Chapter 407: financial consultant

2000 gold coins with a denomination of 500 euros, this is 1 million euros, according to the exchange rate is about 7.6 million, this gift package is not bad.
After talking with the owner in this homestay, I learned that an average family of three here is enough to eat and drink for about 300 euros a month. In this way, the 1 million euros, if he is frugal, will be enough for him to live here for 50 years.
Of course, this does not include the place to live. He does not need to rent a house if he lives in a place. The castle in the [Touville Winery] is originally the owner’s private residence. He has heard the accountant’s report. The fort covers an area of ​​6.5 hectares, including flower baskets, courts, swimming pools, etc.
After turning off the screen, Chen Chuan fell asleep after closing his eyes.
In the early morning of the next day, Chen Chuan got up early and ran along the trail along the Garonne River, saying that French people are lazy. In fact, according to his observations in the morning, they are not so lazy. No one gets up at five or six. But at seven o'clock, many people got up. This lazy bed is about the same level as Andy.
After running back, the owner of the hotel prepared breakfast, which is French bread sticks and various jams, matched with cheese and milk. They all eat like this here. The jam includes peanut butter, chocolate sauce, and blueberry sauce. Chen Chuan’s favorite is figs. sauce. These were made by the proprietress named Nic and packed in clay pots.
In view of her enthusiasm and thoughtfulness, Chen Chuan gave her a 20 Euro tip.
This resulted in her more elegant and warm service.
However, Chen Chuan may not stay here for too long, because he is going to his winery today.
At nine o'clock in the morning, he called the accountant Marion, made an appointment for the meeting, and then went to the bank to withdraw 2,000 gold coins. The system was legally purchased through formal channels. When he went there, he only had to report his identity information. Can receive.
The 2000 gold coins are packed in a silver suitcase. The weight of a gold coin is 15 grams. This total is 30,000 grams, which is 30 kilograms and 60 kilograms.
Ordinary people are afraid that it is more difficult to carry this, which is equivalent to the weight of a head and two ha, but Chen Chuan is easy, not only can walk, but also run, but also throw up and catch.
Carrying 1 million euros of gold coins, walking in the city of Bordeaux during the day, the fourth largest city in France, gave Chen Chuan the feeling, in summary: petty bourgeoisie, niche, small and fresh.
I think of Xu Jinglei and Li Yapeng's "Pushing Love to the End", which now seems to be regarded as a Bordeaux travel documentary.
From the field point of view, it is smaller and fresher than the TV series.
The meeting place agreed with the accountant Marion was next to the Grand Theater. Due to the proximity to the bank, Chen Chuan walked two steps to arrive. While waiting, he went to the roadside dessert shop and bought a kind called latoquecuivrée. Dessert, translated as Keluli.
Kruuli is a representative traditional dessert of Bordeaux, which can be seen at the airport. This thing looks like a "copper bell".
After introduction by the clerk, Chen Chuan learned that Keluli originated in the 16th century and used simple materials, but it was quite difficult to grasp the heat. The baked shell is crispy and crispy, and the inside is fluffy with honeycomb-shaped holes.
It also has a rum aroma and a great taste.
Standing on the side of the road, eating Coruli, I saw a white-marked car slowly approaching.
As the car was listening to Chen Chuan, the window of the car fell. A French woman with long tawny hair looked at Chen Chuan and asked, "Hello, may I be Mr. Chen Chuan?"
She uses Mandarin, which is not very fluent, and she must know that Chen Chuan is a major client. This greeting was also practiced at home by herself.
"Hello, Marion, this is Chen Chuan. Do you want to eat Keruli?" Chen Chuan handed over half a box of desserts left, and looked at the woman by the way.
She is a typical French woman with brown hair, black eyebrows, blue eyelids, brown eyes and red lips.
Tawny is the color of chestnut skin. Their hair was golden when they were born, and then gradually faded. They became this color in their 20s.
She took light makeup, did not overly trim and stroke her eyebrows, and her clothes were sweaters and jeans, and she looked comfortable and dignified, without prints. She is thin, well-proportioned, and has a pleasant temperament.
Marion shook her head with a smile, said "thank you" in Mandarin, and then said in English: "I have had breakfast. Is Luli delicious?"
"It tastes good." Chen Chuan said in French.
"Mr. Chen knows French? Last time on the phone..." Marien was surprised, because the last time she called Chen Chuan, the two used English.
Chen Chuan smiled: "I know a little bit."
Chen Chuan got into her car, she took out a stack of documents, smiled and said, "These all need your signature. Go to my office or find a cafe?"
She has a cold temperament when she is not smiling, and her smile is a bit lazy and cute and free, just like many French women seen in the movie. It's just that, perhaps because Chen Chuan is a big customer, her smile has been different.
After all, Tuweier Winery is a medium-to-large manor worth 10 million euros. This handsome young man from the East is the new owner of the manor. If you can buy a 10 million euro manor, it should be more than 10 million euro.
Chen Chuan handed the remaining half box of Keluli to Marion. He took the documents, opened it and looked at it. It was the sale contract of the manor and the freehold property rights of the land. The system has already paid 10 million yuan, and the money has entered a third party. It can be transferred to the seller only after Chen Chuan signs it.
