Cosma Empire

v1 Chapter 289: Out of wine [1]

A member of the Imperial Bank of China put the originals returned by Anpu back into the filing cabinet. He returned to his desk and started working on some backlogs. He also chatted and laughed with several colleagues during the period. The bell rang after work, he packed all his personal stuffs into a briefcase, and queued to leave the bank through the staff passage. He did not go home directly, drank a bit of wine with his colleagues, ate something, then got on the bus opposite to his home and got off at the bottom stop.

He walked for two kilometers, and it was almost eight o'clock. He took two ten cent coins from his pocket and entered a closed public telephone booth. As the core of the empire, all advanced technology will always be the first to spread here. In some remote places, such things as telephones may only exist in city halls or important institutions, but the public telephone booths in the Imperial City have appeared on the streets.

Of course, although there are public telephone booths, the utilization rate is not high. Twenty cents of coins are needed every three minutes. Most people can't afford such a price. They would rather write a letter than call. For those at the bottom of society, time is less valuable than money.

He dialed a number, and both sides were silent for a while before he said a word quickly, then hung the phone booth and put on his hat, lowered the brim, and left the phone booth.

At the other end of the phone line, a white-collar male in a formal suit sitting in a bright office put down the phone. He stepped out of the office door, walked to the end of the corridor, picked up the phone and dialed the administrator on the upper floor. He reported his name, work number, and application code. Two minutes later, the elevator door opened. He sorted out his dress and walked out of the elevator ten seconds later.

There are only six offices on the entire 19th floor. The partners here are all company partners. It is very difficult to meet them. If it hadn't been for a one-time application code, he wouldn't have come at all.

He knocked on the door of the innermost office. The dull voice made his heart beat a little faster, and after he heard a word "come in," he pushed in.

A young man sat behind his desk with his back to him and could only see the man's shiny hair. The man was facing the night scene outside the floor-to-ceiling glass wall and seemed to be enjoying something mysterious.

"Sir, an informer just noticed a small incident ..."

After he repeated this sentence, he left. He knew his purpose was achieved, and staying there would only be counterproductive.

After he left, the luxurious chair turned back with a cynical grin on his young face. He nodded, raised the phone and dialed a number, and a busy tone soon appeared on the phone ...

"I'm here to answer!" Du Lin shook his hand and stopped Dove, who was about to answer the phone. It was nine in the evening. At this time, ordinary people would not bother him. Those who can call him at this time either have urgent matters or are their very important partners.

"Here is Doolin." Doolin dragged the long telephone line to the outside of the room with a telephone, and the wind could block his voice.

On the other end of the phone came a voice that made him laugh a little. It was Kevin, "I'll sell you a message, ten thousand yuan, you think about it."

Dulin Haha laughed, and he couldn't help but tease: "You have recently increased your price? Now it costs 10,000 yuan an hour? Or do you want to say 10,000 yuan?"

Kevin didn't care about Du Lin's teasing, just like An Pu's understanding of Kevin, he was shameless for money, and he clearly distinguished between business and private affairs. Even when things are considered private by others, Kevin is often included in business. Money is required for official business, but it is definitely worth it. Private money is not required, and he sometimes does not want to say it.

"It doesn't matter. I think the news is worth 10,000 yuan. Of course, you can also choose to decline. Let's talk about other things, such as the recent economic situation?"

Du Lin considered it and decided to spend 10,000 yuan to hear what Kevin wanted to say, but he had a request, "If your news is not worth 10,000 yuan ..."

"Asshole, do you want to send me a bullet?" The laughter over the receiver also laughed, and the laughter quickly converged, and Kevin's voice became serious, "Someone is investigating your fund account , Including the flow of a jewellery company and more accounts with which this jewellery company has funds. If you think this news is worth 10,000 yuan, my account you know. If you think it is not worth it, then give me 1,500 . "

"You're right, I'm raising prices now, an hour and a thousand!"

Du Lin pursed his lips. "I see, is there anything else?" He didn't wait for Kevin to reply, and there was a busy tone in the receiver. He shook his head and put the handset back on the phone, placed the phone on the grass, and walked to the cliff alone.

