Chapter 439: 【Latour Winery】

  Chapter 439【Latour Winery】

  London Airport

  Wu Guangyao stepped off the plane and saw Kayla and Mrs. Sarton waving to him from a long distance, making Wu Guangyao feel that London seems to have become his home;

  I have my own women, my own children, and my own career. Isn’t this home?

After getting in the car, Kayla said mysteriously: "There is good news to tell you!"

  Wu Guangyao’s first reaction was, did he miss it last time?

  So, Wu Guangyao blurted out: "Which one of you is pregnant again?"

  The two women immediately flicked Wu Guangyao, one left and the other right, and Kayla said dissatisfiedly: "I want to give birth to your Chris? We will not give birth!"

  Wu Guangyao laughed and took the two in his arms.

  Kayla is 40 years old this year, and Mrs. Sutton is 43 years old. How could Wu Guangyao let the two girls rebirth!

  Kayla looked at Wu Guangyao and said seriously: "We are going to give you a gift! Do you remember that you once said that the Wu family also needs their own wine estate, right?"

  Wu Guangyao nodded, and then said with a smile: "Can you still buy wineries in Bordeaux, France?"

  Don’t blame Wu Guangyao for teasing the two, it is because if it is just a wine estate in other regions, it will be easy for Wu Guangyao;

  Only the famous wineries in France are worthy of Wu Guangyao's joy!

  However, since the 1960s, France has not allowed its Bordeaux wine estates to be sold to foreigners, even British;

  The French people believe that these famous villages have hundreds of years of history and are the treasures of the French people;

  Selling to foreigners, isn’t it slapped in the face of the people of the country?

  Seeing Wu Guangyao not only did not have a surprise, but teased the two of them, and the two women immediately hated their teeth!

  I saw Mrs. Sutton said lightly: “Sister, we kindly prepared gifts for him, but others don’t appreciate it. In this case, this Chateau Latour, we’d better sell it!”

  Nani?

   Chateau Latour?

  "Dare you! Be careful of my family law! Chateau Latour? Are you sure that the British can buy it?"

  Seeing that Wu Guangyao was anxious, the two women finally felt revenge.

  Mrs. Sarton smiled and said, "You know how good we are!"

  Wu Guangyao nodded, these two women did a big deal for themselves this time, and they want to see them in the evening!

  "Tell your husband, how did you get the Chateau Latour!"

  Latu, Wu Guangyao is very familiar with, and future generations will also enjoy a great reputation in China!

  In France, Latour is an ancient manor that has been mentioned in the literature as early as the 14th century, but it was not cultivated as a vineyard until the 16th century. In 1670, this ancient manor was bought by Louis XIV’s personal secretary Dai Chavanni, and the ownership of the manor has been changed hands among French nobles ever since.

  Kayla said: "You only know that France does not allow this winery to be sold to foreigners; but you don't know, when did the French start to not allow famous wineries to be sold to foreigners?"

  Wu Guangyao said modestly: "I wish to hear the details!"

  Kayla saw that Wu Guangyao cares about this wine estate so much, and her heart is extremely satisfied. It seems that she has really done something extraordinary this time.

Kayla said: "This is how the Bermont family became one of the three largest shareholders who owned Latour Fort in 1841. Since the shareholders of Latour Fort were more than 60 shareholders at that time, in order to prevent it from being caused by inheritance problems again. As a result of the division of shares, the Bermond family became its legal person in accordance with the law. By 1963, the Bermond family was no longer willing to distribute Latour’s annual profits to many shareholders, so they sold 79% of the manor’s shares to Posen and Ha The two major groups of Granville were later increased to 93%. After the news came out, it shocked the whole of France and regarded them as traitors. Only after this, France strictly ordered this winery to flow into the hands of foreign consortia."

  Wu Guangyao suddenly, that's it!

  The original Latour’s shares have been in the hands of the British!

  This is easy to do. With Kayla’s wealth and strength, buying a small winery is not easy!

   "How much money was spent, I will reimburse you!" Wu Guangyao held the two women tightly and said happily.

   "No need, just a small winery, 10.5 million US dollars, for me it is just sprinkling water!" Kayla learned the tone of Hong Kong people.

"Ha ha!"

   Wu Guangyao finally decided that Chateau Latour would fall under the name of Kaila, so as not to anger the French;

   After all, it falls into the hands of the British, they may just be angry;

  If you know that you have fallen into the hands of the Chinese on Hong Kong Island, I am afraid you will have to make trouble!

  Furthermore, Kayla is also his wife, she also gave birth to three sons and one daughter, and together with Wu Guangyao, he created the London branch of the Wu family.

  Wu Guangyao started his business after spending a week of vacation in Inviting Moon Manor.

  In London, Wu Guangyao chose two banks as his gold trading intermediaries and reserve providers, namely HSBC and Lloyds Bank.

  HSBC is an old friend of Wu Guangyao, so even if it is the British local HSBC Bank, Wu Guangyao is like a queen-level guest.

