Chapter 236: Get the hops, the cans are hot
"But...... Can I ask, what does Knight Luo Yin want these hops for?"
Morris asked, somewhat curiously.
Although this thing has a certain medicinal value, it is still much worse than the finished medicine.
This thing is also used by ordinary people, and there are many substitutes that can treat stomach and digestion, not that only hops can be used.
So, is this thing really that valuable?
Luo Yin glanced at him, and then said: |
"Winemaking."
In the future, the consumption of hops will be very large, and this hops is not on his own territory, Luo Yin can't hide it if he wants to.
He only needs to seize the market and occupy the market before anyone else finds out, and it doesn't matter if it is known at that time.
So he told Morris directly.
"Winemaking?"
Morris was stunned for a moment, then his eyes flickered.
Brewing, that's big business!
And looking at Luo Yin like this, he should be completely sure, so with Luo Yin's capital, how big is the scale and profit of this "new wine"?
"Lord Knight Luo Yin, you are actually engaged in such a big business as brewing, isn't that one million bags a little less for twenty years, after all, so many citizens of Panshan City live on these things......
Morris opened quietly.
"Huh? General Morris is not satisfied with the price?"
Luo Yin frowned.
"Satisfied, of course satisfied! But don't I have to think about the citizens, if I have the opportunity to fight for more benefits for them, then even if you are Lord Luo Yin, I must fight for it......
Morris seemed respectful, but he was still reluctant to pass up the opportunity. What is for the benefit of the citizens is completely for himself.
O greedy man!
Luo Yin looked at Moseley with a cold expression.
"Tsk, General Morris is really a good general who loves the people like a son!"
"Thank you, Lord Royin, for the compliment! I treat citizens like my own children!"
Morris said righteously, and then secretly looked at Luo Yin.
To be honest, he was a little apprehensive about asking for benefits from Luo Yin. But people die for money, and birds die for food!
Luo Yin asked these hops to do the brewing business! Wine is so profitable, not to mention sharing some meat, at least let him drink soup!
Anyway, he now has a handle in Luo's hands, whether he resists or not, this handle will always exist.
Unless he kills Luo Yin, the two of them will die together!
Of course, he won't, and he doesn't dare to do this, and finally has his current status, and he wants to live two more years.
So now he has a feeling that he is not afraid to wear shoes with bare feet, and no matter how bad it is, it won't be much worse anyway, so he might as well take the opportunity to ask for more benefits.
If you give it, you will earn blood, and if you don't give it to him, you won't lose.
Luo Yin looked at Morris, then thought for a moment before speaking:
"Okay, since General Morris is so considerate of the citizens, then I can't be this wicked person......
Morriston's eyes were happy, but he didn't speak, quietly waiting for Luo Yin to finish.
"As long as you can guarantee that only I can get these hops, provide me with a certain amount of hops every month, and you have to help me hide the effect of hops, how long can you hide them......
Luo Yin said a lot of additional conditions, and then finally got to the point.
"I'll give you a million hardship fees every month, and as for how to divide it, I don't mind if you give it all to the citizens."
Million!
There was undisguised joy and greed in Morris's eyes.
Originally, Luo Yin said that one million packs for twenty years, but now he has to give him an extra million every month!
The price is absolutely sincere!
After all, it's given every month!
You know, he is in Panshan City
After so many years in business and so many places like entertainment, you can get two or three million every month.
And his own salary is only 20,000 yuan a month.
Although this million is a lot of additional conditions, but those are small things, he is not afraid of trouble!
Looking at the other party's expression, Luo Yin had a smile on his face.
It's only a million, which is not worth mentioning in the face of huge profits in the future. And spending this million can save a lot of trouble.
If nothing else, there will really be some accidents in the future, Morris may be more positive than Luo Yin, the boss!
And this is what Luo Yin wants, after all, Morris has a huge army in his hands, and some things are much more convenient than Luo Yin.
However, Luo Yin still has some regrets.
"It's a pity that our country occupies too few mountainous areas. What if I could have the whole mountain, and I would give you five million?"
The United Kingdom of Stokato occupies only about one-fifth of the entire Panshan Mountains. The remaining four-fifths were occupied by the kingdom of Sauter.
Hops grow on these hills.
Hops, with a slight difference, have a great impact on the final flavor. Even if the hops are grown in the same plot, the beer produced may taste different.
So if you have a whole mountain of hops, you can not only expand the flavor of the beer, but also pick out some of the best in it.
It's not as simple as one plus one equals two.
And when Morris heard Luo Yin's words, his eyes flashed.
"Does Lord Luo Yin's words count?"
