Time Smuggling Starting from the Year 2000

Chapter 240: Abalone Feast (4)

Views:

The Yang family can be considered one of the top three domestic electronics groups, but after all, it can only be called a group, not a consortium. The main problem is that there is no stable financing method.

The Boston consortium relies on the First National Bank of Boston, and the California consortium relies on Bank of America, not to mention the four major consortiums of Morgan, First Citigroup and Japan. Their core must be dominated by large financial institutions, and with the current situation in China Look, no group has such power yet.

The Yang family is naturally no exception.

Therefore, as the older generations of the Yang family retired one after another, the internal strife within the family gradually increased - this is natural for every family to change generations, but the timing is a little inappropriate.

In other words, the descendants of the Yang family, when fighting for the family property, paid too much attention to the situation inside the house and almost forgot about the situation on the playground.

Therefore, with the Zhu family's series of construction projects in Guangdong, Fujian and other places, and with the full expansion of their marketing network including Hong Kong and Macau, the Yang family's profits plummeted by 40% in the last quarter.

This is almost fatal for a group with a single financing channel.

Because there was no warning in advance, or in other words, no attention was paid to it, when profits dropped, the capital chain suddenly tightened to the edge of collapse. At this time, the Yang family became helpless.

The factory could not be shut down, and the loan credit had reached its limit. At this time, Yang Li was helplessly pulled out. Her reputation could at least unify the Yang family.

Huang Xuan rubbed his head and did not continue to talk about this topic. At this time, his sister-in-law Huang Hange changed the topic smartly and said: "Huang Xuan, I heard that you personally prepared this banquet. What are you going to give your aunt?"

Huang Hange is just 0 years old. According to Huang Xuan, she is likely to fulfill her promise of celibacy. However, my sister-in-law has also been a playful person since she was a child, and she is also very knowledgeable about eating.

"You'll know in a minute." Huang Xuan grinned. He didn't dare to say anything about the two-headed abalone, but three boys clamored about drinking freshly squeezed juice and forced Huang Xuan to accompany them. Go play with the juicer

Eating abalone and drinking juice is always not considered a package, but the three boys are not old enough to eat abalone, so it doesn't matter if they go to squeeze juice with them.

While stuffing the apples, Huang Song peeked into the hall and said, "Sister Ren Ruochan is so beautiful, brother?"

Although this kid was less than 10 years old, his words were full of meaning. Huang Xuan snapped his fingers on his head and said, "What's the problem?"

"No." The three boys shouted in unison and laughed again.

After playing around for a while, Zhou Lian came over and said, "Four young masters, it's time to eat." He wouldn't call them this in normal times, but because he wasn't familiar with Huang Ling and the others, he paid attention.

"Here we come." Huang Xuan said as he took off his crumpled shirt, frowned and looked at the clothes the three boys had rolled on the ground, shook his head helplessly, and said, "Follow me upstairs to change clothes."

Li Wenji had already walked into the hall following the footsteps of eight waiters.

Whether it is the power of the Huang family in Nanjing, Huang Jindi's past and present status, or Huang Yanbang's reputation and the influence of Zhang Xinyi and Huang Xuan in the business world, they are all worthy of Li Wenji's serious consideration. Ah Yi Abalone has no reputation outside China's coastal areas. Unknown, this may be an opportunity.

Huang Xuan changed his clothes as quickly as possible and led the three boys downstairs. Huang Jindi was already seated at the table. He hid behind him quietly, but Zhang Xinyi spotted him and glared at him.

With a sly smile, Huang Xuan found Miss Diao and sat down, and the three of them immediately showed the same expressions as before. Huang Xuan stared.

"Everyone." Li Wenji, wearing a tall chef's hat, clasped his hands and said, "I am the chef of Ah Yi Abalone, Li Wenji. This time, I was invited by Mr. Huang Xuan to specially cook this abalone feast for you."

After he finished speaking, the waiters began to take turns serving the dishes.

The dishes were all placed on white dinner plates with stainless steel lids. The messengers served everyone one portion first, and then Li Wenji said: "The first dish is abalone-wrapped fin meal, which is abalone cooked over a slow fire. Served with Luzon yellow gum shark's fin, fish maw is boiled, then added with old chicken, top meat, etc., and the fish maw juice is milky white, sweet in the mouth, and will not feel greasy. It is even more nourishing and nourishing when eaten with abalone. Take your time Taste." Li Wenji did not emphasize the four-headed abalone. In his opinion, the family should not have any special feelings about the four-headed abalone.

Except for Zhang Xinyi, everyone else only knew that it was a family dinner prepared by Huang Xuan, but they did not know that it was an abalone feast. Huang Jindi smiled at Huang Xuan and took the lead in picking up the chopsticks.

His habit is still to use chopsticks. If there is a need for a knife and fork, Zhou Li will be there to help.

The abalone on the plate is a whole four-headed abalone. The shark's fin is cut into thin strips and wrapped in a net. The thick soup is poured on top. There are broccoli flowers for decoration on both ends of the plate.

Luzon Yellow Gum Shark's Fin is also a top-quality shark's fin treasure, but in this dish, it becomes an ingredient, allowing it to absorb the overly thick soup, so that the abalone will not appear greasy due to the lard-added broth. On the other hand, if the soup is not thick, it will not be easy to absorb the flavor. If the two are combined into one, they go well together.

