Chapter 139: Rent-seeking space

Views:

Seeing that Zhao Ting, Xu Yun and Zheng Li have become better and better friends, Fu Hua feels very embarrassed. He doesn’t know if these women will whisper to him when they are together, especially since Zheng Li once had a good impression of him. He was very afraid that Zheng Li would accidentally provoke Zhao Ting and let Zhao Ting overturn the jealousy. Zhao Ting's impulsive character was difficult to control, and Fu Hua was very afraid of being unreasonable. But he couldn't hinder the development of friendship between women, so he could only watch with worry from the side.

Fu Hua smiled and asked, "Why does she hold a red wine line? Any questions?"

Zhao Ting said with a smile, "My old Dong is celebrating his birthday. She organized a wine party to celebrate him."

Fu Hua smiled, Xu Yun put all his thoughts on Lawyer Dong, and she was naturally nervous on Lawyer Dong's birthday.

Fu Hua said: "Then I'll go back right away. By the way, since we are in the wine party, should we take a bottle of red wine?"

Zhao Ting smiled and said: "I prepared it a long time ago, and I ordered two bottles of Australia's Audinge Besila dry red from my father."

Aldinga Bay Winery is located in the McGallan Valley in the wine region of South Australia. It is only 2.5 kilometers away from the beautiful AldingaBay beach. The influence of the year-round maritime climate and the sea breeze in the summer afternoon provide a very good temperature environment for the growth of grapes. Odingo Bay is one of the largest private wineries in the McGalaran Valley. The head of the winery, Mr. Nick, is Australia’s most famous brewer and wine taster. The winery has a large area of grape plantations and breweries, and has been committed to producing Australia for a long time. Production of high-grade wines. Odinge Besilla Dry Red is one of the representatives of the New World wine. Although it is not as long as French wine, it has a good taste, and the price is not lost when you go to a party organized by Xu Jun.

Fu Hua hurried back home, rinsed briefly, changed clothes, and went to Lawyer Dong's house with Zhao Ting. After knocking on the door, Xu Yun came out to open the door, Zhao Ting handed over the red wine, and asked with a smile, "Sister Xu Yun, where is the birthday star?"

Xu Yun smiled and said, "In the living room, there are a few friends chatting there."

This is Dong Sheng also poking his head out of the living room, smiling and saying, "Zhao Ting is here."

Zhao Ting smiled and said, "Happy birthday, Lawyer Dong."

Dong Sheng didn't show a particularly happy look, but said indifferently: "What are you happy about? One year old again."

Xu Yun's face was a little embarrassed, and it seemed that the celebration she had prepared was not very satisfactory to her lover.

Fu Hua smiled and said: "I didn't expect that Lawyer Dong would care about his age so much. It is usually because women are afraid that they will be one year older. I think men will only have a taste at a certain age."

Zhao Ting also smiled and said, "Yes, a man needs to be mature to be attractive."

Hearing what Zhao Ting said, Dong Sheng had a smile on his face and said jokingly: "Really? Compared to me, do you think that Comrade Fu Hua in your family is naive?"

Zhao Ting smiled and said, "He has just become a little familiar, and I will grow him up slowly."

Fu Hua went to the living room with Zhao Ting and Xu Jun. Zheng Li and Cui Bo from the Ministry of Commerce were already present. Fu Hua smiled and nodded to Zheng Li and Cui Bo.

Cui Bo smiled and said, "Director Fu is late, really busy."

Fu Hua smiled and said, "Director Cui just likes to make a joke on me, but I have some delays."

Xu Jun put the wine brought by Fu Hua on the coffee table, and said with a smile: "Zhao Ting and Fu Hua brought Australia's Audinge Besila dry red, which is very good."

Zhao Ting saw a bottle of Lafite on the coffee table at a glance, smiled, and said, "Sister Xu Yun, compared to this bottle of Lafite, the wine we brought is really not worth mentioning. Who brought it? "

Zheng Li smiled and said: "Who else will Xu Yun love her old Dong, who bought it specially."

Xu Yun smiled and said: "It's nothing. This is Lafite that came out last year. It's still a long way from the wine king in 1982."

Zhao Ting knew the goods and said with a smile: "That's also expensive. Lafite has always been known for being expensive, and it's coming tonight."

Zheng Li smiled and said: "Don't focus on the most expensive wines. The Margaux Red Pavilion brought by Director Cui is also very good. Chateau Margaux has always been known for its elegance, charm and richness."

Cui Bo watched Zheng Li praise the wine he had brought, and said with a smile: "Miss Zheng, don't just say me, your Mouton Cabernet Sauvignon is also good, the Mouton wine label here is the most beautiful."

Fu Hua smiled and said: "Everyone is doing extraordinary things. To teach you this comparison, Zhao Ting and Odingebei are really a bit unable to do anything."

Cui Bo smiled and said: "Okay, Director Fu, don't be presumptuous. In fact, the Australian red wines you take and the French red wines we take are two styles. Yours represents fashion, represents youth and freshness, and ours It represents the classics and the traditions. In fact, what I want to taste first is this Australian red wine."

Dong Sheng smiled and said, "Then let's drive this Odingabe first."

