Chapter 361 The best era!

I have to say that in this era, not only are antiques easy to collect, but there are also a lot of old wines.

Of course, some popular brands of liquor, such as Erguotou and Tuopai, are not many old liquors, because the price of this kind is cheap, such as Erguotou one piece of 71 bottle and Tuopai one piece of 61 bottle, which ordinary people can drink directly when they buy.

However, some big brands of liquor have a lot of old wines. For example, Moutai, Wuliangye, Xifeng, Fenjiu, **, Yanghe, Dongjiu, Luzhou Laojiao, and Quanxing Daqu wines, usually those with slightly better family conditions will store one or two bottles at home.

After all, this kind of wine is a bit expensive and has a big brand. Some people buy it or give it gifts, but they mostly keep it and are reluctant to drink it.

This creates great convenience for Lao Na to collect this old wine.

Especially when Lao Na told Yang Jing that he had a childhood friend who was now an officer in the Yanjing Military Region and could receive some old wine hidden by generals or school officials, Yang Jing immediately made a decision to let Lao Na go and collect it.

Just kidding, the special wines in the military region nowadays are all good wines, which are much better than the wines sold on the market. Moreover, there is no fake in this era, so there is no need to worry about receiving fake wines.

Like Lai Mao produced in the 1980s, Lai Mao, which was created in the 1949 founding ceremony, was purely nonsense, and you could tell it was a fake wine at a glance. Although Lai Mao’s brand was founded in the 1920s, Lai Mao never produced wines called "Lai Mao" in the entire Guizhou Province from the founding of the People's Republic of China to 1988.

There are also many "people's commune wines" that appeared in later generations, "serving the people" and are said to be Moutai wines. In fact, there is no need to identify whether this wine is produced by Moutai wineries. Just look at the trademarks.

The trademarks posted on the so-called "Serving the People's Wine" and "People's Commune Wine" bottles basically have fragrance, alcohol content, and content. This is obvious that it is fake wine, nothing to say!

Why? It’s very simple. The indicator of net content was annotated only in the 1990s!

Did the so-called "serving the people" and "people's commune wine" produced in the 1970s and 1980s travel back from the 1990s?

There is a famous saying in the collection of liquor in later generations, "I am not afraid of old wine being expensive, but I am afraid of old wine being fake!" Compared with various fake old wines in later generations, in this era, let alone fake old wine, even fake wine is rare.

The people these days are still very simple. There is almost no fake wine to drink among the people, and it is even rarer to have fake wines in special supply wines for major military regions. I guess no one dares to provide fake wines to large military regions in this era. Those who catch them will be shot!

Yang Jing heard something his uncle said, if his uncle hadn't repeatedly promised it himself, Yang Jing would have thought he was listening to the myth.

This matter is about a military-level military doctor in a certain place giving gifts to the headquarters during the Chinese New Year.

Seven or eight years ago, when my uncle was busy with business in the south, he met a regiment-level officer who was professional in the local area. Before he was transferred, he was in charge of logistics work in this military-level military medical university affiliated hospital.

My uncle said that the big brother is very honest, and he has business dealings, so he gets familiar with him. Every time he goes to his place, the big brother will have a good drink with his uncle.

Once while drinking, the elder brother talked about his work in a military medical university affiliated hospital. He said that in the early years of the new century, local troops would send some gifts to the superior leaders of the headquarters in Yanjing during the Chinese New Year. Because the place where the hospital is located is very close to the origin of a famous wine, it would give this famous wine every year during the Chinese New Year.

The army is a place where there is no shortage of money, so although their hospital is just an affiliated hospital of the Military Medical University, it can also talk to the superiors of the General Command every year. Therefore, the number of famous wines they send to the General Command every year is calculated based on "containers".

In 2005 and 2006, the big brother was the officer in charge of logistics at this affiliated hospital, so he was mainly responsible for giving gifts. The big brother said that the price of the famous wine at that time was not cheap, and a bottle was more than 200, so wine made from pure grain was of course expensive.

At that time, the hospital only paid hundreds of millions of dollars for wine delivery every year. The big brother thought it was too luxurious, so he personally found the place of origin of the famous wine, spent 500,000 yuan a year in annual salary, and hired an old craftsman who retired from the famous wine winery from there.

This big brother told the retired old craftsman that your task is to blend it with edible alcohol and other spices. As long as you can blend the taste of this famous wine, you can get 500,000 yuan a year.

This kind of work is absolutely impossible for ordinary people, but for such an old craftsman who has worked in a winery for a lifetime, it is a matter of grabbing snails with three fingers - a sure thing.

It didn't take long for the master to blend the blended wine that tasted almost exactly the same as that of the famous wine. Even the old alcoholic who tasted that famous wine all year round could not taste the taste difference between the two wines.

