Chapter 1001: Dao Saffron Face
After the wine tasting, the guests had a general understanding of the taste and aroma style of the wines produced by each winery, and as Bian Xuedao returned to the banquet hall, the wine party entered the auction session.
Auctions are one of the common livening routines at cocktail parties, and another common routine at cocktail parties is charity.
Bian Xuedao had communicated with the people of the Famous Wines Association a long time ago, hoping that the proceeds from the auction at the cocktail party would be used to donate to build schools in poor areas of China.
The French are very smart, and they are very supportive of Bian Xuedao's proposal that "no money can be made for wine", that he can get a good name, and that he can make his own wine show his face, and unanimously promised to raise as much money as possible for Chinese children with good wine.
As the two hosts took the stage again and announced the start of the auction, the cocktail party instantly entered a climax.
In the audience, many Bordeaux château owners have greeted the owners and Chinese friends who have good friendships before coming to China, and asked the other party to help raise the auction price in the auction process, so as not to make the auction unsuccessful or sell at the reserve price, which will not look good on the face and will also damage the reputation of the winery.
As the host, Bian Xuedao also prepared precautionary measures for the peaceful atmosphere of the reception.
Fan Qingyu and several staff members of the Yanjing branch who were "lurking" among the guests were instructed to bid when the auction was cold and raise the price appropriately. Of course, several staff members were instructed by Wu Dingwen in person, and Fan Qingyu was personally instructed by Bian Xuedao.
For Fan Qingyu, no matter what, as long as she is "useful" by Bian Xuedao's side, she is happy, and she feels inexplicably down-to-earth. So when he heard that the auction had begun, Fan Qingyu immediately cheered up.
Outcome......
The owners and Bian Xuedao were too worried, and there was no cold scene at all.
First, this is a cocktail party held by Bian Xuedao, and the people present are elites in all fields of society, and there is no particularly bad emotional intelligence among these people.
Second, the auction proceeds are used for charity projects, which is much better than a purely commercial auction.
Third, some people who are interested in buying a winery in France want to make friends with the owners during the auction, because the host has already said that after the auction session, the auctioneers can take photos with the owners of the wineries.
Fourth, even if the winery is very famous, it will always have a few bottles of good vintage wine for tens or hundreds of years. In order to open up the Chinese market, and in order not to be compared too badly by other wineries, many wineries took out at least one bottle of "Zhenzhuang Treasure" at this reception.
In view of the above reasons, the host introduced the vintage, origin, grape species, aroma and taste of each bottle of wine, and the number of surviving bottles...... The auction was in full swing almost from the start.
In the following hour, Bian Xuedao raised his hand 3 times and auctioned 3 bottles of his favorite wine at a high price.
Zhu Zhichun raised his hand once, Meng Yinyun raised his hand 4 times, and the two took 5 bottles of particularly good vintage wine.
Shen Fu, Selena and Olivia also shot once, and the interesting thing is that seeing that they wanted it, no one fought anymore, and directly gave them the wine.
Fan Qingyu also raised her hand a few times, but each time she was surpassed by someone at a higher price, and more than an hour passed, and she still found nothing.
The most intriguing thing is the back man who came with Zhu Yugong, in an hour, he took 13 bottles of wine alone, and depending on his momentum, he will continue to shoot.
This kind of shooting is not like a show, but like a smashing scene.
In fact, for such people, Bian Xuedao is very welcome.
He had already given Fu Caining, who had a very tacit understanding in the Dongxing equity auction together, a glance, and Fu Caining found the people who were "lurking" in the guests with their understanding, and asked them to raise the price with the man on his back.
As a result, the atmosphere became more and more hot, and several French winery owners were so excited that their faces were red, they could never have imagined that their winery would one day be sold at such a price, which was enough to write into the history of the winery.
Finally, it was the turn of the Red Face Winery.
As one of the "Eight Famous Wineries", Hongyanrong Winery, both in terms of fame and heritage, far surpasses the previous wineries. What's more, the host of tonight's cocktail party is the owner of Hongyanrong Winery, and everyone is very curious about what wine Bian Xuedao will take out for auction, and how much Hongyanrong's wine can be auctioned.
The showcase was launched.
People were surprised to find that Hongyanrong auctioned not one bottle, but four bottles of wine.
See from afar......
These four bottles are strange, one is red, one is white, one is rosé, and one is amber.
Four bottles, four colors, four wines.
Many Bordeaux owners were stunned when they saw it: "What kind of wine is this? Is there such a wine in Hongyanrong?
The few owners who are more familiar with Hongyanrong thought of the big move of the Chinese owner after buying Hongyanrong - the introduction of a new deck.
Could this be the mysterious new second wine?
The showcase was pushed to the stage, and the hostess picked up the four bottles of rosé wine, took a closer look, and then introduced to the audience with a proud look on her face: "Everyone, this bottle of wine in my hand is the new sub-brand wine launched by Hongyanrong Winery, this wine is a set of 4 bottles, including a bottle of red wine, a bottle of white wine, a bottle of rosé wine, and a bottle of amber wine. ”
Hearing this, the people in the audience were quite calm.
But then, I can't calm down.
The hostess continued: "This wine is made in limited quantities every year and sold in limited quantities, but this is not the most special, the most special thing about this wine is ......"
