A Mercenary’s War

A steaming round ball was served on the table, accompanied by the steaming heat, and a strong smell of sheep fat.

The hostess, Jensen's mother, cut through the black stuff, and then exposed a bunch of dark things inside, which looked like dumplings, but the color and shape were completely unmanageable. appetite.

The side dishes were mashed potatoes and fries, and the carrots were chopped and minced. Jensen ’s mother took the Scottish national dish Haggis on a plate in turn, and then delivered it to everyone in turn.

For this aspect, the Russians have no say, so Yelena ’s look is okay, there is not much change, but Raphael is different, he also comes from a country that produces food, so see After Haggis in front of him, although he still had a smile on his face, Gao Yang saw that he was swallowing hard with a few saliva.

After waiting for a black object on the plate in front of everyone, Jensen said happily: "Everyone tastes our famous dish, Haggis. It's very time-consuming, but it's also worth the wait. "

Janson ’s father Will raised his glass and shouted, "Cheers!"

If you eat Haggis, you can't drink red wine, you have to match the whiskey, and the Jensen family now has a winery, so whiskey is the most important thing.

Whiskey is good, really good.

As for the Scottish national dish Haggis, Yang Yang took a bite, but it is actually okay, at least it is much better than selling it. The heavy pepper taste masks the smell of sheep fat, and the taste is quite delicate, although I think that the sheep is broken up. It's a waste to make this kind of ghost thing, but in Britain, Gao Yang did not expect to enjoy food.

Gao Yang spent three years on the Sudanese grassland. He had n’t eaten anything strange, not to mention the finely cooked shredded sheep. It ’s the strange thing that he burned with fire and half drowned and dripping with blood. He could not change his face. It ’s one thing to eat it, it ’s good to eat it, and it ’s another thing to eat it.

Gao Yang is very tolerant. He can eat everything on the plate without changing his face, but others ca n’t.

After Raphael took a bite. It just didn't work. His face was indifferent. He stirred the contents of the plate with a fork, but refused to put it in his mouth.

Eileen's face was firm, keeping the etiquette on the dining table, eating the things on the plate a little bit without changing the color, after all, he had been a special soldier. Eighty eBooks / trained is different from others.

Jason smiled: "I'll tell you how Haggis is made, mince the sheep's heart, liver, lung, and goat oil, and add ingredients such as pepper and onion. And then put it in the lamb ’s stomach, tie the lamb ’s stomach tightly with a rope and cook in the pot, and it will be out of the pot in about three hours. ”

Jason is definitely intentional. Yelena could have eaten a few bites, but after hearing Jensen's words, she refused to take another bite.

Fortunately, Will understands things. He waved his hand and smiled, "This dish is a pleasure for us. But many people may not be used to it. If you are not used to it, please leave it. It doesn't matter. You are not Scottish after all. I am very Understandable. "

Raphael and Yelena are amnesty, but Gao Yang smiled: "It seems that I am the kind of person I can enjoy because I think it is delicious."

People have been busy for a long time, and they can't eat no one, for Gao Yang. Although the food eaten here is not delicious, there is no problem in eating it. Then let him be the diner who gives the owner a face.

In fact, after all, Haggis is not really a dark dish. It is better to be able to eat Haggis than to be forced to know the famous dark dishes of the British.

Compared with the dishes, the wine of the Jensen family is much better. Jensen ’s father runs a small winery and brews whiskey in a very traditional way. Gao Yang does not like foreign wine very much, but it can be divided into good and bad.

After picking up a small glass of whiskey and drinking it, Raphael exhaled and shouted, "This wine is great! Mr. Jones, your wine must be in short supply now."

Will smiled: "The sales are really good now, thanks to Jensen who found his two friends to advertise for us. Now our order has come next year and we have passed the most difficult period. "

Jason pointed his finger up and smiled, "You have to thank him. Adele and Catherine are his friends, but not my friends."

Will raised his goblet to Gao Yang and smiled: "Then I must thank you. In order to express my gratitude, I decided to offer you free drinking for life, unlimited, haha, cheers."

Gao Yang dried the whiskey in the glass, looked at the bottle on the table, and said strangely: "It doesn't seem to taste the same as what we originally drank."

