Chapter 233 Director Qian's Flattery
Hearing Liang Ming's confident words, Qian Jian also became interested in the Golden Wine.
He couldn't help but ask Liang Ming, "Boss Liang, do you know how many bottles of Golden Wine the county supply and marketing cooperative ordered?"
Upon hearing this, Liang Ming feigned hesitation and said, "Director Qian Jian, isn't this against the rules? How can I tell you about someone else's order?"
Qian Jian had guessed that Liang Ming would say that, so he quickly pulled him into the restaurant, poured Liang Ming a pot of tea, and ordered some snacks.
"Boss Liang Ming, this is a state-owned restaurant, and I don't have any conflict of interest with the supply and marketing cooperative. What's the harm in telling me this?"
Qian Jian really wanted to know how much goods the county supply and marketing cooperative had ordered.
The county supply and marketing cooperative was arguably the most important channel for the distribution of goods in the county, besides the department store and state-run shopping mall.
The fact that Liang Ming's liquor factory can cooperate with the county supply and marketing cooperative shows that the quality of his liquor products is definitely not bad.
The county supply and marketing cooperative's purchase volume also allows it to directly fund the construction of state-owned restaurants under its management, giving it the confidence to purchase goods.
Upon hearing Qian Jian's words, Liang Ming hesitated and said:
"Director Qian Jian, look, aren't you making things difficult for me?"
"Fine, fine, since you've said so, I'll reveal it once, and only this once."
Upon hearing this, Qian Jian's face lit up with joy.
"Boss Liang Ming, just once is fine, tell me quickly."
Without further ado, Liang Ming immediately raised one finger.
Qian Jian raised an eyebrow when he saw Liang Ming holding up one finger, and tentatively asked:
"10 bottles of Golden Wine?"
Liang Ming smiled and shook his head.
Qian Jian looked somewhat shocked and said, "It's 100 bottles! That's 2000 yuan for the goods."
"It seems that Director Chen is very confident in the quality and price of your Golden Wine?"
Liang Ming picked up his teacup, took a sip, sobered up a bit, and smiled:
"Director Qian Jian, I am also very confident in the Golden Wine of my own winery."
Upon hearing this, Qian Jian thought for a moment and tentatively asked Liang Ming, "Boss Liang Ming, do you have any more of this Golden Wine in your car? I'd like to buy a few bottles to try."
"What a coincidence, I do have a few bottles of Golden Wine in my car. Given our relationship, there's no need to talk about buying or not buying. If you want to try it, I'll get you two bottles right now."
After saying that, Liang Ming didn't waste any more words. He immediately walked out of the state-run restaurant and took two bottles of Golden Wine from his car.
When Qian Jian saw the two bottles of gold liquor in Liang Ming's hand, his eyes lit up.
This baijiu (Chinese liquor) has a very unique and beautiful design, with a gold ring around the bottle.
It looks like it's not just high-end.
"Boss Liang, this is your winery's Golden Wine. It's really high-end. The bottle ring is so golden, it really looks like gold."
Qian Jian took a bottle of golden wine, examined it, and said something.
"Director Qian, you have a discerning eye. The bottle ring of my Golden Wine is indeed made of gold."
Liang Ming said with a smile.
"Is it really made of gold?" Qian Jian looked surprised when he heard Liang Ming's words, and then carefully examined the gold wine bottle in his hand.
Then, he shook the bottle ring with his teeth, and when he saw that he could easily bite out a tooth mark, Qian Jian was completely stunned.
"Mr. Liang, how much gold did you use for this bottle ring?"
Qian Jian looked at Liang Ming and asked curiously.
“0.3 grams!” Liang Ming said without hiding anything.
Upon hearing this, Qian Jian did some careful calculation.
0.3 grams of gold, plus the porcelain bottle, should cost at least 9 yuan.
Adding in the cost of the liquor itself and other production costs, selling it for 20 yuan per kilogram at the factory price isn't really expensive.
"Liang Ming, shall I have a drink?" Qian Jian immediately said to Liang Ming.
Without further ado, Liang Ming opened the wine and poured a glass for Qian Jian.
When Qian Jian smelled the aroma of the wine, a look of intoxication appeared on his face.
Just by the aroma of this liquor, you can tell it's of good quality.
He took another small sip, paused for a second, and then drank it all in one gulp.
After finishing the drink, Qian Jian had a look of contentment on his face, as if he was enjoying the taste of the liquor.
"How is it, Director Qian? How's the taste of my baijiu?"
Seeing the blissful expression on Qian Jian's face, Liang Ming knew the deal was in the bag, but he still asked a question.
Qian Jian slowly put down his glass of baijiu, then gave Liang Ming a thumbs-up and said:
"It's great. The taste of this liquor is in no way inferior to that of Moutai."
"Calling it golden wine is not an exaggeration at all."
As he spoke, Qian Jian eagerly poured himself another glass and began to savor it.
Qian Jian was no ordinary person to become the director of the county's state-run restaurant.
His drinking capacity and love for alcohol are unmatched by ordinary people.
"Director Qian Jian, I'm glad you like it. These two bottles of Golden Wine are a gift for you."
"You can save it and savor it slowly."
Upon hearing this, Liang Ming smiled and said.
He did not proactively ask Qian Jian whether or not to place an order.
He remained silent, but Qian Jian couldn't help but speak first, asking:
"Boss Liang, how much of your Golden Wine can you produce each day? How many bottles are left in the warehouse?"
"We can produce a few dozen bottles a day, but even with these gold bottles, we can't supply them in large quantities because the materials are expensive."
Upon hearing this, Liang Ming pondered for a moment and said:
"We are also afraid that the **will be damaged, causing some losses."
"There are still more than a hundred bottles left in the warehouse, but after deducting the 100 bottles ordered by the county supply and marketing cooperative, there are only seventy or eighty bottles left."
Upon hearing Liang Ming's words, Qian Jian immediately became anxious:
"Mr. Liang, how about this?"
“Aside from the 100 bottles of Golden Wine from the county supply and marketing cooperative, I’ll take all the remaining 70 or 80 bottles of Golden Wine you have.”
"And our county's state-run restaurant will also order 30 bottles every day from now on!"
Upon hearing Qian Jian's words, Liang Ming secretly began to calculate in his mind.
If all seventy or eighty bottles of Golden Wine in the warehouse are given to the county-run restaurant, then there will be very little stock left in the warehouse.
The Golden Winery can now produce hundreds of bottles of Golden Wine every day.
Of course, this is why Liang Ming had Liang Wen control the production speed.
If production is allowed to resume, producing several hundred bottles a day would not be a problem at all.
However, Liang Ming would not do that.
Things are rare.
Especially for high-end products like baijiu (Chinese liquor), scarcity marketing is necessary.
"Director Qian, supplying 30 bottles of Golden Wine per day is no problem."
"However, our winery's production speed for Golden Wine is not fast. If we sell all 70-plus bottles of Golden Wine in our warehouse to you, we will have no inventory left."
"If other competitors come to pick up goods, and I can't even produce a single bottle, I won't be able to argue with that..."
Liang Ming feigned hesitation as he spoke.
Upon hearing this, Qian Jian said somewhat anxiously, "Boss Liang, I am now your business partner."
"I'm a customer too. What's the difference between me buying goods from you and someone else buying goods from you?"
"Besides, we've been such good friends for a long time."
Upon hearing this, Liang Ming still hesitated somewhat: "This..."
"I can pay first and then take the goods," Qian Jian quickly said when he saw Liang Ming hesitate.
Upon hearing this, Liang Ming replied without hesitation, "Deal!"
