Chapter 1158: Black-box operation

As soon as the person in charge said this, the audience was in an uproar. Most people have never even heard of the name of Château Teapot, but it is surprising that this winery won the first place.

And Simon Lafite couldn't accept this result at all, and shouted in an uproar: "This can't be! How can Château Lafite lose to a new winery, there must be a conspiracy here, I don't accept it!"

With Simon Lafite in the lead, representatives of the wineries of the Haute Couture Alliance also spoke out that they did not accept the result. Some people even pointed the finger directly at the organizers of the tasting, accusing them of black-box operations.

This person is also a famous winery, even if they lose to Château Lafite and the emerging Australian winery, but now they are all losing to the little-known Château Saint Keg, which they absolutely cannot bear. Representatives of several wineries also took the opportunity to pressure the organizers of the tasting to change the results.

Xiao Ping and Hao Chau had long expected that the winery's newly brewed red wine would get good results, so they were very indifferent. The two just smiled at each other, then smiled as Simon Raffi and the others protested to the organizers as if they were putting on a clown show.

The person in charge was also very self-contained, but quietly faced the protests of Simon and others, and didn't even say a word of argument.

Seeing that the other party had been keeping a low profile, and even Xiao Ping and Hao Sue, who had won the championship, did not make any celebratory moves, Simon and the others were even more convinced that there was something wrong with the selection result, and they made even more trouble.

Simon Raffi made a fuss for a while, seeing that the other party neither explained nor argued, and felt that more pressure should be put on them. So he used his gestures to silence his companions, who were still arguing. Loudly announce to everyone: "We at Château Lafite believe that the tasting should explain the results in detail, if the explanation is not satisfactory to everyone." From next year, Château Lafite will be boycotting the annual tasting of new wines indefinitely!"

Since Château Lafite has taken the lead, representatives of the Alliance of Fine Wines have also spoken out. Many representatives of other wineries looked at Simon and others, who were in a hurry. couldn't help frowning secretly.

After all, these are all well-known wineries, and if they boycott next year's tasting, the tasting's influence will be greatly reduced. This also made many winery representatives hesitate, secretly thinking about whether they would come to the tasting if this really happened next year.

However, the person in charge did not seem to be affected by these threats, and still had a calm expression. He looked at Simon and the others coldly, and only then did they say lightly, "It's your freedom to boycott the tasting, but the Wine Association will issue a statement stating that you are losing to the wines of other wineries at the tasting." That's why I chose to launch it!"

As soon as the words of the person in charge came out, it immediately caused a commotion. If the Wine Association did make such a statement, it would be a naked-naked slap in the face of Château Lafite and other wineries who claimed to boycott the tasting.

The quality of red wine is not as good as others, and it is really a loss of face and lining to boycott the tasting because of this. As long as Simon Raffi and others still have a little bit of sanity, they will never allow this to happen.

Simon really couldn't accept this statement, and immediately shouted loudly: "Obviously, the tasting committee colluded with the Holy Pot Winery to operate in the dark and won this year's championship by despicable means, and now you actually say that it is our fault." This is absolutely unacceptable!"

As soon as Simon's words fell, Xiao Ping said leisurely: "Mr. Simon Lafite, what you just said has seriously hurt the reputation of Château Château Sacred Pot! As the owner of Château Sacred Pot, I reserve the right to file a lawsuit against you and the Château Lafite you represent!"

Xiao Ping's words made Simon even angrier. immediately sneered: "The cheater still has the face to mention his reputation, it's a big joke!"

Xiao Ping said-for-tat: "Mr. Simon, you have not only damaged the reputation of the Holy Pot Winery by saying this. Also strict zhòng hurt the reputation of the Red Wine Association, I build yì you take back all the words before. Otherwise, we'll see you in court!"

"Hmph, I'm just going to sue you guys!" Simon said hatefully, "It's unfair to everyone else to do this." I am confident that the court will give a fair verdict!"

The person in charge was indeed a chronic man, and let Xiao Ping and Simon quarrel until now, and then said slowly: "In view of the fact that the results of this year's selection are indeed somewhat unexpected, the jury met overnight and decided to ask the Holy Pot Winery to take out a few more bottles of red wine to participate in the selection, and select a few representatives from all of you to taste it, I believe this should relieve everyone's doubts." ”

Hearing the person in charge say this, everyone couldn't help but secretly give him a middle finger in their hearts. It's too much to talk and gasp, you announced this decision earlier, and everyone wouldn't have to wait here for so long, right?

When the person in charge said this, he made a gesture to the staff next to him, and soon a waiter brought a few bottles of red wine and wine glasses. The winery representatives who participated in the tasting were also discussing which person would be the most suitable to taste the red wine on behalf of everyone.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Xiao Ping couldn't help but whisper to Hao Suo: "Don't you think there is something wrong with the behavior of the person in charge? He seems to have deliberately provoked Simon and them, and only announced the final decision after these guys said things that should not be said." ”

Hao Sue nodded lightly and said, "Well, you don't have to think much about this." Actually, that person ...... It was a colleague of mine more than twenty years ago. ”

"No wonder!" It was only at this time that Xiao Ping understood the key to the matter, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "I didn't expect Hao Sue to have such a wide range of contacts, now Simon and his fox friends will be unlucky!"

While Xiao Ping and Hao Chau were talking, the representatives of the others had already been elected. The people who can be trusted by everyone are not only experts in wine tasting, but also have very good character. Everyone believed that if they tasted the wine, they would definitely be able to come to a fair conclusion.

Of course, in addition to these chosen people, Simon and two other members of the Fine Wine Alliance also joined in the wine tasting. After all, Simon and the others are the main doubters, and if they are not allowed to participate in the tasting, the final result will always be not convincing enough.

Under the gaze of everyone, Simon and the others came to the long table and began to taste the new red wine of the Holy Pot Winery this year. (To be continued......)
