Chapter Ninety-Nine: Is it justified to sell fake wine?

"Fake wine!" Li Chen took the wine bottle, said this before opening the bottle, opened it and took a sip: "Sure enough." ”

"Okay, you can tell the difference between real wine and fake wine. Yang Meng sighed on the side, out of a thousand people who drink foreign wine in China, 999 can't tell the truth from the fake.

Xiao Peng said on the sidelines: "Who told you to come to such a place to pretend to be a coercion? and order Hennessy VSOP to drink? Don't you know that you can't drink four kinds of foreign wine in ordinary bars?"

"Which four?" Li Chen asked curiously.

"Chivas Regal 12 Years, RΓ©my Martin VSOP, RΓ©my Martin Premium-Champagne Cognac and Hennessy VSOP. The number of these four types of wine counterfeit wine on the market is more than ten times that of real wine. These wines have been ruined by fake wine. Xuancheng in Anhui Province sells raw materials, 8,000 yuan per ton, which are bottled and sold according to the proportion of different foreign liquor brands and hues. In fact, in Chinese bars, there are always more fake wine sellers than real wine. Xiao Peng said lightly: "A bottle of Chivas Regal in the bar can be sold for 800 in 12 years, and the cost of a fake bottle is less than 50 yuan." You calculate the profit yourself. ”

Li Chen was dumbfounded when he heard this, and Xiao Peng continued: "Regular foreign wine agents will invite people to go to the bar and recycle the wine bottles to prevent counterfeiting, but how much can this smash? Now if nothing else, a 03-year-old Lafite bottle can be sold for hundreds of yuan, and Louis XIII bottles can be sold for thousands." More than 90 percent of China's bars are selling real and fake. When consuming foreign wine in a bar, you should especially think about the second bottle of wine, which is the easiest to 'drop', but this is also nonsense, right?

Li Chen asked, "Is no one in charge of such a blatant thing?"

Xiao Peng smiled slightly: "How to manage? Now the national liquor license is not uniform, and the supervision is easy to leave blank, and now most of the urban regulatory departments issue licenses to liquor sellers such as supermarkets and large shopping malls, but there is a gap in the supervision of foreign liquor entering other channels such as bars. So, remember, if you want to drink foreign alcohol, you have to go to the big shopping malls and supermarkets to buy alcohol, and go to the bar to drink it? Unless you're going to a high-end clubhouse, a top bar. ”

Yang Meng was even more simply, put his hand into the bar, directly grabbed the waiter's collar, mentioned it in front of everyone, and pointed to the wine bottle: "Replace it with the real one immediately, otherwise don't blame me for opening the scoop for you!" After speaking, he threw the waiter back into the bar.

The commotion here attracted people's attention, and Di Wei hurriedly ran over: "Brother Peng, what's going on?"

Xiao Peng pointed at Li Chen: "Your eldest brother said that this is fake wine." To be honest, Xiao Peng couldn't tell the difference between real and fake foreign wine, but since Li Chen said so, he chose to believe Li Chen.

Yang Meng said indignantly: "There are more than 1,000 wines outside, and more than 4,000 are sold here, so I will admit it." You bring us a bottle of fake wine? We've lost all our face! Hurry up and bring out the real wine, or I'll tear down your shop!"

Di Wei covered his forehead, this is really a smashing scene, quickly stopped Yang Meng, and whispered: "That fierce man, don't get excited, are you sure this is fake wine?"

Yang Meng was stunned: "How the hell do I know? Ask your uncle!"

Di Wei looked at Li Chen, and Li Chen nodded: "I won't admit my mistake." ”

Guo Lie walked over: "Everyone, I don't know what's going on here?"

Xiao Peng pointed to the table and was simply shocked: "Fake wine." ”

"Fake wine, can't it, we can't have fake wine here!" Guo Lie looked shocked.

"Taste it for yourself. Xiao Peng put the wine glass in front of Guo Lie. Guo Lie raised his wine glass suspiciously, sniffed the taste, took a sip, and frowned: "It's really fake wine! Xiao Tang, what's going on?" When he said this, he glanced at the waiter who threw Yang Meng to the ground.

Xiao Tang got up from the ground, glanced at Guo Lie, and lowered his head: "Boss, I'm sorry, it's all my fault." I'm obsessed with money, there is something going on at home during this time, my mother is sick and needs money urgently, so I changed the bottle of wine today. Brother Lie, forgive me, I don't dare anymore. I'm going to get the money back。。。。。。 ”

Guo Lie sighed: "Xiao Tang, you have been with me for so many years, how can you be so confused? Alas, Xiao Di, do you see this?" After speaking, he looked at Di Wei and let Di Wei have an idea.

Di Wei shrugged, how could he not understand what Guo Lie meant, this was preparing to turn a big thing into a small thing. Di Wei thought about it, it's just a bottle of wine, it's not a big deal, "Hurry up and change a bottle of wine." ”

When Xiao Tang heard this, he quickly took out a bottle of unopened wine, and just wanted to open the box, but Li Chen took the box with one hand, opened the package by himself, and looked at the wine twice in his hand: "It's still fake." ”

"Oh, look at my temper!" Yang Meng stood up directly. "What are you kidding us?"

When Guo Lie heard this, his expression was embarrassed: "Did I say that there was some misunderstanding here?"

