Traveling through 70's wine

Chapter 174 Social Enterprises

After Zhuang Xien came to work, Fang Yuan and Lin Qingyuan showed him the report. Fang Yuan said excitedly: "Brother Zhuang, we made 760 million yuan last year. How do we distribute the dividends?"

The bicycle factory earned 350 million yuan and the bicycle shop earned 410 million yuan, mainly because the bicycle factory spent a lot of money to introduce three production lines.

Zhuang Xien thought about it and asked, "How do you want to divide it?"

Lin Qingyuan said: "The bicycle factory does not need to introduce a production line for the time being. There is not much money to spend. I think we can divide it all up."

Fang Yuan said, "I've taken a fancy to a yard, and I can buy it with the dividends I get."

Lin Qingyuan nodded, "Yumei also wants to buy a yard."

After Zhang Yumei saw Zhuang Xien's yard, she repeatedly told him to buy a house, and he no longer wanted to rent someone else's house.

They found a large courtyard in the south of Xicheng. Although it only had one entrance, it had five rooms and the courtyard was bigger than Zhuang Xien's. Zhang Yumei was very tempted, and Lin Qingyuan also wanted to buy it, but the other party asked for 11 yuan, so he was a little hesitant.

According to Schindler's profit distribution, they will get a lot of money, and buying a yard will not be a problem.

Zhuang Xien gave Wen Qing one million yuan in divorce to pay for his parents' stupid behavior. If he got the dividends, he would be rich again.

All three of them agreed to dividends, and Wen Qing certainly had no objection. Each of Schindler's four shareholders received 190 million yuan.

Zhuang Xien told Fang Yuan and Lin Qingyuan not to tell these things to the women in the family. The three men understood and kept it secret without any prior agreement.

Wen Qing signed and received 190 million yuan in her account. Fang Yuan also gave her 2 yuan as rent for the Dawangzhuang store.

Wen Qing decided to be a quiet shareholder in the future, no longer making trouble, and didn't want to see Zhuang Xien.

After resigning, she devoted more energy to winemaking.

The temperature in spring is just right, making it the best time to make koji. Wen Qing, Wang Jianguo, Wang Guozhang, and Tang Lin all devoted themselves to the process.

They moved all the koji-making work to the koji-making workshop in the new factory. The koji-making workshop, which covers more than 300 square meters, is divided into four steps: koji-making, koji-stepping, fermentation and preservation.

Anhui Province has peach blossom koji, which is made in the spring. It can bring microorganisms in the air into the koji, making the brewed wine unique in flavor.

Therefore, Wen Qing had people plant more than ten peach trees around the koji room. She personally made a batch of high-temperature Daqu koji, observed the fermentation of the koji every day, and strictly controlled the temperature and humidity in the koji room, striving to improve the quality of the koji.

Wen Qing discovered that the koji-making workshop in the new factory has a high space and a reasonable area. The temperature of the high-temperature koji is more evenly heated this time. Generally speaking, when the koji is fermenting, the temperature is maintained at a higher level longer and the quality will be better.

1000 wine cellars were dug in the new factory, and they began to cultivate the first batch of wine cellars.

The cellar mud used in the first batch of thirty wine cellars was some old cellar mud taken out from the original wine cellar. New soil was added and applied to the cellar wall here. Then wine lees, yellow wine and koji were added and sealed for fermentation. After another three to four months, these thirty mud cellars can start making wine.

This is a new method of cellar maintenance thought out by Wang Jianguo. If successful, it will shorten the cellar maintenance time.

This batch of new wine cellars required a relatively large amount of wine mud, so Wang Jianguo sent Tang Lin to Sichuan Province to buy wine mud.

Wen Qing was a little worried. At least 7 to 80 tons of grain were needed every month. She thought that she should contact farms in various places and buy more grain.

She found Captain Liu and asked him to go with her to the commune to find the commune leaders, hoping to sign a contract with the commune to sell this year's non-planned sorghum and corn.

