Vol 3 Chapter 479: Hongmen Banquet (please subscribe)
After curing the eel, Li Duoyu also received the remaining balance.
Li Duoyu planned to return to Dandan Island immediately after getting the money, but he never expected that Mr. Zhang from Haixin Group wanted to treat him to a meal.
He actually invited the chef of the restaurant to come to the eel factory to cook. He also invited the uncle and Zhang Erhu to go to the canteen first and then sat down.
At Haixin Eel Factory, a total of three tables of dishes were prepared. Li Duoyu, his uncle, first cousin and second sister-in-law were all invited to sit at the main table.
There is one table for the key personnel and breeding technicians of Haixin Eel Factory, and one table for the remaining people from Dandan Island.
The luxury of Li Duoyu's dishes is beyond everyone's imagination.
The second sister-in-law was completely dumbfounded. She was so cautious that she only dared to sit halfway in the chair. She pointed at one of the dishes and asked in a low voice: "Duoyu, is that a bear's paw?"
Li Duoyu looked at the main dish in the middle, then nodded and said: "That should be it."
Even an uncle who has traveled all over the world is quite shocked when he sees this table of dishes.
There are burnt red bear paws,
pangolin,
Russula eagle soup,
Venison Stew with Anomatis
At first glance, the dishes on this table were specially arranged. There were not many seafood dishes. They were all wild game from the mountains, and all of them were the kind of delicacies that are very hard to get.
In this era, there is no concept of animal protection. To everyone, these foods are just delicacies.
But if it were done thirty years later, this group of people would probably be able to sit through the bottom of the prison.
Zhang Sanming pointed to a delicate "tofu cake" and said: "Director Li, this dish is a famous dish from our neighboring province, monkey tofu soup. It is very tender. You can try it."
Even without Mr. Zhang’s introduction, Li Duoyu could already guess what the dish was when he saw that little head.
well!
Li Duoyu can eat game, such as cobras, but your whole table is full of game. I really have no appetite.
However, the braised bear's paw is really delicious, and it is also the first time for Li Duoyu to eat it. The taste is definitely not comparable to that of pig's trotters.
It would be better if you could have a bottle of soda to relieve your tiredness. Unfortunately, what Mr. Zhang prepared was deer antler wine.
Not only their table, but also the other two tables were all filled with this wine. If Li Duoyu hadn't been to the Friendship Store before, he might have thought this was an ordinary wine.
But in fact, the price of this wine is very expensive, selling for 19.5 yuan, which is almost twice the price of Maotai.
Not long after everyone sat down, what surprised Li Duoyu was that besides them, there was actually a cadre from the county.
This well-dressed cadre carries a small briefcase under his arm and wears a low-key but well-fitting cadre uniform.
After this person arrived, Zhang Sanming and Manager Zhou stood up immediately, with smiles on their faces, and greeted him warmly.
“Chief Dong, you came at the right time. Director Li and I have just started. Let’s sit down together and have a drink.”
Li Duoyu has a vague impression of this person. I think I have met him twice, once at the advanced evaluation venue, and the other time last year when he was selling eels.
He should be Zhang Xianjin's follower, but Li Duoyu doesn't know the specific position.
When this person saw Li Duoyu, he immediately said hello: "Director Li, long time no see. I heard that you helped Mr. Zhang a big favor this time."
Li Duoyu also greeted him: "Hello, Section Chief Dong, Mr. Zhang and I have normal business cooperation."
"It's already a good thing to be able to cooperate." After Dong Mao finished speaking, he put down his briefcase and said, "I took the liberty to come here this time, so I will punish myself with three glasses of wine."
Zhou Yulong said quickly: "Chief Dong, I'll accompany you."
Li Duoyu smiled. He was not so stupid as to really think that Section Chief Dong had arrived suddenly. It seemed that today's meal was destined to be not simple.
Since the arrival of the cadre surnamed Dong, the atmosphere at the wine table has been stirred up, and Li Duoyu also had a few drinks.
I want to see what is so special about this deer antler wine that it is so much more expensive than Moutai.
However, after Li Duoyu drank a few cups, he felt a faint fever in his abdomen, a puff of dry air spurted out, and his blood circulation accelerated a lot.
No wonder this wine is so expensive. After drinking it, if there is no next game, it will be a bit difficult.
Just as Li Duoyu expected, when they were almost done eating and drinking, Mr. Zhang burped.
Suddenly extended an olive branch to Li Duoyu and offered very attractive terms.
"Director Li, to be honest, you really have the best skills in all the breeding companies I have ever seen. During the days when you helped us treat eel fry, I also asked the big boss of the company for instructions, and our big boss was willing to help us. One hundred thousand yuan to hire you as the general consultant of our Haixin Group’s breeding technology.”
After hearing the price, everyone present fell silent.
Second sister-in-law Zhu Xiuhua’s eyes widened.
One hundred thousand.
His brother-in-law just made 30,000 yuan, and now he is about to make another 100,000 yuan. Why is this money just like blown by the strong wind?
Section Chief Dong was also surprised by the consulting fee: "Mr. Zhang, you Haixin are really generous. One hundred thousand dollars."
