Chapter 954: Refusal to Cooperate

Zhao Baliang and they were just getting ready, and Elena and her assistant Daniel also arrived at the hotel where they were staying. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

After a brief greeting, Elena invited Zhao Baliang and others to set off together to visit Château Lafite.

Château Lafite is located on a gravel hill in the northern part of the village of Boillac, in the Bordeaux-Poillac district of France. When Zhao Baliang and others came to Château Lafite by car, they saw many people waiting for them.

"Mr. Zhao, welcome to visit our Château Lafite. A middle-aged man stepped forward, shook hands with Zhao Baliang and said, "I'm Eric, the owner of Lafite??" Rothschild ......"

Eric?? Rothschild was talking, and the translator next to him was also hurriedly translating.

Hearing Eric's surname, Zhao was stunned and asked, "Are you from the Rothschilds?"

Smiling and nodding, Eric Rothschild said, "That's right, just yesterday, the head of the family called me and asked me to entertain Mr. Zhao well." ”

Hearing the conversation between Zhao Baliang and Eric, Zhou Ting and all the employees of the distillery were shocked. Because from these two short sentences, they could hear that Zhao Baliang had a good relationship with the Rothschild family.

Although I don't know what kind of family this Rothschild family is, at least they own the largest winery in the world! This is enough to show that this is not a small family!

"Mr. Zhao, for the most part, my name is Elena Rothschild. After the introduction between Zhao Baliang and Eric was completed, Elena also generously stretched out her hand and said to Zhao Baliang.

"Miss Elena, you're really hidden. Zhao Baliang smiled slightly, and then stretched out his hand. However, Zhao Baliang didn't dare to shake hands with Elena for too long, after all, before going out, Zhou Ting clearly expressed her jealousy.

"The glory of the family will always belong to the family, and I want to create my own glory. Elena smiled and said, "The children of our Rothschild family may be different from the rich second generation of other families in this world!"

After chatting a few words and introducing each other, Eric personally took Zhao Baliang and others to visit Château Lafite. They travel in a special tour bus, and Elena acts as a docent for the tour, explaining the history and development of Château Lafite to everyone present!

"My dear, this Château Lafite is too big...... this is the most intuitive thought in the minds of all the employees of the winery after visiting Château Lafite.

After a car tour outside, Eric took the group to the wine cellar, where all the famous vintages of Château Lafite are stored, and they are all priceless!

"It's '82 Lafite, the best wine in the last 50 years, and the stock is running out......," says Eric, pointing to the wine stored not far away. In addition, there are many fine red wines from older years, which are almost impossible to find on the market, and which can only be found in Château Lafite.

The wine cellar of Château Lafite is not so much a wine cellar as a small wine exhibition hall, where many of the vintages of red wines are only known by their names and not seen by their wines!

"This is 82 years old Lafite, I heard that now there are more than 50,000 bottles. A young man from the winery couldn't help but whisper to his companions.

And these words also heard Zhao Baliang's ears, the price of a bottle of red wine is 50,000, which is much higher than the price of green water wine!

Eric also heard the young man's comments, and after listening to the translator's words, Eric said: "Actually, Lafite in 1982 was not the best. Years before that, such as 1945, were also very good. However, due to the long period of time and the limited production volume, it is not available on the market at all. That's why many people say that Lafite 1982 is the best red wine!"

After Eric's introduction, he asked Zhao Baliang to choose a red wine as the dinner wine for a while.

Zhao Baliang didn't know much about red wine, all red wine was a taste in his mouth. Therefore, if the red wine is too good, Zhao Baliang will not go to the scourge, and drink one bottle less than one bottle. The number of red wines in 1982 is relatively large, so Zhao Baliang chose a bottle of Lafite in 1982.

Although it is not the best red wine, it is also a very good quality 82-year-old Lafite, and the young people in the winery are even more excited and red-faced, and they can't wait to taste the 82-year-old Lafite.

After visiting the wine cellar, Eric took everyone to see the vineyards of Château Lafite. The harvest of grapes directly determines the quality of the red wine of that year. Therefore, the vineyard is very important for the winery.

After a round of visiting, it was almost time for lunch, and Eric warmly entertained Zhao Baliang. After all, yesterday he received a call from the head of the Rothschild family, asking him to take care of Zhao Baliang.

Although I don't know why the head of the family said this, the Rothschilds have been able to stand for so many years because they have handled all aspects of the relationship. No matter which side it is, if it can not be offended, it must not be offended! In this way, the road of the family can become wider and wider.

At the dinner table, Eric inquired about Zhao Baliang's relationship with the Rothschild family from the side. Although he knew about this and shouldn't have asked, Eric couldn't help but ask after a few glasses of wine.

