The two cars headed up a road in the hills.
One of the cars was led by Chen Li and his assistant, Zhong Lei, while the other was driven by Qin Lin with Li Qing.
Chen Shengfei and Ma Liewen also joined in the fun.
The winery Chen Li had mentioned was neither in the county nor in the industrial area.
Unlike other factories, wineries had extremely high requirements for location.
The first element was the water quality and water source. Water was one of the important raw materials for brewing wine, so there was a saying that a good spring produced good wine.
Most wineries with famous vintage wines had their own spring or close to quality water sources.
Li Qing looked at the dense forest and said in surprise, “Boss Qin, we might have really picked up a treasure. In this mountain, the winery might have a source of mountain spring water. Otherwise, we wouldn’t have to go through so much trouble.”
Mountain spring water was the water source of choice for brewing wine. The taste of the wine brewed was much better than ordinary water that had just reached the standard of acidic PH.
However, mountain spring water was a minority after all. Most places were occupied. Even most of the wine brewed by Maotai had been purified by modern technology. It was just that the PH value was handled very well. There was still a difference.
When the car stopped, they saw clear water flowing into the distillery’s reservoir.
Li Qing got out of the car and went to the reservoir immediately. He reached his hand in slightly, cupped a little, and drank it. Then, he nodded and said, “It’s indeed mountain spring water.”
The winery was not large. After all, it was just an old winery that was not well run and did not have the capital to expand.
“Boss Qin, it’s here. Let’s go in and take a look.” Chen Li got out of the car and walked towards Qin Lin. At the same time, he looked at Chen Shengfei and the other two behind Qin Lin.
He felt that the county was wrong. If the relationship between these two tycoons and Boss Qin was only that of ordinary customers, it would be impossible for them to accompany Boss Qin all over the mountain.
Under such circumstances, they would only join in the fun if they were on good terms.
As soon as they entered the winery, the smell of a wine trough hit them. It was the alternative fragrance of the distiller’s yeast that had fermented during the brewing process.
As soon as Li Qing entered the winery, he seemed to get into the mood. “Boss Qin, the taste of this wine is not bad. Just this alone is not inferior to many brand wineries.”
The taste of the wine trough was also a factor in the preliminary judgment of a winery.
A winery without the taste of a wine trough was, needless to say, a canned winery. It wasn’t brewed by the winery.
The wine troughs were generally sour, pungent, and somewhat unpleasant to smell. Those that didn’t need to be thought of were ordinary or even inferior.
And the taste of the wine trough hit him in the face. With the alternative fragrance of fermented rice, the wine would not be bad.
Qin Lin only nodded and didn’t say anything, afraid that he would expose himself.
At this moment, it all depended on Li Qing’s performance.
There were more than a dozen old masters in the winery turning over their distiller’s yeast.
One of the old masters was giving instructions.
Seeing Chen Li bring people in, these people all looked over with worried expressions.
Chief Chen was here yesterday.
They both knew the county was selling the winery.
The winery was really not doing well. If selling it was not enough, the winery might really be gone soon.
They had been in this winery all their lives. They had all started their apprenticeship at a young age. At that time, it would be easier to find a wife if they could enter this winery.
This job lasted a lifetime.
Although times had changed, they had developed feelings for the winery after working here for a long time.
Therefore, they naturally did not want the winery to be gone.
It was all those damned managers who put on airs and did not know anything.
“Chief Chen!” The old supervisor ran over and subconsciously looked at Qin Lin and the others behind Chen Li. He guessed that they were here to see the boss of the winery.
Chen Li also introduced him to Qin Lin. “Boss Qin, this is Master Zhang. He’s also the person in charge of the winery.”
Then, he introduced him to Master Zhang. “Master Zhang, this is Boss Qin. Although he’s young, he’s the boss of Qinglin Villa.”
“That Qinglin Villa?” Master Zhang’s worried expression turned into surprise.
The other masters also subconsciously looked at Qin Lin.
“Is he the owner of Qinglin Villa?”
“I didn’t expect him to be so young!”
“My children were saying last night that a bottle of wine in Qinglin Villa is worth 60,000 yuan.”
“How expensive. One bottle is equivalent to more than a thousand bottles of our wine!”
“…”
As a citizen of Youcheng County, there was no one who did not know about Qinglin Villa. From the elderly to the children, it was already a place that everyone in Youcheng County could boast about.
But the 60,000-dollar meal and the 60,000-dollar bottle of wine left the people of Youcheng County speechless.
How could a small city with an average salary of 4,000 yuan have such expensive food and wine?
The salary they earned without eating or drinking in a year was not enough for a meal.
“Boss Qin, hello, hello.” Master Zhang immediately shook Qin Lin’s hand warmly. There was no longer any worry on his face. Instead, he said anxiously, “Boss Qin, our winery’s wine is not bad. These old fellows have decades of craftsmanship. As long as we manage this winery well, we will definitely not lose out.”
This was probably the effect of reputation.
Who asked Qinglin Villa to be so famous now and even have a bottle of wine worth 60,000 yuan?
In Master Zhang’s eyes, the boss of Qinglin Villa definitely knew how to drink. He would definitely feel at ease handing the wine factory to such a person.
Master Zhang’s expression made Chen Li unable to react for a moment.
Was this still the same look he’d had last night, begging them to consider it and not want the county winery at all?
