old dream

Chapter 142 The Ideal Expansion
Ke Lin was going to hand over to Ji Li'an the work of separating the physical and chemical components from the entire "mass solution technique".This is also the first time she has come into contact with the use of the "Master" mirror image in the ceremony. In addition, the structure and notes of the mass solution technique are very standardized, so Ji Lian was fascinated by the atlas after receiving it from Ke Lin, and almost forgot There was another person present.

When Ji Lian thinks, she always makes some unconscious movements.Staring at the words and lines, she first curled her left hand to her chest, then unconsciously pushed her thumb under her lips, biting the extremely short nails with her white teeth.Ji Li'an will use this to relieve her anxiety if she is not paying attention, so her left thumbnail will have some damage all year round.

Although she made this action feel a little cute, but it is not a good sign, which means that her spirit has been in tension and depression for a long time.

Ji Lian is alone most of the time, so no one can remind her every moment.This bad habit should have been developed in recent years, because it might be okay if only one person fell into despair, but another person appeared, giving her a vague hope that she could hardly hold.

"Sit down on the sofa and watch."

Ke Lin couldn't help saying out loud that he had reminded Ji Lian not to bite her nails anymore, but she also knew that she couldn't restrain herself.

Hearing Ke Lin's reminder, Ji Li'an suddenly recovered.When she realized that she was biting her nails again, her first reaction was to hide her left hand behind her back, as if someone had seen a hidden scar.Ji Li'an has been trying her best not to show this inappropriate or fragile side in front of Ke Lin, but she was negligent for a while because she was fascinated by it.

"It will be handled much faster this time." She cleared her throat and tried to change the subject, her voice was still as soft as a whisper:
"These diagrams and notes are very detailed, even if they are placed in today's textbooks, they won't seem inconsistent." She turned her head and thought for a while:
"There will be results by the day after tomorrow at the latest."

The day after tomorrow, that is, the day her friend named Elena is going to move here.

If someone can accompany her for a period of time, maybe Ji Lian's mental state will improve a lot.That's why Colin agreed with Elena moving here.

He also thought about whether the roommate who had been in the same room with Ji Lian for a long time would be at risk of being infected.But Ji Lian paid more attention to this aspect than anyone else, so Ke Lin didn't ask too much.

"Now, there are no more secrets in this apartment." Colin said after deliberation:
"If you want to go out for a walk, don't worry about me anymore, just go out."

"Ah."

Although she was casually agreeing, now Ji Lian had put those atlases on the workbench and looked at them ecstatically.

She is obsessed with it herself, and she is the one who throws these jobs to Ji Lian and the one who benefits.So he is not qualified to say anything more.

Colin thought for a while, decided not to disturb her, and gently closed the door.

……

……

Alcohol distillation is progressing much more smoothly than expected, and blending is even less technical work.As a result, the [-] empty wine bottles left in the family workshop were consumed within two days.

If these [-] bottles of whiskey were blended so that they were almost indistinguishable from the original, if they were all sold in Colin's own underground bar, it would be enough to generate a profit of about [-] Orie.So Benedict has already started calculating when the other speakeasies will open.

This kind of place needs almost no decoration, and some broken wine barrels can be used as tables and chairs.As long as there is wine, venues and reliable manpower, it will expand in a very short period of time.

According to Benedict's calculations, based on the current profit increase of this speakeasy, they will be able to open a second one in a week at the latest.

But for this expansion speed, Ke Lin still felt that it was too slow.

"I don't have time to wait for such a slow opening, a little bit of accumulation."

"It's not slow at all."

Benedict couldn't help but said: "The second store made you wait for a week, but when you arrive at the third store, you only need to wait for four days. If the supply is still sufficient by the beginning of next month, your daily revenue will exceed Three thousand Ori, pay attention to every day!"

And this will continue to grow.

Less than a month ago, Benedict was still sewing more than a dozen pairs of leather shoes a day in a rental house, earning less than one ore.

But now this kind of simple and direct growth is exaggerated like mining in some games in Colin's previous life.

"No matter how much we have in our hands, we have to sell it to turn it into money that can be operated."

Realizing that his tone was a little too excited, Benedict carefully reminded Colin not to be in a hurry, but to be patient and they would definitely make a fortune.

It can only work if it is sold.Bootlegging is an illegal business, which means that they have nothing to do with the principality's developed financial industry, and must develop their own distribution channels from scratch.

Now the people under Colin can expand smoothly, to a certain extent, it is because the northern organization has been cultivated in South Stade and then was cleared out by Capello, and replaced by them.

Benedict didn't understand. Does Mr. Heinrich still feel dissatisfied with this situation that can't be better?

"That's right, things have to be sold." Colin inspected the distillation workshop with a mask on, and ordered again and again as if he didn't care:

"Prepare [-] bottles of whiskey and pack them in wooden boxes. A carriage will come to pick them up in batches tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."

"Eh?"

Benedict is a little unclear, so fifteen hundred bottles, that is, all they have blended and sealed so far.There are only so many bottles, so what should be used in the bar?

"As I said, it's better to use barrels in those places, and the lower the price, the lower it will be."

Anyway, it was not much higher.

Colin turned around and looked at Benedict. The latter didn't know why Colin started wearing a mask, but now he was living alone in a foreign country, and he was struggling at the bottom, and he knew that excess curiosity would only kill him. Own.

"If the day after tomorrow at the latest, there will be six thousand to seven thousand Ori in the account." Colin said:

"So how far can you expand our distribution system before next month?"

The six thousand to seven thousand auri that can be obtained immediately.Benedict swallowed a mouthful of saliva, which was enough to make their expansion process go forward by more than ten days at once.

And their expansion is an approximate exponential growth.

"Then we will have 24 speakeasies by the beginning of next month." Benedict reported the numbers directly, and he already had a model for the whole process in his mind:

"Every day, eight thousand Ori will be credited..."

Having said that, Benedict hesitated a little.At that point, growth may reach its limit, as constraints and uncertainties begin to emerge.He doesn't know how many supplies will be replenished in the future, and how many people in Stade dare to violate the law to consume.And what kind of obstacles will the people from the Prohibition Bureau and the Northern Organization create for them.

"If the whole of Stade is regarded as a wilderness without second competitors, the old city market is like a back garden for us to enter and exit."

There was no hesitation in Colin's words, and he continued to ask:

"If Prohibition doesn't seem to exist to people, and our supply, like the water of the Sable, keeps pouring in."

He stated conditions that far exceeded Benedict's expectations:

"So where will we be then?"

"...If you don't consider any restrictions, there will be 35 companies at the beginning of next month, with nearly [-] Ori being credited every day."

Benedict said curtly, not understanding why Heinrich asked.

This kind of condition is set too ideally, so it has no reference value.

Colin stopped in thought. He looked at the rectification equipment under the iron railing and the people operating it. He tapped his fingers on the handrail intentionally or unintentionally:

"……I understand."

After a while, he said.

This answer made Benedict inexplicably feel that this person was not just asking these questions casually.
