Volume 8 Final Chapter Chapter 1221 Let’s fall in love?
"Shall we fall in love?"
On a bench in the wild park, a woman said this to Nan Yi.
It doesn’t matter what the woman’s name is. Nan Yi follows his own heart and calls her Xiao Gao or Xiao San.
The reason why this scene happened can be traced back to more than ten days ago.
That day, Gong Xue called Nan Yi to Baiwanzhuang and prepared four dishes and a soup as usual. The dishes were home-cooked dishes, and the soup was Bhutanese blind fish soup, which was meant to nourish his body. Her intention was self-evident.
Before eating, Gong Xue served Nan Yi a bowl of soup.
"Wang Zongjun called me this morning and asked me if I was interested in investing in Wang Media. It was apparently asking me, but it was actually asking you."
Nan Yi scooped a spoonful of soup to his mouth, drank it slowly, and then said, "You only asked this, and didn't say anything else?"
"No, they are definitely waiting for your interview." Gong Xue also served herself a bowl of soup. "Since June of the year before last, Wang Media has made a lot of moves on its shares. Are the two brothers preparing to go public?"
"It should be. If it's not listed, there's no need to establish a shareholding system." Nan Yi pondered for a while and said, "According to the current development trend of Wang Media, it is still quite promising. You can consider investing in it in your personal name."
"Personally?" Gong Xue asked in surprise, "Not in the name of Wangbei Media?"
"No, everyone knows that Wangbei Media is my property. The two brothers of the Wang family are only motivated by the purpose of raising money and cashing out. I have to protect my reputation and cannot participate in any activity that is too ugly."
Gong Xue rolled her eyes at Nan Yi and said, "Don't I need to take care of my feathers?"
Nan Yi smiled, "You know how to operate it, and your feathers won't get dirty. I will talk to the boss of the Wang family. I will pay for the investment, and the shares belong to you personally. Just think of it as my personal retirement fund for you. Well, it's just a part of it."
"Part of it? What else? Is there anything other than money?"
Gong Xue asked three questions in a row.
Nan Yi smiled mysteriously, "Of course there is. Don't ask now. You will receive a surprise when the day comes. "
"Virtue."
Nan Yi said there would be a surprise, so of course there couldn’t be none.
During the sage time in the evening, Nan Yi suggested that the two of them go on a journey of acquaintance. Looking back on the past, the process from their acquaintance to their understanding of each other was a little bit unbearable. This time, the two of them will transform themselves into justice and make up for the belated romance.
the next day.
At 30,000 feet in the air, Gong Xue looked at Nan Yi with scrutiny. According to the setting, the two did not know each other at the moment, but just happened to sit next to each other.
Well, sitting next to each other on a private jet.
Nan Yi dozed off in his seat, his body swaying. When he tilted his body, his hair would accidentally brush Gong Xue's cheek, and then quickly move away with the shaking. Gong Xue felt a strange feeling.
Nan Yi was dressed very elegantly today, in a suit and leather shoes, looking neat and tidy. Some men look silly in suits, perhaps due to their own limitations. Wearing a suit not only does not beautify the body, but on the contrary makes short men shorter and fat men fatter.
The suit Nan Yi was wearing was very fitting. Gong Xue estimated that he was in good shape through visual observation. She guessed that he probably had the habit of getting up early to exercise, so he showed no signs of gaining weight even in his forties.
Just as Gong Xue was lost in thought, Nan Yi suddenly woke up from her dream, opened his eyes and saw her, and asked in confusion: "Madam, do I look weird when I sleep?"
"Ah, no, that's not it..." Gong Xue explained incoherently.
Nan Yi continued to ask, "Do I snore or make other strange noises?"
Gong Xue smiled and joked, "Sir, you slept very peacefully, only your head was not very well behaved."
“The seats are a bit narrow and sitting upright is a bit uncomfortable.”
"Yeah?"
"Yes." Nan Yi looked down at his watch. "The plane will soon arrive in Paris. Is this your final destination, ma'am?"
"No, I'm going to Bordeaux." Gong Xue laughed and almost couldn't hold back her laughter.
"What a coincidence! I'm going to Bordeaux too. I need to take care of some business today, so I can go around tomorrow. I've been to Bordeaux several times and I'm very familiar with it. Would I have the honor of being your tour guide?"
"If we are destined to meet again in Bordeaux, I will accept your invitation."
Are these two destined to be together?
Of course there was. Nan Yi had booked the room in the morning. It was not a high-end hotel, but a homestay with a history of more than 200 years. He had called to inquire. The doors of their rooms were facing each other, so they would meet each other when entering and leaving.
"Okay, let fate decide."
When the plane arrived in Paris, Nan Yi and his companion did not go to Bordeaux together, but went their separate ways.
When Nan Yi said he had official business, it was not an excuse, nor was it an element to enrich his "personality". He really had official business, or you could say it was a private matter.
