Li Zhonghua didn't want to bother too much, of course, it was better to find a ready-made brewery.

It is not far from the outside of Chang'an City, and it is just within the acceptable range of Li Zhonghua.

The winery is located 20 miles away by a river, which is the main river in and out of Chang'an, and the traffic is very convenient.

The winery is very large, and the big ones surprised Li Zhonghua, but they were also very surprised, in his heart, the bigger the winery, the better.

Not only that, but the winery also includes hundreds of acres of open space, all of which are fenced.

The owner of the winery is surnamed Wu, named Wu Li, a person from the local village, not far from the wine field, is Wujia Village, there are about 100 families.

According to Wu Li, at the peak of the winery, most of the villagers worked in the winery to make money.

"If this winery used to be so prosperous, why can't it now?" Li Zhonghua felt very strange and asked.

"The year before last, the drought in the nearby prefectures and counties caused grain prices to skyrocket, so in order to save costs, my brother went south to Yangzhou with a lot of money to buy grain.

Originally, everything went smoothly, and several boats of grain were brought back, but when the last boatload of grain was about to arrive in Chang'an Xiao County, due to the history of the river drying up and the water level dropping, the big ship transporting grain could not pass at all, so it had to be transported by land.

Due to the early morning, Xiaoxian gathered a lot of disaster victims, and when they saw the grain ship docking, they rushed wildly, and my brother was willing to give in, but he was beaten to death by the victims, and even the villagers who accompanied him were killed and injured hundreds of people.

The money from the winery was used to buy grain, and the hundreds of dead and injured villagers were in urgent need of compensation, so they could have sold the grain they had brought back to compensate the villagers.

However, the grain ship of the imperial court also arrived in Chang'an at the same time, and the price of grain in Chang'an fell sharply, and it was too expensive to sell, and it was cheap and at a loss.

Last year and this year, when the wind and rain were good, the grain was even less valuable, and the fruit everywhere was harvested, the fruit wine flooded the market, and the price of grain wine also fell, making it more difficult to do business.

Besides, after my brother left, my brother and sister were left with a few children, and the business was even more difficult to do, and the villagers kept urging them to compensate their dead relatives.

Now they can only transfer this winery, at least after compensating the villagers, there will still be a sum of money left, enough for their orphans and widows, and they will have no worries for a lifetime. ”

"According to you, this winery is not yours, but your brother's?" Li Zhonghua said.

"I am the head of Wujia Village in this village, my brother is gone, and my brother and sister are inconvenient, so I can only try my best to help.

Moreover, when my brother was alive, I also helped manage the production and operation of the winery, and I also had a part in the winery. My brother was in charge of running outside, buying raw materials, and contacting sales.

As soon as my brother left, I had no friendship with the sellers at all, some of the payments were not paid clearly, and those merchants did not admit the accounts. Wu Li explained.

Li Zhonghua nodded in understanding and asked, "How much money are you going to transfer in the winery?" ”

"This winery was my brother's life's work, he had great ambitions, wanted to be the largest winery in Chang'an, and bought 150 acres of land by the river, according to the current market, it is worth at least 1,800 yuan.

The winery has complete winemaking tools, and as long as you recruit workers, you can make wine, and my brother invested tens of thousands of dollars in this winery.

There are also 30,000 stone of grain stored in the warehouse, which is worth 15,000 yuan at market price.

There are five buckets and one jar of wine, and there are also tens of thousands of jars of wine, worth thousands of dollars. And the wine made from the wild fruits, which shall be given to you as an additive.

I want you a total of 30,000 yuan, which is not much, right? Wu Li looked at Li Zhonghua and said.

"Aren't you only making grain wine here? How does this make fruit wine? Li Zhonghua asked in surprise.

"Fruit wine has always been brewing, in the past, grain was expensive, how many ordinary people could afford to drink grain wine, fruit wine is cheap and easy to sell, and the profit is not bad, which big winery does not make fruit wine for sale.

Unlike now, grain wine is not worth much, and fruit wine is even less valuable. Wu Li shook his head and said.

"Then how much fruit wine do you brew here and haven't sold yet?"

"There are probably tens of thousands of jars of wine, but the jar for fruit wine is relatively large, and it uses a large water tank, and there are 100 buckets of a shortage."

"A hundred buckets in one cylinder, ten thousand cylinders?" Li Zhonghua gasped, a bucket of wine is equivalent to four catties, a hundred buckets is four hundred catties, and ten thousand jars of wine are four million catties, how can he not be surprised.

"If you don't want it, I'll ask the villagers to come and move out." Wu Li thought that Li Zhonghua was troublesome and didn't want it, so he hurriedly said.

Now these fruit wines are rotten on the street, and a bucket of three cents and two cents a bucket are also sold by a lot of people.

He has so much fruit wine in the winery, and he wholesales it for a penny, and it is too expensive.

"Keep it! There is no problem with 30,000 yuan, but I have to take over the winery and continue to make wine, can I still find the skilled workers in the winery? ”

Of course, Li Zhonghua will not be so stupid, he doesn't want the fruit wine given for free, let people move away.

"Of course, those people are basically from their own village, or from nearby villages, and if you continue to hire them to work, it's too late for them to be happy!

Actually, as the village chief, I was going to mention this matter to you, but I didn't expect you to take the initiative to hire people from the village to do things, thank you so much. ”

After negotiating the price, the work problem of the people in the village was solved, and Wu Li was very happy.

Let's go to the warehouse to take a look, and roughly check the grain and wine in the warehouse.

Although it is estimated that Wu Li will not lie to him, he has seen it with his own eyes, and his heart is a little more steady.

The business of Chang'an Restaurant is very good, and 30,000 yuan is nothing to Li Zhonghua now.

After the tooth bank issued a transaction contract, and both parties signed and signed the pledge, this winery became Li Zhonghua's property.

Li Zhonghua asked Wu Li to gather among the villagers who wanted to work in the winery to sign up for the winery and take over the winery, but there were no workers.

Hearing that someone had taken over the brewery and was ready to start making wine again, and was willing to hire them, the villagers were happy to run to the brewery, for fear that they would not accept anyone if they were late.

Li Zhonghua talked to Wu Li again and asked him if he would like to stay and continue to help him manage the winery.

Li Zhonghua first had no candidates in his hands, and secondly, he felt that although Wu Li did not have any business minds, there should be no problem in managing the operation of this winery.

The workers of these wineries are mainly from Wujia Village, and Wu Li is the village chief of Wujia Village, so it is most suitable for him to manage them.

Wu Li actually has a lot of feelings for this winery, and after a few resignations, he happily agreed to Li Zhonghua.

There is no way, Li Zhonghua gave him the conditions, an annual salary of 600 yuan, and a year-end bonus reward for doing well, such a temptation is really irresistible.

You must know that even the income of Yin Dis of Jingzhao Mansion is three hundred yuan a year, and the salary offered by Li Zhonghua to Wu Li is fully double that of Yin of Jingzhao Mansion, how can Wu Li refuse.

And the villagers are also very happy, in the past, their income from working in the winery was three times a month, and they already think it is very good.

Now the new boss Li Zhonghua has announced that the monthly salary for them is five yuan, and now the income of two months is more than the usual money for three months in the past, who will be unhappy!