"Of course it counts. But what did you say?"
Luo Yin was a little puzzled.
Morris whispered:
"That's what you said if you take down the entire Panshan ......."
"Shhh......h
Luo Yin looked at him with some shock.
The corners of Morris's mouth twitched, and there was a hint of madness and greed in his eyes.
"We are on a par with the kingdom of Sauter, and there is no question of who is stronger than whom. The area occupied by the two sides in the Panshan Mountains has been changing, and whoever is ruthless will occupy more, and whoever instigates will occupy less. I've been resting for a long time, and it's time to warm up......
「…… You're a general, you call it your way."
Luo Yin didn't meddle in military affairs indiscriminately, he was not very familiar with the situation here, and Morris had been here for so many years, so he obviously knew better than him.
"Don't worry, Lord Luo Yin, I will take care of the ......."
Morris grinned.
What a greedy man! Luo Yin sighed again.
But the more greedy people are, the better they will cooperate at some point.
"Lord Luo Yin, we have a new project opening here today, I wonder if you are interested in going and playing?"
Morris said suddenly.
"Oh? Since General Morris personally invited me, then I have to go and see it."
Luo Yin did not refuse.
Seeing that Luo Yin agreed, Morris had a smile on his face.
"Please. By the way, Mr. Luo Yin may not know, I was hand-picked by His Majesty the King. You must also be trusted by His Majesty the King, right? Then we're our own people!"
「…… That means we're very lucky!"
Luo Yin wanted to say, he wasn't, don't talk nonsense.
But the Medal of Honor can't be faked, he can only admit it silently.
……
In the evening, Luo Yin was politely sent back to the hotel by Morris.
Morris wanted to invite Luo Yin to his private mansion, but Luo Yin refused.
After all, Morris is still a bit dangerous, in order to prevent the other party from doing some irrational behavior, Luo Yin is better off staying within Janet's protection.
Janet and the others didn't know that Luo Yin and Morris had a showdown, and when Luo Yin told them, they instantly entered a tense state of alert
。
Although Luo Yin felt that the other party was a smart person, he had to guard against others. He is still very satisfied with everyone's vigilance.
Luo Yin played in Panshan City for two more days, and then he was ready to go back.
In the past two days, Morris has asked the soldiers to go to the mountains to pick hops, and they have already picked a lot. These hops will be brought back by Luo Yin.
Luo Yin set up an acquisition shop here, and will buy hops for a fee in the future, and will open a special factory in the future.
Although Panshan is a military land, this is all a matter of Morris's words, he ordered an opening to let some people go up the mountain to pick every day, but the picking can only be sold to Luo Yin's purchase shop. This is also a good thing in Panshan City, after all, it has increased the income of residents.
After loading all these hops, Luo Yin left Panshan City under the farewell of General Morris.
Before leaving, the two met individually.
Morris was still a little uneasy, and asked Luo Yin if he was talking and didn't report him.
Luo Yin said that Morris had no choice but to choose to believe him. Then he said that he would never break his word.
Morris really can't help it, believe Luo Yin, he is probably fine. If you don't believe Luo Yin and don't let Luo Yin go, then he will definitely have something!
There was no way, he had to send Luo Yin away with some grievances.
After successfully leaving the confines of Panshan City, Janet and the others were relieved. After all, no matter how nice Morris says, he has to be prevented from changing his mind.
Now it seems that there is a high probability that it will be fine. However, you still can't relax on this way, and you have to cheer up twelve points before you reach Qiongbi City.
At a certain moment, Janet came to Luo Yin's car.
"I'm very sorry, my lord, but I have to be on guard at all times to make sure that I am safe along the way, so I don't have much time to serve you......
Janet spoke apologetically.
"It's not an apology."
Luo Yin suddenly spoke.
"Huh?"
Janet was stunned for a moment, Luo Yin couldn't embarrass her in this kind of thing! Then she saw the smile on the corner of Luo Yin's mouth, and her face immediately turned red.
"Your Excellency...... Do you think that's going to work?"
Janet came to Luo Yin, knelt on the precious wool carpet, and gently opened her red lips, not knowing what she wanted to say to Luo Yin, but Yi Yi couldn't say it clearly.
A day later, early in the morning, Luo Yin saw the calendar on the car and was suddenly a little stunned.
"It's the 1st today!"
Today is January 1, 1026, and before you know it, another year has passed.
It's a pity that I'm on the road now, and I can't celebrate with the cat lady.
"Janet."
Luo Yin shouted. The convoy stopped, and Janet got into the car.
"My lord, what are your commands?"
