There is indeed a towering red bean tree in Hongdou Village in Shangougou. The huge trunk requires five adults to hold hands to surround it. [~] It is at least thirty meters high, and the crown of the tree is like a huge umbrella.
The sky is open, and standing under the trees, it is difficult to see the sky.
When Tian Ze and his party arrived, Lin Chenlu and Lin Xuan naturally welcomed them warmly. Mother Lin even killed chickens and fish and prepared a sumptuous lunch herself. The people in the mountains are very simple and hospitable.
During the dinner, neither Ling Qing nor Tian Ze talked about investment, they just chatted.
Tian Ze has been secretly observing the reactions of Lin Chenlu and Lin Xuan. He found that the two sisters were hesitant to speak several times. Sometimes they also mentioned investment matters, but they only talked briefly and did not enter.
Main topic.
Tian Ze understands the difficulties faced by the sisters. If he were a big businessman or a big boss, Lin Chenlu or Lin Xuan might speak out. But as a policeman, he has a special status and has no business experience, so naturally it would be difficult for him to speak out.
After all, we have not known each other for a long time, and there is no deep friendship. In this case, if you casually ask others to invest in their winery, you may scare them away as soon as you open your mouth.
After lunch, at Ling Qing's suggestion, Lin Chenlu and his brother took Tian Ze and his party to visit the winery that was still under construction.
There were not many workers on the construction site, and they looked lazy. They stopped chatting when they saw Lin Chenlu and Lin Xuan coming over, and started working slowly.
Not far from the newly built factory site, there were several old tile-roofed houses and a Sanhe soil drying ground. The drying ground was filled with distiller's lees, and the fragrance of the distiller's lees could be smelled from a long distance. Tian Ze secretly thought that that place was probably
Is this the ancestral brewery of the Lin family?
Sure enough, Lin Xuan pointed to those tile-roofed houses and said: "Brother Tian, that is our family's ancestral winery. The wine cellars inside are two hundred years old. The grass wine I brought you last time is
It’s brewed in the old wine cellar, I’ll take you to see it.”
Most of today's liquor is blended with industrial alcohol, and even a bottle of good wine costing several hundred yuan may not be made from grain. [Ye*] [*] Manufacturers with good conscience use practical alcohol.
Unscrupulous profiteers even use industrial alcohol to blend liquor. Drinking this kind of liquor is extremely harmful to the body. Therefore, despite the fact that some civil servants may appear to be prosperous on the surface, they are actually engaged in a high-risk occupation.
He is fighting with his kidneys. If he is not careful, he will be sacrificed at the wine table and become a martyr.
"Boss Lin, when will wages be paid?" A middle-aged man wearing a safety helmet walked over at this time.
"Tomorrow, I originally sent it today, but as you saw, Foreman Zhao, there are guests coming, so it's not very convenient." Lin Chenlu's face became a little ugly.
Tian Ze found that Lin Chenlu's eyes were a little evasive when he said this. He could see that even if he didn't come, Lin Chenlu would not be paid because she had no money at all.
Lin Xuan also glared at Foreman Zhao. He asked for wages at this time, obviously because he wanted to embarrass Lin Chenlu.
"Today and tomorrow, Boss Lin, you have been delaying for two months. Please give me a clear answer, which day will it be?" Foreman Zhao said with an unkind expression.
"Then...tomorrow." Lin Chenlu's eyebrows furrowed. She had already noticed that Foreman Zhao was deliberately humiliating her in front of others and forcing her to pay her wages.
"Tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow again! Boss Lin, you can't even remember how many tomorrows you promised? I'll tell you the truth, if we don't pay our wages today, we won't be finished." Foreman Zhao said.
Lin Chenlu felt bitter in her heart, and her eyes were full of water. She was a very smart and vindictive girl. She guessed that Tian Ze came here this time with some intention to invest. This was an opportunity, but she didn't
She had to bring it up by herself. She was waiting for Tian Ze to bring it up, but she didn't expect that foreman Zhao would attack at this time, making her lose face. When something like this happens, even those who are willing to invest may turn around and leave.
Go. Who would invest money in a winery that started to default on workers’ wages while it was still under construction?
However, what you owe others is what you owe others. Construction workers are all low-level migrant workers who sell their labor to make money. If they cannot get their wages, their families will suffer poverty. [~] This kind of wage arrears is a problem no matter where you go.
Go ahead and say it, Lin Chenlu is unreasonable.
"Foreman Zhao, what do you mean? My sister said, tomorrow is tomorrow. If you keep bothering me, I'll be rude to you." Lin Xuan suddenly got angry.
"What? You owe us wages and you still want to hit someone? I'm right here. If you want to hit me, just come over. If you don't beat me to death, you'll be considered a coward!" Gong Zhao refused to give in and looked furious.
Several construction workers pretending to be working came over one after another, some carrying shovels and steel drills in their hands.
Seeing that a fight was about to happen, Tian Ze quickly grabbed Lin Xuan and said to him: "Are you so angry? If they hurt you, it would be easier to deal with, but once you hurt them, things would be different.
But it’s too big. Do you still want to go in and squat for a while?”
"Brother Tian, I..." Lin Xuan sighed heavily and was speechless.
