Chapter 82: Adapting to Adaptations (Medium)
The next day, early in the morning.
At dawn, Zhang Xincheng, who drove a small electric donkey to the Yanding Breeding Base, said hello to security guard Lao Lin: "Good morning, Lao Lin!"
"Good morning, manager, Xiao Li has just brought breakfast." Security guard Lao Lin said while eating rice rolls with a pot of salty soy milk beside him.
"Eat slowly."
Before Zhang Xincheng's e-mule had driven five or six meters, there was an obvious sound of a gasoline engine running from behind.
Parking the e-mule at the charging station in the parking lot, Zhang Xincheng took out the car keys and was about to go to his office. When he turned around, he saw a police car approaching the door, and he raised his eyebrows.
I saw Yang Chenggang getting out of the police car with bloodshot eyes. When the other party saw Zhang Xincheng, he immediately smiled and waved: "Manager Zhang, good morning!"
"Yang Suo, what brought you here?" Zhang Xincheng hurried over.
"A case involves your farm. I have to go to the city later, so I'll make a long story short..." Yang Chenggang briefly told Zhang Xincheng what happened last night.
However, Yang Chenggang still mentioned Zhou Xiuqin's matter, hoping that Hailufeng Company would not embarrass the other party, and at the same time asked Zhang Xincheng to keep the matter secret.
Zhang Xincheng smiled and nodded: "I didn't expect things to turn out like this. Yang Suo, please rest assured. Amiao and my father-in-law are not unreasonable people. We will definitely give Zhou Xiuqin her temporary position at the strawberry greenhouse." Keep it.”
Immediately afterwards, Zhang Xincheng, together with Yang Chenggang and others, came to the monitoring room and copied the data from the five cameras on the side of the farm near the road.
"I won't bother you. I have to go to the city later, so I'll leave first."
"Yang Suo, walk slowly."
After watching Yang Chenggang get into the police car and then drive away, Zhang Xincheng picked up his mobile phone.
Jiang Miao was about to go to the laboratory with Shuya when his cell phone rang suddenly.
This mobile phone number is his home number, and generally only relatives will call him; while the office number is placed with Li Zixuan and will not be called directly to him.
After looking at the caller ID, it turned out that it was her brother-in-law. Jiang Miao answered the call and her brother-in-law called to tell him what had just happened.
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Miao turned around and said helplessly: "Aya, you go to the laboratory first, I want to go to the breeding farm."
"Okay." Shuya nodded and took An Ning and Li Wenna to the experimental area.
Jiang Miao asked Ke Yong to drive.
After a while, the pickup truck arrived at the Shiomachi breeding base.
He went directly to the manager's office of the breeding base. After knocking on the door, he opened the door and walked in: "Brother-in-law."
"Amiao, you're here." The brother-in-law scratched his hair, with helplessness on his face: "I didn't expect that things would take such an unexpected turn."
Jiang Miao shook his head and sat down: "No one can predict this kind of thing, but this time the town's response was really quick, and they actually took the stolen goods directly."
"That's because Big Bird's old mother reported him. Otherwise, no one except us would know about that kid's little tricks." On the phone just now, Zhang Xincheng didn't dare to talk about this kind of thing casually.
Jiang Miao was stunned when he heard this, and then he couldn't help but reveal a wry smile: "It's true that God is not as good as man."
"Now that the big bird has entered, it is a bad thing for us!" Zhang Xincheng also smiled bitterly.
It had been planned to paralyze those behind the scenes for more than half a year by adding materials to the wastewater.
Now that Big Bird has been arrested and the other party cannot get the waste water, there are only two options left: either give up stealing the confidential feed formula of Hailufeng Company; or choose to bribe the breeders in the breeding base.
According to what Yang Chenggang reported to Zhang Xincheng, during the preliminary investigation last night, although the person who cooperated with Big Bird could use Chinese, his account was a purchased fake identity. Judging from the chat records of both parties, there was a high probability that the other party was He is from Ryukyu, because this can be judged from the grammar and usage habits.
But the more troublesome thing is that the guy communicating with Big Bird is most likely just a chess piece.
