Amelia secretly pinched Xiao Peng's waist. She knew that Xiao Peng was about to trick him.

Although she didn't know how much Xiao Peng drank, she knew that this wine was definitely not cheap. This was because her mother's family had this kind of wine.

Mrs. Shawn drank a lot of red wine, so there was all kinds of red wine in the house. The wines that entered her cabinet were definitely good wine, and good wine usually meant that it wasn't cheap!

Amelia, still kind-hearted, said directly to Austin, "Austin, forget it. This isn't cheap."

Even though Austin and the others were outstanding students from Harvard University and were all blessed by the heavens with a good family background, they were still young and had yet to reach the age to drink red wine. How could they possibly know how expensive this wine was? In Austin's mind, the most expensive thing was a few hundred dollars. It's not like he couldn't afford it, what's there to be afraid of?

One must know that in the normal life of the Stellar Union, buying an ordinary bottle of red wine would only cost twenty to thirty dollars. Hearing Amelia's words, Austin smiled and said, "It's fine. It's just two bottles of wine. To celebrate today's performance, it's worth it."

The waiter walked over happily with two bottles of wine. In the star bar state where the waiter is required to pay the tip, the higher the level of the place the waiter expects the tip to be.

In the butcher's bar, for example, the check is checked out immediately after ordering the goods. The waiter takes the bill and card, swipes the card, returns the credit card, and asks the customer to sign the bill, which has the amount of the customer's handwritten consumption and the total amount of the consumption and consumption, and then signs in effect. Customers can fill in the corresponding figures in the tip column so that they can swipe the card together when they pay the bill, or they can cross out the area, sign only the actual amount of money spent, and pay the tip in cash, usually in a book or at the table.

Xiao Peng had very little cash on him, so he had just filled in the tip of two hundred dollars. Upon hearing that they needed another two bottles of Romanee-Conti, the waiter was so happy that he started singing and dancing. They were about to f * * king send it out! One must know, normally, they wouldn't even receive 20 dollars' worth of tips here. It was usually only 5 dollars and 10 dollars, yet the Chinese people would give 200 dollars in a single go. They sure were rich.

"Sir, please confirm. Is this the wine you need?" The waiter held the wine in both hands and showed the label to Austin for him to look at.

Austin took the red wine from the waiter's hands with a serious expression. He pretended to look at it and nodded. "That's right, that's it. This is the wine I want. Please bring me a wine decanter." She said to Amelia, "The red wine will be better after you wake it up."

Hearing that, Di Wei recalled Xiao Peng's point of view about the sobering wine and burst out laughing. Xiao Peng glared at him, Di Wei hurriedly suppressed his laughter, waiting to see a joke.

Austin glanced at Di Wei, not knowing what he was laughing at. The waiter set the wine aside and handed the bill to Austin. Without looking at the bill, Austin crossed out the tip bar with a flourish of his pen, took out twenty dollars and a credit card from his pocket, and placed them in his ledger. He handed them to the waiter.

The waiter looked at the twenty dollars in his account book. Sigh, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. He looks like a human or a dog, how can he be so stingy when compared to that Chinese? But no matter what, it was better than nothing, no? The waiter politely thanked him, turned around, and left.

The waiter went to get the decanter, while Austin proudly told Xiao Peng, "In our place, in this kind of service, you have to tip, no matter the price, you have to tip three dollars and five dollars. Of course, if you feel satisfied with the service, you have to tip a little more. Just like me, give him twenty dollars at once. "

Xiao Peng said with an enlightened manner, "Oh, so that's how it is."

Di Wei covered his mouth with all his might to stop himself from laughing. This Austin was too funny!

The waiter brought the decanter, returned Austin's credit card to him, and asked, "Sir, shall we start drinking now?"

Austin waved his hand. "Of course. Open both bottles."

After the waiter poured the wine into the wine decanter and left, Austin introduced the crowd with deep emotion, "Every bottle of red wine is a sleeping beauty, pouring the wine into the wine decanter like this, promoting the oxidation of the red wine, softening the tannins contained in the wine, and waking the sleeping beauty up from her sleep, releasing the fragrance and beauty that she should have, only then can you truly taste the wonderful taste of the wine." Directly pouring it into the cup and drinking it like that just now is no different from seeing a peony and wasting all the treasures of heaven. " After he finished speaking, he glanced at Xiao Peng complacently with a face full of provocation.

Before Xiao Peng could say anything, Austin's phone suddenly rang. Austin made an apologetic gesture to the crowd and picked up the call.

En, you must show good rest at this time.

It was a woman's voice. "Hello, is this Mr. Gill Austin?"

"Yes, I am." Austin replied, "You are?"

