Traveling through 70's wine

Yang Yiren said: "In the future, we should still look for local agents to purchase goods. They have backers and are much safer."

Yang Jiesheng nodded and said, "Brother is very courageous. We only dare to buy at the border of China, where the security is better."

Yang Yiren said with some pride, "Jason, you should be more careful," and added, "We also sold some jade jewelry."

Compared with Chinese people, people in Hong Kong prefer green jadeite. The jadeite jewelry launched by Yang’s Jewelry this time is also very popular, so Yang Yiren’s dissatisfaction with Yang Jiesheng has been slightly reduced.

Yang Jiesheng praised: "Big brother, fifth brother, the museum series launched by Yang's Jewelry in the mainland this year has created a model for the combination of cultural creativity and jewelry. It is very eye-catching and worth learning from." His words made the Yang Yiren brothers smile more sincerely.

Yang's Jewelry has ten directly-operated stores in the mainland, as well as exclusive counters in some large department stores. It is a well-known jewelry brand in the country. After they launched the Museum Series jewelry, many other jewelers followed suit, and Yang Jiesheng was embarrassed to use their ideas.

Jason Jewelry also launched a traditional cultural series during the Spring Festival last year, so this year its main promotion is "Glorious Chapter" and it is not directly competing with Yang’s Jewelry.

Yang Jiesheng secretly decided that after the Spring Festival, Jiesheng Jewelry would also increase the pace of opening stores and expand the purchase of gold and other raw materials in an effort to catch up with Yang’s Jewelry.

After returning home, he told Su Qing about this idea, and Su Qing nodded in agreement. Before the rise of e-commerce, channels were king in the retail industry. It was not until e-commerce gradually emerged after 2010 that the Internet became the largest channel.

Nowadays, people are still accustomed to buying in stores, especially for expensive goods such as jewelry. Consumers definitely want to see it with their own eyes, so physical stores are a must.

Su Qing thought about her winery and realized that she also needed to speed up the construction of its dealer network.

The weather in Hong Kong was warm during the Spring Festival. The couple took their two children to visit the Mazu Temple, the flower market, and the Ocean Park, and watched the fireworks in Victoria Harbour. The family had a great time.

In a few years, Hong Kong will return to the mainland. Many wealthy people are planning to immigrate, but the real estate market in Hong Kong is rising step by step. Su Qing looked down from the top of the mountain with a smile and saw the bright lights in the harbor. This is a game of passing the parcel, let's see who will get the last stick?

Su Qing took some time to meet with the account manager of Harvest Bank to learn about the situation of her securities account.

This stock account was bought 7 or 8 years ago. There have been few transactions in the past few years, but the market value has increased a lot. It now has 1 million Nifty Dollars, which is equivalent to about 3 billion Hong Kong dollars. Among them, bank stocks and real estate stocks in Hong Kong have almost doubled. Su Qing asked the account manager to sell all of them and replace them with Nasdaq.

The account manager looked at her strangely: "Ms. Su, Hong Kong stocks are rising so well now, you can continue to hold them."

Su Qing told him that flowers do not last forever, and finally asked: "Do you think there is anything else that needs to be adjusted in my group?"

The account manager carefully analyzed her account, pointed out a U.S. stock, and said, "I recently saw some bad news about this company. Why don't you sell it first and consider buying it after the news is confirmed? This can avoid some risks."

He took out a document on the table and handed it to Su Qing. It was the news that this pharmaceutical factory had a problem with some medicine, which had aroused public opinion. After reading it, Su Qing decided to listen to the advice of her account manager, sold all her stocks and bought the Nasdaq.

Su Qing herself has no experience with stocks. She has only heard stories about some experts who made a lot of money by buying certain stocks and not moving them for a long time. She mainly buys stocks according to industry development. Real estate, infrastructure, and high-tech in the next 20 years are all investment directions. She listens to the advice of account managers at banks and securities companies on what specific stocks to buy.

As for the stocks of the United States, she doesn't have much memory, mainly because there seemed to be a financial crisis in 2008, and nothing was worth more than gold at that time.

After the Spring Festival, as usual, each company distributed dividends. Ping An Electric Bicycle Factory did not plan to distribute dividends, and she planned to open more specialty stores in the winery and distribute dividends at a rate of 50%, leaving enough funds; the grain company and food group did not have any new projects, and both distributed dividends at a rate of 80%. Her dividend income from the three companies added up to more than 4000 million yuan.

Blue Sky Real Estate Company achieved remarkable results and gave her a dividend of 3600 million yuan; Jason Jewelry was about to pay for the house price of the Shijingshan project, so it only distributed a 30% dividend. She and Yang Jason received a total dividend of 1000 million yuan. In addition to paying for the house price, they also planned to open Jason Jewelry stores in several cities with the remaining funds.

Regarding the establishment of a network of winery specialty stores, Su Qing discussed with Liu Quan and Wang Jianguo that if they were to finance the establishment of all the specialty stores themselves, they would need to find stores and recruit a large number of people, which would make the management of the winery very difficult. Therefore, they tended to develop franchised distributors and manage them according to certain regulations.

They already have a set of constraints and reward systems for dealers. Su Qing decided to set up branches in key markets and adopt the "branch + specialty store" approach to promote the market.

