Chapter 75 Good wine must have good water
"Shall we go fishing first, or walk around the factory?"
Han Songlin thought for a while and said, "Let's go around first!"
This time, Han Songlin is not just here for fishing.
Instead, let's take a look at how Yuanle Distillery is.
"Now, there are a total of 1,230 cellars in the winery, of which 40 cellars have a history of 100 years, and 82 cellars have a history of 30 years. There are two cellars that are more than ten years old. One hundred and sixty. The rest of the cellars were built in the last five years."
Han Songlin didn't speak. He naturally knew that the longer the cellar was, the better the wine would be.
To be honest, Han Songlin now understands why Yuanle Winery will still exist in the future.
Compared to the previous Leshui Distillery, Yuanle Distillery has a higher level of heritage, which is really sufficient.
There are so many old cellars, which surprised Han Songlin.
At the same time, he also had a great interest in Yuanle Winery.
"Now, is there no production in the factory?"
Li Wenjie smiled wryly: "The wine produced cannot be sold, and the more it is produced, the more it loses money, so the factory has been shut down for more than a year."
Han Songlin looked at Zhou Youwei: "It's a pity that the distillery is shut down like this in Zhou County. Moreover, if the work is suspended for a long time, the distiller's grains in the cellar will not be able to produce wine. !"
Now there are distiller's grains in the cellar. To put it bluntly, it is to support the cellar.
But the time is above, it must not be too long.
Otherwise, the cellar will be ruined.
This is no joke.
Zhou Youwei is also aware of this matter, Li Wenjie has already made several reports, asking the county to solve the funding problem in the factory.
In Ke County, where is the money to solve it?
Continue to borrow from the bank?
But there are too many loans, and the county does not dare to get any more.
After all, there are too many loans, how do the superiors see the orchestra?
Therefore, the county has plans to sell the winery; after the winery is sold, it can be said that a lot of money has been left behind.
For the county, it can solve many things.
Zhou Youwei glanced at Li Wenjie, there are some things that are really not easy to say in front of him.
Zhou Youwei signaled Han Songlin to take a few steps forward and chat alone.
"Boss Han, I won't hide it from you. In the county, the sale of the winery has already been reported to the city. The city has also agreed. Now, it depends on you. To be honest, you are the most suitable to take over now. people."
Han Songlin felt that he had been arranged by someone.
Moreover, the arrangement is clear.
"Zhou County, we are not outsiders. If I take over this winery now, I will not have enough funds!"
"It's okay, the bank is willing to provide you with a loan!"
Han Songlin instantly understood a lot of things.
No, if Han Songlin is not reborn, will he take over?
Yuanle Distillery is in debt, so it must be a big deal.
Compared to Fuller Winery, Yuanle Distillery is indeed much better. At least, there is a canteen, staff dormitory, and even a staff activity center.
Fortunately, there are no movie theaters, kindergartens or the like.
Now there are more than 1,200 cellars, all of which can be used for production.
In addition to wine tanks and wine cellars, nearly 5,000 tons of raw wine are stored.
There are 3,000 tons of original wine, all of which have been stored for more than five years.
At Yuanle Winery, there is also a semi-automatic finished wine filling line, which can fill 30,000 bottles of wine a day.
What also caught Han Songlin's fancy was that Yuanle Distillery also had many winemakers and bartenders, and there were twenty or thirty people in total.
People nowadays would rather stay in a state-owned enterprise and die of old age than go to a private enterprise.
Conceptually, it is such a concept.
And in the brewing industry, there are very few private companies these days.
As for liquor distributors, there are many private enterprises.
"Zhou County, I'm not telling lies. I'm quite interested in this winery. Otherwise, let's take a look first and then talk about it!"
"also!"
Going all the way, Li Wenjie pointed to a waterway, the waterway was built with stones, and the gaps were covered with cement.
"Mr. Han, Zhou County, this is the water we use for brewing. There is an underground spring in front of it. We call it the Dragon Cave. There is plenty of water throughout the year."
Zhou Youwei smiled and said, "This village is also named Longdong Village because of it!"
Longdong Village?
It is really a familiar name. Han Songlin knew that there are many places called this name.
Among the borders of Huaguo, there are really too many places with the same name.
Han Songlin looked at the incomparably cool spring water flowing in the canal. The width of the canal was not wide enough for a person to lie down, and the height was less than one meter.
This kind of canal is very common in all parts of Shuchuan. As a large agricultural country, irrigation facilities are the most basic thing.
"Shall we go to the dragon cave?"
Dragon Cave is actually a rock cave, very deep; standing at the entrance of the cave, I don't know how many meters it is.
Water flows out of this cave, part of it enters the winery along the canal, and part of it flows out along the naturally formed water channel.
In the end, it will merge with the water discharged from the winery again, flow into the canal, and head towards the Yangtze River.
Han Songlin stretched his head to look into the cave, but unfortunately, because it was too dark, he couldn't see clearly what was going on inside.
Han Songlin had no intention of yelling into the cave, he felt a little silly!
"How deep is this?"
"More than ninety meters"
Han Songlin was a little surprised: "It's so deep!"
"It's quite deep. In summer, there are snakes inside."
Hearing that there was a snake, Han Songlin instinctively refused to go in.
The truth is, Han Songlin doesn't like long worms very much.
Although I said that I wouldn't say I was scared when I saw it, but I was still shocked.
Every year on the roads in Shuchuan, no matter if it is a rural road, a national road, a provincial road, or a high-speed road, there will be countless snakes that will be run over by cars.
Snakes, toads, they all exist.
In rural areas, every household basically kills some snakes every year.
Anyway, if you see it, you will basically kill it.
Things like cat-snake wars are not so strange in the countryside anyway.
When feeding cats in the countryside, you must never feed eels and loaches, otherwise the cat might come back with a long worm in the house.
"The amount of water is quite good. Is it the same all year round?"
The winery needs a lot of water, so the place where the winery is built must have sufficient water sources.
Chuan Guijiu will occupy the absolute main force in the domestic liquor market in the future because of the water source here.
Actually, in the 1990s, many eastern wine companies bought original wine from Sichuan Province.
The liquor industry also has OEM production.
It can even be said that this is already a secret that everyone in the industry knows.
Li Wenjie said with a smile: "In summer, the amount of water is much larger. At that time, it is the rainy season. In winter, there is less rain, so the amount of water should be smaller. It is about one-third less than now."
"Anyway, is it enough water for the winery?"
"Certainly enough."
Han Songlin asked curiously: "This water source is very important. Will you arrange people to inspect it in normal times?"
"We must arrange someone to come!"
Taking a deep look at Li Wenjie, Han Songlin knew from his expression that he lied!
But Han Songlin couldn't say anything. There were some things that everyone knew.
