Chapter 157: Build a winery
Su Ming hugged the small wine barrel and walked quickly underground. The appearance of the Supreme Master gave him a sense of reality.
This is not a normal 20th-century New York, but the Marvel world. Whether you see them or not, those with extraordinary powers still exist objectively.
There is no problem with his own plan, and there is no problem with Gu Yi’s attitude, but the progress needs to be accelerated and the scale of the plan needs to be expanded.
......
Next, he smoothly hit an abandoned underground cistern. He chose this place deliberately because it was located underground at 117 Blick Street.
In other words, above the head is the New York Temple...
Isn't Koichi love to peep? Then be a neighbor to let her see enough. She may be curious about new things, but no matter who observes for decades, she will be numb, and thus subconsciously ignore some small details. This is the black under the light often said in psychological tactics. .
It is impossible for her to ask anything, after all, it seems to her that Su Ming doesn't know anything. It is purely coincidental to choose here.
And I chose here because of the New York Temple itself. It is just like the Muggle dispelling spell in "Harry Potter". If it is not invited by the mage, Muggles will not see it and can serve as a winery. cover.
There are No. 116 and No. 118 on this street, but there is no No. 117. They are not the guests of the masters. They will only ignore the weirdness here from the bottom of my heart. This also means that others are looking for Su Ming’s winery from the ground. It is also impossible.
She feels right, this is not the last time she and Su Ming have seen each other, and now it’s a real way of looking up and lowering your head to see. From now on, Su Ming is like being transformed into a ‘big treasure’, which is seen every day.
Koichi also used cosmetics, probably...
After selecting the site, he immediately went to buy some equipment and raw materials. He himself was a humanoid crane. He bought a truck to find a flood channel by the sea to drive into the ground. With the help of complicated underground channels, he transported the equipment to the temple and assembled it. The small barrel of wine given to him also came in handy and could be used as a wine guide.
can start recruiting staff the next day. He wants to hire former winery employees, or unemployed workers without ambitions. The priority is given to the elderly and children in the family.
Prohibition has caused a large number of formal wineries to close down. There are too many such workers. Su Ming only found a few neighborhoods where the poor lived, and found that many people on the street were once brewers.
The more courageous ones are not here. They have already secretly brewed wine by themselves, but these people in front of them have concerns for various reasons and dare not start work in the basement, so Su Ming plans to take them with them.
These people are in urgent need of money. The existence of their family members allows them to control well. Su Ming is rich and powerful, as long as these people are loyal.
Brewing bootleg wine is a job that requires jail when caught, so the salary is also high.
But recruiting workers is much easier than Su Ming imagined. He just needs to get in there or find the door like a spy joint.
"Friend, have you heard of Amway?" Su Ming looked around while asking questions. The mysterious secrets aroused people's curiosity and made them willing to continue listening.
"Amway...what is it?" The target looked dumbfounded.
"Don't ask what it is, there is a job of 100 dollars a month, do you do it?" Su Ming took out a cigarette and lit it, and asked absently.
"Do it, do it!" Target looked excited.
How can not take the bait? The average wage of workers in this era is US$20, and Su Ming gave it five times.
So Su Ming gathered the recruited workers and brought them into the factory through a maze-like route. When the workers found out that it was making wine, they were relieved.
Sister, I thought I was going to kill people when I gave so much money. Isn't it just making wine? What kind of thing.
Not to mention that they were all in this industry before. Some of them were even workers in a factory. They were originally ordinary people. When they woke up one day, the state declared that it was illegal for them to work for most of their lives. How can people live?
People always have to eat, not to mention 100 dollars a month, you can buy 700 or 800 hamburgers.
If you do it yourself, you don’t dare to do it. If you get caught, your wife and children will suffer. But if someone is organized now, you will be more courageous.
was caught and went in for half a year. The prison still took care of food and housing. After half a year, he came out again as a hero. Besides, when he was caught for the family business, the boss would not treat his family badly.
Su Ming hadn't thought about getting into a gang, but his behavior and business in this era look different.
Underground production, organization members, secret joints, private wine brewing, illegal sales...
Well, in this era, the groups selling alcohol and liquor are the underworld criminal gangs, or gangs for short.
............
A week later, Su Ming’s first private wine went on sale.
Of course, no firecrackers were set off or reporters were invited, but in the dark, some people entered and exited from the hidden manhole cover, and moved boxes of wine into a basement on the side of the road.
Su Ming is now more at ease with these people. They all know that there is a winery in which they can only have food. Without the winery and Su Ming, his family will be hungry.
So these people are very reliable now. Su Ming also taught them the route to take the underground maze. They can commute to and from get off work like normal people every day, and there are no restrictions on their activities.
