Li Wenji simmered the broth over a slow fire, which Hong Kong people call soup. The ingredients he prepared today include bird's nest, old hen, pork ribs, Korean ginseng, wolfberry and red dates, etc. Since the abalone is very large, the cooking method also requires a long time and slow cooking time. Braised abalone is slightly different.
After scooping up the soup and taking a sip, Li Wenji waved Andy over and said in a loud voice: "Preserved egg, are the abalone soaked rice ready?"
"It's almost done." Pidan took off his gloves as he spoke and said, "I just took a closer look. There is also abalone in there, and the runny heart is also very thick. It's best for making snacks."
Li Wenji nodded, glanced at the glass, and said with a smile: "When Wang Mang usurped power, he couldn't eat anything. Only abalone rice can be eaten. The abalone used in this dish is no matter the size. If you can cook it well, , even if there are no more six-headed abalone in the world, you don’t have to worry about not being able to survive.”
"Master, you know I only went to middle school. I don't understand Wang Mang or anything like that, but this Hemp Abalone is really good. Look at it, it's quite upright." He said, taking out a Hemp Abalone and handing it to Li Wenji.
Authentic Hema abalone is also called Wo Ma abalone. Because it grows in the cracks of rocks, hooks are used to catch abalone, so the pinholes left behind have become an iconic feature. Precisely because its growing environment is more Bad, so its size is smaller.
Li Wenji looked at the hemp abalone brought out by his apprentice twice and praised: "It's been at least 10 years old. It's the best."
Over there, Andy asked strangely: "The longer the abalone, the better?" He is a newcomer to Fulin. According to the rules, he has not even entered the special abalone cooking room - this is also Yang Guanyi's first.
"Then where do you think the watery taste comes from?" Li Wenji smiled especially today and explained: "Abalone can be divided into old and new abalone. The older the dried abalone, the color changes from translucent flesh color to brown. Generally speaking, old abalone The taste is stronger and more fragrant than that of freshly dried abalone, because during the storage process, the abalone is slowly 'enzymatically' internally processed at a suitable temperature. Do you know what enzymatication is? When eating big abalone, you must have a soft heart, otherwise fresh abalone is 10 times bigger than dried abalone, so why bother drying it?”
"Aren't these abalones very powerful?" Hua Zai said in surprise.
"Even if you are a superstar singer in Hong Kong, you still can't afford this meal." The preserved egg said with a "cut" sound.
Due to Japan's seclusion before the Black Ship Incident, many abalones, especially small abalones, had been backlogged for a long time. Therefore, the abalones Li Wenji saw now were all dried abalones that had been stored for a long time. He looked at them one by one with satisfaction. , just then he washed his hands and said: "Everyone cheer up, there is only 7 o'clock in the hour. In addition to making soup, other things will also start." The soup has been prepared for days, and it has a rich taste.
"Yes." A very neat promise.
What most people understand as eating abalone is the traditional way of eating abalone, which is to stew the abalone over a slow fire for up to 0 hours, and some even use a casserole with a gentler heat transfer. The advantage of this is that abalone is very delicious, but the disadvantage is that the taste of abalone is easily broken up by the auxiliary ingredients.
Small abalone, or abalone that is not soft-boiled, will not get worse if cooked in this way, and it will easily make the taste richer. However, the larger the abalone, the more it should maintain its original flavor. After simmering for 0 hours, there is not much difference between two-headed abalone and four-headed abalone. In this regard, Li Wenji is better than most abalone masters.
In the room, Huang Xuan was describing his prospects for BD to his grandfather. Huang Yanbang listened carefully. His fourth uncle Huang Zhibo was also sitting aside. Although it was a family dinner, the family sat together and talked, not just talked about. When it comes to politics, it comes to business. To put it mildly, it can be considered a family tradition.
"The factory will be completed by the end of the month. At that time, Sony's vice president Nakagawa Yu will lead a delegation to visit. I want him to see a factory with strict management, low cost and a productivity that exceeds Sony's average by 100%. Factory." Huang Xuan said confidently: "At that time, Sony will share the profits with me."
"How do you know that the president of Sony will not simply give up some of his interests and completely nip Hexin Industrial in the bud because your threat is too great? He has the right to decide whether Hexin can enter the Blu-ray Alliance." Huang Zhibo whispered. Asked, he is also determined to enter politics. Now he is the secretary of the mayor of Yenan City. He is in his early 00s at the department level. He is considered young and promising, so he naturally thinks more.
