City's Best Divine Doctor-Chapter 1418 - 1417: The Surrounding Vineyards

By lunchtime, there was a reply from Count Charley; those bat droppings can be cleaned up, but they must be taken away completely.

Ye Qiu had wanted to use them as fertilizer for the Vineyard, but since he wants them taken away, they can be taken away. As long as the cleanup is thorough and maintenance upstairs is done, that’s fine.

If that’s the case, then those matters can be left to Count Charley’s people to handle.

Now, Ye Qiu came out of the Eastern Castle. Although it wasn’t raining anymore, it still felt a bit gloomy. Nevertheless, it was good enough to go out for a stroll.

Coming out of the castle with Song Ying, Zhou Wenting, and Louise, Ye Qiu looked at Song Ying and asked, "Instructor, would you like to ride a horse?"

Horseback riding?

"But I don’t know how to ride." Song Ying had never ridden a horse, so she didn’t know how and was afraid of falling off.

"I can take you for a ride." Ye Qiu knew how to communicate with horses, something Louise and Zhou Wenting were well aware of. Hearing Ye Qiu’s offer, they knew he wanted to take Song Ying for a ride around the area.

When Ye Qiu whistled to the distance, the chestnut-colored horse came galloping over. Compared to before, the horse looked much healthier, fully capable of carrying two people.

Ye Qiu first jumped onto the horse, then extended his hand to pull Song Ying up. Initially, Song Ying felt a bit shy, but seeing the opportunity to ride a horse, she also wanted to give it a try.

Ye Qiu pulled her up and supported her by his side, letting her lean against his waist. With one hand on Song Ying’s waist and the other patting the horse’s rear, the chestnut-colored horse began to run, startling Song Ying. She thought she might fall off.

Unexpectedly, it was very stable, only her heart was racing. Until Ye Qiu slowed the horse to a stop, they had already distanced themselves several hundred meters from Louise and the others.

Song Ying leaned against Ye Qiu’s arms, who was holding her by the waist, enjoying the scent of her hair and the fragrance she exuded, thinking it was really pleasant.

Initially, Song Ying hadn’t noticed anything, but upon realization, she looked at Ye Qiu and said, "You just wanted an excuse to take advantage of me."

Ye Qiu indeed had that thought, but letting Song Ying ride alone was out of the question, and the horse wouldn’t comply either.

"Instructor, how about I get off and let you ride alone!" 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

"No, no, of course not. I wouldn’t dare alone."

Having been taken advantage of by Ye Qiu in this way, what else could she say? In fact, she didn’t mind this closeness, otherwise, she wouldn’t have initiated a kiss with Ye Qiu before.

It just felt like things with Ye Qiu were a bit too forward.

Ye Qiu held Song Ying by the waist and then rode towards the seashore.

Arriving at the shore, Ye Qiu jumped off the horse and helped Song Ying down, saying, "Across there is England."

When she first arrived at the Eastern Castle, Song Ying already knew that, but it had been nighttime and unclear then. Now, during the day, though it was gloomy, she could vaguely make out England across the way.

In reality, it was still quite far. On a clear day, one might see it, but in poor weather, one only senses the vastness of the sea.

"I studied in London for several years, so I’m quite familiar with it over there." Song Ying was an English major; her English carried a London accent, largely due to her time studying there.

But she never imagined she would end up in this place.

"I’ll go fetch Louise and Zhou Wenting."

Ye Qiu mounted the horse again, first bringing Louise over, then Zhou Wenting, although both times it seemed like he was openly seizing the chance to take advantage of the two women.

Anyway, Louise didn’t seem to mind, and while Zhou Wenting seemed to have some opinion, she didn’t say anything.

She only cast a glance at Ye Qiu when he acted a bit too touchy.

"Do you like your instructor?" Zhou Wenting asked, nestled in Ye Qiu’s arms.

She felt that Ye Qiu just liked beautiful women, liking one after another.

Unexpectedly, now there was also an instructor.

"What do you think?"

"Who knows what you’re thinking?"

Ye Qiu held Zhou Wenting tightly, inhaling the fragrance of her hair, and softly heading towards the sea, with Zhou Wenting leaning in, gradually feeling her mood lighten a bit.

Earlier, Zhou Wenting felt a bit jealous, but Ye Qiu never truly regarded her as a girlfriend.

What good was being jealous?

As they reached the seashore, when Ye Qiu helped Zhou Wenting down, she felt that this rascal Ye Qiu had taken the chance to pinch her, causing her face to redden slightly.

"You all watch here, I’m taking the chestnut around for a spin."

Ye Qiu rode away from the beach again, circling around the Eastern Castle and nearby vineyards, contemplating buying all the neighboring vineyards, though uncertain of the cost.

He still had more than two hundred million, theoretically enough to purchase all the nearby vineyards. Once it’s all producing Viscount Red Wine, the investment would return within a year.

Of course, a portion of these wines has already been invested in fashion and perfume sectors, involving considerable funds.

The vast area of vineyards around there is significant, aside from those reserved for Count Charley. There should be others, all privately owned vineyards.

Ye Qiu thought the temperature, humidity, and soil around here should be just right; hence these vineyards likely produced similar-tasting wines unless different grape varieties were grown.

After circling once, returning to the seaside where the three women were taking pictures, Ye Qiu let the chestnut horse graze among other horses. Louise asked, "Qiu, what were you just looking at?"

"I was looking at the neighboring vineyards; I want to buy them all."

"You plan to buy them all to produce Viscount Red Wine?"

"That’s precisely the plan."

Undoubtedly, only a portion of the produced Viscount Red Wine will be sold, with most kept in reserve. Doesn’t matter, as the prices are soaring and the outside market has supply shortages.

"Wonder what the prices of these vineyards are like?"

Land values between domestic and foreign locations are vastly different. Domestically, you only have usage rights with time limitations; however, in foreign places like France, ownership is indefinite as long as it’s not sold, ensuring legacy for descendants. Hence, prices are likely higher.

"It requires appraising the price. Originally, land prices here shouldn’t be expensive, but with Viscount Red Wine produced here, the price might be much higher now. If you’re interested, you could consult with Count Charley to help broker the purchase."