"I'll take care of it. You guys go to the brewery and have a look." Tazawa said.
Lin Chenlu nodded gratefully and walked towards the old wine shop with Ling Qing and Qian Xinyu. She still had a smile on her face when she came, but suddenly something like this happened, and there was no trace of smile on her face anymore.
. She glanced at Ling Qing anxiously, but found that Ling Qing was still smiling, as if nothing happened just now. She secretly said in her heart, this woman with an unusual relationship with Tian Ze is not simple, she is really
Is he the director of the orphanage?
Lin Chenlu didn't know that Ling Qing was actually a department head of a multinational company before becoming the director of the Sunshine Orphanage. When it comes to doing business, Ling Qing's abilities are actually above hers!
If these two women cooperate, then the best division of labor is actually that Ling Qing is responsible for promotion and operation, and Lin Chenlu is responsible for the management and production of the winery. One is in charge of the outside, and the other is in charge of the inside.
Seeing Lin Chenlu walking away with his guests, Foreman Zhao hesitated and finally decided to catch up. Migrant workers are actually a very vulnerable group. Some of their ways of asking for wages are jumping off buildings, climbing tower cranes, etc., which is unacceptable, but if
Who is willing to risk jumping off a building to climb a tower crane when they can go through normal channels?
Intuition told Foreman Zhao that if he pestered Lin Chenlu for wages while there were guests visiting, Lin Chenlu would find a way for him under pressure. However, just as he was about to catch up, a fat man stopped him.
"What do you want to do? Get away from me!" Foreman Zhao said angrily.
Several construction workers also gathered around, shouting: "Get out of the way! We want wages!"
Tian Ze didn't mind. He took out his police officer ID card with a smile on his face and handed it to Foreman Zhao in a stylish manner. He didn't explain anything and just looked at Foreman Zhao.
"Police? Are you a policeman?" Foreman Zhao glanced at the police officer's ID card and then looked at Tian Ze, very surprised.
Tazawa nodded, "Yes."
"Officer Tian, as you saw, we are not making trouble, we just want wages." Foreman Zhao, who had always had a tough tone, softened and seemed more careful in his words.
Tian Ze patted his shoulder and said: "Listen to me, brother, go back to work and I will give you wages tomorrow. If you make trouble and hurt someone, not only will you not get wages, but you may also go to jail. At that time
, I am merciless, I will arrest whoever needs to be arrested."
"Officer Tian, it's not us who are causing trouble, we just want wages, why should we be arrested? Then arrest us." Foreman Zhao said, "I will take my brothers to jump off the building when we get out, and we will see how you end up."
Tazawa, "..."
"That's right, we just want wages, and we haven't broken any laws. Who dares to arrest us?" Several construction workers said in unison.
The identity of the police could not suppress the situation, and Tian Ze could not beat up these construction workers to make them disperse. After thinking for a while, he came up with a way. He leaned over and said something in the ear of Foreman Zhao.
talk.
Foreman Zhao was stunned for a moment, then said with a smile on his face, "Really?"
Tazawa said seriously: "Do you think a person like me can lie to others?"
Foreman Zhao chuckled and said loudly: "Brothers, let's go to work. We will get our wages tomorrow, and we will also get bonuses."
"Brother Zhao, what did the police officer tell you?" a co-worker asked suspiciously.
"This winery has found an investor. Do you know who the investor is? It's the Academy of Sciences. From now on, all the wines in this winery will be special wines, exclusively for leaders and scientists. They are not available on the market.
"Foreman Zhao was frothing at the mouth as he spoke.
"Academy of Sciences? No..."
"Why not? Have you seen those four bodyguards in black suits over there? Those are genuine Chinese bodyguards."
"Will you really get paid tomorrow?"
"Yes, yes, this matter cannot be ignored. Otherwise, why would Officer Tian come here? He is specifically to clear the way for the leader. Do you know who the leader is? She is the tall and thin female leader."
"..."
Tian Ze secretly wiped his sweat and went back to quickly negotiate the investment. Otherwise, he would not be able to pay wages tomorrow, and his credibility and prestige would be ruined. Foreman Zhao might take his brothers to the government office.
If there was a scene, it would be difficult to deal with. He secretly glanced at Xiao Wu and three other national security bodyguards who were on guard at the perimeter, and secretly said sorry in his heart. He was using them as shields this time.
.
Tian Ze walked towards the old winery and stopped when passing by the drying area. He squatted beside a pile of lees, grabbed a handful of lees and sniffed it.
"Grain, sorghum, corn, and... strange, I don't know what emits this special smell. Maybe, those materials are Lin Chenlu's family's secrets that are not told outside. I am an investor, I don't know if she will
Will you tell me?" Tian Ze thought to himself.
However, even if Lin Chenlu didn't tell him the secret recipe for brewing "grass wine", Tian Ze wouldn't mind. The main purpose of his investment was to make money make money. And he was very relieved that Ling Qing was in charge of this aspect.
After making money, not only will he have a wife, but he can also build a complex for the children. Although there are some risks in doing so, it is better than leaving it in the bank to depreciate? As for the secret recipe, he is a "six-door" super policeman who wants that thing
