Twenty million!
Silence fell once again at the scene!
Everyone who heard it was stunned; they all wondered if they had misheard!
It was foreman Zhang who reacted first. He looked at Lin Yun and sneered, "You meant two thousand yuan, right? I thought it was worth more!"
"Here's two thousand yuan, take it and go eat your meal!" He took out two thousand yuan from his pocket, slammed it on the table next to him, and said disdainfully.
A vegetable seller is just a vegetable seller. Two thousand yuan for a bottle of wine—no, that's double the price. The original price of this wine should only be one thousand yuan. He treasures a bottle of wine worth one thousand yuan so much that he doesn't care about offending Secretary Zhu and his entourage. He has no sense of propriety and no ambition. He deserves to sell vegetables for the rest of his life.
Foreman Zhang sneered inwardly.
"call--"
"That's right, the young man must have misspoke. He should have said two thousand yuan!"
"Hmm, twenty million? How could there be such expensive wine? You gave me quite a shock!"
"Seriously, a bottle of wine that costs two thousand yuan isn't bad!"
"A bottle of wine that costs two thousand yuan is not bad, but to offend Secretary Zhu and his entourage for such a bottle of wine, tsk tsk, I really don't know if this young man is smart or stupid..."
Some people breathed a sigh of relief and nodded, then said it as a matter of course, with some of them even looking at Lin Yun with a mocking expression.
These people were not officials working for Secretary Zhu, but rather people eating around him. The commotion had already attracted the attention of many people nearby, and they were happy to watch the excitement.
"Young man, we've already given you the two thousand yuan, so please don't bother us while we're eating."
An official standing next to Secretary Zhu said calmly.
"Xiao Zhang, don't worry too much about this. You meant well, but you didn't expect some people to react so strongly. We'll give you the two thousand yuan later." Then, the official looked at Zhang, the foreman, and said.
“That’s right, Xiao Zhang, this isn’t your fault. Don’t worry about it too much. We’ll give you the two thousand yuan in a bit. To be honest, it really startled me just now. I thought the wine was going to cost a fortune, and I was prepared to go bankrupt, haha.” An official nodded and laughed, his tone tinged with sarcasm.
"Director Li, Director Qian, no need, no need. Two thousand yuan is nothing. Consider it my treat to drinks for the Party Secretary," Foreman Zhang quickly waved his hand.
He was very excited as he spoke.
This step was definitely the right one.
Secretary Zhu and his entourage no longer had a bad impression of him; on the contrary, they felt a sense of being on the same side.
Perhaps, after this incident, my "relationship" with these people will become even closer.
I am truly a genius.
They actually came up with such a method.
hehe.
He thought he was going to have to pay a huge bill, but to his surprise, it only cost him two thousand yuan.
These two thousand yuan were definitely well spent.
On the other side, Zhao Gang and Liu Ming had very complicated feelings.
The policies implemented in Xianyuan County during this period have greatly impacted Lin Yun's family.
They seemed to understand why Lin Yun did this.
But is it really worth offending Secretary Zhu and his entourage, as well as a group of high-ranking officials in Xianyuan County?
In the end, Lin Yun is still a native of Xianyuan County!
"You heard me right, I said 20 million!" At this moment, Lin Yun looked at Foreman Zhang and Secretary Zhu and said calmly.
"Forehead--"
Everyone was stunned once again.
The scene fell silent once again.
Then came a commotion.
"Twenty million...it really was twenty million..."
"Twenty million for a bottle of wine? You must be kidding!"
"Heh, this young man isn't trying to blackmail Secretary Zhu and his group, is he?"
"Tsk tsk, this young man is incredibly bold!"
Some people shook their heads and sighed.
Do you know what you're saying?
"Young man, this is extortion, don't you understand?"
"Secretary Zhu, I think this person is problematic. Why don't I take him to the bureau for questioning?"
Some officials around Secretary Zhu sneered, and one of the middle-aged men even stood up, took a handcuff from his waist, and walked towards Lin Yun.
"Boss, don't act rashly!"
"Brother Lin, are you sure you didn't say something wrong?"
Zhao Gang and Liu Ming's expressions changed, and they hurriedly pulled down Lin Yun's sleeves, saying anxiously.
