Chapter 1153 They Ordered Eight Million Jars!!!
“The Pear Garden, 100,000 jars!”
Meng Lingyun said with a smile.
Fang Qiu immediately turned around and saluted Meng Lingyun and Yun Yangzi.
As the host of the wine tasting party, Fang Qiu would express his thanks with a salute whenever each force placed an order.
“Brother John Doe.”
As soon as Meng Lingyun’s voice fell, the middle-aged man sitting alone at the Sword Sect table stood up, saluted Fang Qiu and said, “I want 200,000 jars!”
He Gaoming quickly wrote it down.
Fang Qiu expressed his gratitude to him with a salute.
There was fierce competition among the various Wulin forces, but Fang Qiu thought of each order as their support for his business, so it was common courtesy to thank them with a salute.
By now, all the forces made up of various sizes had finished placing their orders.
“Give me 10,000 jars!”
Sword Fanatic, who had remained silent throughout the party, suddenly spoke up and placed his order for the wine.
He ordered 10,000 jars. This was not a small number.
......Sword Fanatic, after all, was an individual cultivator, which meant the 10,000 jars he ordered would eventually end up in his belly. Even if some other forces booked 100,000 or 200,000 jars of wine, each member could only get dozens or hundreds of jars at most. It was obvious that Sword Fanatic was not someone who would stint on himself!
After Sword Fanatic, many other individual cultivators were scrambling to place their orders.
The middle-aged man who shared a table with Sword Fanatic, who broke through after drinking only one cup of wine, immediately ordered 8,000 jars. How he wished he had the money to buy more.
Each of the other cultivators who did not belong to any force ordered at least a hundred jars each.
They finished tallying up the number of orders.
“Can I get ten jars?”
“I want five jars and I’ll pay cash for them.”
“Could you please give me one jar to try? If that doesn’t work, one cup will do.”
In the crowd, several people suddenly got up and shouted.
It was the moment they had been waiting for.
After all, they had coveted the wine for such a long time. How could they miss this great opportunity when they finally had a chance to buy it?
“Don’t worry, everyone.”
Seeing this, Fang Qiu quickly said, “To tell you the truth, we don’t have much Heaven Dew in our hands, so we can only give priority to the forces. But I promise Heaven Dew will be available to all of you in the future. I hope you can understand and be prepared to wait for some time.”
Fang Qiu turned to look at He Gaoming and asked, “How much is the total?”
At this time, He Gaoming had just finished adding up the figures.
The total number of all the orders was more than three million jars!
He Gaoming couldn’t help gasping when he saw the total number.
Instead of feeling excited, he instantly felt distressed and was about to cry.
“Three million jars are equivalent to three million catties!
“Where can we get so much wine?”
He Gaoming handed the paper with the total number to Fang Qiu.
Fang Qiu took a look and smiled wryly.
The onlookers downstairs had been waiting for a long time to buy the wine. When they heard, they realized that they still couldn’t get the wine.
This time, they felt utterly distressed.
It caused some protests and indignation among the crowd.
After scanning all the orders, Fang Qiu saluted everyone and said, “Thank you all for coming, my honorary guests! I didn’t expect to receive so many orders, more than three million jars. It’s almost impossible for us to produce so much wine instantly. So I hope we can fulfill the orders as soon as possible. If there’s any delay, please forgive us and wait patiently.”
“Three million jars?”
Many people on the first floor were ready to reason with them, some of whom had even kicked up a fuss. But when they heard the large number of orders, they were instantly dismayed.
In the first place, John Doe did not invite them to participate. They came uninvited to his party. Besides, John Doe did not put a price on his wine or left them on display for everyone to buy. And, above all, they were not able to place a big order and could buy merely one jar, five jars, or ten jars. Why would John Doe care about their small orders?
Furthermore, it was indeed not suitable to kick up a fuss in front of all the forces and experts in Wulin.
With these thoughts in mind, these people had no choice but to give up and wait for the day when John Doe officially retailed Heaven Dew.
Besides these onlookers, the other people from forces of different strength also nodded their heads in agreement.
“Well,” Fang Qiu said after a brief pause, “Given the large orders from each major force, I’ll deliver the wine to you in batches, ten percent at a time. In this way, all of you can get some wine within a short period of time. I believe that the second batch will reach you before you are done enjoying the first batch.”
“But a deposit of 50% is required, is that alright with you all?”
His request stunned everyone, who then burst into laughter.
“No problem.”
Diwu Mingchuan laughed out loud.
“Young man, if you can sell the whole first batch of wine to me, apart from the 50% deposit, I will even give you twice as much.” Elder Zhan came up with a tempting offer.
“Thank you so much for that, Senior, but I’m a trustworthy businessman.”
Fang Qiu thanked him with a salute and smiled.
The others burst out laughing and all of them agreed to Fang Qiu’s proposal.
“I appreciate what you’ve done, Seniors.”
Fang Qiu thanked everyone.
Sure enough!
They couldn’t make three million catties of wine without having a certain amount of money, so Fang Qiu had to get the deposit first. Anyway, his customers could put up with the requirement because Heaven Dew was good enough. If any of them didn’t pay the deposit, he would be the last one to get the wine!
“Serve the wine!”
Fang Qiu waved his hand again.
They had prepared 100 jars for this wine tasting party, and there were 46 jars left.
Fang Qiu certainly didn’t take out all the 46 jars of wine.
Even if he wanted to do that, He Gaoming and others couldn’t bear it.
In the end, He Gaoming and his brothers took out 16 jars of wine and served all the distinguished guests.
Those martial arts practitioners watching them could hardly sit still and itched to buy some, but they couldn’t even get one. No force, large or small, was willing to share one cup with others, let alone He Gaoming and others.
It took all of them another half an hour to finish the 16 jars of wine.
After drinking all the wine, they got up and left one by one.
Everyone was very satisfied with the liquor!
Although 70 jars of wine were a little too meagre for the more than 70 Wulin experts, this wine was unusually delicious and beneficial. At the end of the party, each invited guest had drunk almost a catty of wine. As soon as the liquor took effect, everyone’s faces were flushed. Obviously, Heaven Dew was stronger than ordinary liquors.
They left in twos and threes, intending to have a short gathering by themselves.
Fang Qiu ensured that no guests were neglected as he sent each of them out of the inn.
All the guests left.
At last, all the brothers could relax. In the hall of the inn, they rushed to see the notebook which had the orders recorded in He Gaoming’s hand.
All of them exclaimed excitedly.
In their eyes, the book containing the wine orders was akin to a nice fat cheque!
They were blown away by wild pleasure!
“Ding!”
Fang Qiu’s cell phone suddenly rang.
It was a text message.
He took out his mobile
