At a venue in Lancy State, a staggered winter wine tasting is underway.

The Minister of Commerce of the State of Lancy personally stepped forward to give a speech and thanked the brewmasters and wine merchants for coming.

The pronunciation and syllables of French, sometimes I feel a bit like Chinese with an accent when I listen to it too much, and at this time Zhuang's father is squinting his eyes and listening to it with relish, nodding and shaking his head while listening, I don't know what the empty ears have become.

"Zhuang, I didn't even know you could speak French!" The bearded man next to him watched Zhuang's father listen to it with relish and was shocked.

"yes, yes, this guy is really long-winded." Father Zhuang smiled and nodded again and again.

"Then how about you help me act as a translator to negotiate a business later? After drinking your wine, even I want to play with low-alcohol wine, I want to buy a wine winery, I'm afraid that the layman's translation will be fooled, you are an expert in low-alcohol wine, help me check it! ”

Father Zhuang nodded again and again: "You think so too!" My stomach is almost full, and this guy is still rambling! ”

The bearded man gave a thumbs up to Daddy Zhuang, Daddy Zhuang is a friend enough!

Lao Zhao next to him looked sluggish, didn't speak, and used a handheld device to record the conversation between the two.

This is definitely an epic chicken-and-duck story!

In fact, this kind of winter wine tasting, hosted by the Ministry of Commerce of the State of Lanxi, is held every year, and often travels around the world.

To put it bluntly, it is a kind of wine fair, and the quality of wine is largely limited by the quality of the grapes themselves, and the quality of grapes every year is affected by the climate, environment and cultivation technology, coupled with the difference in yield, which will affect the price of different batches of wine every year.

The tasting of top winemakers such as Zhuang Dad and Da Beard will label some vintages, production areas, estates, and flavors with different labels, and sometimes, a certain category and vintage of wine can become a treasure that is several times more valuable than other vintages.

This year, the summer in Lancy suffered from a climatic disaster, which led to a massive reduction in grape production, but drought and exposure to the sun also led to a much sweeter grape than usual, so this year is a great vintage for wines, and it is likely to produce a batch of classic wines that will last for a long time.

But the decline in grape production also means that if this year's wine cannot be sold at a high price, the owners of the wineries will lose all their money.

But what price this year's wine can sell for is very important for these winemakers and major wine merchants to taste today.

Therefore, in order to make these brewmasters and wine merchants cheer up, the scene is full of luxury, all kinds of services to the home, foie gras, caviar, French desserts, etc. are available in unlimited quantities, and even the fruits from the estate are also matched.

On this occasion, everyone understands the rules, people eat and drink well, and they also carry a sedan chair for others, and everyone is happy, after all, Lanxi Prefecture is a big wine-making country, and it is also a big wine consumption country, and everyone has to sell wine to Lanxi Prefecture.

At the end of the party, a Lancey with curly hair approached him and warmly wanted to hug the bearded man: "Bearded, my friend! ”

The bearded man didn't want to see him, he turned his face and was about to leave, he grabbed the beard, muttered, and dragged the beard to let him introduce Zhuang's father.

The bearded man said helplessly: "This is Leo, who is also a winemaker, he owns several local wineries, and he wants to sell me a winery." ”

Then, the bearded man said to Leo: "I told you, I'm not interested in the wineries in the Bergen appellation, I want to buy the wineries in the Bodo appellation!" ”

"Bearded, my friend, the wines of the Bergen appellation are the best in the world, you believe me, we are old friends, I won't lie to you! Compared to our Bergen, the Bodo region is not even worthy of carrying shoes! And the wines of our Château Bonizza, even in the entire Bergan appellation, are second to none! ”

"We don't have that much to do with each other, and I just want to buy a winery from the Boto appellation." The bearded man shook his head.

Zhuang's father's comprehension ability can still play a role in most cases, he listened to the side, and said: "I also want to buy a winery to play, and my friend has one." ”

Mr. Chen, the general manager of Zhuang Kee Winery, has a small winery.

Daddy Zhuang's words made Leo seize the opportunity, he grinded hard and finally moved Daddy Zhuang and the beard.

Anyway, it's not much to do in Lanxi anyway, so it's good to go to the site and see it, maybe you can buy it?

After hearing the agreement of the two people, Leo was overjoyed, and quickly hid in the corner and called the winery: "Lenoer, you quickly clean up the winery, change the labels of those old wine barrels, by the way, put up those empty wine barrels as well, and then pull a barrel of their best wine from the old ancient tower next door and put it on the outside, I will take the two of you to see the winery later, if we can get rid of the winery, we will be rich." By the way, you go to find a translator who understands Chinese, the kind that can speak well, last time that Pang was good, I inquired carefully, this stateman is a local tycoon, worth at least 200 million Xizhou dollars! Hey hey ......"

Unbeknownst to both Daddy Zhuang and Bearded, they got into Leo's car and went straight to one of his wineries.

Lanxi Prefecture is one of the largest countries in the Xizhou continent, but the entire Xizhou continent is so big, so Lanxi Prefecture is not big.

The Bergen appellation is also not far from the capital, and they arrive at the appellation area when the terrain becomes undulating and hilly, just over a two-hour drive.

Large vineyards, spread in the sun, neatly planned, look delightful.

Father Zhuang looked out the window attentively, although there are grapes in the manor, but the scenery here is completely different.

Leo calls Lenore to warn him that the wrongdoer is coming.

But for some reason, no one answered the phone.

Leo was anxious, worried that what should be prepared was not ready, so he decided to delay the time.

He stopped the car, pointed to the large vineyards next to him and said: "From here on, they are all the vineyards of our winery, you see that our vineyards are mainly Pinot Noir, a few are Chardonnay, these vines, most of them were planted thirty or forty years ago, and now it is the peak of production, if you want to take over, you can definitely have more than ten years of peak production!" ”

Dad Zhuang got out of the car, reached out and touched the vines, and then picked up the soil and looked at it.

"Zhuang, at first glance you are a real connoisseur, Zhuang, tell my friend bearded, how wonderful this vine is!"

Father Zhuang said to the bearded man: "Your friend is not honest, these trees are only thirty or forty years old, but because of poor management, the cultivation technology is too poor, and they have begun to show signs of aging, and some vines are infected with diseases, and now they look healthy, but the yield of grapes will be very poor." ”

Who is Daddy Zhuang?

He's a good master brewer, but he's a master brewer on the estate, and the botanists on the estate estimate that there are more crops than in the field.

Leo didn't know what they were talking about, and took out his phone to make a call.

At this moment, several soldiers in black combat uniforms rushed out from the side and warned them: "You guys get out of here, it's dangerous here!" ”

Inside the winery, there was a faint sound of gunfire.
