It's not that Barthes Winery has no employees, but after Zhao An accepted it, all of them were given a holiday.
The reason given is that he does not need to come back until he is not integrated.
Zhao An obviously had special intentions in buying this winery.
Otherwise, there are so many people under his command, why do he have to go to Bordeaux himself to buy a little-known small winery in such a corner...
Because there is a wooden box buried under the phoenix tree right in front of you, and what is contained in it is the Si snake in the bronze animal heads of the twelve zodiac signs in the Yuanmingyuan.
Perhaps the ancestors of the owner of the winery participated in that war and plundered the animal head from China, or obtained it through other means.
Later, for other reasons, it was buried under this plane tree,
But his descendants don't know, otherwise, if this animal head alone is put up for auction, the price can buy more than a dozen wineries like this.
And it is precisely because it is buried underground, in such a small space, Zhao An was worried that he would eat dirt if he teleported in, so he came up with this compromise method.
As for the bought winery, let’s talk about where to put it first...
The box was buried very deep, about 1.7 meters by [-] meters, but Tariq was very motivated, and within an hour, he dug to the position of the wooden box.
"Break from the edge, don't hurt the things inside!" Zhao An said.
After all, it is the most important treasure of the country, and it is not good to be injured there...
Tariq carefully shoveled towards the edge of the wooden box. This wooden box had been decayed for many years. With a light force of the shovel, the box opened in response.The bronze animal head inside was exposed.
"It's a baby!" Tariq held up the snake head in surprise, looked at it, and threw it to Zhao An.
Zhao An lightly caught it and said, "Come on, and fill in the hole by the way."
I took a bottle of red wine from the wine cellar, and while drinking the red wine, I watched the bronze beast head of the snake,
After one sip, I think it's quite delicious...
There are eight famous wineries in France, but each one is different in terms of the characteristics and connotation of the wine.
Chateau Lafite is elegant and timeless, Chateau Latour is vigorous and vigorous, and Aubicane is romantic and poetic.
Château Margaux is elegant and vigorous, Château Petrus is known as the gold in wine, and Château Wudang is an artistic interpretation.
Cheval Blanc is simple temptation, Ausson is poetry in wine.
It sounds like a bluff, right? But to be honest, that’s all there is to it. It’s all over if you buy wine...
The wine of Barthes Winery may not be as good as those of these eight famous wineries, but Zhao An feels that it suits his taste very much.
It's so amazing, it seems that someone needs to take care of this winery, Zhao An thought to himself.
When Tariq came back after filling the pit, Zhao An said, "Let Anna come over, I want to see her appear in the winery before dark!"
It took Anna 4 hours to come here by high-speed train, and it was only after four o'clock in the afternoon when she arrived at the winery. As soon as Zhao An met, she asked, "Do you like to drink?"
It’s better not to ask this question. Asking a Russian whether he drinks alcohol is like asking a Hunanese whether he eats chili...
The answer is yes.
Anna whispered, "I can drink a little."
Zhao An nodded and said, "Then this winery will be handed over to you for the time being. I like the red wine in it very much. I'll give you the address later, and you can transport some to me."
Although Anna is Russian, she has worked as a model in Paris for several years and knows both French and English. The key is that she is worthy of Zhao An's trust, so she is the best management candidate for this winery.
And when Tariq's organization expands to France in the future, this place can be used as their stronghold.
Anna continued to ask in a low voice: "Then, can I have a drink?"
Zhao An laughed and said: "Not only do you have to drink, but you will also be responsible for selling wine in the future. 20.00% of the profit from selling wine is your salary.
As for how to sell, I don't care so much about you! "
Anna patted her chest and assured, "Don't worry, my lord, this shouldn't be too simple for me."
At this time, Anna regained the youth and vitality of a young girl. She is actually a person who likes to be quiet.
In the past few years, only in the small courtyard in Rio, and in this peaceful small winery, she has only felt the peace that belongs to her.
Zhao An and the others lived in Barthes Winery that night. The next morning, Zhao An handed over the power of the winery to Anna in front of the winery employees, and Anna also said on the spot that all employees would be given a 5.00% salary increase. .
There are three fires for a new official to take office, and it is the simplest and rudest way to win over old employees when they are newcomers.
Zhao An took Tariq with him and headed for Lyon.
Lyon is an important industrial city in France, and the rooster, one of the animal heads of the Chinese zodiac, is located in this city.
Tariq took Zhao An around the city of Lyon, and Zhao An brought back the beast head.
Put down the counterfeit and take the real one away. By the way, I left a few real eyes in several research institutes in Lyon, so that they can reproduce their research materials in the future.
Then Zhao An waved his sleeves and returned to Paris.
As usual, he handed over the animal head to Tariq for safekeeping, and asked him to arrange a trip to Switzerland by the way, so Zhao An went back to the hotel to rest.
The last animal head of the zodiac is not in France, but in Switzerland next to France.
It is estimated that it was bought privately by a guy who likes to collect, and stored in the Swiss bank's vault.
Of course, it is also possible that the mortgage is there...
Speaking of the Bank of Zurich's vault, Zhao An remembered the movie plot in "The Bourne", where Jason Bourne took out a large amount of cash from the Bank of Zurich's vault with only a fingerprint and a password and a gun.
However, in fact, the vault of the Bank of Zurich is much tighter.
When the two world wars broke out, Switzerland built many underground military bunkers.
These underground shelters are far away from the ground, and even a nuclear explosion will not cause any problems.
Some of these refuges later became Swiss vaults.
Moreover, the privacy measures of Swiss banks are very good. You will never know who has deposited how much money and which items are deposited there.
But it happened to meet Zhao An this time.
