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 and many gossips, the news of the large-scale death of eels in the eel breeding base of Xihai Company spread quickly in the local area.

In less than two days, the news spread throughout Ryukyu.

The Kagoshima Eel Company and Hailufeng Company, which had been secretly paying attention to the Xihai Company, naturally received the news at the first time.

In a small private room in the company cafeteria.

"Hahaha, good death!" Zhang Xincheng laughed.

Jiang Dahai was also all smiles, gloating over Xihai Company's misfortune without any guilt: "This is really retribution!"

"Dad, brother-in-law, you can laugh but don't choke." Jiang Miao reminded with a smile.

"If I could drink, I would definitely drink a few glasses to celebrate." Although Jiang Dahai didn't show it these days, he was still a little worried about the future of his son's company. Now he can finally put his mind at ease.

Jiang Miao put a piece of roast suckling pig into his father's bowl: "Dad, your health is the most important thing. Tobacco and alcohol are like poison. Try not to touch them if you can."

"I'm just saying, I don't really want to drink." Jiang Dahai doesn't like drinking normally. In the past, he would only drink a little when guests came and he had to. Now, he doesn't drink at all.

Zhang Xincheng ate a piece of barbecued pork, then asked in a low voice: "A Miao, do you want to continue to stock up?"

"Well, keep pressing. Wait until the news about Xihai Company spreads completely. That's when we can start shipping."

Zhang Xincheng nodded: "Okay! It won't matter if these few days are enough."

Li Zhou, who just came downstairs, did not take a vacation these days but stayed in the company.

I took a lunch box from the lunch box cabinet in the cafeteria.

The meals in the company cafeteria are prepared in advance in lunch boxes to reduce waiting time while serving meals, and to facilitate delivery to employees at farms, breeders and canneries.

Just as he was about to find a seat, he suddenly saw Jiang Miao walking out of a small private room.

Li Zhou walked over with a lunch box and said, "Boss, there have been a lot more farmers calling to inquire about prices these past two days, especially those in southern Fujian."

"No rush, let the news ferment for a while."

"The boss is really good at predicting things." Li Zhou picked up a piece of pork chop while thinking to himself:
"The boss seemed to have known that something would happen to Xihai Company, and hired someone to poison it? It's unlikely, and the risk is too great. Wait a minute..." Li Zhou was absent-minded, but he thought of a possibility:
"Could it be the secret formula? Did the boss tamper with the formula? That's right, the boss would definitely not write the formula directly on the notebook. There must be some secret words on it that others don't know. But I didn't expect that the formula could also cause the death of eels on a large scale. It seems that people who come to the company to steal secrets will probably have to think twice before doing so."

In fact, Li Zhou is not the only smart person.

Everyone else in the company had more or less guessed that there might be something seriously wrong with the stolen formula.

...

Japan, Kagoshima Prefecture.

Inside the Kagoshima Eel Company's breeding farm.

Looking at the large number of glass eels that had been successfully hatched in the breeding pond, Junichi Watanabe smiled with satisfaction.

At this moment, his nephew Hirotatsu Watanabe hurried over from outside and whispered in his ear for a moment.

Hearing this, Jun'ichi Watanabe's eyes flickered, and then he smiled slightly: "Haha, this Jiang Sang is really a hidden talent! He brought Xihai Company to the brink of bankruptcy without making a sound."

"President, several large eel farms in the country have sent us emails, hoping to cooperate with us," added Watanabe Hirotatsu.

Junichi Watanabe scooped up a large piece of sea snow feed and threw it into the breeding pond, then said with a smile: "Reply to them and tell them that our eel fry have been reserved and ask them to wait for a month."

"Yes."

Naturally, Jun'ichi Watanabe would not give eel fry to these eel farming companies immediately. He knew these guys. Some time ago, he sent a guy named Yamada to Ryukyu to secretly cooperate with the West Sea Company to set up a fish fry company.

