Chapter 349: Chapter 349: Three Seconds Down Again_1
Having made up his mind, Gou Liangyang immediately asked the waiter to bring over beer glasses and slowly poured two glasses of Moutai, each glass containing about two and a half ounces.
"Assistant Qin, let’s take the first one!"
Gou Liangyang picked up his glass, tilted his head back, and gulped down the baijiu until the glass was completely empty, not leaving a single drop.
"I’ll drink first to show my respect. Assistant Qin, please go ahead!" Gou Liangyang pointed to the other glass of baijiu and said with a smile.
"Minister Gou, Mrs. Yu came here tonight to discuss a loan with you. We haven’t even started the negotiation yet, and you’re already plying me with alcohol. If we both get drunk, how are we supposed to talk?"
"Didn’t I say just now? As long as you and Mrs. Yu together can drink me under the table, I’ll approve a loan of ten billion for you tomorrow!"
"Is Minister Gou’s word good as gold?"
"A gentleman’s agreement is as fast as a hitched horse!"
"Alright then!"
After getting a definite answer from Gou Liangyang, Qin Feng didn’t fuss about it anymore. He picked up his glass and drank it all in one go.
Qin Feng was able to finish the first glass in one gulp, which didn’t surprise Gou Liangyang.
After all, that glass was only two and a half ounces. Anyone with even a bit of drinking capacity could take it down in one shot.
To strike while the iron was hot and quickly get Qin Feng drunk, Gou Liangyang poured another two full glasses.
"Assistant Qin, you can really hold your liquor. I’ll toast you another one."
Gou Liangyang tilted his head back and downed another glass of Moutai. Drinking Moutai for him was like drinking plain water, and having ten or eight glasses like this would at most make him slightly dizzy. He was far from being drunk.
"Minister Gou, such huge capacity!"
Qin Feng complimented politely and then picked up his glass and drank it all in one go.
After two glasses, Qin Feng intentionally steadied himself on the table as if feeling the effects, seemingly on the verge of drunkenness.
This act made Gou Liangyang secretly happy, thinking that this young man’s tolerance was quite average! With just two glasses down, he looked like he was about to give out.
So, Gou Liangyang graciously poured two more glasses and said, "There isn’t a ceremony without three. It’s custom to drink at least three glasses for a toast. Assistant Qin, I hope you won’t let me down."
Gou Liangyang tilted his head and swallowed the third glass of baijiu like drinking water.
Qin Feng picked up the third glass, swaying as he spoke, "Minister Gou, aren’t we rushing through the drinks a bit? We can’t just drink; we should eat some food too, shouldn’t we? Drinking on an empty stomach will get us drunk very quickly."
"Sure! After this third glass, we’ll eat."
Gou Liangyang wanted to coax Qin Feng into drinking the third glass, as he had no intention of giving Qin Feng the chance to eat. To get someone drunk, you can’t give them any room to breathe.
After finishing the third glass, Gou Liangyang immediately poured the fourth.
...
Soon, there were four empty bottles of Moutai on the table, each having drunk two jin.
Qin Feng was still swaying, looking drunk but not collapsing.
As for Gou Liangyang, after drinking two jin, his head was already spinning.
It was only then that Gou Liangyang realized Qin Feng had been feigning his drunkenness, because if Qin Feng had started feeling woozy after the second glass, there was no way he could have drunk this much without falling over.
While Qin Feng wasn’t paying attention, Gou Liangyang discreetly added ’three-second knockout drops’ to Qin Feng’s glass as he poured the drink.
These drops, which he had purchased at a high price from the Capital’s Lingfang Pavilion, were something he seldom used. He would only sneak some out to use during a drinking game when he couldn’t win.
With the ’three-second knockout drops’ in hand, there was no one Gou Liangyang couldn’t drink under the table.
Gou Liangyang thought his sly move went unnoticed, but little did he know, Qin Feng had seen everything.
Not only had Qin Feng seen him spike the drink, he also knew Gou Liangyang had used ’three-second knockout drops.’
The ’three-second knockout drops’ from the Capital’s Lingfang Pavilion... Ge Buqun’s trade had actually reached Zhonghai? This was a bit of a surprise for Qin Feng.
Seeing Gou Liangyang pass him the drink spiked with ’three-second knockout drops,’ Qin Feng said cheerfully, "Minister Gou, the two of us have drunk four bottles already. Even if we drink four more, I won’t fall over. But it looks like you, Minister Gou, are about to hit your limit!
How about this, you just give up. If you concede, we won’t have to keep competing, and we can actually enjoy a meal. Look at this table full of dishes, all of them have gone cold without a single bite taken."
"Assistant Qin, I’m not boasting, but I’ve never lost at the drinking table. After you drink this glass, if you don’t get drunk within three seconds, then I’ll admit defeat. I’ll sign the loan contract for ten billion with Mrs. Yu!"
Gou Liangyang was extremely confident in the effects of the ’three-second knockout drops.’ He had used them three times before, without a single failure. Even for someone with an exceptional tolerance, just one drop of the ’three-second knockout drops’ in their alcohol, drunk on an empty stomach, would immediately take them down.
"Since Minister Gou has said as much, I’ll drink this glass. After I drink it, if I don’t get drunk within three seconds, you’ll sign the ten-billion loan contract with Mrs. Yu?" Qin Feng confirmed.
"That’s right! Just as long as you don’t get drunk within three seconds of drinking, I’ll sign the contract right away, no going back on my word!"