Zhao An now has the ability to teleport and flash, not to mention that the vault is 100 meters underground, even if it is 1000 meters, it is not a big problem.
Chapter 416 Return · Final
In the underground vault of the Bank of Zurich, in addition to countless gold ingots, there are also safes lined up one by one, which need to be retrieved by yourself.
Of course, it's not like in the movies that only rely on keys and passwords to get things, and don't ask who is coming.
When renting a safe, you must first register your personal information, and you must check the information when you open the box.
The safes in the past basically used keys, one for the bank and one for yourself. Only when the two keys are combined can the safe be opened, and the shortest storage period is 50 years.
After entering the new century, the insurance function of the safe is more perfect, and it is necessary to enter the password.
But fortunately, the ones that were stored before, are still the old way...you can open them with a key.
This is not difficult for Zhao An. According to the structure of the safe lock cylinder observed by real eyes,
Then I drew a blueprint of the key myself, and made the complete key according to the blueprint.
He had done this kind of thing in the Han family back then, as long as it was an old-fashioned mechanical safe,
For him, there is no need to combine two keys into one...
And Tariq was a master thief when he was with Henderson before.
With the blueprints available, make an old-fashioned key...not too easy.
Although the TGV high-speed rail in France is not as good as domestic ones, it is quite convenient... There are many trains from Paris Lyon Train Station to Geneva, Lausanne, Bern and Zurich in Switzerland every day.
Zhao An took Tariq to take the high-speed train and got off at Zurich Station, and then asked Tariq to prepare the vehicle,
I walked into the headquarters of UBS Group on Bahnhofstrasse in Zurich alone.
The UBS headquarters building is not conspicuous, but its basement, which is also the safe depository, is where the last bronze animal head is stored.
When Zhao An was in school, he watched Hong Kong-style movies,
I often heard the dialogue inside say: This is a Swiss bank promissory note, something like that.
It sounds very tall, and now that I have come to Switzerland, I don't want to go to the bank here.
I'm also sorry for my status as a billionaire!
Entering the door is a wide hall, the decoration inside is very European-style classical charm, the person who received Zhao An was a polite middle-aged white man,
After confirming the language, he said calmly in English: "My name is Boloni, welcome to come. Is there anything I can do for you?"
Zhao An showed his Citigroup black card, Boloni's eyes lit up, his smile became more sincere and he said, "We can enter the VIP room to discuss in detail!"
After entering the VIP room and taking a seat, a beautiful lady offered Zhao An a cup of hot coffee,
Boloni said: "The core services of our bank are asset management, investment guarantee, scientific research and commercial retail services...
Union Bank of Switzerland links the innovation of service content, global broad development and economic stability,
Strive to achieve quality service for you. "
Zhao An smiled and said, "I'll save some money!"
Swiss Bank is known as the safest bank in the world, and Zhao An has so much cash on him... where to save it is not to save it.
Boloni quickly opened a UBS account for Zhao An, and Zhao An deposited 1000 billion yuan in it. The huge amount immediately shocked Boloni.
It is not that he has never seen a rich man, but it is the first time he has seen a one-time deposit of 1000 billion yuan.
After Boloni was in a daze, he quickly adjusted his facial expressions, and said with a bright smile: "Mr. Zhao is really powerful. It is very wise for you to choose UBS. Do you have any other needs?"
Zhao An still smiled and said: "That's enough, my purpose is very simple, I just want to save some money!"
Boloni said in disbelief: "Please forgive my gaffe, but I still have to say that UBS is the largest wealth management institution with the widest layout and the most complete industrial chain in the world today, so... "
Zhao An frowned and said, "So what?"
"So it's a pity that Mr. Zhao's so many cash assets are not used for investment..."
Boloni said with a look of regret.
Zhao An was unmoved and said: "There is nothing to regret, your investment suggestion may be good.
However, I hold a conservative attitude towards the uncertainty of asset management regulatory policies. "
"No no no,"
Boloni explained: "Mr. Zhao may have misunderstood something. UBS has 150 years of experience in wealth management.
Mature wealth management is an advanced form of financial development, which puts forward higher requirements on funds, systems and markets.
And our team has the most professional service ability in the world,
Including investment management, wealth planning, one-on-one communication and other services...
So you can rest assured. "
"It's very good, I'm a little bit moved, let's do this first, and I will let you know if I need it later."
Zhao An took a sip of coffee, stood up and said, "The coffee is good... I'll try it next time I have a chance."
Boloni personally sent Zhao An to the gate, and Zhao An boarded the car that Tariq got.
After driving to a remote corner, Zhao An directly flashed into the empty underground safe, opened the drawer of the safe with a self-made key, and then gently completed the act of stealing.
Re-lock the safe, and return to Tarek's car with the authentic bronze dog head.
"go!"
There are many treasures in the underground vault of UBS, but Zhao An didn't make any troubles. After getting the bronze animal head, he left the scene without delay.
Back in Paris, Zhao An negotiated with Tariq: "Pack all my things for me, and then use your channel to deliver them safely to Huaxia. Is there a problem?"
"No problem, my lord!"
Tariq grinned.
Zhao An nodded, and said: "This matter is done, you can go back to Rio...continue the tasks I assigned to you, spread the organization in an all-round way, and report to me if there is anything missing.
In terms of money, I have never been stingy! "
After returning to the hotel to pack up his things, Zhao An asked the hotel's luxury car service to take him to the airport, and then met Anna at the airport.
She was here to deliver red wine, and the red wine from Balter Winery was very suitable for Zhao An's taste, and it happened to be transported back by air with Zhiyuan.
After sending the red wine to the plane, Zhao An encouraged Anna a few more words, then boarded the Zhiyuan, and embarked on the journey back home.
