Chapter 20 Expanding the winery
In the following week, George accompanied Ryan to familiarize himself with the new strength. So far, George does not have a specific value for his strength and combat effectiveness.
Before acquiring Deadshot's marksman ability and fighting ability, George could only use his strong basic physical fitness to suppress the enemy. But with these two abilities, he has completely made up for his shortcomings. It can be said that now even when facing the United States
Captain, he is also confident that he can take the fight.
The two had just finished training that day, and the servant came to inform that John was visiting. George asked someone to give John a glass of wine, and then John waited in the reception room for a while, then went back to the room, took a shower and changed clothes before coming out.<
/p>
Back in the reception room, John and Ryan were already chatting happily.
"Hello, John"
"Hello, Mr. Orwell."
"Why, come to me so early. Has the previously arranged matter made any progress?" George said when he saw the document John put on the coffee table.
"Yes, Mr. Orwell. Mainly because of the prohibition on alcohol in Canada in the past three years, wineries in this part of town have run into problems. Moreover, they heard that the wages offered by your current winery are very high, so
If you acquire their winery, they hope that you will continue to work for you by giving priority to their workers. Moreover, they hope to receive the same level of wages as the workers at Panlong Winery.”
When John saw George asking, he did not hide it, but directly conveyed all the requests from other wineries.
John knew that these winery owners really wanted to find someone who could buy their winery. There used to be more than 30 wineries in the town, but later, nearly 20 of them were under the nearly four-year prohibition of alcohol in Canada.
The winery was converted into farmland.
The rest are grapevines that have been in operation for a long time and have reached their age. If they are directly replaced with other crops, the losses will be great. Moreover, grapevines that have been planted for many years cannot simply be pulled out and flattened.
Planting other crops directly. The soil cultivation and fertilization in the middle require a lot of capital investment and time investment.
Now there are people who are willing to take over, and if the conditions are right, they are still willing to cooperate.
"All of these can be discussed. As long as the requirements of the winery are met, it is not impossible to keep all these workers. So, have you completed the plan I asked you to make before?"
"It's done, here, take a look first." After saying that, John first opened a map of the town, then opened a plan, and handed it to George.
George first read the plan. After reading it for a while, he picked up the map and studied it for a while. Then, he caught his eye and started to plan slowly.
According to John's plan, all the sixteen existing wineries in the town will be purchased and then part of the land will be purchased. When connected together, they will form a concave-shaped terrain that semi-surrounds the town. In addition, Panlong Winery
It is a raised piece at the bottom of the concave shape. It covers an area of more than 8,000 acres and mainly produces cool climate varieties, such as Riesling, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Cabernet Franc. It will later produce more than 6 million liters of wine every year.
If you only count sixteen wineries, there won't be many, but if they are to be connected according to George's idea, then this is the land included.
However, the quoted price is not high. Agriculture has developed rapidly in the United States in recent years, and George's own farm was sold for just over 400,000 US dollars. The quoted price, including all the wine in stock, the brewery and the land, was only 1.2 million, which was far lower than
George's previous estimated value was $1.5 million.
George still has about 300,000 yuan in cash. If he signs the contract one month later, he can get his dividends back this month. Added together, it will be enough to pay the price of all the land. However, George knows that if he wants to get this
If all acres of land are integrated, continued investment is still required.
Moreover, summer is approaching, and the first wave of minor economic crisis is coming. George is also planning to make more preparations at this time. George feels that he needs to make a quick buck.
George just thought for a while and said to John: "John, I can buy all these lands, and the benefits can be the same as those of Panlong Winery now. But there is still some room for this price. So.
, you still need to talk to them."
Finally, George once again used the incentive method and negotiated a partial 3% of John's bonus last night based on 1.15 million. Then John said goodbye and left. He still had many things to do.
After John left, Ryan said: "George, you purchased so much land at one time, are there any problems with your funds?"
George took a sip from the wine glass and chuckled: "Uncle Ryan, don't worry, I already have a plan."
Ryan, holding the wine glass in his hand, nodded and said nothing.
Just now, George had already thought about how to raise the money. The fastest way is to rob. This is more troublesome, and there may not be so much cash in the bank. It can be used openly.
There would be trouble. So George just chose to gamble.
The next day, George said goodbye to Ryan.
Reno, Nevada
In later generations, Reno was known as the second largest casino city in Nevada, but from the perspective of the history of the gaming industry, Reno was the originator of Las Vegas. It is said that more than half a century ago, some "big money"
They came to Reno with a lot of money and wanted to turn Reno into what Las Vegas is today. However, Reno held a referendum and unanimously opposed turning their home into a big casino. Because of this, later generations of Reno were born.
Las Vegas. The rise of the Las Vegas gambling industry was only after 1945, so of course George came here after his inquiry.
George walked into the Silver Heritage Hotel in the city center. In the middle of the casino lobby, there was a silver mining machine from the gold rush era. The hotel's promotional brochure said that Nevada's gold reserves ranked third in the world and also among the Americans.
