Chapter 34 Make another bet
John is the sommelier invited by this year's Knight Wine Estate, and his main responsibility is to be in charge of this year's small event at the Harvest Festival, the wine guessing competition. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
As a newcomer who has just obtained his sommelier qualification, it is a good opportunity for John to be invited by a famous winery like Knight's Winery. At this harvesting festival, you can not only take advantage of this opportunity to get in touch with more famous wines, but also meet many tycoons in this industry, which will be of great help to your future career development.
So in order to organize this event, John can be described as painstaking. Not only did he frantically increase the number of wines he could make and the variety of wines, but he even brought wines from some new world regions, such as Australia, the United States and even China, to the detriment of celebrities who wanted to show off their girlfriends.
The wine guessing activity lasted for more than two hours, but only three people correctly guessed four of the eight bottles of wine, which means that no one has been able to guess all the wines in one sitting until now.
Although the game was a bit difficult, it also managed to capture the competitive spirit of these spectators, and as the game progressed, more and more people signed up for the competition, which naturally attracted many onlookers.
"Wine is not like anything else, it's a culture that takes years to master. I think anyone who can guess all eight wines in one go must be over 50 years old. In the crowd of onlookers, an old man with a white beard speculated based on his own experience.
"Not only that, such a person must have traveled all over the world and tasted the special wines of various wine regions, such a person must not only have money, but also have a certain status." Beside the old man, a red-haired middle-aged man said cautiously.
"Although the Sanchez family has a wide range of connections, I am afraid it is difficult to invite people of that status." The old man made a conclusion based on his own judgment.
Watching the people talk, John smiled slightly, he was very satisfied with the results of this little activity.
At this moment, another group of people came from not far away, and John laughed again when he looked at the group of young people.
Looking at the age of this group of people, they can guess at most four kinds of wine, even if there are some young masters in this group who have a net worth of tens of millions, and they have tasted many famous wines since childhood. But after all, wine culture is different from other things, in addition to money, it is indispensable to accumulate over time.
What's more, I've already adjusted the difficulty of this little game to hell?
Surrounded by the crowd, Ye Chen, Pierce and others came to the long table where eight kinds of wine were placed.
Pierce had already signed up for the game, and now it was his turn to compete.
"The rules of the competition are simple, each of us guesses eight wines, and whoever guesses more correctly wins!" Jacques, who was temporarily acting as a referee, excitedly announced the rules of the game, and by this time he had already revealed his true colors.
However, what made Jacques a little puzzled was that Ye Chen didn't notice his abnormality at all.
"Could it be that his nerves are short-circuited, and he still hasn't seen that he is being played. But that's fine, it's time to let this guy know what the rules are here! Looking at Ye Chen, who was looking around, Jacques thought secretly in his heart.
"What if we all guess correctly, or if we all guess wrong? Is it a draw? After Jacques announced the rules, Ye Chen asked very actively.
"Haha, guess all right? Young man, you don't understand how difficult it is to guess all eight of these wines, and it is completely impossible for you to guess all of them. John, who was standing on the sidelines, couldn't help but say that as the person in charge of the event, of course he didn't like to hear people say such things.
If it were someone else, John probably wouldn't have refuted it yet. But as soon as he saw that Ye Chen's clothes were average, and they could even be called shabby, John didn't have so many worries.
After speaking, John looked at Jacques again.
Jacques nodded in satisfaction at John.
"Also, it's impossible to guess wrong, because you can guess wrong, but I can't." Pierce took over and said confidently.
"What if, I said what if?" Ye Chen seemed to be very persistent in this matter.
"No whatever!" John and Pierce said at the same time.
Ye Chen didn't move at this time, and it took him a while before he arrived: "Then do you dare to make a bet?" ”
"Bet again?" Jacques stared at Ye Chen with wide eyes, thinking to himself, why did this guy suddenly like betting today?
"What are you going to bet on?" Jacques asked again.
"If anyone guesses all eight wines correctly, you have to give me a bottle of the most expensive of the eight."
"All right...... You...... Hahaha. Pierce laughed exaggeratedly as if he had heard some big joke.
Several people around him, including John, also showed a contemptuous smile, and they all felt that this Asian was a little too self-conscious.
Does he think that wine is the same as any other type of alcohol?
No, it's wine, the noblest wine in the world, a wine full of life!
"Well, you don't dare to bet on this?" Ye Chen didn't pay attention to the laughter of the people around him, he looked at Jacques calmly and asked.
"Are you sure you're going to do this? If you lose this time, you'll never be able to lift your head up in front of this crowd again. Jacques looked at Ye Chen and reminded sincerely. He knew very well that the bet just now was just a game for young people, even if Ye Chen ran naked, it was nothing, and there were more such things in this country.
But if he made this bet in front of so many people, it would be different.
If Ye Chen wins, he will be a blockbuster in this circle. If he loses, I'm afraid no one will want to deal with someone so arrogant and conceited. Everyone will think that he insulted wine, and this reputation is not very good in this circle.
Unlike what Jacques thought, Ye Chen didn't want to back down at this time. He came to participate in this picking show to want to squeeze into this circle, and now is not the best opportunity?
A kiss at the picking festival plus the winner of the wine guessing competition, it will be difficult for this group of people not to remember Ye Chen in the future!
"I'm pretty sure I have what it takes." Ye Chen said with a slight smile.
"Since you chose so, well, I'll make this bet with you. If anyone guesses all eight of these wines, I'll give you the most expensive wine on behalf of Château Knights. ”
"But what if you lose?" Pierce asked duly.
