This time, Gu Ming didn't object. He really liked that winery.
The winery was an antique building. It was very cool to sit under the grape trellis in the yard in midsummer. It was very comfortable to taste red wine and eat snacks.
In addition, the winery was Gu Zheng's, which was also a kind of pride for him. Every time he was in the winery, Gu Ming had an inexplicable sense of satisfaction.
After staying at home for a night, Gu Ming asked Gu Zheng to make a delicious meal.
This time, Gu Ming was even more emotional. The things that Gu Zheng did were really much better than his. It was no wonder that everyone in the country said that Gu Zheng was the number one with the highest gold content. No one had ever done it before, and no one would be able to do it in the future. He didn't know if it would happen, but at least for now, he couldn't see anyone surpassing Gu Zheng.
This made him feel melancholy and emotional. He knew that Gu Zheng had a talent in cooking, but he never thought that Gu Zheng would become so powerful. He was much more powerful than he had imagined.
The next day, Gu Ming didn't go to work. He drove Gu Zheng directly to the winery.
The winery was located in the Bordeaux region of France, which was also a famous grape production area in France. Several famous wineries were here, such as the well-known Chateau Lafite.
Although Gu Zheng's winery couldn't be compared with a famous winery like Chateau Lafite, it was also a winery with a very long history. It had hopes of being promoted to a third-grade winery in the next few years. It could be regarded as the best among the fourth-grade wineries in the Bordeaux region.
Gu Ming was familiar with the road, and soon they arrived at the gate of the winery.
The winery had an antique building with a total of three floors. The first floor was a very large hall, and behind the building was a warehouse and workshop. In addition, there was a very large wine cellar in the basement of the building. Usually, a lot of the red wine produced would be stored there.
In the cellar, there were many treasures over the years. At that time, Guterrand didn't dare to play tricks and didn't take away all the treasures because the winery lost to Sir Brown at that time, and Sir Brown knew what he had here. If he secretly took away some of the treasures, Sir Brown would find out.
At that time, he didn't dare to continue to offend Sir Brown, so he left everything here. He didn't expect that the winery would be given to Gu Zheng in the end, and Guterrand regretted it for a while.
"Boss, you are here!"
When they entered the winery, a white man in a suit quickly came up to them. The man was probably less than forty years old. He looked very young and was neatly dressed.
"Kate, I'm not the real boss. This is. Let me introduce you to my son, Gu Zheng, the real owner of this winery!"
Gu Ming smiled at the Caucasian man. He had introduced him to Gu Zheng on the way here.
This was a professional manager hired by Gu Ming. He had rich experience in managing wineries. Previously, he worked as a sales manager in a fourth-grade winery. Although he was only a sales manager, he had worked in wineries for more than ten years and was very experienced.
Gu Ming could not manage this place every day, so he asked his friend for help. His friend introduced him to Kite. After the interview, Gu Ming had a good impression of Kite, so he hired him.
It turned out that Kite was indeed very talented. The winery had been thriving under his management for more than two years. Every year, the winery had a good profit. Gu Ming had also saved the money for Gu Zheng.
"Hello, Boss!"
Kite immediately saluted to Gu Zheng. At the same time, he looked at the new boss curiously.
He had been promoted from a sales manager to the person in charge of a winery. For him, it was also a promotion in his career. He was very satisfied with this job.
After the interview, Gu Ming had told him that Gu Ming was not the real owner. The real owner was his son. He was only managing the winery on behalf of Gu Ming. Kite did not care about this. Whether it was in China or the West, the father's business was managed by the son, and the son's business was managed by the father. After all, they were a family.
In fact, the concept of bloodline in Europe was deeper. Although they always talked about fairness and openness, the real aristocrats all maintained the tradition of noble bloodlines.
For example, the heir of the royal family must have a pure royal bloodline. Many big families in Europe basically did not marry outsiders. If there were children who married outsiders, they would be directly expelled from the family.
They did this to ensure the purity of their bloodline.
Therefore, Kite did not care about who the real owner of the winery was. He was just curious about Gu Zheng.
