Chapter 5901 Super Level 1

readx();    French President Sarkozy agreed to Lin Feng's three requests. For him, these three points were not difficult.

Soon, President Sarkozy contacted Pope Francis. And Pope Francis also readily agreed to this invitation. In fact, when Lin Feng proposed the "high-speed waterway toll", he felt that he must make a trip.

After all, the Kingdom of Somalia is the first step for him to spread Christianity throughout Africa. If it fails, his personal reputation will also be damaged. Therefore, he must come to mediate.

After getting the affirmation of Pope Francis, President Sarkozy quickly secretly arranged a bilateral meeting at a winery in southern Bordeaux. In this way, Lin Feng's plane did not fly to Paris at all, but flew directly to Monaco. Then he drove directly to the south of Bordeaux. Although it was a little far, it was better in concealment.

Soon, the two parties arrived at a winery in the south of Bordeaux. In France, there are too many wineries, too many. Of course, there are five world-famous wineries: Chateau Lafite, Chateau Haut-Brion, Chateau Latour, Chateau Margaux, and Chateau Mouton.

For ordinary people, Chateau Lafite is naturally the most famous.

The 1982 Lafite has become a joke for countless people to show off. So is the 1982 Lafite good? It is good, of course. No one dares to say that the 1982 Lafite is not good. But these five wineries are just first-class wineries in France.

Yes, they are not the best wineries, they are just first-class. Among them, Chateau Mouton was upgraded from a second-class winery in 1973. And above the five first-class wineries, there is a super-first-class winery.

Château Lussalus is the only super-first-class winery in France and the world. The history of its establishment dates back to the 12th century, and it was rated as a super-first-class winery in the selection of Bordeaux's official classified wineries in 1885.

This time, the meeting was naturally held in the winery of the Chateau de Lusalus. It is located in the south of Bordeaux, on the left bank of the Garonne River, in a small place called Sauternes (fourth tone).

Sauternes consists of five small villages. It is not well-known in the world. But because of the existence of the super first-class winery, Chateau de Lusalus, it has become famous in the wine industry. And the real bottom-of-the-box wine of Chateau de Lusalus is - noble rot wine. This is one of the important reasons why Chateau de Lusalus can be listed as a super first-class winery in the world.

What is noble rot wine? Its origin is also a coincidence.

In 1847, Count Lusalus, the lord of Chateau de Lusalus, visited Russia. Before leaving, he instructed that grapes could not be harvested before he returned. As a result, his return was delayed for some reason. When he returned to the castle, the grapes were already infected with a layer of mold. Even so, he still felt that "it would be a waste to throw it away",

so he used those grapes to make wine. After the wine was bottled, it was stored in the wine cellar. About 10 years later, the Russian Tsar's brother came here as a guest and accidentally discovered that the style of the wine was extraordinary.

Since then, noble rot wine has become the signature of the Lusalus Winery, a unique signature.

Of course, the unique style of noble rot wine also makes it difficult to brew. It may even be impossible to brew it. To use the words that Count Alexander, the former general manager of Lusalus Winery, often said: "Without the courage to lose everything, you will never win!"

Because the production of noble rot wine requires picking rotten grapes, it must be done in the most primitive manual and slow pace. And it must be picked in multiple times, and each time only the most rotten grapes can be picked, and the others will be picked until the next time they meet the requirements. The wine made from grapes with very little water content has a very low yield, and often no harvest due to poor harvest in the year.

In the past century, there have been 9 years when the winery was completely discontinued because the quality of the grapes did not meet the requirements of the winery. 1972 can be called the most tragic year in history. That year, the workers of the Lussalus Winery broke the record and harvested the grapes in 11 times in more than two months. However, after the wine was brewed, due to the strict quality requirements of the winery, it was finally decided to give up the launch of the 1972 vintage.

There are three major brands of noble rot wine in the world: Lussalus Winery, Hungarian Tokaji, and German Rheingau. But there is no doubt that only Lussalus Winery is the most authentic. Its price is also extremely expensive. In ordinary years, a bottle is about RMB 8,000.

Similarly, the price of Lafite in ordinary years is about RMB 5,000. Of course, the artificially hyped price should be excluded. That is irrational.

As for the world-famous 1982 Lafite, the auction price is about RMB 80,000 per bottle in the market. As for the auction of noble rot wine, the price of several years with low production is basically around 50,000 euros.

Of course, Lafite is red wine, while noble rot wine is white wine. Therefore, there is no direct comparison between the two, both are top-notch wines. However, in terms of history and winemaking technology, Chateau Lusalus is more superb.

