Corcasian Island.

Jean-Frank Bonaparte, according to himself, was a descendant of the Bonaparte family, a descendant of the younger brother of Napoleon the Great.

This is of course nonsense. In fact, before the rise of Napoleon, the Bonaparte family was an aristocratic family in Corcasia, and the offshoots of the family were already numerous at that time, that is to say, there were many Bonapartes on Corcasia. .

These Bonapartes have nothing to do with the Bonaparte dynasty. If they really want to, they are at most in the same ancestral hall according to the mainland.

No, it doesn't really matter, as long as his surname is Bonaparte, that's enough.

Frank grew up in a well-to-do family, and the country has a rich wine culture. At the banquet of his coming-of-age ceremony, his father opened a bottle of Romanée-Conti 1952. Since then, he has fallen in love with red wine unexpectedly. Especially top red wine.

From the beginning of going to the winery to buy wine of a good year, to being active in the major auction houses of famous wine in the later stage, I often spend a lot of money for a bottle of red wine.

With the blessing of massive funds, interests can often develop very well.

The same is true for Frank. He is not short of money, and he will find a way to get any wine he wants. Having tasted all kinds of well-known wines in the world, he quickly changed from a young baiyan to a master wine taster, and he is also a blind taster master.

You can know the brand and origin after a sip, and you can even tell the year and the winemaker of that year.

If Frank is willing to develop in the wine tasting industry, as a wine taster, there should be great prospects, and the annual income will be very considerable.

But maybe it's because the surname Bonaparte is too heavy on his head, he wants to maintain his identity, he doesn't bother to be a sommelier, but wants to be a sommelier.

Wine connoisseurs are not so easy to be. Like Frank, who is almost obsessed with red wine, spends a lot of money on buying and storing wine every month.

The family property left by his father is just rich but not huge. The red wine is top-notch, and of course food, clothing, housing and transportation must keep up. According to his method, there is no doubt that the family property will be wiped out one day .

This day did not come slowly. It took ten years from the time he bought his first bottle of top-quality wine to the time he sold his last bottle of wine.

If he can persist for ten years, it can be regarded as his housekeeping.

To be able to persist for such a long time, it must be said that Frank is not self-motivated, and has no intention of investing or starting a business. Otherwise, the little money left by his father may be wiped out in half a year.

You must know the descendants of the nobles in the city of Paris who were incomparably glorious in the past, but many aspirants who wanted to restore the glory of the family sold all their belongings, and finally curled up in the alleys of the slums of the 18th arrondissement, waiting slowly Vultures gnaw on their carrion.

Frank was lucky, he became clean and smooth, and after half a year of eating without a meal, the kind Virgin Mary hummed "The Virgin Mary" and rescued him, giving him Putting on decent new clothes, let him live in a decent house, and let him have a decent identity - the owner of Lafeng Winery.

Will there be a big difference between wines from different years in the same winery?

For a top wine taster like Frank, the answer is definitely "yes"; but for the main consumer group, the answer is also "yes".

The difference is that one is a blind tasting, and the other is an open-book test. Someone will tell the second type of people the difference in advance, and they can follow suit.

The essence of the difference is that there is no one, and how many people in the world can tell the difference between the taste of Lafite in 1982 and that in 1985?

It doesn't matter if you can't tell the difference, the point is that you can afford it in 1982.

I drink 82-year-old Lafeng, and I only make friends with those who can afford it. This is the so-called circle.

Last year, Nanyi hoped that there would be Lafeng wine on the market this year; Frank, the owner of Lafeng winery who has experienced hardships and owns 20% of the shares, also very much hoped to get a dividend as soon as possible.

As a result, the first batch of wine from Lafeng Chateau - Lafeng 1980 will be on the market soon.

As for red wines that need to be cellared for two or three years before they go on the market, such as the 1982 Lafite, it is actually not important that it will be on the market until 1985. Nan Yi and Frank both said that they ignored this point.

Lafeng 1980 is not brewed, and the steps of cellaring and the like are not applicable to it.

Using Napoleon's collection from that year, according to a certain ratio, and shaking it with the top red wine bought in the market, a Lafeng 1980 is "brewed" in this way.

Although the collection and the top red wine are all nonsense, the so-called top red wine is just a medium table wine bought in the market, but the test products that come out have been tasted one by one by Frank, a wine connoisseur, and finally the most suitable ratio is selected .

In Frank's words, the taste of Lafeng 1980 is not much different from the top red wines that cost five to six hundred dollars outside. He also suggested that Nanyi change the year and call it Lafeng 1880 directly. He is very confident in his wine tasting ability.

Nanyi rejected Frank's proposal. He is a man of integrity, so how can he do things that cheat consumers?

1980 is 1980, what are you talking about 1880.

Of course, in fact, Nanyi didn't want Lafeng Winery to offend other wineries too much. The wine that was shaken was sold as if it had been cellared for hundreds of years. How could other wineries show off their long history?

