Chapter Eighty-Eight: Grow Up with Me and Grow Old with You

The snoring sound of the fat plane that he had accumulated sounded at this time, and it became the most beautiful melody in the air of Islay.

When Shuai Ge opened his eyes again with anticipation, the car had been safely parked in the courtyard of Wenyi's holiday home on Islay.

If there is no expectation, there will be no disappointment, and if there is too much expectation, it is easy to despair.

Fat Ge Ton got out of the car, and there was no roast whole sheep in the yard.

Fat Goton entered the house, and no one was cooking in the kitchen.

Looking at the restaurant, there are three large bottles of Fat Boy Happy Water and three pizzas that are clearly from takeaway.

The tattooed muscular man was looking through a folder, and Fifth Summer was doing some explanations on the side from time to time.

Seeing the large army coming in, Fifth Summer unscrewed the caps of the bottles of Fat Boy's Happy Water one by one, and opened the lid of the pizza by the way.

The tattooed muscular man grabbed a slice of pizza with his right hand and stuffed it into his mouth, and continued to flip through the folders with his left hand.

Shuai Ge was a little devastated.

For the sake of the fifth summer's craft, he refused a meal on the plane.

A first-class meal!

The handsome guy rushed to Islay Island day and night, and Sister Xia entertained him with takeaway pizza?

Heaven, earth, who is he working for and who is he busy with?

Just as Fat Ge Ton was speechless and asked the sky, the Xueyi brothers and sisters and Lou Shang all sat down quietly.

A gentleman's gentleman, elegant elegance, without a hint of pyrotechnics continues to be extraordinary.

On the contrary, it made Shuai Ge, who had been standing, look abrupt.

The first time Shuai Ge saw the dining table, he was shocked by the food on the table.

The first thing Lou Shang saw when he saw the dining table was shocked by the documents placed on the table.

What was in the folder that Thompson Jr. was looking through, Lou Shang still didn't know.

But the two bags of papers on the dining table were clearly the two testamentary documents that had left him in the drawer of JerΓ³nimis that had made him sleepless all night.

Apparently, before they returned, Fifth Summer showed the two documents to Thompson Jr.

My brother thinks it's a big deal, but my sister doesn't take it seriously at all.

Compared to Lou Xia, Lou Shang felt like a flower in a greenhouse.

Little Thompson expressed his opinion in the purest Islay accent: "The idea of this series is more complete than what we have worked together before, and the chances of success are also very high. Are you sure you're going to give me and Big Thompson all the wine?"

"My short-term goal is to use this wine to make up the inheritance tax. I don't know if there is not enough stock in the warehouse?"

"I can't guarantee whether the wine itself is enough or not, but with this genius design, it will definitely be much more than in the future. It takes about three to five years to put this design into operation. ”

"I'm less than five months away from paying my inheritance tax. ”

"If you sell all your wine to the Thompson brothers because you're in a hurry, you're going to lose a lot of money in the future. Thompson Jr. said it very bluntly.

"Brother Tang is so optimistic about the future of this batch of wine, otherwise I will give you a whole six hundred, and the remaining dozens of barrels will be left as a souvenir, can you accept it?"

"Remembrance, aren't you afraid that keeping the wine will cause unnecessary trouble?" little Thompson pointed to the will papers on the table.

"You are not afraid of a person who has taken six hundred barrels, and I am a person who has sixty barrels, what are you afraid of?" Fifth Xia was really not afraid.

"It's not our family's patent. Little Thompson shook his muscles.

"So, Brother Tang also thinks that the two murders after 19 years are related to patents?" Although the fifth summer has lived on Islay Island for more than ten years, it is still far behind the Thompson brothers, who have lived on Islay Island for generations.

"It's almost a sure thing. ”

"Do you want to give up on the series?" Fifth Summer didn't want to cause trouble for Thompson Jr.

