463, I feel a little flawed!
"Hey, Zhou San, Miss Elena, so you guys are taking pictures here, I was a little busy just now, and the hospitality was not considerate, please forgive me!" Takeda Aoki walked over at some point and said with some apologies.
"Hey, Mr. Takeda, don't worry, we can understand it!" Although Takeda Aoki's appearance was a bit unpleasant, Zhou Ping didn't pay much attention to it, put away his phone and said
"Haha! Thank you very much for your understanding!"
Takeda Aoki smiled happily and asked, "I wonder if the two of you are quite satisfied with tonight's wine tasting?"
As always, Elena said, "Thank you very much Mr. Takeda for the invitation, and I felt very good to have a taste at this tasting. ”
Hearing Elena say this, Takeda Aoki was in a happier mood, and the smile on his face became a little brighter.
You must know that Elena's identity is not simple, she is the little princess of an American wealthy family!
Because of the relationship between the United States and Japan, the huge energy that Elena has is extremely valued by Furuta Aoki.
Besides, there are too many things that Elena has been exposed to in her life circle, and her knowledge is absolutely unquestionable.
So for Takeda Aoki, it is indeed a joy to be recognized by her.
Similarly, for Zhou Ping, Takeda Aoki was indeed impressed by him.
Whether it is knowledge or personal charm, they all admire him so much.
If at the beginning, he thought that Zhou Ping was just a meeting and came to have a good time.
But now it seems that he suddenly realized that whether it was Elena or Vic, their attitude towards Zhou Ping was very respectful.
Even many times, he had a faint feeling that Elena and Vic were actually centered on Zhou Ping!
He felt that his understanding of Zhou Ping seemed to be only superficial, and he felt that it was absolutely necessary to get to know the Chinese man with an extraordinary temperament in front of him when he turned back.
He always felt that Zhou Ping was not as he said, just an ordinary person from the western part of China.
Maybe this is just a pretext, Zhou Ping actually has a mysterious background, maybe it is from a red wealthy family in China.
"Zhou San, may I ask your opinion?" With such thoughts, Takeda Aoki asked quietly.
In the previous cycles, he did not mention to Takeda Aoki about the presence of counterfeit wine at the tasting.
After all, this incident would make the other party's face gloomy, so Zhou Ping didn't think about exposing this fact at all, making him embarrassed and passive.
Unexpectedly, this time he actually took the initiative to ask his opinion.
In this way, Zhou Ping was silent for a moment.
Thinking that so many loops in the timeline have not advanced, could it be related to this matter?
So, he swept around, organized the language, and said slowly: "I am very happy to participate in this high-level red wine tasting. ”
Out of politeness, Takeda Aoki smiled and nodded, and continued to wait for Zhou Ping's next words.
But Zhou Ping's next sentence made him frown slightly.
"However, I feel a little flawed!"
"Zhou San, what do you mean?" asked Takeda Aoki with a little surprise and a little puzzled.
Zhou Ping truthfully pointed out that in tonight's wine tasting, there are some fake wines that are not fake wines.
In other words, the wine is indeed genuine, and there is no problem with the brand, the key is the vintage.
You must know that because of different vintages, the yield and quality of grapes are different, and the value of the wine produced is completely different! (PS: red wine is not the longer the collection period, the better, for example, the 82-year-old Lafite has exceeded the best collection period of 30 years, so insiders will not collect and taste it at all)
For example, a 98-year-old authentic Patrix is divided into multiple portions, and then blended with a 16-year-old Patrix with a similar taste.
Finally, after processing and packing together, you can sell a 16-year-old Lafey for a 98-year-old Percher.
For the ability and level shown by Zhou Ping, Takeda Aoki is quite convinced.
And people who can be friends with Vic Elena naturally don't joke casually, especially on such a more formal occasion.
The most important thing is that the situation that Zhou Ping said is really possible.
If someone uses the method in his mouth to carefully process the red wine, it can really deceive the identification of many professionals, you must know that some wineries did not sell red wine that year, and he can still have a few bottles of collection, isn't it fake?
Takeda Aoki is a seasoned drinker himself, but to be fair, he doesn't have the ability to tell the difference between a '98-year-old and a 16-year-old Patrix just by its smell, texture, and color.
