Chapter 1182: Chapter 1179: A New Mission Arrives, Helping the Royal Family
"Among the top ten countries importing wine into Daxia, your wine’s unit price is the lowest!" Luofeng said.
After all, Spanish red wine classification is quite complex, which slightly hinders its popularity.
The wine classification in France is much simpler, with four levels from top to bottom, clear and straightforward.
Why is having more classifications a problem?
Because the import-export trade companies in Daxia take advantage of the complexity to cheat and use inferior products.
Such tricky operations have caused significant harm.
Luofeng explained the situation of Daxia’s wine market in detail to them.
The King also sighed and said, "No wonder our Spanish wine has lower competitiveness in your Daxia; is this why?"
The Queen also sighed, "These deceitful merchants have really harmed us! They’ve ruined our wine’s reputation!"
Luofeng casually asked, "Haven’t your officials noticed these issues with your wine companies?"
This question was rather incisive.
Of course, Spain knows about the deceitful practices in Daxia, but what can they do?
They fundamentally don’t worry about sales, right?
"What does His Majesty the King think of Australian wine?" Luofeng inquired.
Before the counterpart could respond, Luofeng continued, "Last year, we imported 62 million liters from there, priced around 2.5 billion, though the volume is only twice that of Spain, the price is about five times higher!"
The King sighed, "The quality of wine from Australia is indeed good; their climate is quite favorable, unlike ours, where climate issues affect production! They do have a natural advantage!"
European wines emphasize the vintage year, but Australia is different with their very stable climate.
So, their quality remains very stable.
The wine industry has developed rapidly.
Luofeng smiled and asked, "Then, Your Majesty, what advantages does your wine have compared to Australian wine?"
This question was simply challenging.
Because their wine essentially has no advantages against Australian wine.
Take import prices, for instance; Spanish wine is less than 14 yuan per liter, whereas Australian wine is 41 yuan per liter.
Tripling the price.
As the King said, Australia’s climate, temperature, and transportation costs are issues.
Shipping from Spain to domestic markets requires 10,000 kilometers overland and 15,000 kilometers by sea.
Whereas getting to Daxia from Australia is much simpler, with sea transport not exceeding 5,000 kilometers, a huge advantage.
Therefore, regardless of quality or transportation costs, their wine holds no advantage over Australian wine.
The Queen also pondered the issue, hoping for a collaboration with Luofeng to garner a considerable wine order and elevate the Royal Family’s status.
Of course, as mentioned earlier, Spanish wine doesn’t worry about sales.
But then?
Despite not worrying about sales, you can’t let the market in Daxia slip away to other competitors, right?
If sales in other areas suddenly decline in Spain, wouldn’t Daxia need supplementation?
However, if you previously had no foundation, suddenly intruding would be quite troublesome.
This is why prices are very cheap when selling products somewhere, not that others are foolish, but due to various reasons.
Simply put, it’s about earning less to prevent competitors from gaining an advantage, and having a foundation makes future market expansion more convenient.
Currently, the Spanish Royal Family, due to the situation with the former king’s greed, is being criticized by the public; to restore this terrible image, the Queen truly hopes this collaboration succeeds.
However, when the King and Queen remained silent, the little princess interjected.
"Our Spanish wine has a much richer historical foundation than Australian wine!" The little princess said in Chinese.
"Mr. Luo, how did you find the Begaxixi I gave you before?" the little princess asked, "That bottle of wine was purchased using my scholarship, not from Dad and Mom!"
Luofeng was a bit surprised; he initially thought it was a gift from the Queen to maintain relations?
"Thank you!" Luofeng first expressed gratitude, then said, "That bottle of wine was indeed good!"
In reality, that bottle of red wine was mixed with Sprite by Luofeng.
"That’s the best product from our Begaxixi Winery! If exported to Daxia, do you think it will sell well?" Leonore asked.
Luofeng pondered, "It should be possible, but Begaxixi Winery’s wine is very rare in Daxia, with low popularity; substantial initial investments are needed!"
Leonore said, "You mentioned earlier that some merchants confused Spanish and French wine classifications; we can promote our wine classification in Daxia, making it difficult for deceitful merchants to deceive the public!"
Luofeng nodded, "That’s a good idea!"
The little princess said, "But the only problem is that we are too far from Daxia, with issues in transportation."
Luofeng nodded, "Yes, if transporting through the Daxia to Europe railway, it will be more convenient!"
Even so, the freight charges would still be higher than importing from Australia.
"Mr. Luo, can you help us promote wine in Daxia?" Leonore said.
"Do you want me to help you?" Luofeng instead asked.
[Ding! Random Task: Revival of Spanish Red Wine! Task Content: To counter Australian wine, please assist in reviving Spanish wine!]
[Reward: Calculated comprehensively based on the host’s assistance completion!]
There’s a task?
Luofeng felt secretly astonished!
This trip to Spain for discussing wine import was actually a special task, due to competition for chance, and coincidentally also a favor for the Spanish Royal Family to improve relations.
Luofeng quite liked Leonore, the young lady.
So he was willing to give them this favor.
But now, a new mission appeared?
Thus, Luofeng felt he profited....
This is simply an outcome benefiting three parties.
Facing Luofeng’s inquiry, Leonore said, "I hope for Mr. Luo’s assistance!"
Hearing the little princess’s honesty, Luofeng said, "No problem!"
The King and Queen were surprised, Luofeng agreed so readily?
Moreover, what kind of character is Luofeng?
Even if he made a promise to a child, it wouldn’t be broken.
"Thank you!" The little princess said happily.
The Queen followed up on Luofeng’s topic, "How much red wine does Mr. Luo plan to import?"
Luofeng didn’t answer, but switched to another topic...
