Chapter 1772 The History of Grievances Between Wealthy Families

"This founding of the country will shock the jaws of people all over the world, right?" Saul said gloatingly.

Yang Cheng pouted, "To be honest, if I hadn't participated, I would have been shocked. Are Americans crazy? They actually chose such a lunatic~"

"You're right. I've met him a few times before. He's just a psycho. You know? When we met for the first time, he actually said to me: Hey Rector, your muscles are so good. You should act in a movie. ."

Yang Cheng complained, "You should be lucky that he didn't ask you to sell your muscles to him."

"Ha~ He prefers to buy golf courses~"

Each of these two idiots complained about Comrade Jianguo from beginning to end, even his hair.

"By the way, buddy, Roy Gallo is holding a cocktail party at the Palace Hotel tomorrow to promote his new wine. In addition, he has spread rumors that he wants to bring the story to a happy ending. Do you want to go?"

Yang Cheng was a little drunk at the moment and couldn't remember who it was for a moment, "Roy Gallo? This name sounds familiar~"

"Damn it, how could you forget such an important person?" When he said this, he was not solemn at all, but rather playful~

Yang Cheng met his eyes and suddenly recalled, "Wait, are you from the Gallo family?"

Thor sneered, "His two uncles don't admit that his Gallo and their Gallo have the same surname."

Yang Cheng clicked his tongue, "Is he Joseph Gallo's son?"

Saul shrugged, "Yeah, Joseph's son, now he's back for revenge. Believe me, even if it's just for gossip, everyone in New York will gather at the Palace Hotel tomorrow. Don't miss this show~"

Yang Cheng laughed and said, "Don't worry, even if there is an earthquake, tsunami and tornado tomorrow, I will be there on time. Remember to leave a good seat for me. I want to listen to the story. I feel that this story that has been entangled for decades will finally have an ending." Got it!"

"No problem, man, we will definitely stand in the front row. By the way, I have to call Conrad, he will not miss this good show.

You're right, otherwise Roy wouldn't have mobilized and called all the people in New York. "

The two of them talked in a fog for a long time, and even an uninformed person wouldn't be able to understand.

This matter started more than 80 years ago.

Two Italian-American brothers were left impoverished by the sudden death of their parents, so poor that they could hardly afford to eat.

They thought this was not going to work and had to find a way to survive. Finally, they decided to use only 900 US dollars and 5,000 US dollars borrowed from a relative to invest in a brand new business that sounded unimaginable to outsiders - wine making.

You must know that according to this version of the story, they have never made or sold liquor before, but they have unlimited confidence in the prospects of this market.

With story one, there is naturally story two, which I will talk about later.

Because the Prohibition, which has been implemented for more than ten years, is about to end. This Prohibition is an experiment of the Puritans' best wishes, but it has spawned a large number of social crimes, and Americans' enthusiasm for hard liquor has not been greatly affected by this, so the brothers I feel that as long as I make wine, there will be a market for it.

The most amazing thing about this American dream praised by countless people is that when they were preparing to make wine, their brother Ernest miraculously found a dusty book in the basement of the library of the University of California, Davis. The booklet is actually a brewing manual, which details all the materials and processes required for brewing.

As a result, the brothers quickly mastered the brewing technology and devoted themselves to this new venture. They worked fearlessly and conscientiously for decades.

Even though the whole process was extremely long, in the end, they created the largest and most profitable liquor company in the United States.

At the peak of the Gallo Wine Industry, they occupied nearly half of the market on the West Coast, and in 2005, they created a miracle of sales of 2.7 billion US dollars. Even today, the Gallo Wine Industry is still considered to be the largest sales company in the world. The largest liquor seller.

Does the story sound dreamy? Very inspiring? Very chicken soup?

However, story two is the most exciting.

The second story makes up for some omissions in the first story. For example, the Gallo family has not only two brothers, but three brothers. The youngest brother is named Joseph Gallo, who is Roy Gallo's father. Joseph is younger than Ernest and Julio. I am 10 years old, but I have never had the opportunity to participate in company affairs from the same starting point as them.

In the second story, the Ernest brothers did not start from scratch, and they were not so poor that they could not afford to eat. Instead, they took over the mysterious liquor company founded by their father more than 20 years ago. However, that period was the peak of Prohibition. , so this mysterious company could only exist underground. It was not until Prohibition was revoked that the brothers brought it to the surface and became known to the public.

In this version of the story, Ernest and Julio are not perfect representatives of the American dream. They are just secular, snobbish and ambitious entrepreneurs. They deliberately created a poor background and shaped themselves into self-made 'great men'. The image is actually just to sell wine. Of course, it may also be to cover up some family secrets that cannot be revealed to others.

and excluded their youngest brother from his parents' inheritance list.

Especially Ernest, who is portrayed in the story as a vicious villain who does all kinds of evil. For the sake of profit, he does not hesitate to suppress his own brother, so that Joseph does not dare to use the surname Gallo.

Finally forced to have no choice but to muster up the courage to stand up, Joseph is like a modern, male version of Cinderella. He wants to fight his two evil brothers to the end. He wants to find his family identity and the inheritance he deserves. property and restore the dignity of the Gallo name.

Unfortunately, this fight was doomed to failure, and he died of worsening illness and mental humiliation. During his trial, he had bluntly accused himself, directly or indirectly, of being mentally and physically assaulted by his brothers over the decades. torture.

Even at the age of 80, Ernest and Julio took Joseph to court over an unpleasant incident and accused him of not having the right to use the name Gallo, asking him to ban the use of the surname Gallo. In the cheese sales business he opened.

They also publicly slandered Joseph's cheese as "junk" and even potentially harmful to the body. They also claimed that Joseph did not join their wine group decades ago because he did not want to join.

The brothers, Ernest and Julio, ultimately won the case at a federal trial, with the judge finding that Joseph attempted to financially benefit from his brothers' fame.

And once again successfully rejected Joseph's counterclaim for one-third of the family property, the judge also found that Joseph had no evidence to prove who was telling the truth in the past half century.

In other words, both versions of the story failed to gain legal support.
