Chapter 168: Duke Nagbert 2
Julils did not expect a sudden change in his identity, from an intermediary to a negotiator, a change that made him unable to adapt for a while, and he sat there motionless.
Wang Hai said: "If the negotiation is successful, I will give you 20% of the transaction price as a reward, how about it?" β
Julils struggled to close his mouth, not knowing what to say to express his feelings, and finally nodded slowly, he was ready to die for Wang Hai. "Don't worry, Mr. Robin, I'll get you a reasonable price."
Wang Hai nodded with satisfaction, and after eating breakfast with Juliels, he drove Juliels' Porsche sports car to Nag Manor.
Far from the center of Paris, the ChΓ’teau de Nag looks like an old castle surrounded by grapes used to make wine, making it a sacred place compared to the center of Paris.
It was half past nine in the morning when Wang Hai and Julils arrived here, and in terms of time, they did not arrive early or late, and the steward of Nag Manor personally received the two of them.
On the way here, Wang Hai had already heard Julils introduce this steward in detail, he was a professional butler from England, because he was waiting for the Duke, and his personality was naturally arrogant, if it weren't for money, he wouldn't have said a word to Wang Hai and Juliels. Wang Hai met the manager himself here, which once again confirmed Juliles's words. The manager is a typical Englishman, with a slender figure, white hair and a formal suit, he looks like a royal housekeeper who only appears in ancient movies.
Julils stretched out his arms and walked over with an enthusiastic face and exclaimed, "Mr. Steward, we haven't seen each other for a while, and it's a pleasure to see you again!" The steward stood there without moving, which made Julils, who wanted to hug him, very embarrassed, and withdrew his arms and asked, "Is the Duke alright?" β
The manager took out an antique pocket watch from his jacket pocket, looked at it, put it back in his pocket, and said, "You're early. As he spoke, he glanced at Wang Hai and asked, "Is he the person you said?" β
Julils nodded hurriedly and introduced the two of them: "This is Mr. Robin from China, and this is Mr. Jeffrey, the head of Nag Winery. β
Wang Hai had been secretly observing the chief, he seemed to be just a proud servant, but Wang Hai still sensed from him the temperament that only professional soldiers possessed. Wang Hai knew that he couldn't be too polite, that would only make the arrogant manager look down on him even more, so he deliberately didn't look at the other party, and said angrily: "Julils, I'm here to see Lord Duke Nagbert, not to know any servant. β
These words really played a certain role, Jeffrey was obviously very angry, but he didn't dare to underestimate Wang Hai, and snorted and said, "Mr. Robin, if you really want to buy Nag Manor, then do you want to listen to my advice?" β
Wang Hai snorted, indicating that he would not listen to a servant's construction.
Jeffrey continued, "My advice is for you to hurry back quickly, it will only be a waste of time here, and the Duke will never sell Nag Manor!" β
Wang Hai pretended to be impatient and shouted, "Julils, it's almost time, when will we see Duke Nagbert?" β
"This ......," Julils looked at Geoffrey in embarrassment, he didn't expect the atmosphere to be tense as soon as he arrived.
Jeffrey said, "Lord Duke is almost in time, come with me." β
Julils turned back to Wang Hai and smiled, "Let's go." β
Wang Hai walked forward after the two of them, secretly observing the buildings here along the way, if Nagerbert was really Stanford, then his actions at this time would be very necessary. Wang Hai found that Nag Manor not only looks like a castle, it is completely rebuilt from the ancient city, and the ancient buildings here are at least more than 200 years old.
Wang Hai and the two were taken to the back garden, where an old man of about 60 years old was sitting on a wicker chair on the grass drinking coffee, holding the day's newspaper in his hand and flipping through it. When they were still twenty meters away from each other, Jeffrey asked Wang Hai and the two to stay where they were, and stepped forward alone and whispered a few words in the old man's ear. The old man put down the newspaper in his hand and looked up at Wang Hai and the two, and said with a charitable smile: "Juliens, what kind of wind blew you here?" β
Julils motioned for Wang Hai to follow him, and said with a happy smile: "Of course, it is the fragrance of the wine saved by the Duke, and I would like to introduce a friend to the Duke. As he spoke, he stood two meters away from the duke, and he did not dare to sit down without the duke's consent.
Wang Hai and the Duke looked at each other, Wang Hai could be sure that he had never seen the Duke named Nagbert before, and whether he was the director of the Killer Group Stanford had to be investigated further.
"Young and promising." The Duke nodded in satisfaction, he had already learned the purpose of the two from the butler, "Sit down." β
Wang Hai and Julils stepped forward to sit on the chairs opposite the duke, and the butler Geoffrey poured the fragrant coffee for the two of them.
Julils explains: "Your Excellency, this is Mr. Robin, a nobleman from China, and he is very interested in the red wine that the Duke treasures. β
Wang Hai took the opportunity to speak: "Lord Duke, I don't know if I have the honor to taste your red wine?" β
The Duke smiled and said, "Of course, the best red wine should be used for entertaining distinguished guests." Then he said to the butler, "Tell the kitchen to bring out the best food at noon, and I will treat these two distinguished guests well." β
"Yes." The butler answered, turned and prepared to leave.
The Duke suddenly exclaimed after the butler had taken two steps out, "Oh, yes. Let's start with a bottle of '82 red wine, which is a pre-dinner aperitif, and I'm going to ask my friend to taste it. β
The butler turned around and replied respectfully, "Yes." β
After the butler left, the duke chatted with Wang Hai and the two of them, and when the butler came with the red wine, he personally got up and poured wine for Wang Hai and Juliels, which cut the topic to the point. "Mr. Robin, I heard that you are very interested in my estate and want to acquire it?"
Wang Hai didn't rush to speak, he first picked up the wine glass and tasted it, and exclaimed, "It's really good wine." Then he put down his glass and stared at Nagbert and said, "I want to drink such good wine every day, but I can't go to the duke's house every day to eat and drink, and it would be better if I could buy the whole estate." β
The duke suddenly grimaced and said, "What if I don't sell it?" β
