Chapter 115 Adding fuel to the flames
South Korea.
Busan Port.
Jiang Anye and his group came down from the airport and took a taxi to a pier in Busan.
Soon he met Jin Yuanji, the president of Xiyuan Group.
"President Jin, long time no see."
Jin Yuanji, who was drinking tea, glanced at Jiang Anye who was fawning on him, and a hint of satisfaction appeared on his face: "Jiang, sit down!"
Jiang Anye had long understood Jin Yuanji's character, or rather, he had understood the character of the Goryeo people, who were arrogant, conceited, yet also self-abased and sensitive. Therefore, as long as he lowered his attitude, Jin Yuanji would act very happy.
"President Jin, I came here this time because I have finally completed the technical verification work after more than three months of experiments. The technology I have is real."
"Are you sure?" Jin Yuanji was a little skeptical.
Jiang Anye assured solemnly: "President Jin, please rest assured. I have invested more than 30 million to obtain this technology. Naturally, I will not joke with my own money."
"Is that so?" Jin Yuanji tapped the table with his fingers. "We need to conduct technical verification. If you can provide research data, then we can cooperate."
"This..." Jiang Anye cursed Bangzi for going back on his word. It was obvious that he wanted to lower Jiang Anye's share again. He said with a dark face: "President Jin, if you don't have the sincerity to cooperate, then I'll take my leave."
"you sure?"
"I am sure."
"Jiang, if you buy a large number of white eels in the market, it will probably attract the attention of Hailufeng Company soon."
"So what? The worst that can happen is that I earn a little less." Jiang Anye knew very well that he must not compromise at this time, otherwise the other party would become more and more demanding.
Jin Yuanji sneered and picked up the teacup: "What if I make it known that you stole the technology of Hailufeng Company? How will you respond?"
"Haha, it doesn't matter to me. Hailufeng Company can't affect the internal affairs of Great Ryukyu anyway. I still have the Southeast Asian market and the European and American markets." Jiang Anye responded without any fear.
Faced with Jiang Anye's tough attitude, Jin Yuanji was angry but did not lose his mind. After all, he just wanted to control the other party to see if he could get a bigger share.
Since pressure didn't work, he didn't want to lose this opportunity, so his face suddenly changed and he said with a smile: "Jiang, I was just joking, you didn't take it seriously, did you?"
Although Jiang Anye knew that this guy was being hypocritical, he was happy to play along with him and replied with a smile: "Hahaha, of course I know that President Jin is joking."
"As for the cooperation, we'll follow the previous ratio, 60% for me and 40% for you."
"Pleasant to work with."
The two then arranged for the legal personnel they brought over to discuss the specific contract.
After taking a sip of tea, Jiang Anye asked, "President Jin, how much production capacity does your company plan to arrange?"
"500 acres, this is all the mature white eels we have recently. There are also 100 acres of indoor breeding farm that can be used as a seedling base." It is obvious that Jin Yuanji was well prepared.
"Is 500 acres too little? You know, Hailufeng Company has about the same production capacity."
Jin Yuanji stared into his eyes and said, "Why are you in such a hurry? If we produce too much at once, how can we digest so much production capacity? The demand for glass eels in Europe and the United States is limited. Even if they need it, the price will be very low."
However, Jiang Anye also has his own calculations: "I know that producing too much will affect the price, but increasing it by one or two times should not be a big problem. After all, if we want to make a lot of money, the production capacity must not be too small. Our production cost is as high as 1750 US dollars per kilogram of glass eel. We should take advantage of the current high price and produce as much as possible."
Just as the two sides were discussing how to produce.
Two announcements were quietly released on the official website of Hailufeng Company.
One is that Hailufeng Company plans to make a major adjustment to the selling price of glass eels in three months.
One is to dismiss Zhang Xincheng and Jiang Xia from their positions. Zhang Xincheng's position will be temporarily replaced by Li Xinhua, deputy manager of the aquatic products department; Jiang Xia's position will be replaced by Lin Yonghua, director of the Meilong Gold and Silver Processing Factory, and Chen Baili, manager of the urban specialty store respectively.