"If you ask me for my opinion, I'll say no. Thirty-seven years ago, the technology of the barrel was like the roof of the world, and everyone wanted to cross it, but they couldn't. Eighteen years ago, barreling was the means by which most distilleries depended, and once banned, they faced closure. With the popularity of single malts, there is now an emphasis on raw barrels. Whether you inherit this patent or not, it won't stand in the way of many people. ”

"As long as it doesn't pose a danger to you, then the set is decided. ”

"Wouldn't you feel sorry that when you handed us the wine, it became a separate bottling of the Thompson brothers, and no longer had a direct relationship with the Brunschweig Distillery?"

"No, my adoptive father wants to pass on the family's winemaking skills, I can't do that, and I don't have any interest, but my brother can. Lou Xia pointed at Lou Shang.

Little Thompson gave Lou Shang a look of attention, and then asked Lou Xia a very critical question: "Don't you want to find the culprit and avenge your dead relatives?"

"No, it won't. Fifth Xia gave his answer without hesitation: "I care more about the living than the fact that I can't change." ”

Little Thompson put his thumb on the side of his pectoral muscles and shook his pectoral muscles to express his approval: "Since you were thirteen, you have not been like a child. ”

"I don't seem to have said it for so many years, thank you and Brother Tang for your help. "Fifth Summer expressed her gratitude with two sweet dimples.

Laughing at this thing, only zero times and countless times.

"In the beginning, it was true that I helped you, but now I prefer to understand that we are mutually fulfilling, do you mind if I take the folder away and show it to Big Thompson?"

"Don't mind, you'll tell me if you want to do this series. I still have the original manuscript, and I've been painting it for almost eight years, so I'll find time to perfect it again. ”

Little Thompson didn't say hello to the others who were doing it until he left: "I have to go now, it's nice to meet you." ”

The state of the fifth summer when he was working seriously has not been seen by any of you here.

Lou Xia said that she cares more about the living than the fact that she can't change.

Suddenly changed, Lou Shang collapsed and insomnia again, and even made Shuai Ge nervous.

Lou Xia accepted it so calmly.

The conversation between Lou Xia and little Thompson just now not only made Lou Shang feel emotional, but also made literature a little embarrassed.

For the past five years, he has always thought he was doing a good job.

He runs and expands the cultural liquor business.

He took all the responsibility to protect his mother and sister.

He did not give up for a moment the investigation of the truth about the sudden death of Wenhua.

The more the reason is not found, the more the literature is worried.

On the surface, it seems that it is the excessive worry of Tong Hua, which leads to the inability to return to the literary and artistic home.

In fact, it is his never-ending investigation and impenetrable protection that makes Tong Hua live in an uneasy mood all the time.

It's just a few days later, the fifth summer of Lou Xia, which has transformed into Lou Xia, has made literature see a completely different way of living in the face of changes in relatives.

Fifth Summer also got up to leave after the roar of Thompson Jr.'s engine had passed.

"Ah Xia Xia, where are you going?"

"Go home, me. "Fifth Xia originally only wanted to say the word home, but when he thought of the three-character formula required by literature and art, he added another subject.

"Yiyi has just come, Xia Xia is going to walk away?"

"Take the original. "The fifth summer continues to be concise and to the point.

"Ah, Xia Xia, do you have to go and get it now?"

"Don't want to see it?"

"I think ~" Literature and Art haven't seen the series that the fifth summer gave to little Thompson.

"Together?"

"Okay~"

Wenyi followed the fifth Xia without any discipline, and as he walked, he made a human flesh inner interpretation machine: "Xia Xia didn't even have time to cook today, because she wanted to solve the matter of the winery as soon as possible, right?

Fifth, Xia did not answer or deny.

Wenyi put on his shoes while coming to work: "What are Xia Xia and little Thompson plotting? Yiyi roars to you, all those who are secret, whether they are conspiracy or secrets, they have to be the first to tell Yiyi in the future, this is called a girlfriend, does Xia Xia understand?"

