Volume 5: The Age of Storms Chapter 0626 Drama Queen's Oyster
Ruan Mei said after getting through the intercom: "On the second floor."
"Call the people up first, we still have to go to Huoshi Island later." Nan Yi said after looking at his watch.
After waiting for about ten minutes, Nan Yi saw Ruan Mei walking up the escalator from the fourth floor to the fifth floor, carrying only two shopping bags in her hands.
"You've been shopping for so long, and you only bought two items?" Nan Yi asked when Ruan Mei came jumping in front of him.
"The clothes here are so expensive. I looked for a long time before I saw two relatively cheap ones." Ruan Mei said, taking out a piece of clothing from the shopping bag, holding it open with both hands, and gesturing at her chest, "Do you think I look good in it?"
Nan Yi looked at the clothes and said, "The clothes are not bad, but they are not suitable for your age. They make you look too mature."
Ruan Mei stuck out her tongue and said, "I picked it on purpose. I wanted to look more mature."
"As long as you like it."
When I was young, I always thought that I could grow up to be an adult; when I got older, I wanted to go back to my childhood. People are so contradictory. They don’t like themselves at this age. They look forward to the future and cherish the past, but they just can’t learn to live in the present.
Just like Ruan Mei now, she must be thinking about becoming mature and sexy, and she doesn’t know how to appreciate her youthfulness and purity.
"Yeah, let me show you another one."
As if presenting a treasure, Ruan Mei took out another one and showed it to others.
Nan Yi used white lies to make Ruan Mei happy, and then he took her to the seventh floor, entered Di Sheng Company, and entered Pan Di Sheng's office after being greeted by Pan Di Sheng's secretary.
"Nansheng, we haven't seen each other for a long time." As soon as Nan Yi and his partner entered the office, Pan Disheng greeted them warmly, "Who is this lady?"
"Ruan Mei, my girlfriend."
"Hello, Miss Ruan, I am Pan Disheng." Pan Disheng nodded to Ruan Mei and said.
Ruan Mei said timidly, "Hello, Mr. Pan."
In order to prevent Ruan Mei from continuing to be in an uncomfortable state, Nan Yi broke the normal meeting process and directly said to Pan Disheng: "Mr. Pan, do you have the agency rights of Du Peng?"
"Yes, Nansheng, why do you ask this?" Pan Disheng said in surprise.
Nan Yi first introduced Yaqing Company, and then said: "I will give you some business. Yaqing Company will be the second-level agent of Disheng Company. I will buy Dupont lighters from you in the future."
"That's great, Nansheng. We are so familiar with each other, I feel embarrassed to make a profit from the price difference. I will give you the same price as I buy the goods from Dupont." Pan Disheng said cheerfully.
The reason why Pan Disheng was so happy was because he was already preparing to acquire the Dupont Company. In the future, the Dupont brand would belong to him. Instead of having to explain it to Nan Yi later, it would be better to make concessions now and earn a favor.
"Mr. Pan, you are so straightforward. Thank you in advance." Nan Yi said, but he muttered in his heart: "Don't think I don't know that you have submitted an application to the French government to acquire Dupont. There are many famous lighter brands. I chose Dupont just to get an internal price."
"For Dupont and the other brands you represent, prepare a quotation for each of them. I'll accept Dupont's offer, but for the other brands, don't give us any more profit. Just make as much as you should. To be honest, Asia may not be able to sell many pieces a year."
"Since Nansheng said so, I won't be polite. I'll ask someone to prepare the quotation soon." Pan Disheng said with a smile.
"Ask your people to help work overtime. I hope to see the quotation at nine o'clock tomorrow morning. I can't stay in Xiangkeng for a few days."
"No problem, where to send it?"
"777 Deep Water Bay."
Nan Yi walked hurriedly, and said goodbye and left as soon as he finished talking to Pan Disheng.
"I'm going to Sai Wan Pier in a while and will stay overnight on an outlying island. You should not go with me, or your aunt will worry about you." After walking out of Prince's Building and getting into the car, Nan Yi said to Ruan Mei.
