In the bad times, the castle was used to resist the enemy's entering the palace. It was the living place of nobles and knights.
The main tower of tuwell castle is 50 meters high, with a total of 57 rooms of six stories.
Chen Chuan and Marion took a look at the scenery on the third floor and the fourth floor respectively. Later, they climbed to the top floor and looked at the scenery on the left bank of Bordeaux. Looking around, there are many castles and villages, big and small, hidden in the forest. They are very beautiful. This is the first time that Chen Chuan saw this kind of rural landscape in France, which is an achievement.
For Marion, she has achieved three times in a row. She is located on the top floor of such a high castle. Looking at the scenery of the outer door, she feels very comfortable with the Atlantic sea wind blowing through the coastal hills. The wind is sometimes cold and sometimes gentle.
"C'est g é NiAl.".
The French translation of this sentence is so cool.
She took out a lady's cigarette from her bag and asked Chen Chuan with her eyes. When she saw Chen Chuan nodding her head, she lit it, took a cigarette with her fingers, breathed it out slowly, and looked at the vast Bordeaux plain.
She uses her unskilled Putonghua to say four words of "be in a state of Ecstasy". It can be seen that in order to welcome Chen Chuan's arrival, she has also made a lot of efforts in her mouth, learned some everyday expressions, even idioms. Moreover, this idiom even gives her a chance to use it, which is right.
"The castle over there seems to be abandoned, full of trees?" Chen Chuan asked, pointing to a light colored castle in the distance.
Marion followed Chen Chuan's arm and said, "Mr. Chen, can you see so far? I can't see it clearly, but I know that there is an old castle named Elson, which is the Duchy of Elson in the 15th century. Later, the castle was abandoned after a fire
"Fire? Rich family's gratitude and resentment or foreign enemy's attack? " Chen Chuan asked.
"It's the former. Rich families have deep grudges. It must be true in any country in the world, and so is Quanyou Li." Marion, with long chestnut hair hanging down, leans lazily at the end of the city, holding a cigarette in her left hand, and her eyes are a little intoxicated. She goes on, "no one takes over the abandoned castle. It's not expensive, but you have to pay a maintenance fee to get the money."
"Maintenance?"
"Well, it's stipulated by the government that a big castle like Elson has to pay at least 30 million euros for maintenance, so even if it's priced at 1 euro, it's hard to sell." Marion said, "so Mr. Chen, it's a good deal for you to buy towell. I have a 70 hectare vineyard, this old castle, and a wine cellar. There are two years of new wine in the cellar, which will be packaged and sold to you. "
Chen Chuan learned that the maintenance cost of the Chateau presented to him by the system is very low, because the Chateau is a subsidiary asset of the chateau, and it is included in the cost of 10 million euro. This is really quite a turn around.
The value of the winery does not depend on the size of the vineyard. For example, the famous Romani canti winery has a vineyard of 3.5 hectares, and the vineyard of Lafite winery is less than 10 hectares. The area of the five first-class wineries is not large, but the price of wine sold is dozens of times of that of the middle-class winery. The domestic price is at least 5000 yuan per bottle.
"Tuwell's wine is OK. It can be sold to 20 euro a bottle in this supermarket, and its main market is Britain. In the average supermarket, many wines are about 10 euro. 5 Euro wine tastes good, but no matter how low it is, for example, 2 Euro wine, we only use it for stew. " Said Marion.
Marion gave Chen Chuan a brief introduction of some knowledge, this woman is very proficient in all aspects, whether it is to master the knowledge or their own are quite deep. It is worthy of being the top 5% of the total income in France.
As a child, she is quite able to earn 3750 euro a month from an accounting firm, and 2380 euro a month from a part-time financial consultant. Now she has joined Chen Chuan, and her income has risen to 3000 euro. After tax, her income is almost 5500 euro, which is about 43000 yuan. Even in China, she is a high-income group.
But she still doesn't have a house. She lives with a brother and a sister in her parents' home. She is an ambitious person and yearns for a big city like Paris.
