I'm A Baller

Chapter 354: Another Fool [Asking for Votes]

The host stepped down, and a bearded white man named He Wei came up and introduced himself as the chief winemaker of Perrier-Jouët.

The guy spoke English with a strong oyster flavor, which made Mr. Wang feel particularly friendly.

I can’t understand it, but others also have trouble listening. Rounding it off proves that my English level is average!

Wang Yan actually studies English very hard, but the time is still short. At his current level, he can read simple news, but his listening and speaking skills are quite weak.

Miraculously, He Miaomiao could understand it.

"Is it strange?"

The eldest lady is being arrogant again.

"A typical southern French accent. Hervé is probably from the Roussillon-Provence area. He speaks Oy and French on a daily basis, but the grape growing area for this wine is White Coast, France..."

Can't understand!

Yes, Brother Emotion is a bastard...

Young Master Wang held up his position and nodded proudly, feeling a little ashamed in his heart - being insulted by such a stupid idiot!

My mood was particularly unpleasant, so I started to commit suicide again.

"Miaomiao, how many languages ​​can you call daddy in?"

"You bastard! Let's just talk about it!"

The eldest lady pinched the back of Wang Yan's hand hard - it was still resting on her knee, which was very convenient.

"Look at your uneducated stupidity! The pronunciation of father in all languages ​​is similar. Do you think it is a formal noun like father? It doesn't have the same pronunciation?"

"Uh...yeah..."

Young Master Wang was a little dumbfounded by the blow.

humiliation!

So humiliating!

As soon as he defined the eldest lady as stupid and sweet, she was crushed by her IQ. I will not be a loser unless I take revenge!

Young Master Wang calmly moved his hand up again - a few centimeters.

Then, my back suddenly became so painful that I sweated.

Silly Baitian has killed you!

It was like being pinched by pliers, it was hard for her to be so strong.

Obediently put your hands away and go get the wine.

Today, the organizer provided four fine champagnes for guests to taste.

Belle Epoque Blanc de Blancs 2002 vintage Champagne;

Belle Epoque 2004 vintage 1.5 liter Champagne;

Rose Grand Brut Champagne;

Belle Epoque 2007 vintage limited edition Champagne.

Four different types of champagne are paired with different dishes and drinkable at different times and occasions.

Western food is very particular about the selection and matching of table wines, which is an important part of catering culture.

For example, a dry type with high acidity and fruity aroma is best used as a pre-dinner aperitif.

Blanc de Blancs goes well with veal.

The 2004 vintage goes well with seafood.

The highlight is of course the last one, the 2007 vintage limited edition.

Fresh and refreshing, with complex tonality and long-lasting aroma, it is very satisfying to drink dry or paired with caviar, oysters, foie gras and other dishes.

The so-called drink pairing is definitely not a trick or a gimmick.

After a real comparison, you will find that champagne, red wine and even white wine with different acidity and different flavors will indeed work with food to form a more complex taste.

Just like having skewers on the street in the summer evening, it must be paired with cold beer. Drinking Maotai is not good at all.

So this is a science, and it is by no means an elaborate one.

He Wei started running around the place, followed by the translator, sharing his wine tasting experience with the guests.

In the meantime, there are some quite interesting interactive links.

For example, ask a guest to blindly guess four wines, and if he is correct, he will be rewarded.

For example, ask a guest to talk about their tasting experience.

There are also Chinese food masters who have shared Chinese dishes that are suitable for pairing.

As well as some tips on storing and drinking champagne.

Wang Yan followed Chief He's lead and ate and drank. He felt that he had gained a lot and learned something new.

As a male god, there is no end to learning.

Finally, when the appetizers were almost eaten and the main course was served, the main event officially began.

“I believe everyone has witnessed the performance of the 2007 limited edition Champagne.

Then China Mainland will sell a total of 300 bottles in a limited edition, 150 of which will be reserved for our old friends of Perrier-Jouët, dealers in various provinces and regions.

For the remaining 150 bottles, each guest present will automatically get the opportunity to buy one bottle at a low price.

A total of 90 VIPs, each with a bottle, totaling 90 bottles.

For the last 60 bottles, we will have a small interaction - simply hold a small auction.

6 bottles are one piece, a total of 10 pieces, and the auction is 10 rounds.

A single bottle is priced at RMB 1,800, with a starting price of RMB 10,800. The minimum price increase is RMB 100 each time, with no upper limit.

Since all of you present are business celebrities with strong financial resources, and it won’t hurt your muscles to win them all, we can only make a small restriction——

Each person can only take one photo.

Okay, that’s the end of the chatter, let’s get started!

