In order to get rid of the burden of Maotai, Guizhou was actually very willing to sell the Maotai Winery. However, the leaders of Guizhou did not dare to sell it.
The reason was simple. Although Maotai Winery was a state-owned enterprise, it still had an important mission behind it. Therefore, when Boss Jia proposed to buy Maotai Winery, Guizhou was very hesitant.
Fortunately, Boss Jia made a suggestion, which was to only buy the winery and not touch anything else.
According to Boss Jia, Boss Jia only spent money to buy the ownership of Maotai Winery. At the same time, a financial team would be parachuted in to manage Maotai Winery's finances. At the same time, Boss Jia would be the chairman of the board of directors.
However, Boss Jia would not interfere with Maotai Winery's management rights, personnel appointment rights, and other rights. It would still operate according to the original model. All personnel appointment rights and management rights were in the hands of the state. As long as there was no hiding of income or any other actions that were out of bounds, the Daqian Group had no right to interfere with normal operations and special supplies.
In addition, the foreign exchange earned from the sales of Maotai Winery would all be transferred to the state, and the state would convert it into RMB and give it to Maotai Winery.
At the same time, if Maotai Winery suffered losses, the Daqian Group would be responsible for making up for it. If Maotai Winery went bankrupt, then the ownership of Maotai Winery would be acquired by ZF immediately.
After Boss Jia made this suggestion, Guizhou's doubts were completely dispelled. Then, both sides carried out a series of negotiations on what was out of bounds. In the end, they came up with an agreement with more than 160 clauses. However, it was finally approved by Guizhou.
However, after the negotiations, the leaders of Guizhou curiously asked Boss Jia what Boss Jia wanted by spending money to buy a winery that was destined to lose money and losing the management rights of a normal private enterprise.
"I want Maotai Winery!" Boss Jia said straightforwardly, "I believe that Maotai Winery's future will be very bright. It might even become the largest company in Hua Xia by market value!"
"Hahaha!" The leaders of your province laughed. After all, he was a young man, and his thoughts were too optimistic. However, it didn't matter. In any case, this transaction wouldn't be a loss for your province, so it was fine.
"Since Mr. Jia has already reached an agreement with the leaders, what else can I say?" the director of the Maotai Winery asked helplessly after reading Boss Jia's document.
However, he was very satisfied with this agreement. In this way, the Maotai Winery only had a new owner in name and a new financial system. However, the person in charge was still him, the factory director. That was enough.
"Haven't you noticed that we haven't talked about the purchase price yet?" Boss Jia said with a smile, "The leader said that the specific price of Maotai should still be decided by the local comrades. At the same time, the opinions of the Maotai Winery should also be considered. So I came to you to negotiate!"
"I see!" The factory director's expression became serious. After thinking carefully for a while, he said, "Mr. Jia, please name your price first!"
"Haha, in this transaction, the seller always names the price first. There is no such thing as the buyer naming the price first!" Boss Jia said with a smile, "Mr. Factory Director, please make the decision!"
"Our Maotai Winery's sales last year was 300 million RMB, but we still lost about 100 million RMB. However, the value of our Maotai Winery's brand is still there, so …" the factory director bit his lip and said, "One billion RMB. What do you think?"
"Okay!" Boss Jia nodded with a smile. Without bargaining, he directly asked his secretary to prepare the agreement. The factory director signed the agreement in a daze. The whole Maotai Winery belonged to our Boss Jia.
Well, it was just that the shares belonged to Boss Jia. Nothing else had changed. However, this was enough. Boss Jia had only spent a small amount of 1 billion yuan. Next, he only needed to wait for Maotai to be listed. Then, he would sit and watch the appearance of the trillion-dollar monster.
In this way, Boss Jia could be considered to have finished his work in the province and obtained a rare period of leisure time. He could stay in the country and live a relaxed life with his wife and children. He did not need to care about anything until October.
It was also during this time that the entire world's gaming circle exploded.
The explosion came from Daqian's Diablo. Although the battle between Motorola and Daqian had caused a lot of trouble, Diablo benefited a lot from it.
Originally, the release of Diablo was only a matter of the gaming industry. Only the most loyal gamers knew about it. Normal gamers had to wait for the game's reputation to spread. Only then would they be interested in Diablo and buy it.
But the battle of public opinion that Motorola started gave Diablo a huge boost.
Because this incident started during the release of Diablo. When Motorola used all of their media resources to promote the scene of the burning phone, Diablo was naturally included in the discussion.
At the same time, countless TV stations and other media outlets reported the news with the same headline: "This is an emergency that happened at the launch of Diablo!"
As a result, Diablo naturally became popular all over America after this scene was aired.
Those who didn't play games or didn't have a computer at home obviously didn't care about Diablo. But normal gamers were different. In their eyes, Diablo was the first PC game to be known throughout the United States. At the same time, there were hundreds of people queuing at the release of the game. Didn't this mean that the game was fun?
Therefore, Diablo, which only sold around a hundred thousand copies in the first month, sold five hundred thousand copies in the first month, setting a new record for a PC game. Blizzard Studios was stunned. Blizzard Studios only prepared five hundred thousand copies of the game in the first month. They thought that these five hundred thousand copies would last for two months, allowing them to adjust their production numbers based on the first month's sales.
But they never thought that they would sell out all five hundred thousand copies in the first month!
Although Blizzard Games sped up production as soon as possible, many game stores couldn't help but display signs saying 'Diablo is sold out, stores are restocking now.'
In an instant, Diablo was sold out in America.
