Li Muchen nodded slightly, expressing his understanding. He said, "I completely understand your feelings. Chateau Lafite's history and cultural heritage are a treasure of the global wine industry, which is one of the reasons why I want to acquire it. I want to spread its charm further and enable it to develop better in the modern business environment."
The family representatives of Chateau Lafite looked at each other, and the older gentleman continued, "Mr. Li, could you tell me more about your plans for Chateau Lafite?"
Li Muchen cleared his throat and began to elaborate on his plan. "If I'm fortunate enough to acquire Chateau Lafite, first and foremost, I will respect the winery's original brewing techniques and cultural traditions and will not make any changes that would damage its reputation. I will invest more funds in maintaining and expanding the vineyards to improve the quality of the grapes. At the same time, in terms of marketing, I will leverage my global business network to allow Chateau Lafite's wines to enter more emerging markets, especially those with huge potential in Asia and Africa. Furthermore, I plan to establish a wine culture museum within the winery to showcase the history of Chateau Lafite and the entire winemaking process, so that more people can understand and appreciate Lafite wine."
As the family representatives of Chateau Lafite listened to Li Muchen's plan, their expressions gradually became serious.
They began to discuss quietly. Li Muchen sat there, watching them calmly, but he felt a little nervous. He thought, "This is a rare opportunity. If I can convince them, Chateau Lafite will become my property. I must show them my sincerity and the feasibility of my plan."
After some discussion, the older gentleman looked at Li Muchen and said, "Mr. Li, your plan sounds very attractive. However, we need more time to consider it. After all, this is a major decision related to the inheritance of our family."
Although Li Muchen was a little disappointed, he still kept smiling and said, "Of course, this is a very important decision. I understand that you need time to consider it. I hope you can carefully consider my proposal. I believe that our cooperation will be a win-win situation."
After the Lafite family representatives left, Li Muchen said to Xiao Wang, "Keep a close eye on their movements and report to me at any time. Meanwhile, continue to refine our acquisition plan and improve our competitiveness."
"Okay, boss." Xiao Wang replied.
As time went by, Xiao Wang continued to bring Li Muchen news about other competitors.
"Boss, a large European wine merchant is in frequent contact with the Lafite family. They have put forward some very competitive acquisition conditions." Xiao Wang said with some concern.
Li Muchen frowned, a hint of worry in his eyes, but it quickly gave way to determination. He said, "We can't just sit there and wait for death. Send the Lafite family a detailed proposal, emphasizing our advantages. At the same time, raise our purchase price a bit more. I don't believe we can't acquire this winery."
Xiao Wang followed Li Muchen's instructions. After a while, the family representative of Chateau Lafite contacted Li Muchen again, expressing his desire to meet again.
Li Muchen was delighted, knowing this was a good opportunity. During the second meeting, Li Muchen once again emphasized his love and respect for Chateau Lafite, as well as his more complete and attractive acquisition plan.
After careful consideration, the family representatives of Chateau Lafite finally said to Li Muchen: "Mr. Li, after careful consideration by our family, we have decided to accept your acquisition proposal."
Li Muchen was overjoyed upon hearing the news, but he managed to remain calm. He stood up, smiled, and said, "Thank you very much for your trust. I will definitely make Château Lafite flourish in my hands."
In this way, Li Muchen successfully acquired Lafite for $8.5 billion. He began to carry out a series of reforms and developments in accordance with his own plans.
He personally visited the winery and looked at the lush vineyards with his eyes full of anticipation.
He told the winery staff: “We must carefully craft each bottle of wine and elevate the reputation of Chateau Lafite to a higher level.”
Under Li Muchen's management, Chateau Lafite not only maintains its leading position in the traditional market, but also gradually opens up the situation in emerging markets.
Li Muchen's huge sales channels have enabled Lafite to sell more red wine, and the price has also begun to gradually rise.
