Chapter 110: Taking Down the County Distillery

Gong Kailin didn't like Zhou Andong at first sight, and now seeing Zhou Andong being so strong, completely not taking them seriously, he was even more disgusted. If it weren't for Zuo Peiming being here, he would have slapped the table and left long ago.

"If you are so insincere, how can we talk?"

Zhou Andong looked at Gong Kailin indifferently: "I'm a straightforward person, don't blame me for speaking ugly words. Do you have any idea how much the county distillery is worth? I came with sincerity, but..."

Speaking of this, Zhou Andong pointed to his own head, "It doesn't mean I didn't bring my brain. 13.8 million, I can acquire three and a half distilleries of the same scale as the county distillery. Not to mention others, just say Yixian and Heifeng County distilleries, compared with them, what advantages do you have? In my eyes, the only advantage, and the reason I chose the Jinli County Distillery, is that it is close to the city, only more than 30 miles away. Otherwise, why would I choose you?"

"4 million is the price I evaluated for the county distillery. As for the land, it is the least valuable. I would think 10,000 is too much. So, the normal value of your county distillery is 40,000. I added a premium of 2 million, giving you 60,000, not because the distillery is worth this price, but because the city and Deputy Mayor Zuo are inclined to you in terms of price, so I made a concession."

Zuo Peiming looked at Zhou Andong in surprise. He was indeed inclined to the Jinli County Distillery, but he didn't say anything. This kid could actually guess his thoughts, which couldn't be explained by simple cleverness. It was thinking about problems from the perspective of others, which was really too amazing, and also made him more satisfied and liked Zhou Andong more.

Zhou Andong picked up the cigarette placed in front of him and lit it, then continued: "There is one more point, which is to form a good relationship with you. After all, the distillery is under your nose, so spending 2 million more is to buy peace of mind."

This was polite, but the implied meaning was not so friendly. I gave you 2 million more, so don't look for trouble for no reason, otherwise, it won't look good for everyone in the end.

Zhou Andong was still so strong, looking at Gong Kailin: "If you think the distillery can be sold for 13.8 million in your hands, you can cancel this negotiation, and there is no need for us to waste each other's time. I go to Yixian and Heifeng County, and I can save one or two million, while you continue to operate this seriously loss-making enterprise, maybe someone who is not short of money will really buy the distillery for more than 13 million."

Zhou Andong's words were really not polite at all. Gong Kailin couldn't get off the stage, and the color on his face was green and red.

He didn't like Zhou Andong, and Zhou Andong didn't like him either. As for offending, Zhou Andong really wasn't afraid. As long as millions of taxes are handed over to Jinli County every year, a Gong Kailin can't make any trouble.

Kang Yu's brows furrowed tighter and tighter, looking at Lian Zhongyu and other county leaders. As for Factory Director Du Chunlai and Deputy Factory Directors Gu Chengan and Qu Wenjiang, they only had the share of listening.

"Let's discuss it!" Lian Zhongyu said.

Zhou Andong shrugged: "Okay!" After speaking, he stood up and greeted Gu Bing, "Accompany me to the toilet."

Gu Bing was just about to say he wouldn't go, and then realized, stood up and followed Zhou Andong out of the conference room.

"I said, you don't have to be so strong in negotiation, making everyone unhappy, and we have to deal with each other in the future."

Zhou Andong smiled: "We occupy the initiative, we must be strong, so that they can give up their illusions. Unless, you are really willing to pay double the price. Besides, those inside are all human spirits, no one is a fool, and no one will bring personal emotions into commercial negotiations. No, except for that Gong Kailin, his brain might really be sick."

In the conference room, Lian Zhongyu looked at Zuo Peiming: "Leader, can't you say something? 60,000, it's quite different from our expectations."

Zuo Peiming picked up the tea in front of him and took a sip: "I have already said that since Comrade Zhou Andong is in charge, I will not interfere with your negotiations. As for how much the distillery can be sold for, it depends on your own ability."

Lian Zhongyu smiled bitterly, looked at Kang Yu and the others: "What are your opinions?"

Jiang Wei was the most supportive of selling the distillery, "Although it didn't reach our expectations, the price of 60,000 is not low. Once the Jiangzhou Distillery gives up this acquisition, we will have no chance again. The final result is that the distillery rots in our own hands, and the hundreds of employees who lose their jobs will become time bombs."

Zuo Peiming looked at Jiang Wei appreciatively. This was the person who saw the matter most clearly and most soberly so far.

Kang Yu sighed. He still had a number in his heart about how much a seriously loss-making enterprise was worth. The reason for the lion's share was that the county's finances were a bit tight, and he wanted to take advantage of the Jiangzhou Distillery's urgent need to expand production capacity to ask for a high price to alleviate it.

"You only saw the present, but didn't see the future." Zuo Peiming said: "Under normal circumstances, your county distillery produces 700 tons a year, actually 1,000 tons is not a problem. Calculate carefully, how much is the annual tax? If I let Zhou Andong buy the county distillery for 13 million, he would definitely agree, but he would definitely be unhappy in his heart. Originally, there was a relationship between you, but it would be broken because of this. One day in the future, when the Jiangzhou Distillery expands production capacity again, it is possible to bypass your Jinli County, choose a site elsewhere, or move the distillery for some reason. How big will this loss be? Is it picking up sesame seeds and losing the watermelon?"

Kang Yu and Lian Zhongyu looked at each other, and seeing Lian Zhongyu nod, said: "We are short-sighted."

He really didn't think of these, just thinking about selling for a few million more to alleviate financial pressure.

After half an hour, Zhou Andong and Gu Bing returned, and instantly felt that the atmosphere in the conference room was much more relaxed than just now, and immediately understood that they had agreed.

"Comrade Zhou Andong!" Kang Yu said: "After discussion, we agree to sell the distillery at the price of 60,000."

Zhou Andong smiled, stood up and reached out to shake hands with Kang Yu: "Please believe me, this is definitely your wisest choice."

The next things were easy to talk about. In less than an hour, two copies of the contract were placed on the negotiation table. Zuo Peiming represented the city, Gu Bing represented the Jiangzhou Distillery, Kang Yu represented Jinli County, and Du Chunlai represented the county distillery, and signed the contract.

After signing the contract, the atmosphere was even more relaxed. Just as Zhou Andong said, no one would bring emotions into the negotiation. Of course, only Gong Kailin was an exception. That guy's face had been black, as if Zhou Andong had given him a green hat, and his eyes looking at Zhou Andong were very unkind. ===== CHAPTER 111 =====

He truly hadn't thought of these things; he had only been thinking about selling for a few million more to ease the financial pressure.

Half an hour later, Zhou Andong and Gu Bing returned. They instantly felt that the atmosphere in the conference room was much more relaxed than before, and they immediately understood that they had agreed.

"Comrade Zhou Andong!" Kang Yu said, "After discussion, we agree to sell the winery at the price of 60,000."

Zhou Andong smiled, stood up, reached out his hand, and shook Kang Yu's: "Please believe me, this is absolutely your wisest choice."

The subsequent matters were easy to discuss. In less than an hour, two copies of the contract were placed on the negotiation table. Zuo Peiming represented the city, Gu Bing represented Jiangzhou Winery, Kang Yu represented Jinli County, and Du Chunlai represented the county winery, and they signed the contract.

After the signing, the atmosphere became even more relaxed. Just as Zhou Andong had said, no one would bring their emotions into the negotiations—except, of course, for Gong Kailin. That guy's face had been dark the whole time, as if Zhou Andong had cuckolded him, and the look he gave Zhou Andong was very unfriendly.
