Chapter Summary
"I'll pay for the drinks." The winery manager was a little anxious, but he managed to suppress his temper and said with a smile, "It's less than a million, so there's no way Miss Ning can't afford it. it's not about the money." When red wine reaches this level, it’s basically not a matter of money. After so many years, the number of times Duan Xishen has visited the winery can actually be counted on one's fingers.
The whole party became increasingly quiet.
Many people held the wine in their hands, not knowing whether to drink it or not.
They all stopped.
Just wait and see how things develop here.
Ning Yuetong pursed her lips.
"I'll pay for the drinks."
The winery manager was a little anxious, but he managed to suppress his temper and said with a smile,
"It's less than a million, so there's no way Miss Ning can't afford it. The key is... it's not about the money."
When red wine reaches this level, it’s basically not a matter of money.
This is a collectible!
A large bottle of Morden, produced in 1945.
This year is recognized as one of the best winemaking years of the 20th century.
This is the total output. Once you drink it all, it’s gone!
How many bottles of 1945 red wine are still available today?
This bottle was sold at Christie's auction house in London in 1997 for $114,614.
Converted into RMB, it is exactly 880,000, which has a good meaning.
This buyer...is Duan Xishen.
He casually deposited this bottle of red wine at their winery along with many other bottles of red wine he had won at auction.
After so many years, the number of times Duan Xishen has visited the winery can actually be counted on one's fingers.
But... after all, it still belongs to Duan Xishen.
It would be fine if Duan Xishen couldn't remember the wine in his winery, but when he remembered it... he couldn't even buy a new one as compensation.
Where can I find it?
The winery manager was sweating profusely. He glanced at Ning Yuetong hesitantly.
"Ms. Ning, if possible, could you please ask Mr. Duan to send a message? That would also reassure us."
Ning Yuetong frowned tightly.
In high society, drinking is not for the sake of drinking.
What you drink is about relationships, what you drink is about connections, what you drink... is taste, face, and status.
A bottle of red wine that costs 880,000 yuan is compared to a bottle of red wine that costs 1,000 yuan. If we only consider the value of the red wine, is it really that high?
Most of the value is artificially added.
It is also because of the value represented by this bottle of red wine that the Ning family was able to invite so many people.
Otherwise, based on the performance of Ning Group in recent times, who would be willing to come?
After all, everyone still holds the speculation and expectation that the relationship between Ning Yuetong and Duan Xishen may not have been severed.
The winery manager would never say such things in public on a normal day.
If any problems arise, it is of course best to negotiate privately.
Keep the guests' face.
But who has more face, Ning Yuetong or Duan Xishen’s bottle of wine?
Obviously the latter.
He no longer cared about so much.
After all, it was Ning Yuetong who was unkind at the beginning.
She deceived the winery from the very beginning!
Ning Yuetong's face was pale, her hands were clenched tightly, and her fingers were dug into her palms.
She raised her chin slightly.
"Boss Duan is so busy, and you're going to disturb him just for a bottle of wine. Will you take the responsibility?"
The winery manager's face turned pale.
Duan Shao, who was standing by, sneered when he saw this.
"Ning Yuetong, you're really good at pretending. Your name has long been removed from the Duan Family Ancestral Hall. Does the gentleman next to you know about this?"
There was a whisper in the audience.
Most people present had not heard of this matter.
Although every move of the Duan family attracts attention, private matters such as the Duan family ancestral hall are basically impossible to be known by others, except for the time when Ning Yuetong moved her name there and it was publicized everywhere.
