2561 A definite rejection
It was a bad habit of humans to want good things when they saw them. Naturally, Liu Xi was not the only one who was attracted to this set of exquisite wine jugs and wine glasses. For example, Diaz was also very tempted. He felt that if he used this type of glass to hold his beloved Shirley, he would definitely be able to drink a few more glasses. It would definitely be a double experience of sight and taste.
Therefore, after the wine tasting was over and Yuan Zhou announced the end of the exchange meeting, he was immediately surrounded by several people. With Liu Xi and Diaz as the leader, there were five or six of them who formed a circle very politely. Yuan Zhou was the center of the circle and was definitely the center of the circle.
It wasn’t that the others didn’t want to come, but there was a thick notebook and pen on every table to collect everyone’s opinions.
Basically, after drinking a kind of wine, everyone would write down their feelings. Some would even write down some expectations. A few would write about the wine being very good and what kind of wine they liked more and hoped that Yuan Zhou could brew it.
This was all normal. However, there were still some people who were sneaky. For example, Liu Xi drank a glass of wine and filled the glass again. He didn’t drink it immediately. Instead, he picked up a notebook that no one had ever asked about and wrote down his feelings.
Although he was pressed for time, Liu Xi still praised the wine cup, the wine pot, and the fine wine from beginning to end with gorgeous words. It was no exaggeration to say that he didn’t even work as hard as he did when he was writing his college entrance examination essay. He was really poor at all the compliments he could think of in his life.
He hoped that Yuan Zhou would have a good impression of him when he saw him. In that case, even if he were to discuss the wine glasses with Yuan Zhou later, there would still be room for negotiation when the matter of the wine pot was rejected. He could be said to be quite clever.
As for Dyas and the others, they had done the same thing as Liu Xi. They had all started writing while others were tasting wine. Of course, they were not stupid. They would not pick up the sesame and throw away the watermelon. Wine had to be tasted, opinions had to be written, and they had to be faster than others. Naturally, there were not many that could stand out.
“Hello, chief Yuan. I’m Liu Xi from Liangzhou winery. I’m very happy to be able to attend this exchange meeting. No wonder you’re the leader of the younger generation in the world of winemaking. You’re not inferior to these winemakers at all. You’ve also come up with a lot of wonderful ideas and surprises. All of the wine pots and cups brewed by chief Yuan look very good. I wonder where you ordered these from. It’s like adding flowers to a brocade.” Liu Xi said very directly.
On one hand, he had the straightforward style of a man from the Northwest. In addition, he knew that Yuan Zhou appeared to be very busy and naturally didn’t want to waste his precious time. Therefore, he had to say it directly.
However, there was a need to pay attention to the method, or else it would ruin his impression.
On the other hand, Yuan Zhou suddenly had an idea when he heard Liu Xi’s words. He felt it was quite feasible, so he said,””These wine pots and glasses were all designed and made by me. I apologize for embarrassing myself. My skills are not very good. I will continue to work hard in the future and strive to improve along with my wine-making skills.”
Yuan Zhou said it in a carefree manner, but Liu Xi and the others felt their scalps go numb when they heard that. Their hearts were even beating so fast that they almost wanted to jump out of their chests. They had no choice but to believe that Yuan Zhou had thrown out several bombs in the calmest tone.
The exquisite wine pot was made by Yuan Zhou. Liu Xi felt that he could barely accept it. After all, chief brew Yuan was a Top Chef, the kind that was well-known in Asia. It was understandable that a genius would have more skills. After all, he was just an ordinary person and he didn’t understand the world of geniuses.
However, in Yuan Zhou’s eyes, such an exquisite wine pot and such an unforgettable wine still needed to be worked on. He thought silently that every suggestion he had written before was nothing but flattery. Suddenly, he felt his teeth hurt.
Not to mention Liu Xi, even Diaz, a Spaniard who could only understand a few sentences of Chinese, fell silent when he caught a few key words. Although he could not understand the whole thing, his mind was normal, wasn’t it? in addition, the translator beside him also translated for him in a low voice, so he understood the meaning.
It was precisely because he understood that he was so silent.
Liu Xi finally regained his senses and said,””Chief Yuan is really amazing. Not only is his winemaking technique first-class, but his hands-on ability is also very strong. He also has very high requirements for himself. I wonder if chief Yuan is interested in cooperating with our winery. Especially the wine pot and wine cup of the Kongtong wine. I think they are very compatible with our wine.”
He was the chief executive Director of a brewery. To be honest, he didn’t know how to brew liquor. However, he was very good at tasting liquor. Therefore, although he was shocked by Yuan Zhou’s amazing operation, his main idea was to seek benefits for his own brewery.
The one who struck first would gain the upper hand, and the one who struck later would suffer. Adhering to such a principle, Liu Xi naturally had to speak first.
Of course, Dyas also liked the pots and glasses of Kasaya wine very much. Naturally, he would not let Liu Xi be the only one who enjoyed it. Hence, he immediately brought the translator one step closer and directly stated his purpose.
Then, it triggered a chain reaction. Before Yuan Zhou could say anything, several people who surrounded him started to talk about their purpose.
Like Liu Xi and the others, there were some who were also interested in the Kongtong wine. However, they were not interested in the wine pot, but rather the Kongtong wine itself. They hoped to cooperate with Yuan Zhou.
There were also people who had Heart Water Buddha Belly wine, Plum Flower wine, and other wines. They all seized the opportunity to quickly state their purpose, afraid that it would not be good if they were too late and others got there first.
Everyone talked one after another and revealed their purpose. Yuan Zhou had an idea in his heart. When everyone stopped and looked at him, he said calmly,””I’m very grateful for everyone’s love for today’s wine, but the main purpose of the exchange meeting is to exchange wine-making techniques with everyone. I won’t consider other things for the time being. Sorry.”
Although Yuan Zhou didn’t agree with them, it didn’t stop him from thanking them.
Of course, Yuan Zhou wouldn’t leave them hanging. Therefore, he expressed his intention straightforwardly. As a result, they could only give way to him and let him leave by himself.
Just like Liu Xi, who had the same idea of telling Yuan Zhou tomorrow, some other people also had the same idea.
The lively first day of the exchange ended just like that. Everyone was very satisfied with today’s wine and snacks. They could always find a wine that they liked. Even if they couldn’t find one, it was a kind of enjoyment for wine lovers to have so many high-quality wines put together.
As the people in charge of this exchange meeting, Jiang Tang and Wan Xinran were the last ones to leave. Yuan Zhou had already left, so he was quite assured to leave the remaining matters to Jiang Tang and Wan Xinran.
It was already 5 o’ clock, much later than the usual time when he prepared the ingredients for dinner. As soon as he walked out of the meeting place, Yuan Zhou sped up. He didn’t even have the mood to verify his new idea.
It took him less than five minutes to walk to the restaurant. At that time, su Ruoyan had already arrived. She came early because she knew that Yuan Zhou was going to hold an exchange meeting today. One reason was to help look after the restaurant in case someone came to Yuan Zhou but couldn’t find him. The other reason was to come early to help out in case there were too many troubles.
