Chapter 20

PS: Here's the second update! I'm shamelessly asking for favorites and recommendations! Thank you all for your support!

Xiao Wu didn't understand how important connections and background were in doing business in China, but Yang Jie, who studied economics, understood this simple and clear truth. Jimmy's status as a foreign businessman could shield the winery from countless overt and covert attacks, serving as a solid and reliable umbrella for the winery's growth.

Yang Jie thought very far ahead, always preparing for the future and anticipating problems before they arose. This was his style of doing things: if he was going to do something, he would do it to the best of his ability and try to ensure there were no mistakes.

Yang Jie had seen the effects of the hangover cure with his own eyes, and he had absolute trust in Xiao Wu's abilities. When Xiao Wu said she had a large number of functional wine recipes, it was certainly not an exaggeration. How to turn these functional wines into products, make a huge profit, and protect that profit was what Yang Jie was currently considering.

"Brother Jie, if you need a foreign businessman's identity as a cover, then just give Xiao Wu a phone line. Once I connect to the internet, I can get it done for you in less than a day. As for the funds, give me a month, and I can raise enough capital for the winery's development.

Do we really need Jimmy to invest? Every time I think about our profits being split with that foreigner, it feels like a piece of my heart is being torn out." Xiao Wu looked pitiful, her bright big eyes blinking as she gazed at Yang Jie with a resentful look.

"Alright! I don't doubt your abilities, but you must understand the meaning of 'giving to gain.' You have to give to get. Jimmy's status and background are far from those of an ordinary Westerner. Besides, I think he's worth befriending. Even if he makes a fortune by riding on your success, isn't the biggest share still ours?

Moreover, once we have a shared interest, we can handle many things abroad through him. He has extensive business connections in various countries, which we can't match in the short term. For the long-term benefit, don't be so stingy!" Yang Jie knew that Xiao Wu was an intelligent work and life assistance system, and her existence was to help him work and live better.

Therefore, she first considered Yang Jie's interests, which was why she didn't want Jimmy to take away the profits that should belong to Yang Jie. Knowing this, Yang Jie patiently explained and consoled her.

"Alright! I understand!"

Xiao Wu wasn't stupid; on the contrary, she was very smart. This wasn't an era of extremely developed internet or service industries. Not everything could be done through the internet; some things required personal involvement. Therefore, having Jimmy, a well-connected businessman, help abroad would only benefit Yang Jie.

"It's good that you understand. To tie Jimmy to our chariot, we need something impressive. Have you thought about which functional wines to produce?"

"I've already thought about it. In the future, functional wines are generally called functional beverages and fall under the category of health and wellness. Common functional wines include aphrodisiac wine, blood pressure-lowering wine, dehumidifying wine, health wine, slimming wine, and body-strengthening wine. There are also dozens or even hundreds of other types of functional wines with different functions, but they have a smaller market and higher production costs, so I won't go into detail about them.

The first functional wines we can develop can be aphrodisiac wine and blood pressure-lowering wine. These two wines have the highest sales among all functional wines, even higher than slimming wine. Since their development over a hundred years ago, they have undergone nearly twenty formula upgrades, making them our top choice for developing functional wines." Xiao Wu directly played a video about functional wines in Yang Jie's mind, showing a wide variety of functional wines with novel packaging, which greatly broadened Yang Jie's horizons.

After the video ended, Yang Jie excitedly asked Xiao Wu, "Why can you now play movies in my mind? It's like I'm seeing it with my own eyes, it's amazing!"

Xiao Wu covered her mouth and smiled, giving Yang Jie a flirtatious glance, and said, "The system's bioenergy was insufficient before, so it couldn't copy the system's internal data to your brain's memory cells. Today, you drank more than twenty bottles of wine, providing the system with two-thousandths of the bioenergy it needed. That's why I can now copy this video to your memory cells, allowing you to watch it through recall.

