() Found the way home!

Pengshou Winery is not far from Jill's house. There is a manor on the east side of Gervre-Shambethan Village. Behind a large vineyard is a large area of ​​vineyards. Jill introduced that this is Pengshou Winery's most famous Pengshou Winery. Chen Fang and Qin Mohan went to the winery under the leadership of Jill. Lauren Pengshou, the heir of the winery, happened to be at home.

"Hello Jill." Lauren Pengshou, a man in his fifties, was recently worried about the joint punishment of the winery by the FBI and the French Wine Association, but his appearance still could not be seen with any decadence. His blond hair was neatly combed, silver-framed glasses, a light blue shirt and dark jeans, and he dressed like a gentleman. This is also related to the French personality, and he should not mess up his appearance at any time.

"Hi, Lauren, let me introduce you to me. This is my apprentice, Charles." Jill proudly introduced Shen Fang to Lauren Pengshou.

Lauren reached out and shook Chen Fang: "Charles Chen! I've heard of you, but I didn't expect you to be Jill's apprentice. Fortunately!"

"Good luck!" Chen Fang looked at the winery carefully. Its area covers a much larger area than that of the small winery in Jill, and it is also because its annual alcohol production is greater than that of the entire Kiriya family. In addition to a 3.3 hectares of special-grade park, Pengshou Winery also has two first-grade parks of more than ten hectares.

Under Lauren's leadership, several people visited their spectacular underground wine cellar, and hundreds of round oak barrels were neatly placed in this underground wine cellar. These barrels have a certain age, which is also the principle of Pengshou Winery. They are unwilling to use new oak barrels to make the wine "flavored". They advocate slowly soaking new wine with old barrels. This cellar only retains the wine produced in the special garden every year, with a production of less than 5,000 bottles, which is only a dozen barrels.

When several people entered the cellar, Lauren took out a bottle of red wine from the wine rack and poured it into a decanter to awaken its fragrant smell concentrated by time.

"Taste." After about half an hour, after a few people visited the winery, Lauren poured a cup for the few people. Then he looked at Chen Fang with a careful look.

"Haha." Jill took a sip and looked at Chen Fang teasingly: "Let's see if you can tell the year of this glass of wine? If you can tell, I'll think you've graduated."

Chen Fang looked at the two old children who were over 100 years old together speechlessly, then picked up the wine glass and shook it gently. There was a unique cherry-like fragrance. He took a sip of the rich taste brought by the rich Pinot Noir aroma filled his taste buds, finding a perfect balance in elegance and strength.

"The best!" Chen Fang sighed. I had tasted this taste before. Chen Fang carefully recalled the words when Jill taught him. This fragrance will only appear in the best years, but the wine in his glass is obviously more than ten years, so this bottle of wine should be the new wine in the past ten years.

"In 2005, Rocky Garden." Chen Fang thought for a while and gave a positive answer.

"Okay!" Lauren had not announced the correct answer yet, and Jill had already praised him. 2005 was the best year in Burgundy in the past decade. When Chen Fang was taught to taste wine, the wine in 2005 was still a new wine. Jill just told him the characteristics of the wine that this year should have. Unexpectedly, he tasted it.

Lauren handed over the bottle and the wine plug. Qin Mohan took the bottle and took a look carefully. It was Rocky Garden in 2005. He looked at Chen Fang with admiration, which greatly satisfied Chen Fang's heart.

"This is also related to the best wine that Mr. Lauren brought out. If you take a 2006 issue, I can't be so sure. After all, in the past ten years, it's only the best year in 2005 and 2009. The taste of this bottle of wine is significantly higher than five years and less than ten years."

"I understand Jill's intention to bring you here very well. I also hope to hand over my family's winery to a person who knows red wine." Lauren picked up the wine glass, tasted it slowly, and said reluctantly to Chen Fang: "My great-grandfather William founded this winery in 1872, but he didn't expect that after more than a hundred years, it was ruined in my hands."

"Mr. Peng Shou, I admire the deeds of your family very much. I agree with the concept of reducing manual intervention that you advocate. I buy a winery just for myself and friends, not for sale." Chen Fang looked at Lauren Peng Shou and said, "You can maintain the name of Peng Shou Winery. I only need this winery and this vineyard in Rocky Garden. You can start a new Peng Shou Winery and recreate the glory."

"Mr. Chen, do you know how much money we need to turn over?" Lauren shook his head. Pengshou Winery's debt of more than 30 million euros was not something that could be met by just selling a special garden and a winery.

"It's roughly clear." Chen Fang said: "Mr. Peng Shou, I will not deliberately lower your price. I will buy the 3.3 hectares of special garden at the highest transaction price of 4.5 million euros per hectare in Burgundy in 2014. In addition, the winery equipment and wine storage total 25 million euros. I will provide you with an additional 10 million euros interest-free loan. As working capital, I will also guarantee you the fines of the FBI and the French Wine Association to lift the sanctions on you."

