The passionate years starting from the college entrance examination

April is the most beautiful month of the year. April in the Northwest is not the most beautiful time of the year, but the revival of all things creates a unique and stunning scenery.

The green of Chang'e Town has already covered the branches, blooming with their unique fragrance in this desert.

Bees, butterflies and other insects that came from nowhere also appeared in every corner of Chang'e Town.

From the current point of view, this place is no longer desolate, but full of spring and vitality.

Chen Guohua, Qian Xuesen, Pan Houren and others strolled in the streets of Chang'e Town, followed by Xue Jinquan, Zhang Jichuan, Zhao Jusheng, Yao Shiqiong, Gu Xiaofeng and other researchers or project leaders of Zhenhua Institute.

This time they came to Chang'e Town to carry out the final investigation and testing work.

No matter what, Chang'e Town is located in the northwest after all, and many conditions are completely different from those in the mainland.

Once Chang'e Town is officially launched, many scientific research projects will be gradually introduced here.

From the initial design, Chen Guohua just wanted to make this place a new home for Chang'e Intelligence.

But what about now?
It has been targeted by many scientific research project leaders.

why?
The main reason is that this place is too hidden and is located inland. In addition, the Northwest Launch Center is more than a thousand kilometers away, so it can be said to be very close.

Therefore, conducting scientific research activities in such a place is definitely the best place.

The entire Chang'e Town is very well built, a true desert oasis city.

As of this year, that is, April 1985, the area within a radius of 25 kilometers around Chang'e Town is planted with flowers, plants and trees. It can be said to be a very beautiful oasis.

The Long March Avenue leads straight to the Cherchen River. At this time, a large number of maple trees have been transplanted on both sides. Some of these maple trees are centuries old, and some are decades old.

All in all, the beautiful and prosperous scene at the foot of the Altun Mountains is definitely an unexpected sight.

Before this, Chen Guohua was still thinking about how to attract more people to come here.

Unexpectedly, after seeing this scene, many scientific researchers were unable to move their legs and no one wanted to leave.

It’s really interesting!

"Going forward is our Yangtze River Avenue. Every October, this road becomes very beautiful because the ginkgo trees have begun to turn yellow, and it is their best viewing period."

Ming Shanjia, who was walking in the front, introduced everything about Chang'e Town to everyone, acting as a temporary tour guide.

As the person in charge of Chang'e Town, Ming Shanjia has done a very good job over the past few years and has won the trust of Chen Guohua.

The most important problem facing Chang'e Town is the lack of water and green plants, and Ming Shanjia is responsible for this aspect of the work.

Although Chen Guohua paid a lot of money, most of the green plant experts were invited by Ming Shanjia from all over the country.

Even many members of the tree planting teams around the capital were poached.

In other words, there are many talented people in the capital, and they are not short of these little things. Otherwise, Ming Shanjia would definitely be scolded for this action.

Well, the fact that Chang'e Town can achieve this level today is due to the fact that, in addition to Chen Guohua bringing 3,000 cubic meters of water every time he comes, the team led by Ming Shanjia has made an indelible contribution.

The outside world was not aware of the water Chen Guohua brought every time, only Chen Guohua himself knew about it.

Therefore, most of the credit goes to Ming Shanjia and other builders of this beautiful town.

Zhang Jichuan and the others listened with shining eyes, especially the female comrades like Yao Shiqiong and Gu Xiaofeng, who had no resistance to Ginkgo.

Ming Shanjia was also very considerate and prepared a lot of photos so that Yao Shiqiong and others could see them more clearly and convincingly.

Loved it!

You must come to such a beautiful Ginkgo Avenue.

Just like the maple tree avenue just now, October every year is probably the most beautiful time for the scenery in Chang'e Town, right?

Chen Guohua looked at the excited faces of the crowd with a smile. If they had really stayed here for a while, they would probably not think so.

The arid climate in the Northwest is really exaggerated.

Even in summer, it is still very dry.

If you are in the Northwest, then humidifier is definitely one of the most profitable entrepreneurial projects, right?

On the contrary, in Baiyun City in the south, dehumidifier is the best product.

Baiyun City and Chang'e Town are definitely two extremes of air humidity.

