Chapter 300: Buying a Distillery
Time is like a quiet flowing river, silently disappearing, at first glance, Xia Mu found that he and Li Yan have known each other for nearly a year, and everything is like yesterday.
Speaking of this year, Li Yan felt a lot of emotion in his heart.
During this time, he went from an ordinary college student who couldn't be more ordinary, gorgeously counterattacked into a rich man with a net worth of more than 100 million, lived in a mansion, and became a big boss. is about to marry Bai Fumei and go to the peak of life.
Walking and walking, Xia Mu suddenly said: "Li Yan, I heard Xiaolin say that you have never been in love in college, should you want to go on a blind date show to find one in the future?"
Li Yan's eyebrows moved slightly, and he secretly scolded Lao Wang for his big mouth, saying everything outside, Zhao Xiaolin must have heard these from his mouth.
Li Yan could feel that Xia Mu had a good impression of himself. Otherwise, he would not have accepted the invitation and agreed to come to the house as a guest.
Sometimes, when the relationship is constantly broken, it will be chaotic, and Li Yan doesn't want it to drag on for a long time and hurt Xia Mu.
Ponder for a moment. He said: "Although I didn't have an emotional experience in college, I had a girlfriend in high school, and she was forced to break up after high school because of her family's opposition, but we got back together some time ago. The last time I was assassinated by a gunman on the street, she blocked a shot for me. ”
Xia Mu was taken aback, and subconsciously covered her mouth, she didn't know that Li Yan had also experienced this kind of danger, and admired that girl's courage even more, if she didn't love someone very much, how could she block the gun for him.
Of course, she was a little lost in her heart, and she could hear from Li Yan's tone that he already had a heart, and it was also a disguised rejection of her.
Xia Mu was silent for two minutes, she really wanted to meet the brave girl, and asked, "Is your girlfriend also at Funing University?"
Li Yan shook her head slightly: "She is in Jiangnan Normal University, speaking of which, your experience is quite similar, she was also born in a big family, and the family forced her to marry the son-in-law of another family, she insisted on disagreeing, and she has been dealing with the family for three or four years, and now her family elders have canceled the marriage." ”
Hearing this, Xia Mu was even more interested. Yin Xiaoya's situation is indeed very similar to her, and in the end, she succeeded in the struggle, which gave her great encouragement.
But soon her eyes became dim, and she smiled bitterly: "The reason why the elders of her family are willing to fulfill you is mainly because of your achievements now, in general, your girlfriend is luckier than me to find a boyfriend like you." ”
Li Yan agreed with what Xia Mu said, nodded and said: "She and I are lucky, but I believe that you will also find the person you like as you wish, don't be sad, people don't all say that girls who love to laugh are often not bad." ”
"If you're unlucky, you can't laugh, so I can only borrow your good words. Xia Mu pursed his lips and said.
Approaching evening, the two returned to the riverside villa, and Zhang Cuilan had already prepared a full table of meals.
She is very satisfied with Xia Mu, and hopes that her son can embrace the beauty as soon as possible, and as the elder of the family, she will leave a good impression on the woman as much as possible.
Had dinner. Li Yan was sent out to walk the dog, while Zhang Cuilan pulled Xia Mu to chat about family life, wanting to have a deeper understanding.
I don't know what the two said, but when Li Yan came back from walking the dog, Zhang Cuilan grabbed his ears and dragged him into the room.
"Mom, there are still guests here, you save me some face, do we have something to say?" Li Yan said with a sad face.
Zhang Cuilan let go of her hand, crossed her waist and said: "Xia Mu told me just now, you have a girlfriend in high school, and you have never told your family, you have done a good job of confidentiality!"
"I...; …; I didn't want to surprise you. Li Yanpi said with a smile.
"Surprise?" Zhang Cuilan raised her eyebrows: "Then you should tell me, when can you bring people back to your mother?"
"Well...; …; I will definitely take her home after the year, originally she wanted to celebrate the New Year in our family, and it happened that the elders of the family would celebrate their 70th birthday. Li Yan replied stubbornly.
Hearing him say this, Zhang Cuilan finally felt relieved and didn't have to worry about her son's life's events.
On the morning of the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, Li Yan had just had breakfast when he received a call from Zhang Zhaoyang, inviting him to Tianquan Distillery for a "visit".
The name of visiting is actually to calculate the price of the winery, as long as the price is acceptable, Zhang Zhaoyang is more inclined to sell to Li Yan.
