"Wine...?"
When Carter opened the box, the first thing he saw was two thick books and two bottles of wine. It can be seen that these two bottles of wine will not be a bargain. The gilded label can already give people a very luxurious feeling. The bottle cap looks like gold, which makes the bottle''s wealth soar. Even the bottle is so luxurious. The wine in it must have a special taste.
Yes, special taste.
Since Dooling got the distillation patent and authorized it, many drunks, especially those with money, began to complain. They believe that durin has destroyed an industry. It is not necessary to say that the wine made by distillation is difficult to drink. After all kinds of spices and flavors are added, the color and taste of the wine have begun to change. The once less prosperous bartender industry has ushered in a huge development. If a bar does not have one or two bartenders with advanced qualification certificates and their own unique formula, it can not be regarded as a bar at all.
That kind of multicolor cocktail is very popular with girls. Coupled with the sweet taste and the aroma of fruits and vegetables, some people even shouted the slogan that cocktails are not wine.
But for those rich drunkards, the wine they drink now is a little disappointing. The accuracy of the mixed wine is absolutely enough, and the color is very thorough, but it is a little bad. Because dragon blood wood is not used as the auxiliary material for purification and fermentation, these drunkards think that the current wine lacks a... Soul.
Yes, the wine without soul can no longer find the happiness when drunk in the past. Now drinking too much wine is not only uncomfortable, but also painful. This is far less than the wine with dragon blood wood. This made many rich people who have a taste for drinking start their own brewing career. They built a small wine cellar and asked some masters who can make wine to brew dozens of barrels for their own use every year. But for those drunkards who don''t have much money, they think Turing has done a good thing, because they can easily get drunk without spending much money.
As for the headache after a hangover?
Compared with drunken happiness, it''s not a big problem at all.
The guard took a look at the two bottles of wine and estimated the price. At least each bottle was 40 yuan or more. He could afford the wine at this price. The gentleman in front of him must also be a rich miner. In particular, there is a wine glass with a circle of Phnom Penh inlaid at the mouth, which looks like a work of art.
People always have a lot of strange states. For example, those miners who go in front of Carter may not be poor miners, and there are many very rich but low-key miners. For these people, the guard clearly knows that they are rich and have a high position, but if it is just like this, it will not let him breed more awe. Because they don''t see the "facts" with their own eyes, it''s difficult for them to have such a mood that makes them inferior to others.
However, when he saw that Carter''s suitcase contained at least one or two hundred yuan, the intuitive visual impact made him personally realize the gap between them, so he showed more humility than most of the mine owners in front of him. He looked at the two books and saw only the cover. There were book covers and ties tightly binding the books. He couldn''t open them. One is "social economics" and the other is "world history", both of which are highly learned books. These books look like antiques for some years.
He checked other places and found no dangerous goods. With a humble smile, he took the initiative to compress the suitcase, picked it up with both hands and returned it to Carter, "I''ve checked it. Thank you for your cooperation. You can go in. Your invitation card has a number. Look for the corresponding seat according to the number. If you don''t know how to find it, some staff will guide you."
Carter seemed to have an impatient expression on his face. He took the suitcase, nodded his head and walked directly into the meeting hall, which made the little guard breathe out. It''s a great momentum. The big man is really great.
When Carter walked into the meeting hall, there were more than 200 people sitting in the whole meeting hall. Some of them didn''t come. He glanced at the watch on his wrist and had 17 minutes to leave the official beginning of the meeting. Under the guidance of the staff, he found his position. From the photos, there was still a gap between the actual sitting here and the photos. I don''t know if it was the photos What''s the problem? He felt that the podium leaned to the right, which just covered half of mennong''s body.
He looked at the conference guests around him. There was no one on the aisle on his right, and there was no one on the chair next to him on his left. It might take a while to come. Carter was relieved that he was a fake. What a fake miner feared most here was not that he could not leave after the assassination, but that someone had to talk to him. Once he opened his mouth, he was sure It will arouse the suspicion of others. Fortunately, this guy didn''t come. The guy across the first seat on the left doesn''t seem to have the desire to cross the distance of one seat and want to chat with himself.
