484 Gold Award List
As Lu Li said, they are now "big celebrities", their every move is in the spotlight, the blatant line of sight is gradually decreasing, but there are a lot of eyes secretly looking, but Lu Li and the three of them don't care, they happily find a place to stop, chatting happily, waiting for the organizer to announce the final list of winners.
This year, there are more than 8,000 wines participating in the Brussels Wine Competition, and only about 30% can win awards, which are divided into big gold medals, gold medals, and silver medals according to the scores.
After waiting for a while, the bustling sound in his ears gradually calmed down, and everyone's eyes were cast in the same direction, Tony was the most excited, and couldn't help but stand on tiptoe, trying to look past the crowd, and then turned his head to Lu Li and Fred and said with a smile, "Fourteen guessed right! They really chose the bulletin board, all handwritten." ”
Fred turned his head and looked at Lu Li with a look of surprise, "How do you know?"
Just now, the three of them were discussing what form the list of winners would be announced, Fred thought that it must be in the form of a slide show, published on the big screen, and then everyone could check the list on the computer by themselves; Tony thought that there would be a host who would come out and slowly reveal it level by level; Lu Li thought that they would paste the list on the bulletin board by hand or printout, so that everyone could find it by themselves.
Unexpectedly, they really chose the most primitive and simple way.
In fact, the announcement of the winners is more of a ceremony. A simple calculation shows that about 30 percent of the wineries can win awards, which is about 2,400 wineries, and if they are listed and announced, it must be an incomparably long scroll, and it is not easy to find the location of their own wineries in it.
Therefore, the announcement of the list by the organizing committee is similar to the previous release of the imperial examination list, allowing everyone to watch together, and the sense of ceremony trumps its own significance. After the results are announced, the winning wineries will be notified individually and a certificate will be issued confirming that the winery can add the winning logo to its label.
Today, the announcement of the list of winners has been given a different meaning, "Ducas Winery VS Yunding Winery", presumably many people present want to join in the fun. What's more, those who place bets are also looking forward to an outcome. Therefore, the release of the list has become more lively again.
Involuntarily, Lu Li chuckled, he didn't expect that the organizing committee would really choose such an old-fashioned way to announce the results, which invisibly added more dramatic effects to their duel.
This competition is not only based on the international level, but also open the threshold, and the goal of the selection is to choose wines that have always been suitable for the taste of the global public. In fact, the style of action is still based on the old-fashioned style of rules. Is this a good thing or a bad thing for Cloud Top Winery?
"That's not the point, the point is, I don't know how long the list of winners is, it's a needle in a haystack to find the name of our winery. What if I look for it and don't find it?" Lu Li's rhetorical question suddenly made Fred dumbfounded, "You say, do they arrange the list according to the score, or in alphabetical order?"
"Uh......" Fred didn't know how to answer.
At this time, the crowd stepped forward in an orderly manner to check the list of winners announced, Tony turned around and jumped in place excitedly, "They have pushed a total of three bulletin boards, it should be the list of winners of different levels, announced, revealed, the results have been revealed!" Tony was nervous and excited, constantly exhaling and inhaling, trying to calm himself down, "Whew, whew...... How's it going, are you ready?"
"I'm ready, but I'm not sure you're ready. Lu Li was still in the mood to joke at this time, but Fred and Tony began to get nervous, and they couldn't laugh at all, looking at the appearance of the two people with six gods and no masters, the smile on the corner of Lu Li's mouth rose more and more, "Tony, you say, what level can we take? Which list should we start with?"
These understatement words revealed Lu Li's strong self-confidence: more than 70% of the wines could not win awards and could not be on the bulletin board, but Lu Li's tone revealed a kind of certainty, and there was no doubt that the wines of Yunding Winery could make it to the list.
Lu Li's question made Tony choke, and he stopped in his chest in one breath, and he didn't slow down for a long time, he seriously thought about this question: Big Gold Award, Gold Award, Silver Award, which list should start with? What award can Yunding Winery win?
Confidently start with the Grand Gold Award, or start with the Gold Award in a down-to-earth manner, or start with the Silver Award in a low-key manner? More importantly, in case, one in ten thousand, seriously read all three lists, but the result is not on the top of the winery, that is the real shame. Not to mention losing the duel, it is really a loss in the bottom pants.
