In fact, people in Kyoto prefer medium-strength and low-strength baijiu.
Yu Bing and Zhang Liguo simply do not have the technology to blend medium-strength and low-strength baijiu.
This blending is not the kind used to make counterfeit alcohol.
Rather, the alcohol content of the brewed liquor needs to be adjusted according to requirements.
Yu Bing and Zhang Liguo both learned traditional brewing methods. They knew nothing about industrial brewing equipment and management.
They're just a small distillery, producing only small quantities of wine. Allowing them to produce large quantities would easily lead to problems, let alone using proper brewing equipment.
Sending them to a brewery to make wine and manage a factory would be a complete waste of their talents.
They simply don't have the necessary skills, and the resulting problems are difficult to control.
If Liu Chao's brewery didn't lose money because of these two people, Song Yan would have to admit that Liu Chao was God's son.
It's unclear whether Liu Chao was particularly smooth-talking, or whether Yu Qiang and Zhang Liguo exaggerated their abilities.
Yu Qiang and Zhang Guoli became the technical backbone of the winery.
Song Yan asked Cheng Youfu to observe how the brewery operated.
Liu Chao and Liang Hui, it seems Liang Hui is quite capable.
This brewery occupies a very good piece of land.
Moreover, this land is not leased; it belongs to the brewery.
What Song Yan really wanted was this piece of land.
Let's take over this brewery and buy the land while we're at it.
This piece of land has many potential uses, and its future appreciation potential alone is enough to make people drool.
The location of this land may seem average now, but it might not be so in the future.
Why not acquire this land, a sure-fire investment?
Sure enough, their first batch of wine had problems.
Freshly brewed baijiu is best left to ferment for a few months before drinking. This not only improves the taste but also helps remove other flavors, such as the taste of the yeast.
Song Yan's wine can be taken out and drunk after a short time because she put it in her spatial storage, or she simply replaced it.
When Cheng Youfu was recruiting at Liu Chao's winery, he put one of his own people in there, so it wasn't hard to find out about them.
Liu Chao tasted the brewed wine and flew into a rage.
The yeast in the liquor was too strong, and it was also extremely bitter.
Normally, wine does have a slightly bitter taste, but it disappears quickly. In fact, this bitterness can enhance the flavor.
However, if it always tastes bitter or is too bitter, then that's not normal.
This batch of grain is 1,000 jin, plus labor and water and electricity.
Now their winery is only taking in customers and not selling them.
"Sister, Liu Chao was originally just a factory worker. When the factory was doing poorly, he decided to go into business on his own."
His family didn't do any business.
His brother-in-law, Liang Hui, became the leader of a state-owned food factory.
He spent over 20,000 yuan last time to get Yu Bing and Zhang Liguo out.
He must have bribed those two people to join him.
Now they've set up this winery.
I heard the equipment was purchased on credit.
But buying land and hiring workers both require cash, right?
"Where did they get so much money? Could Liang Hui have embezzled it?" Cheng Youfu wondered.
The investigation needs to be conducted by Shi Junbao or Wen Dajun.
These two people are not ones he can order around.
Song Yan was very pleased; Cheng Youfu was indeed growing.
Not long after, news came from the distillery again.
Their first batch of wine, even after sitting for over a month, still tasted terrible.
The second batch of wine has been produced.
When the second batch of wine was fermenting, the workers noticed that the raw materials had all changed color.
And it smelled musty.
Then this batch of wine must have failed to be brewed successfully again.
It's a minor issue if the wine doesn't sell; the real problem is that they might sell the entire batch.
Song Yan speculated that their brewing process for baijiu was seriously substandard, which may have caused excessive levels of formaldehyde and methanol, or produced other harmful substances.
But a winery is such a large operation; brewing wine requires grain, and workers need to be paid wages.
Even with such a bottle of wine, Liu Chao still had it bottled.
Since being betrayed by Yu Bing, Cheng Youfu has become more interested in the brewing industry. Gradually, he has learned a great deal about it.
Cheng Youfu: "Sister, do you think this kind of wine could kill someone?"
"Drinking this kind of wine can kill people." If the brewing process goes wrong, many harmful substances will be present. It's to be expected that it will cause poisoning and death.
"If the wine they sell kills someone, their winery will definitely go out of business."
But I think I should still try to report them.
Otherwise, selling this kind of wine would really kill people! Then...
"We're not in a hurry as long as the distillery doesn't go bankrupt. As long as they operate this way, we'll be able to buy it sooner or later." Cheng Youfu asked Song Yan for his opinion.
Factories like theirs lack both technology and capital. If an accident occurs, they're bound to go bankrupt.
Cheng Youfu could easily acquire the factory and land.
However, he acknowledged that even if it took some effort, he didn't want anyone to die.
Song Yan was very pleased. Doing business requires ruthlessness and determination, but not unscrupulous means.
"Okay, you handle it!"
If we find anything amiss, we need to find someone right away!
We're not without people!
Moreover, our business requires a steady and pragmatic approach; there's no need for rashness or taking risks!
"We absolutely will not touch gray income that skirts the edge of the law." Song Yan warned Cheng Youfu on this point, and he did the same for Xiao Hu.