The first auction item, everyone, you can bid, just raise your hands and call the price. "

When the main scene finally came, He Miaomiao looked depressed, pursed her lips, and looked very unhappy.

No need to ask, Wang Yan knew what was going on.

He smiled and comforted: "It's already a lot to be able to take two 12-bottle items. How can the organizer let you wrap up such cheap items?"

Bahua is indeed not expensive. The total price of 300 bottles is only 540,000 yuan. It’s not much money to quadruple the price.

More importantly, champagne is not actually a wine with great appreciation potential. The storage period is only two to five years, unlike top-quality dry reds, which often need to be stored for 20 to 30 years before reaching their peak.

Drink it as soon as you buy it, and it is best to drink up the new wine within two years, which is the true meaning of Champagne.

Therefore, this kind of wine cannot be sold at a high price and has no collection value. It is bought for self-drinking. There is no need for the eldest lady to buy so much.

"But I really like the 07 bottle..."

He Miaomiao was still pouting, with a pitiful expression.

There is no need to act coquettishly, but it is more lethal than other girls taking the initiative to act coquettishly - the justice of appearance.

Wang Yan just laughed: "You only like bottles when it comes to love? I'll give you all my 7 bottles of wine after you drink them, okay?"

"No! Give it to me directly, no drinking!"

It's rare for her to be a bit unruly, so of course Father Wang has to pamper her.

"Okay, okay, give it to me directly!"

"Hmph! You must be good!"

The eldest lady is finally happy, but Young Master Wang is not happy anymore.

what's up?

Why is it that Jie Yatou is always confused about the superiority and inferiority?

Because the relationship is messy.

Wang Yan thought he was the eldest daughter's father, but the little princess regarded him as a breeder, which was totally inappropriate!

Judging from the current misalignment situation, it will take a lot of effort to break in.

Whether the east wind prevails over the west wind, or whether the west wind overpowers the east wind, it will be difficult to say in the future.

While chatting, the first piece of champagne had already been auctioned for 22,800 yuan, and the bidding was still very lively.

He Miaomiao glanced at it and ignored it.

Who can bear with such protracted sawing?

This princess, I want to make the final decision when I take action!

The price continued to soar to 45,000 before it began to show signs of immobility.

He Miaomiao finally raised her hand and shouted out a sky-high price: "Sixty thousand!"

Of course, 60,000 yuan is not much, and a two-night stay in the Sinan Mansion is more than enough, but considering the value of the wine itself, it is already a six-fold premium at this moment.

For a champagne that can only be drunk and has no collectible value, the price is quite outrageous.

However, even so, there are still people and young ladies bidding.

Today's guests are generally wealthy, and the premise of the limited-edition auction of 60 bottles is not outrageous.

"65,000."

The person bidding was a middle-aged lady with heavy makeup, but it could no longer hide the marks left by the years. She was wearing a Chanel high-end dress, which cost at least hundreds of thousands.

Neither the skirt nor the offer of 65,000 can scare the young lady.

"100,000!"

With a casual shout, it jumped directly to 6 figures, and he looked like he was bound to win.

The lady was stunned for a moment, then looked back at He Miaomiao, carefully looking at her face, earrings, shawl, and dress, and then turned back silently.

give up.

"One hundred thousand once!"

The host was overjoyed. It was completely unexpected that the price could be achieved.

"100,000 twice!"

"100,000...three times! Deal! Congratulations to that lady..."

He Miaomiao didn't even listen to what was said on the stage. She lowered her head and took out the card, waiting for the waiter to bring the POS machine.

The second photo shoot started immediately on the stage.

Wang Yan didn't wait for anyone else to call out the price, and shouted directly: "100,8000."

The host was stunned and was stunned for a moment before he came to his senses.

Naturally, no one will bid again.

Being rich is one thing, being willful is another. Both things have their limits. Obviously, Young Master Wang and Miss He are more willful.

By the third call of the hammer, the waiter had just walked to the table for two people.

Young Master Wang turned to He Miaomiao and said, "Swipe your card. I've also swiped my share."

The eldest lady entered the number 210,1600 and said arrogantly, "Why?"

"I can't even find an empty bottle, why do you think so?"

"Then why don't I leave a bottle for you? Isn't there a bottle of cheap wine later? You can keep it to entertain Black Tiger or something."

How generous!

Wang Yan shook his head dumbfounded: "The two of us can drink at least 5 bottles in one meal. If you treat someone to a drink, you only end up gargling with a bottle. Is that possible?"

"Then don't keep even one bottle! Men don't do good things after drinking. You'd better go and play fighting with Brother Tiger!"

I really want to play, and Black Tiger is willing to accompany me...

