Chapter 172: Speechless
"No need!" Song Xiaodong chuckled and said, "Do you really think it’s still easy to buy ’82 Lafite now?"
"Why not? This hotel has it." Chu Jianyang said proudly, "Perhaps ordinary people can’t buy it, nor afford it, but for us, it’s a trivial matter."
Song Xiaodong’s smile remained as he said, "The quality of the grapes from Lafite Winery in that year was indeed the best in history. So let me ask President Chu, how much ’82 Lafite can you drink in a year?"
Chu Jianyang said boastfully, "I drink a few bottles every month, at the very least I drink about twenty bottles a year."
"President Chu indeed has vast wealth. Being able to drink twenty bottles a year, I would like to ask you, in our city, how many people are there like President Chu who enjoy ’82 Lafite?"
Chu Jianyang replied irritably, "Who knows? Does anyone even research this? Besides, can just anyone afford it?"
"You make a very good point. Let me estimate, in our city, if ten people enjoy drinking Lafite and they consume two hundred bottles a year, that shouldn’t be a problem, right?"
"Of course, that’s no problem."
"Good, so our city can consume two hundred bottles, our province can consume at least two thousand bottles a year, and our country can consume sixty thousand bottles a year. I haven’t calculated that wrong, have I?"
"That... is correct." Chu Jianyang felt like he was being led by the nose by Song Xiaodong, but he couldn’t find a point to retort.
