000145 Take over(1/2)
After the dispute was over on Monday, Xiao Yifei offered to suspend negotiations the next day, and he wanted to rush back to the winery.↗The other party was happy to drag it like this, so everyone got a day off.
When Xiao Yifei returned to the winery, it was already 10 o'clock in the evening. From Los Angeles, which never sleeps, to the dark Kalistoga, Xiao Yifei was still a little uncomfortable, but the black nose still warmly welcomed his return. Unfortunately, Xiao Yifei had been driving for so long, but he just played with it for a while before going to bed.
The next day, Xiao Yifei got up, and the black nose shook his tail and came up. Xiao Yifei took it slowly towards the winery.
All the leaves of the grapes in the vineyard have fallen to the ground, and only the shiny branches are left to wave into the air. Rows of grapes are like handstand-up iron brooms.
David, who had just returned from vacation, saw him from afar:
"David, when did you come back from vacation?"
"I came back two days ago."
"How about it, have you hunted the bear?"
"I didn't even see the bear fur, I only hit a few deer."
"That's a pity."
"It's okay, we've made an appointment and go early next year's hunting season."
“What month is the hunting season?”
"The autumn hunt we chose is from September to November."
The vineyards are just about to start harvesting in September. This is a critical moment in the vineyard. How can you leave David?
"Ah, the vineyards were then..."
"It's okay, boss, I'll go again after the vineyard is harvested. It's about mid-October, and there wasn't much trouble in the vineyard at that time."
As long as the time comes after the harvest season, there will be no problem
"Okay, as long as the vineyard is fine, you can go. By the way, David, how about the vineyard now?"
"It's normal. In order to facilitate them to install drip irrigation equipment, we will start winter cutting ahead of schedule this year."
At this time, the Mexican named Apei also came over:
"Boss Xiao, you are back."
"A Pei, Dongjian is your team leader. Are you all familiar with them?"
"Don't worry. They are definitely experienced and have excellent skills. We guarantee that they can help you get it quickly and well."
David drove him away impatiently:
"Go and guard your people quickly and choose branches carefully. I just saw someone leaving two buds."
"Is that true? I'll talk about these guys immediately, and you guys will chat slowly."
David continued:
"Xiao, they will enter the site tomorrow after installing drip irrigation. The pool on the mountain is almost done, and it will be used when the cement is completely dry."
Xiao Yifei raised his eyes and lowered it. The outside of the pool was actually painted with yellow and green colors, as if he had made a camouflage uniform for the pool, and integrated it with Yuanbao Mountain. He even found that it could not be possible from afar.
"Okay, what else?"
"That's the price may be higher?"
"Why, I agreed to have a $3,000 acre at the beginning."
"They said that the pool was too high and the pressure was too high, and the pipes had to be replaced with higher grades to withstand the water pressure."
Xiao Yifei looked up at the inconspicuous small hill bag.
"High? Don't you think it."
"Xiao, you're wrong about the reference. You have to compare with Mount St. Helena behind, this Yuanbao Hill is a small earth bun. But in fact it is 70 meters above the vineyard."
It is good for ordinary vineyard drip irrigation equipment and the pool can be 10 meters higher than the vineyard. It has been directly increased by 7 times. Ordinary pipes really cannot withstand the water pressure.
"Nothing, these are what I should do."
"Thank you so much for letting me know how to manage a winery."
"But Xiao, you shouldn't run around, you should calm down and manage the winery well. Thinking back then, I always wanted to go to Cuba for fun, but I didn't have time, so now I should have time to go there to see it."
"I know, I won't run around next year. I wish you a happy life in advance."
"Well. Monterrena will depend on you in the future."
Bo's car turned onto Tabus Street. From then on, the winery was completely under control in Xiao Yifei's hands, and he felt a heavy feeling on his shoulders.
"Chelsea. How did you learn blends from your mom?"
"I haven't met her requirements yet, the boss wants..."
"Your father is right. It is not good to expand the scale rashly. The newly bought vineyards need to be observed again, so I think we can use them to experiment."
"You are the boss, you have the final say."
