Chapter 738: Dukang Wine

Obviously, the three people who were instructing the country in Jiudu Veal Soup Restaurant had grown up and achieved most of their life goals. It is not to mention that Yang Xing and Zhang Shengli became successful. Even after this period of hard work in officialdom, Fan Wei's temperament and conversation have completely changed. He was generous and decent in dealing with people, and he was very leader-like. His expression was calm and steady, but he only showed a trace of true nature in front of Yang Xing and Kan Dongtian, indicating that he was quite flattered to be able to study at the Central Party School.

This time he was able to enter the Central Party School, not all thanks to Kan Dongtian. Although he was a little happy to succeed, he still found that this was a good shortcut to move forward after taking over Jiudu’s job. Because Jiudu’s economic growth has been rapid and its political status has improved in recent years, he has been frequently mentioned by central leaders as a model, becoming a treasure pot to attract surrounding talents and investment. Although he failed to go further in the Development and Reform Commission, he found that if he could make some achievements in Jiudu, he might not be able to go further and realize his dream of promotion.

So when he forced Yang Xing to help him invest in the construction of the urban rail transit system, although he was a little anxious, he really wanted to do something big. However, Yang Xing's shot and made a big move to solve the problem with the electric bus plan. Although it did not fully achieve his goal, it was lost and won the money. Jiudu was the first to adopt zero-emission electric buses in China, but unexpectedly attracted praise from environmental protectionists at home and abroad. Instead, it became one of the most worthy political achievements during Secretary Ma's tenure.

The concept of low-carbon and environmental protection is popular internationally today. Even overseas media, who have always liked to attack domestic environmental deterioration and poor pollution control, have found that Jiudu's experiment was a treasure after discovering that Jiudu's experiment was a treasure. As an example of a third-world country's bold attempt to protect environmental protection, it is highly praised. In recent years, China has also been vigilant about the harm of the traditional high-pollution exchange for economic high-growth model, so it is widely publicized by Jiudu's approach. Although most electric buses were actually donated by Yang Xing personally, Secretary Ma became a leader who frequently took photos of the interviews because of his support for this electric bus on the road, which added a lot of points to his files and increased his favorability to Yang Xing.

But what happened next made Mayor Ma very troubled. Although the electric buses are pollution-free and noiseless, as an emerging thing, there are actually many technical problems that have not been solved. Yang Xing originally intended to use them as an experiment, so various faults often occur. The first problem is how to charge. At this time, the itinerary of the all-electric bus is not as good as that of ordinary cars. If you want to travel all over the city, you need to set up charging stations in major locations in the city. In addition, the charging battery of the core component of the electric bus often overheats and fails. After running for a period of time, the faults frequently occur. Jiudu's original electric buses that were trial-run online were almost replaced by the original gasoline-powered vehicles.

Faced with this project of greatest political achievements since he was in power, Mayor Ma certainly didn't want it to be just a flash in the pan. The problem is that it is related to high-tech technology, and he doesn't have many good ideas. But he finally thought that the person who tied the bell was to untie the bell. Since these electric buses were donated by Yang Xing, he might have a solution. But Yang Xing has been running around abroad in recent years, and has been back home for a short time and has not returned to Jiudu for several years. His political pillar Kan Dongtian rose step by step, but he was a little unhappy with Yang Xing because of the rail transit incident, so he was embarrassed to ask him directly. He put his ideas on Yang Xing's friend Fan Wei.

He first promoted Fan Wei's excellent work performance in the industrial zone and took up the position of Secretary-General of Jiudu Economic and Management Committee. The full name of the Economic and Management Committee was Jiudu Economic and Management Committee. It was originally a comprehensive department that Kan Dongtian promoted all-round reforms in Jiudu and did not want many departments to fight each other. The second leader of each major functional department came forward to serve as a member. He could inquire and promote any major official duties. The only requirement was to speed up the approval of official documents and improve administrative efficiency. In fact, it was equivalent to the responsibilities of many cities' joint government affairs handling halls or the Central Development and Reform Commission.

Since this Economic and Management Council can manage everything, it is a very handy tool. Even if Secretary Ma took over Kan Dongtian's work, it did not cancel it. Instead, it became a good place for him to arrange his confidants. Now, letting Fan Wei, a hard-core young cadre in the Kan Dongtian team, serve as his secretary-general, is an attitude to the outside world. Yang Xing, who was overseas at that time, knew this signal from Fan Wei, and did not take it lightly, and personally gave instructions to relevant domestic officials. He ordered them to cooperate with Fan Wei to solve the problem of electric buses.

Fan Wei was not a young follower who could only obey Yang Xingyan. After receiving Yang Xing's financial and technical support, he was confident and directly contacted the branches of large state-owned enterprises such as CNPC and North China Power Grid. After some tangled and unremitting efforts, he finally got these enterprises and institutions to agree to build the first test charging network of new energy vehicles in China in Jiudu. The idea was to rely on the layout of the city's own gas stations, and to build fast charging piles and gas stations and other facilities in some of them, and gradually replace all buses in the city with low-energy consumption and low-emission new energy power such as pure electric, oil-electric mixing and natural gas, and also re-propose the Jiudu subway plan that Yang Xing intended to shelve. This time, he also learned from the practice of Shancheng Rail Transit to conduct international BT bidding, which saved the city a lot of budget.

