Chapter 1051

St. mantoshava group's acquisition frenzy in Napa Valley naturally caused a shock in Napa Valley, the holy land of American wine. Fortunately, the acquisition of the wine industry will not be too conspicuous. In addition, Li Feng has done some public relations. Although it has caused some waves, most ordinary people may not pay attention to it It did not cause a wider sensation.

In recent days, Li Feng is very happy. After all, the famous Napa Valley worship villages such as Haran and Luyue have been pocketed by themselves. It doesn't feel too good, although it costs a lot.

In addition to continuous acquisitions, Xiao Ying, the symbol of Napa Valley and the king of the winery, is also under negotiation, which makes Li Feng look forward to it.

With the continuous reduction of his shares in the liquor company, Li Feng has recently started planning and negotiation on the merger of the shares of the liquor company in his hands into the parent company St. mantoshava, which has been supported by several private funds such as Wall Street, Harlan family and Bryant family.

In addition to these companies directly agreeing to Li Feng's proposal, the other shareholders also discussed one after another and did not directly agree. After all, everyone has different ideas. People like Henry Jaye have more conservative ideas and are worried about completely losing the control and management right of the Wine Manor.

However, Li Feng is still confident that they will agree to his proposal. As he said before, although it seems that they have lost control of the winery, it is realistic to say that the ownership of the remaining wineries is basically in the hands of the winery company, except for the two wineries of Henri Jaye in bokendi and Lalu Lehua.

Seriously speaking, now the operators of major wineries are just migrant workers. Of course, these migrant workers are a little different, that is, they are all shareholders of the parent company, although these shareholders have few shares.

As the saying goes, there are gains and losses. Although it will completely lose the control of the winery, becoming a shareholder of the parent company has also become one of the bosses in a certain sense. Moreover, Li Feng, the big boss, is very principled and has given a certain premium for exchanging shares of the parent company.

With the continuous expansion of St. mantoshava group and the achievement of luxury empire in the future, the shares obtained by the owners of major wineries will become more and more valuable. If the winery is lost, they will get more valuable shares of luxury group. It depends on the choice of each family.

......

The acquisition of several major wineries by St. mantoshava does not need the big boss Li Feng. St. mantoshava itself has enough funds, which is the normal operation of a company. If every acquisition requires the big boss Li Feng to raise funds for acquisition, it will be too hard for the big man behind the scenes.

It has to be said that the acquisition of these Napa Valley famous wineries that sound like "up to the top" is actually not as difficult as expected. When Li Feng took the general trend, provided sufficient funds and some conditions to help the owners of these wineries develop, he won them smoothly.

In addition to Xiaoying winery, with the acquisition of major wineries, the next step is to integrate resources. Now old Pinot Noir has rich experience in such things, and they don't need Li Feng to worry about them at all.

In addition to acquiring the winery, the next step is to inject capital into major wineries. For example, Harlan winery needs to negotiate more than 60 vineyards. According to William Harlan, he hopes to get at least 13 vineyards.

There are also post horse winery and Bryant winery. These two wineries have a lot of idle land, many of which are very suitable for planting vineyards. With the support of St. mantoshava, each winery can naturally increase investment and vineyards to achieve the purpose of increasing wine production.

And now the next plan has been formulated, that is, Napa Valley has basically taken shape. Next, the wine company will mainly further consolidate and expand the winery scale of Bordeaux and Burgundy, so as to prepare for the expansion of St. mantoshava group in the world.

With the arrival of the annual wine scoring and auction in early November, wine lovers, winemakers, wine merchants, rich and celebrities from all walks of life gathered in the Red Wine Museum in the center of Napa Valley town. This is the place to hold the wine evaluation party and the next wine auction.

A wine tasting and auction will be held here for almost a week. Of course, what can be photographed are the red wines that stand out at the tasting and the top wines provided by major worship wineries.

Of course, Robert Parker is the most famous wine tasting master. Basically, Robert Parker's tasting has successfully become a wind vane for most people

......

"John, you are here. I can hear from you every day these two days. Congratulations!" When Li Feng walked into the Central Museum accompanied by a group of people, he was greeted by his old friend and good friend Kenny, laughing and congratulating himself.

"Kenny, how can I see you everywhere? Why are you here?" Looking at a pair of Kenny who didn't beat and smiled, Li Feng replied angrily.

"Ha ha... Who makes you so excited? You know, we all book famous wineries such as Luyue and Haran every year. We are all senior members of these wineries. Don't I flatter you? How about increasing our reservation number from this year!"

Hearing Li Feng's joke, Kenny also responded with a smile.

"Er... William, ED, this is Kenny Rockefeller. Just call him Kenny. You can consider increasing Kenny's share of one bottle a year." Listening to Kenny's unreliable joke, Li Feng immediately smiled and said.

"Uh..."

"Ha ha..."

“...”

At this time, the tasting has not officially started. Wine dealers, major wine lovers and rich celebrities from all over the United States and even all over the world have formed their own small groups in twos and threes. They are communicating with each other and very lively.

"Hello, Mr. Li. Welcome to the California Wine Association."

Just after greeting Kenny and introducing the people around him, he heard a greeting and turned to see a middle-aged man aged 4 or 50 smiling at himself.

......

"Hi... James, Hello, didn't you say, just call me John, don't you want to make me a friend?"

"Er... Well, John, congratulations on bringing several famous wineries in Napa Valley. I welcome you on behalf of Napa Valley. I'll look forward to the wonderful performance of your wineries later!"

"OK, James, with your kind words, I also want to congratulate you. I hope this tasting will be successful!" Li Feng also responded with a smile.

James is the president of the California Wine Association. Of course, non-governmental organizations such as the California Wine Association are non-profit. They were originally organized by major wineries and winemakers in California, but now, these organizations have a wide range of contacts.

Li Feng met with others when he bought major wineries before. After all, although the acquisition of wineries can be basically completed as long as the winery owner agrees, from the perspective of procedures, it still needs the final consent of the California Wine Association.

Also when I met him last time, people invited Li Feng to join the Wine Association and become a member, which requires a certain membership fee every year. After all, people are a non-profit organization, and the membership fee is one of the important organizational benefits.

Often, some rich people in California are members of the association. On the one hand, it is also a part of American high-class society. On the other hand, many members can book top wine directly from Napa Valley worship villa, which can facilitate the rich to enjoy top wine.

Why can't those who worship the top wineries buy grapes? It is that the annual production of these top wineries is basically booked out by the winery's own members and relevant members such as the California Wine Association.

After some greetings, James, as the host, was naturally busy and left soon. At this time, with the host's opening speech at the host venue, James, a state councilor in California and the mayor of Napa city came on stage to make speeches. In the applause of the people, the wine tasting finally began.
