The Rise of Australia

Butler Hunter's intention is very simple. Anyway, the wine estate only costs about 100,000 pounds a year, which is a drop in the bucket for Arthur, who has already been worth hundreds of millions of pounds.

Even if the wine produced by the winery in recent years cannot occupy the European market, it can barely survive by relying on the Australian market.

Especially in the current chaotic situation in Europe, once a war breaks out among European countries, or something unexpected happens, causing the production of European wineries to decrease, it is time for Arthur's winery to seize the market.

At worst, by going low-end red wine, it can also occupy the market in Australia and even Southeast Asia and East Asia to achieve the purpose of profit.

After all, Europe is now the most dazzling pearl in the world, and Westernized things are very popular with people in other regions, not to mention the wines that are widely sought after by European nobles.

This is the comparison psychology of ordinary people, thinking that foreign things are always better than domestic ones.

"Yeah." Arthur nodded, agreeing with Butler Hunter's point of view.

"Your Highness, our winery includes a square, a showroom, a winery, a vineyard, a storage area and an underground wine cellar. The maximum production is expected to reach more than 4,400 barrels per year. According to the capacity of barrels, we can produce more than 39,000 barrels of wine per year. If it is packaged in bottles, we can produce more than 6 million bottles." Butler Hunter explained to Arthur with a smile.

Barrels are a common wine barrel packaging in the UK. In the UK, even low-end wines cost several pounds per barrel, and the more expensive ones are more than ten pounds.

Even if the red wine produced by Arthur's winery is only sold for five pounds per barrel, it can basically maintain a balance between income and expenditure.

If it is sold in bottles, the profit is even greater. Most bottled wines are labeled as high-end, so the price is more expensive than barreled wines of the same weight.

Generally speaking, a barrel of wine can be sold for ten pounds, but if it is divided into hundreds of 750 ml bottles, each bottle can be sold for more than three shillings. The price of the same volume of wine has more than doubled.

At present, the maximum production of the winery can fully meet Australia's consumption. At least before Australia's per capita annual income has not ushered in a higher growth, Arthur's winery can stock up a large amount of red wine every year.

"Uncle Hunter, when can we drink wine?" Patricia asked impatiently.

Butler Hunter looked at Patricia and Margaret's expectant look, and said with a smile: "The grapes will mature in August, plus the time for winemaking, I'm afraid the two little princes will have to wait until at least the end of September to drink the red wine produced by our new winery."

Hearing Butler Hunter's words, Patricia and Margaret were disappointed and felt dissatisfied with the waiting time.

"Well, aren't there still a lot of red wine brought from England? Those red wines are enough for you to last until October." Princess Louise looked at her two daughters unhappily and said with a smile.

In fact, Patricia and Margaret didn't want to drink new wines, they were just curious about new wines.

The red wines Arthur brought back from England were all high-end red wines produced in Duke Arthur's winery before, with a total of about one thousand bottles.

In addition, there were only Princess Louise and two sisters in the royal family besides Arthur, so the consumption of wine was actually very small. After drinking for several months, there were still more than nine hundred bottles.

"Oh!" Seeing their mother start to teach them a lesson, Margaret and Patricia hurriedly hid behind Arthur and replied reluctantly.

"Let's go and visit the winery." Arthur rescued his two sisters in time and said with a smile.

Hearing Arthur say this, Margaret and Patricia hurried back to their mother and began to tour the scenery of the entire manor.

It must be said that the geographical environment of the entire winery is very superior. It is located on a hill and overlooks the water. There is a small hill behind the winery, which has sufficient sunshine and is more suitable for the growth of grapevines.

In front of the winery is a clear river, which runs through the square in front of the winery. The river is clear and you can occasionally see groups of fish swimming by.

Such a superior geographical environment is very suitable for building a winery, let alone a holiday manor.

Although it is summer, the cool breeze and the sound of the stream in his ears make Arthur linger.

"Your Highness, I specially built a small manor in the winery, close to our fruit tree planting area, and there is a stream in front. Seeing that it is summer, although the government building is spacious, it is very hot. In my opinion, Your Highness can temporarily live in the manor, first to avoid the heat of summer, and second to make the two little princes less boring." Butler Hunter suggested.

When selecting the site for the winery, Butler Hunter noticed the excellent geographical environment.

It is backed by mountains and water, and behind it is a small basin, surrounded by mountains on three sides and water on one side. It is a perfect address for a holiday manor.

Therefore, Butler Hunter took the initiative to plan the best land inside the winery and built a small manor for Arthur and the royal family.

Although the area of ​​the manor is not large, its geographical location and natural environment are absolutely excellent, and it is a good place to escape the summer heat.

Seeing the excitement in the eyes of the two sisters, Arthur smiled and said, "Has the manor been successfully built?"

"Of course, Your Highness." Butler Hunter nodded and said, "The manor was built together with the winery. The construction of the manor has been completed. You only need to move the furniture in and you can move in."

"Let's go and take a look." Arthur also became interested and said with a smile.

In major European monarchies, the royal family has its own private estate. Even some royal families with relatively powerful powers often own multiple or even more than ten private estates.

The function of these manors is to provide temporary residence, travel and rest for the royal family when living in the palace is not comfortable.

Take the British royal family as an example. Queen Victoria owns countless estates, the more famous of which include Balmoral Castle, Buckingham Palace, Windsor Castle, Holyrood Palace, Clarence House, Kensington Palace, St. James Palace, Hampton Court Palace, Sandringham Manor and other luxurious estates, and even the annual holiday destination is difficult to choose.

But so far, the Australian royal family only has one residence, the National Government Building, which looks very shabby and crude. This is why Hunter, as the royal housekeeper, wants to build a manor here.

The second update is to test the waters and advance to the next level, which cannot be achieved without everyone's support. The author will work harder to update, and I ask for your continued support, thank you! Please vote, please collect, please invest, please support!
