Chapter 83: Adapt to changing circumstances (Medium Cup) (Ch 811684288)

The next day, early in the morning.
At dawn, Zhang Xincheng, who drove his electric donkey to the Yancheng breeding base, greeted the security guard Lao Lin: “Lao Lin, good morning!”
“Manager, good morning. Xiao Li just brought the breakfast.” Security guard Lao Lin said as he ate rice rolls with a pot of salty soy milk on the side.
“Eat slowly.”
Before Zhang Xincheng’s electric scooter had driven five or six meters, the obvious sound of a gasoline engine running was heard from behind.
After parking his electric scooter 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 at the door and raised his eyebrows.
Yang Chenggang, with bloodshot eyes, got out of the police car. When he saw Zhang Xincheng, he smiled and waved, “Manager Zhang, good morning!”
“Captain Yang, what brings you here?” Zhang Xincheng hurried over.
“It’s a case involving your breeding farm. I have to go to the city later, so I’ll make it 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 make things difficult for the other party. He also asked Zhang Xincheng to keep the matter confidential.
Zhang Xincheng smiled and nodded, “I didn’t expect things to turn out like this. Yang, please rest assured that A Miao and my father-in-law are not unreasonable people. We will definitely keep Zhou Xiuqin’s temporary job position in the strawberry greenhouse.”
Immediately afterwards, Zhang Xincheng cooperated with Yang Chenggang and others and went to the monitoring room to copy the data from the five cameras on the side of the farm close to the highway.
“I won’t bother you anymore. I have to go to the city later, so I’ll leave first.”
“Sir Yang, take care.”
Only after watching Yang Chenggang get into the police car and drive away did Zhang Xincheng pick up his cell phone.
Jiang Miao was about to go to the laboratory with Shuya when his cell phone suddenly rang.
This mobile phone number is his home number, and generally only relatives will call him; the office number is with Li Zixuan and will not be called directly.
After checking the caller ID, it turned out to be his brother-in-law. Jiang Miao answered the call, and his 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 have to go to the 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, knocked on the door, and then pushed it open and walked in: “Brother-in-law.”
“A Miao, you’re here.” My brother-in-law scratched his hair, his face full of helplessness: “I didn’t expect things to turn out this way.”
Jiang Miao shook his head and sat down: “No one can predict this kind of thing, but this time the town’s reaction was really quick, and they caught the criminal red-handed.”
“It was Big Bird’s old mother who reported him. Otherwise, no one except us would know about that kid’s little tricks.” Just now on the phone, Zhang Xincheng didn’t dare to talk about such things casually.
Jiang Miao was stunned when he heard this, and then he couldn’t help but let out a bitter smile: “It’s true that man proposes, God disposes.”
“Now that the big bird has gone in, it’s actually a bad thing for us!” Zhang Xincheng also smiled bitterly.
It was originally planned to paralyze the masterminds behind the incident for half a year by adding additives to the wastewater.
Now that the big bird has been caught, the other party can no longer get the wastewater. They only have 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, the person who cooperated with Otori, although he could speak Chinese, his account was a fake identity that he purchased. Judging from the chat records of both parties, the other party was most likely a Ryukyu, because this can be judged from the grammar and usage habits.
But the more troublesome thing is that the guy communicating with the big bird is most likely just a pawn.
The Shanmei police have planned to use fishing methods to send a fake express delivery to the other party’s designated address in Shanghai, and then ask the Shanghai police to assist in the arrest.
Jiang Miao just listened to these things but didn’t care too much about them, because it was difficult for him to intervene in such matters and he couldn’t intervene casually.
After a moment, his eyes narrowed slightly: “For now, 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 3, afternoon.
The Shanghai police reported a case of stealing trade secrets.
at the same time.
Pingtung County, Great Ryukyu on the other side of the sea.
Inside the CEO’s office of a large aquaculture and vaccine company.
“You useless bastard, you failed again.” A fat, middle-aged man cursed, then lit a cigarette and took a long puff.
“Hiss…Hoo…”
As he puffed out smoke, he fell into deep thought.
A yellow-haired young man in the room kept rubbing his nose and said nonchalantly, “Boss, I think we still have to find a way to bribe the breeder of Hailufeng Company to get the secret formula.”
“Haha, do I need your reminder? But Xihai Company has already done it once, Hailufeng Company must be on guard. How about sending you to the local area to get information? If you succeed, I will give you one million directly, how about that?”
“Huh?” The yellow-haired man was suddenly speechless.
Another young man with tattoos in the room said with a smile, “Boss, if we can’t do it secretly, we can go over and try it out in the open.”
“An open test? Phew… Interesting, Big Crab, tell me what you think.”
The tattooed Xie Xiaowei raised his lips slightly: “Boss, as far as I know, the Hailufeng Company is a sole proprietorship, and all the company’s profits belong to its boss Jiang Miao alone. Will Zhang Xincheng, who is in charge of the eel farm, be dissatisfied?”
