Chapter 215: Harvest Beauty

As he said that, Tang Zhengqing speeded up and soon disappeared into the grape clusters all over the sky.

"Sister Lan, look at you. I finally met a person from China. You drove him away. I didn't even have anyone to talk to." Xu Mingze said dissatisfiedly with a pout.

"Miss, if you feel bored, I can apply to the unit and arrange four assistants for you. There will definitely be something to say at that time." Sister Lan said coldly.

"Forget it, I'm going to be cold to death with both of you. If you two come, I will definitely be frozen to death." Xu Mingze didn't like his personal assistant and bodyguard at all, but this was the arrangement at home, and she couldn't resist and could only accept it.

Seeing Tang Zhengqing disappear for a long time, Xu Mingze picked up the camera, began to fiddle with it, and then got into another row of grape clusters.

"Xiaomei, hurry up and check it out. What is the name of the man I met just now?" Sister Lan ordered to her partner through her headset.

"Yes!" Sister Lan put down her headset and followed Xu Mingze immediately.

When Tang Zhengqing came back from the grape cluster and returned to the cafe, it was not an hour before.

"Tang, what did you do just now? I've been waiting for you for a long time. Let's go and see the grape harvest scene. I promise you have never seen it." Jubert waited for Tang Zhengqing and grabbed him and was about to go around.

When watching the grape harvest, let alone Tang Zhengqing, even Jubert had never seen it. What's more, Maple Leaf Winery is 10,000 acres, let alone this area.

"Yes, cousin, I'm anxious." Li Zhenghai also hummed anxiously. He had already said in the group that he wanted to broadcast live, but there was no live broadcast yet.

"Let's go." Under the leadership of a staff member, several people rode on a convertible four-wheeled electric vehicle along the asphalt road.

Li Zhenghai sat in the last position, holding his cell phone and looking around, and broadcasting live, "Friends, it's been a long time since we've seen each other, be anxious. Now the place where I'm in is Napa Valley, California, America. This winery belongs to my cousin. If I don't say it, you don't know how big this winery is." Wherever the camera goes, there are all full of ripe fruits, and many people in front of the video were drooling.

"You see a lot of these grapes, but these grapes are basically inedible because they are wine-making grapes. According to my understanding, the most vines here are Cabernet Sauvignon and Pinot Noir. You may not know much about these two types of vines. Next, I will explain them to you." In fact, this was also what Li Zhenghai arrived on Baidu not long ago.

"Cabernet is the largest wine-making grape in the world, mainly used to make dry red. Many wineries in France use Cabernet Sauvignon, including Lafite, Latour, Margot, etc. Another type of Pinot Noir wine-making grape. Its planting area is not very large, mainly because its yield is not high, but its quality is very good. The most famous one for making Pinot Noir in the world is Romani Conte, which is the so-called red wine emperor. It is said that each bottle costs tens of thousands of yuan, and I have never seen it before." Li Zhenghai first explained the winery's grain-growing wine-making grapes to everyone so that everyone can understand the difference.

"It's a pity that this is America, Napa Valley, not France, so my cousin's winery is not very famous. However, I can guarantee that the quality of the red wine here is very good, at least much better than that of the domestic ones. But don't worry, I will never bring goods to you, and I will not tell you what kind of winery it is. I will save you from scolding me and saying that I am a bad anchor." Li Zhenghai said and made a face. Not to bring goods. This is Li Zhenghai's bottom line. No matter what, if you bring goods to others, it will completely change its flavor, even if it is the winery of his cousin's house.

"Liu Liuliu, this is the anchor I like. If you don't bring goods, you'll have good examples. Rockets will take ten."

"Although I don't have much money, I can only support a rocket. I hope the sea can take us through the world and appreciate the delicious food and scenery in the world. If there are beauties, it would be even better."

"On the upper floor, what other beauty do you want to see? Do you want Dahai to watch the live broadcast? You might as well go to September 1st to watch it."