Huang Xuan has been planning how to enter the BD alliance from the beginning. In fact, this is indeed the most difficult place. Due to China's national conditions, although the number of domestic wealthy people is increasing day by day, there are countless groups that can invest tens of billions of dollars. , but whether they are Japanese, American or European companies, they are psychologically repelling China from entering their monopoly groups. There are some ideological and official factors here. When it is more driven by interests, they oppose China's cheap industries. System - there is no comparability between workers with a monthly salary of 600 yuan and workers with a monthly salary of 000 US dollars. Even if the latter's productivity can be increased 10 times, it will be useless. Once this low-cost industrial system is started, it will soon suppress manufacturing profits. To rock bottom—Americans call it dumping. If foreign groups continue to share technological profits with China, it will be like the era of self-produced and self-sold VCDs and DVDs without royalties. In less than two years, these original companies from abroad will have no place to stand, and the Chinese market will definitely They are all made in China.
This is a problem that is easy to understand. Those professional managers who earn millions of dollars every year naturally know it clearly. Therefore, in any field involving monopoly technology, they will forcefully add many additional clauses, and China has always been very strict. The mild response suggests that splitting manufacturing profits from technical profits can satisfy both parties.
However, it is not always satisfactory.
Because the profit margins of the latter will become larger and larger, while those of the former will become smaller and smaller. As third world countries gradually complete industrialization, China will have more and more competitors, so it will increasingly hope to squeeze in. First echelon.
Huang Xuan glanced at his mother, but still did not tell him about Southwestern Bell. He just smiled and said: "It is Sony that decides whether Hexin can enter the Blu-ray Alliance, not Shuhei Yoshida. Well, Shuhei Yoshida is the president of Sony. Again The reporter said that if Sony forces me, I will make pirated BD discs. In half a year, my Blu-ray transistor project will be launched. I will buy some control ICs or develop them myself. Hexin will even be able to make pirated players. At that time, I’m afraid Sony won’t even get the cost back.”
None of the three people in politics understood what he said. Only Zhang Xinyi understood that piracy before BD is mature is just nonsense. If it really ends up in that situation, it is better to sell the iron to pay off the loan. .
However, Huang Xuan's aunt Yang Li's eyes lit up and she said, "Then you are not going to produce Blu-ray players now? I heard that you have a similar patent?"
When Huang Xuan registered patents that day, it was like buying cabbage. He picked up almost everything and registered it. Now that he thinks about it, it would really cost Sony a lot of money to bypass these patents. Hearing what his aunt said, he smiled and said: "I said I borrowed 14 billion U.S. dollars, but now I have only used less than 500 million U.S. dollars. But if we really need to spread the business, I'm afraid the money won't be enough, if nothing else. , Sony has spent more money than this in the past two years, but there are only two factories, and for example, blue light transistors, even if they are launched, they can rarely hire suitable production workers, so I am hiring now , and it will take at least three to five months of training before starting work, and the yield rate must be very low. My idea is to focus on making two or three types of accessories and strive to have global pricing power.”
Global pricing power is a very broad concept. Generally speaking, if you have 10% of the global share, you can pursue lower prices to suppress your opponents. However, if you want to change prices at will and obtain above-average profits, this The share should be above 50%, such as auto parts and precision instruments. If it is an emerging industry or an industry with low barriers to entry, such as Blu-ray discs, the share must be above 80% before you can do whatever you want.
Yang Li raised her eyebrows and said, "What about the supporting industries?"
"China's industrial costs are so low, so of course we have to purchase them locally."
"Do you need help?" Yang Li said this. Huang Yanbang looked at her strangely, but did not object.
Huang Xuanze was full of surprise. Speaking of which, his aunt was also a famous figure. Before marrying Huang Yanbang, Yang Li was the chief shopkeeper of the Yang family. Of course, at that time, the Yang family was not as powerful as it is today, but it was already a big family that had spread its branches. Although Huang Xuan did not understand the details, compared with the current situation of the Huang family, they could retreat bravely and survive. It is not easy to maintain considerable influence.
Zhang Xinyi said in a soothing tone at this time: "Sister-in-law, how is the Yang family doing?"
"You know my eldest brother." Yang Li shook his head and said, "The Zhu family's electronic products are also very prosperous. Their factory in Guangzhou has lower costs. My eldest brother is unwilling to move the factory from highland areas such as Shanghai and Hangzhou. With the regional withdrawal and the current rising R&D costs, it’s really hard to say if things don’t change.”
Yang Li said and looked at Huang Xuan again, but he didn't dare to agree easily. He thought about it and said: "Then if Auntie wants to join, please ask the person in charge to meet with me."
Although he was only 17 years old or less, when Huang Xuan said this, the whole family thought it was very appropriate, which he proved with facts. (To be continued)
