Chapter 1479 The Brewery in Kagoshima(1/2)
On Saturday, January 22, at night, Kagoshima Prefecture, Kagoshima Branch.
Shiraishi Aoshi, Shiraishi Fumiko, and Tatsumura Shinsuke drove two cars, one car and one five-door car, and the group of eleven people could not be filled with Maori.
Fortunately, it is usually time-saving to take a ferry from Kagoshima City to Shirai Port, and Yachi Port is nearby, so Ran took Maori to take a bus, and the others walked with Shirai Fumiko.
On the way, Shiraishi Fumiko talked about some things about Takakuma winemaking. Simply put, it is the shared woe of unity when starting a business. When there are some achievements in the career, we cannot work together to share the same joys...
Yachi Port.
Because this unexpected journey to Takakuma Sashimi disrupted the fixed itinerary for Yamazaki and others to take a boat to Seed Island, Yamazaki booked an ultra-high-speed boat to avoid delaying too long and too late in Takakuma Sashimi....
Chuishui City, Chuishui Port.
Takakumajima built a van, and finally took Maori and his group to Takakumajimajimajimajimajimajimajimajimajimajimajimajimajimajimajimajimajimajimajimajimajimajimajimajimajimajimajimajimajimajimajimajimajimajimajimajimajimajimajimajimajimajimajimajimajimajimajimajimajimajimajimajimajimajimajimajimajimajimajimajimajimajimajimajimajimajimajimajimajimajimajimajimajimajimajimajimajimajimajimajimajimajimajimajimajimajimajimajimajimajimajimajimajimajimajimajimajimajimajimajimajimajimajimajimajimajimajimajimajimajimajimajimajimajimajimaji
Takakuma winemaking covers a small area, with more than a dozen employees, and is a standard home workshop.
"We're here, this is Takakuma's winemaking."
Shiraishi Aoshi briefly introduced the main employees of Takakuma Liquor Manufacturing, history and achievement awards, founded by his father, famous in the prefecture, and famous in Kyushu.
Yamazaki said: "Mideko, Yuanko, come and share your opinions."
"Me?" Mei Daizi was stunned.
"What does it mean?" Yuanzi asked.
Yamazaki smiled and said, "Just say, how do you think this winemaking will succeed in developing."
"So that's it, this is also a priceless treasure." Dr. Agasa smiled.
"No," said Tatsumura's specialist, "this doesn't count. You don't need to say these things at all."
"It's up to us whether we say it or not, whether we listen or not." Yamazaki said.
The specialist in Tamura sneered: "Hmph, you have never even attended college at your age."
"Tsk, only the expert's information is worth showing us." Yuanzi said angrily.
"Don't worry, if most people here don't think what we said, the help to Takakuma winemaking can offset the three-year bottle of Tatsumura specializing in your bottle, even if we lose." Yamazaki said, "We will not care about Uncle Maori at that time."
"Okay, one word is certain." Chencun said.
"Come on, whoever throws the bricks and attracts the jade first?" Yamazaki said, "Mideko, you come first."
"Oh." Mei Daizi thought for a while and said, "Build a winemaking company, first of all, technology."
"They don't lack this," Yamazaki said.
"Then, the second is the formula." Meidaizi said.
"By the way, it's the recipe." Yuanzi smiled. "Only a good recipe can make good wine. Good wine can be sent to the ratings. Only by getting a good ranking can you become famous all over the world and you won't have to worry about no sales."
"Ha, this is all nonsense." Chencun specialist said angrily, "A step into the sky is simply a delusion."
"Say, that's right." Yuanzi smiled dryly.
Yamazaki said: "For handmade wine making, other people's recipes are always someone else's, and the recipes that suit you need to be constantly explored."
"By the way, it's the material." said Medako. "Select suitable materials, such as organic Takami sweet potatoes made from Takakuma wine, and Takakuma spring water, and then experiment a lot to find the successful ones from the finished product."
