Doing business is actually similar to fighting a war, and it is also about the right time, place and people.

The velvet business is very affected by the climate and environment, the best fluff is produced in the cold zone, the water and grass are abundant, the nutrition is rich, the cold season is long, the variety is excellent, the breeding is scientific, the collection method, these six links are done, and the early foundation work of producing good velvet is completed.

Li Muye gushed endlessly: " The latter three conditions are artificially controllable, and the first three conditions can only rely on the sky to eat, this is the right time and place, but even if the two are complete, it is still inseparable from the last person, if the political environment is turbulent, even if there is a good natural environment, it is in vain, so calculated, even if the eyes are located in the world, there are few suitable places, high-altitude areas have limited production capacity, North America can not reach into it, South America has higher operating costs, and the only suitable areas that are fully qualified are actually the Far East and Outer Mongolia. ”

"Why isn't it Xinjiang or Inner Mongolia in China?" Shen Peijun deliberately tested Li Muye.

"Policy factors and the human environment, as well as pressures on the natural environment. Li Muye returned without hesitation.

"Did you do some homework before we came?" asked Shen Peijun.

Li Muye nodded calmly and said, "It is true that I have done some understanding of the Shen company. ”

"It's just that I've done some understanding?" Shen Peijun was a little suspicious and glanced at his daughter beside him.

Shen Xinming immediately raised his hand and said, "Heaven and earth conscience, I called Brother Li when I was with you in the car, and he didn't know that you were coming before this." ”

Li Muye said with a smile: "Sharpen the gun, plus a little experience in international trade and judgment of the market." ”

Shen Peijun said: "It is necessary to count the judgment of many aspects such as region, humanities, history, consumer psychology, economic situation, etc., which requires rich life experience and rich brain wisdom." ”

Li Muye is humble, where, where. He added: "The main thing is that the Shen family is too famous, and the marketing action of 10,000 gold for wool that you led last year can be called a classic, which has made those foreigners in the same industry look at the Shen family with admiration." ”

"But that's not enough. Shen Peijun said: "Australians are too greedy, and the lack of competition will only make them more and more unscrupulous." ”

Li Muye said: "Therefore, my constructive suggestion is to develop improved pastures to the north. ”

"I think the same way, but it's easier said than done. Shen Peijun said.

Li Muye said: "It is indeed difficult to say that it is difficult, it is not impossible to say that it is easy, there is no shortage of regional strong people in any region, the key is to see whether you can find the right partner, as long as you can find the right person, there is still a good chance to get things done." ”

"You have done international trade over there, you should know the humanistic and social environment over there, right?" Shen Peijun asked quietly.

Li Muye said bluntly: "I can't say how much I know, but there are indeed some stable channels that are not affected by changes in the local political environment. ”

There is no such thing as a free lunch. The more astute and powerful the businessman, the more he understands this, and the more he understands the value of rational use of talents and resources.

Shen Peijun glanced at his wife beside him.

Mao Xinping immediately glanced at the time, and then said: "Look at the two of you talking too speculatively, forget about the major events of eating, it's almost twelve o'clock in a flash, people are iron rice and steel, and the emperor is not short of hungry soldiers, listen to Auntie, let's find a place to have a light meal, you have to give this face to Auntie no matter what." ”

The place to eat was chosen to be Yipinju under the command of a restaurant chain group from Nanyang, which is known as Sichuan, Lu, Huai and Yangyue.

The dishes are selected by Mao Xinping. It is mainly Huaiyang cuisine, supplemented by Lu cuisine.

Huaiyang cuisine is made of exquisite materials, exquisite knife workmanship, complicated workmanship, and the price is relatively unfriendly to the people.

Huaiyang cuisine was served in the Ming and Qing dynasties, and a considerable part of the Manchu and Han banquets were Huaiyang cuisine. It was influenced a lot by Anhui cuisine, because the Huizhou merchants were very powerful at that time, and the assets of the Huizhou merchants in their heyday once accounted for more than half of the country's total assets.

