Chapter 35: Fun Fact

Pei Li went to New York first and brought a bottle of good wine.

This time it's a Pinot Noir red wine from Napa Valley, California. Wine beginners may be aware of France's position in the traditional market, but scientists like Juchen have never believed in evil, believing that buying French Bordeaux or Burgundy wines at a high price is a sign of being blinded, especially for the middle class, and unnecessary.

In 1976, there was a "Paris Trial" in the wine industry, there was a British buddy, a magical buddy, actually imported wine from the United States to Paris to sell, for marketing, he held a blind tasting party, invited the top wine tasters in France at that time, the boss of Bordeaux wine, the boss of Burgundy, the editor-in-chief of wine magazines, etc., super luxury lineup.

In the face of the tasting results of these bigwigs, no one dared to say half a word, and the result was ...... The wines from the Napa Valley in the United States won in all aspects, and even the British buddy was dumbfounded, and the world's wine merchants, including the American wine merchants, breathed a sigh of relief, and the so-called French wine was nothing more than that.

Time magazine's news for this blind tasting was the "Paris Trial". Ju Chen, who knew about this "accident", was even more scornful of the traditional French craftsmanship, and Pei Li always knew that Juchen did not reject the wines produced by the "New World", and even had a good impression.

A model of the New World is Napa Valley in California, after the Paris trial, Americans have become particularly confident in their wines, and the founder of Cisco, a big man who likes wine, once bought the American wine collection of the brand "Howling Eagle" for a sky-high price of $500,000.

In the days of the dot-com bubble, wine upstarts like Howling Eagle gained a reputation as "worship wines", and small brands often outcost established wineries such as Lafite.

Ju Chen, a science Internet celebrity, has the nickname of "Three Nos" in the United States, namely: no signing, no group photos, and no chatting. This is a brand deliberately created by Juchen, so that life is much simpler, and he can remain mysterious, and he can sell more money when he is on the show, and now his living expenses rely on TV shows from time to time to make some extra money.

Professor Sanbu received his old boss Pei Li in a separate small teacher's apartment, and now he is an old lover. It's not easy for an old lover to come to New York secretly behind her husband's back.

Juchen knew that there was a delicious steak shop near the school, and he brought back the freshly made steak from there to eat with red wine, and he was very happy.

Pei Li tasted the take-out steak and was full of praise: "It's very good, you can really enjoy life now, but we can't see each other often when it's so far away." ”

Juchen chewed the steak and took a sip of red wine: "I will go back soon, when I earn enough money, I will have no place to work when I go back now." After gilding in New York, you can go back to the middle class. The car I just bought is still with the loan shark. ”

Pei Liqi said: "What?

Ju Chen: "Yes, a secured loan is not considered a loan shark, I will treat them as if they are keeping the car for me." ”

Pei Li: "How much is the interest?"

Juchen: "8%. ”

Pei Li: "That's not a good deal." ”

Juchen: "It's okay, I use it for online gambling, and the income is stable at 10%, and I still earn, I borrowed 500,000 yuan, and I can earn 120 yuan a day." ”

For the first time, Pei Li knew that Juchen had a habit of gambling, and exclaimed: "What should I do if I lose?"

Juchen said the probability theory of his blind bets, it takes an average of 11.2 years to lose it all, anyway, Pei Li thinks that this probability is still quite large, but even if he loses it, it is not a big deal, so after thinking about it, he put his mind at ease.

Pei Li: "It's a pity, last time I heard that your endorsement fee was 10 million US dollars, I was still envious, I didn't expect to be banned in a blink of an eye, otherwise, take on a few more similar projects, you will really mix into the upper class, more than I earn, I helped you inquire, it was a guy named Zhong Gui who made a ghost, you have a grudge against him?"

Juchen was surprised: "You can hear this?"

Pei Li glanced at him: "I know you don't like to yell at civil servants, but I still have to tell you that our family is not vegetarian, although Zhong Gui can't be allowed to bow his head, at least their family doesn't dare to harm our family casually." If you had come to me earlier, this matter would have been resolved. ”

Ju Chen: "What about now? Forget it, the contract has been revoked anyway, and there is no such good thing anymore, but this BAT is really hateful, as if he is secretly playing the advertisement I filmed." ”

Pei Li was overjoyed: "Yes? Great, if there is evidence, sue them, maybe you will earn more than $10 million." ”

Ju Chen: "How can it be so easy? People are not fools, if they can be easily caught with sore feet, they won't sneak around, I don't like trouble, don't trouble them for the time being." ”

Pei Li: "How can this kind of thing be troublesome? Your old mistake has been made again! Let me run it, when the time comes, you will have a piece of my pie, let's sign a contract, and I will be your agent." You don't know how famous you are now, but it's an international reputation, and it's okay to sue the head office of a tobacco company. ”

Juchen: "Hehe! By the way, I'll tell you an interesting fact, I helped the FBI reverse engineer the secret tube, I didn't directly participate in it, I told the three MIT students the method, they directly participated, and guess what? One of the people I admire the most, secretly unlocked a bitcoin account, and then stole $50 million worth of bitcoin inside, and the FBI knew that it might be him, and there was no evidence, this student is amazing!"

Pei Li: "Wow, it's really amazing, Bitcoin is so strong, I know that the thief is there, but there is no way to deal with it, haha! I also tell you a news, after you became famous, our secret cylinder was also famous, now if you are looking for a receiver at the right time, even the patent is sold, it should be able to sell for tens of millions of dollars, do you want to sell it?"

Ju Chen: "Oh, really, sell me and I can go home!"

Pei Li: "Well, can you stay in New York a little longer? Isn't it gold-plated? Now that your ass is just getting hot, I feel sorry for you." ”

Ju Chen: "It's painful to take classes in English, I've been working hard to prepare for class, but I still don't feel good, I don't have much interaction with American students, I feel very blushing, and I feel sorry for my salary." ”

Pei Li: "Hold on, come on! Since Columbia University didn't say anything, it means that you must be able to do it." ”

Juchen had no choice but to borrow wine to drown his sorrows.

Ivanka is coming in the next two days, and Juchen wants to resist not having a bed scene with Pei Li, but ...... The old lover hasn't seen each other for so long, and he doesn't want to linger for a while, it's simply inhumane, so what should happen still has to happen, and after the catalysis of red wine, the bed scene is also very lingering and compassionate, which disrupts all Juchen's plans.

Although he knew that the big beauty of Luo Ti who was crawling under his body had already become famous, every time he lingered like this, Juchen always had the illusion of a junior brother, always thinking that she belonged to him alone, and then wanted to swear to her, for a long time, it would take a lot of energy to suppress this childish illusion.