Zhang Sanming said modestly: "It's not that we are generous, but that people like Director Li are so interested. They are really rare and cannot be compared to ordinary technicians."
When Zhang Xuejin at the next table heard this, his facial muscles couldn't help but beat. Although the food on their table was not bad, he really couldn't eat it now.
In fact, he is just a part-time worker, and the monthly salary he receives is only about 150 yuan, which is 50 yuan more than Zhu Xiuhua.
But the big boss is actually willing to pay up to 100,000. How many years will he have to earn before he can earn this kind of money?
Several other technicians were also very jealous, and a sour smell spread throughout their body and organs. The treatment gap between the two sides was so huge that it felt like they were being insulted.
Especially Director Li, who has only graduated from junior high school, and among their technical staff, the ones with the lowest diplomas are also technical secondary school students.
If he becomes the general consultant, then all the technical breeding personnel of the company will probably be managed by him.
Mr. Zhang said this on this occasion, as if he meant it to them.
The group of people who came with Li Duoyu were all dumbfounded, and they even couldn't believe their ears.
One hundred thousand yuan, is it so easy to earn?
However, what was even more surprising was that, faced with such a huge sum of money, Director Li did not directly agree.
“Mr. Zhang, I’m really sorry”
“I really want to make this money, but everyone should know very well that I am just a fisherman with no education, and this eel farming technology is not my own.”
Before Li Duoyu finished speaking, Zhang Sanming interrupted: "Director Li, if you feel that the money is not enough, I can continue to discuss with the big boss. Our company really needs talents like you."
Seeing that something was wrong, Dong Maocai also quickly raised his glass: "Director Li, don't be anxious, the matter has been discussed. Haixin Group is a key cooperative unit of our county, and its future development will definitely be very good, even if it is for the county. There’s a face inside.”
Li Duoyu smiled, I dare not give you the face of your boss, let alone you as a follower.
It's not possible to support someone from Ludao even if your own local industry doesn't support it.
Li Duoyu has also heard that Zhang Xianxian is not a member of the big leader's side. On the contrary, he is closer to Ludao.
It’s not because I contradicted him when I was selling eels last year. It turned out that the factions were different.
In this era, there are many factions and mountains, and it is very complicated, but Li Duoyu is too lazy to worry about it. He just hugs his thighs.
Spent 100,000 yuan to hire him as a consultant. It seemed like a good idea, but in fact it was all a trap.
If Li Duoyu agreed to this, he would be really stupid. It would be no different from selling his eel factory.
My core competitiveness is eel farming technology. If I were to serve as a consultant for you, with the little funds he has, he would not be able to compete with these big companies, and they would be swallowed up in minutes. Li Duoyu said ‘truthfully’:
“Mr. Zhang, Section Chief Dong, it’s not that I don’t want to be this consultant, I might as well open the skylight and speak out.
If you have to let me be your company's general consultant for breeding technology, it's not impossible, but the person behind me said so.
As long as your company is willing to exchange those core breeding technologies, especially the Oriental shrimp breeding technology, as well as the breeding technology of broodstock and shrimp larvae.
We will agree to exchange the entire eel farming technology with you, and we won’t even need the consulting fee. "
After hearing this, the smile disappeared from Zhang Sanming's face, and he was stunned for several seconds.
Their shrimp farming technology was imported from abroad at a very high cost.
It is no exaggeration to say that the shrimp farming industry is the foundation of their company, and eel farming is just a trial project.
It is absolutely impossible for the head office to exchange the entire shrimp farming technology with Li Duoyu and the others.
Zhang Sanming smiled awkwardly and said: "Director Li, this joke is a bit too big."
"That's right. When he told me about it, I thought the joke was too big. How could Haixin exchange the shrimp farming technology?"
Zhang Sanming frowned and said, "Can't we find another way to cooperate further?"
Li Duoyu said helplessly: "Mr. Zhang, I'm really sorry. I really don't want to lie to you. I just got lucky and met a noble person who was willing to teach me how to breed. I can't make the decision on many things. It's hard to say. "Yes, I have to hand over the money I spent to treat your eels when I go back."
Li Duoyu would not tell them that I handed it over to Teacher Zhou and asked her to buy a boat and a shop.
Li Duoyu continued:
"I really don't want to lie to you. Even if I agree to you today and get your consulting fee, if the incident comes to light, if the eel has a problem next time, if the teacher behind me refuses to help me, to be honest, My three-legged cat breeding technology is really not as good as the technicians in your factory who have majored in education, and maybe they are not even as good as Teacher Zhang.”
When Li Duoyu said this, the depressed technicians at the next table suddenly felt much more comfortable.
That Lin Youming couldn't help but whispered: "Damn it, what I guessed is indeed correct. There really is an expert behind this kid."
But Zhang Xuejin didn’t think so. He still knew how much Li Duoyu weighed. After all, the two of them were colleagues.
If he was really incompetent, his secret would have been exposed as early as teaching. There would be no way that so many students would skip other teachers' classes and go all the way to attend his class.
