Chapter 256: Sui Jianguo and the Distillery

Sunday at three o'clock in the afternoon!

Xie Bing drove his car and drove Chen Houde to Sui Jianguo's winery.

Sui Jianguo didn't know about the arrival of the two. I was not going to tell Sui Jianguo, because Chen Houde wanted to convert the account into shares, so he wanted to come over to see the situation of the factory, and if he felt that it could be operated, then talk to Sui Jianguo about the "account to shares", and then inject capital to save the winery.

Sui Jianguo's distillery is located in the east of Pudong in Shencheng, at the mouth of the Yangtze River, not far from Dongluowan.

Pudong New Area is a key development area in the city, although the current geographical location is a bit out of the way, not an absolute city center, but the area around the factory has changed very much in the past one or two years. What commercial real estate, bus line development, including the branch of famous schools, are concentrated little by little here.

So, the outlook here is very good, and there are more opportunities here than in the already saturated urban area.

Xie Bing drove the car to the outer courtyard of the winery and stopped. Then he got out of the car with Chen Houde.

The two of them walked around the outside of the distillery before heading inside.

Chen Houde came today for two purposes, the first is to secretly investigate, trying to find out the reason why the distillery is facing bankruptcy and see if there is any chance of saving. The second is to come and see the geographical location and appreciation space of the winery.

There was no security guard on duty at the gate of the distillery, so Chen Houde and the liberation soldiers swaggered inside.

As soon as Chen Houde walked into the distillery, he smelled a rich and fragrant smell of liquor, wafting out along a factory.

Chen Houde looked at the winery with his back hand, and saw that the surrounding factories were very old, which was in stark contrast to the surrounding high-rise buildings and commercial buildings, and looked out of place.

At first glance, the brewery looks like a building built in the 90s, and after years of wind and rain, except for a little bit of age texture, the rest is all tattered red brick walls, white iron sheets, iron shelves and other products of the era.

"Just one workshop is still working, it seems that this Sui Jianguo is really running out of water. Xie Bing looked at a factory building more than ten meters long in the distance, frowned and said.

Because this one factory has obviously been renovated, most of the remaining factories are leaking on all sides.

"The wine tastes pretty good!" Chen Houde sniffed with his nose and said.

"What's the use of good wine. It's not the same as facing bankruptcy. Xie Bing said disapprerovingly.

"If we want to convert the account into shares, we will inject capital to revive the winery. The quality of the wine is the key, you know?" explained Chen Houde as he began to wander around the winery.

"Then do you think this winery can be saved?" Xie Bing asked as he followed closely beside Chen Houde.

"The quality of this wine is fine, but whether it can be sold or not is part of the operation, and part of the luck. But I don't know much about how it works, but here

Just superficial stuff. We'll have to keep looking. ”

Chen Houde and Xie Bing walked and chatted as they walked to the door of a two-story office building.

This two-storey building is the tallest building in the entire brewery!

"Do you want to go in and meet this Sui Jianguo?" Xie Bing proposed.

Chen Houde nodded and said, "Since you are here, then you will be this Sui Jianguo, and I still want to know more about the winery." ”

As soon as Chen Houde finished speaking, he walked to the office building first. Seeing this, Xie Bing also walked in.

The two came to the second floor unimpeded, and Chen Houde and Xie Bing met a middle-aged woman, and then Xie Bing greeted with a smile: "Sister-in-law, hello!"

The middle-aged woman is round and plump, and her clothes are plain. As soon as he saw Xie Bing's face, he changed unnaturally, and said in an unkind tone: "Why are you here again? We really have no money, do you have to force us to death, are you willing?"

As soon as Xie Bing wanted to explain, Chen Houde spoke first: "You misunderstood, we didn't come here today to ask for money." ”

"It's not asking for money, so why are you here?" The middle-aged woman obviously didn't believe what Chen Houde said.

Chen Houde smiled and said in a gentle tone: "We came here today to talk to Director Sui about a business. ”

"Talk about business, talk about business? We're a winery, there's no business you want to talk about. The middle-aged woman didn't believe what Chen Houde said, and hurriedly began to pick people up.

