1988: Back to the human world for a few years

Chapter 269 Night Talk
Crack~

Following a crisp chewing sound, a fat guy put down his chopsticks in satisfaction: "It's been a while since I've eaten such authentic bacon. The skin, the taste, wow!"

After squinting his eyes and savoring the taste, Zhang Wenshun finally opened his eyes and raised his cup with a sad face: "Boy, thanks to you, I can eat such authentic bacon...Alas, I, as an uncle, am not as important as you, as a master!"

Bai Mengmeng on the side was unhappy, pouted and glared at him: "Uncle Zhang, you should speak with conscience. My father specially brought a box of Dongshan Jiu, and it was all old wine dug out from the warehouse. My master didn't get a bottle, so I left them all to you!"

As he spoke, the young disciple stretched out his hand and, with all his strength, picked up a chopstick full of bacon and put it into Yang Mo's bowl: "Master, try the steamed bacon with fermented black beans that I made. My father said that these bacon were specially collected from the village. Not only are they from local black pigs, but they have also been baked on the stove for more than two years... The fragrance grows in a year, and it becomes delicious in two years. Master, this is top quality. It's not easy to find even in Guizhou."

Yang Mo looked at the slices of bacon in the bowl. The slices were black and red in color, with skin that was half a centimeter thick, and the fat part that was six or seven centimeters thick. Only at the bottom there were two thin strips of lean meat hanging like three flowers. He couldn't help but twitch his eyes.

Although he knew that the diet in most areas today still respected fat, as a person who had lived in the future for decades, he was still somewhat allergic to this greasy-looking thing.

However, looking at the expectant eyes of his little apprentice, and then looking at the fat guy opposite with jealousy written all over his face, he had no choice but to pick up a piece and stuff it into his mouth.

Crack~Crack~
Huh?
Somewhat beyond his expectations, although this piece of bacon looked frighteningly fatty, it did not taste as greasy as he had imagined... perhaps the salty and fragrant lean meat at the bottom neutralized the greasiness?

It was certainly gratifying that it was not as greasy as he had imagined, but the thick layer of bacon skin that was crispy and chewy, and wrapped in an indescribable woody aroma, really gave him a great surprise.

Ok……

I don't know if you have ever eaten Chaoshan braised goose head. Although the taste is quite different, the chewy texture is very similar to the tumor on the lion's head goose, except that it is crisper.

It took more than ten seconds to swallow the piece of bacon, which became saltier and more fragrant the more he chewed it. Without saying anything, Yang Mo took another piece from the bowl and put it in his mouth, then closed his eyes and chewed it carefully like a glutton.

Seeing this guy's intoxicated look, Zhang Wenshun was so jealous that he almost became depressed. Then he picked up the wine glass and took a sip with hatred.

Old White, that idiot who only cares about his own interests! He treats us differently!

Even though that beast hypocritically sent a box of Dongshanjiao, this stuff is indeed a specialty of Tongren area and can be regarded as the most famous wine in the area, but Dongshanjiao is not considered a particularly good wine in Guizhou. A bottle is only six or seven yuan at most, and a box can only have a few yuan. How can it compare with the box of bacon collected specially for Yang Mo?

Others may not know, but how could he, a native of Guizhou, not know?

To get bacon with this texture, in addition to the extremely long smoking time, the pigs used must be raised for at least two years and be big fat boars weighing more than 500 kilograms. Only then can the skin be so thick and the taste so good!
Just for this reason, there are no more than 5,000 pigs in Guizhou that can meet the requirement!
what?
You said this is old wine, so its value is different?
Please!

There are numerous wineries all over the country these days, their number is more than the weeds in the fields. Which winery does not have a pile of unsold old wines from more than ten years ago in its warehouse? Do you really think this thing is that rare?
Besides, although it is true that strong-aroma and cellar-aroma liquors get better with age, those who really know the business know that this stuff, like antiques, depends on the craftsmanship. Just like the earthen bowls used by ordinary people in Ming and Qing dynasties, no matter how well preserved they are, they are only worth a few hundred yuan today. If the craftsmanship of the liquor is not up to standard, the taste may not make you feel more pleasant even after you store it for decades...it may even taste worse than when it first left the factory.

