Chapter 735: Heading to Europe

"Dear passengers, please note that our plane is about to land at Charles de Gaulle Airport in France. Passengers disembarking from the plane are asked to prepare their belongings." As a string of French words followed by a string of English words echoed in the cabin, I was sleeping comfortably on the chair. Jiang Hai couldn't help but sit up in a daze. He glanced at Qi Jie, who was still sleeping happily next to him, and couldn't help but push her gently, and then adjusted the chair.

Wiping his face, Jiang Hai also made himself more energetic, and then looked outside the window, but unfortunately, there was nothing else outside except clouds. After fastening his seat belt, Jiang Hai casually turned on his mobile phone. After looking at it and confirming the time, I began to think deeply, thinking about my actions yesterday afternoon, hoping that those people could understand.

Yesterday, Jiang Hai went to George's horse farm first, and then in the afternoon, Jiang Hai and Bob George went to the nearby manors.

Sure enough, in the manor near Jiang Hai, all the manor owners have been found by Carlite Company.

And the prices offered were, to be honest, somewhat exaggerated, at least about 20% higher.

This makes Jiang Hai a little depressed, but he must spend money to acquire these places. Not to mention if the original 50 million becomes 80 million, he will still buy it even if it becomes 180 million. Then Of course, if it is more expensive and the other party is willing to pay more than 500 million to take over these lands, then it doesn't matter if he gives it to these guys. He has made an appointment with them and will wait until he comes back to talk about everything.

Jiang Hai went back to prepare the things they were going to take with them, and then got on the plane and headed to France today.

In fact, Jiang Hai really doesn't have a good impression of France. For others, France is a romantic country.

In fact, from Jiang Hai's point of view, this is a shameless country. Even marriages between men and women have no moral bonds at all. People often go directly to a nearby hotel after seeing each other on the street. Come inside for a while.

Sometimes I can't help it anymore, so I go to a nearby lawn or something for a while. France has the highest cheating rate in the country. This is no joke. Their country is extremely open to things like sex. This is true whether you are a man or a woman.

And even if you are married, the law does not stipulate who is at fault. As long as there is a divorce, it is the man's fault. While giving the woman money, she must also pay alimony, so in France, there is no marriage. There are plenty of French men, and women don't care.

Married people are also full of hookups in the world. Since men can't control women, they will go out and make a mess, which is extremely chaotic.

Even between good friends and relatives, that kind of relationship often happens. It is indeed the most secretive country in the world.

And the most important thing is that this country is anti-Chinese. A patriotic and traditional man like Jiang Hai looks down on the people here.

If it wasn't for the cocktail party this time, he wouldn't be willing to come, so even if he came, he had no intention of staying here any longer. After attending the cocktail party, they would leave in Belgium and not return to France.

"Hey, wake up, we're here." After Jiang Hai sorted out his consciousness, he also called the other people. Everyone yawned, stretched their waists, rubbed their eyes and looked around After taking a look and confirming that it was indeed almost there, everyone calmed down.

As the plane landed slowly, Jiang Hai and others were also ready. After the plane stopped, they also walked out of the cabin.

But as soon as they entered the hall, Jiang Hai and his group attracted the attention of many people.

Especially those French men, many of them couldn't help but whistle. Maybe Qi Jie, Qi Ya, Ai Xiaoxi and Feng Yunchen looked a little weird in the eyes of these people because of their different aesthetics, but other women, among these In people's eyes, she can be regarded as an absolute beauty.

Even Aphra and the others are beauties who can score above eighty points. The most important thing is that their figures are not generally good.

Their slender waists and plump busts, because they have absorbed a lot of spiritual energy, make their figures comparable to those of supermodels. This makes these women feel their hormones are running rampant anytime and anywhere. The men are quite crazy.

Fortunately, they saw Jiang Hai walking among the women, and Connerson Peters who was behind him, plus the pistol on his waist, which made their dopamine levels have to drop. After all, no one wants to get a bloody hole in their body while picking flowers.

As soon as these whistles sounded, Jiang Hai couldn't help curling his lips. It was indeed an annoying place.

Fortunately, this dislike did not last long. When they walked out of the airport, O'Connor Murphy had been waiting outside for a long time.

Seeing Jiang Hai and the others walking out, the German man immediately walked over with a serious face.

There is no way, I don't know if all Germans can't laugh. O'Connor Murphy seems to have never laughed very often. Even if he smiles sometimes, Jiang Hai and the others will feel that his smile is very stiff. , maybe this is also the German style

"Boss, you're here." Seeing Jiang Hai walking over with a group of people, O'Connor Murphy also said seriously.

"The car and everything are ready. This time I followed your request and brought ten boxes in total. It should be enough." Looking at O'Connor Murphy, Jiang Hai also smiled and said hello to him. , and also showed the ten boxes of wine pulled on a trailer behind.

"Enough." Looking at the wines, O'Connor Murphy nodded seriously. It was indeed enough.

A box of wine contains ten bottles. Ten boxes equals one hundred and twenty bottles. There is no need to bring so many bottles to a wine party. Half of them will be used at the Brussels wine party in Belgium.

"The car is over here, let's go." After seeing that the wine behind Jiang Hai was fine, O'Connor Murphy took Jiang Hai and his group to a nearby parking lot. A luxury bus has been prepared for a long time.

Naturally, they rented this. It was impossible for Jiang Hai, the boss, to come without a car. Renting a luxury bus was also inevitable.