When it comes to the wines of Winery Clouds, Tony has absolute confidence. But he is a professional winemaker, and he also knows that for the time being, regardless of the completely different tastes of different people, just talking about wine, the wine of Yunding Winery is still too young after all, not to mention five or ten years, it will take at least two or three years to taste a reason.
Objectively speaking, those who like it will be amazed, and those who hate it will be rejected. According to this logic, is it more reliable to start with the gold medal to calculate the average score? Or is it ...... Silver Award?Is it possible to be cautious and enter the ranks of 30 percent?
“…… Why don't we start with the Silver Award?" said Tony cautiously.
What he didn't say was that if the starting point was set as the Grand Gold Award at the beginning, it would not be possible to rise further, it could only go down, and once the Cloud Top Winery did not appear in the list of Grand Gold Awards, then they could only retreat step by step. The problem is that their every move today is under the watchful eye, and there are really not a few people who want to see their jokes, if the layers go down, even if Yunding Winery is really on the gold or silver award list, it is estimated that this posture of defeat and retreat will still become a laughing stock.
Looking at Tony's cautious appearance, Lu Li couldn't help but laugh, "I thought you would directly choose the highest level to start." However, I am a layman in this regard, you are the expert, you say silver award, then silver award. ”
So, Lu Li and his entourage walked in the direction of the bulletin board of the silver award.
The footsteps stopped in front of the bulletin board, and before they could start looking up, they heard a burst of laughter from the side, followed the sound and looked over, and then saw William and his party, there were several middle-aged people in suits and leather shoes standing next to them, who also looked like the owners of the winery, they collectively laughed, didn't say anything, and walked straight in the direction of the Grand Gold Award, full of confidence and determination.
Needless to say, the contempt and ridicule could not be clearer.
"Them!" Tony only felt a little uneasy, and wanted to step forward to theorize in a distraught, but Lu Li spoke unhurriedly, "They are famous top wineries, we are nameless wineries that have just started, and it is our honor that they actually want to deal with us." "The subtext is that their price drops.
Interpreting it this way, things seem to have changed, Tony was stunned, and then he heard a light laugh around him, he looked around, and there was a kind smile on all the faces, and even with it, he couldn't help laughing.
After laughing, Lu Li raised his head and browsed the bulletin board in front of him, the list was not in alphabetical order, but whether it was arranged according to the score or not, and there was no mark on the list, and the names of unfamiliar wineries were very difficult for Lu Li to see, because all the colors in front of him were in French.
French, for Lu Li, is the book of heaven.
At the top of the list, it is written that a total of 773 wineries have won the Silver Award, and it is even more dizzying to just take a cursory glance, not to mention that it is still written in French.
Lu Li originally wanted to take a look by the way to see if any of the wineries he was familiar with had won the silver award, but now, he didn't care about it at all, and even a burst of exclamations came from the side and he didn't have the heart to gossip, just quickly scanned, and single-mindedly looked for the name of "Yunding Winery".
Lu Li swept over from the beginning, Tony swept back from the end, and Fred was responsible for finding the beginning letters, the three of them searched carefully, found nothing, exchanged glances with each other to confirm, but didn't know whether this was good news or bad news, Tony's expression became uncontrollably deep.
Lu Li was the most calm, and patted Tony on the shoulder, "Don't scare yourself until you know the result." Let's go, I'll take a look at the list of gold awards. ”
The three of them walked towards the list of gold medalists on the left, and at a glance they saw William and his party in the crowd, Jack was a little anxious, William was a little deep, and Brian frowned, judging from his expression alone, they did not find the name of Ducas Winery in the list of big gold awards.
The eyes around them suddenly became meaningful, and almost everyone was sure that Ducas Winery could win the Grand Gold Award and crush the Winery of the Clouds, but now it was wrong.
Objectively speaking, from 88 to 95.9 points, this range is the Gold Award, and the wines of Ducas Winery last year and the year before were Gold Medals, and it is very normal for them to come to this area at this time. It's just that they walked towards the big gold medal in a high-profile manner at the beginning, coupled with the boiling duel, people's expectations will inevitably rise, and now seeing William start to "relegate", it naturally becomes complicated.
Relatively speaking, the Yunding Winery, which began to be low-key, actually rose to the gold award, and between this rise and fall, the atmosphere of the scene was really delicate, and more and more eyes gathered over, and this duel was becoming interesting.
