Chapter 0470 - The One Who Harvests the Most
Chapter 0470 The One Who Gained the Most
Gu Yu's worries are not unreasonable, Japan has never lacked economists with excellent strategic vision, and Gu Yu's plan cannot be said to be perfect, and only a little scrutiny is needed to find out the problems contained in it. This auction is also a time to test the strategic vision of these excellent Japanese economists. Whether they won, or Gu Yu's money lure is effective, now is the time to really score a point.
Gu Yu has actually been using an intermediate information collection and processing instrument to collect information on relevant aspects of Japan and analyze and process it. Through the information gathered, he learned that there was actually quite a lot of controversy among the Japanese people about the establishment of a sake brewery in Japan. The main concern of the Japanese side is that it will have a huge impact on Japan's agricultural production, which is not conducive to the protection of traditional Japanese agriculture, and on the other hand, it will have an impact on tens of thousands of sake breweries across the country.
Behind every issue is a large interest group that wields considerable social influence in Japan, and Japanese politicians have to take their views into account when formulating policies.
Gu Yu's foundation in Japan is still too shallow, he was able to pinch the Japanese people before, that is because he grasped the shortcomings of the Japanese people, so that the Japanese people have to turn to him for help no matter what they do, just like the tree of national fortune in Mr. Tangerine's cherry orchard, except for Gu Yu, no one in the world can be saved, naturally he can make conditions, no matter how harsh, as long as the Japanese people still want the tree of national fortune to live, they have to accept the harsh conditions proposed by Gu Yu. Just like when Japan sold train carriages to Huaxia before, all the parts were bundled and sold, and a stainless steel washbasin could be priced at 40,000 Huaxia yuan, and you had to swallow the bitter fruit.
Sake brewery is not the same as the tree of national fortune, sake brewery is a dispensable thing for Japan, without the tree of national fortune, Japanese people will have less spiritual sustenance, sake is different, there is no Gu Yu production, there are tens of thousands of large and small sake manufacturers in Japan, and there are too many substitutes. At this time, it is definitely not enough to just say that it tastes good.
It is precisely because of these considerations that Gu Yu tried his best to pull Mr. Tachibana and them into his chariot at the beginning, promising Mr. Tachibana and them heavy profits, so that their pockets could be bulging, and they could also buy or lease the land in the hands of Japanese farmers at a more attractive price. Not only that, Gu Yu also set the price of third-class sake so low, further reducing the resistance of ordinary Japanese people to third-class sake.
However, he has no idea whether his measures are effective or not. After all, the intermediate information collection and processing device is not a panacea, and some information cannot be retrieved from the air if it is not put on the channel where it can be reached. The Japanese side should have held secret consultations last night, and he did not know what the results of the discussions were.
Gu Yu's expression was solemn, and there was no expression on his face. Ye Rou sat next to him, also concentrating, looking at the auctioneer on the stage.
The auctioneer's expression is much more excited than Gu Yu's, just two rounds of auctions, and selling planes, gems, and good wine, a total of almost 26 billion US dollars were auctioned out before and after, although these money are all from the big boss Gu Yu, but as a handler, he will definitely be able to get a big red envelope afterwards, even if he doesn't give money, the employee points will not be less, whether it is money, or employee points, it is of great use to him, no wonder he is so happy.
The auctioneer cheered up, adjusted the state to the best, and prepared to follow Gu Yu's instructions to carry out the third round of auction, which had already made a good start, perfectly.
The auction cleared its throat and quoted the latest lot, which was the distribution right for one-twentieth of the production of third-class sake.
The first phase of the sake brewery has been completed, and the annual output of third-class sake is now 1 billion bottles, which seems like a lot, but when it comes to Japan, which has a total population of more than 120 million, it is less than 10 bottles per citizen, which is not much. Even if the third phase of the project is completed, the total output is only 5 billion bottles, a total of 2.5 million liters, and the domestic liquor production has already exceeded 13 million liters.
The reason why one-twentieth of the output of third-class sake is used as an auction unit is because there are a total of 20 different flavors of third-class sake, and this arrangement is equivalent to saying that Gu Yu has to find a suitable agent for each taste of third-class sake.
When the auctioneer quoted the first lot, there was no pause at the scene, and the situation that Gu Yu was worried about did not appear, and someone immediately followed up and quoted a fairly good price. Immediately after that, there are people who raise the price to compete.
Seeing this scene, Gu Yu breathed a long sigh of relief, his plan was successful.
The auction has been very fierce, and the sales rights of 20 third-class sake have all been auctioned off without exception, and the highest price is almost 130 Huaxia coins, and the lowest is as much as 120 Huaxia coins. The extra money, Gu Yu kept his promise and donated all of it afterwards.
In fact, Gu Yu's worries about third-class sake were a little too much. Although he made a rough plan, he had some scruples about almost all the aspects that should be taken into account, and it was not the high-ranking politicians and scholars who could really influence his plan, but the Japanese peasants who controlled the land. Mr. Tachibana and the others have received enough benefits from Gu Yu, so when they buy or lease farmland, they pay a very high price, so few farmers are unwilling to sell or lease their land to them.
A large amount of land is concentrated in the hands of Japanese dignitaries like Mr. Tachibana, and they naturally don't want anyone to spoil their good deeds, even if they know that Gu Yu's opening of a sake brewery will have an impact on Japan's traditional sake brewing industry, they will choose to turn a blind eye. On the contrary, in order to make more money and obtain more benefits, they will stand on Gu Yu's side and shout for Gu Yu.
It is not only people like Mr. Tachibana who want to make profits, but also many people who want to get a piece of the feast. They also inadvertently became the help of Gu Yu's plan in Japan.
