Spring Thunder Chapter 0195 Do you want a wife?
"Look for yourself."
Nan Yi moved to the side and took out the letter of appointment on the table.
Liu Zhen picked up the employment letter and looked through it one by one, his eyes flickering, "Good intentions or bad intentions?"
"It's well-intentioned, but also hides evil intentions. It depends on whether you and my 'relatives' can do good things." Nan Yi said dimly.
"Registered in the name of Wenchangwei?"
"Yes, it's up to you to decide whether to hand in the offer letter or not."
"Give it directly?"
"No, I'll wait for them to come."
"It's up to you." Liu Zhen sighed heavily.
"Which ones in your family are giving you trouble?"
"Um."
"That's it, it depends on their own luck which way they go."
"You've been in meetings all day and must be tired. You cook." Liu Zhen lifted her hair and left Nan Yi's room.
Nan Yi took another look at the letters of appointment on the table and put them into the drawer.
He took a pair of scissors from the living room, walked to the yard, went to a flowerpot in the corner, cut a handful of green onions from it, then pulled aside a rack made of plastic film and took out two golden keys from the flowerpot.
Wash the golden key, put it in a small casserole, add water, and put it on the gas stove over low heat.
He found a small earthenware jar from the cupboard on the long table in the living room , opened the lid wrapped in rags, and took out a piece of yellow chicken gizzard lining.
A simple stove , a bonfire was lit, a tile was placed on the bricks, and the chicken gizzard lining was placed on the tile to bake.
When the skin of the chicken's gizzard lining turned burnt, Nan Yi put out the campfire, put the chicken's gizzard lining in a bowl, crushed it into powder with a spoon, and added a little white sugar to it.
I went to the kitchen and checked the fire, and saw that the golden key was already fried.
Pour the soup from the golden key into a small bowl and stir it with a spoon. When the soup cooled down a little, Nan Yi took the bowl to Liu Zhen's room.
"Eat this."
Nan Yi first handed the chicken gizzard lining to Liu Zhen’s mouth.
Liu Zhen didn't say anything. He took the bowl and poured the food into his mouth, then started chewing it with a crunching sound.
"Drink soup."
"Did you put sugar in it?"
"Golden Key is refreshing to begin with, why add sugar?"
"bitter."
"You have to drink it even if it's bitter. Adding sugar will damage the medicinal properties. Your throat will become hoarse. If you don't drink it, your throat will be swollen and sore after a night's sleep."
"Well, just drink it."
Liu Zhen took the bowl, pinched her nose, and gulped down the liquid.
"You're exaggerating. Even Jin Suo Shi is like this, how can you drink Chinese medicine?" Nan Yi chuckled.
“It’s bitter.”
Liu Zhen sniffed and pouted.
"I'll make you some rice noodle dumplings tonight, something light."
"It grew like an elephant, so I threw it away."
"Or are they the ones I brought from Wenchangwei last year?" Nan Yi frowned.
"Well, there is flour at home."
"Then I'll make you some dough balls."
"Add more chili."
"What are you thinking about, cabbage leaf noodle dumplings? You still want spicy food, wait until your throat feels better."
Nan Yi said something scolding, took the bowl and left Liu Zhen's room, went to the kitchen and quickly prepared two bowls of noodle dumplings.
The noodles were not kneaded much, so they were not chewy and were loose. The taste was a little worse, but they were relatively soft, easy to swallow, and did not hurt the throat. They were just right for Liu Zhen in her current condition.
Liu Zhen was called over for dinner, but she took one bite and said in disgust, "It tastes too bland, not good."
"Just bear with it for now. When your throat gets better, I'll make you something delicious."
"All right."
Liu Zhen sniffed again and started eating reluctantly.
"Will you accompany me to the movies tonight?" Liu Zhen said again after quickly finishing the noodles.
"What are you watching? Is Shaolin Temple showing?"
Liu Zhen smiled and said, "It hasn't been shown yet. I have tickets. Just come with me."
“It’s quite mysterious.”
After clearing away the dishes, Nan Yi followed Liu Zhen to the cinema.
"Lao Xu, do you want a wife?"