Since they wanted to steal secrets, these people must have investigated the internal situation of Hailufeng Company.
As to why they did not choose Kagoshima Eel Company or Brown Company as their target.
The reason is very simple.
The farm used by Brown Company to breed eel fry is located on a small island. Apart from the local indigenous employees, there are only a dozen white people in the management, 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, so it is very difficult to remove the stolen feed secretly.
Hailufeng Company’s breeding farm is located on land and is surrounded by many residential areas, which provides space for operations.
The boss, who was smoking, took a deep puff of his cigarette and asked, “Are you sure?”
“There’s no harm in giving it a try. Will the other party call the police and arrest me for something like this?” Xie Xiaowei with tattoos on his arms looked confident.
“Then I’ll give you one million…”
“Boss, is the one million for me or for the other party?” Xie Xiaowei stared at the boss.
The boss was not angry at all. He laughed and said, “Big Crab, if you succeed, you can take one million alone.”
“Then it’s a deal.”
“Be careful, I don’t know you if something happens.” The boss reminded very coldly.
“Don’t worry! I don’t want to go to jail.” Xie Xiaowei didn’t care about such things. He picked up his baseball cap and put it on, then pushed the door and left.
…
In the past few days, Jiang Miao took the time to come up with a “new version” of the confidential feed formula.
Since some people are still obsessed with Hailufeng Company’s confidential feed and artificial eel breeding technology, he has to give the other party some response.
This new version of the secret feed formula can also enable large-scale artificial breeding of eels, but it adds a lot of raw materials and replaces some of the cheap raw materials with high-priced raw materials, increasing the cost by hundreds of times.
Jiang Miao estimated that if eel fry were bred according to this recipe, the cost of each kilogram of glass eel would be nearly 12,000 yuan.
He even added some explosive material.
Although these powerful hormones can successfully change the sex of eels and complete spawning and reproduction, the consequences are also very serious.
One of the most critical side effects is that it will cause congenital genetic diseases in the eel fry, making it difficult for them to survive more than four or five months.
Jiang Miao knew very well that after the bitter lesson of Xihai Company, the seedling breeding companies that were secretly acting would definitely not act immediately, but would conduct experiments in secret first.
But it doesn’t matter, Jiang Miao had already predicted their predictions.
From the moment the other party obtained this “confidential feed formula”, he calculated the time. It would take about three months of experimental breeding before the other party could hatch the glass eel.
Three months later, he immediately issued an announcement stating that there would be a major price adjustment for eel fry in half a year. At the same time, he spread false information online, saying that this was intended to kill the idea of ​​other aquatic seedling companies to cultivate glass eels through a drastic price cut.
As a result, those guys who have preliminarily 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 is sure to win.
If we want to speed up production, we won’t have time to keep the experimentally bred glass eels in culture for another four or five months to observe the situation.
The guy who makes this choice is most likely a person with a strong gambling nature. Therefore, in order to make a profit, he will definitely purchase a large number of mature eels in a short period of time, and at the same time purchase a large number of related supporting equipment.
After four or five months, the experimental glass eels died one after another, and the other party must have invested a large sum 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 breed them and they are used directly for cooking.
Unfortunately, this was also within Jiang Miao’s prediction.
Glass eels produced using the new formula will take at least two months to metabolize the hormone and drug residues in their bodies.
The eel fry eaten in Europe and the United States are glass eels, not leaf eels that have grown for two months.
Even the unscrupulous businessmen in Europe and the United States don’t mind the hormone and drug residues in these glass eels.
Jiang Miao has another backup plan, which is to directly launch a price war and drive the price down to the critical line of about 15,000 yuan per kilogram of glass eel.
After all, the breeding cost of each kilogram of glass eel bred with the new formula is 12,000 yuan. Adding other miscellaneous costs such as equipment depreciation, labor, water and electricity charges, the comprehensive cost of each kilogram of glass eel will definitely reach about 15,000 yuan.
Hailufeng Company lowered the price to 15,000 yuan per kilogram of glass eel, a price that would make it impossible for companies using the new formula to make any money.
With the price of glass eel at 15,000 yuan per kilogram, Hailufeng Company still has a gross profit margin of about 12,000 yuan.
If the other party still dares to follow, Jiang Miao will continue to lower the price until the other party goes bankrupt or gives up the industry.
After coming up with the new recipe, Jiang Miao asked his brother-in-law to memorize it.
Fortunately, after Zhang Xincheng tried the diet therapy, although his brain-strengthening diet was not as effective as Jiang Miao and his wife’s, his hearing and eyesight were much better. He spent two days memorizing the entire new recipe.
At the same time, I tried it several times in the mixing room to strengthen my memory, and then stockpiled the new formula feed for emergency use.
…
In the blink of an eye.
Four days passed in peace and tranquility.
