Rebirth of the Strongest Tycoon

Xia Yu helped the Rothschild family to keep the ownership of the name of Edmond Rothschild Bank, in order to regain a full-class banking license.

The Rothschild family sold the shares of Royal Bank of Scotland and Standard Chartered Bank held by Barclays to Xia Yu at a premium of 25%.

As for BP's equity, Xia Yu did not get it.

Xia Yu prevented the Roshir family from repenting, and the Roshir family was also worried that Xia Yu would lie to them.

However, because Xia Yu took the initiative, he proposed to first acquire the equity of Royal Bank of Scotland and Standard Chartered Bank.

But he is also willing to sign a secret agreement. The agreement stipulates that there is a one-month security period for the purchase of the shares of the two banks. If Xia Yu does not succeed, then the cooperation fails, and the shares of the two banks need to be returned to Barclays Bank, and Xia Yu Certain penalties are also required.

After the negotiation, the atmosphere of the chat became a lot more harmonious, at least on the surface.

Just when Xia Yu was about to leave, he saw that David Rosier just took out a red wine from the closet, and said to Xia Yu with a smile: "Mr. Xia, in order to celebrate our cooperation, would you like some red wine? "

"From our family's Chateau Lafite, in 1787, it's been in storage for nearly two hundred years. It's definitely a treat!"

Xia Yu glanced at Guy Rosier and Davis Rosier.

In the West, to celebrate the achievement of cooperation, some people will use champagne, and of course some more elegant use red wine, especially in France, which loves red wine, so Xia Yu is not very surprised.

Now that the wine has been brought over, it is inconvenient for him to refuse.

He smiled and nodded. "I haven't tasted Lafite in 1787, I think it will be a good treat!"

Hearing Xia Yu's words, David Rosier opened the red wine with a smile, and then poured it into the goblet gracefully.

"Bang!"

"I wish us a successful cooperation!"

"Of course, a pleasure to work with!"

The three wine glasses touched each other, Xia Yu moved a little slower, and when he saw that David Rosier and Guy Rosier had really drank the wine, he quietly drank it into his mouth, carefully to taste.

Nearly two hundred years old Lafite red wine has a very soft taste. It has a strong mellow aroma in the mouth, which is the mellow aroma that is accumulated and fermented over time.

It tastes really good!

Xia Yu smiled and praised: "The wine has a strong aroma and tastes very good!"

Xia Yu's praise was very useful to David Rothier, he said with a smile: "Mr. Xia, if you like Lafite, there are not many from 1787, but there are still some that have been stored for more than a hundred years. You send some to your home."

Xia Yu smiled and shook his head and declined: "Mr. David Rosier, thank you for your generosity, but no need. The lvmh group also has thousands of acres of vineyards. Although most of them are made of champagne and brandy, there are still some High quality red wine.”

David Rothier said with a little regret: "Well then!"

...

On the way back, Xia Yu recalled the pride and superiority that David Rossier had when talking about Chateau Lafite when he was at Guy Rosier's house, and couldn't help sneering.

However, it was precisely because of David Rothier's performance that Xia Yu realized that, as a wine giant behind the scenes in France, he did not have a top wine estate, which was somewhat incompatible with his worth.

And to be honest, in the wine country of France, owning a top wine estate will undoubtedly better expand his popularity and contacts.

And considering the grand occasion of the wine market in later generations, it is also a safe and profitable business to start one or two top wine estates now.

After making up his mind, Xia Yu immediately asked Leo Martin to collect information on top French wineries after returning to the company to see which one was more suitable for acquisition.

At the same time, Xia Yu also called George Berkeley in London and informed the latter of the conditions he had negotiated with the Rothier family.

And told him to arrange the team to go to Barclays Bank as soon as possible to complete the acquisition.

On January 28, when George Berkeley said that he had completed the wholly-owned holdings of Royal Bank of Scotland and Standard Chartered Bank, Xia Yu was very happy. Finally, in addition to Jiuding Bank and Chiba Bank of the island country, Xia Yu was very happy. A large bank to use with complete peace of mind!

Then he secretly called François Mitterrand, thanked him for his help, and informed him of the relaxed conditions for the Rothier family. François Mitterrand easily agreed, and congratulated Xia Yu. .

And this afternoon, Leo Martin also collected the information of the top French wineries very efficiently.

After walking into Xia Yu's office, Leo Martin reported his work to Xia Yu with the information: "Boss, Alain Chevalier is very familiar with the wine field, and I asked him to help me collect information together. This is after three repetitions. The verified information should be the most detailed!"

"Leo, thank you for your hard work, let's put the materials down first, and if something happens, I'll let you know!"

Xia Yu said with a satisfied smile and sent Leo Martin away.

Then he flipped through the information of the top French wine estates.