"That's right," Supervisor Aoda, who was in his sixties, couldn't help but sigh, "It was like this we brewed glutinous rice when we first started, dreaming of brewing glutinous rice with the flavor of Takakuma Mountain, so that the taste of our hometown can spread all over the world. Unfortunately, over the past 30 years, our glutinous rice has not yet won the championship in the national wine tasting party."
"Yes, yes," said Meidaizi. "Narrow no one can brew unparalleled wine at once. Each wine inscription represents the formula and craftsmanship of a wine. The brewer needs to constantly explore and improve it, consume money, and more importantly, consume time."
"It takes a few months to brew wine at a time, and a few years to make it, that is, it takes several years to know whether it has been successful."
Shiraishi Fumiko said: "It took several years for Edison to experiment with filaments, and we took decades."
Chencun specialist said: "These are nothing, they are just common sense in winemaking."
"Don't be anxious," Yamazaki said, "I'm a little patient and will talk about how you made it from Takakuma's wine."
"By the way, I understand." Yuanzi smiled, "As long as there is funds..."
Chencun specialist said: "It's so funny. If we have funds, we won't be quarreling."
"Let me finish." Yuanzi smiled, "Didn't Takakuma Yakini be famous in Kyushu? You can create a lot of profits by just mass production."
"The problem is that we drink to make these people, and we really don't have the ability to increase production." Shiraishi Juezhi said.
"Just use the machine, you don't have to build a factory by yourself, you can find someone to process it on your own." Yuanzi said.
The specialist in Tamura smiled happily and said, "Ha, look, it's my solution in the end."
"No, that will reduce the quality of Takakuma's oxidation." Shiraishi said angrily, "Don't talk about this kind of thing."
"Really, I won't re-register a trademark," Yuanzi complained. "You need to have high-end products, but you need to have low-end products."
"Look, look," Chencun asked, "I have said this, right? This is the normal business model. Why can't your brain turn around?"
"Whether it is stubborn or rigid," Shiraishi Satoshi said sternly, "It is our persistence that Takakuma Yoshio has come to this point today."
Tatsumura shouted: "But, have you ever thought that your persistence will ruin Takakuma's ox."
"No," said Shiraishi Fumiko, "If it doesn't work for three years, if it doesn't work for ten years, if it doesn't work for ten years, as long as we persist, Takakuma's yaki will one day become famous all over the world."
"Just, don't talk about three years, it's a question whether this year can be passed." Chencun specialist said, "In view of this year, even if you stop product improvement, you may not be able to make enough profits, because as the rules ease, many wineries use machines for large-scale production, and then a large amount of burnt will saturate the market."
Supervisor Echikawa Shouda snorted coldly: "How can such a burnt pot be compared with our handicrafts?"
"Don't be self-righteous." Tatsumura said, "You really think Takakuma yaki is so high-end, including the taste of Takakuma Mountain? It's a big mistake. That's just a psychological one. In terms of taste, ordinary people can't taste it at all. How different is it from the burnt jelly produced by machines."
"Most consumers don't understand what's good about Takakuma yaki, and the cost of Takakuma yakiki won't be reduced at all. At that time, your Takakuma yakikiki won't be sold. Can you still use it as money?"
"If you don't have money, you can't get your salary. If you can't get your salary, can you get full by drinking it?"
The employees all lowered their heads, and Shiraishi Fumiko shouted: "Takamura specializes in it, don't exaggerate here."
"I'm exaggerating?" Tatsumura smiled anxiously, "Tell you that over the years, I have relied on this sense of smell to make Takakuma Liquor Manufacturing have sufficient funds to pay and improve products."
"Yes, we have always been grateful for you." Shiraishi Juezhi said, "My father told me before his death to remember your goodness."
When talking about the former president who died, Tatsumura's specialist attitude became a little soft, "You are just saying it, and you don't trust my judgment at all."
