That's why Zhao An had to ask Tarek to participate, he was too lazy to do this.
Just throw the data at Tariq, and he will take care of it for you...
From Paris to Provence about 630 kilometers, Tarek spent 5 hours.
As soon as the car drove into Aix-en-Provence, Zhao An held the fake in one hand and teleported it directly to the treasure house in the Luboni manor.
The blockade of this basement is actually very tight, but there is no protection against the inside of the hidden treasure.
In a second, Zhao An completed the swap, and when he flashed back, he also took away two barrels of wine, both of which were of the winery's premium level.
Just take some interest...
Before even Tariq could react, Zhao An had flashed back, patted the wine barrel on the seat and said, "Turn around and go back, there's no need to go any further."
Tariq was slightly startled, but complied without hesitation.
He has seen Zhao An's miraculous methods once or twice, but the feeling is different each time.
Every time I think these magical methods are incredible.
On the way back, the two of them didn't communicate with each other until they were about to arrive in Paris.
Zhao Ancai patted the sheep's head and said: "I marked this one, this is the real one.
You find a safe place, store it for me, wait for me to collect it, and then smuggle it back to Huaxia together,
Well, wine barrels too! "
The twelve animal heads in Yuanmingyuan are precious because of their powerful functions.
The design back then was that the animal heads represented the 12 hours of the day. Whenever the hour came, the corresponding animal heads would spray water from the innermost part.
This design is very exquisite in this era, let alone the Qing Dynasty more than 300 years ago...
After one animal head sprays water, the next animal head sprays water means that a new hour begins,
At 12:[-] noon, all the animal heads will start spraying water at the same time. Needless to say, the scene is very spectacular.
But such a delicate thing was lost due to the war, and the twelve animal heads were also scattered to different places.
Over the years, with the efforts of the country, folk patriots have also made a lot of effort, and finally recovered 8, but there are still 4 living outside.
Now Zhao An wants to get it back in his own way.
As for whether the means are glorious or not, I don't care if I'm on a horse......
Now that the sheep are not in hand, all that is left are Si snake, You rooster, and Xu dog.
However, Zhao An has already locked the position, and in the next few days, watch Zhao An's repeated horizontal jumps with peace of mind.
Back in Paris, Zhao An didn't go back to the hotel immediately, but found a Chinese restaurant named Jinbaihe according to the address on the Internet.
The French food was too sweet, and he couldn't stand it.
This Golden Lily has been in Paris for more than 30 years. It goes without saying whether it is traditional or creative. The most attractive thing is their "artistic conception".
Someone once commented on this: "This store is full of exotic atmosphere and atmosphere, and you can feel the 'Zen' when tasting Asian specialties."
Zhao An's order was delivered soon, and it was really exquisite. The skin of the roast duck looked very crispy, and Zenghei sesame seeds were carefully sprinkled on the meatballs. Both the steamed dumplings and the crystal glue had their own special containers.. ....
Zhao An ordered a large table, of course not eating alone, the door of the box opened, and Anna, wearing a mask, floated in.
He greeted Zhao An with a smile, "My lord!"
She called Zhao An the same as Tariq.
Zhao An said lightly: "Sit down!"
Anna obediently sat down opposite Zhao An, with her hands intertwined under the table, her heart was actually very tangled.
She was originally hunted down by two major organizations and was seriously injured, but she was accidentally hit and rescued by Zhao An. Now she not only asked to be hunted down, but also successfully took revenge on her enemies and fulfilled her wish for the deceased family members.
But Anna didn't dare to underestimate Zhao An's mystery and strength, so she paid full attention and waited for Zhao An's instructions.
Zhao An said softly: "This should be the ceiling of a Chinese restaurant in Paris. I tasted it just now, and it's not much different from the domestic level in China. It fits my taste very well."
Um......
Anna was a little confused, you are such an awesome boss, you called me over just to treat me to a decent Chinese meal?
Are there no other excessive demands?
I'm about to take off my pants, so you tell me to do this?
But Zhao An said so, Anna still carefully picked up a ball, and gently put it into her mouth. The moment she entered the mouth, it had a crispy texture, and when the shell was bitten, it was tender and smooth, lingering on the tip of her tongue.
There are also some complex, very layered flavors mixed in.
After she finished eating, Zhao An asked lightly, "How do you feel?"
Anna wiped her mouth with a tissue, and whispered, "Well, it tastes delicious..."
Zhao An shook his head and said: "Huaxia's food sometimes carries some spiritual connotations,
Just like the meatballs you ate just now, they are called small crispy meatballs, with a crispy outer skin wrapped in a soft inner,
Even if the oil temperature of more than 200 degrees is fried repeatedly, it is not destroyed. "
As he spoke, he pointed to the two dumplings on the table and said, "These two are dumplings. Try it. What do they have in common?"
Anna did so, and then said with hesitation: "Their hearts are all fragile, soft?"
Zhao An nodded with a smile: "That's right, I have always believed that a person's heart is born with kindness.
Of course, those who are not kind will also go to hell. "
Anna has worked in the fashion circle in Paris for several years, but now she still doesn't understand what Zhao An means, she immediately got up and knelt down and said, "I, Anna Barnov, swear by my deceased father, I wish to serve you as the Lord in this life, Never deviate!"
The oath this time, with her father's name on it, is much more solemn than before.
Chapter 414 Return Part Three
Gaining a loyal subordinate again, Zhao An's face showed no joy or anger, because he didn't gain attention, which Zhao An did not expect.
Maybe it's impossible to get it again...
Zhao An said lightly: "After you go back, learn more from Tarek,
He has many advantages that you don't have, and then he keeps it secret for the organization,
I don't have any other requirements, you know what I mean! "
Anna's face was reddish, and she wanted to explain a few words, she is not Lala,
To be precise, she is a bisexual, the kind that kills both men and women, but Zhao An has said everything to death, so she simply doesn't explain, and will find a chance to prove that she is.