According to the record of "Yangzhou Painting Boat Record", there was a Hui merchant named Jiang Chun in the Qing Dynasty who could be called the richest man. One of the most famous things that this rich man did is to "pile up salt overnight to build a white tower", according to legend, Qianlong traveled to Yangzhou that year, saw the scenery of the Slender West Lake and Beijing Beihai is quite similar, but there is no white tower to feel a little regretful, Jiang Chun who accompanied the tour understood the holy will very much, and ordered people to pile up one with salt overnight according to the appearance of the white tower in Beihai, and the next day Qianlong saw this tower Longyan Dayue. After Qianlong left, the real white pagoda was built here.

Shen Peijun chose Huaiyang cuisine as the main dish, perhaps to express the gesture of business heirlooms.

And why did you choose a few Lu dishes to accompany it?

In the past, there was a saying that Sichuan cuisine was for the common people, Huaiyang cuisine and Cantonese cuisine were for literati and merchants, and Lu cuisine was for officials.

Shandong cuisine is the most influential and longest-standing of the four major cuisines. The birthplace of Lu cuisine gave birth to the way of Confucius and Mencius and the famous Confucian culture, and Sima Qian once wrote in the historical records: "The world's virtues are all from Yu Shun's beginning."

The rise of Lu cuisine was in the Qing Dynasty, and in the past, many Shandong people came to Beijing to be officials, and their families and cooks brought Lu cuisine to the capital.

During the Republic of China, Shandong cuisine reached its peak, and more than seventy percent of the restaurants at that time operated Shandong cuisine. In that era when the city changed the banner of the king, the officials were in the opposition today, and they would go to the field tomorrow if they didn't want to do it. The relationship between eating and walking is frequent, the location is naturally exquisite, and the eight buildings, the eight springs and the eight residences are all famous restaurants based on Lu cuisine. As a result, a conventional consensus was gradually formed, and most of the guests in the officialdom were mainly Shandong cuisine.

Shen Peijun picked a few Lu dishes to serve as a foil, which happened to respond to Hu Xueyan's old order that businessmen should not leave their officials, their wealth should not leave their power, and their morals should not be separated.

The Tao is the mandate of heaven, the balance of businessmen can be said to be the way of heaven, virtue is artificial, and the official tree law can be said to convince people with virtue.

This is the highest level of reception, and he really regards Li Muye as a business wizard worthy of intersecting.

I remember when I was a child and Li Qizhi ran the rivers and lakes, I heard him say that Lao Qian's line of work was slightly inferior to that of robbers. If the robbers do a good job, they can become emperors, and Lao Qian will be the prince and general if he does his best. Courage is not as good as that of a robber, but strategy is slightly better. The highest level is the straight hook fishing wisher on the bait.

At the banquet, Shen Peijun didn't mention anything about business, while Mao Xinping sang the protagonist and asked who else was in Li Muye's family. Li Muye said that only one sister is now missing. Mao Xinping wanted to ask about Li Muye's parents, but got such an answer. The atmosphere was slightly awkward, and she smiled.

At this time, Shen Xinming said: "Brother Li has studied Chinese food culture, Mom, haven't you been learning to please your husband's stomach recently?"

"Ah, Xiao Li, you still have research on cooking. Mao Xinping diverted the topic, and the atmosphere suddenly returned.

Li Muye said with a smile: "I don't dare to say big things about business, but I still have a little confidence in cooking." ”

"Have you studied this dish?" Shen Peijun suddenly asked quietly.

Li Muye immediately replied: "Since you have come to Shanghai, how can you not dabble in famous dishes on the sea?"