Therefore, this blended wine became the main force in the military hospitals to give gifts. It was replaced with the packaging bottles of famous wine, stuffed it into the container, and sent it directly to the headquarters.

The cost of this blended wine is much cheaper than the famous wine produced in the winery. This alone can save nearly 100 million yuan in funds every year!

My uncle didn't believe it at the time and asked the big brother, "Are you afraid that your superiors will drink it and pick you up?"

What the big brother said was very simple, but it was also very real. Although our wine is also a famous wine, it is still a certain gap compared with the more famous wines of Mao, Wu and Luzhou. Twenty or thirty years ago, some leaders in the army liked to drink this kind of wine, but now the leaders have very few drinks this kind of wine, and they have gone with Mao, Wu and Luzhou. In other words, if we send this wine, those big leaders basically won’t drink it.

Sure enough, after working like this for three years, there was no accountability. However, the elder brother was very convinced that he had made such a great contribution to the hospital and saved so much money, so he had to mention it up? As a result, the elder brother was directly transferred...

(PS: This is a real thing. The story told by Yang Jing’s uncle in the book is actually something Lao Mo experienced personally, but Lao Mo will not state which military doctor and which famous wine it is. Please forgive me.)

When my uncle told Yang Jing about this at first, Yang Jing didn't believe it, but later as he knew more and more, he couldn't believe it even if he didn't believe it.

The Chinese military system is independent. People outside cannot access the inside, so it is natural to not know about such things.

In later generations, even the eighth and the army dared to fool the Communist Party, the Communist Party, and the party, so what else can you dare not make fake wine?

Fortunately, in this era, there was no such thing, and it was not the time when fake wine and blended wine were popular.

Especially the special wines in the military region in this era are genuine and good wines. As long as you can receive them, they are definitely worth collecting!

Lao Na has this kind of relationship. Yang Jing is not short of money. If the two are good, they will definitely receive many famous wines and old wines.

After staying in time and space in 1986 for a few days, I saw the old man pulling back the famous wines and wines, which really made Yang Jingle bad.

Most of the old wines brought by Lao Na were collected from the courtyards of major military regions in Yanjing. I won’t talk about Maowulu and Luzhou. There are also many famous wines such as Jiannanchun, Dongjiu, **, Yanghe, Fenjiu, Xifeng, etc., and many of them have a history of nearly ten years.

It’s no wonder that the turmoil ended in 1976, and many leaders who were persecuted in the turmoil era slowly returned to their original positions. It is normal for some subordinates to send wine to the old leaders to celebrate. It is not surprising that these old wines have been saved so much.

Lao Na’s acquisition price is quite high. Take Moutai as an example. The retail price of Moutai is now eight yuan plus one hundred and two overseas exchange coupons, but Lao Na directly uses foreign exchange coupons to collect it, and a bottle of Moutai will directly give twenty foreign exchange coupons.

This acquisition price is definitely a conscientious price. Now on the black market in Yanjing, twenty US dollars of foreign exchange coupons can be exchanged for almost two hundred yuan!

As for wines such as Wuliangye, Luzhou Laojiao, Lao Na’s price is not low, and they are all twice as high as the retail price on the market!

It is not illegal to collect alcohol. Lao Na received foreign exchange coupons openly, and the purchase price was so high that no one was idle and went to report Lao Na.

Therefore, in just a few days, Lao Na collected more than 10,000 bottles of various old wines and famous wines. Among them, Maotai liquor produced in the 1950s was sold at a sky-high price in later generations, while Lao Na collected more than 10 bottles and three bottles of Maotai liquor before liberation!

In the 1960s and 1970s, Maowulu, Fenjiu, Xifeng, **, Yanghe, and Laona also collected a few hundred bottles, and the remaining wines were mostly produced in the late 1970s and early 1980s.

If this is thirty years later, if you want to buy more than 10,000 bottles of wine, let alone old wine, even if it is a newly-made wine, it will not be able to get it without tens of millions.

But in this era, Yang Jing only paid 100,000 foreign exchange coupons and more than 30,000 yuan in cash and it was all solved!

After picking these wines, after the museum opens, an old wine exhibition hall can be established! Although Zhao Chen, a famous Moutai liquor collection expert, collected more than 10,000 bottles of Moutai liquor, and Mr. Liu from Pengcheng, also collected more than 30,000 bottles of Moutai liquor, even more than the Moutai wine collection museum.

But if Yang Jing wants to, he will start collecting wine from now on. After taking over the Dragon Fund in the future, he will definitely receive much more wine than the first two teachers!

After all, Yang Jing has a skill that goes against the will of heaven and has the advantage of being foresight. Who can compare with him when it comes to storing wine on this planet?