Fu Hua knew in his heart that although Cui Bo said it nicely, in fact he still looked down on the Australian red wine they brought. If you drink one, you can’t taste the best wine first. Otherwise, once you drink a good wine, you will lose the taste after tasting the bad wine. .

In fact, Cui Bo really underestimated this Audinge Besilla dry red. This wine was given to Zhao Kai by a customer. Fu Hua and Zhao Ting have both drank it. The taste and label are not inferior to France in all aspects. The wine is just not as big as the top five wineries in France. This wine has a ruby red color, bright and transparent. Based on the sweet aroma of fruits as the main body, the aroma is rich and varied. After the sweet aroma of blackberries and cherries, the aroma of vanilla and chocolate permeates. At the same time, the spicy aroma of cinnamon is refreshing, and the taste of licorice, dried plums, toast and just the right oak is unstoppable. The wine has not been tasted yet, but its passionate and unrestrained character has infected the taster.

Dong Sheng opened a bottle of Syrah Dry Red and poured it to everyone. Zheng Li took a sip and said with some surprise: "It's really good. The entrance is round and slightly hot, and it presents a comfortable, plump, and rounded feeling in the mouth. Lasts to the aftertaste. The appropriate acidity, the balance of alcohol and acidity and tannins give it a satin-like taste. The aftertaste is long and the taste of licorice and oak lingers in the mouth. This is my first time drinking Australian red wine. I didn't think it was so good."

Zhao Ting was very happy when he heard Zheng Li praise the wine she had brought, and said with a smile: "Sister Zheng Li, you really know wine."

Dong Sheng also took a sip and said with a smile: "It's really good, I think it's better than Raphael."

Fu Hua saw Xu Jun’s face a little bit uncomfortable. He felt that Dong Sheng didn’t care about Xu Jun’s feelings when he said so, and he was very disapproved. Even if it was what Dong Sheng said, Xu Jun worked hard to organize this show for him. At the party, he was just to be considerate of Xu Jun and he should not compare Xu Jun's Lafite with the little-known Odinge Besila dry red. Fu Hua seemed to feel that Dong Sheng had deliberately belittle Xu Yun, so he smiled and said, "This wine is good because many people have not drunk it. It gives people a refreshing feeling. In fact, it is far from the top five wineries, especially There is still some distance from the Lafite Wine King."

Fu Hua was a bit roundabout, and Xu Yun's expression looked better now. Everyone ate the dishes prepared by Xu Jun for the wine, and started to taste the wine and chat.

Fu Hua remembered what Jiang Yu said that day about the possibility of foreign investment in the purchase of mainland mining companies, and asked Dong Sheng with a smile: "Attorney Dong, I accompanied Wu Yi to Hong Kong at that time. People over there said that foreign investors were afraid of buying mining companies. Due to restrictions, Wu Yi will not be stuck when he goes backdoor in Hong Kong this time, right?"

Dong Sheng smiled and said, "This is the leader of the Ministry of Commerce, you can ask him."

Cui Bo smiled and said: "If there are restrictions, apply for approval. Although this part of the country is in control, but it does not say that it is stuck with a knife, there is still room. Besides, it is good because there are restrictions."

Fu Hua was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and asked, "How come there are restrictions?"

Dong Sheng smiled and said: "If there are restrictions, some people need to operate, and only if some people need to operate, will it bring benefits to this society."

Fu Hua understood in his heart that only when there are restrictions, certain people who control these rights will have room for rent-seeking, and only room for rent-seeking can produce benefits. He looked at Cui Bo and Dong Sheng, and he knew why the two people were so close together. They played golf and had a wine party together. This is because the two of them are basically a very close partnership. . The reason why Dong Sheng is famous in the business of mergers and acquisitions is probably due to the support of Cui Bo, a powerful figure in the Ministry of Commerce.

Fu Hua smiled and did not ask any more.

Xu Yun looked at Zheng Li at this time and said with a smile: "Zheng Li, you have to hurry up."

Zheng Li smiled and said, "I'm holding on to something, I'm not thinking about it."

Xu Yun smiled and said, "You see that we are all one-on-one, and you are alone. You should hurry up and find the other half."

Fu Hua looked at which pot Xu Jun would not open or mention, fearing that he would cause trouble to his upper body.

Zheng Li didn't dare to look at Fu Hua because of Zhao Ting's presence. He smiled and punched Xu Yun, and said, "Don't worry the emperor, don't worry, there will always be some."

Xu Yun smiled and cursed: "You dare to call me a eunuch, it's really life-threatening." Then, he went to tickle Zheng Li. Zheng Li was trembling with the tickled flowers, so she hugged Xu Yun vigorously and said: "Okay, okay, I'm afraid of you."

Xu Yun stopped then, Zheng Li smiled and asked, "Don't just care about me. You have been with your old Dong for a while. When will you invite us to have wedding candy?"

Xu Yun heard this and said with a smile: "It depends on when our old Dong wants to marry me."

Zheng Li turned her head and smiled and asked Dong Sheng: "Lawyer Dong, when do you plan to marry our sister Xu Yun?"

Dong Sheng was stunned for a moment, and then said, "We are almost drinking Aldinger Bay. What are you going to drink for the next bottle?"
