The next day.
At seven o'clock in the morning, Zhang Jing drove his pickup truck and parked it downstairs at Ding Jiaqi's apartment.
Sitting in the back row, Ding Jiaqi asked with a smile, "Did anything happen to you last night?"
Qu Xiaoqing was also sitting in the back row, raising his left hand high and sternly promising Ding Jiaqi, "I swear, there is nothing!"
"Haha~" Ding Jiaqi sneered.
Zhang Jing started the car, but couldn't laugh out loud, and reminded Qu Xiaoqing, "Your phone kept ringing last night, and I answered it for you."
"!!!"
Qu Xiaoqing suddenly looked at Zhang Jing.
Ding Jiaqi was also stunned.
"I didn't mean to do it," Zhang Jing explained. "The note on the phone was that it was dad. I was worried that your dad was in a hurry at home. Unexpectedly, the other party cursed, so I hung up."
"You killed me!"
Qu Xiaoqing grabbed the phone and quickly called back, but was already blocked.
"What did I do wrong?" Zhang Jing asked Ding Jiaqi doubtfully.
"That's her boyfriend."
Zhang Jing: "..."
The pickup truck started from the city and headed east, first passing the 520 Bridge, and then passing through the city of Yisego.
An hour later, we arrived at a small place called Whitefish Town.
“According to online information, Baiyu Town has only a permanent population of more than two hundred people, and the terrain is like a valley with a river passing through it;
The Rose Winery is located seven kilometers northeast of the town, where there is abundant sunshine and sufficient water, which is very suitable for grape growth. "
"What a bias!" Qu Xiaoqing spoke with emotion, looking very angry.
Zhang Jing didn't realize that it was only fifty kilometers. If you didn't gamble on the road, one hour would be enough.
Pass through the streets of the town and drive along the gravel road beside the rushing river for seven kilometers to reach the target location.
The three of them thought they would arrive early, but they didn't expect that there was already a group of people outside the winery, including reporters from two TV stations.
Parking the car on the side of the road, Zhang Jing just got out of the car and heard a middle-aged Caucasian man with reddish skin complaining, "There are a lot of white mosquitoes, which is a bit troublesome."
"I also found white mosquitoes behind the winery. There may be more inside the winery." Another buyer complained.
Zhang Jing wondered, what does white mosquito have to do with it?
Just buy a few pangolins. I just had this idea, but later I realized that there is a ghost pangolin in North America.
"Hey, Zhang Jing, what a coincidence."
A fat young man came forward to say hello.
Zhang Jing remembered the other person, whom he met at the door of the Citizen Consulate in Shanghai. He had the same name as the ancient emperor.
"Hello Kangxi, long time no see."
Seeing that Ding Jiaqi and Zhang Jing were close to each other, they greeted each other and asked, "Is this your girlfriend?"
"Female friends," Zhang Jing introduced, "Ding Jiaqi, Qu Xiaoqing, Kangxi."
After a brief greeting, Kangxi asked, "Are you here to participate in the auction too?"
Zhang Jing nodded.
Kangxi complained, "I came here at six o'clock in the morning and walked around the winery. It looks beautiful from the outside, but the actual situation may be that it is ruined inside. Not only are there many white mosquitoes, but there are also a lot of red ants."
"You mean the bank's quote of six million is too expensive?" Zhang Jing asked.
"Six million is okay. If the bidding exceeds seven million, I will consider whether it is worth it. It is too far from the city."
Zhang Jing glanced over a group of buyers, "It looks like the competition will be fierce?"
"Most of them come here with the mentality of picking up missing items," Kangxi said. "There are no more than five real buyers."
"Are you a real buyer?" Ding Jiaqi asked Kangxi.
"I also picked it up," Kangxi said bluntly, "I will only make the move if there is a price difference, otherwise there will be nothing to gain."
"Do you make this your career?" Zhang Jing asked.
Kangxi nodded, "Buy when you find something missing, renovate it, and sell it to make the difference."
"Sounds like a lot of money."
"Just enough to live on," Kangxi asked Zhang Jing, "Why did you buy this winery?"
"enjoy life."
