Han Songlin looked at the row of wine tanks in front of him. They were really quite large, and there were at least 30 or 40 of them.
'These are 3,000-tonne tanks,'
'With so many wine tanks, it's important to do a good job with fire safety.' Han Songlin looked at the water marks on the wine tanks. Obviously, there was definitely wine inside the tanks with water marks.
In the summer, the tanks had to be sprayed with water to cool them down.
Han Songqing said with a smile, 'Songlin, don't worry, the fire safety is inspected every month.'
Han Songlin didn't ask about the quality of the wine in these tanks, there was no need to.
It was just so-so.
It is just stored, and the quality of the wine will improve with time.
As long as it is stored long enough, the quality of the wine will naturally come.
Han Songlin is at ease with Han Songqing's work.
He looked at Xu Lu and smiled, 'The current wine tanks are not enough.'
Xu Lu: 'Then they will be repaired. In the next two years, we will strive to increase the wine storage capacity to 600,000 tons.'
A wine storage capacity of 600,000 tons can barely meet the demand of Fule Wine Industry's wine storage in the next few years.
Han Songlin: 'Now the domestic reform will enter a stage of overcoming difficulties, and it is inevitable that the consumption of baijiu will decline.'
Before, Han Songlin felt that the domestic baijiu market had experienced a major decline due to the Asian financial crisis. But after thinking about it more deeply, the most direct reason was that a large number of state-owned enterprises had problems, and a large number of main forces were missing in the baijiu consumer market.
This is very similar to the reason for the shrinking of the baijiu market 13 years later.
Han Songlin looked at the factory buildings built along both sides of the Leshui River. The current Leshui Town had been renamed Fule Town.
Yes, it was simply renamed Fule Town.
Other companies also named their companies after the streets they were located on, and Fule Alcoholic Beverages was now named after a town.
It was easy to imagine just how important Fule Alcoholic Beverages was in Leshi.
In Leshi, there were too many people who relied on Fule Alcoholic Beverages for their livelihood.
Xu Lu patted the fence of the canning area, which was decorated with glazed tiles. Some of the glazed tiles had already developed missing corners due to the quality.
Well, this is normal, nothing strange.
Han Songlin didn't care about any of this.
'Don't worry, we have already made preparations. After this round, some wine companies will inevitably be eliminated, and I am prepared to acquire some good ones.'
In the past, a major reason why Fule Liquor did not expand its scale through the acquisition of wineries was that, in a booming market, when everyone is doing well, how can you convince someone to sell their factory to you at a good price?
It's a beautiful thought.
Even if you buy it, the price is unacceptable.
It's better to just buy the raw wine directly.
There are many wineries in the market that are doing poorly even in a booming market.
Some wineries are poorly managed, purely because of management problems.
The wine they produce is quite good.
Blending different styles of white wine together to create a unique flavour is the only way to gain a foothold in the market.
Han Songqing listened to Han Songlin and Xu Lu's words and said that he was a little confused. What had he heard that was so extraordinary?
Facing Han Songlin's gaze, Han Songqing quickly stated, 'I won't go blabbing about it!'
Han Songlin laughed softly: 'As long as you know what's going on, that's fine.'
'That's enough. I've seen what I needed to see. From now on, Fule Wines can just follow the usual procedures, and the focus should be on the development of Fule Hotel and Fule Foods.'
Xu Lu suddenly remembered something: 'Last time I went to the school to see the students commissioned by the hotel, and they were quite good.'
Han Songlin: 'They are all students. Even if they graduate and want to really take on the main responsibilities, it will take two or three years before they can do so.'
It is unrealistic for students to want to become executives as soon as they graduate.
Whether you have the ability is one thing; first, you have to show your ability at work.
If you haven't shown anything, and you want to reach the sky, who will give you a ladder?
Xu Lu: 'I've already sent He Yuqiong out to study, and soon, the Luck Hotel in Yuechi will be ready to open.'
Xu Lu values He Yuqiong a lot. She is one of the old employees of the winery, and many of her relatives work there.
People like her have a deep bond with the winery.
Han Songlin sighed, 'I can't believe how quickly time has passed. The first hotel is about to open.'
Xu Lu: 'In the future, hotels will be opening every year.'
Since last year, Fule Liquor has been investing heavily across the country, and construction will gradually begin.
Of course, the construction period will be relatively long, and it won't be completed in just one or two years.
That would be too much of a financial burden for Fule Liquor.
In fact, Fule Liquor is not under much financial pressure at the moment, and there is still a lot of money in the bank.
After acquiring the land, Fule Liquor Industry directly mortgaged the land to the bank.
Then after obtaining the funds from the bank, it used the funds to build the hotel.
In addition to the hotel, Yangguang Real Estate also acquired land near the hotel to build a city complex.
The hotel and real estate complement each other, rapidly developing the area.
It is not the golden age of real estate, but it is almost there.
The demand for commercial housing is very high; especially among those who have become rich first, as long as the house is built well, why wouldn't they buy?
Among all real estate companies in the country, Sunshine Real Estate is considered to be among the best.
Not to mention the quality, the Xinghai Group has strict requirements.
In terms of design, the houses built by Sunshine Real Estate are often elevator apartments with large spacing and greening in the form of pavilions and buildings in the community.
Moving into the community, you are greeted by a sense of high-end.
Sunshine Real Estate rarely builds completely Western-style communities. In terms of design, it requires designers to create Chinese-style modern communities.
'Where did He Yuqiong go to study?'
'Hotels in China and Hong Kong.'
'Our hotel also needs to have its own characteristics.' Han Songlin suddenly thought of the young lady wearing Hanfu.
Hanfu is very beautiful, but the fluttering Hanfu is obviously not suitable as work clothes.
Therefore, it needs to be slightly improved and made more lightweight.
Han Songlin has seen many modern, lightweight Hanfu, and it would be quite nice to design them into the uniforms for the staff at the Fule Hotel.
The Fule Hotel is a garden-style hotel, and only Hanfu can match the overall atmosphere of the hotel.
Otherwise, it will always feel like something is missing.
Xu Lu: 'Oh, boss, do you have any ideas?'
Han Songlin told Xu Lu his ideas.
Xu Lu also thought they were good.
'We can also customise some of the hotel's utensils. For example, dishes, spoons, tables, and so on.'
'What about the quilts?'
'Let's use white quilts, just like other hotels.'