That afternoon, Zhang Xincheng was preparing to go home with his lunch box after get off work as usual.
Suddenly, several men in suits and ties came to the gate of the breeding base and said they wanted to visit the breeding base of Hailufeng Company and prepare to purchase a batch of eel fry and sea snow feed.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Xincheng immediately became suspicious.
In the manager’s office.
While making tea, Zhang Xincheng asked with a smile, “How many of you are from southern Fujian?”
“Yes! Manager Zhang.” Xie Xiaowei replied without any hesitation.
“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 want to buy eel fry and sea snow feed, there is no need to go to Shanmei, and you have come to the wrong place. The company’s sales department is responsible for sales matters. I will call the sales department later. If you want to buy, go to our company headquarters to find the sales department!” Zhang Xincheng poured him a cup of tea.
Xie Xiaowei smiled, and the smile on his face became brighter and brighter. Then he answered the question irrelevantly: “Haha, Manager Zhang, your company has made hundreds of millions in the past six months!”
“It’s just hard-earned money, have some tea.” Zhang Xincheng picked up the teacup.
“Manager Zhang really earns his money through hard work. After all, you have to work alone to run such a large farm. If I were President Jiang, I would definitely give Manager Zhang 10% of the shares.” Xie Xiaowei provoked with a wry smile.
Hearing this, Zhang Xincheng was already 80% certain that these guys had come with ill intentions.
But he would know whether it was true or not once he tried it.
Then Zhang Xincheng showed a forced smile on his face: “Haha… I’m just helping my brother-in-law. It’s too polite to talk about shares. No more, no more, drink tea.”
When Xie Xiaowei heard this, he was immediately overjoyed.
For the next half hour, Xie Xiaowei kept directing the topic to shares, dividends, family ties and the like.
Zhang Xincheng also cooperated very well, and gradually showed his dissatisfaction with Jiang Miao and his father-in-law Jiang Dahai.
The other party was obviously unaware of one thing, that is, Hailufeng Company had decided to promote share reform internally and incentivize 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.
However, in order to trick the other party, he must appear greedy and indecisive.
Seeing Zhang Xincheng’s hesitant expression, Xie Xiaowei knew that he had to strike while the iron was hot, otherwise if the other party changed his mind, he might tell Jiang Miao about it, which would make it difficult to handle the situation in the future.
He casually took the tea box from his younger brother.
“Manager Jiang, this is the high mountain oolong tea from my hometown. Please taste it.”
As he spoke, Xie Xiaowei gently opened the box.
Zhang Xincheng stared at the red “tea brick” in the box, as if possessed. His eyes flickered, but he said, “This is too expensive. I won’t accept it without merit. Mr. Xie, please take it back!”
“Let’s make friends! No matter whether it succeeds or not, I’m determined to make friends with 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 increase the stakes and took out a small box from the lining of his suit: “I heard that Manager Zhang’s child has just started elementary school. This pair of bracelets is my gift for meeting you.”
Zhang Xincheng took the heavy box and found that it was a pair of solid gold bracelets. He took a look at the certificate on it and found that it weighed a full kilogram.
It was obvious that the other party had invested a lot of money.
Zhang Xincheng’s wife Jiang Xia was in charge of a gold shop, so she naturally knew that most gold bracelets were either large hollow bracelets or small solid bracelets. Their weight would usually not exceed 50 grams. If they were too heavy, they would be uncomfortable to wear.
Xie Xiaowei got a pair of large solid gold bracelets weighing one kilogram, clearly intending to bribe him.
At this time, Xie Xiaowei was also thinking: To deal with this kind of bumpkin, you have to spend real money directly. If you give him a Patek Philippe, or an antique painting or calligraphy, he may not know the value of it.
Both sides have their own ulterior motives.
Soon Zhang Xincheng was “smitten”. With a red face, he put away the heavy gold bracelet and the big box of red tea bricks and put them in the drawer of his desk. Then he smiled and said:
“Xiaowei, you are so polite. If you have any questions in the future, just ask me. I will definitely help you as long as I can.”
Hearing this, Xie Xiaowei knew that the matter was settled, and he also laughed: “Brother Zhang, since you said so, then I won’t be polite to you. I have a big deal, I wonder if Brother Zhang dares to do it?”
“Oh?” Zhang Xincheng didn’t act too stupid, but squinted his eyes and asked back: “Xiaowei, you are not thinking about eel breeding technology, are you?”
“Haha, Brother Zhang, you work like a slave for a lifetime as a manager here, how much can you earn? One million? Or two million?”
“But he is my brother-in-law after all, and it’s hard to explain to my wife!” Zhang Xincheng refused verbally, but his face seemed to be waiting for Xie Xiaowei to make the move.
Xie Xiaowei knew that the other party was not satisfied with the price and was also worried about the consequences of the truth being revealed, so he smiled and said, “Brother Zhang, this matter is known to you and me, and to heaven and earth. You name a price.”