It was the first place to pan for gold and silver in the West. The huge silver panning machine standing in the center of the hotel seemed to be telling the story of Reno. On the ceiling of the hotel lobby, the process of silver mining was repeatedly played.

But this has nothing to do with the purpose of George's visit today. When the hotel attendant saw George walking into the hotel, he immediately greeted him: "Dear sir, hello, welcome to Silver Heritage. Would you like to check in or play a few games first?
Handle."
George just nodded and told the waiter to exchange the chips. Then George was taken to the entrance of a hall, and the person leading the way was a beautiful woman with a gorgeous dress and a hot figure.
In the chips exchange on the left side of the hall, George directly exchanged 10,000 chips. Then led by Emma, he walked into the casino. Within a few minutes of George entering the casino, another 10
People exchanged about 5,000 chips and entered the casino one after another.
These 10 are all George's shadow clones, which is George's trump card that he is confident he can win money tonight. With these 10 multiple shadow clones that have the same senses as the main body, he is still very advantageous when playing some gambling.
.
For example, George wants to play Texas Hold'em. This game. This game is usually played by 2 to 10 people. Then, George won $500,000 on a table. Then, George gave Emma's lady
After tipping a large amount of chips, George was ready to leave.
George came to the chip exchange office, exchanged the chips for cash, and deposited them directly into the bank at the counter of the Bank of America next door. Then just when George was about to walk out of the Silver Heritage Hotel and change to a casino to continue gambling, George found that he seemed to
Being followed.
Because the longer George was transformed by space energy, the more acute his five senses became. When those malicious eyes fell on George, George felt like he was being pricked by needles.
George did not panic or try to escape. Instead, he kept taking detours on the road, heading towards dark places.
Knowing that George had entered a dead end, the five men who had been following him pulled out their guns and blocked the way.
George also pretended to be scared and said, "What do you want to do?"
One of the leaders said: "What are you doing? I just saw that my friend seems to have won a lot, and I am going to invite you back as a guest. I can borrow some money to spend."
Several other people also showed their yellow teeth and laughed strangely.
"Oh, that can't be wrong."
"What, boy, are you stupid?" The people blocking the road burst into laughter after saying this.
George also laughed, and then he saw a figure appear behind several people. In just a moment, a line of blood appeared on the necks of four of them. Only the leader was still alive, but the one with the gun
One hand also left his body.
The figure that appears behind him is his real body, and the one in front is just his shadow clone. After all, safety is the most important thing, and he has no interest in pretending to be stupid and pretending to be stupid.
After all dangers were eliminated, George walked to the person with one hand left and said: "I ask, you answer. If you answer wrong, I will let you know how lucky they are." After speaking, he pointed.
Four bodies have fallen to the ground.
The leader of the gang covered his broken arm with one hand, fell to the ground, and looked at the person in front of him in horror. He felt that this person was not a person at all, but a complete devil.
"You are a devil, don't kill me. We are from the Jewish gang. If you kill me, you will be in trouble."
"Haha, you still know how to scare me." After saying that, George stepped on the severed hand with his foot, and the person under his feet let out a miserable howl. "Spare me, spare me, I will say anything."

Then, under a friendly exchange between the two, the little guy explained all the information about the Jewish gang that he just mentioned.
According to what the gangster An said, this hotel is now managed by a Jewish gang. Since he won a large sum of money today, a gangster above arranged for a few of them to get the money they won back. And these thugs
I thought about taking George back and knocking him dry before dealing with it.
This kind of thing couldn't be easier for them, but this time they hit the wall.
I learned from this gangster that the Jewish gang not only manages two casinos here, but also runs a loan company next to it, managing more than 200 prostitutes. Their headquarters is on the second floor of the loan company, and the third floor
This is where they store their money. On the last three days of each month, the Jewish gang will tally up all the income of the month, and then wait for the boss of the Jewish gang to hand over the profits before dividing the accounts among the people below.
And now there are only a few days until the Jewish gang remittance. George looked at the five people lying on the ground in front of him. He originally wanted to use legal methods to make a quick buck. Who knows, some people don't want to settle down.
Five firearms were collected, including four Colt M1911s, a British Webley MKVI revolver, and several magazines. George turned around and left here, and someone would naturally pick up the body.
As soon as George turned onto the main road, he saw two people supporting each other and staggering towards the alley here.
Not wanting to cause trouble, George turned sideways and let the person pass. Then he took a few steps quickly and was about to leave this place of right and wrong.
It happened that George saw several thugs with guns in their hands rushing towards this side, shouting: "Quick, catch up with those two yellow-skinned pigs."
Hearing what these people said, George immediately stopped. These people walked past George, and one of them bumped into George. However, George just let go of the other person's shoulder, and the other person staggered instead.
But maybe considering that there was something else ahead, I just glared at George and left quickly.
