Chapter 77: The Great Purge
For nearly half an hour, the number of people in the conference room did not increase by a single person. The empty and spacious conference room gave off a very oppressive feeling.
Even the deputy director of a workshop couldn't withstand the pressure and found an excuse to quit.
Yang Sen was getting restless, his face couldn't help but reveal a bitter smile again and again. He knew that this was just one of Yang Daming's tactics. Yang Daming was nothing but a bandit rogue, if he really wanted to drive him away from here, he would definitely be able to do whatever it took.
However, Jiang Xu and Xiao Zi Qing seemed to have not seen it at all. Jiang Xu slightly closed his eyes to rest, while Xiao Zi Qing was already preparing for the next big cleanup.
After a few more minutes, Xiao Ziqing slowly raised her head and scanned the empty conference room with a faint gaze before saying: "Deputy Yang, go inform them that all high-level executives who did not attend this meeting are to submit their resignation reports on their own."
"What?"
Xiao Zi Qing's decision made Yang Sen visibly stunned for a moment.
He didn't expect Xiao Zi Qing to suddenly want to dismiss all the high-level executives, if that's the case, then Xiang Yang Wine Industry's operations will definitely be instantly paralyzed.
It's not just the management of the company, but also all the current sales channels of Xiangyang Wine Industry, all customer sources, everything is in their hands. If they were to resign, the already precarious situation of Xiangyang Wine Industry would definitely worsen tenfold or even a hundredfold instantly.
Xiao Zi Qing didn't seem to have any intention of explaining anything, and after giving a brief order, she lowered her head again to sort out the plan in her hand.
Yang Sen took a deep breath and said: "Director Xiao, I'll go inform them now."
He didn't understand what Xiao Zi Qing's plan was, but he believed one thing - he absolutely wouldn't think that having acquired Xu Yang Wine Industry was just to make him go bankrupt faster. Yang Sen guessed that Xiao Zi Qing might have some follow-up arrangements that he couldn't guess.
At this time, Jiang Xu, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke up: "Tie Mo, you go with Deputy Yang. Whoever doesn't listen will be thrown out one by one."
Jiang Xu can't see what kind of person Yang Daming is, to deal with this kind of person, just use the simplest and most direct method.
With Tie Mian's skills, it's basically a cinch that these people won't cause any trouble.
"Alright, Xiao Xu Ge."
Tie Mo responded with a single word and then strode towards Yang Sen in big steps.
Looking at the iron-like physique of Tie Moke, Yang Sen clearly felt a huge pressure coming his way. However, this made him feel much more at ease. With Tie Moke's big blockhead around, it would definitely be easier to talk things through with Yang Daming.
After Yang Sen and Tie Mo left, Jiang Xu made a gesture with his eyes towards Xiao Zi Qing.
Xiao Zi Qing knew that Jiang Xu had something to say to her, so she looked directly at the remaining deputy directors of the workshop and said: "You can also go out first, just do your own job well, don't bother with anything else."
Although these people are all very nervous and uneasy, at least they can persist in sitting here, regardless of their ability. After the development of Xiangyang Wine Industry in the future, Xiao Ziqing will not treat these few people unfairly.
"Alright, Director Xiao."
Xiao Ziqing's words also made the several deputy directors of the workshop feel at ease, and after responding with a sound, they walked out of the conference room together.
Then Jiang Xu ordered Xiao An: "Xiao An, go outside and guard, without my order, no one is allowed to enter."
"Good."
Xiao An responded with a crisp "yes" and then strode out of the room in big steps.
After Dai Xiaoan closed the door of the conference room, Jiang Xu finally stood up from between the chairs. Then, under Xiao Ziqing's somewhat puzzled gaze, he walked towards a product display cabinet on the side.
Xu Yang Wine's product range is quite rich, with three different specifications of Xu Yang old wine, priced at 16 yuan, 36 yuan and 99 yuan respectively, basically positioned at the lower end.
Beer comes in four sizes, two bottled and two canned, all priced slightly lower than mainstream beer brands currently on the market.
However, the price of this beer is relatively low, and engaging in a price war will not significantly boost sales. What's truly important is the inherent taste and the brand reputation.
Jiang Xu glanced at it roughly and took out a bottle of the cheapest old wine and a can of beer, then sat down beside Xiao Zi Qing.
Xiao Zi Qing took a glance at the bottle of Xu Yang beer in Jiang Xu's right hand and said, "I've had this Xu Yang beer once before. The taste is somewhat astringent, lacking the refreshing feeling of mainstream brands. The floral scent is also relatively light, like it's been watered down, not very good to drink."
