Chapter 477 List of Gold Awards
As Lu Li said, they are now "big celebrities", and their every move attracts attention. The blatant gazes are gradually decreasing, and there are quite a lot of secretly scrutinizing gazes. However, Lu Li and the three of them don't care, and they find a place contentedly. They stopped, chatted happily, and waited for the organizer to announce the final list of winners.

There are more than 8000 entries in the Brussels Wine Competition this year, and only about 30.00% of them can win prizes. According to the scores, they are divided into big gold medals, gold medals, and silver prizes. There is no limit to the number of each grade, just according to the judges’ fair scores. To divide and unify the awards.

After waiting for a while, the bustling voices gradually subsided, and everyone turned their gazes in the same direction. Tony was the most excited, and couldn't help standing on tiptoe, trying to look over the crowd, and then turned his head He said to Lu Li and Fred with a smile, "Fourteen guessed it right! They really chose the bulletin board and wrote it all by hand."

Fred turned his head and looked at Lu Li in surprise, "How do you know?"

Just now the three of them were discussing in what form the list of winners would be announced. Fred thought it must be in the form of a slideshow and announced on the big screen, and then everyone could check the list on the computer; Tony thought there would be When the host came out, the ranks were slowly announced one by one; Lu Li thought they would handwrite or print out the list and post it on the bulletin board for everyone to find out by themselves.

Unexpectedly, they actually chose the most primitive and simple way.

In fact, the announcement of the winners is more of a ceremony.Simple calculation, about 30.00% of the wineries can win the award, that is about [-] wineries, listed into a list and announced, it must be an extremely long scroll, in which to find the location of your own winery, it is absolutely impossible. Not easy.

Therefore, the organizing committee's announcement of the list is similar to the release of the imperial examinations in the past, so that everyone can watch together, and the sense of ritual is better than its own meaning.After the results are announced, each award-winning winery will be notified individually, and then a certificate will be issued to confirm that the winery can add the award-winning logo to its label.

Today, the announcement of the winners has been endowed with a different meaning, "Chateau Ducasse VS Chateau Yunding", presumably many people present want to join in the fun.What's more, those who bet are also expecting an outcome.Therefore, the release of the list has become more lively.

Involuntarily, Lu Li chuckled. He didn't expect that the organizing committee would actually choose such an old-fashioned way to announce the results, which invisibly added more drama to their duel.

This competition is not only based on international standards, but also has an open threshold. The goal of the selection is to select wines that are consistently suitable for the tastes of the global public. Logically speaking, the organizing committee should be relatively open-minded and relatively young.In fact, the way of doing things still follows the old-fashioned way of doing things.Is this a good thing or a bad thing for Yunding Winery?
"That's not the point. The point is, I don't know how long the list of winners is. Searching for the name of our winery is like looking for a needle in a haystack. What if I don't find it after searching all over?" Lu Li's counter-question immediately made Fred Dumbfounded, "Tell me, do they arrange the list according to the score, or in alphabetical order?"

"Uh..." Fred didn't know how to answer.

At this time, the crowd came forward in an orderly manner to check the announced list of winners. Tony turned around and jumped around excitedly, "They pushed a total of three bulletin boards over, which should be of different levels. The list of winners is announced, announced, announced, and the result has been announced!" Tony was nervous and excited, exhaling and inhaling constantly, trying to calm himself down, "Huh, huh... how about it, get ready ?"

"I'm ready, but I'm not sure, are you ready?" Lu Li was still in the mood to joke at this moment, but Fred and Tony started to get nervous and couldn't laugh at all. The two looked confused, and the smile on the corner of Lu Li's mouth rose even more, "Tony, tell me, what level can we get? Which list should we start from?"

This understatement revealed Lu Li's strong confidence: more than 70.00% of the wines could not win awards and could not be posted on the bulletin board, but Lu Li's tone revealed a certainty, and he had no doubts about Yunding Winery. of wines can be included in the list.

Lu Li's question made Tony choke, his breath stopped in his chest, and he didn't recover for a long time. He thought about this question seriously: big gold award, gold award, silver award, which list should we start with?What kind of awards can Yunding Winery win?
Starting with a big gold medal with confidence?Or start with a gold medal down-to-earth?Or start with a silver medal in a low-key way?More importantly, in case, one in a million possibilities, after reading all three lists seriously, Yunding Winery is not on the list, that would be a real embarrassment.Not to mention losing the duel, then you really lost your bottom pants.