He was very clear about the value of this winery. He also knew that there was a dispute about this winery. Gu Zheng had not come to sign the contract. Without signing the contract, he did not have the real ownership of this winery. Therefore, the original owner, Guteran, had some ideas.
"Hello, Kite. My father has told me about your work ability. I will continue to rely on you in the future!"
Gu Zheng reached out his hand and shook hands with Kite. Gu Zheng was never stingy to people who could help him. Gao Changhe and the store manager of Gu Ji Chicken Blood Soup were the same, and so was Kite.
Although he would not give the shares to Kite, at least he would give him the opportunity to earn more money than other places.
"Thank you for your trust, Boss!"
Kite was a little relieved. Although Gu Zheng had promised him before, he was still a little worried. Now, with Gu Zheng's promise, this job was completely stable for him.
"Boss, now that you are back, we have to go through the necessary procedures. We can't delay it any longer!"
Compared to Guteran, Kite certainly hoped that Gu Zheng would own this winery. If Guteran really returned to the winery, he would definitely have to find a new job. Guteran would not keep a former boss like him.
It was just like when Guteran gave the winery to Gu Zheng, the original manager directly resigned and left.
"Okay, I will go through all the procedures this time!"
Gu Zheng nodded with a smile. He came here for this purpose. After the ownership of the winery was done, he would secretly write a document. If he disappeared for ten years, the winery would be inherited by Gu Ming. In this way, even if he really went to the Untainted Land, this winery would not be coveted by others.
All the procedures had been done long ago. In fact, they were just waiting for Gu Zheng to come. This time, Kite drove them to the City Hall together.
To take over the winery, Gu Zheng first had to go to the City Hall to sign a document. After that, he had to report to the Winery Association. Then, the ownership would be completely fixed.
Before this, Guteran had already transferred all the rights to Brown, and Brown had transferred them to Gu Zheng. All these had been reported. Only the last step, Gu Zheng had not been done.
Because Gu Zheng had not done this step, now the ownership of the winery was vague. Gu Ming was only temporarily taking over everything in the name of Gu Zheng.
The City Hall was not far away. It was not like the Administrative Service Hall in China, which was always crowded and busy.
When Gu Zheng and the other two arrived, there were not many people here.
"You want to take over Guteran Winery?"
Kite took out all the procedures. The people in the City Hall frowned and looked up at them again.
"Yes, this is my boss, Mr. Gu Zheng. He was not able to come in time because of other things. Now he is here to make up the procedures!"
Kite said politely. He was French, so it was easier for him to communicate with him.
"But the winery has been canceled by Mr. Brown. Your contract is invalid!"
The staff member of the City Hall checked carefully and finally raised his head to say something. Hearing his words, Kite and Gu Ming were stunned, while Gu Zheng frowned.
The winery was given to Brown by Guteran, and then Brown gave it to him. At that time, as long as he signed the contract, the winery would belong to him completely.
However, Gu Zheng had returned to China because of the Kongkong Sect treasure. After that, he was not able to go through the handover procedures because of other things. He did not expect that Brown would cancel the contract in advance this time.
After Brown canceled the contract, the ownership of the winery returned to Brown, and no longer belonged to Gu Zheng.
"How did this happen? Have you checked clearly?"
Kite asked anxiously. He valued this job very much. As long as he worked hard, this winery would be promoted to a third-grade winery in a few years. This meant that he would have the qualifications to upgrade the winery.
With such qualifications, it would be easier for him to find a suitable job in a third-grade or fourth-grade winery. He could even work in a second-grade winery. In the future, it was not impossible for him to work in a first-grade winery, or even be in charge of a first-grade winery.
Being in charge of a first-grade winery was Kite's biggest dream.
"Yes, Mr. Brown canceled the contract yesterday. I think you will receive the notice soon!"
The staff confirmed again. Gu Ming and Kite's hearts sank.
"But he is not in accordance with the legal procedures. The ownership of this winery is in the hands of my boss, Gu Zheng. This is something that has been confirmed before!"
Kite emphasized again. The staff shrugged and said softly, "You have to ask the judge about this. Or, you can ask Mr. Brown first!"