With the non-stop flight and the time difference factor, we arrived in Paris just in time for afternoon tea.
Nan Yi personally went through the formalities to register a Xueji Real Estate Services Company in Paris. Its main business is to provide real estate investment services in France, including apartments, villas and wineries, to domestic wealthy people.
Although there is the variable of Château Lafon on Corgassi Island, Bordeaux + castle, in the eyes of laymen, must be synonymous with high-end red wine. In fact, this is just a word game.
There is one thing that makes Bordeaux wineries different from others - they love to be named "Chateau", which literally means castle in Chinese.
"Chateau" is just an abstract concept, which only means that the winery has its own vineyards and makes its own wine. It may or may not have a castle building. Nan Yi is sure that when the rich buy wineries, they do not value the core element of the vineyard, but come for the word "castle". Their focus will be on whether the house is beautiful.
There are nearly 10,000 wineries called castles in Bordeaux today. The tsunami of the financial crisis has already set off, and many of them will surely be destroyed. It won’t be long before the opportunity to pick up bargains will come.
By analyzing the needs of domestic wealthy people, they buy a batch of castles in advance and sell them slowly to make a profit from the difference, and provide intermediary services to help the wealthy "speculate on castles".
Bordeaux has always had an international flavor. Domestic tycoons are neither the first nor the last foreigners to invest in this place. Belgians own 45 Bordeaux wineries, and the British, Irish and Germans have also invested in them. Even the five famous wineries have often changed hands with foreigners in history.
In 1797 , at the end of the French Revolution, Chateau Lafite was bought by a Dutch consortium. Chateau Margaux was sold to the Greeks in 1977. Some classified wineries, tracing back five generations, were all bought by foreign buyers. The domestic tycoons were just a group of latecomers.
The wave of capital expansion that Japan bought across the world in the 1980s will soon be replicated by domestic tycoons. Confined to Bordeaux, they will most likely follow in the footsteps of the Japanese and retrace their steps following the financial crisis.
Since the late 1970s , while doing business, Nan Yi has always been carefully observing other colleagues who have entered the business world. When it comes to research and analysis, he may not be the first, but when it comes to cognition, he is probably not far behind.
In the past less than thirty years, Nan Yi has classified the wealth-making models of the wealthy people who have emerged in every era, and many of them are even classified down to the individual level.
As a bystander, Nan Yi has calmly analyzed how the top wealthy people made their fortunes and what are the reasons behind them. He did so not only to deepen his understanding of the times, but also to draw the essence and lessons from it.
If you immerse yourself in some things for a long time, you will naturally master some tricks. Without the memory bonus of the previous life, Nan Yi can come to the conclusion that the domestic rich will go to Bordeaux to buy castles just by analysis. He can also divide them according to the groups and roughly list the reasons why they buy castles.
The gap created by the "limited liability" of limited liability companies and the inexplicable uneasiness about mysterious forces have led to an unprecedented unification in the asset flight behavior of many people. On top of this common point, there are other intentions.
Many people want to buy a winery on a whim, thinking they can make a fortune by speculating in the domestic market. However, they often only see the cost of acquiring a winery and ignore the fact that it is a process of continuous investment.
From the Greek and Roman Dionysian festivals to the Holy Blood of Christianity, wine is embedded in the core of Western culture.
For winemakers, managing a vineyard is like writing a rich family history. When they were young, they watched their grandfather plant grape vines; when they grew up, their grandchildren used the grapes from the trees to make fine wine.
To put it bluntly, the owner of a French winery is a grape farmer. They can act like a French gentleman by wearing a tie and holding a wine glass, but throughout the year, they are more often fighting against nature - catching pests on the vines, harvesting fruits in the fields in autumn, and finally diving into the wine cellar filled with the smell of rotten grapes in pursuit of fine wine.
Behind the image of a romantic gentleman, piles of excrement and urine are the main theme throughout their lives. What the grandparents did can only benefit the grandchildren. What matters is the perseverance and patience with time.
The domestic tycoons grew up with the mindset of working hard and fast, overtaking others, and quickly establishing international brands. As soon as they came into the world, they stood at the drain outlet of the reservoir. Money was like a school of fish caught in the turbulent water, and the foolish ones would jump into the fishing nets and around the tycoons. The tycoons only needed to use a wooden rake to gather them together.
It is difficult for people who have made quick money to spend three generations and decades to run an industry. What they pursue tirelessly is the word "speed". They plant a few coins in the spring and in the autumn, the ground is covered with golden watermelons. This is the kind of business that people do.
Stir-fried orchids, stir-fried koi... ginseng, cordyceps, onions, ginger, garlic, chickens, ducks, geese, stocks and futures, health products, there is nothing they haven’t fried, and the winery does the same.
Moreover, for many wealthy people, the bottom line of buying a winery is just to avoid losing money. As for why they buy it, it may be for investment needs, it may be for internal use within the company, it may be for face and image, or it may be used as a gift to a noble person.
