Marvel: I traveled through time a little early

Chapter 12 Winery
Thirty hours later, George stood in front of the Bank of Canada in Niagara.

Yes George went straight for a big run.Instead of choosing to be close to cities such as Vancouver in the United States, we chose Walkerville, a small town in Ontario, Canada, close to Lake Ontario.

The town is located on the shores of Lake Ontario and has a history of 200 years. There are more than a dozen wineries in the town and its surrounding areas, producing various wines.

George didn't know much about it before, but after flying to Vancouver on the way, he learned from the locals that alcohol prohibition had been banned in Canada four years ago.But later, because too much smuggled alcohol from the United States entered Canada, Canada relaxed its alcohol prohibition.

Similarly, now that the United States has begun to prohibit alcohol, Naga has begun to support the United States.Therefore, several major cities close to the United States are the hardest hit areas for smuggling.George believed that even a nearby location would be visited by alcohol smugglers in a few years.

If George just wants to buy a batch of wine back, that's easy. As long as the money is available, he can always buy it, but it won't last long.George knew about this alcohol prohibition, but it had been banned for more than ten years.Therefore, George cannot always do this kind of bulk buying.

I also inquired with the Canadians and found out that the raw materials for the two types of wine abundant in Canada are grains.In particular, Canadian whiskey, known as the top five whiskeys in the world, requires a grain called rye.

After confirming the location again, George flew directly to Attawaki Pist.

Firstly, this place is due to the climate and is rich in crops. If you build a factory here, it will be very convenient to buy raw materials for brewing. Secondly, this place is close to the lake and faces the United States across the lake, so logistics and transportation are convenient.The larger the population, the easier it is to recruit workers.The most important thing is that there has been a winery here before, so buying directly saves time and effort.

When George came to this place as a foreigner, it was very difficult to complete these things in a short time.So first in a deserted place, then put on the brand clothes I bought before, and then walked into the bank.

As soon as I entered the bank gate, a beautiful woman in uniform walked up to me and said with a smile: "Hello, sir! How can I help you?"

"I want to check the account balance." George said calmly.

"Sir, this way please."

State your name, account number and verification password.By the time the bank verified the information with Bank of America, George had already refilled his coffee twice.

Finally, the beautiful woman from before came over, bent down and said softly: "Mr. Orwell, I'm sorry to keep you waiting. I just checked and you still have 45 US dollars in your account."

George nodded with satisfaction and smiled at the manager.George can definitely guarantee that the reason he smiled at the beauty was not because he found that the beauty's collar buttons, which were fine just now, were unbuttoned.Ahem!
The beautiful manager then said in a softer tone: "Mr. Orwell, my name is Belle, is there anything else I can help you with?"

"Of course, please help me invite one of the best agents here. Thank you."

"Mr. Orwell, do you want to buy anything? I can also introduce it to you!"

"It's better to help me find a professional agent. If I need to browse the scenery of Walkerville, I will definitely come to you, beautiful lady." He didn't want to waste time on these people now, so he said directly.

"Okay, please come with me." Perhaps hearing the rejection in George's words, the female manager, whose name had not yet been remembered by George, led George into a reception room.After inviting George to sit down, someone brought another cup of coffee, but the beautiful manager had already gone out to look for someone.

Within a few minutes, she brought in a bald, middle-aged man.After the two parties introduced each other, they sat down on both sides of the coffee table.

The female manager resigned and left in a very ethical manner and closed the door of the conference room.

George looked at the manager named John in front of him, who had about the same hair volume and fat belly as his previous life, and felt an inexplicable sense of déjà vu.George secretly thought that if he had not time traveled, he would probably be like this after middle age.

John didn't know that the young man sitting on his right would think so much, so he asked directly: "Mr. Orwell, you are very welcome to Walkerville. Just now Belle told me that you have some needs from me. I can help you. What is it?"

George looked at John and said: "Of course, that's the case. California produces two kinds of wine, one is whiskey and the other is wine. I want to buy two wineries. Of course, if there is a winery that can produce two kinds of wine at the same time. better."

"Okay, is that all? Then, please wait a moment." After saying that, he stood up, bowed slightly to George, and then left the room.

After another 10 minutes or so, John walked in with a folder.

As he walked, he said: "Sorry, Mr. Orwell, for keeping you waiting." Then he sat down opposite, opened the document in his hand, turned to George, handed the document to George with both hands, and then introduced to George: " Mr. Orwell, please see that there are currently five wineries for sale here. One of them is a winery without supporting manor, and the other four are fully equipped wineries. Among them, Gwen Wine The winery is the most famous. In the past, this winery was rich in whiskey. However, since the death of Gwen Sr. five years ago, Gwen Jr. has his own business in Vancouver, and then caught up with the Canadian Prohibition. The winery has been suspended. This year Prohibition had just been lifted, and Gwen Jr. was planning to sell the winery. Across a small river from Gwen Winery was another winery specializing in the production of wine. If Mr. George bought both wineries, serialized Together, we can just meet your requirements.”