Speaking of this, the hostess walked to the stage and handed the bottle in her hand to the guests, and a few seconds later, the hostess said: "This wine is called 'Dao Stran Yanrong', and its wine label is designed separately, and Chinese characters are printed on the wine label......"
"Wow!"
"What?"
"Kanji wine labels?"
"Bian Xuedao launched a new sub-brand with Chinese character wine labels at Hongyanrong Winery?"
The audience was boiling at once.
The hostess turned around and returned to the stage, put down the rosé wine in her hand, picked up the red wine in the first place, looked at the wine label and read: "Spring, the season of Yunxiu." ”
Put it down and pick up the white wine: "Summer, the season of fragrant wine." ”
Put it down and pick up the rosé wine just now: "Autumn, the season of abundance." ”
Put it down and pick up the amber wine: "Winter, the season of snow." ”
Offstage, Shen Fu, who was sitting on the chair, was stunned.
When she heard the words "Fangfu Season", her heart moved, and when she heard "Fengrao Season", she was as smart as Shen Fu and understood everything.
It turned out that he was white wine in his heart......
It turned out that he subconsciously represented white......
This new deck is called "Dao Stran Yanrong", he is the Tao, I am Hongyan......
On the stage, the hostess lifted the bottom of the bottle and said to the audience: "Four bottles of wine in spring, summer, autumn and winter, in addition to the wine label, the bottom of the bottle also has the corresponding words spring, summer, autumn and winter." It can be said that these four bottles of wine have a very special collection significance, you know, this is the first time that the Chinese character wine label has appeared in Hongyanrong Winery, so although I am the host, but at the same time as a wine lover, I will participate in the auction when the auction is held......"
"Buzz!"
Chinese, English, and French sounded at the same time, and the audience was almost in a mess.
Some French owners feel that Bian Xuedao is doing this, which is tantamount to destroying the "purity" of the French national treasure winery; some owners feel that since the winery belongs to the family, it is their freedom to operate what they want.
The thinking of the Chinese in the audience is surprisingly unified: such a wine with historical significance and commemorative value can definitely appreciate in value if you buy it home and collect it.
At this time, someone couldn't help but ask: "How to sell this set of wine?" ”
The hostess on stage put the wine in her hand back on the display case: "Not just shooting, a set of four bottles, starting at 800 euros!"
As soon as the words fell, someone in the audience immediately made a bid: "1,000 euros." ”
"1500 euros. ”
“2000!”
“2500!”
“3000!”
“4000!”
“6000!”
To tell the truth, tens of thousands of yuan are really small money in the eyes of these guests at tonight's cocktail party.
Think about the BAZAAR Star Charity Night, a brooch and a second-hand dress can be auctioned for hundreds of thousands of millions, although there are a lot of "left hand to right hand" cat in it, but it can still reflect a rough standard.
Compared with the second-hand clothes of those celebrities, the collection value of these four bottles of wine on the stage is several grades higher.
As a result, the price increase continued......
The scene of soaring bidding at the reception is exactly what Dong Xue is looking forward to.
In the past few years in France, Dong Xue has seen a lot of things that Bian Xuedao does not know, such as the conservatism of the French who seem to be enthusiastic and cheerful.
At that time, Bian Xuedao decided to make a sub-card with a Chinese character wine label, which was a decision to pat his head. After Bian Xuedao left, in the process of execution, Dong Xue encountered resistance.
Not to mention the French people outside the winery, even the French employees at the winery, have opinions about the behavior of the new owner. In their view, although Château Hongyanrong is legally a Bian Xuedao, it also belongs to all French people, and it is a kind of "cultural invasion" to put Chinese characters on the French national treasure wine.
Therefore, Dong Xue, Zhu Shisan, and Pei Tong almost used their strength to secretly brew the "Dao Saffron Face".
Dong Xue solved the trouble of brewing, and she handed over the trouble of appearance to Bian Xuedao to solve.
In China, in Yanjing, at home, Dong Xue believes that Bian Xuedao can use his identity as the host of the cocktail party to make the world recognize "Dao's red face".
In the banquet hall, the situation was developing in the direction that Dong Xue was expecting.
After someone shouted "10,000 euros", Shen Fu made a move, and she directly doubled the price: "20,000." ”
Belch......
The banquet hall fell silent for a moment.
It took more than three minutes to add from 800 euros to 10,000 euros, and it only took one second to add from 10,000 euros to 20,000 euros.
In the silence, Fan Qingyu made a bid: "25,000." ”
Hearing Fan Qingyu's voice, Bian Xuedao's brows moved slightly, but he didn't turn around and look back.
Then a male star raised his hand: "30,000." ”
The male star's hand was not put down, and the man with the back raised his hand and said, "50,000." ”
Similarly, the hand of the man on the back had not been put down, and Shen Fu raised his hand and said, "80,000." ”
All the guests looked at Shen Fu at the same time.
In everyone's impression, Shen Fu is rarely so "aggressive".
There were still many people who had spare energy to participate in the auction at the scene, but seeing that Shen Fu was so determined to get these four bottles of wine, most of them had the mind of giving it to her.
At this moment, Zhu Yugong lazily raised his hand and said, "I'll give 150,000 ...... Dollar. ”
