Capitalists, of course, pursued profit.
It was the same for Winnip.
They used Daydream as the theme to attract tourists.
Even Alton didn't have the right. He had to get Winnip's approval.
Second was the exhibition. Daydream had to be loaned out even more.
Without Winnip's approval, Alton couldn't do anything.
But now, Daydream's name was not only in the United States, but also internationally.
After all, it was personally praised by the great director, Steven.
Daydream was also very famous now.
With Steven's help and the fame of the sky-high price wine, it was hard not to be famous.
It was hard not to be famous.
Alton had also noticed this point. During this period of time, Alton had also noticed this point.
During this time, the number of tourists in Sacramento had increased by 1400%. This was a very obvious sign.
Of course, it was mainly because there weren't many tourists in Sacramento to begin with.
The base was too small, so the sudden increase of tourists by 1400% didn't change much.
As the mayor of Sacramento, Alton had to show some results if he wanted to be re-elected.
But Sacramento had always been in an awkward position culturally, politically, and economically.
Its culture wasn't as good as Hollywood in Los Angeles, and its economy was several times worse than San Francisco and Los Angeles.
And politically, although it was the capital of California, most people didn't know. Everyone even thought that San Francisco was the capital of California.
This was very awkward. The city government had always wanted to show Sacramento's position.
But the effect was very poor. There was no effect at all.
It was different now. Sacramento actually had a famous sky-high price wine.
So, Alton wanted to use this sky-high price wine to show Sacramento's position.
But this required Winnip's cooperation and help.
Otherwise, this plan would just be empty talk.
"From now on, all tourists who come to Sacramento will know about Mara Supermarket." Of course, Alton didn't just come with a glib tongue. This time, he came with a detailed plan. "There will also be obvious signs so that tourists who want to shop will choose Mara Supermarket as their first choice."
Winnip glanced at Alton. It was indeed a good condition.
But this wasn't enough. Winnip said firmly, "Mara Supermarket plans to open a third branch in Sacramento. I want the empty space at White Coral Street."
Since the old building had just been demolished, the vacant land in White Coral Street was still in the hands of the government.
However, a few rich people and real estate developers had already set their sights on that piece of land.
Winnip wasn't poor, but she wasn't as rich as a real estate developer.
Therefore, if they wanted to fight for that piece of land, they could only get the support of the city government.
"That's not for me to decide. That piece of land is going to be auctioned."
Although Alton was the mayor, he was not a tyrant who could give the land to whoever he wanted.
"But if you can provide me with an evaluation report, I might be able to do something about it," Altus said.
The so-called politics was about constant compromises in exchange for benefits.
Normally, if the government owned a piece of land, the highest bidder would get it.
However, if another enterprise or company could create more jobs, pay more taxes, or significantly help the local area or the entire city, then the city government could sell the land to the other party at a low price.
"How confident are you?"
"Sixty percent … no, seventy percent," Alton said.
"Let me think about it," Winnip said.
Actually, she also wanted to discuss with Chen Zhao. Daydream wasn't actually her personal property.
According to their initial verbal agreement, Daydream would be lent to Winnip.
Winnip would use it to increase the supermarket's reputation and customer flow.
Chen Zhao would try his luck to see if anyone was willing to buy the wine.
Now that Winnip wanted to use it as a city symbol, it would definitely exceed the scope of their initial agreement.
Therefore, Winnip had to discuss it with Chen Zhao.
…
"Hey, Chen, are you busy?" Winnip called Chen Zhao.
"Yes, I'm busy. What's up?"
At the moment, Chen Zhao was lying on the internal alchemy, slacking off.
He'd planned to cultivate for a while, but after less than half an hour, he started to slack off again.
"I have a plan."
"Oh, what plan?"
"Recently, there's been an obvious increase in tourists in Sacramento. Most of them are here for Daydream, so I want to make Daydream an even more famous and well-known brand."
"Isn't Daydream famous enough now?"
"Daydream does have a lot of fame now, but it's not enough, far from enough … Daydream is only popular now. Once it's over, it'll be much less famous."
"Then what should we do?"
"If Daydream is connected to Sacramento, it'll be like the Leaning Tower of Pisa in Italy, the pyramids in Egypt, or the Statue of Liberty in New York."
"Daydream is just a wine. It's a consumable. Can it bear such a big reputation? If someone buys it, how can it bear the reputation? "
"If someone buys one bottle, put another one on it," Winnip said.
"Also, the more famous it is, the more potential buyers there will be."
"Okay, if you think this plan works, then I'll listen to you. It's not bad for me anyway."
Chen Zhao's ultimate goal was to make money.
If he could achieve a win-win situation while making money.
He didn't mind letting Winnip benefit too.
…
"Daydream." Mattila's eyes lit up as he watched the news on the TV. He looked at the sky-high wine that the security guards were staring at.
Mattila was the richest man in Sacramento. Everything he enjoyed was the best, including wine.
But now, there was actually a bottle of wine in this city that he couldn't get.
A hundred million dollars for Daydream was also a sky-high price that he couldn't afford.
But this didn't mean that he'd give up. In his early years, he'd made his fortune by smuggling firearms.
Therefore, he had connections with some international armed forces.
The price of hiring an international mercenary group was only a few million US dollars.
If he could get the wine for a few million, why would he pay a hundred million?
He was a capitalist. His principle had always been to get the most benefit with the least cost.
