America's Big Hero

"Teach you an old Chinese saying 'that can be replaced'!"

"..." Sol looked confused.

Say, when did you secretly learn Chinese.

"What do you mean?"

Sean didn't explain to Saul what it means to be replaced by Bi Ke. After all, if you want to find out, you have to start with how awesome the First Emperor is, that...it's too long.

The two got on the yellow broken Suzuki again, and once again saw the parking lot hidden among the flowers in the woods, Sol didn't have a good impression.

Leaving the manor on the road leading to New York, Saul asked listlessly, "Send you back to Newark?"

"Go to Brooklyn, New York." Sean said without hesitation. He had already figured out where to go next since he had just heard the $[-].

"What are you doing there?"

"Take you to meet a friend, an indispensable member of my future plan." Sean said inscrutablely.

"It's weird." Sol gave Sean a sideways look. He hadn't seen this guy change a lot in more than a year. If it wasn't for this charming face, he would be a different person.

……

New York, Brooklyn, 78th Street.

It was already dark when we left Rockefeller Manor, and it was almost 10 o'clock when we arrived in Brooklyn.

After dark, the Big Apple City is still brightly lit and noisy, it is a city that never stops.

A man with a height of 185 in a brown T-shirt and a cigarette in his mouth is leaning against the gate of a bar. He has a thin face, a tall nose, blue eyes, and deep and melancholy eyes. His body seems to be full of stories, which attracts the women who enter the bar to turn their heads. , and the more intimate sister saw through his exhaustion and was ready to take off his disguise...

"That's it." Sean yelled, and Sol slammed on the brakes and broke Suzuki to stop beside the handsome guy.

"Yuri!" Sean yelled at the handsome guy as he opened the car door.

"Sean." Yuri walked over with a big smile, waved his hands and clapped his hands hard, and gave him another big hug.

"Let me introduce, this wrinkled guy is Saul, Saul Goodman, a lawyer." Sean pointed to Saul who got out of the car, then patted Yuri on the shoulder and said, "Uri , Yuri Olov, a life and death brother in the trenches."

"Hello." Yuri reached out to shake Sol's hand, "When he was in the army, Sean always mentioned your name of 'Slick Jimmy'."

"Hello, Sean just told me that you are his best comrade-in-arms." Sol opened his eyes and said nonsense.

"Come on, let's go in and talk, I've made all the arrangements." Yuri greeted.

As soon as he entered the bar, the sound of explosive music hit his eardrums, making Sean feel a little uncomfortable. There were already a lot of people in the meeting, the dance floor was full of writhing bodies, and the DJ with a big headset was playing discs with enthusiasm. The atmosphere in the bar was Very hot.

Under Yuri's leadership, the two walked towards the second floor. Along the way, both the service staff of the bar and the regular customers here greeted Yuri one after another.

The three arrived on the second floor, and Yuri arranged a private room, but Sean waved his hand, "No, just sit outside."

"Okay." Yuri didn't object. Sean was the squad leader on the battlefield back then, and listening to Sean had become a habit.

The three sat down, and Sean put one hand on the railing and looked at the crowded first floor with a smile: "You manage this bar well."

"I'm not in charge of this, I'm just in charge of watching the scene and dealing with those troublemakers." Yuri smiled and waved his hands, "What would you like to drink?"

"Get all the best wine in your store." Sean snapped his fingers.

"We've ordered so much, we can't drink it." Sol was taken aback, there must be a limit to using alcohol to relieve sorrow, don't drink it into the hospital.

"Is that wine?" Sean smiled mysteriously, "That's the wealth code."

Yuri smiled and nodded to Sean, stretched out his hand to greet someone to come over and give some instructions, and then asked aloud, "Why did you come to Brooklyn all of a sudden?"

"Deal with the will issue." Sean didn't hide anything, and said the matter again.

While talking, three waitresses in tube top short skirts with slender waists twisted like water snakes brought over drinks on trays.

"Stolichnaya Soviet Red Label Vodka." After stopping the conversation, Yuri took the wine from the tray and introduced it on the table.

"Captain Morgan, this is Captain Morgan, white rum from Puerto Rico."

"This is gin, England's Befeater, and this is also England's gin, Lariors."

"Whiskey, but it's from Canada, Seagrand VO Seagrartis, this one is from our United States, Four Roses Bourbon Whiskey."

"French brandy, Golden Flower VSOP Camus, this one is Bisquit VSOP, also from France."

After the introduction, a hot wine delivery girl gave Sean a big wink with her big watery eyes, and when she turned around, she rubbed Sean's arm hard with her rounded body.

