Godly Fisherman

"This is really not a means to cheat money. The water levels on both sides of the Pacific and the Atlantic are different. The salt density of the sea on the two sides is different, and the climate and ocean currents are different, so there is a water level difference. It is not clear in one sentence or two sentences. Just remember this. Okay, you can drive the boat to the Atlantic after passing the lock. I'm almost suffocated here." Xiao Peng said.

Yang Meng nodded, and after a few words with the navigator, he asked Xiao Peng, "Where shall we go next?"

"Just rest here. I have been at sea for several days, and staying in Cologne would be nice." Xiao Peng said.

After listening to this, Sun Pengcheng was taken aback, glanced at the navigator and said in a low voice: "Brother Peng, shouldn't we do business now?"

Xiao Peng shrugged: "The super fishing ground is still detouring. Isn't it too early for us to go to Cuba?"

"Then you should go to Columbia now?" Sun Pengcheng's voice became even lower.

"Go to Colombia? What are you doing?" Xiao Peng asked back.

Sun Pengcheng's eyes widened: "Brother Peng, didn't you mean to tease me? Isn't it just for the purpose of coming this time..."

Xiao Peng asked back: "Are you directing me to do things?"

Sun Pengcheng hurriedly shook his head.

Xiao Peng said to Yang Meng: "Mengzi, contact Cologne Port and rest here for a week!"

"okay!"

Sun Pengcheng looked at the two of Xiao Peng with an expression of hesitation, but finally held back.

In Panama, this place is not big, it is only about the same size as Chongqing, but it is divided into many cities, such as Panama City, Cologne, Santiago, San Miguelito, Palma and so on. Cologne is a large city in Panama because it is located by the canal. The population has reached two hundred thousand.

This number is quite a lot. Santiago, the third largest city in Panama, has a population of 60,000. . . . . .

However, after the ship docked at the Port of Cologne, the port staff did something very interesting: He introduced a group of people to Xiao Peng and them, and wanted to serve Xiao Peng and them as bodyguards--all of them were armed bodyguards.

Of course Xiao Peng refused, but they were not angry, leaving contact information, and they could contact them at any time when they said they needed it.

"What do you mean? Is it chaotic here?" Xiao Peng asked Sun Pengcheng puzzled.

Sun Pengcheng shook his head and said: "Panama's public security has always been not good. After all, it was a rebellion to get back the right to operate the Panama Canal. Is public security here? A financial city like Panama City is better. Other places are almost meaningless. There is generally a problem of lax law enforcement. The law here is very interesting. Prisons within three years can be bought with money, so people here are not so afraid of breaking the law. A few months ago, a large-scale rally took place in Cologne. During the event, many people took the opportunity to looted Chinese shops, so our national embassy issued a warning, asking our national citizens to be careful when coming here."

Yang Meng smiled and said, "I want to see who is not afraid of death and dare to provoke us! Let's go out and play. Isn't this the ‘Pearl of Central America’?"

Sun Pengcheng nodded and said, "Well, this is the largest free trade port in South America and the second largest free trade port in the world after Hong Kong Island. Shopping here is quite cheap. I bought a bottle of Moutai here. More than twenty dollars."

Xiao Peng blinked: "Buy Maotai in Panama? Why does it sound a little black and humorous?"

Yang Meng puzzled: "Black humor? What do you mean?"

Xiao Peng smiled and said, "Now you open the official website of Moutai and see what the first honor you got?"

After listening, Yang Meng took out his mobile phone and checked: "Gold Medal in the 1915'Panama Expo'?"

Xiao Peng nodded and said, "This Panama Expo was actually not held in Panama, but in San Francisco. At that time, it was named for the opening of the Panama Canal for several years."

After Yang Meng heard this, he patted his hands: "I remember that this happened! Isn't there such a story? At that time, our country was going to judge awards. People didn't care about our Chinese liquor at all. Finally, the people at Moutai Distillery had an idea and remembered One way is to smash a bottle of liquor directly at the exhibition site. The rich aroma attracted the attention of the judges. After tasting together, they said it was the best liquor in the world, and finally awarded the gold medal! Is it this Panama Expo? ?"

Xiao Peng laughed: "Bullshit, this is an urban legend chicken soup article in "Traveler" magazine in 1982. At that time, the appraisal had requirements in terms of appearance. How could it be possible to drop a bottle? Various media have repeatedly quoted, the last one said that there are noses and eyes. Moreover, Moutai has never won a gold award, but only won a silver award. The silver award is not the second prize, but the fourth prize: at that time, there were six levels of awards. They are medallions, medals of honor, gold medals, silver medals, bronze medals, and honor awards. There are four kinds of wines that have won the highest-level medallion in our country, namely, Shanxi’s Gaoliangfen, and Zhili (now Hebei, Qing Dynasty Opera Linna The so-called'Governor of Zhili' is actually the governor of Hebei, but because people have the right to have soldiers and horses and are responsible for the safety of the capital, they must be their confidants. Like Yuan Datou, he was the governor of Zhili, and finally led the troops directly to the capital. The sorghum wine, Henan sorghum wine and Changyu wine. And Moutai’s silver award is only the fourth prize. And even if it’s the gold prize promoted by Moutai, it’s only the third prize. And you know this so-called' What kind of event is Panama Expo?"

