Chapter 296: The crisp and fragrant Bo Bai Cabbage is on the market!
Liu's Building.
The world's No. 1 Chinese restaurant.
Liu Shita Hui and Teacher Ma sat opposite each other, chatting and tasting rare delicacies!
"Mr. Liu, the thing I regret the most in my life is not the creation of Ali Group, but when you came to Hangzhou to find me wanting to invest in Alipay, I rejected you!"
Mr. Ma sighed and said, "If I knew that you were so determined to engage in mobile payment, I should have let you join the shares, and the two of us joined forces, and the situation would be completely different from now!"
Liu Xiahui smiled and said: "No way, my main business is catering, I want to create a catering barrier, establish a moat for the catering group, this mobile payment is an indispensable and important part."
After all, Mr. Ma, you can also see that mobile payment is the trend of the future, and if I want to complete the closed loop of catering, and I don't want to be controlled by others, then I must enter the field of mobile payment. ”
Speaking of this, Liu Xiahui stopped and took a sip of tea, and then continued: "At that time, I went to Hangzhou City to find Mr. Ma, just hoping to be able to invest in Alipay, not asking for how many shares, just to reach a strategic cooperation with Alipay, so that I can successfully complete the closed loop of catering!"
It's a pity that Mr. Ma, you see a bright future in the field of mobile payment, and Ali is not short of money, so your refusal can be regarded as my expectation.
Since you can't buy shares, you can only do it yourself, which is also something that can't be helped!"
Mr. Ma tasted a bite of the moonlit night of the Twenty-four Bridges, and said while savoring it: "At that time, I was full of ambition, Alipay's family was dominant, not only did I refuse Mr. Liu, but I also rejected the capital that I don't know how much I wanted to invest in Alipay."
It's a pity, I underestimated Mr. Liu, you are different from those capitals, I never dreamed that after you were rejected by me, you made WeChat in a blink of an eye, and then launched WeChat payment, during a series of operations I was dazzled, it is really terrifying!"
Liu Xia Hui said with a smile: "Teacher Ma has won the award, this is also a last resort!"
"Mr. Liu, you have no choice but to do so, but you have suffered a lot of losses to me!"
Mr. Ma shook his head, and then said helplessly: "Of course, this is all self-inflicted, in order to compete with your WeChat payment, I have taken out billions of real money, but the market share of Alipay payment is still far behind WeChat payment, this is really a pain in my heart!"
Liu Xiahui laughed and said: "Teacher Ma said that you are joking, your Ali Group has a big business, what is the value of billions?"
Teacher Ma took a sip of tea and sighed: "It's not enough to hurt your muscles and bones, but billions are not a small amount after all, especially when I think that this money can not be paid at all, and there is no strong enemy such as WeChat payment, everything is caused by myself, I can't wait to smoke myself with a big mouth!"
Yanagishita: "......"
Next, the two bigwigs chatted back and forth, although the age difference between the two is a full twenty years, but that is only the surface age, Liu Xia Hui is a human being in two lives after all, in terms of psychological age, the two are actually almost the same.
In addition, Liu Xiahui has witnessed the world pattern and the development of the mobile Internet in the next few years, and when he chatted with Mr. Ma, he was naturally the head of the way, and a casual sentence brought great shock to Mr. Ma's heart, making Mr. Ma more and more energetic, quite a rhythm that could not be stopped.
It wasn't until the meal was almost eaten that Mr. Ma entered the topic and said, "Mr. Liu, I came here this time to talk to you about the competition between Kuaidi and Didi." ”
Hearing this, Liu Xia Hui sat up straight and said, "Teacher Ma has any opinions, please say them, and we will discuss them together!"
Mr. Ma said: "With the outbreak of the money-burning war of taxi-hailing software, in fact, we have already cleared the field, and then the two of us will compete with each other like this, and some of the gains outweigh the losses."
And Mr. Liu, you also know that the state is ready to intervene, and this money-burning promotion has indeed made the taxi software develop rapidly, but due to the rapid development, there have been many problems in our supervision.
For example, the addition of black cars will produce a lot of potential safety hazards, and now these safety hazards have not broken out, but once they break out, it will definitely endanger the entire industry, and it is not surprising that they were ordered to rectify by the state.
Therefore, before the country has taken action, we had better stop burning money to promote, and then comprehensively rectify the taxi software and remove those potential safety hazards, which is the business strategy for sustainable development!"
Hearing this, Yanagi Hui praised: "Teacher Ma is really far-sighted!"
