Rebirth of Eagle Sauce, from drug trafficking to the man behind the White House

Colbert also pretended to have a few drinks with Jesses, indicating that the 18th Street Block would not interfere with the Mafia's drug trafficking matters, and both parties were happy.

After Aum was shot, the power structure within Block 18 changed suddenly.

Everyone had a premonition that there would be a hurricane on the West Coast, and even the Los Angeles police were prepared for a fierce battle.

But what is surprising is that the Los Angeles underground world is not in chaos. Under the supervision of the new boss Simon, the security environment in Latino-controlled territories has even improved a lot.

Of course, there are also people who are dissatisfied with the discipline of the new boss. Simon also leads people to clean up the house and stabilize the situation.

In one week, Block 18 has changed, but overall, it seems to have stayed the same.

Chen Chen is behind all the confusing events. Everything is related to him, but everything has nothing to do with him.

A new character has appeared in the underground world of San Francisco and Los Angeles!

……

A large truck pulled a container into the base and stopped in an open space. Then a few people got up and opened the door, and a smoky smell suddenly hit their faces.

I saw circles and circles of foam wrapped around the cargo box, mixed with various wine bottles, and the remaining liquid in some wine bottles had begun to mold.

The sour smell of fermentation has been accumulating in the cargo box for who knows how long. Now that it was opened all at once, it almost made people stun.

After having gang manpower, Chen Chen's most important thing is to find profitable industries. He can't let everyone go hungry, right?

The lucrative business he is currently exposed to is bootlegging. Ding Qing found a way to transport a batch of high-end wine bottles back from Europe. Even the anti-counterfeiting labels are exactly the same.

Ding Qing took out the wine bottle and showed it in front of Chen Chen:

"Boss, this wine bottle only costs tens of cents. To be honest, the shipping cost is more expensive than this batch of wine bottles. If it contains wine, we will be rich."

Chen Chen glanced at him sideways,"That's a nice idea, but I wouldn't be worried if it were packed with wine. By the way, where did you get this bottle? It smells so bad. Ding

Qing scratched his head,"Isn't this to keep everything simple? It takes several months to customize a wine bottle from the original factory, and the price will be slightly higher. Recycling wine bottles is not only cheaper, but also saves a lot of time. Take a look. , what is the difference after washing? In fact, those wineries also use recycled wine bottles for secondary filling.……"

"Okay, your method really saves trouble. Now find some wine bottles and wash them out. I'll use them."

Chen Chen took a look at the wine bottles in the cargo box. There should be more than 5,000 wine bottles here. According to the conventional calculation of 6 bottles in a box, it is almost more than 830 boxes. After sorting several boxes of empty wine bottles, Chen Chen thought of contacting the local Cooperation with wineries.

There are quite a few wine merchants in California. Song Jiamo found a relatively large winery and then talked with them about cooperation.

The other party readily agreed and invited Chen Chen to come to Napa Grape Stroll around the park.

Napa Valley is located in north-central California, an hour's drive north of San Francisco. It is one of the best wine-producing areas in the beautiful country.

Traveling along Highway 29, you will see hills of various sizes and shapes along the way. , castle-style, cave-style, wineries of different styles are located in the countryside, making people feel like they have returned to the last century.

Arriving at a castle-style manor, Chen Chen met two middle-aged people, and it was inevitable to shake hands and say hello.

"Thank you to the Gallo family for the kind invitation. My name is Chen Chen and I would like to talk to you about the winery business."

Chen Chen also didn't expect that Song Jiamo was looking for the Gallo family, which would become famous in the wine industry in the future. In

1933, brothers Ernest and Julio Gallo founded a winery in Modesto and produced 11 bottles of wine in the first year. Thousands of gallons of wine.

Half a century later, the Gallo family will grow into the world's largest wine giant in terms of sales.

"Chen, I am Ernest Gallo, and this is my brother Giulio Gallo. I heard that you are going to purchase a large amount of wine from our winery. How do you like the taste of this wine?"

Ernest is bald. Although he is a grape farmer, his eyes look quite shrewd.

While chatting with Chen Chen with a smile, he opened several bottles of wine and poured half a glass for Chen Chen and Song Jiamo. The manor was suddenly filled with aroma.

Chen Chen nodded and expressed his gratitude, then shook the goblet a few times and took a slight sip.

The taste... didn't seem to be as bad as he thought, and it was completely acceptable..

Chen Chen gave Song Jiamo a look, and the other party also took a sip of wine. A look of affirmation flashed in his eyes, which meant that he should be able to fool the silly dogs in the bar. Seeing this look, Chen Chen felt something in his heart. When he was done, he crossed his legs and placed the wine glass on the table:

"Mr. Ernest, thank you for your hospitality. Your wine seems to be different from the ones on the market. With all due respect, most wines in California can only be paired with grilled fish, while European wines can be paired with caviar. Yes, the wine I drank in Guizhuang is completely different.……"

Chen Chen praised that the quality of wine can be good or bad, and even dogs wouldn’t drink that kind of cheap wine.

The two brothers laughed heartily after hearing this, and Ernest said:"Chen. This is really the best compliment I have ever heard. You are a very real wine taster. In fact, our family is all Italian. Grapes, my brother sells grapes. We have been in the wine business for more than 30 years since 1933. I have some experience.……"

Everyone knows that the wine business is hugely profitable. After all, there are a lot of alcoholics in the beautiful country, and the consumption of this stuff is terrible. In the future, there will be three major wine families in the beautiful country, one is the Gallo family that specializes in the wine business; the other two are the Brown family that specializes in the spirits business. family; and the Bush family, who were in the beer business.

The assets of these families all exceed more than 10 billion U.S. dollars, and they are among the top 25 in the Forbes list.

Of course, these families have not officially emerged yet, and their scale is relatively small. Even the Gallo family has not yet become the number one wine merchant in the country, let alone the number one in the world.
