According to Miss Mia's introduction, she asked around at the French Wine Association.
No one wants to sell their wine estate.
After all, wineries not only bring us huge economic benefits every year, but also bring us identity recognition.
However, two families have softened their stance.
But when they heard that the buyer was a foreigner, and a foreigner from an Eastern country, they immediately shook their heads and refused.
Hearing this, Chen Fan smiled bitterly and shook his head.
I was just about to say forget it if it works.
Unexpectedly, Mia changed the subject.
"Chen. Although I don't have good news, Sophie has good news."
"She heard you were interested in wine and red wine culture, so she asked the Italian Wine Association for help."
"You know what, this time she actually found a seller who meets your requirements."
Chen Fan's face lit up with joy.
"Is the other party willing to sell?"
"The other party is an American. He bought this winery about eight years ago. Americans are very realistic. They buy wineries to do red wine business."
"We have a strong sense of cultural identity, just like the locals, so as long as the price is right, they will naturally be willing to sell."
Chen Fan understood a little.
"But Sophie said they need to meet with the buyer in person to discuss this matter, so I'm afraid you'll have to come here in person."
Chen Fan nodded.
"No problem. I'll find a time and go over right away."
Mia smiled and joked, "Don't worry, I haven't finished speaking yet."
"I told Sophie about your idea last time, and Sophie helped you find two local people who were willing to sell their properties."
"As long as the price is right, you can own a house by the sea in Sicily."
Chen Fan looked happy.
"Good. Great."
"Thank Miss Sophie for me."
"Hehe, Sophie really helped you this time. You really should thank her."
Chen Fan smiled and said, "No problem. I'll personally thank Miss Sophie the next time we meet."
After hanging up the phone, Chen Fan stood up excitedly and rubbed his hands.
Everything went better than I expected.
It seems that the manor and the house by the sea that I wanted are about to come true.
I must tell my wife Su Ruochu first.
When the time comes, take her there and give her a romantic surprise on the spot.
It definitely made the little girl's eyes sparkle.
Chen Fan picked up the calendar on the table and flipped through it, checking his recent schedule.
This matter cannot be delayed, the sooner it is decided the better, otherwise Chen Fan is worried that something unexpected will happen.
…
In mid-April, taking advantage of the fact that the group had nothing to do this month, Chen Fan boarded a flight to Europe.
Before leaving, Chen Fan called Mia specifically.
Mia told Chen Fan on the phone that someone from Sophie's side would pick her up after the plane landed.
Everything will be arranged here, and Chen Fan will be in charge.
This time, he only brought Zhang Shun as his driver.
He didn't notify anyone, but just told Su Ruochu that he needed to go on a long business trip.
After nearly 12 hours of flight, the plane finally landed smoothly in Milan, Italy at noon the next day.
As soon as he came out of the airport passage, Chen Fan spotted the tall foreigner holding a huge Chinese sign in the crowd.
The other party was wearing a suit, had a long beard, and held a huge sign above his head.
There are two 꺶 characters written on it in Chinese.
"Chen Fan."
Chen Fan and Zhang Shun exchanged glances, and both walked over with a smile.
Chen Fan pointed at the sign.
The other party looked at Chen Fan curiously and asked in slightly broken Chinese.
"Chen Fan?"
"Mr. Chen Fan from Ruofan Group?"
Chen Fan smiled.
"You can speak Chinese? That's great. It saves us a lot of trouble."
Seeing Chen Fan nod and confirm his identity, the foreigner immediately extended his hand excitedly.
"Hello, Mr. Chen, my daughter asked me to pick her up at the airport."
"Let's go out first. The car is waiting outside."
"good."
This man was very enthusiastic and took the initiative to pull the suitcase in Zhang Shun's hand, but was rejected by Zhang Shun.
The foreigner was not angry. He smiled and shrugged, then led the two out of the airport.
After getting in the car, the other party turned his head and smiled at Chen Fan behind him while driving.
"The lady has already arranged a hotel for you to stay in. Mr. Chen, please go to the hotel first and rest for a while before we discuss anything else."
"Ms. Mia..."
"Oh, the lady is currently in Italy or Denmark."
"The young lady said that she will come over in the afternoon and will personally welcome Mr. Chen in the evening."
Chen Fan was happy.
"You know what a welcoming party is? The Chinese is wrong."
The foreigner was a little proud.
"I studied in China for four years. Your country's delicious food is truly nostalgic."
"Oh, right. My Chinese name is Lu You. Mr. Chen, you can call me Lao Lu."
"Lu You?"
Chen Fan was stunned for a moment.
Lu You smiled proudly and said: "I like ancient Chinese poetry, especially the poems of the great poet Lu You."
After saying that, he recited a passage to Chen Fan on the spot.
"After death, I know that all things are empty, yet I am sad to see the whole country united. When the king's army conquers the Central Plains in the north, don't forget to tell your father during the family sacrifice."
“My favorite poem is…”
Chen Fan was in tears and laughter. This little foreigner knew so little.
We chatted all the way and finally arrived at a hotel in Milan.
With Lu You's help, I arranged a hotel stay.
Sophie had someone book the presidential suite. The room was very luxurious, and you could overlook the entire city from the floor-to-ceiling windows.
Lu You smiled and said goodbye.
"Mr. Chen, you should take a rest first. I'll take my leave now."
"Wait until the young lady comes back and we'll meet again in the evening."
"By the way, if you're bored, you can go wander around. The scenery here in Milan is quite nice."
"If you like football, we have a match coming up soon. I can get you some tickets..."
Chen Fan thanked the other party and then walked him to the door.
After Lu You left, Chen Fan smiled, shook his head, and turned back to his room.
In the room, Zhang Shun was carefully checking the entire room.
Chen Fan took a look, walked to the balcony, looked at the city scenery outside the window, took out his cell phone and called Mia.
Tell the other party that you have successfully landed in Milan.
Mia on the other end of the phone explained with some regret that she had originally planned to come and meet Chen Fan.
Unfortunately, her family had a very important gathering recently, and she had to attend as a core member.
Mia hoped that Chen Fan could stay in Yili for a few more days, and she would be able to come over when the time came.
Chen Fan smiled and exchanged a few pleasantries with the other party. After hanging up the phone, he looked at the scenery upstairs and lit a cigarette.
Hope everything will go well this time.
…
At half past six in the afternoon, someone knocked on the door.
Zhang Shun walked over to open the door and found that the person standing outside was Lu You, whom he had met in the afternoon.
"Mr. Chen, how was your rest?"
Chen Fan smiled and shook hands with the other party.
"That's not wrong."
"My young lady has arrived. She wants to invite Mr. Chen to dinner."
Chen Fan smiled.
"It's my great honor."
"Please follow me, both of you."
