23. Kowloon Cup

With the advent of the nineties, all kinds of tickets for the planned economy withdrew from life, and people could buy as much as they wanted as long as they had money. As a result, the business of Chen Zhong Distillery has become more prosperous, and the scale of production has increased several times compared to a few years ago.

At this time, he did not buy low-priced liquor from other wineries, but installed equipment in his own factory, hired a group of winemakers, and of course, before these wines left the factory, they would be mixed with wine made from Kowloon cups to enhance the taste.

"Boss, it's almost the end of the year, what gifts should we give this year?" The secretary said as he handed over a copy of the text.

Chen Zhong thought for a while, "As in previous years, in addition to the tickets, I will pack a few bottles of good wine from home and give them to Liu Ju." ”

Since moving into the building, Chen Zhong has placed the location of the Nine Dragons Cup in one of his basements, and when the wine is made, he will transport it to the distillery in a small truck, saying that it is a family secret recipe, which has been made so mysterious for the sake of secrecy.

Chen Zhong ordered a few more things and let the secretary out. Over the years, the scale of the factory has expanded, and he has hired the secretary of the factory director and manager to take care of it for him, and he is only responsible for providing funds and making some important decisions.

The office phone rang, Chen Zhong picked it up, and a delicate voice came from the other end.

"When are you coming? It's someone's birthday, you won't forget it, right? ”

"How could I forget jì? Don't worry, I'll be with you at night. Chen Zhong said coaxingly. After having money, he gradually surrounded countless warblers and Yanyan, one more beautiful than the other, one more coquettish and flattering than the other, although he was a little afraid of his wife, but he couldn't resist this temptation, so he simply bought a house outside to raise a mistress.

"And what gift are you going to give someone? I've heard that you bought a foreign necklace for your wife last month. ”

"I've bought all the gifts, yours will definitely not be worse than her!" Chen Zhong patted his chest and promised.

"Very well, dear, I'll be waiting for you in the evening." When the mistress heard his words, she smiled happily, her voice became more and more delicate, and she clicked on the other end of the phone, which made Chen Zhong's heart bloom.

Near evening, Chen Zhong was about to make a phone call to his wife, telling her that he would not go back for overtime at night.

The phone was connected, and Zhang Yanxia's voice rang first, "Why haven't you come back at this time, didn't you say a few days ago, my son came back today, and the family is going to the restaurant for dinner, it's time for you, look at ・・・・・・"

Chen Zhong only remembered at this time that his son came back from college in other places today, and his wife had already said that the family would have dinner together after booking a restaurant tonight.

"I have something at hand today, and it takes a little longer to deal with it, so I'll be back now, I'll be back!" Chen Zhong said busily.

Compared with his mistress and his family, of course he chooses his family, not to mention that his wife also knows about the Kowloon Cup, if she knows that she has raised a woman outside and is provoked, with her temper, she will definitely make a big fuss and shake the Kowloon Cup out.

As for the mistress, give more tickets and buy more jewelry to send it, this woman is not following her for money, Chen Zhong understands in his heart that everyone takes what they need.

When Chen Zhong arrived at the hotel, his wife and son were already sitting at the table.

"Dad, you give me some money, I don't have enough." Chen Qi's first sentence was to ask for money.

Since the family's economy has improved, Chen Zhong has never cared about his son's expenses, but he just gave him 1,000 yuan last month, which is enough for an ordinary student to spend for a year, why did his son spend it in a month, "What did you do with the money you gave you last time?" How did it go so fast? ”

"Buying clothes, inviting classmates to dinner, and taking girlfriends out to play, don't all have to spend money!" The son said as a matter of course.

The wife helped on the side, "Okay, the child is at the age of spending money at this time, anyway, there is no shortage of money at home, let him spend!" ”

Chen Zhong's face sank, "Then you can't be so big-hearted, say, did you kid do something bad?" ”

Chen Qi couldn't hide it, so he simply put down the chopsticks in his hand, "I beat a classmate and asked me to pay for the medical expenses." ”

"What's going on?" In Zhang Yanxia's eyes, her son is always well-behaved and sensible, so she asked, "Did that classmate bully you?" ”

"He said bad things about me behind my back, and when I heard it, I taught him a lesson, who knew that kid was so careless, broke a bone, and went to the hospital," Chen Qi spread his hands, with a disdainful look on his face, "It's a poor student, the family has no money and no power, I compensate him for his medical expenses, in order to gag other people's mouths!" Dad, do you want to give money or not? ”

Zhang Yanxia patted Chen Zhong on the shoulder, "It's not a big deal, the conflict between children can be solved with money, don't put on a face." You can't blame your son, it's all that student's fault, how can you say bad things about people behind your back・・・・・・"

Chen Zhong fell into deep thought, not because of his son's affairs, but because he remembered that many years ago, in order to get the Kowloon Cup, he kicked the second fool to death, and then relied on it to make a fortune, so that he has a good life today.