Huang Xuan used a French table knife with a thin and clean blade to cut a slice. The middle of the abalone slices showed a slightly powdery golden color, which is the so-called runny heart. Gently put it into your mouth with a fork. The abalone tastes rich in the mouth, soft and elastic, with a bit of toughness. The fifth uncle over there, Huang Kunjie, already praised with satisfaction: "This is the long lasting aftertaste, the fragrance on the teeth and cheeks, right?"

"Well, it's indeed good." Huang Jindi wiped his mouth with a table cloth and said, "Xuan'er is more thoughtful this time."

"A friend gave me some abalone. I think our family is not short of such money. It's better to eat it ourselves than sell it, haha." Huang Xuan answered with a smile, also to set the stage.

The little Diao Meimei was not yet proficient in using a knife and fork, and Huang Xuan couldn't help her, so he could only tilt his head to teach her the ropes. Ruochan raised her eyebrows cutely and said, "When we are at home, we all eat with chopsticks."

Abalone was widely eaten by people in the Han Dynasty, and Wang Mang and Cao Cao were famous figures among them. However, the dishes at that time were not as wide as today, so they were mainly eaten directly. Unlike today, the main force of abalone is in coastal areas such as Hong Kong. , naturally mixed with the soup.

The four-headed abalone was the size of two eggs. Everyone was hungry again, so they were all wiped out in a short time. Huang Xuan ate quickly. When he wiped his mouth, the little mink girl had only eaten half of it. He simply laughed. He smiled and said, "Let me cut it for you."

Miss Mink took a peek at the other people on the table and saw that everyone was either busy eating abalone or talking quietly, and no one was paying attention to her, so she nodded slightly.

Huang Xuan brought her dinner plate over with a smile, cut it into pieces for her with a knife and fork, and then said: "Eat quickly, it won't taste good when it gets cold."

Mei Ruochan lowered her eyelids and said softly "Huh".

Hua Zai was waiting aside. Seeing that the dish was about to end, he waved and the second dish was immediately served.

"Bao Luo Wan You Stew." Andy sang and said, "This dish is made of small abalone stewed over slow fire. The main thing is to enjoy its freshness. The soup tastes quite good."

Putting the pots in front of everyone in order, Huang Jindi took a sip first and sighed, "The last time we got together like this was probably the clan meeting in the old house. It's a pity that my two granddaughters didn't come back." He said and sighed again.

Huang Yanbang waved the waiters away and said: "Dad, if you like, we can set a few times every year for everyone to come back for a meal and two days of fun. Anyone who is free can come back. Except for your two granddaughters, Everyone is not far away, even Xuan'er travels around and is in Nanjing most of the time. My two daughters, if you want to see them, you can call them over. "

"As long as you are willing. You don't have to do anything special." Huang Jindi waved his hand and said: "You can just chat and don't worry about me. I will just start, or I will be very bored."

Huang Jindi was very particular about not talking when he was eating, but he was never bored. He looked really old.

When the elder said this, Yang Li also brought up the topic before the meal and said: "Xuan'er, your current factory will be built by the end of the month. Can you get Sony's authorization?"

"Definitely." Huang Xuan smiled. He now has 4.8% of Southwestern Bell's equity. Even after it is diluted with AT&T, it will not be less than 4%. In a company with assets of nearly 100 billion, owning 4% of the equity is enough. In terms of speaking power, he should already be in third place. In this case, unless Sony is willing to lose another 20 billion - if they still have so much money - to rewrite the BD standards, Huang Xuan will become A member of the BD Alliance.

Yang Li looked at Huang Xuan's look and stopped asking. He sipped the soup and said with a crooked eyebrow, "Then you are not going to sign a supply contract with relevant companies now? The demand for raw materials should be huge, right?"

Seeing that his mother was also listening attentively, Huang Xuan pondered for a moment and said, "Auntie, the Zhu family you are talking about is the Zhu family in Shanghai?"

"That's right."

Should have known so. Huang Xuan smiled bitterly and said: "The current first-in-line heir to the Zhu family, named Zhu Xiankui, who I know, has already prepared 1 billion US dollars to build an organic dye factory and a large component production factory first, so... "

Yang Li suddenly became nervous and asked, "Did you agree?"

"Not yet." Huang Xuan shrugged and said, "But I can't promise you now."

Yang Li was silent for a moment. The Yang family's assets are as much as 0 billion US dollars, but this does not mean that they can easily come up with 1 billion US dollars. In fact, according to Yang Li, it is extremely difficult to barely come up with 1 billion US dollars. The problem they are encountering now is that the capital chain is too tight.

But she was also the person who had the power of the group, and she quickly asked: "You just said that the first heir to the Zhu family wants you to join the alliance? Not the Zhu family?"

Huang Xuan had to admire his aunt's sharp sense and admitted: "It was Zhu Xiankui who came to me. This 1 billion US dollars is either his private money or his house."

Yang Li's frown finally eased, and she smiled and said: "Or, I can convince my eldest brother to join forces with this Zhu Xiankui. The Yang family has a complete range of factories, which should be able to meet most of the needs of Blu-ray production, and we also have our own The channel dealers, at least in the early stages of publicity, don’t need you to worry about it.”

"That's fine." Huang Xuan was noncommittal. Anyway, for upstream manufacturers, having multiple downstream suppliers is always better than just one. (To be continued)