After inspecting the surrounding environment of Chang'e Town, Chen Guohua and his team inspected other areas before starting various tests.

In addition, Chang'e Town has begun to expand again.

Some areas that had been reserved long ago for unplanted trees, which were merely earth grids, were soon put to use.

These areas will be built into new low-rise buildings, generally no more than twenty stories high.

In fact, most of them are two or three stories high.

The main reason is that there is too much land here and there is no need to build high-rise buildings.

On the contrary, a building with one or two floors underground and one or two floors above ground is the most suitable.

After all, the second and third floors of the basement are as comfortable as the ground level in the arid Northwest.

People on the Loess Plateau live in cave dwellings because of the drought there.

If you are in a southern area like Baiyun City, there is no such thing as a basement.

Even if there is a basement, it is definitely a symbol of mold.

The Tianhe supercomputer will enter Chang'e Town first, followed by other scientific research projects.

This summer will be the climax of major scientific research projects entering Chang'e Town. The major buildings that have been built have already been booked.

The remaining buildings will be completed this year or next year, and then there will be a new wave of people moving in.

"Comrade Lao Ming, more scientific research teams will move into Chang'e Town in the future. Their safety is in your hands."

In an office building in Chang'e Town, Chen Guohua whispered to Ming Shanjia.

"Chang'e Town is located inland, but that doesn't mean there are no safety risks. I have equipped you with a lot of advanced high-tech equipment. You should make good use of it and don't put it aside."

Drones, the Internet, quantum transmission, etc. It can be said that all the high-tech currently developed by Zhenhua Research Institute will be available in Chang'e Town at the first time.

Although Chang'e Town was built not long ago, it is the new scientific research center of Northwest China in the future.
In the future, with Chang'e Town as the center, the tree planting team will expand to the surrounding areas and create more oases. This place will become a new tourist city or even an economic center.

Cities that have successfully developed using tourism as an engine of economic development are very common in later generations, but they are still rare in this day and age.

However, Chang'e Town is a scientific research center after all, and it will definitely not be open to the public in the short term.

When a new tourist town is built next door in the future and separates Chang'e Town, there won’t be much of a problem.

Chen Guohua and his team stayed in Chang'e Town for nearly a week before they completed all the work in Chang'e Town.

Tianhe supercomputer, Micius quantum computer, drones, quantum transmitters, etc., all these technological products are currently the most cutting-edge technologies in the world, so no matter how serious Chen Guohua and his team are, it is not too much.

Not long after returning to Beijing, Wang Dingzuo received a message: Scott Company wanted to acquire Texas Instruments.

"Can we acquire Texas Instruments? Is this a company whose shareholders are willing to sell?"

When Chen Guohua heard the news, he was extremely surprised.

Texas Instruments was one of the most powerful companies in the North American electronic technology industry in the 1950s and 1960s, on par with IBM, Fairchild Semiconductor and other companies.

In the 1960s, China Resources Corporation had a lot of dealings with Texas Instruments.

In the late 1960s, China Resources Corporation completely dominated the global electronics market, and Texas Instruments gradually became an ordinary second- or third-tier company.

In the 1980s, in the entire North American market, except for IBM, which was still struggling to survive with large government orders, companies such as Texas Instruments, Control Data Corporation (computer company), and Eckert-Mauchly Computer Corporation had either become second- or third-tier small companies or had gone bankrupt.

At this time and space, the North American market in the 1980s was already dominated by mainland white glove companies such as Apple, Sydney, and Scott, and there was no place for local North American companies at all.

Scott Company was secretly acquired in 1965. The shareholder was a foreign enterprise registered in an overseas archipelago. It was quite complicated and difficult to deal with.

Originally, the Scott Company was only engaged in steel and mineral business, but starting in the mid-to-late 1970s, with the rise of Apple, in order to prevent Apple from being too independent or too dazzling, Chen Guohua allowed Scott Company and other companies to enter the electronic products market.

Among them, the business subcontracted by Scott is part of the upstream industrial chain, providing microprocessors and other components to companies such as Apple.

