Chapter 0030: Tsingtao Beer
sent Dwight away, and the four lawyers also chose to leave, and the bill will naturally be responsible for the Huang side.
Now Lao Huang has become Li Zitao's financial steward, whether it is business expenses or his personal expenses, this middle-aged compatriot who is becoming more and more English 6 is responsible.
"BOSS, phone. Hearing the shout, Li Zitao turned around and returned to the clubhouse, picked up the phone and said, "Hey?"
"BOSS, it's me, and there's good news for the brewery. Paul's happy laughter came from the other end.
It turned out that the newly acquired brewery had made a new breakthrough in beer brewing, and a Mexican brewer, who happened to taste the newly brewed beer in the traditional way of drinking agave, found that the taste made him unable to extricate himself.
Sprinkle salt on the back of your hand, hold a small glass of pure tequila with your thumb and forefinger, and use your ring and middle fingers to hold a slice of lemon.
Quickly lick the salt from the tiger's mouth, then drink it down, and then take a bite of the lemon slices, which is the so-called traditional way of drinking.
This was an open-minded experiment for brewers to add trace amounts of salt and lemon juice to the new beer, and in the words of the brewer, 'a beer that changed the world was born.' ’
"Changing the world, I can really blow it, it's more inflated than me. Hanging up the phone, Li Zitao sat on the sofa, waiting for Paul to pick him up in his Buick.
Li Zitao plans to go to the brewery to see for himself and taste what 'world-changing beer' tastes like.
“BOSS。 Paul trotted in through the door, excitement on his face.
"What's the name of the brewery?" got in the car, on the way to Milwaukee, Li Zitao asked about the brewery.
He still didn't know the name of the distillery, and as for the address, he only knew that it was in Milwaukee......
"Miller, Miller Brewing Company. Paul was still excited.
"It's ugly, change the name...... Qingdao is very good. Li Zitao's reason was invaded by bad taste.
"What the hell is this name?" said Paul, looking confused.
"Uh......" Thinking that there was no same or similar translation in English, Li Zitao snapped his fingers with a wicked smile, "That's right, it's called Tsingtao, Tsingtao Beer." ”
"......" Paul has already questioned the taste of the new boss.
Li Zitao was full of joy thinking, when this beer is sold, if it really becomes popular all over the world, he can't help but clap his legs and laugh when he thinks of foreigners who are saying "kiss, get up early, cut beans," and he can't help but clap his legs and laugh.
Li Zitao didn't know that his bad taste made the future second largest beer company in the United States, Miller Beer Company, disappear into history, and he didn't even splash a wave.
"Boss, welcome to Miller Brewery, I'm Frederick Miller. The old man with slightly gray hair stood at the door, looking at Li Zitao with a somewhat complicated gaze.
"Mr. Miller is the founder of Miller Beer. Paul stepped forward at the right time to explain.
"Well, from today onwards, it's no longer called Miller, but Tsingtao, Tsingtao Beer. "Since it is already his own industry, Li Zitao certainly has the right to name it.
He just wanted to see the foreigners, their faces twisted, their mouths twitching, and their tongues cramping as they chanted, 'Kiss, cut beans.' ’
When he heard Li Zitao's decision, Fredelik was a little disappointed, but he was also prepared for this kind of preparation in his heart.
After all, the arrival of every new boss represents a round of reshuffle, and I don't know if he has a chance to stay in this company cultivated by him.
"Miller, what do you think of the name?" Li Zitao turned around and stopped, waiting for Miller to follow, and then continued to walk towards the winery.
"Of course...... It's good, just a bit of a twister. Miller said against his will.
"Don't you think it's more important to make people want to remember it?" Li Zitao smiled meaningfully, leaving a deep impression in everyone's hearts.
That's right!
Just like they are now, when Li Zitao said the name 'Qingdao', they kept thinking about what these two words meant, and tried to pronounce them.
If you wait until the day the beer comes out, I'm afraid everyone will be impressed by it, even if the first time they hear it, they will be angry and 'what the fuck is this name?'
"This is the newly brewed beer?" Li Zitao took a sip from the glass looking at the liquid that was golden and exuded the bright color of opal.
"Boss, this wine is going to cause a revolutionary explosion in the beer market, and I'm pretty sure it's going to sell out until it's out of stock, and the merchants will be waving a lot of cash and spilling around the door. Miller danced with excitement.
Tasting the light aroma in the mouth, slightly cool and a little sour after swallowing, but it seems to be the finishing touch, making the wine more intense, Li Zitao believed what he said.
"Don't forget Prohibition. Just a few words, like a bucket of cold and biting cold water, poured on everyone's hearts.