The Shanmei police have planned to send a fake courier to the other party through fishing, to the address specified by the other party in Magic City, and then ask the Magic City police to assist in the arrest.
Regarding these matters, Jiang Miao listened for a while and did not pay too much attention to them, because it was difficult for him to interfere in such matters, and he could not interfere casually.
After a moment, his eyes narrowed slightly: "For the current plan, we can only use the previous backup plan. Brother-in-law, you should implement that plan as soon as possible."
"Okay, leave it to me." Zhang Xincheng nodded seriously.
……
Day three, afternoon.
The Shanghai police reported a case of theft of trade secrets.
at the same time.
On the other side of the sea is Pingtung County, Liuqiu.
In the office of the CEO of a large aquaculture and vaccine company.
"Trash, failed again." A fat middle-aged man cursed, then lit a cigarette and took a long puff:
"Hiss...hoo..."
While puffing away the clouds, he fell into deep thought.
A young man with yellow hair in the room kept rubbing his nose and said nonchalantly: "Boss, I think we still have to find a way to bribe the breeders of Hailufeng Company in order to obtain that confidential formula."
"Haha, do you still need to remind me? But Xihai Company has already done it once. Hailufeng Company must be on guard. Why don't we send you to the local area to find out the news? If it succeeds, how about I give you one million directly?"
"Huh?" Huang Mao was suddenly speechless.
Another young man with flowery arms in the room said with a smile: "Boss, you can't do it in secret. We can test it openly."
"Testing openly? Phew...it's interesting. Tell me about it, Big Crab."
The corner of Xie Xiaowei's mouth raised slightly: "Boss, as far as I know, that Hailufeng company is a sole proprietorship. All the company's profits belong to its boss Jiang Miao alone. Does Zhang Xincheng, who is responsible for managing the eel farm, have any intentions? Dissatisfied? ”
Since they want to steal secrets, these people must have investigated the internal situation of Hailufeng Company.
As for why they did not choose Kagoshima Eel Company or Brown Company as their targets.
The reason is also very simple.
The farm used by Brown Company to cultivate eel fry is located on a small island. In addition to the local indigenous employees, the management only has a dozen white people, which makes it difficult for any outsiders to land on the island.
The eel fry breeding farm of Kagoshima Eel Company is also on a closed island. It is very difficult to get the stolen feed out secretly.
Hailufeng Company's breeding farm is on land and surrounded by many residential areas, which provides room for operation.
The boss, who was puffing away the smoke, took a long drag on his cigarette, and then asked: "Are you sure?"
"I won't lose anything if I give it a try. Will the other party call the police and arrest me for this kind of thing?" Xie Xiaowei, with his colorful arms, looked confident.
"Then I'll give you one million..."
"Boss, is one million for me or for the other party?" Xie Xiaowei stared at the boss.
The boss was not angry because of this, and laughed and said: "Big Crab, as long as you succeed, you can get one million alone."
"Then it's a deal."
"Be careful, I don't know you if something happens." The boss reminded him very coldly.
"Don't worry! I don't want to go to prison." Xie Xiaowei didn't care about this kind of thing, picked up the cap and put it on, then pushed the door open and left.
……
In the past few days, Jiang Miao took the time to come up with a "new version" of a confidential feed formula.
Since some people are still obsessed with Hailufeng Company's confidential feed and eel artificial breeding technology, he also wants to give the other person some feedback.
This new version of the confidential feed formula can also achieve large-scale artificial breeding of eels, but it adds a lot of raw materials and replaces some cheap raw materials with high-priced raw materials, increasing the cost by hundreds of times.
Jiang Miao estimated that if eel fry are bred according to this formula, the cost of glass eels per kilogram will reach nearly 12,000 yuan.
And he also specially added some exciting stuff.
Although these powerful hormones can allow eels to successfully change gender and complete spawning and reproduction, the consequences are also very serious. One of the most critical side effects is that the eel fry will have congenital genetic diseases, making it difficult for them to survive more than four or five months.
Jiang Miao knew very well that after the painful lessons of Xihai Company, the seedling companies that secretly took action would definitely not take action immediately, but would secretly experiment first.
