"Great, thank you for your appreciation Mr. Zhang, please bring your beautiful and kind lady with you at that time, I will entertain the two of you with the grandest welcome ceremony, how about it?" Napoleon VII seemed to really want to get that dream of Nanke, and it could be seen that he was so excited when he said this.

"Monsieur Napoleon, although I thank you very much for your kindness, but I prefer to be quiet, and my wife does not want to socialize with too many strangers, so let's just have something to eat and drink, right?"

"But Mr. Zhang, as my most respected guest, if you don't hold a cocktail party, you won't be able to show your respect, in this case, I will be uneasy." Napoleon VII said with a frown.

Does he respect Zhang Tianyuan?

In fact, everyone knows that if he didn't want that Nan Ke dream, he would not have been able to respect Zhang Tianyuan so much, after all, no matter how powerful Zhang Tianyuan is, he is just a businessman, and no matter how down-and-out he is, he is also a nobleman.

There should still be a class gap between the aristocracy and the merchants.

This was the case in the eyes of Napoleon VII.

"Hahaha, Monsieur Napoleon, you are so polite, the drinking party may be respectful to you Westerners, but it will be a bit troublesome to me, do you want to make me unhappy? Don't worry, what I like is antiques, it's art, as long as you can come up with good art, then I'll be very happy, and I don't have to hold any drinks at all. ”

If it is in China, Zhang Tianyuan may be willing to participate in this kind of banquet of upper-class people, because this is a good occasion to meet friends, and many people have not had the opportunity to participate if they want to participate. But in France there is no need for this. Originally, it was not very good with the brotherhood, and there were more people. The more troublesome it is, in case it is assassinated. It's too late to cry.

And as he said, his wife Liu Mengxun doesn't like such occasions very much, mainly because she has experienced too much.

Liu Mengxun was born in such a family, and he has participated in many drinking parties since he was a child, and it may be fresh at first, but gradually, the real smile on his face has become a false smirk, and he can't be angry at those who are obsessed with staring at him, and he has to smile at it. The feeling was so unpleasant.

It was okay when she wasn't married, but now that she's married, she still does that, she feels as if she has done something sorry for Zhang Tianyuan.

Although she was a little worried, Zhang Tianyuan was not so careful, at most she was just a little jealous, but she didn't want Zhang Tianyuan to have any cranky thoughts, so on such an occasion, she tried not to participate if she could, she was also tired. I feel so stupid to always wear a mask and be a snake.

Zhang Tianyuan's words have actually been said very clearly, most people in the West don't like to beat around the bush, so he said it very directly. I'm just interested in the antiques in your house, and I don't have the slightest interest in your drinking party and fox friends, and I don't want to be looked at like a giant panda.

"Okay. Since that's the case, let's do what Mr. Zhang said. It just so happens that I have some good wines there, many of them from 1850 to 1880. The inside of the zài wine cellar has been kept and will only be opened when the very distinguished guests come, I am sure you will enjoy it......"

Napoleon VII did not study Chinese culture, so he did not know whether Zhang Tianyuan's words were polite or original, so he could only follow the understanding of the French.

Fortunately, he met Zhang Tianyuan, if it was other Chinese, it is estimated that this will be embarrassing, because many Chinese speak more tactfully and politely, in that case, it is likely to be just polite, not sincere, it will be very embarrassing.

Napoleon VII was not very interested in works of art, both Eastern and Western, and for him a painting of Picasso or Leonardo da Vinci was less interesting than a piece of priceless jewelry.

This doesn't mean that he won't appreciate it, in fact, born in such a family, he still has a certain appreciation for Western artworks, but those things in his opinion, that is, decorating his home and hanging it on the wall to see, are really not as real as jewelry, not to mention that he bought that jewelry to defend his love.

So no matter what, he wants to get Nan Ke's dream, even if it is to exchange it for oriental antiques or Western artworks in his home.

As he said, he is usually reluctant to take out the good wine in the cellar, because there are not many left, if it weren't for Nan Ke's dream, he would only take out red wine within five years, and he wouldn't take it that good at all.

In fact, even if the wine is less than five years old, as long as it is of high grade, the price is very expensive.

Don't forget that this is France, and it's the world's most famous wine region.

The conquest of the European continent by the armies of the Roman Empire also promoted viticulture and winemaking, and in the 1st century AD, the conquest of Gaul (present-day France) led to the origin of French wine, which was first planted in the Rhône Valley in southern France. Arrived in the Bordeaux region in the 2nd century.

