Chapter 1281: The Wine King of 1613

Shi Lei now knows a lot about red wine.

The so-called long-term illness becomes a doctor, drinking too much red wine, it is impossible not to know more.

Château Mouton has always been a wonder in the history of French red wine, since the twenties and thirties of the twentieth century, it has been famous, although it is not one of the traditional four top wineries, but the price of red wine often exceeds the four top four wineries.

This 1945 red wine can be described as the top product of the top red wines, and it is estimated that there are not many barrels left in the world.

It wasn't until the 70s of the last century that the owner of Château Mouton said that he wanted to upgrade the winery, so it was no surprise that it was successfully upgraded, becoming the only winery to upgrade since the implementation of the classification system for red wineries in the Bordeaux region, and also made the four top wineries gorgeously become the five top wineries.

If nothing else, the fact that it can be upgraded just by saying it is an inspirational classic is definitely an inspirational classic, and it has been firmly in the ranks of the five top five wineries with the most expensive ranks, and it has been until now.

Collecting wine is never the goal, the ultimate goal is of course to drink it.

The feature of drinking one bottle less also makes the remaining red wine more and more expensive.

For example, this 1945 Mouton House has never been priceless, and it is impossible to buy it at all.

Today, Andre, a local tyrant in Haiti, opened a bottle as soon as he said it, and it didn't hurt at all. However, considering that this is because Shi Lei saved his life, it seems that this gift is not too powerful.

After the two of them took a sip, the red wine was poured into the decanter, like this level of red wine, without an hour or two of decanting time, it is definitely not the best time to taste.

Therefore, with a wave of his hand, Andre gave the servant in the winery another bottle of Kanti who had been awake for a long time, and then, as if he was drinking boiled water, he drank with Shi Lei cup by glass.

In the wine and conversation with the beautiful translator, Shi Lei slowly learned that Andrey's family is the richest person in Haiti, and this second to none is not a polite statement, their family is the richest man in Haiti, and their assets are more than quadrupled compared to the second richest family.

Although the current president of Haiti has the support of the Americans to enter this big stage, at home, it is also with the support of Andrew's father that he can finally sit in this position.

Shi Lei doesn't know how much exaggeration there is in Andre's words, but in Andrei's mouth, as long as their family does not put forward such absurd demands as genocide or large-scale killing of civilians, basically whether it is understandable or incomprehensible, the Haitian president will implement it without discount.

It's kind of scary.

After hesitating, Shi Lei still asked: "How rich is your family?" ”

The female translator told Andre truthfully, and Andre laughed and said, "Dear Shi, I'm sorry that I have done some research on your background on the way to pick you up. I know that you are a self-made, admirable entrepreneur, and now your net worth should have steadily exceeded $2 billion. And the total wealth of the companies you control is already close to 10 billion dollars. That's probably the money my family spent to help Haiti's presidential campaign. It is no exaggeration to say that if it weren't for the fact that many of our family's industries are related to military industries and other industries, and the wealth cannot be fully exposed, my father would at least be among the top ten richest people in the world. ”

These words made the female translator hesitate for a long time, but Andre saw her hesitation and urged several times before the female translator told Shi Lei.

Moreover, before translating this paragraph, the female translator made it clear to Shi Lei very cautiously that Shi Lei must keep this information confidential.

Shi Lei didn't doubt this, after all, he had seen organizations like the Pupil of the Night, and he also knew that there were invisible rich people not only in China, but also abroad. In any corner of this world, there will be some people's wealth that cannot be fully exposed.

The time was almost up, and Andre carried the decanter containing the 1945 Mouton House and dragged Shi Lei outside.

He pointed to the large vineyards in front of him and said, "These are all vineyards owned by my winery, but none of this is important, I bought this winery because it is long enough." What you may not know is that this winery, despite its limited scale, has a history of more than 300 years. The original owner of the winery has a collection of some of the best wines in history. However, his descendants are really a little unlucky, and they have almost sold their ancestors' treasures over the years. Legend has it that the owner of this winery has a bottle of Lafite King from 1613, and there is only one bottle left in the world. However, his descendants searched for many years, but they could not find this bottle of red wine. It is now generally accepted that this bottle of wine is long gone, but I have looked up a lot of information and believe that this bottle of red wine must still be hidden in this winery. So, I spent more than 500 million euros to buy this winery. It's for that bottle of wine king......"

Shi Lei listened to it and said with a smile: "Can you really drink the wine more than 400 years ago?" ”

"It doesn't matter if I can drink it or not, the important thing is that I can find even the empty bottle of wine. I have been most interested in eating since I was a child, and red wine is my biggest preference, I have invested in many red wineries in France, Spain, Chile and Australia over the years, and there are thirty or forty new and old ones combined. Some of these wineries were acquired outright, and some were invested in shares, with a total cost of more than $20 billion. But, dear Shi, I see that you are also a connoisseur of red wine, and you should know that ordinary wineries do not refuse to be bought or invested, but those historical wineries are not. Over the years, my family has done a lot of resource integration for our red winery, but the sales volume is not small, but the reputation is very limited. I have an ambition to make the top five wineries into the big six, and what Mouton can do, I can do. In addition to improving the process of winemaking, the most important thing is to have enough historical precipitation. This winery is old enough, if I can find that bottle of wine king in the 17th century, the first-class winery will definitely not be qualified, but the second-class winery will definitely be able to increase the number of places. As a second-class winery, I can become a director of the Red Wine Industry Association. ”

For Andre's obsession, Shi Lei can't quite understand, the ideal of a foodie, sometimes it really catches people off guard.

Soon, this bottle of Mouton, which was worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, was divided between the two, and even the female translator got a cup.

When he watched the female translator pick up the glass of red wine, he always felt that the female translator had a feeling that she was almost crying.

Andre took Shi Lei around the winery.

It is said that the main building of the winery is actually an ancient castle, and from the mottled exterior wall, it can be seen that this ancient castle is indeed two or three hundred years old.

Andre told Shi Lei that according to the original winery owner, there was a tunnel in the castle, and that tunnel led directly to a wine cellar.

The bottle of wine from 1613 was hidden in that cellar.

However, it has been three months since he bought the winery, and he has not found the authentic at all. The former owner of the winery, after decades of searching, has not been able to find that authenticity.

Shi Lei said with a smile: "With your financial resources, you shouldn't be reluctant to simply demolish this ancient castle and find out that tunnel, right?" ”

Andrei waved his hand and said, "Go and get that codex." ”
