The two cars drove up a road in the mountains.
One car was led by Chen Li and his assistant Zhong Lei, and the other was driven by Qin Lin and took Li Qing.
Chen Shengfei and Ma Liewen also came to join in the fun.
The winery Chen Li mentioned is not in the county, nor is it in an industrial zone.
Wineries are different from other factories and have extremely high requirements for selection.
The first factor is to pay attention to water quality and water source. Water is one of the important raw materials for wine making, so there is a saying that good springs produce fine wine.
Most wineries producing famous and old wines have their own springs or are close to high-quality water sources.
Li Qing looked at the increasingly dense woods and said in surprise: "Boss Qin, this may be a real treasure. In such a deep mountain, the winery may have a source of spring water, otherwise there would be no need to spend so much effort. "
Mountain spring water is the preferred water source for brewing, and the brewed wine tastes much better than water with an acidic pH that has just reached the standard.
But mountain spring water is in the minority after all, and most places are occupied. Even the wine brewed by Moutai is mostly purified through modern technology, but the pH value is processed very well, so there is still a difference.
When the car stopped, I saw crystal clear water flowing into the water storage area next to the winery.
Li Qing got out of the car and immediately went to the reservoir. He put his hand slightly in, picked up a little and put it to his mouth to drink. Then he nodded and said: "It is indeed mountain spring water."
The scale of the winery is not large. After all, it is just an old winery that is not operating well and does not have the capital to expand.
"Boss Qin, this is it. Let's go in and have a look?" Chen Li got out of the car and faced Qin Lin. At the same time, he also looked at Chen Shengfei and the three people behind Qin Lin.
He felt that the county's estimate was wrong. If the relationship between these two rich men and Boss Qin was just an ordinary customer relationship, it would be impossible for him to accompany Boss Qin all over the mountain now.
Generally speaking, only those with a good and familiar relationship will join in the fun like this.
Entering the winery, you will be greeted by the smell of the wine vat, which is an alternative aroma emitted by the fermentation in the wine vat during the brewing process.
As soon as Li Qing entered the winery, he seemed to be in the mood: "Boss Qin, this wine tank tastes good. This alone is no worse than many brand wineries."
The taste of the wine tank is also a factor in initially judging a winery.
A winery that doesn’t have the smell of a tank winery doesn’t need to be thought of as a canning winery, not one that brews its own wine.
Wine tanks are generally sour, pungent, and have some unpleasant odors that can be smelled more than ten meters away. Needless to say, they are all ordinary wine or even low-quality wine.
And the smell of the wine tank is coming to your face, and there is an alternative aroma of fermented rice, so the wine will not be bad.
Qin Lin just nodded and said nothing for fear of leaking the truth.
At this time, it depends on Li Qing’s performance.
There are more than 10 master craftsmen in the winery who are turning the rice wine.
One of the old masters was directing from the side.
Seeing Chen Li bringing people in, these people all looked over and looked worried.
Director Chen was here yesterday.
They all knew the county was selling the winery.
The winery is really not running well, and if it doesn't work out after being sold, the winery may be gone soon.
These old guys have been working in this winery all their lives. They all started as apprentices when they were young. At that time, it was even easier to find a wife if you could get into this winery.
"Gene Era"
This is for life.
Although times have changed now, I have developed feelings after working in this winery for a long time.
Therefore, they naturally do not want the winery to disappear.
It's all those damn managers who act like officials and don't understand anything.
"Bureau Chen!" The supervisory master ran over and subconsciously looked at Qin Lin and his group behind Chen Li. He probably guessed that they were here to see the owner of the winery.
Chen Li also introduced Qin Lin: "Boss Qin, this Master Zhang is also the person in charge of the winery."
After saying that, he introduced Master Zhang: "Master Zhang, this is Boss Qin. Even though he is young, he is the boss of Qinglin Villa."
"That Qinglin Villa?" Master Zhang's worried face turned to surprise.
The other masters also looked at Qin Lin subconsciously.
"Is he the boss of Qinglin Villa?"
"I didn't expect you to be so young!"
"My children were saying last night that a bottle of wine from Qinglin Villa is worth 60,000 yuan."
"It's so expensive, one bottle costs us 600 bottles!"
"..."
As a Youcheng person, no one knows about Qinglin Villa, from the elderly to the children. Moreover, it is already a place that everyone in Youcheng can brag about.
But the 60,000 yuan meal and 60,000 yuan bottle of wine left Youcheng people speechless.
In a small city with an average salary of 4,000, how could He De have such expensive food and wine?
For 12 months a year, the salary I earn without eating or drinking is not enough for one meal.
"Boss Qin, hello, hello." Master Zhang enthusiastically held Qin Lin's hand immediately. There was no worry on his face, but he said eagerly: "Boss Qin, all the wine in our winery is... Yes, these old guys have decades of experience in craftsmanship. As long as the management and operation of this winery can be kept up, you will definitely not lose money."
This is probably the shadow of a famous tree.
Who made Qinglin Shanqian so famous now, with a bottle of wine priced at 60,000 yuan?