Liu Zhen took Nan Yi to watch "The Horse Herder", which is currently the most popular movie in China.
"Do I look a lot like Xu Xiuzhi?"
When watching the 48 minutes and 17 seconds, when Xu Lingjun in the movie was pouring porridge for Xu Xiuzhi who had fled famine, Liu Zhen leaned her head on Nan Yi's shoulder and asked.
"Not at all. I only drank a little noodle soup that day, and you ate all the noodles. Xu Xiuzhi was different. She even knew to share the food with Xu Lingjun."
"That was my first time eating instant noodles. It tasted so delicious. Besides, I hadn't eaten anything that day." Liu Zhen said it very calmly, but the calmness gave people a feeling of sadness.
"Haha, who's better looking, Xu Lingjun or me?"
"You are pretty, but your skin is not as white as Xu Lingjun's. His face is dirty, but his skin is delicate and tender. You are not like that. Your skin has turned bronze."
“Is bronze bad?”
"Okay, I didn't say it's bad, I just said you're not as good as Xu Lingjunbai. The sky is vast and the wilderness is boundless, the wind blows the grass low and you can see cattle and sheep, is the Qilian Mountain really that beautiful?"
"I don't know. I haven't been there either. But the movies definitely show the most beautiful angles. The real thing probably isn't that beautiful. Do you want to go?"
"think."
"Then let's go there in the summer."
"Do you think I'm too good-looking?"
"No, no, no, this... this, Xian Zi didn't tell you clearly, I... well, I am the most handsome man in the world."
"Uncle Xian told me that you are not a good person."
“Ah, hahahaha!”
"Why are you laughing?"
"Hey, hey, hey, what are you laughing at? We're watching a movie. Are you two singing a love song together?"
Liu Zhen and Nan Yi adapted their own lines based on the plot of the movie. They were having a lot of fun, but the people watching the movie nearby were unhappy.
Nan Yi apologized to the people around him, and he and Liu Zhen smiled at each other silently, then quietly watched the screen.
After the movie, the two walked out of the cinema. Nan Yi put the whitish yellow military coat he had tucked under his armpit on Liu Zhen, and then took out a pair of woolen gloves from the pocket of his Type 72 high-altitude police wool leather jacket and helped Liu Zhen put them on.
"It's warm, but it has no flavor."
"What's that smell?"
"Manly."
"Then you'll never smell it again."
"It's okay if I can't smell it, but I'm used to it. When I was in the Kingdom of Xuan, I occasionally had the illusion that I could smell your scent."
"You are mistaken. Smokers all smell the same."
"No, it's different. You smell very special. It's raining." Liu Zhen opened her hands and continued to drizzle from the sky. "I heard that it only snowed for three days in the capital this year. The rain was a little more frequent than in previous years."
"Hurry up, or you'll get soaked."
Nan Yi took off his leather jacket as well, draped it over the two men's heads, ran forward a few steps quickly, then stood on the side of the road looking out, waiting for a taxi to come.
Maybe it was because it was a rainy day and taxi drivers were very busy. The two waited for a long time before they got a taxi. By the time they got back to the old house, they were almost wet.
Especially Nan Yi, his upper body was fine, but his lower body was wet, almost as if he had been fished out of the water.
"You're all wet, go wash first."
"You go first. You already have a sore throat. If you have a cold, it will become inflamed. I'll be fine in a while."
"Okay, I'll go first then."
Liu Zhen didn't hesitate, took off her coat in the living room and went upstairs.
Decree date.
Nan Yi waited for a while downstairs of the foreign-related office building, and then two Lada Niva off-road vehicles drove over, one in front and one behind, and stopped next to Nan Yi with a creak.
Masami Ueto got out of the first car, and Tiger Cub naturally took over the driving seat. Masami Ueto got back into the car, and the school beauty and Nan Yi sat in the back seat.
Qingquan is a small teahouse located in a small alley.
The boss was an old man with a cane. He charged ten yuan for the business and was very happy. Not only did he carefully heat their tea cups, he also gave them a handful of peanuts in addition to the melon seeds. The tea was also the good tea he had collected privately, not the big bowl of tea he usually sold to others for five cents.
