Chapter 296: World-Class Precious Wine
Time passed by, and it was not until 3:30 in the afternoon that Li Hongxia returned to the room with two bodyguards. Holding two thick contracts in her hand, Li Hongxia smiled and said, âIâm sorry for keeping you waiting, Boss Chu, but the contract has been finalized. Please take a look. If there is no problem, we will sign according to this contract.â
âOkay.â Chu Tian took it and handed it to Song Xiaoya.
Song Xiaoya opened the contract, looked at it carefully, then looked at Chu Tian and said, âBoss, there is no problem with the contract. Both contracts are the same.â
Chu Tian nodded, looked at Li Hongxia, and said with a smile, âBoss Li, there is no problem with the contract, so letâs sign it.â
âOkay.â Li Hongxia smiled and said, âLetâs: sign together.â
Soon, after the contract was signed and fingerprints were pressed, Li Hongxia and Chu Tian each took a copy and said, âBoss Chu, how about this? Iâll treat you tonight. Letâs have a meal together.â
âEh⦠letâs do it another day.â Chu Tian smiled, âBecause I have an old friend here to meet, I finally came to the capital, and I have to eat with him in the evening.â
He was referring to meeting Song Xiaoyaâs boss, Mr. Sun. Knowing Chu Tianâs arrival, arrangements had already been made, including a black business car sent by State Security to pick him up at the airport.
âIt doesnât matter.â Li Hongxia smiled, âBoss Chuâs friend, this is my own. Letâs eat together, I invite you.â
âItâs really inconvenient.â Chu Tian said, âThat friend of mine doesnât like contact with strangers.â
âThatâs it.â Li Hongxia regretted, âThatâs fine. If Boss Chu has time in the future, we must have a meal together.â
âDefinitely,â Chu Tian said with a smile, âBoss Li, thatâs how it is. Then Iâll go first.â
âHey, wait a minute, Boss Chu.â Li Hongxia smiled, âI have prepared a small gift for you. Take it with you.â
âReally?â Chu Tian said. âWhat little gift?â
âItâs also red wine.â Li Hongxia said, âItâs my own collection. Boss Chu will come to see it with me.â
âWell.â
Since it was the red wine collected by Li Hongxia, it must be unusual, Chu Tian was not polite and directly led Song Xiaoya to follow.

Five minutes later, Li Hongxia led Chu Tian and Song Xiaoya into a room in the villa. Unlocking the electronic lock with her fingerprints, they entered the space. The room was relatively small, spanning only 40 square meters, and it held only a few items.
Li Hongxia gestured for Chu Tian to follow her and smiled as she spoke, âBoss Chu, have you heard of the eight rarest and most valuable collectible wines in the world?â
âEhâ¦â Chu Tian thought for a while and said, âIâm not quite sure about this, does Lafite in 1982 count?â
Li Hongxia shook her head with a smile and said: âThe 1982 Lafite is indeed a very good wine, but compared with the eight most precious wines in the world, itâs somewhat less interesting.â
âReally?â Chu Tian asked curiously, âBoss Li, can you give me some insight?â
Li Hongxia smiled and said: âThese eight rare wines are White Horse 1947, Lafite 1869, Screaming Eagle Cabernet Sauvignon 1992, Lafite 1787, Margot 1787, Romanee-Conti 1990, and Penfolds 1951.â
After listening to Li Hongxiaâs introduction, Chu Tian seemed to have thought of something and said with a smile: âHey, Iâve heard of Romanee Conti in 1990, that⦠appeared in the mermaid, Boss Li, is this wine really worth a million dollars a bottle?â
âItâs actually not that expensiveâ¦â Li Hongxia said, âThe price of a Romanee-Conti in 1990 is only 7 to 8 lakhs, but it is true that it is rare.â
While talking, Li Hongxia came to a wine rack and said: âI have been making red wine for more than 20 years, and until now, I have only collected three of these eight types, namely White Horse 1957. I have two cases of this wine, a total of 12 bottles, and the price of one bottle is around 1.2 million.â
âThere is also Lafite 1869. I only have two bottles of this wine. At an auction in 2010, the price of a single bottle was 1.5 million. I bought these two bottles from a collector with great difficulty. Yes, I bought it at a price of 1.9 million a bottle.â
âThe other is Romanee-Conti 1990. I also have two cases of this wine. The price of a single bottle is only one million. In fact, I really want to collect another wine, which is Romanee-Conti 1945. At that price, Itâs more expensive, more than a million dollars, but I havenât been able to find it yet.â
âWell, of my three kinds of wine, I will give half of one to Boss Chu.â
A kind of half for yourself?
Hearing what Li Hongxia said, Chu Tian couldnât help laughing and said: âBoss Li, this is a good thing. If you want to share half with me, I really want it.â
âYouâre welcome.â Li Hongxia smiled, âIt can be seen that Boss Chu is a straight forward person. Today, you take care of my business so much. I should make a small gesture in return. Looking back, I have to hurry to Fa Guo. A trip to get in touch with these good wines. Today, Mr. Chuâs visit has depleted our stock of high-end wines. I have to replenish them quickly. Otherwise, someone will ask for them later, and I will be out of stock.â
âHahahaâ¦â
