1987: Sleepless Tonight

"Mr. Lin, why is it you? Did the Municipal Supply and Marketing Cooperative come over to connect with us?" Hong Erquan was a little puzzled.

It was not Lin Jiacai who was in charge of ordering oral liquid from Hongyuan Beverage Factory by the City Supply and Marketing Cooperative, but someone else.

Hong Erquan also heard that Lin Jiacai did not mix the oral liquid, which is normal. After all, Lin Jiacai is familiar with Lu Hao, and Lu Hao is against him. It is natural for Lin Jiacai not to be responsible for ordering the oral liquid.

But why did it come again suddenly this time?

"Mr. Lin is welcome. Mr. Lin is familiar with Hongyuan Beverage Factory and has cooperated with him for a long time. It should be the Municipal Supply and Marketing Cooperative who handed over the oral liquid business to Mr. Lin." Zhang Mingyi said.

"The oral liquid is so popular, it will definitely sell well, and the city supply and marketing cooperative can also make a lot of money. It is indeed a wise choice for Mr. Lin to take over the oral liquid now." Wang Lixing said with a smile.

The two had wishful thinking, thinking that Lin Jiacai had replaced the original person in charge.

Xu Jihai was also very enthusiastic, "Boss Lin, don't stay outside, go sit in the factory for a while, come to my office to smoke a cigarette and have a cup of tea, and I will arrange for someone to fill up the car."

He invited Lin Jiacai to sit in the office for a while.

Lin Jiacai waved his hand, "I won't go in the factory, I'll talk to Lu Hao."

???

Not entering the factory, Xu Jihai, Hong Erquan, Zhang Mingyi, Wang Lixing and others were very confused. They didn't know why Lin Jiacai didn't enter the factory when he came to the beverage factory?

The warehouse is still some distance away from the factory entrance. If you don’t enter the factory, how can the oral liquid be loaded onto the truck?

When Lin Jiacai was talking to a few people, there was no change in expression on his face, but when he turned to Lu Hao, he smiled happily. He took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and handed one to Lu Hao. He saw the man standing next to Lu Hao Huang Minghua handed him one as well.

He also lit Lu Hao, "Brother Hao, I really have to call you Brother Hao, the price of Moutai has risen to 135 yuan a bottle, I have to treat you to a meal, at home, my father-in-law will also come over, and he specially Tell me, I must invite you to my house for dinner, don't refuse, you must go over, let's have a good drink, chat, and rest at my house when we get drunk."

"No problem, I will definitely pay a visit when the matter at hand is finished," Lu Hao said.

He had to deal with the matter of the Hongyuan Beverage Factory first.

"No problem." Lin Jiacai nodded.

He asked again in a low voice, "Will Moutai go up in the future? Should I keep it and stock it up, or sell it now?"

"Let's sell it, a bottle of 135, the price is already very high, and it will take a long time to wait for the price to increase later, and the price may drop in the middle, you should have a lot of Moutai in your hand, and all of them will be exchanged for money. Didn't you want to buy a house for a long time? You even took the decoration plan from me, so you can buy a bigger house." Lu Hao said.

In the general trend, the price of Moutai has been rising, but there are periods of ups and downs in the middle.

In recent years, the price of a bottle of 135 yuan is the highest, and it doesn't make much sense to hold it in your hand. It will be better to exchange it for cash and buy a house.

The rise and fall of Moutai's price has a commanding nature, and there are no rules. It depends entirely on the policy.

The main reason for the increase from 75 to 135 this time is that the country is short of money, and the fiscal deficit is a bit serious, so all parties want to make some money to fill the deficit.

This is also the case with the issuance of treasury bills, asking ordinary people to borrow some money for construction.

"Okay, then I'll sell all the Moutai when I go back, and keep a few bottles for the guests, and we'll drink it when you pass by." Lin Jiacai said immediately.

