Chapter 189 General Manager of Longting
The old steward couldn't figure out the difference between fine wine and gold, so he left the wine cellar with a bitter face and went to find Dongfang Jiye.
Zhuo Yang staying in the wine cellar was like a monkey entering a peach orchard...
Regardless of the age of the wine, all eight enormous wooden barrels were stored in the jade pendant, and the fine wines on the wall were also taken into their possession.
Unfortunately, it was all red wine. Zhuo Yang widened his eyes and scanned the area with his demonic pupils, and sure enough, he found the passage in the corner.
Upon entering another wine cellar, we found it filled with baijiu (Chinese liquor), including Moutai and Erguotou, all aged and stored for a considerable period!
"Hahaha..." Zhuo Yang laughed for a while, then waved his hand, revealing the purple-gold gourd. "Take it!"
The caps of bottles of baijiu (Chinese liquor) inexplicably popped open, and streams of fine wine, transformed into clear springs, were sucked into the purple-gold gourd.
The last bottle of wine was sucked into the gourd. Zhuo Yang tilted his head back, aimed at the gourd, and took a big gulp.
"Good wine!"
The Purple Gold Gourd can refine all things, but it is not a legendary treasure. To refine an object, one either needs time or the holder needs to use their true essence to refine it.
Zhuoyang can be used to store wine, and the speed of its refining can be completely controlled. Not only will it not lose much of the wine, but it can also enhance the aroma and even make the wine contain vital energy.
"Yes, let it devour more things in the future, and divert some of its vital energy into the wine. That way, I won't have to worry about not having good wine!" Zhuo Yang laughed again.
Just then, hurried footsteps came from outside the passage, followed by Dongfang Jiye's terrified cry: "Where's my wine?"
“It’s with me!” Zhuo Yang replied loudly.
Dongfang Jiye rushed in in a panic, saw empty wine bottles all over the floor, and his legs went weak, almost causing him to kneel down. "My wine! It's all vintage wine that you can't find on the market!"
"Don't be nervous, I'll use them to make even better wine!" Zhuo Yang raised an eyebrow at him, found a wine cup, poured a cup of wine with the purple-gold gourd, and handed it to Dongfang Jiye.
After taking a sniff of the wine, Dongfang Jiye's eyes widened. Without saying a word, he downed the wine in his glass. "Good wine! I've never tasted such good wine in my life. What kind of wine is it?"
Zhuo Yang smiled faintly: "It was made using your wine. If you want to drink good wine in the future, just come to me for it!"
"Give me two hundred catties first, I'll buy it!" Dongfang Jiye gritted his teeth and roared. Damn it, I have a whole cellar of wine worth at least twenty or thirty million, and you're getting it for free!
He was a wine connoisseur who didn't care about money, but he was heartbroken when someone stole his wine!
Zhuo Yang glanced at him: "Giving it to you now is fine, but it's still just ordinary wine. If you come to me for it again in a month or two, I can let you taste the real celestial wine!"
"Hiss..." Dongfang Jiye gasped, and without thinking, said, "Can you get more? If possible, I'll have someone go buy wine right now, buy five hundred million worth of wine first!"
Zhuo Yang's lips twitched a few times, and he almost cursed out, "You old bastard, you're really heartless!"
But on second thought, this is a way to make money.
“Sure, send someone to buy wine right now. I happen to have some spare cash here, take it!” Zhuo Yang smiled knowingly and immediately threw out all the gold he had obtained from the Fu family.
The most valuable items were jade artifacts and jewelry, which Zhuo Yang planned to keep and pass down to his descendants.
Dongfang Jiye was almost startled by the sudden appearance of the wine cellar filled with gold. He fell to the ground with a thud, his eyes dazzled by the gold.
"Zhuo Yang, did you rob... the Fu family?" He realized, and was even more astonished.
The Fu family's years of accumulated wealth have all benefited Zhuo Yang!
"You can take the gold and dispose of it. Then we'll pool our resources and use it all to buy wine. I'll refine some immortal wine and sell it to big spenders. Each bottle will fetch at least a hundred thousand!" Zhuo Yang said with a chilling smile, making the cellar even colder.
Dongfang Jiye shuddered, thinking to himself that the wealthy families of Lingzhou were about to be plundered... no, all the rich people in the world!
Just based on that one glass of wine he drank, the world's richest people couldn't resist the temptation of fine wine!
That was settled. Dongfang Jiye quickly got up and ran out to instruct people to buy wine. Later, he found it too troublesome, so he simply acquired the local wineries in Lingzhou and transported all the wines stored there to the Dongfang family manor.
Zhuo Yang worked until dawn the next day before he finally managed to suck all the hundreds of tons of wine into the Purple Gold Gourd...
……
Last night, Zhou Hanxiao took a flight back to Beijing and went to the headquarters of Longting All-in-One Trade Company to report on her work.
The headquarters of Longting is an old-fashioned three-story building with a sign hanging at the entrance that says Longting sells everything. The sign is a tattered wooden sign that looks like it hasn't been changed in decades.
Upon entering the building, Zhou Hanxiao knocked on the door of the general manager's office on the third floor.
"Hanxiao, come in!"
A gentle voice came from inside, and Zhou Hanxiao, with a lazy smile on her face, pushed open the door and entered.
"General Manager, you've actually emerged from seclusion! You've broken through to the Nascent Soul stage this time, right? Or perhaps the Soul Transformation stage?"
The cramped office is only a dozen square meters, with old-fashioned furnishings, no different from the office of an ordinary retired cadre.
Behind the desk sat a bald old man with age spots on his face and a kind expression.
"You're still the same as ever, you're infuriating to look at!" The old man shook his head and gave a few bitter laughs.
Zhou Hanxiao didn't take it seriously, sat on the sofa and crossed her legs, then said, "President Xiang, don't talk about me, the whole world has been in chaos these past few months. You've just come out of seclusion, so you probably have to take care of things!"
The old man, named Xiang Huahan, smiled bitterly at his age-spotted face and shook his head, saying, "I've come out of seclusion, but as for breaking through, forget it. I'm too old; there's no way I can break through."
"What?" Zhou Hanxiao suddenly sat up straight, her face solemn. "You haven't broken through yet, does that mean the other shareholders are in the same boat, and have no hope either?"
Xiang Huahan sighed: "Originally, everyone thought that under the influence of the energy fluctuations, the energy of Blue Star would become increasingly abundant, allowing them to break through the cultivation barriers that had been holding them back for decades..."
"Unfortunately, we're really getting old, and it's impossible for us to break through to the Nascent Soul stage!"
Zhou Hanxiao looked indifferent. The five shareholders and Xiang Huahan were the founders of Longting. They had all reached the Nascent Soul stage. However, if there was no hope of further breakthroughs, those cultivation sects might break the shackles on their necks once they discovered that the shackles around their necks had weakened, and become unscrupulous!
"Talented people emerge in the martial arts world, and new talents replace the old." Xiang Huahan smiled faintly, without a trace of regret. "We are all getting old. The future world is in your hands, young people."
Zhou Hanxiao stood up and solemnly said, "Elder Xiang, rest assured, I, Zhou Hanxiao, will definitely uphold the Dragon Court's declaration, protect national stability, and prevent any cultivator from causing trouble in China!"
Nodding, Xiang Huahan smiled and said, "Alright, sit down. I know your temperament all too well."
"By the way, I heard that you came back to headquarters this time because you obtained a treasure and are about to break through to the Golden Core stage and form the Nascent Soul stage?"
