Traveling through 70's wine

Section Chief Li said, "Xiao Zhuang, when will you come to handle the transfer formalities?"

Zhuang Xien thought for a moment and said, "Let's go to your place in three days."

Zhuang Xian was too embarrassed to ask Wen Qing to borrow money again because he had not yet repaid her the money he borrowed from her last time. After saying goodbye to Wen Qing, he immediately went to find Manager Xu of the hardware store with whom he had cooperated before. The two of them had become good friends.

Personal loans are slow now, but hardware stores have loan indicators and can apply for bank loans at any time.

Zhuang Xien came to him to discuss the loan. The hardware store went to the bank to borrow money and then lent it to Zhuang Xien. Later, Zhuang Xien returned the money to the hardware store, and the hardware store returned it to the bank.

Although this does not comply with bank regulations, many people who are unable to obtain loans do so.

Zhuang Xien gave Manager Xu 200 yuan as a handling fee. After the negotiation, the two went to a bank branch to complete the formalities.

He originally only wanted to borrow 5000 yuan, but now the Xunda store has not yet distributed dividends, so he simply borrowed 1 yuan to buy the house first. He also needed money to renovate it, and he could just pay it back if he didn't use the money.

Three days later, Zhuang Xien went to handle the transfer procedures and, as Wen Qing had instructed, gave Section Chief Li a handling fee of 200 yuan.

Zhuang Xien bought a house and immediately asked Wen Qing to go house viewing on the weekend. The three of them agreed to take turns to rest on weekends, and this week happened to be Zhuang Xien's day off.

When Wen Qing arrived, Zhuang Xien was already waiting for her at the gate of the yard.

Walking into the yard, there are three houses diagonally opposite the gate, which are about 80 square meters, and a yard of more than 30 square meters. The yard has been cleaned by Zhuang Xien and looks clean.

Wen Qing had experience in decorating courtyards, and said, "Brother Zhuang, your courtyard is quite good. Each of the three main rooms is more than 20 square meters, which is large enough, and the space is high enough, so it looks quite bright.

The foundation of the house is made of fine bluestone and is solid, but there is a problem: there is no kitchen or bathroom, so cooking and cleaning are difficult."

Zhuang Xien said, "How about building two houses in the yard?"

"No, the yard will look very narrow."

Wen Qing paused and continued, "You can convert the house into a two-story building, with three rooms downstairs, one for the guest room, one for the living room, and one for the front and back rooms, which can be used as the kitchen and bathroom respectively. In winter, you can use firewood in the kitchen and heat the bathroom."

She pointed at the house and said that the foundations would be dug at the four corners of the house, the load-bearing walls would be erected, and stairs would be built from outside the house. Three rooms would also be built on the second floor, with a corridor in front so that they would not interfere with each other. The bathroom and the master bedroom would be made into suites, and the water supply and drainage would be connected.

In winter, the stove in the kitchen can supply heat to the rooms above for heating. A fireplace in the living room downstairs can also provide heating for the guest bedrooms downstairs and the master bedroom upstairs.

This will make it into 3 bedrooms, 2 living rooms, 1 kitchen and 2 bathrooms, enough for a family.

Zhuang Xien thought this plan was good. Wen Qing gave him Master Hu's phone number and asked him to contact Master Hu himself.

In the afternoon, Zhuang Xien, Fang Yuan, Lin Qingyuan and Wen Qing worked together on the store's general ledger. Their two stores sold a total of more than 5000 bicycles and 2000 sets of transmissions, with a turnover of 150 million yuan and a net profit of 20.5 yuan. They took out 5000 yuan as year-end bonuses for the store employees and 5 yuan for each of the four shareholders. Lin Qingyuan went to the bank to withdraw 20 yuan in cash, which he divided into four parts and gave to the four shareholders.

Zhuang Xien and the other two paid back the money they borrowed from Wen Qing, and each of them still had about 4 yuan. Lin Qingyuan said, "We need to purchase more goods next year, so everyone should contribute 5000 yuan each. This is considered a loan from the store to shareholders, and it will be paid back at the end of next year."

After you write the IOU, the remaining money will be yours.