What is different from the original time and space is that in this time and space, Morris Chang had already become the acting president of IBM in 1965. In accordance with his promise at that time, he indeed made IBM's annual revenue exceed 3.5 billion US dollars, and then became the official president.

Not long after taking office, Morris Chang began to implement his plan. On the one hand, he specialized in chip foundry, and on the other hand, he continued to manage IBM.

He set up a chip company that only does foundry work, and placed its production base in Wandao.

It is also because of this that chip foundry in this time and space has appeared very early.

The emergence of chip foundry has also made upstream suppliers of microprocessors and other components such as Scott Corporation less obtrusive.

Although Scott's main business is in traditional industries such as minerals and oil, since investing in the emerging electronic technology sector, it has become one of the company's main business sectors.

Therefore, Scott is currently one of the giant suppliers of microprocessors and other components in North America and even the world, somewhat similar to Intel in later generations.

Although Intel in this time and space has also developed, it is still far behind the original time and space.

Just because Apple and China Resources currently occupy more than 85 percent of the global electronic products market, the remaining 15 percent of the market share is naturally not enough for companies like IBM.

Therefore, Intel, which specializes in supplying microprocessors and other components, can only be a small business.

"Old Chen, of course they are willing to sell, and they took the initiative to spread the news to the outside world, wanting to cash out and leave. I guess the current environment is not good, so they want to escape."

Hearing Wang Dingzuo's words, Chen Guohua couldn't help but nodded silently.

After pondering for a while, he continued:

"No problem. Then let Scott contact them. At the same time, contact IBM, Cray, Loft Technology, Siemens, Sony, Stewart, etc. I want to acquire these companies."

When mentioning the names of these companies, a hint of madness flashed in Chen Guohua's eyes.

In addition to IBM, Loft Technology, Siemens, or Stewart, all of these companies have one thing in common, that is, their main business includes acting as agents for China Resources' products.

Back then, the shareholders behind Cray Corporation kicked out the former president Raymond because of the huge profits from acting as an agent for China Resources Company.

Otherwise, Raymond would not have established Loft Technology Company later.

More than twenty years have passed since the 1960s.

During such a long period of time, there are some companies that have fallen behind, such as Donald Duck Technology, but there are more companies such as Stewart and Loft Technology that have always been agents of China Resources.

Regardless, these companies are making a lot of money.

Therefore, after the acquisition, this part of the profit can also be recovered.

After so many years, it's time to recoup this profit.

Therefore, under the orders of Chen Guohua, Wang Dingzuo and others, the white glove companies began to take action.

Texas Instruments is quite arrogant and is refusing to lower its prices?
Just because Scott Corporation is a giant, the shareholders of Texas Instruments naturally want to take a big bite of the fat meat before leaving, otherwise they will be unwilling to leave.

Scott Company did not tolerate the other party and after many fruitless negotiations, it directly withdrew from the competition.

It's not necessary to have the other party. Besides, the only remaining function of Texas Instruments is its talents. As for the equipment, they are not important at all.

If it was the 1960s, the equipment from Texas Instruments was still very important to the mainland.

Without the participation of Scott, the shareholders of Texas Instruments were dumbfounded, because other companies that wanted to get a piece of the pie did not have such a big appetite. How could they easily swallow Texas Instruments?

As the saying goes, a lean camel is bigger than a horse. What's more, Texas Instruments still has a lot of talented people. Its main business is indeed not as good as giants such as Apple and Scott, but it can also be regarded as a second- or third-tier enterprise.

As a result, an acquisition involving more than ten or twenty billion US dollars was shelved.

In Tokyo, at Sony's headquarters, the elderly Akio Morita heard that someone wanted to acquire his company. Without giving it a second thought, he simply shook his head and refused.

Sony is the life's work of him and Ibuka Masaru. Now he is a man in his sixties and his life is almost over, so naturally he would not think about selling his company.

After all, he had run Sony for his entire life, and emotionally speaking, Akio Morita felt that it was closer to him than his own children. There was no way he would sell it.

As for Ibuka Masaru, his sons were not up to the task and he was unable to withstand the attack at all. In the blink of an eye, he backstabbed his good friend Morita Akio.

Although they are good friends, in fact, the relationship between Ibuka Masaru and Morita Akio is not as good as before, and it can even be said that they are playing their own games.