In Master Zhang's eyes, the owner of Qinglin Villa must know wine, and he would be relieved to leave the winery in the hands of such a person.
Master Zhang's look made Chen Li unable to react for a moment.
Is this the same look as last night when he begged them to consider it and not want to sell the winery to the county at all?
Now you really want Boss Qin to buy the winery right away, right?
Master Zhang has already stepped up his efforts and said: "Mr. Qin, although the sales situation of our winery is not good, it is definitely not a problem with the wine. It is all problems with management and sales. Those are all the officials in the county. There is a lot of nonsense, I don’t understand anything I ask, I don’t even understand the basics of koji fermentation, and I am just messing around in sales.”
"The management of this winery by them is a mess. It's going to be very messy. You and the county must not let them fool you when you buy the winery. Except for our technology, everything else in this winery is worthless. No. Don’t pay them a penny more.”
"..." Chen Li suddenly felt tired.
Fortunately, the county did not want to negotiate the price with Boss Qin. It had already set the lowest price and it was tax-free, giving Boss Qin half a buy and half a gift.
Otherwise, if the price is negotiated according to normal acquisitions, isn't Master Zhang a mole?
Before they even bought the winery, you put yourself in the position of their employees?
Isn't this position too crooked?
Li Qingdu smiled.
He may understand Master Zhang's mood. Chaos in the management of many state-owned enterprises is inevitable, and mismatch between abilities and positions is also common.
Moreover, the smaller the place, the more obvious this situation is. After all, people are sophisticated and people occupy positions. It is normal for one person to work and two people to hang out. People who can be assigned to the winery will know what they are like if they think about it.
From the moment we entered the winery, the smell of fermented wine tanks at least meant that the aroma of the wine should be okay. This kind of wine would not be unsustainable in the hands of ordinary people with a little care.
But let’s not talk about it if it is a state-owned enterprise...
Master Zhang must have been frustrated from time to time. Now that he met Boss Qin, a man who both knew wine and could brew Qinglin medicinal wine, and wanted to buy the winery, he would definitely become a close friend and surrender immediately.
Qin Lin was embarrassed by this picture of Master Zhang. He hadn't decided to buy a winery yet, so he could only say: "Master Zhang, let's go see the wine cellar that has been there for decades!"
"Okay, Boss Qin, come with me." Master Zhang enthusiastically welcomed Qin Lin and the others into the wine cellar.
There are many empty spaces in the wine cellar. After all, the business is not good and there is not a lot of wine stored.
Master Zhang also began to introduce: "Boss Qin, the most valuable thing about our winery is this decades-old wine cellar."
After Li Qing entered the wine cellar, he squatted down, knocked on the ground, then grabbed some soil from around and rubbed it carefully, then put it to his nose to smell...
Qin Lin had no idea what Li Qing meant by doing this, but Li Qing was surprisingly serious at this time, as if he respected his profession.
Therefore, he also pretended to follow Li Qing, watching what Li Qing did, and occasionally imitating him. After all, he couldn't let anything slip.
Otherwise, if Li Qing knew that he was being evaluated by a novice in the industry, his mentality would probably collapse.
Master Zhang's smile grew stronger as he watched the two men's actions. Boss Qin not only knew wine himself, but also the people he brought with him.
Moreover, these two people's actions obviously also have research on the wine cellar. If the other party picks up the time,
It took some time for Li Qing to speak: "The four walls are made of stones, and the bottom of the cellar is paved with yellow mud. Depending on the compounding condition, even if the wine cellar is 50-60 years old, the microorganisms contained in the mud can make the brewing process more efficient." The liquor has a special aroma.”
When Master Zhang heard this, he immediately admired him and said: "Sir, you are awesome. It has indeed been around for many years. This kiln was started in the county when my master's master was young. The yellow clay at that time was obtained from another old kiln." Huang Ni, the wine brewed in this cellar is indeed more fragrant than outside, but we don’t know what the microorganisms are.”
"It's such a waste of money that this wine cellar is going to close down." Li Qing said, and glanced at Chen Li, needless to say who he was scolding.
Master Zhang also looked at Chen Li when he heard this, and immediately agreed with Li Qing: "Who says it's not the case? It's such a waste of resources. These people don't understand anything and they just mess around."
"..." Chen Li was so direct. What were you looking at him for? He wasn't the one messing around, and he didn't care whether it was good or not.
At this time, Li Qing suddenly walked to a place and knocked, with a look of surprise on his face, and subconsciously glanced at Master Zhang.
Master Zhang was obviously a little nervous at this glance.
Because there was some good stuff hidden there, and he didn't want to be discovered.
If the officials in the winery found out, and the winery had not been sold, they might have ruined the contents. He quickly changed his attention and said, "Boss Qin, come and try our bar. Because the efficiency is not good, we don’t produce any old wine, most of it is new wine, and the longest batch is only two years old.”
Li Qing saw that Master Zhang had gone to the side to move the wine, but he didn't say much.
Not long after, Master Zhang brought over three small bottles and more than a dozen small cups. He poured the wine into them and said at the same time: "Boss Qin, please try it. This wine is from our winery." New wine, half-year-old wine and the longest 2-year-old wine.”