Thinking of this, Zhang Wenshun put down the cup of Dongshanjiao liquor that felt a little off in a depressed mood, and glanced towards the kitchen... Bacon is best eaten immediately after being cooked and washed. Bai Mengmeng has not been assigned a dormitory yet, and the unwashed bacon is placed in the poorly ventilated train room. The smell is really unpredictable. Therefore, the little niece dragged the carton of bacon to her home on the first day she received the package.

As for why this box of bacon was sent to Yang Mo, but Bai Mengmeng wanted to leave it with Zhang Wenshun...

Isn't this obvious?

Miss Mu would run to Yang Mo's house every now and then. Even if Bai Mengmeng had the courage to give it to her, would Yang Mo have the courage to accept it?

Thinking of this, Zhang Wenshun grinned at Yang Mo with some malice... Even if you are extremely capable, don't you still have to come to my house and eat pork?
Humph, this box of bacon is on the dining table in my house. If you don’t eat half of it, I will write the word Zhang backwards!
Thinking of this, a fat guy stretched out his fat hand under the angry gaze of his niece, and got two more big pieces of bacon... got it!
………………

"Hey, kid, haven't you reached an agreement with Sankyo Corporation yet? At today's company meeting, why did Wang Yinuo bring up the experiment of the equity structure of the joint venture for discussion... Did you communicate with him in advance, or did he just come up with it on the spur of the moment and try to give you some advice?"

After dinner, Zhang Wenshun handed Bai Mengmeng a big Chongjiu cigarette while she was collecting and washing dishes, and asked in a casual tone.

Taking the cigarette, Yang Mo opened the cabinet in the living room in a familiar manner and picked at a row of tea cans: "Anyway, I just reported the cooperation project and framework with Sangong Co., Ltd., and applied for a pilot shareholding. I can't control what Mr. Wang thinks."

The implication is obvious: Wang Yinuo himself insisted on bringing this matter to the company meeting for discussion.

Yang Mo randomly picked out a steamed enzyme produced in Dadugang and put a handful of it into two cups: "As for the three companies... who said that we haven't reached an agreement? The basic intention of cooperation has actually been reached. The rest is nothing more than polishing the specific terms and conditions."

Zhang Wenshun picked up a thermos and came over, pouring water into the cup: "Hey, kid, add more tea to my cup, I like strong tea... Have you reached a consensus on the basic intention of cooperation? You have been leaving Sankyo Co., Ltd. aside these days, saying that you need to negotiate with the inspection teams of other countries and have no time. Is it to temper their temper?"

Yang Mo nodded. "It is better to pursue the enemy with all your strength. Since they value these GAP medicinal material planting bases so much, the initiative is entirely on our side. If we don't take advantage of the opportunity of the exchange groups from other countries coming to inspect and negotiate to create a sense of crisis for them, how can we squeeze out more benefits?"

Zhang Wenshun laughed and scolded the little fox, then asked in confusion: "But, kid, in addition to the exchange groups from the island countries, there are also exchange groups from France and Italy. Why do you only show such concern for the Egyptian delegation? Even if it is to create a sense of crisis for Sangong Co., Ltd., it would be more appropriate to choose France as the target... After all, France is a major producer and consumer of skin care products, and France is currently much closer to our country than other countries."

This is true. Later generations of Chinese people generally have a very ordinary impression of France, but in fact, since the 1970s, France has been one of the most friendly countries in Europe and the United States towards China... For a long time, the word "one of" had to be removed.

Yang Mo smiled upon hearing this: "Because France is not enough to make the island country's companies nervous. America is the only country that can make the island country's companies nervous... and Egypt, you know why the relationship between our two countries has suddenly become distant in recent years."

Twenty or thirty years ago, the relationship between China and Egypt was very good, but since the 1970s, as Egypt moved closer to America, the two countries gradually became distant.