In fact, Irian at night is more beautiful than during the day. Silver moonlight falls on the entire beach. The waves are silver and the beach is silver-white. Everything is so confined and holy.

Undoubtedly, after Juan and Luke were caught in, they started to spit out, and they explained everything they thought was valuable to them, including him. Du Lin didn't need to inquire to know that they must point their finger at themselves.

Since he dared to give these two to those of the Bureau of Investigation, he naturally handled his hands and tails. It was just that he didn't expect the other party to start investigating the jewellery company so quickly. It seemed that there was a very powerful guy among those people.

Du Lin thought that all his operations were flawless, including the jewelry company. But there is no absolute perfection in this world, there must always be something that is not clean, such as the registrant of a jewelry company. The Chamber of Commerce requires that all companies, companies and institutions must be registered by a living "natural person", because this involves a special situation in business, so he randomly found a gambler and asked him to register this jewelry company .

At that time I came to Ilian to consider that it was more convenient to go out to sea. Once someone really caught it, it was unreasonable to take him down, and he could leave Irian and flee to the Federation in the first time. Unfortunately, the level of those investigators is limited, and his tail has not been touched, giving him the opportunity to develop and grow. Today, there is no evidence to move him? Then ask Ilian City Hall to agree or disagree!

His total investment in the eighth district is already close to 20 million. That's not to say, he also hired 10,000 "poor people" in the fifth district to work for him.

A 20 million project, 10,000 or even more jobs, a large amount of tax each year, and future profits and taxes that can be expected, moving Du Lin means cutting meat on the city hall. Without his resistance, the city hall will protect him, and the rich who have a good relationship with him can say a few words. This is influence, this is the value and meaning of money.

The value of this message is not worth 10,000. Du Lin thinks it is worth it. The value is not the content of the message itself, but Kevin, a special intelligence channel.

He welcomes people from the Bureau of Investigation to Irian to find him. He wants to see what tricks these people can play. He is confident that he will survive the crisis in peace.

Time always slips away from people's fingers without knowing it. In a flash, the streets of Ilian have become very deserted, and the winter break has arrived. At this time, the outdoor temperature was only about ten degrees, and the wind on the beach was still strong. Few people were willing to run to the beach to blow hair in such weather. That was not enjoyment, but suffering.

During this time there were two small news, the first news was the Empire's first professional actor training school, born in Irian. In addition to Flenna, Du Lin also hired several well-known supporting actors and some old protagonists. They will become the first teachers of this school. The school recruited students from the whole society. It wasn't long before the announcement that many students came to report. Some were arranged by Du Lin, and some were real students.

In addition to this, the second thing is that the winery in Doolin has been completed. His request was to build the factory at the fastest speed and then produce the wine. They set up the frame first, and then renovated it later.

At this point, Du Lin was in the winery, and there were intoxicating fragrance everywhere, and staying here for a long time was like a dazzling drink.

Soon after, Rhodes, who had been appointed as the general manager of the winery, walked over with a water glass with a smile. He handed the glass to Dulin, who carefully looked at the liquid in the glass. Some turbid, powdery white, this is the so-called "raw pulp". Because there is no process of distillation, these liquids are the real "original pulp". He took a small sip and had a distinct taste of wine, which seemed to be a little heavier than those of fruit wine outside ~ lightnovelpub.net ~ He nodded, although it was still a bit sour, but it was already a good wine. "What about high alcohol? When can I come out?"

Rhodes is very happy that Doolin has not criticized or talked about the new wine, which means that he is very satisfied with these wines. The old man said with a smile: "It will take about a week if you are highly alcoholic. It absorbs impurities and moisture from the wine so that the color is transparent and the degree is high! "

Durin, who wasn't clear about the "traditional" brewing process, did not casually intervene in this matter. He returned the glass to Rhodes. "Strain it again, add a bit of pulp and spices, and you can bottle it!"

"By the way, how many bottles can be produced this time?"

"About 80,000 bottles. Many of the equipment are new. We are still in the process of being familiar with it. This time it is just an attempt. After we are familiar with it, the output will be doubled. About ten per month can be produced. Around 50,000 bottles. "

Rhodes is a treasure trove of things on his "site", but Du Lin is not satisfied!

Too few!
