Back in the 1980s, hiking in the mountains was also a way of life

When Wang An had prepared a table full of food, He Liang and Ma Guoqiang came into the house while discussing the porcelain.

To discuss their business, Wang An, Ma Guoqiang, and He Liang ate in the house on the west side, which was the house of Wang An and his wife.

Wang Dazhu, Liu Guilan, and others ate in the house on the east side.

During the meal, Wang An took out two bottles of Maotai liquor, and said with a smile:

"Thanks to my two older brothers, I'll drink a bit more of this Maotai liquor today. My dad and I usually can't afford to drink it, hehehe."

To everyone's surprise, He Liang frowned and said:

"What's so great about this stuff? I'll get you a few cases sometime. And hey, can you get us some of your Three-Whip Wine? We still want to drink some of that stuff."

Wang An grinned and said with a chuckle:
"Didn't I get you two bottles before the New Year? You finished them so quickly? That stuff is so strong, you can't keep drinking it, or you'll ruin yourselves."

Ma Guoqiang continued:

"I gave those two bottles of wine to my father-in-law as a token of my respect; I didn't drink a drop myself."

He Liang also said:
"Yeah, I didn't even get a sip of my two bottles. My father-in-law finished one, and my dad finished the other. How could I possibly have any left?"

To be honest, although Wang An makes a lot of infused liquor, there are just too many people who want to share it.

Six second-generation heirs, each with two bottles, make 12 jin (6 catties) of liquor, while a normal batch of liquor can only make 50 jin (25 catties) of liquor.

It's important to know that making medicinal liquor is like brewing tea. When drinking tea, you should add fresh water after drinking about half a cup. Otherwise, if you drink all the tea at once, adding fresh water won't bring out the tea flavor.

As for making medicinal wine, you add new wine as you drink it. Normally, for a 50-jin (25 catties) batch of medicinal wine, you can only take out a maximum of 15 jin (7.5 catties) at a time. If you add more wine beyond that, the medicinal properties of the medicinal wine will not be as strong.

Therefore, Wang An's ability to give each of the six second-generation rich kids two bottles of Sanbian wine was actually the limit he could go.

Therefore, after the two finished speaking, Wang An didn't even respond, and directly said:
"Alright, I'll get you two a cup of Three-Whip Wine each, and then we'll have some Tiger Bone Wine and Deer Bone Wine. It's good to drink some bone wine in winter, so you're less likely to get rheumatism."

And so, none of the three of them drank any Maozi liquor; they all drank medicinal wine instead.

During the meal, He Liang took the initiative to say:

"Xiao An, aren't you curious about how many exquisite porcelain pieces we picked out for you?"

Ma Guoqiang also looked intently at Wang An, waiting for Wang An to ask a question.

It was obvious that these two wanted to show off, but Wang An never asked them anything from the moment they entered the room.

To everyone's surprise, Wang An said without any concern:

"Anyway, it's going to be a loss-making sale, so what difference does the price make?"

After a pause, Wang An continued:
"By the way, we need to make a deal. The foreign exchange I get from selling these porcelain pieces has to be calculated at the black market rate and included in the 8 yuan. If it's calculated at the standard rate, I'll lose even more money."

At that time, the exchange rate was very stable; 10 Hong Kong dollars could be exchanged for 1.6 or 1.7 Hong Kong dollars.

But if you go to the black market, it's a completely different story. You need about 3 Chinese Yuan to exchange for 10 Hong Kong Dollars.

Therefore, following the principle of "even close brothers should keep clear accounts," Wang An was determined to bring up this issue beforehand.

Ma Guoqiang said without hesitation:

"Of course, if you keep these porcelains for a few more years, you can definitely sell them for a lot more money. We all owe you this favor."

Wang An waved his hand and said:

"No, it's not that serious. It has nothing to do with personal relationships. That's how it is when you're doing business together. If you can do something but I can't, then I have to use whatever methods I can."

During the meal, Wang An discussed business matters with the two of them. Of course, Wang An did most of the talking, and the two of them listened.

First and foremost, the scar removal medication must be exported as soon as possible to generate foreign exchange, no matter how much it can generate.

At the same time, news was broadcast on radio and in newspapers that pharmaceutical companies from various countries could come to negotiate the purchase of scar removal drugs, directly cutting off the channels and sources of goods for companies that wanted to earn foreign exchange through scar removal drugs.

Secondly, the reason given for the sharp increase in raw material prices is that scar removal drugs should also be significantly increased in price.

However, at the same time, a two-packaging policy must be implemented for internal and external sales. For ointments sold internally, the outer packaging should be simple, while for ointments sold externally, the packaging should be more luxurious and look very high-end.

Third, a series of measures should be taken to help pharmaceutical factories expand their scale and increase their production capacity so as to achieve both domestic sales and exports. The key is that the foreign exchange generated by the ointment should be enough for the motorcycle factory.

Fourth, consistently offer high salaries to recruit talent.

Whether it's a pharmaceutical factory or a motorcycle factory, they all need to recruit people from society and universities with high salaries, such as management personnel, sales personnel, operations personnel, engine R&D personnel, mechanics personnel, lathe operators, and so on.

In short, anyone with this talent can be given a high salary or even the right to share profits.

When Wang An said he would give a small portion of the shares held by the shareholders to high-level talents as a reward, He Liang and Ma Guoqiang were both stunned.

However, Wang An made it very clear that the shares awarded as a bonus only grant the right to receive dividends, not ownership rights. If the employee leaves the company, the shares will automatically revert to the factory.

A few days ago, when the seven of them were discussing building a motorcycle factory, Wang An originally thought that the motorcycle factory would be developed little by little, just like a pharmaceutical factory.

However, the arrival of He Liang and Ma Guoqiang today completely shattered Wang An's initial ideas.

The main point is that although foreign exchange is also money, it is different from money.

If you have foreign currency, you can exchange it for money at any time, but if you have money, you can't exchange it for foreign currency.

Motorcycle factories want to make money and develop, but they can't do without foreign exchange, which is simply an unsolvable problem.

Furthermore, motorcycle manufacturing, which combines innovation and production, is different from other companies. If we don't start recruiting talent and making strategic plans now, then who knows who will control half of the Chinese motorcycle market in the future?

The six second-generation rich kids were well aware of Wang An's abilities, so He Liang and Ma Guoqiang wrote down everything Wang An said in their notebooks.

This meant that the three of them didn't finish their meal until after 3 p.m.

When He Liang and Ma Guoqiang left, they were already sober.

As for Wang An, he just wanted to find a woman to chat with.

The main problem is that this wine has a very strong aftereffect. If he doesn't release it in time, Wang An will feel uncomfortable all the way until he goes to bed at night.

But it's definitely not appropriate to chat nonsense with Mu Xueqing in broad daylight.

So Wang An gave Shen Wei a wink, and Shen Wei went home under the pretext of going back to add hay to the donkey and heat the kang (a traditional heated bed).

After Shen Wei returned home, Wang An also strolled out.

Actually, Wang Dazhu and his wife, as well as Mu Xueqing, all knew what these two were up to, but no one exposed them.

When Wang An arrived at Shen Wei's house, Shen Wei had already heated the kang (a traditional heated brick bed), making the room much warmer.

These two saw each other every day, so they didn't have much to talk about. Anyway, they locked the door, drew the curtains, and started doing *that*.

From beginning to end, neither of them uttered a single word.

The main reason was that the two of them worked together so well; as soon as Wang An nudged Shen Wei, Shen Wei immediately knew what to do. (End of Chapter)
