Li Mo took one breath and sold the high-end wine in the wine cabinet at a discounted price.
Of course, these wines are not included in the lottery because there is no inventory. Therefore, these products are sold one by one and it is difficult to replenish them. Some of them will definitely not be replenished.
I got a bottle of 1982 Lafite from this age. You know, it’s 1978 now...
It is impossible to have this kind of wine now. Fortunately, Li Mo has already torn off the label of this collector's edition wine.
This bottle of wine was originally meant for collection and was not intended to be drunk at all.
But the problem is that now in order to make a living, Li Mo can only sell the wine.
This is also to attract customers.
At this time, many people in the banquet hall of the heavy-duty factory were anxious. Because there was no wine at all, and domestic wine was really not good.
"I told the factory director, otherwise we won't make wine, and we'll just make some shochu or something like that. Foreigners have never tasted it, so we'll just treat it as a taster."
"There is a problem with what you said. People want to increase our domestic wine production by name. Is it as simple as drinking wine? They are challenging us. They obviously mean that we don't have good wine. Can't you see
Come out?"
"Oh my God, I really didn't expect this. These foreigners are really very cunning."
When the deputy director heard what the director said, he couldn't help but sigh, otherwise he could be the director of the factory.
But if I am not good enough, if I do not handle this matter well, I will lose face. Not to mention whether I can become the director of the factory, whether I can keep my job is another matter.
"If that's the case, then we need to prepare this wine even more. I don't know if Master Zhou can find it."
"Director, deputy director! I found the wine, I found it! Master Zhou and Xiao Liu are back together."
I heard that Master Zhou was back. Master Zhou and Xiao Liu brought the wine back on a tricycle. Many workers followed excitedly to unload the truck.
Factory director Guan Jun rushed out with excitement. After he ran out, he asked excitedly: "Old Zhou, where did you get this wine?"
"Oh! I got this wine from Labor Department Store, and I charged a lot of money, but they said that if the foreign guests don't like it, they will refund double the money for this wine."
Guan Jun came over in surprise. He picked up the wine bottle carefully. There was a label on it, which said red wine, white wine, champagne, brandy, etc.
Guan Jun asked in surprise: "Aren't these all labeled goods?"
"Yes, and they are also imported. The person at the counter told me that it is, otherwise he would not be able to sell it directly to me. He said that this bottle of wine would cost tens of thousands abroad! But selling it
Give it to me, it’s only three hundred yuan. Say it’s to support us.”
"Oh!" General Guan Jun looked at this bottle of unbranded wine with suspicion. No one knew the quality of this wine.
But the problem is that this wine cannot be opened casually. You must drink it as soon as possible after opening the bottle.
Yao Junfeng, the only deputy director in the factory who has been abroad for inspection, quickly asked: "Have you ever asked what the name of this wine is?"
"It's called Lafite!"
"Oh my God! This is the famous foreign wine Lafite?! Director, if this thing is real, it will be really valuable!"
"This thing is so expensive? This bottle of wine costs tens of thousands of yuan? Is it crazy?"
Guan Jun couldn't understand why this crap could be so expensive.
"Then the problem is more serious now..."
Deputy Director Lu, who was talking to Guan Jun just now, said.
"Dayou, tell me, what's the problem?"
"If this wine is real
Yes, then we owe someone a big favor for their wine cabinet. This thing costs tens of thousands of dollars. And, how did they get here?"
Master Zhou hurriedly said: "Deputy factory director, the whole thing is a captured trophy. It was collected by someone else. It was seized from the enemy back then."
"Oh! This is a captured product! This may be true!"
When Guan Jun heard that it was a captured item, he immediately laughed.
Because there are basically no fakes seized, and those seized trophies are rarely fake.
"So these are all made in China? Have you asked where they are made?"
"It is said that the wine is produced in Shandong. This wine is the best in the country."
Guan Jun and several factory directors looked at each other. The master had no loopholes. Everyone knew that Ludong produced wine.
But Yao Junfeng is still worried.
"Didn't we try it? The wine bought by Lu Dong is not good. Will this labeled product be good?"
While everyone was still struggling, Guan Jun stamped his feet, sighed and said: "There is no choice, just put the wine on the table!"
Now that the factory director has spoken, everyone has nothing to say. They can only unload the wine into the truck and deliver it to the venue.
Everyone is unsure about these labeled wines.
When the banquet was approaching, Guan Jun's heart almost rose to his throat.
When the foreign guests appeared at the venue, William found that all the wine glasses were empty. He was curious.
Then I asked a few questions to the translator, who hurried over and asked, "Director Guan, Mr. William would like to ask why there was no wine at the banquet?"
"This...this is because...this..."
