After the host left the stage, another white man with a big beard named He Wei came up. He introduced himself as the chief winemaker of the Paris Flower.
That guy spoke in English with a heavy accent which made Young Master Wang feel particularly friendly.
I didn't understand it, but others also had a hard time listening to it. This proved that my English level was average!
Wang Yan actually studied English very hard, but it was only a short while. At his current level, he could read simple news, but his listening and speaking skills were still quite weak.
The amazing thing was that He Miaomiao could actually understand it.
"Is it very rare?"
Young Missy was arrogant again.
"It's a typical southern French accent. He Wei should have been born in Roussillon Provence. He speaks Oyi and French daily, but this wine is produced in the white shore of France..."
I couldn't understand!
Fine, I was a hoodlum...
Young Master Wang put on airs and nodded proudly. In fact, he was a little ashamed -- he had been insulted by a low-witted fool!
His mood was particularly bad, so he started to ask for trouble again.
"Miaomiao, how many languages do you know to call Papa?"
"D*mn hooligan! You're off topic!"
The young missy tugged hard on the back of Wang Yan's hand, which was still on her knee, very conveniently.
"Look at your ignorant and stupid look! All languages almost have similar pronunciation of papa. You think it's a noun like father and it's not the same?"
"Er... yes..."
Young Master Wang was a little dumbfounded from the blow.
It's humiliating!
It's too humiliating!
He had just defined the young missy as naive and sweet, but she had used her IQ to crush him. If he did not take revenge, he would not be Wang!
Master Wang calmly moved his hand up again -- a few centimeters.
Then, he instantly broke out in a sweat from the pain.
The silly, fair and sweet had killed him!
It was as if he had been clamped by a pair of pliers. It was hard for her to have such strength.
He then obediently stopped and went to serve the wine.
Today, the organizers provided four types of fine champagne for the guests to taste.
Beautiful Time White & White 2002 Champagne;
Beautiful Time 2004 Champagne (1.5L);
Rose Super Dry Champagne;
Beautiful Time 2007 limited edition champagne.
Four different types of champagne, matched with different dishes, were drunk at different times and occasions.
The choice and match of wine was very fastidious in western cuisine. It was an important part of the dining culture.
For example, the high acidity and heavy fruity dry type was the best for aperitif before meal.
White & White was suitable with veal.
2004 was more suitable with seafood.
The highlight definitely was the last one, 2007 limited edition.
It was fresh and refreshing with tonal complexity and lingering fragrance. It was very satisfying for dry drink or to drink it with caviar, oysters, foie gras and other dishes.
The match of wine was not deliberately mystifying or gimmicking.
After a real tasting comparison, you would find that champagne with different acidity and flavor, red wine and even white wine, indeed worked with the food, forming a more complex taste.
Just like the kebab in the street in the summer evening, it must be accompanied by cold beer, and not Maotai.
So this was knowledge, and was not by no means exquisite.
He Wei began to run around the place. The interpreter followed behind him and shared the experience of tasting wine with the guests.
During this time, there were some interesting small interactive activities.
For example, asking a guest to guess four types of wine blindfolded, and the guest would get a reward if the answers were correct.
Another example was inviting a guest to talk about the experience of wine tasting.
There were also Chinese food masters who shared Chinese food dishes that were suitable to match with the wine.
They also shared some knowledge about the storage and drinking of champagne.
Wang Yan followed Chief He's pace and eating and drinking. He felt that he had gained a lot and learned some new things.
As a Prince Charming, he had no end to learning.
When the final appetizer was almost done and the main dish was served, the main event officially began.
"I believe that everyone has already witnessed the performance of 2007 limited edition champagne.
There will be a total of 300 bottles sold in Mainland China, of which 150 bottles will be reserved for our old friends of the Paris Flower, and the distributors in various provinces and regions.
For the remaining 150 bottles, all the guests present will be automatically given a chance to buy one bottle at a fair price.
There are 90 VIP in total, one bottle per person, a total of 90 bottles.
For the remaining 60 bottles, we will do a small interaction -- a simple small auction.
It will be six bottles for one item, a total of 10 items, and 10 rounds of auctions.
The price of a single bottle is 1,800 RMB. The starting price is 10,800 yuan, each increases in the price of a minimum of 100 yuan, no ceiling.
Since all of you are business celebrities with strong financial resources, and can afford to take all, we can only have a small restriction --
Everyone can only bid for one item.
Alright, that's all and let's begin!
The first item is up for auction. Everyone, you can bid now. Just raise your hands and bid."
When the main event finally came, He Miaomiao's face was full of depression. She pouted and looked very unhappy.
