Chapter 660: Society Is Quietly Changing
Since Yin Jun had more money in his hands, and since he opened up the channel of a handicraft export company, the frequency and quantity of Wei Xiaofan sending antiques to Yin Jun from the mainland have also increased.
He sent two batches of goods this month, all of which are high-quality antique calligraphy and paintings.
When the second batch of Xiangjiang arrived yesterday and arrived at Shi Xundao's warehouse, Yin Jun found that there were much more goods than last time.
Because there were only two big trucks last time, this time there were five big trucks.
Although the handicraft export company is a bit cunning, you will use the thickest for you to pack any antiques, even the calligraphy and paintings must be stuffed into special paper boxes, and then sealed in wooden boxes - this will increase the weight, and theirs Packing and shipping are charged according to weight.
But they are not fools. It is impossible to treat Yin Jun as a fool. It is okay to play a little trick. Certainly can't eat and walk around.
Therefore, Yin Jun stood beside the car curiously, watching the bodyguards unload the things.
Only then did Yin Jun discover that there were boxes of wine in reinforced packaging on three of the cars.
Among them, there are Moutai, Wuliangye, and Jinxi Fen Liquor, all of which are the most famous liquors in Huaguo. They are now and will be in the future.
Some people have said that Moutai has been used for state banquets since the founding of the People's Republic of China, but this is actually wrong.
The first Zhou was always from Shaoxing in the south of the Yangtze River. For a while, he used Shaoxing daughter red from his hometown, and then he also used Jinxi Fen wine, but it was only later that he gradually fixed it as Moutai.
Although compared to the packaging after 40 years, they all look a bit old, just like the ordinary wine at 5 yuan a bottle at that time, but in terms of quality, it is 100 times better than the packaging after 40 years. !
You just have to think about it.
After 40 years, their raw materials and old cellars have not increased much, but their sales have increased by a hundred times or a thousand times. How are these extra wines produced?
Although you are talking about mixing and blending techniques, you can make the taste of the wine not much different from before, but in essence, it is much worse.
This is actually the same as the difference between manual craftsmanship and factory craftsmanship. In order to get more output, some compromises will inevitably be chosen.
Therefore, when Wei Xiaofan got married last time, Yin Jun was full of praise after drinking a little Moutai, and said that Wei Xiaofan had the opportunity to buy some and send it to Xiangjiang, so that he could store it in the old cellar.
Unexpectedly, this time he has already bought these good wines of the national wine level, and Yin Jun looked at the year, and they were all produced 60 years ago. This is really an old cellar.
The boy is very happy.
Although I drink a glass of wine, looking at these decades old cellars, after ten or twenty years, I will use them when I have something to do, and it will amaze the guests.
After checking the time, Yin Jun went back to the lobby and called Wei Xiaofan.
After Wei Xiaofan returned home, he has been busy taking care of the house, running around busy collecting antiques, and also busy planning the art development fund, which is very hard work.
However, he was also very busy.
Because Li Danmin was already pregnant, counting the days, she was pregnant shortly after returning from a trip to Europe.
Wei Xiaofan is already 34 years old, and his imaginary age is 35. In the mainland at this time, there are very few people who have no children at this age.
Unexpectedly, he spread the good news as soon as he got married, which made the Wei family members smile, and Wei Xiaofan himself was also very happy.
Chinese people, who doesn't pay attention to the succession of the family?
Now that Li Danmin has become a key protected animal, he usually can only wander around in Weijia Village. Coupled with his temper at the beginning of pregnancy, Wei Xiaofan takes care of his wife very much.
As expected, at this time, Wei Xiaofan was at home, but after only chatting with Yin Jun for more than ten minutes, the sister-in-law over there called him, and Wei Xiaofan hung up the phone with a smile.
Needless to say, there is a very stable purchase and supply of antiques. The cultural relics stores in Huajing and Shanghai will ask Wei Xiaofan if they have good things, and Niu Saner’s follower Zhao Sheng will also Immediately took Panjiayuan's old master over to check it out, and if it was really in good condition, they would take it all down.
On weekdays, Xiaosheng is also very hardworking. He has developed a group of old shops with good reputation, and also has a few serious helpers and masters. It is said that he has made rapid progress.
As he grows up, Niu San'er has more places to use. This guy is born to be a broker, with a smooth mouth, quick handling of things, and generous shots. He can mingle with people wherever he goes.
Moreover, Niu San'er's personality and morals are also good, and he has a bottom line in life, not the kind of unreliable Kanye.
If you practice it for a while, it will definitely come in handy in the future.
And the wine that was shipped this time, Wei Xiaofan didn’t know if Yin Junxi didn’t like this look, he said that among these manufacturers, there are actually wines that have been stored for a longer time, but the price is very high—— After all, reform, reform, opening up, and liberalization are now in place, and everyone must pursue a benefit, for the benefit of the country and the people in the factory.
Yin Jun was a little surprised when he heard it, but after questioning, he realized that this is a tradition of his winery since ancient times.
Usually a good winery, in addition to the wine to be sold, usually stores a part of the wine every year, and stores it repeatedly every year.
A large part of the wine in the cellar is used as wine introduction, for example, 30-year-old or 50-year-old wine, pour some into the newly brewed wine, and store it for three to five years, it will be very mellow. Come out to sell.
