President Richard sat in his office listening to the monthly sales report from his subordinates, nodding repeatedly with satisfaction.
Before the alcohol prohibition was enacted, he had stockpiled a large batch of alcohol, which then flowed into society through legal channels, allowing Gold Label Wine Industry to make a substantial profit.
But this big profit was a one-off deal; they couldn't continue to provide alcohol steadily and could only watch helplessly as smuggled alcohol crazily took away the profits that should have belonged to them.
Luckily, now they have a franchise license, and he persuaded the board to start selling alcohol to the public.
In fact, he didn't waste much effort convincing the board; he merely presented the market prices of alcohol in front of each board member.
He didn't even need to say anything like "I have an idea"; when they saw the astonishing profits, the board immediately started discussing whether they could open up the alcohol market.
