There is an inconspicuous building on a secluded road near the market, with clear English signs on the arch: Slave Trading Market.

This is the famous place for selling black slaves in American history. More than 300 years ago, thousands of black people were stuffed into boats like animals, and were picked and sold here naked.

The characters like black mothers in "Fenghua" can be seen everywhere on the streets of Charleston: big round eyes, thick lips, fat body, and high butt.

It is said that as long as you spend money, you can find out where your ancestors came from, but most people are unwilling to spend this money, are you crazy? Could it be that you are related to the Queen of England?

However, although the era of buying and selling slaves has long passed, in Charleston, the boundary between blacks and whites is still felt. There are few intermarriages between different skin colors, cultural levels, family income, and residential areas are different. In fact, it is not only Charleston, New York, and Los Angeles, but the racial barriers can never be resolved by bills.

After visiting the famous attractions, Charles took Yang Cheng and the others to his grape estate. Compared with the manor in the west, Charles' manor was a century inferior in size and technology.

There is no way, the climate here is really not suitable for growing grapes. Charleston is a typical subtropical monsoon climate and is not within the range suitable for growing wine grapes.

Currently, the wine production areas distributed around the world are mainly concentrated in areas such as marine climate, Mediterranean climate and continental climate.

The annual average range of marine climate temperatures is relatively low because the summer is warm and the winter is mild. The highest and lowest are not much different. There is a lot of rain, and the grape ripening cycle will be longer at moderate temperatures.

Marine climates are generally close to large water resources, with more clouds and more rainfall in the growing season than Mediterranean and continental climates. They are suitable for planting varieties with medium alcohol and medium alcohol levels, such as Bordeaux in France, Mithcard in France, Xia Bay in Spain and other places.

The annual average range of Mediterranean climate temperatures is also low, because summers are warm and winters are mild, but summers are very dry, with the main rainfall concentrated in winter.

This dry and sunny weather during the growing season is suitable for most grape varieties, especially some red wines with rich body, plump structure and mature tannins.

This condition covers the entire Mediterranean region, as well as the West Coast of the United States, most of Chile, many places in southeastern Australia, and some places in South Africa.

The annual average range of temperatures in continental climates is very high, because summers are hot and cold in winters, which are mostly inland areas, far away from the oceans, such as Mendoza, Argentina, and central Europe.

For example, Champagne, northern Germany, etc., the daytime is long, but the autumn cools rapidly, the grapes grow in shorter seasons, and less sunshine and heat, so it is only suitable for early ripening varieties such as Riesling and Nopinno.

The risk of mold in continental climates is low, so it can be picked late, which can allow grapes to mature in longer autumn and produce certain effects of Mediterranean climates. In addition, cold climate conditions make the taste ingredients more concentrated, and the white varieties that are picked late have a higher potential alcohol content and can make sweet wine.

Tropical and subtropical climates are the least suitable for the growth of high-quality grapes. Although some production areas are located in mild or near the ocean latitudes, such as Charleston, due to the lack of dormant period in winter, carbohydrates cannot accumulate, so the life cycle of wine is shortened and good wine cannot be produced through aging.

Such climatic conditions almost blocked the possibility of growing grapes in Charleston.

But the situation faced by Charles forced him to make changes. Traditional plantations have no way to make money. At present, only grapes can produce economic benefits. However, Charleston is another place that is not suitable for growing grapes.

This is also the reason why Charles keeps running around. Since Charleston is not suitable for planting, go to other places to plant it.

While visiting the vineyard, Charles asked about Yang Cheng’s recent situation. The last time the two met by chance on the West Coast, they didn’t know what the result was.

Yang Cheng said, "All the ones that should be acquired have been acquired. My team is currently contacting Baizilian Manor in Chile. Fast-sale wine must increase its production."

Charles asked, "Is it a Baizilian, one of the top ten wineries in Chile? I have drunk their wine, which is very suitable for young people."

"That's right, but my positioning of Baizilian is to appear in restaurants, not supermarket shelves. In addition, Baizilian may become the main force in the future to compete in the Z country market."

Charles made a different view, "Go to Country Z? The wine market there is too messy~"

Yang Cheng said, "Before Hollywood entered Country Z, the film market there was also very chaotic, and there was almost no future type. But what about you watching now? It is a matter of time before replacing the United States and becoming the world's largest market."

Charles shook his head, "I think it's more difficult. People in Z don't have a high acceptance of wine~"

Yang Cheng waved his hand, "This is a matter of habit, because most consumers have little understanding of wine, which makes it difficult to judge the value of a certain wine. Moreover, there are many wine brands and the price is often not transparent, which undoubtedly increases the difficulty of consumers' purchasing.

So there are two extremes. Those who buy cheap wines only want to be cheap. These consumers think that wines are similar, and the cheaper the higher the cost performance. Therefore, there are many extremely low-priced wines on the market, most of which are extremely low-quality wines or even grape juice or alcohol-made wines;

For those who buy high-priced wines, these consumers lack the ability to appreciate and buy wines based on the concept of the more expensive the better. Therefore, there are many "high-end" wines on the market that are expensive but have very low actual costs.

Of course, the fundamental reason for all this is that it does not have a long tradition of drinking wine like that of European and American countries, and in Country Z, the market share of liquor far exceeds that of other liquors.

But the market can be cultivated slowly. I have the patience and time to wait for the market to mature. In fact, I think this stage has accelerated in Country Z."

Charles thought something, and he felt that Yang Cheng's words gave him new ideas. At the beginning, he considered the quality of wine more because in Europe and the United States, wines cannot be sold if they are not of good quality.

But what if it is sold to Country Z? This bad idea arose, making him dare not look at Yang Cheng.
