Red Obsession Page #7

at least for one more

century, I think -

even if we make mistakes, and

sure we will make mistakes.

After a few tumultuous years,

China's love affair with Bordeaux

appears to be on the wane.

There will always

be a clash of cultures.

There will always be.

My parents who come from

Chinese background

and English background

have been married for 50 years

and we call it an ongoing civil war.

There is always going to be differences

in the way people approach problems,

in the way people deal with each other,

and I think my advice to most

Western companies coming here

is, "Don't forget, it's China,

"and things work differently here. "

I see this happen all the time -

you get lots and lots of conflict

between people coming in here

and expecting things to work

like they do in the rest of the world.

And they don't. They really work

with Chinese characteristics.

Wine is like a message

which you send over the world.

I think it's better than those

little... How do you call that?

Tweets, you call that?

Yes, it's a tweet.

It will end on a table,

let's say in Seattle,

and you can imagine a couple

is meeting for one evening,

a guy is dating a charming

girl for the first time

and they have that.

And from the quality of that bottle

may depend the success of

their first meeting, you know.

And if I spoil their evening,

what a drama, you know -

I am responsible.

So our wines should

be as good as possible.

We need to please people, and

not to impress them to please.

I don't know if I

should say I am a farmer,

I should say, "We are farmers,"

because we are really together

and we think sometimes

we control a lot but...

...we don't.
