"In the end, because of some personal matters, it has been delayed until now. So, this glass of wine is my punishment."
After saying that, President Zhao brought the wine glass to his mouth and poured it into his mouth without any hesitation.
The wine glass was so full that it was about to overflow. A mushroom-like head appeared on the rim of the glass. It was the size of a paper cup, and it was at least 50 grams of white wine.
However, President Zhao drank it in one gulp without a sound. Everyone was shocked and cursed in their hearts.
After drinking, President Zhao put down the glass and filled it to the brim. He raised it again and said with a smile,
"Ah, then this second glass is to thank the legendary Chairman of the Dinglong Group, Boss Ye, for giving me some face and coming to this banquet. This is my honor, so this glass of wine is a toast to Boss Ye to show my respect."
After saying that, President Zhao retracted his gaze and looked at Ye Xuan's face. He raised his glass and said,
"Boss Ye, I'll drink it. You can use tea in place of wine. Feel free!"
After saying that, he raised his glass and downed 50 grams of white wine. Ye Xuan couldn't help but admire him.
He quickly raised his glass and downed it to show his respect.
Thinking about it, people like President Zhao and the others often relied on social interactions to make a living in Tianjing's business world. They used alcohol as a weapon to discuss business, and with some of their own methods, they were able to expand their businesses to such a large scale. Although they weren't considered as the top five tycoons in Tianjing, they were still first-rate enterprises. Naturally, their alcohol tolerance was high, but their health was also weak.
After downing the glass, President Zhao filled it to the brim again. Then, he raised his glass and looked at the CEOs. He smiled and said,
"This third glass of wine is to thank everyone for coming. Some CEOs even traveled thousands of miles to come here. I, Zhao, am truly grateful. At the same time, I wish that our business will prosper in the future. I wish everyone good health and harmonious families. Let's create glory together in the future!"
When the CEOs heard this, they immediately stood up. Each of them raised a glass of wine that was the same size as President Zhao's. Then, they raised their glasses in unison and shouted,
"Let's create glory together!!"
As soon as he finished speaking, his Adam's apple moved up and down, and he finished the drink in one gulp. After finishing the drink, many of the bosses who could not hold their liquor well immediately turned red. Most of their eyes were bloodshot, and they shook their heads left and right to blow air. They looked terrible.
After all, white wine was different from beer, and it had a degree of 56%. After drinking one or two taels, the throat would be unbearably spicy, and the stomach wouldn't be able to take it either. This was before the aftereffects kicked in.
However, even though they felt uncomfortable, they didn't think much of it. They had traveled thousands of miles to attend this banquet just to eat and drink? Of course not.
Naturally, it was to build a good relationship with the bosses of Tianjing's first-rate business enterprises. While he was at it, he could also get to know them and expand his network of contacts and the road ahead for his business.
A cup of wine in exchange for it was really nothing.
Furthermore, there was an important guest today. He was the chairman of China's leading enterprise, Dinglong Group, Ye Xuan, Boss Ye. To be able to meet and chat with Boss Ye here was to let everyone drink three cups in a row like President Zhao. Even if they drank until they had gastric bleeding, it was the most cost-effective thing to do.
One had to know that in the past, when they were discussing business, they drank until they had to go to the hospital. The profit they brought was only around ten million yuan.
Ye Xuan looked at everyone's huge volume of drinks and was shocked, but he didn't say anything. Now that President Zhao, the host of the banquet, had already expressed his stance, as a special guest, he naturally had to stand up and say a few words.
"The bosses who are familiar with me know that I can't drink wine in my current state, so I'll use tea as a substitute for wine. I hope that all of you can forgive me. It's an honor to be invited to this banquet by President Zhao. Here, I'll say a few simple words.
"Firstly, I would like to thank everyone for your recognition of me and your trust in our Cauldron Corporation. Our corporation has been around for so many years, and we have seen too many bloody storms in the business world. We have experienced too much of the fickleness of society."
"We are not interested in the mud on the muddy road, and we have no intention of molding it. Similarly, we will not reach out to destroy the wild flowers on the bright road that are slightly stained with mud and water. This journey has been simple, and we will come back the way we came.
"The scenery along the way has been very beautiful and exciting. Many people have asked me about the management of the company and the direction of the company's future. However, our journey has been very tiring, sad, and painful, just like many of you.
"The only difference is that I feel that trust, responsibility, responsibility, and honesty are the things that many businessmen don't think highly of. They are the keys to reaching the end."
"This is also the reason why all of you are here, and the reason why I am here. I think all of you should drink this glass."
Ye Xuan smiled slightly, then raised the glass and drank the orange juice in one gulp. Then, he narrowed his eyes and looked at everyone, as if he was monitoring them.
After all, the weight of this glass was far heavier than any of the previous glasses. It was as heavy as a thousand pounds of gold and as heavy as Mount Tai.
Because once this glass of wine was drunk, it meant that everyone here would be on Ye Xuan's side and the Dinglong Group's side in the future.
This side did not mean that they could do business with the Dinglong Group, nor could they be acquainted with the chairman of Dinglong Group.
It meant that once they drank this glass of wine, if any of the bosses here did not adhere to the businessman's key that Ye Xuan had mentioned, then Dinglong Group would take action against them.
Everyone knew very well where this meant.
