Riding the wind of rebirth

Throughout the morning, the two sides only resolved the issue of the legality of the right to guide. Although Lewis rejected the power of the Practitioners Association to guide non-members of the association in accordance with the association's charter, he also ultimately ruled that the Practitioners Association could file a complaint with the Alliance Forum on behalf of practitioners.

Obviously, Malmut won this round because he got the chance to proceed to the next round, and Tony Huang's attempt to snipe him in the bud failed.

Zhou Zhi was actually quite interested in this litigation process. Watching both parties pile up evidence and then overturn each other's evidence, this kind of verbal sparring was much more exciting than watching TVB's "Legal Mavericks". It was a pity that TVB's new fan Xiao Miao was not here, otherwise he would definitely feel nervous and excited.

"Mr. George doesn't seem worried? Have you also experienced difficult, complicated, and resource-wasting lawsuits like the one in the United States?" Louise seemed very interested in Zhou Zhi, and took the opportunity to ask Zhou Zhi during the morning recess.

Zhou Zhi also felt that it was difficult to judge the age of this female investment bank elite from her appearance. He couldn't tell whether she was an older sister or an aunt, but he didn't know the reason, but he replied very politely: "No, this is the first time I have seen such a dispute in your country. It is indeed exciting. However, as you said, it was originally a matter of fighting over the fruit, but it started with the ownership of the orchard. It is really a waste of resources."

"First time? Then you are not nervous about the bad situation that our lawyer Huang is facing?"

"Why should we be nervous?" Zhou Zhi acted very relaxed. "If the association doesn't even have the confidence to pass this level, how dare they file a complaint? And there's no need for us to fly all the way from Asia to watch the game, right?"

Louise was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "Mr. George's perspective on things seems to be somewhat different from that of ordinary people."

"How about we all have a meal together?" Zhou Zhi suggested, "Let's talk about it?"

"No," Freeman said, "I have to go back and finish my work this morning. To be honest, I think it's a waste of precious time to listen to such a boring and tedious debate process."

"Out of a sense of responsibility to the organization, we still need to follow up on the process of the league's response to the complaint." Louise smiled and said, "But Freeman is right. I also have to deal with the work left over from this morning. I will skip the meal. See you in court this afternoon."

After Louise and Freeman left, Huron and Richard Riel also found their own reasons to leave, and Tony Huang and Margaret did not come out of the court either. Only Zhou Zhi, Ikeda Qiu, and Zhang Silu were left in the group.

"How about we go to Le Bernadin? Xiao Miao and I have been there and it was pretty good." Zhou Zhi had already mentioned the idea of ​​having dinner together. Now that no one was giving him face, he couldn't take it back, so he had to say to the two girls, "Xiao Miao has already said that she and her father's assistants will have a bitter meal on campus at noon, so there are only three of us left."

Zhang Siluo made Zhou Zhi laugh by saying "Yiku Fan". "Forget it, let's treat you. You don't know much about New York. You've finally come here, and you've been to the same restaurant several times."

"I heard that you exchanged a bottle of wine for a can in a restaurant and got $100,000 for free?" Ikeda Oka seized the opportunity and asked curiously.

"Hi! When did Xiao Miao tell you?" Zhou Zhi felt strange. This girl had been with him all the time, so how could she have time to call two girls?

"Last night, we were planning to ask her out to go shopping on Fifth Avenue tonight, and she told us so."

"It's not like I got $100,000 for nothing. That bottle of alcohol is very expensive. There are only two bottles known in the world. I saw a large Longqing blue and white dragon-patterned jar with a rare glaze in Le Bernadin restaurant. The owner just put it on the decorative cabinet at the end of the restaurant without any protective measures. I asked my connections in New York to find the owner. The owner is in the catering business. He learned from my client that I had two bottles of rare Igon wine and proposed to exchange them." "But Igon is now worth $150,000 and there is still no market for it, while the Longqing blue and white jar is only 50,000, so the owner made up the difference of $100,000."

Zhang Siluo grabbed Zhou Zhi's arm and said, "I'll treat you! Let's go to Le Bernadin restaurant!"

Ikeda Qiu also held Zhou Zhi from the other side and said, "Prepare two small gifts for us tonight, otherwise we will encourage Xiao Miao to spend like crazy and not leave a penny of the 100,000 US dollars for you!"

When we arrived at Le Bernadin restaurant again, the lobby manager came over and greeted us with a smile as soon as he saw Zhou Zhi.

As for the fact that Zhou Zhi had two more beauties around him, the lobby manager pretended not to have any associations and said with a smile, "Mr. George, we meet again. There are two more beautiful ladies. Welcome."

"Sorry to bother you again, Mr. Spencer." The lobby manager was busy yesterday, and Zhou Zhi was so focused on the big jar that he didn't notice the man's name. He only read it from the name tag now.

"Oh, it's our honor to have you come again. The boss said that you are the most distinguished guest of our restaurant. So should I still arrange the same table for you three as yesterday?"

"OK, thanks."

Zhou Zhi soon understood why Spencer took them to the place yesterday. At the end of the hall, the antique medieval European cabinet where the large jars were placed yesterday had been removed and replaced by an exquisite display cabinet, the kind used in museums to display cultural relics. Inside the cabinet was a blue velvet table, and the bottle of Egon wine signed by the musician's wife lay quietly there, quietly accepting everyone's admiration.

Zhou Zhi reached out and touched the thick bulletproof glass covering the wine bottle stand. If the Longqing dragon-patterned jar saw this, he would probably cry out loud. The treatment was completely different.

But there's nothing I can do about it. The importance that people in the restaurant business attach to top-quality wine is exactly the same as the importance I attach to the Longqing dragon-patterned jar. As the saying goes, one man's poison is another man's honey. If I laugh at the restaurant owner for not knowing the treasure, the restaurant owner might even laugh at me for being stupid.

"Is this the bottle of wine?" Ikeda Ooka and Zhang Siluo gathered around the glass display cabinet and looked at it carefully. The bottle was plain, but the shape of the bottle and the naturally aged color of the sticker gave off a sense of age. Coupled with the careful light control of the cabinet, everyone could sense that it was somewhat extraordinary.

"Yes, this was originally a birthday gift from conductor Leopold Stokowski's wife. It has a special meaning because the birthday of this bottle of wine is the same year as the conductor's birthday, which is 1882." Zhou Zhi introduced to the two women: "It is also the best year for Egon wine. Before this bottle of wine was discovered, people thought it had been drunk long ago and became history, so was designated as the best year for Egon wine."

"So after our boss got the bottle of 82 Egon transferred by Mr. George, he immediately customized a special wine cabinet to store it here for display." Spencer also got a lot of benefits from this bottle of wine. He smiled and said, "The constant temperature, humidity and light control are to ensure that it has the best collection environment."

"We also bought a high-value theft insurance for it. It is our store's treasure." (End of this chapter)
