Chapter 343: I Have Many
Chapter 343 I have a lot
"Yes. Although he didn't know why Qin Mubai suddenly changed the topic, Song Siyue still nodded and looked at Qin Mubai a little strangely.
"The four Van Gogh paintings on auction are all mine. Qin Mubai said lightly.
"I'll go!" Ma Xiaoyun next to him exclaimed directly, "Damn, the person you asked me to help you find Sotheby's was selling this? 4 Van Gogh paintings? Are you sure?"
"Of course. Qin Mubai nodded very dryly.
Song Siyue was immediately speechless, if this was true, she understood why what she just said was not attractive, how valuable Van Gogh's paintings were, she is not from the art circle, but she also has some understanding, not to mention, at that time, this news can be said to have spread all over the world, of course she also understood, those four paintings, the valuation given by the outside world, 400 million US dollars!
400 million US dollars, converted into RMB, 25.6 billion RMB, and still cash. What kind of concept is this? Many celebrities, even first-line top stars, have struggled all their lives, and their last asset is just this number. Many people say that those top stars often pay more than 100 million yuan, but over 100 million yuan is also these two years, not to mention, the salary is taxed, 40% of the personal income tax is paid, and the cost of stars is very high.
After a lifetime of struggle, there are really not many people with personal assets of more than 2 billion. There are even a lot of bankrupts.
"Damn, I don't see it, Lao Bai, you're still a rich man, aren't you going to invite us to a drink and a meal? Why do you want to have a bottle of '82 Lafite to celebrate? Or romantic. Ma Xiaoyun laughed twice and said quickly.
"It's not like you haven't drunk it. Qin Mubai was a little speechless, this guy must have drunk it.
"That's different, I haven't drunk yours. Ma Xiaoyun shrugged his shoulders.
"Come on, Lafite '82 doesn't, but I have some good stuff here. Qin Mubai said with a smile, "Okay, you guys will serve it first, and the food is probably about the same." ”
"Really?" Ma Xiaoyun looked at Qin Mubai with some surprise.
"Wait. Qin Mubai left Ma Xiaoyun and Song Siyue in the restaurant, turned around and went into the basement by himself, Wang Zhaojun and Cai Wenji both went upstairs to write.
To be honest, Qin Mubai couldn't appreciate this wine, but he wasn't ready to sell it.
Although every bottle is very valuable, Qin Mubai is not short of this money now. Naturally, all the good things are kept.
Entering the basement, Qin Mubai opened the box, these forty-eight bottles of wine were all very large glass bottles, because it was not so easy to make small glass bottles at that time.
So this bottle is a bit like the salute in the bar now, the green bottle is very big and rough, and the cork is also very old, to be honest, if this is preserved in reality, it will definitely not be so intact.
Qin Mubai came out with a bottle, and then walked to the restaurant.
"I'm here to see what good wine you have here, it looks very old. Ma Xiaoyun asked with some curiosity.
Song Siyue also had some curiosity. They can say that they have drunk all kinds of good wine, but Qin Mubai said that to find them some rare goods, it should not be ordinary, but in her investigation, Qin Mubai is an ordinary person.
That's a big change.
"You promise you haven't drunk it. Qin Mubai smiled and put the wine bottle in his hand directly on the dining table.
"I'm going! 1787 Lafite wine? really fake!" Ma Xiaoyun was mentally prepared, but this is also too amazing, you know, there are some things that you really can't buy if you have money.
Don't say anything else, let's just say that the shelf life of this red wine, the shelf life of red wine is limited, and it is not like the white wine is preserved for a long time, and the shelf life of red wine is shorter, at least, the best drinking period is compared, the red wine of 1787, not to mention the sealing technology of that era.
Let's just say that this vintage must have passed the best drinking period, but this thing, can you say that you are drinking wine? Although it may not be as good as some modern red wines, it is definitely a treasure, to paraphrase that this wine, drinking is not wine, but history.
How valuable is this history?
Song Siyue next to him was also full of shock, 1787 red wine, this thing, it really doesn't mean that you can get it if you have money, or rather, it's not something you can get if you have the power. It's really one bottle to drink and one bottle less.
"Damn, Lao Bai, you have inventory here, I, where did you get this from, awesome. I'm damn you, that's amazing. Damn, no, I have to post a circle of friends. Ma Xiaoyun took out his mobile phone without thinking about it.
Qin Mubai was a little speechless, but it was still very refreshing to see Ma Xiaoyun's shocked expression, after all, Ma Xiaoyun had basically seen most of the things, and he had definitely eaten and drunk more than ordinary people.
