Chapter 333: When the Grapes Are Ripe

All three families had a very happy dinner this time, but Brenda, the little girl, no longer showed an ambiguous attitude towards Zhen Fan, but did not pretend to speak. It was obvious that she had suffered setbacks from Zhen Fan and was a little frustrated. As for the last time I went back, I was still muttering in my heart: "This playboy!"

Yes, this is her evaluation of Zhen Fanxin in her heart, playboy, it couldn't be better. In fact, in the final analysis, it was also because of the change in Mia's attitude towards Zhen Fan after Mia's arrival.

It is already June. June 1st is International Children's Day, but it is the time for American high school students to take the SAT test, which is the academic ability assessment test, which belongs to the American college entrance examination. The timing of this test is generally divided into several periods each year, taking place on the first Saturday in March, May, June, October, November and December and the last Saturday in January. And Brenda took the exam that was held in June.

But it’s nothing, Brenda is full of confidence in herself. Before departure, Zhen Fan injected a little spiritual power into her forehead to keep her mind clear. Of course, this had to be done without Brenda’s awareness. Yes, without letting her know. After the final grades came out, Brenda's grades were more than 2,200 points, which was considered excellent. At least there was no problem in going to a better university. The key depended on her own application.

And just in July, it was the examination for the qualification certificate of Chinese medicine practitioners. Since California changed the examination time to July last year, there has been no indication that the time should be returned. So Mia has already started preparing for the exam, and she spends all day reading at home. Including the books translated into Chinese that Zhen Fan gave her and some exam-taking books that Zhen Fan bought last year to prepare for the exam, just like a Chinese student preparing for the college entrance examination as diligently.

In fact, according to Mia's current level, she can pass without any pressure. But she asked herself to do better. Many things happened during this period, including Zhen Fan signing a contract with the Lakers, and signing a contract with the public hospital where Dr. Chatwin works.

In August, doctors from the hospital will come to Zhen Fan's clinic for a two-month internship, including those medical graduates who have just arrived at the hospital. The Lakers finally signed Zhen Fan at a price of 10 million U.S. dollars per year for a period of two years. Zhen Fan's salary has nothing to do with the total salary level of the entire Lakers, so there is no need to consider luxury tax and salary cap issues.

And the first thing to do when joining the Lakers. It is to make a diagnosis for all the players, including the substitute players, and heal several players with accumulated injuries. There are still many hidden problems of the players. Even the team boss Cole. Bryan's hidden injuries were also detected, and treatment was consolidated.

In fact, the effect after treatment is indeed immediate. Many players can explode with amazing combat power. This is related to Zhen Fan's restoration of their physiological functions. Even Cole Bryan often broke out in the playoffs, averaging around 32.6 points per game. And led the Lakers to the Finals.

But although they did not win the championship in the end,

They were defeated by the Miami Heat four to three, but no one can deny their ability, and in the game, Cole of the Lakers Brian and Pete Howard's combination really makes people feel very scary. Even the coach of the Heat who won the championship has repeatedly stated that he is just luckier than Mike. D'Antoni is better. And pay tribute to the Lakers.

Indeed, sometimes strength is very important in the game. But when there is not much difference in strength, luck will account for a large part of the proportion, and Mike. D'Antoni also had to pinch his nose to admit this so-called luck.

"Thank you very much, Zhen. This is the most wonderful game I have enjoyed this season. I feel like I am almost back to my peak." This is a call from Cole to Zhen Fan. Call Zhen Fan once. To be honest, he originally thought that he would go home to retire after two more seasons, but now it seems that his vitality is recovering again, and he knows whose credit it is.

"It's nothing, the Lakers are my team now!" Zhen Fan told him sincerely. To be honest, he has full respect for Cole, because he is the player closest to the achievements of the basketball god Jordan.

"So—after two years, will you renew your contract?" Cole tentatively asked a question.

"This...it depends on what good price your team's boss will give me." Zhen Fan smiled, and it could be heard that Cole was very concerned about this issue, not only him, but also the team's general manager Amy. Cook, because he's with Cole right now, listening to him on the phone.

"Money is not a problem, as long as you can stay, everything is not a problem!" Kobe suddenly smiled. If it was only for this reason, he was confident that Zhen Fan could stay. become. Because only Zhen can let him gallop on the court in his best condition.

"He said that as long as the salary is enough, he can stay!" Cole said to Amy. Cook said something.

"Great!" Amy. Cook clenched his fist.

