Accustomed to living in a big house, the castle covering an area of ​​only more than 200 square meters is not very small in Han Chudong's eyes. Its advantage is that the garden is more exquisite and the surrounding environment is also very livable, making it more suitable for vacation.

In June in France, the old grape vines have already borne fruit, and the winery has a new owner. The farmers go to work in the fields as usual, pruning the excess grapes to avoid wasting nutrients.

The grapes used for winemaking will not mature until August or September, but people usually wait until the grapes shrink and have a lot of sugar left before picking them.

Han Chudong took some time to taste the new wine brewed last year. Being surrounded by the ancient oak barrels and smelling the rich wine aroma in the air of the wine cellar, the feeling of drinking the wine was indeed very different.

He took a lot of time out of his spare time to revise his previously written autobiography. It would be more accurate to say that he added and subtracted some things rather than revised them. It was like he had completely changed the content and just wrote about things that happened to him, his own experiences and feelings. Therefore, he wrote at a relatively fast pace. Los Angeles has already helped him contact publishers, and one publishing house is willing to advance him $2 million in royalties.

After all, it is Han Chudong's first autobiography, and considering people's attention to him, the publishing house thinks it is worth a gamble.

From this perspective, the saying that it is easier to succeed after success does make sense. Han Chudong only writes casually, but his level of remuneration has surpassed that of a group of Nobel Prize winners in literature. While he feels that something is wrong, he begins to discover that his own fame can also bring a lot of profits, including causing topics when new products are launched and attracting more attention.

Talking about new products.

Just when Han Chudong came to Cheval Blanc Winery for vacation and stopped by Romanee-Conti Winery to meet another shareholder, Procter & Gamble released a new facial mask and quickly launched it to the market, priced at only nine to fifteen dollars.

Estee Lauder uses similar patented technology to launch similar products. The starting price of a box is US$18, and the most expensive one sells for just over US$29. It is positioned slightly higher and also offers lemon, hyaluronic acid, collagen and other types.

The wolf is coming.

Their launch was not the most important thing. The most important thing was that it opened a door for other skin care companies to follow suit and develop similar gel products by bypassing Rainbow Beauty's mask paper patent.

The product was originally just a box of paste. After consumers applied it on their face, it took about fifteen minutes to set, and then it could be torn off the face in one piece.

It is similar to the hard facial masks of previous years, except that the plaster is replaced with a special gel material. Mason Laboratory has completed the sampling and analysis work, and it is estimated that it will not take long to develop similar products.

When doing business, it is normal to encounter competition. It’s just that Han Chudong was making money comfortably by using the patent of the appearance of facial mask paper to monopolize the market some time ago. So when his own profit was likely to decline, he was a little unhappy.

Looking at the bright side, the only way to comfort myself is that the market size is large enough and it should not have too much impact on my company's performance. Fortunately, since the advent of facial mask paper, a certain consumer group has been cultivated. With the launch of gel masks, there will definitely be an impact, but it will not cause any serious damage to the Rainbow Mask, whose product line is constantly enriched.

There was no way around it, so Han Chudong stayed in the winery and didn't go back for the time being.

The idea of ​​acquiring Chateau Margaux was blocked by Chateau Mouton Rothschild, so Han Chudong set his sights on beer and whiskey. While contacting the famous whiskey manufacturer Macallan, he was also trying to buy excellent beer brewing recipes. It is likely that he will go further and further on the road of selling wine, because this thing has very high profits.

The patent for facial mask paper lost its dominant position, and Han Chudong was no longer anxious after worrying about it for a few hours.

Not to mention the developing IC and IT industries, the huge market on the other side of the Pacific Ocean that has not yet been opened is enough for Han Chudong to make so much money in the future that he will treat it as waste paper.

If you calculate the time, it will only be a few years before the environment becomes relaxed. With money in hand and ready-made investment projects, there are simply too many opportunities to make money to count.

So I didn't care at all and continued to enjoy life quietly. While writing my autobiography, I also took time to learn from the old farmers and go to the fields to take care of a small grape field. I thought that I could make wine and bring it to my friends personally.

Even in France, I still keep in touch with the company.

In the near future, he plans to set up and fund several public welfare institutions, saying that they are doing charity, but it is mainly for dealing with Washington, spending money to smooth out some relationships, and establishing several independent institutions to influence academia and think tanks, and starting to recruit employees from the infamous "K Street".

The reason for doing this is mainly that Han Chudong hopes to enhance his own strength. Instead of being treated as fat meat in the bowl by others, which can be taken or bitten whenever they want, it is better to infiltrate them early and form his own power.

From the current perspective, he still seems like an outsider. He thought that those big shots and organizations would value him, but in reality, few people take the initiative to communicate with him. This is a rather dangerous signal.

As a super-rich man, he was deliberately forgotten by the center of power. This made him feel that he should be more proactive and go to Washington more often when he had nothing to do.

…

I am revising my autobiography this morning.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

Kiko Mochizuki, who had been accompanying him to relax, told him, "GUCCI will hold a new model launch the day after tomorrow. The location will be in the 2nd arrondissement of Paris. I may need to rush over to help arrange the venue and receive reporters. Will you come with me?"

"Me? I can take you to Paris, and then go directly back to the United States. I've been away for more than ten days. Arthur urged me to go back three days ago. There are many business issues waiting for me to deal with. Just show me the on-site video when the time comes."

After Han Chudong finished speaking, Mochizuki Kiko said with a sly smile, "YSL will release its winter and autumn fashion collections. There will be all these beautiful top female models backstage. Are you really not going to come with me?"

"You said you'd follow me, so why should I go?"

It was rare for Kyoko Mochizuki to joke with Han Chudong, but she didn't expect that she would be bullied by Han Chudong in the end. It was difficult for her to laugh again.

She didn't really care too much. Han Chudong's private life had been reported in the newspapers a long time ago, and she had heard some things about it, but out of an ostrich mentality, she never wanted to mention it. At least when they were together, she preferred the atmosphere between them.

I feel that the current situation is good enough. I admit that I cannot fully grasp the power of this richest man who is younger than me, but I am already very content.
