Chapter 1209: 18 Years of Struggle
Early in the morning of January 3rd, the guests who had gone to the banquet arrived. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
The first to come to the door were Zhu Zhichun and Meng Yinyun.
For a family banquet like tonight, I wish Meng and the two of them to learn the Tao while they must be invited. The reason is simple, they are friends ā friends who have known each other early, are close in age, have similar temperaments, have common topics and are of the same level.
In the call before coming, Zhu Zhichun asked Bian Xuedao, "Do you want me to bring some good cigarettes and wine?"
Bian Xuedao was not polite, and said: "The general good ones don't need to be, but the best ones can be." ā
Zhu Zhichun smiled and said, "I knew that your family's meal was not for nothing. ā
Bian Xuedao laughed: "What do you want to eat, I'll let the kitchen make a small stove for you." ā
After thinking for a while, Zhu Zhichun said: "If I say that I want to eat Northeast Stew, will you beat me?"
Bian Xuedao said politely: "No problem, when the time comes, we will eat French food, arrange a single room for you, and you can eat your small stove alone." ā
The two argued a few words and hung up the phone.
Speaking of which, this is a small tacit understanding between Zhu Zhichun and Bian Xuedao.
For the first time, Bian Xuedao entertained friends in the house he bought for more than 4 billion, and the house was so magnificent, of course, the details could not be delayed.
However, after all, the time to make a fortune is too short, and the background is not deep.
This heritage includes the precious jewelry worn by the wife when attending the occasion, including the original calligraphy and paintings at home, treasures and antiques, as well as famous wine and cigarettes of a specific year.
Let's just say that this famous cigarette and liquor, of course, the special supply of Moutai special panda is also considered to be forced, but first, they are still in mass production, it is not difficult for the wealthy class to get, and the rarity is not high; second, the "identity satisfaction" brought by special items to people is limited to Chinese people, and when the foreigners at the banquet reach a certain percentage, the forced price of special items will plummet.
In fact, it is more difficult for foreigners to find satisfaction in the words "special needs" like Chinese, because these four words are not easy to explain.
The explanation is shallow, I can't make foreign friends feel that these things are very awesome, and I can't let them understand the sincerity of the host's treat.
The explanation is deep, can it be directly said that "this is a scarce item that is specially produced to meet the priority of special groups of people to occupy scarce resources in society and does not enter the market circulation"?
Whereas red wine cigars are different.
The "high compulsion" of these two things is common to China and the West, and there is no cognitive difference and understanding gap, especially the red wine and cigar of the special year.
The problem is that both of these things are lacking in hand.
It is true that he has a top winery in his hand, and it is not false that there are a few bottles of Zhenzhuang treasure in Hongyanrong Winery, but each of those bottles of wine is of great significance.
For the winery, the bottle contains the years that have been fished out of the river of time and precipitated, which is not wine, but history.
If Bian Xuedao is just a drinker, he definitely doesn't mind opening it up and tasting it.
But he is the owner of Hongyanrong Winery, in his heart, the winery is an industry passed on to his descendants, from this point of view, those rare wines that have been preserved for decades or hundreds of years can not be moved, because after drinking a bottle, the sense of history and heaviness of the winery will be thin, and it cannot be passed on to his descendants A winery without the treasure of the town.
Not to mention the treasures of the town, even the top collections that are slightly inferior to one level, cannot be easily drunk, because those wines are useful, such as getting to the auction house to rank the winery.
Only by maintaining a high ranking of the winery in the world can the sales and selling price of the winery's annual production wine be stabilized or even increased, which is one of the pillars of the winery's existence.
However, if you don't take out the top collection of your own winery and drink only the fine wines of the winery, it will be considered an advertisement, and it will inevitably be suspicious of being stingy.
After all, Bian Xuedao lacked good wine in his hand that would amaze the guests.
Finest-and-rarest wines with vintages are scarce and extremely rare on the market.
The way to get this is either by a gift from a friend or by participating in an auction house auction, such as Sothebys, Christie's, Hospices-de-Beaune and Bonhams.