As the main equipment provider of the new energy bus system, Zhongxing Group spent no effort to invest the graphene batteries, fast charging technology and hybrid engines that are still under development into this new energy bus system. After subsidizing a considerable amount, it finally basically replaced Jiudu's bus system.

Last year, this new energy bus system won many domestic and foreign awards such as the State Environmental Protection Administration, the United Nations, and the International Energy Agency. It is hailed as the representative work of New Century New Energy. Secretary Ma was promoted from mayor to secretary of the Jiudu Municipal Party Committee and vice governor as he wished. Fan Wei, who performed outstandingly, was also promoted to a department-level cadre. Jiudu wanted him to be the secretary of the municipal party committee of a county-level city under his jurisdiction. This time he came to the Central Party School with Kan Dongtian to study.

Yang Xing was very happy for Fan Wei. He encouraged him not to enter the business world, but now it seems that his efforts have finally paid off. Among the three old friends, Yang Xing naturally had achieved success and fame, and Zhang Shengli was also a domestic youth entrepreneurial idol. Although Fan Wei is not yet showing off, he is smooth sailing in the officialdom. Before he was thirty, he became a department-level cadre before he was thirty and was rare in the country. Recently, the trend of young cadres becoming increasingly young has been increasing, and many cadres at the department-level in their thirties and forties have emerged one after another. Since a precedent has been set, Yang Xing hopes that Fan Wei can join hands to enter the center of the world's political and economic stage when he is in his 40s.

During the chat, Fan Wei also made a request to Yang Xing. During his study at the Central Party School, in addition to strengthening his cultivation and theoretical level, he also cared about the city where he took the lead for the first time. He had a basic understanding of the specific situation of Yilin City, which was about to perform his duties, and had some worries about the trademark dispute of a time-honored product in the city.

This product has a great origin. It is the famous Du Kang wine named after the "Wine Master" Du Kang. Although there is not much evidence left in history, the technology of Chinese liquor fermented with grain is recognized as invented by Du Kang, a native of the Zhou Dynasty. It is said that his footprints are spread across the banks of the Yi River between Yilin in the Central Plains and Xinyang City. Du Kang winery has allowed the fragrance of wine to last thousands of years.

The current Dukang wine was actually founded after the founding of the People's Republic of China. Dukang wine in history has long lost its formula and production process after war and time has passed. However, the famous line "How to relieve worries, only Dukang" written by Cao Cao, who used the emperor to make the princes, has had too much influence, which has made the world never forget the name of Dukang wine. Dukang wine was restored and flourished. It is not only thanks to the brewing technicians in New China, but also to a Japanese friend, Kakuei Tanaka, because he "identifies the goods" that objectively promoted the revival of Dukang wine.

Kakuei Tanaka was the prime minister of Japan and was famous for understanding Chinese culture. In September 1972, he was invited to visit China and was warmly entertained by Premier Zhou Enlai. Premier Zhou invited Tanaka to the best wine at that time, but Tanaka was not satisfied and believed that "the only good wine in the world is Du Kang." Kakuei Tanaka's words attracted Prime Minister Zhou Enlai's attention. He immediately instructed relevant departments to resume the production of Du Kang wine, which was soon near Jiudu. It is said that Yilin and Xinyang, who were the former site of Du Kang wine, restored the banner of this famous wine.

But as Dukang wine became more famous, the economic benefits brought by it were envious. In order to compete for the Dukang wine brand, the two Dukang wineries were located in Yilin and Xinyang. In the 1900s, they slandered each other, and even went to court. This matter is actually a bit ridiculous. When Dukang made wine, who could tell which foot was in Yilin County and which foot was in Xinyang County? Since it was hard to tell the exact location of Dukang wine, where did Dukang wine come from? It is said that Dukang wine is also "authentic"? In the nearby Qinxi Province, it is said that there was also a Dukang winery in Dukang's birthplace. The three companies argued endlessly about this, but both sides suffered losses, which made every Yilin City leader very troubled.

In recent years, Dukang Liquor, the main profit-taxer of Yilin, fell into trouble due to its domestic sales decline due to internal consumption. The three Dukang wineries also realized that wine culture can only give the company soul and cannot give it vigorous vitality, and deliberately gave up the debate and joined forces to build the Dukang liquor brand. However, the serious regional protectionism and the local government behind it were unwilling to give up the Dukang brand's small calculation of various related economic benefits, which made several cooperation negotiations ended in vain. Fan Wei wanted to quickly open up the situation in Yilin, so he wanted to solve this difficult problem first.

In the book review, readers talked about wanting to read the text about liquor, so I wrote a few chapters here. Thank you for your attention!
