Chapter 47: Observe a leaf to know the spring and autumn
After sitting down for a while, Fang Dayong and Jia Nan led everyone to visit the brewing workshop.
In a huge workshop, all production materials are placed in an orderly manner, but there is no one there. This scene is as if the workers have just left for the holidays, and it does not make people feel that it has been stopped for more than half a year.
"Uncle Fang, you've been tired during this time!" Jia Nan has not been to the winery for a while, and he is moved to see the state of the workshop.
In the absence of a penny of wages, there is still a group of employees who can pay for the factory without the slightest slack.
See the subtle knowledge, observe a leaf to know the spring and autumn, look at the dripping water and know the sea.
From these subtleties, you can see the extraordinary nature of the Daimyo Distillery.
Fang Dayong didn't speak, just smiled. In his opinion, there is nothing worth saying about it.
Although he is not the boss, as the actual manager of the winery, during his management, the distillery's capital chain was broken and a large number of employees were lost, and he blamed himself in his heart.
After a visit, Mu Linfeng still recognized the winery very much.
Laboratory, filling workshop, conveying workshop, blending workshop, brewing workshop, fermentation workshop, boiler workshop, all workshop production equipment is well maintained and can continue production at any time.
"Good wine is brewed in three parts, and stored in seven."
No matter how good a new wine is, if it is not properly stored for a long time, the taste of the wine will be greatly reduced.
During fermentation, it is necessary to ensure that the microbial community is rich and stable, so that the grain can produce more flavor substances during fermentation, and the wine produced will taste more mellow.
Moreover, liquor is a product with strong regional characteristics, so each fermentation vessel is a product adapted to local conditions.
Generally, the cellar for brewing soy sauce wine has a stone wall and a mud bottom, and the four walls are made of strip-like gravel, red sandstone and clay, and the bottom of the cellar is laterite.
The standard sauce-flavored cellar is four meters long, 2.8 meters wide and three meters high, and each cellar can be filled with 12 to 15 tons of grain.
The sake of the Daimyo Distillery is of a strong flavor type, and this fermentation tank is different.
There are two types of aromatic wine cellar pools.
The first is the traditional cellar: the four walls and the bottom of the cellar are made of yellow mud, with an average volume of 10 cubic meters.
The second is to build a cellar manually: it is built with high-quality mud, cellar skin mud, old cellar mud, old cellar yellow water liquid, Daqu powder, Nanzhu nails, taro hemp silk and other materials, and can not use bricks, strip stones and cement as materials. The capacity is larger than that of traditional mud cellars.
There is an old saying that "a thousand-year-old cellar is a thousand-year-old tank, and the wine is good because the cellar is old." ”
The sake cellar of the Daimyo Distillery is very well maintained, and the entire cellar is filled with the aroma of sake, mixed with the aroma of grain.
The workshop went around in a circle, and Mu Linfeng's confidence was even stronger.
The essence of marketing is products, although some companies rely on genius marketing methods to sell a lot of some products that are not very productive.
But after the marketing heat, people return to rationality, and the motivation to pay for the goods will still return to the goods themselves.
"Qingwen, if you go to register a company, how long will it take at the earliest?" Mu Linfeng asked.
"It normally takes about a month, and if I trust the relationship, it will take three days at most!" Han Qingwen patted his chest and replied.
"Okay, I'll get ready for this when I get back from the distillery today! Let's set up a company first, and then cooperate with Daimyo Distillery in the name of this company. Mu Linfeng said.
When Han Qingwen heard this, he immediately took out his mobile phone and called the secretariat of Han Ji Jewelry. Let the other side do some groundwork first.
After explaining Han Qingwen's registration of the new company, Mu Linfeng, Jia Nan, and Fang Dayong returned to the conference room to discuss cooperation.
"Jia Nan, before I came, I was going to participate in the Daimyo Distillery in the form of a shareholding. But after visiting the winery and listening to your introduction. To be honest, I changed my mind. Mu Linfeng looked at the two and said.
Jia Nan and Fang Dayong's faces changed, and they both thought that Mu Linfeng was not going to help them.
"Mr. Mu, when you visited the workshop, was there anything that made you dissatisfied?" Jia Nan asked as he accompanied Caution.
Fang Dayong didn't speak, his face was a little not good-looking, and he looked at Mu Linfeng with complicated eyes.
At this time, there were only three of them in the conference room, and the rest were waiting outside the conference room.
Mu Linfeng saw the thoughts of the two, and said with a smile: "Jia Nan, Elder Fang." Don't get me wrong! I'm not going back! I, Mu Linfeng, am not the kind of person who goes back on his word. ”
"What's going on?" Fang Dayong asked suspiciously.
Mu Linfeng asked, "Jia Nan, how much was the valuation of the Daimyo Distillery in its heyday?" ”
"Ten and five billion!" Janan replied.
"Jia Nan, Elder Fang. The infrastructure of the daimyo brewery, the natural environment, and the cohesion of the employees are excellent. It can be said that the location is advantageous, and people occupy the same, but the luck is not good, and when I meet the villain, it artificially leads to the idleness of such excellent assets! Mu Linfeng said.
"Mr. Mu, since that's the case. So why did you discourage the idea of investing in a daimyo distillery? Jia Nan asked puzzled.
