Traveling through 70's wine

Chapter 199 Production and Sales

Renting out the second courtyard of Yulinhu solved one of Wen Qing's problems.

Wen Qing focuses her main energy on the winery and feed factory and seldom goes to Hengsheng Building. However, after each quarterly report comes out, Gu Qicheng and Xie Yang will convene a shareholders' meeting to report on the progress of the project.

Nowadays, houses can only be sold after they are repaired. Their project has not been completed yet, so there are no sales.

Wen Qing sat in the conference room with other shareholders. Xie Yang reported the progress of the project. "We have started digging the foundation for the first phase of our Dongcheng project, and are preparing to build 6 buildings with a total area of ​​15 square meters."

Specifically, each building has 3 units, each unit has 7 floors, and there are 2 households on each floor, so each unit has 14 households. The rooms are two bedrooms and one living room, 80 square meters, and there are 42 rooms in each building, so there are a total of 630 households in the first phase.

The community is also planning to build a central garden, a children's playground, and a fitness trail. It can be said to be the best residential community in Pingjing.

The construction period for the entire project is expected to be 12 months.

After hearing this, Wen Qing said, "Mr. Xie, can I reserve one first?"

Xie Yang was worrying about selling his house, and when he heard her say that she wanted to buy one, he immediately said happily: "Wen Qing, of course you can buy it."

Wen Qing asked: "How is the price determined?"

Xie Yang thought for a moment and said, "It's not certain yet, but if you pay a deposit in advance, you can enjoy a 9% discount on the sales price."

Wen Qing nodded and added, "Boss Xie, I have a request. I want to install an elevator, and I will pay for it myself."

Xie Yang frowned. "We didn't consider the elevator in our design. You can talk to the design department and see if the design can be changed. I'll ask the purchasing department to calculate the cost of the elevator for you."

This building has 7 floors and it is very troublesome to go up and down without an elevator.

After the meeting, Wen Qing went to the design department and the purchasing department and requested that an elevator be installed in each unit. The design department added an elevator shaft behind the stairwell, which basically did not occupy any additional land area. The elevator fees, construction fees, elevator power supply and subsequent maintenance fees were also calculated and borne by Wen Qing.

The other shareholders heard Wen Qing's request and after going back and discussing with their families, Shui Ya and Gu Qicheng each reserved a building with an elevator.

The purchasing department wants to buy 9 elevators. There is no elevator manufacturer in China, so they contacted several foreign elevator manufacturers. Among them, a German elevator manufacturer was eager to open up the Chinese market. The price they quoted was basically the cost price, and they were also responsible for subsequent maintenance. The price for each elevator was 8 yuan, plus the construction cost, so Wen Qing would have to spend an extra 30 yuan.

After looking at their revised design draft and the price of the elevator, Xie Yang decided to reserve one building. Now four of the 15 buildings have been sold, and Gu Qicheng decided to install elevators in the other two buildings and sell them at a higher price.

The six elevator buildings are built on one side and are slightly separated from other buildings by green belts.

Wen Qing and several other shareholders who reserved houses paid 50 yuan each, and will pay the remaining fee when the houses are delivered.

Wang Jianguo has been very busy in the past few months. After collecting everyone's opinions, he formulated three optimization plans. He tried five aspects: distiller's yeast, steamed grain dregs, fermentation, blending, and grain ratio. He also improved the brewing process by controlling different cellar temperatures and ambient temperatures.

That day, he saw Wen Qing coming to the winery and said hurriedly, "Sister Wen, cellars 1 to 40 in workshop 38 are now using the new process to make wine. Today we are steaming cellars 40 to ."

Wen Qing nodded and watched the workers steaming wine with him.

New grain dregs must be added when steaming the lees of strong-flavor liquor. Wen Qing first checked the crushing conditions of the five kinds of grains. The corn had been degermed and crushed into six or seven petals. The glutinous sorghum had a thick skin, so each sorghum grain was crushed into four or five pieces. The rice was soaked in advance to fully absorb water. When steaming, the workers sprinkled hot water while scattering the grains to ensure that it was steamed thoroughly.

Wang Jianguo required that the temperature when mixing in the koji be controlled at around 20 degrees. At the same time, machine mixing was used to ensure that all raw materials were mixed evenly.

This is the second fermentation with added grain in Wine Cellar No. 38. The dregs have been steamed separately, and the lower layers are being steamed now. The workers pinched off the head of the wine and began to collect the body of the wine. Wen Qing collected the wine in a cup for tasting. This time low-temperature fermentation was adopted, and the fermentation time was 3 days longer than before, and the aroma felt stronger.

Wen Qing stayed in the workshop until evening and completed the sanding of the three wine cellars. She left the workshop only after the workers had compacted and sealed the wine cellars.

After the workers got off work, Wen Qing found Wang Jianguo and Wang Guozhang to discuss the recent affairs of the winery, mainly to solve the pilot problems of the new technology.

Wang Jianguo said: "Now everyone is brewing wine according to the new process requirements. We have also formulated key points for inspection at each link and compiled a jingle that everyone can remember."

Wang Guozhang said: "Our koji workshop is now producing peach blossom spring koji. The proportion of peas in the koji has been reduced, so there is no raw bean taste and the taste is better."

Wen Qing discussed the new technology with them and did not let them leave until eight o'clock. She finally went to the wine cellar, put the wine in the space back into the wine cellar, and collected the new wine produced today into the space.

She usually works alternately at the winery and the feed factory, and occasionally goes to the grain company and Hengsheng Building.

After a round of rectification, the situation at the feed factory has improved greatly, and the monthly output has now reached 300 tons. Based on the feedback from villagers, Zheng Xiaoqiang, Wu Zhenggao and Qi Yanling adjusted the pig feed formula, increased the corn content, and also adjusted the mixing time accordingly to increase palatability.

Xu Shengli used his relationship with Secretary Ma to make a breakthrough in the surrounding towns and villages, promising that the feed factory would deliver the feed to customers' doorsteps as long as they purchased more than 200 kilograms at a time. As a result, the sales of pig feed increased again. Now Changxia brand pig feed has a market share of more than 80% in Yunlin Town.

In order to press on with his victory, Xu Shengli moved the sales points to the vicinity of Jinshi and set up a sales point in Daxing and Langfang respectively. Each point sold approximately 100 tons of feed per month.

Wen Qing felt that Xu Shengli had gotten into the role. He no longer sat in the office listening to reports, but went to towns and villages with people from the sales department. Once he learned that a town was going to set up a pig farm, he would immediately go to the door to lobby, telling the pig farmers the cases of raising pigs with feed that they had compiled, and promising to send someone to teach them how to raise pigs and to make sure the feed was sold.

He used to be the chief financial officer of the commune, and the village heads all knew him. When they saw him selling his products in person, they were more willing to buy in. Plus, their feed factory had people who specialized in studying how to raise pigs, so at least the pig-raising technology was professional, and it did touch the hearts of many pig farmers. Having someone to guide them was much better than figuring it out on their own.

In this way, pig farmers with piglets buy piglet feed, and those with sows buy sow pregnancy feed, and the service reputation of Changxia Feed Factory has also improved.

He personally went to the market to collect first-hand feedback from the villagers, and would give feedback to Zheng Xiaoqiang when he returned. Zheng Xiaoqiang would then work overtime to make adjustments. In this way, the feed entered a virtuous circle, new feed formulas were constantly developed, pilot projects were continuously carried out, and sales volume increased.