When running a business together, disputes and disagreements are inevitable, and this is normal.

The strange thing is that Akio Morita is more powerful, and Ibuka Masaru is a stubborn person. When the two of them argue because of disagreements, neither of them will back down.

As deadlocks occurred more and more frequently, rifts arose.

There were several times when the family was about to split up, and Ibuka Masaru was even stripped of his power at one point.

Although both parties are old now, they should reconcile.

But how can it be that simple?

It just so happened that someone wanted to acquire Sony, and Ibuka Masaru didn't think much about it and just knelt down in front of the capital.

Ibuka was tied up and needed funds to pave the way for his sons, but Morita Akio did not.

Or to be more precise, Akio Morita was more capable and his descendants were also more powerful, so he did not need to worry about his children.

As a result, the plan to acquire Sony came to a standstill because of Akio Morita.

In addition to Sony, companies such as Siemens and Stewart are also almost all in trouble with acquisitions.

You don't know until you take action. Once you do, you'll be surprised.

It turns out that these capital enterprises already have deep roots in the local area, and it is really difficult to intervene at this time.

After receiving the results, Chen Guohua became a little worried.

There are many white-glove companies, but there are not many deeply rooted local companies.

If you want to make white glove companies more "localized" and hide deeper, you must take action, which is the so-called circle.

More than a dozen or twenty years ago, Chen Guohua formulated the white glove enterprise plan, and he really wanted to deeply root these white glove enterprises in Europe, the United States, Tokyo and other places.

But many things are not what you want them to be.

Just like the acquisition of Scott Corporation, it was just a North American local company with average capital and connections, and it was just an inconspicuous small company.

Therefore, such small businesses can be acquired quickly by just spending a little money.

But some companies, such as IBM, have core industries. What's the difference between trying to acquire these core industries at this time and digging up someone's ancestral graves?
There may be a slight difference, but it is not a big difference. In short, the acquisition plan is temporarily shelved and we can only think of other ways.

"What about the shares we acquired earlier?"

Chen Guohua heard this, pondered for a while, and said:
“Keep it. Maybe our thinking was wrong from the beginning. We don’t necessarily have to take control, nor do we necessarily have to delist and privatize.”

Large companies such as Chase Manhattan Bank and First Citibank in New York are all listed companies.

In the 1950s, North American banks rose rapidly because these financial companies regained a large amount of development funds through mergers, reorganizations and listings.

The Kuhn-Loeb Group and the Rothschild family fell behind because they insisted on a home-based workshop-style operation model and failed to keep up with the development trend of the times.

In particular, the Kuhn-Loeb Group was one of the eight largest financial groups in North America before the 1950s.

As a result, in the 1960s, the Kuhn-Loeb Group was surpassed by the Texas Group, the California Group and the First Citigroup.

The Rothschild family has been more low-key in recent years because their family has declined, not because they are afraid to cause trouble.

Capital has never been afraid of human laws. The only things they are afraid of are their enemies or themselves.

For example, the Morgan Consortium in its heyday, like the Rockefeller Consortium, was a powerful entity that controlled the economic lifeline of a country and could threaten the security of the entire country.

If it weren't for this, the big capitals such as Rockefeller and Morgan Consortium would not have been dismembered.

Judging from these historical trajectories, subsidiaries controlled by white-glove enterprises do not necessarily have to be privatized enterprises.

It is also very necessary to introduce some external capital to develop together or provide protection.

Of course, the ultimate goal of white glove companies is to make money, nothing else.

Song Xuyan also reacted quickly, nodded in agreement, and did not continue discussing the matter.

"In September this year, Sinovac will be the first technology company in the mainland to release a new product, and will compete with China Resources and Apple."

After talking about the big acquisition case, Chen Guohua took the initiative to talk about this matter again.

It is now April, 1985. It is almost May and not far from September.

The design plan for Sinovac's headquarters building has been finalized and construction of the building's foundation has begun.

According to the construction plan, the completion time of Sinovac's headquarters building will definitely be much faster than that of the Bank of China Tower in Hong Kong Island.

