Chapter 49 Qingming Festival
There is no airtight wall in the world.
Especially in a private enterprise like Xihai Company, where there are many people talking, news of large-scale death of eels in Xihai Company's eel breeding base spread like wildfire in the local area.
In less than two days, it spread throughout Ryukyu.
Naturally, Kagoshima Eel Company and Kailufeng Company, which had been secretly paying attention to Xikai Company, also received the news immediately.
In a small private room in the company canteen.
"Hahaha, so damn good!" Zhang Xincheng burst into laughter.
And Jiang Dahai was also smiling, gloating to Xihai Company without any guilt: "What retribution!"
"Dad, brother-in-law, just smile and don't choke." Jiang Miao reminded with a smile.
"If I couldn't drink, I would definitely drink a few taels to celebrate." Although Jiang Dahai hasn't shown it these days, he is still a little worried about the future of his son's company, and now he can finally let go.
Jiang Miao put a piece of roasted suckling pig into his father's bowl: "Dad, your body is the most important. Tobacco and alcohol are like poisons. You should try not to touch them if you can."
"Let me just say, I don't really want to drink." Jiang Dahai usually doesn't like drinking. In the past, he only drank a little when guests came over, but now he doesn't drink at all.
Zhang Xincheng ate a piece of barbecued pork, and then asked in a low voice: "Ah Miao, do you want to continue to buy goods next?"
"Well, keep pressing. When the news about Xihai Company is completely spread, it will be time for us to ship the goods."
Zhang Xincheng nodded: "Okay! Anyway, it's not bad for a few days."
Li Zhou, who had just come downstairs, had not taken a vacation these days, but stayed in the company.
I took a lunch box from the lunch box cabinet in the cafeteria.
Meals in the company canteen are packed in lunch boxes in advance to reduce queuing time during the meal preparation process and to facilitate distribution to employees at farms, breeding farms, and canneries.
Just as he was about to find a seat, he suddenly saw Jiang Miao walking out of the small private room.
Li Zhou walked over with a lunch box: "Boss, there have been a lot more farmers calling to inquire about prices in the past two days, especially those in southern Fujian."
"Don't rush, let the news ferment for a while."
"The boss is really good at knowing things." Li Zhou picked up a piece of pork chop and thought to himself:
‘The boss seems to have known something would happen to Xihai Company before, so he found someone to poison him? It’s unlikely, and the risk is too great. Wait a minute...’ Li Zhou was absent-minded, but he thought of a possibility:
‘Is it the secret formula? Was the formula tampered with by the boss? That's right, the boss would definitely not write the formula directly in the book. There must be some secret words in it that others don't know, but I didn't expect that the formula could also cause widespread death of eels. It seems that in the future, if someone comes to the company to steal secrets, it will probably take a long time. Weigh it up. ’
In fact, Li Zhou is not the only smart person.
Others in the company had more or less guessed that there might be a serious problem with the stolen formula.
…
Japan, Kagoshima Prefecture.
Inside the Kagoshima eel company's farm.
Looking at the large number of glass eels that had successfully hatched in the breeding tank, Watanabe Junichi smiled with satisfaction.
At this moment, his nephew Hirota Watanabe hurriedly walked in from outside, and then whispered in his ear for a moment.
Hearing this, Junichi Watanabe's eyes flickered, and then he smiled slightly: "Haha, this Jiang Sang is really secretive! He quietly brought Xihai Company to the brink of bankruptcy."
"President, several large eel farms in China have sent emails, hoping to cooperate with us." Watanabe Hirota added.
Junichi Watanabe shoveled a large piece of sea snow feed, put it into the breeding tank, and then said with a smile: "Reply to them and tell them that our eel fry have been reserved and let them wait for a month."
"Yes."
Naturally, Junichi Watanabe would not immediately give eel fry to these eel breeding companies. Did he know these guys? Some time ago, he asked a guy named Yamada to go to Ryukyu and secretly cooperate with Xikai Company to establish a fry company.
