"How much wine did you make in a month?", Durin pointed to the outside of the factory, and walked out first, he was now covered in the smell of alcohol, and he could already feel his cheeks a little hot. He is not particularly capable of drinking, so he is not very interested in drinking, and he does not like things that he cannot control his behavior.

Rhodes drank the puree from the cup in one gulp, and casually placed the cup on the wooden barrels beside him, which were made of dragon's blood wood, and the puree would be poured into these barrels when it came out. Depending on the degree required, it can be bottled after being taken out in stages. Wooden barrels made of dragon's blood can absorb impurities and moisture, and the wine will be held for about three days, and the higher ones will last for a week. After more than a week, the effect is extremely limited, so the method of brewing high-grade sake is to make dragon's blood wood into wood residue and ferment it in a container with the raw materials, absorbing impurities and water directly in the process.

He followed behind Doolin a few steps and whispered, "At that time, we could produce up to 20,000 bottles a month, and we supplied about 70 to 80 percent of the local demand. ”

So Ilian alone consumes almost a thousand bottles of wine a day, but what about the entire empire? Of course, there is no other place like Ilian that has so many tourists, but a hundred bottles a day can always be sold. There are a total of sixteen states and regions and more than 200 cities in the entire empire, and if you calculate according to this data, this empire consumes at least 20,000 bottles of wine every day.

But this figure is far below the true number, in some prosperous cities, it is possible to consume more alcoholic beverages per day than in Illian, and excluding those relatively backward and economically underdeveloped areas, which occupy a quarter of the market share, about 10,000 to 20,000 bottles of wine per day, which is a very low conservative figure. The exact number will not be known until the next order arrives, but Doolin is well aware that this number is very low.

"We will continue to expand the factory and strive to produce 500,000 bottles of wine every month. Durin took out a cigarette and handed it to Rhodes, who even forgot to pick up the cigarette in Dürin's hand!

500,000 bottles of wine a month? They used to make more than 100,000 bottles of wine a year, but now the amount of wine a month is three or four times the output of the previous year, and Rhodes has a doubt, can they really sell all this wine every month? You must know that winemaking is not the same as other businesses, and once the specific number is determined, it will be purchased at a fixed point in the market, and this is a contract.

Once a month has a backlog of wine, it means that there will soon be a backlog of funds. Because of the contract, those suppliers will continue to deliver the raw materials for the production of 500,000 bottles of wine on time and in quantity. Food is very difficult to preserve, and Ilian is still by the sea, and the air is humid, so it cannot be stored for a long time. This means that even if they can't sell their wine, they have to continue to produce it, unless they pay for breach of contract.

His eyes moved, and he realized that Dührin had handed him a cigarette, and he immediately bent down and said thank you, put the cigarette to his mouth, and took out a box of matches for Dührin to light first, and then to light it for himself. Shaking his arm, extinguishing the match, and then throwing it to the ground and stepping on it, Rhodes asked cautiously, "Mr. Dulin, this amount ...... Could it be too much?"

He then added: "And if you want to expand the factory, you need more land, at least four times as much as it is now." We need warehouses to store raw materials and all kinds of things, and if the space is small, it won't work at all. In addition, to expand production, we need to recruit more people......"

Durin understood what Rhodes meant, first, he was afraid that the wine would not be sold and would enter a vicious circle, and second, he needed money to put it bluntly.

Glancing back at the little land that was already around the distillery, Durin frowned. Whether it's the 1st district, the 5th district, or the middle districts, vacant land is already very scarce. With the construction of the 8th Ward of Ilian and the addition of more and more people who are optimistic about the city, a lot of vacant land has been built into houses, and it is almost impossible to buy a large tract of open land that is connected to each other.

If it is possible to separate the factory and build it in several places, it will be a lot more trouble, Duhrin thought about it, and asked Rhodes to go back and get ready first, and he will go to the city hall to see if there is a more suitable place.

He didn't say hello when he went to City Hall, Scott wasn't here, and the guy was now watching in the Eighth District every day. One is to supervise the progress of construction, and the other is to coordinate some contradictions. With so many projects starting at the same time in the eighth district, there will definitely be some contradictions or conflicts, for example, your garbage is dumped on my side, and his project is blocking the sewage pipe of someone's house, in short, there are many things that need to be done by him.