"Because I can't afford it!" Mu Linfeng said.
As soon as these words came out, Jia Nan and Fang Dayong were surprised. Can't afford it, so what is it to tease them before?
Jia Nan was also a little displeased, and said, "Mr. Mu, you shouldn't be making me happy, right?" ”
Mu Linfeng smiled: "Hehe, Jia Nan." Hear me out. I don't have 15 billion in cash, but if I go to the bank to mortgage my equity in Han Kee Jewelry. The money was still taken out. ”
"Hey, Mr. Mu. Don't beat around the bush. I'm old and have a bad heart. Just say it! Fang Dayong stood up anxiously and said.
"If I take a stake in a daimyo distillery, I can increase the market value of the distillery several times within a year. Because the conditions of this winery are so good, all that is lacking is sales channels and marketing methods! ”
"With the current valuation to buy shares, you have lost too much. If I use the market value of a year from now to buy shares, I really don't have any money! ”
Jia Nan and Fang Dayong were a little confused.
"I had a sales channel, so I decided to set up a company to act as an agent for the sales of Daimyo Distillery. Three months to let Janan pay off his debts! To get the daimyo distillery back on track, there is no need to invest in it now. ”
When Fang Dayong heard this, he was a little unconvinced.
Jia Nan said: "Mr. Mu, are you serious? ”
Mu Linfeng nodded and said, "Jia Nan, I will give you a billion funds, and you can use this money to pay off part of the debts that are due, and it is best to dispose of the debts owed to the private loan company first." The rest of the money is used to pay salaries, buy raw materials, and resume production! ”
"Mr. Mu, our wine cellar is full now, and you can see it. If production resumes, there will be more in stock! 50,000 tons of stored wine, I can't dispose of it for a while! Fang Dayong said.
"Elder Fang, I said that I will be able to sell these wines soon. The billion funds are divided into two parts, of which 500 million are counted as the ones I lent to Jia Nan, let's calculate them according to the interest on normal bank loans! Mu Linfeng replied.
Jia Nan nodded, his eyes full of gratitude.
"The remaining 500 million is my margin. The money will be placed in the Daimyo Distillery until the end of our cooperation! During the cooperation period, I will not touch the money. However, there is a condition, if there are more orders from the winery in the future, I must give priority to my orders. ”
"That's nature!" Fang Dayong heard Mu Linfeng's words and his face was overjoyed.
The trouble that Jia Nan is in trouble now is the debts owed to the people, and those people are unscrupulous in forcing debts. The remaining 500 million is enough to resume production.
"But I have conditions! The wine given to me by the Daimyo Distillery cannot be labeled with your brand, I will label it with my own. Can you say yes? Mu Linfeng asked.
"That's no problem, we also had orders before that were specifically processed for others." Janan replied.
"What was the previous billing period you gave to the dealer?" Mu Linfeng asked.
"Small customers are cash pick-up, and large customers are generally month-to-month. The dealers we train ourselves have a three-month billing period. Fang Dayong replied.
"Okay, then it's going to take three months, and it won't take up too much of your funds, how about it?" Mu Linfeng asked.
"Mr. Mu, don't say three months. It's half a year, no problem. Jia Nan said hurriedly.
Mu Linfeng smiled and waved his hand, indicating that he didn't need that long account period.
"Also, after the inventory is processed, I need to adjust the recipe of the wine. In the future, it may be necessary to set aside a special place to produce my order. Is it possible? Mu Linfeng asked.
"No problem! It can be done! Fang Dayong replied.
"Is there anything you don't understand about these requests?" Mu Linfeng looked at the two of them and asked.
Jia Nan and Fang Dayong glanced at each other, and Jia Nan asked, "Mr. Mu, I know that you have strong financial strength. But with so much inventory, what are you going to do with it? ”
"Well, it's not that I don't trust you. If you use such money to help us, I'm worried about you! Jia Nan was kind, and then said the question in his heart.
In fact, this is also what Fang Dayong wanted to ask, he never believed that Mu Linfeng could sell these stored wines in just a few months.
"Well, to dispel your doubts, I tell you!"
"I will repackage these wines, brand them, make them into high-end brands, and sell them jointly with the hotels of the Su Group, and this is my sales channel." Mu Linfeng said.
"Is it the holding company of Haizhou Pearl Hotel, Su's Group?" Janan asked.
"Yes, the Su Group has more than 200 high-end hotels in Kyushu, and these 200 hotels are fully capable of selling these stored wines! Of course, this is because your wine is of really good quality. Mu Linfeng said.
Jia Nan looked suspicious and asked, "But, Mr. Mu, it is not easy to reach cooperation with the Su Group. I know that their hotel is doing a great job of catering, and many wine companies want to work with them. ”
"yes, they think our wine is too cheap!" Fang Dayong added.
"Oh, that, Su Qingyi of the Su Group is my father-in-law!" Mu Linfeng said.
Jia Nan and Fang Dayong looked incredulous, and finally understood why Mu Linfeng was so confident that he could dispose of so much wine in a short period of time.
Indeed, if a sales cooperation is reached with Su's Group, let alone 50,000 tons of liquor. Just a little more, and sales aren't a problem.