"By the way, what about the winemaker who invented this wine?" Li Zitao sighed happily as he drank the wine in the glass.
"Here, his name is Alexander, and he's a great guy, and I found him. Paul took credit for pushing Alexander to the table.
Looking at the other party's somewhat shy face, Li Zitao was curious: "How old are you this year?"
"15 years old, sir. Alexander looked at him nervously.
"Life in Mexico is not easy, many children younger than him have been working for 2~3 years. Miller looked at him sympathetically and said.
"Yes. Li Zitao lowered his head, pondered for a moment and said, "To reward you for your discovery, you can choose to get 2.5 percent of the shares or 10,000 US dollars in cash. ”
Wow –
Hearing Li Dong's words, together with the winemakers who were watching the excitement outside, they were boiling, their eyes were red, and their eyes were naked.
Whether it's a $2.5 stake or $10,000 in cash, it's a huge temptation for anyone.
It's just that people are more inclined to choose cash than shares.
After all, Prohibition still hangs over your head, and cash is in your pocket in no time.
"Sir, I would like to ask when work can begin?" asked Alexander after a deep groan.
"Now, I don't know exactly when the sale will be. Li Zitao plans to start production now, hoarding it in the warehouse behind the factory.
As for sales, of course, from now on, of course, these words cannot be said in person.
"Then I choose...... Share. Alexander's wandering gaze became determined.
"Well, congratulations on making the clever choice, Paul, to have someone draft the paper. Li Zitao transferred 2.5 percent of the shares to his name on the spot.
Everyone looked at him with pity or admiration, and of course, there were also people who looked at Alexander with sympathy and stupidity.
After all, in their opinion, 10,000 US dollars in cash is more realistic than the distant prohibition of alcohol.
And Li Zitao's purpose has been achieved, as long as he passes by, everyone's eyes looking at him are full of fire and love.
Li Zitao just wants everyone to know that as long as he is a person who can create benefits for him, he will never be stingy.
Li Zitao is not a big guy with a search engine in his head, and he has no memory of various major events, and he doesn't even know when Microsoft and Apple, which were popular all over the world in his previous life, were founded.
So he needs to recruit more smart, intelligent, knowledgeable, and even lucky ones to help him grow step by step.
"Paul, how is Miller?" After walking around the winery, seeing all kinds of equipment needed for winemaking, and after greeting the workers and making sure that the wages would be paid on time, Li Zitao left in the car.
"Very professional, Miller beer developed very well before Prohibition, and has a good reputation and sales channels in the surrounding four continents.
If it weren't for Prohibition, perhaps it would have become an all-American star brand by now, and all of this was made possible by Miller. Paul smiled gloatingly.
"Well, then let him continue to serve as the general manager, and order the production in your name, and send it to Nuki first as a thank you gift last time. ”
Nuki sent him a whole box of top-quality brandy, and Li Zitao just used 'Tsingtao Beer' as a return gift to express his gratitude, and waited for him to take the initiative to call by the way.
Beer is popular all over the world, and now that a new beer with a unique taste and great taste has appeared, you can imagine how much of a stake is involved.
"Maybe my first pot of gold will start with Tsingtao Beer. Li Zitao thought a little funny.
Paul, the backstabber, was full of helplessness, the shares of Miller Brewing Company were in his name, and if he was caught by the Prohibition agents, the trouble would of course be his, 'the sinister boss.' ’
Paul was comforted by the fact that, at least so far, the profits from the sale were in his hands, and that was the only point he could be excited about.
At the same time, Li Zitao's image in Paul's mind became more and more mysterious, 'Why did the boss use Mexicans, did he already know that all this would happen?'
"BOSS, BOSS, you are famous, a mysterious Chinese from the East, the new spokesperson of the federal military, the darling of the military ......"
The day after Dwight left, the major newspapers did publish reports about that day, and the Chicago Tribune even devoted half a page.
The photo of him shaking hands with Dwight was enlarged and printed on it, and thousands of words were sprinkled, and Li Zitao was self-inflated.
If it weren't for the person concerned, I'm afraid even he would feel that this Chinese teenager is the new favorite of the federal military.
By the time the evening came, Li Zitao was already crying and laughing, and relevant reports were published in various tabloids, and his identity became varied.
"The illegitimate son of the military's rising star. "Heir to a prominent family from the ancient East. "The spokesman of the warlords of the East. "A mysterious family lurking in the shadows. ”
"Why, why don't they say that I am the master behind the scenes of the United States, controlling the whole world, or a visitor from outside the sky, waving his hand to find a space battleship and shattering the water blue star with one shot. ”
Throwing away the newspaper in his hand, Li Zitao was really angry, these tabloid reporters are too undisciplined.
