Chapter 269 Winery Crisis
After Chu Yunfeng left the welfare home, he stood on the roadside waiting for the bus.

My impression is that there was a winery about 10 kilometers away from the orphanage, and I could smell the aroma of wine making from time to time.

Later, when I grew up, I heard that the business of the winery was getting worse and worse, and I didn’t know if it was still in production now.

The task given by the system is to find puree wine that is 20 years old and above. This task is not that easy to complete.

First of all, the age requirements are very high, 20 years and above?

Wines of more than 20 years old mean that this winery must have been in existence for at least 20 years. After searching online, I found that there are less than 3 wineries that meet this condition.

And still want puree wine?

This puree wine is even rarer. You must know that most of the finished wine sold by the winery is blended with puree wine.

Although the puree wine is very mellow, the taste is too poor and the alcohol content is too high, so it needs to be blended to meet the public's taste.

Depending on the blending method and the blending essence and other raw materials, the taste and texture of the prepared wine will be different.

Therefore, the formulas of some high-end liquors are particularly precious, because the wines produced by these formulas are not only fragrant and mellow, but also taste very good, so they are deeply loved by the public.

The salary of bartenders who develop these recipes will be very high. In order to retain these talents, some wineries will not hesitate to give away shares in the winery to tie up the bartenders.

This allows them to continue researching recipes with peace of mind, and the winery can continue to introduce new products and release new varieties from time to time to attract everyone's attention.

At the same time, it can also meet the needs of different groups of people, allowing wineries to obtain greater profits.

So from here we can see the significance of a bartender and a senior bartender to a winery.

So what are the characteristics and differences of the wine made from the two wine-making recipes in Chu Yunfeng's hands?
Chu Yunfeng also wanted to know, but he had to find a winery first. He also had to see if there was 20-year-old puree wine, which was not so easy to find.

This place is already close to the suburbs. It is impossible to take a taxi. You can only take a passing "motorcycle taxi".

There are many such "taxi" in the suburbs. Since the roads in the suburbs are relatively narrow, they are very suitable for these small motorcycles to travel around, and they are also fuel-efficient.

"Young man, where are you going? Can you walk?" After waiting for less than 2 minutes, a passing motorcycle stopped in front of Chu Yunfeng.

A tanned elder brother raised his voice and asked in dialect.

"Do you know where the Jiade Winery is?" Chu Yunfeng naturally responded in dialect. He had to ask clearly first. It would be interesting if he told you that he couldn't find the place halfway through.

This kind of thing does not happen once or twice. Either the price will be increased for you midway, or you will be thrown off the car midway. In short, anything can happen.

"Why don't you know? It's 10 kilometers away from here. Can we walk or not? It costs 20 yuan." The elder brother seemed to be really familiar with it. He even knew the distance.

"Where can I get 20 yuan? Can I walk away with 15 yuan? If not, forget it, there are too many people to cut it!" Chu Yunfeng will not let go of the opportunity to bargain. Although 5 yuan is not much, it can save a little. What's wrong?
"Oh, let's go, let's go. It's such a big deal. I'm also going to a winery to find someone, so I'll take you there along the way."

The eldest brother readily agreed to the price, picked up Chu Yunfeng and ran away, while also providing a very important piece of news.

Along the way, the motorcycle was going very fast, and there was a whistling sound in his ears, so Chu Yunfeng had no choice but to approach his elder brother and ask loudly in his ear.

When the motorcycle approached the winery, Chu Yunfeng almost became hoarse from shouting, and then he understood the situation the winery was facing.

The situation is not good! ! !

After arriving at the winery, Chu Yunfeng paid the big brother the money, parked the motorcycle aside with the money, and immediately ran in, ignoring Chu Yunfeng.

From the information his eldest brother told him, he learned that the winery was on the verge of bankruptcy and the boss was said to owe a lot of money.

Of course, this is not caused by the boss gambling outside or anything else, but because the winery’s wine sales are too poor, resulting in the product being unable to be sold.

The wages of employees and the purchase of raw materials require a large amount of funds.

In order to maintain the operation of the winery, the boss first gritted his teeth and sold some of his properties to maintain the normal operation of the winery.

However, the situation is getting worse day by day, and all the money invested cannot be seen in return. On the contrary, the burden on the winery has become bigger and bigger, leading to a vicious circle. Now it is said that the employees are owed three months' wages.

It seems that the boss's belongings are about to be sold out, and now he really can't hold on any longer, and has already announced that he wants to sell off the winery.

It seems that he is really discouraged and does not want to continue working.

Selling the winery?

I just don’t know if the puree wine produced before is still there?
From the information Chu Yunfeng obtained, he could infer that this winery should have a lot of inventory.

Due to poor sales, a lot of the previously produced wine should be stored in the winery, but I don’t know if it is still available for purchase now.

The boss wants to sell the winery. Logically speaking, the buyer should ask for a part of the original liquor, so I don’t know if he will have a chance.

With a hint of anxiety, Chu Yunfeng came to the office building of the winery.

The office building is located directly opposite the gate, a 5-story old house.

Judging from some of its decoration and design, it seems that it has not been maintained and maintained for a long time.

But if you look at it according to the standards of 20 years ago, this building can be regarded as very grand.

When Chu Yunfeng came to the stairs, a group of people came down from above.

"Come on, let's go back first and trust Wang Haijiang again. If we don't pay everyone's wages next week, we will make him look good."

"That's it, that's right, the wages have been owed for three months, and my wife and children at home are still waiting for food?"

"We have worked hard here for so many years, does he have the nerve to lie to us like this?"

"Didn't the people from the office say they want to buy the winery? As long as Wang Haijiang agrees, then our wages will be solved."

"The conditions offered by the people who come to acquire are quite harsh. Can Wang Haijiang agree?"

"I disagree! What qualifications does he have to make demands on others now? The winery is about to close down, and now he can't even afford the raw materials for production. How can he be so stubborn?"

"Not only can't afford the raw materials, but the dealers are saying that they will return the wine. This wine is not easy to sell, and the dealers are losing money."

"That makes sense, then we will wait another week. If the wages are not paid, we will block him at his house!"

"it is good!"

"That's it!"

"That `s a deal!"

Everyone walked and discussed, and gradually disappeared.

Chu Yunfeng was thoughtful, looked up, and walked up the stairs.
