Chapter 16 Wine Tasting
George, I was just about to go to Ryan's room and go out to eat together, and then I looked towards the door of the room.
"Dong dong dong" there was a knock on the door. George opened the door and saw Morrie standing at the door.
"George, I heard you wanted to see me."
"Oh, let's go, let's go see some good things together later." George smiled and said. Seeing that Pang Bo didn't come, George didn't ask any more questions. He probably didn't want to involve too much.
After getting into Morrie's car, George said: "Morrie, go to your chassis, I put something over there." Then he reported an address.
Neither of them spoke in the car. Twenty minutes later, the car stopped at the door of the warehouse that George had rented temporarily. George got out of the car and took out the key to open the warehouse. When he saw a mountain of food piled there,
Behind the wine barrel, Morrie was very surprised.
What surprised Mori the most was that someone put so much wine on his property, and he didn't receive any news at all. The problems exposed scared him. What would happen if a gunman was transported in?
, what he wants to know most now is how George did this silently.
Morrie walked around in front of the two piles of hills, turned to George and asked: "How much wine is there in total here?"
George lifted up the two 45-liter wine barrels and said: "Haha, there are two kinds of wine here, 5,000 liters each, one is Canadian whiskey, and the other is Canadian wine. Just right, you can taste it later.
."
Morrie said with a more serious expression: "George, tell me who helped you transport these wines. This is very important."
Looking at his serious expression, George understood what he meant and said to him directly: "Morrie, I understand what you are worried about. Don't worry, my teacher arranged the people, and each of them has some special abilities.
.But they don’t have any idea about your business. They came to help me just because I asked my teacher.”
"And if they have any ideas, you can't stop them at all." After saying that, George, who was standing five meters away from Morrie just now, appeared directly next to him and put his arms around his shoulders.<
/p>
This action startled Morrie. He stared at the place where George was standing just now, and then pointed at the place where he was standing now: "Oh my God!"
George is deliberately showing off his strength. For a lawless family, even a family with a relatively good reputation, George will not believe in the kindness of the other party. Since it is cooperation, there must be equal strength, otherwise the other party will eat it sooner or later.<
/p>
Appropriate exposure of things can help everyone do business more calmly.
"Haha, it's a small trick, don't be too surprised." After saying that, he picked up two buckets, turned around and walked outside. "Let's go, we will continue chatting later."
George put the barrel of wine into the car, threw the key to Morrie, and said, "The wine is all there. Ask someone to check it out."
After saying that, he took the lead and got into the car. Morrie handed the key to a subordinate, said a few words to him, and then also got into the car.
Ten minutes later, the car drove into an underground parking lot. After entering through a secret door at the corner of the corridor, they came to an underground restaurant. From the slightly noisy environment, it can be seen that this underground restaurant is more
The quality of the one I went to last time was a bit different.
Mori led his guests through the lobby and walked into a separate small private room. After entering, the noise outside suddenly weakened too much. After they sat down respectively, Mori said: "This is our
The business of my own restaurant is very easy now. Haha." After saying that, he asked the waiter who had just followed them into the box to carry out the two barrels of wine, and then he ordered some more food.
Within two minutes, the waiter brought over two bottles of wine. It was the Canadian whiskey and Canadian grapes that George had brought.
After waiting for Mori's instruction, he poured a glass of wine for both of them and then left.
The two first picked up grapes, Canadian wine, which is a sweet wine.
The geographical location is special, located around 41 degrees north latitude)
George picked up the wine glass, put it under his nose and smelled it, then shook it slowly, and a fragrance gradually came out.
George took a gentle sip and felt the unique aroma of black currant and black olive, followed closely by the aroma of red berries, dark chocolate and black olive. In the mouth, the wine felt very lively and full of flavor, with a round and full taste.
, the tannins are firm and complete, the aftertaste is long-lasting, and it is perfectly integrated with the oak characteristics. The fruit flavor is rich and complex, and the aftertaste contains a tar-like sweet taste, which is exquisite and long. It is rich and delicate. Maybe it is because the grade of the wine is a little lower, so I drank it with George.
The vintage wine he drank at his own winery was a little lighter in fruity aroma, and the flavors were not rich and delicate enough. So, George just took a sip and put down the glass.
