Emilia twisted Xiao Peng's waist secretly, she knew that Xiao Peng was going to cheat.
Although she didn't know how much the wine Xiao Peng drank, she knew that it was definitely not cheap, because her mother had this wine in her home collection.
Mrs. Sean often drinks red wine, so there are a variety of red wines in the house. The wine that can enter her wine cabinet must be good wine, and good wine usually means that it is not cheap!
Emilia is still relatively kind, and said directly to Austin: "Austin, forget it, this wine is not cheap."
Even though Austin and the others are excellent students at Harvard University, they are all proud of the sky, and their family background is also good, but after all, they are still young and they are not old enough to drink red wine. How do they know how expensive this wine is? In Austin's idea, the most expensive is only a few hundred dollars. You can't afford it, so why are you afraid of?
You know, in the ordinary life of Star-Tiao Country, buying a bottle of ordinary and better red wine is only 20 to 30 dollars. Austin listened to Emilia's words and smiled and said: "It's okay, just two bottles of wine. In order to celebrate the success of today's performance, it is worth the extra."
The waiter happily walked over with two bottles of wine. In the Star Tiao State-owned waiter's place, you need to pay a tip. The more advanced the waiter is, the higher the expectation of the tip.
Like a butcher shop bar, you can directly check out after ordering something. The waiter takes the bill and card first, returns the credit card after swiping the card, and the bill column that requires the customer to sign. This bill column has the consumption amount and the total amount of consumption and consumption required by the customer. The amount is then signed into effect. Customers can fill in the corresponding number in the tip amount column so that they can swipe their card together at checkout, or they can cross out this area, sign only the actual consumption amount, and pay the tip in cash, usually in the ledger or left On the table.
Xiao Peng has very little cash, so he just filled in a tip of two hundred dollars, which is very high. When I heard that there were two more bottles of Romani Conti, the waiters were about to sing and dance happily. This Nima is going to be sent! You know, I don’t even receive a tip of 20 dollars often here, usually only five dollars and ten dollars. Huaxia people give two hundred at once. This is really rich...
"Sir, please be sure. Is this the wine you need?" The waiter held the red wine in both hands and showed the wine label in front of Austin for him to look at it.
Austin took the red wine from the waiter seriously, looked at it and nodded: "Yes, that's it. This is the wine I want. Please bring me a decanter." Emilia said: "The red wine still has to be sobered before it tastes good."
When Di Wei heard what he said and remembered what Xiao Peng had just said about sobering up, he chuckles. Xiao Peng glared at him, and Di Wei hurriedly suppressed his laugh, waiting to see the joke.
Austin glanced at Di Wei, wondering what he was laughing at. The waiter put the wine aside and handed the bill to Austin. Austin took the bill and didn’t even look at it. He looked calm and light. With a big swipe, he crossed out the tip amount column, took out twenty dollars and credit card from his pocket, put it in the account book, and gave it to the waiter. Ying Sheng: "Please bring the decanter quickly."
The waiter looked at the twenty dollars in the ledger, alas, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. Seeing that he looks like a dog, how can he be so stingy compared to that Huaxia? But how can it be better than nothing? The waiter politely thanked him and turned away.
The waiter went to get the decanter, and Austin complacently said to Xiao Peng there, "Here we are, in such a service place, you have to tip, regardless of three dollars or five dollars, you have to give it. Of course, if you feel satisfied with the service, you have to tip more. Just like me, give him twenty dollars at once."
Xiao Peng said with an appearance of being taught: "Oh, that's how it is."
Di Wei covered her mouth and tried her best to stop laughing. This Austin is really funny!
The waiter brought the decanter, returned Austin's credit card, and asked, "Sir, do you want to drink now?"
Austin waved his hand: "Of course, both bottles are opened."
The waiter poured the wine into the decanter and left. Austin expressed affectionately to everyone:
Every bottle of red wine is a sleeping beauty. In this way, pour the wine into the decanter to promote the oxidation of the red wine and soften the content of the wine. The tannins make the sleeping beauty wake up from sleep, exuding the fragrance and beauty she should have, so that she can truly taste the beautiful taste of this red wine. Just pour it into the glass and drink it directly, it is no different from a cow. Peony, violent heavenly things." After finishing speaking, he gave Xiao Peng a triumphant glance, his face full of provocation.
Before Xiao Peng spoke, Austin's cell phone rang suddenly, and Austin made an apology gesture to everyone and connected the phone.
Well, you must show a good recuperation during this time.
On the phone was a woman's voice: "Hello, is this Mr. Gil Austin?"
