Almost everyone loved the taste but before they could voice their opinions, Keith took out another bottle and began to pour the contents into their glasses.
"This is the second one and it has no added flavors."
The group took a sip and Keith could imdiately tell that more than half of them didn't like the taste. Two of them even coughed like they were about to puke and this was enough for Keith to tell that the people would need so ti to get used to.
"Looks like so of you don't really like the way it tastes." he said as he glanced at these people and all of them gave him a bitter look.
"We're just not used to sothing like this. Almost all alcohols taste bad, so this one will take so getting used to. Sa goes with the people who'll buy this, so if you want this drink to beco popular, you'll need to take so drastic asures."
Keith grinned, "You're right. We really should take so drastic asures and the answer for that is to dilute this to 4% alcohol content before selling it to the people. Which ans that you'll have to use two of these bottles to make 5 diluted ones.
Then you can sell them at the sa cost as a bottle of beer, at 5 bottles for 1 brak. The profit margins on this one won't be high, but this low pricing will make people have only two options. The beer or my vodka.
Beer is extrely bitter, especially the cheap one. But when it cos to this, even though it slightly burns, it's almost tasteless." he said and took out another bottle and filled up their glasses once again.
Everyone drank it and this ti, their reactions weren't as exaggerated as before.
One of them frowned as he stared at the glass that he was holding, "Hmm... this might work but it doesn't have the fizz that beer has and so people like the bitterness too. This one tastes like water but it does have a faint taste of sothing else. Though, it mostly tastes flat."
Keith nodded in response and pointed out the advantages, "And this will cater to those people who don't like the bitterness." he said and took out the last bottle that had 50% alcohol concentration and gave it out.
"Instead of taking a sip, gulp it all down in one go. Just trust on this one." he said and the others nodded before doing the exact thing that Keith had said.
This ti, the reactions were even more exaggerated. One of them spit the liquid back into the glass while two of them tried their best to swallow until the vodka shot out of their nostrils.
Keith expected this, but he stayed silently as he watched the other nine who were recovering from the hit. Find adventures at empire
Once again, the sa guy who comnted a minute ago, spoke.
"Okay, this one has promise. Those hardcore liquor people will absolutely love this one but the pricing is a little..."
Keith nodded as he understood the problem, but he grinned and pointed at the glass that the man was holding.
"That's the reason why we'll sell this one in a different way compared to others. We'll sell these in glasses as well as bottles. We'll make more profit from the glasses but there will be people who'll still want to buy the strong version instead of the weak ones. Do you know why?"
"Stomach capacity?" one of them replied and Keith nodded with a smile on his face.
"Right! The main goal of alcoholics is to get drunk and if they can't get drunk by the ti their stomachs are full, then they'll feel like they've wasted their money. That's were this cos in. You'll sell two glasses for 1 brak and each glass will only contain 30 milliliters of vodka.
And unlike bottles, the custors are not allowed to take the glasses with them. So this way, you'll be saving money too. Just tell the bartenders to give you back the bottles once they're empty and you're good to go.
You'll just have to pay them one or two braks for ten bottles and this way, there won't be a need for recycling. All you'll have to do is clean the bottles well and use them again."
The discussions continued and Keith promised to deliver the goods on ti. He also gave each of them 50 Chrons as an investnt to set up the glass manufacturing facility in their locality.
Once they left, he let out a soft sigh and dived into his spatial dinsion. His potatoes were still growing, but to make samples for his distributors, he had to resort to using the left over potatoes to make vodka.
The one he currently planned on selling was unfiltered vodka, but in the future, he had plans to use filtering. This way, the vodka would be smooth and softer on the throat.
'Right now, let's just make the brand known to people. That's the first priority.' he thought as he used his ntal energy to boost the ti flow by two.
Currently, he could keep the ti boost up for approximately 9 hours straight but that was mostly because the plot he was boosting the ti for, had an area that was less than half of the maximum. (Accurate answer for the whole 1 million square ters of land is 267 minutes.)
And while these 9 hours passed, his ntal energy also recovered during this ti.
Originally, he needed around 18 hours to recover his ntal energy to full capacity and due to this, he could easily recover 50% of his ntal energy in those 9 hours.
This ant that he could continue the ti boost for even more hours. His natural recovery could keep the ti boost active for 17 hours and 50 minutes, but as long as Keith got his snu snu ti with Clara, he could easily extend the duration to 24 hours.
Though he could extend it over 24 hours, he would still need to recover his ntal energy after that as there wasn't any function that would reset his ntal energy back to full once a day was done.