But there is a very subtle point in this. For various reasons, the Middle Eastern countries represented by Saudi Arabia have actually been maintaining an appropriate contact with China intentionally or unintentionally. At this time, as the "leader of Arab countries", although Egypt is not so close to China, for some reasons, it still has to represent a group of younger brothers to conduct some not-so-sensitive trade and cooperation with China.

But obviously, if it was just to maintain the historical friendship between the two sides, this would not be the reason why Yang Mo looked up to the Egyptian delegation.

Zhang Wenshun sensitively grasped the key point: "You mean, you want Sangong Co., Ltd. to misunderstand that these Egyptian companies are here to serve as a vanguard for America?"

Yang Mo nodded: "Seeing the ice-breaking trip between China and Japan, the American business community will definitely be tempted... We know this, and the island companies also know it;"

"Although American companies are unlikely to take action this year due to obvious reasons, it is natural to send people to make advances and make contact... America has always been good at using agents, and the business community is no exception. Companies in the island country understand this very well, and even feel it deeply;"

"However, the good news is that, in recent years, with the rise of Kampo medicine in the international market and the continuous expansion of the related market, the American side has actually been tempted and has even begun lobbying to amend the FDA rules... In fact, I doubt whether Tsumura Co., Ltd. and other Japanese pharmaceutical companies are behind this matter;"

"To fool people, you always need to leave some space and imagination for them. Therefore, compared with France and Italy, the enthusiasm shown towards the Egyptian exchange group can make Suzuki Jiken, the old fox, feel a sense of crisis... The reason why I acted so strong during the negotiation and made people show that I was not so interested in cooperation at the beginning was actually to dig a trap."

Zhang Wenshun nodded and said hesitantly, "But, boy, although the scale of this cooperation with Sankyo Co., Ltd. is large, it is all based on the premise that the other party inspects and approves those planting bases... They have already applied to the province to send experts to those villages for inspection. By then... there shouldn't be any problems, right?"

It's no wonder that Zhang Wenshun was a little worried. Since Yang Mo joined the company, although he had dealt with many research institutes of the Bureau of Agriculture and Food, they were all related to fruit, vegetable and broiler breeding, and seemed to have little to do with medicinal material cultivation. Therefore, he was afraid that this guy was talking nonsense in order to hang on to Sangong Co., Ltd. It would be embarrassing if he was exposed in front of the expert team sent by others.

Hearing this, Yang Mo laughed out loud: "Don't worry, nothing will go wrong... Director, you don't think that we didn't conduct any research and professional consultation before we approved those assistance projects, right?"

This is half true and half false.

At the beginning of the project, Momobaitou and Xialiu Marketing Agency did conduct research, deduction and consultation with professionals, but everyone deduced the economy and suitability of these projects. Whether the medicinal materials produced in the planting bases are authentic has not been verified... In fact, there is almost no research in this area in China, and it cannot be verified.

But Yang Mo was not worried. As a reborn person, he naturally knew that among the more than 40 medicinal herb planting projects he invested in, more than half of them were the origins of authentic medicinal herbs... Some of these villages were the locations of GAP medicinal herb planting bases in the future, and some were adjacent to those GAP medicinal herb planting bases. After all, "authentic medicinal herbs" are different from "special medicinal herbs". The latter are of better quality and more irreplaceable, but they cannot be grown outside that small piece of land. The former actually only needs to meet the standards in terms of active ingredients so that it has the efficacy required by the doctor.

Therefore, in a broad sense, as long as the medicinal materials grown in the same micro-soil and climate environment are not those varieties with special traits and environmental requirements, the quality will most likely not be very different... In other words, as long as the technology and management are proper, the rest of the areas with the same geographical and climatic environment nearby, radiating thirty to fifty kilometers with the core production area as the axis, can also produce authentic medicinal materials.

Unlike the mountainous areas in the west, in plains like Qi and Lu, besides donkey-hide gelatin, are there any other authentic medicinal materials that have strict special environmental requirements?

No!