Shen Peijun said: "Although this local dish is not as diverse as the dishes of Sichuan, Lu, Huaiyue, but in terms of exquisite and elegant, it is not bad at all, it can be said that it is a hall and a kitchen, to be enthusiastic she has a thick oil red sauce, to be light, she has a bad bean soup, the general feature is that the taste is soft and glutinous and easy to digest, if this person pays attention to health, it is good to eat more local dishes." ”

Li Muye nodded and said: "Mr. Shen is very knowledgeable, and every sentence is on point, and I, who claims to study cooking skills, am ashamed of myself." ”

Mao Xinping said with a smile: "What Lao Shen said is a bit like the characteristics of our Shanghai girls. Suddenly, he asked, "Xiao Li, you came to Shanghai alone, right?" ”

Li Muye thought for a while and said, "Auntie, don't look at me young, in fact, I had a failed marriage when I was in Russia, and I just divorced for a few months. ”

"Ahh ”

Li Muye said: "It doesn't matter, life is diverse, we always have to face all kinds of difficulties, and it is not particularly difficult for me to accept." ”

Shen Peijun said: "It is inevitable that a big hero will not have a good wife or a good child, and everyone yearns for the marriage of Qin Se and Ming, but not everyone can have it." ”

Li Muye said: "What Mr. Shen said is true. ”

"Don't talk about the unpleasant thing. Shen Peijun changed his words and asked again: "What hobbies does Xiao Li usually have?"

"I rarely do anything other than cook and read. Li Muye said: "I have just arrived, and I haven't figured out the way yet." ”

Shen Xinming didn't seem to be affected by the news of Li Muye's divorce, and she was even a little lucky. Maybe in her mind, a man like Brother Li must have already become famous, and divorce is not bad news for her to accept.

The atmosphere at the table was relatively relaxed, and she actively interjected: "Brother Li's skills are amazing, I heard Xiaoqi say that they have reached the professional level." ”

"Oh?" Shen Peijun's eyes lit up, and he said, "It turns out that Xiao Li is still an all-round talent in civil and military affairs." ”

Since Mao Xinping heard the word divorce, the whole person seemed to be lacking in interest. Shen Peijun saw the change in his wife's mood, and suddenly said: "Old woman, didn't you ask someone to play cards?" Go, I hit it off with Xiao Li at first sight, and I don't know when this meal will be eaten, let Xinming stay to help us pour vegetables and wine, you go and get busy with yours." ”

"You drink less, too. Mao Xinping advised. got up and said politely to Li Muye's forehead. Li Muye politely got up to see him off. Mao Xinping turned his head when he walked to the door, glanced at Li Muye deeply, and sighed softly.

Shen Peijun beckoned Li Muye back to the wine table, and said with a smile: "Your aunt is like this, her daughter is older, and when she sees an outstanding young man, she wants to recruit her as an old son-in-law, it is completely the residual poison of feudal thinking that has not been cleaned up, my daughter Shen Peijun, let alone being so well-behaved and outstanding, even if she is unsatisfactory, will she still worry about marrying?"

Li Muye said: "You are too modest, Xinming's little sister is good-looking, has a good temperament, and has a good family background, a man will like it, and the aunt is just concerned about it." ”

Shen Peijun waved his hand and said, "Don't talk about this." He added: "We just talked about hobbies, and I actually like sports too." ”

"What is Mr. Shen good at?" Li Muye gave him a polite remark.

Shen Peijun said: "I like golf the most, I don't play well, most of the time I can only play monsters, only once I hit an albatross on a long hole." ”

Li Muye is no stranger to golf, a so-called gentleman's sport, with a total of 18 holes of varying lengths and par scores. The monster in Shen Peijun's mouth refers to the number of strokes above par to complete the hole, while the albatross refers to hitting a good shot of three under par on a long hole.

"It turns out that Mr. Shen likes golf. Li Muye smiled indifferently and said: "I also played a lot when I was in Moscow, but my level was not high, and I never played an albatross ball, so I must ask you for advice when I have the opportunity." ”

"Then it's decided!" Shen Peijun immediately said: "Another day, I will invite a few famous people in the maritime business world to learn from your brother together." ”

Shen Xinming was serving vegetables to her father, and when she heard the word "brother", her hand was hanging there and suddenly stopped moving......
