American TV series
Chapter 42: Fool me with fake wine!
Paterson City and Elizabeth City are located on the north and south sides of Newark respectively, and are less than 15 kilometers away from Newark. Several cities, including Jersey City, are almost completely connected together, although they are indeed administratively separated.
Yes, but economically speaking, several cities are considered part of the greater New York economic circle.
This provides a lot of convenience for Sean to expand his power.
Paterson has a population of 140,000, and Elizabeth has a population of 120,000. Together with Jersey City and Newark, Sean has controlled the smuggled alcohol market with a population of 800,000, which can currently generate more than 1.2 million US dollars for him every month.
profit!
Of course, in the eyes of outsiders, the profit is not that big, only about 100,000, maybe less.
After all, a large part of the reason why Sean quickly occupied the market was because he sold it cheaper than the Lucchese family. At present, no one outside knows that these drinks were blended by Sean.
Now Stephen Crea of the Lucchese family is focusing on finding Sean's smuggling channel. This is the thinking of a normal person.
Of course, Sean didn't think that the copycat thing could be kept secret forever, but before the secret was exposed, he must try his best to accumulate capital.
First, continue with Newark as the center and expand to the surrounding Clifton, Passaic, and New Brunswick.
Second, open up a new battlefield and expand with Trenton, the capital of New Jersey, as the center.
However, before that, Sean has to turn his attention from 'Sean Security Consulting Company' back to 'Sean Fitness Club'.
The decoration of the small building has been completed, and the "Phase I" of the Sheila team has also come to an end, and is currently preparing for the "opening pre-sale".
The most critical thing to be able to complete cost recovery and profit while opening the business is the ability to "talk with one hand". Currently, Sheila is busy with recruitment and training. Fortunately, she is backed by New York and has no shortage of sales talents.
However, due to industry issues, Sean requires that both men and women must be in good shape. You cannot expect a fat man to persuade customers to exercise in a gym, except for negative examples, of course.
Therefore, the recruitment this time is about handsome men and beautiful women. They are a beautiful scenery. Of course, the requirements are high and the remuneration is good. They only need to work for three days and can get a normal month's salary.
In order to make the opening smooth, Sean specially took people to Chinatown in Brooklyn, not to find dragon and lion dances, but to find a Feng Shui master to count auspicious days.
As soon as he arrived in Chinatown, Sean found that his legs were uncontrollable and he walked into the largest Chinese restaurant.
"Today I want you to see what food culture is." Sean said to Bill and the others after sitting down.
After taking the menu, Sean just glanced at it and put it down. He turned to look at the waiter and said, "Don't tell me these things to fool foreigners. Bring the real menu."
The waiter stared blankly at the white man in front of him, raised his hand in disbelief, picked out his ears and rubbed his eyes, "Are you talking to me about a foreigner?"
Why do you feel that you speak Chinese more fluently than a Chinese like me?
"What are you looking at? Ma Liudi!" Sean suppressed a laugh and urged, "Why, you haven't seen a foreigner who speaks authentic Chinese, have you?"
"Sorry, sorry, what you said...is better than mine." The waiter smiled and shook his head.
"Not only do I speak authentically, but my taste is even more authentic. Is your specialty dish Cantonese or Chaozhou cuisine?"
"Good at everything."
"If you say that, I'll believe it. If so, I won't order any more. You'll just pick out the specialty and serve me eight dishes."
"Excellent, are you sure?" The waiter looked at Bill and the others and confirmed again: "There is a snake."
"As long as you don't give me any trouble with Tom and Jerry, what kind of wine is there? Does Feitian have any?"
"Don't tell me, it's really there!" The waiter really didn't expect Sean to be so good at eating, so he smiled and nodded.
"Okay, two bottles." Sean was very happy. This kind of happiness could be felt even if Bill and the others couldn't understand what he just said.
It has been more than four months since I came to the United States. Although Sean will not treat himself badly when it comes to food, American food is really just the same thing, even if it is served at Hilton every day.
When I arrived in Chinatown, my stomach rebelled on the spot, and Sean couldn't control it!
A portion of tea was served, and not long after, dishes were served, braised pigeon, sweet and sour sweet and sour pork, roasted suckling pig, lion head duck, oyster braised, pomegranate chicken, mandarin duck paste crab, and finally added
Classic Lao Huo soup, eight dishes are all included.
The main dishes were casserole porridge and beef kueh teow soup.
Looking at a table full of dishes, Sean didn't have time to care about Bill and the others. He rubbed his hands and couldn't wait to pick up the chopsticks and start eating. He squinted and shook his head every time he took a bite. What the hell is enjoyment!
After eating for a while, Sean finally relieved the glutton in his stomach. He reached out to open a bottle of Maotai and poured himself a small cup. Then he handed the wine to Bill and the others, "Here, Duuchang, the best liquor in China."
One, it is also distilled wine, but it is brewed from grain and does not need to be stored in wooden barrels. It has another unique aroma."
Since they started making money from wine, Bill and others have also begun to focus on wine in their spare time. Now their understanding and taste of various wines have risen to a big level, and they are no longer the same as before.
Seeing everyone filling their glasses, Sean raised his glass and said, "Cheers!"
"cheers!"
After drinking it all, Bill and the others suddenly had distorted expressions. Compared with brandy, vodka and other spirits are mostly drunk with ice or soda water, and white wine is too spicy in the mouth.
Sean put down the wine glass but frowned, picked up the wine bottle again and filled himself up. This time he didn't drink directly, but put it under his nose and smelled it.
Upon hearing this, Sean's brows furrowed even more tightly, and the expression on his face turned completely cold.
He reached out and dipped a little bit of wine into the wine cup and rubbed it on the back of his hand. After blowing on it, he lowered his head and smelled it carefully. Only then did Sean's brows relax slightly.
It is not directly blended with alcohol.
"Boss, come here!" He picked up the white porcelain wine bottle and stamped it on the table. Bill and others were startled. Some diners nearby also looked over. They were already surprised by Sean's fluent Chinese just now.
Now, when I saw the excitement, my eyes immediately showed excitement.
The waiter ran over immediately, frowned and asked in a low voice: "Sir, what's wrong?"
"You're fooling me with fake wine, right?" Sean pointed at the white porcelain bottle of Moutai with a cold face, his face full of displeasure.
(PS: Popularize a tip for verifying alcohol blending with liquor. I will state in advance that my personal skills may not be accurate.)
(Dip a little bit of wine with your hand and rub it on the back of your hand. When it is almost dry, lower your head and smell it. If alcohol is used as the raw material to blend, there will be a more obvious alcohol smell. The main raw materials for edible alcohol are cassava, potatoes, etc., which are cheap and starch.
The content is high, and due to its high purity, its smell is the purest, while grain-made wine has a more obvious grain flavor, which is most obvious when it is about to dry.)
