If Gultford, the capital of Surrey, is located on the tail of a pig, Glenborough Winery is located on the back of the pig, not too far from the village of Surrey.
The old man drove himself and took them to visit this British winter vineyard.
Driving in the winery and tasting the freshly barreled unprocessed wine, Peng Bo could even imagine that one day he would have the opportunity to live in his own winery and watch the sun set and rise from the grape branches.
, that feeling is familiar, but also strange, but it must be very wonderful!
According to the old man’s introduction, it is still unknown whether there are native grape varieties in the UK, and currently the main wine-making varieties are either from France or Germany:
Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Pinot Meunier, the classic three musketeers of Champagne, are the grape varieties used to make traditional sparkling wine in England and are also the main grape varieties in this vineyard.
There is also Bacchus. This variety is named after the god of wine believed by the ancient Romans. It is a white grape variety that is a hybrid of Sylvaner, Riesling, and Miller-Thurgau. It is mainly used for blending and brewing wine.
It is fragrant and has low acidity.
Oetega is mainly used to brew sweet wine, Chevar Blanc is mainly used to brew "late-picked sweet wine" and "ice wine", and Reichensteiner has extremely high acidity and is an important variety in sparkling wine blends.
"The grape varieties are very comprehensive." Peng Bo said with a smile. The varieties here are mainly used for wine making, and they are different from the rose scent and longan in his hometown.
“In our country, Sussex, Kent, Surrey, Hampshire and East Anglia are the main grape-producing areas. In Surrey, apart from Denbes Winery, my vineyard is the largest.
"Yes." The old man was very proud.
Chatting with an old British man with a white beard in the golden sunset over the mountains and plains was a novel thing, and Peng Bo enjoyed it very much.
But what he enjoyed even more was drinking a glass of home-produced wine and tasting a cheese platter made entirely of Welsh cheese, which gave him a thumbs up.
"There is often a shortage of water here. You see, I have built two reservoirs." The reservoir is medium-sized and is embedded in the ground like two pieces of jasper. "There will be no shortage of water here in the future."
Agriculture cannot be separated from water sources and irrigation. Seeing the reservoir, Peng Bo secretly made up his mind, "How big is this vineyard?" Although he had read the information, he wanted to hear the old man say it himself.
"Oh, there are 16 acres here. It was not like this before. My family has devoted all their efforts to this land..." Under the sunset, the old man's expression suddenly looked very lonely, "Here we are, this is what I call my ancient land."
Fort.”
oh.
The car slowly stopped, Peng Bo slowly got out of the car, and Heinwei looked at her lover with a smile. She had been to the Gulen Castle many times, but when she thought about being the owner of the castle one day, she also felt...
Something strange.
"This is an old castle from the 15th century, six hundred years ago." The old man said with pride, "You can visit it."
Peng Bo was very willing. Looking from the outside, the center of the castle was a fortress entirely made of stone. It may have been mainly used for military defense when it was first built.
There is an old tree with dead vines leaning against the fortress. This old tree has withstood hundreds of years of wind and rain, and has accompanied and witnessed the rise and fall of the castle, as well as the vicissitudes of life.
The ancient and simple residence and the mottled and loyal ancient trees bathe and feel the sunshine and terroir of Surrey together, which precipitates the heaviness and elegance of this oldest winery in Surrey.
"How about it?" Peng Bo seemed to have an idea without entering.
The old man looked at them with a smile and walked away, seemingly intentionally leaving them space and time.
"If we divert water from the river to the south side of this castle, we can have a very beautiful lake..."
Heyinwei's expression was very happy and longing, but she still remained sober, "You seem to have decided to buy this place?"
"Of course, it depends on what you mean." Peng Bo gently held her hand. As the president of Pengbo Media, he is no longer the kind of ordinary citizen who "can handle everything if he has money", just like the later movie "
Like the nouveau riche in "Private Customization", being bored to the point of extinguishing the lights in the capital is extremely dangerous!
And Heinwei is a native British person with working experience in investment banking and banking. Moreover, her family will also give her a lot of help. If she and her family think that buying this place is a good business, they will
Will not hesitate!
One day in the future, he would be very happy to hold Heinwei's hand and make a marriage vow in front of his own castle.
He looked at the old man in the distance again. The old man didn't seem to be in a hurry.
Then I’m not in a hurry!
Peng Bo smiled. The implementation of any business plan cannot escape careful planning, reliable operations, and precise sensitivity to numbers. Even during the negotiation process, every expression of the other party must be kept in mind.
.
"Donald, the wineries that are truly worth investing in are all mid-range, well-equipped and well-equipped. The price is about 60,000 to 10,000 euros per hectare, and the existing wine inventory is maintained for about half a year..." Heinwei slowly approached.
That ancient tree, "I'm happy to tell you that this place fully meets the conditions."
"Then let's..." Peng Bo happily hugged her slender waist.
"Then we still need to do an investigation." In the sunset, Heinwei's face seemed to be coated with a layer of holy brilliance, making Peng Bo's heart melt into the infinite sunset. "The winery's production costs, labor expenses
However, Heinwei couldn't speak anymore. She only felt a moistness and heat surrounding herself...
…
I left as gently as I came; I waved my hand gently to bid farewell to the clouds in the western sky. The golden willows by the river are the bride in the sunset; the bright shadows in the ripples,
Flowing in my heart...
Saying goodbye to his future father-in-law and mother-in-law and General Fan, Peng Bo embarked on his voyage back home.
Heinwei will return home later, firstly to spend more time with her parents, and secondly to thoroughly inspect their future home.
As a professional investment banker, Heinwei was not stupid enough to use cash flow to waste money. Citibank, his old employer, provided a lot of mature and feasible help. With the help of two well-known law firms and accounting firms in Surrey,
Everything seems to be going well with the acquisition...
But by the end of the month, the news had spread from Surrey to London, to Bordeaux in France, to Wall Street in the United States...
Although this is just a small acquisition that is being discussed, it will take at least a year to implement the package plan no matter how quickly it is implemented, but it has still attracted reports from foreign newspapers.
Because this is the first time that Chinese capital has acquired a winery in the UK. Previous acquisition records were all acquired by Europeans, Americans and Australians.
"British Chinese Acquire Ancient Winery"
"A Chinese media company acquires a Surrey winery in the UK"
"Glenborg Winery M&A Project Lands in Great Britain"
…
Looking at the various newspapers on his desk, Peng Bo knew that everyone was guessing about the media company and the mysterious Chinese behind him. He stood up gently and looked at the endless Huanghu River outside the window.
, he knew that at the turn of the century, starting from Shanghai, China's capital had embarked on a new journey!
