An unexpected top gift: Mr. Chen’s original intention of selling
On the afternoon of last Wednesday, we went to a Grade A office building in Kwun Tong to visit the client, Mr. Chen. Mr. Chen is an Asia-Pacific executive of a multinational technology company. He usually works at a tight pace and pays attention to efficiency and professionalism.
'These two bottles were brought from Tokyo last month by a Japanese business partner to celebrate the successful launch of a major project,' Mr Chen explained with a smile as he carefully placed the boxes on the conference table. 'I truly appreciate the gesture, but I am a committed Burgundy enthusiast and do not drink sake. Premium sake also requires strict temperature control and has been taking up the most valuable space in my wine cabinet. Rather than leave it untouched here, I would prefer to entrust it to Chunxiang Wine Merchants so that it can reach someone who will genuinely appreciate it. That is the best way to honour the value of such a fine bottle.'
Mr. Chen’s reasons are very rational. For many business people, if the high-end gifts they receive do not fit their personal usage habits, finding a professional buyback organization for circulation is the most cost-effective and environmentally friendly option.
On-site appraisal: feel the artistic charm of top-grade sake
After understanding the situation, our professional appraisers immediately put on white gloves and began a rigorous evaluation process. This time Mr. Chen commissioned the buyback of the sake dream product - "Juyondai Ryusen Hakuun Korai".
As shown in the picture, the accessories of this wine are extremely complete. The exclusive black lacquered wooden box and the gilded white outer box are free of any bumps or defects, and the exclusive instruction booklet included in the box is also intact, which plays a decisive role in increasing the buyback value.
We further examined the details of the bottle. Looking at another physical picture, the calligraphy strokes of "Ryusen" and "Hakuun Korai" on the wine label are vigorous, and the hot stamping part has not oxidized or faded at all. The capsule is tight and has no damage, and the fill level is maintained in perfect condition. More importantly, Mr. Chen has been storing it in a professional constant-temperature wine cabinet since receiving it, which ensures that the high quality of the wine is not compromised.
