Before buying the manor, Yang Jing knew that there was a small winery and a wine cellar in the manor because there was a vineyard. However, Yang Jing did not expect that there was such a wine cellar with many precious and famous wines besides the winery and wine cellar dedicated to making wine and storing wine for the vineyard.

This also makes Yang Jing suddenly realize that he seems to have forgotten another problem, that is, he can buy one of the eight major wineries in France at this time.

In fact, in 1988, strictly speaking, there were only five national treasure wineries in France, and the eight wineries of later generations had not been collected at this time. Lafite, Latu, Margaux, Mutong and Obiang are the top national treasure wineries in France. As for Ouxi, Baima and Bertus, they cannot be compared with the previous five wineries at this time.

However, even if it is only a treasure winery in the five major countries, it would be a great thing to buy one of them for collection.

At this time, the value of the five wineries is not high, only US $50 million or US $60 million. Moreover, due to the stock disaster, the capital behind the five wineries is in a state of chaos, and several are even seeking to cash out their winery shares.

Although the five wineries now have the same investment value, they are far less precious than later generations. Therefore, in the late 1980s, the owners of the five wineries almost changed one by one.

Since someone else bought these five wineries, why can't you buy one yourself?

In future generations, being the owner of the five major wineries is a matter of great face and identity. Countless European and American tycoons want the shares of the five major wineries, but there are only a few top wineries in the world. How can those who own wineries sell their wineries?

In future generations, no matter how rich you are, unless you don't spend your money desperately, the five wineries can't buy it at all.

Yang Jing, who thought of these things in the wine cellar, was not in the mood to stay here any more. She hurried out of the wine cellar, grabbed the phone and dialed tomitz's pager.

In 1988, although mobile phones have begun to appear in the United States, the holdings are not many. High telephone charges are the main factor restricting the rapid expansion of this first generation cellular mobile phone. Now, even in the United States, only a few rich or important government officials can hold mobile phones. A real estate agent like tomitz, who was a pure hanging wire a few days ago, would be very good to wear a pager.

Tomitz called back soon.

"Boss, I'm at the airport in Boston to fly to Europe. What can I do for you?" there was a loud background noise on the phone. Yang Jing could tell that tomitz should be in a place with a lot of people.

"Donald, after you arrive in Europe, ask about the five major wineries in France. If you can, you can buy any of the five wineries directly. Well, the authorized price I give you is within $80 million."

"80 million dollars? Oh, MAIGA, boss, is this price too high? Lafite villa, the most valuable of the five wineries, is now only more than 60 million dollars, less than 70 million dollars..."

Yang Jing interrupted the guy, "Donald, just do what I mean. Remember, as long as you can buy a winery as soon as possible, you will make contributions."

"Well, boss, I promise to finish the task."

Put down the phone, Yang Jing's mind was more or less stable. Although tomitz is not a mountain without dew, there is absolutely no doubt about this guy's ability, otherwise he would not have such high achievements in future generations. With his ability and his own money, he must be able to buy a winery.

The idea of buying the winery somewhat disturbed Yang Jing's mind of carefully visiting the manor, but after all, he had become the new owner of the manor, so he continued to visit the manor after thinking for a while.

In fact, the manor is the same thing. It covers a large area and is not as fenced as the castle, nor as highly defensive as the castle in Europe.

But after all, this is a manor covering an area of more than one square kilometer. Walking here still gives Yang Jing a feeling of visiting the park.

In the north of the main building of the manor is the farm, and the vineyard is in the south of the main building. In the west is the Niagara River, and in the East is a small farm, which has several cattle, dozens of sheep, some poultry and several quatermas.

The weather today is not very good. Instead of trying to ride a horse, Yang Jing wandered to the auxiliary building.

Two of the four auxiliary buildings are connected with the main building, and the other two are about 30 meters away from the main building, with an ambulatory connected with the main building in the middle.