These things seem to be small things, but if they are not handled well, they can easily brew into big trouble. In addition, the workers and trade unions are all moving around the construction site, and there must always be someone who is good at talking and has a certain strength to sit on the construction site to coordinate all this. The mayor couldn't go, only his henchman Scott went.

When he arrived at the town hall, Dührin announced his name, and the mayor immediately received him. As he had considered, Durin had now quietly become the biggest financier of Illian City Hall, not one of them.

Whether it is his jewelry store, the 20 million project under construction, or his winery, he can provide a large amount of money for the management of the Illian region to support his own governance philosophy, and at the same time, Dulin can also provide tens of thousands of jobs, making a remarkable contribution to the security and stability of the Illian region.

The fact that mayors in many places are obscure is not because they are incapable or unwilling to do something, but because they don't have the money. For example, building a road, it seems very simple, a phrase of a dozen letters can write this phrase on paper, but it takes a lot of money to really implement it.

If you have money, such as Ilian, the mayor will build roads if he wants to, and parks will build parks if he wants, so what about those poor, economically underdeveloped cities?

Big eyes and small eyes!

So as soon as I heard that Du Lin was here in person, the mayor also personally greeted him, last time Du Lin did not have such a good treatment, with his industrial layout more and more, his status is also rapidly improving.

"I know you're busy, so I'll cut it short. Without further greetings, Doolin directly stated the purpose of his trip, "I want to buy a little land to expand the winery." ”

The mayor asked with some confusion, "Didn't I hear that you bought a large area of land?", Du Lin shook his head and said that it was not enough, and the mayor was even more surprised, "How many bottles and barrels of wine do you plan to produce each month?"

Durin stretched out a hand, he didn't let the mayor guess, it was a fool's move, "500,000 bottles of wine, barrels of wine have no plans for the time being." ”

The mayor raised his eyebrows, and there was a smile on his face. 500,000 bottles of wine, according to the principle of special tax payment currently implemented in the Illian region, he can make the decision to take a little less tax, just 50 percent, a bottle of wine earns ten yuan, and Durin must pay five yuan in tax. 500,000 bottles is 2.5 million a month, and Durin's taxes alone in a month have already exceeded 50% of the total tax revenue in the Illian region, how can he not be happy?

He immediately stood up, walked over to the couch group for the reception, and pulled back a curtain on the wall, revealing a map of the entire Illian region. He pointed to the map on the wall and smiled and said, "Come, you can draw whatever place you want." ”

Dulin was not polite, he stood up and walked over, he carefully looked at the plan, there was no vacant land in the first district, there was a little bit in the second district, but it was all scattered. The situation in the third district is the same as that in the second district, it seems that there is still a lot of idle land, but the east and west are not effectively connected and utilized. There was some land in the fourth district, and there were three vacant plots in the fifth district that seemed to meet his requirements.

Just as Dührin was about to point to the fifth district, he suddenly saw an unexpected clearing in the lower part of the map, and he asked with some curiosity, "Is this also the territory of the Illian region?"

The mayor rightly affirmed Durin's question, and Dulin immediately changed his mind, pointed to the empty block and said, "I want this!"

The mayor immediately asked someone from the Land Use Authority Management Office to come and sign an agreement with Doolin, and stamped it, and then taught the document to Dorin, "From today on, this land is your private property, to be honest, I didn't think you would choose this place, is there any way to say it?", he smiled and asked the people from the Land Authority Management Office to leave, and asked this question curiously.

Because Durin did not choose any piece of land on the Ilian land, but chose a small island about three kilometers from the Ilian coastline. The area of the island is too small for tourism development or other projects, and at the same time, it is a little far from the coastline of Ilian, and there is no landscape on the island, it is just an ordinary island covered with vegetation, so it has not been included in the agenda of tourism development in Ilian.

If it weren't for Durin discovering this place, the mayor would have almost forgotten that he still had an island in his hands.

Regarding the mayor's curiosity, Durin laughed, "Because it's on the sea!"

"Every month I have a huge amount of wine to be shipped out, and if it is not only a hassle to transport it from the city to the port, but also a port warehouse. It's better to solve it at one time, the ship comes at any time, and it can be loaded and left at any time, and there is no need to worry about thieves, which solves a lot of trouble for me. ”
