Chapter 65
At this time, everyone was looking at the bottle of Drunken Immortal Wine King salvaged from the shipwreck in 1876 that Manager Hong was holding, and they didn't know what it would look like.
At this moment, a waiter took out a metal pen and a wooden hammer from under the car shaking the decanter.
The hammer head was wrapped in brown rubber, and then he walked up to Manager Hong's side and used a metal pen to scratch back and forth at the mouth of this porcelain wine bottle.
I took out a small wooden hammer and gently knocked it horizontally on the mouth of the bottle a few times, and I heard the faint cracking sound of porcelain pieces in my ears.
Then the waiter put the tools back in the cart, and the rest of the waiters began to place a goblet in front of each of us.
With a small wine cup in front of each table, Director Gao suddenly stood up, took the porcelain bottle in Manager Hong's hand, and held the bottom of the bottle with his left hand.
Holding the mouth of the bottle with his right hand, he broke it with a little force, only to hear a crisp sound of Kaba, and the porcelain bottle was broken open from the neck of the bottle.
Instantly, there was a smell of wine all around me, a mellow aroma, and everyone showed an intoxicated expression, and the smell did not smell of alcohol.
Director Gao smiled and said to everyone: "It's really a good wine, made of pure grain a hundred years ago, hahaha." β
Then he turned to look at me and said, "Captain Zhao, we have a good day today." β
I looked at Director Gao's happy appearance, like a child who has received a favorite toy, and couldn't put down the wine in his hand, so I replied:
"Director Gao, I will dip your light today and taste this century-old wine!"
Then Director Gao personally poured me a full cup of wine, and filled a cup himself, and handed over the rest to Manager Hong, who poured a full glass of wine for everyone sitting one by one.
Looking at the wine in the wine cup, I said to myself: This is the wine king of more than 100 years ago! Smelling the aroma of the wine, just smelling the wine is like drinking a few sips.
I shook the glass a few times and looked into the cup, and the wine itself seemed to be thicker than normal water, but lighter than water, which was amazing!
At this time, Director Gao held his wine glass and said to everyone present: "Everyone, I came to pick up the wind and wash the dust for Captain Zhao today, and I hope you will eat and drink well.
We still have many opportunities for cooperation in the future, and I hope that Captain Zhao and you can support us a lot, so that we can unite sincerely.
Develop together and complete their respective work perfectly, I will do it here first, and everyone is free. β
Then I excitedly drank the century-old wine in the cup, and I realized that I had forgotten to taste it.
Quickly lick it up and down with your tongue in your mouth, this wine is really special, there is a little bit of hanging,
It's like drinking beef broth and taking a sip of cold water, and the feeling of butter hanging in your mouth,
But this wine is not spicy or bitter at all, there is a faint fragrance, and there is no irritation when it flows through the throat and enters the stomach.
I just think that this wine is very heavy, very mellow, and the taste has a hint of sweetness, and the lips and teeth are fragrant, which makes people have a lingering aftertaste.
This sip of wine directly refreshed my understanding of wine, it is really unusual, I looked at Manager Hong and asked excitedly:
"How much does this bottle of wine cost, it's the first time I've drunk this kind of taste, it's the first time in this world! It's so delicious!" I don't know if it's the effect of alcohol, which makes me a little uncomfortable when I speak!
Manager Hong smiled: "This wine is not expensive, 3 million Asian dollars, and a bottle of RomanΓ©e Conti over there is 230,000 Asian dollars." β
"Ahh
Director Gao smiled at me and said, "This is the taste of money, hahahahaha, Captain Zhao, it's not bad." β
I looked at the porcelain wine bottle in Manager Hong's hand, and felt that this bottle could pour thirty or forty glasses.
This afternoon is almost about 100,000 Asian dollars, and I only have 10,000 Asian dollars a month for living expenses, which is really not comparable to ordinary people.
At this time, the red wine in the decanter had also woken up, and a waiter brought it with both hands and poured it into the goblet for us in turn.
Each glass was poured at a third, and I looked at this glass of red wine, and estimated that the amount of this third was also a few thousand dollars larger.
I looked at Director Gao and a few people, they were all holding glasses in their right hands, gently turning the red wine in the glass counterclockwise, I also imitated it in the same way, I was afraid that I didn't understand, don't look foreign here.
At this time, Qu Yuanlin came over with red wine, bent down and said with a smile to me and Director Gao:
"I wish Captain Zhao all the best, make great achievements in Huatian City, and sincerely cooperate with my uncle Director Gao, and join together to become an official and become a knight, and the official road will be prosperous. β
After speaking, he raised his goblet and clinked glasses with me and Director Gao.
There was a clinking of glasses, and there was a trill, it seems that the goblet in this hand is not an ordinary cup, the force of the glass just now is quite strong, if it were an ordinary wine glass, it would have been broken.
Then I drank the wine, and it was a very heavy feeling, like taking a sip of water full of sediment.
And a fine taste, but there is no sediment, and there is a hint of sweet and bitter feeling lingering in the mouth.
However, the alcohol content of this red wine is much higher than that of the wine king, and it is a little better when you drink it, and you can obviously feel that your face is a little hot, and you must be blushing.
We talked together for a while, and they couldn't eat.
They were slowly tasting and chatting, and I was still eating and eating, as if I never knew I was full.
At this time, Director Gao said to me with concern: "Captain Zhao, if you have any trouble that is difficult to deal with, you can find me, and I will try my best to help you." β
I looked at Director Gao and said: Don't bother you, I will solve it myself, but if there is anything in your embassy that needs the assistance of our team, just ask.
