"Indeed, I am waiting for an opportunity. I have heard some rumors that international capital, such as the Quantum Fund, may target Latin American countries!"
"Oh? Then this is our opportunity too."
Avalid smiled gently.
He is also a skilled investor.
Upon hearing what Chen Dong said, he immediately realized what was going on.
He originally wanted to cooperate with Chen Dong and accomplish something.
Now that Chen Dong has brought it up, it's clear that he wants to reach a certain cooperation agreement with him.
“Yes, I know you’re an expert in the financial world. This time you’re going out to do something, let’s go together!” Avalid said earnestly.
"No problem. Since we're friends, let's work together to make money."
Chen Dong knew that Avalid was a powerful force. If he approved of the business, the amount of money he would invest would be substantial, at least tens or hundreds of billions of dollars, comparable to what Chen Dong was about to invest.
This is actually a good thing for Chen Dong.
This would at least enhance his strength, allowing him to be more composed when facing international speculators like Soros.
After all, he was competing for profits by following in the footsteps of these international speculators.
He relied solely on his foresight and profound financial knowledge.
In terms of economic strength alone, they are far behind these international speculators.
Soros and others, as veteran international speculators, can typically mobilize funds in the tens of billions of dollars.
Chen Dong and Avalid finalized a collaboration in just a few words.
They anticipate huge profits if it succeeds.
After finishing their business, both of them relaxed and began to truly immerse themselves in the tour.
I must say, the scenery at the manor is absolutely stunning!
At this moment, he could smell the fresh scent of the farmland and see bunches of still-green grapes peeking out from among the leaves, gleaming with an alluring light. Chen Dong couldn't help but think of jade.
These grapes are actually green jade, a treasure of life.
Suddenly, Chen Dong shook his head: What was he thinking? When did he become such a profound philosopher, with so many thoughts running through his mind?
He turned his gaze back to the people in front of him.
Vivian Chow and Annie, one quiet and the other lively, complement each other perfectly.
Anne wandered among the various buildings, admiring them and taking photos incessantly, appearing incredibly carefree.
Zhou Huimin, on the other hand, simply observed quietly, occasionally glancing at Chen Dong, sometimes smiling, sometimes lost in thought.
Avalid gave Chen Dong a thumbs up, "Chen, you're amazing! You managed to make these two beauties your lovers!"
Chen Dong smiled, a look of happiness on his face. He thought to himself: I'm not a dreg of medicine!
“Hehe, don’t talk about me. You’re better than me,” Chen Dong said to Avalid.
“Sigh, how can I compare to you? I do have many women, but they give me a certain feeling. They aren’t that close to me, or rather, they don’t really understand me.” As he spoke, a look of melancholy appeared on Avalid’s face.
"Really? Actually, I think you might be overthinking it. The main problem is that if there are too many women, it's impossible to take care of them all. Also, in this life, the only one who can truly understand you is yourself. But to be honest, most people can't even understand themselves, let alone expect others to understand them," Chen Dong said.
Avalid also fell into the same philosophical contemplation as Chen Dong:
"Haha, Chen, I think you're starting to sound like a philosopher now! But what you said makes sense. Life is an illusion, and we can only try to find or create something meaningful within that illusion."
Just as Chen Dong was about to reply, he heard Annie call his name.
"Alright, you two, stop like that. Come on over and let's look at the scenery and take some pictures," Annie called out to Chen Dong and Avalid.
Thus, their deep concentration was broken, and they immersed themselves in the present moment of relaxation.
When Chen Dong and his group returned to the winery's reception room, Ma Guoliang had already reached an agreement with Alphonse.
The final price was 92 million euros.
Of course, this is just an intention; more detailed negotiations will be conducted by professional teams hired by both parties.
Because the vineyards to be sold, along with their attached buildings, machinery, and wines, all require professional evaluation, it's impossible for them to make that decision directly now.
Acquiring a winery is a highly specialized and complex process, unlike that of a typical acquisition company.
In addition to the usual information gathering, on-site inspections, and due diligence investigations by lawyers, it is also necessary to have experts in different fields conduct the assessment.
for example:
Geological experts are needed to assess the quality of the vineyard, its technical facilities, and the value of the land.
Winemakers and wine merchants are needed to assess the price and quality of the wine, and to inventory and evaluate the value of the cellar.
There should be laboratory testing personnel to conduct statutory inspections of substances that pose health and property risks, such as asbestos and ants.
In other aspects, professional assessments should be conducted on individuals involved in grape cultivation and winemaking.
Although Château Lafite Rothschild is renowned and classified as a second growth, Chen Dong still needs to have relevant tests conducted by professionals to avoid any potential disputes later on.
This is no small sum; if you convert euros to RMB, it's several hundred million.
When Chen Dong saw Alphonse again, he noticed that the gloomy aura around him had dissipated considerably, and he seemed much more relaxed.
