Chapter 128: Rebuilding the Distillery!
Wu Tian only came to Wujia Village when he visited relatives on the second day of the Lunar New Year. Passing by the entrance of the village, I saw that the site of the original distillery was now a mess, and my heart was inevitably angry and painful.
The reason for this is that the distillery is already a high-risk fire industry, and alcohol is flammable, and once a fire breaks out, it is extremely difficult to control. Wu Tian asked Chang Tianhua to tell his uncle and second uncle to pay attention to fire prevention, but who knew that such an accident still happened in Lu Dao!
Wu Tian is even more heartbroken that after more than half a year of operation, the distillery is now initially on the right track, the factory has undergone an expansion, and a set of wine-making equipment, and now the products have also broken out of Shangdong County, radiating to the surrounding districts and counties. According to the momentum of development, not to mention much, this year will inevitably be able to occupy the low-end liquor market in the jurisdiction of the city, and it will become a cash cow if it is not big or small......
According to what my father said after returning home yesterday, not only did the entire factory burn to ruins, but the equipment didn't need to be thought about at all, all burned down, and what was even worse was that the simple warehouse next to the production workshop was also burned down - although the finished wine in the factory is in short supply now, and the warehouse has already been cleared and there is no inventory, but there are more than 300 tons of grain for brewing in the warehouse, all of which are burned to ashes!
The rapid development of Wujiacun Distillery has already exhausted the surplus grain of the village, and the surrounding villages have also begged Wujiacun to buy the grain they can't sell, so that they simply send the grain first, and then pay for the winery to make wine and sell it! Who knew that this was a good business to reduce liquidity. The last one was because of a fire. To make matters worse for the village. Carrying a big baggage!
"Blame me, I'm so careless, I didn't arrange a few more people to watch the factory......"
Wu Jianjun sat in the cowshed at home, lighting a pot of fire, so that Wu Tian was warm and warm, but he was so smoked that he had tears on his face, and he seemed to be lacking in energy when he spoke. Wu Tian couldn't help but secretly feel heartache about this fire. But it made the uncle look a lot older all of a sudden, as if his hair was a lot grayer, and the self-blame and remorse on his face were really sad......
However, speaking of which, Wu Jianjun, as the director of the distillery, does have an unshirkable responsibility in this matter.
When the distillery was created, it was just to save money, but it didn't even build a wall, and only built a brewing workshop on the threshing floor for fermentation, distillation, and filling. The whole process is completed in that large factory shed. Later, after making some money, I was in a hurry to get another set of equipment. At the time of expansion, the production environment was still not improved, and it was still a simple factory shed with a grass platform.
The result of no fence is that anyone can enter and exit the factory at will, and the children in the village like to play in the distillery the most. In time for the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, the factory rarely stopped production for a few days, although Wu Jianjun also arranged two people to watch the door, but at that time, the two janitors ran to the village branch not far away to watch the Spring Festival Gala, estimated that the children in the village were naughty, ran to the factory to play with guns, and caused a fire - this is the cause of the fire deduced by the county fire brigade after the investigation.
Later, the village conducted a strict interrogation of the troublemakers in the village, and finally found out that a few boys had indeed gone to the winery to set off guns and play......
After listening to the uncle's description of this matter, Wu Tian couldn't help frowning and said, "Uncle, there is a problem here." ”
"Huh? What's the problem? Wu Jianjun put a piece of coals in the brazier with tongs, lit a dry tobacco pouch and smoked it, but he was choked by the smoke and coughed repeatedly.
"Well, whose children are the ones who went to the winery to set off the guns?" Wu Tian asked with a frown.
As soon as he mentioned this stubble, Wu Jianjun couldn't help but feel ashamed and hateful, and said: "There is your second brother, your third brother, they take the lead!" ”
Wu Tian was stunned when he heard this, shook his head and laughed, no wonder the uncle was so angry, but it was his own child who made it happen. Wu Jianjun has a total of two sons and a daughter, the eldest son Wu Zhonghao does not need to say more, the eldest daughter Wu Ling is also seventeen or eighteen years old, and now she is also a warehouse keeper in the winery, following bookkeeping or something. The youngest son, Wu Zhongqiang, is only twelve or thirteen years old, which is the age of stubbornness. And Wu Tian's "third brother" refers to Wu Jianmin's son Wu Zhongkai, who is also twelve or thirteen years old, and is inseparable from the second brother all day long.
"Is my second brother at home? I'll ask him......" Wu Tian said.
"Second baby! Second baby! Wu Jianjun immediately pulled his neck and shouted twice, and after waiting for a while, Wu Zhongqiang, who was probing his brain, appeared at the door.
Looking at the second brother's cowering look, Wu Tian couldn't help but want to laugh. I remember that when I came to Wujia Village for the first time after arriving in Shangdong County, the second brother and the third brother told me quite arrogantly that if there was anything in the village, just look for them, and the whole village had not beaten their children, and the big brother's posture was quite good.
And looking at it at this moment, the second brother must have been taught a hard lesson by the uncle, and his face is a little swollen when he pulls it halfway.
"Come here!" Wu Jianjun said with a straight face, and when Wu Zhongqiang cowered into the house, he said with a straight face, "Your little brother has something to ask you, you listen well, answer well!" ”
Wu Tian hurriedly waved his hand at the uncle, then pulled Wu Zhongqiang and said, "Second brother, when did you go to the winery on the thirtieth night?" ”
When Wu Zhongqiang heard this, his face suddenly turned a little green again, and his eyes looked at Wu Tian very unpleasantly.
