After that, he added, “I typically drink red wine, with an occasional whiskey here and there.”
Zhou Liangyun then inquired, “What’s the usual price range for a bottle of wine you drink?”
Steve paused for a moment before replying, “When paired with food, the price per bottle usually falls between 10,000 and 50,000 US dollars. For a significant banquet, you can expect it to be over 100,000 US dollars.”
Pointing to the yellow-topped glass bottle of liquor he had purchased, Zhou Liangyun asked, “Can you guess the price of this bottle?”
Steve shook his head, “I’m not very familiar with Chinese liquor, so I can’t really say…”
Charlie Wade, who was nearby, chuckled and said, “I’m not asking you to understand. Just take a guess at the price of this wine.”
Steve quickly responded, “Okay… I would guess it’s about… three thousand dollars?”
“Three thousand dollars?” Zhou Liangyun shook his head with a smile and replied, “No need for that; I’d say it’s around seven dollars.”
“Seven dollars?” Steve was taken aback, exclaiming, “Mr. Zhou usually drinks wine that costs only seven dollars?”
Zhou Liangyun chuckled and explained, “When I was in the U.S., I never touched such inexpensive wine. However, I tried a bottle at a small restaurant yesterday, and surprisingly, it tasted quite good.”
As Steve poured himself a glass of wine, he nervously swallowed and asked, “Do I need to test this wine first to make sure the ingredients are safe?”
Charlie Wade and Zhou Liangyun exchanged amused glances before Zhou Liangyun reassured him, “Just drink boldly. If there’s anything wrong with the wine I brought, it’ll be on me.”
Charlie Wade chimed in, “No worries! If anything happens after you drink, I’ll give you a pill right then and there. You’ll be getting a bargain!”
Steve smirked, “In that case, I’ll drink two more bottles and mix it with a pill from you.”
Zhou Liangyun laughed, “There’s only one bottle here; let’s share it among the three of us. That means each of us will have about five ounces, just over thirty-two cents. With your build, you might not handle much.”
Steve sighed, “I know that Mr. Wade’s elixirs aren’t something you can easily get…”
Charlie Wade smiled slightly, “That’s not necessarily true. I’ve always been generous with my true friends. In fact, I’ve given away many rejuvenation elixirs, which are far more potent than that one for your father.”
With a serious expression, Steve replied, “Mr. Wade, I’ve always considered you a friend.”
Charlie Wade grinned, “Oh really? I didn’t quite feel that.”
Zhou Liangyun added playfully, “Maybe Steve’s way of showing friendship is a bit more reserved.”
Charlie Wade nodded and teased Steve, “You know, we Easterners tend to be more reserved, while you Westerners are usually passionate and open. From now on, feel free to express your friendship more directly.”
Understanding that Charlie Wade was joking, Steve humbly replied, “Don’t worry, Mr. Wade. I’ll make sure I’m not so subtle in the future.”
He then quickly stated his intentions to Charlie Wade: “If you ever need anything from me down the line, just ask, and I’ll do my utmost. As the ancient Chinese saying goes, I will go out of my way to protect my friends. I, Steve… Rothschild too!”