In addition to the car, there is naturally a driver. Looking at the girls getting on the car, the driver has some surprises. Although he knows that these people are not something he can mess with, it does not prevent him from seeing them with his eyes. look.

After getting the red wine and luggage, everyone got on the bus together, the bus started, and everyone headed towards their destination, Magong.

France is actually not that big. Basically, European countries, except for the Soviet Union, are not that big. A country may not be as big as a province in China. France is not much different. France is not considered a territory, it is just a local area. The area is only 550,000 square kilometers, while Heilong Province, the hometown of Jiang Hai in China, has 470,000 square kilometers, which is basically not much smaller than it, not to mention that Heilong Province is not very big in China.

The whole of France is only so big. If you divide it directly into cities instead of provinces, it will not show a big pattern.

It doesn't have the momentum of a big country at all, so France's geographical divisions are also different from those of big countries such as China and the United States.

In France, administrative divisions are called regions, followed by departments and towns.

This time Jiang Hai and the others are going to the Burgundy region. Speaking of Burgundy, not many Chinese people know about this place.

But this place is still very famous in Europe and the United States, because when it comes to red wine, France is the first to be mentioned, and the two major wine-producing regions in France are Bordeaux and Burgundy. This time Ma Magon, where the Tribute Wine Competition is held, is at the southern end of Burgundy.

Naturally, it is impossible for Jiang Hai and the others to take a train or the like to go here. It is not too far. In addition, the roads in Europe are indeed very good. Although there are traffic jams in urban areas, it is difficult to get out of the city. It was very convenient. After setting off from Charles de Gaulle Airport, they were soon on the highway heading towards their destination.

The place in France is not big, but the population is not that small, with more than 66 million people. Therefore, there are basically not many natural landscapes outside the city because there are too many people and it is difficult to see along the way. There are too many scenery, but there are many man-made things.

For example, there are a lot of pastures, manors, etc., with a lot of pastoral scenery, but very little natural scenery.

After arriving in the Burgundy region, the pastoral scenery has also changed. After all, people here rely on selling wine to make a living.

So here, there are wineries everywhere. There are vineyards outside each winery, and the old vines are all glowing with the spring of who knows how many years. But I have to admit that this way The pastoral scenery is quite nice.

"Burgundy was originally a branch of the Germanic people, coming from the island of Bornholm in the Baltic Sea. Around the end of the century AD, these people came to Europe during the barbarian invasion. On the mainland, in 413 AD, the Burgundians established the first Kingdom of Burgundy on the upper reaches of the Rhine River, but it was destroyed by the Western Roman Empire general Tietius and the Huns in 436 AD. Speaking of which, this place has a long culture and history, and there are still many interesting places in Magong." Perhaps feeling that the atmosphere was a bit dull, O'Connor Murphy, who was not good at words, couldn't help but cough. He made a sound and said to Jiang Hai and the others.

After hearing what he said about history, Jiang Hai and the others also listened. Jiang Hai was quite interested in history and so on.

This Burgundy region can be said to be the root of the founding of France, but the people in this region are relatively unlucky.

Every time a kingdom was established, it was destroyed within a few decades. After it was destroyed, it was established again, then it was destroyed again, it was established again, and it was destroyed again. After all, it had been established since the fourth century AD. The country was founded, so for the Burgundians, they also have a cultural history of more than 1,600 years, but it is just a very cowardly and weak cultural history.

Later, this country became a little timid, and became a territory of France. It didn't matter if it was a principality or the like, at least it would not be easily destroyed. Not in medieval Europe, Britain and France were famously powerful countries. Even at the beginning of World War I, France had the title of the best army in the world. At least on the ground, there were not many people who dared to go against them.

The world's number one army once lost to the Manchu and Qing armies when they were at their most impressive, but the most depressing thing is that they clearly won, but the Manchu and Qing armies continued to pay as if they had lost. , it really makes people a little speechless.

While listening to the history of the area, Jiang Hai and the others headed for Magong. It was not particularly tiring after these few hours.

But after several hours of flying and several hours of driving, Jiang Hai and the others still felt as if they were about to collapse from exhaustion. After arriving in Magong, they checked into a local hotel. Very famous hotel.

Jiang Hai himself was not short of money. Needless to say, he directly rented a hotel on the first floor, and everyone had a separate room.

After putting down their things, they were also ready to take a good rest. The wine club would open tomorrow and they had to be energetic today. O'Connor Murphy also explained to Jiang Hai the situation of the competition here.

The wine tasting at the Magong Competition was completely different from the beef cattle show and fishery show that Jiang Hai had attended in the past.

The selection here is blind, there is no so-called exhibition hall, display space, etc., so that there are things that can attract others' popularity.

There are only tables here, and everyone who comes to participate can be assigned a seat. The wines placed on the tables are the participating wines, but the outside of the wines will be covered with a thick piece of kraft paper, making it difficult for people to see clearly. Of course, the shape and style of the wine bottle cannot be seen clearly, so the participants can taste the wines and blindly score the numbered wines. This is considered the most fair. A kind of competition.

This is why Dulles Gerald is so confident. After all, Jiang Hai's Tenglong Manor is not well-known, and he doesn't have much money to spend on public relations and publicity. It's not that Jiang Hai is reluctant to part with it, but Dulles Gerard. De believes that there is no need to make money yet.

As for such a blind selection, for him, it would be weird if their wine didn't win the award.

Although Jiang Hai didn't understand wine, seeing how confident Dulles Gerald and O'Connor Murphy were, he also felt that he was full of confidence. To be continued.
