Chapter 1773 A Good Wine

Which of the two versions of the story is true and which is false, I am afraid no one except the person involved can tell clearly.

But no matter what, the Gallo family has made outstanding contributions to the after-dinner conversation of people in New York and even the United States. For this reason, Roy Gallo must be honored at tomorrow's banquet.

After drinking with Sol until dawn, Yang Cheng simply fell asleep here. There were plenty of rooms anyway, and he slept all day long. At night, he took Sol's car and went to the Palace Hotel for a banquet.

All the luxury cars in New York are out tonight. It stands to reason that Roy Gallo is not so famous that he can let all the people in New York attend his banquet, but his last name is too magical. In this country where entertainment is paramount. , you can't get along without a bit of gossip spirit. Unless you have something to do, you can't come to such an occasion, but almost everyone who is free comes.

This also caused the streets around the Palace Hotel to be blocked an hour before the banquet started. They were moving at a very fast speed of several meters per minute. If you look down from the air, you will find that there are countless traffic queues with the Palace Hotel as the center. Spreading out, it is as gorgeous as fire trees and silver flowers.

Yang Cheng and Sol were chatting in the back seat of a Rolls-Royce. Yang Cheng said, "I was just thinking about whether to buy a copyright from Roy Gallo and buy their family's story." There must be a market for adaptation, whether it is a movie or a TV series~"

Sol said with a smile, "That's a good idea. I know him. I'll help you tell him later. Even if he doesn't sell it, you can still do it. At most, it's just a different name. Anyone who should know knows who it is mapped to."

Yang Cheng hummed, "This Roy inherited the cheese company?"

"Yes, he inherited his father's cheese company, but he prefers winemaking. According to him, it is an innate talent. He has never given up on the craft of winemaking over the years, and has produced several good wines."

Yang Cheng was surprised, "Wine? I thought it was their ancestral liquor~"

"Don't be kidding, the process and unique skills of liquor are all in the hands of his two uncles, and he has no part in it at all. However, his wine still bears the 'Gallo' logo."

"His two uncles didn't hold him accountable?"

"No, because he's not making any money, there's no point chasing him. If the sales are good, he'll probably come to his door soon and ask him to share the profits, or take off the 'Gallo' logo."

"Well, regardless of whether the rumors are true or not, I don't have a good impression of the two brothers' attitude towards their families~"

"Yes, I think so too,

But it’s still a family matter, so outsiders like us, it’s better not to talk too much, just listen to the stories and have a good time~”

. . .

The Palace Hotel has not been so lively for a long time. As a veteran star hotel in Manhattan, the Palace Hotel in the past was undoubtedly the most upscale symbol, because it used to be the residence of the Willard family.

After finally driving near the hotel, they were told by the roadside guide that the parking lot was full and they could only park on the roadside. Yang Cheng and Sol had no choice but to get out of the car and walk the last distance.

There was originally an invitation letter, but too many people came today, many of whom came with relatives and friends. The invitation letter lost its validity, and no one even checked it. Everyone who came was just a guest, so we just welcomed them in together.

Yang Cheng glanced over, not to mention the huge crowds of people with red flags waving, but at least the pits and valleys were full of people, and many of them looked familiar. Also, Manhattan was so big, and the circle of upper class society had shrunk to the extreme. Who wouldn't Who do you know?

From the moment he walked in, several people had stopped Yang Cheng to say hello. Even if he didn't receive an invitation, he still had to find a way to participate in such an occasion. How could these people miss such an opportunity to make higher-level connections?

After finally dealing with a few people who came forward to look familiar, Saul pulled Yang Cheng forward and said as he walked, "Damn it, if there is any disaster here today, the entire New York economy will collapse."

Yang Cheng pursed his lips at a distance, "New York? It should be all over the United States..."

The direction he pointed was where a group of Wall Street bosses gathered. If this group of people were to die, the U.S. stock market would collapse, and even the eight founding comrades would not be able to save the situation.

Yang Cheng said, "Stop squeezing, go over and say hello~"

There is no way, there are all acquaintances over there, you can't just pretend to turn a blind eye, right?

The first person I found was a bald man, and his forehead looked brighter than the crystal chandelier above his head.

"Hey Lloyd, long time no see~"

The bald head turned around when he heard the sound and immediately gave Yang Cheng a warm hug, "Hey, good evening. Are you coming to join in the fun?"

Yang Cheng laughed softly and said, "Of course, how could such a lively occasion be without me~"

Just as Lloyd was about to speak, he heard Sol say in a sinister tone, "Lloyd, your head is still so bright~"

"Thor~" Lloyd called his name helplessly.

"Stop it, I don't want to listen to your nonsense. If it weren't for Jason, I wouldn't be bothered to talk to you Wall Street vampires."