Without asking, Wang Yan knew what was going on.
He smiled and comforted her, "To be able to bid for two items of 12 bottles is already quite a lot. How could the organizers let you take all the cheap items?"
It was indeed not expensive. The total price of 300 bottles was only 540,000, which was not much even if it was quadrupled.
More importantly, champagne was actually not a wine that had great potential to increase in value. It only had a shelf life of two to five years, unlike top-grade dry red wine, which often needed to be stored for 20 to 30 years before it reached its peak.
As to buy and drink, it was best to drink all the new wine within two years. That was the true essence of champagne.
Therefore, this kind of wine could not be sold at a high price. It had no collectible value and was only bought for drinking. The young miss did not need to buy so much.
"But I really like the bottles of 07..."
He Miaomiao still pouted with pitiful expression.
There was no need to deliberately act coquettishly, but it was more lethal than other girls who took the initiative to act coquettishly -- the justice of good looks.
Wang Yan smiled. "So you only like bottles? I'll give you all seven wine bottles after I finish drinking them, okay?"
"No! Give them to me directly. You're not allowed to drink them!"
It was rare for her to be a little unruly, so Papa Wang naturally had to spoil her.
"Okay, okay, okay, I'll give to you directly!"
"Hmph! Such a good man!"
The young missy was finally happy, but Young Master Wang was not.
What was going on?
Why did this girl always not understand the hierarchy of the upper and lower levels?
It's because the relationship was more chaotic.
Wang Yan thought that he was the young missy's father, but the little princess treated him like a keeper. It did not match at all!
Judging from the current misalignment, it would take a lot of effort to get used to it.
Whether the east wind overpowered the west wind, or the west wind overpowered the east wind, it was hard to say even in the future.
While they were chatting, the first bottle of champagne was auctioned for 22,800 yuan, and the bidding price was still very active.
He Miaomiao glanced at it and ignored it.
Who was so patient to drag things out?
This princess wanted to make a decisive move!
The price rose all the way to 45,000 yuan before it began to rise and not move.
He Miaomiao finally raised her hand and shouted a sky-high price, "60,000 yuan!"
Of course, 60,000 yuan was not a lot, it was less than staying two nights at the Sinan Mansion. However, considering the value of the wine itself, the price was already six times higher.
As a champagne that could only be drunk and had no collectible value, it was considered a ridiculous price.
However, even so, there were still people competing with the young missy.
Today's guests were all wealthy, and there was a limited auction of 60 bottles. If it was not ridiculous, it would be a waste of the other party's efforts.
"65,000."
The bidder was a middle-aged lady. Her makeup was heavy, but it couldn't cover up the scars left by the passage of time. She was wearing a Chanel high-cut dress, which was at least a few hundred thousand.
Whether it was a dress or a bid of 65,000, it wasn't enough to scare the young missy.
"100,000!"
With a casual shout, it rose to six figures, as if she was determined to win.
The lady was stunned. She turned back to look at He Miaomiao, carefully scrutinizing her face, earrings, shawl, and gown before turning back silently.
She gave up.
"100,000 going once!"
The host was overjoyed. To be able to bid such a price was completely unexpected.
"100,000 going twice!"
"100,000... going thrice! Sold! Congratulations to that lady..."
He Miaomiao did not listen to what was said on the stage at all. She lowered her head and took out her card, waiting for the waiter to bring her the POS machine.
Then, the stage started to bid for the second item.
Wang Yan did not wait for anyone to bid and directly shouted, "108,000."
The host was stunned. He was stunned for a moment before he reacted.
Naturally, no one would bid again.
Being rich was one thing, being willful was another. There was a limit to both things. It was obvious that Young Master Wang and Miss. He were more willful.

After three times of shouting, the waiter had just walked over to their table.
Young Master Wang turned to He Miaomiao and gestured, "Swipe your card. Swipe my share, too."
While the young missy entered the amount of 211,600, she said arrogantly, "Based on?"
"I can't even get an empty bottle. Why do you think that is?"
"Then why don't I leave a bottle for you? Isn't there a bottle of cheap wine later? You can keep it and entertain Hei Hu or something."
How generous!
Wang Yan didn't know whether to laugh or cry as he shook his head. "The two of us can finish at least five bottles of wine for a meal. We treat him to a drink, and in the end, we just let him rinse his mouth with a bottle. Is it the way to do things?"
"Then don't leave a single bottle! Men don't do good things after drinking wine. You should go and fight with Brother Hu!"
I really wanted to play, but Hei Hu had to be willing to play along...