"Half a day off today, you find a place. After all, it's the first day of the new year, so let's celebrate a little."
Luo Yin said with a smile.
"Yes, sir!"
Soon, the convoy stopped in a small town.
didn't celebrate much fanfare, that is, bought a new thing, ate a simple meal, and then Luo Yin gave each of them a red envelope of 10,000 yuan.
got this red envelope, not to mention other policemen, even Janet was excited, a red envelope of 10,000 yuan! She has never received such a big red envelope in her life.
After a brief celebration, the car was back on the road.
After day and night, I finally saw Qiongbi City.
"It's finally here!"
Luo Yin stretched his waist, and his body crackled.
Because Janet has been on guard, she can't come to massage Luo Yin, which also causes Luo Yin to be uncomfortable along the way.
Soon, the car drove into the Tulip Manor.
When Misha and the others heard the movement, they hurriedly ran out to check, and when they saw that it was Luo Yin back, their faces showed happiness
smiles.
Luo Yin was a little surprised, but he didn't expect the manor to be quite lively today.
In addition to Misha, the Three Little Ones, and Luke, Novia and Hetty are also there.
"Brother~"
After Luo Yin got out of the car, he and Misha came to a warm hug. It's not that there are many scruples, Misha may be shy, and Luo Yin has to kiss no matter what he says.
Then Luo Yin hugged each of them with the three little ones, and the three little ones didn't have so many scruples, so they came up and kissed Luo Yin on the face.
"You've all grown up, shame on you!"
Touching the saliva on his face, Luo Yin pretended to be angry.
The three little ones each made a grimace at Luo Yin.
Novia and Hetty also walked up at this time, both with worried looks in their eyes. Although Luo Yin had already reported to them that he was safe before he came back, there was no way to contact them along the way, and they naturally couldn't be completely relieved when they couldn't see anyone.
Seeing the two of them coming, Luo Yin generously opened his arms.
Novia was not polite, and hugged Luo Yin gently.
Hetty was a little embarrassed, but she still didn't refuse Luo Yin's hug.
"Alright, let's go in and say."
After everyone entered, Luo Yin briefly talked about his experience in this industry, about Morris's use of sugar-coated shells to corrode himself, Luo Yin had to choose to say, and some less important things were omitted.
After listening, everyone was a little amazed. They all felt that Luo Yin was a little risky, but the matter had been successfully completed, so he didn't say anything more, just told Luo Yin to pay attention to safety in the future.
Luo Yin asked them how they were doing these days, and whether it was lively to welcome the New Year.
The three little ones immediately rushed to say that these days have been very lively, and the entire Qiongbi City is a sea of festivals. There are still many large-scale performances that have come to Qiongbi City, and if Luo Yin comes back two days earlier, he should still be able to see them.
The city hall, which has always been slammed, has spent a lot of money this time. The effect is also very good. The people inside and outside the city are less hostile......
Compared with a year or two ago, Qiongbi City is hardly a place, and both economic development and residents' living standards have improved by several grades.
And among them, Luo Yin alone accounts for at least half of the credit.
Tulip Sugar Company and Jumian Textile Company have become the city's business cards, both of which have created many jobs, not to mention other economic benefits.
In addition to these two large companies, there are a number of other companies, such as Bauhinia Bank, Miro Restaurant, etc., which also create high economic benefits.
Not to mention Qiongbi Military Industry and Violet Food Company, which has only been established for a long time, especially this food company, which is a real big factory, and the scale is close to that of Jumian Textile Company!
However, these are not the most important things, the most important thing is the Jombi Stock Exchange!
Don't look at the Qiongbi Exchange, it now brings Luo Yin more than three million profits every month. But its role in the development of Qiongbi City is definitely incomparable to any company, not even Luo Yin's other companies.
Because of other companies' products, those people from other cities don't have to come to buy them, they can buy them in their own city.
But the Jombi Exchange is different, if you want to buy stocks, you can only come here.
Many people come to the city every day, and even some people live in the city or buy a house here.
These people are rich people, and the spending power they bring is terrifying.
Especially around the exchange, all kinds of buildings have sprung up like mushrooms. With the Jombi Exchange as the center, it radiates out in all directions.
What restaurants, hotels, chess and card rooms and the like, are very complete.
Now it has been called the new town by the people of Qiongbi City, and the area that was originally dominated by the city hall is the old town.
Therefore, this exchange alone can top half of Qiongbi City!
Among them, Luo Yin is still the biggest winner.
Because not only the exchange is his, but even the exchange week
The encircled land is also his!
After becoming a city councilor, Luo Yin bought a large amount of land at one time.