At the same time, Jiang Miao created more than a dozen small accounts and mixed into the fishery industry exchange groups in various places, revealing that Hailufeng Company had once again suffered a technical leak.
In an exchange group of aquaculture farmers in southern Fujian.
Begonia: [Let me tell you an insider information. The eel fry technology of Hailufeng Company has been stolen again. ]
Tian Qi: [Tsk, this is probably fake news again.]
Eel Plum: [Is this true? Could it be the same as Xihai Company again? Stealing a fake product? ]
Begonia: [Really? Didn’t you see the announcement on Hailufeng’s official website? They plan to slash prices in three months, probably to discourage other companies from producing eel fry.]
Fuding Meat Slices: [Damn, I just checked it out, there is so much information! If I remember correctly, that Zhang Xincheng should be the brother-in-law of the boss of Hailufeng Company, right? ]
Begonia: [You are out of touch with the news. I have a friend in the Ma Palace. I heard that the Jiang family had an internal conflict last night. It is very likely that Zhang Xincheng sold out the technology.]
Tian Qi: [Does that mean someone really got the Hailufeng technology? ]
Eel Plum: [Then I won’t buy seedlings next month. I’ll wait two more months and get a batch of low-priced seedlings.]
Tian Qi: [Haha, don't think too highly of yourself. What if Hailufeng Company doesn't lower the price?]
Haitanghua: [The price will definitely drop. If it doesn’t, other companies will definitely produce eel fry. ]
Tian Qi: [Want to make a bet? ]
Begonia: [Haha, believe it or not, it’s up to you. I don’t want to bother with you.]
Soon, the WeChat account Haitanghua withdrew from the group chat, and even the account was quietly cancelled.
But other people in the group did not doubt it. After all, this group was a technical exchange group for hundreds of aquaculture farmers in southern Fujian. People often joined and left. They did not even doubt the identity of Haitanghua.
That night, the news traveled across the ocean to the Ryukyu Islands.
Anye Company, which was still cleaning up the burnt ruins, naturally also received the news. More than a dozen managers who knew about the situation immediately realized that something had happened.
He immediately made an international long-distance call to Jiang Anye in South Korea.
"Boss, something terrible has happened."
Jiang Anye, who was on the other end of the phone, was having dinner with Jin Yuanji and other members of Xiyuan Group's management. He was listening to the phone in the bathroom outside the private room.
"What happened again?"
"Boss, this is what happened..."
After listening to the explanation of the company's vice president, Jiang Anye was also shocked. He did not expect that Hailufeng Company discovered the technology leak so quickly.
After hanging up the phone, he frowned and thought about how to deal with this matter.
After thinking for a while, he decided to confess to Jin Yuanji first. After all, this kind of thing could not be hidden at all, and the other party would probably receive relevant news in the near future.
Jiang Anye, who re-entered the private room, said solemnly, "President Jin, the situation has changed."
"Huh? Is there something wrong with your skills?" Jin Yuanji, who was holding a red wine glass, suddenly looked gloomy.
Jiang Anye explained helplessly: "It's not a technical problem, but Hailufeng Company has already known about the technology leak and plans to lower the price of eel fry in three months. This is to make us retreat in the face of difficulties."
"..." Jin Yuanji really wanted to call him a waste, but he held back and asked seriously: "Jiang, what do you think?"
"My idea is that Hailufeng is just bluffing. As long as my company does not purchase white eels on a large scale, the other party will most likely think that I have given up."
"you sure?"
"I'm sure." Jiang Anye vowed.
"So we continue production?"
Jiang Anye said his thoughts: "Of course, but we need to change our strategy. We can use your company's connections in Europe and the United States to find some companies that need to purchase glass eels and sign cooperation agreements. As long as we lower the price, the other party will definitely be happy to accept it."
"Is that so? That's fine too." Jin Yuanji felt that Jiang Anye's proposal was quite reliable.
"Except for breeding new eels ourselves, we sell all the eel fry we produce to Europe and the United States. In this way, Hailufeng Company will definitely not be able to discover it in the first place, and this will paralyze them for a while." Jiang Anye made a clear analysis:
"By the time Hailufeng reacts, we will have made at least tens of millions of dollars, so we must expand production capacity and make enough profit in the early stage, and then threaten Hailufeng, Kagoshima Eel Company, and Brown Company, demanding that they share the market, otherwise we will lower the price and make no one make money."
