Chapter 1856: Chapter 684: Sophia’s Special Encouragement!

The driver’s door and the passenger door opened successively, the two got out of the car, and then both got into the back seat.

"Congratulations to the Host for successfully completing the lesson in a special environment, reward of 5 million yuan!"

After about ten minutes, the two tidied up, got out of the car, and returned to the driver’s seat and the passenger seat respectively.

Zhang Jingdong started the car again with a look of ease, swiftly maneuvering it back onto the road.

At this moment, Sophia finally breathed a sigh of relief, her eyes full of an unconcealable spring enthusiasm.

But soon she thought of something and said, "Did you... have you done what we just did with other women before? Why are you so skilled? And not nervous at all!"

Zhang Jingdong didn’t even stutter, directly raising his right hand and extending three fingers: "I swear, you are the first (European woman) I have done that with; if I’m lying, may I be struck by lightning five times!"

Of course, the words in parentheses were spoken in his heart, not out loud, but he believed God could hear his inner voice.

Seeing him swear so fervently, and with his expression and eyes giving no away, Sophia’s face instantly regained the smile from earlier: "But why are you so skilled? It doesn’t seem like the first time at all!"

Zhang Jingdong shrugged, "Well, I’m a man, and I was the one who suggested it. So even if it was my first time, I’d have to pretend to be an expert, or else how would we proceed?"

Sophia stared at Zhang Jingdong for a while, then pouted, "Alright, I’ll believe you for now... Have you had a girlfriend before?"

"I can’t lie to you about that; of course, I have. Otherwise, how could we have gotten into a relationship so quickly?"

Sophia blinked rapidly: "So am I the one with whom you got together in the shortest time?"

Zhang Jingdong thought to himself, what kind of thinking is this girl having?

He quickly thought and replied, "You indeed are the one with whom I got together in the shortest time, but that just proves the true love between us, and so we’ll definitely make it to the end."

Sophia suddenly said in a rare willful manner, "Anyway, I’ve already set my sights on you. If you dare not want me, I’ll... I’ll go down with you!"

Zhang Jingdong wasn’t scared at all; instead, he laughed directly: "You’re the one who said it, I’ll remember it! I will stay with you for the rest of my life, and if you dare to betray me in the future, I’ll go down with you too!"

Sophia was completely happy now: "Alright, then it’s settled!"

"Settled!"

As Zhang Jingdong spoke, he pulled Sophia’s hand over and kissed it, and Sophia leaned over and kissed Zhang Jingdong back.

More than half an hour later, the two arrived at the Blue Square Vineyard, also located in the suburbs of Milan.

Accompanied by the vineyard’s steward, they took a brief tour.

This vineyard was slightly smaller than Sophia’s family vineyard, with only over 400 acres of vineyards and only three types of grapes.

After leaving the vineyard, Sophia said, "Although this vineyard is a bit smaller, the current management is fine. If managed properly after taking over, it could reach its previous scale in two years at most."

"And the price they’re asking for is quite reasonable, 250 million US Dollars, and I estimate we could negotiate it down to about 230 million US Dollars."

Zhang Jingdong smiled and shook his head, "I don’t think it’s quite suitable; their scale is a significant drawback, and they aren’t well-known enough either."

Seeing Zhang Jingdong’s firm attitude, Sophia didn’t say any more.

The two got back in the car and headed to the next vineyard.

In the next four hours, they looked at two other vineyards in Milan.

The second one was larger than Sophia’s family vineyard, but Zhang Jingdong still wasn’t interested, feeling that their size was still not enough.

After leaving the second vineyard, Sophia couldn’t help but say, "According to your expectations, I think only the Eight Great Vineyards could meet your standards."

Zhang Jingdong said casually, "Then let’s go see the Eight Great Vineyards, do you have a way to contact them?"

Sophia instantly looked incredulous: "Are you serious? Do you know how much they cost at that level?"

"How much?"

"At least 800 million US Dollars, and even if you’re willing to pay, they might not sell. After all, these century-old vineyards are truly golden brands."

Zhang Jingdong spread his hands, "If they won’t sell for 800 million, I’ll offer 1 billion, and if they still won’t sell, I’ll offer 1.2 billion. I just don’t believe they don’t care for money."

"While vineyard business can make money steadily, it’s slow money in their hands. With 1 billion US Dollars, it would take them decades; I believe some of them wouldn’t withstand such a long wait."

Seeing that Zhang Jingdong didn’t seem to be joking, Sophia said, "Alright, then I’ll help you get in touch, but such high-level vineyards are beyond my connections. I’ll first call my dad."

That said, she walked aside.

Just as she left, Zhang Jingdong’s cellphone rang.

He took out his cellphone and glanced at it.

It was a text message from He Jieyu: I’ll be at Milan Railway Station in an hour, are you coming to pick me up?

Zhang Jingdong paused and replied: Of course, I’ll see you in a while.

He Jieyu: Alright, wooden horse.

Zhang Jingdong: Remember our promise yesterday.

He Jieyu: You really managed to win over a foreign girl?

Zhang Jingdong: Do you really think your man is not capable of that?

He Jieyu: Okay, I believe you. Then when I arrive, I’ll work for a few hours as your assistant, so you must reward me well tonight.

Zhang Jingdong: Don’t worry, don’t you know your man’s personality by now? Even if you didn’t mention it, I wouldn’t let you get away!

He Jieyu: Okay, I’m looking forward to it!