Eric asked, everyone at the wine table couldn't help but prick up their ears, everyone was curious, what is the relationship between Zhao Baliang and the Rothschild family.

Seeing that everyone was curious, Zhao Baliang smiled and said: "Actually, it's nothing, when I was in Australia, I had a little conflict with Kade, and later, with the mediation of Nile, the misunderstanding has been resolved." ”

Zhao Baliang said it lightly, but Eric was shocked in his heart. Nile was one of the most trusted stewards of the household. If Zhao Baliang didn't have a little strength, it would definitely not be Nile's turn to mediate in person! And from Zhao Baliang's words, it can basically be judged that in Australia, the Rothschilds suffered a little loss!

The Rothschild family can suffer without exception, it is not a powerful family, could it be that this Zhao Baliang is a member of a certain big family in China? Thinking of this, Eric did not dare to snub Zhao Baliang.

The Rothschild family has always had good relations with all the big families in the world, and it is okay to even suffer some losses once in a while; after all, only by properly handling the relationship with these big families can the Rothschild family have a wider and wider road! This is also one of the Rothschilds' organizational training.

After eating, Eric invited Zhao Baliang to sit in the study. Elena, on the other hand, took the others and took a casual look at the winery.

Zhao Baliang knew that Eric must have something to say to him, so Zhao Baliang smiled and nodded, and then followed Eric to the study.

In the study, there was no one else except one of Eric's translators. Zhao Baliang and Eric sat facing each other, neither of them speaking.

In the end, it was Eric who broke the calm, "Mr. Zhao, congratulations, your green water wine has achieved very good results at this fair." ”

"Mr. Eric, your Lafite wine is good, too. Zhao Baliang said with a smile.

With a wry smile, Eric said, "Mr. Zhao, I want to talk to you about cooperation." ”

"Okay, as long as you don't talk about acquisitions, you can talk about other things. Looking at Eric, Zhao Ba said jokingly.

Eric smiled bitterly, even if he lent him a hundred guts now, he didn't dare to talk to Zhao Baliang about the acquisition. Looking at Zhao Baliang, Eric said: "Mr. Zhao, you know, our Lafite winery is to make and sell wine. We have an extremely large sales channel around the world......"

Listening to Eric's words, Zhao Baliang didn't say anything, just smiled and nodded, and listened patiently to Eric's narration.

"I dare say that there is no other winery in the world that has a strong sales channel as our Château Lafite. Looking at Zhao Baliang, Eric said, "So, we plan to cooperate with Mr. Zhao." ”

"I don't know how Mr. Eric, plan to cooperate?" looked at Eric, Zhao Baliang asked.

"We want to be the exclusive distributor of the global sales of Lvao Shui Wine, so we will open up a special sales area for Lvao Shui Wine in our Lafite boutique store. Eric directly threw out a condition that Zhao Baliang could not refuse.

The placement of Château de l'Eau de l'Eau in Château Lafite's boutiques around the world is in itself an indirect recognition of Château d'Étucie. Moreover, Eric also said that he would open up a special sales area for Green Water Wine, so that the sales and reputation of Green Water Wine would not be a problem. Even the advertising cost is saved!

Eric suddenly offered such a generous condition, Zhao Baliang believed that Eric must have the following, so Zhao Baliang continued to wait for Eric's next conditions.

"Of course, we also have a small condition, we want to take a stake in Mr. Zhao's winery......" Looking at Zhao Baliang, Eric said with some embarrassment.

Eric's proposal to be the exclusive agent of Green Water Wine's global sales is indeed an excellent opportunity for Green Water Wine to expand the global market, but Eric wants to take a stake, which Zhao Baliang can't accept. Zhao Baliang still hopes that the winery is 100% in his own hands, which is better!

Seeing Zhao Baliang's hesitation, Eric immediately said: "Mr. Zhao, after all, in all Lafite stores around the world, open up a sales area for Green Water Wine, if we Lafite Winery does not hold shares in Green Water Winery, it will not be approved at the shareholders' meeting, so please Mr. Zhao think about it carefully......"

"Mr. Eric, to be honest, I am very interested in your proposal, but...... If this is a thing, I can't accept it. Looking at Eric, Zhao Baliang directly rejected Eric's request for shares, and said: "However, I still hope to be able to cooperate with Château Lafite! ”

Zhao Baliang said this, and Eric couldn't say anything more, just looked at Zhao Baliang and said, "I hope that in the future, we will have more places to cooperate!"

"Then I wish us a happy cooperation in the future. Zhao Baliang stood up, stretched out his hand, and said to Eric!
