Chapter 0078: The Snake Swallows the Elephant
When Zeng Wei returned to Gudan from Jiangzhou a few days ago, the results of the high school entrance examination came out. Zeng Wei's total score was 740.5 points, ranking first in Xichuan Province.
Zeng Wei also saw his specific report card, 114 in Chinese, 120 in mathematics, 117 in English, 88 in physics, 59 in chemistry, 45 in politics, 48 in history, plus 49.5 in biology, 50 in geography and 50 in physical education.
In other words, Zeng Wei actually scored 591 points in the seven courses that really took the high school entrance examination with a score of 610. However, this is still the first place in the entire Xichuan Province, and the second place is only 578 points, 13 points lower than Zeng Wei, which is a huge gap.
In fact, it is impossible to open up the gap between the three subjects of biology and geography, which can be used in the baccalaureate, and physical education, for the top exams.
For Zeng Wei to win the first place in the Xichuan Provincial High School Entrance Examination with such a big advantage, from the principal Jiang Rong to the teachers of the third grade of junior high school, they are all very happy. After all, this is the first time that Gudan No. 1 Middle School has won the first place in the high school entrance examination.
In fact, before this, no one in Gudan No. 1 Middle School had even entered the top ten of the Xichuan Provincial High School Entrance Examination.
In the face of such results, even if Zeng Wei proposed that he would not continue to stay in Gudan No. 1 Middle School in high school, but planned to study in Jiangzhou, although the teachers were a little disappointed, they still readily agreed.
In fact, from Jiang Rong to all the teachers, it is very clear that with Zeng Wei's results, the possibility of continuing to stay in Gudan No. 1 Middle School to study in high school is very small, because once he learns his results in the high school entrance examination, whether it is those key high schools in Tianfu City, the provincial capital, or the key high schools in Jiangzhou City, they will come to Gudan to poach them.
Especially considering that Zeng Wei is not yet ten years old, his influence is even greater.
This is a true genius!
………………
Sure enough, the day after the results of the high school entrance examination came out, people from the admissions offices of those key high schools in Tianfu City and Jiangzhou City came to Gudan to inquire about Zeng Wei's situation.
Although he had already had the idea of studying in Jiangzhou No. 1 Middle School, Zeng Wei did not show it at the beginning. If you can get more preferential treatment for yourself, it is undoubtedly the best choice.
Although I am not inferior to the little preferential treatment provided by these schools, as a successful businessman, I should never forget to fight for interests, especially those that should belong to me.
However, Zeng Wei found that the preferential conditions provided by all key high schools are actually the same, and there is not much difference.
This made Zeng Wei very disappointed, and his idea of sitting on the ground and raising the price seemed to have failed.
Therefore, Zeng Wei didn't bother to entangle with the admissions office of these schools anymore, and soon reached an agreement with the admissions teacher of Jiangzhou No. 1 Middle School: Zeng Wei went to Jiangzhou No. 1 Middle School to study in high school, on the condition that all his tuition and miscellaneous fees would be waived for three years of high school.
In addition, as long as Zeng Wei remains in the top 100 of his grade for three years, he will also receive a monthly living allowance of 100 yuan from the school. This condition will be canceled as long as Zeng Wei's grades fall out of the top 100 in the grade in the final exam.
This condition actually shows that Jiangzhou No. 1 Middle School's requirements for Zeng Wei are not high, that is, the requirements of general famous schools. Because Jiangzhou No. 1 Middle School, the number of students admitted to prestigious schools every year is basically about 100 people.
………………
Not long after Zeng Wei reached an agreement with Jiangzhou No. 1 Middle School, the results of the 1994 college entrance examination also came out.
At the moment when he got the results, Jiang Rong, the principal of Gudan No. 1 Middle School, no longer had the smile he had a few days ago.
Although he knew that this year's college entrance examination results might not be ideal, he still didn't expect it to be so bad.
So, he gathered all the teachers of the third grade group and made a big fuss.
The third-grade teachers who were originally dissatisfied with Jiang Rong broke out completely this time, and there was a great dispute between the two sides.
In this way, a turmoil occurred in Gudan No. 1 Middle School.
The development of events did not surprise Zeng Wei, and the result ended with all those teachers leaving Gudan No. 1 Middle School.
In another time and space, Jiang Rong, who did not succeed in the high school entrance examination, won the final victory, not to mention that this time Jiang Rong also had Zeng Wei, the provincial champion of the high school entrance examination, at the bottom, and he was even more confident.
As for what kind of compromise conditions Jiang Rong and the regional leaders reached, Zeng Wei didn't ask, because it had nothing to do with him.
And at this time, he didn't have the heart to meddle in things.
………………
In August, the senior management of Wulingxian Liquor began to summarize the achievements made in the past few months, to be precise, the half-year results from February to July.
After all, Wulingxian Liquor in January was still in the initial stage, and it can be said that there was no business performance.
Even if Zeng Wei had expected it, when the results came out, he still had a feeling of overjoy.
As of July 31, the company has received a total of more than 30 million yuan of orders in the past seven months, and it is expected that the annual orders will exceed 60 million yuan.