Xiao En smiled and stretched out his hand to grab it hard. I don't know if it was because the palm was too big. The middle finger seemed to have scratched somewhere, which caused the girl to scream in pain, bit her lower lip, and turned back to Xiao En. Blow a kiss.

The three laughed, and Yuri opened a bottle of brandy and poured it for the two, "Come on, drink!"

"There is nothing unhappiness that a bottle of wine can't solve!"

"If there is, then add another big ass girl!"

Chapter 7: Getting rich starts from a copycat

"You can still make wine?" Yuri was surprised.

"You want to fake wine?" Saul was worthy of being a lawyer, pointing to the core of the problem.

"Will you be able to talk? How can this be called fake wine!" Sean glanced at Sol, "Is this called fake wine?"

"Otherwise?" Saul spread his hands.

"How can the matter of the brewer be called a fake!"

"This is called a cottage!"

Seeing that Sol still wanted to ask, Sean waved his hand and continued, "Yurui, how much is a bottle of this French brandy?"

"55 US dollars, the market price is 120 for normal imports, and more than 400 US dollars in regular bars. However, this kind of smuggled product is only sold for more than 200 in our bars. Of course, few people want a bottle. Most of them are sold as base wine."

"If I blend it, then the cost of a bottle of wine is only about 0.5 US dollars. If it is in large quantities, it may be 0.3 US dollars a bottle." Sean had a mysterious smile on his face.

"Oh my god, it's impossible!"

"Are you joking!"

"How could it be so cheap!" Sol and his eyes were so hanging out, they hugged their heads with disbelief on their faces.

Sean snapped his fingers confidently, "It's that cheap. Of course, the bottle, outer packaging, transportation, and labor are not included. I'm talking about the value of pure wine."

"How much are those things worth? Do they add up to 2 dollars!" Saul yelled exaggeratedly, shaking his hands.

"The profit of the drug pot? Can the drug pot be sold publicly?"

"The scale of the drug trade... well, it should be bigger than the alcohol market, but not too much."

"But the profit ratio of pan-drugs is too low." Xiao En sneered and shook his head, his face full of disdain, "That kind of low-end stuff, only the gangsters and the uneducated people would like it."

"Low end, ignorance!"

"This, more than 20 times the profit, this is impossible, this is too exaggerated!" Yuri propped his hands on the table, looked at the glassware, his mind was muddled, and he murmured unconsciously.

"I don't think those wineries have such a big profit. As far as I know, many French wineries don't make much money, and some still lose money." Sol frowned tightly.

"Nonsense, they made it, and I made it out of blending, can it be the same!" Sean rolled his eyes, "Do you know how long it takes to make a good bottle of brandy and how much labor it takes? ?”

Brandy is not just white.

Like white wine, brandy is also a distilled spirit, except that the raw material is grapes or fruits, but it must be placed in wooden barrels for many years after production, and the best age is 25 to 40 years old.

The barrels are mainly oak barrels, and different oak barrels have different tastes. The 'black oak barrels' are Armagnac, and the 'Lidson' oak barrels are mostly cognac.

There is the term 'cognac' in brandy. Cognac is a region. Only the grape distilled wine that has been fermented, distilled and stored in oak barrels in this region can be called cognac, but not in other regions.

Cognac is divided into many grades, VS grade (less than 4 and a half years old), VSOP grade (between 4 and a half and 6 and a half years old), XO grade (more than 6 and a half years old), dry The longer the wine is stored, the better the quality and the higher the price.

All brandy distilleries use letters to distinguish quality, E (special) F (good) V (very good) O (old) S (excellent) P (pale and old) X (extraordinary)

Therefore, this bottle of real Jinhua VSOPCamus is a wine that has been aged for more than 4 and a half years, and the price is really not expensive.

Among other things, inflation alone will cause prices to rise by a higher level.

"And the cost of a bottle of wine like our cottage depends on how much a kilogram of edible alcohol is." Xiao En spread his hands with a smile, "As for the coloring and flavoring, do you need to consider the price of that stuff?"

Sol and the two stood there dumbfounded, shaking their heads in response to Sean's words. This profit really scared the two of them.

"One ton of edible alcohol can make about 4000 bottles of this 700ml wine. If it is sold at a smuggling price of 45 yuan, no, only 40 yuan, that is 16 US dollars!"

"As for the cost, it depends entirely on how much a ton of alcohol costs. I remember the market price is around $700 a ton."

Sean shrugged his shoulders, "Actually, industrial alcohol can also be used, and the price is lower."

"No, no, oh my god, this is already amazing, you still want to use industrial alcohol, you, damn it, capitalist, vampire!" Yuri didn't doubt Xiao En's words, he rushed over and grabbed Xiao En uncontrollably The shoulders are laughing wildly, and the little tongue is clearly visible.

