I Don’t Want To Be Popular Chapter 407: Financial Advisor

2000 gold coins with a face value of 500 euros, which is 1 million euros, or about 7.6 million according to the exchange rate. This gift package is not bad.

After talking with the owner of this homestay, I learned that for a family of three, about 300 euros a month is enough to eat and drink. In this way, the 1 million euros, if he lives frugally, is enough for him to live here for 50 years.

Of course, this does not include the place to live. He has the place to live, so he doesn't need to rent a house. The old castle in [Towell Winery] is the owner's private residence. He has heard the accountant's report. His ancient castle covers an area of ​​6.5 hectares, including flower baskets, courts, swimming pools, etc.

Turn off the screen of the phone, Chen Chuan closed his eyes and fell asleep not long after.

In the early morning of the next day, Chen Chuan got up early to run along the footpath of the Garonne River, saying that the French were lazy. In fact, according to his observation in the morning, they were not so lazy. They didn't get up at five o'clock, nor did they get up at six o'clock. I got up, but at seven o'clock, many people got up. This lazy bed is about the same as Antti.

Back from the run, the hostess of the homestay prepared breakfast, which is French bread sticks and various jams, with cheese and milk. They all eat it here. The jams include peanut butter, chocolate jam, and blueberry jam. Chen Chuan likes it the most. It's fig jam. These were handmade by the proprietress named Nick and packed in earthen jars.

In view of her warmth and thoughtfulness, Chen Chuan tipped her 20 euros.

In exchange for her more elegant and warm service.

However, Chen Chuan probably won't be staying here for long, as he's going to his winery today.

At nine o'clock in the morning, he called accountant Marion, made an appointment to meet him, and then went to the bank to get 2,000 gold coins. information can be obtained.

2000 gold coins are packed in a silver suitcase. The weight of a gold coin is 15 grams, which is a total of 30,000 grams, or 30 kilograms, 60 kilograms.

Ordinary people may find it difficult to carry this, which is equivalent to the weight of one head and two halves, but Chen Chuan is easy, not only can walk, but also run, and can also throw up and catch.

Carrying a gold coin of 1 million euros, walking in the city of Bordeaux during the day, the fourth largest city in France, to Chen Chuan's feeling, summed up as: petty bourgeoisie, niche, small and fresh.

Remembering Xu Jinglei and Li Yapeng's "Following Love to the End" that I watched back then, now it seems that it can be regarded as a Bordeaux travel documentary at all.

And on the ground, it's smaller and fresher than the TV show.

The meeting place agreed with accountant Marion was next to the Grand Theater. Because it was close to the bank, Chen Chuan took two steps to get there. While waiting, he went to the roadside dessert shop and bought a kind of Dessert called latoquecuivrée, translated as Keluli.

Colourie is a traditional Bordeaux dessert that can be seen at airports. This thing looks like a "copper bell".

After being introduced by the clerk, Chen Chuan learned that Keluli originated in the 16th century and uses simple materials, but it is quite difficult to control the heat. The baked crust is crispy and crispy, and the inside is fluffy with honeycomb-like holes.

It also smells of rum and tastes great.

Standing on the side of the road eating Keluli, I saw a white sign car slowly approaching.

The car was listening to Chen Chuan, the window fell, and a French woman with long tawny hair looked at Chen Chuan and asked, "Hello, is this Mr. Chen Chuan?"

She is not very fluent in Mandarin. She must know that Chen Chuan is a big client. She has also practiced this greeting at home.

"Hello, Marion, I'm Chen Chuan, do you want to eat Keluli?" 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 eyes, brown eyes, and red lips.

Tawny is the color of chestnut skin, and their hair is blond at birth, and then gradually fades to this color in their 20s.

She wears light makeup, does not overdo her eyebrows, and wears a sweater and jeans, looking 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've had breakfast, is Luli delicious?"

"It tastes good." Chen Chuan said in French.

"Mr. Chen understands French? Last time on the phone..." Marion was surprised because the last time she called Chen Chuan, the two spoke English.

Chen Chuan smiled: "A little bit."

Chen Chuan got into her car, she took out a stack of documents, smiled and said, "You need to sign all of these, go to my office or find a cafe?"

When she's not smiling, she has a cool temperament, and when she smiles, she's cute and free and easy, just like many French women I've seen in movies. However, perhaps because Chen Chuan is a big customer, her smile has something different.

After all, Chateau Tourwell is a medium-to-large manor worth 10 million euros. This handsome young man from the East is the new owner of the manor. Those who can buy a manor of 10 million euros should not only have 10 million euros.

Chen Chuan handed the remaining half box of Keluli to Marion. He took the documents and opened them to see that it was the sale contract of the manor and the freehold property rights of the land. The system has paid 10 million yuan, and the money has entered the third party. It can be transferred to the seller only after Chen Chuan's signature.

