Count of Wizards

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 a year. I am very fond of alcohol, which can warm my body after a sip.

Although the Odin people are good at wine, it is a pity that although the Odin Empire has a lot of arable land, but because the land is covered by ice and snow most of the time, they can only grow grain once a year at most, which leads to the land of the Odin Empire The grain production rate in China is very low, and the grain produced every year can only barely meet the needs of the entire country.

If the year is not good, the grain of the Odin Empire will not be enough to eat, so in such a situation, even if the Odin people are good at wine, they will not be able to produce too much grain to make wine. The industrialization level of the Odin Empire itself is also relatively poor, which leads to a low utilization rate of the grain used for wine making in the Odin Empire. This double blow has led to a very small amount of wine produced each year in the Odin Empire.

As the saying goes, what is rare is the most expensive. In the Odin Empire, beer, distilled wine, or wine can be said to be a high-end item, and ordinary working families can't afford it... ··

Although wine is very expensive and rare in the Odin Empire, in the Kaman Empire, the neighbor of the Odin Empire, it is because the complete coverage of cultivated land and chemical fertilizers has been basically completed. The warehouse is full, and the food for brewing wine is very rich. In addition, the advanced industrial level also makes the wine industry of the Kaman Empire mainly produced by factories. Therefore, whether it is the production efficiency of wine or the utilization rate of grain, look at the entire 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 achieve freedom of alcohol.

According to the survey conducted by Old Trafford, the most authoritative business research company in the Kaman Empire, the price of beer of the same volume and quality is five times that of the Kaman Empire, distilled wine is eight times that of the Kaman Empire, and wine is Ten times, the high-end wine products are even more exaggerated, the gap is as much as eighteen times!

Therefore, it is precisely because of the strong price gap between the two countries that in order to make huge profits over the years, a large number of Kaman businessmen 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. Vested interest groups of the factory.

The dumping of a large amount of cheap Kaman wine forced the originally fragmented Odin Empire winery and the interest groups behind it to unite to exert influence on the regime of the Odin Empire, forcing the Odin Empire regime to dump the Kaman Empire. The wines and drinks in the country are subject to high tariffs that are several times or even more than ten times the price of their own, so as to reduce the price competitiveness of the drinks in the Kaman Empire and bring the product sales competition of both parties back to the same starting line as much as possible.

The high tariffs are undoubtedly a heavy blow. The normal Kaman and Odin Empire wine trade, but the huge profits have also caused a large number of unscrupulous businessmen to ignore the majesty of the law and choose the road of smuggling. Every year because of The people who lost their lives doing this thing must be at least a few hundred people, but the rolling heads and piles of hanged corpses still have no way to resist the madness of the Kaman businessman in pursuit of wealth.

Although there was a steady stream of people who were executed, more people were still flocking to them, wanting to secretly bring wine from the Kaman Empire to the Odin Empire to buy. Various smuggling methods can be said to emerge in endlessly, which is hard to guard against. 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 Kaman merchants...

And Gagliardini's boss is also a member of this group of smuggled alcohol products to the Odin Empire, but he did it smartly. He used the timber trade as a disguise to hide bottles of distilled alcohol in the Among the wood, I want to use this to confuse the Communist Party and pass the Odin Empire's customs inspection.

As the night watchman of the warehouse, Gagliardini, once on patrol at night, accidentally bumped into the good deed of the boss, but Gagliardini knew that the matter was important and involved deep and wide. After careful consideration, he still chose Just pretend to be confused, pretending not to know what happened.

He knew very well that once his boss found out that Gagliardini found smuggled wine in the wood, he would lose his job at least, or his life at worst. So in order to keep his job and life, Gagliardini I buried this secret deeply in my heart, and never mentioned it to anyone. If it wasn't for now, in this room, being threatened with death, Gagliardini might not say it until he died. Reveal this big secret!

A few seconds after Gagliardini gave the answer to the question, the deep voice in the room sounded again, asking a second question.

"How much do you know about this batch of goods in the warehouse?"

Hearing this question, Gagliardini seemed a bit entangled. He hesitated for a while and said, "If I tell you that I know something, can you guarantee the safety of my family? My boss If you know that if I betray him, he will definitely kill my whole family..."

"Pa! Pa!"

Before Gagliardini finished speaking, he stopped abruptly. Two clear voices emerged in the room. Although no one had contact with him, Gagliardini felt that he He was slapped twice in the face

"Remind you of the rules one last time. I will ask you to answer. You are not qualified to negotiate with me." A deep voice sounded in the room again.

Gagliardini, who was slapped twice, was very angry in his heart, but under the threat of death from the other party, he could only admit defeat honestly, and said dejectedly: "I am the security guard of Marat. The night watchman of the company, my boss is Sodir, he is the son-in-law of Marat Grigorian, the boss of the company, I have not counted the goods in the warehouse, but there are about a thousand bottles, they Nominally all belonged to Marat Grigorian."

"But we are a small company with dozens of people, and even Marat Grigorian is just a small boss with little money. He doesn't have much money to buy such a large amount of goods, so according to my According to my observation, the real owner of the valuable goods in the warehouse is not Marat Grigorian, but someone else..."
