Chapter 374 (2/2)
Having said it, he took a bottle of Gods Nectar, and then said to his granddaughter, “Little Ying, take out my wine glass.”
“Okay!”
The 17 or 18 years old girl carefully took out a four-angle crystal cup from the bag and handed it over to the old man.
The old man opened the bottle, poured the liquor into the four-angle crystal cup until it was half full. He immediately looked astonished as his eyes stared wide.
“This mellow fragrance is intoxicating. Though this old man have yet to taste it, this wine commands me to do so.”
He took a deep breath and then gently sipped a mouthful. A few seconds later, his expression turned stunned, followed by redness coloring his old face with an intense shocked expression at the same time. While Kang Xia and Su Quan smiled, the old man slowly closed his eyes.
“Hey, Grandpa, don’t keep me guessing. How’s the wine?”
The girl pulled the old man’s sleeves, a dissatisfied expression hanging on her small, delicate face.
The old man opened his eyes instantly and couldn’t bear to exclaim in praise, “Good wine, great wine! This old man drank many good wines in his life, yet there’s only one wine that can be compared to this one.”
“Uncle, are you not kidding me?” Su Quan grinned ear to ear and said, “I have drunk a lot of wines, but not even one of them tasted better than this one.”
“More than 40 years ago I went to Shennongjia and found a group of monkeys there. Have you heard about Monkey Wine? It’s a pity that I was only lucky enough to drink a few mouthfuls of it since those monkeys attacked me, so I had to flee to the wilderness. The taste of that Monkey Wine is something I can never forget. Thus, I didn’t expect to there really exist such a great wine besides Monkey Wine in this world.”
Su Quan suddenly understood and then said with a smile, “I heard about Monkey Wine, but I have never drank it. Uncle, since you liked our Gods Nectar, you must help us publicize it.”
“Worry not, young man!” The old man laughed and said, “This old man will keep his word. Anyhow, can I order a few bottles in advance? The price will be according to your tag.”
“Thank you for the patronage, Uncle.” Kang Xia lightly smiled and said, “However, we can’t do a private sell. If you like it, you can buy them in our store. We’ll deliver it to our exclusive stores in various cities after the conference.”
“Your company opened your own exclusive stores?” The old man asked in astonishment.
“That’s right.” Kang Xia replied with a smile.
“Impressive!” The old man raised his thumb and exclaimed in praise, “Nowadays, breweries send their produced wines to the wholesalers. Thus, the latter monopolize it in every part of the country. But you actually invested to hold the monopoly and sell it directly to the customers. It’s great!”
“Well, it was Boss’ request.” Kang Xia smiled and said, “We can only follow his instructions.”
“And your Boss is?” The old man nodded.
“I’m sorry, Uncle. Our Boss seldom intervenes in company issues.” Kang Xia said, “He’s also the type of person who doesn’t like to show his face in public. Hence, we can’t announce his information to the public as well. Perhaps, the elderly would have a chance to know him in the future.”
The old man couldn’t help laughing, “From the looks of it, your boss must be a great person. Anyways, how about we discuss something else? I like this wine very much. Since we met here, can you sell it to me in advance? I don’t need too many of it, though. It will be fine if you sell me ten boxes. I’ll buy the wine later in your shop after I have finished it.”
“This…” Kang Xia hesitated.
The old man took a business card from his pocket and handed it to Kang Xia, “Little girl, this is my business card.”
After receiving it, Kang Xiu’s eyes swept over the card as her expression immediately changed.
“You’re the owner of the Weide Group, elderly Du Kun?”
“I never thought you would actually recognize me.” Du Kun said with a smile, ”It seems that I am the same as your Magnificent Tang Corp’s Boss who hardly appears on stage, don’t you think?”
Kang Xia then took out a business card and handed it to Du Kun, saying, “Elderly Du, we actually met before.”
Du Kun stared blankly. As he took Kang Xia’s business card, his brows furrowed. He thought for a long time, and then said in puzzlement, “Kang Xia? This name I know as being the world’s most famous gold manager. Don’t tell me you’re…”
“There being no mistakes, that should be me.” Kang Xia said with a smile, “I dare not accept being called the world’s most famous gold manager, however.”
Du Kun’s expression changed. He looked deeply at Kang Xia and curiously said, “I still remember inviting you to be the CEO of our Weide Group, yet you refused.”
“Well, I had just resigned from my previous company.” Kang Xia said with a smile, “It’s been so many years, so I just wanted to have a good rest.”
After finally recognizing Kang Xia’s identity, respect appeared on Du Kun’s face. He then nodded and sighed, “I never thought that the Magnificent Tang Corp’s Boss would actually be able to get you. His luck is truly good!”
“Elderly Du, since you want to buy our wine, then I’ll take the responsibility to sell ten boxes to you.” Kang Xia laughed, “Only, we didn’t bring more aside from these four bottles, so I’m afraid you need to send someone to Star City.”
Du Kun said with a smile, “No problem.”