At this time, he turned around and looked at Xu Jihai, "Director Xu, the Municipal Supply and Marketing Cooperative is not planning to order oral liquid anymore. I came here mainly to tell you about it."

!!!

The sky was bright and bright, but Xu Jihai seemed to be struck by five thunders.

He looked at Lin Jiacai in disbelief, "Boss Lin, why is this? It's so good, why did the Municipal Supply and Marketing Cooperative suddenly stop ordering oral liquid? Our cooperation has been very good before, and the Municipal Supply and Marketing Cooperative came over to get it The oral liquid has been sold a few times, and the sales have always been good."

"Mr. Lin, you can't take this joke. You can't make such a joke just because you are familiar with Lu Hao, and it was not Mr. Lin who came to talk to us about the oral liquid business before. Are you overstepping your authority by saying that? Or is it true?" Just a joke?" Hong Erquan asked.

He suspected that Lin Jiacai was joking.

The City Supply and Marketing Cooperative is one of the main distributors of Hongyuan Oral Liquid. What if there are so many oral liquids stored in the warehouse if you don’t order them anymore?

And they also wanted to use the city's supply and marketing cooperatives to give some confidence to the vendors and small bosses outside the factory.

"It was Yang Xuedong who was talking about cooperation with you before. If you don't believe me, you can call him and ask him to see if I am joking." Lin Jiacai said seriously, "There is a problem with the oral liquid, and even Jiangcheng University Both the professor and the medical school have published articles pointing out that Hongyuan Oral Liquid does not comply with the regulations and violated the Food Hygiene Law. Under such circumstances, how can the Municipal Supply and Marketing Cooperative continue to order oral liquid?"

is this reason.

Although they haven't called to confirm yet, Xu Jihai, Hong Erquan and others have already believed the reason Lin Jiacai said, because there is absolutely no need for Lin Jiacai to lie to them.

Seriously, I won't always be like this.

But this reason is not acceptable to several people.

"Just because of an article, the Municipal Supply and Marketing Cooperative canceled the cooperation with Hongyuan Beverage Factory and stopped ordering oral liquid. Is it a bit of a joke to do so?" Hong Erquan was very puzzled.

There were also articles that were unfavorable to Hongyuan Oral Liquid before, and I didn’t see any reaction from the City Supply and Marketing Cooperative. Even though this article was jointly published by the professor of Jiangcheng University and the School of Medicine, the City Supply and Marketing Cooperative immediately canceled the order for oral liquid. The reaction was too big.

Moreover, Xu Jihai also has connections in the city's supply and marketing cooperative, which didn't seem to be effective at this time.

Everything seemed a little out of order.

"The main responsibility of the city's supply and marketing cooperatives is to communicate commodities between the countryside and the city, exchange what is needed, and facilitate the lives of urban and rural residents. Even though the supply and marketing system is currently under great impact, grassroots supply and marketing cooperatives, plus some public-private joint stores, and Consignment stores, etc. There are also many business places that belong to the supply and marketing system, covering almost every street in the urban area of ​​Jiangcheng, as well as every town, including some villages. The health of the people must be considered. The safety of oral liquid is problematic, of course. It is inappropriate to continue to cooperate." Lin Jiacai gave very good reasons.

But in fact, apart from this reason, the more important thing is that his father-in-law Wu Liuzhi played a role in this matter, persuading the leadership of the city's supply and marketing cooperative to refuse to continue ordering Hongyuan Oral Liquid.

The reason why his father-in-law did this was because Lu Hao accurately predicted that the price of Moutai would increase, which made not only him, but also his father-in-law very convinced that Lu Hao's "Hongyuan Oral Liquid" would not last long.

Before this article, his father-in-law had already tried his best to ask the city supply and marketing cooperative to stop ordering Hongyuan Oral Liquid, but he was opposed by the faction that supported oral liquid and fell into a stalemate. The appearance of this article made Hongyuan stop ordering The voice of oral liquid has the upper hand.

So he came.