The development of wine in the Middle Ages was due to the Christian Church. Wine is mentioned 521 times in the Bible. Jesus said at the Last Supper that "bread is my flesh and wine is my blood", Christianity regards wine as holy blood, and church personnel make viticulture and winemaking their work. For example, winemaking in Burgundy, France, owes it to the careful cultivation of the monks and the preferences of the popes who moved from Rome to Avignon.

Wine travels the world in the footsteps of missionaries. The introduction of Western wine to China in the 17th century was also carried out by missionaries.

In 1864, the grape aphid plague swept through France, destroying most of France's vineyards, but thanks to the invention of grafting French grape branches on pest-resistant American grape roots, French grape cultivation was extinct.

Therefore, the wine before 1864 is simply too precious, and Napoleon VII can take out this wine to entertain Zhang Tianyuan, which can really be said to be a lot of effort.

William. Younger famously said, "A bunch of grapes is beautiful, still and pure, but it is only fruit; Once pressed, it becomes an animal, because when it becomes wine, it has the life of an animal. ”

French red wine is famous all over the world, France is not only the country that produces the most variety of wines in the world, but also produces countless world-famous high-end wines, its taste variety is very varied, France produces red wine in six major production areas, including Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne and Alsace, Rova River Valley, Rhône River Valley, etc., among which Bordeaux with mild climate and iron-rich soil is the most representative.

If you come to France and don't drink red wine, it's like not eating mutton bubbles when you go to Shaanzhou, and you don't eat roast duck in the imperial capital when you go to the emperor, which means that you haven't been here.

When he heard Napoleon's words, Zhang Tianyuan almost drooled.

"Well, my wife is still resting, she's a little tired today, why don't you wait a little later, when she wakes up, I'll call you again, and then go to your house together?" Zhang Tianyuan thought for a while.

Such a good opportunity, he doesn't want to be alone, he must bring Liu Mengxun, well, call Xu Yue, Blue Phoenix and Serpentine again, in this way, with safety and jewelry experts, it will be easier to negotiate, and everyone can enjoy delicious red wine, which is not a good thing.

"We're going to talk about it."

"Well, I'll definitely go today."

"Okay, I'll call someone to make arrangements, and I'll send a car to pick you up when you plan to leave." Napoleon VII said excitedly.

"That's not necessary, we have the car, you can send a driver or guide when the time comes, I don't know how to get to your home." Zhang Tianyuan said with a smile.

"Okay, no problem, then Mr. Zhang, you go on, I'm going to prepare something, so I won't bother you." By the way, that Nan Ke dream must not be sold. ”

"Don't worry, I'll keep it for you." For Zhang Tianyuan, money is just a number now, if he can exchange Nan Ke Yimeng for his favorite antiques, it will definitely be more satisfying to him than selling.

"Thank you, Mr. Zhang." After Napoleon VII had finished speaking, he took his leave, left the hotel, and while getting into his car, he took out his mobile phone and began to make calls, he felt that since there was no drinking party, he should prepare a good banquet.

"Is it Blue? Yes, I'm Louie, I may have to entertain a guest of honor today, please prepare a sumptuous banquet for me, preferably a relatively famous French dish to make everything, Marseille fish soup, foie gras steak, Paris lobster, red wine pheasant, Safoulo chicken, chicken liver steak, etc., you can do it yourself......"

"But sir, some of these dishes are just famous, but they are not really delicious, and they are not as good as some home-cooked dishes that are not famous." The other party said.

"It doesn't matter, my guest is a Chinese, he shouldn't have eaten French food a few times, these must be served, and the rest you can make some delicious home-cooked food, the most important thing is to satisfy him, understand?" Napoleon VII said.

"Okay, Ichiē listen to your orders."

If you hear it, it is estimated that many Chinese will mistakenly think that they are not in France, not in Europe, but in some simple place in China.

Westerners are notoriously stingy, especially when it comes to eating and drinking, when guests come, at most they will prepare some salad and fruit plates for you, who would prepare such a rich wine banquet.

Zhang Tianyuan is really interested, and he can brag about it after he goes back.

……

Whether it is foreign or domestic, go to someone else's house as a guest, if it is more formal, it must be to bring a few gifts, this gift is to see the mind, it does not matter whether it is expensive or not, of course, if the gift is more expensive, the host will definitely be happier, there is no doubt about it.

When Napoleon VII was preparing a banquet for Zhang Tianyuan, Zhang Tianyuan was also preparing gifts. (To be continued......)
