Chapter 1197 - 1194: In the Face of Money, Everything Is Just a Cloud
The King laughed and said, "That’s what my daughter said that day too!"
"Oh, really? The little princess is truly intelligent and perceptive!" Sun Yijian praised.
"But when it comes to selection, our first choice is your top ten wineries’ premium high-end wines, and for second-tier wines from legal production regions, we only want aged wines and above, no new wines!" Sun Yijian stated.
Aged wine is the biggest feature of Spanish wines.
A considerable portion of wines from legal production regions are aged in barrels for three years, then bottled and aged for a year; these are the collectible wines from the legal production regions.
The King did not respond to Sun Yijian’s requirements; these demands are for the Crown Import and Export Trading Company and many Spanish wine bosses.
He can only be a middleman.
Just passing the message.
At 12 noon.
Three black Suburban bulletproof cars arrived at the tasting event.
King Philip personally welcomed Luofeng.
Seeing Luofeng’s bulletproof car, he completed a set of three.
He secretly sighed, it’s good to have money.
At that moment, Philip was very envious of the Moroccan Royal Family; they are extremely wealthy, the richest royal family in Europe.
His own queen wears Zara outfits all year round.
But the Moroccan Royal Family showcases haute couture brands during Christmas.
Prices exceed sixty thousand euros.
The daily lives of the princesses on both sides are also worlds apart.
Leonore also wears Zara brands daily, and her learning supplies and treatment are very poor.
Switching to the Daxia side, it’s just ordinary wealthy families, not at all at the level of tycoons.
Helplessly, although there is a budget of 8 million euros every year, with such a large palace and security management personnel, not much falls on them.
This isn’t them being ostentatious and suffering.
The royal family simply must be like this.
Otherwise, taking this money to buy a villa, with 8 million euros a year, really allows them to squander freely.
"Your Majesty the King, very happy to meet you again!" Luofeng greeted proactively after getting out of the car.
"Welcome, Luo!" Philip and Luofeng shared a hug.
Luofeng noticed the detail.
The other party affectionately addresses him as Luo.
Not Mr. Luo.
Expressing a close relationship between the two.
Since the other party expressed closeness, Luofeng wouldn’t be too exclusionary, "Your Majesty the King, you haven’t held the lunch banquet yet, have you? I’m a bit hungry now!"
This kind of phrasing expressed recognition of a close relationship between the two.
"Of course, lunch hasn’t started; we’re waiting for you!" The King said, "We have prepared a lot of wine; you’re welcome to taste it later!"
Luofeng continued joking, "You know, I can’t really taste wine; I even like to add Sprite to wine! By the way, this is a way a large number of Daxia’s youth enjoy drinking wine!"
The King was slightly stunned, but still said, "Alright, we’ll prepare some Sprite later!"
Luofeng was also slightly taken aback; this King has quite good emotional intelligence.
He was just joking, but the other party directly accommodated him.
Luofeng joked again, "Then Your Majesty the King, I invite you to try our Daxia youth’s style later, wine mixed with Sprite."
"Of course, I look forward to it!" Philip said, "But I have a request; I hope you’ll try our Spanish Sangria too!"
Luofeng had heard of this wine.
The so-called Sangria actually bears resemblance to red wine mixed with Sprite.
Red wine mixed with Sprite is just a simple fusion.
But Sangria is different; its base wine uses red wine, yet it adds seasonal fruits, lemon water, and brandy, etc.
Thus creating a mixed drink.
This method is merely infusing sweetness into red wine, isn’t it?
However, Sangria in Spain belongs to the most distinctive of specialties, must-have in every bar.
And it enjoys high global recognition.
Why can’t essentially similar red wine mixed with Sprite have worldwide popularity?
Probably because red wine mixed with Sprite is too simple, seemingly lacking technical content?
There are always some people who pursue complexity; is that a sense of sophistication?
"Okay, I look forward to tasting the Sangria." Luofeng replied.
Led by the King, Luofeng and the King walked side by side to the banquet hall of the Royal Hotel.
The lunch adopted a buffet format, where the King and Luofeng respectively tasted red wine with Sprite and Sangria.
They exchanged compliments.
But whether it was truly tasty, only the two parties knew.
This is probably commercial mutual praise, right?
The two people, during the lunch buffet, were both tasting wine and listening to the King introduce the representatives from Spain’s top ten wine brands.
All those attending the tasting event are responsible persons from wine estates; they have received a lot of insider news and naturally understand that this tasting event represents significant interests.
Under such circumstances, not to mention eating meat and drinking wine, even eating sunflower seeds and peanuts would be very comfortable.
After all, this time’s share can really make these wine sellers drink until they burst.
Moreover, they also expressed that Luofeng’s red wine mixed with Sprite is interesting.
Hearing this, Luofeng chuckled to himself; before benefits, any wine purity, any traditional wine culture, all are nonsense.
After some tasting.
Luofeng summed up a conclusion.
That is, high-end wine mixed with Sprite does taste better than ordinary wine.
It turns out expensive things have their reasons.
"Luo, do you find these wines tasty? Do you like them?" The King asked.
"I quite like them!" Luofeng nodded.
The Spanish wine merchants, very thoughtfully, labeled the Daxia Coin price on each wine.
Including the exchange rate used, so it was convenient for Luofeng to judge.
This act deserves praise.
"Is there hope for cooperation between us?" The King said openly.
After all, this tasting event is meant to promote cooperation.
Luofeng said, "Your Spanish wines are of great quality, but I have just one question at last!"
"Please go ahead!" The King said.
"Our import demand is huge!" Luofeng first clarified the tone.
The surrounding wine merchants, hearing this, all smiled.
Aren’t their Spanish wines ranked third globally in production?
What they want is your large demand.
