When Chen Xia walked downstairs, his mother-in-law and grandmother Chen Fang were picking vegetables, complaining while picking vegetables.
"You said you were old, and instead of retiring early to help raise your grandchildren, you became a deputy commissioner. What's so good about being a deputy commissioner? You're busy every day, and you can't even go home to a peaceful place."
Chen Zijin also helped to pick vegetables, and Chen Zigu stepped on the vegetable basin and overturned it, causing everyone to be in a mess again.
Chen Xia shook his head, made a cup of tea, and walked into the study.
The study on the first floor is now occupied exclusively by Deputy Commissioner Gu. It is filled with books and several of his favorite calligraphy works.
Chen Xia turned on the light as soon as he entered the room. Seeing his father-in-law smoking, he felt amused.
Gu Lin was holding her little daughter and looking around at the door. Chen Xia saw her and waved his hand, asking her to close the door tightly.
"Dad, come and have some tea. This is top-grade Longjing tea. It cost me a lot of money."
Old Man Gu smiled when he heard it, picked up the teacup and smelled it:
"Hmm, it smells so good! It seems like having money is a good thing. If our government had that much money, many things would be much easier to handle."
Chen Xia burst out laughing:
"Hey, back then you always said I only cared about money and was so bold as to engage in speculation for the sake of money. Now that you're a deputy commissioner, in charge of the purse strings, you know the benefits of money, right?"
"Alright, alright, you're here to laugh at me."
"Dad, I'm not here to laugh at you today, but to give you a big gift."
"Go, go, we're family, why give me a gift?"
"Really? You're a new official, and you haven't started anything yet. How can you be so unlucky? How about I help you start all three?"
Gu Wei became interested when he heard this. Although this son-in-law often did things without thinking, he never lied.
Moreover, after so many years, he had already realized that although Chen Xia did things without any method at the time, after a few years, he could find that he had actually been planning it early on, and the things that seemed brainless at the time were actually well-planned.
Now that his son-in-law suddenly proposed to help him, the deputy commissioner in charge of economics, with some new things to do, he immediately became anxious and worried.
"Really? Okay, then tell me, I've been having a real headache lately."
"Dad, let's start with this. You can start the rice wine business. I own a Dongjiang rice wine factory, which specializes in producing Shiquan Bu Shen wine. Its sales are booming right now, but the production capacity limits our sales.
So I plan to start purchasing large quantities of rice wine from outside this year. If nothing goes wrong, I can buy all the rice wine in the entire Yuezhou area. With such a large number of orders, do you think all the rice wine factories in Yuezhou will be revived?"
Gu Wei's eyes lit up when he heard this. "Why don't you buy up all the rice wine factories that are about to go bankrupt? That would help me solve a big problem."
Chen Xia shook his head helplessly:
“I have also thought about acquiring all of them, but I cannot do it for the time being because I don’t have many management talents. If I cannot assign people to manage the acquired companies directly, the wineries will still be eaten away by termites and go bankrupt.
So my idea is that I will give you the order quota, and you can give it to any rice wine factory you want, whether it is a state-owned winery or a private winery. Anyway, I will purchase it at the market price and I will not take care of other things.
By the time the order is in your hands, do you think your words as Deputy Commissioner will be effective? Not to mention the small wineries, even the two local bosses, Xifeng Winery and Longshan Winery, will have to come to you, Commissioner Gu, for help.
Gu Wei was delighted when he heard this.
"Okay, okay, this is called killing a chicken to scare the monkeys. Whoever obeys will get something sweet, and whoever doesn't will just have to wait for bankruptcy. Xiao Xia, you're really helping me a lot. This way, the rice wine industry will find a way out."
Shiquan Bushen Wine is now popular in the Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai regions.
Firstly, there is rice wine with sildenafil added, so the therapeutic effect is absolutely amazing. Being a bridegroom every night is no longer a dream at all.
The second marketing of the Ten-Ingredient Kidney-Nourishing Wine was so aggressive that it allowed hospitals to earn almost double the profits and then gave kickbacks to doctors. This viral marketing campaign quickly took over Zhijiang Province and moved towards the Yangtze River Delta.
Even hospitals in many provinces across the country have contacted us to request supplies. The national health system is like a chess game. Everyone would be jealous when they see someone eating meat, right?
However, the output of Dongjiang Distillery is limited. Even after acquiring several other small distilleries in Ke Town, the output still cannot meet the demand.
Chen Xia did think about acquiring all the rice wine factories in Yuezhou, but later had to give up because the rice wine factories were too scattered. Three counties under Yuezhou all produced rice wine, and almost every town had a winery. How could they be managed?
He doesn't have a management team now. All the cousins from Qingfeng Village have entered the pharmaceutical factory, and it is too late to train those young cousins.
You can't just buy up those wineries and then leave the factory managers and workers as is? Come on, they're not pushovers. If you don't take action, they'll just take everything from you.
Chen Xia wants to control the rice wine industry. The best way at the moment is to purchase. I will give you orders, and so many of your wineries rely on our orders to survive.
Whoever disobeys will have their orders stopped. This is just like drug addiction. Without orders, the winery will die immediately. Then no one can replace Dongfeng Winery, the leader of the rice wine industry.
One day, Chen Xia had his own team, and that was when he acquired many rice wine factories in Yuezhou and unified the industry.
The rice wine factory got into trouble not because of its poor technology, but because it did not have enough orders.
This is mainly due to Xifeng Winery and Longshan Winery, the two local tyrants in the rice wine industry. Since the introduction of automated production lines, the production of rice wine has suddenly exploded.
However, due to the lack of technology and funds, other wineries in Yuezhou still mainly produce handmade wines. How can they compete with them?
There is a big difference in taste between handmade wine and machine-brewed wine, but outsiders can't tell the difference. They only recognize the brand and think that famous brands must be the best.
The domestic rice wine cake is so small, and the two rice wine giants have eaten up most of the cake. So many small and medium-sized wineries in Yuezhou can only get a small portion, and it would be strange if they don’t go bankrupt.
Gu Lin quietly hid outside the door. Seeing her father's mood change from gloomy to cheerful, she immediately gave her husband a thumbs up happily.
Chen Xia proudly raised his chin towards her with an expression that said, "It's all my responsibility."
Old Man Gu couldn't wait to ask, "How are you going to help me light the second fire?"
"The second fire is the Pumpkin Vine Pharmaceutical Factory. We plan to expand investment and add production lines. We already have 15 production lines, and we plan to invest in building 20 more production lines."
Old Man Gu’s eyes became brighter and brighter.
