6. Good brother
Sleep until dawn.
When he woke up and saw where he was, everything was like a dream, as if one second he was still working in Beijing as a seemingly decent but shabby lobby manager, and at this moment he became the owner of the famous Casabel estate in Napa Valley, with $16 million in deposits in Citibank.
"Life is like a dream, nothing more than that."
I've been in the U.S. for nearly a month, and I've been running around all day, and I hardly slept well. Although he woke up, Chen Mo had no intention of getting up, and lay on the bed and played with his mobile phone. suddenly remembered that Rayong got married on June 10, and now it's the 6th, and there are still 4 days left.
Logging in to QQ, I saw a message from Rayong to him: "Where is it, why is there no signal when I call you?" ”
"See the message speed reply ......"
"Come back soon, I can't bear it anymore......"
"I need you."
Chen Mo stretched his waist and replied, "What does the slut need to do in this palace?" ”
It's night in China, and as soon as Chen Mo sent a message, Luo Yong sent a voice connection: "The position of the best man can be left for you, come back quickly." ”
"OK, I'll book a ticket later."
"Book the fastest ticket and come back early."
"Okay."
"What time will I be back, I'll pick you up at the airport."
"I don't know yet, I booked a plane ticket and called." Putting on his clothes, Chen Mo washed his face, and then went to the cellar to pick up three boxes of red wine, although the 2003 Casabel was not as good as the 2000 one, but it was also an aged red wine, and it was aged for thirteen years and it was the peak taste. The external price is 1,180 US dollars, and there are still about 30 cases of this red wine left in the cellar, which shows how well it sells.
I took the red wine in the car, then checked the household registration book and green card, and then drove off with me. Came to the doorman at the bottom of the mountain: "Hi, Robert. I'm going to be out of the manor for a while, and a car will be back tomorrow, so you can sign for it. ”
"Yes sir." Robert replied respectfully.
After thinking about it again, it seemed that there was nothing to do, so he drove to meet Kalmar and Alwin, and gave some instructions before leaving the manor.
He booked a ticket to San Francisco to return home at 5 p.m., and then found a special air transport company to ship his wine. Because of the time difference, it was still afternoon when Los Angeles took off and arrived in Beijing at 5 p.m., giving people a sense of time disorder. In order to reverse the jet lag as soon as possible, Chen Mo endured it on the plane and did not sleep, and now he is sleepy, so he booked a plane back to Rongcheng at the airport the next morning and went to a nearby hotel for one night, turning the jet lag upside down.
When I woke up the next day, it was already past 9 o'clock in the morning, I called Rayong, and then I left for the airport, and arrived in Rongcheng at noon.
Picked up his luggage at the check-in desk, along with his wine. When I got out of the airport hall, I saw that Rayong kid standing in front of a BMW X1, and Rayong was also the best among the brothers.
"I'll go, I'll come back yesterday if I'm okay, how did I get it now."
"Don't talk about it, help get something." Chen Mo said with a tired face.
"What are you doing with so much red wine, don't you have to work hard?" Luo Yong looked at the brand of red wine, it was written in English, he didn't know it, and he was puzzled: "What brand of red wine?" It looks very upscale. ”
2003 Casabelle, Napa Valley, USA. Divide a box with you, and use it at the wedding is definitely enough to save face. Chen Mo said with a smile on his face.
"I've never heard of it." When listening to Chen Mo's explanation, Luo Yong showed disdain: "Most money for a bottle? Don't drop the price too much, you also know that Xiaomeng has many rich relatives over there, and she is very picky. ”
"It costs $1,180 in the United States, and if you count import tariffs and freight, it will cost at least 10,000 yuan a piece in China."
The brothers are also a little better at Rayong, and the online live game sells Taobao goods by the way, which is considered an otaku. The other two brothers include Chen Mo, who is also an ordinary salaryman. Napa Valley is known for its high-end red wines, which are rarely seen and not well known in the country. The main reason is also because the price is too high, and the reason why the Americans have basically bought out the red wine here completely. Most of the red wines with the name Napa in domestic supermarkets are fakes, and the real ones entering the mainland market are also very ordinary red wines, with high prices and not necessarily good.
"I'll go, you brag."
"Roll rough. Believe it or not. "Casabel is not as well-known as Deer Leap Cellars, but because of its traditional winemaking techniques and its 10-acre Grand Cru vineyards, Casabel Estate's top wines are also ranked in Napa Valley, and the red wines produced are basically sold out in Napa Valley, and rarely circulated outside. In 2000 in particular, Casabel was ranked sixth in Napa Valley.
"It's really fake, you won't be deceived, right. Honestly, what do you spend most of your money on these three cases of red wine? Luo Yong didn't believe that Chen Mo took out three boxes of red wine and 10 bottles at once, and told him that the price of each of these three boxes of red wine was 10,000 yuan, and three boxes of red wine were worth 180,000 yuan.