Li Qing stepped forward after hearing this, picked up three bottles of wine and smelled it at the tip of his nose: "Well, the aroma of the wine is as expected. It's very good. It's definitely far away from the level of Feitian Moutai, and it's comparable to ordinary Moutai." It’s definitely better, and most branded wines can only have this kind of aroma from Laojiao.”
After hearing what Li Qing said, Chen Shengfei and Ma Levin also stepped forward curiously, picked up the wine glass, put it to their noses and smelled it, and then both of them showed surprise.
"This is true!"
"The aroma of the wine is indeed very strong."
The two of them are not professional sommeliers, but they have drunk a lot of famous wines, and they can still distinguish the basic aroma of the wines.
Qin Lin curiously picked up the wine and put it to the tip of his nose. He had to say that this was indeed a bit different from the medicinal wine he bought before.
The slightest hint of wine aroma smells really good.
To be honest, this was the first time he smelled this kind of smell. No wonder the ancients often said that the aroma of wine is charming.
This pure aroma is indeed different from ordinary wine.
At this time, Li Qing picked up the wine of those two years and started tasting it. He closed his eyes and tasted it. After a while, he said: "Rice, potato starch, glutinous rice, wheat..."
When Master Zhang heard the name of each ingredient that Li Qing said, his face became more and more incredulous, even admiring, because these were the ingredients they used according to the proportions, and they were told in the order in which they made the music.
The person brought by Boss Qin is too powerful.
"What a pity!" Li Qing suddenly said again: "Such a good wine cellar, the brewing technology is not bad, but what kind of inferior materials are used? The taste is still so bad after 2 years, with such good conditions, the winery It’s really no one’s fault if you can’t get on with it.”
The taste of wine is not only related to the year of cellaring, but also to the materials. Moreover, the better the materials, the better the taste. Even if it is the same year, the taste of different materials will be somewhat similar and different.
But it’s easy to tell if the wine tastes bad.
Master Zhang was a little anxious when he heard this: "Sir, this is really not the fault of the winery. We are only responsible for brewing, but those guys always talk about saving money and buy us materials that we don’t even know what they are. It can only barely meet our requirements. As long as we are given high-quality materials, we can make better wine with this old wine cellar.”
Li Qing looked at Chen Li with a frown after saying this: "You guys are such a waste of natural resources."
Chen Lite was helpless and could only say awkwardly: "Mr. Li, don't you want Boss Qin to take over? It's really a waste of resources in our hands."
Li Qing snorted and said to Qin Lin: "Boss Qin, this old wine cellar is indeed good. My verification result is that you can buy it. Just don't let others do it blindly. With this old wine cellar, winemaking can still be done." If you can stick to the material, that’s really unbelievable.”
This was the first time Qin Lin saw Li Qing taunting people endlessly. It seemed that he really loved wine and didn't want others to ruin good things. Therefore, he also smiled and said to Chen Li: "Chen Li, I own this winery." I can take over, but I don’t want any further trouble, after all, Master Zhang said there are a few people who are not just toys!”
Master Zhang's face was filled with joy when he heard Qin Lin's words: "We should have gotten rid of those guys who are not toys a long time ago."
"Don't worry, Boss Qin, the county will take care of it." Chen Li also breathed a sigh of relief. His task was completed, but it was not enough. Those things needed to be taken care of first.
After all, it is a company in the county, and the management is still a deputy-level position. Don't do any tricks. According to people like Boss Qin, the conditions of this winery should be very good, and it will not be to the extent of maintaining such functions. Among them, it is said There may be something fishy.
The winery was inspected, Qin Lin agreed to take over, and Chen Li called the county to report the news.
When Qin Lin led people out of the winery, Master Zhang enthusiastically sent them out: "Boss, let's leave a phone number. If you want to inquire about the situation of the winery later, just call me directly."
Well, this simply omits the word 'Qin'.
Chen Li on the side felt that before the winery was sold, he would become an outsider.
Qin Lin smiled and gave Master Zhang his business card before leading the person up.
After the car restarted and went down the mountain, Li Qing couldn't wait to ask: "Boss Qin, how is this verification? I should be able to get the lottery prize, right?"
Seeing that Li Qing was so anxious, Qin Lin pretended to say: "You have passed the test, but there are still some shortcomings. At least it is a little worse than what I checked. However, Mr. Li has passed the test, and I will give you the bonus."
Naturally, he had no idea what the shortcomings were. If Li Qing wanted to ask more seriously, he would just say that he was wrong and compliment Li Qing again.
What a simple thing, and the goal was achieved anyway.
Li Qing was shocked when he heard this: "Boss Qin, did you taste that starch? I wasn't sure just now, so I didn't say anything."
"I think the wine from the winery also contains some cornstarch, but the amount is too small and mixed with potato starch. I'm not sure at all. I didn't expect that Boss Qin has already tasted it. Now I feel really ashamed. ”
"⊙...⊙" Qin Lin's face was filled with astonishment.
Is this okay?
