The Odin Empire, which is only 500 kilometers away from Frosinone, is located in the north, and 70% of the land is covered by ice and snow for at least six months in a year. Therefore, the Odin people, regardless of men, women and children, I love wine, which can warm the body with just one sip.
Although the Odin people are good for wine, it is a pity that although the Odin Empire has a lot of arable land, but because the land is covered with snow and ice most of the time, only one period of grain can be grown a year, which leads to the Odin Empire’s land. The grain production rate in China is very low, and the grain produced each year can barely be enough for the entire country’s people to eat.
If the year is bad, the Odin Empire’s grain will not be enough to eat. Therefore, even if the Odin people are doing good wine, they cannot produce too much grain to make wine, plus The level of industrialization of the Odin Empire itself is also relatively poor, which leads to the low utilization rate of grain used for winemaking in the Odin Empire. This double blow has resulted in the fact that the amount of wine produced in the Odin Empire every year is very scarce.
As the saying goes, things are rare and expensive. In the Odin Empire, whether it is beer, distilled spirits, or wine, it can be said to be a high-end item, and ordinary working families can’t afford it at all.··················································································································································································································································· ··
Although wine is very expensive and scarce in the Odin Empire, in the Odin Empire’s neighbor, the Kaman Empire, it has basically completed the full coverage of arable land and chemical fertilizers. In addition, in recent years, the weather has been smooth and the grain has been harvested year after year. The warehouse is full, and the grains for brewing wine are very rich. In addition, the advanced industrial level also allows the Kaman Empire’s wine industry to be mainly produced by factories. Therefore, whether it is the production efficiency of wine or the utilization rate of grain, look at the whole Byzantine continent. ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? , Are in a leading position, so in the Kaman Empire, alcohol is still a relatively cheap commodity, and ordinary working-class people can realize the freedom of alcohol.
According to the Kaman Empire’s most authoritative business survey company, Old Trafford, the price of beer of the same capacity and quality is five times that of the Kaman Empire, the price of distilled liquor is eight times that of the Kaman Empire, and the price of wine is Ten times, high-end wine products are even more exaggerated, the gap is as much as 18 times!
Therefore, it is precisely because of the strong difference in the price of wine between the two countries that, in order to make huge profits in recent years, a large number of Kaman merchants have sold the wine of the Kaman Empire to the Odin Empire, earning huge profits, and greatly hitting the original wine of the Odin Empire. The vested interest group of the factory.
The dumping of a large amount of cheap Kaman liquor forced the originally fragmented Odin Empire winery and the interest groups behind it to unite to exert influence on the Odin Empire and force the Odin Empire to dump the Kaman Empire. In order to reduce the price competitiveness of Kaman Empire’s beverages, the price of Kaman Empire’s beverages can be reduced to the same starting line as possible.
The high tariffs are undoubtedly a severe blow. The normal trade between Kaman and the Odin Empire, but the huge profits, has caused a large number of illegal businessmen to ignore the majesty of the law and choose the path of smuggling. There are hundreds of people who have lost their lives by doing this, but the billowing heads and pieces of hanged corpses still have no way to resist the madness of the Kaman merchant in pursuit of wealth.
Although there is a steady stream of people being executed, more people are still rushing to buy wine secretly from the Kaman Empire to the Odin Empire. Various smuggling methods can be said to be endless, and it is impossible to prevent. The long border between the Kaman Empire and the Odin Empire also greatly increased the difficulty of the Odin Empire’s monitoring and prevention, and provided convenience for the smuggling of the Kaman merchants.························································································································································································································································
And Gallardini’s boss is also a member of the smuggled wine products to the Odin Empire, but he is quite clever. He uses the timber trade as a disguise to hide the distilled spirits in bottles. In the wood, I want to use this to get confused and pass the Odin Empire’s security inspection.
As the warehouse night watchman Gallardini, he accidentally ran into the boss’s good deeds during a night patrol. However, he knew that the matter was serious and involved a lot of things. Gallardini, after careful consideration, was still the choice. To pretend to be confused, when not knowing what happened.
He knows very well that once the boss knows that Gallardini found out about smuggling wine in the wood, he will lose his job at the slightest level, and lose his life at the worst. So in order to save his job and his life, Gallardini is I buried this secret deeply in my heart, and I have never mentioned it to anyone. If it weren’t for now, in this room, I was threatened with death. Gallardini would probably not say it until he died. Out of this great secret!
A few seconds after Gallardini gave the answer to the question the low voice in the room sounded again, asking the second question.
“How much do you know about the goods in the warehouse?”
Hearing the emergence of this problem, Gallardini became a little entangled. He hesitated for a while and said: “If I tell you, I know things, can you protect the life of my family? My boss You know if I betray him, he will kill my whole family…”
“Pa! Pa!”
Gallardini hadn’t finished speaking, but it stopped abruptly. Two crisp sounds appeared in the room. Although no one had contact with him, Gallardini felt him. Was hit twice in the face
“Finally remind you of the rules, I will ask you to answer, you are not qualified to negotiate terms with me.” The low voice sounded in the room again.
Gallardini, who was slapped twice, was very angry in his heart, but under the death threat of the opponent, he could only honestly admit it, and said dejectedly: “I am a Marat security guard. The night watchman of the company, my boss is Sodir, he is the son-in-law of the company’s boss Marat Grigorian. I don’t know the goods in the warehouse, but there are about a thousand bottles of them. Nominally they belonged to Marat Grigorian.”
“But we are a small company with dozens of people. Even with Marat Grigorian, we are just a small boss with no money. He has no money to buy such a large quantity of goods, so according to me According to his observation, the real owner of the valuable goods in the warehouse is not Marat Grigorian, but someone else…”
