Chapter 310 Wine and Private Management Team
Generally speaking, people trust older winemakers more.It seems that winemakers are like Chinese medicine practitioners, people usually think that experience is the most important.

But in fact, in the brewing of wine, the most important raw material is grapes.Even if it is the same winemaker, grapes from the same vineyard, and grapes from different years will produce different wines.The reason is that different climates affect the sweetness and moisture of the grapes.

The main role of the winemaker is actually to judge which grapes are better and which are most suitable for winemaking.But it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice, so the raw material is the most fundamental.

Although Jose is very young, he has been hanging out in the vineyard since he was a child, and he grew up watching his grandfather make wine.The most enviable thing is that he has an emperor's tongue, which is extremely sensitive to the quality of wine.Although he did not have the opportunity to preside over wine brewing before, his grandfather's experience is almost his experience. He knows what kind of grapes and how to make wine.Last year, a small amount of fruit in the vineyard gave him a chance to test his skills.His confidence is much greater now than last year.

Not sure how good the wine will be from the grapes this year though.But he thinks that as long as there are no major mistakes, good wine should be produced this year.He said to Li Sheng quite confidently: "I think this year's grape theory can produce a dry red with an average score of more than 95. But I suggest that some grapes be used to make cognac."

Although he has not tasted the wine brewed by José yet, since the vineyard was handed over to him, Li Sheng also agreed to his suggestion based on the principle of no doubt: "Do whatever you think is good. In this You are the only expert on our farm."

"That's great. But we need more equipment and tools. You know, although all winemaking is the most traditional, but our vineyard is too large. If it is all winemaking, I think it may take thousands of people." Only then can all the grapes be brewed in time." He said as he took out a procurement plan. "This is the budget I made."

Li Sheng thought that those things didn't need much money, so he nodded, took a look at them, and signed his name, saying: "You have made a plan for how many people are needed to make wine, so that Zhang can make arrangements."

"I will. No delay in production."

Listening to his promise, Li Sheng smiled and said, "I wish you the best wine this year."

Jose threw away the last bit of nervousness and said: "If there are no accidents, I will make good wine, because although the grapes on the farm are only bearing a large number of fruits for the first time, the quality of the grapes is very good. Moreover, here and other tropical regions in Brazil The region is different, and there are good noble rot colonies here."

Li Sheng knows this. Wine in the true sense does not mean that all grapes can be used for brewing, but grapes that have been infected with noble rot can be used for brewing.

As for where the noble rot colony on the farm came from, Li Sheng was not sure, but he thought it should have been brought out from space.

After sending José away, Li Sheng remembered that although a batch of wine had been brewed before, it was still in the process of fermentation.He hasn't had a drop yet.But he is not a drinker either, this is just a thought.

Speaking of wine, there are hundreds of tons of white wine in his wine cellar, and the winery that helped him make wine is said to now buy some grain from the Silent Farm from Chen Bo every year to brew a batch of high-end wine .

Thinking of this, Li Sheng had the urge to buy that winery.If he can buy the winery, the farm's grain should not have to worry about selling.Although the price of grain here is relatively high, the price is nearly a hundred times lower than that of the wine brewed from the grain in that winery.

Thinking about this matter in the afternoon, in the evening, he actually called Chen Bo to ask if there was a possibility of buying the winery.

When Chen Bo heard about his plan, he immediately blocked his mind: "First, the winery has shares from the government; second, the workers also have shares; third, the winery is a listed company, and the current stock price Quite high. If you want to acquire, you need at least tens of billions to control, and maybe even tens of billions to have full control. It’s not worth it.”

Li Sheng thought about it for a while, and finally gave up on this sudden acquisition idea, but he did not give up his plan to use wine to promote grain sales.

He asked Chen Bo, "Then it shouldn't be a problem to buy a winery with a low price."

Chen Bo thought for a while and said, "I can help you understand this. In addition, you can talk to Luo Zi. His network is wider, and he may have more information on this."

Li Sheng called Luo Zheng as kindly as possible.

Hearing that Li Sheng was going to buy a winery, Luo Zheng really gave a suggestion: "I do know that there is a winery that has a good formula, but it's just not famous enough, so it's been half-dead. And this winery is a private enterprise. If the price is right, I think they should be willing to sell."

Upon hearing this, Li Sheng said, "Please help me find out."

"No problem. But brother Sheng, I want to remind you. Huaxia's wine is a monopoly. The price of wine on the market now does not represent the price of the wine. A large part of it is eaten by tobacco and alcohol companies."

