Chapter 110 Methods

"And, Your Highness, our Philip Pharmaceuticals (mainly in memory of Dr. Philip's contribution, therefore named after it), is now a listed company, and a considerable portion of our stock is circulating on the stock exchange, and we are responsible for all shareholders," Nina emphasized to everyone.

"Your Highness, as you said, using grapes to make alcohol, such obvious losses, once it is leaked, it is known that our Philip Pharmaceutical Company will cause a storm soon."

At this time, Constantine reacted and patted her head, forgetting that Philip Pharmaceuticals is already a listed company. In order to win over more interests, in addition to allowing Greek capital to invest, Constantine also specifically reminded Nina to sell 10 shares on the Athens Stock Exchange.

Although the Greek royal family still owns a considerable portion of the shares and is the major shareholder of Philip Pharmaceuticals, such things that obviously harm the interests of the company will undoubtedly be questioned by other shareholders.

Nina looked at the people in the office who were frowning about the overproduction of grapes and suggested: "Although our Philip Pharmaceuticals cannot help you, I personally have an idea."

When everyone heard such words, their eyes instantly focused on Nina.

"You also know that Greece's shipping industry is well developed, why don't you think about it?" Nina looked at everyone and said.

"Nina, this shipping industry and wine have..."

Before Constantine could ask questions, Tricuspis, who suddenly realized, was excited and said, "Hey, yes, does the shipping industry need a lot of wine?"

"Ms. Nina means that those seafarers who drift on the sea live on the sea all year round and need to consume a lot of wine on weekdays."

After Tricuspis' reminder, Constantine also woke up.

In this era, navies from various countries, sailors on cargo ships, and wine were popular and common drinks.

Like the rum that is popular among crew members.

People’s traditional impression of pirates is that they are always indifferent to rum bottles.

There are two reasons why this happens.

First, wine does not deteriorate easily. Since ships need to sail on the vast sea for many years, the fresh water contained in wooden barrels carried when leaving the port. It can be imagined that this method cannot be preserved for a long time.

In a few days, the water in the bucket will start to deteriorate and produce green algae, which is sticky and slippery, and smells bad.

The wine will last much longer.

Therefore, for the crew members who have been wandering on the sea all year round, wine is fresh water.

Second, rum can prevent scurvy.

On the boat, because they cannot get fresh food, the crew's food is usually dried bread, cured meat, salted beans, etc., which are difficult to swallow.

Such a poor dietary environment leads to the crew’s lack of vitamin C and is prone to scurvy.

Rum has a preventive effect on scurvy, and of course, wine is even better.

Wine is much more nutritious than rum.

Thinking of this, Constantine said: "That would allow the navy to stock up on more wine, and they also need a lot of wine."

Greece's grape production crisis finally has a way to deal with it.
