" ”

"I have made beams, but I have not chiseled the mortise and nailed it?"

"The wood is relatively large, the mortise is at both ends, and the bamboo nails are not very conspicuous, but there are some yard nails, and the holes are relatively large. What Lanjiang got back is all in good condition. ”

Grandpa Zhang said: "The bamboo nails and yard nails have not penetrated, and it is not a big problem to make a coffin." But I don't want a coffin, I'll be cremated in the future, go to Heyuan to find a tree, and bury the ashes under the tree. I have never worshiped my ancestors, and I don't want you to worship, so that you don't have to worry about worship on the Qingming Festival and the first day of the new year. ”

Wuyang said: "Now that the country is on holiday for the Qingming Festival, worship is still required." ”

"I really don't need to, after my parents were killed by bandits, I don't know if they were buried, maybe they were all called wild dogs, I still feel very guilty all these years, you worship me, it will make me uneasy underground."

"Grandpa, did you tell your uncle these words?"

"As I said, their maternal grandfather and maternal grandmother did not leave any bones, and their mother was also cremated, and the ashes were buried under the tree. Let's not talk about this, did the golden silk nanmu you got back in Yihe this time be demolished by buying someone's old house? Is there anything else that isn't there? ”

"There's a lot of stuff. Gold, stone, jade, calligraphy, painting, antiques, porcelain and weapons are all available. ”

"Have you seen it all? What are the most valuable? ”

"I haven't looked at it carefully, but I think the most valuable thing should be those ancient jade, which may have heirloom jade seals, which are exactly what our museum lacks."

"How many are there?"

"There are no statistics, they are all handed over to Director Tan, I estimate 20,000 pieces."

Grandpa Zhang said, "That's amazing, enough for us to open a museum." Wuyang, build a new museum in the capital, and take these cultural relics to exhibition? ”

"Grandpa, no, if there are people who know more about historical relics, after seeing these things, they will definitely have to ask about their origins, and then it will be difficult for us to justify ourselves. In case it is taken away by the state, are we not wronged? ”

"Without a few famous cultural relics as the treasures of the town, our museum will never be famous, let alone become the largest museum in China. People have to ask about the origin, and let the staff answer that they don't know. If it is really traced by the relevant departments, your godfather, and how many fathers-in-law, Brother Zhang or something, which one came forward, isn't it one to say the same?