Moreover, it was just that one time, and a piece of flesh was pinched off. Even now, it had not grown back. How dared I?
"It's okay, I'll give them all to you. Anyway, you're the boss of the money you spent."
Just now, Wang Yan wasn't proactive enough and she opened her mouth. Now that Wang Yan took the initiative, she started to put on an act again.
"Do you want me to leave a few bottles for your girlfriend to try? It's okay, just treat it as my treat!"
"You're so generous, thank you!"
The young master sneered, his face full of rejection.
What kind of crazy person would use the wine that Miaomiao bought to show off to Liu Li?
Digging a hole for me, you're still too inexperienced!
The young missy giggled and did not mention this again. She turned around and instructed the waiter to send all 14 bottles of wine to block 65 in Sinan.
In less than a minute, the two of them had taken down the first two bottles of wine. Moreover, they had directly raised the premium price to 10 times the original price, attracting waves of sidelong glances.
The host was so beautiful that the chief wine master took the initiative to come over and "flatter" them.
The host was actually quite normal, but Wang Yan could only understand it this way.
"Dear Sir, beautiful lady, thank you for your great love for the Paris Flower. I only represent..."
Wang Yan was already quite good at business greetings. After the translator had finished conveying his meaning, he was about to speak.
Then, the young missy actually snatched the job and took the initiative to speak, murmuring a long string of responses.
I didn't understand a single word!
Wow, French?!
Wang Yan was shocked, while He Wei was overjoyed
Actually, he was called He wei. When He Miaomiao addressed him, she pronounced it as "Ai Wu Wei." The "Wu" in it was a light short sound, and the whole word sounded closer to Alvy.
However, Young Master Wang did not care so much, so long it sounded smooth to call him He Wei.
He Wei was very happy that He Miaomiao could speak French. He smiled so much that the wrinkles on his face were unfurled, and he began to chat happily with the young missy.
Since the two of them could communicate, the interpreter began to idle at the side.
Wang Yan could only stare at Chu Hong.
He could not just stare at him like that. Chu Hong took the initiative to start a conversation. "Young Master Wang's female companion is knowledgeable and full of nobility. I wonder which family's daughter she is from?"
Wang Yan didn't know what his father-in-law was doing, so he replied vaguely, "Follow my surname."
"Oh! Miss. Wang!" Chu Hong suddenly understood. "Your younger sister?"
Wang Yan smiled and didn't say anything. She was noble and cold... no, she was mysterious and flirtatious.
Chu Hong was a discerning person, so when he saw this, he immediately changed the topic.
"How long does Young Master Wang plan to stay in Shanghai?"
"About a week or so. I have to get those two buildings."
There were five more days before the auction officially ended. There was no need to go back and make more trouble.
Chu Hong nodded. "If you have time, please come to my office. It's rare to get a card, so I plan to design a special pattern and autograph for you."
In fact, before the formal application was made, it was unknown whether the card would be ready.
However, Chu Hong was confident that he could settle everything. He did not mention his background and ability in the industry. He only looked at Wang Yan's own talent and there would not be any problems.
Wang Yan really wanted that card. If it really had a limit of 20 million, it would not be a small amount of money. It could solve many problems.
However, he still had to put on a straight face and smile nonchalantly.
"Chu Hong, the property rights for my two floors will not be transferred for a while. The transfer of the property rights for the judicial auction seems to take 20 to 30 days. Don't be anxious!"
How could Chu Hong not be anxious?
He immediately guaranteed, "It's alright. It's fine as long as you have the court's confirmation of the auction transaction and the receipt. Getting a card is just a capital verification, not a mortgage loan... Eh, Young Master Wang, when Wangting Yule really wants to get a loan, you can't look for someone else!"
Wang Yan smiled bitterly, and it was absolutely true. "Chu Xing, I really don't lack money..."
"Of course I know you don't lack money."
Chu Hong nodded and said earnestly.
"But the company is a company, and individuals are individuals. It's impossible for Wangting to constantly use your capital injection to expand its operations... How do you calculate the shares?"
Young Master Wang's expression instantly became somewhat solemn and distressed.
"You're right. The company's new share allocation plan is being discussed, and the shareholders have concerns... sigh, they can't spend the money even if they want to..."
That's right!
Chu Hong was overjoyed, but he tried hard to suppress his excitement and continued to think for Young Master Wang.
"Your 500 million real estate is too scary. Actually, the most appropriate thing is to directly inject 500 million in cash. The cash can be used for development, and it can also be used to give benefits to the shareholders, so everyone won't have so many concerns.
However, you don't lack money. I believe that everyone will understand your good intentions...