When asked about the house price in Paris, she gave an example: 2 million yuan, or 250000 euro. In the first district of Paris, you can only buy a small room of 15 square meters.
Chen Chuanyi smiles. No wonder she is so enthusiastic. According to her salary, she earns 50000 euro a year, works for five years, and can save 250000 Euro without eating or drinking. She can only buy a small room of 15 square meters in Paris, which is obviously not what she wants.
In pursuit of a higher life, people all over the world have the same needs, including Marion and Chen Chuan.
Standing on the tower overlooking Bordeaux, Chen Chuan inevitably wants more ideas, more wealth, more manors, more land
There is a more magnificent castle not far away, Marion said. There is the famous Rose Manor, which is worth about 200 million euros.
Chen Chuan's tuwell manor is incomparable with Rose Manor.Buzz!
They were chatting when a video phone call came in. Chen Chuan saw that it was Wang Facai. The Singaporean girl who came with him.
After Chen Chuan took over, Marion arranged her appearance and clothes.
Although I don't know whether I will leave the country or not, just in case, she doesn't want to be seen as disheveled.
"Hi, Chen Chuan, where are you? We're in San Julian village. Where are you? There are restaurants in the village here. Would you like to have dinner with us? " Wang Facai said.
"Kouchikova, chuansang." Wang Facai next to the big cherry, also full of vitality to say hello.
Chen Chuan takes a look at Marion beside him.
"St. Julian is in the south, not far from here. It's a close neighbor," Marion said
Chen Chuan nodded and said to Wang Facai, "I'm in St. estev. My French friends say it's not far from you. Do you want to come here for dinner?"
Chen Chuan thought of the rich lunch that Marion had asked the castle chef to cook, and they did not finish it. Anyway, meeting is fate. Chen Chuan doesn't mind inviting two friends on the journey to eat together.
If they want to come and eat together.
"Do you have a restaurant where you are?" Wang Facai asked.
"Yes, not only a restaurant, but also a private kitchen." Chen Chuan a smile, "authentic French food, taste should not be bad."
Chen Chuan saw that Wang Facai and Da Yinghua were discussing whether to come or not. What worried them was the traffic problem. There was no public transportation here. They were the sightseeing bus with the group, and they couldn't move on their own.
"Mr. Chen, do you want me to pick up two beautiful ladies?" asked Marion
But after a discussion, they decided not to come. According to the character of neon people, they are most afraid of troubling others.
I hung up the video phone. Chen Chuan felt sorry for the two and missed a big meal.
"It seems that I'm going to have such a big meal for myself." Said Marion with a smile.
Two people walk down from the top floor, spiral tower stairs, look down very high, full of ritual.
The whole castle is a huge maze with 27 bedrooms. It's enough to stay here at night for a party.
In the hall on the first floor, there are so many basketball courts. One side is the living room, where guests chat, and the other side is the dining area. There is no partition between the two areas, so the layout is clear at a glance.
Obviously, the castle has been renovated. In two directions, the walls are made of floor glass windows. The windows are full of light. It's the scene at noon. The sun is slanting on the water surface of the outdoor swimming pool.
The western dining table in the dining area can accommodate at least 30 people. At this time, there are six light service staff, which are some of the necessary staff reserved after dismissing the castle Butler team.
If two people are sitting at both ends of the table, then the dialogue basically depends on shouting.
So Marion chose to sit on Chen Chuan's left.
The waiter opened the chair and sat down.
The food hasn't come yet, but it's very ceremonial.
Standing near Chen Chuan was a young man with tuwell's 30-year home-made red wine in his hand.
Chen Chuan can't actually drink the wine from this region.
The wine produced by St. estev is too astringent. Not only he but also his country is not used to this taste.
Even though it is advertised that the wine here is rich in berry flavor, as well as the aroma of truffle, dried flowers, raspberries and blackberries, Chen Chuan only tastes the strong tannin, and even has a strong earthy flavor.
After the wine is opened, the waiter pours the wine into an open glass bottle, which is called "ventilation". After about ten minutes, pour a third of the wine into the glasses of Marion and Chen Chuan.
