"Dear Count, in the past week, our Bordeaux wine's sales share in several cities of Huaxia Jiangbei Province has experienced a significant decline due to the newly brewed Immortal Orange Wine."

The tailcoat-clad butler, Gale, said from the side.

"I see."

Count Hilcon's face immediately darkened.

Initially, he didn't pay much attention to just a decline in sales share in a few cities as he was the person in charge of Bordeaux wines in Huaxia.

However, it now seemed that the situation was far more serious than he had thought.

Even he was captivated by the delightful taste of the Immortal Orange Wine. If it expanded globally, it would pose a huge threat to Bordeaux wines.

"Luo, do you know about the production volume of this wine?"

Count Hilcon turned his gaze to Luo Guangwei.

"Dear Count, I sent someone to investigate, and currently, the Immortal Orange Wine Company has only one winery, which can brew fifty thousand bottles a day, and it requires no optimal waiting period for the taste; it's this delicious as soon as it's made."

Luo Guangwei said in a deep voice.

This point was perhaps the most shocking.

"Fifty thousand bottles brewed in a day, and no optimal waiting period for taste?!"

Even with Count Hilcon's composure and status, his blue eyes widened slightly in disbelief.

The nearby butler Gale also showed a shocked expression.

Take for instance one of the most famous brands of Bordeaux wine, the '82 Lafite. The reputation of the wine from that year was due to two main reasons.

Firstly, because of ample sunshine and less rain that year, the quality of the harvested grapes was the best. The quality of the grapes directly determines the quality of the wine, so the wine brewed that year became famous worldwide, yet the total quantity was only tens of thousands of bottles.

Secondly, because Lafite has an optimal drinking period, during which the taste and quality are at their peak. Generally, the '82 Lafite, after fermenting and oxidizing for 25 to 30 years, will have its best taste, which is the present moment.

These two primary reasons together made the '82 Lafite rise to fame.

What does producing fifty thousand bottles a day mean? It means eighteen million bottles a year! What an astonishing number, and this is just from one winery.

What does it mean to have no optimal taste waiting period? It means there's no need to wait twenty or thirty years to drink it, like a beverage, it's ready to drink once brewed, and its taste far surpasses their best-quality wines.

These two points alone left Count Hilcon amazed.

If so, when Immortal Orange Wine truly expands, where will there be any place for Bordeaux wines? By then, the great Bordeaux Clan's wealth would significantly shrink.

"Count Hilcon, you must have realized by now that once Immortal Orange Wine truly develops, no wine industry in the world will be its match."

Luo Guangwei observed Count Hilcon's expression, a smile subtly emerging at the corner of his mouth.

Bordeaux wines sell well globally and are unchallenged giants in today's world wine industry. Given the potential and development trend of Immortal Orange Wine, it is bound to clash with Bordeaux wines. Therefore, he wasn't worried that the Bordeaux Clan would not attempt to seize Immortal Orange Wine's recipe.

"Well, with the Bordeaux Clan taking action, nipping that kid is as easy as squashing an ant."

Luo Guangwei sneered inwardly.

The Bordeaux Clan, inherited from the European Middle Ages, carries over a thousand years of foundation and stands as one of the foremost colossal family clans worldwide. Moreover, Luo Guangwei knew some inside information; the family wasn't as simple as it appeared on the surface.

Actually, if Qin Yang were present, upon hearing the Bordeaux surname, he would have some understanding of this family. The assassin who once attacked him, the Night Baron, was named Andre Bordeaux.

"Dear Luo, thank you for telling me such crucial information. From now on, you will be a distinguished guest of the Bordeaux Clan."

Count Hilcon gazed at Luo Guangwei and said.

"Dear Count, you're too kind. In fact, my purpose for coming this time is to seek cooperation with you."

Luo Guangwei slightly lowered his posture and said.

"Oh? Luo, what kind of cooperation are you seeking?"

Count Hilcon raised an eyebrow, looking at Luo Guangwei.

"Dear Count, this Immortal Orange Wine is infinitely potential and poses a threat not only to my Tianhong Baijiu but also will heavily impact Bordeaux wines. We cannot afford not to prepare early. I believe the Count must be interested in the recipe for the Immortal Orange Wine."

Luo Guangwei said with a smile.

"Hmm, not bad, Luo."

Count Hilcon nodded, without denying it. In the face of such an enormous potential threat as the Immortal Orange Wine, he was compelled to treat it with utmost seriousness. Smiling, he said, "I will send the family's brewing elites to study the recipe and brewing methods of this Immortal Orange Wine."

"Count Hilcon, I regret to inform you that I also sent people to study it, but gained very little as the recipe and brewing methods of this wine are quite peculiar."

Luo Guangwei shook his head and said.

"Ha, the elites of our Bordeaux Clan will definitely research it."

Count Hilcon chuckled, unconcerned. The Bordeaux Clan had generations of inheritance with numerous scholars specializing in wine research, certain to explore the mysteries of Immortal Orange Wine.

Seeing Count Hilcon's proud demeanor, Luo Guangwei said nothing further.

These foreigners were extremely arrogant indeed, but when they eventually found nothing, they'd naturally find ways to obtain the recipe from that kid.

"Dear Count, in any case, I hope that if the Bordeaux Clan ever becomes capable of brewing Immortal Orange Wine, the agency rights for Huaxia can be granted to me?"

Luo Guangwei voiced his thoughts.

"You want the whole Huaxia agency rights?"

Count Hilcon furrowed his brows. For a business to grow large, it naturally needed agents.

However, this fellow opening his mouth to request the whole Huaxia agency rights was too unrealistic. After all, Huaxia, with its vast population, is a massive market.

"Oh, no, Luo, in light of you sharing this crucial information with me, I can decide to grant you the agency rights for Huaxia Jiangbei Province."

Count Hilcon smiled and said.

"Just one province? Dear Count, this..."

Upon hearing this, Luo Guangwei's face slightly darkened; this was far from his expectations.

"Yes, Luo, only this one province."

Count Hilcon's voice carried an undeniable tone.

"Alright, Dear Count."

Luo Guangwei nodded, agreeing. He dared not say much more; the Bordeaux Clan was not an entity he could provoke.

After sitting in the hall for a while longer, Luo Guangwei and Wang Jinsu left the castle.

"Bah, these foreigners are really damned stingy."

Luo Guangwei glanced back at the castle, spat heavily on the ground, cursed under his breath, and then got into the Bentley with Wang Jinsu, driving away from there.

"Boss, where are we going?"

Wang Jinsu asked.

"To Jiangnan City, where I have a villa. We will watch the tigers fight from the mountain."

Luo Guangwei said in a deep voice. According to his conjecture, there was a high chance that the Bordeaux Clan wouldn't be able to research it, and then they would surely go to trouble that kid. He would just watch as that kid got handled.
