There were two large wine jars sealed with clay in the bamboo basket, each adorned with a big red character: Monkey.
"Is this the Monkey Wine from Great Sage Liquor Industry?" Yang Tao, who knew more about Suming's business, imdiately thought of Suming's famous product, Da Sheng Hundred Fruits Brew, when he saw the wine jar with the monkey stamp.
Before Suming had a chance to speak, Yang Lin was taken aback, eyeing Suming with surprise: "The wine from Great Sage Liquor Industry is hard to co by, how did you manage to buy so much at once? I've never seen this kind of jarred wine on the market before, Su, do you know their boss?"
Yang Lin, often socializing outside and himself a lover of wine, was well-versed in the dostic alcohol industry and naturally Great Sage Liquor Industry, which had surged in popularity over the past six months, was no exception.
Suming just smiled, finding it hard to explain, as Yang Tao chid in from the side: "Dad, you might not know this, but Great Sage Liquor Industry is Suming's own business."
"What? Great Sage Liquor Industry is Suming's business!" If it weren't for the central nervous system injury and his body's inability to allow it, Yang Lin would have nearly jumped out of his wheelchair, his gaze at Suming completely transford.
This young man, the sa age as his son and only a year out of graduation, managed to take over the entire zoo, developed three Tao Gardens, which was already an exceptionally rare achievent among his peers.
And he owned the renowned Great Sage Liquor Industry as well?
Although Great Sage Liquor Industry might not be very large in scale, unable to compare with top dostic brands, or even considered second-tier, its sales were incredibly good, basically "available at a price, but not on the market." As soon as a new batch of products hit the market, it would sell out within days, and even wealthy people might not be able to buy it. They said they were pursuing a boutique strategy and would not expand on a large scale.
In the national liquor-making industry, Great Sage Liquor Industry wasn't the largest, nor did it make the most money, but it was undoubtedly the most attractive.
"I'm one of the shareholders," Suming laughed.
"The major shareholder," Yang Tao also laughed, saying, "Look at you, Dad. Suming has a lot of businesses under his na, Great Sage Liquor Industry is just one of them."
"Just one of them?!" Yang Lin glared at his son, "An ordinary person might not achieve this in their lifeti, Su, you're impressive. What other businesses do you have? Spill it all out, maybe the shock will get standing up right away."
Yang Lin was joking, and everyone chuckled, then Suming pointed at the two jars of wine and said, "Uncle Yang, the wine from Great Sage Liquor Industry has health-strengthening benefits..."
"Yes, yes!" Yang Lin nodded vigorously: "I know, other brands claim they strengthen the body and improve health, mostly just advertising gimmicks, but your family's wine is indeed good. In Jiangcheng City, so leaders rush to buy it through connections every ti a new wine is released, treating it like dicinal wine, and the effects are said to be very good, it's almost mythical within the industry."
"It's not that exaggerated," Suming smiled: "I asked the doctor, and with your condition, drinking a bit of wine in moderation to relax the muscles and improve blood circulation is beneficial for recovery. These two jars of wine are internal products of Great Sage Liquor Industry, aged brews not for sale to the public. In terms of health and strength benefits, they are much better than the Da Sheng Liquor available on the market. You could drink about two ounces a day and see, you might be able to stand within half a year."
"Hahaha!" Yang Lin laughed heartily, saying, "I've co to terms with it, if I stand up, I'll have the troubles of standing. Sitting in a wheelchair, on the other hand, allows a few peaceful days. Getting to drink the special supply from Great Sage Liquor Industry for internal use only, even if I never stand up again in my life, it's worth it!"
"Dad, what are you talking about? As long as we try hard, you'll definitely be able to stand up," Yang Tao said.
Yang Lin's words were half self-consolation, half polite. By now, even doctors confird that the best outco in his life would be to remain in a wheelchair, what else could he hope for? He had no choice but to console himself; if given a choice between standing up and drinking Da Sheng Liquor, he would certainly choose full recovery.
But from the side, one can also discern the position of Great Sage Liquor Industry in the market.
"Alright, Abdulla, go through the trouble of taking these two jars of wine to that small cabin over there," Suming said to the young Lure man.
The wine in these jars was actually not the special internal vintage of Dasheng Liquor Factory at all. The factory indeed had its internal special vintage, also contained in large jars labeled with the word 'Monkey', and they looked exactly the sa from the outside, even the taste was almost like these two jars.
Almost, which ans 'there's a difference'.
These two jars of wine were specially concocted by Suming; in each jar, the content of Tai Sui water was doubled, and each jar had a small piece of Tai Sui flesh, the size of a little finger, added into it.
Park Jeong-ui had once said that the Firebird would be found with the elixir of immortality, and now it could be confird that the Firebird was the Three-legged Crested Ibis Xiaohong, and the so-called 'elixir of immortality' was Tai Sui.
As soon as it was confird that Tai Sui was the elixir of immortality and that the Crested Ibis had to eat Tai Sui to 'tamorphose' and develop, Suming specifically went to the market to buy Tai Sui. This substance was actually not uncommon in nature, and there were often reports of farrs finding Tai Sui by chance.
However, it seed that Xiaohong was only interested in Suming's Tai Sui, and had no reaction to other Tai Sui, even if they looked no worse in quality than the one from the small lake.
Of course, Xiaohong was still willing to eat them; apparently, this little critter had been scared of hunger since it was young and would never miss out on food. But the other Tai Sui did not have the miraculous effect of making Xiaohong grow into the Three-legged Firebird.
The Tai Sui from the bottom of the small lake was clearly different from the others; exactly what was special about it, Suming himself wasn't sure, and under the current circumstances, it was inconvenient to have it identified, and identification might not have yielded results anyway.
Taking advantage of the opportunity of Yang Lin getting hurt, Suming decided to let Yang Lin try a bit of it to see what effects it had. If it really was the elixir of immortality that could cure all diseases, it might actually enable Yang Lin to stand up again.
The worst result would be that it had no effect, but at least it wouldn't harm anyone if consud.
After delivering the wine to Yang Lin, Suming casually chatted with Yang Tao and his father for a few more sentences, then the conversation shifted to the main topic of the travel company. Old Yang Lin had worked in tourism all his life and was a hard worker. Although he couldn't move now, he was restless, and within the span of an entire afternoon, the three of them determined the main frawork, direction, and mode of developnt for the future travel company.
One important reason Suming was able to grow his business to where it was today, with multiple companies developing side by side without conflict, was that he never did the foolish thing of trying to take on everything himself. Each field has its specialization, and even if he were a god, he couldn't possibly handle all matters personally. As long as he could grasp the general direction and the issues of principle, he would hand over the actual operation to knowledgeable people.
Yang Tao stayed in the back mountain that night to drink with his father. Suming had been planning to join them, but just before dinner, he received two phone calls and had to hastily take his leave.
One call was from the inspection team of Disney Arica, made by Fairy Li Wanting. Disney's main filming work was almost done, and so mbers of the inspection team were preparing to return to their country.
The other call was personally made by Long Wu.
The annual blockbuster "The Legend of Deification" by Huaxia Star Company was wrapped up and ready to be released ahead of the National Day golden week, and they hoped Suming could help with so dostic distribution and promotion work.
