Chapter 2243 Wholesale Department Opening

After the company started working, the first thing Wan Feng did had little to do with Nanwan Group.

Since you have given others advice, you must naturally fulfill it.

Therefore, the first thing he did on the eighth day of the new year at work was to call the Red Cliff Brewery.

The full name of Hongya Brewery is Bohai Huanghai Brewery. It was established in 1989 and its registered trademark is Hailanghua.

In the 1990s, Hailanghua Beer was very famous in Hongya, and its taste and alcohol content were very good.

Wan Feng remembers very clearly how delicious the 12.5° white beer produced by Hongya Brewery at that time was.

Not only has it firmly established itself in the local market, it has also been sold to surrounding counties and cities.

But after 2000, it began to decline, as if the taste of the wine changed drastically overnight and it became harmful to the head after drinking it.

It is said that the taste has changed drastically because people cannot afford imported malt and use domestic malt instead.

Whether this is true or not remains to be verified, but its decline is inevitable.

Wan Feng didn't remember clearly whether it went bankrupt around 2002 or 2003, but it was definitely not later than 2005.

Later on, the beer market in Hongya was occupied by Black Lion Chiron and Daxue.

In 2015, when driving from Hongya Second Ring Road through Miaoling in Xuling Town, you could still see the rusty beer tanks standing at the brewery.

In fact, the only connection between Wanfeng and the brewery is that he has drunk Hailanghua beer. There is really no other connection.

However, the director of the brewery gave Wan Feng face and agreed to Wan Feng's request after thinking for a few seconds.

Hongya Brewery doesn't really have this kind of agency system. The brewery's trucks carry beer and deliver it to each village and small shop.

This small shop unloads three boxes, and that small shop unloads five boxes. Not only is it troublesome, but it also wastes manpower and material resources, and the cars burn oil and wear out. A car that goes out to deliver beer often cannot deliver all the beer in the car in a day, and the fuel money alone is an astronomical figure in a year.

Wan Feng's proposal suddenly enlightened the brewery director. That's right! If each township set up one or two distributors, the brewery could deliver beer directly to the distributors. This would save a lot of money over the year.

The money saved on gas alone is enough to cover several months of corruption.

The brewery director had just celebrated the Chinese New Year and was in high spirits after eating and drinking well. He immediately called a meeting with the brewery's senior management and sales staff to discuss the feasibility of this method.

Soon a plan was put forward and implemented.

After Wan Feng obtained the agency rights for the Wulu Town beer brewery, he immediately notified Xu Meilin.

After Yingrong got the agency rights of Wulu Town from Wanfeng, she immediately started buying a house with the 200,000 yuan borrowed from her brother.

The first thing she did was to buy the two stores that Wan Feng asked her to buy.

Just as Wan Feng had calculated, the store here was indeed 800 yuan per square meter, and Li Quan gave a discount of 50 yuan per square meter.

The total area is 105 square meters.

In addition to the warehouse area that he was supposed to be allocated, Yingrong bought an additional 80 square meters of warehouse.

Adding the ten square meters of warehouse that should be allocated, there will be a ninety square meter warehouse.

The warehouse is 310 square meters and cost 24,000 yuan, plus the store cost 75,000 yuan, so the total cost is 100,000 yuan.

The height of the store is 3.5 meters, which is enough to build a second floor with a height of 1.67 meters for living, and use the lower floor as a kitchen and bathroom.

This is how Yingrong designed it. They had no house in Jiangwei, so they bought this store and carved out a three-meter section in one of the stores to use as temporary housing.

Therefore, after paying the money, I immediately called the decoration company to build the second floor.

At the same time, we invited people to build mobile homes and erected a 150-square-meter colored steel shed in front of the door.

This is for unloading cement.

Wan Feng personally visited the site of the prefabricated steel shed used to store cement after get off work to provide some guidance.

He has experience with this stuff.

The preservation of cement requires careful attention. It cannot be placed on the ground, especially when stored outdoors like this.

It is best to put a thick moisture-proof mat underneath, which can be a thick wooden board or dry bricks and stones.

The shed must not leak rain and must be well ventilated.

A week later, the second floor and the cement shed were completed, and the family officially moved in.

Of course, the telephone must be installed, otherwise how can you know who will want the goods?

I spent 7,000 yuan to buy a relatively large tricycle at the Wahou Machinery Factory to deliver goods.

The 70 motorcycles produced by the Wahou Machinery Factory have long been discontinued, but the tricycles have not stopped.

It cost another 25,000 yuan to buy a tricycle and build a two-story color steel shed.

You Shuiping still has 75,000 yuan in his hand for purchasing goods.

The first thing that arrived was not beer but cement. Hongya Yishui delivered 30 tons of cement in the first batch.

Fifteen tons each of 325 and 425 cement.

The price of 325 cement delivered here is 141 tons, and the price of tons shipped out is 165, and the retail price is 9 yuan per bag.

425 cement is 20 yuan more expensive per ton than 325. The price of 425 cement exported in tons is 185 yuan per ton, and the retail price is 10 yuan per bag.

During this period, the brewery also ran advertisements on television, which meant that in the future, each township would implement an agent system for beer. Stores in each township would purchase beer from the township agents, and township breweries with agents would no longer deliver beer. At the same time, a number of townships that had implemented agents were announced.

Yingrong Store in Wulu Town is prominently listed.

The day after the cement arrived, the brewery sent a truckload of beer. A high-sided truck delivered 450 boxes at once.

The brewery delivered the beer in batches, two boxes for every 100 boxes, for a total of 459 boxes of beer.