He built the exchange on this land.
It's just that in order to attract merchants to settle here, Luo Yin has launched preferential policies. These plots can be rented free of charge for two years, and then rent will start after two years.
This policy was still very effective, and it immediately attracted a lot of people.
After all, the Qiongbi Exchange is so hot now, which has caused the housing prices in the entire Qiongbi City to rise a lot! Give them free rent, and you can leave a lot of money left!
In the early stage, these petty little Li Luo Yin naturally looked down on it, and if they wanted to earn it, they would make a big profit, and the rent for two years was only worth a few dollars?
After attracting everyone, it's not fragrant for him to engage in real estate!
Now the scale of the new city is still a little worse, don't rush for now, and then wait. After there are many people, Luo Yin can start to engage in real estate. After all, he still has so much land in his hands, isn't it a waste not to build a house?
Luo Yin had already asked Lucia to pay attention to it, and found that there were talents in construction, and they could be recruited directly. Even if you draw a design in the office every day, it's fine. As long as they can design some better commercial houses, then Luo Yin will not treat them badly......
Luo Yin rested at home for two days, and today is January 8th.
The various enterprises have basically started, and Luo Yin first went to the newly established brewery. In addition to hops, all the manpower and material resources, Novia has been ready for a long time, and now that the hops are in place, production began immediately. Of course, it is a small-scale production, after all, it is necessary to debug the specific and uniform flavor.
Luo Yin and Novia exchanged opinions with each other, discussed, and set the direction for the future, and after making sure that there was no problem, Luo Yin cheered for Novia, and then under Novia's eyes, he was the first to boil.
In the afternoon, he went to the canning factory of Violet Foods.
Now the canneries and the Dawn Company have Lucia busy, and Luo Yin basically doesn't have to worry about it.
However, Luo Yin still came today, because today is the day when canned fruits for civilian use are put on sale.
Since the machine for sealing iron cans has not yet been made, the canning factory can only produce cans in glass bottles. The efficiency of glass bottle and canned production is very high, and after a month of expedited production, it has sent a lot to the overseas fleet of Shuguang Company. Shuguang said it was enough for the time being.
Then the canneries will have time to make civilian cans.
In fact, military canned food is not much different from civilian canned food, but the quantity is less, and then the production is not as strict as that of the military industry, and the shelf life will be shorter.
Luo Yin had previously recruited some professional food safety monitors, and they set a shelf life of three months for military glass bottles and cans. The shelf life set for civilian glass bottles and cans is one month.
In terms of price, civilian canned food is naturally cheaper. The price of canned fruit in military glass bottles is 50 yuan a bottle, and the price of canned fruit for civilian use is 35 yuan a bottle.
The price is definitely very affordable, and of course, it can't be compared with fresh fruits and vegetables.
But canned food is a new thing after all, and when I heard that the civilian version of canned food was about to hit the market, the whole city of Qiongbi was filled with discussions.
After all, this is the legendary canned food that can cure the diseases of those soldiers!
Although Violet Food Company has long said that those diseases are caused by unbalanced nutrition, everyone will be fine if they eat more vegetables and fruits.
But knowing is knowing, and this still can't stop everyone's curiosity.
When the canned food came on the market on this day and was available in various stores in Qiongbi City, it immediately caused a rush of rushes.
The price of thirty-five yuan is not cheap, but the people of Qiongbi City have some money now, which is not bad.
And they have all been baptized by the price of gem candy, white sugar, rock sugar and other things, and a small box of gem candy is a hundred yuan!
And such a bottle of canned food is only thirty-five yuan!
And I heard that there is a lot of sugar added to this can, isn't this equivalent to buying both canned food and sugar at one time!
So, on the day the canned food went on the market, 50,000 bottles were sold in Qiongbi City!
That's more than 1.7 million sales!
On this day alone, the Violet Company can earn six or seven hundred thousand!
Luo Yin knew that the sales of canned food should be good, but he didn't expect it to be so good.
After some market research, the reason for the popularity of canned food came out, which is roughly divided into two aspects.
On the one hand, it is naturally because canned food is more "magical" and it can cure diseases.
On the other hand, it's because it's delicious!
Here, everyone has a very strange habit in eating, that is, "eat raw vegetables and cooked fruits". This cooked means cooked.
Luo Yin has complained about this strange habit more than once.
As for sugar, they like to eat it alone. After all, sugar is too expensive, and eating it with something else always feels a bit wasteful.
So, when they don't even eat much normal fruits, they suddenly eat fruits soaked in sugar water, which is simply the discovery of a new world.
Delicious, buy!
