Chapter 265 Buying a Winery to Pretend to Be Forceful (Subscribe)
The winery that Raiola helped Lin Dong find has a history of one hundred years. It has gone through four generations of a family. It can be said that it has experienced a family from rise to decline.
The winery is actually not that big, but the equipment inside is very complete. Some of the staff in the winery have worked in the winery for several generations.
According to Raiola, this winery was built by the great-grandfather of the current owner. The great-grandfather of the owner almost started from scratch. Because of his love for wine, he finally established this winery. Unfortunately, in his father’s generation, the family began to decline. Now it has been passed down to him, and the family is just a family of rich people.
In addition, he was not good at management, so he had no choice but to sell it. At this time, Lin Dong just mentioned it to Raiola, and Raiola found the winery with his own relationship.
According to the price here in Bordeaux, an ordinary winery covering an area of 1 hectare can cost hundreds of thousands of euros. If it is a well-known winery, the price will be more expensive.
Raiola's winery was originally quite well-known, but now it is a bit defeated, covering an area of 4 hectares. According to the original price, this winery needs at least 300 million or more, but now, it only needs 150 million euros to win.
After the visit, the owner of the winery has been explaining the history of the winery, with a touch of pride and loneliness on his face. He is proud that this winery was established by his great-grandfather. Although it occupies a small area, it was once considered a well-known name in Bordeaux. The reason for the loneliness is that, if nothing else, this winery will no longer belong to him from now on.
"If Lin really decides, I hope you can stay with everyone here, they are all experienced and skilled employees, and even several generations of them have worked here," the owner of the winery finally said.
"Yes, but I need to inspect. If they are really as you said, they will definitely stay here." Lin Dong nodded.
"Thank you~~~" When he said these two words, the owner of the winery was full of confidence. Obviously, he had great confidence in the people in his winery. However, this winery no longer belongs to him from today, this middle-aged Frenchman named Baptiste.
"OPPA~~~ Are you really determined to buy this place?" Seeing that Lin Dong seemed to have finally made a decision, IU, who had been by his side without making a sound, finally asked.
From the time I came to France to meet Raiola, except for Lin Dong introducing him to Raiola, IU hardly spoke a word along the way.
The language barrier is only one aspect, and what made IU even more uncomfortable was the look in Raiola's eyes. The last time Raiola saw Lin Dong with a woman was in Italy, it was already several months ago.
After that, he never saw a woman next to Lin Dong again, and even in Italy, Lin Dong didn't get any gossip about him with women in the attention of the Italian media, which seemed unbelievable to Raiola.
So, today, a new woman appeared beside Lin Dong, and she even specially introduced it to Raiola. Although Lin Dong didn't say that IU was Lin Dong's girlfriend, Raiola had made up his own mind.
"How is it? It's not bad here, although it's not too big." Well, this guy actually started to act aggressive.
"Big hair~~~" For Lin Dong's pretentiousness, IU can only send a sigh and a small look of admiration.
"If you like, you can come here often in the future, and it's good to bring your family here for vacation. Anyway, the villas over there are always empty." There are actually many houses in the winery where people can live.
As the owner of the winery, he naturally has his own residence. The best single-family villa in the winery is the residence of the owner of the winery.
"Really?" The winery is not only far away from the hustle and bustle of the city, but also has a very nice environment, so it is quite suitable for a vacation.
"Of course~~~" Lin Dong stretched out his hand and tapped IU's expectant forehead.
"I think ~~~ we can sign the contract." After talking to IU, Lin Dong turned his head and said to Baptiste, the original owner of the winery.
"Yes~~~" the owner of the winery nodded immediately.
Immediately, the lawyer accompanied by Raiola came out and left with the owner of the winery.
"The drafting of the contract may take some time. How about we taste the wine together? As far as I know, there must be a lot of good wine in this century-old winery." Raiola is actually a wine lover, and he even has his own winery, but his winery is only for drinking and receiving friends, so the winery is only a quarter of this winery.
As for why Lin Dong bought such a large winery, it wasn't purely for pretense. In fact, he still had his own ideas. Lin Dong vaguely remembered that there seemed to be celebrities who bought wineries in Europe and then sold them. According to Lin Dong's knowledge, the same is true of Pirlo's wineries.
When it comes to drinking, Lin Dong is not keen on it, but since it is the wine from his own winery, he naturally wants to taste it a little. As for before, Raiola was the one who tasted it.
"By the way~~~~ You are not of age, I know, you are considered an adult at the age of 20 in Korea." Lin Dong turned to look at IU.
"I'm an adult, and the title of my album this time is "20 Years Old Spring"" IU immediately retorted, although she couldn't hear the conversation between Lin Dong and Raiola, she could guess based on the expressions and tone of the conversation between the two.
"Okay, but you can't drink too much," Lin Dong said.
"Okay~~~ I'll just taste a little bit, this is OPPA winery," IU nodded immediately.
As they spoke, the two of them approached the winemaker with a group of three, and then a group of four walked to the wine cellar.
Lin Dong didn't understand the so-called wine tasting. He had hardly touched red wine before. When he was at his worst, Lin Dong drank beer and white wine.
Moreover, Lin Dong didn't know how to distinguish between good and bad wine. After all, Lin Dong at that time just wanted to get drunk to vent his dissatisfaction.
Not to mention the red wine now, at this point, Raiola acted like an expert. Seeing Raiola pretending to be tasting wine with a look of enjoyment, Lin Dong couldn't help but complain crazily in his heart.
It’s really that Raiola’s image is a bit different from the legendary sommelier. On TV, the sommelier appears in a basic suit and leather shoes, handsome and elegant, but look at the guy in front of him, he has a big belly, almost as big as a seven-month pregnant woman.
As for her colleague IU, in fact, she is similar to Lin Dong, she doesn't understand wine at all, what she drinks is more of the freshness and the strange mood, this winery will soon become the OPPA winery I know.
Even in IU's mind, today's experience is almost like filming a TV series, no, it should be more magical than filming a TV series.