Brown had canceled the transfer of the winery. Now, even if Gu Zheng signed it, it would be useless. However, the two of them had an agreement. Brown was certain that he would transfer the winery to Gu Zheng. With this agreement, Gu Zheng would be able to win the lawsuit. However, it would be troublesome.
The most important thing was that if Brown gave the winery to Guterang, even if Gu Zheng won the lawsuit, the possibility of getting the winery back was very low. At most, he would only get the money back.
Whether it was Gu Ming or Carter, they both wanted the winery, not the money. Gu Zheng also wanted the winery. Even if he got the money, it would be his loss.
"Let's go back first!"
Gu Zheng said lightly. Since the problem was with Brown, he could only go to Brown. For Gu Zheng, as long as he wanted, even if Brown really gave the winery to Guterang, he could get it back.
But he didn't want to do that. It would be best if they could solve it peacefully. If they couldn't, it would be bad news for both Brown and Guterang if Gu Zheng used his strength.
The last time he came to Europe, Gu Zheng was still at the late stage of Level Five. When he met cultivators, he needed special protection. Now he had reached the early stage of Void Return and had the strength to fight against those at the late stage of Void Return. He was equal to one of the most powerful people on Earth.
Now he had the strength to do whatever he wanted in Europe. As long as he didn't provoke the anger of the people in Europe, it wouldn't be a problem for the two powerful people in Europe to hunt him down.
A winery, a winery that belonged to him, couldn't attract such attention.
"Boss, you need to talk to Sir Brown!"
Out of the door, Carter said hurriedly. In fact, Gu Zheng would go to Sir Brown even if he didn't remind him.
This was equivalent to Sir Brown going back on his words and taking his things. Gu Zheng couldn't give up on this matter without asking.
"Don't worry, I'll go now. You and my father go back first!"
Gu Zheng nodded with a smile. Carter frowned and still had a worried look on his face.
One day, just one day later. He could only sigh in his heart. His boss was too careless. He didn't take over such a valuable winery for more than two years. In the end, there was a problem, which was also the problem he was most worried about.
"If there's anything, tell me later. This is not China. Some things need to be done skillfully!"
Gu Ming also said to Gu Zheng with some worry. France was not China. It was a society ruled by law. Gu Ming was worried that Gu Zheng would do something impulsive in anger.
"Dad, are you still worried about me? It's okay!"
Gu Zheng smiled and shook his head. He'd better not be impulsive. Otherwise, the unlucky ones would be Brown and the others. No one in the world could bear the consequences of his impulsiveness, let alone Europe.
Gu Zheng refused Gu Ming's suggestion to send him by car. He said that he would take the high-speed rail directly and asked Gu Ming to go back to the winery and wait for him.
As soon as Gu Ming and Carter left, Gu Zheng flew into the sky. For him, the high-speed rail was much faster than flying. This way, he could solve this problem faster.
Sir Brown had many properties in Europe. There were also castles in England. However, he usually lived in Belgium, not France or England.
He had shares in a port in Belgium. In addition, he had a very good manor in Belgium.
Gu Zheng flew all the way. Soon, he arrived in Belgium and arrived in the sky above Sir Brown's manor. Through investigation, Gu Zheng had confirmed that Brown was here.
Not only was he here, but there was also another person here. Guterrand was also here.
"Brown, thank you very much!"
The two of them had just signed a document. It was a document for the transfer of the winery. After Gutelang's continuous efforts and the fact that Guzheng had not shown up, Brown finally decided to break the contract and cancel the transfer of Guzheng's winery. He took back the winery and sold it to Gutelang at a high price.
No matter what, he and Guterrand were European aristocrats. Gu Zheng was just a chef, and a chef from Huaxia.
In Brown's opinion, he had waited for Gu Zheng for two years. Moreover, Gu Zheng had stood him up. He had done his best.
One more thing, he didn't plan to give Gu Zheng any compensation. Even if Gu Zheng went to court, he wouldn't be afraid. Europe was his home ground. He was confident that this lawsuit would last for eight to ten years. After eight to ten years, the result of the lawsuit would be uncertain.
"Mr. Brown, you really let me down!"
When the two were raising their wine glasses, a voice suddenly sounded. Brown and Guterrand stood up abruptly and looked around in horror.