He asked Cole to make this call, because Zhen Fan had expressed his respect for Cole several times. And Cole was still standing next to him thinking he was a boss, Howard also cracked his mouth and smiled.

"Boss, you have to keep him, otherwise it will be your loss, at least until the end of your general manager's term. He is a Californian. Don't let him go to other places." Howard This is for Amy. Cook said, "If he can stay, I guess many people would like to stay here, including Cole, right?" Brian smiled, showing his white teeth.

"Yes, as long as he stays, everything will be fine!" Cole's teeth were also exposed, white.

Now only Amy Cook had a headache and wondered how much salary he should use to keep Zhen Fan. Obviously, the medical technology shown by Zhen Fan can greatly increase his salary level when he renews his contract in the future. Perhaps it is also possible to give him the same salary as Cole.

After finishing the call with Cole, Zhen Fan also knew that he was tentative, so he didn't pay much attention to it. Just as he hung up, the phone rang again, this time it was Sampson, who started complaining as soon as he got on the phone.

"Zhen, you came to visit the vineyard, there is no boss like you! Our grapes are ripe and it's time to pick them, and you have to tell us your secret recipe, yes, it's your secret recipe for winemaking!" Sampson babbled, "We have everything ready, will you come over tomorrow?"

"Yes, I will be there tomorrow!" Zhen Fan nodded, and said to him in a very serious tone, yes, the grapes are ripe, shorter than Zhen Fan expected, and also riper than Temecula's grapes The date is a little earlier.

"Do you want to go to the vineyard tomorrow?" Zhen Fan turned to look at Mia who was reading a book.

"Go by yourself, I want to read a book!" Mia shook her head without taking her eyes off the book.

"Okay—" Zhen Fan was helpless, and now he felt like he was about to get busy again. Brewing wine is a major event. In addition, opening a branch clinic in Beverly Hills is also a major event. These tasks are all about to be completed recently, which makes Zhen Fan feel as if he is getting busier.

Didn't I just want to open a clinic when I came to the United States, and then live a leisurely life? Having a house, a car and an income, and traveling around the world in your spare time, what a wonderful life it is, why is Mao so busy running around now? This is not scientific! And this is still under the condition that the clinic is entrusted to Tang Shaoyang.

But the emotion is the emotion, Zhen Fan still has to go to the vineyard to see it honestly. And his secret recipe for brewing must also be the same as that of Alfonso. Jennings' old guy talked. Zhen Fan knew that this old guy was a veteran of wine making, and he heard that he had been making wine for the Cranston family for forty years and was familiar with the entire wine making process of the Cranston family.

Early the next morning, Zhen Fan drove his Escalade to the vineyard. That place was really not suitable for driving a sports car, and many workers would mistake him for a cynical playboy or something.

As usual, don’t block the door. Apart from a vineyard, there are bottling factories and winemaking factories not far away. Zhen Fan showed his pass and was able to pass. This is what he is quite satisfied with. To turn it into a modern wine-making base, build the plantation and the factory building together, omit the intermediate links, and the price paid is only some procedures for land acquisition.

Sampson's goals are ambitious. He even plans to buy other nearby vineyards. After all, after the "sour wine" incident in Temecula's vineyards last year, many vineyard growers are operating at a loss. This is also one of the reasons why Zhen Fan was able to buy Cranston's vineyards cheaply.

"Sampson!" Zhen Fan just stepped out of the car after parking the car, when he saw Sampson coming out of a modern two-story office building not far away, he opened his arms and walked towards him Going over, the two hugged, Sampson looked excited.

"You came at the right time. Let's go to the office to talk first. Our situation is very good. Now the planting situation of the entire Temecula vineyard is not very good, because of the impact of last year, and more importantly, their winemaking process Already behind. This is a good opportunity for us to catch up and surpass!"

Sampson kept talking while leading Zhen Fan to the office building. The office building is not big, but the decoration is very delicate. When they go to the second floor, one is the general manager's office. Sampson led Zhen Fan in, and then smiled at the spacious and bright office and the modern decoration: "How does this office give you?"

"No, I don't need to work here. Do you think I'm a person who sits and works?" Zhen Fan glanced at Sampson and smiled disapprovingly, "Is this for you?"

"Well, I can't say no to you, but you must listen to Alfonso's opinion!" Sampson said, picked up the phone, and said, "Alfonso? Come to the general manager's office!" Then he put down the phone and shrugged his shoulders, "Look, there is still a woman who answers the phone here! Is there anything you can recommend?" (To be continued...)