Chen Chuan felt that there was no need to go to Marion's office or cafe, so he signed in the car and went to the winery to get it.

He took the pen and began to sign one by one.

Marion approached and asked, "Mr. Chen, will Louis continue to manage the winery? If you want to change the management, I can introduce you. Or I will be responsible for recruiting 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 a 10 million euro industry like Tuwell, if it is in Germany, the general manager will get 300,000 euros, even in the Netherlands. 180,000, but here, their annual salary is 110,000 euros." Marion said, "110,000, you can recruit a general manager who has rich experience in winery management, understands winemaking equipment, and can operate independently."

110,000 euros is actually an absolute high annual salary in France.

70% of people, that is about 2000 euros.

"How much do you earn?" Chen Chuan asked her.

“My job is 3,750 euros after taxes, but I work part-time as a wealthy financial advisor, and I still have 2,380 euros in my account every month,” Marion said.

"A beautiful woman like you costs 2,380 euros a month?" Chen Chuan signed all the documents and looked at her, "I'll pay 3,000 euros, will you come and do things for me? I won't come here often, I need your help."

"Then I am very honored, Mr. Chen," Marion said. "I can do a lot. A big man like you really needs a professional financial advisor to help you take care of it here."

Actually, the reason why Chen Chuan hired Marion was mainly because when he contacted him by phone before, he felt that the other party was not bad and his attitude was professional.

However, it was beyond Chen Chuan's expectation that Marion agreed so happily.

"It is said that French women are high-minded, are you being too flattering?" Chen Chuan joked.

"It's not flattery, it's passion and professionalism," she laughs.

"Okay, let me see, does this kind of gold coin have collection value besides being used for repayment?" Chen Chuan handed the box to her.

She saw that Chen Chuan was carrying it with ease, so she misestimated the weight and put the box on her thigh, the heavy pressure made Marion groan, "God. It's so heavy, I can't stand it, take it quickly. on."

"Sorry, I forgot it was heavy." Chen Chuan carried it back, flipped it onto his lap, and opened it.

The lid of the box popped up, and the 2,000 gold coins of the French Collection were gleaming in gold, and the new luster was reflected in the carriage.

“My God, how many gold coins are there in the collection with a face value of 500 euros? 2000?” Marion looked at it in surprise.

She has a good eye, she can calculate the number from the arrangement and the thickness of the box, she is indeed a very smart French woman.

"This kind of gold coin is pure gold and 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, and it is suitable for long-term holding, or It can also be left to future generations. Like the 20-franc gold coin from the Louis XVIII period in 1824, it is now worth nearly 300 euros a piece.” Marion said.

She added: "The kind of gold coins you bought doesn't seem to be issued very much, only 25,000. It 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 gold coins.

However, judging from Marion's expression, it was obvious she was being shown.

"Mr. Chen, shall we go to the winery now?" she asked.

"Let's go." Chen Chuan said.

As for Wang Facai and Da Sakura, they are visiting groups from other wineries reported by the newspaper, and they are not on the way today. Chen Chuan asked Marion and learned that these wineries are not too far away, they are all 10 kilometers outside of Bordeaux.

The car was on the road, and Chen Chuan sat in the co-pilot, watching the pedestrians on the side of the road.

It is said that France is a country of beautiful women. In fact, through observation, Chen Chuan found that the quality of girls is generally not as good as that of Russia. Russian blonde girls have three-dimensional and delicate facial contours, which are in line with the aesthetic tastes of Chinese people.

But the women on the French side are more profound, intellectually beautiful, and have extra points for their elegant temperament. They are really elegant and a little lazy, and they are slow and a little high-minded.

They are more charming with their cigarettes.

Chen Chuan saw a cigarette case in the car.

Comparing Marion and the two Asian girls Wang Facai and Da Sakura who got along with last night, Chen Chuan came to the conclusion that a woman has four kinds of cents: one, unrestrained beauty. Second, the beauty of the wild. Third, the beauty of tenderness. Fourth, graceful beauty.

Generally speaking, women in Western Europe tend to be unrestrained and wild ~IndoMTL.com~ while women in the East tend to be gentle and graceful.

The car was bumping up and down. Although Marion's driving skills were good, she couldn't stand a section of the road after leaving the city was a gravel road. After inquiring, she learned that the road was to be repaired.

Chen Chuan couldn't tell Marion's age, so it's not easy to ask this kind of question face to face. He blindly guessed that she was three or five years older than him.

After 20 minutes of driving, the car stopped in a small village.

Marion said: "The castle at Tourwell Manor is not open to the public. It takes about 10 minutes to get there on foot."

"Walking?"

"Well, it's a walk to the castle, but there's a road to the cellar and the brewery," Marion said.

The two got out of the car and walked towards the castle on foot.

Chen Chuan found that this woman is really a bit noble, walking as if she were a noble queen.
