Chapter 127: Cancel Their Supply
At this time, the packaging workshop was also busy. Some people were labeling Jiang Xiaobai, and others were busy packaging Yugong Liquor.
Now the bottle of Yugong Liquor had been changed. Although it was still a glass bottle, whether it was texture or aesthetics, it was much better than before.
And there was a clear distinction between the 'Premium' type and the ordinary type bottle caps. The 'Premium' type was a red embossed aluminum bottle cap, which was a new type of anti-counterfeiting bottle cap. The ordinary type was a white aluminum anti-counterfeiting bottle cap, without embossing, with the words 'Jiangzhou Yugong' sprayed in ink.
In addition, the taste had also been slightly adjusted. Those who didn't drink often might not be able to distinguish it, but those who drank often could definitely taste the difference. Compared to the ordinary type, the taste of the 'Premium' type was more mellow and sweet.
The packaging workshop director was named Duan Yufeng, already 42 years old. She looked younger than her actual age, and was the kind of woman who looked very ordinary at first glance, but the more you looked, the more flavor she had. And she was a woman who walked with the wind and had a very decisive personality.
"Factory Director, Director Jian!" Duan Yufeng walked over.
Zhou Andong asked: "What are those people outside the workshop doing?"
Duan Yufeng said: "They are from the Heilongjiang Supply and Marketing Cooperative, and have been here. This batch of Yugong Liquor being packaged is their goods. Striving to finish the work before getting off work tonight, so they can take it away."
Zhou Andong said: "Tell them, this batch of goods has been given to someone else. If they are willing to wait, let them wait; if they aren't, let them go back."
Duan Yufeng was stunned, but this woman had one good point: if she didn't understand, she wouldn't ask if the leader didn't say, and she would resolutely execute it. This was also why she, a woman, could become a workshop director.
At the workshop entrance, Zhao Guang had a cigarette in his mouth, looking sideways, and said to the middle-aged man with great disdain: "Old Liu, are you still okay? Just looking at his shitty appearance, can he eat you? What's there to be afraid of?"
Zhao Guang's voice had just fallen when Duan Yufeng walked out and said to the middle-aged man with an apologetic face: "Captain Liu, I'm really sorry, you might still need to wait."
Captain Liu was shocked, "You... what does this mean?"
Duan Yufeng said: "Our factory director said, this batch of liquor has already been given to someone else. If you have time, you can wait a few more days. If you don't have time, you can go back first."
Captain Liu was dumbfounded: "Director Duan, we... we can't do things like this. It was already agreed that this batch of liquor was ours. How can you give it to someone else just like that?"
"I have no way either." Duan Yufeng said: "This was personally instructed by the factory director, I have no way."
"Personally instructed by Factory Director Zhang?" Captain Liu didn't believe it. He went to see Zhang Deyou on his first day here and offered a lot of tribute. How could he tear down his stage?
Duan Yufeng shook her head and said: "You are talking about Zhang Deyou, right? He has already resigned."
Captain Liu couldn't believe his ears, and then Duan Yufeng's words made him feel despair.
"Our factory director's surname is Zhou. He just went in, didn't you see?"
Captain Liu's head was buzzing. The young man just now was actually the factory director of Jiangzhou Liquor Factory. Now canceling the supply to them, the root cause must be with Zhao Guang.
If it were before the New Year, if you dared to threaten me and not supply me, I would block you, making any product produced by your factory unable to enter Heilongjiang Province. This was the confidence of the provincial Supply and Marketing Cooperative.
But now it wouldn't work. With the rapid development of the private economy, the Supply and Marketing Cooperative had lost its leading position in the market. For a product like Jiangzhou Yugong Liquor, which was selling hotly, the Supply and Marketing Cooperative couldn't get the goods, and private wholesalers would definitely move upon hearing the wind.
Captain Liu wanted to say something, but finally didn't say it, because he understood very clearly in his heart that saying anything now was useless, and he could only report to the leaders first and listen to the instructions from above.
"Director Duan, whether to wait or go back, I have to ask the leader for instructions first."
Captain Liu looked coldly at Zhao Guang: "Let's go."
Although Zhao Guang was like a 'two', he wasn't really stupid. He already knew he had caused trouble, but he still had a look of seven not convinced and eight not convinced.
Watching Captain Liu and the others leave, Duan Yufeng smiled proudly. Once upon a time, they begged grandpa and grandma to promote liquor, and people wouldn't even look at them straight. Now she could raise her head and refuse the Supply and Marketing Cooperative, and it was still a provincial-level one. This was something she didn't even dare to dream of before.
Seeing Jian Qiu picked up a bottle of Jiang Xiaobai, looked at the cartoon little person on it, and said with a smile: "This cartoon looks quite cute, but I like the quotes on it
Zhou Andong also picked up a bottle of liquor and smiled slightly at the quote on it. Fortunately, he had opened a bar in his previous life, and it was in a university town. Although the taste of Jiang Xiaobai really wasn't that great, it was still very popular among students, so he remembered quite a few of these chicken soup quotes for Jiang Xiaobai.
The two did not stay in the packaging workshop for long and went to other workshops to take a look. When they were walking toward the factory office, Seeing Jian Qiu said with a smile.
"Don't you feel that the employees are quite enthusiastic when they see us today? And their state of mind—they look full of passion."
Zhou Andong also smiled: "I reckon they are all looking forward to getting off work early."
The finance department moved to the first floor; it was the original utility room, which was cleared out yesterday. After a simple cleaning, it was used for the finance department's office.
Now the finance department only has a few people, who were also marginalized by Liu Jian, temporarily shouldering the heavy burden. Since yesterday, they have been busy until they were dizzy, but not a single person complained.
Zhou Andong arrived at the finance department, saw that everyone was busy and couldn't even lift their heads, and said: "Thank you all for your hard work!"
Zhou Andong said: "Busy as you are, you must be careful and not make any mistakes in the accounts."
"Don't worry, Factory Director." A young girl said, "This is all our own money; we definitely won't calculate it wrong."
Zhou Andong laughed out loud: "Bonuses will be doubled this month. The day after tomorrow, the people from the county winery's finance department will be transferred over, and you will be relaxed by then."
Dashang Hotel is the most high-end hotel in Jiangzhou at this time, claiming to be three-star. In fact, it just has complete equipment and facilities, and the rooms are a bit larger and cleaner, but it is still some distance from being three-star.
In the presidential suite, Seeing Tong Huaiyu had just gotten up and taken a shower when the door was knocked.
He walked over and opened the door. A young man of twenty-seven or twenty-eight, wearing a high-end casual outfit, walked in dragging a suitcase.
"I say, Tong Zong, you're staying in this dump?"
Seeing Tong Huaiyu turned and walked to the sofa to sit down, picked up the cigarette on the coffee table, and lit it: "Young Master Guo, why aren't you in Las Vegas, riding foreign mares and eating, drinking, and having fun? Why did you run back here?"
Guo Zidan threw the suitcase in his hand onto the floor to the side, sat on the sofa, then also lit a cigarette, leaned back lazily, crossed his legs, and said.
"I'm tired of foreign mares and came back to find the feeling of a local girl. Also, the three major grain merchants—ADM, Bunge, and Cargill—have already started to exert their strength. You aren't in the capital pushing for it, so why did you run to this godforsaken place?"
