Chapter 556 Old wine, integrity
At this time, Mr. Liu and Mr. Zheng came, followed by a group of people, a group of young people.
In this group of young people, everyone was carrying something in their hands. The thing they were carrying, it was obvious without thinking that it was wine, and it was all old wine.
These young men were soldiers in the compound. They put down their things and left.
"Hahaha! Fangyuan, come and take a look, these are all old wines! Several boxes are almost moldy." Mr. Zheng said to Yuan Yuan with a smile.
Of course, the mold he was talking about was the box, not the wine. If the wine could become mold, that would be a big problem.
"I said Mr. Zheng, it's really not necessary." Fang Yuan said, dumbfounded.
There was so much wine, and it was all old wine. It was obvious at a glance that the two old men had really cleaned up the entire compound.
"I don't want it for nothing. Why don't you want it if it's like this?"
"Uh!" Fang Yuan nodded helplessly and said, "Okay! I want it."
"Is this right? Do you want to eat?"
"You two are really good at timing. You came back just before dinner." The old lady looked at the two old people and said.
"Hey hey hey, we just came here because it was almost time." Mr. Liu rubbed his hands and said.
"Come in and sit down! Why are you standing outside?" the old lady said.
After Mr. Liu and Mr. Zheng entered, Fangyuan took a general look and saw that the wine delivered by the two old men was about twenty boxes.
Except for a few boxes of Xifeng, the rest were all Moutai, and they were all special supplies. I didn’t know that these were the private collections of the old people in the compound, but now they were taken over by two old people.
Not only that, after Fangyuan entered the house, the two old men each gave Fangyuan a lot of tickets.
All tickets are special. You must know that the compound is different from outside. When buying wine and Moutai outside, if you don’t have a ticket, you can buy it at a high price. But in the compound, if you don’t have a ticket, you can’t buy it at a high price.
"Fang Yuan, I know you are not short of money, so go buy these drinks yourself!" Mr. Liu handed the drink ticket to Fan Yuan and said.
"Thank you, Mr. Liu."
"You kid, why are you being polite to me?"
"It's just that we weren't so polite when you gave us things!" Mr. Zheng also said at this time.
"Uh! Okay! Then I'm not welcome."
To be honest, there is really no need for Fangyuan to be polite, because these tickets are useless in the hands of the elderly people in the compound, and few people are willing to use the tickets to buy wine.
It's not because of anything else, but because these wines are too expensive, even if you have a ticket, a bottle of wine costs more than two yuan, nearly three yuan.
Although it is said that the salary of the elderly living in the compound is high, don't forget that their expenses are also high. Of course, this does not refer to themselves, but to their families.
Who doesn’t have a few children? This subsidy point, that subsidy point, wages have bottomed out, where will the money come from to buy alcohol again!
If nothing else, let’s talk about Mr. Xu! Mr. Xu’s salary is very high, but Mr. Xu rarely buys anything, even if he is an old lady.
Because Mr. Xu also has several children, although they all have jobs, they still don’t have enough money, so Mr. Xu needs subsidies.
Of course, it may not necessarily be what the children want, but Mr. Xu can't help but give it. This is the old man.
So this is also the reason why Mr. Zheng and Mr. Liu brought so many drinking tickets, because they were all similar and no one was willing to buy them.
"If you really feel sorry for yourself, go back and get us a few boxes of Erguotou. I think Erguotou is still very enjoyable to drink."
"No problem! Don't talk about Erguotou, Maotai is no problem either," Fangyuan said quickly.
"Forget it about Maotai, I feel that it is not as strong as Erguotou. I still like to drink Erguotou," Mr. Liu said.
"Uh!" Fangyuan was stunned for a moment, and soon understood what Mr. Liu meant.
To put it bluntly, I still think Moutai is expensive. You have to know that Erguotou and Moutai are about the same degree. Even if Erguotou is higher, it is not much higher.
Besides, wine with more than 50 degrees of alcohol content is already considered highly alcoholic.
The lunch was very sumptuous, mostly using ingredients brought by Fangyuan, including ribs, meat, etc.
"Oh! If Fangyuan comes over, it's like celebrating the New Year." Mr. Zheng said.
Mr. Liu curled his lips, looked at Mr. Zheng with contempt and said, "Can you eat these during the Chinese New Year?"
"Uh!" Mr. Zheng touched his nose and said, "Why don't I just use a metaphor?"
"Okay, you two, you have been fighting for your whole life, and now you are still fighting! Let's eat quickly!" Mr. Xu glanced at the two old people and said.
"Eat, eat, I'm hungry." Fangyuan picked up the chopsticks and said.
"Yes, yes, let's eat." Mr. Liu first picked up a piece of meat and put it into his mouth to chew.
When it comes to eating, these old people no longer have any reserve at all. They can really be said to eat meat and drink wine in large quantities.
