The National Health Conference is over and all participants are going to visit Zunyi, the holy land of revolution.
This reason is fair and square. Of course, this kind of visit actually has a great symbolic meaning. In fact, it is basically a public tour.
For example, after leaving the Zunyi Conference Memorial Hall, everyone was supposed to visit the ferry crossing the Chishui River to commemorate the martyrs. However, because someone wanted to go to the Maotai Distillery, the group was diverted and went to Renji instead. Go away in your arms.
Of course there is also the Chishui River in Renhuai, and the Red Army also passed through Maotai Town back then. So do you think it should be remembered in memory?
These days, most men like to drink. As long as they drink, there is no one who doesn’t love Moutai.
Normally, everyone is at home and there is basically no alcohol to drink in the workplace due to limited conditions, but when we arrive in Maotai Town, are we still in need of a drink? Many cadres had already wiped their saliva, prepared peanuts, and decided to get drunk.
All the leaders of Moutai Distillery were waiting at the door early.
As soon as Leader Zhou got out of the car, he pulled Lin Sanqi over:
“Lao Yuan, come, let me introduce you. This is Director Lin of the Capital Infectious Disease Hospital. Don’t look at it. He is still young, but like you, he is already at the official level. This time, he mainly wants to come to Maotai Distillery. We are all incidental to the visit.
I can tell you first that you must be well received. If you are well received, Dean Lin has a lot of US dollars in foreign exchange cash and countless penicillins. Great landowners, please don’t let me go.”
Director Yuan of Maotai Distillery is also at the official level, but he still says the same thing: Beijing officials are automatically promoted to the third level after they go to the local level.
So Director Yuan enthusiastically held Lin Sanqi’s hand. Although he didn’t understand why the director of a hospital had so much foreign exchange, he was a veteran cadre and the leaders had hinted that this bit of discernment was still some.
"It turns out to be Director Lin. I have admired you for a long time. Welcome to visit our Moutai factory."
Lin Sanqi also quickly held her hands: "Director Yuan, I will secretly drink with you later. Don’t beat me out!”
Hehehe~~~
The atmosphere was relaxed.
Minister Li also walked over slowly at this time. Now she was in the most relaxed mood. She completely regarded herself as a tourist, so she joked:
"Director Yuan, you said I have admired you for a long time. , then I want to test you, what do you admire about this young dean?”
Everyone? Everyone thought that the little factory director might be overturned and unable to answer, but Director Yuan actually smiled:
"President Lin is the first doctor in the world to conquer tuberculosis, and he is also the youngest in the country. Director of the national hospital, Minister Li, how about it? Did I say something wrong?”
The old lady took the lead in applauding:
“Okay~~ Even a remote place like Guizhou knows that our country has conquered tuberculosis, which shows that publicity has been in place and laid the foundation for the subsequent promotion of anti-tuberculosis treatment nationwide. A solid foundation!”
The cadres of the various local health systems and the deans of each system nodded slightly and fell into thought.
Minister Li always sticks to his profession, but these department directors and deans know that in the future, major hospitals in all provinces will rush for tuberculosis projects and drugs.
In the 1950s and 1960s, the Maotai Distillery had not yet built modern office buildings and factories. Everything was still dominated by old bungalows.
Both the factory and the wine cellar are built against the mountain. At the foot of the mountain is the Chishui River. The water for making Moutai liquor is taken from Chishui. Without Chishui, it will not work. It is very magical.
Just like the best rice wine must be brewed with Jianhu water, the taste of other water sources will not be the same.
After Director Yuan led everyone into the factory, he began to introduce enthusiastically:
“The history of our Moutai can be traced back to the 43rd year of Kangxi, that is, 1704. Years.
At that time, a distillery named "Gesheng Shaofang" officially named the liquor they produced Maotai liquor. According to the "Old Zunyi Prefecture Chronicles" of the Qing Dynasty, during the Daoguang period, there were no less than 20 Maotai Shaofang, and the number of Liquor they produced was Moutai. No more than 20,000 shi of food are needed.
Before liberation, the most famous Maotai liquor was mainly divided into three distilleries, namely Chengyi Shaofang, Ronghe Shaofang and Hengxing Shaofang. The row of houses you see now was originally the winery of Ronghe Shaofang, and it is still functioning now.
