The cost of 580 milliliters of beer on the market wouldn't exceed one dollar.
So, according to Denver's high pricing, the profit would be very high.
If Chen Zhao didn't take any profits this year and continued to invest in production, he could get rid of the tax.
Of course, this was calculated based on the best sales.
Because Dashan Beer was new and only available in Mara Supermarkets this year, it couldn't be sold out in a short time.
Chen Zhao had to see how the first batch sold.
Chen Zhao still needed to borrow money and invest in advertisements.
No matter how good Dashan Beer tasted, it would be hard to enter the market in a short time without enough advertising.
If he let word of mouth grow, it would take at least two to three years to see results.
Chen Zhao didn't have that much money to sustain losses for two to three years.
By then, he would have to borrow from the bank.
Beer had always been a high-profit industry. Chen Zhao's brewery's current production was less than one-tenth of those big brands.
For example, Budweiser, which had the highest sales in the world, was also the most famous beer brand in the world.
Its annual sales were 2.5 billion liters, and its revenue was over 50 billion dollars. Its net profit was close to eight billion dollars.
Compared to such a big international brand, Dashan Beer was like a baby.
On the first day of June, Dashan Beer was officially available in Mara Supermarkets. The advertisements also started.
But Chen Zhao's mind was all on Fali.
There was less than a month until her due date.
Chen Zhao didn't go out at all. Even when Steven and Rasfa asked him to go out for a drink, he refused.
…
Brazil's southwestern city, Nilmara, was at the edge of the Amazon rainforest. One-third of the city was connected to the rainforest. Further in was the town of New Bali.
New Bali had a population of less than ten thousand. Its main industry was tourism.
Many of the people there were working as guides, mainly to lead the way for people entering the Amazon rainforest.
However, most of the locals would only bring the tourists in for less than ten kilometers before bringing them out.
Beyond ten kilometers, even the locals couldn't guarantee the tourists' safety.
They knew the dangers of the rainforest better than outsiders.
It was the most dangerous place in the world.
Without a guide, ordinary tourists would lose their lives in minutes when they entered the tropical rainforest.
This was definitely not a joke. Ten kilometers was because many people walked. This area was basically half-open, so the danger was basically eliminated.
However, no one could guarantee their safety if they went any deeper, unless they cut down all the trees.
Apart from tourists, there were also explorers, scientists, and mercenaries in the new Bali Town.
Here, one could see all kinds of people walking on the streets.
The natives were also asking the strangers if they needed a guide.
When Klaus and the members of the Lightning Squad arrived at New Bali Town, they all felt extremely tired.
The temperature here was maintained at 35 degrees Celsius during the day. It was fine if it was just hot.
Most importantly, the humidity was as high as 90%, and this was in the town.
Once they entered the rainforest, the humidity would directly exceed 99%.
What did that mean? Basically, if you stood in the rainforest for a minute, your face would be covered in water.
Furthermore, he couldn't wear short-sleeved shirts and shorts. If he wore short-sleeved shirts and shorts, it was basically no different from committing suicide.
"Klaus, where are your friends?"
"Let's look for it. Female, 1.82 meters tall, it should be very obvious."
"Over there …" The members of the lightning squad had sharp eyes and quickly found the person Klaus was talking about.
"Qiao Xike." Klaus waved at the woman.
"Klaus." Qiao Xike happily ran forward and gave Klaus a passionate hug.
Qiao Xike had the common characteristics of Latin American beauties, but she wasn't as petite as the Latin beauties. Her physique and bones were both large, and she was about the same height and physique as Klaus.
"My god … your hand strength has increased again," Klaus teased.
Actually, Qiao Xike's strength wasn't enough to make Klaus feel uncomfortable.
"These are?" Qiao Xike turned to look at the members of the lightning squad.
"They are my brothers," Klaus said. "Let's go, let's find a place to sit."
After finding a place to sit, the lightning squad and Qiao Xike began to get to know each other.
Qiao Xike joined the army at the same time as Klaus. In comparison, Klaus and the lightning squad met later.
They were originally part of the border force, and were mainly responsible for overseas missions and border battles.
But later, Klaus was transferred to the Marine Corps and even went to a real battlefield. After that, he entered the elite team of the anti-terrorism security department and became the leader of the lightning squad.
After Qiao Xike and a few familiar comrades retired from the army, they became mercenaries again.
All these years, Klaus had always kept in touch with Qiao Xike and the others, so their relationship hadn't faded.
This time, when his old comrades were in trouble, the first person Qiao Xike asked for help was Klaus.
Klaus didn't let him down. He came at the first moment and even brought the lightning squad with him.
It was obvious that Klaus was a person who valued relationships.
"Qiao Xike, tell us the details."
"Ten days ago, we received a mission to protect an exploration team into the tropical rainforest. The specific destination was the Shikel region of the Amazon rainforest."
"Why didn't you go in?" Klaus asked.
"I got dysentery," Qiao Xike said helplessly.
It was the most common disease in the tropical rainforest or at the border. If it wasn't treated in time, it would be very dangerous, even life-threatening. "So I was hospitalized and missed the mission.
"That's why I ended up in the hospital and missed the mission. After that, I became responsible for external communications. When the team entered Silas' territory, which was five days ago, I received a distress message from the team. The one who contacted me was Kamalari. They seemed to have been attacked by the natives. Among them, Dorin, Barker, and Larrivison were already dead. Now, there are only four of them left, and they are trapped somewhere. In the three days before you arrived, Kamalari contacted me many times. However, because the batteries they brought with them were running low, we agreed to contact each other at six o 'clock in the evening every day. We completely lost contact the day before yesterday."
"Are you sure they are still alive?" Klaus asked.
This was a crucial question. If they were still alive, then the risk was worth it.
If they were dead, then the risk was worthless.
After all, even if they found them, they might not even find a complete corpse.
Klaus had to think about the people who were still alive.
"There's an 80% chance that they're still alive. In our last contact, Kamalari explained the situation. They seem to be trapped in an ancient building, but he couldn't tell us the exact location. They've brought with them a complete set of equipment, fresh water, medicine, and compressed food. Based on my estimation, if we exclude external environmental factors, they can hold on for at least six days."
Klaus didn't hesitate. An eighty percent chance of survival was high enough.