"Okay, okay, I'm not angry," Chen Zhong took a sip of his wine glass, "I'll give you the money tomorrow, just don't beat people at every turn in the future, you have to have a good relationship with your classmates, I will hand over the winery to you in the future, you have to have a bunch of relationships・・・・・・"

"Dad, don't talk about this, I don't know how to operate now, let's talk about it in the future." Chen Qi interrupted him impatiently, he didn't care about making money now, anyway, Chen Zhong gave him money to spend, and he was happy to eat, drink, and play all day long!

Chen Zhong and Zhang Yanxia exchanged glances, they didn't tell their son about the Jiulong Cup now, and they were going to wait until their son took over the winery before telling him the secret.

So, the two didn't say anything more, and the family had their own thoughts and ate silently.

When he went to bed at night, Chen Zhong took off his clothes, and his wife sniffed and asked, "Do you smell anything?" It's like a puff of stinky alcohol coming out of you. ”

Chen Zhong raised his arm and sniffed it, and sure enough, there was a faint smell of alcohol, which was different from the aroma of wine, but stinky, "Maybe I stayed in the studio of the winery for the past few days, and I got a smell on my body." I'm going to take a shower. ”

A few days later, Chen Qi got the money and went back to school, and Chen Zhong had time to meet his mistress.

The mistress was released for no reason, and when she saw him, she sat on the sofa and angrily hugged her arms, turned her head and ignored him, but when Chen Zhong took out the necklace inlaid with a large Brazilian gem, her eyes widened, and she immediately smiled, and the black eyebrows that were sewn up were bent into a bend, and she hugged his neck and took a bite.

The two spent the night happily, and the next day, the mistress made him a hearty breakfast.

Chen Zhong was reading the newspaper while eating breakfast, and his finger was accidentally cut by a knife.

"How's it going, are you alright?" The mistress leaned over with concern.

"It's fine." Chen Zhong looked at his fingers, and couldn't help but chuckle in his heart, just now he obviously felt pain, and his fingers also cracked a hole, but he didn't bleed, but saw a few drops of white transparent liquid oozing out of the wound.

The mistress unconsciously covered her nose, "What kind of smell is this, it's stronger than the alcohol smell on your body・・・・・・" Realizing that she had said the wrong thing, she quickly closed her mouth and looked away with a twinkle in her eyes.

Chen Zhong ignored her, he was shocked and scared at the moment, how could his blood become this color? Could it be that the smell of alcohol on my body is also the reason?

On the same day, accompanied by his wife, he went to the best hospital in the city for an examination, and the test results were normal, and when his blood was drawn, it was also bright red.

Chen Zhong put his mind at ease, maybe he hadn't rested well recently, and he would be wrong when he was dazzled!

For the next few months, Chen Zhong put the matter behind him, as he had recently encountered a tricky problem.

In recent years, the wine industry has become more and more popular, more and more people have joined this industry, the competition has become more and more fierce, and it is common to encounter a few difficult opponents.

"This month's profit is not as good as last month, you don't have to worry about it." Chen Zhong threw down the financial statements and said a little unhappily.

The secretary pushed his glasses and looked a little strange, "Boss, in fact, we want to increase profits, in addition to increasing sales and increasing prices, there can be other ways, for example, to reduce costs." ”

"Oh? But our equipment is all up to date, and there is no room for price reduction of the purchased grain, so how can we reduce costs? Chen Zhong saw the mysterious expression on the secretary's face and asked curiously.

The secretary leaned closer, lowered his voice and said, "In fact, many other factories mix industrial alcohol with wine, and the cost of this industrial alcohol is very low, and it doesn't cost much money at all." ”

"Sizzle-" Chen Zhong took a breath and thought with his forehead propped up, he had heard of this practice, but it was risky, and it would not be easy to do it if it was discovered, "We can do this, but don't be discovered." He rolled his eyes, tapped his fingers on the table a few times, and cautiously instructed the secretary.

"No problem, boss, don't worry, leave it to me, and I'll do it for you." The secretary said.

"Okay, after the thing is successful, I won't treat you badly." Chen Zhong patted him on the shoulder.

The secretary's work efficiency is very high, and after several factory executives discussed, they all agreed to this proposal, anyway, the factory's profits are up, and their bonuses are more, who will not get along with the money?

After the implementation of the method of selling fake wine, Chen Zhong found that there was a lot more profit in the first month, and it seemed that mixing industrial alcohol was really a good way.

After more than a year, Chen Zhong's wallet became more and more bulging, and he thought that the days would continue to be calm, but one day, the secretary hurriedly ran into the office.

"Boss, it's not good, someone bought our wine, and after drinking it, he was blind, and now his family is making trouble."