"Absolutely genuine. I personally brought it out from the Casaper cellar and the price was not compromised. ”
"The cows have all flown up into the sky. Look, get into the clouds right away. ”
Chen Mo smiled bitterly, took out the ticket from San Francisco to Beijing from his pocket, shook it in front of Rayong, and said, "Some time ago, I went to lie in the United States, you see, this is a plane ticket." Well, I went to work there, bought a lottery ticket on a whim, and won the jackpot. Chen Mo said about the rhetoric that he had made up early in the morning, and continued: "It just so happened that Casabel Manor was sold, so I bought it. You see, this is buddy's American green card. ”
"I'll go!" Luo Yong parked the car on the side of the road, picked up Chen Mo's ticket and green card, looked at it again and again, and said, "Are you serious? It's sci-fi. ”
"Life is like a dream, no one knows what will happen in the next second." Chen Mo smiled with emotion and said, "By the way, help me keep it secret for the time being, and my wealth will not be revealed." ”
"Okay."
returned to Chongshan, and then went to pick up the other two buddies and went to rub Malatang together.
There are four people in total, all of whom are brothers in Chen Mo's high school dormitory. Chen Mo is the largest, Luo Yong is the second, Huang Xiaolong is the third, and Zhang Lei is the fourth.
At the dinner, Chen Mo opened two bottles of Casaper 2003 in a row, the third said that he couldn't drink if he wanted to drive, and the fourth said that he couldn't drink more if he had to go home to take the children later. Rayong saw that no one drank the red wine that was opened, and poured a glass for each of them in distress.
Seeing that everyone didn't drink and only cared about eating, the atmosphere was a little dull, Luo Yong finally couldn't help it, and shouted: "I'll go, tens of thousands of yuan of red wine, you don't drink me?" But this picture is really weird, red wine with spicy, is it more suitable for rainy days? ”
Luo Yong joked and said that the third and fourth didn't take it seriously.
After the dinner, Chen Mo originally wanted to pull a few of them to sing K, everyone hadn't been together for a long time, but the wives of Huang Xiaolong and Zhang Lei, the two buddies, called to check on the post and asked them to go home early.
After the two of them left, Chen Mo and Luo Yong were left, and the two went to the river for a walk, and sobered up: "Don't mind, the two of them are like that now, wife and children...... They and I meet a few times a month in the same city, and we rarely come out to play. ”
"Understood. When we're married, we can't be like when we were in school. Chen Mo shrugged his shoulders and said, "It's nothing, I just feel that time flies so fast, and suddenly everyone's relationship is estranged." ”
Looking back, Chen Mo's personality has changed a lot over the years, he stayed in Beijing for 12 years, and his friends left again, and after a long time, he gradually stopped contacting. I have always felt that the relationship is good only these high school brothers, in his heart, he cherishes this friendship very much, but suddenly found that everything seems to have changed, and he can't return to the happiness when he got along with the brothers in his memory.
As a result, the two of them went to KTV, and Rayong ordered a song "My Good Brother".
"In your glorious moments, let me sing you a song. My good brother, you said to me if you have a bitterness in your heart: walk together on the road ahead, even if it is a river, what can you count if you are tired and tired. ”
Chen Mo: "When you need me, I'll spend it with you." My good brother, you said to me that there is bitterness in your heart......"
"The friendship of friends is higher than the sky, and wider than the earth. We will definitely remember those years, the friendship of friends, our ...... in this life."
Both of them drank high, especially Chen Mo, who sang and sang and unconsciously reddened his eyes. Perhaps, people really need to have a few good friends, at least to be able to sing together, laugh together, have fun and play together.
……
"Mozi, did the fourth child tell you? His wife is clamoring for a divorce. ”
"Huh? What's going on. The two of them got along in high school, and after five or six years of marriage, how could they think of divorce? ”
"It's not because of the money...... Last year, the fourth's father had cancer and had to undergo surgery. In order to treat his father's illness, the fourth child sold his house, which was not enough, he borrowed more than 200,000 yuan from me and more than 30,000 yuan from the third child. He also asked his relatives, and everyone who could borrow money borrowed it. ”
Chen Mo was stunned for a moment and thought about it. Last year, the fourth child seemed to have borrowed money from himself, but he was a northward drifter, basically a moonlight clan, how could he have money to borrow. I only gave him 5,000 yuan......
"So, how is the fourth father?"
"When I found out, I had terminal cancer, and although I went to a major hospital for surgery, I still didn't survive. I left during the Chinese New Year this year, leaving behind the debts of the fourth child......"
"It wasn't easy to say before, but now, money is not a problem. I helped pay his debts. "For Chen Mo now, hundreds of thousands and millions, or RMB, is really nothing.
Luo Yong shook his head and said, "You still don't know the temper of the fourth child?" He borrowed money from me with an IOU, and he calculated the interest for himself. You might as well help him pay off his debts and find him a way to get rich. When I'm done with the wedding, I want to pull them to do an online outdoor reality show. If the show is done, what can you sell on Taobao...... The third and fourth children promised to come over to help, so they will send you. If you make money, everyone will share it equally, and if you lose money, it's mine. "Rayong's profession is a betta anchor, mainly live LOL, because the commentary style is funny, and the popularity of betta is very good. The business has been good after opening a Taobao store, but Chen Mo's current situation is different, whether he will play with everyone or not, Luo Yong has no bottom in his heart.
"Okay, you can also do the live broadcast to Napa Valley, and by the way, earn some popularity for my estate. If I can't make money, I will contribute to the third and fourth children to do some small business. ”
