Chapter 170: Centennial Offering
Although Long's special distillery was established earlier than Long's strong body beverage company, Long's strong body drink has already entered the market, but the special wine has not yet been produced. The reason is that the process of brewing liquor is much more complicated than that of beverages, as long as there are enough raw materials for beverages, as long as there is an assembly line, it can be produced continuously. And the manufacture of liquor is very troublesome, first of all, there is a fermentation time, and secondly, there is a cellaring time. The ten-year bamboo green developed by Long Dan is no different from other liquors except for the energy storage zĂ i, and its manufacturing process is the same, but there is an additional energy penetration process.
The birth of the strong drink has long brought out the fame of Long's special distillery. Ten years of bamboo green has not been produced, and there are many people in China who are looking for a way to find a relationship, and they all want to make a small fortune in special wine. Therefore, there are countless people who come to Long's company for public relations, although the vast majority of them can't find Long Dan's head, but it also makes Long Dan annoying.
First of all, the country's diplomatic department, due to the cooperation in the strong drink, Long's company has more exchanges with the diplomatic department, that is, the diplomatic department has more convenience. Businessmen from many countries did not come to Long's company through normal channels to negotiate, but took the path of the diplomatic department, which made the foreign affairs department of China not like a foreign affairs department, but similar to an enterprise management bureau.
There is such a phenomenon in China, the same things produced in China are cheaper to sell abroad than in China. For example, Moutai is sold for thousands of yuan in China, and only a few dozen dollars abroad, which is only 100 yuan in Huaxia currency. There is a phenomenon of Chinese people going abroad to buy Moutai and bring it back to China. Long Dan is very disgusted by this phenomenon, according to the experience of the export of strong drinks, Long Dan positions the domestic ex-factory price at 388 yuan per bottle, and the export of special liquor at 188 US dollars, because the US dollar is 1:6.5 against the Chinese currency, which means that the price of the exported ten-year bamboo green is actually 1222 yuan per bottle. In Long Dan's thoughts, there is such a consciousness that the things that are exported should be expensive, otherwise how can they reflect the nobility of things. However, in this way, although there will be no phenomenon of buying back ten years of bamboo green from abroad, people who come to China from abroad will bring back some ten years of bamboo green wine from China, at least the travel expenses are earned. Of course, due to the huge difference in prices, smuggling is inevitable, and this does not belong to the scope of Long's management.
When the first batch of ten-year bamboo green leaves the factory, there are only 50,000 tons, but the export task arranged by the diplomatic department is 40,000 tons, and only 10,000 tons remain. When Long Dan sued Wang Jun, Wang Jun unceremoniously sent someone to pull away 1,000 tons first, saying that it was for military supply, and the remaining 9,000 tons of Long Dan had to be very stingy to send many domestic sellers.
A few days later, the old man Wang Zhan also called Long Dan and asked: "Long Dan, your ten-year bamboo green has been on the market, and everyone has responded well, and they all say that it is a good thing." However, when will you give me the hundred-year-old bamboo green you promised me? As soon as Long Dan heard it, the old man came to the door to ask for it, and said embarrassedly: "The old man is a little restless, it will be produced in the next few days, and it will be sent to you", the old man was happy when he heard it, and said: "I have tasted your ten-year bamboo green, don't fool me with your ten-year bamboo green, hehe." Long Dan listened to it and said with a smile: "I just fool no one and I won't fool your old man, so please okay", the old man was relieved when he heard this. Long Dan didn't feel funny, this old man was always young, like a child, he actually had such a mind.
Long Dan hurriedly hurried to Caiyun Province, and asked Caicha to fill a cart full of 10,000 bottles of 10,000-year-old bamboo green brewed by the matter, and pulled it to Luzhong City and put it in a secret warehouse. Long Dan asked Long Tai to release the energy of the crystal ball into the hundred-year-old bamboo green wine according to Long Dan's requirements. Then, he sent the vehicles of the military personnel of the Long Company to personally escort the century-old Zhuqing to the residence of the old man Wang Zhan.
As soon as the hundred-year-old bamboo green arrived, the old man Wang Zhan couldn't wait to open the package, poured a full cup, tasted it carefully, and aftertasted it for a long time, and then said to Long Dan: "It's really extraordinary, it's much better than the ten-year bamboo green." Long Dan waited for the old man to finish speaking, and said to the old man: "Old man, this hundred-year-old bamboo green is not as good as ten years of bamboo green, ten years of bamboo green produces hundreds of thousands of tons a year, how many do you want." But there are only 10,000 bottles of bamboo green in this century, you can save drinking, this is one bottle less than one bottle, don't give it away." Old Man Wang Zhan glared and said, "Didn't you say that you would give me 10,000 bottles every year?" How can you say that drinking a bottle is one less bottle? âă Long Dan saw that the old man had this question, and said: "It is particularly difficult to brew this century-old bamboo green, and I will give you a maximum of 10,000 bottles a year, anyway, I will give it to you, you can just watch it."
