Chapter 1127: Chapter 1126: €10,000 per bottle

Wang Leshan and Wang Xiaoling couldn’t dance, so they didn’t join in the fun and just sat there watching. Neither of them could speak French, but they could speak English.

However, the guests attending the soirée were all French.

At eleven o’clock in the evening, when the soirée ended, the guests who attended were all very satisfied.

Except for some who were already drunk and needed bodyguards to escort them to their cars, some were still in high spirits.

“Dr. Ye, I want to buy a thousand cases. Remember to prepare them for me, don’t sell them off.”

Count Charley said.

Ye Qiu didn’t expect that Count Charley wanted to buy so much wine?

“How much do you think is appropriate for the price?”

“Of course, the more expensive, the more valuable.”

Count Charley laughed.

“What do you think of ten thousand Euros a bottle?”

Count Charley looked at Ye Qiu, knowing Ye Qiu wasn’t joking, and said.

“Sure, anyway, this wine is like Lafite; it’s not meant for ordinary people to drink.”

Ten thousand per bottle?

Housekeeper Eugene almost fainted.

Because he hadn’t realized that the wine he had been drinking in recent days probably cost several tens of thousands of Euros, it was like drinking liquid gold!

While sending the guests to their cars and gifting each invited guest a case of red wine, the guests were very happy, looking forward to chatting with Ye Qiu again.

After the guests boarded their cars and left, the Eastern Castle gradually became quiet, and the servants started tidying up the night’s trash.

Ye Qiu, Louise, Zhou Wenting, and the two ladies, Wang Leshan, went upstairs.

As they reached upstairs, Louise said, “Qiu, tonight you’ve become a billionaire!”

“I was already one back home.”

Of course, now he was a billionaire in Europe.

Louise, Zhou Wenting, and Wang Leshan went to rest first, and Ye Qiu returned to his room.

He knew that everything’s value depended on its rarity. Lafite was no different; if it were available everywhere in the world, it would be as cheap as ordinary red wine.

Thus, even if he had the secret brew formula, he could make red wines from other places taste as good as Viscount Red Wine. However, he knew he couldn’t have Housekeeper Eugene brew more wine elsewhere. Just this place producing a limited amount each year was enough.

If too much wine were brewed and flooded the market, it would surely lose value, not to mention the brand.

…

Ye Qiu went to the bathroom for a relaxing shower and then played on the computer for a bit after returning to his room.

Upon waking the next day, Ye Qiu opened his eyes to hear knocking at the door. When he went to see, it was the maid at the door.

Ye Qiu got up, washed up, and changed into another set of clothes.

Upon arriving downstairs at the dining room, after the middle-aged couple prepared a bountiful breakfast, Louise, Zhou Wenting, and Wang Leshan got up as well.

While Ye Qiu was having breakfast with the four women, Wang Leshan and Wang Xiaoling were soon heading back to Paris by train and then taking an Eastern Airlines flight back home from the International Airport.

Wang Leshan was somewhat reluctant, realizing that whether it was eating, drinking, or playing, she seemed to particularly enjoy being around Ye Qiu.

Even though they hadn’t spent much time together, she increasingly found this young man extraordinary.

After breakfast, Wang Leshan said, “Ye Qiu, Xiaoling and I are ready to return to Paris.”

“Then go pack your things!”

When the two ladies went to pack, Zhou Wenting, hearing they were leaving, naturally felt a little happy.

Once the two ladies had packed their clothes, the maid helped take them down.

The two ladies bid farewell to Zhou Wenting, Louise, and then got into Ye Qiu’s car.

Originally, Ye Qiu wanted Housekeeper Eugene to take the two ladies away, but unexpectedly, after last night’s wine-tasting soirée, Viscount Red Wine began to circulate rapidly within the upper-class French and European society.

This was a kind of red wine even better than the ’82 Lafite.

Therefore, early in the morning, Housekeeper Eugene was surprised to find not only winemakers wanting to talk and negotiate but also wanting to acquire batches of Viscount Red Wine to take back.

After all, with such comments from the French upper class, there was certainly no mistake.

While Housekeeper Eugene was busy hosting those winemakers, Ye Qiu drove Wang Leshan and Wang Xiaoling to the train station in the small town.

Upon arriving at the small town’s train station, Ye Qiu parked the car and helped the two ladies with their rolling suitcases, briefcases, and backpacks. After buying train tickets for the journey back to Paris’s high-speed rail station, the two ladies went in to wait for the train, while Ye Qiu didn’t stay behind.

Back in the car and driving toward Eastern Castle, Ye Qiu was surprised to see many more cars parked outside.

As soon as he parked, Housekeeper Eugene hurried over and said, “Master Ye, currently all these wine merchants are waiting to buy wine.”

“Keep a small portion and sell the rest!”

“What about Count Charley’s order?”

“Of course, keep a thousand cases for him.”

Ye Qiu said.

“However, everyone else pays in full immediately.”

Ye Qiu didn’t want them defaulting on payments.

“Master Ye, I understand.”

While Housekeeper Eugene went to handle those matters, Ye Qiu, Louise, and Zhou Wenting went outside the castle.

“Since the wine is already a hit, are you planning to brew more?”

Louise asked.

“No, rarity increases value, too much becomes worthless.”

Besides, Ye Qiu didn’t only plan to make money by selling wine.

Selling wine was for earning money and also covering costs for operating the Eastern Castle. From the current situation, it obviously sufficed and even left surplus funds, which would undoubtedly be used for investing later.

“What’s next on your agenda?”

The wine would certainly be sold out and might not be enough.

“Let’s start preparing for the perfume venture!”

Ye Qiu had already given the perfume formula to Louise.

But Louise had primarily focused on fashion, so she hadn’t yet thought about the perfume.

“Could it really be more appealing than those from Chanel?”

“Certainly.”

Ye Qiu wanted to achieve excellence.

Thus, after succeeding with Viscount Red Wine, his natural transition was to promote Prince Perfume.

As long as Prince Perfume achieved the same status as Viscount Red Wine, it would be firmly established among European high-end fashion brands.

However, perfume was different from wine and not that simple; extracting essential oils from roses, for instance, wasn’t easy.

Doing it manually was challenging.

Thus, Ye Qiu had already devised a plan.

Initially, he intended to collaborate with companies like Chanel and Dior. However, Ye Qiu realized that such partnerships would inevitably lead to leaks of his secrets, so it was better to do it independently.

“Are you planning to collaborate with other companies?”

Louise asked.
