Hearing what the worker said, Qin Yu frowned slightly. How could the matter of a few jars of wine alarm CCTV reporters? It was really impossible to say that there was nothing fishy about it.
"Yes, once the CCTV report came out, many shareholders wanted to withdraw their shares, saying that this was a fraudulent operation by the factory director. They, the shareholders, have the right to withdraw their shares. A shareholders' meeting is currently being held in the factory director's conference room. If it wasn't the biggest
If the shareholders don’t support them, the factory director will be forced to step down.”
"From what you said, it seems that I respect your factory director very much?" Qin Yu asked with a smile.
"The one I admire all my life is our factory director. Not only me, but also many workers in the factory. The old factory director of our factory is the father of the current factory director. They and their sons have devoted their lives to the winery and really hope
The winery must become a big one, and we believe that the director is a person who will never do anything to taint fake water. Someone must have framed him."
"Master, I heard that the wine in your factory is no worse than Moutai. If the father and son in the factory were really capable, I'm afraid the winery wouldn't be in this situation, right?"
Qin Yu is actually not very fond of family-managed businesses. Even if the factory director is really dedicated to the winery, the winery began to decline under his hands. This is an indisputable fact. From this point of view, the factory director
He is not very competent at what he does.
This is like some old comrades who reached retirement age in the 1990s. In their hearts, they wanted to contribute more to the country and do more, and were unwilling to leave their posts. But in fact, their thinking could no longer keep up.
Social development and transformation, occupying a position, will only hinder development.
His intentions are commendable, but his behavior is not worthy of promotion.
"How can you blame our factory director? Who knew that the wine fountain would suddenly dry up." The master worker's face suddenly dropped when he heard Qin Yu's words, "You should leave quickly, strangers are not allowed in the factory.
"
Qin Yu had a helpless expression on his face. He didn't expect that the worker master was so protective of the factory director. He just said something casually and was about to be kicked out.
"Master, I just said something wrong. Don't worry, can you take us to Jiuquan?" Qin Yu quickly changed his words.
"That won't work. Jiuquan is the most important place in our winery. You should really leave quickly. There is nothing interesting to see in our factory." The master worker shook his head and rejected Qin Yu's request.
"Master, I won't hide it from you. In fact, I am the largest shareholder of the winery. I came here this time to have a look at our winery."
Qin Yu glanced at Tank, who took out a contract document from his briefcase, and Qin Yu glanced at the worker.
"Are you the mysterious big boss?" The master worker's expression became surprised when he saw the 50% share of Quhe Winery written in the contract. He turned back and forth on Qin Yu and began to feel a little at a loss.
He kept rubbing it on his clothes.
"Master, don't be nervous. I just want to know about the production situation of our winery, where is this wine spring, and why does it have anything to do with the quality of the wine?"
Qin Yu had a pleasant smile on his face, patted the worker's shoulder and comforted him softly.
"Oh, boss, come with me." The attitude of the worker is still a bit reserved. This is because the winery is about to close down now. He is not as afraid as before, otherwise his attitude may be even worse.
"Jiuquan is the foundation of our distillery. When the old factory director and Moutai separated, they started their business based on Jiuquan. Jiuquan is actually a large well, but the water temperature inside is relatively high. In the past, our grain had to be distilled before distillation.
Soak it in a wine spring for three days, and the wine brewed will be very fragrant and sweet. I heard the old factory director say that there are also such wine springs in Maotai, but there are three there, and we only have one here."
"After the grain is soaked in the wine spring, the wine brewed will be very fragrant?" Qin Yu was stunned. There was such a magical spring water, so he really had to take a look.
"Lao Wu, what are you doing here? Who are these?"
Qin Yu and the others followed the master worker through several workshops, and finally appeared in front of a courtyard made of wood and bamboo. There was also a master worker at the door. Seeing Qin Yu and the others, they looked towards Qin Yu with some doubts.
Master Lao Wu who came over asked.
"The factory director asked me to take them to visit Jiuquan. This is Boss Qin who came from out of town and wants to sign a contract with our company." Lao Wu followed Qin Yu's previous instructions and said not to reveal his identity as a shareholder yet.
"It's all dried up, what else is there to see?" The worker looked at Qin Yu curiously. There were not many people who came to discuss business with women and children. If it had been before, he would have definitely wanted to
I called the factory director to ask, but now, the wine spring has dried up, and there is no need to protect it.
"Boss Qin, that big well is Jiuquan."
When they walked into the courtyard of the bamboo house, Qin Yu and others first saw the five-meter-diameter round well in the middle of the courtyard. After hearing Master Lao Wu's words, several people walked towards the well curiously.