As for the funds needed for the business, you can rest assure. People's livelihood is a friendly business. If you need it, feel free to mention it!"
Seeing the large amount of money coming to his door and almost forcing him to do so, Liar Wang wanted to laugh in his heart, but he became more reserved on the surface.
"There's no need to return it? If so, I'll take it. You don't rush me. Everyday there are people on this small matter... well, I'll think about it again, okay? "
Chu Hong's heart tightened when he heard Wang Yan "accidentally" leaked the information.
F*ck!
There were really people in the same line of work who wanted to steal business!
It made sense when he thought about it. With such a rich young master, it would be strange if no one was watching.
Chu Hong's heart was instantly filled with a sense of urgency. He wished that he could take out a true unlimited card from his underpants right now and slap it in front of Wang Yan.
Other than that, what else could be effective?
There had to be... there had to be girls. He would bring with him for the next meal. If one was not enough, he could bring the three of them with him. He could bring any girl he wanted.
After that?
Just as he was racking his brain, the host on stage shouted, "68,500 going once!"
Chu Hong had a flash of inspiration and immediately raised his hand. "70,000!"
Wang Yan was stunned. "Why, is Chu Hong very satisfied with today's wine?"
Chu Hong smiled mysteriously. "The wine is good, but I can't afford to enjoy it."
Oh, could it be that he was going to give it to me?
Young Master Wang immediately reacted and felt that it was so ridiculous and funny.
This was really new. This brother had been fooling around for a while, and he had actually got to the point of being "bribed" by a bank manager?
However, there was no need to take advantage of this.
Wang Yan shook his head and took out his phone. "Come, Chu Hong, let's add on WeChat."
Chu Hong did not undestand why, but he was very happy. He immediately opened WeChat and said, "Aiyo, that's my honor... 75,000!"
At the same time, he shouted out another bid.
After adding him as a friend, Wang Yan directly transferred 100,000 yuan to him.
Chu Hong was stunned. "What are you doing?"
"Chu Hong, since you don't need that auction spot, then I'll have to trouble you to help me bid for it so that I can coax our young missy. Thank you, thank you!"
Wang Yan directly opened his mouth and spoke with a gentle attitude.
Chu Hong immediately understood that the young master did not want to accept such a big favor from him.
His heart was filled with regret and his words were overflowed with words.
"You are really something. There aren't many expensive things here. Let me send your younger sister a gift to express my appreciation..."
"It's very expensive. A Gentleman's friendship emphasizes that the gift is light and the feelings are heavy. It's not good to let you personally spend money."
Wang Yan shook his head and stood firm.
Under the young man's clear and calm gaze, Chu Hong realized that there was nothing he could do and sighed helplessly.
"Alright then... Then you don't have to give so much. After I pay, the balance will be transferred back to you, alright?"
"Alright, then I'll have to trouble you, Chu Hong."
"It's no trouble... 79,000! Young Master Wang, you're far more famous than when we met! I previously thought that President Ai's praise of you was exaggerated, but now I know that President AI said too little!"
Chu Hong gave him a sincere thumbs up.
His appearance, gesture, bearing, adaptability, mindset, temperament... everything was good. He was worthy of the evaluation of a dragon among men.
In just a short hour of contact, Wang Yan's image in Chu Hong's mind was already good to the point of exploding.
Now, even if someone told Chu Hong that Wang Yan didn't have much money and that he was cheating him of taking out a loan, Chu Hong would definitely slap him and reply with two the word, "Scram"!
When he called out the price previously, Chu Hong was determined and his wallet ached.
The auction bill would definitely not be reimbursed. It was equivalent to using private money to settle business matters.
Even though he had made friend with Wang Yan and his connections were his own, the price was really quite high. It was hard to say if he would be able to recoup it.
Young master's decisive rejection made Chu Hong very comfortable.
Not only was it a matter of money, but there was also a sense of satisfaction that he did not misjudge the person and did not fail to invest.
He had a lot of money, was generous, and had principles. What a good customer!
Old Chu, I was truly blessed today!
The moment Chu Hong accepted the money transfer, he made up his mind. Young Master Wang, I will do my best to handle your matter!
Wang Yan and Chu Hong, who seemed to be on stimulants, looked at each other. They smiled and did not say anything. Their eyes were deep and serene.
The most important thing was that one's character could not be destroyed.
This young master would never do something that would cause a small loss.
He Miaomiao was chatting with He Wei, but she did not forget to pay attention to Wang Yan at all times.
When she saw Gouzi's expression that said that everything was under control, and then looked at Chu Hong's excitement, she immediately understood, "Fine, another one was fooled."
