Chapter 541: The crowd is lively
At night, on the big bed in the presidential suite, a workout ended.
Scarlett was lying on it, sweating all over and panting, not wanting to move a finger.
In the past few days, she had several fights with Gu Wei every night, but unfortunately, she was either defeated and begged for mercy, or fell asleep due to exhaustion.
As it turned out, she and Gu Wei were not on the same level at all, and the gap was bigger than she thought.
However, Scarlett keeps fighting despite repeated failures, never gives up, and enjoys it.
"I'm leaving tomorrow"
After a long time, Scarlett recovered some strength and leaned over Gu Wei's side, her small hands stroking back and forth on his chest and abdominal muscles.
"So urgent?" All the work in Paris was finished today. Gu Wei had to stay in France for two days due to other things. He didn't expect Scarlett to leave so soon.
"There are two brand events in Hollywood. We already scheduled them before coming here, so I can't postpone them."
Scarlett was also a little melancholy. If possible, she really wanted to stay with Gu Wei for some more time.
Although the two of them had only been together for a short time, he had truly brought her happiness that she had never imagined before.
Gu Wei stroked Scarlett's delicate and smooth back back and forth with his palms, without saying anything.
The two of them had the opportunity to come into contact because of work, and it was only a matter of time before they separated after work ended, and he was prepared for it.
But then again, Black Widow is worthy of being the sexy goddess of Hollywood, and she has indeed brought him an extraordinary experience in these days.
Now that they have to separate, Gu Wei feels a little reluctant.
"Don't you have anything you want to tell me?"
Scarlett raised her head and looked at Gu Wei with a smile.
“What do you want me to say?
Wish you good luck in your work and have a safe journey? "
"Aren't you going to try to keep me?"
"Then beautiful Scarlett, are you willing to stay?" Gu Wei reached out and gently lifted Scarlett's chin, raised his eyebrows and asked.
"Of course not!"
Scarlett giggled mischievously.
Gu Wei had an expression that said, "As expected." He then reached out and picked up Scarlett, who was lying on his chest, and then turned over and pressed her under him.
The two played on the big bed for a while, accompanied by giggles. Scarlett's newly recovered strength was quickly exhausted, and she had to beg for mercy.
“Will you come to the United States in the second half of the year?
"Avengers 4: Endgame" will start filming next month and will be wrapped around November. I will have plenty of time until the release of "Infinity War" in April next year." Scarlett panted, and the meaning of her words was very clear.
"According to my current work schedule, I probably won't go there," Gu Wei said truthfully.
He has already arranged a movie and a TV series in the second half of the year, and several related film and television dramas will be released. In addition to various company matters, it is difficult for him to have the opportunity to go to the United States.
Hearing what Gu Wei said, Scarlett frowned, feeling a little unhappy.
It’s not that I have developed a deep relationship with Gu Wei after spending the past few days together. It’s just like when an ordinary person has eaten a delicious meal that they have never experienced before, they will naturally think about when they can eat it again.
"It's a shame that Elizabeth treats you as a good friend and mentions you from time to time. After not seeing each other for such a long time, why don't you take the initiative to go see her?"
Gu Wei looked at Scarlett helplessly: "Why are you mentioning Elizabeth again? What does this have to do with her?"
"In short, you are ruthless." Scarlett didn't care about that. She didn't want to talk about herself, so of course she brought up Olsen.
"Whatever you say is what it is." Gu Wei did not refute. It was impossible to reason with a woman.
“[Infinity War] will be released early next year, and the crew will go to China to promote it.
If you don't come to Hollywood, I'll go to your place and you'll have to treat me well."
"No problem. Just tell me in advance when you're coming over and I'll arrange the time so you can feel at home." Gu Wei replied nonchalantly.
"I'll go with Elizabeth then, is that okay?" Scarlett said meaningfully.
"What does it matter? We are all good friends, and it will be more lively when there are more people." Gu Wei blinked and raised the corners of his mouth slightly, looking at Scarlett.
"Ouch."
"You're dreaming. What do you think of us?" Scarlett pinched the soft flesh on Gu Wei's side, pretending to be angry.
"What are you thinking about? I just said that I will treat you well when you come over and show my hospitality." Gu Wei looked innocent.
"Haha~ You know what you are thinking," Scarlett said disdainfully.
"Hehehe" Gu Wei smiled and said nothing.
"However, what you think is not impossible." As the saying goes, a woman's heart is as unpredictable as the sea. Scarlett was about to get angry, but then she changed the subject and smiled.
"I don't really mind, but I can't say whether Elizabeth is willing or not." Scarlett, who is 33 years old and divorced, doesn't care too much about this.