The auxiliary building Yang Jing came to is the one located in the north of the main building. According to steward Shelton, this auxiliary building was used by Alfred to study some technologies, which can be roughly equivalent to a private laboratory.

Alfred, one of the three brothers of DuPont ZTE, is not only a great family leader, but also an excellent scientist. Alfred is a bit like his great grandfather Irene DuPont. After Pierre DuPont was expelled to the American continent by Napoleon, he developed with Irene DuPont's gunpowder making technology.

As Irene DuPont's great grandson, Alfred inherited his great grandfather's character and scientific research talent. When he was in charge of the DuPont family, he developed many high-end technologies for the DuPont family at that time.

Steward Shelton said that when he was a child, he often saw Alfred doing experiments in the auxiliary building and heard some strange "strange noises" from time to time. When he was a child, steward Shelton was very curious about the auxiliary building, but steward Shelton's father old Shelton didn't let him go to the auxiliary building at all.

It was not until he was big that Shelton knew what the auxiliary building was for.

Now, the auxiliary building has been rarely used. No one lives there except servants to clean every day.

Yang Jing walked into the auxiliary building along the corridor. The auxiliary building is not high, only two and a half floors high, but the floor area is not small. The auxiliary building is hollow. The rooms filled with experimental equipment in those years can no longer see those experimental equipment, leaving only an empty house.

There are several rooms on the second floor and some furniture, but Yang Jing is not interested in these furniture. As for the attic on the top floor, it was empty and had nothing.

After a turn upstairs, Yang Jing came to the basement of the auxiliary building.

Compared with the emptiness above, the basement with the same large area is undoubtedly much crowded. The moisture-proof and ventilation of the basement are well done. At least Yang Jing doesn't feel any damp and cold here. Perhaps it is also for this reason that many things that have not been used for many years have been piled up in this basement.

Yang Jing flipped through these things and found that most of them were from the 1950s and 1960s. Of course, there were also things from the 1930s and 1940s.

This reminds Yang Jing of the kind of work he did with fat people when he studied abroad to clean up the garbage for the rich.

The things in this basement may be garbage for the DuPont family, but if they are put in 30 years, they will be enough to make those garbage disposers happy to see the back teeth.

For example, although this set of National Geographic magazines from 1890 to 1842 lacks the magazines of 1888 and 1889, there are many National Geographic magazines for 52 years.

If this magazine is put in 30 years, let alone the flea market, it is qualified to shoot directly, and it can definitely shoot at a high price.

In addition, there are some books, periodicals and magazines published in the early 20th century, which are equally valuable if they are put in 30 years later.

There are many miscellaneous things in the basement. Some are obviously put in by servants later, but some are obviously put into the basement by the owner of the manor.

For example, in a southwest corner of the basement, there are some damaged experimental equipment, tables, chairs and sundries. Although these things are very old, they are arranged in order. Obviously, these things should be some things damaged by Alfred's laboratory, and then he commanded the servants to carry them down.

Among these things, Yang Jing also found some good things. For example, the two test benches, the writing desk and several chairs were made of good teak.

Teak is the high-grade wood for making high-grade furniture. Although it is not as valuable as sea yellow and red sandalwood, it definitely belongs to precious wood. In the past, many royal families in Europe used teak to make furniture.

These pieces of teak furniture look very shabby. In fact, there is nothing at all. Shabby is just a superficial appearance. A little tidying up can bring a new color. In particular, these pieces of furniture were used by Alfred, which is even more unusual.

But Yang Jing didn't know why the DuPont family left these things here.

Now, with the purchase of the manor, these things belong to themselves.

This kind of thing that buys a house and picks up leaks is Yang Jing's favorite thing. Although there is a lot of difference in value between those ancient magazines and books or these teak furniture and those real antiques, it is the most exciting process to find valuable things from the garbage that the former owner doesn't want.

Especially when Yang Jing found a piggy bank in the drawer of his desk and found two glittering gold coins from the piggy bank, Yang Jing's excitement almost reached the highest. Tide
