Before buying this manor, Yang Jing already knew that because there was a vineyard in this manor, there was a small winery and a wine cellar of his own in the manor, but Yang Jing did not expect that in addition to the winery and wine cellar dedicated to making wine and storing wine in that vineyard, there was such a wine cellar where many precious wines were stored.This also made Yang Jing suddenly realize that he seemed to have forgotten a problem, that is, he could acquire one of the eight major wineries in France at this time.In fact, in 1988, strictly speaking, there were only five French national treasure wineries, and the eight major wineries in later generations had not yet been assembled at this time.Lafite, Latour, Margaux, Mouton, and Obiang, these five wineries are the top national treasure wineries in France, and the three wineries of Euro, Cheval and Patos cannot be compared with the previous five wineries at this time.But even if it's just one of the five national treasures, it's a great thing to buy one of them to collect.At this time, the value of the five major wineries was not high, only fifty or sixty million US dollars, and at this time, because of the stock market crash, the capital behind the five major wineries was in a state of chaos, and several were even seeking to sell their winery shares to cash out.Although the five major wineries of today are also of investment value, they are far less precious than those of later generations, so at the end of the eighties, the owners of these five wineries were almost one after another.So since someone else bought these five wineries, why can't you buy one yourself?
In later generations, it is quite a face-saving and identity thing to become the owner of the five major wineries, countless European and American tycoons want the shares of these five major wineries, but there are only a few top wineries in the world, how can those who own wineries sell their wineries?
In the future, no matter how rich you are, unless you don't want to spend your money, the five major wineries will not be able to buy it at all.Yang Jing, who thought of these things in the wine cellar, was in no mood to stay here any longer, so he hurriedly walked out of the wine cellar, grabbed the phone and dialed Tom Nitz's page.Although mobile phones began to appear in the United States in 1988, the number of mobile phones owned was not very large, and the high cost of telephone calls was the main factor restricting the rapid expansion of this first generation of cellular mobile phones.A real estate agent like Tom Nitz, who was a pure sling a few days ago, is very good to be able to wear a pager.Tom Nitz quickly called back."
Boss, I'm at the airport in Boston right now for a flight to Europe, do you have anything to do?"
There was a lot of background noise on the phone, and Yang Jing could tell that Tomnitz should be in a place with a lot of people."
Donald, after arriving in Europe, inquire about the news of the five major wineries in France, and if you can, you can buy any of the five major wineries directly.Well, the license price I'm giving you is under $80 million. ”"Eighty million dollars?
Oh buy ga, boss, isn't this price too high?
Lafite, the most valuable of the five major wineries, is now only more than 60 million and less than 70 million US dollars" Yang Jing interrupted this guy's words, "Donald, just do what I want, remember, as long as you can buy a winery as soon as possible, you will make a meritorious service." ”"Okay, boss, I promise to complete the mission."