Jason laughed: "My wine is divided into four grades, the cheapest one is ten pounds a bottle, then 30 pounds, one hundred pounds, the most expensive one is 150 pounds a bottle, I originally sent you all It ’s one hundred and fifty pounds, and we drink 30 pounds a bottle now. "

After talking, Jensen pointed to his father and smiled: "My father still likes this one, the price is different, because the process is different, the smaller the output, the more expensive, but the taste, can only say Which one do you like? "

The most important thing for Europeans to drink is less than ten euros. The wine of 150 pounds must be a high-end spirit. As for the kind of tens of thousands of bottles of red wine, it is a luxury, and there are few in Europe. Personally affordable, few people have even seen it.

Will shrugged and said, "Our wine is too expensive. The original sales have been very poor. The brewery is on the verge of collapse. But then Jensen made money. We passed the most difficult period and made the two beautiful. After the advertisement, the young lady sold well, and the £ 30 is the best selling, followed by the £ 10. As for the two wines of £ 100 and £ 150, only a part of the symbolic production . "

Jensen laughed: "The most expensive wine is for you to drink, haha!"

Will dropped his knife and fork and said: "No way, we are a new brand. I am very confident in the taste of my own wine, but obviously it will take time to squeeze into the ranks of high-end wine. The British alcohol market is very competitive. Fiercely, to be honest, our winery can maintain this situation, and I am very satisfied. "

Gao Yang smiled and shouted: "Don't sell the most expensive one for 150 pounds, change the brand, change the packaging, and then sell for 1,500 pounds. You can find the gimmick. I will help you open the market and export to the United States. go with."

Will stunned: "Mr. Gao, are you kidding me?"

Gao Yang shook his head and said, "I'm not kidding. In fact, your whiskey is really good. I know a few people. They all rave about your wine. They just have no place to buy it. Now the problem is coming. If you guys Exporting wine to the U.S. means selling up to two hundred to three hundred pounds. Frankly speaking, this price is too low. "

Will foolishly said: "Three hundred pounds, too low?"

Gao Yang nodded and said: "Yes, it's too low. Those rich people, uh, you sell 300 pounds a bottle, they will think that your wine can't be used to entertain friends, have a share, bluntly, that is, they can't show off, you understand?"

Will shook his head: "I don't understand, a bottle of three hundred pounds of wine, the grade is too low? Can't show off? Sorry I can't understand, because I am originally a high-end liquor for my product, because the brewing process is very complicated, and needs It has been aging in special oak barrels for a long time, so there is actually no profit in selling 150 pounds. "

Gao Yang laughed: "How many of the most expensive ones can you sell a year now?"

Will smiled bitterly: "The dealer will buy a few bottles in a very small amount. In addition to his usual, it is for display, but unfortunately, it has not been sold so far."

Gao Yang waved his hand and curiously said, "What is the annual output?"

Will frowned: "You can make up to 500 bottles this year, the most."

Gao Yang was very surprised and shouted: "Only five hundred bottles? So few? What about the one hundred pounds?"

"One hundred and fifty to two thousand bottles, the most, this is already the limit."

Gao Yang let out a breath and said, "There is only a little bit! Limited edition, limited edition, each bottle is numbered, from one to ninety-nine, there is no more to buy, this is the best, how much does one bottle sell? Well, it ’s good to sell 5,999 bottles, sterling! The second level is limited to a thousand bottles, priced at 999 pounds. The price is tentatively set. If the supply exceeds demand, the price will be raised. "

Will smiled bitterly: "This kind of wine can't be bought by anyone. Mr. Gao, we are not a famous winery or a historic winery. I understand the meaning of high-end luxury, but we can't do it. Not for sale. "

Just then ~ www.novelmtl.com ~ Irene's phone rang, she took out the phone and glanced at it, then gestured to Gao Yang.

After Gao Yang nodded, he continued to smile at Will: "You can't sell a bottle of high-end wine now. Even if you sell 10,000 bottles, you can still sell at most one bottle. What are you afraid of? By the way, even if you sell all the most expensive wine, it is only 500 bottles. How much money can you make? You just said that the profit is very meager, then I will make a profit of ten pounds. Five hundred bottles are only 5,000 yuan. The profits are not so famous. "

He picked up the glass and gestured to Will, Gao Yang drank the wine, then he smiled and said: "You listen to me, just do what I say, you find a gimmick yourself and make up a better story, Then I leave the rest to me. I will help you open the American market first. All I can do is make your wine popular in the upper American society and let them compete to buy your wine. "

Will also swallowed up and then smiled bitterly: "Unless they are all crazy."

Put down the wine glass and exalt a serious statement: "Mr. Jones, you have to understand one thing. For the rich, they are not stupid or crazy. They just have money and no place to spend. Do what I said. Number, and then just give me the rest. "(To be continued.)