The more this is the case, the more Takeda Aoki listens to it, the more unpleasant it becomes.
It was originally a high-pressure tasting party with a face, but I didn't expect it to show my buttocks.
Although Zhou Ping was already very concerned about his face, and when he spoke, he obviously lowered his voice, and the people around him did not hear it, but Takeda Aoki still felt a hot burning sensation in his cheeks.
Moreover, if it is really as Zhou Ping said, then there may be many fakes in the hundreds of bottles of red wine he purchased this time, and he will lose a lot.
Looking at Takeda Aoki, whose face was a little ugly, Zhou Ping, in order to ensure that his words were more convincing, suggested that Takeda Aoki let the three well-known red wine appraisers come over and discuss it internally.
After hearing Zhou Ping's suggestion, Takeda Aoki hesitated slightly, and finally decided to find the three well-known tasters to make a final judgment.
At first, the self-proclaimed professionals scoffed at Zhou Ping's claims, thinking that he was there to be alarmist.
But at Takeda Aoki's insistence, the three of them had to listen patiently to Zhou Ping's advice.
After some citations and speculations by Zhou Ping, the three of them suddenly became stunned.
Because they don't even know some of the characteristics that Zhou Ping said, but there is no doubt that he is by no means a man of his own words, but a real expert.
Since it is the judgment of peers, it must be humble.
In the end, the three of them tasted the red wine again according to the method Zhou Ping said.
Sure enough, after tasting it, the three of them immediately fell to the ground for the five bodies that Zhou Ping admired.
Regarding taste, color, viscosity and so on, every problem point Zhou Ping said appeared.
So, without hesitation, the three of them told Takeda Aoki that what Zhou Ping said was right.
There were indeed fake wines at this wine tasting, but because the methods were so clever that even they were easily deceived and did not find any clues.
This kind of half-truth, shoddy fraud is also the first time they have encountered it.
After Takeda Aoki got the final conclusion, his face was gloomy a lot, and his heart was even more angry.
Damn, this time the face was too big, and he was slapped in the face in front of his own partner.
Of course, Takeda Aoki also carried it very clearly, not only did he not have the slightest resentment towards Zhou Ping, but his heart was full of admiration and gratitude.
After all, it is much better for this kind of thing to be told by Zhou Ping on such a small scale than to reveal the truth on an unexpected occasion one day.
"Wow, Zhou, you're really amazing! You can even distinguish this subtle difference, and you can also deduce the means of cheating! It's incredible!" Elena looked at Zhou Ping with a look of amazement.
You must know that as the little princess of the Kennedy family, Elena grew up with a golden key in her mouth, and under the influence of her ears and eyes, she has a super ability to appreciate all kinds of luxury goods.
Moreover, for the children of wealthy families like them, tasting things like red wine is actually a basic skill.
Normally, you can tell the difference between good and bad wine at a glance, but if you carefully distinguish it from its smell and taste, you can also tell the difference between good and bad.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he arrived in Japan on the first day, he was indirectly slapped in the face by Zhou Ping.
While secretly embarrassed in her heart, Elena was also deeply impressed by Zhou Ping's master-level red wine appreciation ability.
"I'm sorry, Zhou San, Miss Elena, I have something to deal with next, and I can't accompany you next. ”
Although he was very angry about this in his heart, Takeda Aoki's demeanor and politeness were not lacking at all.
Elena and Zhou Ping don't have to guess to know what he's going to do next, they must be going to find the guy who sold him fake wine!
"It's okay, Mr. Takeda, you go and get busy, don't worry about us!" Zhou Ping nodded and said.
Takeda Aoki bowed politely to Zhou Ping and said, "Hai, thank you Zhou San and Miss Elena for your understanding, then I will be out of company!"
After saying that, Takeda Aoki Takeda took a deep breath, turned around, and walked to the steps in the middle of the restaurant without hurrying.
With a smile on his face again, he apologized and told everyone that he had to leave temporarily because he had something to deal with.
After saying that, Takeda Aoki handed over the follow-up work to Ryoko Kiyoizumi to be in charge.
I have to say that Ryoko Kiyoizumi is indeed a very capable woman.
Under her careful management, the guests continued to enjoy the wine tasting, and when the time was almost up, they left the banquet restaurant one by one.