"Sixth, the one upstairs seems to be an old driver. Is there anything good to recommend? Can you recommend it for me?"

Soon the barrage turned tilted, and Li Zhenghai was so angry that he almost threw his phone away.

"There are many wineries in the world. France has the most wineries, and the second place is America. The absolute part of the American wineries are in the Napa Valley. In fact, you may not understand the third place. It is Australia. There are more than 1,200 wineries in Australia, more than 1,600 wineries in America, and more than 1,800 France. As for the fourth place, New Zealand has more than 400 wineries there. Italy, Spain, and Germany are not as good as New Zealand. As for my country, there are about 240 wineries. Of course, these are all registered. There are many wineries without names, so forget it."

Tang Zhengqing sat in front and could hear Li Zhenghai's live broadcast, but he didn't say a word, just followed Zhubert and chatted, asking him about his opinion on the wine industry.

"Tang, I have to tell you that your country is too big, with too many people, and there are many rich people. Many people have a petty bourgeois mood. In the words of you Chinese, it is art-like. They can't afford Rafiratu, but they don't look down on domestic red wine. So this is also the prevalence of red wine in Australia, America, even Argentina, New Zealand, and South Africa. Because they are cheap, it's OK to use English letters on the main bottles. As for whether it is English letters or Latin letters, I believe that few people in your country will care about this."

Zhubert's words made Tang Zhengqing blush, but he knew that this was true. Zhubert's words were true. This domestic atmosphere was indeed true, but Tang Zhengqing had no choice. Even if he was a god, he could not change the hearts of the 1.4 billion people, unless he ended up directly and became the ruler of China, but that was impossible, and Tang Zhengqing didn't want to do that.

"Jubert, you're right, but this is something that happened in the past thirty years. I believe that in another thirty years, the picture will be different by then." Tang Zhengqing thought that instead of making the money by the white-cutters, it would be better to make it by himself and make it by himself.

It doesn’t matter how much money it costs, but this matter still needs to be done. However, Tang Zhengqing was thinking about whom to hand over these things to him? Domestic agricultural companies will hand over to my cousin, but who will hand over the sales matter to him?

Soon, the group of people came to the place where the grapes were harvested in a car. From a distance, groups of people were working, packing boxes of grapes on the car, and finally the car was pulled to the winery room.

"Friends, have you seen it? These are the grapes that have been harvested. I have to say that the scene of this harvest is really spectacular. At this moment, I really want to write a poem to praise the spectacular scene of this harvest."

Li Zhenghai cleared his throat, "Ah, the grapes are harvested, and I'll be sent to the winery room. The people work hard and the harvest is full of the warehouse." Before Li Zhenghai finished speaking, he was smashed by Tang Zhengqing to pick a bunch of grapes. "Stop talking, don't read books, see what you are talking about!" Tang Zhengqing's voice came, and it also came to the opposite side of the video. Countless people watching the live broadcast laughed.

"If this is a poem, I am at least Li Bai."

"Then am I Du Fu, or am I the most powerful poet."

"Then I am Bai Juyi, I like Bai Juyi."

"My grade is the worst, so I can barely be Hongli."

In fact, Li Zhenghai also knew what he wrote, but he also knew that it didn't matter. It was mainly to create an atmosphere. If he had such literary talent, he wouldn't be able to broadcast live at all.

Not long after, Old George walked over, "Hello, Mr. Tang, Mr. Zhubert." Old George said hello to Tang Zhengqing.

"Mr. George, you are fine. Now, after harvesting these grapes, will you send them to the winemaking room to make them directly?" Tang Zhengqing didn't know what the winemaking process was like.

"Mr. Tang, it's not. After picking these grapes, they have to be cut off and sorted, put them in one piece with good quality, and put them in one piece with bad quality, and then clean them. Only after they are cleaned can they enter the winemaking process."

"Oh, so that's it. I really don't know very well. Mr. George, how many bottles of red wine can be brewed every year?" Tang Zhengqing continued to ask.