"It's not that we don't trust you, we have our persistence." Shiraishi Satoshi said, "I believe that we will definitely be able to overcome this barrier. Takakuma Liquor Industry will continue to exist for a long time."
"Natural." Tatsumura snorted coldly.
"Well," Yamazaki said, "Sorry, President Shiraishi, I'm sorry for saying a few bad words. I think you are really wrong. You underestimated the power of the rule easing. This is not a natural adjustment of the market. This is the country forcibly changing the market rules. If it cannot adapt to this rule, there is only one outcome, that is, it is to be eliminated."
"Stop talking, it's not that he doesn't understand, he just stubbornly thinks he can do it." said Tatsumura's specialist.
"I'm embarrassed to say what I just said is a priceless treasure." Yamazaki said, "Mideko, Yuanko, let's continue to take the pulse of the development of Takakuma winemaking."
"Well," Yuanzi said distressedly, "Takakuma winemaking requires money but no money, no one, why don't you help it raise funds."
"The success of brewing lies mostly in luck, and it's not possible to grasp it." Yamazaki said, "The risk is too high, this is the worst."
Meidaizi said, "That's true, brother, what's the best way?"
"Give me a tip," Yamazaki said, "You just said that the recipe for winemaking requires materials and craftsmanship, and it is constantly explored."
"So what?" said Yuanzi, "I always have to try one by one."
"Wait, I want one," Meidaizi smiled. "We can use modern equipment to assist, such as building a production process model on a computer, and then analyzing successful and failed data to find key problems, which can save a lot of time and cost."
"Computer?" Everyone made by Takakuma Sausage was stunned.
"It's a good idea," said Yuanzi. "But it also costs a lot of money. At least one studio is needed and people are summoned."
Meidaizi said: "You can go to research institutions, such as universities."
"Oh, if you say that Medeko," said Yuanzi. "Then you can start with the materials and take them one by one to test them."
"Very good, that's it." Yamazaki said, "I'm thinking of this." Then he said to Shiraishi Aoshi, "From your equipment, you can only check the water quality at most to ensure that the water source is above the drinking water standard, so as not to make people feel stomachache when brewed. You may never have thought of using scientific instruments to detect sweet potatoes, but just select sweet potatoes based on experience."
"Yes, you're not right." Supervisor Zeichi Zoda sighed, "In the age of science, we still use experience to estimate that we can't keep up with the times."
"It's my fault if you don't say that." Shiraishi Satoshi said, "As a young man, I haven't brought new vitality to Takakuma's Saitai."
"Ha, it seems that I solved the problem." Yuanzi smiled.
Meidaizi retorted: "Hey, it's my words that remind you."
Yamazaki asked, "Now, Tatsumura specialist, do you think these wines that can offset your priceless bottle?"
"Not enough, not enough." said Tatsumura.
"Tencun specialist, don't bother you anymore," said Shiraishi Juezhi. "Their opinions are priceless for us."
"No," said Tatsumura's specialist, "in the long run, it may be useful, but in the short run, it still has not solved our problem."
"Indeed," Yamazaki said, "In the situation of easing rules, it is the worst way to borrow to expand manual production, because the brewing costs are still high, and it is very likely that Takakuma Winemaking will be closed due to debt due to sales problems; and using science and technology to digitize the brewing process is the midst of strategy, because no one can be sure that some achievements will be made in the short term, and the cost of using science and technology may become a drag on Takakuma Winemaking."
"Yes, it's best to only mass production of machines. Although it is cost-bearing, it will immediately turn into profits, which is a close profit." Chencun said, "I actually don't oppose hand-brewing, but the premise is that the national-level top wine brewed will not have to worry about sales at all."
Yamazaki sighed: "You are right, but this is just a matter of making Takakuma wine."
"What does it mean?" Tamura specialist was stunned.
Yamazaki asked: "President Shiraishi, what do you think?"
"I, this..." Shiraishi Juezhi didn't know what to say for a moment.
