Red Dead Redemption: Western Consortium

Chapter 50 The Cost of Moonshining

"Thank you for your generosity, Mr. Callander."

10% of the profit from bootlegging allowed Benedict, who had been hit hard, to recover immediately.

Compared to a beautiful knife, nothing else matters.

There is nothing in this world that is more attractive than a beautiful knife.

Benedict also had no idea that the cooperation that David mentioned at the beginning would actually give him money. He originally thought it was just a joke.

After all, David has mastered his formula now, and judging from his current status, even if he is not given a share, there is nothing he can do.

He has met many capitalists and wealthy people, all of whom are ruthless characters who eat people without spitting out their bones.

These people are so greedy that they want to suck up every drop of blood and will never give up their profits to others.

"Okay, Mr. Benedict, now it's time for us to talk about production costs."

David is not a good person. The reason why he is willing to give up 10% of the profits is because he thinks Benedict is a talent.

In fact, David did not have such high expectations for moonshining. The reason why he treated Benedict with such high requirements was to put some pressure on him.

As long as he can make moonshine that can taste close to famous wines, David will be satisfied.

Unexpectedly, Benedict gave him a huge surprise. He actually made a private wine that tasted comparable to famous wines and even had its own characteristics.

Talent, no matter what era or where, is extremely scarce and important.

Blind exploitation is killing the goose that lays eggs, while win-win cooperation is the only way to achieve long-term success.

Having tasted the sweetness, Benedict will not only not run away, but will also safeguard the common interests with David.

"Mr. Callander, the cost of our production is not high. The most valuable thing is the complicated process. You can buy a large pack of flavors and pigments for a few dollars, which is enough for us to use for a long time."

"The cost of producing this large barrel of wine, which is more than 100 gallons, is only about 30 US dollars, and filling a bottle should be more than 20 and less than 30 cents."

"Oh, the only thing that is a little more expensive is the glass bottle for wine. It costs 7.5 cents each. If Mr. Callander orders a large enough quantity, he should be able to negotiate the price with the manufacturer."

"Of course, this does not include labor and transportation costs, but Mr. Callander, even if a bottle of moonshine with quality like ours sells for 2.5 US dollars, I believe many people will buy it without having to worry about it. Worried about its sale.”

After David heard this, he already had a plan in mind.

The price of spirits on the market now ranges from US$2 to US$5. Of course, some more special and expensive famous wines may be even more expensive.

The same brand of spirits is also divided into many different grades.

However, in the small town of Valentine, even famous wines are relatively cheap.

Brandy is $3 a bottle, Kentucky bourbon is $3.75, gin is $2.1, and Guama rum is $2.5.

Whiskey is $2.6.

These are some of the best-selling strong spirits on the market.

There are also low-alcohol and medium-alcohol wines, such as beer for $1.5 a bottle.

The price of moonshine varies greatly. Low-quality moonshine can usually be purchased for only US$1. However, most of the moonshine of this quality is blended with industrial alcohol, which can easily kill someone.

High-quality moonshine can be sold for $2.25 on the black market.

"Full production, Mr. Benedict, I need you to make all 500 bottles of private wine as soon as possible."

"You don't have to think too much about sales. I'll let others make arrangements."

David ordered that he didn't have much money now. Without a beautiful knife, many things would become very troublesome.

Now that the moonshining recipe is finalized, it’s time to withdraw funds.

"Okay, I will comply with your wishes, Mr. Callander, but I have a small request."

"Please see if you can find me a reliable helper. Filling is always so troublesome. Maybe I shouldn't waste my time on such boring and monotonous work."

"This really affects my work on making moonshine."

Benedict complained and said that he felt that his value should be better reflected.

David naturally had no reason to refuse: "Of course, Mr. Benedict, I will meet your request as soon as possible, but now I can only trouble you. I need to transport these private goods at this time tomorrow." liquor."

Benedict replied: "Well, I hope you can move a little faster, Mr. Callander."

David took two bottles of moonshine and left the cellar.

Outside was Donal waiting.

"Mr. Callander." Donal greeted David immediately when he saw David coming out.

David handed the two bottles of private wine to Donal: "Have a taste, this is the private wine we brewed ourselves."

After Donal took it, he immediately took a bite. In an instant, he became excited.

"My God, Mr. Callander, is this moonshine? Is this really moonshine? Isn't it some kind of famous wine that was poured into it?"
