494: Chapter 494 [Li Qiuming’s Purpose] Eighth Update!
Jiang Qi gently opened a delicately packaged box and imdiately, a fragrance of liquor spread, filling the air.
The scent of alcohol drifted into Ye Chenfeng’s nostrils, intoxicating him sowhat.
It was, in fact, “Tongsheng Jin” from the Northeast, the most famous liquor industry there.
This particular drink was their signature “Daoguang 25,” nad after it was sealed during the 25th year of the Daoguang Emperor as Royal Tribute Wine.
Tongsheng Jin liquor workshop had sealed this Qing dynasty tribute liquor in the 25th year of Daoguang, making it the longest-stored white liquor in the world, with an alcohol content of fifty-three degrees, a very strong drink.
Since it was a tribute drink, it was sealed by dipping rice paper in deer blood.
Over 150 years of soaking enabled the deer blood to perate into the liquor, enhancing its effects substantially.
This bottle of wine was auctioned by Jiang Tian for several million, and now Jiang Qi was bringing it as a gift for Li Qiuming, evidently at great expense.
“Such a rare item, indeed— the last ti I drank it was eight years ago.
Haha, I love it!” Li Qiuming showed great interest.
Jiang Qi smiled, “Director Li, I did not bring much in terms of gifts to Macau this ti, so I’m presenting this ‘Daoguang 52’ as a gift, for soone who appreciates liquor.
This item makes no difference in our hands compared to ordinary liquor, but in Director Li’s hands, it truly demonstrates its greatest value!”
“Haha, well said, then I won’t be shy about accepting it!” Li Qiuming roared with laughter.
Thump!
Seeing this, and with her heart tied to the company, Gu Jundie felt a sudden sinking feeling inside.
It seed that Jiang Group had co prepared, even bringing “Daoguang 52” as a gift for Li Qiuming.
And their side had not prepared at all, to the extent that she could not even get a word in.
Ye Chenfeng had a chance, but he said nothing.
Distressingly, he could not shift the conversation towards the company, which really worried Gu Jundie.
The wine party tonight included not only Ye Chenfeng and a few others; many celebrities gathered as well, and it was unclear under what pretext Li Qiuming had organized this wine party.
Ye Chenfeng even noticed so mbers of the dia there, though these dia were privately owned by Li Qiuming and never reported any negative news about him.
Ye Chenfeng grew more and more curious— Li Qiuming had even involved the dia, and it was unclear why.
Of course, Ye Chenfeng did not think that Li Qiuming was hosting the wine party specifically to welco him—that would indeed be strange.
Soon Li Qiuming was subrged by the crowd.
These people rarely had access to Li Qiuming, the wealthiest man around, and would not miss such an opportunity.
Naturally, Ye Chenfeng did not follow Li Qiuming but began to wander around the party with Gu Jundie.
“Hey, Ye Chenfeng, why aren’t you worried?
Did you not see the grand gift Jiang Qi brought?” Gu Jundie took the chance to ask.
Ye Chenfeng raised an eyebrow, the corners of his mouth curling slightly, “Hmph, he gives gifts, and I take them!”
“Ye Chenfeng, don’t you dare act rashly!” warned Gu Jundie.
Ye Chenfeng shrugged, “Anyway, I am here for a holiday.
Everything else is your business, not mine!”
“You…”
Facing such an unyielding character, Gu Jundie was at a loss.
Perhaps because of the gift from Jiang Qi, Li Qiuming was beaming with joy, “Everyone, quiet, please.
I have sothing to announce!”
Standing on a high platform, Li Qiuming raised his voice and called out.
Imdiately, all eyes were drawn to him as they looked on.
“The purpose of tonight’s wine party is actually specific!” Li Qiuming said with a smile.
Hearing this, everyone’s curiosity was piqued, and they all pricked up their ears, eager to hear what it was about.
At that mont, Zhou Biman slowly walked up to Li Qiuming’s side, and Ye Chenfeng seed to realize sothing.
“Today marks exactly one hundred days since Biman and I t, on this day I want to announce sothing, Miss Zhou Biman and I are officially together!” Li Qiuming declared.
As soon as these words were spoken.
The scene fell silent, everyone stunned.
If it were an ordinary person loving whoever they want to be with, it would be different, but now, this was the richest man!
It’s no exaggeration to say that when he sneezed, Macau’s economy would tremble.
Whover he was with, the impact was even greater.
So that’s how it was, Ye Chenfeng finally understood.
He also took special notice of Li Tianfeng’s expression below the stage, serene as an ancient well, with no ripple on his face, only his eyes shining slightly.
Below, there was buzzing chatter; it turned out that Zhou Biman was once the top socialite in Macau, a well-known socialite, and had only t Li Qiuming a few months ago, formally entering the Li Family just a month ago.
Ye Chenfeng knew it must have been Li Qiuming who took the initiative, going ho and directly bringing Zhou Biman to his family.
Now he even granted Zhou Biman a status!
The wife of the richest man, an identity many would envy.
Zhou Biman might not be the most beautiful, but she was certainly the one who understood Li Qiuming the most and received his greatest favor.
Otherwise, how could a shrewd person like Li Qiuming easily bring Zhou Biman into his ho, even using the dia to broadcast the process of giving Zhou Biman status.
Zhou Biman’s face glowed with a radiant, indescribable beauty.
Li Qiuming, sowhat excited, said, “Tonight, I have decided to open so of the exhibition halls and the wine cellar!
Everyone can enjoy themselves tonight!”
“Hiss, I’ve long heard that the rich man Li’s wine castle holds a rich collection, possessing the essence of the world’s top wineries!”
“Yes, it’s a massive investnt by the rich man Li!”
“Really lucky to be able to witness the rich man Li’s wine castle firsthand!”
…
The atmosphere at the venue reached a climax, with everyone’s faces flushing red, clearly excited about Li Qiuming’s wine cellar.
Li Qiuming’s wine castle includes the Montaigne, Head-to-Horse Face Hall, Jessop Hall, San Goh An Hall, Versailles Hall, and the underground cellar.
The first five halls stored bottled wines, while the underground cellar stored even more flavorful wines in barrels.
The first place visited was the Head-to-Horse Face Hall, which in its more than two hundred square ters was mainly used to receive visitors, though it stored wine, they were not aged for long and were slightly cheaper.
These wines were generally used for visitors to taste.
Though the Head-to-Horse Face Hall’s wines couldn’t compare to the world’s top wines, Li Qiuming’s collection was still precious, many people would never see such in their lifetis.
Bottle after bottle of precious wines quietly displayed behind the transparent glass, glowing, the delicate red and yellow hues gently overflowing, very beautiful to look at.
Ye Chenfeng casually opened a glass cabinet, took out a bottle of ’90 Lafite, tilted his head and gulped several sounds, emptying the entire bottle into his stomach, and after finishing, seed dissatisfied, exclaiming, “Too ordinary!”
“Such a wastrel!”
Watching Ye Chenfeng devour a bottle of Lafite in seconds, everyone felt like dying, as everyone else was sipping carefully, the aromatic wine tantalizing their taste buds, but Ye Chenfeng drank it like it was plain water, gulping it down!
And then calling it too ordinary!
It was simply infuriating!