Then they started serving, which was essentially the first course of salad, soup and meat sauce. The chef ordered them to look creative and imaginative. In addition, there are all kinds of seafood, as well as small portions of pasta, highlighting a small amount.
The main course is meat, Bordeaux local classic oil sealed duck, foie gras, mutton, steak, pork and lobster, fried bass, fried salmon and so on.
Because the original owner here is not the kind of top rich, there is no 250000 Euro box of caviar or white truffle in the ingredients.
Even so, the food is very rich.
“Bonappétit！” Chen Chuan said a sentence in French, which is equivalent to the Japanese "I started" before dinner.
Two people eating food, casual chat.
Speaking of these six "servants", or "housekeepers", Chen Chuan still thinks that in modern society, with the increase of labor costs and the awareness of equal rights, there is no "servant" concept in these big castles.
But the actual cleaning, manor repair, kitchen and other internal and external chores, still need manpower.
"Another rich man I know has 55 servants in her family." "It's just that when you get along, it's more like a friendship on the surface," Marion said
However, generally speaking, in Europe and the United States, due to social development, labor costs and visa issues, there are few domestic helpers. They are more housekeepers in the upper class and part-time nannies in the middle class. In Southeast Asia, South Asia, the Middle East, Africa and Latin America, servants are real and widespread.Chen Chuan felt that he was not used to having six people watching him at dinner.
The two talked about the concept of servant, including Eastern and Western culture, social structure, local conditions and customs, food gossip, and ways of communication between men and women.
Speaking of the relationship between men and women, Chen Chuan learned from Marion that the French young people's view of love is quite casual. Even if they have established a love relationship, they do their own business on weekdays. They don't contact each other for a few days, and then they don't contact each other for a few days, and then they do something again and again. This is different from China. Young people in China, if the relationship is established, then their actions are consistent, eating together, playing together and sleeping together. Cream puff after the
main course is light and fluffy mousse, and multi layered crispy cake of King cake, crisp and delicious, with a large amount of butter, French bud and cream puff, collocation with a sweet and sour liquor.
The unique aroma of noble rot fungus is from nose to mouth. The balanced acidity makes the wine strong but not greasy. Tasting the sweet wine, feeling the temperature of the afternoon sun shining in through the glass window, listening to the French women talking about hot and cold knowledge, the meal time is pleasant and leisurely.
At the end of the dinner, I'll have another cup of coffee to smell the strong aroma of coffee.
Marion answered a phone call. She answered a few times, hung up the phone and said to Chen Chuan, "manager Lewis is here. His tone is very careful. I think she heard that you are here. Would you like to see me? "
Chen Chuan nodded. He wanted to see the management left by the previous villa leader sooner or later. If it was suitable, he would stay. If it was not suitable, he would leave and recruit new people himself.
This is how he operates all the industries that the system gives away.
Before long, a middle-aged man with a big belly but a smile like Garfield came in. He looked about 50 years old, medium build, wearing jeans and brown suit coat, with a simple face, like a kind and happy Teaser uncle.
Chen Chuan has also imagined what kind of person the manager of such a winery is. His impression seems to be that kind of uncle who keeps exercising, keeps in good shape, and looks handsome all over. He didn't expect to be a Garfield cat.
Uncle Garfield looks nervous.
Marion said, "Hello, Louis. This is Mr. Chen Chuan, the new owner of tuville manor."
"Welcome to Mr. Chen. I'm Gaston Louis Anthony, manager and winemaker here. I've worked here for ten years." Louis said it in English.
In fact, the French, especially the elderly, still reject English. In the street, if you ask a French lady in English, she will pretend that she doesn't understand you
"Hello, Louis." Chen Chuan stood up and held out his hand.
There is a tradition of face-to-face gift in France, but it is generally between women, or between men and women. Although there are also between men, it is relatively rare. Chen Chuan is not interested in making a few face-to-face boos with Uncle Garfield.
Louis saw Chen Chuan's outstretched hand and quickly grasped it.
