Chapter 889 Introducing the Wine Business
"Good! Our family is blessed with good luck this year. Haitao got promoted, Xiaoxia made money, Yuwei and Dapeng got admitted to their favorite universities, and now Hong Bin's business is getting better and better. Great event, great event, come, have a sip, be happy!"
The uncle toasted again and took a sip. The whole family drank as long as they could drink, only my aunt, Liu Yuwei and Liu Tianshuo did not drink. Liu Tianshuo was young and a snack foodie who only cared about eating. It's normal for the two of them not to drink, but my aunt also has a bit of alcohol tolerance, and usually drinks some to add to the fun at family gatherings. For some reason, she drank mineral water today.
However, there were more than a dozen people at the table, but no one paid attention to what Liu Fengxia drank. Only Shen Dapeng saw through it but didn't say anything. It was probably because my aunt was inconvenient these days and she was too embarrassed to ask, so she replaced it with plain water.
Just as Shen Dapeng put down his wine glass, he turned his head and saw Jason holding the bottle of foreign wine that his uncle put on the table just now, "Jason, you are a real foreigner, you should understand foreign wine, right? ?”
"I can drink a little, but I rarely drink except for some important parties, so I don't really understand." Jason looked at the foreign wine packaging in his hand again, and put the bottle back in place with a smile.
"Foreigners don't know foreign wine, so it doesn't make sense. Let's open it and try it later. Don't worry, it's delicious and enough."
Among the elders in the family, apart from the eldest uncle who likes to talk a few words, the rest is the younger uncle who is the most persuasive, the most enthusiastic, and the most talkative. If the younger uncle uses the same thing on the business wine table on the family, it is estimated that after the dinner is over, there will be no one. A person can stand and leave without incident, of course, he will be counted.
Among the people at the table, half of them drank, and they would be greedy for good wine. After each person took a few sips, the bottle of Wuliangye was empty, and Shen Haitao wanted to get another bottle, but he was a little entangled.
He is not greedy or dirty as an official, so how can he have a lot of money to buy extravagant good wine? The few bottles of good wine in storage are all sent by Liu Ningchen and Guo Lei on National Day, knowing that he is greedy. bottle.
"We always drink baijiu, Hong Bin just brought foreign wine, let's try it?"
As soon as Shen Haitao said this, Liu Hongshun glanced at it with a smile, "Brother-in-law, you said that you have risen to the top and became the deputy county magistrate, why are you so picky? I'll drink some wine, and I'll make you feel bad."
"I don't feel bad, why do I feel bad, big brother, you can really wrong people, it's not that Hong Bin sent so much foreign wine, I can't drink it by myself, let's try it quickly while there are many people today, if it tastes good, let's drink more , it doesn’t taste good, or I’m not used to it, Hong Bin can take it back and sell it for money.”
"I'm used to drinking it, and it tastes good! My wine is almost out of stock. If I hadn't been negotiating with a provincial agent, the manufacturer would not have been able to ship it to me years ago.
Come on, open it! "
Liu Hongbin skillfully opened the foreign wine, and sniffed the mouth of the bottle pretending to be comfortable, "Have a half cup for each person, taste the taste, the taste of this foreign wine is easy to accept, spicy and sweet, strong and full-bodied, if you think the taste is too strong, you can also taste it." You can add some ice cubes or lemon, come, try..."
"Nonsense, you have to warm it with boiling water when you drink, and you put ice cubes in the wine, is it good for your health? And you put lemons, do you have to buy a lemon in advance to have a drink with your meal?"
Liu Hongshun is a relatively old-fashioned person, not an old stereotype of feudalism, but in his bones there is also the rules and regulations of seniority and inferiority in traditional culture, and he is somewhat resistant to new foreign things. Fortunately, he likes to drink, otherwise the foreign wine in the glass would have been long Pushed aside.
"Since it's Hong Bin's agent brand, let's try it. It just so happens that I haven't drunk foreign wine yet! Slip..."
Shen Haitao tentatively took a sip, and pouted his mouth to savor it carefully. The taste was not as spicy as white wine, nor as smooth as beer. It was also different from the sourness of red wine.
The others all stared at Shen Haitao, waiting for a judgment. They didn't see any change in their expressions for a while, so they all learned to sip it, perhaps because they had never drank foreign wine, their expressions were almost the same as Shen Haitao's, neither surprised nor surprised. I hate the feeling, the taste is too ordinary.
But after all, this is a gift from Liu Hongbin to add to the fun, and it is also a brand that will be represented soon. Everyone can drink it as a rare thing, but people like Shen Haitao who are used to the mellow taste of baijiu must not like it very much.
"The taste...it's not bad, it's a bit stronger, like a Mongolian stuffed donkey, I think it will hit!" Liu Hongshun half-joked, and then took another sip.
"Foreign wines have great stamina. Otherwise, they are all tall and powerful foreigners. If you don't drink some strong wine, you won't get drunk easily. Xiaoxia, you should try it too!"
Liu Hongbin intended to please Liu Fengxia and wanted to pour wine for her, but Liu Fengxia blocked the mouth of the glass with her hand, "I'm not feeling well today, I don't drink alcohol, just like Dapeng and others, just have some drinks."
"Uncomfortable? Then stop drinking and ask Zhiwei to drink more. If you think this is good, I still want you and my wife to invest some money. Let's form a joint stock company. When I talk about the provincial agency If he doesn't earn several million a year, he will be sorry for the two million agency fee."
The smile on Liu Hongbin's face was always bright, and when he mentioned the provincial agent, he was even more grinning from ear to ear, as if a lot of banknotes had already started to flow into his pocket.
"That Jay..."
Liu Hongbin didn't remember Jason's name, so he stretched out his hand in embarrassment, and Jason took the initiative to report his name, "Jason."
"Yes, Jason, you can try it for my uncle too. Is there any difference between this wine and your foreign ones?"
Under Liu Hongbin's enthusiastic gesture, Jason raised his glass and took another sip. Looking at Shen Dapeng, who was calm and calm, he frowned slightly, "I don't drink often, so I can't taste anything. The brand packaging is fine."
"Of course, it's all produced in large foreign companies and wineries. It's not easy to import to China, and the supply is often out of stock. It will be more difficult to get the goods if it is not a provincial agent in the future! That's why I am in a hurry. After talking with the agent, the year after year happens to be the peak season for gift giving, and it might pay back in a few months."
Liu Hongbin looked at his sister eagerly, but Liu Fengxia waved her hands again and again, "Brother, don't look at me, there are still a lot of things going on in the company factory, I'm not interested in your tobacco and alcohol business."
"It doesn't matter if you're interested or not. You just need to know that you can make money. I've collected about 1.8 million yuan. If I can negotiate 1 million yuan as an agent, I won't ask you to invest. If the company insists on 2 million yuan... Sister, you have to help brother when the time comes, one hundred thousand is nothing to you, right?"
