Cosma Empire

When he left Heidler's manor, Du Lin had 300 yuan in cash in his pocket, and 700 yuan would be given to him in three installments in the next two months.

Of course, there will be a prerequisite for all of this, that is, after the three hundred yuan is taken away, you can see the rapid development of the fellow countrymen's association. . As long as this is done, Du Lin can get the first batch of two hundred yuan for the development of the fellow countrymen's association.

During this negotiation process, Du Lin took the initiative to propose the accounting for the fellow countrymen association, when each money was used, where it was used, whether it had the desired effect when making the budget, and how to deepen the budget. Some of the problems will be recorded in a book. Heidler agreed with almost no consideration. Heidler knew very well that as the initiator of the hometown association, no matter how hard he tried now, it was impossible for Dulin to gain greater authority than Dulin.

So instead of sending people to compete with Du Lin for the position of chairman, it is better to use money to capture the fellow countrymen, and gradually turn Du Lin into a puppet and a knife in his hands. It is precisely because he understands the power of money and capital that he agreed when Du Lin offered to establish an account book.

But he didn't know that the original purpose of Du Lin's establishment of the fellowship association was to recruit people for his trading company, and he didn't want to be the leader of some gang organization!

But no matter what, with the windfall of 300 yuan, Du Lin's plan can be implemented more quickly, and there is no need to continue raising funds.

From the very beginning, he planned to use the name of the trading company he established to purchase a batch of low-alcohol wine from wineries at home and abroad. These low-alcohol wines will be used as a cover for distillation and purification. At the same time, Dulin will not give up the profits of low-alcohol wine. Even if it's not high.

Graff has already contacted several suppliers, and Durin plans to wait until he can collect at least one hundred yuan before talking with them. Unexpectedly, the appearance of Heidler made up for the lack of time and completely solved the problem of Durin's activation. The question of funding.

At noon, Du Lin asked Graf to meet with a businessman from the Free Federation. The price of the moon low-alcohol almond wine they produced was considered low in the entire low-alcohol wine market, but the degree was eight degrees, which was very high. Suitable for purification.

The Freedom Federation is a country composed of twenty-two provinces in the southeast of the Yaoxing Empire. A republic has been adopted in this country, and the entire country is managed by fifty members of the Federal House of Lords and five Speakers of the House of Lords. It is elected every four years and can be re-elected for up to two terms. However, if the international situation is tense during the general election, it has been determined that war will break out.

Or if the general election happens to be in a state of war, then even if the members and the speaker have been re-elected for two terms, the House of Commons can propose the "Special State Re-election Voting Act" to decide whether each member of the House of Lords and the speaker can be re-elected. Third term. If more than half of the members of the House of Lords or three speakers are determined to be re-elected, then the House of Commons will form a "Special Powers Supervision Department" to monitor corruption and abuse that may occur in the third re-election due to excessive power. Occupational crimes such as authority.

The Freedom Federation is a country that is different from the Yaoxing Empire, which is undergoing a period of change. In the war that just ended, the Yaoxing Empire won a disastrous victory, but the Freedom Federation won a big victory.

Saying this may make many people feel inexplicable. How can a war between two countries be the winner? In fact, this issue is not complicated. For the Yaoxing Empire, the empire firmly defended its territory and did not allow the invaders to dominate their land and enslave their people. Then they won the Great Patriotic War. But for the Free Federation, although they did not obtain land and cheap labor, they have achieved unprecedented economic breakthroughs, especially in terms of tariffs and the memorandum of understanding on war that has not been made public by the Yaoxing Empire until now. some things recorded.

It was precisely because of such a disastrous victory in the war that the entire empire began to reflect from top to bottom. It was obviously an extremely powerful empire, but now it has been reduced to being bullied by a federation that does not even have an emperor or a pope. In the midst of many turmoil and political struggles without fireworks, all voices gradually united.

That is His Majesty the Emperor's finger-pointing in the war, and the flood of class struggles seriously damaged the originally good situation. Soon after the war, there was an argument that the imperial system could no longer keep up with the progress of the times, and only a constitutional monarchy could save the Yaoxing Empire, which was already on the edge of a cliff.

The aristocratic class that has lost the protection of the imperial system, the new reformers who want to become the leading class of the country, the big capitalists who hope to interfere in politics through capital, and the rebels who are full of ideals and anger and try to change the world...

