Hao Sen was a smart person. He didn't show any expression and sent Princess Tana back.
After sending the princess away, Gu Zheng was a little relieved. It was an international joke that the princess of a European royal family wanted to spend the night with him. Who knew if there were reporters nearby? If it was exposed, he couldn't explain it clearly.
Gu Zheng was not a hermit who cultivated in seclusion. He still cared a lot about the influence of the secular world.
Early the next morning, Gu Zheng arrived at the venue. Except for Guterrand and John Junior, everyone else was there. John Junior could forget about entering this circle. Guterrand had been disqualified from this event, so he would not come.
"Guterrand has informed me that he will transfer the ownership of the winery to me soon. Do you want the ownership of half of the winery, or do you want to sell it directly? Don't worry, if you want to sell it, I will definitely give you a satisfactory price!"
Sir Brown was in a good mood today. When he saw Gu Zheng, he asked. He had promised to give half of the winery that Guterrand lost yesterday to Gu Zheng, so he wanted to ask now.
"Sir Brown, can you give me the winery? Can I give you the money?"
After thinking about it, Gu Zheng suddenly said. France's red wine was world-famous. He was also interested in the Bordeaux winery.
Although the red wine was not as good as the immortal wine, it had a unique taste. Gu Zheng was also thinking about whether he could improve the red wine and make it taste better and more beautiful.
"You want the winery?"
Sir Brown was surprised. He thought that Gu Zheng would keep half of the shares, so that he could have dividends. The winery was profitable every year, although the profit was not very much.
He also thought that Gu Zheng would liquidate the winery and take the money away. After all, half a winery was not a small amount of money. This amount of money was enough for anyone in Huaxia to live comfortably for the rest of their lives. In other words, this amount of money was something that many people could not earn in their entire lives.
There were both possibilities, but he did not expect that Gu Zheng would ask for the winery.
"If you want it, it's not impossible, but I have a condition!"
Sir Brown hesitated for a while and finally agreed. But he also made a request of his own.
"My condition is very simple. I hope that you can continue to help me here next year, and we can continue to work together!"
Sir Brown quickly stated his conditions. He already knew that Gu Zheng's culinary skills were really good. Yesterday's performance had already shocked everyone, so he hoped to continue working together next year.
It could be said that with Gu Zheng around, it was impossible for him to lose. It was a sure win.
"As long as I'm still in the secular world next year, and still in Huaxia, I'll come and help you!"
Gu Zheng didn't think for long before he agreed. It wasn't impossible for him to come back next year, but the prerequisite was that he had to still be here. With his cultivation speed, he would definitely be able to advance into the Immortal Cultivator Realm next year. He didn't know where that would be.
It could be in Emei, or it could be in other places, or it could even be in the Primitive Space.
"Deal!"
Sir Brown and Gu Zheng clapped their hands. As for what Gu Zheng said about being in Huaxia and the secular world, he didn't care at all. He thought that it was a joke from Gu Zheng. After all, if he wasn't in Huaxia, where else could he be?
If he wasn't in Huaxia, he would still be in the secular world overseas.
Of course, Gu Zheng's secular world was said in English. The understanding might be slightly different, but it didn't affect the general meaning.
Sir Brown agreed, but Gu Zheng still had to pay the money. The current market value of the winery was 35 million euros, and Gu Zheng still had to prepare 17.5 million euros for Sir Brown.
Fortunately, Gu Zheng didn't need to take the 5% that he gave to the Food Association. Sir Brown generously said that he would pay it himself.
As soon as the event began, Sir Brown went to challenge others. The first time, he was quickly rejected. Knowing how powerful Gu Zheng was, many people were unwilling to gamble with Sir Brown again and avoided him.
Those who were found by Sir Brown still sighed at their bad luck, but it was just a thought. These people all understood that they would be found by Sir Brown sooner or later, unless their luck was especially heaven-defying.
The nobles had a total of ten days to play the game. If others refused, Sir Brown could only find three people at most. Ten days was 30 people. Excluding John Junior and Guteran, there were very few people who could not be chosen by Sir Brown.
When it was over, it was estimated that most people would be challenged by him. Some people had even prepared gifts. As long as Sir Brown came to challenge them, they would directly refuse to give gifts.
"Agreed?"
