The bank loaned 14 million to Xingyao Winery, and the Chengdu Brewery was officially mortgaged to the bank.
Although Chutianyao is a Chengdu brewery acquired with debt, Xingyao Liquor Industry owns 100% ownership of the Chengdu brewery, so even if the company is already in debt, the bank will not reject the project if the assessed risk has not exceeded the standard.
of a loan.
Furthermore, it is no joke that Xingyao Liquor was selected into the 8+5 project plan, and the provincial government’s support for the selected companies is not small.
If Xingyao Liquor Company declares bankruptcy as soon as the front foot is selected, the boss will lose face.
Fourteen million!
That’s not much to say. The combined net profit of Xingyao Liquor in February and March was only this amount, but for the factory now, it is a life-saving money.
Fang City, the headquarters of Lanjian Group.
Guo Yiming looked at Wang Fan, the purchasing manager in front of him, and couldn't help but slap the table and get angry.
"The production of the next quarter is about to start. Now you are telling me that there is a problem with the raw materials? How do you, the manager of the purchasing department, do it?"
Faced with Guo Yiming's questioning, Wang Fan also looked aggrieved.
"Mr. Guo, currently our hop raw materials are mainly sourced from Western Xinjiang, but the people I sent replied that more than 70% of the hops in Western Xinjiang this year seem to have been sold out, and the rest have been given to local breweries.
After the acquisition, we were a step too late."
Wang Fan opened his mouth to explain, but he couldn't help but be confused in his words.
The amount of hops in Xijiang has always been enough to supply several large factories in the southwest, but why did it suddenly disappear this time?
"You mean, someone is up to something?"
Guo Yiming is also keenly aware of the problem.
"There are only local hop growers in Sichuan Province. It doesn't matter if we can purchase them from Sichuan Province nearby, even if the price is higher."
Guo Yiming thought for a while and said again.
Hearing this, Wang Fan just shook his head.
"The scale of hop cultivation in the province is too small. Now that various companies are buying it up, I'm afraid they won't be able to solve the problem."
There are also hop planting areas in Sichuan Province, but compared to Western Xinjiang, the scale of hop planting in Sichuan Province is too small. At best, it can only satisfy the needs of small breweries in counties.
In fact, not only Sichuan Province, but also places in the north including Long Province, Ningxia and other places have hop planting areas, but the planting scale in these places is not large, and they are often divided up by a few large factories in the north.
Only Western Xinjiang has more than 70% of the country’s hops.
"How long do we have enough raw materials to last?"
Guo Yiming frowned and was silent for a moment, then finally asked again.
Wang Fan blurted out: "We can hold on until the end of June at most, which is one month. We must prepare the production raw materials for the next quarter in advance."
"I don't care what you think of, the raw material problem must be solved within a month."
Hearing this sentence, Guo Yiming's face suddenly became even more ugly.
The problem of raw materials cannot be solved, and the first thing affected is production. This is unacceptable to Lan Jian, especially at this juncture. Once June enters, it will be the real peak sales season.
…
at the same time.
Also furious like Guo Yiming was Huang Mingui, the general manager of Shancheng Beer.
"What's going on? The hop suppliers in the province are also out of stock?"
Huang Mingui looked at the person in charge of the purchasing department in front of him, his face ashen.
Production was about to start for the next quarter, but at this moment, there was a problem with the procurement of raw materials, which made him not annoyed.
"Please tell me clearly what is going on."
Huang Mingui unbuttoned the collar of his shirt and sat down angrily.
"Mr. Huang, since the hop raw materials in Xijiang were suddenly out of stock a week ago, the inventory of hop suppliers in the province has also been bought up by various breweries. Not to mention the price has increased several times, and even thought
It’s all out of stock.”
As soon as he sat down, before he could sit firmly, Huang Mingui's expression suddenly changed when he heard these words.
Years of business experience told him that there was probably something weird about this matter.
The supply of hops in Xijiang has always been stable every quarter, and there is even prosperity. But why did the supply of hops in the entire Xijiang suddenly run out overnight?
When I say this, no one can believe it.
"How long can our inventory last?"
Huang Mingui asked directly.
"A month at most!"
The person in charge of the purchasing department reported a number with some anxiety. In fact, with the arrival of the peak season, if they put all their energy into production, their hop inventory can only last for twenty days at most.
"Let someone find out what is going on? Production for the next quarter will start soon, and there must be no problems at this time."
Huang Mingui said with a gloomy look: "Do you know that there is already a gap in the liquidity in our accounts. If there is another production problem, the impact on the entire company will be fatal."
The proportion of advance payments continues to decrease. Although the company's sales are soaring, for large companies like Shancheng and Lanjian, the 20% advance payment cannot cover the production costs. In the past two months, they have completely spent
The family is struggling to hold on.
If there is a problem with production, what they will face next is not just a funding gap.
As June approaches, all beer companies are gearing up to prepare for the upcoming peak season.
But almost all breweries in the Southwest had problems at this time.
Production raw materials are out of stock!
Even leading companies like Lanjian and Shancheng only have less than a month of raw material inventory left, let alone those second- and third-tier small and medium-sized breweries.
Even many small breweries have completely run out of hop stocks.
There is a shortage of raw materials, and the problem they have to face is that the production line is stagnant. At this juncture, if the production line is stopped, it is equivalent to giving up the market this year.
In the fast-moving consumer goods industry, not making money for a year is likely to mean that the underlying company is about to go bankrupt.
The most direct victims of reducing the prepayment ratio are these midstream and downstream companies. Once there is a problem with funds, they will inevitably face debt collection from dealers.
As the saying goes, the boss is the one who pays back the money.
The dealer's money has long been used to stock up on large quantities of goods, so where can they find the money to pay the full 80% advance payment?
As a result, they will inevitably fall into a long debt collection lawsuit. For these companies, without follow-up financial support and missing the upcoming peak season market, they are not far from bankruptcy.
At the end of May 1995, beer production companies throughout the southwest faced a raw material panic.
Countless people are looking for who monopolized the hop raw materials in the entire Western Xinjiang overnight.