On the other hand, Saul was much calmer, but he couldn't control his trembling when he spoke, "You, you, can you really deserve it? This, this is simply ridiculous. Those people have worked hard for hundreds of years to make it. Things can be produced at such a low price, and the profit is so high, then...then what kind of wine do you still have, go and blend them like you."

"First, what I want to say is that all wines can be blended." Sean said with great certainty, "As long as the craftsmanship is good enough and precise enough, at least for ordinary people, they can't drink it at all. Fake, of course, there are people like wine tasters, but I am not going to sell them."

"Second, it's just that you don't understand the 'wine' industry." Xiao En said to himself, I will tell you, did I work in Changli, Hebei QHD? Master of fake wine?

"In fact, the largest consumer group of wine is ordinary people, and they can't tell whether it's true or not, and the reason why they still have to work hard is to shape culture, taste, and style, and it's also to raise the threshold of competition and give others Those who want to enter the industry set up obstacles."

"It's like cognac. If you change the region, the same craftsmanship is not called French cognac, and it is not the best brandy."

"Those drunk guys in the bar, you can give him a bottle of horse urine and he can drink it down." Sean curled his lips, "It's like the law is there, whether it is a crime or not, the judge can directly judge the punishment according to the law. What do you need a lawyer for?"

Speaking of his job, Saul immediately retorted, "There should be a lawyer, the judge is just a neutral person, he is right to both the defense and the prosecution..."

"Okay, I'm not here to discuss this issue with you, I'm here to tell you the truth." Sean waved his hand and interrupted Saul.

"Okay, what do you talk so much about?" Yuri waved his hands vigorously. This guy is an activist who doesn't want to use his brain. "Come on, Sean, deploy it for us to see, and then we will know everything."

"OK!" Sean gestured, "I've prepared the alcohol content, now I'm going to adjust the color."

"This requires some pigments. Commonly used pigments are red, yellow, blue, and green. Pepper red, beet red, monascus red, sodium copper chlorophyll, turmeric, gardenia yellow, phycocyanin, cocoa pigment, caramel color What."

"This thing is divided into food coloring and industrial coloring. I am more conscientious and use food grade."

"Edibles are divided into natural pigments and synthetic pigments. I choose synthetic ones."

"Cheap!!"

Sol gave a thumbs up. If you don't get rich, it's fucking unreasonable!

The street lights on the street must have one of yours!

"Natural pigments are also fine." Yuri was a little embarrassed, and interjected a sentence beside him, "This thing is cheap, and the cost in the wine is probably less than 1 cent."

"Stupid!" Sean raised his head and glared at Yuri, "Whoever said that natural pigments must be better than synthetic pigments."

"Although some synthetic pigments are indeed not very good, such as amaranth, which can cause cancer, it is the result of long-term consumption."

"The main reason is that natural pigments are more complex and not as easy to adjust as synthetic pigments, understand!"

"It's so easy for you to mix a color!"

Yuri was so bullied that he didn't dare to speak, but Saul curled his lips quietly. He still felt that Sean was too expensive.

Chapter 8: Untitled...

"It's a good thing, after all, there are still [-] US dollars per month." Yuri comforted with a smile.

Sol snorted, picked up the wine and downed it in one gulp, he is still aggrieved now.

"Of course, every time you receive 1 yuan, you can remind me once!" Sean narrowed his eyes and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.

"Let's not talk about this, you are financially free now, what are your plans in the future." Yuri picked up the wine glass and touched the two of them again, "I wanted to draw you to my side before, you must have done better than me Well, now, no need."

That's not necessarily the case, Xiao En straightened his face, put down his wine glass, put his arms around the shoulders of the two men, pulled their heads over and said in a low voice, "I'm going to...!"

"Huh?" Sol was taken aback, thinking he had heard it wrong.

"Ah!" Yuri stared, and thought of something instantly, "The Rockefellers? That's not easy, maybe I'll get myself into it."

"You're crazy!" Saul grabbed Sean.

Xiao En lowered his voice and continued: "He Yuegang knows that there are a lot of rich people, and there are a lot of new rich people over there, and they don't know how to protect themselves. As long as they do it, they will succeed, and it will be no problem to make tens of millions. "

"I have made all the plans. The richest man over there is surnamed..., and they will go back to the United States directly after it is done. They have nothing to do!" Sean said with a serious face, how to hijack a car from the top of the mountain, how to bring a bomb to communicate, how to ambush The threat of snipers in the air made them dare not retaliate. The Chinese traditions of emphasizing their children's successors are well said.

Apparently this has been planned for a long time, with a high success rate.

"Tens of millions?" Saul gritted his teeth, "Hong Kong dollars?"

"Dollar!"

"hiss!!!"
