"Mr Lucas, you should know how I handle my investments is none of your business. The fact is they didn't pay me a penny because I was an investor in their hotel and winery business. It's obvious, so as I said, later my people who brought letters from me will inspect your estate and start organizing their workers. I think it's clear... I'm reminding you promised me to complete your asset transfer on January 15, but my people will start taking care of the estate this Sunday Mr. Lucas. It clear? Zia Minetti you can take over from here..." The phone was disconnected later.
"Thank you Mr. Bova. Well Valeria, you don't serve me a little tea, we've been neighbors for decades..."
Valerie's wife Lucas looked at her husband, they did not expect that the one who appeared was Mom.
"Ohh yes meet the handsome guy beside me this is Guilio Berutti. Uhmm you know Berutti no, ... He's also our investor." They just look at each other.
"Auntie, let's go for a walk. What matters is that we've asked the old homeowner for permission, ..."
"You're right, dear Guilio, I won't be cruel to you. If you come here and the house is flattened I'll just entertain you in our new restaurant later. But only once... After that, of course, you have to pay."
"Monica, baby, you can work...." Mom's done showing off apparently.
"Both Mamma, Mr. Lucas, later Antonio will go back and forth on the plantation to take care of the land, also bring the workers to pruning. But they won't bother you, new construction work will start after you move. Thanks for the help, Mr. Lucas." Antonio salutes Mr. Lucas.
Lucas didn't say anything now, apparently still too surprised. I took Antonio and Roberto to their fields and checked the conditions myself without disturbing them again.
"Your mom is so happy..."
"Yes, yeah,... Lucas used to quip Mama, they never got along before, you know neighbors mostly like to fight. Last Mama mentioned because she called me a hardworking widow, her daughter was going to marry a rich man. Mamma you know for yourself, she's very offended if someone offends me as a widow. So now look at her happily replying to Lucas."
"It turns out so..."
"Especially later if he finds out,..." He stopped later.
"nothing. You guys done checking?"
"It has, as we imagined, been treated not so well, some of it has had to be rejuvenated. I plan to diversify indeed, there will be parts that I will really dismantle later. This area will be a tourist area anyway."
"Your work seems to be very much, don't be too tired." He looked at me with sympathy. I smiled.
"I'm excited, how can I be tired, just calm down Guilio. My head is full of all sorts of things now."
"Alright, get excited..."

I don't know what's going on but the reports are getting worse than I expected. From the initial inspection on the front yesterday was pretty good but on the back lane it was very ugly. Due to poor maintenance and poor control, I had to rejuvenate 40% of the land. That's a lot, a new wine can bear fruit should wait at least 3 years, now my mood is bad to hear the word 40%.
"This much?" The pictures given by Roberto gave me a headache.
"At the back of it's pretty bad, miss, look at this mushroom scar, you want to keep it on, it'll probably drop below 40%, if you wear it too. We better cut the sick part first better. This is the back of the tourist can't walk too far here."
"Well, I have to focus first on the new hotel and restaurant. The middle part I still want to change the variety."
I'm afraid my first year's report is insignificant. What if it doesn't live up to expectations.
Sitting in a restaurant that is not too many people because it has not been dinner, making a recalculation projection again and I am not happy with the results. 40% Jesus, fucking Lucas! He gave me a headache.
