Chapter 18: Gu Bing, who doubts himself

Gu Bing's face didn't look too good. He had already heard the discussion just now and swept a cold glance over the crowd.

The few guys who had been speaking loudly shrank their necks, hiding behind the crowd, not daring to lift their heads. Regardless of whether Gu Bing had any say in the factory, he was, after all, a leader, and the employees were still a bit afraid in their hearts.

Zhou Andong smiled and glanced at the crowd. There were a few familiar faces, but he didn't know their names. After all, for him, more than twenty years had passed; even those who were once familiar had now become strangers, and he couldn't remember them.

Besides, Yao Jun was in the second workshop, and he often ran over there to bum cigarettes, so his interpersonal relationships were all in the second workshop. As for the Quality Wang Jianke, it was better not to mention it.

There is a saying: when turbidity becomes the norm, innocence is a crime.

In Zhou Andong's eyes, none of those guys in the Quality Wang Jianke were any good. But in the eyes of others in the Quality Wang Jianke, he, Zhou Andong, was the troublemaker.

"Take a look at how it is!" Gu Bing snorted, opened a liquor box, and took out a bottle of liquor. "Just like you said, absolutely high-end, atmospheric, and classy."

Zhou Andong took it over. The quality was indeed quite good, and it wasn't much different from the Red Dragon VIP. The antique font of the Jiangzhou Imperial Tribute Liquor also looked very artistic.

Opening the box, it was lined with yellow silk, and the liquor bottle was contained in a red silk bag. Pulling open the drawstring at the top and taking out the bottle, although it was still the original Big Gaoliang, after sticking on the red front and back labels, it really was different. It was just a pity about the bottle cap, which lowered the overall aesthetic, but fortunately, it was aluminum. If it had been the plastic cap from before, that would have been a real problem.

Zhou Andong looked at the very eye-catching "Special Brew" printed on the bottle and asked: "Is the Special Brew one hundred boxes?"

Gu Bing said: "Yes, everything is according to the plan."

Zhou Andong said: "Notify the packaging factory that they can produce at full capacity."

Gu Bing nodded: "I've already notified them."

Zhou Andong took two boxes of liquor and walked out. Gu Bing had people move the liquor into the warehouse and then quickly caught up. "I don't quite understand why it's all ***, but only these one hundred boxes are Special Brew?"

Zhou Andong said: "Are you really not understanding, or pretending not to? The awareness of some old comrades is not something a dog second-generation like you can compare to. Sending *** over, they'd probably throw it back at you."

"Overlooked it." Gu Bing shook his head, having to admire in his heart that Zhou Andong's mind was indeed meticulous. As for Zhou Andong calling him a dog second-generation, he automatically ignored it. He thought that after the liquor was sold, he would settle the score with him.

Zhou Andong asked: "Have the reporters been arranged?"

"Arranged!" Gu Bing said: "The chief reporter of the People's Daily. Every year when they go down, he is responsible for follow-up reporting."

Zhou Andong asked: "Guaranteed to be published?"

Gu Bing said: "Rest assured, I still have some face. This trivial matter can be solved with one phone call."

Zhou Andong said: "If it doesn't get published, our plan will be greatly discounted."

The two chatted as they got into Gu Bing's 212 Jeep: "Where to?"

Zhou Andong said: "Find a high-end restaurant, book a table of food, take the photos first, then take them to the printing factory for layout. We can print the calendars tomorrow. By the way, once our plan succeeds, many people will definitely call to ask for liquor. You need to find two trustworthy people to guard the warehouse. No matter who it is, even if the old factory director and Zhang Deyou go personally, they cannot let the liquor leave the warehouse."

"Why?" Gu Bing asked suspiciously: "As long as the liquor is sold, it's our credit. They can't snatch it away even if they want to."

Zhou Andong glanced at Gu Bing: "You are really a tiger. Your IQ makes me worry. Being able to live this long is simply a miracle."

"Isn't what I said correct?"

