1987: Sleepless Tonight

Yellow rice wine, also known as Laojiu and Shaojiu, is not only used for drinking, but also used as medicine in traditional Chinese medicine. In cooking, it can also remove fishy smell, deodorize and enhance fragrance. It has a wide range of uses.

The price is not expensive.

The retail price is 5 cents a catty, and the ex-factory price is just over 3 cents.

"Boss Lu really knows everything. Since you dislike rice wine, I'll change it to Moutai." Hong Erquan's flesh hurts.

A bottle of Moutai 135, let alone no debts, even before debts, he was reluctant to part with it. He originally thought that there were few people drinking rice wine in Jiangcheng, so he could replace Moutai with rice wine, but he didn't expect that Lu Hao knew rice wine very well.

"Okay, I'm not here to drink, rice wine is rice wine." Lu Hao waved his hand, "If you have anything to say, speak up quickly, I'm very busy."

Drinking is not the purpose, and eating is not the purpose. Leaving the canteen to Hong Erquan and making him think he got a big deal is the purpose.

"Boss Lu is still considerate. He knows that I have no money right now, and I don't mind drinking rice wine." Hong Erquan flattered Lu Hao.

He picked up the wine glass and drank three glasses first, "These three glasses of wine are thanks to Lao Su, thank you Lao Su for not forgetting the past."

Then, he poured the wine again and raised it up to Lu Hao, "Boss Lu, because I was jealous of your good business and the money you made, I instigated Factory Manager Xu to stop your four production lines. I did something wrong. I apologize to you."

He drank three more glasses of rice wine.

Lu Hao took a sip of the rice wine lightly.

Yellow rice wine is cheap, but it is called liquid cake. This kind of wine can improve the intestines, nourish the blood and nourish the skin, and strengthen the body. It is actually quite good to drink once in a while.

Seeing that Lu Hao was silent, Hong Erquan continued, "Now the retribution has come to me. The oral solution is completely finished, and the factory lost money. The money invested by me, Wang Lixing, and Zhang Mingyi has also been drained." Piao, we have also borrowed a lot of foreign debts, if there is no good way, I am afraid that there will be no days to raise our heads in this life, we have to pay off the debts all the time, and we will be scolded by relatives and friends, and we will be ashamed to see them."

"What's the use of telling me these things? I can't lend you money." Lu Hao said deliberately, "In business, and it's still in the food and beverage industry, we should have paid more attention to safety and hygiene issues. Back then, Factory Manager Wang and I They are all opposed to making health care products in such a hurry, you will end up like this if you don't listen."

"Yes, this is my problem. I was too anxious. I was afraid that someone would follow suit and make health care products. If it was too late, it would affect making a lot of money. It's also my fault that I believed others' words too easily. The old Chinese doctor said that the formula was passed down from generation to generation, and several generations of the family have saved many lives with that formula, and I took his word for it, so I believed him." Hong Erquan said.

He looked at Lu Hao, "I don't ask you to borrow money, I just ask Boss Lu to give me a way out and let me pay back all the money I owe. It's okay for me to lose my own money. I deserve it, but those My relatives and friends trust me, so they are willing to lend me money. Their family is not rich, and I thought that I would return the money to them immediately after the oral liquid made money, but now this is impossible.”

"I'm embarrassed to say hello to them now, and I'm even more embarrassed to go to their door. It's not that I'm afraid of being urged by them to ask for money. It's that I really don't have that face, which makes them nervous. If I can pay back their money, I will Satisfied."

These words of Hong Erquan are not lies, on the contrary, most of them are true.

Those who lent him money were all on good terms on weekdays, ranging from a few dozen to a few hundred, but now the money has not been repaid, and he is very anxious.

Repaying debts is a matter of course. If others are willing to lend you money, it means trusting you, treating you as a relative, and treating you as a friend.

Even though Hong Erquan made a lot of money in the position of deputy director of the beverage factory, but in terms of repaying debts, he is like most people in this era. .

"You want me to leave a mouthful of soup for you when I eat meat, so that you can pay back the debt you owe?" Lu Hao asked.

"Yes, if this is the case, I, Hong Erquan, will only follow your lead in the future. I will never have other ideas. I will do whatever you ask me to do." Hong Erquan looked at Lu Hao expectantly.

"I'm afraid it's a bit difficult." Lu Hao said, "I am determined to win the beverage factory. I won't let other people intervene, and I don't like to do business with other people. I'm afraid you won't be able to drink this soup."

He deliberately said this in order to induce Hong Erquan's request to the cafeteria, and finally follow the trend.

"Boss Lu, you have misunderstood me. I am not going to run a beverage factory in partnership with you. How can I have the ability to do business with you, Boss Lu?" Are there canteens and kindergartens? You take over the workshops and production lines, and give me the canteens and kindergartens."

"How can this work?!" Lu Hao reacted fiercely, "The cafeteria is a benefit for the employees. Let the employees have a place where they can eat conveniently. How can they sell it? If the employees know about this, don't you scold me?"

"The kindergarten is for workers who have children but have no time to take care of them. There is a place where they can take care of their children so that they can work with peace of mind. It is integrated with the workshop and production line. How can it be separated?"

He said righteously, "Mostly I will take over the Hongyuan Beverage Factory, and I am willing to take over, but making money is second. The main reason is that during the process of contracting the sales of soft drinks on the production line, I developed a deep relationship with the employees in the factory. Things that harm their interests must not be done."

Su Xingmin on the side looked at the second uncle who was talking eloquently. He knew Lu Hao's plan. When he saw Lu Hao saying these words, his face didn't change, and it was just like what he said. A few words popped out in his heart: little fox !

Hearing what Lu Hao said, Hong Erquan's face turned ashen.

If Lu Hao didn't give him this chance, he really wouldn't be able to turn over.

But at this moment, Lu Hao said again, "And even if I agree to this matter, what about the light industry system? They will definitely not agree."

"Factory units go bankrupt, and if they are merged, they have to take over with debts, employees and other issues. The interests of employees must be taken into account. If I don't take over the canteen, but transfer the canteen, there may be some problems in the process of taking over the beverage factory. Unexpectedly, so deputy factory manager Hong, it's not that I refuse to help, I refuse to give you a sip of soup, it's just that subjective and objective conditions don't allow it."

The latter is actually not that serious. The biggest problem of Hongyuan Beverage Factory at present is that it is in debt, and there are no products that can be sold, and it has lost profitability.

Factories are facing closure and workers are facing layoffs.

As long as the problem of laid-off workers is solved, canteens and kindergartens are actually small problems, and they will make concessions.

The placement of workers is the most important issue.

"Boss Lu, transfer the cafeteria to me. I'll tell Director Xu about this matter. As long as you agree, he will definitely agree." Hong Erquan said, "He is responsible for the oral liquid, but this issue must be resolved." You can still say something, and what’s more, if the cafeteria is given to me, the workers’ food problems can also be solved, they eat in the cafeteria as usual, and the factory will give me money, and I will buy ingredients for cooking.”