Therefore, you only need to use the soil, microbiome, environment and climate of authentic medicinal materials as a reference, and you can relatively easily find the production areas near the core area where authentic medicinal materials are most likely to be grown... This is true for areas such as Qilu, Henan Province, Hubei, Jiangsu and Anhui, and even the Northeast, which are mainly plains. This is also an important reason why GAP Chinese medicinal material planting bases in these areas are more likely to form scale. After all, the reasons for the formation of authentic medicinal materials in mountainous terrain are more complicated, and the patterns are much more difficult to find.

Of course, this is the experience gained through exploration in later generations, and right now everyone is completely in the dark.

In addition, the soil in many areas of Qi and Lu is not as seriously affected by modern agriculture as it was in later generations. Therefore, Yang Mo is actually very confident about the villages on the list.

Seeing Yang Mo so confident, Zhang Wenshun did not ask any more questions. After all, this guy was full of strange knowledge, and he rarely did things impulsively and disorganizedly, which was common among young people. Since he said there would be no problems, there was a high probability that there would be no problems.

After nodding, Zhang Wenshun took a sip of the tea that seemed to be filled with tea leaves and said, "Even if we reach any cooperation with the delegations from other countries, the Sankyo Co., Ltd. project alone is enough to make Wang Yinuo the center of attention;"

"Haha, we plan to set up four joint ventures at once, with an estimated employment of more than 6500 people... Even if we only arrange half of the jobs for our company's family members, it is still an incredible number;"

"It seems that Wang Yinuo brought this matter up for discussion at the company meeting today just to show off his power."

Looking at the teasing smile on Zhang Wenshun's lips, and thinking of the various bizarre things that happened to the heads of various departments at the meeting today, Yang Mo also laughed.

In order to get a share of the job quota, a number of department heads today used all their long-forgotten skills and flattered others without making a sound; and several other vice presidents also let go of their reserve and directly and implicitly expressed their willingness to exchange some job quotas for the price of jointly supporting the new project's equity experiment.

There is no way. It is an indisputable fact that the treatment in joint ventures is much higher than that in local enterprises. Therefore, these jobs are even more attractive to employees' families than becoming a formal employee... It may be shameful to work in a private enterprise these days, but it is not shameful at all to work in a joint venture.

And most importantly...

That’s at least 6500 jobs!

Even though it is impossible to absorb all the family members of the drilling company due to various considerations, even if there are only 3000 of them, it is an exaggerated number that is enough to drive everyone crazy.

But then again, this year alone, during Wang Yinuo's tenure, the number of jobs created either directly or indirectly by him has reached nearly 4000. If the cooperation project with Sangong Co., Ltd. can be implemented, the number of jobs created for the employees' families will reach ... This is an appalling number. You know, even if some new employees are recruited this year, the total number of employees in the drilling company itself is only a little over .

In this era when every family is worrying about how to reduce staff and increase efficiency, it is indeed a spectacle that a drilling company may actually face a shortage of staff. This alone is enough for Wang Yinuo to steal the limelight.

And don't forget that once the joint venture project with Sankyo Corporation is signed, the remaining at least 3500 jobs will be a tempting big piece of cake. Although this big piece of cake is not enough to make up for the "negative impact" brought about by the previous suspension of the petrochemical industrial park, it is also a bargaining chip that cannot be underestimated.

Yang Mo stroked his chin and glanced at Zhang Wenshun. He naturally knew what this guy was happy about, and shrugged his shoulders: "I estimate that in three to five days at most, Sankyo Co., Ltd. will request to continue the talks, and then we will work out the details of the terms for another week, and it will be time to sign the contract;"

"So, do you want me to go find Vice President Feng and ask him to use his connections to get two authoritative newspapers to report on our President Wang?"

"In this case... maybe we don't have to wait until the end of this year for President Wang to become an advanced representative and receive a promotion order from the Southwest Petroleum Bureau or the Drilling Corporation!"

Zhang Wenshun laughed when he heard this: "It's not convenient for you to go to Vice President Feng for this matter. If you show up, it will be easy to be exposed, which is not good for you... You are already too popular now, it's best to keep a low profile for a while like you did at the meeting today."

