Chapter 151: Giving Wine
"Fifty-seven in all, so let's count sixty." Mikhail spoke to the merchants.
"This can't be done, erasing zero is not like this, brother, your family has a big business, and there is a large inheritance left by your ancestors, why bother me with a small worker." Giovanny, an employee of the Moscow labor company, said to Mikhail.
"Brother, my brother has been miserable all these years! Since the reform, my field has not increased, and I have to pay more labor costs, so I want to buy some machines to save some costs, but the price is simply too dark, and my batch of machines has not returned to the cost now! Mikhail complained.
After listening to Mikhail's words, Giovanni seemed to have made up his mind and said: "Brother, I can't see you suffering.
I know your character, you are a well-known honest man near Moscow, but business is business, and I can't let the company lose money.
In this way, I personally sponsored a bottle of Romantic Paris brand red wine, accompanied by two bottles of Wrangler vodka, and then this price! Let's still calculate according to what was said in advance, and I will suffer a little loss, but our friendship is naturally not measurable by money.
And what we are doing is not a one-shot deal, big brother, you know, we haven't been going back and forth for a day or two, and I will be the first to inform you if there is a benefit.
Next time, you receive the 'goods', just send it to us, our company has a great demand in the past two years, this business, in my opinion, can be done for at least another ten years, you can accumulate more, accumulate over time, others dare not say, it is still possible to earn some money for tobacco and alcohol. ”
With that, Giovanni took out a high-end looking box from the carriage and reluctantly gave it to Mikhail, carrying two bottles of Wrangler vodka tied to a rope that he had gotten out of nowhere.
When Mikhail opened the box, he was greeted by a bottle of delicately packaged red wine, and as the eldest coarse Mikhail directly opened the red wine with the screwdriver in the box, and tasted it with his mouth against the bottle.
Then, he pursed his lips thoughtfully and said, "This wine tastes good, but it's not strong enough, and I still prefer Wrangler." ”
Giovanni hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Brother, this is wine, naturally it is different from vodka, now the old men in the city drink in style, next time you invite some friends to use this wine is definitely enough to save face."
You look at the name, romantic Paris, as soon as you hear it, you know that it is imported from France, you see the introduction above, it is all in French, what does this mean!
I have probably heard people say that this romantic Paris is the ancient Roman emperor Caesar, who went west to Gaul, in a place called the Lover's Spring near Paris, thirsty, and then drank this spring, which felt very clear and sweet.
Later, a winemaker from the city of Rome heard about this, and made a special trip from Rome thousands of miles away to this place to make fine wine from this spring.
Because this wine was born near Paris and the water used comes from the Fountain des Lovers, it is called Romantic Paris. ”
Mikhail was puzzled: "Since this wine has such a big origin, why haven't you heard of it before?" ”
Giovanni said: "Although this wine has a relatively old history and a long history, it was discontinued due to wars and other reasons, and the Lover's Fountain finally dried up, and it disappeared into history with Rome."
That is, more than ten years ago, an Italian merchant discovered this record and the general recipe of wine when he was sorting out the manuscripts of his ancestors.
A French winemaker heard about the recipe and bought it from a merchant and reproduced it in Paris. ”
"The lover's fountain is gone, and the taste of this wine is different!" Mikhail said.
Giovanni had been waiting here for a long time, and he said: "Brother, you don't know this, no matter how good the water of this lover's spring is, it is also the water of Paris, so the quality of this water has not changed in essence.
Moreover, this wine has been verified by authoritative masters, and won the gold medal at the 2nd European Otoenological Congress.
Look at the carving on the lid of this box! In 1867, it won the Gold Medal at the European Oenological Congress.
Held in Hechengen, Germany, I heard that this wine was selected from many old brands and won a gold medal.
Twenty-four master tasters unanimously gave praise, can this taste be bad? ”
At this point, it is basically clear that this wine is a marketing brand, and it is absolutely inseparable from Ernst.
The so-called Lover's Spring, Italian merchants and French winemakers are all nothing.
And Romantic Paris is not even produced in Paris, the raw materials and factories are all in the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and they are just marketed around with a different trademark.
In order to sell the liquor, the Heixinggen consortium frantically engaged in more than 30 trademarks, each of which fabricated a romantic history or story, and none of them could be verified, all from a certain businessman or unknown historical materials.
The so-called European Brewing Conference is also made by the Heixingen Consortium itself, basically every self-produced wine has been awarded, and other manufacturers invited to the banquet are also treated the same, focusing on participation!
Of course, these things, in this era of relatively closed information, no one can distinguish between the halal and the fake, and Mikhail will be confused after a set of combination punches.
Believing this, Mikhail began to inquire about this wine, and he said to Giovanni: "Brother, where is this wine sold, and what is the price?" ”
"You can buy it in stores in Moscow and other cities, but if you want to avoid buying fakes, you have to go to the Gorregan store, which has official certifications," Giovanni said.
The bottle I gave you is only a medium price, worth six rubles, I heard that the high-quality one costs twelve rubles, and there is a collector's edition, which is not accessible to ordinary people, I heard that there are only more than two thousand bottles in Russia. ”
"So expensive!" Mikhail was a little surprised when he heard this.
"Brother, it's cheap enough, compared with those famous wines, the price of this romantic Paris is not expensive, and romantic Paris needs history and history, taste and taste, and culture and culture. Giovanni said.
"That's not necessary, usually there are no big people in my family, and they are not cultural people, it is enough to invite them to use Wrangler, and I can buy some for myself in the future." Mikhail said stingily.
"The Wrangler is good, at least in vodka." Giovanni said.
"Well, vodka is the symbol of Russia, and it would be interesting to invite them and the Wrangler." Mikhail said.
In fact, Wrangler Vodka is also a product of the Black Shingen Consortium, which specializes in supplying the Tsarist market and is used to expand the civilian market in Tsarist Russia, and has achieved a good reputation in Tsarist Russia with high intensity, purity and low price.
And the name Wrangler Vodka makes many Russians think that this is Russia's own brand.
Isn't the Wrangler a Cossack? Vodka needs to be said, this Cossack, as the cavalry of the tsar, really fits the characteristics of the high intensity of the Wrangler vodka.
