Chapter 104 Cola
Lin Yaren picked up the bottle of human heads in front of him and opened it, and then poured half a cup into Uncle Tang's empty cup with the gift of his juniors.
Then, he poured half a cup into his cup. Tang Weiwei sat on the other side of her father and drank Coca-Cola.
When Lin Yaren saw Coca-Cola, her mind was filled with memories. Even if it was just Coke, she could distinguish different identities of people to a certain extent.
Among the generation born in the 1980s in mainland China, the general favorite among children in big cities is Coca-Cola. Pepsi is the favorite among children in small cities.
As for children from rural backgrounds, they like cuteness: Wahaha’s very coke. Compared with Sprite, there are also very lemons that belong to Wahaha.
Some people have a fallacy that there is no difference between Coke, and it is not easy to distinguish if you taste it blindly. In fact, it is not the case, the difference is big.
Before Coca-Cola was improved, it had a scent of Chinese medicine, especially in the first sip, which was the most obvious when drinking it for two sips.
Pepsi has no special Chinese herbal flavor of Coca-Cola, but it is sweeter. The very Coke taste is much lighter.
Lin Yaren's previous life is a Sichuan native, and there is a Coke brand that people from this province once proud of, that is Tianfu Coke.
However, it was later completely damaged by Pepsi in the name of a joint venture. In the 1980s, Tianfu Cola Company was one of the eight largest beverage companies in China.
I vaguely remember that the glass bottled orange soda cost 20 cents, while Tianfu Coke costs 30 cents. And the bad taste soda produced in this city only costs 10 cents.
In fact, the taste of Tianfu Coke was no less than that of Pepsi Coke at that time, and it was once a state banquet beverage. The reason why it was forced to have joint ventures was that companies with small capital could not compete with companies with large capital.
Or, in order to learn from foreign advanced management experience, marketing..., unexpectedly, it was to attract wolves into the house and harm themselves.
In the 1980s, many commodities in mainland China had not only not bad quality, but also quite competitive.
Their last defeats were because they were not good at modern marketing methods on the one hand, and on the other hand, they were killed by large capital coming in from abroad.
Whether foreign large capitals are participating in joint ventures or buying them wholly, they are based on one principle and cannot kill you directly, then I will buy you and then kill you, thus forming a monopoly on the market.
Whether it is RB or South Korea, why are there chaebols? That is to resist the attacks of large foreign capital on domestic industries and products.
Others have a lot of capital, and a simple and direct price war with rough prices will not only destroy you with a high-quality brand product, but also destroy your entire industry.
"Why are you in a daze?" Tang Weiwei saw the bottle of wine in Lin Yaren's hand and said, "I'm not going down."
Lin Yaren came back to her senses and used a smile to cover up her embarrassment, "I was thinking that it was a waste of talent to drink such good wine from Uncle Tang.
I am a person who is a mountain pig who can’t eat fine bran. To be honest, I like to drink whiskey, but I really don’t like to drink brandy.”
"Yaren, are you scared in your heart? Aren't you just going to drink me down?" Uncle Tang said with a smile at him.
Lin Yaren put down the bottle in his hand, picked up the wine glass and looked at Uncle Tang, and said, "Uncle Tang, if you are drunk by me, don't remember my grudge."
"Boy, let you know tonight that ginger is still so spicy." Uncle Tang picked up the wine glass and said without showing any weakness.
The two of them clinked their glasses for a while, and each of them raised their heads and drank all the brandy in the glass into their stomachs.
Lin Yaren picked up the wine bottle again, poured half a cup for the other party first, and then poured half a cup into his empty cup.
"You're less. Don't be foolish." Uncle Tang pointed his right index finger at his cup.
Lin Yaren should respect the elderly, so he went to his cup more. Although he didn't understand brandy, in fact, it was not like what he said.
In fact, he knew very well that brandy was more expensive than whiskey under the same quality. Brandy was first expensive in terms of the raw materials for making wine. It was mainly used for grapes and other fruits.
Traditional brandy only uses grapes. The raw materials for whiskey are mainly grains. These include corn (American whiskey prefers to add), wheat, and barley...
Compared with fruits, grains are not only much cheaper, but also produce much larger. The rest is determined by the length of brewing time and technology.
Brandy can be used as the best product for more than fifty years, or even more than seventy years. In theory, it comes with a measure of how long the longer the wine is.
Whiskey is not good. The measurement of whiskey standards does not take a certain amount of time, but is determined by the changes in the ripening of the barrel.
Why do gourmets in whiskey prefer single-barrel or strong whiskey? It comes from the outstanding ones they like to produce.
Single malt whiskey does not refer to whiskey made from malt, but to whiskey produced by a single distillery.
In fact, single malt whiskey is also made up. After all, the whiskey in each barrel will vary greatly during the maturity process. Some run too far, while others are too good.
Therefore, if it is too good, it will naturally be sold at high prices by the winery in a single barrel or a forced filling method. If it runs too far, it will be mixed with others to form the unified flavor that the brand should have.
This is because consumers absolutely cannot accept it. It was originally the same whiskey brand, but it tasted n different flavors. The importance of distillers is self-evident.
There is a very sharp contrast between whiskey and Chinese liquor. The advantages of Chinese liquor are mainly raw pulp brewing and fermentation in the ground tank.
What makes Chinese liquor different from whiskey, brandy, etc. is that there is something called koji to ferment.
Lin Yaren put down the wine bottle, looked at Tang Weiwei again, and said with a smile: "If I really drink Uncle Tang down, don't blame me?"
Tang Weiwei rolled her eyes at him without hesitation, and said, "You can do it yourself."
"If you let me do it by myself, it will be difficult. Are you hinting that I deliberately lost to Uncle Tang?" Lin Yaren said with a grin.