After Zhao An finished his meal, he switched his field of view to pay attention to the position of the sheep's head. Seeing that Tariq was hiding well, he went back to the hotel to rest in peace.
When I woke up the next morning, I still found a Chinese-flavored 'Mendun Noodle Restaurant' on the Internet to have breakfast, and then went to today's task with Tariq.
Yesterday, in the underground treasury of the Roubonne family in Provence, the bronze beast head of the twelve zodiac animals was recovered. Today, Zhao An plans to go to Bordeaux in the southwestern part of France to find the owner of the winery there.
Bordeaux is a magical place. Like many birthplaces of civilization at 37 degrees north latitude, Bordeaux is indeed very magical, or full of aura.
The great French writer Victor Hugo once said: "This is a strange city, original and perhaps unique,
Combine the two cities of Versailles and Antwerp and you get a Bordeaux. "
As the car drove on the streets of Bordeaux, Zhao An really felt the city's profound tranquility and its far away from glitz.
Tariq is obviously very familiar with this place, he took Zhao An around the city, and found a real estate agency specializing in vineyard and winery transactions.
The person responsible for picking up the two was a French woman in her thirties, with brown hair and blue eyes, exquisite facial features, and a hint of a mature woman in her smile.
And it's still Sophie Marceau's kind of green with a mature taste.
She introduced herself in English: "Sophia Gouldrez, just call me Sophia."
Zhao An made clear her intention to come, and Sophia launched her own professional publicity campaign: "Bordeaux has many chateaus with a long history of winemaking, and many vineyards that do not produce wine themselves.
The legal system here is complete and transparent, and the investment environment is superior. It has always been favored by investors from the United States, European countries, and Japan. "
Zhao An raised his eyebrows lightly: "What about the price?"
Sophia smiled and said: "Currently, the quotations of the vineyards in Bordeaux for sale are between 140 million and 188 million euros.
Most of these vineyards or wineries produce wines of Bordeaux Grand Regional or Super Bordeaux.
For wineries or vineyards producing Bordeaux regional wines, the current average selling price is 8 euros per hectare,
However, in some of the more famous sub-regions such as St. Julian's, the average price of vineyards is between 6 and 20 euros per hectare.
In Saint-Emilion, a well-known Right Bank region, the average price of such vineyards is between 15 and 100 million euros per hectare. "
After listening to Sophia's lengthy explanation, Zhao An became a little impatient, and said directly: "Okay, I probably understand the same. Is there any winery listed for sale in Bordeaux recently?"
Sophia took out a brochure, and then translated it carefully to Zhao An: "The transaction information collected by our exchange includes Astra Winery, Barthe Winery..."
Zhao An interrupted: "I'm very interested in this Balthe winery."
As an intermediary, Sophia has said so much, but she is not afraid that you are interested, but that you are not interested.
She introduced with a smile: "Balt Winery has a history of more than 160 years. The location of the winery is very good, covering an area of 18 hectares. The terrain, environment and transportation are very convenient, and the owner of this winery said that the price is right. If so, the procedures can be processed quickly.”
There was a smile on Zhao An's face: "Then this is it, can you take me to have a look?"
Sophia said happily: "As you wish!"
Then she made a phone call, and together with Zhao An, they drove to the gate of Battle Winery in the car driven by Tariq.
It was only when Zhao An arrived here that Zhao An discovered that the vineyards here were not like what we usually see in China. The vines were climbing on the vines that were taller than people.
Instead, they are wrapped around wooden stakes as tall as half a person. Rows of wooden stakes are square and neat, like soldiers lined up.
Get closer and you will also see some goat droppings buried under the trellis.
The owner of the winery is a young woman in her twenties. Sophia greeted her in French, and then introduced Zhao An.
The other party did not speak English, so Sophia acted as an interpreter.
The hostess of the winery welcomed them and took a few people into her wine cellar for a visit.
But Zhao An always felt that she was a little cold, so he just led the three of them along the way, saying a few words whenever he thought of them,
For example, which bottle of wine was brewed by her ancestors in which year, and it has become the treasure of the whole family until today. For example, which bottle of wine happened in the year when a meaningful event happened,
For example, the bottle she is holding now was brewed in the year she was born...
"Need to taste it?" the owner of the winery asked.
Zhao An shook his head and said, "I'm a straightforward person. I agree with the price you listed on Sofia's agency...
When can we trade? "
The owner of the winery was obviously a little surprised. Her listed price in the winery was 210 million euros.
This price was slightly higher than the average market price, but she obviously didn't expect that Zhao An would not even mention the price, so she decided to buy it directly.
The girl was a little stunned, but quickly returned to normal: "May I know what you bought this winery for?
This winery is handed down from my family, although they are no longer there, and I don’t know how to run a winery.
But I feel compelled to ask..."
If you sell the winery, sell the winery, the management is really wide!
Zhao An complained silently in his heart, but he still said patiently: "I like it, you may not know that my future wife and I both like red wine and red wine culture very much.
When we were in school, we always dreamed of owning a winery,
Now that we are planning to get married, I want to use this winery as the place where we get married and where we die..."
This is completely nonsense, but the French, who is romantic by nature, was immediately moved.
Moved by Zhao An's "sincerity and romance", the owner of the winery immediately signed the formalities for the transfer of the winery with Zhao An.
The hostess of the winery who received the payment moved out on the same day. The winery named Balter now belongs to Zhao An.
Zhao An led Tariq to the winery's manor, and Tariq was still carrying a shovel.
Walking under a sycamore tree, Zhao An ordered: "Dig it!"
