Cosma Empire

"How much wine did you make a month before?" Du Lin pointed to the outside of the factory and walked out first. He smelled of wine now, and the air was full of alcohol, and he could already feel his cheeks I have a fever. He's not particularly able to drink, so he's not very interested in drinking, and he doesn't like things where he can't control his behavior.

Rhodes drank the puree in the cup in one gulp, and put the cup on the wooden barrels beside him. These wooden barrels are all made of dragon's blood wood, and the puree will be poured into these wooden barrels after it comes out. According to the required degree, it can be bottled after being taken out in stages. Wooden barrels made of dragon's blood wood can absorb impurities and moisture. Generally, fruit wine will be stored for about three days, and a little higher will take a week. After more than a week, the effect will be extremely limited, so the brewing method of high-quality wine is to make dragon's blood wood into wood residue, put it into a container for fermentation with raw materials, and directly absorb impurities and water in the process.

He followed Du Lin a few steps behind, and said in a low voice: "At that time, we could produce up to 20,000 bottles a month, and we supplied about 70% to 80% of the local demand." .”

In this way, just one place in Illian consumes almost a thousand bottles of wine every day, so what about the entire empire? Of course, it is impossible for other places to have so many tourists like Illian, but one hundred bottles can always be sold every day. There are 16 states and regions in the entire empire, and more than 200 cities. If calculated according to this data, the empire consumes at least 20,000 bottles of wine every day.

But this number is far lower than the real number. In some bustling cities, the daily consumption of alcoholic beverages may be more than that of Irian, and excluding those relatively backward and underdeveloped areas, the market share of four One-third, about 10,000 to 20,000 bottles of wine are needed every day, which is a very low conservative figure. The specific number will not be known until the next batch of orders comes, but Du Lin is very clear that this number is very low.

"Continue to expand the factory, and strive to produce 500,000 bottles of wine every month." Du Lin took out a cigarette and handed it to Rhodes. Rhodes even forgot to pick up the cigarette in Du Lin's hand!

Half a million bottles a month? They used to brew more than 100,000 bottles of wine a year, but now the monthly production is three or four times that of the previous year. Rhodes has a doubt, can they really sell all these wines every month? You must know that brewing is different from other businesses. Once the specific number is determined, it will be purchased at a fixed point in the market, which requires signing a contract.

Once there may be a backlog of wine for a month, it means that there will soon be a backlog of funds. Because there is a contract, those suppliers will continuously deliver the raw materials for the production of 500,000 bottles of wine on time and in quantity. Food is very difficult to preserve, and Illian is still by the sea, and the air is humid, so it cannot be stored for a long time. This means that even if their wine cannot be sold, they will have to continue to produce wine, barring liquidated damages.

When he moved his eyes, he realized that Du Lin had handed him a cigarette. He immediately bent down to say thank you, put the cigarette in his mouth, took out a box of matches to light for Du Lin first, and then lit himself. superior.

After shaking his arm, he extinguished the match, threw it on the ground and stomped on it, before Rhodes asked cautiously, "Mr. Dulin, is this amount...is it too much?"

He went on to say: "And if we want to expand the factory, we need more land, at least four times more than now. We need warehouses to store raw materials and various things. If the space is small, it will not work at all. Besides, to expand production Need to recruit more people..."

Du Lin understood what Rhodes meant. First, he was afraid that the wine would not be sold and would enter a vicious circle. Second, the so-called need for money.

Looking back at the little land around the winery, Du Lin frowned. Whether it is the first district or the fifth district, or the several districts in between, the vacant land is already very tight. With the construction of the 8th District of Irian and more and more people who are optimistic about the city joining here, many vacant lands have been built houses, and it is basically impossible to buy a large piece of connected vacant land. .

If it is possible to separate the factories in several places, it would be a lot of trouble. Dulin thought about it and asked Rhodes to go back and make preparations. He will go to the city hall to see if there is a more suitable one. place.

He didn't say hello when he went to City Hall, Scott wasn't here, the guy was watching the Eighth Ward every day now. One is to supervise the construction progress, and the other is to coordinate some contradictions. With so many projects in District 8 starting at the same time, there will definitely be some conflicts or conflicts. For example, your garbage is dumped at my house, and his project blocks the sewage pipes of that house. In short, there are many things that need to be done by him.