The world's most famous wine is in France, and the top ten French wine brands in later generations are produced in the top ten famous French wineries!

The ten famous wine estates are Chateau Lafite, Chateau Latour, Chateau Mouton, Chateau Margaux, Chateau Aubion, Chateau Petrus, Chateau Cheval and Chateau Ausson, Chateau Peng and Chateau Romanée-Conti.

Among them, Chateau Lafite, Chateau Latour, Chateau Mouton, Chateau Margaux, and Chateau Obiano are also known as the "Five Famous Chateaus", because these five top wine estates all produce From the Left Bank of Bordeaux.

In addition, on the right bank of Bordeaux, there are three famous chateaus: Chateau Petrus, Chateau Cheval Blanc and Chateau Ausson.

Therefore, together with the "five famous villages" on the left bank, it is also called "the eight famous villages in Bordeaux"!

It can be said that Bordeaux is the main producing area of ​​top French red wine.

Of course, now Lipeng Winery is only the tail of the crane.

But Romanee-Conti winery is different, this winery is located in the Burgundy region, and Romanee-Conti is widely regarded as the world's top red wine vineyard.

This super winery, located at the heart of the Yeqiuzi wine region in the Burgundy region, alone is enough to elevate the Burgundy region to a par with Bordeaux.

And Romanee-Conti winery is also one of the oldest wine estates in France, which can be traced back to the abbey of Saint-Vivan de Viggi 11 centuries ago.

In the past few days, when Xia Yu was thinking about the acquisition target of the winery, what he liked most was the Romanee-Conti winery. Of course, if you want to buy it, you must buy the best one!

After reading the information, his thoughts became more and more firm.

Compared with the annual production of about 210,000 bottles of the Lafite winery of the Rothier family, the annual output of Romanee-Conti is controlled at about 6,000 bottles, although there is a reason for the Romanee-Conti winery. The area of ​​​​is less than that of Chateau Lafite, but another important reason is that Romanee-Conti pays great attention to quality, and almost every three grapes can produce a bottle of wine on average.

This winery, which was taken over by Prince Conti, a cousin of Louis XV, in 1760 and renamed it, has changed hands several times over the past two hundred years. The last time was in 1942. The Henri Leroy family each owns 50% of the shares!

Neither of these two families were the original owners of Romanee Conti. Without the factor of family glory, Xia Yu could have used money to smash Romanee Conti over!

If the premium is 50%, the premium will be doubled, and if it fails, the premium will be doubled. He does not believe that the Divo Blocher family and the Henri Lehua family can resist the franc offensive.

Anyway, the value and future potential of Romanee-Conti Winery is amazing. Before Xia Yu's rebirth, a 1945 Romanee-Conti wine was auctioned for 3.86 million yuan, setting a world record for red wine!

And there are as many as 600 bottles of the 1945 red wine stored by Romanee Conti, and just one of these wines can be sold for hundreds of millions of dollars if it is properly operated!

It's not too cost-effective to copy it all back now!

Then Xia Yu considered that the production of Romanée-Conti was indeed too low, and the Rothschild family owned Chateau Lafite as well as Chateau Mouton. If he only owned one Chateau Romanée-Conti, There must be some pleasantries.

After some deliberation, he selected Chateau Latour, which was designated by Napoleon III as the second of the "Four Famous Chateaus" in 1855.

Although Chateau Latour was subordinated to Chateau Lafite when it was first rated in 1855, after years of development, Chateau Latour is similar to Chateau Lafite, that is, its annual output is higher than Chateau Lafite. Zhuang lacked 10,000 sticks, only 200,000 sticks.

However, considering that the Rochelle family's Mouton Chateau was only rated as one of the five famous Chateaux on the Left Bank of Bordeaux in 1973, it was only one of the second-tier chateaux in 1855.

If Xia Yu could own Chateau Latour and Chateau Romanee Conti, he would actually be much better than the Rothier family.

Moreover, Chateau Latour is also very easy to acquire. In 1963, the Ségur family sold the Chateau to an earl in England.

If the historical trajectory is followed, Chateau Latour will be repurchased by the French Kering Group in 1993, and the ownership will be brought back to France.

Of course, the previous life is the previous life after all. In this life, Chateau Latour was targeted by Xia Yu, so naturally there is nothing to do with the Kering Group!

After delineating the prey, Xia Yu called Leo Martin and asked him to take charge of the acquisition of Chateau Romanée-Conti. Then he called George Berkeley in London and asked him to arrange for the English earl. Acquisition of Chateau Latour.

After the two wineries are in hand, Xia Yu believes that his quality of life can be improved to a certain extent.

Time flies by like a white horse, two days have passed in a flash!

When the scorching sun in the east slowly rises, it heralds the beginning of February.

And this day is also the day of the global release of "Economic Weekly"!