George thinks the quality is low because he has tasted better wines.
Therefore, if he said it, it would probably be regarded as another way to show off. Looking at Mori's expression of enjoyment, George did not tell them that this was just a lower-grade one.
After drinking the glass of wine, they rinsed their mouths with water, and then picked up the whiskey again. Compared with other whiskeys, Canadian whiskey is light whiskey. Put it in front of your nose and smell the aroma of grains.
Whiskey has slight impurities. In fact, the whiskey in barrels does not complete the entire production process.
These barreled wines have only been mixed but not bottled. Before bottling, the blended whiskey must be filtered again to remove impurities, and then the whiskey must be fixed by an automated bottling machine.
The capacity is divided into each wine bottle.
Because the previous Gwen Winery had not continued production for a long time, the packaging equipment had been damaged. George was pressed for time, so he shipped it over in advance and let Morrie and the others filter and package it themselves.
George and Morrie were relatively silent during their dinner. It was not until after the dinner that one of Morrie's previously arranged subordinates came in. Morrie directly asked, "Have you seen them all?"
"Yes, the whiskey and wine are 5,000 liters each. The whiskey and wine are of good quality. And all the wines are of the same quality and are produced by regular wineries."
Morrie nodded, waved his hand and asked his men to retreat. Then he said: "I will give you this batch of wine at a price of 20 US dollars per liter. Is that okay?"
George slowly took a sip of whiskey. He knew that the quality of his batch of wine was at the level of the current downstairs restaurant, and it was definitely among the best. They can sell each liter of wine for 40 US dollars, which is
That’s just the current price. George knows that in the future the price of wine will be at least two hundred times what it was before.
Therefore, George did not show joy. Instead, he raised his head and asked: "What about the future?"
"From now on, we will all have a price of 10 US dollars per liter. I want as much as you have."
"Haha." George shook his head and said with a smile: "I have no objection to this batch of wine, and it doesn't matter. But I won't do it in the future. And you can't eat it."
When Morrie was about to say something, George waved his hand and continued: "This batch of wine has not yet been filtered and divided into bottles. After filtration, the taste of the wine will be greatly improved. And this kind of whiskey is of guaranteed quality.
, it will be very rare in the future. If it is sold like the wine of those small workshops, it is a hidden treasure."
"So, this batch of wine will be given to you at the price you gave me, and then you put it on the market to try. And I can provide 50,000 liters of wine of this quality every month. You still think you can eat it.
Do you want to buy it? My plan is to divide it into shares. As for such a proportion, it can be discussed."
Mori thought more about it. He thought about it seriously and said, "Can you guarantee that you can provide 50,000 liters every month?"
"Haha, don't worry, this is just this year's volume, there will be more next year."
"Okay, I may ask you to wait a little, and I will give you an answer later. How will I give you the money for this batch of wine?" Morrie seemed to have made a decision.
"Of course, I'm waiting for your news. By the way, it can be delivered to any city in the United States. This is a tribute to Mr. Corleone. For this amount, if possible, we can go play two games in the evening. You see
How's it going?"
During the alcohol smuggling during Prohibition, the seller was only responsible for preparing the wine and placing it in a city on the border, and the buyer went on his own. If the selling price was higher, the wine that needed to be smuggled would just be transported directly to a certain place in the United States. Of course, this way
The price will be much higher. And George directly promised to deliver it to every place where it is needed. It is said to be a tribute to Mr. Corleone. It can be said that these are real benefits.
The meaning of playing two games at night is to find a regular casino, and then Mori will send people in batches to deliberately lose to George, so that the money is laundered.
Unfortunately, nothing like the plot in the novel happened in the casino. He simply went to the casino to pretend to be rich, and directly took 10,000 chips on a blackjack table to become the banker. Morrie arranged it here
After a few rounds, all the positions were occupied, and all the chips of 150,000 US dollars were lost to George. This first transaction was considered completed.
George returned to the hotel very late at night. After washing, he went to bed. Before going to bed, he followed the same rules as before, still practicing ten avatars and only practicing corpse pulse.
The next day, George didn't wake up until noon. He got up, took back his clone, washed up, and had lunch with Ryan first.
