dream pocket

The taxi stopped in a small town in the Pauillac district. Tang Xin got off after paying the fare and a tip. Going north was Chateau Lafite, and there were many chateaux nearby.

Finding a hotel in the small town, Tang Xin walked in and had a look around. There was a middle-aged thin man sitting behind the counter watching TV, and he didn't get up to greet the guests after someone walked in.

"Are there any vacancies on the third floor?"

"Have."

"The room at the end of the corridor, how much is it for a month?"

"900, ID."

The thin man stood up and picked up a notebook as if he was about to ascend the throne. After Tang Xin took out his pass and showed it to the other party, he stopped asking and gave him the key after collecting Tang Xin's money.

Before entering the hotel, Tang Xin had observed the architectural layout here. The innermost room on the third floor had the wilderness outside the window and would not be peeped. This will be his landing point for traveling through any door in the future.

The room looks tidy, with a single room plus a bathroom, plus a TV, and no more household appliances.

After closing the door, he searched all kinds of hidden places in the room. Tang Xin was afraid that there might be peeping equipment in the hotel, but after searching for a long time, he found nothing.

It seems that the hotel owner is still ethical.

After closing the door and leaving, Tang Xin walked out of the hotel. This seemingly ordinary town is full of traffic, and many outsiders will pass by.

Many people who travel to Bordeaux will not miss a taste of the idyllic scenery of the wine country.

Not to mention the field visits of investors from all over the world.

Over the past 30 years, the return on investment in famous wines has been more than thirty times!

Tang Xin walked on the idyllic path, and the surrounding land belonged to large and small wineries. Chateau Lafite covers an area of ​​[-] hectares. Naturally, it is a big business, but after all, Bordeaux has nearly [-] chateaux Local small business. <At the beginning of the season, the weather was slightly cold, which could not dissuade investors from chasing profits. Tang Xin walked all the way, and what he saw and heard, many adults with different accents and languages ​​stood in twos and threes at the edge of the winery land talking with people. Apparently it's all about business.

The closer you are to Chateau Lafite, the more poetic the scene that Tang Xin sees.

The terrain is uneven but all are gentle slopes with small range. It looks like the buildings in European classical villages, which look pleasing to the eye, hidden in a vast white landscape and plants, like a paradise.

A brown-haired young man dressed in casual clothes approached Tang Xin and asked, "Asian, do you want wine? It only costs 8 euros for a case."

Tang Xin turned his head to look at him, but his ordinary face had a pair of shrewd eyes. He stared at Tang Xin with piercing eyes, probably thinking that Tang Xin was a wine merchant to contact the source of goods.

Smiled lightly.

A box of 8 euros, an average of less than 0.7 euros a bottle.

Wine bottle cork packaging.

Labor cost.

After these two things are excluded, how much is the wine in the bottle worth?

Compared with domestic unknown beer, it is estimated that it is not much more expensive.

Although the Chinese market is rampant with fakes.

But it is probably Europe and the United States that really bring the art of counterfeiting to the extreme.

In the final analysis, it is ignorance of goods and market supervision.

Even today, liquor stores around the world are still openly selling baijiu that smells like industrial liquor.

And if you buy a high-quality imitation Rolex on the black market for less than 500 US dollars, and return to China, it is estimated that it can be sold for ten times the price.

Falsification is actually an art.

On the land full of wineries, Tang Xin looked at the Lafite winery, and asked the young man beside him who was selling to him: "I want Lafite, do you have it?"

The young man rolled his eyes and blurted out: "No problem, depending on what year you want, the price is different."

There is no problem with what he said, of course it is no problem with fakes!

If Tang Xin wants the real thing, Chateau Lafite is within 10 minutes’ walk. Do I need to ask him?

Tang Xin turned his head and asked him, "What's your name?"

"You can call me Bender."

Tang Xin's eyes suddenly became serious, and Su Rong asked: "I want to pack it in 82-year-old bottles, but fill it with Lafite wine that will be on the market this year. Do you have it?"

Bender probably understood that this person also wanted to fake.

However, I'm afraid it will take many years for the wine to be valuable.

After all, the wine poured into this year needs to be stored for a period of time to confuse the view, and there is still a risk.

Many of the customers he often comes into contact with directly ask for large barrels of wine pulp to go to various countries, which can save the large tariffs and transportation costs required for the finished product, and then produce it locally.

He said without hesitation: "No problem, the price is 120."

"One box?"

Tang Xin found it ridiculous.

If it's 120 a box, Tang Xin won't waste any more words with him.

Bender emphasized: "A bottle of 120, how much do you want?"

Tang Xin thought for a while, took out one hundred euros from his pocket, and handed it to the other party with the contact information he had prepared on it, and said with a smile: "Give me a bottle of samples to see first, and if it is ready, send an email to this Address, if you don’t contact me within two days, I will be cheated by you for a hundred, but you will miss the big business. Goodbye.”

Bender held the money and watched Tang Xin leave, as if he was shocked by Tang Xin's resolute style.

Looking down at the mailing address on the banknote, I felt that this Asian man was very weird.

But Bender smiled, business is coming!

The hotel where Tang Xin stayed did not have a surveillance camera, so he closed the door and took out any door to go home. As for the cleaning service in the hotel who found him absent, it would not arouse suspicion.

When I got home, my parents were cooking. Tang Xin tidied up and walked out of the room. Xie Wanling came out of the kitchen in surprise and asked him: "Are you at home? I just knocked on your door for a long time and no one answered. What are you doing?" ?”

Tang Xin lied, and said casually: "I just woke up, and I'm a little tired from the opening of the wine shop."

