As Lin Bai's methods were being revealed, Qiao Wa Francis's attitude towards them had clearly improved a lot. However, when Shang Zhuocai asked about business matters, Qiao Wa's tone was still different.
"Mr. Francis, what are your thoughts on working with our family?" Shang Zhuocai asked again after pondering for a moment. He was unwilling to give up. The business deal between the Shang Family and Qiao Wa Francis could be said to be putting him at a life and death juncture. Shang Zhuocai could not help but be unconcerned.
Qiao Wa Francis shook his head and patted Shang Zhuocai's shoulder, and laughed: "Young man, let's not talk about business for now. You Chinese people have a good saying. If you have friends from afar, you can come from afar. You are all my distinguished guests, so I will bring out the highest quality wine to receive you. I will now take you to my wine cellar to choose your wine! "
Since Francis had already spoken, Shang Zhuocai had no choice but to follow the old fox into the depths of the villa. After passing through a small wooden door, they went down a flight of stairs and arrived at an oak door that was wrapped in thick leather.
"You are the first guests to visit my wine cellar!" Giovanni Francis pushed open the heavy oak door, made a welcoming gesture, and said softly, "This is my life's savings, and the most proud achievement of my life."
There was a flash of pride on his face, as if he were describing his son's accomplishments.
"I arranged this wine cellar according to the ancient vineyards' wine storages. I didn't use any modern methods to keep the temperature constant, but I did use the natural method of storing wine. I dug this wine cellar 50 meters underground to absorb the heat and keep it at a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius!" Francis proudly said as he pointed to the layout of the wine cellar.
Hearing Qiao Wa Francis's words, Lin Bai was speechless. He then asked: "The investment in this wine cellar must be huge!"
"One hundred million euros." "Moreover, this is only the cost of construction and not the price of the wine!" Francis chuckled.
He pointed to the rows of oak barrels on the left bank of France, and said in a clear voice, "I flew these wines from the old wine cellars on the left bank of the country. During the transport, there was no turbulence at all, maintaining the original temperature and humidity of the underground space.
Lin Bai was completely convinced that the arrangement of the wine cellar was worth it. However, these wines could not be measured with money. The pursuit of red wine at home and abroad could be said to be terrifying. If it were not for the status of Joeva Francis, he would not have been able to obtain these wines!
The light above their heads was dim and the air was filled with the smell of old oak. The strong aroma of alcohol made one want to open the oak barrel at the side and taste the fine wine here.
After they reached the deepest part of the wine cellar, Jova Francis took out an incredibly ancient bottle with trembling hands. After he placed it in front of his nose and took a deep breath, he turned to Lin Bai and softly said, "Right now it's midnight, what we should drink most is still this white wine that has been sealed underground for seventy years!"
While talking, Qiao Wa Francis took a few cups from the side, opened the stopper of the bottle, and poured a few cups for Lin Bai and the others. The aroma of the wine wafted out as soon as he opened the bottle cap. It was really refreshing.
The entrance was extremely warm, and after a while, one could feel the rich fragrance of oak and fruit, as if they were in an endless grape garden.
After a long while, Lin Bai sighed in satisfaction, he put down the cup and turned to look at Qiao Wa Francis: "Mr. Francis, the wine has been drunk, now it is time to talk about business matters. Lou Qiya's methods are not as good as mine, so I believe her calculations are not exactly accurate, state your conditions, and don't delay any longer! "
Shang Zhuocai also retracted his gaze from the wine cup, staring at Qiao Wa Francis with incomparable nervousness.
It was clear that Jova Francis had been running away from business matters. Even though Lou Qiya had defeated Qiao Wa Francis, but he did not have any intentions of working together. He only brought a few people to look at his own collection, showing off their wealth.
Originally, Lin Bai was still confused, but when Qiao Wa Francis started to explain the value of this wine cellar to them, Lin Bai understood, that what this old fellow wanted to obtain was definitely not money. He had used the wine cellar to prove that he was rich, rich to the point where he would not even feel pain if he were to casually spend money.
What did such a person want?
Jorva Francis liked the wine. According to the layout of the villa, this 50-60 year old foreigner was someone who could enjoy life. The more one enjoyed it, the more afraid they would be of the future. They were afraid that one day, they would be unable to enjoy the luxury goods that they had accumulated.