"Well, I am." Austin replied, "Are you?"
"I'm a staff member of the "Discover" credit card company. Your credit card has transaction records just now. Is it your own consumption?" Austin's credit card is a "Discover" credit card. There are many credit card companies in Stars and Stripes, such as Stars and Stripes Bank Credit Cards, Citi Credit Cards, JP Morgan Chase Credit Cards, Barclays Cards, etc., but in the eyes of Stars and Stripes, the two most popular cards are the "Express" cards. And the "discover" card, these two cards account for more than 80% of the country's market share.
The secret to the success of these two bank cards is to show excellent efficiency in customer service. When the account is abnormal, it will be notified immediately. If there is a stolen credit card, it is basically solved by calling, which is better than Huaxia Credit Card. Too much. At present, Amex Card has begun to cooperate with Hua Xia Bank, and the next bank card to enter Hua Xia may be the "discovery" card.
Austin's mouth smiled: "What? Are you going to increase my credit limit again?"
The value of using a credit card in Stars and Stripes is not just as simple as the advancement of expenses. There is also a credit limit. When Austin first processed this discovery card, the limit was only 500 US dollars. After so many years, the credit limit has been increasing. , And now finally reached 40,000.
Don’t underestimate this line of credit. It’s extremely convenient to borrow money to buy a house here. Most people from Star Stripes get their housing in this way. On the contrary, if the borrowed money is not repaid, the line of credit will be lowered, which means that the cardholder is one Lipi, dishonest person, still want to borrow money to buy a house? Go to sleep!
Credit card is definitely very important here.
The voice from over the phone said, "Since you are the one who made the purchase, that's fine. Just now your credit card paid a fee at the butcher shop in Boston, Massachusetts. It was the consumption of two bottles of wine. That's right. Huh?"
Austin was a little puzzled: "Yes, what's the problem?"
"In that case, it's okay." The staff member who found the credit card said: "Because the amount of consumption just now was a bit large, we called to confirm it to prevent your credit card from being stolen."
Austin frowned and said, "Isn't it just the consumption of two bottles of wine? I have used a credit card for large purchases, and I haven't seen you call me to ask."
"Sorry, Mr. Austin, we are bothering you." The person who found the credit card company was very polite: "The point is that your previous credit card spending was only six thousand seven hundred and fifty-four dollars. You suddenly paid 29,400 US dollars today, which is a bit beyond your consumption habits, so we called for consultation. Since it is your own consumption, then it’s fine."
"How much do you say?" Austin jumped up from his chair, and everyone in the bar was staring at him.
I found the staff of the credit card company said: "29,400 U.S. dollars, of which the wine price is 28,000 U.S. dollars, plus 5% consumption tax, totaling 29,400 U.S. dollars. Since it is determined that you are personally consuming, then I won’t disturb your precious time, and I wish you a happy weekend.
After speaking, I found that the company staff hung up the phone very politely.
Austin stood there for a long time, and suddenly shouted to the waiter like a mad: "Waitress! Waiter!"
His voice not only summoned the waiter, the Harvard students sitting on the other side also heard the voice and ran over, thinking that there was a conflict between Austin and the others, but when he came here he saw Austin looking at the table. His decanter was trembling.
"Austin, are you okay?" Someone had a good relationship with Austin, and asked with concern when he saw Austin look like this. As a result, Austin seemed to have heard nothing, just staring at the wine in the decanter with a dull face.
The waiter came over and said to Austin: "Sir, may I ask you to find me? I don't know what's the matter?"
Austin came back to his senses: "What kind of wine is this? How much is it?"
The waiter was taken aback, but still answered truthfully: "This is the Romanie Conti in 2008. The original price was US$14,199. Because you bought a bottle today, our boss specially gave you US$199 cheaper, and only charged you 14 thousand. US dollars."
Austin stared at the waiter: "When would I have such expensive wine?"
The waiter said: "You said that you want two bottles of exactly the same wine, and the one you drank at this table just now is the Romanie Conti from 2008. The bottle is still here. I didn't take it wrong!"
"Schet! Then you didn't tell me that this wine is so expensive!" Austin roared.
The waiter was not angry either: "Sir, I handed the bill to you. You signed the payment after you read it. We also showed you the drinks first, and you confirmed it. We have it here. The camera records the whole process, you can’t push things on us!"
"Shet Shet Shet!" Austin waved his fists like crazy, and the waiter took a step back in fright.
Xiao Peng said at this time: "Mr. Austin, please keep calm."
Austin turned his gaze to Xiao Peng: "It's you! This is all your ghost!"