   "President David, I want to turn all my 62 million US dollars deposits in your bank into gold nuggets and store them in your bank's vault!" Wu Guangyao didn't talk nonsense, and directly stated his intentions.

  The president of HSBC in the UK was surprised, and then asked tentatively: "Mr. Wu, all turned into gold?"

  Wu Guangyao nodded and looked at David with a smile, but the attitude on his face was very determined.

  Naturally, David did not dare to refuse. After all, this is also a business. If he does not agree, the ship king on the opposite side will definitely take out all of them and find other banks to cooperate.

  David said: "50 tons of gold is not a small amount, it takes a certain amount of time!"

  Wu Guangyao said: “There is no time limit, as long as your bank tries its best.”

  Naturally, Wu Guangyao is hard to say about the two-year period, otherwise the gold will rise after two years, how should he explain it?

  Moreover, even if you don’t say the specific time, HSBC will not delay the task for two years, and it will be completed within half a year.

  Then the two parties discussed issues such as commissions and custody fees, but Wu Guangyao generously accepted HSBC’s rates.

  After HSBC is settled, Lloyds Bank is naturally easy, after all, such big banks have this kind of business;

  Next, Wu Guangyao plans to go to Zurich, Switzerland, find two more banks, and take his orders.

  Swiss banks are world-famous, plus Zurich has a gold trading market, so it is naturally easy to handle this kind of business.

  Zurich, the largest city in the Swiss Confederation and the richest city in Europe.

  Hill, President of UBS, poured a glass of water on Wu Guangyao himself, and handed it to Wu Guangyao with a smile on his face.

"thanks!"

   "Mr. Wu is polite!"

  Hill believes that the ship king must have earned too many dollars recently, so he wanted to find a bank deposit in Switzerland;

  After all, Swiss banks are the first choice of the rich in the world!

  Wu Guangyao didn't let Hill more guess, he said directly: "President Hill, I want your bank to purchase 50 tons of gold on my behalf, and then store it in your bank's vault."

  Hill was taken aback for a moment. He didn't expect it to be such a business, but he quickly reacted. This person must not neglect!

   "Thank you Mr. Wu for his trust in the bank, we will treat this matter as a top priority, and it will definitely satisfy you!"

  Wu Guangyao nodded and said, "I believe in your professionalism and strength, and I believe this is just the beginning of our cooperation!"

  Hill happily said: "I am willing to help you! A distinguished customer like Mr. Wu chooses us, which is our greatest affirmation."

  Hill’s words are quite sincere, but they are not exaggerated!

  Before Suez was closed in 1967, Wu Guangyao probably had the same reputation as Onassis in the world;

  The closure of the canal created a golden period for shipping. The strength of global shipping was accidentally exposed, shocking the world.

  So, how much money Wu Guangyao has, these bankers will know more or less!

  At this time, Wu Guangyao also knew that this kind of gold trading is not too difficult for these banks;

  Because they know too many gold merchants and have a huge vault.

  When Wu Guangyao really came into contact with the gold business, his ambitions began to magnify!

  300 tons of gold is not enough!

  After these banks have completed their tasks, Wu Guangyao will use the dividends of the Global Group in the second half of the year to purchase gold again based on the strength and efficiency of each bank.

  Perhaps, the reserve of 1,000 tons of gold is not impossible to complete!

  While 1000 tons of gold, Wu Guangyao only needs to spend at most 1.3 billion US dollars. This amount of money does not seem to be too difficult for Wu Guangyao.

  Universal Group can pay 800 million US dollars in dividends a year, and it only takes one and a half years to collect it.

  After the two banks in Switzerland had negotiated, Wu Guangyao returned to London, but did not tell Kayla and Mrs. Shatton because he still had a pair of Ukrainian twins Anna and Ina.

  Wu Guangyao asked the driver to drive to Guildford High School, a girls’ school in southwest London. After arriving at the destination, Wu Guangyao waited in the car.

  After waiting for less than 30 minutes, the two girls dressed in high school uniforms and got into Wu Guangyao’s car.

   "Brother!" the two women shouted in unison.

  Wu Guangyao nodded, then looked at the two unscrupulously, especially the expressions on their faces;

  Naturally, I want to find some clues from the faces of the two women, whether the two women betrayed themselves or whether they are loyal to them.

  In fact, Wu Guangyao did not intend to occupy the two for a long time, but at least during the period when the two women were kept in custody, he was absolutely not allowed to betray him.

  Wu Guangyao did his best to the two girls. Not only did he give money, he also found a relationship in London, so that the two girls could go to high school. It was sooner or later that they were naturalized in the UK.

  Looking at the attachment on the faces of the two women, Wu Guangyao happily took them in his arms.

   Going back to the villa, there will be a fight, after all, this is Wu Guangyao's original intention.

  Wu Guangyao spent a month in Europe and did not take any major actions. He inspected the industries he already owned, such as Metro Group, newspapers, shipping divisions and other companies.

  Wu Guangyao always warned himself that he should travel step by step if he crosses early!

  And I am less than 38 years old, and I have perfect physical functions in all aspects, and I have a lot of time to make arrangements!