Chen Chuan felt the message in his mind:
Name: Gaston Louis Anthony
age: 51
Health: excellent
Specialty: wine making
looking at this uncle, Chen Chuan felt a little nervous. It is reasonable to say that a winery that can manage 10 million euro is also a person who has seen the storm. There must be something strange when he is so nervous.
"Do you want to make a formal report, or do you want to sit down and have a cup of coffee and have a chat?" Chen Chuan asked.
Louis was stunned and realized that Chen Chuan spoke fluent French. He flattered him with a smile and said, "Mr. Chen's French is very good. I To be honest, I have a situation to report to you. If it's convenient, please go to the wine cellar
Chen Chuan takes a look at Marion, who is also at a loss.
She is the accountant in charge of the audit of the winery. She didn't know anything strange. Seeing Louis like this, it seems that it's something bad. She also became nervous.
If the situation is relatively large, then she is also derelict of duty, because she and Chen Chuan reported that the audit of the winery is going well. And Chen Chuan in the trust of her, did not come to the winery personally check, on the sale contract signed.
"Lewis, what's up?" Asked Marion nervously.
"Let's Go to the cellar and say Lewis said.
"Yes, just in time to visit the wine cellar." Chen Chuandao.
Chen Chuan and Marion make Louis' car and go to the wine cellar.
Six kilometers away, all the way unobstructed, no other vehicles, no traffic lights, after a while effort to.
The wine cellar is at the bottom. Chen Chuan follows Louis down, like a wartime air raid shelter, like a labyrinth.
There are all kinds of photos hanging on the walls of the tunnel. Most of them are pictures of celebrities from all over the world visiting here and taking pictures with the villa owner. Among them are several familiar stars in China. Chen Chuan estimates that his photos will have to be hung up in the future.
Inside the wine cellar, cement, stainless steel and wood elements are perfectly combined. There is no paint, no other smell, only strong aroma of oak barrel and red wine fermentation.Through the crisscross tunnels, Chen Chuan came to a hall. He was shocked by the scene before him. At a glance, the continuous oak barrels were arranged in order.
Louis wiped the sweat with his handkerchief, took three clean wine glasses, took the wine out of an oak barrel with a long straw like tool, and divided it into three glasses.

Later, they climbed to the top floor and looked at the scenery on the left bank of Bordeaux. Looking around, there are many castles and villages, big and small, hidden in the forest. They are very beautiful. This is the first time that Chen Chuan saw this kind of rural landscape in France, which is an achievement. For Marion, she has achieved three times in a row. She is located on the top floor of such a high castle. Looking at the scenery of the outer door, she feels very comfortable with the Atlantic sea wind blowing through the coastal hills. The wind is sometimes cold and sometimes gentle. "C'est g NiAl.". The French translation of this sentence is so cool. She took out a lady's cigarette from her bag and asked Chen Chuan with her eyes. When she saw Chen Chuan nodding her head, she lit it, took a cigarette with her fingers, breathed it out slowly, and looked at the vast Bordeaux plain. She uses her unskilled Putonghua to say four words of "be in a state of Ecstasy". It can be seen that in order to welcome Chen Chuan's arrival, she has also made a lot of efforts in her mouth, learned some everyday expressions, even idioms. Moreover, this idiom even gives her a chance to use it, which is right. "The castle over there seems to be abandoned, full of trees?" Chen Chuan asked, pointing to a light colored castle in the distance. Marion followed Chen Chuan's arm and said, "Mr. Chen, can you see so far? I can't see it clearly, but I know that there is an old castle named Elson, which is the Duchy of Elson in the 15th century. Later, the castle was abandoned after a fire "Fire? Rich family's gratitude and resentment or foreign enemy's attack? " Chen Chuan asked. "It's the former. Rich families have deep grudges. It must be true in any country in the world, and so is Quanyou Li." Marion, with long chestnut hair hanging down, leans lazily at the end of the city, holding a cigarette in her left hand, and her eyes are a little intoxicated. She goes on, "no one takes over the abandoned castle. It's not expensive, but you have to pay a maintenance fee to get the money." "Maintenance?" "Well, it's stipulated by the government that a big castle like