It's a pity that Bian Xuedao is not interested in wine, and he has his own winery and there is no shortage of wine to drink, so he has never paid attention to these.
Now, when the wine is used, there is less hatred.
Most of the top wine collectors are treasured in private hands, and those who are willing to spend tens of thousands of dollars to buy a bottle of wine are not bad for money, and it is impossible for someone to bid for it.
If you don't have a friend, you won't sell it to you at all, even if you have a relationship, whether it's a collector or a gourmet, you are a wine lover, as a friend, is it embarrassing to "take advantage of others"?
In addition, anonymous bidding is allowed in the auction, and a considerable part of the wine is transferred, and it is not known who is in the hands or in whose stomach, or whether it has already entered the place of reincarnation.
Therefore, even if Bian Xuedao has money, there is no place to buy it for a while.
Although Bian Xuedao didn't speak, Zhu Zhichun still expected that he was short of good wine, so he offered to send wine.
Zhu Haishan started his family by collecting, which invisibly affected the interests of his children and grandchildren.
The three generations of the Zhu family have accumulated for decades, and there are a lot of rare collections.
In particular, Zhu Haishan, in addition to calligraphy and painting antiques, he also collected a lot of Lai Mao before the founding of the People's Republic of China, Moutai in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, and famous wines of more than 100 years old. Whether at home or abroad, ordinary collectors only have envy in front of Zhu Haishan.
At the gate of Hedong Garden, the black BMW 760Li slowly stopped.
In the cab, Zhu Zhichun took off his sunglasses, looked at the nearly 4-meter-high wall, the high-strength anti-collision electronic gate and the monitoring probe that can be called "dense", turned his head and said to Meng Yinyun who was sitting in the passenger seat: "This security intensity, the person who made his idea probably wanted to cry when he saw it." ā
Looking at the slowly opening door in front of the car, Meng Yinyun said lightly: "There is nothing wrong with being prepared for danger in times of peace. ā
door.
Knowing that Zhu Zhichun's car had arrived, Bian Xuedao personally went out to greet him, and Xu Shangxiu followed him, elegant and generous, quiet and calm.
Zhu Zhichun and Meng Yinyun are the only guests Xu Shangxiu saw today, and when she saw these two people, she avoided them.
The car drove into the Z-shaped lane, and saw Bian Xuedao and Xu Shangxiu standing at the door of the mansion, Zhu Zhichun whispered: "Xu Shangxiu is actually here, and Zhu Dezhen has no curse now." ā
Meng Yinyun also said softly: "Do you want Dezhen to marry Bian Xuedao in your heart?"
"Not wanting. ā
"Why?"
"Bian Xuedao seems to be easy to get along with, but in fact, he is wary and ruthless, Zhu Dezhen marries the past, the possibility of 1+1ā„2 is not high, and it will backfire if it is not good. ā
ā¦ā¦
ā¦ā¦
In the living room, the guests and hosts are seated, and the maid brings juice and coffee.
Zhu Zhichun picked up the coffee spoon, stirred the coffee lightly and said, "The house view is really good, if you want to make a move in the future, you must tell me first." ā
Meng Yinyun, who was sitting next to him, said with a smile: "Don't listen to him bragging...... By the way, there is wine brought by me and Zhichun and two gifts to congratulate you on moving to a new house in the car outside, so you can ask someone to take it out. ā
Bian Xuedao listened, turned his head and said to Ding Zhicheng, who was standing in the corner of the living room: "Lao Ding, you go along, your hands and feet are lighter." ā
A few minutes later, Zhu Zhichun and Meng Yinyun brought in the things.
Very heavy gift!
There are 8 bottles, including two bottles of Shipprecked 1907-Heidsieck, two 4.5-litre V-marked 1945 Mouton Reds, one Henri-Jayer's Cros-Parantoux, one 1990 Romanee-Conti and two 1936 Reismoux.
In addition to the wine, there are two boxes of Cohiba-Behike cigars produced in limited quantities in 2006 to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the Cohiba brand. A box of 40 Behike cigars is enough for a banquet of this size.
