"Come on, try this." Zhang Cheng, who came out of the kitchen, took a basin of ice, which contained two bottles of iced red wine. This is one of the miracles that the church calls "Holy Blood" and one of the direct and powerful evidence that Zhang Cheng was considered by the Holy Church as the reincarnation of the Messiah.

Why is it a miracle? Because since Jesus said that wine is my blood, the clergy in the church has been growing grapes and making wine for two thousand years, but it has never made such a good red wine. Not to mention that this is the new wine of the year. If it were stored in oak barrels for a few years, the taste would be even more mellow.

Ye Zi suffocated half a cup in one sip, then tilted the remaining half cup and drank it. After a while, he waited for his body and spirit to calm down before holding up the empty cup and said, "It tastes so good. I want it even if I want it, cousin."

After finishing the drink by himself, my aunt poured another cup: "You drink less and don't get drunk."

Leaf: "This wine is not intoxicating."

My aunt drank another glass: "Be careful that foreign wine has a lot of momentum. This wine is not cheap."

Zhang Cheng: "The best red wine in the world is now exclusively for the Vatican."

Now Zhang Cheng’s red wine is no longer necessary to go to the traditional new wine press conference to find some red wine tasters to talk about the characteristics of the new wine - this is the best way to make a name for the new wine on the market. Since the winery’s red wine was defined as Holy Blood, the Vatican is preparing to underwrite it. It’s enough to say that the money is priced. As one of the world’s largest rich people, the Vatican is not short of money.

Think about the rich people who started selling oil for only a few decades, but the church collected tithes taxes in Europe for more than a thousand years. However, the Holy See's finances are confidential. Even Zhang Cheng, who has read the Vatican account books, can only roughly estimate the church's property - many of them are real estate, investment, gold, and cash, although there are a lot of them, they are still a minority.

This year, the Vatican has only taken twenty barrels of red wine to prepare for the religious celebration before the New Year. According to the agreement between the two parties, the Vatican will pay $6 million for the twenty barrels of red wine. According to the calculation of 300 bottles of 225 liters of red wine, the price of each bottle of red wine sold to the Vatican is $1,000.

This may be the most expensive new red wine in the world, but it is by no means the most expensive red wine. What Zhang Cheng knows is that the 1982 Lafite, which is only sought after in the Chinese market, costs more than 10,000 US dollars per bottle. The real Lafite in 1982 was probably drunk long ago, because 1982 was a year when Lafite production was not high (about 220,000 bottles), but the Chinese rich man gave it too much and consumed hundreds of thousands of bottles of 1982 Lafite red wine every year.

The problem arises. Lafite, which has been consumed continuously for more than ten years, is still seen at various auctions. Those that are drunk and those that appear at auctions must be fake. But it doesn’t matter, because the real rich man doesn’t care about the authenticity and taste, but only cares whether there is an appraisal and whether the price is the highest red wine.

Zhang Cheng's quota to the Vatican Church is only a few dozen barrels a year. This is because Zhang Cheng wants to stock up on red wine. Now only his own winery has this "holy blood" red wine. After a long time, his reputation will slowly spread. Didn't the Chinese say it earlier? Good wine is not afraid of deep alleys.

After the reputation is made, Zhang Cheng wants his red wine to surpass Lafite in the Chinese market - and Zhang Cheng's red wine cannot be copied. After drinking the real one at least once, you can feel the fake one immediately - and only senior wine lovers and professional wine tasters can distinguish fake ones.

Why open up the Chinese market? Because the largest Chinese market has the greatest potential in the red wine sector, and it is also the largest and best economic growth point in the world. The economic scale and growth are also far ahead among the BRICS countries.

As the RMB appreciates and its purchasing power abroad increases, a large number of Chinese people who travel abroad like to buy something to give to their relatives and friends - a large part of them even buy it for others. This level of luxury is just like what Zhang Cheng’s friends often say: “Chinese people are really rich.”

Just like Matteo Ricci said after entering China to learn about China: "This is not a country, this is a world."

Because only China in the world can be self-sufficient in a state of being closed to the country, foreigners can't stand this first. So in the late Qing Dynasty, the British came with strong ships, powerful guns and the five-port trade treaty. In the 1970s, Americans came with table tennis and Chinese food advance teams.

Ye Zi: "Cousin, isn't it just the Pope, the Bishop who can drink it?"

Zhang Cheng: "Not all, those devout believers in religious rituals can also drink it. You can only buy it if I have some connections with you."

Well, there are some relationships, and this relationship is stronger than anyone else - wholly-owned holding.

Americans like to control risks and interests and share them with all their interests (it sounds familiar). Many wineries and vineyards have a few dozen or even dozens of shareholders. The real wealthy Americans have long used internal share replacement to complete the great Internaxonal within the wealthy family.

As for the Chinese tradition, if you have the conditions, you will still eat alone and become fat.

Zhang Cheng said, drinking all the red wine in his glass, feeling the mellowness and vitality of the red wine to cleanse the body, Zhang Cheng thought: Bordeaux, Napa Valley, sooner or later, you will bow your head and surrender.

Seeing the owner eating and drinking, the little white tiger in Ye Zi's arms started to scream. The little white tiger that was not as big as a cat before was as big as a cat. If you don't pay attention, you really think it's a cat.

Now, the little white tiger, who is more than three months old, has grown to the size of a pet dog. He still drinks milk every day to replenish moisture and calcium, and has already started to eat some staple foods.

Because Ye Zi could feed the baby white tiger with various foods, Zhang Cheng and his aunt realized that tigers had to eat meat. Of course, meat is definitely my favorite, but the little tiger also likes to eat pasta and rice with broth, so they eat fruits, and occasionally open large canned pets. This tiger was raised by my cousin by feeding Chinese pastoral dogs.

Seeing that the baby was a little greedy, Ye Zi gave the little half of the red wine left in his cup to the little tiger. After adding a few sips to the cup, the little tiger then looked at his mother and screamed.

Ye Zi put down the cup, held the baby and kissed it a few times and said, "Okay, baby, be good, open a can for you. If you drink it again, you will be drunk."

The little tiger screamed twice, but I don’t know if he understood and buried his head in Ye Zi’s chest.

Jesse said enviously: "They have a good relationship."

My aunt said in English: "Because he is our family."
