Treasure hunt begins in England

Chapter 276 Trading
Since the effect of the card obtained this time was indeed very good, Liang En excitedly used [Rock Control (SR)] to practice against the few palm-sized rocks he bought beforehand.

As a result, he found that it was not an easy task to make stone carvings with this skill. Compared with making a stone thorn or similar rough gadgets, making stone carvings was more than one level more difficult.

This is especially true for some very delicate sculptures. It is not easy to think about the final appearance of these stone sculptures in advance, especially the details.

Fortunately, Liang En has acquired high-level sketching skills, so the corresponding three-dimensional thinking has become much stronger, so after adjustments, he finally made two or three palm-sized stone figures.

However, in this attempt, he also realized that his level was limited to copying what he had seen, and he could not create art like an artist at all.

But then again, Liang En didn't intend to become a sculptor, so it was quite satisfying to be able to do this as a hobby.

Because it took a lot of time trying to use this skill, Liang En didn't go to sleep until two o'clock in the morning that day, so when he woke up the next morning, he could see at a glance that the time had already reached 9:30 in the morning.

"Can you sell me some of your wine?" When Liang En finished his meal and was about to leave the room for a walk, Fan Meng, who had just returned from the gym after exercising, greeted Liang En and asked.

"These wines are all good wines, so whether it's you, Jeanne or Pierce, I will each send a case of 12 bottles. You don't need to spend money on this wine at all." Liang En said with a smile.

"After all, we encountered so many things this time, and we just found these good wines, so I think it's a good idea for everyone to take some of them as souvenirs."

"Thank you for your generosity, brother, but I don't want these wines myself, but I plan to purchase fifty or sixty bottles of good things for my father's hotel to put in the store, so I will pay the price. How much will you pay?" Fan Meng said with a smile.

"You also know the situation in my store, so these wines must be on the public account of the store, so you don't have to think too much when asking the price."

"Okay, then let's go pick wine now." Hearing what Fan Meng said, Liang En nodded, and then went with him to the truck in the parking lot to pick wine.

Because the two families have been cooperating for 20 years, Liang En also knows the character of Fan Meng's family, so he just discounted the price of the wine by 50%, but the [-] bottles of wine he found were all of the same kind Best kept inside.

When Fan Meng paid the money and took the wine to go out to mail home, Liang En called and started contacting the buyers of the wine in hand. As a result, the first person he contacted, Pierce, said that the Emerald Thrift Store was not very popular. Fit to receive this batch of brandy.

"This type of aged wine is actually quite popular, but the problem is that we need a license to sell wine, and this kind of license is quite difficult to apply for, and it is not cheap at the same time."

After declining the batch of brandy, Pierce explained why.In all the countries in the world where alcoholic beverages can be legally sold, most of the sales of alcoholic beverages require a license and payment of corresponding taxes.

For Pierce, the Emerald Thrift Store is about selling all kinds of old things and antiques, and it won't be expanding its business anytime soon.Therefore, it is naturally impossible to expand blindly for money.

As for the separate certificates for the sale of this batch of wine, it is naturally not worthwhile. The fees required to obtain the certificates are enough to eat up a large part of the profits.

After ruling out the first candidate, Liang En immediately called Carlos, the bar owner who spent money to buy the submachine gun and still that Liang En found last time.

Because it was a personal phone call last time, the call was quickly connected. After greeting each other, Liang En straightforwardly said that he had a batch of well-preserved brandy aged more than 60 years ago.

"You said that you now have more than 1000 bottles of brandy from more than half a century ago." After the introduction, the other side was quiet for several seconds, and then Carlos' eager voice came from the microphone. "And all of them are well-preserved?"

"Yes, these brandies were found in an abandoned underground wine cellar." Liang En said with a smile, "Although the wine cellar is not very formal, it can guarantee protection from light and constant temperature and humidity, so the overall preservation condition very good."

After speaking, Liang En immediately sent a dozen photos of the wines that were randomly selected before. After seeing the conditions of those wines, Carlos immediately expressed his desire to buy them, and said that he would come to Philadelphia in the afternoon.

Obviously, the place where Carlos was before was not too close to Philadelphia, so he waited until around 5 pm before Carlos called to say that he had arrived in Philadelphia, and then came to the hotel to meet Liang En.

"You're really lucky." After inspecting the wine on the truck with two other subordinates who came from New York, Carlos smiled. "These things are a really good batch for me."

Under normal circumstances, even if the buyer really likes the goods in this kind of negotiation, he would not say so directly. a feeling of.Carlos felt that it would be good for both parties to talk openly and honestly at this time.

"Although these wines are not as rare and expensive as those famous wines, it is not so easy to obtain them. After all, more than half a century is enough to kill a lot of things." Carlos explained.

"To tell you the truth, for the bars I run, this kind of wine is the high-end wine that is sold in daily operations, as for the tens of thousands of dollars a bottle, most of the time it is only used to show the taste of the bar It's just a decoration."

"Then what is the value of these wines?" Liang En asked after listening to Carlos's introduction. He had already learned a relatively accurate price range from Pierce before, and asking now is a kind of temptation.

After all, he and Carlos didn't have much contact except for one transaction before, and the two parties are not very familiar with each other, so naturally a certain degree of vigilance needs to be maintained.

"The brands of your wines are all mid-range products back then, but after so many years, some wineries have disappeared into history, while others have become more popular—"

After hearing Liang En's question, Carlos thought for a while, then raised his head and said.

"So I really can't come up with an accurate estimate in a short period of time, but on the whole, I can basically confirm that the value of these wines is between 60 and 65 US dollars."

"The price is very reasonable." Liang En nodded. "So you can offer a specific value now, as long as it is suitable, we will make a deal."

"After all, I came to the United States this time mainly to find some valuable historical items, so I don't want to spend too much energy on such things that have nothing to do with the main goal."