His hatred of Wall Street is as deep as the waters of the Atlantic Ocean.

Lloyd is also a veteran among Wall Street vampires. There is no way he can be the boss of Goldman Sachs.

Yang Cheng smiled awkwardly and greeted Gary on the side. This was the chief operating officer of Goldman Sachs. It was worth it for Roy Gallo to have two big guys from Goldman Sachs attend.

Just meeting Yang Cheng, Lloyd asked, "When will your New Era Media go public? You know that the entire Wall Street is paying attention to your company."

Yang Cheng smiled lightly, "There's no rush, the main thing is that we are not short of money, and we will pay dividends to shareholders at the end of this year."

Goldman Sachs is also a small shareholder of New Era Media. As long as they can make money, it doesn't matter whether it is listed or not. However, Lloyd still said euphemistically, "I think we should step up our actions. To be honest, seeing you and Jamie's The relationship is so good, I’m even jealous~”

This is both a joke and a reminder to Yang Cheng not to forget Goldman Sachs. JP Morgan is not the only one on Wall Street!

What else could Yang Cheng say? All I can say is, "We will have the opportunity to play ball together in the future~"

"Let's play sailing together. I'm tired of playing golf. I recently bought a sailing boat."

"in New York?"

"No, no, it's too cold in New York, here in Miami~"

"Okay, let's go out to sea if we have a chance~"

This occasion was not suitable for further conversation, so the two of them stopped talking with a tacit understanding.

Next, Yang Cheng met Abigail Johnson, CEO of Fidelity Group. As the third generation head of the Johnson family and the granddaughter of founder Edward Johnson II, Abigail’s influence in the American financial world His strength is no less powerful than Lloyd's.

Moreover, her style is more sharp and capable. After just a few words of conversation, she asked for the issuance of stocks for Yang Cheng's company, and even used the woman's "messy" trick. Yang Cheng would not be able to leave tonight unless he nodded. The momentum coming out of this door.

Fortunately, Roy Gallo's appearance interrupted Abigail's words, which made Yang Cheng extremely grateful and decided to buy a few boxes of wine to support her.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I didn't expect everyone to support me so much. Welcome to come~"

Roy Gallo looks to be about the same age as Sol, but compared to Sol's muscles, Roy can almost be described as skinny.

Of course, he has a rosy complexion. Apart from being thin, he seems to be in good health, and he speaks with confidence.

"Of course, I know that most of the people here are here to listen to the stories, but no matter what, as long as you can come, you are my guest. Please allow me to express my gratitude to you~"

There was a chuckle in the audience. No doubt, his confession aroused everyone's goodwill.

"Before telling the story, I would like to treat you all to a drink. After all, this is the main purpose of this banquet tonight."

As his voice fell, a line of uniformed waiters emerged from a corner of the venue. Each of them dragged a plate with one hand. There were 8 goblets on the plate, each of which contained three points. One of the red wines.

While the waiter was serving wine to the guests, Roy stood on the stairs and introduced, "As we all know, 2010 was a complicated year for the wine industry. Although the process was a little tortuous, it ushered in gratifying results. .

I still remember the mixed emotions of that year, sometimes surprised and sometimes worried, because the past three years had been dry weather, but this year rain finally returned to Napa Valley and kicked off the growing season.

Grape buds, flowers and fruit set were all two weeks earlier than in previous years. The clouds and mist brought by the rain allowed the vines to escape the spring frost.

Summer is cooler than usual, but winegrowers need to remain vigilant to prevent the threat of mold and pests.

I originally thought this year would be smooth sailing, but in late August, we encountered two days of extremely hot weather. The grapevine canopy was thin and unable to withstand the scorching sun, so that some grapes in some areas suffered varying degrees of sunburn.

In this way, I spent August with fear, and finally ushered in September, which turned my worries into joy. The particularly cool weather returned to the vineyards, but this weather did not last long before the Indian summer came, and Lasting for a longer period of time, this gives the grapes a wonderful flavor and deep color.

The harvest season came late and short, and the overall yield was not high, but the fruit flavor was concentrated and the quality was pleasing. I cried with joy because this style can produce better wines. I did countless experiments and finally found it. This Gallo wine made from a brand new grape combination is the most satisfying one in my winemaking career.

Now, after 5 years of aging, it has reached its best drinking period. Please taste it. "

Yang Cheng just took the wine from the waiter and shook it gently in his hand. The purple-red wine was noble and charming. He could smell a fresh fruity aroma without using any force to smell it. He raised his head slightly and sipped. After taking a sip, as Roy said, the aroma of the grapes is very concentrated, but the taste is very complex, with clear layered structure and elegant texture. This is a typical Bordeaux style.