Elson has to pay at least 30 million euros for maintenance, so even if it's priced at 1 euro, it's hard to sell." Marion said, "so Mr. Chen, it's a good deal for you to buy towell. I have a 70 hectare vineyard, this old castle, and a wine cellar. There are two years of new wine in the cellar, which will be packaged and sold to you. " Chen Chuan learned that the maintenance cost of the Chateau presented to him by the system is very low, because the Chateau is a subsidiary asset of the chateau, and it is included in the cost of 10 million euro. This is really quite a turn around. The value of the winery does not depend on the size of the vineyard. For example, the famous Romani canti winery has a vineyard of 3.5 hectares, and the vineyard of Lafite winery is less than 10 hectares. The area of the five first-class wineries is not large, but the price of wine sold is dozens of times of that of the middle-class winery. The domestic price is at least 5000 yuan per bottle. "Tuwell's wine is OK. It can be sold to 20 euro a bottle in this supermarket, and its main market is Britain. In the average supermarket, many wines are about 10 euro. 5 Euro wine tastes good, but no matter how low it is, for example, 2 Euro wine, we only use it for stew. " Said Marion. Marion gave Chen Chuan a brief introduction of some knowledge, this woman is very proficient in all aspects, whether it is to master the knowledge or their own are quite deep. It is worthy of being the top 5% of the total income in France. As a child, she is quite able to earn 3750 euro a month from an accounting firm, and 2380 euro a month from a part-time financial consultant. Now she has joined Chen Chuan, and her income has risen to 3000 euro. After tax, her income is almost 5500 euro, which is about 43000 yuan. Even in China, she is a high-income group. But she still doesn't have a house. She lives with a brother and a sister in her parents' home. She is an ambitious person and yearns for a big city like Paris. When asked about the house price in Paris, she gave an example: 2 million yuan, or 250000 euro. In the first district of Paris, you can only buy a small room of 15 square meters. Chen Chuanyi smiles. No wonder she is so enthusiastic. According to her salary, she earns 50000 euro a year, works for five years, and can save 250000 Euro without eating or drinking. She can only buy a small room of 15 square meters in Paris, which is obviously not what she wants. In pursuit of a higher life, people all over the world have the same needs, including Marion and Chen Chuan. Standing on the tower overlooking Bordeaux, Chen Chuan inevitably wants more ideas, more wealth, more manors, more land There is a more magnificent castle not far away, Marion said. There is the famous Rose Manor, which is worth about 200 million euros. Chen Chuan's tuwell manor is incomparable with Rose Manor.Buzz! They were chatting when a video phone call came in. Chen Chuan saw that it was Wang Facai. The Singaporean girl who came with him. After Chen Chuan took over, Marion arranged her appearance and clothes. Although I don't know whether I will leave the country or not, just in case, she doesn't want to be seen as disheveled. "Hi, Chen Chuan, where are you? We're in San Julian village. Where are you? There are restaurants in the village here. Would you like to have dinner with us? " Wang Facai said. "Kouchikova, chuansang." Wang Facai next to the big cherry, also full of vitality to say hello. Chen Chuan takes a look at Marion beside him. "St. Julian is in the south, not far from here. It's a close neighbor," Marion said Chen Chuan nodded and said to Wang Facai, "I'm in St. estev. My French friends say it's not far from you. Do you want to come here for dinner?" Chen Chuan thought of the rich lunch that Marion had asked the castle chef to cook, and they did not finish it. Anyway, meeting is fate. Chen Chuan doesn't mind inviting two friends on the journey to eat together. If they want to come and eat together. "Do you have a restaurant where you are?" Wang Facai asked. "Yes, not only a restaurant, but also a private kitchen." Chen Chuan a smile, "authentic French food, taste should not be bad." Chen Chuan saw that Wang Facai and Da Yinghua were discussing whether to come or not. What worried them was the traffic problem. There was no public transportation here. They were the sightseeing bus with the group, and they couldn't move on their own. "Mr. Chen, do you want me to pick up two beautiful ladies?" asked Marion But after a discussion, they decided not to come. According to the character of neon people, they are most afraid of troubling others. I