Chapter 1798： Lost the title

"Actually, our plantation has been maintained to my generation, and it has been completely unable to survive, otherwise I would not seek transformation~"

Seeing the other party's frank appearance, Yang Cheng couldn't help asking, "Your family used to grow sugarcane?"

Charles nodded, "That's right~ We were in the south, and it was the top sugarcane plantation, but with historical changes, cane sugar is no longer a rare product, and the output in Hawaii is higher. The quality of sucrose is also higher. We have no way to survive. We have grown everything to survive these years.

This time I came to investigate the wine industry on the West Coast. We decided to completely transform. "

"Grow grapes?"

"Yes, winemaking, I am optimistic about the future of wine, at least better than sugarcane."

Yang Cheng didn't seem to be joking when seeing the other party, and couldn't help but said, "South Carolina should have a relatively humid subtropical climate, right?

Can you grow grapes? "

Gary Horner could not help but interject, "Yes, growing grapes in South Carolina is very challenging, but I heard that some brave vintners in South Carolina are experimenting with small grapes and hybrid grape varieties, as well as the native American Maas. Wine made from kartin grapes."

Charles also admitted, "You are right. South Carolina covers approximately 32,000 square miles (82,900 square kilometers) of relatively flat coastal plains, extending from the Atlantic Ocean to the waterfall line. This is a geological fault line parallel to the Atlantic coast. , From North Carolina to New Jersey.

In fact, this terrain is suitable for growing grapes. The few wineries in South Carolina are spread all over the state because of this favorable terrain, from low-lying areas affected by the sea to the Appalachian Mountains near Greenville. The slightly higher western area in the southern hilly area can plant vines, so site selection will not be a problem.

Moreover, considering the long colonial history of South Carolina, immigrants began planting grapes here as early as the 18th century, trying to use native grapes from the southeastern United States to make high-quality European wines.

It has been successful, but viticulture has never had a large-scale development in South Carolina, resulting in extremely low vineyard coverage in South Carolina.

This is because in the past, South Carolina planted oak trees and sugarcane on a large scale, which also produced sufficient benefits, causing people to neglect the cultivation of vineyards. "

Gary Horner could not help interrupting, "What about the climate? Don't forget, the climate is the most important factor in determining the success of a wine."

Charles spread his hands out, "You are right. The hot climate and humid air in South Carolina constitute the most serious obstacle to effective viticulture, especially the prevalence of fungal diseases, such as mold and hot summer temperatures. Danger.

However, I visited many wineries and found that modern vineyard management techniques can reduce the risk of fungal diseases to a certain extent.

Of course, this aspect also requires highly selective site selection to avoid the summer heat, which causes the vines to stop their metabolic processes. "

Gary Horner shook his head. "No, no, it wasn't that there were no ambitious viticulturalists who challenged South Carolina's harsh climate, but the fact that summer rainfall is volatile makes reliable harvests impossible.

The threat of the hurricane in the Venia Plains also made them realize the reality and finally retreated from South Carolina. Do you want to be the next loser? "

This is almost a word that determines life and death, and it seems that failure is inevitable.

Fearing that the crackdown was not enough, Gary Horner delivered the final blow. "Growers in South Carolina have been working hard to find the most suitable varieties for the changing climate of South Carolina.

At present, apart from grapes, wines in South Carolina are usually made with fruits such as cranberries, strawberries and peaches.

That is no longer the essence of wine, if you want to use this method, just as I have not said before, I wish you success. "

Charles was not annoyed and looked around, "So I came here. Originally, I planned to acquire Ailas Winery. While operating the winery so that my funds can be circulated in a healthy manner, I will use the skills of your experts, a little bit. Found ways and means to make real wine in South Carolina."

After a pause, he glanced at Yang Cheng, "But after seeing Mr. Yang, I knew that my plan was about to change."

Yang Cheng shrugged, "It's a pity, although I don't know it was the Ellas Winery that you focused on first, or me, but I am determined to win the winery."

"It doesn't matter. I know that I am not competitive in front of Mr. Yang, so this time I came here as a visit, and it will not affect your acquisition."

Yang Cheng secretly clicked a thumbs-up, saying that the person who knows the current affairs is a handsome, and the impression of Charles in his heart is much better.

However, he felt that this incident might have been caused by the people of the Ellas family. Otherwise, how could Charles appear so coincidentally when he came to investigate?

Maybe this is the deliberate arrangement of the Ailas family, hoping to see Yang Cheng and Charles bid against each other in order to increase the value of the winery.

However, they didn't expect that Charles had voluntarily given up the competition. Yang Cheng couldn't help but feel that his domineering spirit was well practiced, and he could get started. With a domineering soldier who gave up without fighting, it felt so crooked.

No, no, it’s a bit floating~

No one knows Yang Cheng’s S2 activities in his heart, and Charles said again, "But I am fortunate to know Mr. Yang. For me, this is absolutely God’s will for me.

So I would like to extend my sincere invitation to Mr. and Mrs. Yang again to visit my plantation, maybe we will have cooperation in the future I also have a seafood trading company in Charleston, and I have fresh food every day When the catch comes ashore, I can invite Mr. Yang to taste the freshest seafood. "

Yang Cheng accepted the invitation happily, "Of course, we will go. I have long heard that the shrimps in South Carolina are very famous and must be tasted.

By the way, speaking of cooperation, I invested in a Chinese restaurant in New York, which will use seafood. I will give you the number of the person in charge. You can chat to see if there is any possibility of cooperation. "

Charles was overjoyed. Although this was only a small cooperation that could not be too small, the profit might not be enough for Yang Cheng's one-time expense, but Charles values ​​the point of contact between the two parties. As long as the two parties have conflicts of interest, they are still afraid. No deeper cooperation in the future?

"No problem, no matter what ingredients your restaurant needs, I can get them and ensure that they are delivered to the restaurant in the fastest way every day. This is my promise~"

"I thank you for your generosity for the restaurant. The restaurant will expand to Los Angeles recently. I think you can try to enter the West Coast market~"
