Chapter 360 The situation of the winery

“No, no.” The middle-aged man saw that his idea was seen through by Wang Ziming, and immediately smiled and said, “How dare I cheat Wang Shao and Wu Shao.”

“It’s better this way.” Wang Ziming said, “Wu Fan is sincere in buying, which is a good thing for you. Otherwise, you will lose one more day if you delay one more day.”

“Yes, yes.” The owner of the winery said.

His business is bleak now. He has to pay wages to workers every day, and the equipment needs money to operate. Water, electricity, materials, etc. are also not small expenses. It can be said that he is losing money every day. If he sells one day earlier, he can stop the loss one day earlier, and he can also use the money to do other things.

“I will take you two around.” After Wang Ziming’s warning, the owner of the winery really became much more honest.

The area of ​​this winery is not small, about nearly 2,000 square meters. This area is naturally incomparable to large wineries, but it is not bad compared to other wineries. There are several workshops in the winery. Wu Fan saw that many workers were chatting and sleeping inside, but they were not working. After seeing Wu Fan and his team appear, those people also looked at Wu Fan and his team curiously.

"Is this the case here?" Wu Fan asked.

"Almost." The owner of the winery did not dare to lie: "The winery has not been doing well recently, and there are not many orders. I have fired some people. If the winery does not improve, I guess I will have to lay off more people."

When the boss spoke, he did not deliberately lower his voice, nor did he avoid the people on the scene, so the workers on the scene heard his words clearly, and they all looked nervous and flustered.

No one wants to be laid off, especially those who have families.

However, the winery is not profitable, and everyone knows it. If the winery is not profitable, it will naturally not be able to start work, and their wages will be difficult to arrive on time. However, I heard that the boss is thinking about selling it recently. If there is a new boss, the situation may be different.

Thinking of this, the workers looked at Wu Fan and Wang Ziming.

Could it be that these two are the buyers?

When they thought of this, everyone looked at Wu Fan and Wang Ziming with eagerness.

"How is their technical level?" Wu Fan asked. He has advanced winemaking technology, but it is impossible for him to do all the links by himself. That would tire him to death. Moreover, he can't stay here all day, so he still needs reliable people from the winery.

"They are all capable, otherwise I wouldn't keep them." The owner of the winery said, and then he waved to the crowd watching not far away and shouted: "Lao Li, come here."

"Okay." Hearing the boss's call, a middle-aged man in his forties with a simple look trotted over.

"This is Lao Li, who is in charge of technology in the factory. Lao Li has been in this business for many years and is very experienced. I had a hard time finding him at that time." The owner of the winery said to Wu Fan.

Wu Fan looked at the middle-aged man, who became a little restrained when he felt Wu Fan's gaze.

"When I built this winery, I also wanted to make a big splash in the liquor industry. The production lines were the most advanced, and I also poached a lot of people. Who knew that after I entered this industry, the entire liquor industry began to decline. It has been three or four years now, and the efficiency here is getting worse and worse. Until now, even wages cannot be paid." The owner of the winery said.

At this point, he felt that he seemed to have let the cat out of the bag, and hurriedly looked at Wu Fan and said, "Of course, if Young Master Wu runs it, there will definitely be no problem. I am an idiot in this industry."

Why did he tell Wu Fan about the continued decline of the liquor industry? What if he backed down after hearing it and didn't buy this place?

The owner of the winery wanted to slap himself in the face.

Fortunately, Wu Fan didn't seem to care about his words, nor did he mean to turn around and leave, which made him feel relieved and secretly warned himself not to talk nonsense.

Wu Fan has advanced brewing technology. This skill not only makes him familiar with the brewing process in the game world, but also various brewing technologies, processes and equipment in reality. He can also see the situation of the production line here.

"Your production line here may be considered good three or four years ago, but now it is not very advanced. You haven't updated it in the past few years, right?" Wu Fan asked.

The owner of the winery didn't expect Wu Fan to know all this, and instinctively wanted to lie, but after seeing Wang Ziming beside Wu Fan, he suppressed this idea.

"It's like this." The owner of the winery said that the factory's performance has not been good in recent years. How can he have money to invest in it? Moreover, he also saw that the liquor industry was becoming more and more sluggish, so he was naturally more reluctant to spend money in vain.

Wu Fan nodded. He had no complaints about these production lines. With his brewing skills, he could still brew the wine he wanted even with these production lines. He just said that just to make it easier to lower the price later.

"Master Li, how long have you been in this industry?" Wu Fan looked at the technical director and said.

"More than 20 years." Master Li said a little nervously.

"So how is your technology? I mean, how do you think you are in the liquor industry?" Wu Fan asked.

"This... I can't say that I have the best skills in the winemaking industry, but I am definitely at an upper-middle level." Master Li said with a little pride.

Such a level may not be too good in those nationally famous wineries, but in such a small winery, it is enough to gain a foothold.

Wu Fan nodded again, and he had some understanding of the real liquor industry in his heart.

Just now, he had secretly used the identification technique on Master Li, and the result was that the other party had intermediate winemaking skills, and he had just entered the intermediate level. If the other party's level can be at an upper-middle level in the entire liquor industry, then the level of the masters in the real liquor industry can be imagined. It is estimated that the masters in those well-known wineries may only have advanced winemaking skills.

This is similar to the previous catering industry. A chef of Liu Yidao's level is already well-known in the entire culinary world. However, under the identification of the identification technique, it is only an intermediate culinary skill.

It can be seen that the level of life skills in reality is lower than that in the game world. If you can have the advanced skills in the game world, you can basically be regarded as the top in that industry in reality.

Moreover, Wu Fan has a white crane jade pendant, which can directly upgrade the advanced winemaking skills to the master level. Such ability is enough for Wu Fan to look down on the entire liquor brewing industry.
