Chapter 729: Wine business (2/2)

He came with five more people. four humans, three elves, one half-elf, and two centaurs.

They went to a private room. The restaurant is large and could accommodate the centaurs, in fact, the owner of the restaurant himself is a centaur.

Raunak took out some fruit samples from the storage for Sam to see and even took some wines that are made with those fruits respectively.

Sam has already tasted the wines, so he focused on the fruits. Most of the fruits are new to him and some of them have an uncanny resemblance to the fruits on earth.

He tasted them and felt surprised that there are such good fruits in this place.

In comparison, the wines are clearly not doing any justice to the fruits that are used to make them.

Even the wines are not extremely good. Most of the Ape's wines are quite superior to the wines in this place.

He took out his own fruits and wines from this storage and let them taste it.

All eleven of them are surprised.

”These are some of the wines that are made by a friend of mine. I like the fruits here and I am sure he can make even better wine with them than this brewery could ever do.”

”Are you down for our next business?”

”What are they here for?” Raunak asked as he pointed at the ten.

”Well, they would be buying fields in the towns. I hope you can do that. Even if the fields are small, all I need is a field that is enough for a small orchard in each town. And they will be growing some of my fruits and some of the local produce.

On top of that, they will be opening a bar in each town. Selling wine in all five of these places.

They will pay the taxes for the fruits and the bars directly.”

”There are a few problems here. One of them is that we can't buy fields easily.”

”What if you increase the price?”

”How much can we pay?”

”Is the price of agricultural land regulated by the government?”

”No, it is all between the buyer and seller as long as the tax is paid.”

”Okay, try to pull your strings and increase the price five times the normal and also tell them that we would pay the tax on their behalf. They can put the tax money in their own pockets. Will they agree?”

”Five times is too big of a price.”

”Of course, it is the maximum price. Increase it bit by bit. I am pretty sure that someone would be interested. After all, who would want to stay in this place forever? From what I observed, everyone wants civilian identity and everyone wants to stay on Planet 1. I think with this deal I can offer them both.”

”There is a chance.”

”Apart from that, help them rent the shop and residence in the town. I also need a place in the nearest town from here so that I can open my small brewery.

In this way, you will get the taxes from fields that are bought, the wines, the fruit orchards, and the brewery.

All ten of those people will also be able to pay enough taxes to gain their civilian identity. I want you to get promoted in the next four months and after that I want you to get promoted once again in the latter six months.

Anyway, if my estimation is right, since faction 2 has too much at stake in the elections and also the wine industry they had a firm hold on would be in a crisis if my wine sells fast enough.

If that happens, they would come for the recipes and brewing processes as soon as they can and all I have to do is resist them for a while and I would be able to bleed them dry.

On top of that, faction 1 will also take this chance at penetrating the industry and try to get their hands on the brewing methods.

The prices will jack up and it would be a great business. Anyway, I have a hidden card that could make up for the remaining taxes, and everything would be successful as long the execution is handled perfectly.”
