Chapter 296: World-Class Precious Wine
Time passed by, and it was not until 3:30 in the afternoon that Li Hongxia returned to the room with two bodyguards. Holding two thick contracts in her hand, Li Hongxia smiled and said, “I’m sorry for keeping you waiting, Boss Chu, but the contract has been finalized. Please take a look. If there is no problem, we will sign according to this contract.”
“Okay.” Chu Tian took it and handed it to Song Xiaoya.
Song Xiaoya opened the contract, looked at it carefully, then looked at Chu Tian and said, “Boss, there is no problem with the contract. Both contracts are the same.”
Chu Tian nodded, looked at Li Hongxia, and said with a smile, “Boss Li, there is no problem with the contract, so let’s sign it.”
“Okay.” Li Hongxia smiled and said, “Let’s: sign together.”
Soon, after the contract was signed and fingerprints were pressed, Li Hongxia and Chu Tian each took a copy and said, “Boss Chu, how about this? I’ll treat you tonight. Let’s have a meal together.”
“Eh… let’s do it another day.” Chu Tian smiled, “Because I have an old friend here to meet, I finally came to the capital, and I have to eat with him in the evening.”
He was referring to meeting Song Xiaoya’s boss, Mr. Sun. Knowing Chu Tian’s arrival, arrangements had already been made, including a black business car sent by State Security to pick him up at the airport.
“It doesn’t matter.” Li Hongxia smiled, “Boss Chu’s friend, this is my own. Let’s eat together, I invite you.”
“It’s really inconvenient.” Chu Tian said, “That friend of mine doesn’t like contact with strangers.”
“That’s it.” Li Hongxia regretted, “That’s fine. If Boss Chu has time in the future, we must have a meal together.”
“Definitely,” Chu Tian said with a smile, “Boss Li, that’s how it is. Then I’ll go first.”
“Hey, wait a minute, Boss Chu.” Li Hongxia smiled, “I have prepared a small gift for you. Take it with you.”
“Really?” Chu Tian said. “What little gift?”
“It’s also red wine.” Li Hongxia said, “It’s my own collection. Boss Chu will come to see it with me.”
“Well.”
Since it was the red wine collected by Li Hongxia, it must be unusual, Chu Tian was not polite and directly led Song Xiaoya to follow.
……
Five minutes later, Li Hongxia led Chu Tian and Song Xiaoya into a room in the villa. Unlocking the electronic lock with her fingerprints, they entered the space. The room was relatively small, spanning only 40 square meters, and it held only a few items.
Li Hongxia gestured for Chu Tian to follow her and smiled as she spoke, “Boss Chu, have you heard of the eight rarest and most valuable collectible wines in the world?”
“Eh…” Chu Tian thought for a while and said, “I’m not quite sure about this, does Lafite in 1982 count?”
Li Hongxia shook her head with a smile and said: “The 1982 Lafite is indeed a very good wine, but compared with the eight most precious wines in the world, it’s somewhat less interesting.”
“Really?” Chu Tian asked curiously, “Boss Li, can you give me some insight?”
Li Hongxia smiled and said: “These eight rare wines are White Horse 1947, Lafite 1869, Screaming Eagle Cabernet Sauvignon 1992, Lafite 1787, Margot 1787, Romanee-Conti 1990, and Penfolds 1951.”
After listening to Li Hongxia’s introduction, Chu Tian seemed to have thought of something and said with a smile: “Hey, I’ve heard of Romanee Conti in 1990, that… appeared in the mermaid, Boss Li, is this wine really worth a million dollars a bottle?”
“It’s actually not that expensive…” Li Hongxia said, “The price of a Romanee-Conti in 1990 is only 7 to 8 lakhs, but it is true that it is rare.”
While talking, Li Hongxia came to a wine rack and said: “I have been making red wine for more than 20 years, and until now, I have only collected three of these eight types, namely White Horse 1957. I have two cases of this wine, a total of 12 bottles, and the price of one bottle is around 1.2 million.”
“There is also Lafite 1869. I only have two bottles of this wine. At an auction in 2010, the price of a single bottle was 1.5 million. I bought these two bottles from a collector with great difficulty. Yes, I bought it at a price of 1.9 million a bottle.”
“The other is Romanee-Conti 1990. I also have two cases of this wine. The price of a single bottle is only one million. In fact, I really want to collect another wine, which is Romanee-Conti 1945. At that price, It’s more expensive, more than a million dollars, but I haven’t been able to find it yet.”
“Well, of my three kinds of wine, I will give half of one to Boss Chu.”
A kind of half for yourself?
Hearing what Li Hongxia said, Chu Tian couldn’t help laughing and said: “Boss Li, this is a good thing. If you want to share half with me, I really want it.”
“You’re welcome.” Li Hongxia smiled, “It can be seen that Boss Chu is a straight forward person. Today, you take care of my business so much. I should make a small gesture in return. Looking back, I have to hurry to Fa Guo. A trip to get in touch with these good wines. Today, Mr. Chu’s visit has depleted our stock of high-end wines. I have to replenish them quickly. Otherwise, someone will ask for them later, and I will be out of stock.”
“Hahaha…”