More than eighty percent of these orders are from Jiangzhou City, and less than twenty percent are from Fuzhou and Gudan regions, far beyond the previous imagination.
Among them, the orders for fine Wuling Xian are close to 40 million, especially the 125ml small bottle and 250ml medium bottle of fine Wuling Xian are the most popular, while the aged Wuling Xian is more popular in 500ml ordinary bottles.
Just this time the market development campaign has been fought so brilliantly, it can't help but make people feel intoxicated.
Although this is said to be the shock wave impact of Wulingxian Liquor's continuous campaign and advertising offensive in Jiangzhou for half a year, this popularity will gradually decline with the passage of time.
However, Zeng Wei, Wang Shuyao and Li Wan all judged that in the Jiangzhou market in 1994, the turnover of Wulingxian Liquor could definitely exceed 45 million yuan, or even 50 million yuan.
This has created the history of Qingquan Distillery since its establishment, even in the most glorious time of the mid-80s, Qingquan Distillery's annual sales have never exceeded two million yuan.
And now in just half a year, more than 30 million orders have been received, which is unbelievable.
It sounds like this amount is very scary, but Zeng Wei knows very well that this is nothing at all for the liquor market, just in the past two years, the annual sales of slightly larger domestic liquor companies are often in the tens of millions of yuan, such as Confucius House and Confucius Banquet, and then Qinchi.
This is still the sales performance before they did not win the bid king, and the Confucius family and Qin Chi, who won the bid king, all went straight to the billion-level sales.
In this case, what can't Wuling Xian Liquor not make history?
………………
However, such a high-speed expansion has also made Wulingxian Liquor Industry face a huge problem, that is, the problem of production capacity.
After all, before this, the sales of Qingquan Distillery, the predecessor of Wulingxian Liquor, had not exceeded two million a year, so its production capacity was not high, that is, thousands of tons.
This production capacity is far from enough to support today's Wulingxian Liquor Industry, the reason why Wulingxian Liquor has not broken out of the problem of insufficient industry is mainly because the business of Qingquan Distillery has been sluggish in the past few years, and there is a lot of backlog of raw liquor.
However, the foundation of Qingquan Distillery is too thin after all, and with the rapid development of Wulingxian Distillery in the market, the production capacity of the distillery has fallen into a tight state.
There is little room to continue to increase the potential of its own production capacity, and even if the distillery is to expand its production capacity immediately, it will not be able to meet the needs of market expansion.
But it was intolerable for Zeng Wei to give up such an opportunity.
Lujiu has been making waves in the national liquor market, and it is realistic to say that the production capacity of Lujiu is now in a stage of crazy expansion, if you don't deal with it early, it may really be overwhelmed by Lujiu.
Then there is only one other way - merge the original distillery and integrate it into Wulingxian Liquor, so as to achieve the purpose of rapidly increasing the production capacity of Wulingxian Liquor in the short term.
………………
After some consideration, Zeng Wei set his sights on Shixian Liquor, which had lost in the previous competition with Wuling Xian Liquor.
However, after all, Shixian Liquor was once a hegemon in the eastern Sichuan liquor industry, and in the 80s, it was shortlisted as one of the top 20 large companies in the national liquor industry, even if the situation is not good now, its volume is still not to be underestimated.
Wuling Xian Liquor wants to swallow Shixian Liquor in one bite, no less than a snake swallowing an elephant, even if the development momentum of Wuling Xian Liquor Industry is very good now, it is at most a python that has not yet become a climate.
In the end, Zeng Wei put forward an idea, that is, a multi-party joint venture.
In order to confront Shixian Liquor and the Qianzhou regional government, Zeng Wei decided to bring the Gudan region in.
After a month-long period of verbal warfare, Zeng Wei was still the largest shareholder of the brand-new Wulingxian Liquor Industry, which was finally merged and reorganized, accounting for 40 percent of the shares; the Qianzhou region took Shixian Liquor as a shareholder, accounting for 30 percent of the shares; the Gudan region invested 37.5 million yuan, accounting for 25 percent of the shares; and Wang Shuyao, as the second shareholder of the former Wulingxian Liquor Industry, is still a shareholder of Wulingxian Liquor Industry, but his shares have shrunk to 5 percent.
Originally, Zeng Wei still hoped to get the controlling stake in his hands, but neither the Qianzhou Regional Government nor the Gudan Regional Government was willing to see this situation.
However, both the Qianzhou side and the Gu Dan side knew that this matter was actually a matter that would be beneficial to all parties, and they were unwilling to let the negotiations fail.
In the end, after many compromises, the above agreement was reached.
In this way, Wulingxian Liquor has become a publicly-owned company with a controlling position in the official face, and Zeng Wei has obtained the status of the largest shareholder and the conditions for Wang Shuyao to continue to serve as the head of the company.
Although Wang Shuyao's shares have shrunk by two-thirds, the wealth she has has increased by geometric multiples.
As for Wuling Xian Liquor, it was in this process that it truly achieved the feat of swallowing elephants and solved the crisis of insufficient production capacity.