After getting a gift, Sir Brown was very satisfied and walked to another person. This was a prince from the Middle East. What Sir Brown didn't expect was that the prince directly agreed to Sir Brown's challenge.
He actually agreed. Not to mention Sir Brown, the others were also very surprised.
Everyone had drunk Gu Zheng's Chicken Blood Soup yesterday, so they all knew how it tasted. Their chefs couldn't make it at all. It was simply a top-notch delicacy. The Prince of the Middle East agreed. If he wasn't stupid, then his chef was very powerful. He had the confidence to win against Gu Zheng.
No matter what the situation was, for the others, there would be a good show to watch.
"I want your team's shares!"
The Middle East prince quickly said what he wanted to bet. Sir Brown raised his head and looked at him in surprise.
Sir Brown owned 30% of the shares of a French Ligue 1 team. These shares were not a small number. They were worth 60 million, which was much more valuable than the winery he bet on yesterday.
Moreover, the team he owned shares in was currently doing very well. This year's league tournament had hopes of winning the championship and had already qualified for the Champions League.
This team was also one of the most valuable assets in Sir Brown's hands.
Sir Brown hesitated. It was not that he didn't believe in Gu Zheng, but the team's shares were very important to him. He was a fan of the team. When the team was in trouble, he helped the team and got the team's shares. He promised the team and the fans that unless he went bankrupt, he would never sell the team's shares.
It was because of this promise that he hesitated.
"Your Highness, can we change the bet to something else of the same value?"
After a while, Sir Brown said that he was a person who respected promises, so he didn't want to gamble with the team's shares. Although gambling was not selling, strictly speaking, it was not a violation of the promise.
"No, I only want the team's shares!"
The Middle East prince shook his head. He insisted on the team's shares. If Sir Brown did not want to gamble, he could only give up the challenge.
Because he was the one who initiated the challenge, not the one who accepted it. If he refused now, he would have to pay half the value of the other side's proposed bet. In other words, if he wanted to give up, he would have to give the other side 30 million euros.
Obviously, he couldn't accept this result.
The others also noticed Brown's dilemma, especially those who knew Brown well.
"Does this guy know about Brown's promise, so he deliberately used this to embarrass him?"
"It's possible. After all, Brown made a public promise at the beginning. Many people know about it!"
"This guy is so bad. Brown is in a difficult position now!"
"I like this prince. He should embarrass Brown like this. Let's see if he dares to continue to be arrogant and challenge everywhere!"
Many people were talking about it. Gu Zheng did not know about Brown, but he could understand after asking around. The person he was inquiring about was Princess Tana, who was also here today.
"Brown has such a promise, which proves that he is not a bad person!"
Gu Zheng secretly nodded in his heart. He promised the team and the fans that he would never sell his shares in the future unless he went bankrupt. This meant that the shares would always stay in his hands. Even if they were rotten, he would not sell them.
In this way, both the team and the fans would be at ease and the team could operate normally.
Gu Zheng looked at the Middle East prince again. To be exact, he looked at the chef behind him.
The Middle East prince was the chef of their royal family. He was the most famous chef in the Middle East. The chef looked very ordinary on the surface, but the dishes were really good.
If not, he would not have entered the royal family and become the exclusive chef.
The political situation in the Middle East was somewhat different from that in Europe. Many royal families enjoyed real power. That was to say, some of them were still implementing a dictatorship or a semi-dictatorship system. The royal family had great power, unlike in Europe, where the royal family was just a symbol.
In this way, their royal chef was more valuable.
"Sir Brown, promise him that if he loses, I will pay half of the breach of contract!"
Gu Zheng suddenly said to Sir Brown. The so-called breach of contract was something that could not be sold or given away. If he lost, he would have to pay double the value of the breach of contract. For example, Sir Brown's shares in the team were worth 60 million euros. If Sir Brown lost and did not want to pay these shares, he would have to pay 120 million euros in breach of contract to the other side.
As for reneging, it was impossible. The people here were not allowed to renege. If he reneged, everyone would attack him. With so many people together, he would go bankrupt.
Brown turned his head and looked at Gu Zheng in surprise. Finally, he turned back and said to the Middle East prince, "I promise, I want 10% of the shares in the Lotus Oil Field under your name!"
