Collection of Gods

Chapter 75
A few minutes later, Xiao Yayue took the completed bidding number plate and the auction house staff back to Tang Yuan.

"Mr. Tang, your bidding number plate is No. 566. Now we can enter the venue and take a seat." Xiao Yayue gestured to Tang Yuan.

Tang Yuan heard this and said with a smile: "Take five and six, this number is not bad."

"It's really good, it's just a coincidence."

Xiao Yayue responded with a smile.

The two chatted for a while and then asked the venue staff to lead them to their seats without stopping too much at the entrance of the venue.

Their position is a little to the left of the middle area, facing the auction table. They have a wide field of vision and are neither forward nor backward. The position is just right.

The seats in the central VIP seats are all independent single sofa chairs. There is a smaller round table in the middle of each seat. There are many candies and snacks on it, and there is also a drink list that can provide guests with paid drinks. Beverage service.

The four of Tang Yuan sat down one after another, with Tang Yuan sitting in the middle, Wen Muxue on the left, Xiao Yayue on the right, and Xiong Kai, the bodyguard, sat on Xiao Yayue's right.

"garrulous……"

"This is the auction catalog for the World Famous Wines and Treasures auction. If you are interested, you can take a look. As for the auction catalog for the next auction of ancient Chinese jades, the on-site staff will send it to us before the next auction begins."

After Xiao Yayue sat down, she handed the auction catalog and the bidding number plate to Tang Yuan.

After Tang Yuan took the things over, he suddenly seemed to remember something: "Eh? I remember that there is a wine cellar specifically for storing wine in the basement of the single-family villa No. 29, Gubei No. [-]?"

"Yes." Xiao Yayue responded with a smile: "It is nearly 100 square meters. It has a constant-temperature wine cabinet specially designed to store red wine, as well as display cabinets suitable for storing foreign wine and white wine. It is very spacious inside."

Tang Yuan nodded slightly, and then asked: "How is the cleaning of the villa going? Is there any progress on the housekeeper team I asked you to find for me?"

"So far, the entire villa has undergone a round of land reclamation and a round of fine cleaning. According to your instructions, the relevant daily necessities and daily necessities have been fully equipped. You can move in at any time after you return from the port city. "

"As for the butler team, before noon tomorrow, I will provide you with four different configurations of butler team plans for you to choose from. It is expected that your butler team will officially be stationed in your villa by October 10 at the latest. Work."

Facing Tang Yuan's inquiries, Xiao Yayue replied one by one.

Tang Yuan nodded again, looked at the auction table in front, and murmured to himself: "Now that you can move in, it means that the wine cellar under the villa can be put to use..."

Thinking of this, Tang Yuan became interested and immediately opened the auction catalog in his hand.

Wine, spirits, red wine...

All of them are world-class famous wines, and any bottle of them will cost no less than tens of thousands of yuan. And for those famous wines that are older, the price is even higher. It will definitely attract ordinary people and even the middle class after seeing them. , the price will be jaw-dropping.

According to the information in the auction catalogue, the start time of the world-famous wine auction is three o'clock in the afternoon. It is now halfway through the auction and it is the climax moment when blockbuster lots are being presented to the bidding table one after another.

"Dear guests, next is Lot No. 46 of this auction."

"Karuizawa 1963 single barrel single malt whiskey, starting price is HKD 200!"

As the previous lot was successfully sold, the next lot was brought up by the venue staff. Along with the impassioned voice of the auctioneer, the large LED screen located behind the auctioneer began to scroll and play this item. Actual pictures of the lot.

"21 million!"

"23 million!"

"24 million!"

...When the bidding started, the sound of bidding quickly erupted one after another.

Wen Muxue, who had been watching the auction with great interest since she sat down, couldn't help but secretly sighed when she saw that the starting price of a bottle of wine was 20 and there were so many people competing for it.

She originally thought that the bottle of red wine they drank last night, which cost nearly 5 yuan, was already the top of the wine list. However, compared with the whiskey in front of her, the other party was somewhat dwarfed.

"Why is this wine so expensive?"

Wen Muxue leaned to the side and asked Tang Yuan in a low voice.

"In the world's secondary whiskey market, Japanese whiskey is the most valuable type of whiskey, and the Karuizawa whiskey currently being auctioned is the undisputed king among Japanese whiskeys."

"This Karuizawa whiskey was barreled in 1963 and bottled in 2014. There are only 131 bottles of Karuizawa whiskey in the world. It is worthy of the current price."

Tang Yuan was interested in Wen Muxue, so he combined the information he had learned from the past with the information in the auction catalog, and after comprehensive analysis, told Wen Muxue.

“Isn’t Ireland the birthplace of whiskey?”

“Why is Japan’s whiskey the most valuable type of investment?”

Hearing this, Wen Muxue looked a little confused.

"There is a saying that things are rare and valuable." Tang Yuan smiled. He had always been very patient with his women: "At the end of the 20th century, Japan lacked interest in Japanese power, and soju and sake dominated the beverage market. , leaving little room for Riwei to survive, so much so that many famous Japanese wineries in Japan fell into the darkness before dawn at the beginning of the 21st century."

“However, just after many Rivi distilleries closed down, Rivi’s representative brand Yamazaki and Hibiki began to win awards frequently in spirits competitions around the world, making Rivi more and more popular around the world, and countless drink lovers began to compete. Buy and collect Riwei.”

"Since many Riwei distilleries have closed down at this time, there is no source of new wine, which means that the remaining Riwei on the market have all become rare and orphan products. So far, Riwei's dominance in the secondary whiskey market around the world has Prices began to skyrocket and continue to hit new highs to this day.”

Commodity prices are always determined by market supply and demand.

When supply exceeds demand, commodity prices will decrease; when supply is less than demand, commodity prices will rise; and when supply is cut off and demand continues to increase, commodities become luxuries or even collectibles. Taste.

"Wow!"

"You are really amazing!"

"You know so much, I've never heard of this before."

After hearing Tang Yuan's answer, Wen Muxue looked at Tang Yuan's beautiful eyes and praised her sincerely.

"Um……"

"I am indeed very powerful, and I do know a lot of knowledge."

"Didn't I already admit it at noon?"

Faced with Wen Muxue's compliment, Tang Yuan raised his eyebrows slightly and responded with a half-smile.

When Wen Muxue saw the smile on Tang Yuan's face, and combined with what Tang Yuan said, she immediately realized that Tang Yuan was teasing her again, which made her blush. She glared at Tang Yuan with her beautiful eyes. Far.

Tang Yuan looked at Wen Muxue's charming appearance, and the smile on his face became brighter.

While the two were talking, the price of the bottle of 1963 Young Izawa whiskey on the auction table had risen to HK$38.7...
