Chapter 763: 758 This can’t be fake alcohol!

"Mr. Gu, what is the local selling price for your display liquor?"

The chairman asked Gu Chen directly at this moment.

He was very curious about how much this type of alcohol could sell for, as he had never had such experience before.

His first reaction at this point was not to mock Gu Chen.

Instead, he wanted to ask Gu Chen about the market for this sort of product.

And because of this question, Gu Chen’s opinion of him had greatly improved.

The chairman is truly worthy of the title, able to manage such a large enterprise.

His vision and insights are exceptional!

Completely different from those of the management level.

One could say there’s even a world of difference between them.

This also made Gu Chen more confident in their upcoming collaboration.

"Our small bottles of liquor sell for ten yuan each locally."

As Gu Chen finished stating the price, one could clearly see their faces fall silent at once.

"Then how much of this small bottle of liquor can you sell daily?" The chairman seemed not surprised by the price, but rather he turned around and asked Gu Chen.

"We can sell about ten thousand bottles of small liquor daily."

After Gu Chen answered, he saw the chairman furrow his brows and stare intently at Gu Chen as if he could not believe that Gu Chen’s product could actually sell for such a high price.

"Mr. Gu, are you saying you make this much money in just one city? Or are you involved in other cities as well?"

He proceeded to ask Gu Chen more questions, as if he wanted as many details as possible.

"Just in one city locally, we can now sell ten thousand bottles daily, and if we expand to other places, the sales volume should also be significant."

Gu Chen was very confident when it was time to be confident.

Even his composure seemed nonchalant, as if he didn’t take the matter too seriously, and this confidence also made the chairman recognize Gu Chen’s distinctiveness.

He could tell that Gu Chen was not a common man; whether it was his temperament or his manner, they were not something an ordinary person could achieve.

And in Gu Chen’s confidence in his own product, the chairman felt as if he were looking at himself from some years ago.

He remembered that at that time, he was fearless, always enthusiastic and confident in his own products.

No matter who it was, they couldn’t dampen his passion for his products and his company.

So at this moment, he even felt as if Gu Chen was like a younger version of himself.

The only difference was that he didn’t have as good a business as Gu Chen did back then.

Gu Chen could sell a whole ten thousand bottles of liquor each day.

Although he did not know how much profit Gu Chen made on each bottle of liquor, it was certainly an astronomical sum.

For Gu Chen to have made his business so successful at his age was very rare indeed.

He did not know the background of Gu Chen’s family.

For all he knew, Gu Chen could really be a second-generation rich kid.

But even if he were, what of it?

There are plenty of rich second-generation entrepreneurs in the market, to say they are as common as blades of grass wouldn’t be an exaggeration.

But how many second-generation rich kids truly manage to run a business successfully and with flair? Thus, he held no prejudice against Gu Chen and even felt that what Gu Chen was doing was quite impressive.

At this moment, the Chairman nodded in approval of Gu Chen’s undertaking.

He felt that as long as Gu Chen’s project was well-managed and no mishaps occurred, it should be completely fine.

So, in his heart, he already had an answer regarding the matter of cooperation that Gu Chen mentioned. He still believed it was worth a try.

After all, it posed no disadvantage to Maotai Liquor Company.

However, several members of the management team seemed to have their so-called concerns and were hesitant to take a definitive stand.

Dragging their feet, they were unable to express their position clearly.

"Alright folks, we’ve now got a good grasp of what we need to know.

No matter what, Mr. Gu is a major shareholder of our company.

I trust Mr. Gu certainly wouldn’t do anything to harm our company. So, let me be the first here to state my position.

I am very supportive of this initiative and hope we can further cooperate and have more opportunities to work together with Mr. Gu for mutual benefit,"

At this point, he succeeded in swaying opinion, taking the lead in expressing his stance to everyone present.

The other shareholders and members of management in attendance seemed unsure of what to say, hesitating on whether to agree to the proposition.

For them, the matter wasn’t trivial; if Gu Chen really agreed, what awaited them could be an endless struggle among shareholders.

"Mr. Gu, cooperation is not out of the question, but I need to ask you one final question. I hope you can answer me truthfully and not lie,"

one of the managers stepped forward and addressed Gu Chen, who felt as though this individual had harbored quite a few opinions about him from the start.

"I’d like to ask Mr. Gu, how much do you earn from each bottle of liquor?"

This was a very sensitive question, clearly business-related, and usually kept confidential, as such details are typically not disclosed.

Upon hearing this question, Gu Chen immediately furrowed his brows.

"Let’s not ask that. Instead, let’s find out how much the platform earns after a bottle is sold on our platform,"

suggested the Chairman, stepping in to defuse the situation for Gu Chen.

He was well aware that the collaboration had not yet begun.

And even if they were to collaborate, Gu Chen was under no obligation, theoretically speaking, to reveal how much one bottle could sell for.

This was utterly a business secret. If such information were disclosed and something unforeseen happened, it would be troublesome.

"I cannot be certain about other questions, but regarding the profit share, I can give you a guarantee.

For every bottle sold, your company can earn nearly two yuan,"

Gu Chen revealed the profit margin they could expect.

As he spoke, everyone present appeared incredulous. A profit of two yuan for just one bottle of liquor—what could the production cost possibly be?

Suddenly, they suspected Gu Chen might be selling counterfeit liquor.

Without delay, the Chairman took a bottle of the clear liquor, twisted off the cap, and took a drink, for the quality of the liquor could only truly be known by tasting it.

But when the Chairman finished his drink, his expression instantly changed.

The surrounding managers watched curiously, seeming not to understand what was going on.