Lauren was very moved by Chen Fang's proposal. If he could retain the name of Pengshou Winery, he would make a comeback in a few years with the remaining first-class gardens and village-level vineyards in his hands. However, if this special-class garden is missing, it would probably be difficult if he wants to reach the original peak in the future.

Lauren needs to discuss with other members of the family. After all, only Chen Fang has provided the highest quotation, and it also gives the family an opportunity to revive. Chen Fang called Qian Bin and Fang Yuan from China, and they will be responsible for the subsequent negotiation business.

"Gill, if the acquisition is successful, I hope you can help me for a few years." Chen Fang said to Jill Kilia: "I hope to follow the most traditional winemaking skills, use only the best raw materials and skills to create fine products." This is Chen Fang's advantage. He does not need to consider survival like other wineries first. He has enough capital to obtain better red wine.

Qian Bin and Fang Yuan flew directly to Lyon, and were then taken by Cheng Yue. Qian Bin was still as calm as before, but Fang Yuan was a little anxious. Chen Fang knew the reason, so Zhang Peng mentioned it to himself. After the Yanjing Auto Show, a rich second-generation saw Xiao Ou at the auto show, and now she was sent flowers every few days and harassed Xiao Ou. Although Xiao Ou was not moved, Fang Yuan felt a deep sense of crisis.

Chen Fang looked at Fang Yuan, who was usually quiet, and couldn't help but comfort him, saying, "If you want to believe in Xiaoou's feelings for you, first of all, you must trust each other. If Xiaoou is a girl who likes material things so much, can she live with you in Yanjing for so many years?"

"Boss." Fang Yuan saw Chen Fang's scrutiny eyes and said embarrassedly: "I believe in her, but many models around her are persuading her. I'm afraid that her mind will change over time."

Looking at this man who kept saying that he was an unmarried subordinate and was worried about the possible crisis of his girlfriend, Chen Fang couldn't help but shake his head: "This way, see if she is free recently. You also call her to Europe. After learning about the affairs of the winery here, you will travel in Europe for a while. Let her stay away from the current environment and be more at ease. When you go back, I will arrange for the company to provide her with some resources to give her a new goal."

"Thank you, boss." Fang Yuan said gratefully. After asking Chen Fang for instructions, he hid aside and called to prepare to let his girlfriend come over.

"Qian Bin, what's going on with the fund recently?" The charity fund has always been under the responsibility of Xu Fei and Qian Bin.

"Last month, XXX Primary School in Guizhou Province was completed. Secretary-General Xu brought professional testing departments from Yanjing to conduct acceptance, and the quality meets the standards. However, the cost exceeds 5% of the original cost. Secretary-General Xu is preparing to go to McKinsey for review, but was dissuaded by Director Qu." Qian Bin told Chen Fang about the situation he encountered.

"5%, that is, 100,000 yuan." Chen Fang thought silently and arranged: "Just follow Director Qu's suggestion, this 100,000 yuan is considered a handling fee for connecting the relationship. Next time we make a budget, we will formulate this fee separately. We will not break the rules, but we cannot be suckers. If the Civil Affairs Department of Guizhou Province finds out and takes the initiative to review it, we will cooperate. If we do not review, we must also retain evidence to prove our innocence in the future."

"Okay, I understand the boss." Qian Bin nodded in agreement.

At this time, Fang Yuan walked in with a spring breeze on his face. It seemed that he had a good communication with Xiao Ou.

Chen Fang introduced the two to Jill Gilliah. He has a very xenophobic wine association in Burgundy. They do not welcome external capital like Bordeaux to enhance the influence of their own brand. The Burgundy Winery Alliance once believed that a large amount of foreign investment would lead to the bankruptcy of French small and medium-sized wineries due to vicious competition. This is also the reason why Chen Fang gave up the name of Pengshou Winery. He directly told the Winery Alliance clearly that I am just a small family workshop, which is produced and sold by myself. After ten or twenty years, the winery formed its own brand, it had already been integrated into the Burgundy region.

With the joint guarantee of Jill and Lauren, the purchase procedures of the winery were quickly reached. Chen Fang purchased the 3.3 hectares of special garden and all the stored wines of Pengshou Winery for 25 million euros, and renamed it to "InkChateau", which also caused a great shock in the red wine market. Although Pengshou Winery has always emphasized "avoiding human intervention" and cannot guarantee the unity of the year and batches, the stored wines of Pengshou Winery of high-quality vintage are still widely sought after in the market. The top red wine produced in 1978 was sold at a sky-high price of 320,000 Hong Kong dollars at Christie's in Hong Kong in 2012, setting a record for the highest in Hong Kong in history.

After entering two thousand years, Pengshou can only be considered the best in these two years in 2005 and 2009, and other years can only be considered ordinary. This is one of the reasons why the outside world's valuation of Pengshou Winery is relatively low.

All these things were left to Qian Bin and Fang Yuan for processing. He brought 20 boxes of wine stored in his winery and five boxes of wine from Pengshou Winery that had been filled and stored in the wine cellar for 78 years.
