Chapter 495 Chateau Latour

Tan Xiaotian hired a French-savvy international student in Paris through Tan Guangwu, and accompanied him and Tan Mingyan to play and taste wine in the Bordeaux area every day.

This international student named Di Zongping studied hotel management major, and his hobby was to taste red wine, and he had a deep study of large and small wineries in the Bordeaux region.

When talking about the characteristics and allusions of each winery, I can easily pick them up and know them all.

Having this expert as a tour guide saves a lot of trouble.

Whenever he goes, he doesn't need to ask Xiaotian, he will take the initiative to tell the customs and wine production here.

Tan Xiaotian listened very carefully, and Ruan Si remembered all this in his heart.

On the fourth day, they came to an area called Poyjak, and Di Zongping's expression became solemn.

Tan Mingyan found it very strange. After a few days of contact, Di Zongping was able to talk and laugh. He was a cheerful person. What happened today?

Miss Tan Si was the one who couldn't hide her words in her heart, so she asked immediately.

"Miss Tan, because the place we are going to visit today is the legend of the winery, Latour Winery, one of the five famous French estates.

This winery has a history of more than 300 years and was built in the era of Louis XIV. With this profound foundation, it is worth worshipping me."

Di Zongping is a wine-lovers and has a nearly religious belief in these well-known wineries. It is not surprising that he can do such a move.

After listening to his introduction, the expressions of the pedestrians changed quietly, and the carriage became quiet.

Only Zhang Shui muttered in a low voice, “No matter how mysterious it is, isn’t it wine?

Can you still provide it?"

Fortunately, his voice was low and he was not heard by Di Zongping, otherwise the two would have had a big fight.

The car drove forward and saw an old white tower on the river bank from afar. Di Zongping was energetic, "Everyone, have you seen that stone tower?

That is the symbol of Latour Winery, which was once a fortress used to defend against pirates in ancient times."

His finger pointed to the river beside the White Tower, "That river is called the Gironde River. Have you seen the vineyard surrounded by roses on the bank?

This is Bordeaux's famous winery - Latour Castle, France's national treasure winery."

Di Zongping talked endlessly about the historical allusions of Latour Winery, and talked about Xiaotian's relish.

Soon, the car drove to the winery gate. Di Zongping got out of the car and explained to the guard that he had made an appointment before he came.

After the doorman confirmed, he quickly let him go and drove to the ancient castle in the winery.

After getting off the car, Tan Xiaotian looked at the magnificent castle in front of him and remained silent. He was indeed a little shocked.

A magnificent three-story building stands majestic, and all the wineries visited before are overshadowed compared to it.

Those are just wineries, and the one in front of you is a palace.

Di Zongping came over, "Mr. Tan, Latu Castle is the most magnificent among the five famous villages. The wine production is also characterized by strong aroma and plump wine. It can be said that in French red wine, Latu is the most suitable for men to drink."

After he said this, Tan Xiaotian felt even more itchy and urged Di Zongping to take them in and taste the wine immediately.

Di Zongping contacted the staff and led everyone into the tasting room.

Tan Xiaotian took a sip and it was indeed as Di Zongping said, it tasted much stronger than ordinary red wine, and it was a man's wine.

Tan Mingyan also likes Latu's taste very much. She holds a wine glass for a while and drinks it continuously.

"Zongping, will wineries of this level be sold?"

Tan Xiaotian suddenly asked a question, almost choking Di Zongping.

"Mr. Tan, if it is an ordinary small winery, it will be fine, but if you are at the level of the five famous wineries, you won't be able to accept the national feelings alone. In 1963, the Xigang family sold 75% of the shares of Latour Winery and sold the shares to two British companies.

When the news came, France was in an uproar, believing that it was a treason for treason.

Later in 1993, French retail giant Chuntian Department Store bought the winery back.

It doesn't matter if it's around the French. If it's sold to foreigners again, I'm afraid no one dares?"

Tan Xiaotian said oh and stopped talking.

He liked this winery very much at first sight, and he did have the idea of ​​buying Latour Winery. However, after hearing what Di Zongping said, this idea was automatically dispelled.

Why do things that are impossible to do! Ruan Si, who was sitting aside, slowly drank the red wine in the glass, and his eyes looked at the endless grape rack outside the window.

Really, so beautiful! Who has such a blessing to live a lifetime here?

*******After supper, Ruan Si locked the door and called Liu Shuli Jiatian to tell Xiaotian's words and deeds about today's visit to Latour Winery.

"Okay, I understand. Pay attention to protecting yourself and never let Tan Xiaotian discover it."

Li Jiatian would say the same thing every time he hung up the phone.

Li Jiatian looked up, and the ancestor of the Li family was staring at him.

Today is the day he will report.

"Grandma, it's Sisi's phone number..." Li Jiatian relayed the content of the phone to the old lady.

"Lathur Winery..." the old lady pondered, turning her hand in her hand to twist the beads, "Is it very expensive?"

Li Jiatian smiled, "It's not very expensive. The five famous French banks are all in units of billions, or US dollars."

"oh!"

The old lady nodded and said slowly, "What if I want to buy it?"

Li Jiatian was shocked, "Grandma, what are you kidding? Let's not talk about how much this winery is worth. Now the major shareholder of the winery is Chuntian Department Store. If they sell the winery to foreigners, the saliva of the French people alone can drown them."

Li Jiatian paused and looked at the old lady carefully, "Grandma, can you have this idea to talk about Xiaotian, right?

Is he really worth it?

It is enough for Lao Qi to give him a house in Deep Water Bay."

Humph! The old lady groaned, "What do you know about short-sighted things?

What are my plans for someone who is about to be buried?

I am thinking about you. The descendants of the Li family are worse than those of the generation. They all rely on this little family fortune and live in vain. After another generation, I am afraid that the Li family's property will be ruined by you."

Although Li Jiatian didn't agree, he really couldn't figure out what the Li family had to do with Tan Xiaotian. Isn't he just a young man who knows how to do business?

But the old lady got angry and didn't dare to contradict her, so she had to bow her head and be timid.

"Call the fourth brother."

The old lady's voice became stern.

Li Jiatian had no choice but to dial the number of the fourth brother Li Jiaxiang.

Li Jiaxiang lives in France all year round and is responsible for the Li family's affairs in Europe, mainly in real estate.

The Li family has been in the forefront for so many years, but they have not covered many fields, basically all of which are concentrated in real estate and finance.

As the old lady said, the descendants of the Li family in recent generations have not had very outstanding talents. Over the past few decades, the family's assets have not increased but shrunk. If it weren't for the annual rent in Causeway Bay, the family property would have been ruined.
