Chapter 201: A Big Trouble and Abandoning the Bait
Chapter 201: Abandoning the bait when you are in trouble, and I am in my own mind (Part 2)
As the saying goes, "The Spirit is so perfect, but the practice taught by Feng Junzi is to first get out of the spirit and then go into transformation. After the alchemy Yang is transformed into the Yin Yin God, the original Yin Shen travel technique has become a kind of Yin Shen travel technique, and many restrictions have been broken. I can travel back to Wucheng overnight and meet Liu Feier in my dream. In fact, this kind of dream date is our initial way of getting along, but after the two places are separated, the Yin Shen cannot meet her far, and now it is OK. I only told Liu Feier that my "special abilities" are stronger than before. No matter where I am, I can come to accompany her in my dreams. She feels very novel and comforting. But I have never transformed into the true body of the Yang Shen in front of her. She is an ordinary person. I don't want to be too shocked.
There is also good news, I'm rich! Ziying handed over Zhiweilou to Chen Yan for management, and Chen Yan's business is getting better and better. Later, Ziying simply asked her to be the general manager of Zhiweilou Catering Chain Co., Ltd., and spent most of her time refining elixirs and resting in the Plum Blossom Holy Land. Zhiweilou opened branches in many larger cities in the province, but what really made us make a lot of money was not only the business of the restaurant itself, but there were two other things.
The first thing is the value-added real estate. Ziying has a habit of opening a Zhiweilou branch. This habit probably developed when she found out that I was the landlord of the wonton restaurant, which is to buy only houses and not rent houses. Even if it is a mortgage loan, buy Zhiweilou property first. Every branch of Zhiweilou branch selects commercial buildings in the most promising location in the city, which is not the most central, but Ziying believes that it will have the most commercial development in the future. I have to admit that Ziying has a very good vision. Over the years, these commercial real estates have increased a lot. Not to mention anything else, just the properties in various places, I have a net worth of tens of millions.
The year I graduated from college, I also won an award in Wucheng City - an advanced individual business owner. Feng Junzi's father, Vice Mayor Feng Huaiyuan, presented me with the award at the commendation meeting. He knew me, Feng Junzi's classmate, and patted my shoulder and said something encouraging and praising, which made me feel a little amused.
The second thing is that I acquired Wucheng Winery, and it was a purchase without spending a penny. What I like was not this winery, but the old cyanopsis pulp stored in its cellar, the production process and this brand that has been preserved since ancient times. The history of Wucheng Winery can no longer be traced back accurately. It was originally a winery workshop opened by Ji Ren's family, which was passed down from generation to generation for many years. After liberation, it was jointly operated by the public and private sectors and gradually became a state-owned enterprise, and it was also an old state-owned factory.
Wucheng winery began to expand and expand production in the early 1980s, and it was once very prosperous, but in the mid-1990s, the operation fell into trouble. First of all, the brewing process began to cut corners. The more you drink the old cyan, the less you feel. More importantly, the production, operation and management are chaotic and internal friction are serious. Every time a leader changes, a batch of inexplicable new projects will be launched. A hundred employees of a factory, a large and small owed a lot of loans to the bank, and it has reached the verge of bankruptcy with low debts.
In the mid-1990s, around the time when I graduated from college, the economic guidance policy suddenly became popular at that time, and "focus on the big and let go of the small and small". Almost all small and medium-sized state-owned enterprises could sell them. Wucheng winery was also on sale. During that time, the winery was very chaotic. The leaders were busy collecting the fine and soft, and the workers were panicked and did not know when they would be laid off. Even the supply of old cyan in Zhiweilou was not guaranteed. One day at dinner, Fei'er and I talked about this issue. I was mainly worried that Zhiweilou's wine also needs to be brewed by myself, rather than purchasing old cyan and processing it. Because Chen Yan mentioned this several times recently.
Liu Fei'er usually doesn't interfere in the management of Zhiweilou, and even Chen Yan had to pay her dividends directly to my account. But this time she saw that I was worried, so she went to Chen Yan to ask about this matter. After returning home, she said to me: "I have a suggestion that you can buy the winery and run it yourself. Sister Ziying is not in Wucheng. Can you ask her to come? I have something to discuss with her."
I asked curiously: "Didn't you always ignore my business? Why are you so concerned today?"
Fei'er smiled: "Everyone got married because of Zhiweilou. It was because I drank the old Chunhuang wine at Shiji Hotel. This is a commemoration between you and me, and I want to keep it."
I nodded and said, "Then do as you want. I want to use this winery as a betrothal gift to marry you. Don't forget that our wedding date should be settled."
Ziying returned to Wucheng and didn't know how she discussed it with Fei'er, so she made a decision and let me bid for the government department. Although it seems that any state-owned enterprise can be sold under the trend of catching big and letting go of small, it is not so easy for you to really want to buy it. The operating difficulties of Wucheng winery are completely self-inflicted, including the current factory manager himself, who has the intention to buy this winery. On the surface, there are no need to spend a penny, just take on bank loans and employee severance and resettlement, but there are many private secret operations.