As he said this, the fat guy leaned back on the sofa with confidence: "You don't have to worry about this matter, I will arrange it. In short, even if Vice President Feng doesn't need to take action, I will help Wang Yinuo build up this momentum!"

Hearing this, Yang Mo nodded. What he said just now was just a courtesy. As Zhang Wenshun said, although there were reasons for it, he had only been transferred to Momo Baitou as the section chief for a month, and he had made such a big fuss in succession. It was really too conspicuous. If he did not restrain himself in the internal affairs of the company, it would be a way to his death... With money, power, and the ability to make trouble, it would be better for such a department to be honestly responsible for the foreign-related tertiary industry investment work.

As for the fat guy in front of him, the General Office has now become the main department of the drilling company that handles local worker-peasant relations. With sufficient materials, it doesn't seem to be a difficult task to build up momentum layer by layer.

Thinking of this, Yang Mo laughed: "Director, you have to take it easy when you are building momentum, and pay attention to the rhythm. When the meeting ended today, Miss Mu quietly let out a hint that if nothing unexpected happens, these foreign exchange groups will finalize a lot of projects, among which there may be similar joint ventures to build factories, and it is very likely to be in the chemical industry. By then, the funds invested by Mo Mo Bai will definitely not be enough... Do you understand what I mean?"

Zhang Wenshun pondered over this sentence for a while, then suddenly frowned: "Boy, do you mean... that bastard Old Mu is also going to get involved?"

Yang Mo shrugged: "I am not the only one who needs to clean up Mr. Wang's mess. Besides, Miss Mu's father is an ambitious man. Since the previous plan to invest 500 million yuan in the petrochemical industrial park has been stopped, in order to make progress... it is normal for them to change their position to make achievements, right?"

Zhang Wenshun pinched his brows and said, "But the drilling company is not under the jurisdiction of the Dongying Command after all. Even if Mo Mo Bai's investment is not enough, even if Wang Yinuo wants to promote this matter, as long as the company meeting does not pass it, even if Lao Mu has funds, he will not be able to get in!"

Yang Mo shrugged: "So... why do you think our CEO Wang mentioned those 6500 jobs so prominently today?"

Zhang Wenshun's eyes twitched. "Damn it! I mean, such a high-profile style is so incompatible with the style of Wang Yinuo, that jerk. I originally thought that he wanted to use both hardness and softness to shock and appease the Southwest faction in the company. He was just setting the stage for this!"

Yang Mo smiled, then spread his hands: "So, we can't underestimate anyone... In short, it's okay to build momentum for our President Wang and send him to Qingyun, but Director, you have to grasp the scale and rhythm of it, so as not to offend Miss Mu's father... He is a deputy leader, if he really makes trouble for us, it will be enough for both of us to drink a pot."

Zhang Wenshun glared at him in dissatisfaction: "He's just a little frog that I beat up before, how could I be afraid of him!?"

"Hehe, you are really worried about offending your future father-in-law!"

Yang Mo rolled his eyes immediately: "Thank you! How can you tell that he is my future father-in-law!?"

Zhang Wenshun looked at him with disdain: "Stop pretending. The girl from the Mu family comes to you every other day. Even after becoming the deputy section chief of Momo Baitou, she didn't stop. Who can you hide her thoughts from?"

"Before, everyone might have used the reason that you two were not a good match to convince themselves that you two could not possibly be together; but you have become a section-level cadre at such a young age, and a section-level cadre with real power... You have caused two major incidents in just one month since taking office. Now even a blind man can see that you have a bright future. In five years, you will at least be a division-level cadre."

"So, as long as you get together with that girl from the Mu family, do you think that old man Mu Qingyuan would be so stupid as to not even want you as his son-in-law?"

Upon hearing this, Yang Mo felt a little proud, but then he became worried.

To be honest, apart from her strong and cold personality, Miss Mu is a rare talent in every aspect.
If you say that Yang Mo never had any feelings for her, you are lying.

But the problem is...

He really doesn't want to have his stomach washed!