Of course, there is still a small part left. These wines are either pressed into the bottom of the pot, or used when preparing for big occasions.
The inheritance of these three famous wines has not been broken for many years. In addition, the domestic demand has been suppressed in the past few years, so their old cellars have accumulated an unknown amount.
Wei Xiaofan went to the nearest Xinghua Village in Shanxi.
Jinxi Fen Liquor actually refers to the fine wine brewed in Xinghua Village. This inheritance is not simple. It is said that the merchants in Shanxi went to Qianzhou to do business. They did not have the opportunity to drink the wine from their hometown, so they used the brewing method of Fen Liquor. , Brewing wine in Moutai Town, but I did not expect that because the water source is very good, the wine brewed is very delicious, so Moutai was made.
There are mountains around Xinghua Village, and the wine is generally not stored in the ground. Those who have the conditions are to dig holes in the mountains, so it is said that the fermentation will be much better.
As a result, Wei Xiaofan saw five or six Nuoda caves in the mountains, all of which were densely packed with huge wine jars, the oldest of which was 90 years old.
This is the natural disaster in the 1950s and 1960s. People had nothing to eat, so there was not much food to make wine, so there was not much new wine brewed in the middle 20 years. Otherwise, in the continuous mountains, the twenty or thirty The cellars will be filled.
In the past two years, life has improved, and the output of food has also increased. They have started large-scale wine making again, but the business is not very good at present.
Wei Xiaofan, a big boss from Xiangjiang, sells hundreds of cases of wine that have been cellared for 20 or 30 years, and the price is not discussed. Such a generous guest will naturally receive warm hospitality.
The big boss of Xiangjiang came, so the factory naturally wanted to talk about the most expensive batch of goods.
In the era before the war, that is, in the last years of the Qing Dynasty, the business of Jinxi Fen Liquor was still good, so the shopkeeper at that time kept a large amount of wine in cellars every year.
Those who worked in the liquor industry at that time were not like the group of people after 2000. They dared to take out three or five years of wine and sell it as a ten-year-old cellar. After the blending is completed, it will take three to five years to talk about it.
Although it is used all the way and repaired all the way, because first the Qing Dynasty was over, then there was a melee between warlords, then the devils came again, and then there was the liberation war, and after that there was a series of movements, etc., so many In ten years, it has not stopped much.
Therefore, Jinxi Fen Liquor has had a large inventory for decades.
In the past, they were really not under much pressure, because food and drink were all under the control of the state, and they just did their jobs.
But now that the reform, reform, and opening up have been carried out, although the country still strictly controls and controls the monopoly of tobacco and alcohol, gradually there are requirements for business indicators.
Your Jinxi Fen Liquor is so famous, you can't let the country keep it forever, right? You have to earn money to give back to the country!
It's a pity that the transportation is not very smooth now, and the famous advertisements have not been published. Although the country also exports various famous wines, it's just that. Some overseas Chinese and overseas Chinese are cheering, but the quantity is not much.
Because of this, the last time Wei Xiaofan sent people over to buy 100 cases of old wine from the 1950s, they were overjoyed and tentatively offered a price.
A bottle of 100 yuan.
Don't laugh.
After 40 years, this price will make people laugh in their dreams. In this era, it is really expensive.
For example, in 1976, a bottle of ordinary 5-year-old Moutai on the market was 5 yuan, but now in 1980, its price has increased to 12 yuan, and if you buy more, you can get a discount.
Even if your Jinxi Fen Liquor has been stored in the cellar for 30 years, it will not be as high as this, right?
People in Jinxi Fen Liquor also know that they were going to bargain, and they sold 60 or even 50 bottles. After all, it was 100 big boxes, 12 bottles in a box, a big business of 1,200 bottles, but they occupied them. One-tenth of last year's exports!
But after thinking about it, Wei Xiaofan directly agreed to their offer, making the group of people happy, and gave Wei Xiaofan two additional bottles of their oldest 90-year cellar.
They were also uneasy and kind, hoping that Wei Xiaofan would come back to buy this more expensive wine after drinking it and tasting the deliciousness.
It just so happened that Li Danmin reported the good news in those few days, Wei Xiaofan immediately opened these two bottles of wine and entertained the guests for a meal.
This taste conquered everyone, even Wei Xiaofan, when he called Yin Jun just now, he strongly recommended Yin Jun to buy this 90-year-old cellar that he never missed.
Also recommended are the oldest batches of Moutai and Wuliangye.
Wei Xiaofan would buy some for himself and keep them at home.
Yin Jun laughed when he heard that, and immediately asked Wei Xiaofan to buy some more for himself when he was empty.
Anyway, the underground warehouse I built is very large, and it can be expanded in the second phase. It is also an elegant thing to buy more fine wine brewed in this era.
Think about it carefully, the current society is different from the previous few years.
Perhaps some people in the winery think that they are taking advantage of it now.
But in just a few years, they won't think so.
With the continuous improvement of people's living standards, the demand for high-end wine is constantly increasing. Whether it is Jinxi Fen Liquor, Wuliangye, or Moutai, they are gradually pushed to the jaw-droppingly high price position.
At that time, even if you had money, you could not buy such good wine.
Of course, the only thing that has changed is the drinks?
The entire land of China is rushing forward with a force unseen in 3000 years!
