Chapter 9: In Search of Good Wine
A bottle of forgetful wine costs 10,000 yuan. Such a high price, even in the first and second level stalls, may not appear, naturally immediately frightened many casual customers.
In this regard, some people left with disdain on their faces, and some people were shocked and a little curious. However, whenever they proposed to taste the drink, Yi Xingchen refused without hesitation.
Many people retreated one after another, and some people muttered that Yi Xingchen was crazy for money.
Yi Xingchen ignored these rumors, and still calmly waited for customers who really knew the goods and had actual purchase intentions. Because he feels that his price is not high, and only people who really understand wine will know the value of forgetting worries.
Two hours later, the exhibition center is becoming more and more lively.
In front of Yi Xingchen's booth, there were still people coming and going, and the people who stopped to watch the wine bottles were still two or three kittens. But Yi Xingchen was still not worried at all, and waited calmly.
Until, close to eleven o'clock in the afternoon, at the entrance of the fair, several foreigners in extraordinary clothes came. Accompanied by the officials of the city of Brewing Incense, they walked into the trade fair in a big way, which immediately attracted the keen attention of the exhibitors.
Anyone with a little business acumen will immediately realize that this is a big customer.
Fifty-two-year-old Tom Sterling, after following the company's professional sommeliers, stopped by a booth and watched them taste each wine, and he wished that this was what he was looking for, a real wine.
However, every time it was only exchanged for the shake of the head of the professional taster, Tom couldn't help but sigh in frustration under the repeated setbacks.
Tom's company, Rolley Co., Ltd., was once a well-known international wine agent in the United States, and also has a high reputation among its peers around the world. At its peak, the famous liquor represented by Luolai Company could even be distributed in 50 countries on five continents at the same time.
However, in the past two years, because of a mistake in decision-making, the Rolley company offended a large European family, causing them to lose the agency rights of several European wineries and several world-famous wines.
The loss of agency rights in Europe also affected the market in the United States. Luolai Company has lost the favor of the American high society, and under the influence of this, Luolai Company has directly or indirectly lost 20% of the world's low-end liquor market, and the loss can be regarded as extremely serious.
Although the roots of Luolai Company in the United States can still represent a large number of mid-range famous wines, which is enough to support the company, although affected by this storm, it is finally not bankrupt, but it is still greatly affected, and the company's business has obviously entered a period of decline.
Because the high-quality high-end wine producers in Europe and the United States rejected the agency of the Luolai Company, which affected the level and reputation of the Luolai Company to a certain extent, in order to save the situation, Tom had to take the company's professional tasters to the famous wine countries around the world to find good wine. This time, I came to China.
Tom was trying to find a good wine that tasted so good that it could be accepted by the upper class of America. After packaging, it was promoted to the high-end market with the original channels of Luolai Company, and the reputation of Luolai Company in the American high society was restored.
Unfortunately, Tom went to several liquor fairs all over China and never found a good wine that amazed them. Of course, good wine is not without, but what they need is good wine that fits the American diet.
Although Tom came to China to participate in the exhibition, his goal was not to be famous in China, but to find a good wine that was not well-known in the world, but was of excellent quality.
Only such a liquor, after being further packaged by Luolai Company, can become a famous wine with great potential and can impact the market and make profits for Luolai Company.
Tom won't bother with things that aren't profitable.
Tom and his entourage, passing through more than a dozen booths, did not find a wine that satisfied them all, and the fellow sommelier had already tried more than 30 different wines in a row, and they were really tired and tired.
Almost all of these people from the Luolai Company began to wonder if they could find the good wine they were looking for at this fair.
"Boss, I guess it's hard to find the good wine we want in this brewing market. It's better for you to go back to China first to deal with the company's affairs, and then I'll look for it slowly. Luo Jiahui, head of the Huaguo branch of Luolai Company, who accompanied him, said.
Tom glanced at Luo Jiahui and the Rolley Company sommelier behind him.
Aside from the element of alcohol quantity, it is impossible for a taster to fight fatigue all the time. In fact, they don't have much to try at one time, and tasting too much wine too much will only affect their taste buds and thus their judgment. The wine in this exhibition is very varied, and it is impossible to make an accurate judgment to achieve the purpose of his trip and find the real good wine if the taster really tastes and identifies all the wines one by one at the exhibition, not to mention that it takes too much time.
However, if he really left Huaguo and returned to the company, Tom was not reconciled.
Tom thought about it and finally made a decision. He pointed to the second and third booths in addition to the first and third booths, respectively, and said, "Well, let's make a final effort, but we have to go our separate ways, and in an hour, we will return to the door and assemble." If you still don't find anything, you will make another arrangement at that time. ”
When the officials of Brewing Xiang City saw Tom's decision, they knew that they didn't like all the wines they had tasted just now, which made the accompanying officials secretly disappointed, such a big customer, of course, they didn't want to miss it. It's just that they can't do anything to influence Tom and his party, so they can only have a little hope for the next split action. Seeing the opportunity, the accompanying officials also immediately arranged for interpreters to follow separately so that they could assist from the side.
Tom and his entourage, the movement was not small, and naturally it also alarmed Yi Xingchen.
The corners of Yi Xingchen's mouth lifted slightly. The emperor paid off, the real opportunity he had been waiting for finally came, Tom and the others, obviously not ordinary customers, must be the key to his business opportunities.
Yi Xingchen believes in the charm of Forget Worry Wine, as long as Tom can come to his booth and taste Forget Worry Wine, he will definitely make his eyes shine. But Yi Xingchen wanted to quickly attract Tom's attention and make the Forget Worry wine stand out in this fine wine, so Yi Xingchen was ready to play some tricks.
So, Yi Xingchen remained silent, but slowly opened a bottle of Forget Worry Wine to be used for tasting, and poured two glasses of wine
"What kind of fragrance is this!" Tom had only walked a dozen meters, and a faint strange fragrance had rushed into his nose. This fragrance seemed to flow along the blood all over his body, making him exhausted, and the pressure and haze in Fang Cai's heart seemed to be swept away.