Carter was sitting quietly in his chair, waiting for the start of the conference. In fact, he didn''t know that the guy on his left had a car accident half an hour ago, which was not very serious or even no one was injured, but it was very troublesome. The guy''s driver didn''t care about the collision with a luxury car. For a mine owner, the money was small money, and he gave it to him When the other party was about to leave with 200 yuan, the other party grabbed him and told him that the money was not enough.
Because the shell of the car is pure gold... God steps on the horse!
If... If it''s not too late, he will let the liar know what "pure gold" is!
As mennong stepped onto the stage, the lights in the hall changed from very bright to dim and warm. A guy who was embarrassed and said sorry while holding his briefcase ran into the meeting.
Mennon looked at him and took back his eyes. He didn''t care about those who came or were late. He cared about those who didn''t come. He wanted to see how many people were going to be right with themselves. At this point, he was more or less satisfied. More than 80% of the mine owners gathered here. As long as no one jumped out and opposed his dominant opinion with the determination of death, the trading market was a success!
"Madder, I met a psychopath on the road. He insisted that his old car painted with gold was pure gold and wasted a lot of time." the guy said to himself, as if explaining to the people around him why he was late. He looked at the guy on his left. He had seen one or two sides. He had no friendship or conversation. He also looked at Carter on his right. He had never even seen this. He held out his hand more or less curiously. "You look strange. I don''t seem to have seen you."
Carter glanced at the guy''s extended hand, hesitated and held it together. "I just invested in some mines in the West. We really haven''t met."
"Really? It''s really not a good time to invest in the west, you know..." the guy said and closed his mouth because he found mennong looking at him. He quickly bowed and closed his mouth after apologizing. When mennong''s eyes shifted away, he muttered in a low voice, "do you know why I said it''s not a good time to invest? Because the west mine will be gone, I don''t know how that fool plans to deal with us this time!"
Carter smiled and didn''t speak, but the guy seemed to be a chatterbox and couldn''t stop for a moment. "My name is Raul, Le Nao Raul, you know? It''s just... That''s Raul, Raul. What''s your name?"
Carter kept his mouth shut and the bastard around him chattered. He didn''t want to answer any questions and pretended not to hear. As a result, Raul didn''t care whether he answered or not, as long as someone was near him.
"You are very indifferent. It''s not good. You know it''s not easy for us to make money. It''s good for us to make more friends. If we can''t unite together, the fool on the stage will threaten us. But if we unite closely, when he wants to fight us, he must consider whether it will bring bad consequences."
"Do you eat sugar? This is the sugar I brought back from my last trip to the Federation. It''s not sold in China. It''s very delicious. Would you like one?"
"Is that your suitcase? Wow, it looks good. What brand is it?"
Raul Rory talked for several minutes without stopping. Mennon had begun to talk about the possible harm of the "chaotic" market to everyone''s interests. Carter had to remind Raul to pay attention to the theme of the conference.
Raul did shut up, but he just closed his mouth to him. He held out his hand to the guy on his left. "We met last time, Raul, Le aolao, that''s the one. Raul, nice to meet you."
"You know what? The guy on my right is too arrogant, which makes me feel a little uncomfortable. We are all people who survive in the West. We should unite with each other."
"Why don''t you speak? Are you shocked by my idea? I was shocked when I had such an idea. I was going to run for the Executive Committee, but it''s a pity that the west mine will be finished earlier, or maybe I can become an executive committee, don''t you think?"
Soon, Raul turned his head sideways and looked at several people sitting behind him, "my name is Raul, Le Nao, Raul, nice to meet you..."
"It seems that we met at the last cocktail party. When the meeting is over, we''ll find a place to sit together? I have a lot of great ideas to tell you..."