And just once, a piece of flesh was pinched off, and it hasn’t grown back yet. How dare I?

"Come on, I'll give it to you. Anyway, you're the boss of the money you spend."

Just now Wang Yan was not proactive enough and she asked for it. Now that Wang Yan took the initiative, she started to act pretentious again.

"What about that? Do you want to leave a few bottles for you and give them to your girlfriend to try? It doesn't matter, just treat it as my invitation!"

"You are so generous, thank you!"

The eldest young master sneered, his face full of rejection.

How crazy do you have to be to show off to Liu Li with the wine Miaomiao bought?

Dig a hole for me, you are still young!

The eldest lady laughed for a while, and without mentioning this issue again, she turned around and asked the waiter to deliver all 14 bottles of wine to Building 65 in Sinan.

In less than a minute, the two of them bought the first two pieces of wine, and directly raised the premium to 10 times, which attracted a lot of attention.

The organizer was so beautiful that the chief brewmaster took the initiative to come over and "flatter" her.

This person is actually quite normal, but Wang Yan can only understand it this way.

"Dear sir, beautiful lady, thank you for your love for Perrier-Jouët. I only represent... Barabara."

Wang Yan is already good at business pleasantries. He waits for the translator to convey the meaning before speaking.

Then the eldest lady actually took the job and took the initiative to speak, spouting a long list of responses.

⊙o⊙

Can't understand a word!

Wow, French? !

Wang Yan was shocked, while He Wei was overjoyed——

In fact, her name is Hervé. When He Miaomiao calls the other person, the pronunciation is "Aiwuwei". The "wu" in it is pronounced as a light short sound, and the whole word sounds closer to Hervé.

But Mr. Wang didn't care so much. He Wei shouted smoothly and decided happily.

He Wei was very happy that He Miaomiao could speak French. He smiled so much that the folds on his face stretched out, and he had a pleasant conversation with the eldest lady.

When the two of them could communicate, the translator began to herd the sheep and sit idle.

Wang Yan could only stare at Chu Hong.

He couldn't just stare blankly, so Chu Hong took the initiative to start a conversation: "Young Master Wang's female companion is knowledgeable and noble. I wonder whose daughter she is?"

Wang Yan didn't know what his father-in-law did, so he responded vaguely: "Follow me."

"Oh! Miss Wang!" Chu Hong suddenly realized, "Your sister?"

Wang Yan smiled and said nothing, noble and cool...ah, so mysterious and charming.

Chu Hong was a very discerning person and immediately changed the subject upon seeing this.

"How long do Mr. Wang plan to stay in the Magic City?"

"About a week, I have to get those two buildings."

The auction will officially end in five days. You will have to go through all the trouble again when you go back. There is no need.

Chu Hong nodded: "Please come to my office when you have time. It's rare to apply for a card. I plan to design a special pattern and signature for you."

In fact, it is unknown whether the card will be issued before the application is officially launched.

But Chu Hong was confident that he could handle everything. He didn't mention his background and ability in the industry, and only looked at Wang Yan's own qualifications, so there wouldn't be any problems.

Wang Yan really wanted that card. If it really had a limit of 20 million, it would be a lot of money and it could solve a lot of problems.

However, he still had to keep his airs up, with a nonchalant smile on his face.

"Chu Xing, the property rights of my two floors will not be available for a while. The transfer of property rights through judicial auction seems to take 20 to 30 days. Don't worry!"

How could Chu Hong not be in a hurry?

Immediately sign the guarantee: "It doesn't matter, just have the court's auction transaction confirmation and receipt. Applying for the card is to verify your personal qualifications, not to apply for a mortgage loan... Hey, Mr. Wang, when Wang Ting Entertainment really wants to apply for a loan, you You can’t find someone else’s home!”

Wang Yan smiled bitterly, and that was true: "Chu Xing, I'm really not short of money..."

"Of course I know you are not short of money."

Chu Hong nodded, speaking seriously.

"But a company is a company, and individuals are individuals. Wang Ting cannot always use your capital injection to expand its operations... How is the equity calculated?"

Young Master Wang's expression suddenly became a little solemn and distressed.

"You are right. The company's new equity distribution plan is under discussion, and several shareholders have concerns... Hey, they want to spend money but can't spend it..."

That's right!

Chu Hong was overjoyed, but tried hard to suppress his excitement and continued to think about Young Master Wang.

"Your 500 million real estate project is really scary. In fact, the best thing to do is to directly inject 500 million in cash. The cash can be used for development and can also be used to provide benefits to shareholders, so everyone will not have so many worries.

But you are not short of money, and I believe everyone can understand your kindness...