If you buy a winery according to the conditions issued by the government, you will never suffer any loss. On the surface, you have suffered losses for three consecutive years, but the assets of 16 million yuan on the books have a debt of 18 million yuan. But in fact, this winery is not only worth the money. Not to mention anything else, the century-old raw pulp stored in the wine cellar is taken out for auction and will never be worth 10 million yuan. I am not for the money, maybe just for the memorial significance of the old Chunhuang.
For the first time in my life, I specially called Feng Junzi, who was far away in Zhejiang. After graduating from university, Feng Junzi was assigned to work at the Qinshan Nuclear Power Plant in Haiyan, Zhejiang. I talked to him about the recent situation of Wucheng winery and my thoughts on the phone. Feng Junzi didn't remember practicing, but he knew the history of the old Chunhuang and the taste of the wine in Zhiweilou, and supported my thoughts very much. He said he wanted me to wait for the news, and called me the next day to ask me to go to his house to find his father in the evening. He had already said hello.
When I saw Mayor Feng Huaiyuan again, he was still wearing very old-fashioned glasses and his hair was half white. Feng Junzi's hair was a little white, and there were a few genetic factors, right? If I didn't know about Qixin and Luxue, people would think so when I saw Mayor Feng's hair. Mayor Feng and I were somewhat acquaintances, and he always had a good impression of me. This time I didn't give me any valuable gifts, nor did I get free to do it. I gave the old Chunhuang, a specialty of Zhiweilou.
Mayor Feng already knew what I was coming, so he asked me to sit down and hand me a cup of tea, and asked me straightforwardly: "Shiye, our Xiaofeng has already told me about the Wucheng winery, so don't go around the corner, tell me about your plans for acquisition."
Mayor Feng spoke so simply, and I swallowed all the polite words I had prepared and said directly: "Uncle Feng, my idea is actually very simple. I want to retain the craftsmanship that has been passed down for thousands of years and this traditional Wucheng wine. It doesn't matter whether it is carried forward and famous all over the world. I just want it to last forever and spread the fragrance."
Mayor Feng nodded and asked a very straightforward question: "The municipal government has issued a condition to reimburse all the arrears of wages and insurance, and bear the severance and resettlement costs of laid-off workers. There is a lot of articles to do here. What are you going to do? To be honest!"
"I don't plan to do what to do. I don't want to dismiss the employees at all. All technical workers with more than five years of service are retained. There are also a group of old masters who have been laid off and retired from home. I don't want to keep any of the original leadership teams and the decent management personnel of the winery."
Mayor Feng smiled and said, "You don't have to worry about those people, they all have a place to go. Can you still make money in this way?"
"Although I'm not trying to make money, I won't suffer any losses after calculating. Some people around me are proficient in brewing and calculating costs, and I also have my sales channels. Even if I take it according to the existing conditions, I still have money to make money."
Mayor Feng: "It's enough to recover cash flow. The bank can extend the loans, as long as you can pay interest on time. However, I asked yesterday that more than one person wants to buy this winery, and those who have already established the relationship are Director Xiao and Rongdao Group of the original winery. I really didn't expect that the small Wucheng winery Rongdao Group will also intervene. I know them, Mr. Zhang, and you may not be able to compete with him."
"I know Mr. Zhang Rongdao, too, and I will discuss it with him. As for Director Xiao, what do you think about Uncle Feng?"
Mayor Feng smiled bitterly: "Focus on the big and let go of the small, and the rich and the water will not flow to outsiders' fields. In fact, many of the companies sold in the city were acquired by the original relevant leaders through relationships. They know the interests best. I won't say much about financial articles. These people say that companies can do well when they come to their own hands, but in fact, these people are doing it over the years, but the worse they do. They all put the blame on the system. There must be some reasons, but they definitely did not play a good role. This is a very uncomfortable situation. I would rather see you to acquire it in my personal perspective."
"Sorry, then I asked directly, how can I get it to Wucheng winery?"
Mayor Feng: "I am not in charge of business. It is difficult to interfere in such matters. But our Xiaofeng called me yesterday and quarreled with me for a long time, and almost called us city leaders historical sinners. Wucheng winery is just a small business in the city, so I just say hello. As for Rongdao Group, it would be better if you can buy privately. I can call Mr. Zhang, but I can't force him."
"Mr. Zhang Rongdao, I will go to find him personally, so I won't bother you, Uncle Feng, to call me."
There is no need to say much about the winery matter. Mayor Feng and I talked to him for a few more words about Feng Junzi. Mayor Feng sighed: "When I see you, I think of our Xiaofeng. You are classmates, and you are much more promising than him."
I quickly said modestly: "Feng Junzi is now engaged in the construction of national key projects, so he is a real pillar talent. How can I compare with him as a small business?"
Mayor Feng smiled happily: "He is also a talent? I remember that he always got the second place in your class, and you got the first place."