"Are we going camping? I want to go too."
Women who have just fallen in love will be particularly clingy, and Ruan Mei is no exception.
"No, I'm going to work. Be good and listen to me. You go home first. I'll go to your house for dinner tomorrow. Tell your aunt first."
Ruan Mei curled her lips and said reluctantly: "Okay, I'll ask Mommy to cook a few more dishes."
"You don't need to prepare too many dishes. This is mainly for talking about you."
"oh."
Ruan Mei responded, seeming a little unhappy.
"Okay, don't be like this. I really need to go to work. Smile." Nan Yi hugged Ruan Mei in his arms and said.
"It's been several months since I last saw you. It's only been four hours since then. I will miss you." Ruan Mei said, a feeling of grievance surged into her eyes, and her eyes became moist.
"Okay, okay, we can see each other tomorrow. I promise you, after we go to your house tomorrow, I will take you to the movies, and then we will go to Temple Street for a midnight snack. I won't take you back before the early hours, okay?"
"Okay, you said so. You are not allowed to bring your phone tomorrow and you have to concentrate on playing with me." Before the tears could roll down, a smile had already climbed onto Ruan Mei's brows.
"Okay, I'll listen to you. I won't bring my phone."
"Uh-huh."
On the high street, after sending Ruan Mei, who was reluctant to leave, out of the car, the school beauty stepped on the accelerator to the bottom.
When we arrived at Sai Wan Pier, two yachts were already docked at the shore, one was the Fox and the other was the Red Bean.
Nan Yi took three or four people to board the Fox, and the others boarded the Red Bean. As soon as everyone got on the yacht, the propeller turned rapidly and the yacht sped out.
"Dad, let's sell the Red Bean."
Nan Ruoyin came to Nan Yi with a goblet in her hand, shaking the red liquid inside.
"Little girl, you're drinking Coke from a goblet."
Nan Yi snatched the wine glass from Nan Ruoyin's hand, brought it to his lips and took a sip, then...
Poof, it spurted out!
An intoxicating taste burst out in Nan Yi's mouth. Within two seconds, his eye sockets became moist and his two nostrils were filled with a stimulating spicy taste. They became very clear and clear mucus flowed out uncontrollably.
"I……"
Nan Yi used great willpower to swallow back the obscene words that were about to burst out of his mouth. He bent down, took off his shoes, and was about to deal with Nan Ruoyin. He squinted his eyes and looked around, but there was no sign of the little girl on the deck.
"Little girl, you run so fast, how dare you play a trick on me."
Nan Yi yelled angrily and went to the room downstairs to wash his face and rinse his mouth.
After washing up, Nan Yi came out of the room, and the door of another room opened. A little head stuck out and laughed at Nan Yi.
"If you keep laughing, I'll throw you into the sea in a moment."
"Hehehe, Dad, is wasabi cola delicious? I made this especially for you. I ground a whole wasabi into it."
"Thank you, you are so filial. Remember the seven pots of Dugla peppers that dad brought back? Dad will use that pepper to make spicy chicken for you someday. You must eat it all. This is dad's true love for you." Nan Yi said gritting his teeth.
"Dad, you're too cruel. Eating that can kill people." Nan Ruoyin walked up to Nan Yi, pulled his arm, and said, "Dad, don't be angry. I won't let you eat wasabi next time."
"Hmph, should we change it to mustard next time?"
"No, Dad, you are so smart, how could you be fooled twice? I will think of other ways next time." Nan Ruoyin leaned her little head on Nan Yi's shoulder and murmured.
"Little girl, you have finally reached the age where gods and ghosts hate you."
"Hehe, I'm so cute, who would hate me?" Nan Ruoyin said, her eyes rolling, "Dad, how about we sell the Red Bean? Yacht maintenance is very expensive, and Red Bean is not used on a regular basis, so why not just sell it and split the money in half."
