Chapter 416 8 Yuan a Bottle of Thatch Wine? I’ll Take as Much as I Can!
Hong Kong, Macao, overseas Chinese do not like to drink white wine.
In Japan and Korea, although the locals also like to drink white wine, they have their own sake, which is still low-purity, and it is impossible to buy domestic Maotai wine.
Europeans and Americans basically drink red wine.
Africans can't even eat enough, don't even think about it.
The Middle East oil tycoons are rich, but they have to quit drinking, and even if they want to drink, they drink red wine.
In this case, Yang Ming felt that Maotai was still sold so expensive later, and even the sales volume was so good and the market value was so high, which was completely related to the domestic economic development.
Chinese people like to drink white wine, especially big bosses who talk about business. They prefer this high-end white wine. As the domestic economy develops better, Maotai's market in China will be larger, and the sales volume will naturally be higher.
At this time, Maotai's annual profit is only tens of thousands of yuan.
This is probably something many people dare not believe.
Zhou Gaolian was a little disappointed. He thought Mr. Yang was not interested in Maotai wine.
"Mr. Yang, then I'm sorry to bother you."
Zhou Gaolian was ready to leave.
Yang Ming said, "Since Maotai Liquor is the national liquor and a national enterprise, I certainly support the development of national enterprises."
"Mr. Yang, are you going to cooperate with Maotai Liquor?"
Zhou Gaolan asked hurriedly, looking a little surprised.
Yang Ming shook his head and said, "I just said that even if you ship Maotai Liquor to Hong Kong, it will be difficult to sell it. So, you just need to sell it to me."
Sell the wine to Mr. Yang?
Zhou Gaolan didn't react for a while.
Yang Ming said, "For China, especially with the current monthly salary, 8 yuan a bottle is still unaffordable for many ordinary people. You are unwilling to sell it at a lower price, so why not sell it to me alone."
"Mr. Yang, can you drink so much?"
In 1978, the annual output of Maotai Liquor was 1,068 tons, equivalent to 2,427,732 bottles of 500ml Maotai Liquor.
More than two million bottles of Maotai Liquor?
For the more than one billion people in China, one bottle per 500 people is indeed very little.
For Yang Ming alone, even if he only sold a part of it to Yang Ming, it would still be a lot.
Zhou Gaolian couldn't believe it.
Could it be that Mr. Yang was also an alcoholic?
He couldn't tell!
"Director Zhou, you don't need to care what I do with it. I'll give you money, and you just need to sell the wine to me."
Zhou Gaolian thought so too.
They just need to sell the wine to Mr. Yang, so why bother about what Mr. Yang does with it?
Even if Mr. Yang gives it to someone else, or just pours it away, it's his business.
"For this money, you can ask for RMB, or you can ask for US dollars, Hong Kong dollars, or even Japanese yen."
The reason why Zhou Gaolian sought cooperation with Yang Ming.
It was nothing more than expanding the sales of Maotai wine, being able to sell it to Hong Kong, or even overseas, and earning money from foreigners, which was equivalent to earning foreign exchange.
As for Yang Ming, he now had a lot of foreign exchange reserves.
He had US dollars, Hong Kong dollars, Japanese yen, British pounds, etc.
Moreover, according to last year's production volume.
Yang Ming calculated two million bottles, 8 yuan per bottle, a total of 1B.
This price is about 10 million US dollars.
10 million US dollars is definitely a large amount of foreign exchange for China, but it is nothing for Yang Ming.
"Mr. Yang, are you telling the truth?"
At this time, Zhou Gaolian realized that he had said the wrong thing.
Mr. Yang is the chairman of the Empire Group, with more than one million employees in his company, and can invest 100 billion Hong Kong dollars in China. His words must be true, so how could he be joking with him.
"Mr. Yang, I'm sorry."
"It's okay, just contact Tang Yun when the time comes."
"Yes, thank you Mr. Yang."
Zhou Gaolian looked at Yang Ming and Tang Yun gratefully.
He was still worried that it would not be so easy to talk to Mr. Yang. After Mr. Yang analyzed it in detail with him, he was really willing to buy the Maotai wine.
Zhou Gaolian left first.
Yang Ming and Tang Yun were still inside.
Tang Yun asked curiously, "Boss, you are not really an alcoholic, are you?"
"I usually drink a little red wine, and basically don't touch white wine."
Yang Ming knew very well that drinking too much white wine would be particularly harmful to the body.
If someone like Ma Shimin had often drunk white wine when he was young, he would have died long ago. It was only because of drinking red wine that he looked fine.
"Boss, did you just agree to Director Zhou again?"
Originally, Tang Yun didn't want to bring Zhou Gaolian to see Yang Ming, mainly because Zhou Gaolian found her through other important relationships, so Tang Yun had no choice but to bring her here.
She originally just wanted the boss to deal with it casually.
Even if the Empire Group has many sales channels in Hong Kong, including supermarkets and shopping malls, it can be put out for sale, and the sales volume has nothing to do with them.
Now the boss actually agreed directly.
"I don't have to drink it after buying it, I can also collect it, or even give it as a gift."
Collect?
Give it as a gift?
Tang Yun didn't know that this Maotai wine could appreciate by more than ten thousand times in the future.
"Boss, how much are you going to buy?"
"I will buy as much as the Maotai Company is willing to sell. Not only this year's, but also the Maotai wine from the 1950s and 1960s. I also like the ones produced in the future. If you want to sell them to me, I will also take them. As for the price, you can negotiate with them, just like I bought the collections of the Foreign Visitors Department of the National History Museum and Rongbaozhai last year."
Tang Yun already understood.
It seems that the boss does not use Maotai wine for drinking, but only for collection.
Yang Ming did not tell Zhou Gaolian what he bought it for.
Yang Ming does not need to do anything at all. He buys it and keeps it in the house for collection. He will sell it after 30 or 40 years. Even if the Maotai wine evaporates, a bottle of wine can still be exchanged for a lot of money.
For him, this is actually an investment behavior.
For Zhou Gaolian, Yang Ming's behavior is indeed an act of supporting national enterprises, and he naturally praises Mr. Yang's behavior.
This is just a small matter for Yang Ming.
He told Tang Yun to do it.
Tang Yun will handle it well.
There is no reason for Yang Ming to refuse such wealth that he has given himself.
. . .
That night.
Yang Ming and Mr. Shen went to see the old man.
The old man had actually heard that Zhou Gaolian had asked Yang Ming to sell Maotai wine.
"Old man, I rarely drink, especially white wine. I just bought it for collection, just like I collected those paintings and calligraphy from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Rongbaozhai last year."
Collect?
And not drink?
Isn't it a waste?
The old man thought that this was a normal business behavior. Maotai Wine Company wanted to sell it to Mr. Yang, and Mr. Yang spent money to buy it. He didn't steal or rob, the price was fair, and both parties were satisfied, so there was no problem.
Yang Ming bought it as a collection.
Zhou Gaolian and Maotai Wine Factory also created foreign exchange for the country, which was a beneficial business behavior for both parties.
