After Boss Jia announced the construction of 1000 schools, Boss Jia instantly became a different person in the eyes of everyone present at the banquet.
Previously, although everyone in the real world was very respectful to Boss Jia and all of them had a smile on their faces, it was not a smile for Boss Jia, but a smile for giving money. Boss Jia could feel the unfamiliarity in it.
But this time, after Boss Jia announced the construction of 1000 primary schools, it was completely different. Everyone looked at Boss Jia with admiration.
The people present were all elites of Guizhou Province. It was not that they had never seen businessmen who announced the construction of one or two primary schools for the sake of image projects.
But people like Boss Jia, who invested 200 million yuan in one go to build 1000 schools, had never been seen before. This was a total of 200 million yuan. This was a true philanthropist.
Naturally, the way they looked at Boss Jia was completely different.
"Mr. Jia, don't worry. As long as the schools are built, we will do everything we can to equip them with good teachers!" In the end, the leader also expressed his attitude.
Boss Jia did not go back on his words. In fact, on the second day, Boss Jia and the relevant departments of Guizhou Province jointly established the Daqian Hope Foundation. Then, 200 million yuan was transferred to their account in two days. After that, it took another two years to successfully build 1000 Daqian primary schools in Guizhou Province. At this time, there were less than 50 primary schools in Guizhou Province.
The 1000 Daqian primary schools did bring a lot of burden to the Daqian Group, but on the other hand, it also gave the Daqian Group an invisible wealth.
For example, the officials of Guizhou Province were very cooperative with the Daqian Group. No one dared to cause trouble for the Daqian Group. Many things were given the green light. This was not a repayment, but a feeling of gratitude.
On the other hand, with the construction of 1000 Daqian primary schools, there were hundreds of thousands of students in Guizhou Province every year. They grew up under the influence of the word Daqian.
Whether these students would become farmers, college students, or great scientists, entrepreneurs, or politicians in the future, although there were some cruel people, most of them still remembered the Daqian's kindness and knew that it was the Daqian that gave them a different future.
When this group of children grew up, Guizhou Province gradually became the second hometown of the Daqian Group. Boss Jia did not expect that the Daqian Group would have the same status in Guizhou Province as Xijiang Province.
Let's get back to business. After signing the agreement and announcing the construction of 1000 Daqian primary schools, Boss Jia still did not intend to leave Guizhou Province. Instead, he said that he wanted to go to Maotai Town.
"I'm afraid that the boss wants to go to Maotai to get some special Maotai Bars!" The leaders of Guizhou Province smiled. Some leaders suggested that Boss Jia did not need to go to Maotai Town. They could directly send a dozen boxes of wine to Boss Jia.
However, Boss Jia refused with a smile. He still went to Maotai Town and went straight to the Maotai Winery.
The leaders of the Maotai Winery knew that Boss Jia was coming in advance. They all came to greet him enthusiastically. They showed him around the winery and invited him to a full Maotai banquet. A group of people surrounded Boss Jia and poured wine for him. Then, Boss Jia slept in the hotel for more than a day. He barely got up on the afternoon of the second day.
On the third day, Boss Jia appeared in the Maotai Winery again. However, this time, he did not go straight to the banquet table. Instead, he went to the Maotai Winery's office.
"How's your winery's profit this year?" Boss Jia asked with a smile.
"That's our company's secret. Mr. Jia, it's not good for you to ask that!" The director was stunned. He did not expect Boss Jia to ask such a sharp question at the beginning.
"Hehe, let's get straight to the point. I want to buy the Maotai Winery. Of course, I need to know about your winery's profit this year!" Boss Jia laughed.
"Boss Jia is really straightforward!" The director of the Maotai Winery did not look surprised. Boss Jia, the richest man in Hua Xia, came to the Maotai Winery specially. However, the winery offered to give him ten boxes of Flying Maotai Winery yesterday. Boss Jia did not accept it. It seemed that he did not want the wine.
Then, his intention was very obvious. He came for the whole Maotai Winery. He wanted to buy the Maotai Winery!
"Sorry, there's nothing to talk about!" The director said straightforwardly. "We are a state-owned enterprise and one of the most important enterprises in the province. It's useless for you to talk to me!"
Indeed, the director was not lying. The acquisition of the Maotai Winery was not something that a small director like him could decide. Even the leaders of Zunyi City could not decide. It had to be approved by the provincial leaders.
"Actually, before I came, I had talked to the leaders in the province. They support this acquisition!" Boss Jia laughed and took out his trump card.
That's right. When Boss Jia was in the provincial capital, he had talked to them. Both sides had a very pleasant conversation. They were very supportive of Boss Jia.
In 1995, Maotai Winery was not as popular as it was in the future. Although a bottle of Flying Maotai Winery was sold as high as 200 yuan in China, it was strictly prohibited to be sold in China. The Flying Maotai Winery circulating in China was either specially supplied or returned from abroad. It could not bring much profit to Maotai Winery.
The Maotai Winery was really selling the Maotai series of wines in China. However, these series of wines were not as famous as Maotai Winery. The price of a bottle of Maotai Winery was less than 30 yuan per bottle.
At this price, not many bottles could be sold. The best-selling wine in the market was actually the Red Star Erguotou that sold for 2 yuan per bottle or the Xijiang Four Specialties that sold for 5 yuan per bottle.
In addition, Maotai Winery was far behind in terms of brand marketing.
Right now, the most popular wine in the country was actually the Confucius family's banquet wine.
That's right, it was the brand that had spent hundreds of millions of RMB to bid for CCTV's Bid King. Although the Kongfu Family Banquet Wine was made from raw liquor produced by dozens of small wineries in Dongshan Province, and the Kongfu Family Banquet Group had only changed the bottle, pasted a logo on it, and added a lid, and sold it for nearly 60 RMB a bottle. However, it had indeed become popular throughout the country. The sales of the Maotai series of wines had been left far behind.
Some people might think that what I wrote here was contradictory. In the beginning, I praised Maotai Winery to be godly, but in the end, Maotai Winery was worthless!
Here's something that everyone should take note of. Maotai Winery was not a whole. You can divide Maotai Winery into Flying Maotai Winery and Maotai Winery.
Those who knew about wine knew that Flying Maotai Winery was the best wine in the world, but Maotai Winery was worthless. This was the current predicament that Maotai Winery was facing.
In fact, the entire Maotai Group had become a burden to Dongshan Province.
Maotai Group had tens of thousands of employees. Just the employees' salary alone was up to a few million yuan per month. If the R&D and production costs were included, it would be tens of millions of yuan per month. However, Maotai Winery's sales volume was indescribable.
Maotai Winery was originally following the policy of small profits but quick turnover. In the end, it did not make much money. Although Flying Maotai Winery was famous in China, its production had never been high. Most importantly, half of the Flying Maotai Winery was specially supplied, and the other half was sold overseas to earn foreign exchange.
Whether it was specially supplied or earned foreign exchange, the money would not fall into the hands of the Maotai Winery. How could Maotai Winery not lose money?
However, Maotai Winery could not be blamed for being specially supplied. After all, if it was not specially supplied, Flying Maotai Winery would not have become the godly wine in the future that sold for 1499 yuan per bottle and 2399 yuan per bottle.