After liberation, we bought these three burned houses with 130 million yuan of old currency. With the strong support of the country and the province, our Moutai Distillery is now becoming more and more brilliant, and its output is also increasing. high. "
Lin Sanqi was shocked when he heard this:
"Wow, the country is very courageous. They spent 130 million to buy the old winery just after liberation. Then the original winery owner He suddenly became the richest man in the country, surpassing the Rong family, right? ”
Director Yuan was a little embarrassed after hearing this.
Minister Li didn't have so many worries and laughed loudly after hearing this:
"Xiao Lin, you didn't listen carefully. It cost 130 million old coins. If you exchange it for current banknotes, it would only be 13,000 yuan. Hmm. , But this is also a huge sum of money. "
Well, the old winery was sold for ten thousand yuan. I'm afraid the boss was not so willing, right?
Director Yuan knew that this topic should not be discussed in detail. The Ronghe burned houses were indeed half sold and half given away, but the Chengyi burned houses and Hengxing burned houses were voluntarily donated by their bosses.
"Dear leaders, let me report to you again that in 1950, the annual output of Moutai was only 72 tons. Through the joint efforts of all our factory employees, by last year, in 1960, our total annual output of Moutai had reached The highest record was 921 tons
It is equivalent to more than 1.9 million bottles of 500ml Moutai. Leaders, this number is incredible. It is definitely a prosperous situation. Among them, domestic sales volume was 881 tons, and the most gratifying thing was that export sales reached 40 tons. "
As soon as these words fell, a burst of warm applause broke out from the visiting crowd.
Lin Sanqi also gave a thumbs up and praised repeatedly: "It's amazing. In such a difficult situation, So much liquor was produced under these conditions. "
Actually, Lin Sanqi felt bitter in her heart. She thought, damn it, we don't have enough to eat. Do you still have grain to make wine?
At this time, a director from other places laughed. Asked:
"Director Yuan, I have heard that all your Moutai songs are made by the feet of beautiful young unmarried lesbians. Is this true? Haha."
People, I like it the most. Listening to the gossip, many people pricked up their ears.
Director Yuan was a little embarrassed again, so he had no choice but to explain:
“This, this, is also a tradition of our Moutai. We choose the best grains and the best quality. The winemakers all use traditional techniques to make wine, in order to make the wine Don't worry, people.
If the people know that our koji is made by the dirty feet of men, then who can drink Maotai in the future? Girls are more hygienic, and the koji is made by their little feet. It’s also more hygienic, right?”
Almost all of the people present were old men, and the old men naturally smiled and said nothing.
The old men were thinking about the scenes of beautiful women, but Lin Sanqi had something on her mind.
When he thought that the annual output of Moutai Distillery reached more than 900 tons last year, he became a little scared. Do he have enough money to buy Moutai?
Moutai has been mythologized and financialized decades later.
Before Lin Sanqi developed, urban village residents like him simply could not afford to drink. A bottle of Maotai liquor cost more than 2,000 yuan. One ton of Maotai liquor can be packed into 2,124 500ml bottles, which is equivalent to more than 400 yuan per ton. Ten thousand.
More than 900 tons of Moutai can be sold for at least 4 billion.
This is only the price of new wine. If you get an old Moutai, one of a special year, maybe a small bottle of Moutai can be used to buy an apartment in Huadu. It’s that exaggerated.
It is not that Lin Sanqi cannot afford 4 billion, but he feels that only crazy people would spend all their wealth to buy Maotai.
With various moods, everyone followed Factory Director Yuan to continue the visit.
Lin Sanqi thought about what she just said, so she asked:
"Director Yuan, how do you calculate the price of exporting Moutai?"
"Director Lin, we export Moutai mainly in exchange for materials. If we really want to exchange for foreign exchange, how much foreign exchange can 40 tons of Moutai be exchanged for? Now The domestic version only costs more than 3,000 yuan per ton
Even if the export price is slightly higher, it only costs 2,000 yuan per ton in US dollars, which adds up to 40 tons of Maotai. We can only get 80,000 US dollars, which can only be said to be better than nothing, so we mainly exchange materials with foreign businessmen in Xiangjiang.
For example, for one ton of Maotai, we can exchange for 40 tons of steel or 30 tons of gasoline. It’s a material that is in short supply in the country. It’s a pity, it seems that foreigners don’t like drinking liquor very much, otherwise it would be better to trade more.”
Huh?
Lin Sanqi's eyes lit up. One ton of Moutai costs more than 3,000 yuan. Even if calculated at the official exchange rate of 1:2.5, it is only more than 1,200 US dollars. I will raise the price for you and calculate it as 2,000 US dollars.