The times are progressing, and even an old man has the idea of service grading.
"President, this is the new president of Yama no Mi, Naka Takasuke." After the old man finished serving and went out, Ueto Masami introduced the middle-aged man next to her to Nan Yi.
Naka Xiaojie Nao stood up and bowed deeply to Nan Yi, "Hello, President, I am Naka Xiaojie Nao."
"Jiezhi, please sit down." Nan Yi asked Zhong Xiaojiezhi to sit down, and then said to Ueto Masami, "How many Japanese businessmen are here?"
"President, since November last year, we know that 15 Japanese companies have come here for Matsutake, and there are probably many more that we don't know about."
“How much has been finalized in advance?”
"Only 200 tons have been paid in advance for deposits. This is the amount that is guaranteed for this year. If there is more, we will have to raise the price to purchase it. The quantity should be limited. I am not optimistic about the purchase volume this year.
It is still far from the quantity we promised to provide to customers. Although we have not signed a supply agreement, if we cannot supply, our reputation as a brand will be lost and customers will choose other suppliers. "
“Ignore it for now. After July, we’ll see how high the purchase price of matsutake mushrooms will go. We’ll let the high price drive out some troublemakers first, and then we’ll sit down and negotiate with the rest.
Japanese businessmen understand alliances best and they will weigh the pros and cons.
Jiezhi-kun, the rest of the work will be handed over to you. You have to ensure that our purchase volume this year is no less than 1,000 tons."
"Hayi."
"Yami, are the South American staff already in place?"
“It’s in place.”
“Well, abalone fruits are scattered in the forests along the Amazon River, the Negro River, and the Orinoco River. There is a group of collectors who make a living by collecting abalone fruits.
The season for collecting abalone fruit is the rainy season in the jungle. The collected abalone fruit cannot be dried in the sun and can only be dried indoors. If you have a large enough indoor drying area, you can purchase abalone fruit.
Jiezhi-kun, in the next two years, you need to build shade-drying sites for abalone fruit in Bolivia and Samba, and by the year after next, Shan No Wei will monopolize more than 80% of abalone fruit.”
"Hai!" Naka Kousuke bowed again and said, "But President..."
"I know that you only need to worry about business matters. Others will be coordinated with you."
The Amazon jungle is in chaos. Nan Yi's desire to monopolize abalone fruit cannot be a simple commercial act. The rise of Shanwei means that many of the previous small purchasing sites will go bankrupt.
If you cut off someone's source of income, they won't just give in and leave quietly. They will definitely attack you from behind.
Add to that the guerrillas in the jungle and possible drug trafficking channels , and the road to monopolizing abalone fruit will be a bloody and thorny one.
"Jiezhi-kun, you should go to South America this year to learn about the current situation of abalone fruit, and then set up a Bolivian branch. You can command it remotely in the future."
"Hayi."
When Naka Kousuke heard that he didn't need to take any risks, his expression became much more relaxed.
Then, Ueto Masami added some things that were not explained during the work handover to Naka Kousuke, all of which were about accounts and things that were not convenient for too many people to hear.
After giving the instructions, Naka Kousuke left first, while Nan Yi and Ueto Masami were still sitting in Qingquan.
"Has the car arrived yet?"
"It has arrived, and the license is being processed."
"Are you familiar with the capital?"
"Except for some small alleys, I have basically been to all of them and I am familiar with the roads."
"That's good. I need to find two storefronts that can accommodate 100 people dining at the same time. You can take over this matter, but don't do it yourself. Do you have a way to solve it?"
"Can."
"Have you completed the qualification procedures for sending trainees to Ikeda Karikyo?"
"It's almost done. Once he gets the paperwork, he will contact the client. Once he finds a potential client, he can notify us to recruit workers."
"Unless we need to recruit trainees with special skills, we should try to recruit them in one area. This will make management easier and also facilitate local intervention. In addition, we need to do a good job of reception. There will definitely be people in the local area who will care about the trainees we recruit."
"Ikeda Karikyo should know where to take them. Shibuya, Ginza, Kabukicho."
"Some things are better understood without having to be spoken out."
"Hayi."