Tianquan Distillery is not very far from the riverside villa, about a fifteen minute walk, because beer sales are not good. The factory has been shut down for a while, with only two or three caretakers.
Walking into the warehouse with Li Yan, Zhang Zhaoyang sighed: "Today's consumers only pay attention to brand awareness, and small brands of wine are becoming more and more difficult to mix in the market. ”
casually picked up a bottle and opened it, Li Yan took two sips, and under the cold stimulation, the whole person became energetic.
Smash it, smash it, Li Yan nodded and smiled: "The taste is good, it's still the same taste back then, my dad has been a regular customer of Tianquan Beer in the early years, and later when he got older, he was forced by my mother to quit drinking and drank less." ”
"Under the impact of other brands of beer, there are not many old customers, and Tianquan beer is exported to all parts of the country in its most glorious period...; …;”
Speaking of this, Zhang Zhaoyang gradually lost his voice, and his demeanor became more gloomy, the hero didn't mention the courage of the year, and now the winery is going to be sold, and it doesn't make sense to mention those again.
The area of the distillery is not small, and there are many factories, so you can imagine the glory days of those years, but unfortunately everything is gone.
Pointing to the mountains in the distance. Zhang Zhaoyang said: "Our Tianquan Distillery is backed by Baiyang Mountain, and the water used for brewing wine is taken from mountain springs, so we can make such a refreshing wine." ”
"Is there a guarantee of hygiene when using mountain springs to make wine?" Li Yan frowned.
"Naturally, there will be no problems, and we have special personnel to do regular testing. Zhang Zhaoyang said.
Accompanied by him, Li Yan walked around the entire winery, and the wine-making equipment was quite well preserved, and he was generally satisfied.
"Boss Li, if I wasn't in a hurry to return the employees' wages and bank debts, I would never have sold my hard work. Buying this distillery for 10 million is not a loss. Zhang Zhaoyang said.
The price of 10 million is indeed not high, although this area is not in the center of the city, and the land is not very valuable, but now that the urbanization process is accelerating, it will not be able to develop here one day, and this land alone will be more than 10 million.
Of course, this kind of thing is not accurate, it may be developed in one or two years, or it may not be moved for ten or eight years, Li Yan has never thought about making money from land, he really needs a winery.
In addition to the land equipment, Zhang Zhaoyang promised that if Li Yan bought the distillery, the beer piled up in the warehouse would also belong to him. In terms of value, those wines alone are worth hundreds of thousands!
Li Yan is now in debt, from a "rich man" to a "negative tycoon", he has to spend money carefully, and he can't be too lavish.
Bowing his head and pondering for a moment, he said, "In this way, everyone takes a step back, and the price is nine million!"
Zhang Zhaoyang's psychological bottom line is eight million, and Li Yan's offer is one million higher than the bottom line, which is barely acceptable. It's better than selling six million to Zhou Chaoyang.
After signing the contract, Tianquan Distillery officially changed hands, and the original employees have basically left, and if they want to start work, they have to recruit again.
Transferring the money to Zhang Zhaoyang, Li Yan asked in a deep voice: "Boss Zhang, the distillery has been sold, I don't know what you plan to do next?"
Zhang Zhaoyang looked at the rusty iron gate, and his eyes showed confusion: "I don't have any plans for the time being, I founded Tianquan Beer for exactly 20 years, and now the distillery has changed hands, and I have no other ideas for a while, let's pay off the debt first." ”
"It's very rare that the factory has closed down, and you can still insist on paying employees, and now there are not many bosses like you. Li Yan said sincerely.
The word "lai" frequently appears in the news, many people are obviously able to repay their debts, but they don't pay back the money, and they try their best to transfer assets, Li Yan has heard a lot of this kind of thing, and there are fewer and fewer honest businessmen like Zhang Zhaoyang.
Holding a cigarette in his mouth, Zhang Zhaoyang handed one to Li Yan, and said with a wry smile: "Employees work for me, and it is natural for me to pay my salary, it is precisely because too many bosses run away with money, or deliberately default on wages, that people feel that my behavior is commendable, which is actually a very sad social phenomenon." ”
Li Yan waved his hand and signaled that he would not smoke.
Zhang Zhaoyang's words made him think deeply, after all, he is also the owner of two companies, and he is responsible for the thousands of employees under him.
If one day Rock Pharmaceutical and Fake Taste are also on the verge of bankruptcy, Li Yan doesn't know if he can face it as bravely as Zhang Zhaoyang.
