Chapter 73 Lafite Is A Younger Brother (1St Update In The Morning!)
"I've never heard of it!" Eighty-year-old Xiaona shook her head, squinted her eyes and giggled, "But it's better than any red wine I've ever had before!"
"Yeah! I think so too!" Several other girls also nodded.
Xiuya said: "Xiaobai, is this wine expensive? If not, I want to buy a few bottles for my dad to drink!"
"This is a gift from a friend. I don't know the exact price." Jiang Xiaobai looked at David.
David smiled and said, "Ma'am, the bottle of red wine you are drinking is from the Romanée-Conti Grand Cru, and the price is around 19,000 US dollars."
(00)!!
The four girls couldn't help being taken aback, thinking that they had heard wrong!
"How much...how much?!" Xiuya's voice trembled a little.
"Nineteen thousand dollars," David said with a smile, "this is the price before tax."
Hearing David's words, the four girls trembled, their little hands softened, and almost dropped the wine glasses in their hands into the swimming pool!
$19,000 a bottle of red wine?!
Converted into Dongfang coins, that's more than a hundred thousand!
Or pre-tax?!!
Doesn't that mean that the one sip I just took is worth several thousand?!
Oh my God!
I just drank a few thousand in one gulp?!
Looking at the red liquid in the wine glass, the four girls didn't dare to drink anymore!
After a while, Xiuya was the first to come back to her senses: "This wine...is too expensive! You can drink more than a dozen bottles of Lafite!"
"Yes!" Xiaona nodded with lingering fear on her face, "I thought a bottle of Lafite worth more than 10,000 yuan is already very expensive! But compared with this Kangti, he is a younger brother!"
Yaoyao also asked with a puzzled look: "Isn't Lafite the best among red wines? How can there be more expensive red wines?"
As early as seeing the confused expressions of the four girls when they heard about Romanee-Conti, David knew that these four girls, like most orientals, did not know much about red wine
In fact, even Jiang Xiaobai himself doesn't know much about red wine.
After all, in his previous life, all his thoughts were on avenging his parents, and he had no interest in any luxury or pleasure, so how could he possibly know about red wine?
But in this life, Jiang Xiaobai has enough mood and financial resources to experience various luxuries.
"David, can you explain in detail? I'm also very interested~!" Jiang Xiaobai said with a smile.
"Okay, sir," David nodded, and then said, "The red wine produced by Lafite Chateau is indeed good, but it is far from the best. Even if you rank the world's top red wines, the red wine produced by Lafite Chateau may not even be in the top 20!"
"Huh?" Hearing David's words, the four girls were stunned. This was completely different from their perception of red wine in their brains!
In their impression, Lafite is the No.1 among red wines!
"But...if this is the case, why is Lafite so famous?" Xiaona immediately asked, "When people around me talk about red wine, they say that Lafite is the best!"
"This involves a problem of promotion and operation," David said with a smile, "Do you know what the full name of Château Lafite is?"
The four girls shook their heads blankly.
David said: "The full name of Chateau Lafite is 'Chateau Lafite-Rothschild', have you heard of Rothschild?"
"I seem to have a little impression!" Xiuya showed an expression of reminiscence, while the other three women were still at a loss.
For this, David and Jiang Xiaobai are not surprised at all.
As an ordinary girl, how could she pay attention to the affairs of the financial world!
So, David first gave the four girls a brief introduction to the information about the Rothschild family:
"The Rothschild family is a financial family that has been passed down for more than two hundred years.
In the 19th century, there was a popular saying in the West: "There are six great powers in the West: the Empire on which the sun never sets, the Kingdom of France, the Kingdom of Polar Bears, the Austro-Hungarian Empire, Prussia and the Rothschild family." ’ Therefore, the Rothschild family is also known as the ‘Sixth Empire’. When the sun never set to buy the Suez Canal from the Pyramids, they borrowed money from Rothschild..."
Jiang Xiaobai has also heard about the Rothschild family.
Although after World War II, Rothschild's influence gradually declined, but a lean camel is bigger than a horse, and his influence in Western countries is still beyond imagination!
For example, President Francie before Jiang Xiaobai's rebirth belonged to the "Rothschild Gang"!
And then Geely's acquisition of Volvo, which caused a global sensation, was behind the operation and mergers and acquisitions by an investment company under the name of the Rothschild family!
In a few years, Papa Ma became the richest man in Asia by virtue of Taobao, and the scenery was unparalleled for a while, but some people said that the property of the Rothschild family was equivalent to 2,000 Papa Ma!
Of course, this statement cannot be proven, because the Rothschild family has never disclosed their family property, and no one knows how much wealth this family has accumulated in the past two hundred years!
After briefly describing the history of the Rothschild family, David said: "~The Rothschild family are born financial geniuses and gods of management. They know how to maximize the value of a product. After taking down Chateau Lafite, they began to manage the reputation of Lafite on a global scale. Combined with the background of the Rothschild family, they created a super high reputation for Lafite."
"Let's talk about Chateau Lafite itself. The entire Chateau Lafite has 107 hectares of vineyards, with an annual output of 420,000 bottles of Lafite red wine. Such an output is very rare among top red wines. The high output and high reputation make Lafite the most profitable winery. The increase in profitability allows them to spend more money to increase their popularity worldwide!"
"However, the high output also increases the difficulty of quality control, making Lafite unable to become the top red wine, even in the Bordeaux production area where Lafite is located, it is not the top
"The Chateau Petrus and Château Lipin, which are across the river from Chateau Lafite, truly represent the highest quality of Bordeaux red wine (Li Zhao's), and the former is recognized as the wine king in Bordeaux!"
"As for Lafite, it is actually just a brand-name winery promoted by bankers and the emerging bourgeoisie.
Unlike those novels that have twists and turns and moving plots, David's narration is a bit straightforward, but the girls are still fascinated by it.
They didn't expect that a bottle of red wine, which seems simple, has so much history and origins!
"But...Mr. David, what about this Romanee-Conti? After hearing so much from you, it seems that there is nothing wrong with Romanee-Conti!" Xiaona said.
David smiled: "If Petrus is the king of Bordeaux wine, then Romanee-Conti from Burgundy is the king of French wine!"
Hearing this, the four girls understood.
It turns out that Lafite, who is famous all over the world, is not only a younger brother, but also the younger brother of younger brothers!.