After listening to Jiang Anye's idea, Jin Yuanji regained his confidence and felt that this matter had great potential, so he nodded and said, "Okay! I will also put the remaining 500 acres of nearly mature white eels into this plan, and expand the breeding scale to 1200 acres."
"President, isn't it too risky to do this?" A vice president of Xiyuan Group expressed some concern.
Jiang Anye quickly retorted: "Manager Park, you overestimate your opponent. As long as we can produce on a large scale, the other party will definitely choose to compromise in order to protect their profits."
At this moment, Xie Xiaowei also whispered a few words in Jiang Anye's ear.
After hearing this, Jiang Anye was even more confident. He said with a beaming face, "President Jin, I have another piece of good news. Hailufeng Company has borrowed 5 billion yuan from a local bank for development. In this way, they will definitely not easily give up the high-profit eel fry industry."
"I see. This is indeed good news." Jin Yuanji's confidence also increased. He turned to Deputy General Manager Park Dachang and said:
"Manager Park, you are responsible for expanding the scale of the farm, but don't reveal that we are going to farm eels. Just say we want to farm salmon."
"President, how much do you plan to expand?"
“An increase of 5000 acres.”
"5000 acres? Isn't that too much?" Pu Dachang's forehead was covered with sweat, and it was obvious that he was a little nervous. Jiang Anye shook his head and said, "5000 acres is not much. After all, your domestic eel farms only cover more than 3000 acres. If you don't expand the farms, you will have to import a large number of mature white eels from other regions, which will reduce your profits."
"That's right, Jiang is right, Manager Park, just follow my orders! If there are any problems, I will take full responsibility." Jin Yuanji's inner arrogance was magnified.
"Yes." Park Dachang could only agree reluctantly, then nodded and sat down.
Jin Yuanji picked up the red wine glass: "Jiang, I wish us success."
"I also wish President Kim all the best."
"Hahaha, cheers!"
"cheers!"
After clinking their glasses, several people drank the wine in their glasses.
After a few glasses of wine, the atmosphere at the table became more intense. Jin Yuanji patted Jiang Anye on the shoulder. His face was flushed and his breath was full of alcohol. He said with a lisp:
"Jiang, don't go home until you're drunk tonight. Tomorrow I'll arrange for three trainees who have just debuted so that you can study Korean well."
"Okay, thank you very much, President Jin." Jiang Anye was also looking forward to tomorrow's foreign language class. After all, he was not very proficient in Korean and should make up for it.
What's more, this is President Jin's good intention, and he can't refuse the kindness!
It was late at night, and after having eaten and drunk their fill, Jiang Anye and his group were arranged to rest in a large hotel nearby.
But he didn't know that there was someone who couldn't sleep all night.
Pingtung County of Great Ryukyu.
In a private villa.
An old man who looked intimidating without even getting angry raised his glasses and looked at the package that had been mailed this afternoon, his expression very gloomy.
When he received the text message at noon today, he thought it was a prank or a new type of scam.
Unexpectedly, he really received the package in the afternoon. Although he didn't quite believe the content of the text message, he still chose to open the package alone in the study.
However, after opening the package, what was found inside was a large stack of paper documents. The old man did not pay much attention to it at first, but when he finished browsing the first page of information, his face turned pale.
"Okay, okay..." The old man was furious. He opened the content below and looked at his canary, the photos of him and Jiang Anye having an affair, and the paternity test. He almost had a cerebral hemorrhage.
But he quickly calmed down: "I can't get excited, otherwise I will die with regrets."
As he continued reading, he discovered that his so-called son had a large number of photos with Jiang Anye, photos he was not aware of. Then he thought of his son's lukewarm attitude towards him over the years.
After sorting these things out and locking them in the safe, he sat in a chair and thought.
'Calm down! First of all, the photo could be artificially synthesized, and the paternity test could be forged. It is possible that someone is deliberately trying to sow discord. However, it is also very simple to confirm. You just need to do another paternity test.'