Xiao Zi Qing's evaluation is very direct, and this is also the reason why she doesn't think highly of Xiangyang Wine Industry. A product is a company's soul, if the product itself isn't attractive enough, no matter how good the public relations and sales are, they are useless.
As for the old wine of Zhixiang Yang, it is basically a very low-end product among many old wine brands. It is generally sold to rural areas or small restaurants in the countryside. Xiao Ziqing has never drunk it and does not comment on it.
"Then I'll try it first and see if it's really that bad." Jiang Xu smiled, then opened the beer cap and took a light sip.
After drinking it, Jiang Xu's eyebrows couldn't help but slightly furrow.
The taste of this beer is not ordinary at all, it can't be compared with those mainstream beer brands on the market now, no wonder even if it's sold at a low price, the sales volume has always been so poor.
Looking at Jiang Xu's appearance, Xiao Zi Qing's cold and beautiful face softened a lot, and between her gem-like eyes, a few faint smiles were revealed.
Then, Jiang Xu opened that bottle of Xiangyang old wine and also took a light sip.
In comparison, this Xiangyang old wine is much better. Jiang Xiang directly handed the bottle to Xiao Ziqing and said: "This Xiangyang old wine is not bad, the aroma is quite mellow, Ziqing, try it."
"Uh-huh."
Xiao Zi Qing softly responded with a "yes", then took over that bottle of Xu Yang's old wine.
For old wine, Xiao Zi Qing still has some research on it. After drinking a small mouthful, she said: "The aroma of this wine is really mellow, but the taste is a bit rough and not delicate enough. Compared to other old wine brands at the same price point, there won't be any advantages."
As she spoke, Xiao Zi Qing's gaze at Jiang Xu became even more curious.
She really couldn't understand what method Jiang Xu had to change the situation, simply public relations and sales were definitely not enough, it was necessary to fundamentally change the quality of the product.
Facing Xiao Ziqing's confusion, Jiang Xu's face revealed that mysterious smile again, and after taking over the bottle of Xiangyang old wine, he said: "Ziqing, close your eyes first."
Xiao Zi Qing didn't know what Jiang Xu wanted to do, but she still obediently closed her eyes.
Jiang Xuzhen directly infused a thread of soul force energy into the bottle of beer and old wine, and in an instant, the two bottles of wine emitted an extremely rich and mellow aroma.
After finishing this, Jiang Xu said again: "Zi Qing, it's done, now you try to taste these two wines again and see if there is any change."
Xiao Zi Qing had already smelled the fragrance of the wine, she didn't understand what happened, so as soon as Jiang Xu spoke, she hastily opened her eyes.
She took another sip of the wine that seemed to enthrall her soul, and Xiao Ziqing said with an incredulous expression: "What a wonderful and mellow wine fragrance! How is this possible? How can these two bottles of wine give off such an enchanting aroma?"
"You try it first, and we'll tell you later." Jiang Xu placed the wine in his hand in front of Xiao Ziqing.
"Uh-huh."
Xiao Zi Qing softly responded with a "yes", then picked up that can of Xiang Yang beer.
She took a light sip, and the wine's aroma seemed to permeate her soul. Although the taste was still somewhat astringent, it gave Xiao Ziqing an indescribably wonderful feeling, one that almost defied verbal description.
But there is one thing that Xiao Zi Qing can be absolutely sure of, at this moment the beer she is drinking is a hundred times more wonderful than any beer she has ever had before.
Then, Xiao Zi Qing picked up that bottle of Xu Yang old wine again.
She took another sip, and this time, Xiao Ziqing felt her soul was about to drown in the intoxicating aroma of the wine. Although the texture was still a bit rough, the flavor had become incredibly delicate.
Feeling the changes in these two wines, Xiao Zi Qing's clear and cold eyes had already burst forth with an incomparably dazzling and enchanting glow.
If Asahi beer and old wine can really have such an immersive taste and a fragrance that makes the soul tremble, then it's easy for Asahi Brewery to turn things around.
Even so, the future development of Xiangyang Wine Industry may be raised to an unimaginable level.
At this moment, Xiao Ziqing had already guessed the true purpose of Jiang Xu's acquisition of Xiangyang Wine Industry. No wonder Jiang Xu didn't worry about Yang Daming's threat at all. At this moment, almost all problems in front of these two wines were no longer a problem.
"Jiang Xu, how did you do it?" Xiao Zi Qing's voice was filled with a few parts of excitement.
"It's very simple, I just added a little bit of Chinese medicine that can catalyze the wine."
Jiang Xu smiled slightly, he had long been prepared with an answer, his identity as a traditional Chinese medicine doctor undoubtedly provided him with the best secrecy and disguise.