Kangxi raised his thumb at Zhang Jing and said, "Good vision. The winery is next to a stream in the south and against a mountain in the north. The east and west neighbors are far apart so they don't disturb each other."
Half an hour later, the auctioneer entrusted by the bank arrived to register for the auction. It was a deposit of 1,000 yuan, simple and crude.
The auction starts at nine o'clock and is held on the stone bridge at the entrance of the winery.
Half of the stone bridge belongs to the winery and half to the public. The bank has placed obstacles in the middle of the bridge in advance so that vehicles and people cannot pass.
The host, a short, fat white man, shouted: "The starting price is 6 million yuan, and the price will not be lower than 2,000 yuan each time. Start bidding now."
Money is not easy for anyone, the first bid will be increased by 2,000.
Also add 2000 to the second one.
After twenty rounds, the price increased to 6.04 million.
It's obvious that people are very conservative when taking photos.
Kangxi couldn't stand this kind of addition, raised his hand and shouted to the host, "6.2 million."
Everyone looked at Kangxi with expressions like looking at rare animals. The normal auction method is: add little by little, make the opponent suffer psychologically, and eliminate the competitors little by little.
Kangxi made others feel that he was not short of money.
"+2000" is an increase for a thin old white man in his seventies.
Zhang Jing followed up by adding 2,000 to show everyone that he was also a bidder and not just a bidder.
Many +2000, the price increased to 6.7 million after an hour.
This time Kangxi added another 200,000 yuan, bringing the total price to 6.9 million, which looked unstoppable.
But Zhang Jing knows that 7 million is a hurdle, as stable as a rock in the river + 2000.
The old white man in his seventies appeared calm and followed +2000.
Kangxi temporarily gave up the price increase, and others also gave up. Now only Zhang Jing and the skinny old man were left to compete.
Zhang Jing+2000.
Don't call out the price later, just raise your hand directly to the host, and the lowest price will be added by default.
The host is professional, speaking as fast as shooting bullets, and moving his eyes back and forth between Zhang Jing and the thin old man.
The price soon reached 7 million. Kangxi seemed to be causing trouble. Suddenly he shouted with overwhelming momentum: "7.1 million!"
"+2000" Zhang Jing didn't give him any face.
The old white man followed +2000, still looking firm, like an old tree with its roots, stable!
"Brother Zhang," Ding Jia pulled the corner of Zhang Jing's clothes and reminded him softly, "They are already at the end of their strength."
Zhang Jing thought to himself, 'Me too'.
If you don't feel calm and don't look timid, you raise your hand and add 2,000.
Kangxi instantly felt like a deflated rubber ball and spread his hands to show that he was giving up.
The thin old white man looked at Zhang Jing with a complicated expression and shook his head to give up.
In the end, Zhang Jing paid 7.106 million yuan for the 600-acre winery.
"congratulations."
The short, fat white auctioneer held out his hand, and Zhang Jing stretched out his hand to shake it.
"After the sale is over, you are responsible for the profits and losses. You need to pay the full price now or apply for a loan before you can enter the winery."
You are temporarily unable to enter the winery, and you will have to pay the full amount to the bank in the next six days, go through the purchase and sale procedures, and finally get an A4 paper with the official seal of the Yamen, similar to a property ownership certificate.
('Yamen' means public, and those words, including the letters, are all forbidden words. Understand.)
First thing.
He called Barbie and asked her to meet at a steak restaurant near the west gate of the Technical College. Zhang Jing had packed four steaks and two bottles of red wine from here before.
Zhang Jing arrived first, and Barbie arrived on time.
The woman is wearing high heels, carrying a white bag, and wearing a beige suit and beige trousers, looking like a professional woman.
order.
It was better to go to the waitress and tell Zhang Jing to give girls more romance and not to rush to the hotel.
Ignoring the curious gaze of the waiter, I quickly completed my order, ordinary steak + ordinary red bottle.
Looking at Barbie, Zhang Jing went straight to the point, "The winery purchase and sale procedures have been completed. I need someone to help me run it. How is your job now?"
"I don't know how to run a winery." Barbie didn't refuse. "It might cause you heavy losses."
Zhang Jing spent five minutes describing Ding Jiaqi's method of "breaking the catkins inside".