"Ask you, speak!" Wu Jianjun hated the way.
Wu Zhongqiang had a bitter face and said in a whisper: "It's just when it's dark......"
When Wu Tian heard this, he nodded with a smile and said, "Uncle, I'll just say, although the second brother is thirty years old, the second brother will not run to the winery outside the village after ten o'clock." It seems that I guessed correctly, this fire was not burned because of the second brother's cannons. ”
"Huh? What did you say? Wu Jianjun's eyes widened suddenly.
"How early do you think it gets dark in winter? The second brother went to the winery when it was just dark, and it was past ten o'clock when the winery caught fire. Wu Tian said.
"Well, said the fire brigade. It may be that it didn't burn at the time. Smoldered for a long time. The fire has just grown......" Wu Jianjun said.
"Hmph, this explanation makes sense elsewhere, but it doesn't make sense at all in our winery, the alcohol is on fire, where is there such a thing as smoldering?" Wu Tian said, "If it is really the second brother who set off the cannon and led the winery, not to mention that the fire will burn after four or five hours, I am afraid that the second brother may not be able to come out of the winery on the spot!" ”
Wu Jianjun was stunned. Yes, when Wu Tian said this, this is really the truth. The distillery is different from ordinary pyre, that is, the fire starts immediately.
Speaking carefully, the county's fire brigade is really not very reliable, not to mention their level of investigation of the cause of the fire, even if they simply fight the fire. After the fire broke out at that time, he called the fire brigade and Wu Jianguo at the same time, but he waited for more than half an hour, and even Wu Jianguo went to the scene for half a day. Waiting impatiently, the fire brigade was late. And there is only that water tanker, and the spraying of water is not as fast as everyone in the village splashing water with a basin and bucket, and it is stunned to burn a good factory to the point that only broken bricks remain.
"Xiaotian, are you saying that I didn't set fire on the winery?" Wu Zhongqiang's eyes were dripping, and when he saw Wu Tian nodding with a smile, his neck suddenly stiffened, and he shouted at his father, "I've been beaten in vain!" ”
"What? Shouldn't Lao Tzu beat you? Wu Jianjun's voice was louder, and his eyes widened, "Even if you didn't light this fire, it won't be a loss to beat you!" You didn't listen to your little brother Tian, if you really set fire to the winery, you would have burned your turtle grandson to death! Go back to the house and endorse it! ”
Wu Zhongqiang couldn't help but feel aggrieved and regretful, but he was thinking in his heart, although it was wrong for us to sneak away and go to the factory to set off the cannon, but after all, we didn't light the winery, even if we should be beaten, but this beating was too ruthless......
After waiting for his son to leave, Wu Jianjun frowned and lit a bag of dry tobacco, took a few puffs, and then said, "Xiaotian, how did you say the winery started?" ”
Wu Tian smiled slightly and said, "What do you say?" ”
Wu Jianjun frowned deeply, and said, "Could it be someone...... Deliberately set fire? ”
Wu Tian said: "It's hard to say. I'll go back and look into the people from the county bureau. But uncle, the key issue now is not to catch the arsonist, but to prepare to rebuild the winery......"
"Rebuilding the winery?" Wu Jianjun shook his head with a wry smile and said, "How to rebuild?" The equipment has all been burned down, and there are more than 300 tons of grain money, most of which are owed to people, this is the New Year, if it is usual, I am afraid that the gate of our house will have been blocked by the accounts of the villages......"
"How much is more than 300 tons of grain worth?" Wu Tian said disdainfully.
"Seventy or eighty thousand!" Wu Jianjun said, "Also, the boss of the company gave us the equipment money, and we haven't given people a bonus in the past six months, so we can't say that it's hot, just rely on other people's accounts, right?" After all, the village is burdened with hundreds of thousands of debts! ”
"How? That's it, and when you fall, you can't move when you fall? Wu Tianji's words.
Wu Jianjun glared at him and said, "I want to rebuild the winery, but where can I get the money?" ”
"Looking for Boss Chang, he has money, and it's not easy to build a winery?" Wu Tian said with a smile.
Wu Jianjun suddenly came to his senses and said, "Boss Chang...... Would you like to give us another money to rebuild the winery? ”
"Why not?" Wu Tiandao, "Just by planting this little land in the village, when can I return the equipment money to him?" Either he will invest some more money to rebuild the winery, or the tens of thousands of yuan of equipment money in front of him will have to be wasted, what if you are you? ”
Wu Jianjun suddenly rubbed his hands excitedly, and his originally collapsed waist rod immediately straightened up, knocked the cigarette bag pot hard, rubbed his hands again, and then took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and lit a "two-end flat" ......
Wu Tian couldn't help but smile when he saw it, and said: "Uncle, the distillery must be rebuilt, and this time it will be built bigger, better, and more formal, and you can't do that grass platform team anymore!" Well, the key is management, this time it is best to find a professional to help the factory develop a strict management system......"
"Okay, okay, listen to your ......" Wu Jianjun nodded again and again, but suddenly frowned, looked at Wu Tian and said, "Xiaotian, you tell me the truth, isn't the money to build the winery yours?" ”
Wu Tian was stunned, oh no, let's talk smoothly, and we're evil again......
Wu Tianluo groaned, then looked at the uncle with flickering eyes, and said with a smile: "Uncle, I am a little child, where can I have so much money?" My dad knows that he still can't beat my ass? ”
Wu Jianjun looked at Wu Tian, smoking a cigarette, the smoke covered his face, but he could vaguely see the crow's feet wrinkled at the corners of his eyes......
