Traveling through 70's wine

Half a month later, Wen Qing was about to set off to Shanxi Province to check on the progress of the vineyard construction. Although she talked to Liu Honggang on the phone every day, she still needed to see it in person to feel at ease. Before leaving Pingjing, Wen Qing visited three companies again.

Liu Quan is now the general manager of the winery, in charge of all work. Wang Jianguo is the deputy general manager, responsible for the daily production of the winery. Wang Guozhang is almost 70 years old and is the chief technician of the winery. Wang Jianguo's eldest apprentice Jin Zicong is in charge of the old winery, the third apprentice Chang Yingshan is in charge of the new factory koji brewing workshop, and Wang Guozhang's eldest son Wang Jilin is in charge of the koji workshop.

All the wine cellars of Erxia Village Winery have been put into use. The strong-flavor liquor produced by the old winery has now become the flagship product of the winery and has a good reputation in the market. However, the production volume is limited, which makes Liuquan very regretful.

After years of cooperation with Jinfen Distillery, the quality of the light-fragrance liquor produced by the third workshop has been greatly improved, and its reputation in the market is not inferior to that of Jinfen Liquor. Now the third factory, that is, the one in Minchuan, is cooperating with Jinfen Distillery. All the light-fragrance liquor produced by Changxia Distillery is supplied to the market.

As the quality of the wine cellar improves, the quality of the strong-flavor liquor produced in the second workshop has also improved. There is absolutely no problem using it as a base liquor, and they have cooperation with all major liquor factories.

The koji workshop is now very large. After ten years of development, the koji produced by Changxia Distillery has also gained a certain reputation. They produce a variety of koji to meet the different needs of strong-flavor and light-flavor liquors. Wen Qing asked Liu Quan to register a special trademark. It will not only supply the Changxia Distillery, but also the second branch in Anhui Province and the third branch in Shanxi Province. The wineries near Pingjing also come to them to buy koji, so the scale of the koji workshop has been expanding again and again, and it has become an important source of profit.

Wen Qing took a round of inspection and found no problems. She then went to Tan Yuanfang to listen to the financial report. Everything was normal, so she turned and went to the feed factory.

As soon as she entered the factory, Zheng Xiaoqiang who was walking out called her, "Master, I was just looking for you." He took out a letter from his bag and said, "The village sent me a letter, and there is a letter for you in it." He gave her the letter.

Wen Qing saw that the envelope was a little dirty and the recipient was indeed herself, but when she looked at the sender's address, it turned out to be Wuhan.

She was shocked in her heart, but didn't show it on her face. She said, "Xiao Qiang, thank you."

When she returned to the office and opened the letter, she saw that it was written by her mother.

In the letter, her mother first complained that she had a bad temper and had not written to the family for eight or nine years. She then talked about some situations at home, that she had retired, her grandfather had passed away, and her brother had been promoted and was the workshop director in the factory. Finally, she said that there was no other way for her to go to the countryside, and although they were unable to help her return to the city, it was because they did not have the ability. She asked her not to blame the family, and finally hoped that she would have time to go home once.

Wen Qing didn't feel better after reading the letter. In fact, she didn't really blame her family for making her go to the countryside. Just like her mother said, her brother had graduated from high school and her sister was still in school. Her parents tried their best to find a job for her brother. She was sent to the countryside after only one year of high school. It was probably because her brother didn't want to go to the countryside. She could understand that her parents wanted the boy to stay.

But what made her unhappy was that during the several years she spent in the countryside, she basically received no letters from home, let alone any help.

Yunnan was a frontier region at the time and life was hard. With three people in her family working, they could not afford to spend a penny. Moreover, the two times she went home, there was no place for her at home and she had to sleep in the kitchen. This did not give her any excuse to go home.

When the wave of educated youth who had gone to the countryside returned to the city, her parents turned a blind eye. Objectively, it might be that they did not have the ability, but subjectively, they did not want her to go back at all.

After reading the letter again, Wen Qing's eyes were sore, but there was no tear. She thought to herself that they probably still thought she was staying in some corner of the rural area in Yunnan.

Wen Qing looked carefully at the address on the envelope. It was still the address of her previous home. It seemed that they had not moved.

Wen Qing put the letter into her space and decided to go back and check it out when she had time. But after thinking about it, she still picked up the pen and wrote a letter. Although she did not tell them about her current specific situation, she just told them that she was doing well, was married, had two children, and that they were safe and sound.

After writing the letter, I gave it to Xiaoying, a girl in the office, and asked her to help mail it.

After having lunch at the feed factory and calling Qi Yanling, Wen Qing took Xu Shengli and Xiaoying to the food factory.

Wen Qing and his group first went to the conference room to listen to Qi Yanling's work report, focusing on product production and sales.

After the establishment of the group, the food factory was directly managed by Xu Shengli and operated relatively independently. The food factory now produces three categories: candy, meat products and frozen fast food.

Candies and meat products have a relatively long shelf life, are suitable for transportation, and are sold nationwide; frozen fast foods mainly consist of cut pork, as well as bagged steamed buns and dumplings, which are mainly sold in local supermarkets.

Seeing that Qi Yanling had clear ideas, well-organized work measures, and a clear understanding of the market, Wen Qing nodded in satisfaction.

After the meeting, under the leadership of Qi Yanling, they went to check several production workshops. Wen Qing took the inspection records of the Quality Inspection Department and carefully analyzed the inspections in the past three months. It was found that the inspections were very frequent, but the types of inspections were not comprehensive enough. Wen Qing specifically pointed out this and followed the source tracing mechanism to spot-check the product records, which were also complete and correct.

Back at the Changxia Food Group building, Wen Qing called Xu Shengli and other executives to sit down and discuss the company's development.

The company has now formed an upstream and downstream production chain of feed, breeding and processing, and will continue to improve its product line in the future. For example, the feed factory now produces pig feed, chicken feed, cattle and sheep feed. These are large product categories with fierce competition. In the future, we will develop some specialty feeds, such as pet feed.

Now that refrigerators are becoming increasingly common in ordinary households and people are busy at work, frozen foods will gradually become popular. The steamed buns and dumplings produced by Changxia Food Factory are now selling well, but other food factories are also following suit. It seems that if they want to stay ahead, they will have to add more varieties of frozen foods in the future.

She asked Xu Shengli to lead a team to inspect two breeding bases and visit dealers in big cities to understand the direction of market development.

Xu Shengli made arrangements immediately. He is the second largest individual shareholder after Wen Qing. His eldest son Xu Qingshan is also in the company and is now in charge of farm work in the breeding department, so he is very dedicated to the development of the company.

There are several such father-son and husband-wife pairs in her company. Although Wang Jianguo's son does not work in the winery, his three apprentices are all in important positions. Zheng Xiaoqiang and his wife are both senior executives of the company. Wang Guozhang's eldest son is the director of the koji workshop. Liu Quan's eldest son went to the second factory, and the youngest son followed Wen Qing as her assistant.

There are still too few talents. Wen Qing thinks that a group of management talents should be selected.