At this moment, Lin Feng and his party are in Sauternes, a small village that no one usually comes to. Of course, small villages in the West cannot be compared with Chinese villages.

Chinese villages are either dirty, messy, and poor, or have picturesque scenery, but lack water and electricity, and you can't see any modern facilities. And there is serious human damage.

For example, Yubeng Village in Lijiang, which was once famous in China. If you go to Lijiang for tourism, you must go to Yubeng Village. Just listening to the name, it is poetic and beautiful. Indeed, the scenery there is very charming. Every morning, the mist is lingering, like a fairyland. When the sun comes out, it is golden, like the birth of a fairy. The surrounding green mountains and waterfalls are flowing, which makes people yearn for it.

However, the poetic and picturesque scenery is obtained by extreme remoteness and backwardness. There is no access to the mainland at all. If you want to go in, you can. You can only go in by mule, and then you have to hike. Basically, it takes two hours to cross the mountain and moon ridge to reach Yubeng Village. Then when you get there, there is nothing. In addition to the scenery, you have nothing, no food you imagine, no bathing, and even accommodation can only be temporarily borrowed in the homes of the people, and that environment is unbearable for most tourists. After a long journey, you can only make do for one night, and the temperature difference between morning and night is very large. This feeling is not something that ordinary people can bear.

Therefore, it is called a paradise on earth for top hikers. Of course, there is a saying: the heart is in heaven, the person is in hell. This is the best and most appropriate description of Yubeng Village.

No matter how beautiful the scenery is, at that moment, you always feel like you are in hell.

In France, Sauternes is remote enough, but modern enough. This is also what Lin Feng wants to inspect this time. If the country does not inspect, then Lin Feng will inspect. Lin Feng's vision now is no longer a personal honor or disgrace, but the honor or disgrace of the entire Chinese nation.

Soon, the group sat down in the winery of the Chateau de Lusalus.

The leader of the meeting was President Sarkozy. And Pope Francis was the arbitrator. As for Lin Feng, he was a special adviser. The two sides, one side was King Dashiel, and the other side was shipping companies such as Maersk and Taiping Shipping.

This time, the shipping companies arrived relatively well, basically all the world-famous shipping companies arrived. Some people here are also acquaintances of Lin Feng. For example, Dr. Su Haiwen, the son-in-law of the late shipping tycoon Pao Yue-kong, and Chen Qingzhi, president of Taiwan Wan Hai Shipping. Of course, if you say you are familiar with each other, then you have met each other before. If you really say you are familiar with each other, then you are not familiar with each other.

Of course, Bao Peili, the president of Lin Feng's "Second Ocean Shipping Company", was also present. Although Lin Feng didn't care about this, it was related to the interests of all shipping companies. If Lin Feng didn't let anyone come, it would be too unreasonable. Although everyone knows what is going on here.

But if you don't come, it would be too ugly.

"Regarding the issue of Somalia's shipping tolls, I believe everyone should be very clear. So, this time I invited both parties to come to negotiate, naturally hoping that both parties can negotiate in a peaceful, friendly, mutually beneficial attitude. I hope both parties can restrain their emotions!" President Sarkozy expressed his attitude at the beginning.

Of course, he was not afraid that the people from these shipping companies would lose their temper. In fact, he was afraid that Lin Feng would lose his temper. These shipping companies, added together, are not as good as one Lin Feng. In particular, these shipping companies have more or less some relationship with Lin Feng. For example, the predecessor of Global Shipping was Pao Yue-kong, and the president of Linfeng Shipping Company, Bao Peili, is the sister-in-law of the current president of Global Shipping, Su Haiwen. There are also shipping companies in Japan, let's not talk about it.

All shipping companies in Japan are now under the Sumitomo Ning. Under this terrible woman. And this terrible woman is Lin Feng's woman. It can be said that now, except for Western shipping companies that have no absolute relationship with Lin Feng, the rest are more or less related to Lin Feng.

It is difficult for them to fight with Lin Feng! Sarkozy can only hope that they can try their best to gain some benefits for themselves. Therefore, Sarkozy hopes that both parties will not slam the table. This is said to Lin Feng.

Lin Feng smiled and pretended not to hear it.

"Humph, you evil capitalists, you used to deprive us Somalis of our hard-earned money. Now that we Somalis have created our own country, do we still have to be exploited by you!" King Dashir cursed on the side.

The presidents of various shipping companies all looked depressed. Exploitation? When have they ever exploited Somalia? Somalia is poor and backward, and almost a penniless place. Is it worth their exploitation? On the contrary, it has always been you Somali pirates who have been exploiting them!

"Okay, okay, let's talk business! Let's talk business!" President Sarkozy exclaimed. (To be continued.)
