Chapter 0238: Pompous Performance (First Update)
The dinner was not grand, but the Count called the officials of Coral Island, and Levi called some of his subordinates over to get together for a chat.
After the dinner, Liszt found an opportunity to enter his study with Levi.
"Brother, how can you taste liquor?" Liszt took the bottle containing the original flower brew from the manservant's hand, unscrewed the cap, poured a glass, and pushed it in front of Levi, "Taste this liquor and give me an evaluation." ”
"I'm very good at appreciating wine, hmm, what kind of liquor is this, and where did you get it?" he asked, picking up his glass, "It tastes bad, it smells, it looks like an inferior liquor." The liquor I drank when I was fighting in the Eagle Kingdom tasted better than this liquor!"
After speaking, he put the wine glass to his lips and dipped it a little: "It has a sour taste, no wine strength, this wine is really inferior." ”
Putting down the cup, he didn't say anything more, the meaning was already self-evident.
Liszt's face remained unchanged, and he continued to ask: "Brother, how much do you think this kind of liquor can be sold for?"
"How much is a bottle?" Levi narrowed his eyes, "Liszt, don't tell me that this liquor is brewed in Flower Town?"
"As you said, this is exactly the home-brewed liquor I am working on, the flower brew. It's just that I haven't been brewed yet, and the quality of the liquor obtained is very low, but anyway, I've already researched the liquor brewing technology, haven't I? ”
Hear here.
Levi's eyes were already shining, and he couldn't wait to speak: "What? You have already developed the liquor brewing technique? God, Liszt, don't lie to me, do you know the value of the liquor brewing technology, how valuable it is? The Grand Duchy only has five kinds of liquor, three of which are in the hands of the Marquis and two are in the hands of the Grand Duke. ”
The Count commented that Levi's, who had been on the battlefield, was mature.
But at this moment, Levi is still the same Levi, and his frizzy eyes are red: "Grandpa has not mastered the liquor brewing technology!"
"Don't be too surprised, brother, it's just a liquor business, it's nothing compared to potions. ”
"It's nothing!" Levi's breath was heavy, "Of course the potions are valuable, but they are barely enough for their own use." The potions of the Tulip Castle, my father needs it, I need it, maybe Litton will take some of it in the future, and Livila, she will definitely snatch some of it with a dead face!"
With the magical power of the Tulip Elf, the Black Tulip can produce a large number of potions, but there are many people who count on these potions.
Of course, the black tulip business was signed by three brothers and sisters.
But once the power of the elves is occupied, the share that should be handed over to the earl is indispensable, and Levi will at most eat all the increased income.
As he spoke, he said jealously: "I don't have as good luck as you, and I am an intermediate demonic beast, and black tulips, flame mushrooms, and potion thorns, all of which are exclusive to you!"
"It seems that from the potion, you can't make any money, brother. ”
"Of course I can't make it, I can't make a single one, the money from my other businesses is all smashed on potions, do you know that every time I take a bottle of potion, my flesh will hurt for a long time...... You're not an elite Earth Knight yet, and you can't appreciate the pain and joy of an Elite Earth Knight. His expression was about to distort.
"In this way, my brother is very short of money. ”
"Knowingly asked. ”
"What if I would like to share the liquor business with my brother? Liszt threw the prepared bait directly - he was too lazy to continue acting.
Levi's exaggerated expression and tone are simply exaggerated performances, not distracted at all. He probably guessed something from the time Liszt asked him to taste baijiu - Levi was never a fool, he had already been promoted to the Knight of the Earth when he was a teenager, and he was known as a genius.
If it were an outsider, Liszt might have to be vain.
Since they are brothers, they simply pick it out directly.
Sure enough, hearing Liszt's words, Levi immediately put away his exaggerated acting skills and replaced them with an eager enthusiasm: "What, Liszt, you mean to share the liquor brewing technology with your brother?"
"The preciousness of liquor brewing technology, my brother has already told me. Before I split up, it doesn't matter who is in my hands, if I want to split up one day, I will definitely hand over the liquor brewing technology to you as soon as possible. My idea is, I'll make the wine, you take care of the sales, and we'll make half of the profits......"
A bit of haggling.
The brothers have basically decided on how to work together.
Levi's provides protection for the liquor business, provides the raw materials needed for liquor-making, and is responsible for external sales, accounting for 60% of the profits; Liszt is responsible for brewing liquor, accounting for 40% of the profits-460% of the share, Liszt is basically satisfied, and it is normal for channel merchants to eat the lion's share, not to mention providing protection.
If one day, the two brothers really separated.
Cooperation is terminated and technology is shared.
"At present, the liquor brewing technology is still being improved, and it will take a while to really make qualified liquor. The most important thing is that the brewing equipment is in urgent need of a batch of ironware, but Flower Town is extremely short of iron, and I hope you can help me solve it. ”
"You fancy the loot this time?" Levi touched his chin, knowing that if he wanted to get the liquor business, the benefit fee was indispensable, "Iron has always been the most sought-after trophy, and this time I didn't bring back too much iron ore, and I don't have much at my disposal...... Three thousand catties of iron ingots, I can't take out more. ”
"Three thousand catties, almost. ”
"Don't be too little, these three thousand catties are enough to make Viscount Trick and Viscount Younas blush. By the way, I forgot to ask you, why did the potion flame mushroom in Flower Town stop?"
Liszt pondered for a moment and replied, "I want to stock up on potions." ”
"Huh?"
"Don't be surprised, brother, although my talent is not as good as yours, but with Zyra, I don't want to go further. Even if you fail, you still have to try before you are willing. Liszt said half-truthfully, no one knew that he was already an elite earth knight.
"And what about black tulips and potions thorns?"
"The black tulips are still supplied to you, and I plan to stock up on the potion thorns. ”
"It's a shame...... It's hard for me to persuade you not to try, like Livila, whose willfulness I can't stop. But I still hope that you will think about it more, and if you change your mind, come back to me and cooperate. As an older brother, you have to believe that I can take advantage of anyone, but I won't take advantage of you. ”
"Of course, I'm a huge believer in that. ”
Then, the two talked about the sale of serfs, and with the liquor business paved the way, neither of them paid too much attention, and soon reached a deal, buying 2,500 serfs at the price of 500 gold coins.
"I'll give you the gold later. ”
"Just send it over before the fleet departs. Levi didn't ask Liszt where he got so many gold coins, and he became more and more incomprehensible to his younger brother.
Ignorance and cowardice are gone, replaced by shrewdness and generosity.
When Liszt said goodbye and left, he couldn't help but think: "Liszt has become an adult, and Flower Town gradually can't trap his ambitions, listening to his tone, even the idea of splitting up has arisen...... Can you reach the height of your father? ”