A bullet-shaped building, which is growing taller and taller like bamboo shoots after a spring rain, will rise from the ground in Chaoyang and become the new landmark of the capital.

Beijing, a thousand-year-old capital, will also usher in a great wave of urban development in the new era.

The entire building is built to a height of 589 meters, which is definitely the world's tallest building in the future. It can be said to be a symbol of Sinovac's dominance and strength in announcing to the world that it has won the first place.

Chen Guohua still argued for this construction height. Anyway, he could make a lot of money, and he also gave Song Xuyan and others a military order that they would definitely be able to earn 300 billion US dollars within this year.

It was precisely because of this military order that Chen Guohua's plan for the construction height of the bullet-shaped building was agreed to.

Looking around the world, these are all very explosive buildings.

I don’t know where Chen Guohua got the courage and confidence to build such a building in less than five years in the 1980s.

Yes, the construction of the Bank of China Building in Hong Kong Island took place from 1985 to the end of 1989, which took more than five years.

If Sinovac's Bullet Tower is to be completed faster than the Bank of China Tower, it must be completed within five years.

This is also another consideration for Chen Guohua to propose this plan: Beijing speed!

Announce to the outside world that under the reform and opening up, the economic development speed of the mainland will be as fast as the construction speed of the Bullet Tower, and it will form a trend of Beijing speed, making the development of China faster and more rapid.

Five years may seem like a long time, but it is actually very short.

This is especially true when it comes to building a skyscraper that will take you all over the world.

Therefore, after the plan was announced, top construction teams and companies from all over the world flocked to Beijing.

There are also many top construction corps in the mainland, and they all want to take over the construction project of the Bullet Building.

Even if it's not for money, it's for fame.

What's more, Sinovac Biotech is not short of money, as one of its shareholders is Zhenhua Research Institute.

Of course, the outside world doesn’t know this.

However, after Sinovac’s new product launch in September this year, the outside world could certainly guess the role of Zhenhua Research Institute.

Speaking of the new product launch conference, Song Xuyan's expression suddenly became very emotional.

Back then, in June 1966, he took over Liu Guanzhong's position and became the new general manager of China Resources Company.

At that time, China Resources Corporation held two new product launch conferences every year, and every year it released a number of electronic products that fascinated global electronic technology fans.

Song Xuyan, who did not leave the position of general manager of China Resources Company until 1978, naturally thought of these past events when he heard about the new product launch conference.

Of course Chen Guohua noticed the expression on Song Xuyan's face, but he had no intention of stopping.

"Sinovac is destined to become a new engine for the economic development of our mainland. It will drive our mainland's electronic technology industry to a new level."

"But it's still small and can't stand the brunt of the trouble. According to my estimation, the obstacle will come from people like Herbert Walker."

"China Resources is still one of the giants. The rise of Sinovac will inevitably make China Resources the target of external attacks and solicitations. Of course, we will have to wait and see what will happen. In short, we need to make relevant preparations."

Song Xuyan nodded. Of course he knew all this, so he started chatting with Chen Guohua.

We talked about Sinovac for a while, and then moved on to other things.

In recent years, due to the reform and opening up, Chen Guohua has paid close attention to the economy while focusing on scientific research.

Therefore, every now and then, I would chat about these things with Song Xuyan.

Whether it is China Resources, Sinovac, or other white-glove companies, these are of great importance.

The layout for the future is very important. For example, when Song Xuyan mentioned the global GPS positioning and navigation system just now, Chen Guohua immediately became excited.

"Old Chen, you have been holding back on this matter. Isn't it time to deal with it now?"

After hearing the other party's words, Chen Guohua nodded, but hesitated and did not speak immediately.

In fact, regarding positioning and navigation, as early as 1979, when the mainland civil aviation system was developing a landing system, it mentioned new technological applications such as the satellite-based navigation system and the Chang'e auxiliary subsystem.

However, mainland civil aviation is currently still a state-owned enterprise and not a private enterprise at all.

In other words, these satellite-based navigation systems are still within controllable range.

However, the GPS global positioning system launched in North America has been put into use since 1983.

This incident was because a civilian airliner on the peninsula mistakenly entered Moscow airspace and was shot down. So Ronald Wilson, who was not in the hospital at the time, announced that the GPS positioning system would be open to the public.