As Master Lao Wu said, this round well is really dry. It is more than ten meters deep. At a glance, you can see that there is only one to one foot of water left at the bottom of the well, and some rocks have been stranded.
"When the Jiuquan was good in the past, the water was only two meters away from the ground. Moreover, every time after soaking the grain, the grain troughs and some sorghum rice husks floating on the water would disappear the next day.
The well water became very clear again.”
Master Lao Wu looked yearning at the side and explained to Qin Yu and others that this wine spring was the foundation of their Quhe winery. There were about a dozen masters guarding the small building in shifts. In addition to the workers who transported food and the factory
Senior management inside, no one else is allowed in.
"When did this well dry up?"
When Qin Yu saw the bottom of the well for the first time, a light flashed in his eyes, and there was a look of shock on his face. However, because he was face down at the time, others did not notice anything unusual about him. When Qin Yu
When Yu raised his head to ask Master Lao Wu, his expression had returned to its original state, and there was nothing unusual about him.
"It has been depleted for several years. Our factory director also tried his best to send people down to the bottom of the well to check, and even dug more than one meter down. However, the water in the well seemed to have been suddenly drained.
It never pops up again, just a little bit dripping from the cracks between the stones on both sides every day, just this foot of well water, which is the result of several years."
"Okay, I understand, now take me to see your factory director."
Qin Yu said nothing. His peripheral vision glanced at Xiao Jiu who was staring at the bottom of the well with gleaming eyes. He seemed to want to jump down. Qin Yu hugged Xiao Jiu calmly.
In his arms, the little guy rolled his eyes at Qin Yu in displeasure. When he left the yard, his big eyes were still staring eagerly at the round well. That look was like a child looking at delicious candies.
.
"The factory director is holding a meeting with the shareholders above now."
Master Lao Wu took Qin Yu and others back to the building at the entrance of the factory. Compared with the desertedness of other workshops, the place was bustling with people. Even in the lobby on the ground floor, there were many workers standing there talking to each other.
They were discussing something. Qin Yu just glanced at these workers, then followed Master Lao Wu towards the stairs and went directly to the third floor.
"Didn't I tell you to wait below? Once the factory director and shareholders have discussed it, they will pay you your wages. Why are you coming up here?"
As soon as they arrived on the third floor, they met a man wearing a shirt. When he saw Master Lao Wu's work clothes, his expression dropped. He came over and urged Qin Yu and others to get down.
"Minister Dong, I'm not here to ask for salary, but..."
"Hello, Minister Dong, I am a wine businessman from other places. I have heard of the name of our Quhe Winery, so I came here specifically to discuss cooperation with your factory director."
Qin Yu stepped forward and stood in front of Master Lao Wu. He interrupted Master Lao Wu's words and looked at the man in the shirt with a smile.
"Discussing business?" The man in the shirt looked back and forth at Qin Yu with a scrutinizing gaze, and finally placed it on the tank behind Qin Yu and the Jiang Tingting siblings. I had never seen someone discussing business with his family.
"Huairen, we just arrived today and came to your factory as soon as we got off the car. Is your factory director here now?" Qin Yu saw the distrust of the man in the shirt and explained.
"So that's it. Our factory director is currently convening a shareholders' meeting to make new arrangements for the future development plan of our factory. If you want to discuss business, then go to the living room and wait for a while."
Hearing the words of the man in the shirt, Jiang Tingting couldn't help laughing out loud, and then she quickly covered her mouth with her little hands. When she saw everyone looking at her, her little face suddenly turned crimson and she was extremely embarrassed.
The reason why she laughed out loud was because the man in the shirt was so good at telling lies with his eyes open. The gathering of so many workers below already showed that there was a problem in the factory, and Master Lao Wu had also confessed to them.
, these shareholders came here to withdraw their shares, and what are their future development plans?
"We have already said that the winery is no longer viable. If we continue to operate it, we will only lose all our money. The purchase price offered by Maotai is not low, so if we sell the winery, we can still get some money back.
Look at the workers down there, the factory can’t even pay them wages, how can they continue to operate?”
"It is impossible to sell this winery. Even if it goes bankrupt, I will not sell it. You should give up this intention as soon as possible."
"No, do you think this winery belongs to you alone? Do you think this winery belongs to your family? All the shareholders we have present today occupy 28% of the shares in the factory. The mysterious major shareholder
It’s been a few years since you’ve appeared. According to the law, we have the right to handle matters in the factory and remove you as the factory director.”
PS: Today’s update is late. There are a lot of things to think about before starting the new plot. I’m sorry. (To be continued)
