Chapter 725 710. Profitable Wine (15)

Alexander introduced Wang Bo around, and basically knew everyone at the scene, and then he went to entertain others and asked Wang Bo to chat with anyone he wanted.

Accompanied by Alan Luzel, he knew that Wang Bo might not be able to remember the names and identities of these people because he was introduced too quickly, so he came here to help him.

This kind of party needs to be thick-skinned. Unless the background is very strong and the status is very high, otherwise no one will take the initiative to talk to you, because everyone has gathered in a small circle, and you have to take the initiative to join the circle.

Eva's side is easy to handle. When women talk about cosmetics, they also talk about clothing. She just finds a group of people and expresses her views on a certain cosmetic to find a topic.

For Wang Bo, it is not easy to find a topic, because this is a gathering initiated by the leader of the Green Party. Most of the people present are members of the Green Party. The topics discussed are related to the political party, so he is not easy to intervene.

Fortunately, he searched the Internet for information on these topics while on the road, but he could barely understand what they were talking about.

He turned around and listened, and found that most people were talking about the Green Party's participation in the general election.

New Zealand's Green Party has developed rapidly in the past two years, and its support rate in election polls has been rising step by step.

The reason why everyone is talking about the general election this time is that after the ruling New Zealand National Party broke out some political scandals that were not good for the election, the National Party’s biggest competitor, the New Zealand Labor Party, did not get much support. On the contrary, the Green Party The third largest party has seen a notable rise in support.

In particular, not long ago, the Green Party called out the policy that "students take buses for free during off-peak hours", which attracted strong attention from New Zealand student organizations, and the support rate was even higher.

That Qingyang is more suitable than him to enter the political circle, he is too embarrassed to intervene casually, that Qingyang has already made a move.

By saying "I will talk about my humble opinion", then Qingyang got the opportunity to express their opinions. The people present are all qualified, have status, and they are very friendly on the surface. Anyone can express their opinions.

The reason why Lao Wang couldn't get involved was mainly because he was not very interested in political topics and didn't know much. He felt that in this kind of situation, silence was golden, and the more he spoke, the more mistakes he made.

Thanks to Alan for his company, Pharaoh chose to take a walk by himself.

People kept saying hello to him on the road. He dealt with it very well, but it was limited to dealing with it, and he didn't deliberately make friends with anyone.

Of course, if someone came up to chat with him, he would not neglect them, he responded politely, and he was well versed in the party's three no's strategy of 'no flattery, no arrogance, and no pretense'.

It got dark quickly, and the yard was lit with snow-white lights, but the weather was a bit cold, so the party participants moved to the restaurant.

Local tyrants are indeed different from local tyrants. There is a huge banquet hall in the villa, which has long European-style dining tables. The main dining table must be 20 meters long!

The lights in the restaurant were as bright as day, but candles were still lit on the table, and dozens of waiters shuttled through it, constantly putting large and small shiny plates on the table.

These dinner plates are covered with a meal cover, and before they are opened, there is a smell of meat, which makes people appetite.

Alexander walked past Wang Bo and said with a smile, "Do you think the smell of meat is a bit familiar?"

Old Wang was startled, and then thought of the meaning of his words: "Is this beef from my pasture?"

The smell of beef and mutton are not the same when they are made into steaks. He has already smelled the smell of beef.

Alexander nodded with a smile on his face: "Yes, the beef and mutton produced by your Sunset Ranch has become popular in Christchurch now. It's really delicious. Now my children only eat meat from your ranch."

"There is a premise that you can afford such a high price. I really hope that the price is lower. It costs 200 New Zealand dollars to eat a pound of beef, which is really unacceptable." The person next to him joked.

Wang Bo looked at him, and the man stretched out his hand to re-introduce: "Hi, I'm Truman..."

"Mr. Truman-Peter, South Island seafood tycoon, freight tycoon, you don't need to re-introduce yourself, I remember clearly, in fact, I have heard about you many times in the news before."

"Really, what do you know about me?" Truman looked at Wang Bo with great interest.

Old Wang smiled and said, "I understand your acquisition process of Tula Cargo Group. It was really a classic merger and acquisition process."

He had nothing to do just now, so he searched the Internet for the deeds of some people who participated in the party, which happened to have an introduction of this freight tycoon.

Truman has just been promoted to a freight tycoon. He was mainly engaged in seafood transportation and sales before. He made a fortune from this, and then acquired New Zealand's top ten freight group Tula Shipping.

The two were sitting next to each other, and they both sat at the main table. Eva and Little Lolita sat on Wang Bo's left, Alexander and his wife took their seats, and the others followed.

At this time, a waiter came up with a crystal bottle and asked what drink he wanted. His position was not far from the main seat. Alexander said to him: "I suggest you try our No. 81 wine. I bet you will fall in love with it." It's the taste."

Truman added: "Wine No. 81 is a ten-year-old wine produced by Mr. Alexander's own estate. It is difficult to buy it if you want to buy it."

"The price is much more expensive than beef, which is ten to twenty times the price of beef of equal weight." This is more realistic, and it gave Lao Wang an intuitive unit to measure the wine.

Wang Bo was surprised, so expensive?

Naturally, he and Eva drank wine, and little Lolita got a glass of milk.

"Can I drink something else? Drink milk all day." The little girl asked Eva with a wrinkled face.

Eva helped her put on the napkin and said, "Then I'll replace it with clear water like the army commander's."

"Forget it, I'd better drink milk. Drinking milk gives you strength, and only with strength can you dominate the first grade of the school!"

It was time to start the meal. Alexander knocked on the porcelain plate with a silver spoon. Pharaoh laughed in a low voice. This kind of behavior is strictly prohibited in his hometown. He did this when he was a child, and he was beaten up by Bo Dae, saying that only beggars beg for food. Just knock the bowl like this.

But in a large gathering of Western food, this is an acceptable behavior, aimed at attracting everyone's attention, and it can be regarded as a signal to eat.

"Thank you for participating in the party held by me and Vajona..." Alexander gave a pre-dinner reception speech, thanked everyone briefly, and raised his glass.

As the voice of "Thank God for giving me food" fell, everyone began to taste the wine.

Wang Bo took a sip, the taste was slightly astringent. He felt that it was not lubricated enough, so he winked at Eva and said in a low voice, "How is this wine? I'm used to beer, so I don't think it tastes so good."

Eva hesitated and said, "I actually don't know much about wine tasting. To be honest, I don't feel very good."

"Let's go back and grow our own grapes and make good wine!" Old Wang said determinedly. It would be a waste if the vegetable garden is empty, and planting fruits should be effective, and he will earn a fortune by making wine.