In the evening, everyone had a meal together. It was a way for Wen Qing, the hands-off shareholder, to express her consolation to the three managements. They found a mutton hotpot restaurant not far from the store. Zhuang Xien took out a bottle of wine, and Fang Yuan said, "Brother Zhuang, isn't this Sister Wen's wine?"

Wen Qing looked at the trademark and said, "It's Changxia Qingniang, 53% alcohol. Please give me some suggestions."

Lin Qingyuan picked up the wine glass, tasted it, and said, "Sister Wen, this wine is good, better than the last time I drank it."

This is a light-fragrant liquor produced by the winery's improved process, and it tastes sweet.

Wen Qing said: "During the summer vacation, I went out to learn winemaking. After I came back, I optimized our winemaking process. Now the base wine of Changxia Qingniang is all aged for more than three years, and the taste is more mellow."

Wen Qing talked about her experiences this year. When she mentioned car repair, everyone listened with great interest. When they heard that Wen Qing had already obtained a driver's license, they were even more envious.

Zhuang Xien and the others also talked about the Xunda store business. Everyone was surprised that they made 20 yuan a year, but they were also very proud.

Fang Yuan said: "My mother said that I never do any work and insisted that I find a formal job. Look, which factory can pay so much money in a year?"

When Zhuang Xien mentioned the future development direction of the store, everyone thought that repairing cars was not profitable and they still had to sell cars.

Lin Qingyuan said, "I heard that a bicycle factory in Jizhong City can no longer operate and is looking for someone to take over. Brother Zhuang, do you think we can take it over?"

Zhuang Xien asked: "What factory? How big is it?"

Lin Qingyuan introduced the situation of the factory. It turned out that the bicycle factory was a subordinate unit of Ji Zhong Steel Plant. It was established to accommodate the children of the factory's employees. It was considered a large collective in the factory. The factory was not big and could produce about 1 bicycles every year.

Now, because the bicycles are of poor quality and cannot be sold, there is a large backlog, and coupled with loose management, many employees steal materials from the factory, causing the situation to deteriorate and the factory cannot even pay their wages. The employees make trouble for the leaders of the steel plant every day, causing them a lot of headaches.

Zhuang Xien listened quietly. Private enterprises had just emerged, and he was still a little worried about taking over a factory.

So he asked, “Is there anyone willing to take over?”

According to Lin Qingyuan, two factories were willing to take over, but the terms were not agreed upon and the specific reason was unclear.

After dinner, Zhuang Xien sent Wen Qing back home and asked on the way: "Wen Qing, do you think it's okay to pick up the phone?"

Wen Qing said: "If the conditions are right, I think I can take it." She feels that only by working in the real industry can there be development prospects.

Zhuang Xien nodded, and seeing Wen Qing getting on her bike and about to leave, he mustered up the courage to say, "Wen Qing, wait a minute."

Wen Qing looked at him hesitantly and a little shyly, and something moved her. She got out of the car and asked, "What's the matter?"

Zhuang Xien said: "Wen Qing, what do you think of me?"

Wen Qing held back her laughter and said, "He's quite capable and can endure hardships." Otherwise, he wouldn't have climbed on trains and lived in basements.

Zhuang Xien said, "Then can I be your boyfriend?" After saying that, his face turned red, but fortunately no one could see it at night.

But the two of them were standing close to each other, and Wen Qing felt that the temperature of this person suddenly rose and was about to burn.

Wen Qing said, "Brother Zhuang, are you serious?"

Zhuang Xien blushed and nodded, "I like you."

Wen Qing paused and said, "Let me think about it."

Seeing that she did not refuse, Zhuang Xien felt hopeful. He looked at her receding back and grinned.

Wen Qing touched her hot face. Zhuang Xien often hesitated to speak to her, which made her guess early on.

Zhuang Xien came to Pingjing alone to work hard. After being together for so long, I have never seen him look for other women.

As for her personally, he was very polite to her because of her uncle. Later, when the four of them formed the Xunda Store and cooperated more, he was able to treat the partners fairly. His character was impeccable.

Now that he has bought a house and has received good dividends, he may have confessed his love to her because he feels that he has a financial foundation, which shows that he is still responsible.

With a height of 180 cm and a sunny smile, they have known each other for more than two years and are now quite familiar with each other. To be honest, she is still a little moved.
