Grand Opening of KKL Liquor Retail Store in Dadeng
金酒大嶝專賣店盛大開幕
    In  order  to  penetrate  (1)  into  the  China  market,  "Xiamen  Dadeng  Taiwanese  Small-Scale  Commodity  Trading  Market  Kinmen  Liquor  Retail  Store"  (the  third  direct  distribution  point  set  up  by  Kinmen  Kaoliang  Liquor  Inc.-KKL-  in  Xiamen),  held  a  grand  opening  on  April  7.    Magistrate  Li,  Wo-Shi  (李沃士),  Council  Speaker  Wang,  Zai-Sheng  (王再生),  and  many  officers  from  China  attended  this  event.    Magistrate  Li  hoped  that  KKL  Xiamen  Branch  can  achieve  extraordinary  sales  performance  and  reach  the  sales  target  of  two  hundred  million  RMB,  and  ultimately  make  the  aroma  (2)  of  Kaoliang  Liquor  spread  wildly  on  both  sides  of  the  Strait.
    為了深耕大陸市場,金門酒廠在廈門開設的第三家直營店-「廈門大嶝對台小額商品交易市場金酒專賣店」7日盛大開幕,包括縣長李沃士、議長王再生、議員與大陸多位領導都到場參加。李沃士期許,廈門分公司今年能夠創下佳績,將營業額提升到二億人民幣,讓金門高粱酒真正飄香兩岸。
    During  his  speech,  Magistrate  Li  said  that  KKL  has  previously  opened  two  direct  distribution  points  on  Xiahe  Road  and  Gao-Qi  International  Airport  respectively.    This  time,  KKL  Xiamen  Branch  decided  to  set  up  the  third  direct  distributor  in  Xiamen  Dadeng  Taiwanese  Small-Scale  Commodity  Trading  Market  so  that  more  people  in  China  can  enjoy  their  products,    and  be  exempt  from  (3)  the  fear  of  obtaining  counterfeit  (4)  liquor.    In  addition,  the  pricing  in  Dadeng  Retail  Store  is  more  affordable  so  it  may  attract  more  people  from  outside  the  Xaimen  Island  to  visit  and  make  purchases.  
    李沃士在致詞時表示,金酒廈門公司在廈禾路、高崎機場都有直營店,此次選在廈門大嶝對台小額商品交易市場開設第三家直營店,就是希望讓更多的大陸朋友,可以買的安心、喝的更安心。此外,在大嶝專賣店所購買的酒品價格也比較便宜一些,希望多吸引島外的民眾來此購買。
    Magistrate  Li  said  that  in  Taiwan,  Kinmen  Kaoliang  Liquor  is  well  received  by  President  Ma,  Ying-Jeou  and  several  high-profile  officials.    During  the  past  Chiang-Chen  Meetings,  Kinmen  Kaoliang  Liquor  was  also  used  as  the  official  alcoholic  beverage  as  well  as  gifts.    All  these  have  made  it  possible  for  Kinmen  Kaoliang  to  dominate  with  80%  market  share  in  Taiwan.    He  further  added  that  the  annual  sales  of  KKL  Xiamen  Branch  have  reached  100  million  RMB  last  year,  and  hopefully  the  annual  sales  can  break  through  200  million  this  year.
    李沃士說,金門高粱酒在台灣,受到總統馬英九與政府高層的愛用與支持,歷次「江陳會」,也都將高粱酒當作餽贈禮品及會場用酒,各界的愛護,讓高粱酒在台的市佔率達到八成;他也提及,去年廈門分公司的營業額是一億人民幣,希望今年能突破躍進到二億。
    Council  Speaker  Wang  said  that  with  a  mother  who  is  originally  from  Xiaodeng  and  an  aunt  who  is  a  current  resident  of  Dadeng,  he  has  always  had  a  special  emotional  connection  to  Dadeng.    Wang  also  hoped  the  opening  of  this  direct  distribution  point  will  not  only  increase  the  sales  of  KKL,  but  also  promote  prosperity  for  Dadeng.
    縣議會議長的母親是小嶝人,目前阿姨還住在大嶝,他對大嶝有獨特的情感。王再生也期許直營店開張後,可以創造金門的高營業額,以及繁榮大嶝的經濟。