By 1984, North America had adopted selective availability technology for GPS that reduced the C/A code positioning accuracy, deliberately reducing positioning accuracy to simulate unauthorized users using GPS for military purposes.

In other words, Song Xuyan had already mentioned this matter to Chen Guohua last year.

But Chen Guohua was very busy at the time. First, he was making money. Second, he was busy dealing with advanced technologies such as quantum computers and quantum transmitters. Therefore, he had no time to pay attention to this matter.

Because once attention is paid to this matter, it means that Chen Guohua must also be involved.

As for the current satellite-based system in the mainland, it is actually not inferior to the global positioning navigation system, and the technology is even more advanced.

Especially after the air defense system was established, more than twenty-four low-Earth satellites have been deployed in low-Earth orbit. The communication system established with three synchronous satellites can completely defeat North America's global positioning navigation system.

However, after October last year, quantum transmitters appeared, and the communication system based on synchronous satellites can be considered an outdated technology application.

Therefore, the current satellite-based system can actually be considered as an outdated thing.

This is one of the reasons why Chen Guohua did not want to get involved in understanding the global positioning navigation system before. Another reason is that establishing a new civilian version of the satellite-based system will definitely require funds and advanced technology, so Chen Guohua can only wait.

But now that Song Xuyan mentioned it, we can first open up some satellite-based systems to the civilian sector, and leave most of the functions to the military sector.

At the same time, Chen Guohua will promote the research and development of technologies based on quantum transmitters and new positioning satellites.

Simply put, it means developing positioning satellites that are more defensive, more accurate, more advanced, and have a longer lifespan.

As we all know, generally speaking, low-Earth orbit satellites have a limited lifespan.

For example, the earliest Dongfanghong satellite had a lifespan of only one or two years, and Moscow's Salyut space station was originally designed to have a lifespan of five years.

But what about the current Nantianmen Space Station?

When it was first designed, its lifespan was already fifty years, which shows that its technology is so advanced that it far exceeds the space stations in Moscow and Washington.

Theoretically speaking, as long as they can be supplied, maintained, and partially updated in a timely manner, spacecraft or satellites in low-Earth orbit can actually operate for a long time.

However, due to technical limitations and cost factors, it would be better to directly launch new satellites rather than updating in this way.

Chen Guohua now has a similar idea, which is to eliminate the original backward satellite-based system and develop a new navigation system.

After deciding on the idea, Chen Guohua briefly explained it to Song Xuyan, who then curiously asked:
"Old Chen, I don't know much about technology, but when will this new technology you mentioned be available? And once it is open to the public, will it have an impact on our military field?"

To put it simply, the current satellite-based system is a transitional phased product. Only after it is completely retired can it become a complete civilian navigation system.

Although the new navigation system will apply more advanced technology, it will take time to realize such technology.

So taking all factors into consideration, time, cost, etc. are all very critical points. How to weigh these contradictions depends entirely on Chen Guohua.

"Old Song, this technology is already available, it just needs to be redesigned."

Chen Guohua chuckled and said:

"In fact, this matter is very simple. You don't need to worry about it. Zhenhua Research Institute will contact other brother units and redesign a new satellite. After all this is completed, it will be handed over to Northwest China to launch into space."

Hearing this, Song Xuyan also laughed.

That’s all for now, we’ve finally finished talking about today’s work.

"Let's invite Lao Wang and the others to have a drink tonight?"

"Old Song, you know I don't like drinking very much. I only drink twice a week at most. Drinking frequently is not good for your health."

When Song Xuyan heard this, he rolled his eyes:
"I say, Old Chen, you are too boring, aren't you? You said that drinking is bad for the body, but you have so much wine in your underground wine cellar, and it's aged wine, and you continue to store so much wine every year. Now you tell me that you don't like to drink much? Who would believe it?"

When talking about Chen Guohua's underground wine cellar, Song Xuyan's face was filled with indignation.

One reason was that Chen Guohua protected the wine cellar too well, and outsiders like him couldn't do anything about it.

It’s because Chen Guohua is so awesome. He has installed so many black technologies. If you want to unlock it, it’s impossible without Chen Guohua’s permission.