Chen Houde naturally knew the middle-aged woman's thoughts, and patiently explained: "We understand your financial situation and know that you don't have the money to repay this account now. That's why we came here to talk about a deal with Director Sui, and as long as the business is negotiated, this account will naturally not be a problem. ”

"Really here to talk about business, what kind of business?" the middle-aged woman asked, incredulous.

"Sister-in-law, we're really here to talk about business. Is Director Sui here? We have to talk to Director Sui about this. Xie Bing spoke.

The middle-aged woman hesitated for a moment, but finally came to Sui Jianguo's office with Chen Houde and the liberation soldiers.

When Chen Houde and the soldiers first walked into Sui Jianguo's office, Sui Jianguo was chatting with several workers in winery uniforms, and when he saw Chen Houde and the soldiers coming in, Sui Jianguo was very surprised.

Then he asked the workers to go down to work, and he enthusiastically invited Chen Houde and the two soldiers to sit down on chairs.

And Sui Jianguo's wife, the middle-aged woman who brought Chen Houde and the others in, was also sent out by Sui Jianguo.

Sui Jianguo brewed two cups of tea without any tea leaves, put them in front of Chen Houde and the soldiers, and went straight to the point: "Listen to Gui Fang, the two of you came to talk to me about business?"

Gui Fang is Sui Jianguo's wife, surnamed Tang. That is, the middle-aged woman who brought Chen Houde in.

Sui Jianguo looked at it

He was in his fifties, slightly hunchbacked, with a middle-part hair, and dressed a little scruffy, not at all like the dress of a winery owner.

"Indeed, Director Sui, let me introduce to you, this is the person in charge of our Rouge Building in Yangpu District, Chen Houde. Xie Bing stood up and introduced Sui Jianguo.

"Hello! Chen Houde also stood up and stretched out his hands.

"Hello! I didn't expect the person in charge of Yangpu District of Rouge Building to be so young. It's really young and promising. Sui Jianguo hurriedly shook Chen Houde's outstretched hands and complimented.

"Director Sui is polite. I'm a junior, you can call me Houde or Xiaode. Chen Houde let go of his hand and said politely.

"Then I will rely on the old and sell the old, and call you virtuous, sit, sit. Sui Jianguo motioned for Chen Houde to sit down, then walked to the opposite chair and sat down, and continued: "I don't know what business you came to talk to me about?"

Chen Houde smiled and replied, "What kind of liquor does this distillery produce?"

"Sauce-flavored liquor, called Shencheng Xiaoqu. This Shencheng Xiaoqu was once praised as Little Moutai by people with good intentions, and it has also won many awards. Sui Jianguo said proudly.

"It seems that this winery still has a glorious history. Chen Houde sighed and asked curiously: "Director Sui took the liberty to ask, then why did the distillery fall to the field it is today?"

"Alas!" Sui Jianguo sighed and said, "At the beginning, I privately contracted this distillery from the government, and the workers of the distillery pooled money to help me buy it out. This person, I can't be ungrateful, maybe it's because my management model is backward and my marketing methods are too traditional, which is why the distillery is facing this situation. ”

The reason why Sui Jianguo's distillery is facing the situation of imminent bankruptcy is indeed because of his backward management model, traditional marketing methods and bloated institutions.

But the most important thing is that he knows this situation, and he does not change it, because of his face and feelings, he is unwilling to lay off employees and reduce the burden, and he has survived by borrowing money until now. As the saying goes, success is also a worker, and defeat is also a worker.

"If you know the reason, why don't you change it?" asked Chen Houde, who was a little puzzled.

"Hehe" Sui Jianguo smiled helplessly: "Change? I want to change, but the first step of change is to lay off employees and reduce the burden." How can you let me do it?"

Sui Jianguo's words surprised Chen Houde, and he couldn't help but feel Sui Jianguo's feelings in his heart. It is not an exaggeration to describe Sui Jianguo's grace of dripping water and the reciprocity of springs.

"It seems that you are not a qualified businessman, let alone a pure businessman, but you are a respectable person. Chen Houde said with emotion and continued: "If you want to save the winery, you must be reborn with a broken arm, and the personnel must be reorganized, or you can only watch it go out of business." ”
