386: Chapter 386 The Football Field! Cash Out and Leave!

Leaving the work to the people from Jiuxiang Food and the Mergers and Acquisitions Department, Su Yang simply hired a local guide and went sightseeing.

He also brought his little secretary, Yu Chengjun, along for the ride.

On the third day, after visiting the Gajin Snow Mountain in the Valley of the Sun God, he returned to the chizhu winery and saw the chief winemaker, Fernando, sitting by an informal football field, watching a group of children play.

Fernando was in his forties, stood 1.8 meters tall, had a sturdy build, and sported a beard.

Dressed in work clothes, he looked quite handsome!

"Fernando, do you like football too?" Su Yang took the initiative to strike up a conversation.

"Yes!" Seeing it was Su Yang, Fernando managed a faint smile and said in somewhat broken Chinese, "I trained at the Fildo Football Club back in the day, but I didn't have much talent!"

He had a deep impression of Su Yang, feeling that with Su Yang's looks and aura, it was a pity he didn't go to Paris to be a male model!

Moreover, he felt that Su Yang possessed an aura that made people feel very relaxed!

His smile was very approachable!

Su Yang recalled for a moment and said, "Fildo? I remember that's a second-division team, right?"

"You know it?"

"I've heard of it!"

Su Yang considered himself a casual football fan, at the very least.

Possessing a Photographic Memory, he had inadvertently memorized a lot of information!

"Although it's a second-division team, three generations of my family have been loyal fans of Fildo!"

"Judging by your build, you must have played as a forward back then, right? Your long-range shooting skills must be good?"

Fernando said in surprise, "You can tell even that?"

"I'm also the owner of a football club!" Su Yang sat on the stone bench next to him and said with a smile, "When it comes to football, I'm quite professional."

Yu Chengjun stood to the side, looking at her boss with some confusion.

Is the boss just bragging?

The club was only established a few days ago!

On Fernando's skill panel, that single entry-level long-range shooting skill was just too obvious!

Fernando looked at Su Yang with wide eyes, then revealed a sincere smile: "I didn't expect you to run a football club!"

"An amateur football club, not playing in professional leagues!" Su Yang said frankly, "Just organizing a few games for fun during our free time on weekends!"

Fernando said with a smile, "That's great, football is meant to be played for fun!"

"Did you teach these children too?"

Su Yang felt that this group of children played with quite a bit of structure; their dribbling techniques didn't look like random practice.

"A few of my colleagues and I would play for fun when we were bored, and later we realized these children seemed to like it too, so we taught them a bit along the way!" Fernando looked at the group of children and said, "To be honest, the children here have good stamina, and some even have decent talent. If they were in France, we would definitely consider developing them into professional football players."

Su Yang scanned the ten children in the two teams on the field.

The children ranged from seven or eight to fourteen or fifteen years old, and there was even a goalkeeper!

There was also a smaller, somewhat dirty-looking boy sitting on a stone nearby, watching the people on the field play with a pitiful expression.

Soon, Su Yang focused his gaze on a sturdy boy in a school uniform with a rosy, highland complexion...

"Is it him?" Su Yang pointed to the thirteen or fourteen-year-old child and asked, "The one who stole the ball?"

Fernando looked at Su Yang in surprise once again: "How could you tell?"

"Breathing frequency and running speed!" Su Yang made up an excuse, "His stamina should be very strong, and his sprint speed is fast... it's just that his technique doesn't seem very good."

"My god~ Mr. Su, with your eye, you could definitely become a top-tier scout!"

"It's alright!"

With a four-star stamina talent and a three-star speed talent, it would be strange if he couldn't run.

In the following time, Su Yang chatted with Fernando about his life in France and Derong County.

The two communicated more and more harmoniously.

"I heard you don't want the Fildo Group to sell its shares in chizhu?"

Su Yang slowly turned the topic to business.

He hadn't just been playing these past few days.

The people from the Mergers and Acquisitions Department were still reporting the work progress to him every day.

The Chenyu Group definitely wanted to withdraw, but there were some conflicting opinions within this French foreign-invested company.

Fernando was one of the French employees who was quite determined to stay!

"I have been here for eight years, and I just want to brew a unique highland wine. It would be best if I could create a high-quality wine brand to become my masterpiece. This is my professional pursuit!" Fernando looked at the clear sky and said, "Now, asking me to quit, I'm really not reconciled!"

"Hmm!"

"And I also like it here!"

Su Yang smiled: "I thought your dream was to become a professional football player!"

"Becoming a professional player was my childhood dream, but I obviously didn't have the talent for it!" Fernando said with a smile, "My dream now is to become an excellent winemaker, and I feel I have some talent in this area."

Su Yang nodded.

Four-star talent, with the potential to become a master-level winemaker, that's indeed good!

He actually didn't expect to meet two geniuses with four-star talents today.

Fernando added: "Besides, my grandfather was also a winemaker!"

Su Yang said with a smile: "Even if chizhu is sold to us, you can still stay!"

Actually, whether the Fildo Group sells or not is not something Fernando can decide.

Su Yang mainly wanted to keep him!

Fernando currently possesses proficient-level wine-making technology, and in the future, he has the potential to break through to the master level.

"My salary is not low at all!" Fernando smiled, "It's even higher than the General Manager of Chizhu Wine Industry!"

"How much?"

"Two million after tax, I suppose!"

"Euros?"

"Of course not!"

"Then that's no problem!" Su Yang said with a smile, "Your wife can also stay, including your colleagues; if there are any who are willing to stay, we can afford their salaries."

It's only two or three million; when he encounters talent that he truly needs, he is willing to pay!

Fernando sighed: "Thank you for your appreciation, but I still need to consider it further!"

Su Yang suggested: "How about letting your group company stay as well?"

Fernando looked at Su Yang in surprise: "Why?"

"I think your Fildo Group is also professional in the packaging and marketing of high-end red wine, and can also expand more channels for the company's sales!"

Fernando nodded: "That is indeed the case!"

Wine can not only be sold domestically but also sold to other countries.

The Fildo Group is an internationally renowned brand, mainly dealing in luxury goods, high-end red wine, and hotel business.

In this regard, they are very professional!

Su Yang asked again: "Why does the Fildo Group want to withdraw?"

Fernando opened his mouth, hesitating to speak.

"Tell me, I won't tell anyone else!"

"Really?"

"Of course it's true, trust me!"

"Alright!"

Perhaps it was because he had communicated very happily with Su Yang.

Or perhaps Fernando had a relatively straightforward personality and was easy to trust people.

Or perhaps he was dissatisfied with the group company; he hesitated for a moment and then said to Su Yang in a low voice:

"They say the head office is having financial problems, but actually, they feel that since the Chenyu Group is leaving, they estimate there's no future in continuing, so they decided to just sell the shares, make a profit, and leave!"

Su Yang asked in confusion: "They don't believe in the ability of our group company?"

Fernando nodded: "In the wine industry, the Chenyu Group should be one of your domestic leading enterprises; they trust Chenyu more!"

"Among those with decision-making power within your company, are there any who oppose selling the Chizhu Wine Industry shares?"

"Yes!"

"Perhaps you can trust us once!"

"How so?"