Xie Wanling sighed, and said, "I think you said that investing in wine is unreliable. Say it first, you are not allowed to go to wine after school starts, and you should study honestly."

Tang Xin nodded frequently to express his obedience to the leader's instructions.

Tang Bin waved to him in the living room, and after Tang Xin sat down, Tang Bin said: "Son, your mother and I bought you a flat with only the down payment. , but the real estate is good. It is a duplex unit on the second floor. We will take you to see it before you start school. After all, you will live in the future. How to decorate the house? The house is decorated in a strange way, there is no way."

Surprised!

Moving!

want to cry!

Tang Xin was in a complicated mood for a moment.

"how much is it?"

Tang Bin replied casually: "Nearly 170 square meters, 146 million, the down payment is 30, and the monthly payment will be about 4000. For 25 years, son of struggle, your mother and I will leave you alone after you graduate from university. Self-reliance."

Although Tang Bin's tone seemed relaxed.

But Tang Xin's mood suddenly became heavy.

The monthly household expenses will be [-] more, which is not a small amount.

He raised his head and asked, "Dad, is this house going to be rented out to others first, and the monthly payment will be paid with the rent?"

"Rent? It's very close to the university. Didn't you say you want to go to Tianhai University?"

Tang Bin pushed the spectacle frame on the bridge of his nose, not understanding Tang Xin's thoughts.

Tang Xin was taken aback, and said: "I have to spend a lot of money to go to college. It's [-] a month, [-] a year. Doesn't this put a heavier burden on you and my mother?"

Tang Bin asked in surprise: "Didn't you invest in wine? You can't make four thousand a month? Then why invest?"

Tang Xin, whose expression froze, finally understood.

He is the nominal investor of the co-authored wine, and the profits still have to be handed over to his parents.

With this entry and exit, the financial burden of the family does not seem to increase. Of course, the premise is that the wine is stable and profitable every month.

In any case, Tang Xin was very touched. He sat beside his father and thought about it, and said, "Dad, why don't you live in that house first. I live on campus when I go to college. The house is a duplex on the second floor, 170 square meters. I don't want to waste it when I'm idle." gone?"

Tang Bin flipped through the newspaper and didn't lift his eyes this time. He said calmly, "It's good to live here. If your mother and I move to the West District, the restaurants won't care? It's troublesome for me to go to work. Besides, after you go to college, your home will be spacious. There are too many, even now, the space is not crowded."

Tang Xin was right when he thought about it.

I'm afraid it will be a lot of inconvenience if I really move away from this community.

Look at what the parents mean, they don't plan to live in the house in the West District, and they don't think about renting it out.

If you are in college, you can live by yourself.

After all, Tang Xin likes to have his own private space. If he lives on campus, it will always be inconvenient in the dormitory.

Furthermore, there is a house in the west district, and my parents occasionally want to go to the suburbs to see the scenery for a change of mood, and there is also a place to stay.

"Then my contact person helped to refer to the decoration?"

Tang Xin asked his father for his opinion.

"You know someone?"

Tang Xin nodded and said, "I have dealt with the design company for the wine decoration, maybe the repeat customers can get a discount."

"Then you contact, but the decoration plan must be shown to me."

With his father's consent, Tang Xin went back to his room and dialed Lin Xue's phone number. After telling her that he had a suite that needed to be renovated, he made an appointment to go to see the room together and discuss the design plan face-to-face.

Just after dinner, the doorbell rang.

Ye Qiu came to the door with a big lunch box, handed the lunch box to Xie Wanling and said, "Auntie, my mother made dumplings, here you have a taste."

Xie Wanling took it with a smile on her face, said a few polite words and put the lunch box in the refrigerator first.

The parents were sitting in the living room watching TV, Tang Xin and Ye Qiu came to his room.

Ye Qiu was still a little ashamed. After Tang Xin closed the door, she lowered her head and said to Tang Xin: "Tang Xin, I'm sorry these few days, I, I didn't mean it. If the results are not satisfactory, I'm afraid you will regret it."

Seeing her guilty look, Tang Xin stretched out his hand and flicked her forehead.

Damn

Ye Qiu raised his head with a cry of pain, and looked at Tang Xin puzzled.

Is this punishment?

Tang Xin said with a smile: "You never need to say sorry to me these three words, really, no need."

Ye Qiu was slightly moved, and finally couldn't say a word after thousands of words.

Sitting on the bed, Tang Xin picked up the laptop, stared at the screen and said with a smile, "As long as you return my swimming trunks and sweatpants."

His face turned red in an instant, Ye Qiu lowered his head and turned around to leave, but he turned around again, Qi Qi Ai Ai said: "Tang Xin, do you still remember what you said that day?"

Tang Xin was still looking at the computer screen, and asked, "Huh? What day?"

"It was the day you lent me my pants."

"I said a lot that day, which one are you referring to?"

"You said you wanted to give me a, a hug."

"Well, remember, you refused with a smile."

"Can it be cashed now?"

"Cash what?"

After Tang Xin finished asking, he found that Ye Qiu hadn't spoken for a long time. He raised his head and saw that her eyes were wandering, and she didn't dare to look at him. Her face was rosy. I don't know if it was because of the topic of pants, or because she said she wanted Tang Xin to honor it. matter.

Putting the laptop aside, Tang Xin stood up and walked in front of her, gently hugging her.

The slender and slender body was completely different from Xia Qingying's plump body. Tang Xin inhaled the fragrance like orchids, and he whispered sincerely beside her red ears, "Thank you."

With hot cheeks, Ye Qiu stood on tiptoe with his eyes closed, and leaned into Tang Xin's ear, whispering in a trembling voice, "You never need to say these two words to me."
