Before buying this manor, Yang Jing already knew that because there was a vineyard in this manor, there was a small winery and a wine cellar in the manor. However, Yang Jing did not expect that in addition to the winery and wine cellar that made wine and stored wine for that vineyard, there was such a wine cellar that stored many precious wines.

This also made Yang Jing suddenly realize that he seemed to have forgotten another problem, that is, he could acquire one of the eight major French wineries at this time.

In fact, in 1988, strictly speaking, there were only five national treasure wineries in France, and the eight major wineries in later generations had not yet been collected at this time. Lafite, Latour, Margot, Mouton, and Obiang, these five wineries are the top national treasure wineries in France. As for European lawsuits, the three wineries, White Horse and Pertus, cannot be compared with the five wineries in front at this time.

However, even if it is just five national treasure wineries, it would be a great thing to buy one of them to collect.

At this time, the five major wineries are not worth a lot, just 50 to 60 million US dollars. Moreover, due to the stock market crash, the capital behind these five major wineries is in a state of chaos. Several are even seeking to sell their shares in their winery to cash out.

Although the five major wineries today are also of investment value, they are far less precious than later generations. Therefore, in the late 1980s, the owners of these five major wineries were almost changed one by one.

Since someone else bought these five major wineries, why can’t you buy one by yourself?

In later generations, it is quite a matter of being the owner of the five major wineries. Countless European and American tycoons want shares in these five major wineries, but there are only a few top wineries in the world. How can those who own wineries sell their wineries?

In later generations, no matter how rich you are, unless you spend money desperately, you will never be able to buy the five major wineries.

Yang Jing, who thought of these things in the wine cellar, was not in the mood to stay here any longer. He hurried out of the wine cellar, grabbed the phone and called Tom Niz's paging.

Although mobile phones began to appear in the United States in 1988, the number of holdings was not large. The high telephone bills were the main factor restricting the rapid expansion of this first-generation cellular mobile phone. Now, even in the United States, only a few wealthy or important government officials can hold mobile phones. Real estate agents like Tom Niz who were still a pure silk a few days ago were good enough to wear a pager.

Tom Niz quickly called back.

"Boss, I'm now preparing to fly to Europe at the airport in Boston. Are you doing anything?" The background noise on the phone was very loud, and Yang Jing could hear that Tom Niz should be in a place with a lot of people.

"Donald, after arriving in Europe, I will ask about the news about the five major wineries in France. If possible, I can buy any of the five major wineries directly. Well, the authorized price I give you is less than 80 million US dollars."

"80 million US dollars? Oh, boss, is this price too high? The most valuable Lafite Chateau, the five major wineries, is only more than 60 million and less than 70 million US dollars..."

Yang Jing interrupted the guy, "Donald, just do what I mean. Remember, as long as you can buy a winery as soon as possible, you will make a contribution."

"Okay, boss, I promise to complete the task."

After putting down the phone, Yang Jing's mind calmed down a little. Although Tom Niz is not showing off now, this guy's ability is absolutely unquestionable, otherwise he would not have such a high achievement in the future. With his ability and his own funds, he must be able to buy a winery.

The idea of ​​buying a winery has somewhat disturbed Yang Jing's thought of carefully visiting this manor, but he has become the new owner of this manor, so he still thought for a while and continued to visit this manor.

In fact, the manor is just like that. It covers a large area and does not have walls like castles, nor does it have high defensiveness like European castles.

But this is a manor covering an area of ​​more than one square kilometer. Walking around here still makes Yang Jing feel like visiting in the park.

To the north of the main building is the farm, the vineyard is on the south side of the main building, to the west is the Niagara River, and to the east is a small farm, which raises a few cattle, dozens of sheep, some poultry, and a few Quatta horses.

The weather today was not very good, so Yang Jing did not try to ride a horse, but instead wandered to the auxiliary building.

Two of the four auxiliary buildings are connected to the main building, and the other two are about thirty meters away from the main building, with a corridor connecting the main building in the middle.