Last year, Wen Qing purchased the unplanned sorghum and corn in Erxia Village at a price higher than the market price. The villagers made more money and Captain Liu no longer had to worry about grain sales.

Now the villagers of Erxia Village only need to farm. No matter how much they plant, Wen Qing will buy it at a price slightly higher than the market price. Captain Liu has tasted the sweetness and is happy to recommend Wen Qing to the commune.

Captain Liu found Secretary Ma of the commune and reported to him how they cooperated with Wen Qing. He had reported to the commune before, but not to Secretary Ma.

After hearing this, Secretary Ma smiled and affirmed the cooperation model between Erxia Brigade and Changxia Winery. He praised Captain Liu for his courage to venture into the business and actively promote the development of village-run enterprises, and expressed his willingness to continue supporting Changxia Winery.

Seeing that Secretary Ma had a good attitude, Wen Qing expressed his idea, which was for the commune to step in and promote Changxia Wine Industry to purchase the commune's unplanned grain. This would not only increase the villagers' enthusiasm for growing grain, but also ensure their interests.

Secretary Ma said, "I heard that Changxia Winery mainly uses sorghum and corn. Do you want other grains? Can you digest them all?"

Wen Qing said: "Changxia Grain Company's main business also includes feed production and sales. In recent years, you have also seen that there has been more and more grain on the market, but the supply of meat is still insufficient. We want to produce pig feed to promote pig production."

Secretary Ma said: "Don't we feed pigs grass when raising pigs? If we want to feed them better, we can also feed them corn directly."

Wen Qing said: "Pigs are omnivores. If they are fed only plant-based feed, they will grow slowly. They need to be supplemented with some protein feed."

Secretary Ma thought for a moment and asked, "Where are you going to set up your feed processing plant?"

Wen Qing: "It hasn't been decided yet, but it may still be held in Erxia Village."

Secretary Ma: "Comrade Xiao Wen, this is not right. Although I am an outsider, I also know that winemaking requires a place with good water quality and a good environment. Feed factories are more polluting and cannot be placed together."

Wen Qing said a little uneasily: "Thank you for the reminder, Secretary. We still think the problem is simple. Where do you suggest we hold it?"

Secretary Ma suggested: "Are you willing to cooperate with the commune? Let's build this feed production factory together."

Wen Qing had not expected that the commune wanted to participate in the investment in the feed factory, and hesitantly asked, "What is your opinion?"

Secretary Ma said: "The commune will provide the land, and Changxia Grain Commune will provide the capital and technology to jointly build a feed factory."

Wen Qing asked hesitantly, "Will the public society interfere with the operation of the feed factory?"

Secretary Ma: “Under normal circumstances, we will not interfere, but if there are any major measures, the commune may intervene.”

Wen Qing replied: "Okay, Secretary Ma, I'll go back and think about it and get back to you."

Secretary Ma smiled and said, "Comrade Xiao Wen, don't think too long."

Wen Qing asked, "What about the Changxia Grain Company's purchase of unplanned grain from the commune?"

Secretary Ma said: "If the feed factory is established, buying grain will definitely not be a problem."

Wen Qing returned to Erxia Village and discussed with Captain Liu how to make feed. Captain Liu said, "Xiao Wen, making feed shouldn't be difficult, right? Many people in our village have raised pigs, and the food they feed is mostly sweet potatoes, corn, sorghum, wheat bran, and grass. Will anyone buy feed to feed pigs?"

Wen Qing said: "Raising pigs with green fodder alone will slow down the growth of pigs and take time. Feeding them with fodder is different. It can increase the nutritional supply of pigs and is conducive to expanding the scale of pig farming.

We can also produce chicken feed. Of course, it doesn’t mean that pigs have to eat only feed. If you want to reduce breeding costs, you can mix it with traditional feed.”

Captain Liu said, "Okay, think about Secretary Ma's proposal, come to me when you've made a decision, and we'll report back to the commune."

Wen Qing wants to do feed processing. After all, the scale of pig and broiler farming will expand in the future, which will generate a large demand for feed, but building a feed factory in Kyoto?

She hadn't thought about it before.