Putting down the phone, Yang Jing's mind calmed down a little.Although Tomnitz is not visible now, this guy's ability is absolutely undoubted, otherwise he would not have such high achievements in the future.With his ability and his own funds, he should be able to buy a winery.The idea of buying a winery somewhat disturbed Yang Jing's mind to visit this manor carefully, but after all, he had become the new owner of this manor, so he continued to tour this manor after thinking about it for a while.In fact, the manor is the same thing, it covers a large area, does not have walls like castles, and does not have a high degree of defense like European castles.But after all, this is a manor that covers an area of more than one square kilometer, and taking a walk here still makes Yang Jing feel like he is visiting in a park.To the north of the main building of the estate is the farm, the vineyard is on the south side of the main building, to the west is the Niagara River, and to the east is a small farm with a few cows and dozens of sheep, some poultry, and a few quart horses.Today's weather was not very good, so Yang Jing didn't try to ride a horse, but wandered to the annex building.Two of the four annexes are connected to the main building, and two are about 30 meters away from the main building, connected to the main building by a cloister in the middle.The annex building that Yang Jing came to was the one located north of the main building, and according to Shelton Butler, this annex building used to be used by Alfred to study some technologies, which could roughly be equivalent to a private laboratory.Alfred, the three DuPont brothers, was not only a great family leader, he was actually a brilliant scientist, and in this respect, Alfred was a bit like his great-grandfather Irene Dupont.You must know that after Pierre DuPont was deported to the American continent by Napoleon, it was developed by relying on the gunpowder making technology of Irene Dupont.As the great-grandson of Irene Dupont, Alfred inherited his great-grandfather's personality and scientific talent, and during his time at the helm of the DuPont family, he developed many high-end technologies for the DuPont family.Shelton housekeeper said that when he was a child, he often saw Alfred doing experiments in the annex building, and heard some very strange "strange noises" from time to time, and the Shelton housekeeper was very curious about the annex building when he was a child, but Sheldon Shelton's father, Sheldon, did not let him go to the annex building to play at all.It wasn't until he was older that Sheldon didn't know what the annex was for.Now, the annex building is rarely in use, and no one lives there every day, except for the maids who clean it.Yang Jing walked along the corridor into the annex building, which was not high, only two and a half stories high, but it covered a large area.The annex building was empty, and the rooms that were full of experimental equipment were no longer visible, leaving only empty houses.There were a few rooms on the second floor that still had some furniture, but Yang Jing had no interest in them.As for the attic on the top floor, it was also empty and there was nothing.After taking a turn upstairs, Yang Jing came to the basement of this annex building.Compared to the emptiness above, the basement, which is also not small, is undoubtedly much more crowded.The damp-proof and ventilation of the basement are very good, at least Yang Jing didn't feel any damp and cold here.Probably because of this, there are a lot of things piled up in this basement that I don't know how many years I don't use.Yang Jing flipped through these things casually and found that most of them were from the fifties and sixties, and of course, there were also things from the thirties and forties.This reminded Yang Jing of the kind of work he did with fat people when he was studying abroad, cleaning up garbage for the rich.This basement may be rubbish to the DuPont family, but thirty years from now, it's enough to make the garbage handlers happy to see even the back molars.For example, this set of National Geographic magazines from 1890 to 1842 is a lot of magazines, although the magazines of 1888 and 1889 are missing.If this set of magazines were to be placed in 30 years' time, let alone a flea market, they would be eligible to be auctioned directly, and they would definitely fetch a very high price.There are also books and magazines published in the early twentieth century, which would be worth a lot of money thirty years later.There are many miscellaneous things in the basement, some of which are obviously put in by the servants later, but some of which are clearly put into the basement by the owner of the manor.For example, in a corner southwest of the basement, there are some broken experimental equipment, some tables and chairs, and some miscellaneous items.Although these things are very shabby, they are still in order, and it is clear that these things must have been damaged by Alfred in the laboratory, and then he ordered the servants to carry them.Among these things, Yang Jing also found some good things, such as the two test benches, the writing desk and a few chairs, all of which were made of fine teak.Teak is a high-grade wood for making high-end furniture, although it is not as valuable as sea yellow and red sandalwood, but it is definitely a precious wood.In the past, many royal families in Europe used teak wood to make furniture.These pieces of teak furniture that look very dilapidated are actually nothing at all, and the dilapidation is only a superficial appearance, and a little cleaning can be rejuvenated.In particular, these pieces of furniture were used by Alfred, which was even more unusual.It's just that Yang Jing can't figure out why the people of the DuPont family left these things here.Now, with the purchase of the manor, these things are completely theirs.This kind of thing of buying a house and picking up leaks is Yang Jing's favorite thing, although whether it is those old magazines and books or these teak furniture compared with those real antiques, the value is still quite different, and you can find valuable things from some garbage that the former owner didn't want, this process is the most exciting.Especially when Yang Jing found a piggy bank in the drawer of his desk and found two glittering gold coins from this piggy bank, Yang Jing's excitement almost reached its climax