Qu Yuanlin listened carefully to our conversation on the side, and when he saw Director Gao asking me if there were any problems that needed to be solved,
He reacted first, walked over quickly, squatted between me and Director Gao, patted my arm and said to Director Gao:
"Uncle, this Captain Zhao is thin-skinned, I'm embarrassed to say, he actually, he wants to do a business, but he doesn't know which line to make money, Captain Zhao has never been a businessman and doesn't know how to do business, so it's better for you to help think of a way." β
"Oh, this is not simple!" said and beckoned to Counselor Gao Liang beside him: "Counselor Gao, come and do Captain Zhao a small favor, since you are an economic counselor and understand the trade between the two countries,
Just look at what business is relatively simple and profitable in Huatian City, and help Captain Zhao choose a suitable one. β
After hearing this, Counselor Gao Liang bent down and asked me, "Captain Zhao, how much money do you plan to invest in this transaction? I can help you find a way." β
Before I could speak, Director Gao asked angrily: "Gao Liang, isn't our special fund for foreign friendship investment and construction useless, I remember correctly, there should be more than 20 million Asian dollars, right?
And the banks here can also lend money to Captain Zhao, so why bother about how much to invest? You just need to help you think about what to invest to make money!"
At this time, Counselor Gao Liang pushed the gold-wire glasses on the bridge of his nose with his hand and said: "Yes, I forgot about it, blame me, my memory is too bad,
Captain Zhao, I think it is better to invest in watch stores, this industry makes money, and only needs to join the franchise store, the production process, brand advertising are the head office is responsible, you only need to choose the location. β
"Yes, Captain Zhao, you don't have to worry about the financial matters, our embassy is solely responsible for this. β
I refused: "How can this work, you pay for my business, this is too bad, I have some money on my side, I can do it myself." β
As I spoke, I looked at Counselor Gao Liang, who was wearing gold-rimmed glasses, and asked, "How much money does it cost to open a franchised watch store?"
Counselor Gao Liang explained to me: "This watch dealer is a friend of Director Gao Hui, and there should be room for negotiation between the franchise fee and the regional general agent.
As for the purchase of watches, how can the inventory cost 50 or 60 million, because you are an agent in a region, it must not work if there are fewer watches, and there is a fee for the venue.
Be sure to choose the most prosperous shopping mall in the city, a first-tier city like Huatian City, a 200-square-meter store should be rented around one million a year, and conservatively estimated that it also needs 70 million to 100 million yuan. β
"That's so much money! I can't get it out for the time being, Counselor Gao, is there anything else to invest less?" I asked.
Director Gao looked at me with a smile and said, "Don't worry about Captain Zhao, I said to help, then I must help,
Our embassy contributed 20 million Asian dollars, and then found the Huatian branch of the Federal Bank of Dominia to invest 70 million.
I will personally contribute 10 million to you, and then use this 100 million funds to set up a foundation, and our embassy will hold 20% of the shares.
The federal branch of Huatian City accounts for 70% of the shares, and we only make strategic investments with these two money, and do not manage the operation of the fund.
Let the funds of the federal branch be the priority, our embassy and your funds will be inferior, and Captain Zhao, you will use 10 million shares accounting for 10% as the fund manager.
All the proceeds are distributed by you, and then you sign a contract, and every year your foundation will pay 10% of the profits from the investment to the Federal Bank of Huatian City to repay the principal.
As for when to pay off and when to become your sole proprietorship foundation, this method is the safest, completely allowing you to wait for work, even if you lose money, you are not afraid, you can go bankrupt and clear the debt. β
Listening to Director Gao's method, I was secretly surprised in my heart, this is not an empty glove white wolf, there are such beautiful things in the world!
At this time, Qu Yuanlin, who was squatting among us, said: "Captain Zhao, don't hesitate, since my uncle has thought of such a good way for you,
Don't refuse, if you're afraid that my uncle will suffer a loss, give me 10% of your annual profits, and you will be considered to pay back my uncle's money. β
Curator Gao patted Qu Yuanlin's shoulder and said with a smile: "You kid, come to take advantage of your uncle again, but if Captain Zhao agrees to accept our method, then I also agree to give you ten percent of the annual profit." β
When Qu Yuanlin heard this, he suddenly came to his senses, and said to me with pleading eyes:
"Captain Zhao, you accept this plan, I will also make a fortune with you, if you are afraid that it will be difficult to repay the favor, then I will help you pay it back, if you are afraid of repaying the money slowly, you will take five percent of my part of ten percent to the federal branch, so that the head office." β
At this time, Counselor Gao Liang also echoed: "This matter is absolutely no problem, the Nia King watch we represent is the time when the world has the most publicity, and there are many supermodels and celebrity endorsements.
This table is a random piece of more than 100,000 Asian dollars, and the profit is at least 30 to 40 percent, and it is very easy to make 100 million yuan! I connect with the economy and trade between the two countries, and I can talk nonsense about the affairs here, and this business is no problem!"
At this time, Xiaoyan also took my hand and whispered to me:
"Aoxiong, I think this method will work, and you don't want to live up to Director Gao's wishes. β
The leopard also came up to me and said, "I still have a few million in my card, and I will also use it for you to get this fund, so you don't have to do it." β
Looking at all of them, my heart was indescribably complicated, Feng Xiaoyan, Ye Ming, Zhao Xiaocheng, and the leopards all followed me.
I can't let these brothers of life and death suffer with me, but if I accept Director Gao's opinion, this favor is too much, how can I pay it back in the future!
But this meal and a few bottles of wine have eaten more than 5 million Asian dollars, it seems that this favor must be owed, the villain is also owed, the adult is also owed, it is better to owe a big one, and it will be slowly repaid in the future.
So I made up my mind and said: "Okay, Director Gao, since you can afford me Zhao Aoxiong, then I will be disrespectful, and I will definitely repay this adult favor in the future!"