He has experienced it, so he naturally knows the potential safety hazards of online car-hailing, even if Mr. Ma didn't find it this time, this year Liu Xiahui plans to vigorously rectify Didi and put an end to the sensational cases that happened in his previous life that caused the whole network.
And Mr. Ma, I have not experienced it, everything comes from vision, I can see such potential safety hazards when the taxi software is booming, and pay attention to it, I have to say that the success of Mr. Ma is not accidental!
Teacher Ma is also a master of observing words and feelings, and when he heard this, he shook his head and said, "Mr. Liu, don't praise me, I'm afraid you have already thought of what I said, right?"
Yanagishita Hui smiled but didn't say anything!
Teacher Ma, who knew it in his heart, suddenly proposed: "Mr. Liu, how about you say that we should promote the merger of Didi and Kuaidi?"
Liu Xiahui looked at Teacher Ma, was silent for about three seconds, and said with a smile: "It's okay, I'm okay here!"
After speaking, the two bigwigs looked at each other and smiled, both understanding each other's thoughts.
Don't look like it's just a casual sentence, but behind it is the result of careful consideration by the two of them.
After all, taxi software has been continuously invested because of competition and eagerness to open up the market, if Kuaidi and Didi do not merge, I don't know how to make a profit in the year of the monkey!
After setting the tone of the merger, the next thing to discuss is the proportion of shares and the operation after the merger.
Although Liu Xiahui and Mr. Ma are not the founders of Didi and Kuaidi, with the outbreak of the war of burning money in taxi software, the two bigwigs continue to invest money, so that the two bigwigs have controlled Didi and Kuaidi and have the absolute right to speak.
This is also the reason why the two can negotiate on behalf of their respective taxi-hailing software without going through other shareholders, anyway, there will be basically no objection to what the two decide!
What's more, including the founders of Didi and Kuaidi, they actually don't want to burn money anymore, as long as Liu Xiahui and Mr. Ma are willing to strike, it's too late for them to be happy, how can they object?
So, the day after Liu Xiahui met with Mr. Ma, Didi and Kuaidi, the two taxi apps that were getting started, issued notices one after another to stop subsidies for drivers and passengers.
A week later, the two largest remaining taxi apps in China officially announced their merger.
After the merger of the two, the APP name Didi Dache is still used.
So far, Didi Dache is the dominant company and has no rivals in the domestic taxi market.
......
At the same time as the merger of Didi and Kuaidi, Bobai Cabbage also began to go on the market.
Compared with other water spinach, the biggest feature of Bobai cabbage is that the stem has few long leaves, and only the slender young leaves are sparsely pulled at the end of the stem. It is planted in paddy fields, so it grows well, more than a meter high, throw it to the ground, and with a snap, it may break into two knots from the middle, which is extremely crisp!
It is a well-known fact that most green vegetables, including water spinach from other places, will change color after a little longer after they are cooked, let alone overnight.
But Bobai cabbage is different, whether it is blanched or fried, it still remains emerald green after cooking, and even after overnight, it can still be as fresh as ever.
At this time, although the cold storage group built in Bainiu Town has not yet been completed, most of it can be put into use, and the logistics have already been formed.
Therefore, with the listing of Bobai bracken, cold chain logistics began to play a role, and before dawn, the vegetable farmers sent the bracken picked by the vegetable farmers at four or five o'clock in the morning to the stores of Laoliu Catering.
Of course, because the output is not high enough, Liu's Group does not mean to send it to the national market, but focuses on the markets of Guangdong and Guizhou provinces, as well as the heavyweight cities of "Beijing, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan".
......
In China, at least nine out of ten pairs of mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law are incompatible, and the issue of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law has become one of the most difficult problems to solve in China.
Of course, there are very few mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law who get along more closely than real mothers and daughters, and Yang Hong and her daughter-in-law are one of them.
Originally, Yang Hong's family rarely went out to eat, and rarely bought cooked vegetables to eat, not to save money, and their family was not short of money, but they felt that the things outside were unhygienic, so they still bought them back and ate them themselves.
However, since her daughter-in-law married into their family, in order to accommodate her daughter-in-law, Yang Hong will go out to eat every once in a while, and from time to time she will buy a cooked vegetable outside to eat.
At noon today, thinking that her daughter-in-law's appetite didn't seem to be very good in the past two days, Yang Hong planned to go to Lao Liu Baiche to buy some of her daughter-in-law's favorite white cuts, and then buy some green vegetables to go back, so that she could solve a meal.
When I came to the old willow white cut next to the vegetable market, I saw many customers pointing around, not knowing what they were talking about, which seemed to be a little different from the usual queue to buy white cut.