Zhang Xuejin sighed. He could not understand Li Duoyu more and more, and he could not judge which of what this man said was true and which was false.
Why is it that at such a young age, he looks like an old fox?
As soon as Li Duoyu finished his meal, he was ready to evacuate with his people. The other two tables of food were completely eaten, but their main table still had at least half of the food left.
Just walked out of the eel factory.
Cousin Li Shuguang let out a long sigh: "If I had known better, I would have sat at the next table. This is simply a Hongmen banquet. I was so frightened that I didn't even dare to use my chopsticks."
The uncle also smoked a cigarette, and he really admired the calm and composed nephew in front of him.
Li Shuguang asked: "Duoyu, that's 100,000 yuan. You didn't even think about it and just rejected it."
As soon as the cousin finished saying this, his father looked at him with disgust: "Do you have any brains? There is no difference between giving your technology to your competitors and selling yourself."
After his father’s reminder, Li Shuguang reacted: “If they learned the breeding technology, it would be useless to have many fish.”
After Li Duoyu and the others left, Zhang Sanming's face remained gloomy.
Seeing how angry he was, Section Chief Dong still conveyed the leader's message: "Our leader said that your eel factory has been listed as a key foreign exchange-earning project. Now our leader does not know that there is a problem in the eel factory. Mr. Zhang, You should understand what I mean."
Zhang Sanming said helplessly: "I understand."
“As long as you understand, I’ll leave first. After a while, our leader will bring the newspaper reporter to visit. I hope nothing will happen.”
After Zhang Sanming sent the people away, he then called the backbone of the eel factory and the several breeding technical experts to his office.
Zhang Sanming tapped his fingers on the table and asked, "You have been watching Li Duoyu for two or three days. Do you know the reason why the eel fry died?"
Several technicians frowned, and Zhang Xuejin said: "It is most likely caused by the gastrointestinal tract and water quality. Li Duoyu changed the water several times in the past few days while treating the eel fry."
Zhang Sanming roared: "What I want is extremely possible. What I want is the exact answer. What problem caused it? Will this situation happen again in the future?"
Being yelled at, Zhang Xuejin lowered his head instantly, not daring to look at the boss.
Lin Youming on the side said: "Mr. Zhang, I think that Li Duoyu must have a special medicine in his hand, and he poured it into the eel pond when we were not paying attention."
After hearing this, Zhang Sanming rubbed his temples. He really had a headache. For him, experts who cannot solve problems are no different from waste.
He looked at Zhu Xiuhua, suddenly smiled and said: "Xiuhua, your brother-in-law has also started raising eels recently. You might as well stop staying in Nanri Town during this period and go directly to your brother-in-law's eel factory to help. I'll Your salary will be directly raised to 300 yuan, and the dividend will be increased by two points. "
After hearing this, Zhu Xiuhua was indeed moved, but suddenly she remembered Li Duoyu's words: Capitalists' money is not so easy to earn. How much money they give you will let you do as many things as they want.
Zhu Xiuhua whispered:
"Mr. Zhang, I am a traitor. The village now calls me a traitor who cheats and cheats. Now my brother-in-law's eel factory is surrounded by a whole circle, and even I can't get in."
After hearing this, Zhang Sanming slammed the table and stood up on the spot: "Then what use do you have? Why should I spend so much money to hire someone who can only do chores?"
Seeing her boss getting angry, Zhu Xiuhua was so frightened that she didn't even dare to breathe.
After Zhang Sanming was angry, he sighed helplessly and said to Manager Zhou who was in charge of this project.
“I put my words here. We must succeed in this project no matter what. If the transaction cannot be successfully completed this summer, you should know the consequences.”
Manager Zhou’s forehead was covered in cold sweat. He thought he would feel more relaxed after this crisis, but unexpectedly, he became more and more tired.
If he had known it earlier, he would have been responsible for raising shrimps. Why would he raise eels here? This is simply a big pit. Maybe his future will be terminated by this eel factory.
Different from the chaos at the Haixin eel factory, the eel factory at Li Duoyu is progressing very smoothly.
From the selection of seedlings to the disinfection of red worms, every step is controlled very strictly.
This day is the ninth day of the Lunar New Year.
The uncle Chen Dongqing, whom he had not seen for a long time, finally appeared on Dandan Island, but as soon as he saw Li Duoyu, he began to curse.
“Duoyu, your uncle, what do you mean? Why won’t the eel factory door let me in?”
Li Duoyu said seriously: "Didn't your research institute terminate the cooperation with my Minlong company? Of course, you can't go in casually, or what if my secrets are leaked?"
“Damn it, Duoyu, you can turn your face faster than you can turn the pages of a book.”
Li Duoyu smiled.
“There is no way. In special times, I have to prevent others from secretly learning eel farming techniques.”
“Are you even guarding me?”
Li Duoyu said seriously: "If I give you one hundred thousand, will you betray me?"
Chen Dongqing thought for a moment.
“Probably not.”
“I believe you, you just blinked, but I didn’t know you kept blinking every time you lied.”
Chen Dongqing rolled her eyes at him: "That's one hundred thousand, everyone would consider it." (End of Chapter)
