Chapter 254 Where are the arms?
There were only a few times in Robbie Myers' life when he drank the whole thing in one gulp.
But today, this is how she wanted to drink this glass of wine.
Regardless of whether she is sure of her future success at Lorraine Bio, she can never forget her glorious 16 years at ELLE.
But Robbie Myers is an industry leader after all, an old devil who has been at the top of the fashion industry for more than 20 years. He soon suppressed his emotional fluctuations and talked to Fang Yu about the taste of Merlot Valley. He also asked the restaurant owner and chef Gary Danko to help evaluate it.
Robbie Myers and Gary Danko are close friends. The name of this restaurant is named after Gary Danko himself, and it has been a Michelin one-star restaurant for ten consecutive years.
Gary Danko was originally the head chef of a famous winery in Napa Valley, and later became the executive chef of Ritz-Carlton. He has appeared on TV many times and is considered a celebrity chef.
And because of his experience in Napa Valley, Gary Danko has a deep knowledge of wine and has even won a wine connoisseur award.
As soon as Garidanko tasted the wine, he was immediately interested.
Judging from the silkiness of the tannins and the complexity of the taste, you can tell that this wine is a vintage.
But at the same time, the acidity of this wine is still refreshing and lively, the fruit aroma is distinct yet blended with each other, the taste is very smooth and the aftertaste is long.
At Robbie Myers's urging, Gary Danko did a comparative tasting of several of the restaurant's acclaimed red wines, even including a glass of Latour from 1942.
This is a red wine that received a perfect score that year, has great aging potential, and is now the perfect drinking period.
The wines in their restaurant are sold by the glass, so these are half bottles of wine, and there is no problem of waste.
This is a very common way of evaluating the quality of a new wine. If a sommelier says that this wine is better than a certain wine after drinking a glass of it, it is pure deception. Only blind tasting and comparative tasting can relatively objectively prove the quality of a wine.
After Garidanko finished drinking the Merlot Valley, he drank the 1942 Latour, which actually felt a bit stale.
Robbie Myers reacted quickly and immediately asked Fang Yu if he could supply this red wine for a long time. After receiving a positive answer, Robbie Myers immediately included Merlot Valley in the supply list of Wangshu Lei.
It’s just that the quantity is a bit small. Every year, only less than 12,000 boxes, or 140,000 bottles of red wine, can be supplied. This is even less than the quantity of Wangshu Lei, and it can only be distributed in small quantities as a first-level distribution product.
Even the compulsory purchase items are divided into many categories, and some of the items themselves are also matched with other items. How can this be justified?
Fang Yu didn't have any good solution for this. He couldn't quickly expand the production of wine in a short period of time. After all, the wine he was selling now had already been brewed.
Even if he brought modern brewing techniques and tools to the main plane, it would be impossible to increase the existing inventory.
The Bellevue family has transferred the Merlot Valley to Fang Yu. Of the 35,000-acre land, the vineyard covers more than 10,000 acres. Nearly 500 farmers are taking care of the vineyard, and there are more than 50 winemakers, 3 chief winemakers, and 7 assistant winemakers.
However, due to the limited level of productivity, production efficiency is very low. If it were not for the Harvest Church, this output could not be guaranteed.
Moreover, Fang Yu has tasted a lot of red wine in the main world, and it can be said that most of the flavors are hard to describe.
Without temperature-controlled fermentation equipment and stainless steel containers, it is impossible to accurately control the fermentation process; without advanced filtration technology, the quality of the wine cannot be guaranteed; without modern scientific storage conditions, the aging effect is even more mysterious.
It should be said that the wineries in the main plane produce more vinegar than wine.
Any twenty-dollar red wine from Blue Star can be considered a good wine if brought to the main plane. Modern winemaking technology has greatly improved the lower limit of red wine quality.
That is to say, the Merlot Valley has been producing red wine for more than two thousand years and has accumulated extremely rich experience, which allows it to control the quality of the wine at a relatively stable level. It is the highest quality of red wine in the main plane. Otherwise, it cannot be compared with modern red wine at all.
As a result, less than one-third of the red wine produced each year meets the sales standards; and of this one-third, due to imperfect storage technology, less than one-third can be aged.
The reason why Merlot Valley tastes so good is entirely due to the combined effect of the land, weather, grape varieties and Petula oak barrels in the Merlot Valley.
Among them, the Petula oak barrel can be said to have played a vital role.
This oak produced in the surrounding areas of Merlot Valley has a natural antibacterial effect and can add a very complex flavor to the wine. Under the combined effect of multiple factors, Merlot Valley can become a top-level red wine that tastes better than Conti.
Finally, after discussions with Robbie Myers, Fang Yu decided to set up another parent company called Lorraine, with its office located in New York, and Lorraine Bio will exist as a subsidiary of Lorraine.
