There would be serious consequences if Boss Cao got angry!
Thomas Song and his wife looked at Noah Chen with schadenfreude. Noah Chen dared to say that Boss Cao's top-quality red wine was fake. Wasn't this a slap in Boss Cao's face?
If Noah Chen couldn't prove that this bottle of wine was fake tonight, some of Boss Cao's bodyguards might hold Noah Chen down and force him to swallow the entire bottle.
When Pauline Song saw Kent Cao being furious, she also became anxious.
It would be a small matter if she failed to attract investment tonight, but it would be a big deal if she offended Kent Cao and Noah Chen was retaliated against by Kent Cao.
She quickly stood up, pulled Noah Chen, and apologized: "Boss Cao, my husband rarely drinks red wine. He doesn't have a high level of wine tasting. I'll apologize on his behalf for saying the wrong thing, okay?"
Noah Chen said calmly: "Honey, there is no need to apologize to him, although I prefer our Chinese white wine to red wine. But I can tell whether his Roman-Conti is real or fake."
When Noah Chen said this, he looked at Kent Cao and said coldly: "It's a good thing that you want to invest in our project, but I think you are a drunkard who has no good taste in drinking. You just looked down on me, and you took out such a bottle of fake wine to fool everyone.”
Kent Cao said angrily: "You keep saying this is fake wine. If I can prove that this bottle of wine is real, what will you do?"
Noah Chen said calmly: "If you can prove it is true, you have the final say."
Kent Cao sneered: "Okay, if I prove that this bottle of wine is real, you will have to eat this bottle. If you don't eat it, I will ask my men to force you to eat it."
The corners of Noah Chen's mouth raised slightly: "What if it turns out that this bottle of wine is fake?"
A hint of panic flashed deep in Kent Cao's eyes, but it disappeared in an instant. He raised his head and said loudly: "If it is fake, I will let you deal with it."
Noah Chen said with a smile: "Okay, if it turns out that this bottle is fake, I don't need you to swallow the bottle, just use this bottle to smash your pig's head."
Thomas Song and his wife didn't think it was too big a deal to watch the argument, and laughed and said that they could be the notaries.
Pauline Song didn't expect that Noah Chen and Kent Cao would actually compete with each other and even bet on the spot.
She wanted to stop it now, but it was too late.
She was so anxious that she held Noah Chen's hand nervously and whispered anxiously: "Noah Chen, who is Boss Cao? How could his wine be fake? Why do you have to be angry with him? What will you do if you lose?" "
Noah Chen said calmly: "Whether he has money or not has nothing to do with whether this bottle of wine is fake. This bottle is fake, and we will not lose."
When Kent Cao heard Noah Chen's words, he sneered and said: "You don't know the reality, I will convince you to lose tonight."
After he finished speaking, he ordered one of his subordinates: "You, immediately call the chief sommelier of the hotel and personally identify whether my bottle of Roman-Conti is genuine or fake."
The subordinate said respectfully: "Yes, boss!"
Not long after, Kent Cao's men called Lance Zhai, the chief sommelier of Junan Hotel.
Junan Hotel was one of the most famous five-star hotels in Zhonghai. Lance Zhai was also a well-known wine appraiser in Zhonghai's red wine culture circle, and was also the chief wine appraiser of Junan Hotel.
When Kent Cao saw Lance Zhai, he immediately waved and said: "Expert Zhai, you are here at the right time. Some people say that this bottle of top-quality Roman-Conti that I brought is a fake wine. Come and taste it right now and prove to everyone that this wine is genuine or fake”
Lance Zhai came over quickly, shook hands with Kent Cao in a flattering manner, and then said with a smile: "Top Roman-Conti, the best red wine in the world. I will taste it carefully and determine the authenticity carefully."
At this time, Maya Ge had already picked up the decanter and poured a small glass of red wine. She came over and handed the red wine to Lance Zhai.
She smiled and said: "I have watched Mr. Zhai's red wine tasting lecture on TV. Mr. Zhai has a profound research on red wine and is knowledgeable. I admire you very much. This time, we can witness Mr. Zhai taste red wine with our own eyes, it is really an honor for us."
Lance Zhai took the wine glass proudly and said with a reserved smile: "You are flattering me."
Kent Cao urged: "Expert Zhai, hurry up and taste it. I want to convince that idiot."
Lance Zhai nodded, then he slightly shook the wine glass twice to slosh the red wine in the glass to sober up the wine.
Then he closed his eyes, put the wine glass under his nose, gently sniffed the aroma of the wine, and instantly showed an intoxicated expression.
Then, he took a sip of red wine, and then showed an extremely intoxicated expression as if he was drinking fairy wine.
He opened his eyes and affirmed excitedly: "It's this unparalleled taste. This is 100% 90s Roman-Conti red wine. It's absolutely unmistakable."
After Lance Zhai finished speaking, Pauline Song, who had always had a worried face, instantly turned pale.
Thomas Song picked up the red wine bottle from the edge of the table. It was indeed written in French that it was produced in 1990. He was pleasantly surprised and said: "Oh my god, expert Zhai tasted it accurately. It is indeed the top quality Roman-Conti red wine from the 1990 vintage."
Maya Ge said with a smile: "So, this bottle of wine is genuine. Noah Chen, you lose."
Kent Cao and others looked at Noah Chen. Kent Cao looked at Noah Chen and said with a sneer: "You lost. Will you eat this bottle yourself now, or will you let some of my bodyguards help you?"
Pauline Song was very anxious. She just wanted to plead with Kent Cao, but Noah Chen said with a smile: "Did I lose?"