"Don't have any bad ideas. If you dare to sell it, be careful or Hongdou will beat you up. Have you forgotten that when you were practicing martial arts, you only knew how to be sneaky and sly, while Hongdou practiced meticulously. It would be easy for her to beat you up."
Nan Ruoyin weighed the difference in fighting power between herself and Fan Hongdou in her mind, curled her lips and said, "Well, if you don't want to sell it, then don't sell it. It's a waste to leave it at the dock."
"Stop showing off. It's not yours to waste." Nan Yi tapped Nan Ruoyin's head and said, "Go up. The weather is nice today. Let's enjoy the sea breeze."
The two yachts were the rewards that Nan Yi gave to the two children for dealing with Qu Liuyan. After buying them, Fan Hongdou's Hongdou was hardly used, and Nan Yi felt it was a bit of a waste. However, Hongdou was Fan Hongdou's property, and whether to sell it or not was up to Fan Hongdou herself.
The father and daughter were on the deck, enjoying the sea breeze. They didn't chat for long before the yacht approached Flint Island, where a large number of rafts were floating on the sea.
Nan Yi walked to the side of the ship and scanned the floating rafts. These rafts were made of wood and bamboo tied together, and then floated on the sea with buoys tied underneath. The specifications were about 5×8 meters, and there was a distance of about 20 meters between each raft.
"Go northeast, I'm going to check out the pillar area." After looking at the raft enough, Nan Yi shouted to the school beauty on the yacht.
The school beauty followed his instructions and drove a few miles northeast. When she saw the orange-red anchor ball floating on the sea, Nan Yi asked her to stop.
"Do you want to go down with Dad and take a look?"
As soon as the yacht stopped, Tiger Cub handed the diving suit to Nan Yi.
"No, there are only concrete pillars below, nothing to see." Nan Ruoyin directly refused Nan Yi.
"Then Dad will go by himself."
Nan Yi put on his diving suit, came to the stern of the boat, and dived into the water.
If you dive more than three meters below the sea, you can see concrete pillars standing on the seabed. They are about two meters high and about thirty centimeters in diameter. Each concrete pillar is clogged with oysters, but not enough to cause discomfort to people with trypophobia.
Nan Yi stood in the water and looked around. When he saw a fallen pillar, he went over to fix it. After staying on the seabed for about 20 minutes, Nan Yi returned to the yacht with two oysters.
After visiting the pillar area , the yacht then went to the bamboo planting area and the longline area.
Floating raft culture, pole culture, longline culture and bamboo culture are four different ways of cultivating oysters. Different sea conditions are suitable for different cultivation methods.
The reason why four different breeding methods appear simultaneously in the same sea area is that Huoshizhou is the experimental breeding area of Xijing Company under Jiang Shang Fisheries. Its function is to conduct experiments rather than large-scale breeding.
After looking at the four areas, Nan Yi took a knife and opened the shells of the oyster samples brought back from the four areas, revealing the oyster meat inside the shells.
"Ruoyin, go get the wasabi you're not using."
"Dad, do you want to eat it raw?" Nan Ruoyin said, pointing at the oysters on the table.
"yes."
"Oh, I'll help you grind it."
Nan Ruoyin stood up and quickly ran to the cabin to get a wasabi and a grinding board. She ground a pile of wasabi powder in no time.
Nan Yi used a knife to cut the oyster meat from the shell, dipped it in some wasabi powder and put it into his mouth, chewing it carefully to fully feel the flavor of the oyster.
After eating one, he took a short break, rinsed his mouth with water and then ate the next one. Nan Yi stopped eating only after he had finished eating four oysters from different areas.
"Dad, which one is the best?"
Nan Yi smacked his lips and said, "To be honest, Dad can't tell the difference. They all feel the same."
"Tsk, Dad, you are such a hypocrite. I was waiting for you to say that this one lived for 3 years, 4 days, 5 hours, 6 minutes and 44 seconds, and that one is chewy and tastes like a dung beetle."
