The dinner was not grand, but the earl called the officials from Coral Island, and Levi's called some of his subordinates to chat.
After the dinner, Liszt found an opportunity and entered his study with Levi's.
"Brother, how is your ability to taste liquor?" Liszt took the bottle containing original fresh flowers from the servant, unscrewed the bottle cap, poured a glass, and pushed it in front of Levi's, "Taste this liquor , give me a review."
"I'm very good at judging wine. Well, what kind of baijiu is this, and where did you get it?" He raised the glass and asked, "It tastes bad, it smells bad, and it looks like low-quality baijiu. The baijiu mixed with water that the Eagle Kingdom drank during the war tastes better than this baijiu!"
After finishing speaking, he put the wine glass to his lips and dipped a little: "It has a sour taste and no alcoholic strength. This wine is really inferior."
Putting down the glass, he didn't say anything, the meaning was self-evident.
Liszt's face remained unchanged, and he continued to ask: "Brother, how much do you think a bottle of this liquor can sell for?"
"How much is a bottle?" Levi's eyes narrowed, "Liszt, don't tell me that this liquor is brewed in Huahua Town?"
"As you said, this is exactly the self-brewed liquor I'm researching, brewed with fresh flowers. It's just that the brewing has not been successful, and the quality of the liquor obtained is very low, but anyway, I have already researched the brewing technology of liquor, Isn't it?"
Hear here.
Levi's eyes were already bright, and he couldn't wait to say: "What? You have already researched the brewing technology of liquor? Oh my god, Liszt, don't lie to me, do you know the value of brewing technology of liquor, how valuable is it? There are only five kinds in the Grand Duchy There are three types of liquor in the hands of the Marquis, and two types in the hands of the Grand Duke."
The earl commented that Levi, who had been on the battlefield, had matured.
But at this moment, Levi's is still the same Levi's, his frizzy eyes are red: "Grandpa doesn't even master the technology of liquor brewing!"
"Don't be too surprised, brother, it's just a liquor business. Compared with potions, the liquor business is nothing."
"It's nothing!" Levi's breath was heavy, "Of course the potion is expensive, but it's barely enough for my own use. The potion in Tulip Fort, my father needs it, I need it, maybe Litton will take part of it in the future, and Li Weila , she will definitely snatch some with shamelessness!"
With the help of the magical power of the Tulip Elf, Black Tulip can produce a large amount of potion, but there are many people who count on this batch of potion.
Of course, the black tulip business was signed by three brothers and sisters.
But once the power of the great elf is used, the share that should be handed over to the earl is indispensable. At most, Levi will eat all the increased income.
He said, not without jealousy: "I am not as lucky as you. I am an intermediate monster, black tulips, flame mushrooms, and potion thorns, all of which are exclusive to you!"
"It seems that you can't make much money from potions."
"Of course I can't make any money, I can't make any money. My other business money is spent on potions. Do you know that every time I take a bottle of potions, I will feel heartache for a long time... You are not an elite earth knight , unable to understand the pain and joy of the elite land knights." His expression was almost distorted.
"So, my brother is very short of money."
"Ask knowingly."
"If I'm willing to share the liquor business with my brother." Liszt threw out the bait he had prepared—he really didn't want to continue acting.
Levi's exaggerated expression and tone are simply exaggerated performances, and he doesn't care about it at all. He probably already guessed something from when Liszt asked him to taste liquor - Levi's was never a fool, he had already been promoted to the Knight of the Earth when he was a teenager, and he was known as a genius.
If it was an outsider, Liszt might have made a fool of himself.
Since he is a real brother, he might as well point it out directly.
Sure enough, upon hearing Liszt's words, Levi's immediately put away his flamboyant acting skills and put on an urgent enthusiasm: "What, Liszt, you mean to share the liquor brewing technology with your brother?"
"Baijiu brewing technology is precious, my brother has told me. Before I split up, it doesn't matter who owns it. If one day I want to split up, I will give you the baijiu brewing technology as soon as possible. My thoughts Yes, I will make wine, you will be in charge of sales, and we will split the profit in half... "
Do some bargaining.
The two brothers have basically determined the way of cooperation.
Levi's provides protection for the liquor business, provides the raw materials needed for brewing, and is responsible for external sales, accounting for 60% of the profit; Liszt is responsible for brewing liquor, accounting for 40% of the profit - 40% to 60%. It's normal, not to mention providing protection.
If one day, the two brothers really separated.
The cooperation is suspended and the technology is shared.
"Currently, the liquor brewing technology is still being improved. It will take some time to produce qualified liquor. The most important thing is that the brewing equipment urgently needs a batch of iron, but Huahua Town is extremely short of iron. I hope you can help me solve it."
"Did you take a fancy to the spoils this time?" Levi touched his chin, knowing that if he wanted to get the liquor business, the benefit fee was essential, "Ironware has always been the most scrambled spoils, this time did not bring back too much iron ore Shi, I don't have much at my disposal... three thousand catties of iron ingots, I can't take out any more."
"Three thousand catties, almost."
"Don't think it's too little, these three thousand catties are enough to make Viscount Triker and Viscount Yunus jealous. By the way, I forgot to ask you, why did the potion flame mushroom in Huahua Town stop?"
Liszt pondered for a moment, then replied: "I want to stock up on potions."
"ah?"
"Don't be surprised, brother, although my talent is not as good as yours, but with Zyra, why don't I want to go further. Even if I fail, I still have to try before I am willing." Liszt said half-truthfully, no As is known, he was already an elite Earth Knight.
"What about black tulips and potion thorns?"
"The black tulips are still available to you, and I plan to stock up the potion thorns."
"It's a pity... It's hard for me to persuade you not to try, just like Li Weila, I can't stop her waywardness. But I still hope you can think about it more, if you change your mind, come to me to cooperate. As a brother , you have to believe that I can take advantage of anyone, but I won't take advantage of you."
"Of course, I am absolutely convinced of that."
Then, the two talked about the serf trade. With the foundation of the baijiu business, no one was too fussy. They quickly reached a deal to buy 2,500 serfs at the price of 500 gold coins.
"I'll give you the gold coins later."
"Just send it over before the fleet leaves." Levi's didn't ask Liszt where he got so many gold coins, and he couldn't understand his younger brother more and more.
Ignorance and cowardice no longer appear, replaced by shrewdness and generosity.
When Liszt said goodbye and left, he couldn't help but think: "Liszt has grown up, Huahua Town is gradually unable to restrain his ambitions, listening to his tone, he even had the idea of separating the family... Can he be as confident as his father?"