To be honest, Guan Jun really doesn't want to serve wine. If he makes a fool of himself here again, he will be responsible.
But if you don't take it out, you will look stingy and the reception will not be good, and you will still be reprimanded.
Guan Jun is in a dilemma.
"Oh! Get ready right now...that Xiao Chen, and Xiao Li. You guys..."
When Guan Jun said this, he suddenly rolled his eyes and continued: "Comrade translator, please tell Mr. William that we are planning to surprise Mr. William. We have a bottle of very precious wine here. I want to pay for it first for the banquet."
Mr. William, give it a try."
"Oh! It's a surprise! Well, I'll tell Mr. William right now."
Guan Jun said this because he planned to open the bottle of loot.
No matter what, this trophy is still very reliable.
As soon as the bottle of 1982 Lafite was opened, William was stunned. He stared at the bottle and asked, "What kind of wine is this?"
"This wine is called Lafite."
"Lafite? What year is this wine from? Why haven't I drunk it?" William asked, pointing to the bottle.
The translator hurriedly asked this side, and Guan Jun whispered: "The trophy, how do I know what year it is from?"
"Oh, Mr. William, this is a collection. It was obtained from the battlefield. I don't know what year it was from."
William looked at the bottle of wine in surprise and said, "Is this a trophy? I really didn't expect that I could also drink the winner's wine. Can I have a taste?"
"sure!"
The translator hurriedly asked the waiter to pour the wine, but William did not ask the waiter to pour the wine, but poured the wine himself excitedly.
When pouring the wine, William was careful. After he filled the wine, he drank it very carefully.
"Oh My God!"
As a sip of wine flowed into his throat, William shed tears of excitement.
This foreigner actually cried?
"What kind of wine is this? Why is it so good?"
"I've had Lafite before, and no vintage tastes like this."
"Mr. Factory Director, can I collect this bottle of wine? I am willing to pay US$30,000!"
Thirty thousand dollars?
Everyone was stunned, knowing that foreigners' money was valuable.
But everyone has no idea. But the problem is that thirty thousand dollars... Even thirty thousand dollars is not a small amount!
"How much is thirty thousand dollars?"
"More than fifty thousand yuan, right?"
"Fifty thousand?!" Everyone was confused. No one dared to speak. No one dared to take a breath.
Yao Junfeng coughed, and William hurriedly raised five fingers and shouted: "Fifty thousand! I'll pay fifty thousand dollars!"
Silence, fifty thousand dollars?
The foreign exchange rate in that era was a fixed exchange rate, and the Chinese currency to the U.S. dollar was 1:1.684.
It was not until 1981 that China implemented a compound exchange rate. At that time, the foreign exchange market price was calculated based on the weighted average of a basket of currencies.
From 1981 to 1984, the official price and the internal trade settlement price coexisted, and the official price was the main one.
Then on January 1, 1985, there were new regulations on foreign exchange management.
The first was to cancel the internal trade settlement price and re-implement a single exchange rate. In that era, one U.S. dollar was equivalent to 2.7963 yuan. By July 5, 1986, the foreign exchange market had increased from 1 U.S. dollar to 3.1983 yuan to 1 U.S. dollar to 3.7036 yuan.
After December 26, 1989, the exchange rate was adjusted from 3.7036 yuan per US dollar to 4.7221 yuan per US dollar.
Less than a year later, in November 1990.
The market adjusted from 1 US dollar to 4.7221 yuan to 1 US dollar to 5.2221 yuan. At that time, the depreciation had a huge impact on the macroeconomic operation.
To this end, the country began a major reform of the exchange rate system on January 1, 1994, and implemented a managed floating exchange rate system. The RMB was consolidated to 8.70 yuan per U.S. dollar in one step, and the country's foreign exchange reserves increased significantly.
However, after the reform, severe inflation and massive capital inflows occurred from 1994 to 1996. During the same period, there was the Asian financial crisis, and the country was under tremendous economic pressure.
Therefore, in 1978, when comparing the U.S. dollar and the Chinese currency, money was not that valuable. But even so, fifty thousand U.S. dollars was equivalent to more than 80,000 yuan in domestic currency.
This amount of money was absolutely astronomical for anyone in that era.
"What? Do you need to add more?"
"No, no, we are just shocked." Guan Jun replied excitedly.
Okay, let's do a deal of $50,000, and I'll call you the money.
The inflow of foreign exchange of US$50,000 is definitely a very big achievement for the factory.
This can be regarded as a huge achievement in receiving foreign guests.
So the bottle of wine was left undrinked, and the cork was found to continue sealing it. William's entourage went to deal with the matter, but a more serious problem arose next.
Do you want to open the wine below...
"Oh, by the way. Director? When will the domestic wine you prepared be released?"
