The Great Era of Rebirth: 1993

   Chapter 145, 28800 bottles of XO (please subscribe!)

   Niang Xipi's! How much wealth is this?

How much?

  It is no wonder that being a customs officer is a sweet treat.

   took a look, then sighed.

   It's a pity that these things are not my own.

   Good **** distress!

  Although his eyes were squinting, Zhang Xuan did not ask more questions, but followed Comrade Ruan Dezhi all the way.

   silently followed to the northeast corner of the warehouse.

"arrive."

   After walking for a while, Ruan Dezhi suddenly stopped and pointed to the oak barrels stacked in front of him.

   Looking at the oak barrels piled up like hills, the heart that was sighing just now suddenly became excited again.

   couldn't help but walk around in circles, Zhang Xuan counted it carefully, a total of 72 barrels.

  Each oak barrel has a mark, showing that this batch of brandy stock solution was originally re-exported from England to Xiangjiang, and then confiscated at sea when it was smuggled in from Xiangjiang.

   It was confiscated in 1986, and it has been 7 years since then. This thing has already passed the claim period of the related households. After the cooling period, it is inevitable that it will be cleared by the customs.

   Zhang Xuan excitedly patted the oak barrel, raised his head and asked Ruan Dezhi, "Uncle, what is the volume of this barrel?"

  I don't know why, but every time I see this nephew looking happy, Ruan Dezhi's mood is unreasonably good, he straightened his glasses and said:

   "The size of this oak barrel is 50 gallons."

   Zhang Xuan asked again, "How many degrees is the stock solution of this batch of brandy?"

   Ruan Dezhi said and told him: "75 degrees."

  75 degrees, which is the height of the burning mouth on the top of the spirits, stronger than Russian vodka. It cannot be directly imported, it must be blended before it can be sold.

   50 gallons per barrel…

  The stock solution is 75 degrees…

  The thoughts came to this, Zhang Xuan's mind immediately became alive, and he began to calculate an account.

  In the market, there are two types of gallons: British gallons and American gallons.

   And this batch of brandy stock solution is from the UK, of course, it is calculated in British gallons.

   One gallon of British brandy stock solution is equal to 4546 ml, which is equivalent to 7.2 catties.

  Zhang Xuan According to memory, a bottle of Martell XO on the market is about 750ml, and the degree is 40.

   A barrel is 50 gallons, and the original solution is 75 degrees. Zhang Xuan quickly calculated according to his own reserve knowledge, and blended it into a finished product with 40% alcohol content. A bottle of 750 ml can be blended into about 400 bottles of Martell XO.

  72 barrels, that is, 12 tons of brandy stock solution, can blend a total of 28,800 bottles of Martell XO wine.

  !

  28800 bottles of big brand Martell wine!

   Zhang Xuan was stunned by the numbers he calculated.

   Hold on! Hold on!

  The old man patiently said to Ruan Dezhi with excitement, "Uncle, please bring me a calculator."

   Ruan Dezhi seemed to have guessed what he was doing, nodded with a smile, turned around and beckoned to a clerk outside, "Bring me a calculator."

"it is good."

  Calculator was originally one of the core essential tools in the warehouse, and it soon arrived in Zhang Xuan's hands.

   50 gallons per barrel…

   The stock solution is 75 degrees…

   Proportional exchange…

   Zhang Xuan pressed his right index finger on the calculator.

   The result is still the same: 28,800 bottles!

  Hoo!

   Zhang Xuan was excited and climaxed, but he still suppressed his surging mood and tried again.

   The end result is still the same: 28,800 bottles!

  Grandma a bear!

   Posted!

   This time, the old man made it properly!

  I feel so good! If it weren't for face, I couldn't lose face in front of outsiders, I couldn't lose my composure! He really wanted to jump in place now.

   Every jump is money!

  hoo~

   took another deep breath, Zhang Xuan circled around the oak barrel, and asked Ruan Dezhi when he tried it out:

   "Uncle, you are often sent to us. Do you know how much a bottle of Martell XO sells for?"

   Ruan Dezhi thought about it and said, "I drank this foreign wine at Su Jin's house. It is said that a bottle is 800 yuan."

   A bottle of 800 can be exchanged for 28,800 bottles here. How much is the market value worth?

   One click of the calculator, and the answer is quickly found: 23.04 million.

   Of course, Zhang Xuan knew that the account was not calculated like this.

  After all, a bottle of mature Martell wine has three most valuable qualities:

  One is a high-quality brandy stock solution.

  One is the blending and packaging technology.

  The last one is a foreign wine brand.

  Zhang Xuan knows that he has no brandy stock solution, but he has no blending and packaging technology, let alone a resounding brand and terminal sales channel.

   So this 23.04 million is just a castle in the air at present, how much money you can have in your own hands is really uncertain.

  After all, the fragrance of wine is afraid of deep alleys.

  No matter how good things are, they will not be recognized by high-end consumers without brand packaging. If it is not recognized, it will not change.

   What's more, selling tobacco and alcohol in China requires a license for tobacco and alcohol business to sell at the terminal, otherwise it is illegal.

   All these reasons put together, Zhang Xuan already has a clear context in his heart.

   You can't mix and sell, you have no technology, no brand, no business license, and no sales channels.

  There are so many raw liquids, scattered and sold one by one, when will they be sold?

  This method is not advisable!

  In this case, there are only two ways.

  The first method: It is not a problem to make a tenfold profit by directly transferring the original liquid.

  The second method: find a foreign wine agent with a business license to cooperate, and the income is divided according to the proportion of sales.

   Make the stock solution yourself. The partners provide manpower, crystal bottles, brands, packaging and blending, and are responsible for the final sales.

   It’s just that the second method is more troublesome. If nothing else, you must register a company to sign an agreement. You can’t do this in your own name.

   But no matter how you say it, the first method or the second method is worth it, this batch of stock solution is to make money.

   It is not difficult to earn 2 million casually.

   After all, it is only 1993. In China, foreign wine is still a very rare thing, and it is a very face-saving thing.

   is a rare high-end product!

   And Martell XO is very well-known in Yangcheng, and its advertisements can often be seen in TV newspapers.

   Logically, there is no need to worry about selling it at all.

   Again, there is no Martell XO. The brandy stock solution can also be blended into Chivas, Hennessy, Black Square, Red Square, Remy Martin, Louis XIII…

  Which brand here is not a well-known international brand?

Will    worry about sales?

   As long as you find a place, it must be sold!

   As for whether to keep it all for yourself and not sell it?

   On current own conditions.

   That is so untrue.

  Because the cellaring brandy stock must be kept at a constant temperature. The specific temperature, Zhang Xuan is also confused now, can't remember too specific.

   But the temperature should be below 25 degrees for sure. Probably between 15 degrees and 20 degrees is the best storage temperature.

   And the location of the cellar is also very particular. Either in the basement or in a cool enough place.

   So if you keep 72 barrels of stock solution and don’t sell it, how much money and energy will you have to spend to get this done?

   It's not worth the loss if you think about it!

   But if you keep one or two tons, that is, 12 barrels of raw liquid for storage, you can still give it a try.

   Must try too!
