Rebirth of the Age of Wealth

Chapter 459 No longer restrained

Several people looked at each other after hearing what Li Weidong said, but they had to take Li Weidong's words seriously. This was advice from a billionaire.

Moreover, if you dare to promise ten times the income, they must take it seriously.

Yin Ning asked in surprise: "Is it such an exaggeration? A bottle of wine costs more than 200, which is equivalent to half of my salary. It can be doubled ten times. Who is willing to drink it?"

"Ask Comrade Gao Shengran, who drinks Maotai!" Li Weidong glanced at Gao Shengran who was pouring wine and said slowly.

You don’t buy what you drink, and you don’t drink what you buy. This is the truth!

"Hehe, it must be a big, rich boss who drinks it. How can we ordinary people afford that!" Gao Shengran said with a laugh.

But Yin Ning is not stupid. She doesn't need Gao Shengran to answer. She already understands the meaning of Li Weidong's words. It's just that it's hard to say it clearly due to the occasion.

"I can't afford a house. The house next to my work costs more than RMB 60,000. Even if I'm exhausted, I can't make so much money!" Gao Shengran continued to say with emotion.

"When I get back, I will secretly take out my money and buy a few boxes of Maotai to keep at home. If the price rises to less than 2,000 yuan in the future, I will go to you to make up the difference!"

Li Weidong said domineeringly: "No problem, if it's not enough, I'll make up for it. If it's too much, it's mine. I'm afraid you'll have to kneel on the washboard if you buy it back!"

Ten times is definitely not a problem. In ten years, even the Maotai market will cost more than a thousand. In addition, the price will have to double after being aged for so many years.

Yin Ning also immediately said: "I will also count as a share. I will buy two boxes and put them at home, and they will be used as dowry when my daughter gets married!"

The other people didn't say anything, but they all had this plan in mind. In the future, they would not accept gifts during the New Year and holidays, but would only receive Maotai liquor as gifts.

I don’t know if Li Weidong’s words will push up the price and sales of Moutai. If word spreads, it will probably be more effective than taking a CCTV bid.

Although Yin Ning said she wanted to buy it, she did so out of trust in Li Weidong and was still a little confused, so she asked: "Why does liquor become more valuable the more you put it away?"

Gao Shengran said: "Chief Yin, when it comes to settling accounts, I'm not as good as you. When it comes to understanding wine, I'm half an expert!"

Yin Ning has been working in the county finance department. Although he graduated from a technical secondary school, he later participated in correspondence education to improve his academic qualifications and his corresponding positions were also improved.

Of course, the level of the Finance Bureau itself is not high, and the ceiling is there. Her academic qualifications are not serious. No matter how strong her ability is, this is all she can do.

Now he is the chief of the budget section of the finance department, and he also has some real power. In fact, he is the deputy chief section member and the actual section chief. He is called section chief just to sound nice.

The level is at least much lower than Gao Shengran. This is the benefit of academic qualifications!

"Of course, you drink more wine than I drink tea!" Yin Ning teased.

"That's not true. The main reason is that during this period, Lao Song from the winery was talking in his ears every day, which made me sick!" Gao Shengran didn't take Yin Ning's teasing seriously.

"Please forgive me, leaders. I will learn and sell today. When the liquor first comes out, there will be a lot of impurities in it and it will taste very spicy. Most ordinary liquors are like this."

"However, after being stored for a long time, those spicy impurities will become less or even disappear, so our wine will taste softer and smoother, and will not be harsh on the throat."

"And if it is stored for a long time, the alcohol in the wine will turn into esters, which will give it a special wine aroma, so the longer it is stored, the more mellow the aroma will be!"

"Of course, not all wine can be stored for a long time. First of all, it must be fermented with grains, and alcohol blending will definitely not work. So don't save wine like Qinchi, it is useless. Again, it must be high-strength wine, and there are

Will save!"

"The Qiushan puree we drank today is a typical example. It is a strong-flavor grain wine that has been stored for more than 20 years. It has an elegant cellar aroma, sweetness and cleanness, softness and harmony, and a long tail aroma!"

"I heard from Lao Song that their aging cellar has a history of hundreds of years and is the same as Lanling wine. His ancestors learned it from Lanling wine, and there is a cellar that has not been opened for almost 30 years.

Woolen cloth!"

"It's rare to see a wine cellar that is thirty years old!" Li Weimin echoed, looking at Li Weidong with a somewhat erratic look.

"No, the wine cellar is full of wine. One day Mr. Li has time, I will accompany you to take a look. The scene is quite shocking!" Gao Shengran said hurriedly when he saw Li Weimin's interest.

"That's good. I have to take a look when I have time. They say it's soaked in a wine jar, but I've never seen a wine jar before!" Li Weimin said with a smile, still looking at Li Weidong.

The fact that Qiushan Winery has been able to store aging cellars for more than ten, twenty, or even thirty years does not mean that they have a good vision and reserve them for appreciation, but that the sales volume is limited and cannot be sold. Of course, it also shows the heritage of the winery.

Deep, at least for a long time.