The curious Yang Hong leaned over.
As a result, it was found that the guests were surrounding a pile of green vegetables, which was instantly recognizable as water spinach, but it was very different from the water spinach that was usually bought at the market.
On the left and right sides of this water spinach, there is an erected billboard, and after reading the content of the two billboards, Yang Hong realized that this water spinach is produced in Bobai County, Gui Province, and is called bracken by the locals.
The content on the billboard on the left blows the Bo Bai Cabbage to a big day, and it almost says that eating this Bo Bai Cabbage can be immortal!
The content on the billboard on the right is the cooking method of Bobai bracket and the picture of the finished product.
In addition, there is also the price of Bobai cabbage: 8 yuan / catty.
"I didn't expect to see Bo Bai Cabbage here, a few years ago I was fortunate to eat once in the provincial capital of Gui Province, although the taste is not as exaggerated as the billboard said, but it is indeed a few streets away from other water spinach, the crisp taste is still unforgettable, I have to buy some and go back to taste what I said today!"
"I haven't tasted the taste of this water spinach, but this appearance is really the best choice, it is too tender at first glance, I will also buy some and go back to try it!"
—————
"Looks good, but it's too expensive, isn't it?"
"It's a bit expensive!"
“......”
Many customers have a lot of discussions, although many people are too expensive, but there are also many people who are willing to buy some and go back to try it.
Yang Hong didn't think about the price, after she kept the cooking method of this Bobai bracken in mind, she lined up to buy a few white cuts, and then bought a handful of Bobai bracken, and then went home to prepare lunch.
The meat dishes already have white cuts, so Yang Hong only needs to wash the rice to cook the rice, and then fry the Bo white cabbage to get it done.
When choosing vegetables, Yang Hong finally felt the crispness and tenderness of this Bobai cabbage, which really snapped and broke off with a slight fold, and he had never seen such a crisp and tender water spinach.
Wash and drain the cabbage, then take out five or six cloves of garlic and crush them with a knife for later use.
Among the two classic cooking methods of Bobai cabbage, Yang Hong chose stir-frying, which is easier to operate and has a good taste.
This stir-fried Bobai bracken, the emphasis is on stir-frying on high heat, in one go, so the time required is very short, Yang Hong waited until his son and daughter-in-law got off work before starting to do it.
Heat up the oil pan, put the washed and drained Bobai cabbage into the pot, and then turn it quickly, while adding the appropriate amount of salt and light soy sauce, the chicken essence can be put or not, put in the crushed garlic before the pot, and stir-fry a few times out of the pot!
Excluding the hot pot time, it takes less than a minute from throwing the Bobai cabbage into the pot to serving it out, which is the real stir-fry!
In the garlic restaurant, the fragrance is burst out of the pot first, but that is because the stove in the restaurant is full of firepower, and you can fry the water spinach on low heat and then fry it on high heat.
If it is a family version, due to the lack of firepower, so when the oil pan is hot, try to make the temperature a little higher, at this time it is not suitable to fry the garlic first, because the oil temperature is high, the garlic will be burned in the pot twice, and then put it when the dish is about to come out of the pot, the garlic fragrance is as strong, and the appearance will be very beautiful!
Yang Hong stir-fried out of the pot, a smell of garlic and the unique fragrance of Bobai cabbage wafted out, and her daughter-in-law immediately exclaimed in the living room: "Mom, what kind of green vegetables are you stir-frying so fragrant?"
Yang Hong said with a smile: "The fried green vegetable is called Bobai cabbage, which is actually water spinach, but this water spinach is not the same as what we usually eat, and what it tastes like will only be known after eating!"
The daughter-in-law, who had already entered the kitchen, hurriedly picked up the emerald green Bo Bai Cabbage, took a deep breath, and said, "Wow, is this called Bo Bai Cabbage?
A minute later.
"Wow, crispy, refreshing and with a unique fragrance, this Bobai bracken is so delicious!"
"No wonder people blow this Bo white cabbage so loudly, and sell it for eight yuan a catty, this taste is really good!"
"Mom, where did you buy this Bo Bai Cabbage, why haven't you bought it before?"
"I've never seen this Bo Bai Cabbage for sale before, this time I went to Lao Liu Bai Che to buy Bai Che, and I knew that there was a Bo Bai Cabbage that had just been put on the market!"
"Mom, buy more of this dish in the future, it tastes really good!"
"Well, I'll go back in the afternoon to see if there's anything on sale, and if so, I'll buy more and come back, and then change to another cooking method that is known as a classic, and see how it tastes!"