But it doesn't matter, Jiang Miao has already predicted their prediction.
From the moment the other party obtained this "confidential feed formula", he calculated the time. It would take about three months of experimental cultivation before the glass eel could be hatched.
Three months later, he immediately issued an announcement stating that there would be a major price adjustment for eel fry in six months. At the same time, he posted false news on the Internet, saying that this was to kill other aquatic nursery companies’ ideas of cultivating glass eels through large price cuts.
In this way, the guys who have initially verified the technology will face two choices.
One is to give up the production of eel fry.
The second is to speed up the production of eel fry.
No matter what they choose, Jiang Miao will win.
In order to speed up the production, there is no time to culture the experimentally cultivated glass eels for another four to five months to observe the situation.
The guy who will make this choice is most likely a person with a great gambling habit. Therefore, in order to make a profit, he will definitely purchase a large number of mature eels in a short period of time, and simultaneously purchase a large number of related supporting equipment.
After four or five months, those experimental glass eels died one after another, and the other party must have invested a lot of money.
Some people may think that these glass eels can also be sold to Europe and the United States. After all, Europe and the United States do not need to be cultured and are directly used for cooking.
Unfortunately, this was also in Jiang Miao's prediction.
Glass eels produced using the new formula will take at least two months to metabolize the remaining hormones and drug residues in the body.
The eel fry used in European cuisine are glass eels, not leaf eels that have grown for two months.
Even the black-hearted businessmen in Europe and the United States don't mind the hormones and drug residues of these glass eels.
Jiang Miao also has another backup method, which is to directly launch a price war to lower the price to the critical line of about 15,000 yuan per kilogram of glass eel.
After all, the cultivation cost of each kilogram of glass eels cultivated with the new formula is 12,000 yuan. Adding other miscellaneous costs such as equipment depreciation, labor, water and electricity bills, the comprehensive cost of each kilogram of glass eels will definitely reach about 15,000 yuan.
Hailufeng Company has lowered the price to 15,000 yuan per kilogram of glass eel. This price will make it impossible for companies using the new formula to make any money.
At the price of 15,000 yuan per kilogram of glass eels, Hailufeng Company still has a gross profit margin of about 12,000 yuan.
If the other party dares to follow suit, Jiang Miao will continue to lower the price until the other party goes bankrupt or gives up the industry.
After figuring out the new formula, Jiang Miao asked her brother-in-law to memorize the new formula.
Fortunately, after Zhang Xincheng went through a diet regimen, although he was not as effective as the brain-strengthening diet of Jiang Miao and his wife, he became much sharper and clearer. It took him two days to memorize the entire new formula.
At the same time, I tried several times in the batching room to strengthen my memory, and stored these new formula feeds in case of emergency.
…
In the blink of an eye.
Another four days passed calmly.
This afternoon, Zhang Xincheng was preparing to go home from get off work with a packed lunch as usual.
Suddenly, several people in suits and collars came to the entrance of the breeding base, saying they wanted to visit the Hailufeng Company's breeding base and prepare to purchase a batch of eel fry and Haixue feed.
Hearing this, Zhang Xincheng immediately became suspicious.
Inside the manager's office.
Zhang Xincheng asked with a smile while making tea: "How many of them are from southern Fujian?"
"Yes! Manager Zhang." Xie Xiaowei replied without fear.
"Where is Mr. Xie's breeding farm in southern Fujian? Why don't you go directly to our company's sales point in southern Fujian? If you just buy eel fry and sea snow feed, there is no need to come to Shanmei in person. Moreover, you are looking for the wrong place. The company's sales department is in charge of everything. I'll call the sales department later. If you want to buy, go to the sales department at our company headquarters!" Zhang Xincheng poured the other party a cup of tea.
Xie Xiaowei smiled, and the smile on his face became brighter, and then he answered the question nonchalantly: "Haha, Manager Zhang, your company has made hundreds of millions in the past six months!"
"Just earn some hard-earned money and drink tea." Zhang Xincheng picked up the tea cup.
"The money earned by Manager Zhang is indeed very hard. After all, such a large breeding farm requires you to work alone. If I were Mr. Jiang, I would definitely give Manager Zhang 10% of the shares." Xie Xiaowei provoked with a smile.
