Episode 9 recap: The people joined forces to take down the Wei army's illegal alcohol production workshop.
The Wei army took Shi Ming Shan to a winery and said their selection here is even more complete than the Xingxing Winery, hoping that Shi Ming Shan could stay and lend a hand. Qiu Guo Dong told Qiu Yi Han that someone was selling counterfeit alcohol, maliciously faking it, but if this matter was exposed, the Xingxing Winery would fall into a major crisis.
Shi Ming Shan publicly recommended Qi Lu to serve as the chief winemaker of the Xingxing Winery, but Qi Lu was not interested in the title of chief winemaker, he felt that Shi Ming Shan should continue to be the one. But Shi Ming Shan had made up his mind, Qi Lu could not refuse, and he incurred the dissatisfaction of the farmers because of excessive pruning, Shi Ming Shan's disciple accused him of why he always had to overturn his master's experience.
Regarding the bank's prior knowledge of the winery's high-interest loans, Ou Yang Yi Xing suspected that it might be related to Qiu Guo Dong, but Shi Ming Shan and Qiu Guo Dong would never betray their good brother, so Qi Lu and others felt that Qiu Yi Han was the most suspicious.
But the key is how Qiu Yi Han obtained the details of Ou Yang Bin's loan, and the winery is highly likely to have a mole. Soon, Qin He Ming and his comrades from the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission gathered the workers of the second factory, openly stating that they would give them a satisfactory response. However, the workers were dissatisfied that Wei Xue Cheng did not show up, and the situation became unmanageable. Qin He Ming hurriedly calmed the anger of the crowd, fully aware that they had feelings for the second factory, and although it was currently difficult, the grape vines they planted were still blooming and bearing fruit, and the sparks would soon ignite a prairie fire, just as the first factory was sailing against the wind.
Qin He Ming told everyone the news that the higher authorities were planning a 50,000-acre grape garden, and this garden had vines over ten years old, which urgently needed these experienced technical backbones to personally teach the farmers how to manage the grape garden, truly expanding and strengthening the wine industry. To this end, Qin He Ming comforted the employees and secretly vowed to help them return to their posts and regain a sense of belonging to the wine industry.
At the same time, the growers in Shitou Village heard that the first factory had sent people to prune the branches and buds, fearing that it would reduce the yield, and they simply blocked the technicians outside, leading to a dispute between the two groups. The deputy director Chen told Qin He Ming about this situation, stating that it was currently in the coordination stage and they still needed to find a solution, and Qin He Ming planned to conduct a survey in the surrounding villages first.
The sales manager of the Wei army, in order to undermine the winery, acted in a hypocritical manner and did not even attend the sales meeting. Ou Yang Yi Xing felt that the Wei army was deliberately doing this, and as the deadline for the bank's extension approached, he was anxious. Shi Ming Shan reminded Ou Yang Yi Xing not to escalate the situation, after all, the Wei army was an old employee of over ten years, and all the customer information in the winery was in his hands, so dealing with such a person required a well-thought-out strategy.
Due to the low domestic awareness of port wine, and the fact that it can only be called port wine in certain regions abroad, sales became a major challenge. Qi Lu found Qin He Ming and hoped the government would step in to solve this problem. Qin He Ming readily agreed and took him to meet the chief editor of the production area website, Zhang Bo Rao, to get the news about promoting port wine published as the headline.
Ou Yang Yi Xing's refusal to be acquired completely enraged Qiu Yi Han, who secretly approached the bank's credit department manager Li Jun, trying to create trouble for the winery. However, the bank president had already guessed that Li Jun had done something beyond the bank's moral standards, and tactfully reminded him to stop in time, and Li Jun immediately ceased his cooperation with Qiu Yi Han.
Wei Jun's constant harassment made the inexperienced Ou Yang Yi Xing extremely passive. Under Shi Ming Shan's guidance, she deliberately issued a disciplinary notice against Xu Jing, in order to strike terror into the opponent. When faced with Wei Jun's questioning, Ou Yang Yi Xing remained calm and collected, stating that she was willing to increase the sales commission by one point, fully reimburse all marketing expenses as well as the various expenses of the sales staff, as long as they could sell the Porter wine.
In contrast, when Qiu Yi Han saw the news report on the website, she stormed into the office, warning Zhang Bo Rao that he must never again promote the Star Winery. Qin He Ming hurriedly went to Shitou Village to mediate the villagers' conflicts, listening to their needs, while promising to try to meet their ideas as much as possible.
Under Qi Lu's guidance, Ou Yang Yi Xing tasted the brand-new experience brought by the wine, and gained some enlightenment from it. Subsequently, Ou Yang Yi Xing discussed the sale of wine with Wei Jun, willing to lower the sales price to 70%, and increase the commission by one point. However, Wei Jun boldly demanded that the wholesale price be changed to 50%, and the commission be increased by two more points.
Considering that Wei Jun's sales department held the lifeline of the Star Winery, it was unrealistic to find temporary sales, and Ou Yang Yi Xing had to agree to his demands in order to temporarily stabilize him. Qi Lu thought it over and decided to go back to Shanghai to solve the problem of the Porter wine through his mother. However, even though Lv Xiao Ying was amazed by the Porter wine brought by Qi Lu, she was extremely resistant to it because it was produced in Ningxia, China, especially by Ou Yang Bin's own hands, and refused to sell this red wine in her restaurant.
On the other side, Wei Jun took advantage of the opportunity to take some Porter wine and put it in bottles, claiming that he was bringing it to a client, but actually intending to cooperate with Qiu Yi Han, wanting her to turn the ten barrels of Porter wine into twenty. The next day, Qiu Yi Han met Ou Yang Yi Xing and admitted the fact that she had reported to the bank, and although Ou Yang Yi Xing was a little distressed, she still understood her actions.
In fact, the important reason why Qiu Yi Han wanted to meet Ou Yang Yi Xing was that she wanted to buy these Porter wines with money and give her an important thing. Ou Yang Yi Xing did not understand why Qiu Yi Han wanted to buy the wine, and Qiu Yi Han said that their own new vines were difficult to produce high-end wines, and even if the winery was well-operated, it had always been synonymous with low-end wines. She wanted to use these Porter wines to build a reputation and change the outside world's impression of the Aidebu Winery.