"What are the quotations of the two wineries? Do you have an estimate of the minimum transaction price? If I buy all two wineries, how will the section of the river flowing through the winery be calculated? Do I need to pay extra for water use in the future? ?" George asked all his questions at once, which saved the most time. "The most important thing is, are all the workers in the winery still here? Can production be resumed at any time?"

John is indeed a professional agent and answered directly: "The total quotations from both sides are US$25. If it is cash, I think we can negotiate US$20. If we buy them all, we can donate some money to the government. You can directly surround the two wineries into one. As long as you do not pollute the water in the water source, you can use it as you like. Regarding the production issues you are concerned about, please rest assured. This city is not big and the employment positions are limited. The workers working for the two wineries are all good winemakers, but there are only so many local wineries. And the most important thing about wineries is technology, so all the winemakers and workers are still there. They can resume work at any time.”

"When can we visit?"

"anytime!"

"Let's go then!" After saying that, George stood up directly.John followed immediately.When he reached the lobby, he asked George to wait for a moment.Then he invited George to go out. The doorman helped open the door, and George saw a car parked at the door.John opened the door in advance, and after George got in and sat down, he closed the door and walked to the passenger seat to sit down.

Then the driver drove towards the farm under John's command.

As the car slowly drove out of the town, the buildings on both sides of the road gradually became fewer and fewer.After turning an intersection, we started driving on a country road.The path was only wide enough for two cars to drive side by side at most. Maybe there were more people walking on this road and the cars weren't going fast, so George didn't feel much bumps.

After driving for 10 minutes, the car turned onto a small road again and stopped in front of a gate 5 minutes later.The car honked the horn, but when no one opened the door, John took the initiative to get out of the car, walked to the door, and pushed the door open.

After getting in the car again, he asked the driver to blow the horn over and over again.After driving for another 2 minutes, the car stopped in front of a two-story villa.

At the entrance of the villa is a circular garden.There is a pool in the middle of the garden.The villa looks very big from the outside.The first floor is about [-] square meters.There are five independent cabins on the left side of the villa, which should be the residences of workers or winemakers.There is a row of warehouses on the right, which should also function as stables, because he heard the sound of horses braying.

Just when George was looking at the surrounding environment, the door of the villa was opened from the inside.An old woman came out supported by a half-year-old child.Seeing that it was John, he smiled and nodded and said, "It's you, little John."

John walked a few steps quickly, met the old man, gave him a warm hug, and said with a smile: "Yes, madam, you are still in good spirits."

The old woman patted John on the shoulder, looked at George, and said, "Does anyone want to buy it?"

John quickly replied: "I am interested, so I brought him to have a look."

At this time, George also came over, and John introduced: "Madam, this is Mr. Orwell, and Mr. Orwell, this is Mrs. Gwen."

George reached out his hand first, shook hands with the old lady and said, "Hello, madam."

The old lady smiled and said, "How about you too, young man."

He turned to look at John again and said: "Little John, you can take the guests around by yourself. I am an old man and I won't accompany you young people. If you need anything, just come to me. By the way, I'm from the wine cellar." The key is still in the same place, go and see for yourself."

"Okay, ma'am."

After the old lady turned around and walked back to the room, John sighed and said to George: "Little Gwen and I are classmates, so my wife has watched me grow up. Now that little Gwen is selling the winery, she is most reluctant to part with it. She must be Madam.”

Then they stopped talking about this topic and the two of them took a look in the winery. John even took George down to the wine cellar to look at the wine.George discovered that the wine cellar actually contained wine.They are all barrel-aged wines.There are three sizes, and there are about fifty barrels in a 150-liter bucket.The middle one is a [-]-liter barrel, which has about a hundred barrels, and then the largest seven-hundred-liter barrel has about thirty barrels.

There should be [-] liters of wine here, which is about [-] bottles. These wines alone should be worth a lot of money.

Then George asked: "Does the price include these wines?"

"Yes, all drinks included."

"Okay, let's go to another winery and have a look."

"Okay, sir"

George followed John to another winery. Because it was making wine, this winery had many grapevines, lined up in rows, like neat rows of soldiers, waiting for the general's inspection.

The two wineries are backed by a hill. If Gwen Winery expands a little further, it will completely own the entire peninsula stretching towards Lake Ontario.

Then George asked about the ownership of the hill and the small piece of land.Because John is a local and is very familiar with this place, he directly told him that it is a common land in the town.The town originally planned to build a castle on the hill. Due to the high cost, alcohol prohibition in the past few years, and basically no one coming here, it has always been empty.

After looking around, George asked John to take him to the best hotel in the town. In the hotel lobby, George made a request: take the peninsula as the line, the two wineries plus the hill and the small piece of land, all added together Based on $25, he would take 5 percentage points from the portion John negotiated, and the time should be quick.

Don’t think that five points is very small. For example, if the final transaction price is 24 yuan, it is five points of 1 yuan, which is 500 US dollars. Looking at just one point, his current daily salary is only 5 US dollars. The most popular Ford car now only costs about $[-].

So when he heard about George's reward system, John felt as if he had been given a shot.After talking to George, he left in the car.