Literary and artistic bully Fifth Summer can't write Chinese.

Everyone here is actually very curious, but no one is as direct as literature and art.

Fifth Xia got the original and came back, just like the previous will documents, and threw them on the table openly.

There are fifty-four originals, each of which is a wine label, forming a complete series.

I started painting this series when I was fifteen years old in the fifth summer, but I never took it out and used it.

Lou Shang, Literature and Shuai Ge, when looking at the 54 wine labels.

Fifth Summer took out a pen and paper and began to write a minimalist business plan.

Translated into Chinese is the Inheritance Tax Plan.

Goal: Sell the wine to pay off the inheritance tax

Method: The Thompson brothers bottle independently

Wines: 54.

Quantity: Equal limit based on 60 bottles, with a minimum limit of 60 and a maximum limit of 3,240, for a total of 89,100 bottles.

Sale: Auction

"Oh, I'm going to go! Our sister is indeed a bit of a genius. Shuai Ge, who was the first to read the original manuscript and the "Inheritance Tax Plan", sighed from the bottom of his heart.

Shuai Ge knew the news that Lou Shang and Lou Xia recognized each other because he was a few minutes later than Wenyi.

forced Lou Shang to tell him all the details.

Although Lou Shang is very persistent, how troublesome it is to inherit and restart the Brunschweig distillery, Shuai Ge has long been prepared.

Of course, money is one thing, and what is more exaggerated than money is that there will be worries about life.

Choosing to bottle it as a stand-alone means that even though the original brew from the Brunschweig distillery is used, it is ultimately sold under the personal brand of an independent bottler.

The idea of circumventing the Scotch Whisky Association's ban as long as they are willing to give up the title of the distillery is straightforward and most efficient.

But this is not the main reason why Shuai Ge, who has great business acumen, feels like a genius.

The set of 54 labels designed by Fifth Summer is a complete deck of playing cards.

The wine of independent tasters is basically limited, and the difference is in the quantity.

Without the design of the poker label, the original brews of the Brunschweig Distillery, no matter how many they were introduced, each one would be independent.

With such a set, as long as any of the 54 models can be favored by whisky collectors at auction, the prices of other limited editions will also rise.

After all, collecting is about completeness.

The maximum limit is a few thousand bottles, and the price may not be too high for the first auction.

But with a minimum of 60 bottles, it is not easy to wait until some of them are drunk and then try to get them.

When a whisky collector begins to collect a full set of playing whiskey, the true energy of the Fifth Summer's design is released.

That's probably why, Thompson Jr. said, it would take a few years to function.

First of all, the time it takes to blend 54 high-vintage whiskies.

Secondly, from the 60 to the 3240 limit, which one to give is also a question. Which one is the 2 of hearts, which one is the ace of spades, which one can be the little king, which one can be the king, and the rating of each wine is not a simple matter.

The fifth summer's inheritance tax plan is only a short five small points, but it contains a whole set of marketing knowledge, and even the handsome marketing genius Ge is a little ashamed.

Are Lou Shang and Lou Xia really brother and sister?

Why does Lou Shang, an older brother who has no marketing cells at all, have a genius sister like Lou Xia?

has the same emotion as Shuai Ge, as well as the chairman and general manager of Cultural Liquor, who has achieved great achievements in the field of spirits marketing.

Knowing that Shuai Ge sold his shares in order to help Lou Shang raise funds and restart the winery inherited by Lou Xia, Literature said that he could help within his ability.

Now it seems that the people themselves have made plans in advance, and they don't need anyone's help at all.

"Sister Xia, you do this, so that your brothers have no sense of existence. "Shuai Ge is a little dissatisfied, no matter what, it should be different from intimacy.

Lou Xia's plan, although it may be difficult to promote it at the beginning, but the prospects and "money scene" are definitely very good.

If he and Lou Shang don't have the ability to help, forget it.