Tony has absolute confidence in the wines of Yunding Winery.But he is a professional winemaker, and he also knows that regardless of the completely different tastes of different people for the time being, the wines of Yunding Winery are still too young after all, not to mention five or ten years, at least not too old. It takes two or three years to produce a reason.

Objectively speaking, those who like it will applaud it, and those who hate it will reject it thousands of miles away.According to this logic, is it more reliable to start with the gold medal to calculate the average score?Or... a silver medal?Anyway, can you still be cautious on the list and enter the ranks of 30.00%?
"...How about we start with the silver medal?" Tony said cautiously.

What he didn't say is that if the starting point is set as the Grand Gold Award from the very beginning, it is impossible to go up further, it can only go down. step back.The problem is that their every move today is under the attention of everyone, and there are quite a few people who want to see their jokes. If the layers are down, even if Yunding Winery is really on the gold medal list or silver medal list , it is estimated that this attitude of retreating steadily will still be reduced to a laughing stock.

Seeing Tony's cautious appearance, Lu Li couldn't help laughing, "I thought you'd just choose the highest level to start. However, I'm a layman in this area, and you are an expert. If you say silver, then go for silver." Bar."

So, Lu Li and his group walked towards the bulletin board for the silver award.

The footsteps stopped in front of the bulletin board, and before they started to look up, they heard a burst of laughter from the side, followed the sound, and then saw William and his party, and there were several people in suits and leather shoes standing beside them. The middle-aged man also looked like the owner of the winery. They laughed together and walked straight towards the big gold medal without saying anything, full of confidence and determination.

Needless to say, the contempt and ridicule is already very clear.

"They!" Tony felt upset for a while, and wanted to go forward to argue, but Lu Li said unhurriedly, "They are a well-known top winery, and we are just starting out. Famous winery, it is our honor that they want to argue with us." The subtext is their price drop.

Interpreting it in this way, things seem to have changed. Tony was stunned for a while, and then heard a chuckle from around him. He looked around, and there were good-natured smiles on all the faces. , even with it, he couldn't help laughing.

After laughing happily, Lu Li raised his head and browsed the bulletin board in front of him. The list is not in alphabetical order, but whether it is arranged according to the score or not. It was very difficult, because everything in front of me was in French.

French, to Lu Li, is like a bible.

It is written at the top of the list that a total of 770 wineries have won silver awards. Just a cursory glance will make people dazzled, not to mention that it is written in French, which makes people dizzy even more.

Lu Li originally wanted to take a quick peek to see if any wineries he was familiar with had won the silver award, but now, he didn't care about it at all. He kept looking for the name of "Yunding Winery" wholeheartedly.

Lu Li scanned from the beginning, Tony scanned back from the end, and Fred was responsible for finding the initial letter. The three of them searched carefully, but found nothing. They exchanged glances to confirm, but they didn't know whether it was good news or bad news. News, Tony's expression became uncontrollably deep.

Lu Li was the calmest. He patted Tony on the shoulder, "Don't scare yourself until you know the result. Let's go, I'll go and see the list of gold awards."

The three of them walked towards the list of gold medals on the left, and saw William and his party in the crowd at a glance. Jack was a little anxious, William was a little deep, and Brian was frowning. It can be judged from their expressions that they are in the crowd. The name of Château Ducasse was not found in the list of gold awards.

The surrounding sight suddenly became meaningful, and almost everyone was sure that Dukas Winery would win the Grand Gold Award and crush Yunding Winery strongly, but now something went wrong.

Objectively speaking, the range from 88 to 95:[-] is a gold medal. The wines of Chateau Ducas last year and the year before were all gold medals. It is quite normal for them to come to this area at this time.It's just that they have moved towards the big gold award with a high profile from the beginning, coupled with the uproarious duel, people's expectations will inevitably rise. Now seeing William starting to "degrade", it will naturally become complicated.

Relatively speaking, Yunding Winery, which started to keep a low profile, has actually risen to the gold medal. The atmosphere of the scene is really delicate between this rise and fall. More and more attentions are gathered. This duel is becoming more and more interesting.
