The two sides did not hold a meeting as soon as they came up. Under Lee Kwang-soo's personal leadership, Ishihara Masao and his party not only visited the headquarters of the South Korean Jinlu Group, but also visited a production plant area of ​​Jinlu Soup.

Although Ishihara Masao personally doesn’t like the category of shochu, it feels like Erguotou mixed with water, but Koreans have a special liking for it.

As for the Japanese, they still like Japanese souvenirs, which is one of the must-orders for Japanese izakayas. However, Japanese souvenirs and Korean souvenirs are different in choosing the main raw materials.

Masao Ishihara knew very well that with the current strength of Karuizawa Group, he could not afford the Korean Maru Group at all. However, it did not hinder his idea of ​​the category of soju.

His plan was still to buy the Karuizawa Sauce House, the ancestor of the Ishihara family, so that he could vigorously promote this Japanese souvenir brand.

I have no intention of developing Karuizawa shochu into a mid-to-high-end wine. Moreover, no matter how it is done, shochu is difficult to become a mid-to-high-end wine. It is a very popular wine.

Masao Ishihara's positioning for Karuizawa shochu is to first occupy the low-end market in Japan, and then set sail to go to convenience stores and supermarkets in foreign countries.

His ideal structure is that the wine list of all Japanese izakayas is monopolized by all the wines of the market. First, Asahi Beer of Asahi Group.

Second, the horn bottle whiskey or Jinbin whiskey made by Suntory Group. Third, the karuizawa souvenir from Karuizawa Group and the karuizawa souvenir from Karuizawa.

As noon approached, Jinlu Group naturally arranged a high-end business invitation. The convoy of personnel from both sides went to a large Korean-style courtyard hidden in the city.

Masao Ishihara understood that this is not only a place for high-end dining, but also a place for privately granted by rich Koreans and powerful people.

In South Korea, people who can enter and exit this kind of place are all well-known, have status, and have status. Not to mention that ordinary citizens cannot enter, even the middle class cannot enter.

At this time, the most shocking person was Park Yilin. She had seen such a place in Korean film and television dramas, but she had never stepped into it once.

She was just a small person and was not qualified to appear in a place where big people were looking for fun. In just less than two days, her mentality underwent earth-shaking changes.

What Park Yilin believed in in the past, such as equality between people, had long been gone. She suddenly realized that no wonder there were so many people who had followed each other, especially the beautiful girls who were trying their best to climb upwards. It was not unreasonable.

Even beautiful girls who are considered smart can't withstand all this, let alone those beautiful girls who are not smart.

It is really normal for them to fall one by one. If they were not fallen, the only explanation was that they had a good background, which would have been commonplace for a long time.

Masao Ishihara of Karuizawa Group and his group and Lee Kwang-soo of Maru Group were able to sit face to face in front of a large rectangular table.

There were a lot of exquisitely crafted Korean dishes, big and small, prepared on the table. The dishes contained there naturally would not be various types of kimchi that ordinary Koreans ate.

As a valuable gift, Korean beef that can be used to give to others is of no less. Not only are there roast Korean beef, but also Korean beef sashimi and Korean beef tongue sashimi... As long as ordinary people cannot think of how to eat it, there are no tricks that chefs cannot make.

"I have heard that President Ishihara likes to drink whiskey the most. I have prepared a wine from the Scottish Highlands region in the UK for you." Lee Kwang-soo said with a smile.

A young and beautiful female secretary sitting next to him took out two bottles one by one from the paper bag placed next to him and placed them on the table.

Masao Ishihara understood at a glance: "This is a single malt whiskey from Lake Roman for 30 years. Although it is not very famous, it has a considerable status in the minds of some whiskey lovers.

This distillery was founded in 1814, and the single malt whiskey from Lake Roman for 30 years is definitely its core product.

Not only that, the difference between the 30-year single malt whiskey in Lake Roman Lake is that it is matured in American oak barrels, and half of the wine has passed through the Euroso Sherry barrels.

The alcohol content of Scotch whiskey is generally bottling at 40 degrees, while the Roman Lake series is bottling at 46 degrees. However, the 30-year single malt whiskey bottle is 47 degrees."

Lee Kwang-soo raised his hands and patted him lightly: "All right, President Ishihara is indeed a real whiskey lover. To be honest, I am also a loyal fan of the single malt whiskey in Lake Roman."

"It's a pity that I didn't bring us the single malt whiskey produced by Karuizawa Whiskey Distilleries today. Tomorrow, I'll give you two bottles of our Karuizawa 21-year single whiskey.

This is the core product produced by our Karuizawa Whiskey Distillery. How do you try it?" Masao Ishihara said in the attitude of making friends with a drink.

"That's really thank you. I've still drunk your Karuizawa whiskey series. Whether it's the entry-level Karuizawa 10-year single malt whiskey or the core product Karuizawa 25-year single malt whiskey, they are all very good, and they are definitely no.1 among Japanese whiskeys.

Even if you compare similar products with many famous brands among Scotch whiskey, you can still be compared." Lee Kwang-soo was not just a polite statement.

Masao Ishihara understands that today's meeting is at most a test of each other. It will only involve the content of the real business talks between the two parties tomorrow.

While Lee Kwang-soo signaled his beautiful female secretary to open the wine and pour it on each of them, he asked in a targeted manner: "President Ishihara is also from a Japanese wine-making family. What do you think of the Korean wine market?"

"The Korean alcohol market has unlimited potential. It is well known that Koreans love to drink. Whether it is soju, beer, rice wine, whiskey, brandy, red wine... as long as it is wine, they love to drink it.

It is not entirely true that Russians love to drink the most. In my opinion, Koreans love to drink more than Russians. As a wine merchant, I like to deal with people who love to drink the most.”