She is not a girl in her 20s who naively yearns for love.
Now she values more all the good things that she can get and experience in reality.
In her opinion, being with Gu Wei is a very enjoyable thing, and if possible, she would not mind maintaining this kind of relationship with Gu Wei for a long time.
It’s even possible to experience some new ways of playing.
Scarlett had also read some news online in the past few days. She knew that some rumors about her and Gu Wei had spread, and she also knew how the Hollywood media reported it.
There are many media and netizens who say that she is an old cow eating young grass. Although Scarlett is a little angry, she doesn’t think there is anything wrong. Not only did she eat this young grass, she also wanted to eat it for a long time.
"Scarlett, you think too much." Gu Wei certainly couldn't admit that he had such thoughts.
"Haha~ You just keep talking tough." Scarlett was very disdainful of Gu Wei's hypocritical behavior.
"I will bring Natasha's costume with me when I go to China for promotions."
"Ahem. Actually, there's no need." Gu Wei's eyes lit up.
"Is this what is called politeness in Chinese culture? You clearly want to say it but you refuse twice?" Scarlett slid onto Gu Wei like a beautiful snake, facing him face to face.
"You know a lot? You even know what politeness is?" Gu Wei was a little surprised.
“I have studied some Chinese culture on purpose.
Of course, now I understand Chinese men better."
Scarlett leaned over and kissed him again.
It was a crazy night. Scarlett was particularly obsessed with him before they parted, until she was completely exhausted and fell into a deep sleep.
The next morning, Scarlett got up with difficulty and dragged her tired body to say goodbye to Gu Wei. Although she was very tired, her mental state was exceptionally good.
For Gu Wei, this trip to Paris was also a rare experience.
After all, she is Black Widow, the sexy goddess in the hearts of men all over the world.
Apart from anything else, the character filter is definitely maxed out, and having a romantic encounter with "Natasha" is probably the deepest wish of every man who has watched "Avengers".
"How's it going?" After finishing his official business, Gu Wei also had to start taking care of some of his own personal matters, otherwise he would have been like Scarlett and left after finishing the LV shoot.
“We contacted the best real estate agency in the Bordeaux area and they recommended several alternative options.
The specific information is all here." Yang Dan handed over a thin white paper.
Gu Wei took it and flipped through it. It contained introductions to some wineries.
From the year of construction, the owner, the heritage history, to the location, building area, the types of grapes planted and the grade of the wine produced, everything is included.
There are also corresponding pictures above, castles, vineyards, wine cellars, etc.
This time when he came to France, Gu Wei planned to buy a private wine estate with a European-style castle.
This was an idea he had two years ago.
In recent years, there have been many cases of domestic wealthy people purchasing private wine estates around the world.
For example, Zhao Wei bought the Château de Montfort in the Saint-Émilion region on the right bank of Bordeaux. The winery covers an area of 7 hectares and the main grape variety planted is Merlot. The purchase price was more than 4 million euros.
Ma Yun even spent tens of millions of euros to buy a series of wineries in Bordeaux, including Château Pechene, Château Grégoire, and Château de Salles.
There is also basketball superstar Yao Ming, but his winery is in Napa Valley in the United States, and he has also established a dedicated wine company.
Celebrities buy wineries not for enjoyment, but mainly for profit.
After buying a winery abroad, he used his fame to sell it in China, promoting his wine as authentic high-end French Bordeaux wine. The wine, which originally sold for a few euros a bottle in France, immediately became worth thousands of RMB when he returned to China, and he used his fame to make a profit.
In fact, although Bordeaux wine is good, the quality of wine produced by different wineries varies greatly due to differences in grape varieties, planting locations, and brewing techniques.
The top wineries like Château Lafite, Château Margaux, Château Mouton Rothschild, Château Latour and others will not be traded, and even if they are traded, they will not be sold to the Chinese.
Domestic wealthy people usually buy small wineries that are poorly managed or have low-quality wines.
Although the wines produced by these wineries can be guaranteed to be authentic, their taste cannot be compared with that of top wineries. They are normally sold locally at one or two euros per bottle.
However, Gu Wei did not want to buy the wine estate to make money. If he wanted to make money, there were many ways to do it, not just through wine.
He did it purely for his own enjoyment.
Buy your own estate in Bordeaux, France, with an ancient castle and vineyards, and live here for a while when you are free, just as if it were a vacation to relax.
Gu Wei is usually busy with work, so he may only be here for a short time, but his parents can come and stay if they have nothing to do.
Living in an ancient castle, taking a walk in your own estate during the day and tasting the fine wine in the wine cellar is definitely a pleasant experience.
