Fairy Gourd Farm

Chapter 1615 Retaining Leonardo
Today's Zhao Lei is already familiar with this kind of scene. He asked the workers to find tall glasses, poured champagne for everyone, and then raised their glasses: "Today is the official establishment of Xianhu Winery. I wish Xianhu Winery more success." Come on, cheers!"

"cheers!"

Others also raised their glasses to congratulate Zhao Lei, with smiles written all over their faces.

After all, compared with Charlie Randy, the new boss has promised not to fire everyone, and even the original treatment will not be changed.For these workers, there is nothing more gratifying than keeping their jobs.

Only Leonardo seemed to be a bit discouraged. In his opinion, the current winery is no longer in shape. Even if the new owner is willing to spend a lot of effort on rebuilding, it will take several years to see the effect.No matter what others think, Leonardo has made up his mind to leave anyway, so he wants to find an opportunity to say goodbye to Zhao Lei, and go to another winery to find a job that can guarantee him to continue making wine.

After toasting with everyone, Zhao Lei quickly said earnestly: "I think everyone is aware of the current situation of the winery. It will definitely not work if you don't manage it seriously. I plan to shovel out those dying vines first, and then plant new ones. grape seedlings, hoping to restore the winery to its original state.”

Ben hesitated and said, "Mr. Zhao, I don't think it's very useful to just replant grapes. The key is to take good care of the winery's environment, otherwise it's just a waste of money."

Several other people also nodded, expressing their agreement with Ben's statement.Some even thought that part of the land near the river bank should be abandoned, because the vines there were in the worst condition and had completely died.

Seeing that the workers have taken the initiative to consider for the winery, Zhao Lei is also very satisfied, and told everyone with a smile: "I have contacted Professor Brown of the University of Melbourne in advance, and he has given a definite plan. It will be implemented soon, so you don’t have to worry about it.”

In fact, this Professor Brown was completely made up by Zhao Lei, but this statement is quite deceptive, and the workers all showed relieved smiles.

Ben nodded again and again: "Since this is the case, we can rest assured that we will immediately eradicate those withered vines. While it is still spring, new grape seedlings can be replanted in the same year after eradication, which can save a year of waste." time."

The other workers also agreed with Ben's opinion, and they were all gearing up to perform well in front of the new boss.

Satisfied with everyone's enthusiasm, Zhao Lei nodded with a smile and said, "Then let's go to work. If the wines produced this year are very popular, I will give bonuses to everyone who works hard."

"Haha, then we will wait for the bonus."

"Boss, you are so generous."

"Go, go, go to work!"

The workers laughed and left, no one took Zhao Lei's words seriously.They have all worked in the winery for several years. Naturally, they know that in the current situation of Xianhu Winery, it is already very good to be able to grow the new grapes alive. It is simply whimsical to want to make wine this year!

Zhao Lei didn't bother to explain to everyone that he has more important things to do right now.

After everyone left the exhibition hall, Zhao Lei said to Leonardo who had been hesitant to speak: "Now let's talk about your resignation. You said before that the biggest reason for resignation is to continue making wine. ?"

Leonardo nodded and said, "That's right, that's the only reason I resigned."

Zhao Lei nodded, and then asked: "So you are still satisfied with the salary and other benefits?"

Leonardo nodded again, expressing that apart from not being able to make wine, he is very satisfied with the current situation.

"Since this is the case," Zhao Lei said to Leonardo, "If I guarantee that you can make wine this year, you don't have to resign, right?"

Leonardo froze for a moment and said, "Mr. Zhao, you just asked everyone to shovel out all the vines. How can you make wine this year?"

Zhao Lei smiled slightly and said, "You don't have to worry about that, since I dare to promise you, there is a way!"

If it weren't for Zhao Lei's serious face, Leonardo would definitely think that the new boss was joking with him, but now he decided to ask one more question: "Boss, can you really let me start brewing wine this year?"

"Absolutely no problem!" Zhao Lei said: "Charlie Landy said that you are a rare wine-making talent, and suggested that I try to keep you as much as possible. If the grapes in our winery do not bear fruit this year, you can go to any winery. The winery helps make wine, and I still pay the salary, so it will be no problem!"

Zhao Lei has already talked about this point, and has shown enough sincerity, Leonardo is too embarrassed to mention the matter of resignation, so he just nodded slightly: "Okay, then I will stay for another year. But if In the fall, I will really go to other wineries to help, and I won't ask you for a penny of salary, I can't take advantage of you because of my own problems."

Leonardo being able to say this also made Zhao Lei more optimistic about his character, and said with a smile: "I won't stay in the winery all the time, at most occasionally come to have a look. When I am away, you are in charge of the daily management of the winery. The monthly salary plus [-] Australian dollars."

Seeing that Leonardo still wanted to decline, Zhao Lei hurriedly continued: "This matter is settled, now let's talk about what needs to be improved in the winery."

Leonardo was indeed devoted to the winemaking business. After hearing Zhao Lei's question, he immediately told him: "The most important thing is to take care of the land of the winery. If the grapes cannot be grown, the winery has no meaning to exist." gone."

Zhao Lei nodded and said: "Don't worry about this, I will definitely take care of it. At most one week, you should be able to see the results."

Leonardo is not as confident as Zhao Lei, but he does not intend to argue with the boss, and then said to him: "There is also the planting of new grape seedlings. Now is the most suitable season for transplanting grape seedlings. It's over."

"You don't have to worry about that." Zhao Lei said with a smile, "I have bought enough Cabernet Sauvignon grape seedlings from Daniel Ricardo in Brisbane, and they will be delivered in a few days."

As an experienced winemaker, Leonardo also has some knowledge of the nearby grape seedling suppliers. Hearing this, he immediately nodded and said: "Ricardo's grape seedlings have always been good, and the survival rate of transplantation will definitely be high. Apart from this In addition to the two most important things...there is a new batch of oak barrels for maturing red wine. The old barrels in the wine cellar have not been used for several years, and they are all useless!"

Hearing Leonardo mention the oak barrel, a flash of light flashed in Zhao Lei's mind, and he thought of a good idea.