In addition to wine and cigars, Zhu Zhichun also brought 3 vintage 8582 green cakes. Everyone in the world knows that tea can't last long, but Pu'er tea is an exception, and this kind of tea is like wine in a certain time frame, "the older it gets, the more fragrant it becomes".
Cigarettes, wine, and tea are obviously used for banquets, and the housewarming gifts given to Bian Xuedao by Zhu Zhichun and Meng Yinyun are "Love Trace Lake" and "Evening Picture of Jiangshan".
Choosing these two paintings as a housewarming ceremony, Zhu Zhichun worked hard.
The Hedong Garden bought by Bian Xuedao is known as a "combination of East and West", and Zhang Daqian's paintings are also known for their "fusion of East and West", and the two are very compatible.
knew that the gift given by Zhu Zhichun and Meng Yinyun was quite expensive, but Bian Xuedao was not hypocritical, and asked Liu Yisong and Ding Zhicheng to find someone to frame it on the spot and choose a place to hang it.
The four chatted for a while, and Bian Xuedao received a call from Wang Weiran, saying that he would arrive in about 20 minutes.
Bian Xuedao put down the phone, Meng Yinyun looked at Xu Shangxiu with a smile and said, "Miss Xu, can you take me to visit the garden?"
Visit the garden......
Xu Shangxiu has a limited understanding of Hedong Garden, how to introduce it to guests?
However, Xu Shangxiu had a natural calmness, she nodded elegantly and said, "Okay, I also want to go out for a walk." ā
Meng Yinyun listened, enthusiastically pulled Xu Shangxiu to stand up, and said to Bian Xuedao and Zhu Zhichun: "Let's go out to visit the garden and come back for dessert in a while." ā
When the two walked to the door, Xu Shangxiu greeted Qu Wan, who was directing the gardener's work, and said, "Sister Wan, don't be busy, come and rest." ā
Well, smart people know how to borrow.
After Xu Shangxiu and Meng Yinyun left, Bian Xuedao looked at Zhu Zhichun and smiled bitterly: "Your gift is a bit heavy! Shang Xiu and Yinyun are here just now, I have to hold it, now you give me the bottom, how much do these things cost?"
Leaning comfortably on the back of the sofa, Zhu Zhichun touched the armrests and said: "Many of them were found by my grandfather when he was alive, and you know, his vision has always been very good, except for two bottles of piper-heidsieck, which were bought at market prices, and the other bottles are cheaper than the current price." ā
Belch......
Zhu Zhichun said that Bian Xuedao believed it.
Who is Zhu Haishan?
After decades of prophetic period, if you can't buy low and sell high, you will see the hell.
At this moment, Zhu Zhichun changed his sitting posture, picked up the coffee cup, and said casually: "I remember that two years ago you said that there was an article on the Internet called "I struggled for 18 years to sit with you and drink coffee", I saw that article a while ago, and today I suddenly remembered it and felt very emotional. ā
Bian Xuedao asked, "What do you feel?"
Zhu Zhichun said: "If he were to take you as a reference, he probably wouldn't have been able to complain like this, because even if he struggled for 28 years, he probably wouldn't have the opportunity to sit here and drink your coffee." ā
Bian Xuedao smiled and said, "Why do I feel a little awkward when you say this!"
Zhu Zhichun put down the coffee cup and said, "Your words are also mysterious enough." I searched the internet for almost a year to find this article. I said, you can't write that article, right?"
Bian Xuedao: "......"
I rub!
If you say too much, you will lose it!!
ā¦ā¦
ā¦ā¦
(It's not that I don't want to change it, it's really not easy to fill the hole.) A novel of more than 3.3 million words, in which there are many foreshadowings and countless holes, even if I am the author, I really can't remember it, so I can only look back and re-read it and re-smooth it out. Every time I rewatch it, I can't help but want to look up to the sky and sigh: it's easy to dig a pit and it's hard to fill a pit, and I make an appointment with ...... No, the pit you dug yourself has to be filled with tears. ļ¼
