Chapter 829 You Are Good at Acting
The owner of the house is Pierre Bayrou. His factory is in the outer suburbs of Paris. He lives in Paris, has real estate in Nice, and a winery in Bordeaux.
If you want to find Pierre, you have to go to Paris, but Yang Yi has no intention of going to Paris, because rushing is not a business, and he has to make Pierre come to him willingly.
Yang Yi and Xiao Ran were driving on the beautiful country roads in Bordeaux. As far as the eye could see on both sides of the road, there were almost all vineyards.
The scenery is beautiful, but to be honest, the same scenery will soon cause aesthetic fatigue.
But Yang Yi is not tired of the people sitting next to him.
"Actually, buying a winery is not a good investment project. The return is too slow. The Rothschild family bought Chateau Lafite, and it took 80 years to recoup their investment. Then they still need to invest money every year to take care of it. So you still want to buy a winery?”
Xiao Ran looked at the scenery outside the window and whispered: "I just think it feels good to buy a winery. As for letting me take care of the winery, I have no interest in it, so I just said it. Do you think I really Will you buy it?"
Yang Yi smiled and said: "Pierre's asking price for the winery is also a bit high. When he purchased Chateau Aulnon in 2003, he only spent 2.85 million euros. A little more than ten years have passed. It’s impossible to sell if it goes up by one million.”
Xiao Ran spread his hands and said, "Yes, I understand."
Yang Yi shut his mouth for a while, he really didn't know what to say, but then Xiao Ran suddenly said: "Can you taste wine?"
"Well, I remembered some technical terms."
"I mean, can you tell the characteristics of the wine immediately after drinking it? There are also advantages and disadvantages. As for the high-end method of tasting the vintage of the grapes, I won't ask you."
Yang Yi breathed a sigh of relief and said: "No, first of all, I don't like to drink, and then I haven't received any training in this area, so... I definitely can't taste good or bad, and everything in my mouth The red wines all taste the same, and the characteristics are hard to tell."
Xiao Ran sighed: "Fortunately, I know how to taste wine."
"oh?"
"And you can drink it to reveal its characteristics and quality."
"Oh, then you are awesome."
Xiao Ran breathed out, shook her head gently, and said: "My adoptive mother taught me that she is really powerful, but... forget it, my adoptive mother has a wish to buy a winery, because She really enjoyed drinking red wine.”
“Buy a winery in Bordeaux?”
"Yes, to be precise, it is the Left Bank of Bordeaux. After all, it is the most famous production area. Okay, let's not talk about this. Now tell me what terms you know?"
Yang Yi said sincerely: "As long as it is related to red wine, I can tell you everything. Of course there is no problem with etiquette. As long as I have seen it, I can remember it. If I remember it, I will not make a mistake. But this wine I can’t tell whether the drink is good or bad, so the trick is to look at the environment. If the environment is bad, the wine will be good, and if the environment is bad, the wine will be bad.”
Xiao Ran whispered: "Then you also know the difference between the left bank and right bank of Bordeaux and the production areas between the two seas?"
"Of course, the soil conditions are different, the grape varieties grown are different, and just the general tannins and acidity are different."
"Okay, I didn't ask you to memorize the text. Now you remember, if I point out the index finger of my right hand, you will say it is young wine. Then I will point out a few fingers of my left hand and you will say how many years. In turn, you will say it is old wine. It’s a very old wine, but it’s not even a few years old, and I can’t really drink it. Then I stretch out my right thumb, and you’ll see fine tannins. If you stretch out two fingers, you’ll be told that the structure is very good. If you stretch out four fingers, you’ll be told that the structure is very good. Let’s just say it has a long aftertaste, but I’d rather say nothing than talk nonsense.”
Yang Yi shrugged and said: "Of course I know not to talk nonsense, but when we can't speak, it's not easy to just speak Chinese to get through it."
Xiao Ran nodded, and then she whispered: "Okay, we are almost there, get ready to start your performance."
Yang Yi smiled and said: "How can you say it's my performance? Let's start our performance."
Xiao Ran sighed and said: "My acting skills are not good, I can't compare to you, your acting skills are outstanding."
Why does Yang Yi feel that there is something in Xiao Ran's words? But is this the time to ask clearly? Of course not. The best way at this time is to pretend not to hear it.
The car turned a corner, left the road, and drove onto a side road.
The path turned again and led to a winery.
Yang Yi parked the car inside the winery. This is not a famous winery tourist area, so there is not a single customer in the winery. However, whether they are tourists who come by chance or customers who are interested in buying wine, the winery is sure Someone is responsible for hosting.
Yang Yi got out of the car, and then he began to look at the winery's furnishings with a critical eye. After Xiao Ran got out of the car, she also looked at the winery with a critical eye. Then she nodded to Yang Yi and said: "Not bad."
At this moment, a middle-aged man walked out of the winery. He saw Yang Yi and Xiao Ran, and then said loudly in French from a distance: "Hello."
When Yang Yi and Xiao Ran approached, the middle-aged man who came out to greet the guests suddenly said: "You're so boring!"
Yang Yi was stunned for a moment, but Xiao Ran smiled and said, "Can you speak Chinese?"
The middle-aged man who came to greet him smiled bitterly, spread his hands, and said in French: "Unfortunately, I can only say hello to you."
Xiao Ran also smiled and spread her hands, indicating that she didn't understand, and then said in English: "Do you speak English?"
"English is OK, beautiful lady, good afternoon, sir, good afternoon."
Yang Yi smiled back, and then he said politely: "My girlfriend and I were traveling here. We were a little tired, and then we happened to see this winery, so we came here. I hope it won't disturb you."
Yang Yi's attitude is polite and indifferent. His good upbringing allows him to maintain a polite attitude when facing anyone, but that's all.
The middle-aged man stretched out his hand towards Yang Yi and said with a smile: "My name is Lunuo. I am very happy to meet you. Since you have come to the Onon Winery, please taste our delicious wine bar. Of course, our business is equally delicious. .”
Yang Yi nodded and said with a smile: "Thank you, this is exactly what we need."
When Yang Yi and Xiao Ran were invited to go inside, Lu Nuo smiled and said: "When you are very tired, it is so pleasant to be able to sit down and drink a glass of delicious red wine."
Yang Yi let out a long breath. He glanced at his watch and said, "I originally wanted to visit the winery first, but now I feel like I really need to rest for a while."
He lowered his arm and mainly flashed the famous watch on his wrist. I don't know if Runo could see it, but this didn't require any acting skills.
Yang Yi continued to look at everything he could see with a critical eye, and asked with great interest: "Mr. Luno, can you tell us about the history of this winery?"