"Mr. Tang, the winemaking process takes about one month every year, which is mainly because the winery throws away all the bad winemaking grapes. According to conventional data, one acre of land can plant fifty vines, and one vine can make two standard bottles of 750 milliliters. That is to say, one acre of land can make one hundred bottles, and ten thousand acres will make six thousand acres of land, which is six million bottles of dry red." Old George introduced to Tang Zhengqing.

"Six million bottles? Are there so many?" Tang Zhengqing never thought that there was such a large amount of data.

"Mr. Tang, it's almost the same. As long as the year is good, it's basically about six million bottles, unless it's bad weather, too drought or waterlogged."

All wine-making grapes are for food according to the weather. Pesticides are not allowed to be used, and other artificial work is not allowed. Every year, it is for the weather.

In fact, Tang Zhengqing knew that there was no need for the winery to achieve this level, but he knew that quality is life, so he supported George to abandon all the poorly grown wine grapes, and only divided the wine grapes into three levels, ABC three levels, and the red wines of his own winery will also be sold at this level in the future.

Of course, Tang Zhengqing will also make an S-level, which is actually adding some spiritual liquid to the A-level red wine to change the taste and nutrition, and everything else will be the same.

Of course, Tang Zhengqing will also transform and optimize the vines of this winery, otherwise I would be sorry to come here for myself.

Tang Zhengqing calculated that this way, the less than 10,000 acres of Cabernet Sauvignon made about 4.5 million bottles. Of course, there is another project that Tang Zhengqing paid special attention to, which is to imitate the red wine brewed by Romani Conte. Originally, Pinot Noir was planted here to imitate Romani Conte. Now Tang Zhengqing also hopes that the modified Pinot Noir can catch up with Romani Conte.

However, the yield of any one is much smaller. A tree cannot even make a bottle, and acre can only make three hundred bottles, which means half of Cabernet Sauvignon. The two thousand acres have produced more than 500,000 or less than 600,000.

"Five million! Five million bottles! This is all money!" Even if it is one hundred dollars per bottle, it is still five hundred million dollars. This is not a small number, and Tang Zhengqing would not sell it at a low price. Even the lowest-level C-level cognac is impossible, and the top-level A-level red wine will be at least one thousand dollars per bottle.

Tang Zhengqing didn't know it. He was shocked when he calculated that if this winery with ten thousand acres of land could earn 500 million yuan a year according to his own ideas, it would be a US dollar. This is not a small number.

"Mr. George, can the red wine here be sold for 6 million bottles per year?" This is what Tang Zhengqing wants to know.

"Mr. Tang, we have relationships with many sales companies in the United States. The remaining one or two million can be sold every year, mainly for supermarkets or hotels, and they also need some red wine."

"Mr. Tang, if we can open up the Chinese market, I think these six million bottles should be sold easily. Although the red wines in our Maple Leaf Winery are not as good as those in Yingxiao and Luyue Winery, the quality is also considered to be in the upper and middle reaches of Napa Valley."

"Mr. George, I'm responsible for this matter, so you don't need to ask about it. You're mainly responsible for the operation of the winery for me."

Old George didn't say anything. Besides, opening up the Chinese market was just a casual word he said, it doesn't matter whether it can be done or not. Anyway, America can almost be sold every year.

"Mr. Tang, do you want to see the winemaking process?" Old George asked the group.

"Okay, go and have a look!" Tang Zhengqing had no objection to this, but Li Zhenghai was very happy.

He thought it was like the ones described in the novel. A group of girls in white veil stepped on barefoot again. When Li Zhenghai came to the winery room, he was stunned. He really didn't expect that this winery room was like a domestic factory, with a huge factory, all of which were fully automatic machines, and there were no barefoot girls in white veil.

Just put the grapes in, sort, clean, crush, juice, precipitate and fill in one stop.

"Mr. Tang, the special flavor of red wine mainly comes from oak barrels. There are not many oak barrels on our side, and most of them are made of stainless steel wine barrels."
