The Brussels Wine Competition is in full swing, and each day has its own unique style, its own unique liveliness, bustling, boiling, so lively, in the blink of an eye, it has entered the third day, which is also the last day of selection.

Not long after the first day of the competition, the selection of red wines was met with controversial wines, and the opinions of the judges were quite different, which aroused the enthusiastic participation of the audience, who could not wait to taste and then express their opinions. Mark, Nicholas and Lu Li are no exception.

At first, Lu Li was still skeptical, thinking that this was a case, and it was likely to be the wine of Yunding Winery - Mark and Nicholas couldn't distinguish the details too much, which made Lu Li a little surprised, and he thought that these two people were senior professionals.

For this reason, Nicholas said, "That's why we didn't become judges. "It's just a joke, but it's also true, with more than 8,000 wines, it's not an easy task to distinguish between good and bad, how to taste quality.

But as time progressed, Lu Li gradually understood that this was not a special case at all, almost every once in a while, a similar controversy would appear, as short as thirty minutes, as long as two hours, within three days, Lu Li had witnessed at least a dozen cases, and as for those cases that he had heard, there were even more.

In the midst of these controversial discussions, Lu Li made a judgment six times before and after, "I think this is the wine of Yunding Winery." "Six times, obviously it's not very reliable, in other words, he didn't be able to identify his own wine, which is ridiculous to say, but really being in the middle of it, knowing that it's absolutely possible, and that it's happening.

Even Marc has picked out three wines that he thinks are likely to be from Cloudstop Winery. As for more accurate judgments, they need more information – but the purpose of the wine competition is to remain impartial and authoritative: to refuse to reveal more information, and to ensure that all ratings are derived from the wine.

This is really an eye-opener for Lu Li. The world of wine is indeed mysterious and profound.

The last day of the wine competition was still exciting, even more intense than the previous two days, with seven or eight arguments between the judges in just one morning, and no arguments between onlookers, with small discussions happening around almost every stand, and the whole venue bubbling like boiling water.

"Fourteen, have you heard?" Tony, who trotted over from the distance, had a mixed expression that was indescribable in words, looking like excitement and panic. "Now it's all gossip, legends about the duel between the winery and our winery, saying that we want to win or lose, and we don't know what we are provoking the authority of the winery, and we don't know how thick the sky is, what we call ourselves the desert rose in the 'little prince' and think we are amazing, and what we have no one in our eyes and come to Europe to kick the gym...... Now it's all messed up, everyone is spreading it, even the staff of the conference knows. ”

When he first heard about it, Lu Li was still a little surprised, but when he thought about it, it was not surprising, as Nicholas said, the European wine circle is not big or small, and the wine of the old and new world is opposed, not obvious on the surface, but it can never be dissipated in the bones.

When Lu Li went to Texas to take over the ranch, he did not encounter serious discrimination, but he did not expect that now he came to Europe with wine, but he encountered it. People always think that Europe is more open and freer, while the United States has become more conservative and radical in recent years, and the problem of discrimination in the United States has become more and more prominent, and even intensified the contradictions, but in the middle of it, they find that things are not so simple.

Thinking about it, Lu Li not only did not panic, but laughed.

Looking at the smile on the corner of Lu Li's mouth, Tony couldn't help but be stunned, "Fourteen, if you don't worry, forget it, you're still gloating there! Do you know how many people are waiting to see our jokes now? Do you know how many people are a thorn in the flesh now? Do you know how bad our situation is now?"

"Then what do you want me to do? Shut up all their mouths?" Lu Li chuckled, and Tony couldn't help but be stunned, and a sense of helplessness swelled up.

"It's not the first day you've known Fourteen. Fred followed behind Tony and also walked over, but Tony used to run, he used to walk, belatedly, although the words were relaxed and ridiculous, but the excited look still revealed the true thoughts in his heart. However, in order to ridicule Tony, Fred still said seriously, "Fourteen is a columnist for the 'New York Times', and I haven't seen any big scenes!"

Listening to Fred's teasing and looking at Lu Li's smile, Tony was stunned, involuntarily, shook his head slightly, and then laughed.

Tony was originally an open-minded person, just now he was just concerned about chaos, this time the competition is indeed very important for the top of the cloud winery, now that he came back to his senses, he slowly relaxed, the more he thought about it, the more ridiculous he felt, the more he thought about it, the more funny he felt, and then he raised his head and looked at the two friends, the three of them exchanged glances, and then they simply laughed out loud.