Although making money is certainly necessary, he wants to let these eel farming companies know who will be the boss in the next few years.

At least until other fish fry breeding companies master the technology of artificial breeding of eels, Kagoshima Eel Company and Kailufeng Company are the market monopolies.

As long as they can reap the first wave of dividends, when other companies develop the technology, they will join forces with Hailufeng Company to sell eel fry and drive down the price.

At this point, Junichi Watanabe is very grateful to the Saikai company for its revelation, which has caused other companies that tried to steal secrets or imitate to have a suspicious mentality. In fact, other companies that are concerned about artificial breeding technology for eels were indeed shocked by the tragic accident of Saikai company.

Just three days.

In the 650-acre fish pond of Xihai Company, all tons of mature eels died, and there was even no possibility of making them into canned eels.

It’s not that Wang Dafu and others didn’t think about selling the eels to a nearby eel cannery, but unfortunately the owner of the cannery is not a fool.

The large-scale death of eels at Xihai Company is now known to almost everyone in Ryukyu, especially those in the industry, who know a lot of inside information.

This kind of eels died very suddenly and in large numbers. Which cannery would dare to collect them to make canned eels? I'm afraid they must have eaten arsenic and are tired of living.

There were even a few eel canning factories in Ryukyu that, because they had previously cooperated with Xihai Company, were worried that they would be affected, so they quickly issued announcements stating that they had not purchased eels from Xihai Company recently.

"Haha, is this what it means when the wall falls, everyone pushes it down?"

Wang Dafu sat dejectedly in the office, which was filled with smoke and the ashtray was full of cigarette butts.

"Dad! It's bad. The bank requires us to provide a loss report for this accident and also freeze our financial account." Wang Yongli walked in hurriedly.

"It's over! Everything is over!" Wang Dafu lit another cigarette, his eyes dead.

Bang! Zhang Biao and a few of his men kicked the door open and said, "Wang Dafu, you've caused me to lose so much money. I'm not done with you."

"Haha, Zhang Biao, what's wrong with you and me?" Wang Dafu spread his hands and asked indifferently.

"You!" Zhang Biao clenched his fists, but didn't dare to really hit him. He was just talking big, and it was unlikely that he would really get rid of Wang Dafu.

This accident indeed caused huge losses to Wang Dafu and the other two.

In order to breed eel fry as quickly as possible, they bought a large number of mature eels in Ryukyu and southern Fujian in the past two months, purchasing 573 tons of eels. The average purchase price per ton of mature eels reached 9.2 Hua Yuan, with a total cost of 5271 million Hua Yuan.

In addition to expanding the site, two hundred acres of fish ponds were added and a supporting indoor breeding base was built.

In total, nearly 100 million yuan was invested.

What is even more serious is that he received a lot of deposits from breeding farms, which amounted to more than 20 million yuan.

Then, more than 70 tons of mature eels that the company had originally raised also died, resulting in another loss of several million.

Although Wang Dafu has tens of millions of assets, most of them are actually fixed assets, and he only has about 10 million in cash.

Those breeders and companies that had made reservations previously had brought people to surround Xihai Company and Wang Dafu and others overnight, demanding the return of their deposits.

This situation immediately drained the funding chain of Xihai Company and Wang Dafu.

Now banks, equipment companies, and engineering companies are also worried about Xihai Company's repayment ability and are asking Wang Dafu to pay as soon as possible, or provide the company's profitability, or increase collateral.

Just when a few people were arguing.

A dark shadow flashed past the window.

boom!
"Ah..."

"Someone jumped off the building!"

“Call an ambulance…”

"Hopeless."

"Isn't this a shareholder of Xihai? Could it be that Wang Dafu also wants to jump off the building?"

"No, everyone rush in and make Xihai return the deposit to us first."

Wang Yongli quickly opened the glass window and looked down, and found that it was another shareholder of the company, a bald old man with glasses, who jumped off the building.