After discussing with the management of the winery, they planned to set up five branches and five regional central stores. Su Qing selected a group of college student cadres from the young people in the winery as regional managers and asked them to spend three months to come up with a specific work plan. Five teams rushed to their destination to conduct research on market competition, branch structure, and new business development.

Su Qing went to Wenshui County. As winter passed and spring came, the grape vines began to sprout new branches. After Su Qing arrived, she immediately went to the fields to check whether the grape vines were damaged.

The workers in the vineyard had no experience in growing grapes. Su Qing taught everyone how to identify new buds, how to test the soil, and then use organic fertilizers in a targeted manner. She specifically pointed out that pesticides and chemical fertilizers were not allowed to be used in this vineyard.

At first, the workers thought she was unwilling to spend money on fertilizers and pesticides. Su Qing did not explain the reason, but simply made a firm rule: "Grapes that have been treated with fertilizers and pesticides cannot be used to make wine."

Pests and diseases are mainly dealt with through prevention and manual catching of insects. Of course, Su Qing introduced to everyone how to detect the signs of pests and diseases in advance. Once found, the diseased branches should be cut off immediately. Su Qing also introduced the method of preventing and treating pests and diseases based on the principle of plant symbiosis and mutual restraint.

In March, after the late spring cold snap, Su Qing and the workers removed the anti-cold measures, and the grape seedlings entered a rapid growth period.

Syrah was the first to grow. Su Qing led the workers to prune the branches and tied the main trunk and main side branches to the racks. Later, Cabernet Sauvignon, Gamay and other varieties also sprouted. The 100 acres of grapes required overtime work. Su Qing kept passing on her experience in growing grapes to everyone.

Wenshui is windy in spring and rainy in summer, which makes waterlogging prone. Su Qing dug small canals around the vineyard, but asked the workers to pay attention to the amount of water to avoid too much water affecting the flavor of the grapes.

She stayed in Wenshui until mid-March, contacting her family by phone every day and caring about Shanshan's studies. Xiaofeng'er turned four years old, and Su Qing sent her to kindergarten. Mrs. Liu mainly cooked and did housework every day, and took care of the children at night. When Su Qing was not at home, she would not go back to her own home. Yang Jiesheng also stayed in Pingjing, and only went to Pengcheng when there was something to do, and came back immediately after dealing with the things.

The winery has been repaired and the construction team is now fully focused on building the hotel. Su Qing took out the grapes picked from the space and took the people in the winery to learn how to make wine.

She transferred several winemakers from the Wenchuan Third Factory to the winery. There were only 20 acres of grapes in the space, or 6 kilograms. Su Qing rented a car to transport them to the winery, and everyone started working together. In a few days, the wine could be fermented in the tank.

Su Qing registered the Changxia Winery Company and appointed Liu Honggang as the general manager. The four people under him all became employees of the Changxia Winery. Liu Honggang became the general manager of a company with tens of millions of assets at the age of 29, which made him show off in front of Liu Quan for a long time.

In late spring, Xiaoya Mountain in Erxia Village is ablaze with flowers, including pink cherry blossoms, white peach blossoms, and snow-white pear blossoms. It is crowded with tourists. Su Qing and Yang Jiesheng take Shanshan and Xiaofenger to fly kites on the mountain.

Watching the coil in his hand spinning and the kite flying higher and higher, Shanshan's face flushed with excitement. Xiaofenger ran breathlessly after his brother and kept shouting, "Brother, I want to fly the kite. Brother, wait for me."

Su Qing sat on the grass. Yang Jiesheng poured a glass of water from the kettle and handed it to her, "Drink some water."

Su Qing was confirmed to be pregnant for more than two months. It had been eight years since she gave birth to Shan Shan, and now she had her second child. Yang Jiesheng couldn't help but feel nervous. Now the country implements family planning, and Yang Jiesheng has a Hong Kong ID card, which is not restricted.

Yang Jiesheng was originally reluctant to let Su Qing go out to climb the mountain, but Su Qing couldn't bear to disappoint the children and felt that she was strong, so she arranged a spring outing for the whole family.

Yang Jiesheng looked at his wife's rosy and beautiful face and felt relieved. Su Qing never made him worry.

The family of four played in the mountains for a whole morning and returned to the courtyard at the foot of the mountain to have lunch at noon.

In the evening, they returned to their home in Huashuijing Lane and were having dinner when the phone at home suddenly rang. Su Qing walked over to answer it and heard Xu Zhi's voice in the receiver, "Boss Su, I have good news for you. Our company's listing has been approved. Our factory's shares will be issued in June and listed in July."

Following the last dinner, Su Qing went to the CSRC in person to answer questions on the spot and provide more information. In addition, their factory received a lot of orders for industrial robots, and the CSRC repeatedly compared them with similar foreign products and recognized their development prospects.

Su Qing quickly replied: "Okay, okay! Thank you, Mr. Xu, I will go to your office tomorrow to get the documents."

After hanging up the phone, Yang Jiesheng looked at her with a smile and joked, "A Su, Ping An Electric Bicycle Factory has gone public, and your net worth has doubled."

Su Qing smiled and said, "Jason, but I am still me." In her past and present lives, she has always been an ordinary person, and she hopes to live an ordinary life.

A gust of night wind blew up the white curtains in the living room, and the whole room was filled with the fragrance of crabapple flowers and the laughter of children running and playing.