Hearing this, Zhang Xincheng was already eighty-nine percent sure that these guys were coming with bad intentions.
But whether it is yes or no, he will know once he tries it.
Then a forced smile appeared on Zhang Xincheng's face: "Haha...I'm just helping my brother-in-law. Talking about shares is too foreign. Let's not talk about it anymore. Let's drink tea."
When Xie Xiaowei heard these words, he felt ecstatic.
For more than half an hour, Xie Xiaowei kept talking about shares, dividends, family ties and the like.
Zhang Xincheng was also very cooperative and gradually showed his dissatisfaction with Jiang Miao and his father-in-law Jiang Dahai.
The other party obviously didn't know one thing, that is, Hailufeng Company had decided to promote share reform internally and motivate employees through virtual shares. Zhang Xincheng knew that as a veteran and Jiang Miao's brother-in-law, he would definitely be allocated virtual shares in the future.
Therefore, he was not interested at all in the millions mentioned by Xie Xiaowei.
But in order to trick the opponent, he must show greed and indecision.
Seeing Zhang Xincheng's hesitant expression, Xie Xiaowei knew that he had to strike while the iron was hot, otherwise if the other party regretted it, he might tell Jiang Miao about it, which would make it difficult to operate in the future.
He casually took out the tea box from his younger brother's hand.
"Manager Zhang, this is the high mountain oolong tea from my hometown. Please taste it."
While talking, Xie Xiaowei gently opened the box.
Zhang Xincheng stared at the red "tea bricks" in the box, as if he was possessed, his eyes were flickering, and he said: "This is too expensive, and you will not receive any reward for your efforts. Mr. Xie should take it back!"< br>
"Make a friend! Regardless of success or failure, I am determined to be my friend, Manager Zhang." Xie Xiaowei closed the tea box and pushed the box over.
"This..."
Seeing that Zhang Xincheng was still a little hesitant, Xie Xiaowei continued to add more money and took out a small box from the lining of his suit: "I heard that Manager Zhang's child has just entered elementary school, so this pair of bracelets will be my meeting gift."
Zhang Xincheng took the heavy box and found that it was a pair of solid gold bracelets. He glanced at the certificate on it and found that it weighed a full kilogram.
Obviously the other party spent a lot of money.
Zhang Xincheng's wife, Jiang Xia, manages a gold shop, so she naturally knows that gold bracelets are either large hollow bracelets or small solid bracelets, which usually weigh no more than 50 grams. They are too heavy and uncomfortable to wear.
Xie Xiaowei bought a pair of large solid gold bracelets, weighing one kilogram, and it was clear that he wanted to bribe him.
At this time, Xie Xiaowei was also thinking: To deal with this kind of bumpkin, he would have to spend real money directly. If he gave him a piece of Patek Philippe, or antique calligraphy and painting, he might not know the goods.
Both sides have their own agenda.
Soon Zhang Xincheng was "fallen". With a blush on his face, he put away the heavy gold bracelet and the large box of red tea bricks and put them in the drawer of his desk. Then he said with a smile:
"Xiaowei, you are so polite. If you have anything to do in the future, just ask. I will definitely help if I can."
Hearing these words, Xie Xiaowei knew that the matter was done, and he also laughed: "Brother Zhang, since you said this, I won't be polite to you. I have a big deal. I don't know how dare Brother Zhang Don’t dare to do it?”
"Oh?" Zhang Xincheng did not act too stupid, but asked with squinted eyes: "Xiaowei, are you thinking about eel breeding technology?"
"Haha, Brother Zhang, how much can you earn if you work as a manager here and work as a cow and horse all your life? One million? Or two million?"
"But that's my brother-in-law after all. It's hard to explain to my wife!" Zhang Xincheng said he refused, but his face seemed to be waiting for Xie Xiaowei to add more force.
Xie Xiaowei knew that the other party was not satisfied with the price, and was also worried about the consequences of the matter being revealed, so he smiled and said: "Brother Zhang, you know this and I know it, God knows it, so you make a price."
