Although Xu Qingtai is quite knowledgeable, he was still shocked when he heard about 1,000 boxes of Maotai liquor.
The factory price was 4 yuan per bottle, and 1,000 boxes would cost yuan, which was definitely not a small amount in 1980, especially for individuals paying out of their own pockets.
But when he heard Chen Xia's last sentence, the guarantee that it would not flow into the market for 10 years, he immediately figured out the connection.
"Haha, it seems your family is very optimistic about the future of Maotai liquor, and is also optimistic about the social development of our country."
"My family believes that our country will only get better and better in the future, and people will become more and more prosperous. Maotai liquor has collection value."
"Okay, I'll take care of 1,000 cases of Moutai. I'll write you a receipt right away, but I can't offer a discount on the price. You'll have to handle the shipping yourself. How's that?"
Chen Xia was overjoyed. He didn't expect that he could get 1,000 boxes of Maotai liquor by having a minor appendectomy. If he had known this earlier, he wouldn't have put so much effort into it. It turns out that those who are reborn are all blessed with great luck.
"Thank you so much, Uncle Xu. But my parents said that they only want Maotai liquor produced this year and packaged in tissue paper."
"Haha, whatever you say. By the way, you're staying at the guesthouse, right? I'll treat you to a simple meal tonight."
Xu Qingtai quickly wrote a note, signed his name, and stamped it with his personal seal.
Chen Xia felt that what he had in his hand was not a note, but hundreds of millions of RMB. Even if he achieved nothing in the future, as long as he released some Maotai liquor regularly, it would be enough for him to be rich for the rest of his life.
In order to avoid any further complications, Chen Xia ran to the Maotai Distillery.
Xu Qingtai had already made a phone call and someone was there to receive him at the factory gate. He first went to the finance department to pay the money, and then took the receipt and release sheet to the warehouse to pick up the goods.
Because of Deputy Director Xu's face, the warehouse supervisor was also very considerate and specially allowed Chen Xia to enter the warehouse for a tour.
Because Xu Qingtai's note clearly stated that he only wanted Moutai produced in 1980, he asked Chen Xia to go and confirm it in person.
"Comrade Chen, look, this pile is produced in 1974, this one is produced in 1977, and the smallest one is produced in 1978. The Maotai liquor you asked for, produced in 1980, is at the back..."
"Hey, Manager Zhang, why is the packaging of this Moutai different?" Chen Xia pointed at the Moutai produced in 1978. He felt that an inspiration suddenly appeared in his mind, but he couldn't grasp it.
"It's a little different. Look, this one has a five-pointed star printed on the packaging. We in the industry jokingly call it the Three Revolutionary Maotai Liquors, but there aren't many of them."
"Three major revolutionary brands, local state-owned enterprises, and Dafeitian. Yes, that's it. The 1978 Maotai Liquor, the three major revolutionary brands, has even greater potential for appreciation than the 1980 Maotai Liquor. Oh, and there's also the 1976 Big Leaf Sunflower Maotai Liquor."
Chen Xia slapped his head and entered the Maotai liquor warehouse. He was like a mouse in a rice jar, wanting this and that. This feeling of wanting but not being able to get it was too painful for him.
Chen Xia took Manager Zhang's hand and, taking advantage of the fact that no one was around, took out two packs of cigarettes from her bag.
Manager Zhang became nervous when he saw it.
"Little brother, this won't do. This won't do. I dare not let you take an extra box of Maotai liquor. This is a mistake."
"No, no, Brother Zhang, you are my brother. Listen to me, I don't want to take more. I just want to exchange for a few boxes of Maotai liquor from other years. The total amount is still the same. Brother Zhang, please be flexible."
Manager Zhang's frayed nerves finally relaxed. He was a principled cadre; how could he allow anyone to withdraw Moutai at will? The number of cases on the receipt was the number of cases, not even one more.
But what's so difficult about exchanging a few boxes of Moutai liquor from other years?
This is also Chen Xia's assumption. This is the 1980 Maotai, far from the "I am the only one" aura of later generations. It is just an ordinary wine, just a little more expensive.
Chen Xia was not greedy. The stocks of Maotai liquor from 1976 and 1978 were not much. If he took them all at once today, Manager Zhang would probably not be able to pass the review.
And even if all of it was given to him, it would no longer circulate in the market, and no one would speculate on it in the future, so it would just be a waste of money.
The reason why Moutai liquor produced in 1976, 1978 and 1980 was sold at sky-high prices in later generations is that the packaging was rare, or is it because drinking Moutai liquor produced in these years can make people immortal?
To put it bluntly, it is the actions of some individuals and some capital, which is inconsistent with the actual value of Moutai.
So Chen Xia finally took 50 boxes each of the 1976, 1977 and 1978 vintages of Moutai, and the rest were all Moutai from the 1980 vintage.
Manager Zhang was very happy. It was just exchanging a few boxes of Maotai liquor, which was not a big deal. Besides, it was because of Deputy Director Xu's relationship, so of course he agreed.
Finally, we sent Buddha to the west and helped him transport the wine to a wasteland outside the town. We used several trucks to complete the task and delivered the wine to wherever he said.
After Chen Xia put all the Moutai liquor into the space hospital, the trip to Guizhou was successfully completed. 1,000 boxes of precious Moutai liquor were placed in the space hospital, directly filling up two rooms.
Chen Xia doesn't like drinking, his favorite is Fat House Happy Water.
But as long as a man is normal, how can he not love women and money?
All these Maotai liquors are money. Not to mention the money for a wife, I will even have money for a mistress in the future.
Chen Xia, who was in a good mood and could not hold his liquor well, was completely drunk at the banquet that night.
After waking up in the morning, Chen Xia kept cursing: "Who said that drinking Maotai liquor won't make you drunk and won't cause a headache after waking up? This soft article is so deceptive."
Suddenly he saw a girl clinging to the bed. Wait, a girl?
Chen Xia thought she was hallucinating because she wasn't awake yet. The only girl who could possibly care for her, besides her sister, was Gu Lin. But wasn't Gu Lin in Yuezhou? Was she hallucinating because she missed her so much?
Chen Xia was lost in thought as he gently reached out his hand and touched her hair. The girl suddenly raised her head.
"Chen Xia, you're awake!"
It’s Xu Yuan.
No matter how stupid Chen Xia was, he knew that Xu Yuan must have a good impression of him, which made him a little confused.
Because the status of the two is so different, Xu Yuan's future marriage is not decided by her. She must find a lover from a well-off family, and it is absolutely impossible for him to be an ordinary worker in a small city in the 18th tier.
Just like Lin Danqiu’s identity is not simple.
The reason why he couldn't even think of resisting was not because he was inferior, but because he was afraid that he would fall in love in the future but still get no results.
Chen Xia suddenly thought of his wife in his previous life. She was beautiful and well-matched with him, but her marriage was still on the verge of breaking up. For a moment, Chen Xia was a little confused.