It's just that other people go to work by bus or by bicycle, and Su Ming's workers are drilling wells.
Because the wine is brewed underground and transported through the sewer, Su Ming named his own wine brand "Skywalker", which is different from most private wines of this era, just put it in a crock or glass bottle and sell it dirty. Now, Su Ming's wine bottle is very clean and beautiful, with a very conspicuous and beautiful logo.
Why is there such a thing as a trademark? It is because a long time ago, people were illiterate but could understand patterns. Trademarks used patterns to distinguish products. Although with the progress of the times, there are more and more people who recognize words, but trademarks are used. Has become a habit.
Su Ming knows the importance of the brand. Now is a good time to break the brand. He has improved some of the craftsmanship through future knowledge, and the wine is not mixed with water. As long as he builds a good reputation in the Prohibition Age, this will be an iron rice bowl in the future.
Alcohol is also an industry with very high brand recognition. Once a person gets used to drinking a certain kind of alcohol, it is very likely that he will continue to buy it for the rest of his life.
With the scale of the current underground wine shop, it can produce 500 barrels of various types of alcohol in a month, even if it runs at full capacity.
But don’t worry, this is only the first month. Five hundred barrels of wine are enough to make him earn about $30,000, deducting about three to four thousand costs, and his fixed investment in equipment purchases, and the rest is pure profit. He just has to keep snowballing.
'S current location is not close to the winery at all. In the sewer, they use a small truck to transport the drinks. Here Su Ming bought the basement of a building as his own bar.
When he has time, he plans to directly connect the bottom of the bar with the sewer, so that it is more concealed.
There is no decoration inside, just rows of round tables and chairs, a bar counter, and a piano. Anyway, at this time there will be business if there is wine, so why bother wasting money on useless things.
Watching the workers move the drinks into the shop and bottling them on the shelf behind the bar, Su Ming nodded in satisfaction.
"Hurry up tonight, and it will be open tomorrow night." Walking in the bar and stroking the brand new counter, he felt a sense of belonging.
"Okay, boss."
A young man with glasses followed him and took note of his arrangements.
He is an Irish smuggler. Su Ming accidentally picked him up when he was recruiting and found that he was literate a lot. The literacy rate in the United States was 14% these days. It is not easy to find a literate and flexible mind now, so Su Ming kept him. Be responsible for running errands and daily management.
After all, the winery is underground, and Su Ming, as the boss, can’t live there all the time. He rented a small apartment for himself at the door of the New York Temple and controlled it by remote control.
Irish names are a bit strange, especially those of Nordic ethnicity. The young man’s original name Su Ming doesn’t know how to pronounce it. It sounds like a string of spells.
For the sake of convenience, Su Ming gave him a new nickname called Jin (Gin), which is gin. After all, they have established a winery. Why don't the people under him have a wine name code?
Of course, the style of painting is far different. There is a black killer with fluttering hair, and Su Ming is a thin man with glasses.

"In the future, I will stay in the bar to prevent people from making trouble. If you have family and friends you can trust, call a few and let them work in the bar. The salary is $80 a month~www.NovelMTL.com~ Watching busy cleaning Hygiene people, Su Ming said about recruiting again, which made the workers very happy, after all, the salary is also high.
Such a good thing, of course, is to let family members try first. Friends are definitely not as reliable as their own family members. It is best to make money first.
Su Ming certainly has a plan. This is to tie the whole family of the workers to his chariot through blood relationship and interests.
"Okay, this underground bar is not small, but I only need 20 people, you have decided on the candidates, and report the list to Gin." Su Ming patted the shoulders of the young people around him, making him shake involuntarily: "He will After reviewing and judging, I remind everyone again that if people who don’t trust me join in, they will definitely harm others and themselves in the end. I am not a charity person."
"Of course, the boss can rest assured, I will ask my brother to come over tomorrow, absolutely trustworthy!"
"Yes, does the boss need a pianist? My son knows a little bit."
Looking at their enthusiastic appearance, Su Ming turned to Gin Jiu and said, "Do you know what to do?"
"Leave it to me, boss."
He pushed his glasses and showed a confident expression.
Su Ming is a little curious about what he did before. Is it necessary to come to the United States as a smuggler with this kind of tolerance? What did he hide?
But Su Ming found nothing wrong. He was alone and spent most of the time with Su Ming. There is nothing wrong with him.
No doubt about employing people, he is not Batman, there is no need to doubt everyone.
Su Ming nodded, turned around and walked towards the depths of the basement, where a small room was separated and used as his residence.
"I will leave it to you. If you do it well, you will take care of the bar and winery."