"Dear Zhou, what happened just now? I saw Takeda come to your side and chatted a few words, and then invited those three tasters over, and then left the wine tasting, which seems a little abnormal!"
Vic was obviously a very attentive and measured man, and although his mind was full of doubts, he didn't throw the question out until after the reception.
Zhou Ping just smiled mysteriously at this and did not answer.
After all, such ugly things are not easy to publicize.
Seeing Vic's suspicious face, Zhou Ping simply diverted the topic and said: "Hey, it's a trivial matter, there's nothing to say, don't worry, I believe you will get the answer soon." ”
Vic was obviously dissatisfied with Zhou Ping's answer, and then looked at Elena with some expectation.
Elena raised her eyebrows slightly, and then glanced at Zhou Ping intentionally or unintentionally.
That meant as if to say that she respected Zhou Ping's opinion.
"Well, you two are really well matched!" Vic was visibly stunned, then shrugged his shoulders and pretended to be helpless.
"Okay, man, it's not that we don't want to talk about it, it's just that there are some things that we don't want to reveal here! Mr. Takeda is our friend after all, so we still have to take care of his face. Seeing his depressed face, Zhou Ping couldn't help but explain.
"Okay, I didn't ask!, But, Zhou, you've been in Tokyo for so long, you should be familiar with it, why don't you take me out for a walk and enjoy the exotic scenery?"
Listening to Vic's last few phrases, a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of Zhou Ping's mouth.
As early as Las Vegas, Vic had spoken to Zhou Ping about this.
This can be regarded as a friendship agreement between two men!
With Zhou Ping's memory, of course, he remembered it very clearly and took it to heart.
"No problem, I'll definitely take you around!" Zhou Ping stepped forward and patted Vic's arm, giving him a look that only the two of them could understand.
At this moment, Ryoko Kiyoizumi's voice sounded beside him: "Three distinguished guests, excuse me, the president has already booked a hotel for you, I don't know how many of you need to go back to the hotel now?"
Although the wine tasting ended early, and as the host, Takeda Aoki also left early, but because he had already made arrangements, things didn't change much.
Elena and Vic hadn't had enough rest because they had been on a plane for a day, and they had a little more wine at noon and night, and they were also sleepy.
So, under the arrangement of Ryoko Kiyoizumi, the two went directly to the Grand Hyatt Tokyo Hotel to rest.
Zhou Ping returned to the Ryumei Pavilion under the send-off of Ryoko Kiyoizumi.
Thursday, October 18, 2018.
The sun is still shining, and Tokyo is full of life in the light of the early sun.
Habitually looking at the phone, time pushed!
Zhou Ping, who felt that he had figured out a little bit of timeline advancement, stretched out on the bed quite proudly, and jumped out of bed after moving for a while.
As long as there is no one in the room, Jeet Kune Do seems to have become a must-have sport for Zhou Ping.
In fact, he also deeply liked this advanced martial arts technique, and as he practiced, he gained a deeper understanding.
Zhou Ping, who was sweating and taking a shower, had just walked out of the bathroom when a phone call came in.
Picking up the mobile phone on the bedside and looking at it, a smile suddenly appeared on his face, and then he pressed the answer button.
"Hey, Zhou, I called you so early, I wonder if I disturbed your rest?"
Elena's beautiful voice came over on the other end of the phone.
"Of course not, I've already gotten up!" came to the sofa with the phone, and Zhou Ping chose a relaxed position to lie down.
"But, dear Elena, is there anything you called so early?" Zhou Ping asked.
Elena said straight to the point: "Zhou, you know the purpose of our visit to Japan this time, and now that the plan has officially begun, the next step is to determine the address!"
"So I discussed with Vic last night, and I listened to your advice, so let's go to Nagoya first and see if there is a suitable place to open an oriental cultural center. ”
"If you don't have the right options, you're going to have to settle for a better location in another city. ”
Tsk, you who have money, background and good looks, you still work so hard, it really makes ordinary people can only look up!
Zhou Ping couldn't help but sigh slightly: "Oh, Elena, I thought you had just arrived in Tokyo and were going to rest for a few days, but I didn't expect to be so dedicated, so okay, when did you decide to go over?
