Next, several people in the office had a brief chat about their understanding of the winery.
After the chat, everyone dispersed.
Next, each company will select outstanding employees as the first batch of travel welfare employees this year. Of course, these matters will be temporarily handed over to the administrative department.
Speaking of traveling, Chen Fan actually thought of another place.
He had seen a photo in a travel magazine. It was a photo of the white town of Ostuni in Italy.
There are rows of white houses along the blue sea, which is very dreamy and beautiful.
He had always wanted to take Su Ruochu there to experience it while he was still alive.
If I buy a house in this place in advance as a fixed asset, I can take Su Ruochu there for vacation every year to relax. Just thinking about it makes me feel comfortable.
Of course, in addition to this place, Chen Fan thought of another place.
The small town of Cefalù on the Italian island of Sicily is also a beautiful town near the sea. It is also the filming location of the classic work "Cinema del Duomo" by the great director Giuseppe Tornatore.
Chen Fan turned on the computer, entered the locations, and then carefully learned about the scenery of the two places on the Internet.
The more I look at it, the more delighted I feel.
Even he was a little impatient, so it was conceivable that when he brought Su Ruochu over, this girl would be so excited that she would scream.
Chen Fan is a typical man of action. Once he has made up his mind, he must act immediately.
He picked up the landline on the desk and originally wanted to call 굜点 and ask him to find someone to find out whether the properties in these two places were for sale.
But when dialing, Chen Fan suddenly stopped again.
Because a more suitable candidate suddenly popped up in his mind.
Mia.
The lady from the Rothschild family, the hostess of Chateau Lafite.
The two had met briefly in the United States before and kept in touch with each other.
Chen Fan remembered that time when they met in the bar, Mia was accompanied by a female friend.
The other person's name seemed to be Sophie Margaret. Mia introduced that she was the hostess of Maya Manor, and most importantly, this Sophie was Italian.
Perhaps it would be more appropriate to consult her.
So Chen Fan put down the landline, took out his cell phone, found Mia's cell phone number, and dialed it.
The phone rang a few times before it was finally connected. Soon, a lazy yet elegant girl's voice came from the other end.
"Who is it? It's very ungentlemanly to disturb someone's sweet dream so early in the morning."
Chen Fan was startled and quickly checked the time.
It's a little after 12 o'clock in the afternoon, so it should be around 8 or 9 in the morning in France, right?
The other party should be up at this time.
Chen Fan quickly coughed lightly.
"Hello Miss Mia, I'm Chen Fan."
"I wonder if you still remember me."
Hearing Chen Fan's voice, the girl opposite was obviously stunned for a moment, then screamed and jumped up from the bed.
"Oh, Charming Chen, of course I remember you. We formed a deep friendship back in America."
Chen Fan breathed a sigh of relief.
I still know you well.
Mia greeted him with a smile: "Chen, you are so mean. You haven't called me in such a long time."
Chen Fan smiled bitterly, "I'm really too busy with work, and I'm also worried that making a casual call would affect Miss Mia's life."
"You are being too polite."
The two exchanged a few pleasantries with a smile, and Mia asked Chen Fan if there was anything he wanted to talk to her about.
Chen Fan was not polite and directly told Mia that he wanted to buy a manor.
"You want to buy a winery?"
Mia was a little surprised.
"I remember your group doesn't seem to be involved in this industry?"
Chen Fan smiled and said, "It seems so. Miss Mia, you have a very good memory."
“This is not a commercial consideration for the group, but my personal idea. I want to buy a winery myself.”
Mia smiled and said, "That's not difficult. I'm a member of the French Wine Association. If you really have this idea, I can ask for you."
"Thank you very much."
"Chen, what kind of winery do you want?"
"But let me be clear. For a winery owner, a winery is more than just a profitable business. It represents honor, status, and heritage."
“Over the years, the winery has been completely integrated into French culture.”
“Also, most winery owners are not short of money, so they probably have no intention of selling.”
Chen Fan smiled and said, "I understand."
"My requirements are not high. I don't need to be particularly famous, and the area I occupy doesn't need to be particularly small."
"The estate should be beautiful, preferably with an ancient castle and a good environment. As for whether the winery is famous, I don't really care about that."
Mia smiled and said, "If that's the case, then it's a little easier."
Chen Fan thought of something, "Oh, right, if you really can't find it in France, you can ask around at wineries in other European countries. It doesn't necessarily have to be in France."
"I see."
"Give me a moment, I'll ask around."
"Okay, thank you."
Chen Fan suddenly thought of something else.
"By the way, Miss Mia, I have one more thing."
"Are you familiar with the towns of Cefalù and Ostuni in Sicily, Italy?"
"Well, I want to buy a property in these two places, so that I can go there to rest for a while every year when I have time."
Mia smiled.
"Of course I know these two places. I even traveled there last year."
"But it's no use asking me about this. You should ask Sophie. She's Italian and knows this place best."
"I'll call Sophie and ask her to keep an eye out."
"But I still have to remind you that, apart from the houses in these two places that have been acquired by others, the rest are basically in the town residents' own homes, and they generally don't sell them to outsiders."
Chen Fan was curious: "Why?"
Mia smiled and said, "These two towns face countless tourists from all over the world every year. The residents of these towns can make money just by running B&Bs."
"Faced with such a sure-win business, do you think they would just sell it?"
Chen Fan smiled.
"That's true."
But Mia continued, "Of course, nothing is absolute. If you pay enough, there will still be people who are tempted."
"I'll ask Sophie to help you inquire about this matter."
"And I'll tell you a secret. Sophie has her own property in Sicily."
"By the way, Sophie had a great impression of you since we last met."
"We met a while ago, and when we were chatting, they even talked about you."
Chen Fan didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
What does this have to do with anything?