Chen Chuan didn't think it was necessary to go to Marion's office or cafe, so he signed the car directly and went to the winery.
He took the pen and began to sign one by one.
Marion asked, "Mr. Chen, will Louis continue to manage the winery? If you want to change the management, I can introduce you. Or I can hire people for you."
"What is the annual salary for the position of general manager of the winery?" Chen Chuan asked while signing.
"The salary in France is relatively low in Europe. For an industry of 10 million euros like Tuweier, if it is in Germany, the general manager will get 300,000 euros, and even in the Netherlands, he will get 180,000 euros. But here, their annual salary is 110,000 Euros." Marien said, "110,000, can be recruited to a general manager with rich wine management experience, knowledge of winemaking equipment, and independent operation."
110,000 Euros is actually an absolute high annual salary in France.
70% of people, which is about 2000 euros.
"How much do you earn?" Chen Chuan asked her.
"My job is 3750 euros after tax, but I work part-time as a wealthy financial consultant, and I still have 2380 euros in the account every month." Marien said.
"A beautiful woman like you, it takes only 2380 euros in a month?" Chen Chuan signed all the documents and looked at her, "I'll pay 3,000 euros, can you do things for me? I won't come here often, I need you. help."
"Then I am very honored, Mr. Chen." Mary said, "I can do a lot. A big man like you really needs a professional financial adviser to help you take care of it here."
In fact, the main reason why Chen Chuan hired Marion was because he felt that the other party was good and professional.
However, it was true that Marion had promised to be so happy that Chen Chuan did not expect it.
"It is said that French women are noble, are you too flattering?" Chen Chuan joked.
"This is not flattery, it is passion and professionalism." She laughed.
"Well, you can help me see, besides repaying money, is this kind of gold coin still worth collecting?" Chen Chuan handed the box to her.
She watched Chen Chuan carry it easily, so she miscalculated the weight. The box was placed on her lap, and the heavy pressure made Marien snorted, "God. It's so heavy, I can't stand it. Take it away."
"Sorry, I forgot that it is heavy." Chen Chuan took it back, turned it on his lap, and opened it.
The lid of the box popped up, and the gleaming 2,000 French collectible gold coins reflected a new luster in the compartment.
"A gold coin with a face value of 500 euros, my God, how many are there? 2000?" Marien looked surprised.
She had a good vision, and calculated the number from the arrangement and the thickness of the box. She was indeed a very smart French woman.
"This kind of gold coin is a thousand pure gold, which is not affected by the price fluctuations of gold and the collection market, that is to say, it only rises and does not fall. But in a short period of time, the increase will not be very large. People can do it too. Like the 20 franc gold coin from the Louis XVIII period in 1824, it is now worth nearly 300 euros." Marien said.
She added: "The gold coins you bought don't seem to have been issued much, only 25,000. They can be collected."
"Thank you for the suggestion." Chen Chuan closed the box. In fact, he just wanted to show off his 1 million Euro coins.
However, judging from Marion's expression, it was obviously shown.
"Mr. Chen, shall we go to the winery now?" she asked.
"Let's go." Chen Chuan said.
As for Wang Facai and Da Yinghua, they are the visiting group of other wineries that they reported, so today it is not on the way. Chen Chuan asked Marion and learned that these wineries are not far away, they are all 10 kilometers outside Bordeaux.
As the car hit the road, Chen Chuan sat in the co-pilot, watching the pedestrians on the side of the road.
It is said that France is the country of beauty. In fact, through observation, Chen Chuan found that the quality of girls is generally inferior to that of Russia. The blonde girls of Russia have three-dimensional and delicate facial contours, which are in line with the aesthetic taste of Chinese people.
But the women in France are more profound, with intellectual beauty and elegant temperament. They are really elegant to a little lazy, and slow and a little high.
The way they hold cigarettes is more charming.
Chen Chuan saw the cigarette case in the car.
Comparing Marion and the two Asian girls Wang Facai and Da Sakura who got along last night, Chen Chuan came to the conclusion that women have four cents: one, unrestrained beauty. Second, the beauty of the wild. Third, the beauty of gentleness. Fourth, graceful beauty.
Generally speaking, almost all Western European women tend to be unrestrained and wild ~EbookFREE.me~ while Eastern women tend to be gentle and graceful.
The car was bumping up and down. Although Marion had good driving skills, she couldn't stand a section of a gravel road after she left the city. After asking, she learned that the road was to be repaired.
Chen Chuan couldn't see Marion's age. It was not easy to ask such questions face to face. He guessed blindly that he was three or five years older than him.
After 20 minutes of driving, the car stopped in a small village.
Marien said: "The castle of Towell Manor is not open to the public. It takes about 10 minutes to get there on foot."
"walk?"
"Well, you have to walk to the castle, but there are roads to the wine cellar and brewing workshop," Marien said.
The two got out of the car and walked towards the castle.
Chen Chuan found that this woman was really a bit noble, walking as if she were a noble queen.