Of course, there is a very important reason for this, that is, Gu Yu's choice of entry point is sake, which is not high-tech, not the economic lifeline of Japan, and it is nothing for Gu Yu to be controlled by an outsider. If it is replaced by other things that may threaten Japan's national security, no matter how much money is made and no matter how many benefits there are, few people may dare to echo Gu Yu.
After the auction of third-class sake, the auction of second-class sake is held. The auction went very smoothly and was much more popular than the third class sake.
Second-class sake is a little better than the best sake currently available in Japan, and its production is much lower than that of third-class sake, so it will be welcomed by many people if it is introduced to the market. Therefore, the competition among those merchants who were interested in distribution was still very fierce, and the final transaction price averaged about 100,000 Huaxia coins, which was twice as high as the 50,000 Huaxia coins estimated by Zhigu Yu in advance.
When it was the turn of the first-class sake, the competition was simply crazy, and at the end of the auction, the average bottle was sold for about 200,000 US dollars, and the average price of the good sake just auctioned was about 150,000 US dollars per bottle, and this batch of first-class sake was even more expensive than these good sake, this is the relationship between Japan's home court, and many of them vowed to keep all these excellent sake in Japan.
This determination reached a state of madness at the time of the auction of premium sake, and the scene was no weaker than Mars hitting the Earth. After rounds of fierce and brutal competition, the final transaction price reached a jaw-dropping point - an average of 2 million US dollars per bottle, which is converted into Huaxia coins, more than 12 million.
This kind of auction made Gu Yu sigh that the people who participated in the bidding were crazy, he originally estimated that this special sake could be sold for 500,000 US dollars a bottle, but he didn't expect it to be sold for 2 million US dollars, which can only be said that he doesn't understand the mentality of those who are rich and like to drink. They are already not just drinking, but directly drinking money, drinking gold.
Gu Yu estimated that he would never be able to understand the mentality of these people in his life, but he still liked this kind of big money.
Aside from the gems in the first round of auctions, the planes in the second round of auctions, and the auctions of those good wines, the overall results of the sake auction were far better than Gu Yu expected.
The money recovered from the auction of third-class sake alone is enough for Gu Yu to support his operating costs of running a sake factory in Japan in the future, that is, even if he does not sell second-class sake, first-class sake and premium sake, his sake factory can be maintained, and there is no need to worry about a large number of losses, even if he needs subsidies, he does not need to pay much, it is completely within his affordability.
In other words, from now on, the money he makes for every bottle of second-class sake he sells is basically his pure profit. Not to mention first-class sake and premium sake. To put it simply, these three grades of sake will also bring him tens of billions of dollars in profits every year. That's an impressive number.
Only a person like Gu Yu, who has mastered winemaking technology far beyond today, can make such money.
I didn't expect that the temporary decision to build a sake brewery in Japan would make such a profit, Gu Yu planned to be better to the Japanese people in the future, if there is a chance to pit them in the future, he should start lightly, and he wants to share some of the profits he earns, and give back to the Japanese country, so that they can remember his good, let him pit them for a longer time, and the water will flow for a long time.
After the auction, everyone involved in the exhibition and auction was very happy, and almost everyone thought that they had made the trip worthwhile and had gained a lot.
Mr. Gates also spent money to buy a private jet sold by Gu Yu, and Gu Yu also promised him two things in private, one is to get him a few bottles of Level 3 human strengthening pills as soon as possible, and the other is the security police, Gu Yu will let the production line in BX squeeze out a little production capacity to produce a batch of security police for Mr. Gates. This is a face that no one else has.
Mr. Tachibana, needless to say, the twelve gems that Gu Yu auctioned, seven of the ten planes, plus five planes, all fell into their hands in the end, and as for the first-class sake and the special sake, they also grabbed more than half. In order to successfully buy these, the money they earned from selling winemaking materials to Gu Yu was not only pasted in, but also borrowed from outsiders for many years.
However, they think that it is worth it, the value of the gems is maintained and increased, the sake can not only be drunk by themselves, but also sold to make money, and as for the aircraft, the performance is so good, it is good to use it yourself, and it is a very good choice to call the military research institute to disassemble and study. As for the money spent, it's all trivial, anyway, as long as Gu Yu's sake brewery opens, you have to buy raw materials from them, and it's a big deal to get more land and plant more brewing materials.
The world-class billionaires who were invited to come also gained a lot, gems, planes and wine, they all had a lot of gains, and the gifts that Gu Yu gave them were also very much to their liking. In addition, even if they are well-informed, they have to sigh that this exhibition and auction was not in vain, and they have opened their eyes.
Of course, the biggest harvest is still Gu Yu, fame, and interests, all of which are there.
It is precisely because of this that after the auction, Gu Yu was in a very good mood and accepted Mr. Tachibana's invitation to stay in Japan for a few more days. In addition to attending interviews on Japanese television, he also visited orphanages and nursing homes in Japan, and also met with the prime minister. Finally, the east of Japan||Kyo University also invited him to give a lecture and conferred on him the title of Honorary DoctorateThe Beijing Municipal Government also joined in the excitement and awarded him the title of honorary citizen.
With the progress of the trip in the past few days, Gu Yu's reputation among the Japanese civilians has further increased, and he has also seized these opportunities, discovered a lot of business opportunities, and found some opportunities to earn both prestige and money. He was able to record all these things, and then handed them over to Gai Wenyuan, the head of the Japanese branch, to deal with these things.
Gai Wenyuan is painful and happy, the sake brewery is so profitable, he is in charge of such a factory, the pressure is still very high, the boss gave him such a good start, if he runs it well, it is his duty, if there is a mistake, it is his dereliction of duty.
Obviously, this is a very challenging thing, and he likes this kind of challenging work, only in this way can he show his value in front of the big boss, so that he can occupy a more prominent position in the future of the company.