hung up the video phone. Chen Chuan felt sorry for the two and missed a big meal. "It seems that I'm going to have such a big meal for myself." Said Marion with a smile. Two people walk down from the top floor, spiral tower stairs, look down very high, full of ritual. The whole castle is a huge maze with 27 bedrooms. It's enough to stay here at night for a party. In the hall on the first floor, there are so many basketball courts. One side is the living room, where guests chat, and the other side is the dining area. There is no partition between the two areas, so the layout is clear at a glance. Obviously, the castle has been renovated. In two directions, the walls are made of floor glass windows. The windows are full of light. It's the scene at noon. The sun is slanting on the water surface of the outdoor swimming pool. The western dining table in the dining area can accommodate at least 30 people. At this time, there are six light service staff, which are some of the necessary staff reserved after dismissing the castle Butler team. If two people are sitting at both ends of the table, then the dialogue basically depends on shouting. So Marion chose to sit on Chen Chuan's left. The waiter opened the chair and sat down. The food hasn't come yet, but it's very ceremonial. Standing near Chen Chuan was a young man with tuwell's 30-year home-made red wine in his hand. Chen Chuan can't actually drink the wine from this region. The wine produced by St. estev is too astringent. Not only he but also his country is not used to this taste. Even though it is advertised that the wine here is rich in berry flavor, as well as the aroma of truffle, dried flowers, raspberries and blackberries, Chen Chuan only tastes the strong tannin, and even has a strong earthy flavor. After the wine is opened, the waiter pours the wine into an open glass bottle, which is called "ventilation". After about ten minutes, pour a third of the wine into the glasses of Marion and Chen Chuan. Then they started serving, which was essentially the first course of salad, soup and meat sauce. The chef ordered them to look creative and imaginative. In addition, there are all kinds of seafood, as well as small portions of pasta, highlighting a small amount. The main course is meat, Bordeaux local classic oil sealed duck, foie gras, mutton, steak, pork and lobster, fried bass, fried salmon and so on. Because the original owner here is not the kind of top rich, there is no 250000 Euro box of caviar or white truffle in the ingredients. Even so, the food is very rich. Bonapptit Chen Chuan said a sentence in French, which is equivalent to the Japanese "I started" before dinner. Two people eating food, casual chat. Speaking of these six "servants", or "housekeepers", Chen Chuan still thinks that in modern society, with the increase of labor costs and the awareness of equal rights, there is no "servant" concept in these big castles. But the actual cleaning, manor repair, kitchen and other internal and external chores, still need manpower. "Another rich man I know has 55 servants in her family." "It's just that when you get along, it's more like a friendship on the surface," Marion said However, generally speaking, in Europe and the United States, due to social development, labor costs and visa issues, there are few domestic helpers. They are more housekeepers in the upper class and part-time nannies in the middle class. In Southeast Asia, South Asia, the Middle East, Africa and Latin America, servants are real and widespread.Chen Chuan felt that he was not used to having six people watching him at dinner. The two talked about the concept of servant, including Eastern and Western culture, social structure, local conditions and customs, food gossip, and ways of communication between men and women. Speaking of the relationship between men and women, Chen Chuan learned from Marion that the French young people's view of love is quite casual. Even if they have established a love relationship, they do their own business on weekdays. They don't contact each other for a few days, and then they don't contact each other for a few days, and then they do something again and again. This is different from China. Young people in China, if the relationship is established, then their actions are consistent, eating together, playing together and sleeping together. Cream puff after the main course is light and fluffy mousse, and multi layered crispy cake of King cake, crisp and delicious, with a large amount of butter, French bud and cream puff, collocation with a sweet and sour liquor. The unique aroma of noble rot fungus is from nose to