"Haha, stop trying to disgust your dad. Come, open your mouth. Daddy will cough up a tonsil stone for you to taste." Nan Yi pinched Nan Ruoyin's chin and said with a smile.
Nan Ruoyin said with disdain: "Dad, you are so disgusting, your tonsil stones stink."
" Haha, little girl, do you still want to fight with me?"
"I am a sweet little princess, and my father is a stinky man. If I don't fight with you, I will be at a disadvantage." Nan Ruoyin shook her head pretending to be helpless and said.
"What do you mean by stinky man or not? These words are not what you should say at your age."
Nan Yi patted Nan Ruoyin's head, stood up and stretched, then looked towards the small pier on Huoshi Island and found that there were already people waiting at the pier.
The school beauty slowly brought the yacht closer to the dock and turned off the engine when it was two or three meters away from the dock. The tiger cub took the rope and threw it onto the dock. The people on the dock tied the rope to the winch and towed the yacht to the shore.
After the yacht docked, Nan Yi took Nan Ruoyin off the boat.
As soon as Nan Yi and Nan Ruoyin stepped onto the dock, someone came out from the waiting crowd and said, "Nan Sheng, Miss."
"Fang Kong, you are here too."
"Knowing that Nansheng was coming, I would definitely come to greet him."
"For me, the red tape of welcoming and seeing off can be omitted. I don't care about the pomp and circumstance, nor do I want to see the false prosperity of flowers and brocade. You have the obligation to be responsible for me, and I also have the obligation to give you an explanation." Nan Yi said lightly: "Spend what should be spent, save what should be saved, this is true for money and time."
"Yes, Nansheng, I understand." Fang Kong nodded hurriedly.
"Since you are here, let's solve some things here. Tell me about the Hai Gu. In last month's report, I saw that seven crew members of the Hai Gu wanted an advance on their wages. Was it because Jiang Shang's salary was too low, or was it just a coincidence that seven people's families encountered problems at the same time?"
"Nansheng, I've already investigated. It's because everyone was bored during their free time on the ship, so they gathered together to play cards. At first, they just gambled a little for fun, but later... they got addicted to it, and the bets got bigger and bigger, so..." Fang Kong said stutteringly.
Nan Yi put his hands behind his back, looked in the direction of the sea, and said quietly: "Continue the investigation. I want to know who won the money. If it is dispersed, then this matter ends here. Small gambling is fine for fun, but whoever plays big will be fired directly.
Every time they go out to sea, it is unknown whether they can come back alive. Don’t they feel sad when they lose the money they earned with their lives?
Working on a boat or fishing requires staying up late and smelling the fishy smell. Many people have experienced the pain of their wives cheating on them. Wouldn't it be better to work hard for a few years, save some money, and get ashore early?"
Nan Yi paused, then continued, "Back to the previous point, if someone is cheating, let them spit out the money and get out."
"clear."
"Okay, let's put it this way. Tell me about the oyster breeding base."
"Okay." Fang Kong nodded and said, "At present, Xijing Company already has the Huoshizhou Experimental Breeding Base and the Zhongsha Large Breeding Base, with a total breeding area of 1.07 million mu. The main customer is Li Jinji. Now more than 80% of Li Jinji's oysters are provided by Xijing Company."
"Yeah, good, keep going."
"The French Oyster Company has established a Belon oyster breeding base at the Belon River estuary and is currently in the exploratory stage. In addition, the acquisition of shares in Ginato is in progress; the Australian Oyster Company has been registered in Sydney, but has not yet started breeding Sydney rock oysters; the Japanese Oyster Company has acquired four relatively small farms in Kumamoto Prefecture, and a batch of Kumamoto oysters will be harvested soon."
"What about the trial breeding of Belon oysters in other places?" Nan Yi asked.
Fang Kong said, "Nansheng, let Wu Ganghou report this. He knows more about it."
"Then let's wait until dinner time. I'll take my daughter around the island before it gets dark."
