Mr. Yan sat in Yao Guoliang's office for a while, took a sip of tea, and suddenly spoke.
"This..." Yao Guoliang's expression was a little hesitant. Jiuquan returned to normal things. He also wanted to keep the secret first so that no one else would know.
"What? I can't go see it?"
"Of course not. If Mr. Yan wants to see it, I will take Mr. Yan there right away." Yao Guoliang hurriedly agreed. Others will still know about the recovery of the Jiuquan water in the future.
Old age is not worth it.
When Mr. Yan heard this, his serious expression disappeared, and he kept the previous smile on his face. He stood up, and under the leadership of Yao Guoliang, he left the office building and walked towards the bamboo building, walking at the back.
However, the corners of Qin Yu's mouth turned up slightly. Sure enough, Zui Wen was not interested in drinking, but came for the wine fountain.
"Fortunately, I made some preparations in advance..."
Today's bamboo building is different from the crowds when Qin Yu arrived yesterday. Today, there are four or five winery workers standing guard at the door of the bamboo building, including Master Lao Wu who brought Qin Yu here yesterday.
When Qin Yu and others arrived at the Bamboo Building, Minister Wang just walked out of the main building. After greeting Yao Guoliang and Mr. Yan, Minister Wang retreated to Qin Yu's side and nodded slightly towards Qin Yu.
"Guoliang, I heard that there is something wrong with your wine spring? Has the water dried up?" Mr. Yan suddenly stopped before stepping into the bamboo building and said, "Hey, it's also my fault for my poor health in the past few years.
To manage the affairs of our industry, I only found out about it when Qiu Han told me about it yesterday, so I came here specially to see if I can help you find out the reason why the wine spring is drying up."
"Thank you, Mr. Yan, for letting you worry about Guoliang." Yao Guoliang was really moved, and his expression was a little excited. He didn't expect Mr. Yan to care about him so much.
However, Qin Yu, who was standing behind Yao Guoliang, curled his lips in disdain. The authorities were confused, but the bystanders were clear. Yao Guoliang couldn't tell whether this was true or not, but Qin Yu was sure it was a lie.
Qin Yu was not sure whether Mr. Yan would care about the operating conditions of Quhe Winery, but Qin Yu was certain that the other party in Jiuquan must be paying close attention to it, and it was impossible for him to ignore it for several years.
"But Mr. Yan, Jiuquan has returned to normal recently, and spring water has appeared again." Yao Guoliang said it directly this time before Mr. Yan went in to take a look, but he finally remembered Qin Yu's previous explanation to him,
Don't preach to the outside world that it is his fault that the Jiuquan returned to normal. Just tell the outside world that it suddenly recovered on its own.
"A spring has appeared again? That's great." When Mr. Yan heard what Yao Guoliang said, a light flashed in his eyes, while Zhang Hanqiu and several people from the Maotai factory on the side also looked at each other and exchanged words.
There was no trace of surprise in their eyes.
Such an uncharacteristic expression for hearing the news for the first time would have been the most suspicious, but Yao Guoliang didn't notice it at all at this time. He was still immersed in gratitude because of Mr. Yan's previous words.
among.
"Come on, let's go in and take a look." Mr. Yan's footsteps became a little hurried, and his speed unconsciously increased a little faster than when he walked before. It was already a little trot, but Yao Guoliang just thought it was Mr. Yan's curiosity.
Just sincere.
However, when Yao Guoliang followed Mr. Yan to the Jiuquan, his expression became a little strange. Dozens of bundles of nylon rope knots were hung on the edge of the Jiuquan. When he lowered his head and looked under the Jiuquan, he found this
The underground well was full of grain bags, and the spring water was blocked by the grain bags floating on top. No trace of the scene below could be seen at all.
The reason why Yao Guoliang's expression became strange was because the spring water appeared again last night. He did not instruct the workers below to put down the grain in such a hurry to soak it. How did these grain bags appear in the spring?
?
"Sure enough, he has recovered." Mr. Yan looked at the grain bags floating on the spring water, the light in his eyes kept flickering. After a long time, he raised his head, looked at Yao Guoliang, and asked: "Guoliang, when did this Jiuquan return to normal?
Woolen cloth?"
"Just yesterday." Yao Guoliang replied truthfully.
"Then how did this Jiuquan recover? Are there any signs?"
"This..." Yao Guoliang paused for a moment, glanced at Qin Yu, and said: "No, it just happened suddenly. The workers found out and informed me. When I rushed over, this Jiuquan
The spring water has returned to its original height."
"Is that so?" Mr. Yan looked at Yao Guoliang with deep meaning. Yao Guoliang forced a smile on his face to cover up his guilt. Although Mr. Yan's eyes were very dull, it seemed that he could see the true feelings in his heart.
The same thought made him feel uncomfortable all over.
"Okay, you're recovering well." Mr. Yan said with a complicated expression without looking at Yao Guoliang.
"Peng!"
An explosion suddenly sounded, shocking everyone present. Looking in the direction of the sound, everyone's expressions became horrified. The crutch that Mr. Yan was holding broke into two pieces, and the explosion,
It was caused by the broken crutch.