As for the funds required for operation, you can rest assured that Minsheng is a friendly businessman, so feel free to raise it when needed! "

Seeing a large amount of money coming to him and recommending himself, Wang Dahuyou wanted to laugh in his heart, but on the surface he became more reserved.

"You don't have to pay it back? I'll take it if you don't need to pay it back. Don't push me, there are people doing this every day... Then let me think about it again, okay?!"

Chu Hong's heart tightened when he heard what Wang Yan had "accidentally" leaked.

Damn it!

There are indeed colleagues who are stealing business!

It's right to think about it. With such a rich young man, it's strange that no one is watching.

Chu Hong was suddenly filled with a sense of urgency, and he wished he could take out a Zhang Zhen·Infinite Card from his pants and slap it in front of Wang Yan.

Apart from that, what other effective methods are there?

Xinghua... Xinghua is a must. Take it with you next time you eat. One is not enough for us to take three of you. Sister Loli is up to you*.

What happens after that?

While he was racking his brains to figure it out, the host on the stage shouted: "68,500 for the first time!"

An idea flashed in Chu Hong's mind, and he immediately raised his hand: "70,000!"

Wang Yan was stunned by the shout: "Why, Chu Xing is very satisfied with today's wine?"

Chu Hong smiled mysteriously: "Wine is good wine, but I can't afford it."

Oh, you're not giving it to me, are you?

Young Master Wang reacted immediately and felt it was funny and fun.

It’s so novel, this guy was fooling around all the time, and he actually got to the point where he was “bribed” by the president?

But there is no need to take advantage of this kind of advantage.

Wang Yan shook his head and took out his mobile phone: "Come on, Chu Xing, let's add WeChat."

Chu Hong didn't know why but was very happy. He immediately opened WeChat: "Oh, that's my honor... 75,000!"

By the way, I shouted a quote again.

After adding friends, Wang Yan directly transferred a sum of 100,000 yuan.

Chu Hong was stunned: "What are you doing?"

"Since you don't need that auction spot, Chu Xing, please help me take the photo so that I can coax our eldest lady. Thank you, thank you!"

Wang Yan spoke directly, with a gentle attitude and a smile.

Chu Hong immediately understood that the young master did not want to receive such a favor from him.

I am filled with regret beyond words.

"You really don't have much expensive things, so let me give my sister a meeting gift to show my love..."

"It's very expensive. In the friendship between gentlemen, etiquette is more important than affection. I don't want you to spend personal money."

Wang Yan shook his head resolutely.

Under the clear and calm gaze of the young man, Chu Hong realized that there was nothing he could do and sighed helplessly.

"Okay... Then you don't have to pay so much. I'll transfer the difference back to you after I finish paying, okay?"

"Okay, then I'll trouble Chu Xing."

"No trouble... 79,000! Mr. Wang, you are far better to meet in person than to be famous! I used to think that Mr. Ai's praise of you was exaggerated, but now I know that Mr. Ai even underestimated it!"

Chu Hong gave a thumbs up sincerely.

Appearance, demeanor, responsibility, adaptability, mind, tolerance... everything is good, fully worthy of the evaluation of the dragon among men.

In just one hour of contact, Wang Yan's image in Chu Hong's mind was already so good that it exploded.

Now, even if someone tells Chu Hong: Wang Yan doesn't have much money, he is trying to trick you into getting a loan.

Chu Hongbaozhun slapped him in the face and replied in two words: Get lost!

When bidding before, Chu Hong was determined and his wallet hurt.

The auction bills will definitely not be reimbursed. It is equivalent to using personal money to do business at home.

Although I have made friends with Wang Yan and my connections are my own, the price is actually quite high, and it is hard to say whether I can get back the money.

The young master's decisive refusal made Chu Hong very comfortable.

It’s not just a matter of money, but also a sense of relief that I didn’t misjudge the wrong person and that my investment didn’t fail.

He has a lot of money, is generous, and has principles. What a good customer he is? !

Lao Chu, I am so lucky today!

The moment Chu Hong accepted the transfer, he made up his mind: Mr. Wang, I will do my best to handle your matter!

Wang Yan and Chu Hong looked at each other, smiling without saying a word, with deep eyes.

As for deception, the most important thing is that the character cannot collapse.

I never do things where small things cost big things.

As He Miaomiao chatted with Hervé, he still paid attention to Wang Yan.

As soon as I saw Gouzi's eyes that he had everything under control, and then looked at Chu Hong's excitement, I immediately understood: Oh, he's fooling someone again.

If you have a monthly ticket, please give me some. Now I can be on the list. My ranking is much worse than before the blockade. TT