"But we must not alert the enemy, otherwise if that woman and Jiang Anye find out about this, it will be very troublesome. If it is false, it will also affect our father-son relationship. Everything must be considered carefully."
'How can I conduct a paternity test secretly? Oh, this is how it can be done...'
Early the next morning.
The old man went to work as usual.
After arriving at my office.
Half an hour later, a young man appeared in front of him in a low-key manner.
"Uncle, what do you want to talk to me about?"
"Awen, you are the person I trust the most, please help me do something..."
After listening to his uncle's instructions, Ah Wen's eyes widened: "This? Uncle, could it be that someone is trying to sow discord?"
"That's why I asked you to act secretly. If the identification result is correct, everyone will be happy. If he is indeed not mine..." The old man didn't say anything else, but the coldness in his eyes had already told Awen what he meant next.
"Okay, I'll arrange it as soon as possible."
"Well, remember to stay hidden and don't make too much noise."
"I know how to do it."
Awen returned to his farm and called a few trustworthy brothers over.
At noon, after school at Pingtung Middle School.
Gao Siqi, who had just come out of school, was standing under a nearby tree, waiting for the special car arranged by his father to pick him up. He looked at his watch and said, "Strange, why am I late today?"
At this moment, two passers-by nearby suddenly started quarreling, then started fighting and quickly approached Gao Siqi.
Bang! One of them smashed a beer bottle with a red face, and used the remaining sharp edge of the beer bottle to slash at the other person.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the other person pushed Gao Siqi, who was confused, towards the person holding the broken beer bottle.
"Ah..." Gao Siqi's wrist was cut.
Soon the two men disappeared into the alleys of the street in the pursuit.
At the same time, a Land Rover stopped not far from Gao Siqi, who was covering his wound. Ah Wen jumped out of the car with an anxious look on his face: "Ah Qi, what happened to you?"
Gao Siqi was still in shock and his face turned pale: "Ah... I don't know, there were two people fighting just now, and I was scratched."
"Damn it! I won't let these hooligans off, but I'll still send you to the hospital first."
In the car, Gao Siqi looked in pain, and Awen was squeezing out blood for him: "Okay, squeeze out some of the blood from the wound, and now you cover the wound first."
Awen casually stuffed a few blood-stained tissues into his pocket and drove Gao Siqi to a nearby hospital.
On the road.
"Your father's driver had diarrhea at noon, and I happened to be at your father's place, so I came to pick you up. I didn't expect this to happen."
"Cousin, I'm fine."
"You have to go to the hospital. If you get infected, it will be bad. You will be taking the college entrance examination next year. You can't fall ill."
"Listen to my cousin."
Soon, the two arrived at the hospital.
While the nurse was treating Gao Siqi's wound, he put the tissue in his pocket into a sealed bag and went to a department.
The doctor took off his mask and said, "Old classmate, what can I do for you?"
"Please do me a favor and do a paternity test on these two blood samples. The sooner the better."
Looking at the blood-stained tissue and a tube of blood in the sealed bag, the doctor raised his glasses and asked, "So urgent?"
Ah Wen nodded: "It's very urgent. No matter what the result is, don't reveal it to anyone."
"Yes, the results will be out within six hours."
Ah Wen whispered, "Is it still the same account as before?"
"Ah."
"I'll transfer it later."
In the evening, the setting sun is like blood.
The old man who was still in the office stood quietly by the window, looking at the red sunset. His face seemed calm, but he was actually very anxious.
bang bang bang...
"Come in."
Awen looked a little unhappy.
The old man who saw this scene took a deep breath and asked, "What's the result?"
"There is no biological father-son relationship." Awen said slowly.
"Huh...very good!" The old man had given up hope and abandoned the last bit of fantasy in his heart. There was only cold murderous intent in his eyes.
"Uncle! Please take care of yourself!"
"I know that I won't fall down until I deal with these affairs." The old man clenched his fists. He had a son in his old age and had always loved him very much. He never thought that he was actually helping someone else raise a son, and that bastard knew about the existence of his father and had even gone on a trip with him.