"Old Yan!"
Everyone, including those from Maotai, looked at Mr. Yan with shocked eyes, wondering how the perfectly good crutches could suddenly break.
"It's okay, maybe it's because I've been using the crutches for a long time."
Mr. Yan shook his head and turned his gaze to Qin Yu. He looked at Qin Yu quietly, but Qin Yu looked back without fear. Their eyes met like this.
This time, even Yao Guoliang noticed something was wrong. There was obviously something going on between Mr. Yan and Mr. Qin that they didn't know about.
"I've been guarding something for nearly fifty years. Fellow Taoist, you just stepped in and took it away. Isn't it too unethical?"
Mr. Yan's eyes became very cold in an instant. Yao Guoliang and Zhang Qiuhan, who were closest to him, felt a chill, and this chill was what Mr. Yan brought to them.
"Mr. Yan, is there any misunderstanding? Mr. Qin just brought it to Huairen yesterday, how could he take your old things?" Yao Guoliang hurriedly explained.
"Although you hide it well, you still can't escape my eyes. The recovery of this wine spring must have something to do with you. Moreover, since the spring water has been restored, I think the mirror below was broken by you, and that thing was also broken by you.
You got it."
Mr. Yan ignored Yao Guoliang's words at all and still stared at Qin Yu with sharp eyes. After Zhang Qiuhan and others were surprised at the beginning, their expressions became a little gloating. Mr. Yan suddenly targeted Quhe Winery.
This mysterious young shareholder is a good thing for them.
You should know that although Mr. Yan is a consultant to the Moutai Distillery, he actually does not interfere much with the affairs of the Moutai Distillery and does not care about the operation of the Moutai Distillery. He has lived in a bamboo building for decades. No matter what he does during the day, he will return to it at night.
The restaurant, I haven’t left the restaurant for a single night in so many years.
In fact, the only time that Mr. Yan intervened in the affairs of the distillery was when he asked them to acquire the Quhe Distillery not long ago. The reason why Zhang Hanqiu and others agreed was because Mr. Yan was very important to the Moutai Distillery.
In fact, earlier than Quhe Distillery, the three wine springs of Maotai Distillery had dried up. It was Mr. Yan who took action to solve the problem at that time, so Zhang Hanqiu and others would buy Quhe Distillery.
It was because of Mr. Yan's request. Another point was that it was acquired and Mr. Yan took action to solve the problem in Jiuquan. The acquisition was not a loss.
"I don't understand what Mr. Yan said." Qin Yu is not a person who has never seen the world. It is impossible to be framed by these few words of Mr. Yan. Qin Yu understands very well that Mr. Yan is not very sure either.
The essence of life was obtained by him, and it was obvious that Mr. Yan did not know how to capture the essence of life, otherwise he would not have guarded it for fifty years and let the essence of life exist under the Jiuquan.
Qin Yu judged that Mr. Yan should not be able to sense the essence of life, and now he was just lying to himself.
"Guoliang, Han Qiu seemed to have told you some time ago that he wanted to merge the Quhe Distillery into the Moutai Distillery. In fact, I also know about this matter and I agree with it. If you brothers and sisters work together, I believe that Moutai
The wine can definitely be taken to the next level.”
Mr. Yan kept staring at Qin Yu for a long time, as if he wanted to see whether Qin Yu's words were true or false, but in the end he was disappointed. This young man was more cunning than he thought, and the expression on his face did not change at all.
He couldn't see anything at all, so in the end he could only turn his gaze to Yao Guoliang and said.
"Mr. Yan, this... maybe I can't promise you." Yao Guoliang hesitated for a while and replied.
"What's wrong?" Mr. Yan glanced at Yao Guoliang strangely, and his expression suddenly darkened: "I can promise you Hanqiu that this distillery can still keep the name of Quhe Liquor, but it will just be affiliated with Moutai Distillery.
"
"Mr. Yan, now I am only the nominal director of Quhe Winery, and Quhe Winery really belongs to Mr. Qin. Mr. Qin now owns 80% of the shares of Quhe Winery, so, like this
I don’t have the right to make the decision on the issue.”
"80% of the shares?"
Mr. Yan looked at Qin Yu again, "Mr. Qin is so interested in Quhe Winery?"
"Xiao Ke is very interested in our domestic liquor culture, so he specially wanted to develop a kind of liquor by himself. It happened that the shareholders of Quhe Winery wanted to withdraw their shares, so I simply bought it in."
"What if I want Mr. Qin to transfer 80% of the shares to me?"
"That's probably not possible."
Qin Yu shook his head and refused, ignoring Mr. Yan's sharp eyes. What a joke. This Quhe Winery will become his most important income industry in the future. How could it be transferred to others?
"Mr. Qin may not be aware of our industry. Being in the liquor industry does not mean that you can just brew wine. Our industry relies more on contacts in the industry. If you are shunned by the industry, you will sell it even if you have wine."
Don’t go out.”
Zhang Hanqiu on the side said angrily, with a hint of threat in his words. (To be continued)