On the highest and most shining stage of the Yaoxing Empire, a group of prominent characters staged shocking political dramas.

Under such circumstances, social issues will naturally be thrown aside by the bigwigs.

The empire that has lost part of its tariff power has become a huge piece of fat in the eyes of the capitalists of the Free Federation. All kinds of things are pouring into the empire through the border. In the case of tariff exemption or even tax rebates and subsidies Now, the light industry and handicraft industry of the Yaoxing Empire are facing a huge impact, and have become a paradise for Federation merchants.

And what Du Lin wanted to meet this time was a wine merchant from the Federation.

"You look very young. I would like to ask, are you an adult?" The agent in his forties with blond hair and brown beard almost stared out. Du Lin really didn't look old. ,too young. He didn't mind doing business with people of any race or age, but he was still intimidated.

Du Lin shrugged his shoulders and lit a cigarette for himself casually. This would make him look a little more mature, but it might also have the opposite effect. He flicked the cigarette ash skillfully, and said casually, "I'm already seventeen, Mr. Richard."

Richard nodded noncommittally, and said with a trace of emotion: "When I was seventeen, I was still working for the boss in a factory, but you, at the age of seventeen, already had your own trading company..." , he was about to shake his head and smile, "Okay, let's talk about the business. I heard that you want to buy a batch of low-alcohol wine from me for sale, right?"

Without waiting for Du Lin to answer, he continued: "The fruit wine of the Moon brand has completely different characteristics from the low-alcohol wines commonly seen on the market. Our wine has a slightly bitter taste of almonds, unlike those wines that are like fruit juice. , sweet and greasy. Even if one person drinks three or five bottles in one go, it will not spoil the taste because it is too sweet. When I first contacted many partners, I would tell them that they can only drink two or three bottles of fruit wine , but you can drink five or six bottles of our Moon brand almond wine."

"More importantly, our price positioning is very accurate. From the very beginning, we have focused on the mid-end market, so everyone can afford it, and it will also allow you to have enough profit margins."

Du Lin nodded. He already knew all these things, and what he cared about was the price. "Can you tell me the specific price? Mr. Richard, our goal is not just one city of Tenell, but the whole province. , or even the entire empire. Once we confirm that the products of you and the Moon Trading Company can be as good as you said, the prospects for our cooperation will be infinite!"

Richard thought about it for a while, and offered a price of eighty-five cents a bottle. The price, as he puts it, stands in the middle of the low-alcohol price market. Further down, there are fifty-five cents and sixty cents a bottle of wine, and there are more than one dollar of low-alcohol wine. The price of eighty-five cents is indeed accurate, but it is not a price that Du Lin can accept.

Whether it is simply selling this brand of wine, or using this low-alcohol wine as a material for purification, the price is obviously too high and too embarrassing. If you want to guarantee your profits, if you simply sell it, you will need one yuan per bottle to guarantee your own profits. When the bar puts these wines on the counter, it must at least ensure that a bottle of wine has a profit of 30% before it can be sold.

When it's in the cups of the guests, the price of a cup is about 30 cents.

In fact, a mid-level price positioning only resulted in an embarrassing situation. Perhaps this is also the reason why the moon brand has not been sold in the empire until now. If you choose a poor wine, you can drink two glasses. For alcoholics, they don't care about the quality of the wine, they only care about how to buy the most wine with the least money. And for those guests who are originally middle class? They would rather add 10 and 20 points, but also drink a little better wine.

They can afford to drink a glass of wine for thirty cents, and they don't care about spending an extra ten cents when paying the bill. What they want is face.

The constant price made Moon Brand an unpopular bar in bars, making it difficult to increase sales.

If it is purified, it will be even more uneconomical. Eighty-five points of the moon brand almond wine needs three bottles to purify a bottle of high-grade wine, which is about the cost price of two yuan and five. Adding in the juice blended, labor costs, various loss costs and a small amount of additional costs that have to be borne due to damaged transport bottles, the cost will be as high as five or six yuan. Selling to the bar, the profit is only more than four yuan, one of which is probably Graff, and Dulin can only get more than two yuan!

Going into a business with a profit of only 40% at the risk of breaking the law and going to jail, is it crazy?
