C183 I'll Keep All of Them for Myself
This new owner who had just arrived less than a day ago had sold all the new wine in the winery for the next ten years just like a joke. He was simply a business genius!
He had just arrived and solved all the problems in the winery. It really made him admire him so much that he prostrated himself on the ground.
However, Berna could not understand that he had just casually told him about the '82 Lafite.' He had never mentioned anything else. He had used this to solve all the problems in the winery.
Could it be that he could predict the future, or that he had the ability to predict the future, so that he could predict all the problems in the winery ahead of time?
In fact, Berna did not know that Lin Fei did not know how to predict the future, nor did he have any special ability to predict the future.
He just used the internet to gain some understanding of this winery that he was about to take over.
It turned out that although the Lafite winery seemed to be prosperous now, the number of Lafite in the winery in 1982 was getting lesser and lesser.
And these wealthy red wine merchants from all over the world loved to promote this kind of wine. They usually didn't care about the wine in the winery in other years.
Because the profit of this kind of wine was too high, they usually only needed a few bottles or even a dozen bottles to sell it at a sky-high price. From there, they would be able to make a lot of money.
For the wealthy red wine merchants, this kind of thing that did not require much effort to promote and could still earn a lot was naturally a good thing. But for Lafite winery, this was not a good thing.
Because even though Lafite in 1982 was very good, it could only be drunk less and less, and there would be a day when it would be sold out.
Nowadays, the winery relied on a few bottles of Lefay in 1982 to maintain its reputation. However, the large amount of new wine produced every year could not be sold at all.
This resulted in an abnormal development. Now, there was still Lefay from 1982 in the winery. If that day came, there would be no more Lefay. The whole winery would be finished.
At that time, not to mention hundreds of years of foundation, even if it was thousands of years old, it would still be destroyed. It would not help at all.
Because time did not mean anything. Businessmen only cared about benefits, not history, and not feelings.
This was what Lin Fei understood on the Internet about all the problems that the entire winery was facing.
The casual reminder from Butler Berna had helped him verify what was happening on the Internet.
That was why he had made such a gamble. He had directly resolved all the troubles in the winery.
"Boss Lin, this bet of yours sold your winery's wine for the next ten years. Shouldn't you tell us the correct answer?"
The rich merchant of Dubai said with a laugh.
"Old housekeeper, it's time for you to tell them history lessons!"
Lin Fei heard this and smiled. He turned around and said to Butler Berna.
Butler Berna's smile was incomparably brilliant as he nodded at Lin Yun.
Although he still didn't know why these guys didn't know about this simple question, he was very happy to tell them about the history of '82 Lafite.'
Because that was once the glory of Lafite winery, the history that the winery was most proud of, and also the thing that the old butler Berna was most proud of.
"Cough cough!"
Berna cleared his throat, then opened his mouth to all the wealthy merchants.
"In 1982, more than 30 years ago, the summer weather was hot and dry. It was a perfect and unrealistic summer."
"Not only did the production of grapes in Lafite winery increase greatly, but the dry and hot weather is especially conducive to the brewing of wine."
"So in this perfect summer, the bartender brewed wine that had a groundbreaking meaning, with a rich and sweet taste."
"In addition, since 1959, the wine brewed in the Western European countries all tasted bitter, and the wine in Lafite winery just so happens to form a sharp contrast with the wine in Lafite winery"
"And with good wine, naturally we have to sell it. At the beginning of the 1980s, Lafite winery encountered the most severe economic crisis, so selling it became a difficult problem."
"But at that time, as the owner of Lafite winery, Robert. Parker was a very bold and far-sighted person. With his extraordinary courage and courage, he won 100 points in the World Wine Evaluation. In one fell swoop, Lefay became a world-renowned fine wine! "
"All of this created Lefay's stunning reputation in 1982. This is the origin of Lefay's luxury in 1982!"
After saying that, Bernadette's face was full of pride.
"Oh, so that's how it is!"
Hearing this, the crowd suddenly realized that this was the reason why Lefay was so expensive in 1982.
They had always known that Lefay in 1982 was expensive in Lafite winery, but they didn't know that there was such a historical story behind it.
After Berna finished his story, he happily carried over a hundred contracts and went to prepare the new wine in the winery for the rich businessmen from all over the world.
Now he was no longer worried that the new wine would not be sold this year and that he would not have to worry about the next ten years.
After ten years, Lafite from Lafite winery would no longer need to hold up the front line. These new wine, which were more well-made, would have already made the Lafite winery one of the world's top wineries.
Seeing the butler happily preparing the red wine for everyone, Lin Fei also smiled.
In fact, even he himself could not fully answer this question, but with the old butler Berna here, he was not afraid anymore.
Because Berna was the living history of a winery. There was nothing that he did not know about the past of this winery.
Furthermore, Lin Fei was the one who made the bet. These wealthy merchants did not know. Even if they answered correctly, Lin Fei could deny their answer.