Yang Meng shook his head and said he didn't know.

Xiao Peng smiled and said: "It's almost the same as the current pheasant awards. At that time, our country won a total of 1,211 awards. There were awards for almost everything sent, the most being the silver award. It sounds good, but the term is not high."

Yang Meng was dumbfounded: "I'm going,'Moutai' is the second baijiu in the world, isn't it? How did this claim come from?

Xiao Peng waved his hand and signaled Yang Meng and Sun Pengcheng to follow him. They walked towards the dock and said as they walked: "This is because in 1959, an article in our official national newspaper was called "Moutai Liquor". The article in "Hometown" said at that time,'In 1915, countries around the world held the world-famous Panama Expo in South America. China's eight famous wines were also included in the competition. At that time, due to China's low international status, foreign capitalists always wanted To belittle the status of Maojiu, the competition had to rank Maotai, which should be the first in quality, as the second in the world, second only to brandy', so the term'second in the world' came out. In fact, this report is full of loopholes. Yes, the Panama Expo at that time was not held in South America, but in San Francisco, and there was never a separate award for alcohol products. Wine was included in the agricultural product evaluation together with soybeans, fruits, and bristles, so it would not be considered Moutai is rated as the second wine in the world; in addition, the so-called "eight famous wines" is also derived from the post-liberation statement... But anyway, it is the most authoritative newspaper report in China, and people naturally recognize it. With this statement, Maotai has become the second in the world in the eyes of Chinese people."

Yang Meng lit a cigarette and took a deep breath: "Well, the legendary'media twists the truth.'"

Sun Pengcheng smiled and said, "Mengzi, you can't say that. You have to consider whether the background was good or not? At that time, the country was too weak, and these energetic things were needed to improve the self-confidence of the people."

Xiao Peng nodded: "Later, China's reform and opening up, in order to establish a model of reform, began to publicize Moutai, the silver award was not good, and the publicity became what it is today. Since then, Moutai has been tied to the'Panama Gold Award'. Moreover, the Moutai Distillery will hold events like'commemorating the 70th, 80th, 90th, 100th anniversary of the Panama Gold Medal of Moutai' from time to time, and every event is in the People X Conference It’s a high-level event. This "Panama Gold Award" has become a final conclusion. Although the "World Food Economy and Culture General Survey" and other books all show that Moutai won the silver medal of the Panama Games at that time, but Moutai has promoted the "Gold Award" so far."

After hearing this, Sun Pengcheng answered: "This is the commercial promotion method. Everyone talks about it. Now what is the product's popularity? Blow! As long as someone dares to blow, everyone will believe it. How did our domestic scammers succeed? You Look at all the scams, whether it’s MLM or something, they all rely on'blowing' the word. The more exaggerated the blowing, the more people will believe it. If you don’t see other WeChat business bosses, they are all “Xi Ti Liaoning” Xi Ti Concorde'?"

When Yang Meng heard this, he looked disdainful: "Does anyone believe such a liar?"

"Liar?" Xiao Peng shook his finger at Yang Meng after hearing this. "Dude, what you see is really too simple. Do you think they don't know that this is too exaggerated? They are not stupid. They have other purposes. "

After hearing this, Sun Pengcheng also looked puzzled: "Then why are they?"

Xiao Peng explained: "Attention. Now no matter what it is, it depends on the traffic. Attention is the most important. When everyone laughs about their "Xi Ti Liaoning", the attention of other people's products has increased. Just pay attention. Once the degree is high, the fake will become real. You didn’t see that someone who sings, tunes, dances, doesn’t dance, just grins and becomes the draft champion? Just because she has traffic!"

Yang Meng's eyes widened: "Is this Nima okay?"

Xiao Peng nodded: "Why do you think so many people spend so much money on popular searches? You are like the Canadian buying record rankings. No matter how much trouble it is, the beneficiary is that guy: the buying rankings is Fans do it without him having to pay for it, and the hot search is that he earns traffic on his own. If something really happens and the public relations company spends money on whitewashing, if it is really difficult to do whitewashing, he will stand up. Call on your fans to chase stars rationally, let their fans calm down, and throw the pot directly on their fans, and he can still gain a good reputation. At the same time, with traffic, they also make money. But to be honest, they These are all pediatrics, and they are far behind the real masters."

"What is the real master?" Yang Meng asked curiously.