New York is still the undisputed world's largest city and the world's leading financial center, gathering the most wealth and desires in the world.
Even if Robbie Myers didn't say it, Fang Yu was planning to go to New York to collect some Desire Faith.
Robbie Myers also submitted a formal resignation report to Hearst Group on the same day.
A single stone can cause a thousand ripples. The news that Robbie Myers suddenly announced his resignation caused an uproar in the fashion circle, and countless fashion media are digging deep into why Robbie Myers suddenly resigned.
However, this news was quickly overshadowed by even more explosive news in the entertainment industry.
Scarlett Johansson announced the end of her marriage to Romain Dauriac after a year and a half, and is preparing to resolve the custody issue of her daughter through litigation and return to being single!
Of course, none of the news is as exciting as Trump winning the Florida primary and directly defeating Marco Rubio, the Republican candidate with high hopes, in his hometown. People all over the world are watching the show to see what fun this big golden-haired guy can bring.
As soon as Fang Yu was teleported back to Da Zhou, he received a WeChat message.
A meeting with Chihiro's Robert Lee?
What's there to see? Nothing! No time.
We have to conquer the five major ninja villages at night.
——
Lin Shanming stayed at home peacefully for a few days. There was nothing he could do. The gang fight that had happened in CP DAVA had almost spread throughout the Zhou circle, so he could only stay out of the spotlight.
He rents this Beverly house for $70,000 a month. It covers an area of more than 2,000 square meters, less than one acre, with four bedrooms and six bathrooms. The previous owner was said to be a veteran Hollywood star from 50 or 60 years ago, who is now in his 90s.
In addition to him, several of his core team members also live here, making it his base in California.
I don’t know what’s going on these days. I always feel very tired and can’t wake up even when I sleep. I guess it’s because I was too tired recently. I can’t always guide my female students these days.
Lin Shanming picked up a book called "Buddhism is the Tao" and sat on the recliner to read it with great interest.
The writing style of this book is average, but the setting is really strong. Many parts can be put into Meng Huatian’s textbooks. The tone of this book is a bit conflicting with the theories previously advocated by Meng Huatian, so I have to think carefully about how to integrate it.
Lin Shanming was reading a book with great interest when he heard the doorbell ring.
He didn't even move. There were several apprentices below, so there was no need for him to open the door.
I guess it was someone who came to deliver the gospel.
These sectarians are so annoying, they never stop.
Lin Shanming muttered something and continued reading.
After watching for another five or six minutes, Lin Shanming suddenly felt something was wrong.
Isn’t it too quiet?
His disciples were all brought from Yingzhou, and they always shout and scream for no reason. Just now, these people were playing cards downstairs, and he could hear them from upstairs. Why is it so quiet now?
Lin Shanming calmly took out a gun from under the rocking chair, sat up, and prepared to go downstairs to take a look.
Although there is a high probability that nothing will happen, I am making money through illegal means, so I have to be extremely careful.
Before Lin Shanming reached the door, he heard a loud "bang" from the window behind him!
The glass shattered instantly and a few tiny pieces of glass swept past Lin Shanming's ears, leaving a few bloody marks.
Lin Shanming subconsciously turned around and saw a black figure falling into the room with the broken glass. Before he could react, there was a "pop" sound and his right shoulder went numb, followed by a severe pain, and the gun in his hand fell to the ground.
Immediately afterwards, the door of the room behind him collapsed, and more than a dozen people wearing the same combat uniforms rushed up and pinned him to the ground.
"What are you doing? This is private territory! Which department are you from? Ah! Stop pressing me! It hurts! I can't breathe!" One of them pressed Lin Shanming's neck with his knee, and at least four or five submachine guns were pointed at his head.
Lin Shanming reacted quickly and realized at the first moment that this was not a burglary but an operation by the police station.
Isn’t this too big of a deal?
“Bang!”
"Tell me! Where did you hide that batch of arms!?" A big man wearing a black special operations uniform with an NCIS logo on his clothes squatted down and slapped Lin Shanming in the face.
Ammunition? What ammunition?
I found that I can’t take a nap. If I do, my sense of writing will be ruined.
I took a nap in the afternoon, and after waking up I couldn't think of anything to write. The plot was all in my mind, such as Chihiro's reaction, how Lin Shanming would behave later, Da Mimi and Repa, and how the Queen of the Sea took a poop.
But how can I write interestingly? It all depends on my feelings. The plot is there, but the feeling of writing is suddenly gone, and it becomes like a diary. I found that the loss of the feeling of writing these times was caused by taking a nap.
Make some adjustments today and make up the two thousand words I owe today tomorrow.
Don’t think that I’m taking a break today. I definitely won’t take a break so early. Instead, I’m trying to hold back my writing inspiration. I have to let that feeling come out. If I can write another two thousand, I’ll post it. If I can’t, I’ll make up for it tomorrow.
