Rebirth: Back to 1993 as the richest man

end of May.

The bank lent 400 million yuan to Xingyao Wine, and the Rongcheng Brewery was officially mortgaged to the bank.

Although Chu Tianyao acquired Rongcheng Brewery with debt, Xingyao Wine Industry owns 100% of the ownership of Rongcheng Brewery, so even if the company is already in debt, the bank will not reject the deal if the risk assessment has not exceeded the standard. loan.

Furthermore, the selection of Xingyao Liquor into the 8+5 project plan is not just for fun, and the support given to the selected enterprises by the province will not be small.

If the front foot was just selected, the back foot Xingyao Liquor declared bankruptcy, and the face of the top would not be able to hold back.

400 million!

Not much to say, Xingyao Liquor's net profit in February and March combined is only this amount, but for the factory right now, it is a life-saving money.

Fang City, Blue Sword Group headquarters.

Guo Yiming looked at Wang Fan, the manager of the purchasing department in front of him, and couldn't help but slapped the table and became furious.

"The production of the next quarter is about to start. Now you tell me that there is a problem with the raw materials? How do you, the manager of the purchasing department, do?"

Faced with Guo Yiming's questioning, Wang Fan also looked aggrieved.

"Mr. Guo, at present our hop raw materials are mainly sourced from Xijiang, but the person I sent replied that this year more than [-]% of the hops in Xijiang seem to have been sold out, and the rest were given by the local brewery. Acquired, we went one step too late."

Wang Fan opened his mouth to explain, and he couldn't help but wonder in his words.

The amount of hops in Xijiang has always been enough to supply several large factories in the Southwest, but why is it suddenly gone this time?

"You mean, someone is up to something?"

Guo Yiming is also keenly aware of the problem.

"There are only hop growers in Sichuan Province. It doesn't matter if you can buy from Sichuan Province nearby, even if the price is a little higher."

Guo Yiming thought for a while and then said.

Hearing this, Wang Fan just shook his head.

"The scale of hop planting in the province is too small. Now that various companies are buying it, I'm afraid it won't solve the problem."

There are also hop planting areas in Sichuan Province, but compared with Western Xinjiang, the scale of hop planting in Sichuan Province is too small, at best, it can only satisfy the small breweries in those counties.

In fact, not only in Sichuan Province, but also in the north, including Long Province, Ningxia and other places, there are hop planting areas, but the planting scale in these places is not large, and they are often divided up by the big factories in the north.

Only Xijiang has more than [-]% of the country's hops.

"How long do we have enough raw materials?"

Guo Yiming frowned and remained silent for a moment, and finally asked again.

Wang Fan blurted out: "It will last until the end of June at most, that is, one month. We must prepare the production materials for the next quarter in advance."

"I don't care what method you think of, the raw material problem must be solved within a month."

Hearing this sentence, Guo Yiming's expression became even uglier.

The problem of raw materials cannot be solved, and the first thing to be affected is production, which is unacceptable to Blue Sword, especially at this juncture, once it enters June, it will be the real peak season for sales.

……

at the same time.

Like Guo Yiming, Huang Mingui, the general manager of Shancheng Beer, was also furious.

"What's going on, the hop suppliers in the province are out of stock?"

Huang Mingui looked at the person in charge of the purchasing department in front of him with a livid face.

This is about to start the production of the next quarter, but at this time, there is a problem with the procurement of raw materials, which makes him not annoyed.

"What's going on, you tell me clearly."

Huang Mingui unbuttoned the collar of his shirt and sat down angrily.

"Mr. Huang, since the hop raw materials in Xijiang suddenly ran out of stock a week ago, the stocks in the hands of the hop suppliers in the province have also been bought up by various breweries, and the price has doubled several times. It’s out of stock.”

He just sat down on his buttocks, and before he could sit still, Huang Mingui's expression changed drastically when he heard these words.

Years of business experience told him that there was a good chance there was something odd about this.

The supply of hops in Xijiang has always been stable every season, and there is even affluence, but why did the supply of hops in Xijiang suddenly run out overnight?

When this is said, no one can believe it.

"How long can our inventory last?"

Huang Mingui asked directly.

"Up to a month!"

The person in charge of the procurement department reported a number with some trepidation. In fact, with the arrival of the peak season, if they put into full production, their hop inventory can only last for 20 days at most.

"Let someone find out what's going on? The next quarter's production will start soon, and there must be no problems at this time."

Huang Mingui said with a gloomy face: "Do you know that there is already a gap in the liquidity in our account. If there is another problem in production, it will have a fatal impact on the entire company."

The proportion of prepayment keeps decreasing. Although the company's sales volume is soaring, for big companies like Shancheng and Blue Sword, the 20.00% prepayment can't cover the production cost at all. support.

If there is a production problem, then they will have to face more than just a funding gap.

As June approaches, all beer companies are scrambling to prepare for the upcoming peak season market.

But almost all breweries in the Southwest had problems at this time.

Production raw materials are out of stock!

Even leading companies like Blue Sword and Shancheng have less than a month of raw material inventory, let alone those small and medium-sized breweries in the second and third tiers.

Even many small breweries have completely run out of hop stocks.

There is a shortage of raw materials, and the problem they have to face is the stagnation of the production line. At this juncture, if the production line is stopped, it is nothing more than giving up this year's market.

In the fast-moving consumer goods industry, not making money for a year may mean that the underlying enterprises are about to face bankruptcy.

The most direct victims of reducing the prepayment ratio are these mid-stream and downstream enterprises. Once there is a problem with funds, they will inevitably face the situation of debt collection from dealers.

As the saying goes, the one who pays back the money is the uncle.

The dealer's money has long been used to stockpile a large amount of goods, so where can I get the money to deliver a full [-]% of the advance payment.

In this way, it is bound to fall into a lengthy debt collection lawsuit. For these companies, without follow-up financial support and missing the upcoming peak season market, they are not far from bankruptcy.

At the end of May 1995, the beer production enterprises in the entire Southwest ushered in a raw material panic.

Countless people are looking for who has monopolized the hop raw materials in the entire western Xinjiang overnight.