The two of them also believed that Lin Yun had made a mistake earlier. However, the people's subsequent words were rather unpleasant, which made Lin Yun impulsively offer a price of 20 million again.
However, these people are not ordinary people.
As one of them said, this is extortion.
Given these people's status, once they convict Lin Yun, it would be easy to get him taken to the police station.
Once you're in the police station, the truth of the matter is up to these people to decide.
"What? You just touched other people's things without permission, and then when you realized you couldn't afford to buy them back, you started arbitrarily accusing them? Are you planning to rob them outright? Or are you planning to erase the facts?" Lin Yun glanced at the middle-aged man who had stood up and said.
There was not a trace of panic in his words and actions.
"Hehe...you're getting more and more excited as you talk..."
"They're trying to extort us..."
"Twenty million for a bottle of wine? You really dare to ask for that price!"
Several officials laughed in exasperation.
"What happened?"
Just then, a voice came.
"boss!"
"boss!"
Then came the very respectful voices of the waiters.
Everyone turned around and saw a middle-aged man with a very imposing presence walking towards them at a leisurely pace.
"Boss Wang is here!"
"This is the owner of Wangxianlou Restaurant!"
Some people who recognized the middle-aged man said this.
"Boss Wang, it seems like anyone can just walk into your Wangxianlou restaurant! Someone actually tried to extort money from Secretary Zhu!" an official sneered.
"Secretary Zhu is coming without giving any prior notice. I, Wang, was unable to greet you properly and entertain you. Please forgive me!" The middle-aged man walked quickly toward Secretary Zhu and said with a smile.
“Mr. Wang, you’re too kind. We’re just here for a casual meal. Wangxianlou can simply treat us as ordinary guests. However, Director Li is right. Wangxianlou is the top hotel in Xianyuan County, the county’s flagship hotel. Shouldn’t we be a little careful about these guests? Someone is actually trying to extort money from us in the lobby.” Secretary Zhu said with a smile.
"Such a thing actually happened?" Boss Wang exclaimed in surprise.
Then, he turned to look at Foreman Zhao, who was standing to the side.
"Boss, here's what happened..." Foreman Zhao said hurriedly.
He was very eloquent and explained things clearly in just a few words.
However, he lightly brushed aside the responsibility of himself and Secretary Zhu's group in his words, and focused on Lin Yun's "despicable" behavior.
"A bottle of wine costs twenty million?" Mr. Wang was quite surprised to hear what Foreman Zhao said.
Then, his gaze fell on the bottle of wine on the table.
"This is... the Azure Cloud Supreme?"
The next moment, Mr. Wang gasped.
The Azure Cloud Supreme costs 11.88 million per bottle, and it is generally inaccessible to customers.
A few days ago, he really saw it for himself at the Qingyun Restaurant in Shenzhen.
He greatly admired Qingyun Restaurant; it was a truly top-tier restaurant.
The food there is truly delicious; every dish is an absolute delicacy.
He and a few friends also tried a bottle of Qingyun Supreme; at that time, there were no purchase restrictions.
It was like a true nectar, leaving one with endless aftertaste.
Unfortunately, just as he hesitated for a long time, planning to buy a bottle before returning, it was no longer possible for ordinary customers to purchase Qingyun Supreme.
Only customers who spend 50 million or recharge 100 million can purchase this product, and each card can only purchase three bottles per month.
He has to grit his teeth for a long time to buy a bottle, so how could he bear to spend 50 million or even 100 million yuan to buy this kind of wine?
He could only return with regret.
Unexpectedly, he saw Qingyun Supreme again in his own restaurant.
Who exactly is the owner of this Azure Cloud Supreme bottle?
He was very surprised.
Regardless of whether the owner of this bottle of Azure Cloud Supreme purchased it before or after the purchase restriction, the owner of this bottle of Azure Cloud Supreme is definitely not ordinary.
People who are willing to drink this kind of wine are at least billionaires, and not just any billionaires.
If the owner of this bottle of Azure Cloud Supreme purchased it after the purchase restrictions were lifted, then it would be even more impressive, with a net worth of at least one billion.
Without a net worth of over a billion, how could one be willing to spend fifty million, or even over a hundred million, on dining and drinking at Qingyun Restaurant?