These things seem to be small things, but if they are not handled well, they can easily brew into big troubles. In addition, people from the workers' union are wandering around on the construction site, and there must always be someone who keeps his word and has a certain strength to sit on the construction site to coordinate all this. It is impossible for the mayor to go, so only his confidant Scott will go.

When he arrived at the city hall, Du Lin announced his name, and the mayor immediately received him. Just like what he considered, now Durin has quietly become the biggest benefactor of Illian City Hall, none of them.

Whether it is his jewelry store, a project worth 20 million yuan under construction, or his winery, they can provide a lot of funds for the managers of the Irian region to support their own governance ideas. It can also provide tens of thousands of jobs, and has made outstanding contributions to the security and stability of the Irian region.

Mayors in many places are unknown, not because they are incapable or unwilling to do something, but because they have no money. Take road construction for example. Road construction seems to be very simple. A phrase of more than ten letters can be written on paper, but it needs a lot of money to implement it.

Rich people, such as Irian, the mayor can build roads if he wants to build roads, and build parks if he wants to build parks. So what about those poor, economically underdeveloped cities?

Big eyes and small eyes chant!

So when he heard that Du Lin came in person, the mayor also greeted him in person. Last time, Du Lin was not treated so well. As his industrial layout increased, his status was also rapidly improving.

"I know you're busy, so I'll make a long story short." Without any further greetings, Du Lin directly stated the purpose of his trip, "I want to buy some land to expand the winery."

The mayor asked with some doubts: "Didn't I hear that you bought a large piece of land?" Du Lin shook his head and said that was not enough, the mayor was even more surprised, "How many bottles do you plan to produce every month?" Liquor and cask?"

Du Lin stretched out a hand, he didn't let the mayor guess, that would be an idiot's move, "500,000 bottles of wine, there is no plan for barrel wine yet."

The mayor raised his eyebrows, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face. 500,000 bottles of wine, according to the special tax payment principle currently implemented in the Irian region, he can decide to take a little less tax, and it will be calculated at 50%. If a bottle of wine earns ten yuan, Dulin must pay Five bucks in tax. 500,000 bottles is 2.5 million a month. Du Lin alone has paid more than 50% of the total tax revenue in the Irian region. How could he be unhappy?

He immediately stood up, walked to the sofa set for the reception, and opened a curtain on the wall, revealing the planning map of the entire Irian region. He pointed to the map on the wall to Du Lin, and said with a smile, "Come on, draw the place you want."

Du Lin was not polite either. He stood up and walked over. He looked at the plan carefully. There was no open space in the first district, and there was a little space in the second district, but they were all scattered. The situation in the third district is the same as that in the second district. It seems that there is still a lot of idle land, but there is a piece of land in the east and west, which cannot be effectively connected and utilized at all. There is some land in the fourth district, and there are three open spaces in the fifth district that seem to meet his requirements.

Just when Du Lin was about to point to the fifth district, he suddenly saw an unexpected open space in the lower half of the map, and he asked curiously, "Is this also the jurisdiction of the Irian region?"

The mayor confidently affirmed Du Lin's question, and Du Lin immediately changed his mind, pointing to the space and saying, "I want this!"

The mayor immediately asked people from the land use rights management office to come, signed an agreement with Du Lin, stamped it, and taught the document to Du Lin, "From today, this land is Your private property is gone, to be honest, I never thought you would choose this place, what can I say?" He smiled and asked the people from the land authority management office to leave, and asked this question curiously.

Because Durin didn't choose any piece of land on the land of Illian, but chose a small island about three kilometers away from the coastline of Illian. The area of ​​the island is too small for the development of tourism or other projects, and at the same time it is a little far away from the coastline of Illian, and there is no landscape on the island, it is just an ordinary island full of vegetation, so It has not been included in the agenda of tourism development in Illian.

If Du Lin hadn't discovered this place, the mayor would have almost forgotten that he still has a small island in his hand.

Regarding the mayor's curiosity, Du Lin laughed and said, "Because it's at sea!"

"I have a lot of wine to be shipped out every month. It is not only troublesome to transport it from the city to the port, but also needs to rent a port warehouse. It is better to solve it at one time. The ship can come at any time, and it can be loaded and left at any time. I need to worry about thieves, which solves a lot of troubles for me.”