Also, several elderly people were born in the military. It is normal for them to eat quickly, and they have formed a habit, which is the same at home.
Within a few minutes, several old people were eating until their mouths were dripping with oil, and they were drinking glass after glass of wine.
The meal was finished soon. The old people were so happy that they sat on their chairs rubbing their bellies and unable to get up.
It’s not that I don’t want to get up, it’s that I can’t get up. To put it bluntly, I just ate too much.
The service staff made a pot of tea and came over. After drinking the pot of tea, she felt better. Then Fangyuan sat on the sofa and chatted with a few elderly people for a while, and then prepared to leave.
Fangyuan loaded the wine into the car first. Of course, he didn't take away all of it. He also left a few boxes for some elderly people.
And he didn't go to the service shop to buy wine. It wasn't that he didn't want to buy it, but he couldn't hold it, so he could only come back and buy it when he had nothing to do.
People nowadays don’t have much idea about vintage wine. In other words, you can probably still buy old wine from service agencies.
Fangyuan had been buying a lot of wine before. He even bought Maotai liquor that was more than four years old from the supply and marketing cooperative.
Pulling a cart of wine, Fangyuan returned home. Neither the eldest sister nor the third sister went out. They were reading the book Fangyuan bought for them.
The second sister and Jin Wenli had to go to work, so they left after eating early this morning. Originally, Fangyuan wanted to see them off, but they refused because they were riding bicycles.
"Brother, why didn't you come back at noon?" Seeing Fangyuan come in, the eldest sister put down the book and asked.
"Oh! I had something to do at noon, so I just had a bite outside." Fangyuan didn't tell the eldest sister about the elderly people because it was unnecessary.
"That's it! How are you eating? If not, I'll make some for you."
The eldest sister thought that Fangyuan ate in a restaurant, and generally it was not good to eat in restaurants, so it had nothing to do with the amount of food ordered.
"No, sister, I've finished eating. Let's talk about it tonight."
"Okay, you go back to your room and rest! I'll read some more."
"good."
Fangyuan did not move the wine, because the wine had been stored in his space and there was no need to move it at all.
Time passed by in a hurry, and another ten days passed in the blink of an eye. During these ten days, everyone around Fangyuan was busy in the store.
Now the store is brightly lit, and even the outside area has been tidied up.
For example, the shop windows used to have anti-theft windows made of wooden boards, but now Fangyuan has changed them into rolling shutter doors.
The same goes for the shop door. Of course, Fangyuan made it himself, and there are no such things for sale now.
The store had also been cleaned. In the meantime, the eldest sister went back and brought five girls over, and these five girls were all at least junior high school graduates.
There are so many people to work with, and within a few days everything was tidied up inside and out.
Fangyuan plans to open on January 1st, which is New Year’s Day.
The opening is not far away now. Before opening, we need to make some other preparations, the most important one is advertising.
Of course, this advertisement is not going to be on TV. Fangyuan plans to put some ads in newspapers, and then post small advertisements everywhere.
There is nothing we can do about this. If in later generations, we could just create a website, but there is no such thing now.
Then you can only post small ads.
First, Fangyuan found a newspaper and published an advertisement for a month at a price of 10,000 yuan.
To be honest, the price is not low. This is mainly because Fangyuan places advertisements. People can advertise for a few hundred yuan for a week, so why should they spend 10,000 yuan.
Because he was on the front page. Of course, the front page was either the headline or the bottom of the first page. The newspaper gave him a space.
Now newspapers are also looking at money. You must know that no matter how much money you paid in the past, newspapers would not be able to advertise for you.
That's right, Fangyuan doesn't have high hopes for being published in the newspaper. He mainly wants to build momentum. If it works, he will first get rid of the momentum.
You must know that people nowadays still believe in newspapers. No matter what, as long as it is reported in the newspapers, then the people will believe it.
The most important point in the preparation work is training. No, before the opening, Fangyuan asked the eldest sister to organize people and conduct unified training, including the eldest sister and the third sister.
The training location is in the living room of the courtyard, because the new girls will also live here in the future. Of course, this is only temporary.
After the store becomes regular, Fangyuan will find a relatively nearby house for them to live in.
It is even said that the eldest sister and the third sister may move out by then. This does not mean that Fangyuan will let the eldest sister and the third sister go out, but that once they are on the right track, living together will be much more convenient.
Anyway, no matter where I live, it will always be a round house, but I don’t live here anymore.
Even if you don't have a house by the front door, you can live in Houhai, it's not far away anyway.
Fangyuan didn't talk much. He mainly talked about how to operate, but didn't talk about how to deal with customers.
In Fangyuan's words, when dealing with customers, there are only two words: integrity. Nothing else is needed. As long as you can achieve these two words, nothing else matters.
But you must know that the most difficult thing to do in business is these two words, because the most common thing in business is intrigue.
To be honest, it is really difficult to achieve the word integrity, but no matter how difficult it is, we must continue as always...