"We will do the wines harvested in the vineyard next year. Let's do it as Napa Cabernet Sauvignon. If not, we will start a sub-brand. If it works, we will use Napa Cabernet Sauvignon. In addition, we will get a batch of wine to let you try blending. Try and try it, maybe you will find the feeling."
"Okay, I'll try."
Now that Bo has left, Xiao Yifei definitely doesn't want to be like Bo, Ceo and the winemaker shoulder to shoulder, making him not have much rest time a year. He hopes to live a relaxed life, so finding a Ceo for the winery is what you need to do most at the moment.
After observation during this period, among the senior executives of the winery, the winemaking manager Cameron has just come on stage. He is a person who is not good at speaking and has little interest in the position of CEO, so Xiao Yifei did not include him in the scope of investigation. Among the remaining winery manager Greg, vineyard manager David, and vice president Brian, Xiao Yifei still wants Greg to serve as the winery's CEO.
But before the announcement, he comforted David and Brian so that they would not feel hopeless in their rise and thus switch jobs.
There was a lot of things here in David Vineyard. After sending him to Bo, he came back to work. He had no idea what Xiao Yifei was looking for him.
"Xiao, what's the matter with me? Did something go wrong?"
"No, I want to talk to you about personnel arrangements."
"Personnel arrangements? What does it mean?"
"You probably know that I have other businesses and may have to deal with problems at any time, so I want to ask for a ceo in the winery. I have someone to choose now."
"Xiao, don't you want me to do it?"
Khan, Xiao Yifei was shocked, but I don’t know what to say, but fortunately David said:
"I can't do it. It's okay if you ask me to manage the vineyards. If you want to manage the winery, you will have to be in trouble."
"I'm going to let Greg do ceo, what do you think?"
"He is not bad, capable, experienced, and communication skills, and is indeed suitable."
"David, I came to you just because I was worried about you..."
"Boss, you don't have to worry about me. I just like the vineyards. I'm happy to see grapes every day."
"Since you like vineyards, then the winery will soon buy dozens of acres of Chardonnay vineyards at the entrance of the valley. I don't plan to leave them to Hanna for the time being. Do you want to try how to manage Chardonnay?"
"It should have been like this for a long time. I'm asking me to tell you that those dozens of acres should be taken back, and Chardonnay management is not complicated, so I can definitely handle it."
"Just that's the case, you need to run around in Napa Valley at any time."
"It's okay, just drive, you'll reach the valley entrance in 30 minutes. It's okay. It's just that our team..."
"I know, I plan to recruit two more people in your team."
Brian Xiao Yifei will not plan to go around in circles next. If he, like David, thinks that he will be in trouble.
"Bryan, I'm very satisfied with your work over the past few months. You know, I'm a young man, so I will expand the scale of the winery when I have money. Now I just buy vineyards and I will definitely buy other wineries in the future. I already have plans to buy another winery next year or the year after."
Brian was confused by Xiao Yifei's words, and Xiao Yifei also felt that his bend was too big.
"At that time, I will definitely not let each winery be responsible for selling its own brand of wine. I will gather the marketing teams of each winery to form a unified marketing department. And such a department, I hope you will be responsible for it at that time."
Xiao Yifei first described his career plan for Brian to avoid him thinking that he had no hope of going up.
"In this way, I will definitely not be the manager of the winery, so each winery will have a CEO to take charge."
Speaking of this, Brian finally understood what was going on:
"Boss, I know what you mean. You want Greg to be the CEO of Monterrena."
"Yes, I have this plan."
"Don't worry, I will be his deputy and cooperate with him in the winery work."
"It would be great that you could think so."
"Also, boss, can I ask?"
"You ask."
"Do you Chinese people talk so much?"
Xiao Yifei was stunned.
"Boss, can you just click it next time? I almost can't understand what you said."
Xiao Yifei was amused and crying. It is indeed a troublesome thing to have too many cultural differences.
After dealing with these two, he planned to notify the main owner.
Xiao Yifei came to the public tasting room upstairs. It turned out that there were more than a dozen tourists and two waiters at the bar at the public tasting room. Now there are only two or three tourists and one waiter.