Almost every county in Handong Province has a winery, and most of them have more than one. Qiushan is no exception, with almost a dozen large and small wineries.

At the beginning of the epidemic in later generations, there was a shortage of disinfectant supplies across the country, but there was no shortage in Handong because there were many breweries and there was as much disinfectant alcohol as needed.

In fact, just a few years ago, the largest sales volume of liquor in the country was not Sichuan Gui Liquor, but Handong Liquor. Several wineries have won the CCTV title for many years in a row, and Handong Liquor has also been resounding throughout China.

Around this time, there was a carnival for Handong Baijiu, but what was left after the carnival was a pile of chicken feathers.

The blending wine scandal caused the former brand king to plummet, and the product backlog was huge. It also brought down the entire Handong liquor industry.

Qiushan Winery originally produced Qiushan Daqu, which cost only a few yuan. In Handong, where there are many liquors, its business is bleak.

It doesn't matter to him when others are doing well, since they can't spend two or three billion on advertising and taking pictures of the king, but when everyone is in bad shape, it will be even worse for him.

It is typical to follow the decline but not the rise. When it rises, no one is faster than others, and when it falls, it is worse than others. This kind of stock should be cleared!

Especially after the blended wine crisis, it is too difficult to re-establish the brand. The existence of this kind of enterprise has almost no use other than raising a group of people.

In the past, Gao Shengran also communicated with Qiushan Cement to see if they could invest in or acquire shares. After all, this was not the first time Qiushan Cement had done such a thing.

In the past few years of corporate restructuring, they have acquired at least several enterprises on the verge of bankruptcy in Qiu Shan, and they have almost become Qiu Shan's non-performing asset management company.

But Fang Xuelong is not stupid. He is out of his mind to invest in Handong Baijiu at this bleak juncture, and it has nothing to do with their industry.

In the end, the county's intention was very clear. If the winery was to restructure or go bankrupt, it would have to shed the burden no matter what. If it wanted to avoid bankruptcy, it would have to find capital to invest in it.

Naturally, you have to go to the investment promotion department to bring in funds. Gao Shengran was so annoyed by the winery that he said this on today's occasion. If it can be done, his contribution will not be small.

Seeing his brother's excitement, Li Weidong knew that he wanted to engage in some industry other than construction and also wanted to walk on multiple legs, but he was restricted by Li Weidong and couldn't.

But this time Li Weidong had no intention of stopping it. Since he mentioned this matter in front of so many people, those messy things definitely don't exist.

Several people also noticed Li Weidong's expression. Seeing that he didn't object, they knew in their hearts that this matter needed to be discussed. As long as the meaning was expressed, some words were more appropriate in private.

"Director Li, I respect you. Let's taste this 20-year-old Qiushan wine again to see if it is as good as Comrade Xiao Gao said!" Dong Chenghong picked up the wine glass at the right time and said.

The second cup has begun, which is the sequel to the program wine. You can feel free to drink it after drinking this cup!

"Thank you, I respect you, I respect you. I didn't taste it carefully just now. This time I have to taste it carefully!" Li Weidong also picked up the wine glass and agreed.

You come and go, the wine game is finally over, and a few people start drinking tea and chatting to sober up. This is the sequel to the wine game. Of course, if you want other entertainment activities, you can also start the next one!

The purpose of the chat was very clear. He just wanted to invite Li Weidong to return to his hometown to invest. He grabbed one thigh and hugged him hard. He would not give up until the flesh on the leg was pulled off.

However, there is indeed no project in Qiushan that is suitable for Li Weidong's investment, otherwise he would have invested long ago. After all, the industries under his name involve all walks of life, and making money is not just making money.

It’s just that if people don’t have money in their pockets, investing in the service industry will definitely not work. If you want people to have money in their pockets, you can only invest in labor-intensive manufacturing.

But they don't have the soil for manufacturing here. In his previous life, Li Weidong didn't remember that they had any decent manufacturing industry here.

It seems that a large company invested in a paper mill here. It was quite a sensation and became the largest company in their county. However, the pollution was also severe, so Li Weidong could not do this.

Li Weidong scratched his head and said: "Several leaders, our cherries will be ripe in a while. I heard from Mr. Fang that he wanted to invite some entrepreneur friends to come and pick cherries with us!"

"So I have to ask the leaders for something. When the time comes, I have to ask the leaders to provide some conveniences in terms of transportation, security, food and accommodation. Of course, they will pay for it!"

"If this is where we are, Mr. Fang is a friend of the people in our county. Naturally, his friends are also our friends. We can definitely do these trivial things well!"

When Secretary Dong heard Li Weidong's words, he stood up happily and said, this is not asking him, it is simply giving him a New Year's gift package.

What he said was very high-level, and he was obviously trying to help others, as if he was asking for something. Anyone who heard it would feel that he had gained face without losing his dignity.

Fang Xuelong's friends are probably Li Weidong's subordinates, and they are all bosses, which means they can keep their word and decide things.

