After Bank and Albert introduce Link to his friends, they also have their own social circles. So leave Link alone and let him go and talk to these celebrities in the wine industry on his own.

Link, on the other hand, prefers to talk to smaller, more business-minded groups.

Most of these people are winery owners and sellers.

Today's grape owners are usually no longer just running wineries. Especially after some rich people enter this field, many of the owners are actually some rich people, or some celebrities.

In such a small group, the topic of conversation will not be limited to wine, nor will it focus on art. They are more interested in the economy and politics of the world.

"The biggest economic event now is probably the international investment blocking the chicken plate economy. The government of Jipan has completely conceded defeat, and the only wish of today's Jipan may not be to completely become an ATM for international travel funds. I have to say, it was a sad story. ”

A young tycoon from Russia laughed and said, "You know, they had a similar experience more than 30 years ago because of irresponsible economic policies." There was a sense of schadenfreude in his words.

His attitude is actually quite normal.

Russia, both before and now, has a kind of great-power chauvinism. It's just that it's also a country with a sad story.

With the collapse of the Soviet Union, Russia, which inherited more than 70% of its heritage, had a lot of resources, and after a long period of turmoil, it was finally stabilized, but as a result, it has been unable to develop under the joint suppression of the United States and NATO.

The Russian economy has had a period of rapid development for several years. For a while, it was called the BRICS along with China and other countries. However, of these five BRICS countries, only two countries in Asia can have relatively stable economic growth. After '08, the other three all experienced prolonged downturns, often even negative growth. Gold bricks, the name is not true!

This is certainly a blow to the self-esteem of the Russians.

And the chicken plate fought in China and Russia in the last century, and Russia lost. It was the first time the Russians were defeated in the East. The compensation for land cession can be described as a shame.

After World War II, there have been territorial disputes between the two sides. Chicken Pan has always been a bridgehead for the United States against the Soviet Union, and relations between the two sides have been strained. To this day, Jipan is still one of the bridgeheads for the United States to suppress Russia.

So, the Russians have a good opinion of the chicken plate?

Non-existent!

Perhaps it was because of the lack of good feelings that he spoke a little loudly, causing some people nearby to look sideways.

Among them was a wine seller from Chicken Plate. The sense of national honor of the Jipan people is still very strong. Hearing someone say their country in such a tone, even if it is a on the ground, there are still three points of anger, let alone a chicken pan person?

The chicken pan man came over with a wine glass, bowed slightly, and said, "I'm Yoshida Masao from the big chicken pan empire, may I ask who this gentleman is?"

He asked the Russian.

The Russian attracted unwanted attention to his words, and he told the chicken plate man his name.

Yoshida had a smile on his face, but justice in his eyes. He exclaimed, "I heard what the gentleman said just now. But I can't agree with it at all. Jipan has always actively assumed its own responsibilities for the development of the world economy and has always been a responsible big country. The current international investment in blocking China's economy is an act of disregard for the development of the world economy. International travel funds have blocked the chicken plate, plunging the economies of South and Southeast Asia, and even some countries in South America, into turmoil. In order to maintain the development of the world economy, Jipan has made great sacrifices in the blockade of international funds. The damage to the world economy caused by this economic incident has been mitigated. So I think what this gentleman just said is very inappropriate!"

The Russian smiled, and his voice was not small: "When a country can be hit by international funds, it means that there are major loopholes in the capital policy implemented by the country." As for the impact on the world economy, there was a reference 30 years ago. The chicken plate economy sank, but East and Southeast Asia prospered. But eight years later, it was the chicken plate that was not responsible again, and the Southeast Asian economy suffered a heavy blow. That time, it was China and Russia that were responsible. It was we and China who succeeded in stopping the further rampant use of international foreign investment. And this time, the chicken plate withdrew funds from abroad at the beginning to protect itself, and if this is also a performance of responsibility, I can't think of what kind of performance it is to be irresponsible. ”

What he said was that when international travel capital hit Hong Kong, China pushed it out behind the scenes. And in 1998, international money made a comeback and wanted to attack the Russian stock market. As a result, Lisboa cut off the water with a single move, and a decree bankrupted many institutions on Wall Street. Since then, Wall Street has not dared to have any superfluous thoughts about the Russian stock market.

It was only after that that that the Asian financial crisis really subsided.

However, the performance of the chicken plate in that economic turmoil was not very clever, not only did it not keep its own territory, but also took funds from other countries to protect itself, and allowed the yen to depreciate. This has made the economy of Southeast Asian countries even worse.

Therefore, what does Yoshida Masao say that chicken plate has always been a "responsible big country", and that a country with a big chicken intestine dares to call it a big country? Of course, there is no need to discuss this.

As for the three words "responsible", after hearing it, "hehe" is just two sounds.

"Mr. Hans, you are an American, and it is said that this attack on the chicken plate was planned by the Americans. What do you think about this? "The Russians are not fools either. Of course, he wouldn't fight with the chicken pan man alone. He saw that Link was young, and at the same time he was a yellow race. Bring Linkla in to distract the fire.