Although he must make money, he wants these eel farming companies to know who will be the boss in the next few years.
At least until other fry breeding companies figure out the artificial eel breeding technology, Kagoshima Eel Company and Kailufeng Company are the market monopolies.
As long as the first wave of dividends is taken, when other companies develop the technology, they will join forces with Hailufeng Company to sell eel fry and suppress the price.
At this point, Watanabe Junichi is very grateful to Xikai Company for the thunder, which made other companies trying to steal secrets or imitate become suspicious. In fact, other related companies that are concerned about eel artificial breeding technology were indeed taken aback by the tragic accident of Xihai Company.
Just three days.
All the 650 tons of mature eels in the 400-acre fish pond of Xihai Company have died, and there is no possibility of canning eels.
It's not that Wang Dafu and others haven't thought about selling eels to the nearby eel canning factory, but it's a pity that the owner of the canning factory is not a fool.
Almost everyone in Ryukyu is now aware of the large-scale death of eels in Xihai Company, especially those related to the industry, who know a lot of inside information.
This kind of eel dies very suddenly and in large areas. Which cannery would dare to accept it for canned eel, because the old man might be tired of living after eating arsenic.
There are even several eel canneries in Ryukyu. Because they have cooperated with Saikai Company before, they are worried about being affected. They quickly issued an announcement stating that they have not purchased eels from Saikai Company recently.
"Haha, is this the wall that everyone pushes against?"
Wang Dafu sat slumped in the office decadently. The office was filled with smoke and the ashtray was full of cigarette butts.
"Dad! Oh no, the bank requires us to provide a loss report for this accident, and also freezes our capital account." Wang Yongli walked in hurriedly.
"It's over! Everything is over!" Wang Dafu lit a cigarette again, his eyes lifeless.
Bang! Zhang Biao kicked in the door with a few younger brothers: "Wang Dafu, you have caused me to lose so much money, and I will never be done with you."
"Haha, Zhang Biao, what are you doing with me?" Wang Dafu spread his hands and asked with an indifferent expression.
"伱!" Zhang Biao clenched his fists, but did not dare to fight. He was actually just talking. It would be impossible for him to kill Wang Dafu.
This accident indeed caused huge losses to Wang Dafu and the others.
In order to breed eel fry as quickly as possible, they snapped up a large number of mature eels in the Ryukyu and Southern Fujian regions in the past two months, purchasing 573 tons of eels. The average purchase price of mature eels per ton reached 92,000 Chinese yuan, and they spent a total of 52.71 million Chinese yuan.
In addition to expanding the site, two hundred acres of fish ponds were added, and a supporting indoor breeding base was built.
Nearly 100 million was invested in it.
What is even more serious is that he has received a lot of deposits from breeding farms, which amounted to more than 20 million.
Then more than 70 tons of mature eels that the company originally cultivated also died, resulting in another loss of several million.
Although Wang Dafu has tens of millions in property, many of them are actually fixed assets, and his cash is only about ten million.
Those farmers and companies that had made reservations had brought people overnight to block Xihai Company, Wang Dafu and others, demanding the refund of their deposits.
This situation suddenly drained the capital chain of Xihai Company and Wang Dafu.
Now banks, equipment companies, and engineering companies are also worried about Xihai Company's repayment ability and require Wang Dafu to pay money as soon as possible, or provide the company's profitability, or increase collateral.
Just when a few people were making a noise.
A black shadow flashed past the window.
Bang!
"Ahh..."
"Someone jumped off the building!"
"Call an ambulance..."
"It's hopeless."
"Isn't this a shareholder of Xihai? Wang Dafu also wants to jump off the building, right?"
"No, everyone rush in and make sure Xihai returns the deposit to us first."
Wang Yongli quickly opened the glass window and looked down, and found that another shareholder of the company, a bald old man with glasses, had jumped from the building.
