Chapter 46 Selling Wine to France?
Andrew looked at the whole empty wine bottle in front of him, and the whole person woke up from a trance, and there was no sour smell after the hangover, on the contrary, the whole body was indescribably refreshed, and even the bad luck of being scolded by the boss yesterday was gone.
The sunshine and self-confidence of his youth seem to have returned to him.
This is not the self-confidence that comes from ability, but an occasional change in mentality under the influence of certain factors.
The phone rang, and Andrew opened it to see that it was his boss's phone.
He looked at the sunlight outside—it was getting late—and he took a deep breath, ready to accept the other man's scolding.
It's already like this anyway, is there anything worse?
"Andrew, you shit, if you don't want to do it, get out of here! I don't want to see you again! Also, your salary this month, because of your neglect ......"
After listening to the other party's words, he hung up the phone quietly, looked at the remaining bottles of red wine on the table in a daze, picked up a bottle, and kissed it gently, "Baby, it's up to you!" —his movements, more gentle than ever.
He took the bottle of red wine and walked briskly towards the place where he worked.
When he arrived at the office, almost all his colleagues saw him at the moment, as if they had seen a mildew, and they avoided it one by one, and a few friends who usually drank looked at him, did not speak, pointed to an office, and winked at him.
Andrew was not as sad as they had imagined, but was in good spirits, his hair was meticulously combed, and his clothes were neater than ever, and if he wasn't still wearing that slightly old dress, these people would have thought that he had slept with some rich daughter.
"Boom! Boom! Boom! Andrew knocked on the office door, "Sir, may I come in?" ”
When he walked in the door, his boss Ham happened to raise his head and look at him, "Andrew, we don't need a lazy person here. As for your salary, we are not prepared to pay you based on your work this month. ”
"Of course, maybe you can ask a lawyer to defend you, but I don't guarantee that you will get a copy of what is not yours." Ham looked at Andrew coldly.
He thought Andrew had come to intercede or ask for wages - something like that had happened many times, but this time, he wasn't ready to forgive. In his opinion, there is no longer any value in the other party; Leaving him behind has no other purpose than being a parasite.
"No, sir, this time, I am not here to beg you to take me in." Andrew took out a bottle of wine without any label from behind him, put it on the table, and said, "Mr. Ham, I hope you can taste this bottle of wine, maybe you will have a different harvest." ”
Ham smiled mockingly, "Andrew, are you selling me your wine?" ”
"Oh-show me, there's not even the simplest label, maybe you're sending me a 'poisoned apple'? Still, I have to congratulate you on finding a new job. I hope you'll be able to do it a little longer this time. He thought Andrew had applied for another job at another sales company. He could only praise the other party's shit luck, and at the same time, he secretly despised the eyes of the recruiters of that company.
"No, sir, you are wrong. I didn't apply for a job at another company. I just want you to try this bottle and maybe she'll change some of your minds......"
"Okay, I got it." Ham didn't know what he was hiding, but he wasn't going to waste any more time, "Now, please get out of here - remember to close the door." ”
As he spoke, he added, "I hope that after today, you will not appear in front of me again!" ”
Ham has seen too many people like Andrew, and in his heart, Andrew doesn't have the slightest chance of becoming a successful person. Such a person is no longer within the scope of his friendship.
"Finally, I have to warn you, sir, that perhaps you should try that bottle." Andrew closed the door and left the place where he had worked for several years.
But this time, he was no longer depressed, but full of confidence.
Whether Ham tasted the wine he sent him or not, he knew that such a fine wine would not be buried......
"Zhou, my friend, good morning!" Andrew said into the phone.
"Andrew?"
"I'm Andrew." Andrew listened to Zhou Yi's voice and said with a smile, "France, there is the most romantic sunshine in the world, the hottest beauties, the most delicious red wine and foie gras, my friend, are you interested in visiting France?" ”
"Of course, I also like to travel, Andrew, you know. However, as a friend, I have to remind you that now, in China, it is already evening! I'm having dinner. ”
"Oh, my dear friend, I'm sorry I didn't bother you!" Andrew exaggerated apologies. You couldn't hear the slightest hint of sincerity in his voice, "Let me think about it, you must be eating chili chicken, fried dried fish, and fried vegetables right now—I can already smell their scent—no, my saliva is already dripping......"