Some things seem complicated, but finding the right way is simple. The most critical step in my acquisition of Wucheng winery was completed like this. An insider later learned that it was Mayor Feng who greeted me specifically and privately suspected how much benefit I had given me? In fact, I didn’t give a penny. Feng Huaiyuan, who always spoke with a stern face, also had humor. He called me the next day and asked me in a surprised tone: "Is the wine you gave me yesterday the old cyan yellow made in your Zhiweilou? I want a few bottles." After hearing this, I wanted to laugh, and the wine was filled with yellow pyramid!
But then again, I still used the relationship between the world, which is Feng Junzi's favor. If it weren't for Feng Junzi, Mayor Feng would not care about this matter. The secular affairs were interpreted by secular laws, and now I can see through it. I bought Wucheng winery as I wish and started to produce my own old Chunhuang. The bank's loan extension is to borrow new loans and repay old ones very smoothly, because Rongdao Group provided me with a new guarantee. I now have more than 80 employees waiting for monthly salary and a bank debt of 18 million yuan, but I am very happy.
I have a simple management of Wucheng winery and I don’t deliberately want to make it bigger and stronger. In fact, after understanding the production process and materials of this wine, I know that the old Chunhuang does not have the conditions for large-scale mass production. What I can do is to restore the factory to normal production order and process flow, which is not complicated but very clear. There are people around me who can use it. In recent years, I have also selected some descendants and disciples from the scattered cultivators and children of various families to deliberately cultivate it. On the one hand, it is practice, and on the other hand, it is also learning the worldly way. In the future, the Three Dreams will begin, and there will be no few people.
As for the factory director, there is one who is very relieved, that is, my future father-in-law, Mr. Liu, the father of Feier. Mr. Liu is a child of a noble family. For some reason, he is interested in the old Chunhuang winery and volunteers to come and watch me. I simply let him be the factory director. In fact, there is nothing to keep him busy. He just goes to the factory to check the situation every day. The old man also moved his family to Wucheng, and the newly bought house is near the winery. My business principle has always been to win the world with nothing to do. I can decide in one fell swoop, and I don’t have to make trouble all the time. I think I did not do anything big to acquire the winery, but the production and operation conditions are very good, and there is no large layoffs and layoffs. I won another award from the city - an outstanding entrepreneur in Wucheng.
As for my parents, I didn't want to go to the city. I said that I had been used to living in the mountains and fields for a lifetime and liked the air and environment there. They often came to the city to see me, but they were unwilling to live in the city for a long time. My sister went to college and was not the national key, but also the provincial key, which was Fei'er's alma mater, Wucheng Normal University.
After a while of busy work in the winery, I was free. Now Chen Yan can send someone to process the special old chrysanthemum in the workshop to supply Zhiwei Buildings in various places. As for the external sales, Rongdao Group has a trading company, and the sales network is responsible for Rongdao Group. The output of old chrysanthemum is not large, and it is famous in the world's cultivation world. Even those practitioners in the secular world consume it occasionally. After all these things are done, the wedding date between Liu Feier and I should have been set.
I originally planned to get married immediately as soon as I graduated. This was a matter of negotiation, but this was not only something that we had to do if we wanted to do, but there were still some situations to deal with. First of all, I was once a student of Liu Feier. After graduation, I became a self-employed person and was five years younger than Liu Feier. Feier was always worried that her father might not agree. People need to get along with each other. I spent some time dealing with Mr. Liu, and later I became an "outstanding entrepreneur in Wucheng". There was nothing to say about my identity. As for my parents, I had already understood it, and they nodded as soon as I opened my mouth.
Before finally confirming the specific wedding date, I called Feng Junzi again and asked him when he could go back to Wucheng to attend my wedding? Although he forgot that I was his disciple, I hope he would come when he got married. He heard that I was really going to marry Teacher Liu, Feng Junzi shouted in surprise and excitement on the phone: "Ishino, I really admire you! This kind of thing sounds like a fantasy to others, but after so many years, you have done it! Being promiscuous and being promiscuous."
"You should congratulate me. I decided to marry her six years ago in the summer. Today she finally wants to marry me!"
Feng Junzi: "I think about it, wasn't that before you entered the third year of high school? You kid are too precocious. You dared to take the idea of your head teacher at that time, and you really got it!"
"Stop talking nonsense, you must come to my wedding. If you dare not come, I will fly to Qinshan to catch you."
Feng Junzi: "Of course I have to come. I don't want to pay attention to your face, but also to Teacher Liu's face. I'll do it. It's just right to take a family leave, and it will take a weekend of half a month."
"Family leave? Where did you get the family leave before you get married?"
Feng Junzi: "Are you an amateur? You haven't worked in a formal office when you hear that. Before the employees of other places get married, they visit their parents' leave every year. After marriage, if the couple separates, they visit their spouse leave every four years."
"Okay, okay, no matter what leave you take, you will definitely go back to Wucheng for a wedding next month."
Feng Junzi: "Of course I have to go back, what kind of wedding gift should I give you?"
"You greeted me last time and helped me get the Wucheng winery done. This time you can just come empty-handed. How many days are you planning to stay in Wucheng?"
Feng Junzi: "Isn't it enough to attend the wedding? Then I'm going to go to Mangdang Mountain."
