Chapter 1849 What if I Don’t Buy a Winery?

The Incas called themselves "descendants of the sun." This claim showed their respect for the sun. The sun stone in Machu Picchu is a product related to the sun.

This is a very magical stone product. Its bottom is a large rectangular stone plate, and a flat stone pillar protrudes from the center of the plate. Experts initially believed that this stone may reflect the Incas' respect for the sun. , they built this stone hoping to bind the sun in the sky so that the sun would always shine on the Inca land.

However, this argument is somewhat contradictory. How could the Incas, who always respected the sun god very much, think about restraining the sun?

Although the idea of ​​"tying the sun" has been overturned, the name "Tie the Sun Stone" has long been spread, and no one has changed it.

However, the experts are very curious and want to find out what the Sun Sun Stone is!

After day after day of research, they finally found clues and finally solved the problem. It turned out to be a 'black technology' used to measure the time of day.

Anyone who has studied geography knows that, except for the equator, objects will have different shapes of shadows when illuminated by the sun at different positions. This is because the sun does not shine directly outside the equator, but at a certain angle.

However, experts have discovered that at the vernal and autumnal equinoxes, the Sunstone has no shadow. This shows that after years of calculations, the ancient Incas obtained the deflection angle of the sun from here, and then adjusted the angle of the stone pointing at the sun. , so that the angle of the stone on the vernal and autumnal equinoxes is completely opposite to the sun, and finally the shape and presence of its shadows are used to arrange farming and production.

Therefore, the intelligence of human beings is incomparable to that of animals. Even in primitive societies, they can still create incredible things.

When we were about to leave Machu Picchu, there was a light rain in the sky. This place is surrounded by mountains. Machu Picchu in the rain has a unique flavor. Walking among such magical historical ruins, you can feel this "lost Inca city" hundreds of years ago. prosperity, every stone has its own unique history. On the one hand, it's shocking, but more importantly, it's a worthwhile trip, and the comfortable feeling that watching a concert is worth the price of admission.

Huayna Picchu next to Machu Picchu is named after the local Quechua language, which means "peak of young people". This mountain is actually not very high, only 2693 meters, which is more than 200 meters higher than Machu Picchu, but because The mountain shape is steep and appears very dangerous.

Although this mountain is not an attraction, many tourists still choose to climb it. Rodriguez also suggested that Yang Cheng climb up and have a look, because the purpose of this mountain is to see Machu Picchu from another angle, but considering Due to the narrow roads and protection of the monuments, only 400 tourists are allowed in here every day, and it is only open twice a day, with 200 people each time. When booking Machu Picchu tickets,

To add this option, this is the benefit of hiring a tour guide, he has everything arranged.

The feeling of overlooking the city in the sky from Huayna Picchu is completely different. Yang Cheng can't wait to use up all the memory of his mobile phone and press the shutter of his mobile phone non-stop.

After coming down from the mountain, Rodriguez took them to the salt pans. This is a perfect combination of nature and manpower. It is built in the valley and a large area is occupied by thousands of small square salt pools.

Before the Inca Empire, locals knew how to introduce stream water into these pools. Since the local winters are relatively dry, the salt can be obtained after the water evaporates.

The actual function here is still functioning, and it is quite shocking from a visual perspective, but Yang Cheng has no interest in going deep into it. He just took a few photos from a high place, and then went to a nearby store to buy some tourist products, of course all salt. After tasting the product, Yang Cheng felt that it was different from ordinary sea salt and had a unique flavor, so he entrusted Rodriguez to help purchase a large batch and shipped it to Lima Airport. He planned to take it home to see if the chef at home could use it. superior.

The trip to Cusco was almost over here. I said goodbye to Rodriguez and took the car back to Lima. Before he could repair himself for a moment, Sanchez dragged him to Jose.

"Why are you so anxious?" Yang Cheng's face looked very tired. Even though he didn't need to drive on the way, riding in the car was also very tiring.

"Mr. Yang, we have decided to place an order with you for 6 Su-30MKs and 12 T90 tanks. Can you give us a quotation?"

Yang Cheng was stunned for a moment. Did he place the order so readily?

Happiness came so quickly that he was caught off guard.

After hesitating, he didn't care, he agreed first and then talked about it.

"Well~ it's no problem to place an order, but I have to confirm the price with the other party. After all, this order is not big."

"Please help us get a discount. Thank you very much. By the way, I heard that Mr. Yang likes red wine. Why not go to the Pisco production area? If you have a favorite winery, I will give it to you privately."

Is this equivalent to a kickback? Yang Cheng couldn't help but think.

But Peruvian red wine? He had tasted Pisco Sour in Cusco before, and it did have a unique flavor, but could ordinary red wine be sold?