Gu Bing took a deep breath, telling himself repeatedly in his heart: endure, endure. After the liquor is sold, I must let him know how many eyes the Horse King has, otherwise, won't he be riding on my neck and shitting in the future?

Zhou Andong lit a cigarette, leaned against the back of the chair, and said lightly: "Talk about you, and you're still not convinced. True, we are leading the reform, and no one can snatch this credit. However, those who can ask for liquor through Gao Qingkui and Zhang Deyou definitely have extraordinary identities. Why should we labor and toil to make wedding clothes for them and expand our own connections?"

"Bang!" Gu Bing slapped his head in annoyance. "Motherfucker, why didn't I think of that."

Zhou Andong rolled his eyes and took another puff of his cigarette: "If you could think of it, what would you need *** for?"

Gu Bing's heart twitched. Under Zhou Andong's repeated blows, he now began to doubt whether his IQ really had a problem.

"Also!" Zhou Andong said: "Do you know what marketing is?"

Gu Bing opened his mouth, just about to say something, when he was interrupted by Zhou Andong: "One look and I know you don't. Go back and buy a few books to read carefully."

"I..." Gu Bing really wanted to speak, but was interrupted again.

"I what I." Zhou Andong said: "Let me tell you, even if someone calls you, do not agree without my consent. This liquor cannot be sold easily. At least before the New Year, it must be sold in limited quantities."

"Screech!" Gu Bing suddenly slammed on the brakes. Zhou Andong, caught off guard, had his upper body lunge forward violently, then lean backward, his head hitting the back of the chair. Because the chair was relatively hard, his head hurt a bit.

"Fuck, what are you doing?" Zhou Andong rubbed his head and said dissatisfiedly: "Do you know that the person sitting next to you is a future marketing master? In the future, I don't know how many miracles in commercial history will be born in my hands. You almost strangled this genius. If something happened to me, it would definitely be a loss that China and even the whole world could not bear, and you would become a sinner judged by the people of the world."

Gu Bing smacked his lips. After a long while, he said with a dark face: "I was wrong, future marketing master. Actually, I just wanted to ask, Gao Qingkui and Zhang Deyou are fine, why can't I sell it either?"

"Hunger marketing!" Zhou Andong waved his hand lazily. "You wouldn't understand even if I told you. Listen to me, and you won't go wrong. Let's go."

"Hunger marketing?" Gu Bing was confused. This marketing method, which was played to death by later generations, was still an unfamiliar term at this time. And the one who played hunger marketing to its peak and carried it forward was Xiaomi.

The workers in the packaging workshop sent the liquor to the warehouse. Because the weather was relatively good and there was nothing to do, they stood outside in groups of three or five to bask in the sun. When there are many people, they can chat about anything, especially since more than half of the workers in the packaging workshop were women. When these old ladies gather together, talking about this and that, good things and bad things, things out of nothing would come out.

"It's that Zhou Andong, instigating Secretary Gu to carry out reform."

"Hmph, he's desperate. If the liquor doesn't sell, he'll have to learn to bark like a dog in the second workshop and crawl to the factory gate. At that time, how will he, a college student, have the face to stay in the factory."

"Pah, still a college student. Just not doing human things. With the money for reform, it would be better to give us some wages to spend the New Year."

"I heard from the Finance Section that the funds for this reform are one hundred thousand, and it might not be enough."

"Sigh, if it goes on like this, I don't know how long our factory can hold on."

"Hey, have you heard? Zhou Andong and Wang Ruomei from Logistics have an affair and were caught in bed by Zhou Andong's wife."

"You can't talk nonsense about ruining someone's innocence. Wang Ruomei's husband is in the municipal government and is a deputy section chief. If this spreads, isn't it destroying the relationship between the couple?"

"I'm not talking nonsense. Zhou Andong's wife is making a scene to divorce him, just because of Wang Ruomei. And I heard this from the Quality Wang Jianke..." ===== CHAPTER 19 =====