Kent Cao face darkened: "An expert has confirmed on the spot that this is real wine. If you don't admit you lose, hehe, are you planning to cheat?"
Noah Chen looked at Lance Zhai mockingly and said, "As a so-called expert, you took a sip of wine and showed a relieved expression as if your constipation was relieved. Then you said that the wine is real, does that mean it is real?"
When Lance Zhai heard what Noah Chen said, he became furious: "Ignorant boy, how dare you question my ability to appreciate wine!"
Kent Cao also said coldly: "Boy, it seems that you are really planning to cheat. Someone, help him swallow this bottle of wine!"
As soon as Kent Cao finished speaking, the door of the room was suddenly pushed open.
A group of people filed in. The leader was a fat old man wearing a retro Tang suit. His face was red and he was holding a bottle of red wine tightly in his hand. He looked around when he came in and asked excitedly: "Mr. Chen, who is Mr. Chen?"
When Kent Cao saw the red-faced old man, he blurted out in shock: "Ah, the richest man in Zhonghai, Joseph Xiao, Mr. Xiao!"
Joseph Xiao: "Kent Cao, you are here too!"
Although Kent Cao was a well-known rich man in Zhonghai, his worth, qualifications, and connections were far inferior to Joseph Xiao.
He said with a flattering smile: "Yes, Mr. Xiao, why are you here?"
Before Joseph Xiao could speak, a man with a broad face beside him had already spoken loudly and forcefully: "Mr. Xiao and I were entrusted by someone to deliver wine to Noah Chen."
Kent Cao was surprised again when he saw this man with a broad face.
This man with a broad face was none other than Joe Zhao, Director Zhao, the head of China Food and Drug Administration.
Kent Cao looked at Mr. Xiao and Director Zhao with shock on his face, and said in amusement, "Are you here to deliver wine to Noah Chen?"
Everyone else in the room was also very shocked.
Mr. Xiao, the richest man in Zhonghai, worth hundreds of billions yuan, and Mr. Zhao from the Food and Drug Administration.
They even delivered wine to Noah Chen personally. How proud was Noah Chen?
Mr. Xiao said: "Yes, we are here to deliver wine to Mr. Chen. Where is Mr. Chen?"
Noah Chen smiled and said, "I am Noah Chen."
Mr. Xiao, Joe Zhao and others immediately rushed to Noah Chen, handed the red wine to Noah Chen like a treasure, and said with a flattering smile: "Mr. Chen, I heard that you want to drink a good Romain-Conti. I immediately brought you this bottle of 90s Roman-Conti red wine that I treasured."
Joseph Xiao and Joe Zhao suddenly received a call. A commander named Dylan asked them to send a bottle of Roman-Conti red wine to Mr. Chen here.
Joseph Xiao and Joe Zhao heard that the commander named Dylan was the guard captain under the Northern Army Marshal and a confidant of the Marshal.
Therefore, they didn't dare to neglect at all and rushed over immediately.
Noah Chen casually picked up the red wine Joseph Xiao handed him, looked at it twice, and then smiled and said: "Mr. Xiao, Director Zhao, you are here just in time. Kent Cao just brought a bottle of Roman-Conti red wine to show off in front of me. You two, please see if his bottle of Conti red wine is genuine or fake.”
When Noah Chen said these words, Kent Cao's expression changed.
Joseph Xiao frowned when he heard this and said: "In 1990, Conti only produced a total of 7440 bottles. Now more than thirty years have passed, and the remaining ones are already rare. My hobby is to collect various top-quality red wines. If Zhonghai has a second bottle of genuine 90s Conti red wine, it must be in my wine cellar. I can conclude that his bottle of wine must be fake without even looking."
Noah Chen smiled lightly and said: "No, I have a bet with Boss Cao. You two should give it a serious appraisal."
Joseph Xiao and Joe Zhao appraised Kent Cao's bottle of red wine on the spot.
Joseph Xiao was the richest man in Zhonghai. Most of Zhonghai's top red wines were in his family's wine cellar. No one dared to doubt his ability to appreciate the authenticity of red wines.
Joe Zhao was from the Food and Drug Administration. He came from the grassroots level. He had been responsible for counterfeit medicines and wine for decades, and he had also developed a sharp eye for examining food.
The two of them soon obtained the identification results. Joseph Xiao glared at Kent Cao and Lance Zhai and said coldly: "You two, how dare you say that this bottle is genuine?"
Lance Zhai was trembling, and he said in a trembling voice: "Mr. Xiao, when Boss Cao's men found me, they asked me to say this in private. He gave me 30,000 yuan as a favor and asked me to say that the fake wine was genuine, I know I was wrong.”
Kent Cao's expression became even more complicated. He was disgraced.
He looked at Noah Chen in amazement and said bitterly: "Good boy, I underestimated you, you can actually ask Mr. Xiao and Director Zhao to escort you. Okay, I will admit defeat tonight, I shall see you another day.”
After Kent Cao finished speaking, he wanted to leave with his men in despair.
But Noah Chen stopped him coldly: "Wait a minute, now it is confirmed that your bottle of wine is fake. You lost and you want to leave like this?"
Just as Kent Cao was about to speak, Noah Chen suddenly picked up the bottle of fake red wine and hit Kent Cao on the head like lightning.
With a bang sound, the red wine bottle shattered, causing Kent Cao's head and face to be covered with blood.
Noah Chen threw away half of the remaining wine bottle in his hand and said coldly: "This is a little lesson for you. Don't try to trick my wife again in the future, otherwise you will die miserably."