It's just that he is very good at marketing, and Lou Shang is a wine country god and a genius in winemaking.

Coupled with the sales channels of the cultural wine industry, it is simply a perfect combination.

Fifth Xia looked at Shuai Ge and said five words seriously and too bluntly: "He, grow up with me." ”

Here he is obviously referring to Thompson Jr.

Shuai Ge was so scared by the fifth summer that he had nothing to say.

It is undeniable that everyone here, including literature and art, is not the one who grew up with the fifth summer.

Lou Shang was sad because of the words "grow up with me".

In the heart of literature, he is also very scared, but he doesn't know what he is afraid of.

Lou Xia ignored Shuai Ge and Wenxue's expressions, walked to Lou Shang's side, stretched out an index finger, and poked Lou Shang's shoulder.

When Lou Shang struggled to control his emotions and turned his head, Lou Xia said five words in a more serious and straightforward way: "I, accompany you to grow old." ”

The fifth summer, which is so little to talk on weekdays, is simply not good at this time.

Five words, Lou Shang burst into tears.

The coolest expression, the warmest heart.

Lou Shang was a little embarrassed to cry in front of so many people, got up and hugged Lou Xia in his arms, and turned his back to the person sitting at the table.

After a long time, Lou Shangcai spoke a little hoarsely: "What can a crybaby do for slugs?"

Lou patted Lou Shang on the back as a sign of comfort.

In order not to let her brother "lose face" in front of everyone, Lou Xia didn't speak again, she took a paper and pen, and listed what her brother could do without embarrassment:

1. Grade the winery's storage and select the original wine for the Thompson brothers.

2. Provide domestic sales channels to increase the unit price of independent bottling of the Thompson brothers.

3. Participate in a whisky auction and make the poker series a blockbuster.

4οΌŒβ€¦β€¦

Fifth Summer wrote, Shuai Ge's eyes began to glow, he only saw Fifth Summer take 90,000 bottles without blinking an eye for the Thompson brothers to bottle independently, but forgot that "his own sister" inherited more than 100,000 bottles of whiskey.

Even if he loses a large army, his brother still has room to play.

When the poker series is on fire, the remaining original liquor from the Brunschweig Distillery will be even more worthy of operation.

Odd goods can be lived, waiting for the price to be sold.

Fat Geton, who was in good spirits on happy occasions, ate two pizzas in one go and drank 1.5L of fat boy happy water.

Fifth, Xia is not incapable of solving the problem of distillery succession.

The difference between before having a brother and after having a brother is whether there is anyone who can make her take this matter to heart.

Lou Xia didn't care about the Brunschweig Distillery at all, but she could see that Lou Shang cared a lot.

Whether it is for Teronymis or the fifth Qiwen, Lou Shang cares more than Lou Xia.

Whether or not to restart can be a matter of much later.

Whether or not to inherit is a matter that must be decided immediately.

"My sister-in-law is really earth-shattering, a first-class greasy pest. Please rest assured that if the Thompson brothers can't sell enough whiskey for inheritance tax for a while, my sister-in-law will hand over the castle to Cultural Liquor to take care of. Yiyi helped her sister-in-law turn the castle into a wine culture museum, and then designed a special line for her sister-in-law to travel through the history of whisky, which was directly made into a popular attraction, and she could help her sell the hand-drawn one just by selling tickets. ”

In one breath, he said that the six sisters-in-law's wine culture ambassadors will take over the first project when they return to China, which is the wine culture tourism project.

The cultural ambassador has his own ideas, and the national gentleman does not limit his sister's imagination.

But the title of sister-in-law has not been many days since the last time, but it sounds like a whole century apart.

"Don't make a fuss about Yiyi, little Thompson is the one who grew up with Xia Xia. Literature doesn't know why he said this, and he doesn't know why, Lou Xia just said so many things, he only refined the sentence of growing up with him, and he also gave birth to the feeling that his heart was torn apart out of thin air.