In the future, if the system has enough energy, you can freely use the system's internal data without my mediation. For example, if you want to learn a foreign language, I can directly copy the language data to your brain's memory cells, and you'll be able to use that language fluently in a short time."

Hearing this, Yang Jie was extremely excited. If Xiao Wu had enough energy, he could become the most knowledgeable person in the world and the fastest learner.

Seeing Yang Jie's eyes shining and his heart racing, Xiao Wu regretfully shrugged, "However, the system requires a lot of energy, far more than what you can provide by drinking. Therefore, the top priority is to develop an energy solution to ensure the system can operate normally."

"Then let's get started! Just tell me what you need." Yang Jie, feeling a bucket of cold water poured over his head, couldn't help but shout out of anxiety.

"Shh! Keep your voice down. Do you want to attract the guests next door?" Xiao Wu, seeing Yang Jie's excitement, made a gesture to silence him. "Developing the energy solution is very complex and requires a significant amount of funds, which can't be done in a day or two. Let's first handle the winery's affairs. Once the functional wines are officially launched, we'll have the funds and strength to develop the energy solution."

"Does that mean I have to drink every day to provide you with bioenergy?" Yang Jie laughed bitterly, frowning unwillingly, as no one wants to be mistaken for an alcoholic.

"Isn't Jimmy still in Wuhexian County? With him as a shield, even if you drink a lot, no one will say anything. Instead, they'll think you're risking your life to attract investment by drinking with Jimmy. Just relax!" After consoling Yang Jie, Xiao Wu began to explain the aphrodisiac wine and blood pressure-lowering wine in detail.

Aphrodisiac wine and blood pressure-lowering wine, as their names suggest, have aphrodisiac and blood pressure-lowering effects. With the development of urbanization and the acceleration of life, the increasing pressure on ordinary people has led to widespread erectile dysfunction and high blood pressure worldwide.

Traditional Viagra and other aphrodisiac drugs, as well as conventional blood pressure medications, have gradually lost their effectiveness. That's why aphrodisiac wine and blood pressure-lowering wine were developed, allowing people to relieve stress and achieve aphrodisiac and blood pressure-lowering effects through drinking.

Yang Jie knew that there were aphrodisiac wines like tiger penis wine and deer penis wine in ancient times, so aphrodisiac wines weren't surprising. However, he was very interested in blood pressure-lowering wine, as hypertension caused by cardiovascular diseases affects hundreds of millions of people worldwide. How drinking could lower blood pressure was indeed a curiosity for Yang Jie.

Hearing Yang Jie's question, Xiao Wu smiled and explained, "Alcohol can promote blood vessel dilation and increase heart rate. Hypertension is often caused by hardened and blocked blood vessels. Therefore, a small and appropriate amount of alcohol can be beneficial for lowering blood pressure. I believe many doctors know this."

Hearing Xiao Wu's explanation, Yang Jie finally understood. Alcohol is quickly absorbed by the body and enters the liver and bloodstream. If the alcohol contains medication, it can quickly act on the affected areas, effectively treating certain specific diseases.

Aphrodisiac wine and blood pressure-lowering wine each have their own characteristics. After more than a hundred years of development and improvement, they have proven to be reliable and practical. What most excited Yang Jie was that the formulas for these two wines were not too complex and the costs were relatively low.

"The reason I chose these two wines first is that they have a broad market. They have been continuously developed and improved over a hundred years, reaching near-perfection and proven by the market to ensure their stability and reliability.

Moreover, although their formulas are not complex, they are very difficult to replicate without knowing the key components. With the technology of this era, it would be impossible to crack the first-generation products within twenty years, let alone replicate and produce them." After introducing the specific details of the two wines, Xiao Wu proudly explained her reasons for choosing them.

I recommend two urban novels: "Rebirth of Immortal Desire" and "Urban Ancient Witch." There are direct links on the page for "The Best Official Journey." I hope you enjoy them!
