Chapter 20 Moutai
This topic was actually provoked by Hao Guoqing.
Although he also knew that under the auspices of Liu Weidong, the first ceramic factory had introduced a set of advanced German second-hand production lines, but because he had been avoiding Liu Weidong, he had no chance to learn more about Liu Weidong.
Since he took the initiative to come to the door today, and saw the trend of his baby son evolving from a cold learner to a licking dog, at this time, he didn't take this opportunity to learn more about how to introduce this set of German second-hand production lines to Liu Weidong, wouldn't it be a big loss?
After all, as the leader of Xiangyangpo clay mine, Hao Guoqing is also excited about the dream of advanced imported equipment in his heart. Although the form of Xiangyangpo clay mine is very poor now, and it is extremely difficult to maintain normal operation, Hao Guoqing firmly believes that these difficulties are only temporary, and only when the domestic demand for clay raw clinker picks up, Xiangyangpo clay mine will definitely restore the glory of the star enterprise in Tianbei City.
Well, this is the industrial people of Huaxia in the 80s, who even dreamed of such a humble dream, and the ultimate ideal was only to find a way to build a set of second-hand imported equipment for the enterprise, as for the brand-new imported equipment, it was unthinkable.
Facing Hao Guoqing's urging, Liu Weidong was not in a hurry, he said with a smile: "Guoqing, what are you in a hurry? This matter cannot be finished in three or five minutes, wait for the food to be delivered, let's talk while eating, it will not be a short time." ”
Maybe it was because he was worried that he would really be complained to the leader, in short, after Xie Hongxia slapped the table, the service efficiency of the Overseas Chinese Hotel was greatly improved, and it only took ten minutes, and the two tables of wine and food inside and outside were all served. If it is changed to usual, it will not take thirty or forty minutes, and these dishes will not be ready.
Hao Guoqing saw that it was a bottle of Moutai, and he was not calm at once.
In recent years, the price of Moutai has skyrocketed. In 1985, the state-approved retail price of 53° Moutai was still 7 yuan per bottle, but last year, the state-approved retail price had risen to 128 yuan per bottle, and this year, that is, in 1988, the state-approved retail price had risen to 140 yuan per bottle.
And Hao Guoqing's monthly salary is just over 120 yuan. This meal is not counting the cost of the dishes, just a bottle of wine will cost him more than a month's salary, even if Liu Weidong pays out of his pocket, it also makes Hao Guoqing feel liver pain and stomach pain.
"Weidong, what are you doing? Our own people, how can we use expensive wine?" Hao Guoqing beckoned the waiter over and said to him, "Withdraw Moutai and replace it with a bottle of Zhang Gong." ”
At this time, although the well-known advertising slogan of "East, West, South, North, South, Good Wine in Zhanggong" has not yet come out, Zhanggong Liquor is the first brand of liquor in Tianzhong Province has been unshakable. Drinking Zhang Gong wine in the Overseas Chinese Hotel is definitely not a drop in points!
"You don't need to change it, just Moutai!" Liu Weidong stretched out his hand to stop the waiter and said to Hao Guoqing, "National Day, you are eating at the Overseas Chinese Hotel for the first time, right?"
Hao Guoqing's old face flushed and nodded.
Although it is said that the Overseas Chinese Hotel in Tianbei City opened two years ago, this is indeed the first time he has eaten at the Overseas Chinese Hotel. The reason is very simple, Xiangyangpo clay mine has no import and export business, and he Hao Guoqing has no overseas relations, and there is no channel to get overseas Chinese remittance coupons or foreign exchange coupons, so naturally he can't step into the threshold of overseas Chinese hotels.
"Hehe," Liu Weidong explained to Hao Guoqing with a smile: "This bottle of Moutai does cost 140 yuan to buy outside, but it only costs 8 yuan to spend in the Overseas Chinese Hotel." ”
"Eight yuan, so cheap?" Hao Guoqing opened his mouth in disbelief.
"I'm going to lie to you. Liu Weidong stretched out his hand and pointed at the waiter and said to him, "You come and tell Mine Chief Hao whether the price of Moutai here is eight yuan a bottle." ”
"Yes, yes, Mine Chief Hao, our Moutai here is indeed eight yuan a bottle. The waiter said, but he secretly laughed in his heart that Hao Weidong, the mine manager, was a special bun.
It is true that the price of Moutai in the Overseas Chinese Hotel is eight yuan per bottle, but a bottle of Moutai, in addition to the eight yuan yuan, must also add 120 overseas Chinese remittance coupons.
According to the exchange price of overseas Chinese remittance coupons on the black market at this time, one overseas Chinese remittance coupon is exchanged for one yuan yuan, and one hundred and twenty overseas Chinese remittance coupons is one hundred and twenty yuan, plus the selling price of eight yuan, it costs about 128 yuan to buy a bottle of Moutai liquor in the Overseas Chinese Hotel, which is still cheaper than the retail price of 140 yuan approved by the state.
What's more, for state-run sugar, tobacco and liquor companies and department stores, even if the price of Moutai is as high as 140 yuan, it is still available in limited quantities, and it is difficult for ordinary people to buy slips without trusting them. However, overseas Chinese hotels do not have this restriction, as long as you have overseas Chinese remittance coupons or foreign exchange coupons, you can buy Moutai liquor.
Hao Guoqing is a straight-hearted, he didn't expect that the waiter would join forces with Liu Weidong to deceive him, and subconsciously thought that the price of Moutai was eight yuan foreign exchange coupons.
The eight-yuan foreign exchange coupon, even if exchanged at the black market price, is only worth 24 yuan. Based on his relationship with Liu Weidong, although a bottle of wine of 24 yuan is still a little expensive, it is not impossible to drink.
Even Hao Guoqing thought a little carefully in his heart: Since the Moutai liquor in the Overseas Chinese Hotel is so cheap, can he also consider exchanging some foreign exchange coupons on the black market, come to the Overseas Chinese Hotel to buy a few bottles of Moutai and put them at home, and when there are any important guests at home, he can arrange a pomp and take out the Moutai wine to entertain?
Seeing that Hao Guoqing no longer objected, Liu Weidong opened the Moutai wine, starting from Hao Guoqing, and poured wine for Hao Guoqing, Wang Daojun and the two section chiefs of Caifeng Ceramics in turn.
Hao Shuang looked at it from the side and sighed secretly, the atmosphere of the eighties is still simple!
When Liu Weidong, a deputy director, poured wine for Wang Daojun and the two section chiefs, the three of them didn't seem to have any sincere reactions, but were peaceful. If it was changed to his previous life, even if the two section chiefs of Caifeng Ceramics did not diligently snatch the task of pouring wine from Liu Weidong's hands, they would at least stand up and thank the director in fear when Liu Weidong poured them wine, right?
After Liu Weidong poured wine for Hao Guoqing and Wang Daojun, he reached out to take the wine glass in front of Hao Shuang and prepared to pour him wine.
Hao Shuang didn't say anything here, but Liu Shasha was quick-eyed, snatched the wine glass in front of Hao Shuang, and said to Liu Weidong: "Dad, you just drink with Uncle Hao, don't harm Hao Shuang, okay?"
"It's all up to you!" Liu Weidong shook his head helplessly, put down the wine bottle, picked up the wine glass, and said to Hao Guoqing, Wang Daojun and the two section chiefs: "Guoqing, Lao Wang, let's go first." ”