Brown agreed and put forward his own request. The Middle East prince had three oil fields under his name. The Lotus Oil Field was a medium-sized one. Even if it was medium-sized, its market value was 500 to 600 million euros.
One-tenth of the shares was worth 50 to 60 million euros. Both sides had equal stakes, so there was nothing wrong with it.
The stakes could not be casually asked for. You could only ask for as much as the other party asked for. It could not be too little or too much. Otherwise, if the other party asked for something that was worth a few million, how could you ask for something that was worth more than 100 million?
After the bet was completed, the match between the two sides was about to begin.
"Mr. Gu Zheng, if you win this time, we will split the stakes equally. Good luck!"
Just like yesterday, Brown gave half of the stakes to Gu Zheng. This time, he was completely willing to give it. After all, Gu Zheng was willing to help him bear half of the breach of contract.
Sir Brown did not know if Gu Zheng had so much money, but he knew that Gu Zheng had a very profitable industry in China. In addition, he had a very good relationship with a top family in China. 50 to 60 million euros was not a problem.
The other party was cooking Middle Eastern cuisine. Gu Zheng specially identified the other party's ingredients. The other party's ingredients were actually ordinary, and the rest were second-grade.
With the power of a country, and with how rich they were, it was not surprising that they had so many high-grade ingredients.
The ingredients were not bad, but unfortunately, Gu Zheng's ingredients were all ordinary. In other words, there were no ingredients lower than ordinary. In terms of ingredients, Gu Zheng won.
As for culinary skills, Gu Zheng believed that even if the other party was an immortal chef, they could not compare to Gokusen's culinary skills. Gu Zheng had absolute confidence in his culinary skills.
In terms of ingredients and culinary skills, Gu Zheng had the advantage. He also had the help of immortal energy. This meant that he had the advantage. There was no possibility of him losing. Even if the other party played tricks, it would not work unless they could hide it from Gu Zheng.
Gu Zheng was a cultivator at the late stage of the fifth layer. His strength was already comparable to a beginner cultivator. It was impossible for them to play tricks in front of him. Therefore, Gu Zheng had absolute confidence that he would definitely win this time.
What Gu Zheng made this time was fish, immortal fish from the primitive space.
The fish was ordinary, and the accompanying immortal dish was ordinary. All the ingredients were ordinary. The fish was divided into two portions, and then one portion was sent out for the judges to taste.
This time, Gu Zheng made the first one.
After tasting Gu Zheng's immortal fish, all the judges nodded. Gu Zheng did not let them down. The food he made this time was also a top delicacy. Even though they had been judges for so many years, they had never eaten such delicious fish.
Among the fish they had eaten, Gu Zheng's fish this time could be said to be the best.
The Middle Eastern chef's dish was quickly served. The judges also nodded.
This Middle Eastern chef's skills were indeed very high. He was much better than the Egyptian chef yesterday. In Huaxia, if he participated in the Huaxia Gourmet Competition, he would definitely be in the top three. He might even get first place.
Unfortunately, his opponent was Gu Zheng, the number one with the highest amount of gold.
In the end, he lost. He was not convinced and made a request to taste the food made by Gu Zheng.
This request was rejected by the judges. If they did not believe it, they could ask for a reconsideration, but they would not let him taste it alone. The Middle Eastern Prince gave up the reconsideration and was willing to admit defeat.
This was the first time the Middle Eastern Prince had participated in this event. He understood that if the reconsideration failed, he might not be able to integrate into this circle in the future. His loss would be too great.
He would rather admit defeat than have a reconsideration. Besides, he had tasted Gu Zheng's food yesterday and knew that Gu Zheng was indeed very strong.
There was another point. He did know Sir Brown's original promise, so he took the opportunity to fight back. If Sir Brown gave up, he would win without a fight and get 30 million for free. If Sir Brown agreed, he would let his chef compete with Gu Zheng. There was still hope for him to win.
Unfortunately, in the end, it was a result he did not want.
Two battles in two days, all won, and the bet reached 90 million euros. Sir Brown could no longer control himself and grinned.
90 million Euros. Even if he gave half of it to Gu Zheng, he would still have more than 40 million Euros. This was a huge harvest, one that was greater than any of the previous events. With such a harvest, he was basically set to be the biggest winner of this event.