Therefore, Lin Bai was sure that after seeing his methods, Qiao Wa Francis had always avoided talking about the reason why he wanted to cooperate. It was most likely because he wanted to use his methods to divinate the future of his luck, so that could understand the future.
If it was any other ordinary person, Lin Bai could easily handle this matter. However, this Qiao Wa Francis was the godfather of the Sicily Peninsula. He had a lot of things on his shoulders, and if he was given the chance to calculate the future of this place, it would definitely be considered a heaven-defying method.
Judging by the situation, if it was just a small use, then it really was nothing. For example, when Lin Bai calculated things for He Shaoyu previously, those were all small matters, nothing much. However, how could an old fox like Joeva Francis be so easily fooled by her? She definitely wanted to let him predict the future for her!
Calculating where a person's life could go to was an extremely important matter. If one couldn't use it properly, the lifespan would be taken lightly. In a serious situation, it was very likely that the backlash from the heaven and earth would not only affect him, but also his own family.
"Mr. Lin has already seen through me. How could he not know what I want?" Qiao Wa Francis waved the scarlet red liquid in his wine cup and looked at Lin Bai with a smile that was not a smile and said softly.
Lin Bai shook his head and laughed bitterly, then said softly, "Mr Francis, you overestimate me, I can't do something like that!"
It wasn't that Lin Bai couldn't do such a thing, it was just that if he were to let Francis guess his fate, it would involve too much of a burden, and would easily cause some side effects. Furthermore, Francis was of no value to Lin Bai at all. If it was to be used to calculate for his own family, Lin Bai would definitely not care about anything. But for him, it was not worth it.
"As long as you calculate for me, Mr. Lin. This wine cellar is yours! " Qiao Wa Francis heard Lin Bai's words, and the expression on his face didn't change at all.
As the words left his mouth, Shang Zhuocai, who was at the side, sucked in a breath of cold air and looked at Lin Bai in a daze. The price of the wine cellar was probably more than a billion. Compared to the price that he had to pay for giving away the Private aircraft, Jova Francis was way too extravagant!
"Money is of no use to me, and I'm not lacking either!" Lin Bai shook his head, turned and looked at Shang Zhuocai with an apologetic smile, and said: "Zhuo Cai, I'm sorry, I can't help you with this matter, go explain it to Old Master Shang and see if there is anything you can do about it. I, Lin Bai, will bear all the losses! "
"Mister Lin, don't be in such a hurry!" Qiao Wa Francis heard Lin Bai's words and became anxious. He put down his wine cup and quickly walked in front of Lin Bai, saying softly, "I was reckless. Mr. Don't worry, let's talk about the conditions first. What do you think? "
Looking at the old cunning fox's expression, Lin Bai smiled slightly, this was the effect he wanted. As long as he was anxious, he would use any method that could trick him or threaten him using the methods recorded in the Innate Book. He was afraid that the old man would not cooperate well.
"A condition?!" What the f * * k! Don't you see if I'm that kind of person who talks about conditions!
Although Lin Bai felt that his thoughts were a little overboard, but he really didn't believe that there was anything that a foreigner could talk about with him. He did not lack money; he still had not seen anyone stronger than the Innate Book with his magic tools. His phase technique had already been recorded on the Innate Book, it was very difficult for the old fellow to not have something that could shock him!
After thinking about it for a while, Lin Bai squinted his eyes and stared at Joy Wa Francis and laughed: "I wonder what kind of things Mr. Francis has in your hands that I am interested in?!"
"I am sure that you will be interested in this matter, Mr. Lin!" Joanna Francis narrowed his eyes. His face was the same as an old fox. There were multiple smiles on his face as he said.
Lin Bai waved his hand and softly spoke: "Just what exactly is it that you want to say. Let me see if it is as attractive to me as you say!"
"Mister Lin, are you not curious why Lou Qiya, the Dark Wizard has come to find me? Don't forget that even though I am the godfather of the Mafia, I have no connection with your world! " Francis narrowed his eyes as he chuckled: "You guys are the ones who call the wind and rain! There is no need for people other than the few of us!"
