When the convoy entered the Sauternes area, the outline of the ancient castle of Dijin Winery located above the hills naturally came into view.

This is the middle of winter in the Bordeaux region, but this place has a typical temperate marine climate, so it is impossible to see the snow or the frozen scene that should have been frozen in the midwinter climate.

Fu Zhengyi was strange but didn't think too much about Delfina's personal convoy to the airport to greet her and also took on the position of driver. He felt that if there was really something, she would definitely say it out.

There is no trace of green in the vineyards on both sides of the road. All the vines have been pruned, leaving only the bare trunk.

The convoy drove into the inner courtyard of the winery. The old man in traditional French costume took off his hat and gave a gift. With a faint anger, he introduced that he was the current general manager of the winery, Earl Alexander.

He was led into the room by the maid. Fu Zhengyi summoned Delfina in and asked. "Why do I think this old man is very unfriendly? Do you know the reason?"

"Fu, I need to let you know some things..."

Opening the south-facing window and taking a deep breath of the air that is not cold but extremely fresh from Zurich, Fu Zhengyi then signaled Delphina to sit down and say slowly.

"Fu, I need to confess to you and ask for your forgiveness! Dijin Winery was actually acquired by my father three years ago. In order to maintain the position of winery manager and maintain the existing brewing method, Earl Alexander also fought with my father for more than two years. In the end, the Earl received support from the court, so the winery still needs to brew Igan Guifu wine in the traditional way of the Earl family..."

Following Delfina's statement, Fu Zhengyi realized that Guo Jianmin from London Fund Company was severely cheated by LV's big boss Bernard.

Three years ago, Bernard quietly bought more than half of the shares of Dijin Winery from the descendants of the Earl family. However, this financial wizard did not immediately make a statement. Instead, he wanted to drive away Count Alexander, who inherited Dijin Winery more than 30 years ago, in the form of "indirect holdings", so as to enable his expansion plan to be implemented.

Bernard hopes to change the way the winery is brewed to increase the output as much as possible, and also wants to increase the market price of Igan Guifu wine, better control sales channels to make more profits, and ultimately turn Igan Guifu wine into a luxury product among sweet white wines.

As a result, Bernard's plan attracted strong opposition from Count Alexander. This stubborn and extremely stubborn old man had to accept the failure through two years of court struggle.

Seeing Fu Zhengyi take out the cigarette, Delfina quickly took out the aloud lighter to light it for him, and then continued apologetically. "Fu, my father only spent 100 million US dollars to become the major shareholder of Dijin Winery. He transferred the shares he held to you for $460 million without hiding me, and cleverly concealed the series of oral agreements he signed with Count Alexander! I only learned about this after the equity delivery was completed and the relevant agreements began to take effect. I am very sorry..."

"That means that the 100 million dollars your father invested made more than 300 million dollars in just three years, and left me with a lot of secret agreements with Count Alexander?"

I have been observing his expression carefully, but Delfina could not judge his happiness and anger, so I had to tell the truth. "It's not a secret agreement. It is actually a good thing for the winery to continue to maintain the traditional way of the Count Alexander family to manage and operate. If the manager appointed by my father is really allowed to become the general manager of the winery, the quality of the Dijin winery will definitely decline..."

"Does that mean that even if I become the major shareholder of Dijin Winery, I still cannot increase the production of Yigan Guifu wine without authorization, change the original brewing method, or even interfere with the operation of the winery?"

"It is not that you cannot interfere with the operation of the winery, but that as the major shareholder of Dijin Winery, you cannot change the brewing tradition of Yigan Guifu wine without authorization. However, you have the pricing rights and market operation rights of Yigan Guifu wine. In five years, you can decide whether to cancel the existing dealer qualifications and other powers..."

Basically, he understood that although Fu Zhengyi did not show it on his face, he knew that he was in a bad mood.

It’s not that Delfina’s father cheated more than 300 million US dollars, but that he felt that Dijin Winery seemed to be becoming a trouble for him, so he continued to ask after thinking for a moment. “So how much rights can I enjoy in this winery?”

"You own 85% of the winery, and Earl Alexander only owns 15% of the winery's area. He moved to the northwest corner of the winery three months ago and gave out all the remaining space..."

"No wonder the old man looked unlucky when he met just now. It turned out that the root cause was here..."

Hearing the laughter of little Chloe from outside the window, Fu Zhengyi put out the cigarette butt in the ashtray and turned his eyes out of the window.

Chloe was running around the sculpture fountain in the inner courtyard. Sophia, sitting in a wheelchair, looked at her daughter smiling. Camilla snuggled in Batisian's arms, with a calm expression. She noticed the gaze here and waved to the side, as if signaling him to go over.

"Delfina, your father became the major shareholder of Dijin Winery three years ago. It was obviously to give this winery to you as a gift. However, he was obviously a little dissatisfied with the acquisition, so Guo Jianmin became the guy who jumped into the trap by himself," said Fu Zhengyi, seeing that she seemed to feel more guilty, he smiled and continued. "But in Shangyan, the price offered by your father is not outrageous, so except that the oral agreement between him and Count Alexander was not made public, your father is also blameless. So before I communicate with Count Alexander, I can't complain, are you right?"

Delfina was stunned.