"No mistake, all foreign wine seals have aluminum seals or lead seals, and Hennessy VSOP is a lead seal. Your wine has a lead seal at all. And you look at your wine, there is precipitation underneath, the color is dull, whose VSOP is like this? Looking at the packaging, the handwriting is old and blurry, at first glance, it is homemade by a small printing house, and the trademark number is not the same as the number of Hennessy VSOP, how can this be real wine?" Li Chen explained in a flat tone. "I've been drinking this since I was 13 years old, and after drinking it for so many years, I can't tell the real from the fake?"

Di Wei's face was not good-looking at this time, and he looked at Guo Lie: "Brother Lie, what do you mean by this?"

Guo Lie coughed dryly: "That, Xiao Di, can we have a private chat?"

Yang Meng raised his voice when he heard it: "What do you have to talk about in private? Don't tell me that you don't have real wine here? I can understand it, and I want Xiao Tang to help you carry the blame, and you don't have real wine here." ”

Guo Lie's expression became even more embarrassed: "That。。。。。。 ”

"Don't do this and that. Hurry up and get the real wine out!" Yang Meng was so unforgiving.

Guo Lie glanced at the lively customers around him, and sighed: "That Xiao Di, you have to understand me, there are few people who play art as rich as you, and those who come here to drink foreign wine also drink cheap ones, and there are not many such expensive Hennessy VSOP drinks, and no one drinks real wine here, right?"

"Bah。。。。。。 The audience booed. A person next to him shouted: "Brother Lie, it's not interesting for you to say that! I just bought a bottle two days ago." ”

Guo Lie glanced at the person who spoke: "Gazi, why don't you let me tell the truth? I bought a bottle of VSOP, you drank it with me for a month, and every day I sat on the bar and poured a little bit of it and pretended to be forced, and when I came with a girl, I was afraid that others would not know that you had stored wine here, so you bought a bottle of this thing more than drinking beer." ”

The old man called Gazi blushed: "Brother Lie, are you smashing your own business! I'm a customer! The customer is God, do you understand?"

Guo Lie had an indifferent expression: "Love comes or not, love doesn't come or not, and you are not one of you." ”

Gazi didn't speak when he heard this, some people are so cheap, this is a 'holy place', and the cow is very good.

When Xiao Peng heard this, he looked at Yang Meng beside him in a daze: "Fuck, I think you are shameless enough." This old guy is even more shameless than you. ”

Yang Meng glanced at him: "If you want your face to change all day long, this person, as long as you are stained with the word 'art', there is no one who is not romantic." If you have money and get into 'art', then your face has nothing to do with this person. ”

Xiao Peng nodded: "I suddenly remembered two books, one is called "Canghai" and the other is called "After Canghai", which is a book written by Jian Fan, he is Liu Haisu's student. He cleaned up the affairs of the art circle: artists from all walks of life have been pulled off the altar one after another, and some have tried their best to sell their fame and reputation; literati have only seen each other tear down each other; flesh and blood family affection for each other are fish and meat, etc., etc., from revealing secrets to exposing ugliness, the content hits people's hearts, although ugly, but true. ”

"Liu Haisu, that's a great painter, a palace-level artist and a public figure, isn't that his only student, how could he write this?" Yang Meng asked. He still knows such a big man.

Xiao Peng nodded and said: "God knows what these artists think, as an outstanding artist, Liu Haisu cannot be ignored in terms of painting skills, aesthetic appreciation, and art education, and these show another side of Liu Haisu's humanity, and even include a certain selfish and dishonorable side that they do not match: self-boasting, Boasting of himself, kidnapping deceased celebrities to falsify history for self-removal, abandoning his wife, being unkind to several wives, having affairs with many students and modeling women, and finally dying in a Shanghai apartment, with only his fourth wife, who is over the age of old, and after his death, the inheritance of his children is still undecided. ”

Yang Meng was stunned for a long time after hearing this: ", I must read these two books, the master's gossip is more exciting." I thought that only here was the virtue, and the masters of emotion were like this. ”

"To borrow a line from a simplified and traditional Chinese book, it is good to say: 'It is easy for Chinese cultural people to get rid of poverty, but it is difficult to get rid of cheapness! After getting rid of poverty, he made a mistake!', this sentence is also used in the art world. Xiao Peng commented.

Yang Meng nodded: "I understand what you say very well, just like I read an online novel, at first the author was not famous, it was called a diligent update, and then it became famous, and the update was not timely, and the article was also watery, and readers scolded every day, but I still have to follow it, I said Xiao Peng, do you think those readers don't look like the meaning of the Gazi who shouted just now?"

Xiao Peng nodded: "That's a little interesting。。。。。。 ”

Guo Lie saw that Gazi didn't speak, but he also came to his senses, and said triumphantly: "You have nothing to do? Disperse, come here, either dry beer, or dry white, and drink foreign wine and drink fake." If you want to play in this circle in the future, you have to abide by the rules of playing here!"

Xiao Peng and Yang Meng had a good chat, and they didn't take this Guo Lie seriously, so it was a big deal to return the money, but when he heard Guo Lie's last words, Xiao Peng was angry, what do you mean? Selling fake wine is still justified? Playing in your circle must abide by your rules? Sorry, I'm not in the same circle as you.

Guo Lie said this sentence with a smug face, and also realized that what he said was wrong, so he quickly tilted his head and said to Di Wei: "That little Di, I didn't mean it。。。。。。 ”

It's a pity that he spoke a little late, only to see a wine bottle fly past his nose, slamming into the wall and shattering. In an instant, wine bottles and fake wine flew all over the sky.

"Li Chen, how about my performance art?" Xiao Peng picked up the second bottle of fake Hennessy from Li Chen in his hand: "Where is this bottle smashed?"