Because in Lin Fei's eyes, there was no correct answer to this question. He just wanted to use this bet to win the bet and achieve his purpose of buying wine.
The banquet came to an end in a cheerful atmosphere.
The wealthy businessmen left with the new wine that they had ordered. However, the 82 Lafite in Lafite winery had not been used up.
"Boss Lin, we are friends now. Remember to look for me when you come to Paris. I will treat you well when the time comes!"
At the entrance of the winery, Fernando sincerely invited Lin Fei.
"Haha, of course!"
"If nothing unexpected happens, I might go to Paris in a few days. I will definitely pay a visit!"
Lin Fei laughed.
The two of them gave each other a warm hug. Only then did Fernando waved goodbye to the others, turned around, and got into the car and left.
"Master, high!"
Seeing that all the guests had been sent away and the winery had gained a lot today, the old butler, Berner, gave Lin Fei a thumbs up once again.
"Haha, you flatter me, butler sir!"
Lin Fei chuckled and said.
"Mr Lin Fei, look at how beautiful you are!"
"However, this master of yours, this scheme of yours really makes this little girl have no choice but to submit!"
Xi Mengwei saw that Lin Fei was smiling very beautifully at this moment and immediately smiled.
"En, Xiao Fei is indeed very powerful!"
"Sometimes, I wonder if you are still the same university classmate I knew, Xiao Fei!"
Lee Fei'er also chimed in at this time.
"Go, go," ___ said.
"Fei'er, you are thinking too much. Look at me carefully. These eyes, this nose, this handsome face. Isn't that the fake me from back then?"
Lin Fei said cockily.
"Cheh!"
But as soon as his voice faded, the three women snorted disdainfully at him at the same time.
At this time, Liu Qing, who usually did not like to joke, could not help saying, "sir, I have seen narcissists, but I have never seen someone as narcissistic as you!"
"Hahahaha!"
As soon as Liu Qing finished speaking, the three women instantly burst into laughter.
"By the way, Butler sir, I haven't had the chance to ask you in detail today. How much more do we have in our wine cellar?"
After finishing his joke with the three beautiful women, Lin Fei looked at the old butler, Berna, and asked.
"Yes, Master. Anyway, there is no urgent matter now. Why don't I take you to the wine cellar of the winery to have a look?"
Berna said with a smile.
"Wine cellar, good!"
Hearing Berna's words, Lin Fei instantly became interested.
Xi Mengwei, who had some knowledge of red wine, was even more so. She was so happy that she jumped and jumped. She was totally an immature little girl!
It had to be said that the scenery in Lafite winery was really beautiful.
Since coming to the winery in the morning, Lin Fei had been busy dealing with the proper business of the winery. He had not really appreciated the unique scenery in the winery.
Compared to the unique landscape of the east, the style of this medieval manor was completely different.
Although compared to the exquisite and exquisite gardens in the east, the scenery of the entire manor was... It lacked some elegance and liveliness, but after carefully savoring it... The interior of the manor revealed a calm and heavy feeling that gave people a sense of heaviness that had existed for a long time.
The atmosphere was full of extravagance, making one's taste more and more interesting. The more one's taste was, the more shock and feelings one would feel.
Under the lead of the old butler, Bernard, the few of them strolled leisurely and quickly arrived in front of an ancient castle.
Bernard said that the wine cellar was under this unique looking castle.
This was a cellar specially built to store red wine. It had a history of about three hundred years.
Lin Fei took a closer look. Although the outer walls of the castle were tightly wrapped by green vines and plants, he could still see that it was filled with the vicissitudes of time.
It was obvious that Berna's words were not false. This ancient castle was probably at least 300 years old.
Berna quickly opened the gate of the castle with the key. He led the group along a flight of stairs and entered the cellar below the castle.
In an instant, huge barrels of wine appeared in front of everyone.
In the cellar, the fragrance of the wine was so strong that it could not be melted. If one smelled it, they would immediately be intoxicated and unable to extricate themselves.
Lin Fei was completely stunned by this scene, not to mention Xi Mengwei who had some knowledge of wine.
After Berner's introduction, Lin Fei and the others found out that these wooden barrels were not ordinary wooden barrels. Instead, they were all equipped with a specific thermostatic controller, allowing the wine stored in the cellar to be kept in a specific temperature environment.
These barrels were usually called ice barrels.
"Butler sir, how many 1982 portions of Lefay are left in the winery?"
Lin Fei looked at the old butler and asked again.
"Well, that's all. There should only be about 100 barrels left."
Butler Berna pointed to an area and said to Lin Fei with some heartache.
For this kind of good wine that could be called diamond in wine, every drop that was missing now felt like his heart was bleeding.
"En, indeed not much!"
Lin Fei nodded and said again, "From now on, a drop of Lafite in the winery will not be sold to the public."
Butler Berna also had the same idea. Lin Fei's words had really touched his heart.
But before he could be happy, Lin Fei said again, "Because I want to keep all of it for myself to drink."
Butler Berna looked at Lin Fei and was instantly speechless.