Old man Wang Zhan said: "I know your thoughts, of course I won't give it to people casually, no matter how good things are, the people who want to give them will naturally be worth it." The old man took a sip of wine and continued: "It's not interesting to just drink, so let's call Xiao Chang too, how about the three of us have fun together?" âă Long Dan heard the old man ask Xiao Chang to come over and asked, "That Xiao Chang?" Do I know each other? The old man heard Long Dan's question, pointed at Long Dan with his hand, smiled, and said: "It's the old No. 1, now that he is at home, don't call him what Xiaochang calls him." Long Dan was also happy when he heard it, and he was used to shouting No. 1, and he forgot what the old No. 1 surname was.
The old No. 1 surname is Chang, everyone on this earth knows it, but there are really not a few people who can call him Xiaochang in China. Even if he retired, people still respected him very much, and naturally called him Chang Lao, even if it was a group of colleagues who had retired, they were about the same age, at most they just called him Lao Chang, and ordinary people really didn't dare to call him Xiao Chang. However, in front of the old man Wang Zhan, it is a different matter, even if he calls him Xiaochang, it is a matter of course. Because when the old man participated in the revolution, the old number one was not born yet. Although the latecomer came to the top and became the highest officer, the elders and the young still have to talk about the dignity and inferiority. That old man's sworn enemy, Guan Tieying, although the old man Wang Zhan was very disgusted, was barely a peer, and the rest of the people were in Huaxia, and there was really no one who made the old man respect him or anything.
Long Dan was also very happy to see that the old man wanted the old No. 1 to come over, and he hadn't had a good time with the old No. 1 for a long time. If I don't come to the door again, I'm afraid the old No. 1 will be surprised.
The residence of the old No. 1 is not far from the residence of the old man Wang Zhan, and they are both in the ** villa area of Yuquan Mountain. After a while, the old No. 1 came. When he entered the door and saw that Long Dan was also here, he said: "Hehe, my old friend is also here, we haven't seen each other for a long time, why don't you come to my house to sit down, is it useless for me to retreat?" âă Long Dan saw that Lao No. 1 was surprised, and hurriedly said: "Chang Lao, look at what you said, I'm not entangled in mundane affairs, if you don't bother me, how about going to your house tomorrow?" âă Seeing that Long Dan promised to go to his house, the old number one said: "What tomorrow, let's do it today, how about eating at Old Man Wang's house at noon today, and eating dinner at my house?" âă
Long Dan has a lot of feelings for the old No. 1, and during the tenure of the old No. 1, he also took care of Long Dan, otherwise, Long Dan's business would not be so smooth. Although most of this is arranged and taken care of by the old man Wang Zhan, it is also inseparable from the default of the old No. 1 puppet. Just imagine, a giant who is in charge of the state can acquiesce to you acting arbitrarily in a country, which is a great face. Therefore, Long Dan also wanted to find an opportunity to comb and comb his body for Lao No. 1, so that he could be in good health, so that this abdicated old friend could enjoy his old age.
Old man Wang Zhan has a special chef at home, and when he speaks, he prepares the dishes and puts them on the table. The three of them sat down, naturally the old man Wang Zhan was the main seat, and the old No. 1 and Long Dan accompanied them on both sides. The old man Wang Zhan personally held the pot, poured a hundred years of bamboo green for the old number one and Long Dan, and said: "Xiao Chang, this wine is specially brewed by Xiaolong, you taste it first, how about this wine?" Old No. 1 said: "Old Wang, I rarely drink alcohol now, and the doctor doesn't let me drink it, since you let me drink some, then I'll taste it." After that, he took a sip of the wine glass, waited for the wine to swallow his stomach, and after a while, he felt it, and said, "Is this a ten-year bamboo green wine?" âă
Old man Wang Zhan saw that Lao No. 1 said that it was ten years of bamboo green, and asked, "Have you drunk ten years of bamboo green?" The old No. 1 said: "The outside of the ten years of bamboo green is so evil, how can I not taste the reason, not to say, after I drank a few times, the body feels very good, the doctor said that it may be the cause of the wine, and now the doctor also let me drink a small glass of each meal." Old man Wang Zhan said: "Then do you feel that this wine is different from the ten-year bamboo green you have drunk?" When the old No. 1 heard it, he also felt that the small sip he drank just now had the taste of ten years of bamboo green, but it was very different from ten years of bamboo green. The difference between him is that his strength is even stronger, as if a large heat current rises from the dantian, and it is even stronger. Therefore, Lao No. 1 picked up the wine glass again, took a sip again, and said for a long time: "Although this wine has the taste of bamboo green, it is more mellow than bamboo green wine."
After listening to the old No. 1, the old man explained: "Xiao Chang, even if you have insight, this is a hundred years of bamboo green specially brewed by Xiaolong for me, this is a special offering in the special, a treasure in the treasure, after drinking, there is a disease but a disease, no disease strengthens the body, relaxes the muscles and invigorates the blood, the body is light, and the end is a good thing." It's just not much, you can take some with you when you leave, even if it's given to you by Long Dan." When the old No. 1 heard that it was specially brewed by Long Dan for Old Man Wang, he knew that this thing must be a rare thing, so he was very happy to agree.
The three of them chatted happily, and the wine also fell quickly, and the two bottles of wine were gone after a while. Old No. 1 said excitedly: "In the past, even when I was young, I would get drunk when I drank so much wine, why are the three of us drinking two bottles now, how can I drink more and more energetically, what is the reason?" Long Dan saw that Lao No. 1 wanted to ask, so he explained.