The auxiliary building that Yang Jing came to was the auxiliary building located on the north side of the main building. According to Butler Scheton, this auxiliary building was used by Alfred to study some technologies, and it can be roughly equivalent to a private laboratory.

Alfred, among the three brothers of DuPont, is not only a great family leader, he is actually an excellent scientist. In this regard, Alfred is a bit like his great-grandfather Irene DuPont. You should know that after Pierre DuPont was expelled to the American continent by Napoleon, it was developed by Irene DuPont's gunpowder making technology.

As the great grandson of Irene DuPont, Alfred inherited his great-grandfather's character and scientific research talent. During his time in charge of the DuPont family, he developed many very high-end technologies for the DuPont family at that time.

Butler Shayton said that when he was a child, he often saw Alfred performing experiments in the auxiliary building, and he also heard some strange "anomous noises" from time to time. When he was a child, Butler Shayton was very curious about the auxiliary building, but Butler Shayton's father, Lao Sheyton, did not let him go to the auxiliary building to play.

It was not until it grew up that Shayton knew what the vice building was for.

Now, the auxiliary building is rarely opened. Every day, except for servants cleaning, no one lives there.

Yang Jing walked into the auxiliary building along the corridor. The auxiliary building is not high, only two and a half stories high, but the area covers a large area. The auxiliary building is empty, and the experimental equipment can no longer be seen in the rooms covered with experimental equipment, leaving only an empty house.

There are several rooms on the second floor, but there are some furniture, but Yang Jing has no interest in these furniture. As for the attic on the top floor, it is empty and has nothing.

After walking around the building, Yang Jing came to the basement of the auxiliary building.

Compared to the empty space above, the basement, which is also quite large, is undoubtedly much more crowded. The basement is well-moisture and ventilation. At least Yang Jing did not feel any dampness and coldness here. Perhaps because of this reason, there are many things that have not been used in this basement for many years.

Yang Jing flipped through these things casually and found that most of them were from the fifties and sixties, and of course, there were also things from the thirties and forties.

This reminded Yang Jing of the kind of work he did with the fat man when he was studying abroad, which was specially designed to clean up the garbage for the rich.

The things in this basement may be garbage for the DuPont family, but if they are left thirty years later, these things will be enough for those garbage disposalers to be happy to see even the back teeth.

For example, although this set of National Geographic magazines from 1890 to 1842 lacked the magazines from 1888 and 1889, the National Geographic magazines from 52 years were a lot.

If this set of magazines is placed in thirty years later, let alone flea markets, it is qualified to be filmed directly, and it can definitely be sold at a very high price.

In addition, there are some books, magazines and magazines published in the early 20th century, which are also valuable if they are placed thirty years later.

There are many things in the basement, some of which were obviously put in by servants later, but some were obviously put in by the owner of this manor back then.

For example, in a corner southwest of the basement, there are some damaged experimental equipment, some tables, chairs and some debris piled up. Although these things are very worn, they are still placed in a very orderly manner. Obviously, these things should be some things that Alfred did in the laboratory, and then he directed the servants to carry them down.

Among these things, Yang Jing also discovered some good things, such as the two test benches, the writing benches and a few chairs, which were all made of good teak wood.

Teak is a high-end wood for making high-end furniture. Although it is not as valuable as sea yellow and red sandalwood, it is definitely a precious wood. In the past, many royal families in Europe used teak to create furniture.

These teak furniture that all look very worn are actually nothing. They are just the surface appearance. They can rejuvenate them by tidying up a little. Especially these furniture are used by Alfred, which is even more extraordinary.

But Yang Jing couldn't figure out why the DuPont family left these things here.

Now, as you buy this manor yourself, these things belong to you completely.

This kind of thing that buys a house and gets a bargain is Yang Jing’s favorite thing. Although the value of both ancient magazines and books and teak furniture is quite different from that of real antiques, the process of finding valuable things from some garbage that the former owner doesn’t want is the most exciting process.