Seeing that he had brought the flames of war to himself, Link smiled and said, "I personally don't have much research on politics. However, I have heard that in the 70s of the last century, the German chancellor knelt down in Poland to repent to the victims of World War II on behalf of Germany, and Italy has never denied its crimes in World War II. Of the three Axis powers, the only one who still refuses to admit the crime of aggression is the chicken pan. And I've heard people say that the Axis powers of World War II were enemy powers?"

The Russians were stunned for a moment, nodded with a smile and said, "Yes, they are enemy countries." ”

"For enemy countries that have recognized their mistakes and corrected them, such as Germany and Italy, we must of course forgive them for their mistakes. But for an enemy country that does not repent to the death, how can it be taught a lesson!

"This is the argument of you Chinese!"

"Although I am an American citizen, I must admit that I shed Chinese blood. At least the Chinese have never denied anything. Therefore, I have never been ashamed of my own blood! Moreover, the Chinese's argument is also the argument of the whole of Asia, at least until your prime minister no longer always goes to the Yasukuni public toilet, the Chinese's argument is correct. ”

"You...... That's ......"

Link interrupted him and said, "That's right, that's also the Chinese's argument." But anything can go in there! What could it be if it wasn't a public toilet?"

The chicken pan man looked at him with a playful look on the others, and no matter how much he had national honor, he knew that he should be defeated at this time. If he stays any longer, it will only make him more embarrassed.

Now the chicken plate has also become a joke of the world – once again an ATM. The chicken plate is no longer the domineering leak test to buy the chicken plate in the United States. It has long ceased to be the boss of Asia, and their voice does not matter.

Seeing that the chicken plate people were in defeat, the Russian laughed and raised his glass to Link and said, "What Mr. Hans said just now did hit the point. A country that refuses to admit its mistakes should indeed be taught a lesson. ”

He paused for a moment, and then added: "I heard that Mr. Hans is very accurate about speculative markets, for example, GE stock in the United States has really plummeted as you said. In this blockade of the chicken plate, I made an investment, which should be able to make tens of millions of dollars in floating profits. Didn't you get involved this time?"

Now he dares to say that it is because the blockade of the chicken plate has been revealed. I am not afraid to say it, on the contrary, since it is profitable, it is still a kind of capital to show off.

Now that the international tour has won, Link believes that Neil should also make a lot of profits, including his investment of 1.5 billion. He wasn't going to show it off, though. He shook his head and said, "You know, I've been busy selling wine lately. I didn't pay much attention to the chicken plate!"

"That's a shame. But if you sell all your wine, you can make tens of billions of dollars. It's okay not to pay attention to the chicken plate. ”

His words made the others look at Link in some surprise.

If it weren't for the Russians, they wouldn't have thought to calculate what the price of Link's wines meant.

Both Queen and Huoyun retail in the U.S. market for as much as $3,200. And for these two wines alone, Link has more than two million bottles. Even if the wholesale price is only $2,000, that means that those two wines alone are worth $4 billion.

Combined with other wines, it is said that his wineries have tens of millions of bottles. If all of them are sold, doesn't it mean that he can earn more than 10 billion?

Link snorted and said, "If it's sold in large quantities, the price is likely to go down." And the cost of making that kind of wine is not low. ”

He didn't want to be too much of a concern, because there were people in the wine industry here, and if he was red-eyed, he might get him in trouble.

Then a voice remembered: "Gentlemen, ladies, welcome to the ISC Annual Reception." Last year, there have been welcome changes in both the wine and spirits industries around the world. Traditional wineries are constantly improving their craftsmanship and new wineries are bringing new vitality to the industry......"

The master of ceremonies, Balabala, spoke for a few minutes, and then gave the floor to the ISC President. Then it's time to get into the awards.

In this session, the first prize was of course the award-winning wine. Different wine categories and different awards are awarded in batches.

Because there are a lot of award-winning wines, it is impossible to award them one by one, and they are all going up in groups.

"The following Silver Award wine winners are now invited to the stage to receive their awards. ”

At this point, Link became the most eye-catching one in the field. The certificate he got on the stage couldn't be held with one pair of hands, so he could only put some at his feet.

The master of ceremonies quipped, "Mr. Hans, I think you need help." ”

Link said into the microphone in a serious manner, "Actually, no. I just need a cardboard box!" makes people a little envious and jealous.

You know, many wineries can only come up with one or two wines at most. And you may not win the prize. And Link has received more certificates than most countries as a whole. And everyone knows that he will go to power one more time next.

Yes, Link is on stage again. This time, he received eleven gold medal certificates. And this time a waiter actually brought him a cardboard box. In the midst of laughter, he also smiled and carefully put the certificates into the cardboard box piece by piece.

However, the finale of this awards reception is the Best Winemaker of the Year award. Because that's not the same as Gold Medal wines, which can have a lot of them every year, and there's only one best winemaker.

Albert was the biggest favorite this year, and no one was upset. He got the honor he wanted.

It can be said that the Blue Lagoon wine was in the limelight that night, not only winning 11 Gold Awards, 13 Silver Awards, but also the best winemaker for making Blue Lagoon wine.

As the owner of the Blue Lagoon wines, Link became the focus of the whole reception.