But now, Qin Mubai is sure that he has never drunk this 1787 Lafite red wine.
Ma Xiaoyun quickly took a photo of this red wine with his mobile phone, and then sent it to the circle of friends, and then Qin Mubai saw that this guy had edited a message, and showed it to Qin Mubai and Song Siyue.
It reads: I finally saw it at my friend's parents today, I always thought that I could get most of the things in this world, but this bottle of red wine, I believe many people have never seen it.
showed it to Qin Mubai, and then Ma Xiaoyun directly clicked send.
"Fat aunt, come and deal with this bottle of red wine," Qin Mubai shouted loudly.
"Yes, sir.," came the fat aunt's voice from the kitchen.
"Uh, can you handle this thing, can you handle it as a chef?" Ma Xiaoyun asked a little speechlessly, after all, the fat aunt looks like the kind of chef of the aunt next door, and things like red wine are only understood by more high-end Western food waiters, especially good red wine also needs to be decanted and so on.
"Mr. Ma, I personally think that this bottle of red wine does not need to be decanted anymore, the red wine from 1787, if it is not well preserved, this bottle of red wine has mostly become something similar to fruit vinegar, and its taste is not even as good as the dry red of a few years, so the process of decanting can be omitted. The fat aunt said with a smile.
"Also, this wine is really unnecessary, what we drink is feelings. Ma Xiaoyun immediately nodded in agreement.
"Then you can just turn it on. Ma Xiaoyun spoke again.
"Yes, sir. The fat aunt nodded immediately, and directly took out a complete set of special tools for red wine from the shelf of the restaurant next to her, to be honest, these things were bought after the fat aunt came, and then reported to Qin Mubai, many things, Qin Mubai didn't know what they were for.
But in the basic kitchen catering, the fat aunt is definitely professional.
Next, Ma Xiaoyun and Song Siyue's expressions became more and more strange, both of them are knowledgeable people, and they are both people with capital, so they often go in and out of some high-end Western restaurants.
After all, they often talk to foreigners about business or something, such as how to open some top red wines, they have naturally seen it, but even if it is the waiters in those Michelin three-star Western restaurants, or the waiters in some top high-end restaurants, their service techniques are not even as skilled as this fat aunt.
This fat aunt handles this red wine, it can be described as flowing water, I go, this is an ordinary chef? This is too against the sky, right? You know, anyone can open red wine, but don't the West pay attention to a set of aristocratic etiquette? Although the Chinese can not pay attention to these aristocratic etiquette.
But you have to admit that foreigners eat this set very much, and this set of so-called aristocratic etiquette is also very complicated, especially the action of opening red wine.
But these are all specially trained waiters in high-end restaurants, like ordinary people, who will do this?
In other words, they looked down on this fat aunt at first, but people told you every minute what it means to be professional.
A dull sound of "bang" was directly opened with the salvation game that had been sealed for many years, and then a smell of charming red wine fragrance was directly dispersed.
"Damn!" Smelling this smell, Qin Mubai didn't know what it meant, but how could Ma Xiaoyun, who often drank these high-end wines, not know? If it really turned into fruit vinegar or something, it definitely didn't taste like this.
"This is a top-notch red wine, I'm going, it's in excellent storage conditions, it's more mellow than the 82-year-old Lafite, which I've drunk, which is recognized as the best of the best, and I can already smell it just by smelling it." Ma Xiaoyun couldn't help but speak.
"Sir, what Mr. Ma said is very right, this bottle of red wine is very well preserved, and the sealing conditions are also very good, although it is almost impossible, after all, more than two hundred years have passed, but since it has happened, this bottle of red wine, if you drink it like this, it will be wasted, Mr. will follow the procedure for drinking red wine next, right?" said the fat aunt.
"Good. Qin Mubai shrugged his shoulders indifferently.
"Let's be honest. The fat aunt immediately took the red wine and went to get busy, and Qin Mubai spoke directly, "I think you guys who drink these red wines out of the feeling of sweetness and alcohol, they are all bragging, just like the emperor's new clothes, people say yes, you don't say it's good, after all, it's recognized as good, I think, isn't this thing like that? Can you drink a fart, of course, you can call me a turtle, I really haven't drunk any high-end red wine." “
Qin Mubai's words made Ma Xiaoyun and Song Siyue can't help but roll their eyes, what you said is really direct, are you complaining? If people in those top circles in the world hear your words, they will probably really scold you for being a turtle.
"Forget it, I won't scold you. I'll obey you on this. Ma Xiaoyun was a little weak.
