Sophia looked worried for a moment: "Then what should we do? Should we call the police first?"

Zhang Jingdong casually replied, "Don’t worry, after all, they’re abroad too, and that sneak attack just now was probably their greatest move."

"Besides, don’t you have a clear understanding of your man’s strength by now?"

"It’s not just two cars; even if he brings a whole convoy, your man can handle them."

He Jieyu added, "Sophia sis, what Boss said is right. No matter how reckless they get, they’re definitely no match for the Boss!"

Sophia glanced at He Jieyu, then gradually calmed down: "...Alright, I’m just afraid they might keep retaliating against Boss Zhang."

A hint of steel flashed in Zhang Jingdong’s eyes: "You’re overthinking it; I’ll only give him three chances at most, and that was already the second time. If he dares provoke me again, I’ll make sure he never has another chance to retaliate... just like how our country deals with theirs."

More than half an hour later, Zhang Jingdong and the group arrived at the Haut-Brion Vineyard.

The person who greeted them was the vineyard master’s daughter, Fiona.

Although she wasn’t exceptionally beautiful, she had a nice demeanor and voice.

Moreover, as soon as they met, she surprisingly said to Zhang Jingdong, "Honestly, I always thought Huaxia men were quite short, but you’re not only very tall, you’re also very handsome and dashing."

Zhang Jingdong casually replied, "Well, there’s not much we can do. Our two countries are so far apart, there are bound to be some stereotypes. For example, I always thought French women were like Sophie Marceau, just pretty faces, but I never expected someone as elegant and classy as you from a distinguished family."

Upon hearing this, Sophia and He Jieyu were instantly tense for Zhang Jingdong.

But Fiona thought Zhang Jingdong was complimenting her and immediately looked delighted: "Thank you, you’re quite charming yourself."

They chatted briefly and then began touring the vineyard.

As Sophia noticed Fiona looking at Zhang Jingdong with increasingly tender eyes, she immediately took Zhang Jingdong’s hand.

Fiona couldn’t help but ask, "Sophia, you... are you two a couple?"

Sophia nodded directly: "Yes, we’ve been together for a long time."

With that, she turned to look at Zhang Jingdong.

Zhang Jingdong thought to himself, "You really know how to claim your territory now," but considering Fiona wasn’t exceptionally attractive, he was happy to give Sophia face.

So he said, "Sophia teaches in Huaxia. We met at the airport once and fell in love at first sight, and then we got together."

Fiona’s eyes showed a hint of envy: "Your love story sounds so romantic. What’s more interesting is that Sophia is the vineyard master’s daughter, and now you’re trying to buy the vineyard, so your careers are intertwined. I believe you’ll go the distance together. I wish you both the best."

Zhang Jingdong and Sophia exchanged a glance and then both thanked her.

Fiona then formally introduced the vineyard: "Our Haut-Brion Vineyard dates back to 1525..."

After listening to her detailed account, Zhang Jingdong knew there was certainly some exaggeration, but he had to admit, the Eight Great Vineyards truly have history and depth.

The key point was that many things in the vineyard could corroborate her historical narrative, and unlike those fake prehistoric artifacts some archaeologists dig up in small notebooks in the country, this was genuine evidence.

They toured the estate for over two hours before getting a general understanding.

Zhang Jingdong then asked, "How many bottles does your vineyard produce each year?"

Fiona replied with a bit of pride, "Our total output last year reached 183,000 bottles."

"And how many bottles did you sell altogether?"

Fiona paused and replied, "Well... the data I know is 80,000 bottles. However, we don’t sell all our wines in the same year. We store some of them for a few years before gradually selling them out."

Zhang Jingdong chuckled internally, "If I have a channel that can help you sell off all your current year’s wine directly, would you be willing to sell?"

"Your channel? Where’s your channel, in Europe?"

Zhang Jingdong shook his head, "All my main business is in Huaxia, so the channel I mentioned is in Huaxia."

Fiona hesitated, "But, as far as I know, most Huaxia people don’t have the habit of drinking red wine. Many vineyards over here sell their wine only moderately in your country."

"Your wine sells poorly over there because you don’t know how to sell it, not because there’s no demand from our side. I’m not saying anything else, just this: do you know how many people there are in Huaxia?"

Fiona pursed her lips, "I don’t know the exact number, but I know your country has the largest population in the world."

"The fact that you know this is already quite commendable. Let me inform you now, we have 1.3 billion people in Huaxia."

Fiona looked both surprised and somewhat puzzled, "So what?"

Zhang Jingdong continued, "Do you know how many bottles of baijiu were sold in our country last year? A whopping 3 billion bottles!"

"This shows that the demand for alcohol in our country is almost astronomical."

"You mentioned that most people in our country don’t have the habit of drinking red wine, and that’s somewhat true. However, you might not know that in the past, we also didn’t have the habit of chewing gum, but do you know how many packs of gum we bought last year? A staggering 11.3 billion packs!"