Li Sheng said with a smile: "As long as the recipe is good, the craftsmanship is good. If the brewed product can't be sold at a reasonable price, then I'll keep it for myself, give it away, or drink it slowly."

Hearing what he said, Luo Zheng felt a little funny.However, thinking about the news he got from his uncle today, he felt that Li Sheng's purchase of a winery might be treated differently by the higher-ups.

He thought about it and said, "Since you said so, I'll help you find out."

"Then I'll wait for your news."

Li Sheng hung up the phone, and the more he thought about his sudden feline idea, the more feasible it became.Food cannot be stored for long.But wine is fine.If the grain on the farm cannot be sold, it will be shipped to Huaxia to make wine, and some of it can be sold.If you can't sell it, you can save it first, and you will be able to sell it one day.

In that way, the food grown on the farm does not have to worry about being unable to sell it.

Just thinking about this matter, he suddenly felt that what he had done had exceeded his original intention.

At the beginning, he just thought about making a bigger career than his father's hard work.At first, he felt that as long as he utilized the farm, planted food, raised cattle, and sold everything, it should be considered a success.Now, he not only sells all the cattle, but also produces many things that he never thought of before, and even sells the pasture as a treasure.

That has far exceeded his original wish.It's just that he doesn't know why and doesn't feel obvious satisfaction.

But he just feels melancholy once in a while, and he will do what he should do next.

He was picky about the leaders of the management team before, so that the headhunting company can only find those with top abilities.Today, they finally found one.

This person is from Huaxia, but he has experience in the United States, and has served as a senior executive in three Fortune [-] companies.Li Sheng needs to interview him today.Of course, I didn't really come to Brazil. Now that the Internet is very developed, it is completely possible to conduct interviews through videophones.

In fact, for such a senior talent, it is impossible to see the ability of the other party in the interview.Even as long as the resume is real, looking at the resume can judge the level of such a person better than interviewing.This interview is actually to look at the eye, and then talk about the salary and job requirements.

Li Sheng's request to him is very simple, that is, to assist him in managing all properties other than Silent Farm Zhi under the condition of his authorization.

In Li Sheng's mind, a sound team is needed, such as lawyers, accountants, planners and financial consultants.

However, the interviewer made a suggestion: "Mr. Li, as the richest man in the world, must attract worldwide attention. I suggest that Mr. Li hire an image design team. In addition, for Mr. Li's health, he also needs to hire a team of nutritionists." .”

Li Sheng thought about it for a while, and felt that what he said was reasonable, but he did not fully accept his suggestion, and said: "Mr. Qiu, I think you are the person I need. I hope you accept my invitation to be my personal Chief management consultant, and set up a private management team for me. The team members can be composed of the most suitable people you think. However, I don’t need a nutritionist for the time being. The treatment of this team, your personal treatment is 1000 million RMB per year. In addition Give another 0.1% of the benefits of managing the property. What do you think?"

Qiu Desheng nodded on the videophone and said, "I am honored to serve Mr. Li."

Regardless of the small proportion of dividends given by Li Sheng, one only needs to look at the huge base of Li Sheng's industrial income to see that this dividend is actually quite a lot.

In the next few years, the New East Asia Seed Company will have an annual income of more than 160 billion after tax, and the Amazon Animal Husbandry Company will be able to share billions of reais of after-tax income in addition to the pasture sales income of Silent Farm.

Just for these two items, a 0.1% dividend can generate tens of millions of RMB in income.Li Sheng also has other industries that have not yet generated income.Anyone with insight knows that Li Sheng, who is 27 years old, will definitely not only earn the current scale of income in the future.Although it takes a gamble, why not gamble?

Hearing that he agreed, Li Sheng said, "I have no plans to go to China yet. If Mr. Qiu has no plans to come to Brazil, I can authorize Anthony, the person in charge of Silent Farm's Lingang office, to sign a valid contract with you." Agreement, we will sign a formal contract after we meet."

Qiu Desheng thought for a while and said: "I hope to recruit a complete team for Mr. Li first, and then go to meet Mr. Li together."

Li Sheng didn't object to this, and said, "That's good. You look for candidates first. If you need the treatment they need, you plan it for me."

"Ok."

After the interview across the ocean, Li Sheng called the legal counsel of Tianjing Group and asked him to draw up an employment agreement.He proposed a few clauses, the liquidated damages should not be too high.In addition, pay attention to the protection of Party A, that is, his business secrets.

He raised these mainly because he thought the interview was good but not necessarily the right person.Maybe he fired Qiu Desheng one day.It is only used temporarily now.Of course, if you feel that you can be trusted, it will not be too late to sign a better contract in the future.
