Chapter 8: Fortune Starts with Cottages
"You can also make wine?" Yuri looked surprised.
"You're going to make fake wine?" Saul is a lawyer and gets to the heart of the matter.
"Can't speak, how can this be called fake wine!" Sean glanced sideways at Saul, "Is this called fake?" ”
"Or else?" Thor spreads his hands.
"How can the winemaker's business be called a fake!"
"It's called a cottage!"
Seeing that Saul was about to ask, Sean waved his hand and continued: "Yuri, how much is a bottle of this French brandy on your side." ”
"55 US dollars, the market price is 120 if it is imported normally, and it will be sold for more than 400 US dollars in regular bars, but this kind of contraband, our bars only sell more than 200 dollars, of course, few people want a bottle, most of them are used as base wine."
"If I mix it, then a bottle of wine will cost about $0.5, and if I do it in large quantities, it may cost $0.3 a bottle." Sean had a mysterious smile on his face.
"Oh my god, this can't be!"
"Are you kidding!"
"How can it be so cheap!" Thor and his eyes hung out, holding their heads, their faces full of disbelief.
Sean snapped his fingers with a confident face, "It's so cheap, of course, bottles, packaging, transportation, and labor are counted separately, I'm talking about the value of pure wine." ”
"How much are those things worth, do they add up to $2!" Thor shook his hands and yelled exaggeratedly.
"Poison profits? Can Poison Pills be sold publicly? ”
"The size of the drug deal...... Well, this one should be bigger than the alcohol market, but it's not much bigger. ”
"But the profit ratio of pan-poison is too low." Sean sneered and shook his head, his face full of disdain, "That kind of low-end stuff can only be seen by the gangsters who have no culture." ”
"Low-end, ignorant!"
"This, more than 20 times the profit, this is impossible, this is too exaggerated!" Yuri propped his hands on the table, looking at the glassware, his mind muddy, and his mouth muttering unconsciously.
"I don't think those wineries are so profitable, as far as I know, a lot of French wineries don't make a lot of money, and some of them lose money." Thor's brows tightened.
"Nonsense, people make it, I specially blended it out, can it be the same!" Sean rolled his eyes widely, "Do you know how much time and labor it takes to actually make a good bottle of brandy?" ”
Brandy is not always white.
Like liquor, brandy is a distilled spirit, except that the raw material is grapes or fruits, but after it is produced, it must be left in wooden barrels for many years, and the best age is between 25 and 40 years old.
The barrels are mainly oak barrels, and the taste of different oak barrels is different, the 'black oak barrel' is Yamanac, and the 'Leadsen' oak barrel is mostly cognac.
Cognac is a region in which only grape distilled spirits that have been fermented, distilled and stored in oak barrels in this region can be called cognac, not in other regions.
Cognac is divided into many grades, VS (less than 4 and a half years old), VSOP (between 4 and a half years and 6 and a half years), XO (more than 6 and a half years), the longer the cognac is stored, the better the quality and the higher the price.
All brandy wineries use letters to distinguish quality, E (special), F (good), V (very good), O (old), S (good), P (light and old) X (extraordinary)
So, this bottle of real Golden Flower V. S. O. P. Camus is a wine that has been aged for more than 4 and a half years, so the price is really not expensive.
If nothing else, inflation alone will cause prices to rise by a step.
"And the cost of such a bottle of wine in our cottage depends on how much a kilogram of edible alcohol is." Sean smiled and spread his hands, "As for the pigments and flavors, do you need to consider the price of that thing?" ”
Thor and the others stood there dumbfounded, shaking their heads according to Sean's words, this profit really scared the two of them.
"A ton of edible alcohol can be configured for about 4,000 bottles of this 700ml bottle, and if it is sold at a smuggled price of 45 yuan, no, only 40 yuan, it will be 160,000 US dollars!"
"And the cost, it all depends on how much alcohol is a ton, I remember the market price is about $700 a ton."
Sean shrugged his shoulders, "Actually, you can use industrial alcohol, and the price is lower." ”
"No, no, no, oh my God, it's already amazing, you still want to use industrial alcohol, you damn it, capitalist, vampire!" Yuri didn't doubt Sean's words, he couldn't help but rush over and grab Sean's shoulder and laugh maniacally, his little tongue clearly visible.
On the other hand, Thor was much calmer, but he couldn't control his trembling when he spoke, "You, you, you can really deserve it?" This, this is simply ridiculous, those people who have worked hard for hundreds of years to make things can be made at such a low price, with such a high profit, that ...... Then what kind of wine do you still have, go and mix it like you. ”
"First of all, I would say that all the wine can be blended." Sean said in a very affirmative tone: "As long as the craftsmanship is up to date and accurate enough, at least, for ordinary people, they can't drink the real or fake at all, of course, there are indeed people like wine tasters, but I am not going to sell them to them." ”
"Second, interlacing is like a mountain, it's just that you don't understand the 'wine' industry." Sean muttered silently in his heart, I will tell you, am I mixed in Changli, QHD, Hebei, and was the master who specialized in making fake wine before I was shot in the head?
"In fact, the largest consumer group of wine is ordinary people, and they can't drink it at all, and the reason why they still have to work hard is entirely because it is necessary to shape culture, taste, and style, and it is also to raise the threshold of competition and set up obstacles for other people who want to enter the industry."
"It's like cognac, if you change the region, the same process is not called French cognac, and it is not the best brandy."
"Those drunken guys in the bar, if you give him a bottle of horse urine, he can pour it down." Sean pouted, "It's like the law is there, whether it's a crime or not, the judge will directly punish it according to the letter of the law, what do you want a lawyer to do?" ”
Speaking of his own work, Saul immediately retorted, "There should be a lawyer, the judge is only a neutral, and he ...... to both the defense and the prosecution."
"Okay, I'm not here to discuss this with you, I'm here to tell you the truth." Sean interrupted Saul with a wave of his hand.
"Okay, what are you going to do with so much talk." Yuri waved his hand vigorously, this guy was a doer who didn't want to use his brain, "Come on, Sean, deploy it and show us, and then we'll know everything." ”
“OK!” Sean gestured, "I've got the alcohol level, now I'm going to start adjusting the color." ”
"This requires some pigments, and the commonly used pigments are also red, yellow, blue, and green, capsicum red, beet red, monascus red, sodium copper chlorophyllin, turmeric, gardenia, phycocyanin, cocoa color, caramel color, etc."
"This thing is divided into food coloring and industrial coloring, and I still have a conscience and use food grade."
"There are two types of natural pigments and synthetic pigments for consumption, and I choose the synthetic ones."
"Cheap!!"
Thor gave a thumbs up, if you don't get rich, you don't have a,, no reason!
The street lamp on the street must have one of yours!
"You can also use natural colors." Yuri was a little dumbfounded, and interjected a sentence next to him, "This thing is cheap, and the cost in the wine is probably less than 1 cent." ”
"Stupid!" Sean looked up and glared at Yuri, "Who said that natural colors must be better than synthetic ones." ”
"Although some synthetic pigments are really not very good, such as amaranth red, which can cause cancer, it is the result of long-term consumption."
"Mainly, natural pigments are more complex, and there is no artificial pigment to adjust, understand!"
"It's so easy for you to make a color!"
Yuri was afraid to speak, but Thor pouted quietly, he still felt that Sean was too expensive.