"I'm a staff member of the 'Discovery' credit card company. Your credit card has a transaction record, do you want to spend it yourself?" Austin's credit card is Discover. There were a lot of credit card companies in Star Stripe, such as Bank of Stars and Stripes, Citigroup Credit Card, JPMorgan Credit Card, Barclays Card and so on. However, in the eyes of Star Stripe citizens, the two most popular cards were the 'Express' card and the 'Discovery' card, which accounted for more than 80% of the country's market share.

The secret to the success of these two cards was that they were extremely efficient at customer service. When there was an abnormality in the account, they would immediately notify the customer service. If there was a situation where the account was stolen, it was basically a phone call, which was much better than a Chinese credit card. Currently, the Express card is already cooperating with China Bank. The next card to enter China is probably the Discover card.

Austin smirked. "What?" Is it time to increase my credit limit again? "

The value of using a credit card in the Star countries was not as simple as just being able to be used in advance. There was also a credit limit, and when Austin first applied for this discovery card, the credit limit was only five hundred dollars. After using it for so many years, the credit limit kept increasing and now it had finally reached forty thousand dollars.

Don't underestimate this credit limit, it's very convenient to borrow money to buy a house here, and that's how most people get their house. On the other hand, if you don't repay the loan, then the credit limit will be lowered, and that would mean that the person holding the card is a shameless, dishonest person who still wants to borrow money to buy a house? Go wash up and sleep!

Credit cards are absolutely important here.

The voice on the other end said, "Since it's you, I'd like to see how you're spending it. Your credit card just paid a fee at the butcher's bar in Boston, Massachusetts. It's for two bottles of wine, isn't it?"

Austin was a little confused. "Yeah, what's the problem?"

"If that's the case, then it's fine." The staff member who found the credit card said, "Because the consumption just now was a bit big, we'll call to confirm it to prevent your credit card from being stolen."

Austin frowned and said, "Isn't it just the consumption of two bottles of wine?" I used to spend a lot of money on credit cards, and you didn't call me to ask. "

"Excuse me, Mr. Austin, but we're disturbing you." The person who found out about the credit card company was still very polite, "The key is that you had the highest credit card consumption before, it was only $6,754, but you suddenly spent $29,400 today, which is a bit out of your consumption habits, so we called to ask around. Since you are the one who is going to spend it, then there's nothing left to do. "

"How much did you say?" Austin jumped up from his chair and everyone in the bar stared at him.

The employee who found out about the credit card company said: "Twenty-nine thousand four hundred dollars, of which twenty-eight thousand dollars was the price of wine, plus a 5% consumption tax, for a total of twenty-nine thousand four hundred dollars. "Since I've confirmed that you're spending your money, I won't disturb your precious time any longer. I wish you a pleasant weekend." After saying that, he noticed that the staff member hung up the phone very politely.

Austin stood rooted to the spot for a long time before suddenly going mad and shouting at the waiter, "Waiter!" "Waiter!"

His voice summoned not only the waiters but also the Harvard students on the other side of the room. They ran over, thinking that Austin was in some kind of conflict, and when they got here, Austin was shivering as he looked at the decanters on the table.

"Austin, are you okay?" Someone who was on good terms with Austin asked with concern when they saw his appearance. Austin didn't seem to hear him. He just stared at the wine in the decanter with a blank expression.

The waiter came over and said to Austin, "Sir, may I know what you're looking for? I wonder what's the matter? "

Austin came back to his senses. "What wine is this?" "How much is it?"

The waiter was surprised for a moment, but he answered honestly, "This is Romanee-Conti from 2008. The original price was $14,199, because you bought one bottle today, my boss purposely gave you a price of $199, for only $14,000."

Austin stared at the waiter. "When did I ever ask for such an expensive wine?"

The waiter said, "You said it yourself. You wanted two bottles of the same wine. And this table just drank from Romanee-Conti of 2008. The bottle is still here, I didn't take the wrong bottle!"

"Xie Te! "Then you still didn't tell me how expensive this wine is!" Austin roared.

The waiter was not angry. "Sir, I gave the bill to you and you signed the bill after reading it. We also showed you the wine first, and you confirmed it. We have cameras here to keep track of the entire incident, so you can't just blame it on us! "

"Xie Te Te Te Te Te Te Te Te Te Te Te!" Austin waved his fist like a madman, and the waiter took a step back in fright.

Xiao Peng spoke up at this moment, "Mr. Austin, please remain calm."

Austin turned to Xiao Peng. "It's you! This is all your doing! " Section error, click on this report (no registration), after reporting the maintenance personnel will correct chapter content within two minutes, please wait patiently, and refresh the page.