Second, every time Chen Guohua said that there was no wine left, then after a while he would take out a lot of good wine from the underground wine cellar.

Even Song Xuyan suspected that this underground wine cellar might be a treasure chest that could hold Moutai liquor older than 30 years.

You have to know that it is now 1985, and the People's Republic of China has been founded for more than 30 years.

Moutai was designated as the national liquor in 1949. So it’s not surprising that Chen Guohua bought Moutai produced in 1949 or earlier in 1958, right?

Even though it was difficult to buy Moutai produced in 1949, it shouldn't be a problem to buy some produced after 1950, right?

Third, Chen Guohua is very picky about food and has a lot of requirements. He only drinks old wine that has been stored in the cellar for more than ten years, and it has to be the wine he has stored in his own cellar. He will not drink other people's wine.

To be honest, when it comes to wine, it's enough to have just enough. There's no need to worry too much about it.

However, today in mainland China, even Maotai Distillery itself does not have as many good wines as Chen Guohua.

In addition, because of Chen Guohua's attitude, distilleries such as Wuliangye, Moutai, Fenjiu, and Zhuyeqing have all begun to make such investments.

That is, the scale of winemaking is increased every year, with part of it used for cellaring and part for sales, instead of using all of it for sales and very little for cellaring as in the past.

In fact, everyone knows that stored wine is more fragrant, and the longer the storage time, the better. However, we did not have the strength in the past. Food limitation was a major factor, and the most critical factor was the lack of money.

But since 1963, there has been basically no talk of a food crisis in the mainland.

To be more precise, in fact, in 1961, there was almost no food crisis problem.

By the 1970s, all restrictions on grain supply for brewing wine had been lifted, and how major wineries brewed wine depended entirely on their sales plans.

Later, when Chen Wei got married, Chen Guohua released the Moutai liquor that had been stored in the cellar for twenty years. Suddenly, the whole capital and even the whole country were in the trend of storing old liquor in the cellar.

Six years have passed since 1979, and many wineries have launched old wines that have been stored in cellars for five or ten years, and have also come up with various marketing strategies.

Song Xuyan and his team can indeed buy such old wine, but it is still slightly inferior to the old wine collected by Chen Guohua.

why?
Because Chen Guohua's wine is indeed very different, it is better stored in the cellar, has a mellower and more fragrant taste, and leaves a long aftertaste.

Moreover, taking advantage of Chen Guohua as much as possible is more in line with human nature of taking advantage.

Even though Song Xuyan and the others didn't lack this little money, they just preferred to see Chen Guohua's "painful" look.

Of course, this is just a way for them to keep in touch.

"I don't care anyway. Old Chen, prepare the fifteen-year-old wine tonight. We'll be there on time at 6:30!"

After saying this, Song Xuyan left, leaving Chen Guohua stunned.

In the evening, Song Xuyan, Wang Dingzuo and others arrived. Just like the Japanese invaders entering the village, they immediately set their eyes on the old wine prepared by Chen Guohua.

"Good wine, good wine, this is good wine. Lao Chen, leave this bottle to me and we will drink this."

Wang Dingzuo immediately wanted to take away Chen Guohua's bottle of wine, but was stopped by Song Xuyan and others.

Want to have it all to yourself?
There are no doors.

For a moment, everyone was arguing about this bottle of wine. In the end, everyone naturally divided it up, but Chen Guohua did not take out more wine.

Their little tricks are the same over and over again, there's nothing new about them. How could Chen Guohua not be on guard?

In short, if they want to take advantage, it will be as difficult as climbing to heaven.

Inside the room, they were drinking and chatting happily, seemingly without any worries.

But in fact, what they were drinking was not wine, but the sadness of being a guest in a sad autumn far away, the deep affection of having no friends after going west of Yangguan, and the heroic ambition of writing poems with a spear in hand.

After taking a sip of the old wine, it feels like the mighty Yellow River coming from the sky, the coolness of the jade pillow and gauze kitchen in the middle of the night, the vicissitudes of life under the Flower-Fruit Mountain for five hundred years, and the unfulfilled ambitions of Chang'an 30,000 miles away in the prosperous age.
