Old Gods, Rapid-Fire Guns, and Prohibition

Chapter 63 [Grape Brick Promotion]

Clay was naturally interested in where Vincent had been over the years.

But since Vincent didn't even tell Ethan, it was even more impossible for him to confess to Clay.

Clay was a little breathless for a moment.

"You two brothers are really..."

He was speechless. Finally, he drank a glass of wine and shook his head, as if to say, forget it, I forgive you.

"Actually, I came here tonight for something important."

"Oh?"

"It's a relief that you guys killed Lewis today. Everyone is very happy. Lewis has really caused everyone to lose too much money these days, but... this will definitely not be the end."

Ethan was also well aware of this.

Lewis was just a mad dog released by the Prohibition Bureau. They would never be scared and stop just because a dog died. On the contrary...

"The Prohibition Bureau will definitely take follow-up action. I've heard that Marvin has transferred a very capable person from the capital."

Hearing what Clay said, Ethan remembered the Aberline Court he met today.

That is indeed a scary guy.

"In short, you must be careful. Also, Sandro is planning to hold a meeting tomorrow to discuss follow-up actions and the distribution of benefits in the near future."

Ethan nodded.

He also wanted to meet with those people and promote the grape bricks he had just developed.

After that, the three of them drank for a while before dispersing.

The next morning, Ethan was planning to go to the factory in the southern suburbs to pick up the goods and then rush to a meeting, but he unexpectedly received a call.

To his surprise, the person who called was actually Pubol himself.

"Master, why are you calling?" Ethan looked flattered.

"Because I want to come visit you. When are you free?"

Although Ethan already knew that his paintings were highly recognized by Pubol, he did not expect Pubol to recognize him so much.

El did call last night to say that Pubol was coming to visit or something.

Ethan just thought that the other party was just talking. After all, for a so-called master, performance is also a very important part of daily work.

According to his original plan, he would find a day to visit Pubol and ask for his advice, which would be a great story.

Who would have thought that this Master Pubol seemed to be so genuine.

"I'm afraid I'm not free until this afternoon, Master."

"How about the afternoon, two o'clock in the afternoon?"

Pubol feels impatient.

Ethan could only sigh, perhaps this was Dali's charm.

When he got the assignment, the first thing he thought of was Dali's famous painting "The Persistence of Memory".

In addition, Pubol's style was actually somewhat similar to Dali's, so he left behind a final sketch.

Not only has it passed smoothly, it now seems that there is still huge room for maneuver.

Perhaps the key to Winston's upper class society lies right here.

But we still have to have a meeting first.

According to the original plan, Ethan first went to the handicraft factory to pick up the goods, and by the way, he paid attention to Walter's research and development progress.

With the incentive of a 6% profit share, Walter's progress was amazing. In just a few days, his product had been rapidly iterated.

The cost of grape bricks has now dropped to a little more than a bottle of moonshine, and the taste is even better and more consistent. If such a product were mass-produced and sold, the outside world would go crazy.

At 10:20 in the morning, on the third floor of Beihai Star Hotel, still in the large conference room.

When Ethan arrived, everyone was already there.

However, no one complained about Ethan's lateness.

The main thing is that he killed Lewis, the trouble that had been bothering everyone for a long time.

"Let us congratulate Ethan for eliminating the evil that has been harming our interests for so long."

Sandro even stood up and led everyone in applauding.

Everyone was in high spirits, especially George. The Evans family had suffered heavy losses due to being targeted these days. If Lewis didn't die, he would have to take action himself.

After the applause, the meeting began.

In fact, their business has been generally smooth over the past month.

Even with the Prohibition Bureau's interference, they only made a little less profit. Even the Evans family, which suffered the most losses, still made a profit when you really counted it all.

but……

"The situation will only get worse. Lewis's death is certainly welcome, but the Prohibition Bureau won't sit idly by. The latest news I've received is that Marvin transferred a man named Aberlin Court. This man has cleared out the underground world of Red Rock City in just six months. He's no ordinary person, so everyone must be careful."

After the joy, John Holt poured the first bucket of cold water on everyone.

"Also, the Bureau of Prohibition's inspections are becoming more frequent and detailed. Many of the previous liquor storage and selling plans are no longer effective. Does anyone have any good ideas?"

Dani took the opportunity to take over the conversation.

This is obviously a problem that everyone encounters.

Ethan has also heard that the Prohibition Agents have recently added a group of specially trained dogs, which may also be blessed with the power of their true names. They can actually smell the scent of alcohol from a long distance and thus locate the location of the bootleg liquor.

However, Dani's words hit Ethan's mark.

He didn't speak immediately, but waited for everyone to be silent, then clapped his hands gently.

"Everyone, maybe I can give you a little help."

He first asked someone to bring a glass of water, and then put the latest generation of grape brick down in front of everyone.

Soon, the grape bricks melted into the water and turned into a purple sea.

Ethan also asked everyone to smell the water. Apart from the faint scent of grapes, there was no other smell.

Everyone present looked at each other in confusion, not knowing what Ethan meant.

"Everyone, if I tell you that this glass of water will ferment into wine in three days, what do you think?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone began to breathe rapidly.

"really?"

"How can this be?!"

Ethan had anticipated this. He simply took out more samples, placed them on the table, and said, "Whether it's true or not, take a piece home and try it and you'll know. But I must remind you, you only have three days. After three days, if anyone finds me, I can still give them a 40% discount at the friendly price. After three days, it will be the original price. No more."

Seeing Ethan so confident, everyone was surprised and confused.

After all, if what Ethan said was true, then the value of this thing would be beyond imagination.

Not only is it extremely covert, completely evading investigation by the Bureau of Prohibition, but if run well, it can even be run as a legal business.

You know, before it ferments, it's not wine at all.

Is this really such a crazy thing?
