Chapter 885 Progress is Rapid
Chen Yang, naturally unaware of these matters, was discussing the construction of the distillery with Grandpa Fan.
Grandpa Fan looked at Chen Yang in surprise, "You're really willing to build the distillery in the village?"
Initially, Grandpa Fan had brought up the matter casually.
He hadn't expected Chen Yang to agree without a second thought.
This left Grandpa Fan somewhat taken aback. If Chen Yang had simply left with the wine-making formula, he could have found any distillery to produce it through contract manufacturing.
There was no need to spend a large sum of money to build a new distillery locally.
The investment involved was considerable!
"Grandpa Fan, you don't quite understand. To build a brand, it's not just about telling a good story!"
"The company I'm currently with specializes in branding, so I have some exposure to this. Oh, and one more thing, you mustn't refuse the position of distillery manager!"
Chen Yang didn't believe building a distillery locally would be a loss-making venture.
Chen Yang planned to build the distillery near Xue Lin's home. Should any trouble arise, even if Xue Lin's several peak-level Grandmaster demonic beasts didn't intervene, other demonic beasts could.
Currently, Chen Yang's plan was to produce two types of wine. One would be specifically for cultivators.
The efficacy of the Divine Immortal Wine must not be compromised, and it should even be better!
Whether Chen Yang promoted these wines himself or put them up for auction in Tianji Linglong's treasure pavilion, Chen Yang had no doubt they would sell.
The other batch of wine, Chen Yang intended to entrust to Yang Yang Yang Company's online sales platform.
Following a series of setbacks, Yang Yang Yang Company's online sales platform had also experienced significant fluctuations.
Liu Ran and Su Ya had been swamped with these matters recently. Chen Yang hoped that the wine he was introducing would be of some help to them.
Grandpa Fan could clearly see that Chen Yang was not joking. After a moment of excitement, he readily agreed, "Leave the matter of the distillery to me. I'll handle it beautifully for you!"
However, after speaking, Grandpa Fan suddenly remembered something.
Several of them had gone in!
Now, only Chen Yang had come out!
What if something had gone wrong with the remaining three youngsters?
"Haha, I specifically checked on the three of them before I came out. They won't be out for at least ten days to half a month!"
Chen Yang had returned to the village before speaking with Grandpa Fan.
Grandpa Fan's speed and efficiency were remarkable. During the time he went out to buy groceries, he brought several people to his home.
Upon hearing this, Chen Yang learned that although the village didn't have a distillery before, it did have factory buildings.
It was the logging area Chen Yang had passed by earlier.
"This place has been difficult to sell. I thought it would just go to waste. If it can become a distillery now, it will finally serve a purpose."
"I'll give you the place and the land directly, but you must guarantee employment for the villagers. Is that okay?"
Chen Yang chuckled helplessly at this condition.
Seeing the awkward expressions on their faces, Chen Yang explained, "Building a factory in this freezing weather must be quite a hassle. How can we use everyone's labor for free?"
"How about this... consider the village as a shareholder with a non-operating stake. The annual profits of the distillery can be distributed to the village. This money will be used for the village's development."
Everyone's eyes widened in disbelief upon hearing Chen Yang's words.
Chen Yang could have taken it for free, but he didn't?
After sending everyone away, Grandpa Fan reluctantly told Chen Yang how much effort he had put into getting the factory building for free.
In response, Chen Yang explained, "The future profitability of this factory will be considerable. If people later find out we got the factory for free, it will cause trouble. Even if they don't say anything immediately, they'll feel uncomfortable."
"Distributing a portion of the profits to improve the village's conditions will also avoid this kind of trouble."
Chen Yang realized that while Grandpa Fan was fine as a technical advisor, he might have some difficulties handling commercial matters.
However, before Chen Yang could figure out what to say, Grandpa Fan spoke on his own, "So that's how it is. How could I have thought of all these things by myself? I couldn't possibly consider so much!"
After Chen Yang's explanation, Grandpa Fan understood why Chen Yang was successful in business. Chen Yang had considered every aspect.
Whereas he himself had only focused on immediate profits.
"Chen Yang, about that Yang Yang Yang Company you mentioned, can you send someone over? I don't mind lending a hand, but if you expect me to be responsible for the entire operation of the factory, you're overestimating me!"
Grandpa Fan had a very clear understanding of his own role. He just wanted to make this wine and tell the story behind it.
For business matters, Chen Yang should find a professional to handle it.
Chen Yang didn't leave the village. Instead, he informed Liu Ran about the matter.
Liu Ran, in Qingzhou City, heard that Chen Yang was building a distillery so far away and initially thought he was being coerced.
After repeated inquiries, upon learning the story behind this Divine Immortal Wine, she rushed to the village as quickly as possible.
Su Ya also accompanied Liu Ran!
Chen Yang looked at the two women, shivering from the cold, with a wry smile. "Why did both of you come? Who is in charge of the company now?"
Su Ya sat by the warm stove, her voice trembling slightly, "Some of our business is currently at a standstill. Yue Yu and Director Yu Long, along with Liu Xiaojuan and Liu Huang, don't worry, the company won't collapse!"
Hearing these names, Chen Yang almost spat out blood.
Yue Yu and Yu Long were indeed professional talents, but they could only manage the entertainment sector.
As for Liu Xiaojuan and Liu Huang?
Seeing Chen Yang's expression, Liu Ran quickly explained, "The company started training classes a while ago. After all, we've been developing so rapidly and didn't want to hire outsiders through headhunters, so we've been cultivating talent internally."
"Liu Xiaojuan and Liu Huang are among the top performers in the training classes. In addition to their regular duties, they've taken on many more responsibilities. They are both quite capable."
"As for the R&D department, I've handed it over to He Lingyu and Gong Renli. Uncle He is also helping out, but he absolutely refuses to join the company."
Hearing this explanation, Chen Yang couldn't help but pause.
Come to think of it, it had been a long time since he had personally visited the company.
He hadn't expected that even Liu Huang and the others would have made such significant progress.