What's the difference between saying you're here for a trip and an inspection? If you fall in love with some projects, wouldn't it be a successful investment? This is a door-to-door investment promotion.

The most important thing is that there is no need to consider whether this is true or not. Li Weidong must have been lying before he said this, and Fang Xuelong must not know which entrepreneur friends he has coming.

But after Li Weidong said this, it is true, and it will definitely come when the time comes!

"When the time comes, Magistrate Guo and I will definitely do our best to provide convenience to our friends and reflect the hospitality of our Handong people!" Dong Chenghong said with certainty.

After Dong Chenghong finished speaking, he said to Gao Shengran. "Xiao Gao, you must also make good preparations for the reception. You must be meticulous and comprehensive. Don't make any mistakes and miss this opportunity!"

This means more. The preparation work is naturally not just reception preparation, but also preparation of attractive projects in their county and promotion of them in a timely manner.

Of course, this opportunity refers to this investment opportunity, and there is a promise for Gao Shengran to become a full-time employee. As long as he does it well this time, the formalization will be done immediately.

With Li Weidong's promise, the following chat became smoother as expected. It was simply that what Li Weidong wanted to hear was what others said.

On the way back, Li Weidong looked at Li Weimin sitting in the passenger seat and Gao Anbang next to him and said, "Do you know that winery very well?"

Gao Anbang thought for a moment and said, "I guess I understand. I contacted Director Song of the winery and sent it back. In fact, this winery was his family's ancestral property before the joint venture. It must have been passed down to his generation for seven or eight generations.

"

"Lao Song is very good at winemaking. He has been dealing with wine all his life. It is said that he has won some winemaking awards, but just knowing how to make wine may not necessarily lead to a good winery!"

"I remember ten years ago, when my master and I went out to work, our boss gave us Qiu Shan Daqu, but in recent years there have been fewer of them on the market. Most of them are Kongfujia, Kongfuyan, Shiliquan, Lanling Daqu, etc.

Famous wine around!”

"Think about it, our local wines can't be sold locally, that is, those ten or twenty-year-old wines can still have some sales when used as hospitality wines by the county!"

After Gao Anbang finished speaking, he shook his head. He didn't know whether it was a pity for the winery or for the director of the winery. In short, he felt a little pity, and his thoughts were similar to Li Weimin's.

"You can't say that. We also drank it today. The wine tastes good. I think there is still a management problem!" Li Weimin quickly added.

"You guys have negotiated it yourself. Don't regret it if you lose money!" Seeing Li Weimin's persistence, Li Weidong didn't stop him.

"Brother, don't worry, we will definitely not lose money. In fact, we have noticed this winery for a long time. It has not been good in the past few years. In addition to the general environment and management problems, the wine itself is not a big problem. As long as the reward mechanism is in place,

It shouldn’t be difficult to make money!”

"As long as you are smart, others won't be able to see this. Don't take things for granted. Doing business is never that easy. A lot of what you see is what others are doing!"

Li Weidong shook his head and stopped talking. His brother-in-law and younger brother had been wandering around the world for many years, and he could no longer restrain them. Even if they failed, it would just be a tuition fee.

In the evening, Liu Jinhui and Li Weidong talked about returning to her parents' home. The meaning was obvious. Although she didn't need to go back to her parents' home in the second grade of junior high school, it was not good to go back too late.

"How about we go back tomorrow?" Li Weidong heard what Liu Jinhui meant.

"It's not good, I can't come back a few times a year, so I'll leave after just a few days?" Liu Jinhui smiled, but her words were full of consideration for Li Weidong.

Li Weidong curled his lips and said: "If you really think so, you have to pretend to be more realistic, look at you, your cheeks are grinning!"

"Is it so obvious?" Liu Jinhui touched her face and said angrily.

Just as Li Weidong was about to speak, his cell phone on the bedside rang. He looked at the phone number and saw that it was Jiang Zhili calling from the United States, and was slightly stunned.

"Answer, who's calling?" Liu Jinhui looked at Li Weidong and glanced at him blankly, and asked casually, this is Li Weidong's personal phone, and it doesn't ring often.

"Old Jiang, we called from the United States!" Li Weidong didn't hide anything, and there was no need to hide it.

"Hey, it's me!" Li Weidong pressed the answer button and said.

"Hello, Chairman, I'm sorry to disturb you so late!" Jiang Zhili's words came from the receiver. Although it was night in China, it was still morning in San Francisco.

"Don't bother me. It's only morning then. It sounds like you haven't slept all night. Please pay attention to your health!" Li Weidong glanced at his watch and did some calculations in his mind. He knew it was only about six o'clock in the morning over there.

"Thank you, Chairman, for your concern. This is what we should do!" Jiang Zhili's voice rose several times. The boss was naturally excited because he was concerned, and the salary they received was to allow them to be on call 24/7 and work at any time.

"That's it, Chairman. We held a meeting all night regarding Yahoo shares. Now we have several important issues that need to be reported to you!"

"..." Jiang Zhili began to report one by one, and finally said tentatively, "It would be better if, as chairman, you could personally guide our negotiations!"