"I don't think it's a solution to plug everyone's mouths. Fred made a joke, and then couldn't contain his excitement, and couldn't wait to say, "Regarding our duel, it is getting more and more fierce now, and some people have even opened a betting market and set different odds for our two wineries, which is very professional." ”

"Bet?" Lu Li couldn't control his surprise, "I thought it was illegal." Wait, is gambling legal in Belgium?"

Fred shrugged his shoulders and said he didn't know anything, "But as far as I know, it's not a secret. The subtext is that if it was illegal, it would have been banned a long time ago, "Do you know what the odds are now?"

"Do you still need to guess?" Lu Li showed a natural expression, no one would be optimistic about Yunding Winery. It is no exaggeration to say that even Lu Li himself does not have absolute confidence in Yunding Winery.

So far, all their confidence in Château Yunzen has come from their own tasting and judgment, and in an international arena like Brussels, with more than 8,000 wines competing on the same stage and more than 400 professional judges, blind confidence will not help.

"Of course I know that we are not the favored side. I mean, do you know, what the odds are?" Fred said, began to dance with his eyebrows, that excited look did not hide it, he looked at Lu Li, and then looked at Tony, neither of them had any intention of guessing the numbers, so Fred did not continue to sell Guanzi, and said directly, "One point one against fourteen." ”

Silence, or silence, more accurately, should be shock, shocked to the point of speechlessness.

Obviously, Ducass Winery is one and fourteen. The trend of the pattern was expected, but I didn't expect the gap to be so big, it can almost be said to be one-sided, and no one is optimistic about the victory of Yunding Ranch. Such odds are almost comparable to China's entry into the World Cup - no, the latter's odds are more exaggerated, and the odds of Yunding Ranch are still greater.

"Originally, it was one five against fourteen. However, almost everyone chose Ducas Winery, and the market had to make adjustments, otherwise there would be no way to continue the game. "Five-five to three-point, then three-point-to-one, but that still hasn't stopped people from choosing Ducas." This...... It's ......."

Fred was running out of words and didn't know exactly how to describe it.

Tony was already speechless in shock, even Lu Li's brain had a momentary pause, but it was ridiculous to the extreme, and he couldn't help but chuckle, "I'm even more surprised that the game is still going on." If no one chooses Cloud Top Winery, isn't the dealer destined to lose money? Even if it is 1 to 14, the dealer will still lose money, and there is no need to continue the gambling market. ”

Lu Li really can't imagine who would choose Yunding Winery, a little-known winery, a winery from the wine desert, a winery that makes wine in the first year. If Lu Li was not the boss, he would not have chosen his own Yunding Winery.

"Because there are still people who believe in Cloud Peak Winery. You should give yourself a little more confidence. A laughing voice came from his ear, and he turned his head, and then he saw Mark, Robinson, and Raymond, "I think Winery will win." ”

Simple words, but with unwavering faith.

Lu Li smiled dumbly, "I hope you didn't bet too much." ”

Robinson clenched his fists, "Please, a little more confidence, I also bet on Cloud Top Winery." Raymond also raised his right hand and gestured, indicating that he was in lockstep with Robinson and Mark.

"In addition to us, I believe that there will definitely be people who support Winery at the top of the clouds. Mark added that the first thing that came to mind was Nicholas, "I bet $100,000 in the hope that it will stabilize the market, otherwise it will be a chicken and an egg." ”

100,000 If the final score of the Winery wins, then Mark can get 1.4 million, but the reason why the odds gap is so big is because no one is optimistic about the Winery, once he loses, then Mark will smash 100,000 into the water, and there is no sound at all.

Lu Li asked curiously, "Is there an option for a tie?"

"Nope. Robinson spread his hands and made a helpless look. Obviously, the dealer doesn't think that a small probability event may happen, which makes Lu Li curious: what if, one in 10,000 chance, if the final scores of the two wineries are really tied, then what should I do?

"It seems that in order for this market to continue, it will not collapse. I should give the dealer more confidence. Lu Li had a serious expression on his face, as if he was seriously considering, "Do you think that if I press one million and Yunding Winery wins, will the dealer refuse to accept the bet?"