Then your 900 tons of Maotai, Lin Sanqi, is only 1.8 million U.S. dollars, but the problem is that he has a full 6 million U.S. dollars in hand, and he can’t spend it all. He can’t spend it all.
What's more, if the other party wants steel or gasoline, Lin Sanqi can also provide it. It's such a simple thing.
Traveling all day long, Lin Sanqi sometimes had no time to catch up on jet lag, and her mind was always groggy. Sure enough, she would think about some things.
Leader Zhou is a good person. When Lin Sanqiyi heard that a ton of wine cost more than a thousand dollars, he suddenly became energetic and immediately knew that something was wrong.
Minister Li said, this guy has 6 million US dollars and so much smuggled penicillin, so he can't let this fat fish get away.
So Leader Zhou directly transformed into a salesman and began to help Moutai Distillery deceive Lin Da’s enemy.
"Director Xiaolin, that's not how the accounts are calculated. As I said before, new wine has the price of new wine, and old wine has the price of old wine. In this way, Director Yuan, you can take everyone to visit the wine cellar. "Visit." Director Yuan was a little unsure, so he asked in a low voice:
"Leader, which wine cellar should you take them to?"
Leader Zhou also bit his ears and said softly:
"Dean Xiaolin is in a special situation. He now has 6 million U.S. dollars in his hands. We strive to keep all his money. 6 million U.S. dollars can make us a leader in Guizhou." How much pressure can we reduce by becoming the province that earns the most foreign exchange in the country?
Don’t take out the wine from ordinary wine cellars. This Dean Xiaolin is easy to cheat, and he will follow. There are many hidden dragons among these two hundred people, and the evaluation is very bad, so you open the secret old wine cellar.
Old Yuan, now is not the time to feel sorry for the wine. We can do it if the wine is gone. We will continue to brew, but it will delay the country’s foreign exchange policy and let go of the 6 million US dollars. If the superiors find out, we will also be criticized.”
Director Yuan nodded repeatedly when he heard this.
When choosing between one's own black hat and the old wine in stock, a fool chooses the old wine, keeping the wine but not others for the sake of so-called loyalty.
He was the director of the factory for a few years anyway, and he left with a pat on the back. Even if he had to worry, it was only a matter for the latecomer.
People are selfish, so it is difficult for state-owned enterprises to operate here.
"Minister Li, President Xiao Lin, and other leaders, it is rare that so many distinguished guests are here today, so just now, under the instructions of the leaders, I am preparing to open the old wine cellar of our Moutai Distillery. The Moutai inside is all It is more than 10 years old, very precious, and is rarely open to the public.”
The old lady was happy: “Okay, let’s try the uniqueness of the cellared Maotai.”
The others also became interested upon hearing this, so under the leadership of Director Yuan, they walked to the foot of a mountain.
As I got closer, I realized that there were many green military uniforms standing guard at the door. Director Yuan said a few words before these green military uniforms got out of the way.
Lin Sanqi thought that she would send regular soldiers to guard the wine cellar. There must be treasures in it. It seemed that she was here this time.
The staff opened the wine cellar door and turned on the lights. What appeared in front of everyone were large wine tanks.
The wine jar is so big that it is a bit difficult for two big men to hold it together.
Looking around, you can see endless pottery jars inside this huge wine cellar dug out of the mountain.
In addition to the huge wine vats, there are also bottles of filled Moutai wine, which are stacked on top of each other. The styles include earthenware bottles, white porcelain bottles, ceramic bottles, milk glass bottles, etc. .
Although all Maotai liquors are sealed, the aroma of the sauce cannot be concealed. Every leader who entered the cave was sniffing hard.
It seems that all the gluttons in my stomach have been brought out.
Of course Lin Sanqi is extremely satisfied. As a smuggler, what he likes most is to clean out other people’s warehouses and take away all the inventory together, just like he cleared out the Tonghua Ginseng Headquarters a few months ago. Same as warehouse.
Director Yuan introduced with a smile at this time:
“The wine cellar you see is the real soul of our Moutai distillery. The highest vintage of Moutai here is 60 years old, and the lowest vintage is already 60 years old. They are 10 years old.
Among them are "Huamao", "Wangmao" and "Wangmao". "Lai Mao", these are the stocks of the three major house-burning factories before liberation, all are here.
In addition, after liberation, the "Gongnong Brand", "Jinlun Brand", "Five Star Brand", " Feitian brand "All stocks are here."
