Hong Kong: Starting with 10 billion

Chapter 101 will be put into production in 1982!
In fact, the ex-factory price of Kweichow Moutai was not determined according to market mechanisms for a long time.

Before 2000, although the price of Moutai was indeed rising, this increase was interfered with by official administrative requirements.

After all, for a long time, Moutai was supplied to the military, state-owned stores, China Resources Company, and supply and marketing cooperatives in various provinces and cities.

This is also one of the reasons that suppress the development of Kweichow Moutai.

But since 2001, Kweichow Moutai has raised its prices nine times in 20 years.

Production also increased from 5000 tons to 50000 tons.

As prices and output soared, some people saw opportunities for speculation.

Although Fang Hexuan wanted to take over all the remaining 1980 tons of Moutai in 650,

However, there is no problem of slow sales of Moutai today.

It's only September now, and there are still three or four months before the real peak sales season.

It is also a hot commodity at the end of the year.

Fang Hexuan had indeed not thought of this before he came, so he could only focus his attention on the deputy senior official of GZ Province.

"Boss, it's not easy for me to come to Guizhou. Even if you can't sell all of it to me, can you sell me half of it?"

"What do you think of this week, Director?"

"Mr. Fang, Moutai Distillery also has an upright mission. We will also supply products to various major government agencies by the end of the year."

"50 bottles, no less. I can give you a higher price."

"In addition, I can promise that I will purchase liquor from Maotai Distillery every year in the future."

"I don't think it's too much. I can consume the 5000 tons produced by Maotai Distillery every year."

"Of course, this is just my good wish. I hope Moutai Distillery can prepare 100 million bottles of liquor for me every year."

"Mr. Fang, this is almost impossible. One million bottles is 100 tons, but the winery can only produce more than 500 tons a year. If you take half of it, then all the major agencies will be left with nothing."

"Director Zhou, everything depends on human effort. Guizhou needs to develop, and Moutai Distillery must also shoulder its due responsibilities!"

"Haha, the leader still has a broad vision!"

"Mr. Fang is also very generous. He came here to buy a quarter of the winery's annual production capacity."

"Leader, you must know that I am building a car factory in Shenzhen, and I also plan to build a factory in the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau in the future."

"Oh? Are you serious, Mr. Fang?"

"I dare not lie in front of my boss. I have ideas about Wuling Motors in Guangxi and plan to cooperate with them in the future. In this way, we can also look forward to building a factory in Guizhou."

"Haha, Mr. Fang is so courageous!"

"Nowadays, it is said that the rich first help the poor. I have nothing but money. If I can contribute a little to the development of the southwest region, I am definitely willing to take action."

"Well, let me take charge of the Moutai Distillery for the time being. Starting next year, I will provide Mr. Fang with 300 tons of 60 bottles of wine every year. This year, I will set the quantity at 40 bottles. How do you think?"

"Thank you for your help, boss!"

Maotai Distillery did not undercut Fang Hexuan in terms of price, and even offered a slightly lower price than the current ex-factory price.

A bottle of Sunflower Moutai costs 8.2 RMB, while Five Star Moutai costs only 10.8 RMB, and Feitian Moutai costs only 13.5 RMB.

Fang Hexuan doesn’t care much about the price, but he requires Moutai Distillery to provide an “identity card” for each bottle of liquor.

That is, the production date must be specially marked on the bottles of this batch of liquor.

The packaging boxes of Five Star and Feitian Moutai are also equipped with factory card labels.

Fang Hexuan also agreed to bear these additional costs.

The purpose of doing this, of course, is to ensure that every bottle of Moutai has a birth certificate so that it can be traced.

This way, he could hype up the value of the liquor in his hands. Fang Hexuan planned to store the Kweichow Moutai he bought in the underground treasure house of the island manor.

After ten or twenty years, the older the Moutai is, the higher the price it will be sold for.

He even had a malicious thought that every time donations were needed, he would sell tens of thousands of bottles of Moutai to raise enough money.

It can also be regarded as indirectly doing charity for the wealthy class who can afford to spend tens of thousands of yuan for a bottle of Moutai.

He could all imagine that he would be given nicknames such as "Moutai Spokesperson" and "Moutai King" by his drinking buddies and netizens in the future.

Director Zhou has not yet realized that he can use his title as the richest man to advertise Moutai.
It was not until the mid-to-late 80s that the entire Moutai Distillery and even the later Moutai Group began to realize that they could make use of this super spokesperson.

By that time, invisible Moutai and Lafite advertisements often appeared in Hong Kong movies.

There is no doubt that they are all Fang Hexuan's masterpieces.

However, these are all things for later.

Fang Hexuan successfully completed the purchasing plan for Moutai liquor and did not stay in Guizhou for long.

His next stop is to return to Shenzhen, mainly to see the current construction status of the automobile factory.

It goes without saying that the SZ Municipal Government attaches great importance to this investment project.

From the bustling scene at the construction site, Fang Hexuan knew that everything was going according to plan.

The efficiency and professionalism of infrastructure engineers are definitely higher than those of ordinary civilian workers.

Fang Hexuan was not worried about the construction quality, he just wanted to speed up the construction.

After all, Transformers toys have already started to be distributed in North America and Europe, and the time window left for him is not very ample.

In addition, Jackie Chan's "Cannonball Run" is scheduled to start filming next year, and BYD will definitely be Jackie Chan's exclusive car.

Fang Hexuan doesn't want BYD to be unable to produce finished vehicles after the movie is released.

Although prop vehicles can be assembled at the R&D center in Hong Kong,

But in Fang Hexuan's plan, BYD's first compact three-box sedan must be mass-produced in 1982.

The factory building has been completed, and there are still many links such as equipment installation, debugging, and trial production.

Therefore, this more than one year should not only not be wasted, but also need to be used quickly.

This does not mean that the quality of construction should be deliberately compromised for the sake of speed.

Instead, Fang Hexuan requires the engineering team to work in three shifts 24 hours a day to shorten the construction period of the factory to half of the original period.

He brought his people to the city government and met with the mayor and other leaders.

After explaining his plans and concerns in full, the leaders also frowned and began to think.

"Dear leaders, I know this request is a bit unreasonable, but I also hope that our Shenzhen No. 1 project can be put into production quickly and strive to export the car as soon as possible."

"I will not let our PLA comrades work in vain. I will give extra wages to those who work overtime, as well as overtime allowances and food allowances."

"I don't mind spending a little more money if it can get the project completed sooner."

"Boss Fang, is it really necessary to be so urgent?"

"According to my plan, production must begin the year after next, which is 82."

"Okay, I'll go talk to the military comrades about this issue alone. Even if it costs us our lives, we must ensure the quality and quantity and complete the project on time."

"Thank you, leader!"