Besides drinking your own wine, you can also give it to your friends and company employees, which is a wonderful thing.
"Both Mermaid Castle and Unico Castle look good." Gu Wei flipped through the white paper in his hand and pointed at the pictures of two wineries.
"I've already communicated with the winery. Boss, we can set off today for an on-site visit." Yang Dan had already made all the follow-up arrangements.
Paris to Bordeaux is about 500 kilometers away, which takes at least 5 hours by car, 3 hours by high-speed rail, and more than 1 hour by plane.
It was not yet noon when Gu Wei and his group arrived in Bordeaux.
Accompanied by the agency staff, he visited two wineries that he had seen in the information.
In the end, Gu Wei set his sights on the more expensive Unicomburg.
“Château Unic is located in the Médoc region on the left bank of Bordeaux, France, and the history of the estate can be traced back to the early 16th century.
The estate's vineyard covers an area of approximately 20 hectares, with a grape planting ratio of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 32% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Franc and 3% Petit Verdot, of which 25% of the vines are over 40 years old.
As early as 1895, Château Unicron was rated as a third-class winery in the Medoc."
Walking in Unico Manor, the staff of the agency introduced it to Gu Wei as they walked.
“In addition to the vineyard, the estate also has a Cheverny-style castle complete with marble fireplaces, turrets, wooden floors, etc.
There is also a tennis court and a swimming pool outside the castle.
Mr. Gu, the price you paid for Unico Manor is absolutely worth it."
“It looks nice, but the castle is too old. If I want to live in it, I’ll have to spend a lot of money on repairs and renovations.
And I heard that although Chateau Unique is a third-class winery in the Medoc, it has been making losses for the past two years."
Gu Wei has already visited the castle in the manor. It is built in the Cheverny style, with three floors above ground and two floors underground, with a total of 26 rooms of various sizes.
Apart from looking a little old, there is nothing wrong with the exterior. It has an ancient charm and is in the style of a medieval castle.
It's very shabby inside. Just like Gu Wei said, if you want to move in, you need to spend some time and effort to repair and renovate it.
However, Gu Wei didn't care about this. From the castle to the vineyard, to the manor wine cellar, he was very satisfied. But he was not a sucker. Even if he liked it, he still had to negotiate the price.
And in France, castles are really not worth much.
According to statistics, there are more than 45,000 castles of all sizes in France!
Every year, hundreds of castles are listed as "for sale."
In recent years, the number of castles for sale has exploded, with 1,500 castles for sale in 2016 alone.
The price of castles has also been falling, having dropped by about 30% in the past decade or so.
As far as Gu Wei knows, the average price of a French castle is less than 800,000 euros, and you can usually buy a castle that is "in good condition and magnificent" for about 500,000 euros.
The reason French castles are so cheap is simple: the annual maintenance costs are too expensive.
Basically, a castle covering an area of 1,000 square meters will cost 1.5 million to 2 million euros per year for maintenance alone.
Many descendants who inherited the castle could no longer afford the high maintenance costs, so they had no choice but to sell the castle left by their ancestors, which was also a way to get rid of a burden.
Of course, the bulk of the value of the Unico Estate that Gu Wei wants to buy lies in the vineyard, especially the brewing process of the estate, which is rated as a third-level winery in Medoc, which is very difficult.
In France, the highest level of winery is first-class. Internationally renowned red wine brands such as Château Lafite, Château Latour and Château Cheval Blanc are all first-class wineries.
Next are the second and third-tier wineries, which are red wine brands with certain characteristics in brewing technology.
Most of the wineries bought by domestic celebrities like Zhao Wei are small wineries that cannot be rated. Only the Grégoire Winery bought by Ma Yun is a third-level winery in Médoc, just like Château Unoc.
The reason why Unico Winery has been making losses over the years is not because the wine is bad, but because it is not well-known.
Competition in today's wine market is very fierce. Even good wine needs to be hidden in a remote alley. Although Unico Estate has first-class brewing technology, it is just a small estate with no money and energy for marketing. Naturally, sales have become increasingly sluggish, and now it is losing money to the point that it has to be sold.
When the intermediary staff heard what Gu Wei said, they knew that he was not a Chinese tycoon who knew nothing, and smiled awkwardly.
Gu Wei didn't care and continued strolling in the estate in front of the Unico Winery Castle.
In addition to the 20 hectares of vineyards, Unico Winery also has an estate covering an area of about 5 hectares. In addition to the swimming pool and tennis court mentioned by the staff, there is also a beautiful fountain and lawns and woods around it. The scenery is very beautiful.
'My parents will definitely like the scenery here.'
