Inheritance of Two Trillion

Chapter 2572: Chapter 1877: Connoisseur of Wine

Alger’s words to Bai Xiaosheng in public were quite impolite, even rude, but there was an underlying reason for his behavior.

Actually, as soon as they met, Alger felt a bit of ”rejection” towards Bai Xiaosheng and felt ”jealous” seeing him surrounded by the most beautiful women in the room.

But even so, Alger did not intend to embarrass Bai Xiaosheng with his words in front of everyone.

Alger has always expressed himself this way, and coupled with the fact that his wine is indeed extremely difficult to obtain, it’s natural for him to brag.

Moreover, he wanted to attract the attention of the guests around, especially those beautiful women.

However, by doing so, Alger’s words and actions were sharp and directly targeted at Bai Xiaosheng.

Bai Xiaosheng is not without a temper, but most of the time he’s too lazy to argue with others. This time, however, he genuinely disliked Alger. It may have been due to incompatible vibes, or perhaps he found Alger’s demeanor disagreeable. The main point is, in this setting, he couldn’t let anyone act arrogantly towards him.

Therefore, Bai Xiaosheng did not intend to be polite to Alger.

When Alger said he would ”serve wine” to Bai Xiaosheng, his old butler hesitated slightly before reaching for a bottle from the second last row.

Alger observed this and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

That bottle is indeed an excellent wine, costing over two hundred thousand US dollars!

Moreover, it was a market-limited item, the second most expensive of the wines Alger brought this time.

The old butler used a piece of snow-white lambskin to cover it, so as not to let the warmth of his hand affect the wine’s temperature.

In fact, the seemingly ordinary cart they pushed up was also a ”high-tech” product, able to maintain the wine’s constant temperature, unaffected by room temperature.

Next to the old butler, one of Alger’s subordinates stepped forward, holding a crystal-clear crystal cup in both hands.

This was also a custom cup, truly an exquisite crystal product, worth tens of thousands for a set. If one breaks, the whole set would be ruined.

The old butler had a solemn expression, his demeanor radiating seriousness. He carefully poured the wine, as if afraid of spilling a drop.

This wine was brought by Alger, a person surpassing royal nobles, and coupled with the old butler’s demeanor, the atmosphere instantly influenced those around.

The surrounding guests immediately held their breath and focused, their eyes fixated on the beautiful amber liquid flowing into the crystal-clear cup, gently swirling inside.

The whole venue was enveloped in a mysterious sense of sanctity.

In such a setting, Alger proudly said, ”Everyone knows Europe is one of the most renowned origins of wine, with thousands of wineries. Some large wineries hold secret unique formulas and craftsmanship for their wines.”

”The wine I brought is also from Europe. However, it wasn’t born at an ancient winery, but from a family of winemakers, and it’s a wine many owners of large wineries admire.”

”This wine is produced every three years, with a total of five hundred bottles. Of them, one hundred are kept sealed for a hundred years, one hundred are exclusively for grand master tasting events, and one hundred are said to be sent to the holders of the original formula. Only the last two hundred bottles are sold to royal families, national heads, and super rich families in over a hundred countries worldwide.”

”Listening to this, everyone should know its value, right? Even I only own three bottles, and I have to wait another three years to have the chance to purchase again!”

Alger’s words made everyone present gasp, secretly amazed.

This level of fine wine is simply unheard of.

Dong Tianlu, Lu Tiandao, and the others observed this, whispering among themselves.

”I’ve heard of this rumor, but I’m not fond of wine, so I didn’t delve into it.”

”I know about this too, but it’s impossible to get. I didn’t expect to see it here.”

Members of the Huaxia Business Group were equally astonished when they heard the leading businessmen say this, and they discussed it among themselves.

Yang Xiaoyun, being the second-in-command of the Yang Family Clan, naturally had heard of this and even knew Yang Family’s patriarch had two bottles stored. So she merely blinked her eyes, not surprised.

Gathered around Bai Xiaosheng and Alger, many were eyeing the crystal cup held in Alger’s subordinate’s hands, gazing longingly at the half-finger width of the exquisite amber wine.

”I didn’t expect such an intriguing origin for this wine. It’s really refreshing, yet hard to believe!”

”Seeing it this way, it doesn’t seem expensive...”

”This is not about the monetary value anymore; it’s a reflection of identity and status, something money can’t buy!”

”I really want to taste it, even just a sip, to see what makes this wine so good!”

The crowd murmured and praised it.

Alger listened to the voices of the crowd with pride in his smile. This is the power of the heir of a large consortium: he can own three bottles of such rare wine!

Alger looked at Bai Xiaosheng, convinced that the wine would make Bai Xiaosheng feel a new appreciation for his extraordinary nobility!

Even earlier, the reason Alger started by boasting and seemed to ”look down” on the other party was to create a ”surprising” effect by revealing the weight and aura of this wine.

Imagine, if he gifted such precious wine to Bai Xiaosheng, wouldn’t the latter not only forgive past grievances but also be immensely grateful?

Then, ”what follows next” would be much easier to discuss.

There was indeed a hint of surprise on Bai Xiaosheng’s face, and he even exchanged glances with Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying beside him.

They were equally astonished.