"I'm sorry, my friend, your guess wasn't accurate. I eat soft-shelled turtle, braised soft-shelled turtle. Zhou Yi said with a smile.
"Soft-shelled turtle? And what is the strange thing? You Chinese always eat some weird food! ”
"It's a shelled animal, somewhat similar to a tortoise. In China, it is a precious food. Next time you come, I'll entertain you. ”
"Oh my god – I can't wait! But before I do that, I want to ask you one thing, have your wines already been on sale? Speaking of this, Andrew became obviously serious, and his voice was also low, covering up his slightest nervousness.
"Not yet. I'm going to hide for a while. However, I have already applied for the trademark, and there are still many certificates that have been issued. ”
"Zhou, maybe you should try your own wine again. I dare say that even Château Lafite's main wine is not half as good as yours. You know, they're not just selling wine, they're a winery culture. Andrew said excitedly.
Zhou Yi has been drinking the wine he has made recently, and he also knows that although Andrew's words are a bit exaggerated, they should be true.
"Okay, Andrew, if I keep telling you, my food is going to be cold......" Zhou Yi looked at the food he had been busy with for two hours, and was no longer ready to talk to him.
"Wait! Weeks, wait! Andrew saw that Zhou Yi had the intention of hanging up the phone, and hurriedly stopped: "I have something very important to tell you, please give me another five minutes, no, I only need two minutes." Andrew felt that he was not fit to be a businessman, because he could never remain as calm and self-contained as Mr. Ham in the face of things.
"Well, my dear Andrew, tell me about your 'very important' matter!" He apparently didn't think Andrew had anything to say – he was always so surprised.
"Your wine is very good, Zhou, you know what, it was the best wine I've ever tasted, she reminded me of a fantastic night......"
Zhou Yi saw that Andrew seemed to be about to talk about his romance again, and hurriedly interrupted: "Alright, alright, Mr. Andrew, you didn't say that last time - did you forget the bottle of wine that Aina poured on your head?" ”
"She's a huge waste!" Andrew said with deep disgust.
Later, he explained: "You know, Zhou, red wine is a liquid full of magic. She is different from other wines; She is alive. ”
"When she first drank it, she was far from ripe, and was as green as the unripe grapes, sour and astringent; However, which beautiful and sexy beauty has not come from her youthful years? No one could have predicted that a young girl, when she grows up, will show a kind of amazing and peerless beauty......"
"I admit you're right. But is the important thing you mean to praise my wine? ”
"Of course not!" Andrew hurriedly denied.
"Zhou, have you ever thought about selling your wine to France?"
He was afraid that Zhou Yi would reject his proposal, so he hurriedly added excitedly: "As you know, France has the oldest winery, the most prestigious wine producing area in the world, a vast wine market, and the world's most standard wine classification system...... If your wine can be recognized by everyone in France, then the whole world wine market will surrender to your feet......"
Zhou Yi's gaze has always been limited to China. He has never been abroad, and the whole world, almost equal to China, would have thought of selling wine abroad in the first place.
Especially the mecca of wine, France.
Although he is confident in his wines, there are doubts about whether an unknown national wine brand can be recognized when it suddenly appears on the French market.
"What do you mean?"
"Zhou, you know, what I've been doing is selling wine. Trust me, leave it to me, and I'll make your wine appear anywhere in the world where you want her to be. I let her show her the value that belongs to her! ”
"Really?" Zhou Yi was full of doubts about his words. In the past few months with Andrew, Zhou Yi knows that he is unreliable.
"Of course! Zhou, my best friend, my closest partner in the future, am I not trustworthy? Andrew used his long aria again, revealing his sadness that he was not trusted by his friends, and gave Zhou Yi goosebumps.
"Well, if you insist. I am willing to hand over to you the right to sell my wines in France! ”
Some people, after getting along all their lives, can't recognize each other clearly; Some people, just a few days together, can let you see the bottom of his heart. Obviously, Andrew is the latter type of person. Even if he has one or another dissatisfaction, as a friend, he is still qualified and trustworthy.
At least for the time being.
