Before buying this manor, Yang Jing already knew that because there was a vineyard in the manor, the manor had its own small winery and a wine cellar. However, Yang Jing did not expect that in addition to the winery and wine cellar that specialized in making and storing wine for the vineyard, there was also a wine cellar that stored many precious and famous wines.
This also made Yang Jing suddenly realize that he seemed to have forgotten another problem, that is, he could completely acquire one of the eight major wineries in France at this time.
In fact, strictly speaking, in 1988, there were only five national treasure wineries in France, and the eight great wineries of later generations had not yet been assembled at that time. Lafite, Latour, Margaux, Mouton, and Haut-Brion were the top five national treasure wineries in France, while Chateau d'Auxerrois, Cheval Blanc, and Petrus could not be compared with the five wineries at that time.
However, even if it is just one of the five national treasure-level wineries, it would be a great thing to buy one of them for collection.
The value of the five major wineries at that time was not high, only 50 to 60 million US dollars. Moreover, due to the stock market crash, the capital behind these five major wineries was in a state of chaos. Some of them were even seeking to sell their winery shares to cash out.
Although the current five major wineries also have investment value, they are far less valuable than in later generations. Therefore, in the late 1980s, the owners of these five major wineries were replaced almost one after another.
Since other people have bought these five wineries, why can't I buy one myself?
In later generations, being the owner of one of the five major wineries is a very prestigious and prestigious thing. Countless European and American tycoons want shares in these five major wineries, but there are only a few top wineries in the world. How can those who own wineries sell them?
In the future, no matter how rich you are, you can’t buy the five major wineries unless you spend money recklessly.
Yang Jing thought about these things in the wine cellar and didn't feel like staying here any longer. He hurriedly walked out of the wine cellar, picked up the phone and called Tom Nitz's pager.
Although mobile phones had already appeared in the United States in 1988, not many people had them. The high telephone charges were the main factor restricting the rapid expansion of the first generation of cellular phones. Even in the United States today, only a few wealthy people or important government officials can own mobile phones. For a real estate agent like Tom Nitz, who was a pure loser a few days ago, it was great to have a pager.
Tom Nitz returned the call quickly.
"BOSS, I'm at the Boston airport preparing to fly to Europe. What can I do for you?" There was a lot of background noise on the phone, and Yang Jing could tell that Tomitz should be in a crowded place.
"Donald, when you get to Europe, find out about the five largest wineries in France. If possible, you can buy any of them directly. Well, the authorization price I give you is within 80 million US dollars."
"Eighty million US dollars? Oh my god, boss, isn't this price too high? The most valuable of the five major wineries, Lafite, is only worth about 60 to 70 million US dollars now..."
Yang Jing interrupted the guy and said, "Donald, just do as I say. Remember, as long as you can buy a winery as soon as possible, you will have made a contribution."
"Okay, Boss, I promise to complete the mission."
After hanging up the phone, Yang Jing felt more at ease. Although Tom Nitz is not very prominent now, his ability is definitely beyond doubt, otherwise he would not have achieved such a high level of success in the future. With his ability and his own funds, he should be able to buy a winery.
The idea of buying the winery somewhat disturbed Yang Jing's careful tour of the estate, but after all, he had become the new owner of the estate, so after thinking for a while, he continued to tour the estate.
In fact, a manor is just like that. It covers a large area. It does not have walls like a castle, nor does it have high defensive capabilities like European castles.
But this is a manor covering an area of more than one square kilometer after all. Walking here makes Yang Jing feel like he is touring in a park.
There is a farm to the north of the main building of the manor, the vineyard is to the south of the main building, the Niagara River is to the west, and there is a small farm to the east, which raises several cows, dozens of sheep, some poultry, and several quarter horses.
The weather was not very good today, so Yang Jing did not try to ride a horse, but instead wandered to the annex building.
Two of the four auxiliary buildings are connected to the main building, and the other two are about thirty meters away from the main building, with corridors connecting them to the main building.
The annex building that Yang Jing came to was the one located to the north of the main building. According to Butler Seldon, this annex building was previously used by Alfred to research some technologies, which was roughly equivalent to a private laboratory.
Alfred, one of the three brothers who revived the DuPont family, was not only a great family leader, but he was also an outstanding scientist. In this respect, Alfred was a bit like his great-grandfather Irene DuPont. You should know that when Pierre DuPont was expelled to the American continent by Napoleon, he relied on Irene DuPont's gunpowder making technology to develop.
As the great-grandson of Irene du Pont, Alfred inherited his great-grandfather's character and scientific research talent. During his time as the head of the DuPont family, he developed many technologies for the DuPont family that were very advanced at the time.