mouth. The balanced acidity makes the wine strong but not greasy. Tasting the sweet wine, feeling the temperature of the afternoon sun shining in through the glass window, listening to the French women talking about hot and cold knowledge, the meal time is pleasant and leisurely. At the end of the dinner, I'll have another cup of coffee to smell the strong aroma of coffee. Marion answered a phone call. She answered a few times, hung up the phone and said to Chen Chuan, "manager Lewis is here. His tone is very careful. I think she heard that you are here. Would you like to see me? " Chen Chuan nodded. He wanted to see the management left by the previous villa leader sooner or later. If it was suitable, he would stay. If it was not suitable, he would leave and recruit new people himself. This is how he operates all the industries that the system gives away. Before long, a middle-aged man with a big belly but a smile like Garfield came in. He looked about 50 years old, medium build, wearing jeans and brown suit coat, with a simple face, like a kind and happy Teaser uncle. Chen Chuan has also imagined what kind of person the manager of such a winery is. His impression seems to be that kind of uncle who keeps exercising, keeps in good shape, and looks handsome all over. He didn't expect to be a Garfield cat. Uncle Garfield looks nervous. Marion said, "Hello, Louis. This is Mr. Chen Chuan, the new owner of tuville manor." "Welcome to Mr. Chen. I'm Gaston Louis Anthony, manager and winemaker here. I've worked here for ten years." Louis said it in English. In fact, the French, especially the elderly, still reject English. In the street, if you ask a French lady in English, she will pretend that she doesn't understand you "Hello, Louis." Chen Chuan stood up and held out his hand. There is a tradition of face-to-face gift in France, but it is generally between women, or between men and women. Although there are also between men, it is relatively rare. Chen Chuan is not interested in making a few face-to-face boos with Uncle Garfield. Louis saw Chen Chuan's outstretched hand and quickly grasped it. Chen Chuan felt the message in his mind: Name: Gaston Louis Anthony age: 51 Health: excellent Specialty: wine making looking at this uncle, Chen Chuan felt a little nervous. It is reasonable to say that a winery that can manage 10 million euro is also a person who has seen the storm. There must be something strange when he is so nervous. "Do you want to make a formal report, or do you want to sit down and have a cup of coffee and have a chat?" Chen Chuan asked. Louis was stunned and realized that Chen Chuan spoke fluent French. He flattered him with a smile and said, "Mr. Chen's French is very good. I To be honest, I have a situation to report to you. If it's convenient, please go to the wine cellar Chen Chuan takes a look at Marion, who is also at a loss. She is the accountant in charge of the audit of the winery. She didn't know anything strange. Seeing Louis like this, it seems that it's something bad. She also became nervous. If the situation is relatively large, then she is also derelict of duty, because she and Chen Chuan reported that the audit of the winery is going well. And Chen Chuan in the trust of her, did not come to the winery personally check, on the sale contract signed. "Lewis, what's up?" Asked Marion nervously. "Let's Go to the cellar and say Lewis said. "Yes, just in time to visit the wine cellar." Chen Chuandao. Chen Chuan and Marion make Louis' car and go to the wine cellar. Six kilometers away, all the way unobstructed, no other vehicles, no traffic lights, after a while effort to. The wine cellar is at the bottom. Chen Chuan follows Louis down, like a wartime air raid shelter, like a labyrinth. There are all kinds of photos hanging on the walls of the tunnel. Most of them are pictures of celebrities from all over the world visiting here and taking pictures with the villa owner. Among them are several familiar stars in China. Chen Chuan estimates that his photos will have to be hung up in the future. Inside the wine cellar, cement, stainless steel and wood elements are perfectly combined. There is no paint, no other smell, only strong aroma of oak barrel and red wine fermentation.Through the crisscross tunnels, Chen Chuan came to a hall. He was shocked by the scene before him. At a glance, the continuous oak barrels were arranged in order. Louis wiped the sweat with his handkerchief, took three clean wine glasses, took the wine out of an oak barrel with a long straw like tool, and divided it into three glasses. www.mylovenovel.com , the fastest update of the webnovel!