"All years are available?"
When Lin Sanqi heard this, his eyes began to shine, and he asked excitedly:
"Director Yuan, do you have the Laimao liquor produced in 1935? Show it to me."
Director Yuan waved his hand, and a staff member stepped forward and took out a bottle of wine from one of the caves.
The wine bottle is cylindrical, wrapped in a thick layer of paper, with the red Latin pinyin LayMao written on the upper part, a bird with spread wings in the middle, and the word "Lai Mao" written below.
Lin Sanqi took the bottle of Moutai and smiled so hard that she couldn’t close her mouth:
"Yes, yes, this is Laimao. The packaging is exactly the same, hahaha."
Before coming to Moutai Distillery, Lin Sanqi had already checked the information back in 2014, the year in which Moutai had the highest auction price. The wine is the bottle of Laimao liquor produced in 1935 in his hand.
A bottle of wine was auctioned off by Hu Jian, a big enemy, for 10.7 million yuan, becoming the "king of the standard" in the history of liquor.
It is said that in 1935, there were only 6 bottles of Laimao liquor in existence, so various publicity was given as to how precious and precious it was.
Of course Lin Sanqi does not believe in this "hype myth". The ginseng and cordyceps he sells are originally the product of capital speculation, including the tangerine peel and fish maw.
This time he will also take advantage of capital and make a fortune in Maotai.
Didn’t you pay 1,070 yuan for a bottle of 1935 Lai Mao liquor? Two years later, he even made bold claims, saying that the price had risen to 15 million yuan per bottle.
When the time comes, he will bring out a bottle of Lin Sanqi and give it a half discount, 7.5 million for a bottle. Does anyone want it?
Thinking of this, Lin Sanqi came back to his senses and asked:
"Director Yuan, how much inventory do you have of Laimao Liquor in 1935?"
The warehouse keeper next to him answered on his behalf: "Boss, we don't have much inventory now, only 300 bottles."
Director Yuan quickly explained: "Dean Lin, these were all private wineries before liberation. It’s in stock. 300 bottles is indeed not much, but there are many other brands of Moutai from other years.”
300 bottles is not much? Enough is enough, enough is enough.
Lin Sanqi was ecstatic. Even if you charge 7.5 million for a bottle, the total of 300 bottles would theoretically be more than 2 billion yuan. Wouldn't it be great to make a fortune?
Lin Sanqi thought again of the 1953 Lun brand Moutai he had given to several deans of Huadu Medical University. This bottle was worth 1.5 million.
"Director Yuan, let me ask you this again. How much inventory do we have of the wheel brand Moutai produced in 1953 after liberation?"
The warehouse manager was very smart and quickly ran to one of the caves and came out. He was holding two bottles of wine in his hand.
"Leader, take a look, is this the 1953 Jinlun brand Moutai you want?"
Lin Sanqi took it over, opened the wrapping paper, and revealed the earthenware bottle inside , this bottle is famous for its black and yellow sauce glaze appearance, and the "wheel brand" logo composed of wheat ears, gears and red stars is printed on the bottle.
Except for the new bottle, it is exactly the same as the Maotai he gave to several deans before.
Lin Sanqi was so ecstatic in her heart, thinking that the development history of Maotai liquor in the two eras was exactly the same. Fortunately.
"Excuse me, comrade, how many bottles of 53-year-old Jinlun brand Moutai do you have in stock now?"
The warehouse manager thought for a moment and said uncertainly:
"This was 8 years ago There is still a lot of it in stock. If you do the math, there are always at least 10,000 bottles. Half of them are in the cave over there."
At this time, Leader Zhou who was next to him was already there. It can be seen that this Dean Xiao Lin understands Maotai.
Although he didn't understand why the young dean designated the 1935 and 1953 Moutai, he knew that there must be a special meaning in it. It could be seen from the other person's smile that he must like it very much.
As long as you like it, you can sell it and exchange it for valuable foreign exchange, penicillin.
In fact, Leader Zhou also has selfish motives. This Maotai liquor is not his own. Storing it here will make it easier for future leaders.
Under the premise that the central government has already nodded in agreement, instead of taking advantage of others, it is better to take advantage of Zhou Yushan and sell all Maotai in exchange for US dollars and penicillin, which are all his political achievements.
Even if most of Maotai here is owned by the central government, the province still has one-third ownership, and 2 million US dollars is enough.
Thinking of this, Leader Zhou made up his mind: (End of chapter)