They still have to unite to block the heresy of Chateau Lafeng.

You know, 1980 is just an appetizer, and what Nanyi really wants to use to start the brand of Lafeng Winery has to be Lafeng 1982, which will be launched three years later.

Nan Yi brought Liang Yun to a top western restaurant on Hennessy Road in Wanchai. After sitting down, he said to the waiter without ordering: "Please tell your chef, I want to drink 1980 today." Vintage Château de la Faubourg."

"Okay, sir, just a moment, please."

The waiter agreed and immediately went to the back kitchen.

When Nanyi said that, it was considered an order, and it also meant a little bit of school examination.

As long as he said what wine to drink, the executive chef of the restaurant had to make a menu for him to match the wine, no matter in terms of taste or price level, it had to match.

Instead of being taken advantage of, try to serve high-profit dishes, unless the restaurant does not want to continue to open.

Of course, if it wasn't a regular customer who ordered like this, Nanyi couldn't give a poor tip for a while. Since it is meant to test the school, if the things made by others satisfy you, it is natural to give certain rewards.

You can give extra tips if you don’t want to, but a serious chef will have to tell you how ugly you are. After all, face has to be given to each other.

"I moved in next door to someone who I don't know. At night, he would bang bang and knock on the wall. I don't know what to knock on, so I couldn't sleep well at night." While waiting for the food to be served, Liang Yun suddenly Said inexplicably.

Nan Yi asked calmly, "Where do you live now?"

"He Mantian, I rented it, the room is very small."

"In the past two days, go and see the house yourself. If you are satisfied, I will buy it and give it to you."

"Really? Young Master Nan, you are so kind."

Liang Yun immediately beamed with joy, her mouth couldn't even close her mouth, and her small cherry mouth was pulled into a red Fuji.

"Isn't it just a flat, little boy, we'll finish our meal later, let's go to the fruit stall to see if there are bananas from Papua New Guinea for sale, the bananas there are the largest in the world."

"Hehehe, Young Master Nan, you're dead."

"hehe."

Nan Yi smiled faintly, took out a handful of pine nuts from his pocket, put them on the table, and peeled them leisurely.

In the next two days, Nan Yi took Liang Yun to various high-end western restaurants and ordered food in the same way. The difference was that the red wine he ordered each time was produced by a different winery, but the year was 1980. If A year or two ahead without the vintage.

At noon, Liang Yun and Nan Yi had already had dinner; in the afternoon, she went to various real estates to look at the houses; in the evening, the two of them would have dinner together again, and Liang Yun would talk to Nan Yi about her house inspections.

"Nan Shao, today I went to Taikoo Shing to look at a house. It is just beside Quarry Bay Park. I can see the Kwun Tong Pier from the window. I like it very much."

"Buy it if you like it."

"But this house is a bit expensive, a duplex, 2,000 square feet, almost 2 million."

When Liang Yun spoke, she kept staring at Nan Yi's eyes and brows, afraid that his brows would frown. The house she mentioned was her favorite and the most expensive one she had ever seen. It was her first choice.

"It's not expensive, buy it. Tomorrow, I will ask my lawyer to accompany you to complete the transfer and go to the bank to complete the formalities."

"Thank you Nan Shao."

Liang Yun was ecstatic at first, but after she calmed down, she realized what to do at the bank? Shouldn't it be said to withdraw money?

"Nan Shao, what procedures should I go to the bank for?"

"I'm almost running out of the pocket money my grandma gave me. I can't afford it now. It's a mortgage. First pay the down payment. I'll call you every month for the rest of the monthly payment."

"The shovel!" Liang Yun scolded in her stomach, "Go to the street, and leave a hand for my old lady. A meal costs two or three thousand, and I can't get 2 million? Lonely ghost [stingy ghost]...￥# @\u0026*%"

In a few tenths of a second, I let myself feel good, wiped the smiling face mask with a cloth and put it back on my face, "A mortgage is also good, such a large sum of money can be invested in other places, and used to make money."

"Haha, Liang Yun, you are really considerate. Money has to be used for investment. Let me tell you, I have been researching the 3T formula recently, and I will soon succeed. I did the math, and every time I need With an investment of about 17 million, you can stabilize 3T.

At that time, I can have seven or eight times the income, my grandma will definitely look at me with admiration, and will definitely hand over the family business to me sooner..."

"Prodigal, don't study stocks and futures, study what to buy horses, why does the eldest lady of the Zhao family look at such a waste. No, I have to work harder to get more benefits. It's just such a waste. Lost all."

After muttering at the speed of light again, Liang Yun's expression on her face was that of a little girl, "Nan Shao, is what you said true?"

"Of course."

"Then you have to take me with you!"

"I must take you with me. After waiting for 3T, I will take you around the world. I will take you to the luxury stores on the Champs Elysees and Fifth Avenue. You can buy whatever you like. .”

"great!"
