Chapter 229

"Good!" Du Chunlai said: "I'll go do it after the meeting."

Zhou Andong said: "Also, the city leader just told me to let us take over Huwang Town Winery. Moreover, production has suddenly stopped, and the workers are a bit emotional. We must send people over this afternoon. First, to check the assets, and second, to stabilize the workers' emotions. I plan to let Yan Guohai serve as the factory director of Huwang Town Winery. Does anyone have any opinions?"

"No!"

"No opinion!"

One by one, they said they had no opinion, but inwardly they were muttering. You've already decided, who would dare to have an opinion.

Zhou Andong nodded, knocked on the table, and said: "Section Chief Ge!"

Ge Zhengrong's spirit was lifted. Gu Qing was promoted, and his position was finally confirmed. These past few days, he has been full of energy.

"Here!"

Zhou Andong asked: "How is the matter I entrusted to you going?"

Ge Zhengrong said: "Everything was cleaned up yesterday. Twenty tons of liquor will be put into storage today, and it will open tomorrow. I have already arranged for people to help my aunt and old aunt for a few days, and then withdraw them after they are familiar with it."

Zhou Andong said: "That's fine, make up the franchise fee after making a profit. In addition, after the meeting, you personally take people to Huwang Town Winery to check the assets."

"Okay!" Ge Zhengrong agreed.

Zhou Andong scanned the people below: "Next, this is the main topic of this meeting: beverages. Although the domestic beverage market is blooming at this time, such as Tianfu Cola, Jianlibao, Beibingyang, including our province's Bawangsi Soda, all are famous..."

"But the beverage market is very broad, and the potential for future growth is great. I am very optimistic about its prospects, so I decided to go in and stir things up to see if I can grab a piece of meat. Let everyone discuss it, and say whatever opinions you have."

Man Hongshan said: "This matter, the factory director told me in the technical section before. We want to launch fruit-flavored white liquor, which requires a large amount of concentrated fruit juice."

"Now we can only cooperate with Bawangsi. Not to mention the cost, once any problem occurs and Bawangsi cancels the cooperation, we won't even have a place to reason."

"So we must recruit technical personnel ourselves, buy pressing equipment, build fruit cellars, and achieve self-sufficiency. In this way, we might as well establish a beverage factory, which can coexist and grow with the winery, complementing and promoting each other."

After he said this, everyone understood. They were already going to recruit technical personnel, buy pressing equipment, and build fruit cellars; they were only missing bottling equipment. The winery was already ready-made, just change a production line, and wouldn't the beverage factory be there?

Zhou Andong said: "We also have an advantage that no domestic beverage enterprise has at this time, and that is a perfect sales network."

"Except for Jianlibao, even the soda from the eight major factories is sold in their own one-third of an acre, unable to distribute goods nationwide."

"And if we establish a beverage factory, we can use the sales channels of white liquor to quickly distribute goods nationwide."

Zhang Zhanhai first expressed his position: "I agree!"

Du Chunlai also expressed his position: "I have no opinion either."

Gu Bing slanted his eyes at Zhou Andong: "I agree."

The leaders have all expressed their positions, so the people below naturally won't have any opinions. One after another, they raised their hands, and the establishment of the beverage factory was passed unanimously.

After the meeting, Zhou Andong kept Gu Bing, Du Chunlai, and Zhang Zhanhai behind, took out cigarettes, and distributed one to each.

"The military order I made with the city leaders, two hundred million in sales, it seems it won't take three years, it can be realized in one year. Now we have a real estate company and a beverage factory about to be built, plus more than a dozen branch factories, and in the future, there may be an electronics factory."

*Click*, Zhou Andong pressed the lighter and lit the cigarette in his mouth. "So forming a group company must be put on the agenda. I'm just communicating with everyone so you can be mentally prepared. In these two days, I will organize the implementation plan and hand it over to the city. If there are no accidents, the group will be officially formed at the end of this year or the beginning of next year."

At the same time, in Liu Qingjun's office: "If we want to survive, if we want to let the workers fill their stomachs, we can only agree to Zhou Andong's conditions and sell the factory to him."

There were three people in the office, all holding cigarettes, and the floor was covered with a layer of cigarette butts, as if it had caught fire, and the whole office was filled with smoke.

"Old Liu!" Factory Secretary Xu Jiangshan said, "Selling to him is fine, but can you guarantee that he can really save the factory and let our factory workers fill their stomachs?"

Liu Qingjun said: "Who can guarantee this? But, selling to him still gives a glimmer of hope. If we don't sell, we can only go bankrupt and liquidate."

"I think!" Vice Factory Director Zhou Mingli said: "Zhou Andong is such a shrewd person, since he is willing to spend money to buy, it proves that he still has ideas. After all, no one's money was blown by the wind."

Xu Jiangshan pondered: "What you said makes sense, but the nature of our factory is not something that can be sold just like that. Persuading the city is definitely no problem, but the military side might be very difficult."

Liu Qingjun said in a deep voice: "No matter how difficult it is, we must persuade them, because our workers need to eat. They have to agree whether they want to or not, otherwise, give us orders."

Zhou Mingli said: "I think we can let the city come forward to talk to the military. This is much stronger than us going."

Xu Jiangshan nodded: "Let's go to the city together."

"Let's go now!" Liu Qingjun couldn't wait a moment longer, stood up, and walked out.

Xu Jiangshan and Zhou Mingli looked at each other, smiled bitterly, and followed quickly.

Zhou Andong, who returned to the office, immediately dialed the phone in Qian Zhen's office: "Uncle Qian, I am Zhou Andong. Do you know about Gao Qingkui being arrested?"

Qian Zhen's voice came from the receiver: "I just found out."

Zhou Andong said: "Cheng Zhanjun asked us to take over Huwang Town Winery. We just had a meeting and appointed Yan Guohai as the factory director. Notify him in a moment, let him select people, go to Huwang Town immediately, and first stabilize the workers, and stop selling Jiangzhou *** liquor."

Qian Zhen said: "What about the candidate for vice factory director?"

Zhou Andong said: "You decide for yourself."

Qian Zhen was very moved. A vice factory director, he actually let him choose himself. This is not only respect for him but also the greatest trust in him.

"Okay, I will notify Yan Guohai now."

Yan Guohai came out of Qian Zhen's office as if his soul had been lost. He didn't even know how he got home. His wife, Gui Fengxia, was terrified, grabbed his arm, and shook it vigorously.

"Old Yan, what's wrong with you? Don't scare me, wake up quickly."

Yan Guohai finally came to his senses. Seeing his wife, he suddenly laughed loudly again.

One moment he was like a lost soul, the next he was laughing like a madman. Gui Fengxia was so scared that her face turned pale. She raised her hand and *slap*, slapped Yan Guohai on the face.

"What is wrong with you, huh? Did you encounter something dirty?"
