During the month when the Ning family was shrinking its business strategy, Su Yun and others were extremely busy in order to occupy the market. Either Zhang Dachuan was not at home, or Su Yun was working overtime at the winery, and there was very little time to get together with each other.
Therefore, after seeing Su Yun's initiative to call, Zhang Dachuan was surprised and a little happy.
He had a breakthrough at this time and was in a good mood, so after answering the phone, he said jokingly:
"It's really strange that Mr. Su, a busy man, finally thought of me."
"What's wrong? Did the winery encounter any problems?"
He vaguely knew that Su Yun was worried about increasing the production capacity of the winery recently, because the original winery of Jing Xiaojing and his wife had a limited area and could no longer be expanded, and the equipment had been updated. It has reached its limit, but it still cannot meet the growing market demand for Sichuan Yun Mingjiu.
Finding another branch factory is an urgent matter.
As expected, Su Yun on the other side of the phone was so busy that she didn't even have time to chat and laugh with Zhang Dachuan, and spoke quickly:
"Yesterday, a winery owner in Ning County, under the jurisdiction of Dongjiang Prefecture, contacted me and said that he wanted to sell his winery in the county. I want to go and take a look today. Can you go with me?"
"We are currently very short of production capacity. If the shipment volume cannot keep up, it will greatly curb our expansion speed. We cannot guarantee how long it will take for the Ning family and his son to come back. Every day that passes, the opportunities are getting smaller. Everything cannot be delayed."
Zhang Dachuan nodded subconsciously, and then asked:
"Is he selling the place or is he packing the production line and workers together? Are there any hidden dangers?"
Su Yun replied:
"He has mature workers and production lines, and he is ready to package it for us. I sent someone to check the debt. There is no debt, but we need to go and see the specific situation of the site to know."
When acquiring a winery with a full production line, the biggest concern is business reputation issues and unknown debts. As long as this kind of due diligence can be done clearly, everything else is a minor problem.
At present, Zhang Dachuan and the others do not have relevant professionals, so they can only do many things by themselves and make their own judgments.
Fortunately, Su Yun was very cautious in this regard and did not go there immediately. Instead, she called Zhang Dachuan together.
Zhang Dachuan had just finished practicing and was full of energy. He immediately agreed:
"No problem, I just finished my cultivation work, and I just happened to go down there with you to have a look."
Su Yun heard this and said happily:
"Really? Have you finally made a breakthrough in your cultivation?"
Zhang Dachuan smiled noncommittally:
"That's right. Anyway, I have found a direction for my efforts, and I can avoid a lot of detours in the future."
Without Zheng Nanshan's guidance, Zhang Dachuan might still be worrying about how to improve his cultivation, and it might take a long time to find the right direction. This is indeed a breakthrough for him.
Su Yun was also very happy after hearing this:
"Then you come to the winery to pick me up. Then we will go directly to Ning County."
She was pressed for time and obviously wanted to finalize the acquisition as soon as possible.
Zhang Dachuan then hung up the phone, cleaned up, and drove out of the Peninsula Villa area to pick up Su Yun at the winery.
When Su Yun was picked up at the winery, she was standing under the winery's guard hall discussing issues with Jing Xiaojing. When Zhang Dachuan passed by, he vaguely heard words such as "enrollment expansion" and "wage increase". When Su Yun came up After getting in the car, he asked:
"Are we going to recruit more workers?"
Su Yun opened the navigation on her mobile phone and put it in the car, and replied:
"Yes, the winery production line is working in two shifts now. I plan to recruit another group of workers to work in three shifts. This way everyone can get enough rest and the production capacity can be raised to a higher level."
"But as a result, the workers' working hours will become eight hours, and without the original overtime pay, I am worried that some people may not be satisfied, so I decided to increase the basic salary."
Zhang Dachuan nodded repeatedly after hearing this:
"It's a good idea, I support you."
Although the state stipulates that normal working hours are eight hours, it also allows overtime. For some workers whose families have financial difficulties, sometimes they are more willing to work 12 hours of high-intensity work, just because this can Earn extra overtime pay - which accounts for almost more than a third of a worker's salary.
If the winery switches from two shifts to three shifts, for the winery, the production capacity will increase, but for the workers, the working hours will be reduced, which will indirectly reduce the income. Many people may be dissatisfied because of this.
In this case, raising the basic salary is a good idea.
Following the navigation, Zhang Dachuan drove the car out of the area where the winery was located and merged onto the main road out of the city.
At this moment, he suddenly frowned and quickly glanced at the road he came from.
When Su Yun saw this, she suddenly asked strangely:
"Dachuan, what's wrong?"
Zhang Dachuan shook his head gently:
"nothing."
Just when he was driving out of the winery road, he suddenly felt a sense of alertness in his heart. The illusion of a light on his back made him feel as if he was being watched.
But there was nothing on that road.
Is it an illusion?
Thinking like this, Zhang Dachuan suddenly turned the steering wheel, changed the route, and drove the car towards the highway toll station.
Although Su Yun was surprised, she didn't ask any more questions. Instead, she followed Zhang Dachuan's example and frequently looked at the vehicles following behind.
But neither of them noticed they were being followed.
As the car successfully entered the highway, Zhang Dachuan stopped his thoughts and focused on driving.
After an hour's drive, the two arrived in Ning County.
Following the guidance of the navigation system, they followed the rural roads of Ning County and arrived in front of a factory on the outskirts of the county.
In the distance, on the tall wall at the main entrance of the factory, the five characters "Ningxian Winery" shine in the sun.
At the door of the winery, a fat middle-aged man wearing a suit was looking down at his watch.
After hearing the sound of the engine, the middle-aged man quickly looked up and saw Zhang Dachuan and Su Yun in the car.
A happy smile immediately appeared on his face, and he walked over quickly before the car stopped.
Coming closer, the middle-aged man's eyes stayed on Zhang Dachuan for a moment, and then fell on Su Yun. He asked naturally: "Excuse me, is this Su Yun, Mr. Su?"
"I am Yang Gui, the director of this winery."
Su Yun smiled and nodded:
"Hello, Director Yang, I am Su Yun."
Yang Gui immediately laughed and stretched out his hand with great enthusiasm:
"Hello, Mr. Su, I've been looking forward to having you here, please come in quickly."
"In the past two months, I have been very impressed by Sichuan Yun Mingjiu. I thought Mr. Su, who made this wine, was mature and prudent, but I didn't expect him to be so young and beautiful. It's really eye-opening."
"Young and promising, young and promising."
