"remedy?"
Li Weidong paused for a moment: "There's no way to fix this kind of thing. It's like a gust of wind; you never know when it will blow away."
"But I'm not reconciled!" Ji Dahai said bitterly.
He has now sold all the wine in his warehouse to Li Weidong.
Despite such great news, he, a county-level Moutai distributor, couldn't reap any benefits.
Can he accept this?
Impossible!
"Brother Ji, don't regret it. If you really want to make amends, there are ways."
"What method?" Ji Dahai asked excitedly.
"Brother Ji, don't get excited. Let me ask you, what's the price of Five-Star Iron Cap Moutai now?"
"Around 150, that's an increase of about 15%."
"There's still room for it to rise. Go to the market and buy another batch."
Ji Dahai's voice suddenly turned resentful: "Brother Weidong, if I could still buy liquor, I wouldn't be calling you. Now the price of Moutai is rising day by day, and everyone is hoarding it and unwilling to sell it. They're all planning to make a fortune."
"Um... I see. Then you can collect them from the public."
"From the people?"
"Yes, it means buying directly from consumers. As long as it's genuine, it doesn't necessarily have to be Moutai; Wuliangye would be even better."
In the early 1990s, Wuliangye held a higher status than Moutai.
"Is this reliable? And wouldn't it be a lot of trouble?"
"If you find making money troublesome, then pretend I didn't say anything."
"No, no, Brother Weidong, please have a good talk with me. What should I do?" Ji Dahai was truly panicked today.
"It's very simple. You just need to recruit more people and go to the private sector to buy things... As long as it's genuine, you can buy it back. After all, not everyone reads newspapers these days, and not everyone knows that the price of Moutai is going to rise."
You can take advantage of this time difference to collect a large quantity of goods from the public, not just in Mengbei County, but in other areas as well. How much you can collect depends on your financial resources.
"Okay, I understand. I'll buy it and be able to resell it, right?" Ji Dahai said with some unease.
Li Weidong was taken aback when he heard him ask that question.
Isn't this standard procedure? Why is he acting like he's never heard of it before?
However, Li Weidong quickly figured it out.
Before the 1990s, the price of Moutai was very stable and it did not yet have financial attributes.
Since no one is speculating on Moutai liquor, naturally no one is willing to buy it back.
After figuring it out, Li Weidong didn't bother to explain anymore.
He said directly, "If you don't believe me, then pretend I didn't say anything."
"I believe you, how could I not? From today onwards, even if you call a deer a horse, I'll believe you." Ji Dahai now completely obeyed Li Weidong. "However, what's a reasonable price?"
"The current market price is 128, right? As long as the premium is no more than 50%, we can buy it back."
No more than 50%?
Ji Dahai finally understood the subtext of those words.
That means this price increase will definitely exceed 50%.
He was overjoyed: "I understand. I'll arrange the manpower as soon as I hang up the phone. Brother Weidong, thank you so much this time. With your words, I finally feel more confident."
"Hurry up and do it, the sooner the better. Also, remember to treat me to a drink when you make some money."
"Drinking? Of course, I'll treat you to some wine and women."
"Okay, then I'll wait."
...
After finishing his call with Ji Dahai, Li Weidong called Shen Xiaoyan again.
I told her I would be going to her shop later.
After making the call, Li Weidong took a shower, changed into some dry clothes, and prepared to go out.
But at that moment, my younger sister rushed out of the main room.
"Brother, where are you going?"
"Go into the city."
"Brother, take me with you!"
Li Xiaoli ran out of the house and prepared to climb into the carriage.
"I'm going inside to talk business, what are you doing there?" Li Weidong said with a stern face.
"Mother just spoke up, saying you're not allowed to flirt with those young widows in the city, and that I should keep an eye on you."
"..."
Li Weidong remained silent.
My mother tells my younger sister everything.
Besides, when did he start flirting with that young widow in the city?
...
At 3 p.m., Li Weidong arrived at Xiaoyan Restaurant.
The restaurant was at its quietest time of the day.
The shop assistants sat at the entrance, chatting and picking vegetables.
Upon seeing Li Weidong arrive, everyone quickly stood up and looked at him respectfully.
"Brother Li, you're here. Sister Xiaoyan is inside."
Since the last time Li Weidong single-handedly took on Liu Haizhu.
He then became an idol worshipped by everyone.
"knew."
Li Weidong walked into the store with practiced ease.
Just then, Shen Xiaoyan came down from upstairs.
She seemed to have dressed up specifically for this occasion.
Wearing a light purple cheongsam, her perfect figure was on full display.
She wore lipstick, making her look even more radiant than usual.
Li Weidong could vaguely see the shadow of the former richest woman in her: composure, confidence, radiance, and beauty.
"Wei Dong is here? Please come in and have a seat."
Shen Xiaoyan greeted Li Weidong with a smile, then turned to the girl next to her and said, "What are you standing there for? Hurry up and make some tea for your Brother Li. Use the best Jin Jun Mei tea."
The two of them randomly found a table and sat down.
Li Weidong had been here many times before, and he felt extremely relaxed, just like at home.
However, Li Xiaoli looked very nervous.
Like a rotating camera, it was constantly watching Shen Xiaoyan...
Ever since her mother told her about the downsides of marrying a widow, she hadn't liked Shen Xiaoyan as much.
"Wei Dong, this is today's newspaper."
Shen Xiaoyan handed several newspapers to Li Weidong.
Li Weidong glanced through it briefly.
I discovered that the above publications all carried news that the government was about to loosen its control over famous cigarettes and alcohol brands.
One of the newspapers featured expert predictions that the prices of famous cigarettes and liquors could rise by as much as 50%.
"Weidong, what do you think of the experts' comments? Can it really rise by 50%?"
"50? Don't listen to their nonsense... Experts are the most unreliable people."
"Huh?" Shen Xiaoyan frowned, thinking she had been happy for nothing.
But just then, Li Weidong said, "At the very least, it can double!"
"You, you scared me to death..."
Li Weidong's heavy breathing startled Shen Xiaoyan.
She stroked her chest with both hands, and the two ounces of tender flesh on her chest trembled! Her whole body exuded a charming mature allure.
Li Weidong stared at her, his eyes practically popping out of their sockets.
It's strange, really.
Shen Xiaoyan doesn't look fat at all...
But when it sways, it becomes exceptionally charming, like ripples on water.