You must know that compared to its neighbor Chile, Peru’s red wine industry is no more than a toddler. There is no way it is due to its geographical location.

Peru is a real tropical country. The northern end of its territory is exactly on the equator, and the southern end is as close as the Tropic of Capricorn. From this point of view, Peru has broken away from the "wine-producing zone (latitude between 30 and 45 degrees)" .

But Peru does find a coastal plain area suitable for grape growing between the Pacific Ocean and the Andes.

This coastal plain area is the city of Pisco, about 200 kilometers south of the capital Lima. It is also Peru's main grape growing area, but the rich vineyards are only a few meters away from the barren desert.

Therefore, most of the main wine grapes in Peru are varieties that like warm climates. The wines they produce are red in color and have high alcohol content, which is why sour wine is a specialty.

However, in addition to Peru, Chile also produces this kind of wine in large quantities. It once fought a lawsuit with Peru to fight for the ownership of Pisco Brandy, and it was finally ruled that it belonged exclusively to Peru.

However, Peru's wine production is only 43 million liters per year, and exports are very limited. Yang Cheng does not want to maintain an unprofitable winery.

However, Jose's words reminded him that Peruvian red wine was not as good as Chilean red wine. As the main wine producing area in the New World, Chilean red wine was very famous.

So he said, "I would be very grateful if Mr. Jose could help me get a winery in Chile."

Jose smiled bitterly, "Chile?"

Chile is the longest and narrowest country in the world. It has endless glaciers and snow peaks, as well as criss-crossing lakes and rivers. Some are majestic or some are beautiful. All kinds of gorgeous scenery are gathered in this mysterious country, which has countless shocking nature. The scenery and geographical conditions have also created Chile’s wine-producing regions, which are complex and rich in personality.

Speaking of which, Chilean wine is actually the most suitable for Yang Cheng’s needs and goals in building a wine group. After all, Chile has always been famous for the production of daily table wine. In recent years, with the strong investment from winemakers and investors, surprises are constantly emerging. The wines produced are increasingly impressive.

Chile's grape growing areas are divided into six main production areas. The northernmost Atacama is close to Peru and has a similar climate, so it is famous for the production of Pisco brandy. The wine produced is usually light-bodied and has high acidity.

It is worth mentioning that although Chilean production areas have always been divided along the north-south direction, in recent years, locals have become more aware that the east-west differences in terroir are more significant. Even in the same dimension, the same grape variety has significant differences in different terroirs. difference.

Therefore, the Chileans, who pay more and more attention to terroir, have developed a horizontal classification concept, dividing the production area from west to east into three major areas: coast area, river valley area and Andes mountain area.

After Jose thought for a moment, he mentioned a winery located in the Elqui Valley at the southern end of the Atacama Desert. This is also the northern end of the Chilean grape growing area. The vineyards are distributed along the steep and steep Elqui River. On the narrow hillside, the grapes enjoy abundant sunshine, biting cold wind and year-round dry air.

The locals have continued to expand their vineyards to higher altitudes, stretching from the coast to altitudes as high as 2,000 meters in the Andes.

These vineyards are particularly suitable for growing Syrah grapes. The wine has rich aromas of violet and black pepper. The style is very similar to the red wine of the Northern Rhone Valley. The wine is even fuller and more powerful, making it perfect for drinking with meat.

"That's the winery owned by a friend of mine. I can introduce him to you. I'm not responsible for the acquisition negotiations."

When Yang Cheng heard this, he felt that this Jose was too stingy. He had just said that he would give it as a gift, but now he let himself buy it. He was no friend. It was nothing more than an excuse.

In Yang Cheng's opinion, that winery must be more valuable, and it would hurt his heart to give it away. However, the Peruvian winery that he wanted to give away was not valuable, and he would not feel bad if he gave it away. It could also be exchanged for favors. Maybe he could win one. Big discounts.

But what Yang Cheng is curious about is why Jose uses his own assets to get preferential treatment for the country. Don’t talk about patriotism. Yang Cheng doesn’t believe it. There must be something profitable in it. Otherwise, with Jose’s shrewdness, he will do it. Such a thankless thing?

As for negotiating with Jose's so-called 'friend', Yang Cheng didn't even think about it. Whatever we were talking about, it was either free or no gift. What's the point of asking him to spend money to buy it? He might as well send someone to investigate.

So he said half-heartedly, "Oh, I'll talk about it when I have a chance~"

Of course Jose is a good person. He can reach the status of a member of a country. How stupid can he be?

Immediately aware of the coldness and alienation in Yang Cheng's words, Jose smiled bitterly and said, "Mr. Yang may have misunderstood. I can't afford to buy a winery in Chile. It costs millions of dollars. I can't afford it even if it's sold, let alone I’ll give you one as a gift.”
