Chapter 203 Corn Beer

In the early 1990s, and even throughout the 1990s, the beer that really went international was still Qin Beer.

But at this time, except Qin Beer, in terms of beer exports to the Western world, breweries are actually standing on the same starting line.

Because, since 1989, about US$10 billion in loans have been shelved. Insufficient funds have led to the hindering of progress in related construction projects. At the same time, due to the sharp cancellation of overseas orders, a large backlog of products produced in China for the international market is accumulated.

"In 1986, in Chicago, the United States, China Export Commodity Exhibition and Negotiation Conference, Haizhu Beer was exported..." Jiang Yuanping said.

"But now, everyone is the same," Qin Dong smiled, "Our ginseng beer exports are affected, so they are not optimistic..."

"This year, the economic and trade exchanges between China and the United States have begun to thaw gradually, and they will still have to export goods in the future," Jiang Yuanping smiled. "However, recently, the third American beer importer, Wisdom Import Sales Co., Ltd., is going to visit the country. This is an opportunity, and it is an equal opportunity for you and Haizhu..."

The time entered 1991. This year, Sino-US relations further maintained a momentum of improvement, and important political exchanges between China and the United States increased significantly.

According to incomplete statistics, in 1991, five delegations from China visited the United States; at the invitation of China, former US President Carter and former Secretary of State Kissinger, Schultz and Heg visited China one after another, and several delegations visited China.

Due to this influence, beer importers with a keen sense of smell come to look for business opportunities.

"Senior brother, I understand," Qin Dong immediately understood the drum without heavy hammering, "What you mean, we must first develop new beer, and second, we must seize the opportunity of Wisdom Import Sales Co., Ltd. to visit China and enter the international market..."

"Eat the food," Jiang Yuanping smiled. The food was served. He picked up the cup. Yanshan beer sold very well in the entire capital. "In two months, can you add a new product?..."

Qin Dong's technical level is obvious to all, and Jiang Yuanping believes in him.

"The list of secondary companies is officially confirmed at the end of September. Take it quickly. If you develop it, you will have three products. The following is to seize the opportunity. Who can let Westom Company represent its own beer sales? It will be re-entering the US market..."

"Well, everyone in the ministry knows that you are my junior brother, I can't be too eye-catching..." Jiang Yuanping said sincerely and implicitly, meaning that he could only give advice and would not be favored on this. Qin Dong had to walk all the roads himself.

"Senior brother, I won't cause trouble for you," Qin Dong of course understood what he meant, and Jiang Yuanping also appreciated his point. "Actually, I have an idea for this trip, which is to plan to release new products on the product... Have you ever drunk corn beer?"

"Corn beer?" Jiang Yuanping pondered.

...

In the canteen of the Ministry, Minister Yang’s lunch was very simple. He picked up a piece of corn that had just been cooked at noon.

"This is what Jiang Yuanping's junior brother carries in the morning." Director Guan introduced with a smile.

"Corne, people in the north eat this. When wheat yields could not be increased in the early years, corn cakes were the staple food..." Minister Yang ate a bite of corn, "Well, the south was hit by disaster, and rice production declined. Well, can we use corn instead of rice?"

The corn is delicious. Before a piece of corn has been eaten, Minister Yang already had a thought in his mind, "The price of corn is much cheaper than rice. We can consider using corn instead of rice... See which factory and which research institute can develop corn beer and demonstrate it to breweries across the country..."

"Then we also need to encourage comrades from grassroots enterprises..." Guan Pingchao smiled.

Minister Yang thought about it, "No matter which beer company or research institute it is, the new products are listed as key supporting products in the department, and enjoy special investment in technical transformation..."

"How much?" Guan Pingchao asked with a smile.

"One million!" Minister Yang also smiled and raised a finger.

One million?

"Is it too much?" Minister Yang chewed a bite of corn. "Use the corn, don't compete with people for food, alleviate the tight supply and demand of rice and wheat, save foreign exchange for imported rice, and increase income for farmers. In terms of economic and social sense, it is worth one million!"

...

As Jiang Yuanping's junior brother, Qin Dong's appearance in the ministry was too dramatic.

The dignified factory manager walked into the department with two bags of corn, but Santanner and his brother shocked these cadres in the capital again.

Who has no friends or fellow villagers in the ministry yet? So, the news of Qin Dong coming to the ministry quickly spread to Guangdong. At the critical moment of the second-level enterprise selection, Guangdong has been keeping his eyes wide open.

The next morning, Ning Zhong, the leader of the Second Light Department of Guangdong Province and director of Haizhu Brewery, walked out of the airport with a short woman.

The woman has a square face and big eyes, which looks like the sister of the actor who played "Southern Boxing King". She looks like the standard southerner.

Who is she not Yan Bing?

Lao Wang, deputy director of the Food Bureau, has his office next to Jiang Yuanping. He was transferred from the Second Light Department of Guangdong Province to the Ministry and is very familiar with Director Ning.

"Lao Ning, can we not see each other for a year?" Director Wang smiled and held Ning Zhongze's hand. "Let's go short, let me briefly introduce the situation. Minister Yang proposed that you should develop corn beer. You don't know. Yesterday, Director Qin of Rong Beer carried two bags of corn on his own..."

"Do they want to develop corn beer?" asked the leader of the Second Light Department of Guangdong Province.

"Minister Yang said that no matter who develops it, it is listed as a key support product, and the other is to enjoy special investment in technical transformation..." Director Wang nodded.

"If Rong Beer can be developed, the probability of their entry into a secondary enterprise will be greatly increased." Ning Zhong looked at Yan Bing, who was very tactful and kept silent in front of his leader.

"Of course, but it depends on exports. The recent visit of Westom Company of the United States has been to China. You have had the experience of entering the international market before. You can seize it. I believe that if you do this, Rong Beer will not have a chance." Director Wang smiled and said, "Although Director Jiang is young, he is fair in his work. He will do everything in a fair manner."

"We produce rice in the south, but not corn," Ning Zhongze immediately made a judgment. "If we don't do corn beer, we will seize the Westom company and strive to enter the US market again."

"I mean that," Director Wang nodded. "The northern region has rich corn resources, and the southern region has rich rice resources. We cannot hit people with two fists. We must grasp the main contradiction. You can seize this Westom company. From now on, take the initiative to contact us. Besides, the technology of corn brewing beer involves not only beer brewing technology, but also agricultural deep processing..."

In the early 1990s, my country's deep processing technology was not good, and the oil in corn was difficult to remove. This problem was solved, as well as the saccharification and fermentation technology of corn beer, which was difficult to solve for a while.

Therefore, Director Wang gave a suggestion to make Haizhu Beer work hard to enter the US market!

"Foreign whiskeys are brewed with corn. In recent years, many countries, such as the United States, former West Germany, and Denmark have developed a new beer brewing process with corn as auxiliary materials, and the amount of corn used reaches 30% to 70%... However, Western countries will not transfer this new brewing technology to us. It took many years for people to develop corn beer technology. If Rong Beer wants to develop it in less than two months, I think it is difficult!!!"
