Chapter Seventy-Three: Non-stop
The night in the town is quiet and quiet, and the living room of Chu Mei's house is still brightly lit, the fragrance of tea is overflowing, and hearty laughter is heard from time to time.
Chu Mei's uncle learned that Zhu Daolin did not open a large factory by himself to buy the recipe and brewing process of koji, but sent it to distant Myanmar to those Chinese who were exiled, and immediately agreed to Zhu Daolin's request, and was only willing to accept Zhu Daolin's 20,000 yuan, so he went home and took the old thread-bound book that recorded the brewing techniques of the four koji recipes and two fine wines, and gave Zhu Daolin the business card of the best brewing equipment manufacturer in Taizhou, and told Zhu Daolin that his home is now using the improved compound distillation equipment of the Taizhou factory. Both the materials and the manufacturing accuracy are impeccable, and the goods are really good.
Chu Mei's old father put on reading glasses, took out the calligraphy and painting rice paper that he was usually reluctant to use, and used a brush to neatly copy the recipe and brewing process for Zhu Daolin.
Early the next morning, Zhu Daolin, who was staying in Chu Mei's guest room, had not yet finished washing, and the old and young at home had already prepared a hearty breakfast.
Chu Mei's uncle specially brought a small cardboard box from home, which contained four kinds of koji for his own use, which were packed in four small bags of flour bag reconstruction, one pound per bag, neatly placed, and a small piece of cardboard was tied to the small red rope at the mouth of the bag, on which the neat small block written with a brush indicated the type of koji.
Zhu Daolin, who accepted the generous gift, secretly sighed, and before leaving, he specially called Chu Mei to the back room, took out a bundle of 100,000 bundles of cash from the suitcase and handed it to Chu Mei:
"The value of the formula and process technology that your uncle gave me is far more than 100,000 yuan, although he is generous, but we can't let the elders suffer as juniors......"
"You quietly take this money to your uncle's house, give it to your aunt, if she refuses to accept it, just say that you lent it to their family to expand production, and then come back quickly, go directly to the city to meet with Master Zhang, and strive to rush to Taizhou before dinner, and deal with it in Taizhou tonight, and talk about it tomorrow."
Chu Mei understood Zhu Daolin's mood very well, but after paying so much money at once, Chu Mei still didn't know what to do, and finally under Zhu Daolin's patient persuasion, Chu Mei finally agreed, and quietly went to her uncle's house from the back door, and came back in less than five minutes, and I don't know what method the cunning Zhu Daolin used, at this time he had already driven the car to the door, and was saying goodbye to his family one by one.
A few minutes later, Chu Mei and Zhu Daolin drove out of the town with large bags and small bags of local specialties under the eyes of their relatives, and when Chu Mei's aunt felt that something was wrong and hurriedly rushed to the door of Chu Mei's house with 100,000 yuan wrapped in newspapers, the white Audi car had long since disappeared.
After listening to Aunt Chu Mei's stammering, the relatives gathered at the gate quickly understood, Chu Mei's old father sighed, and whispered to persuade his brother-in-law to accept it with peace of mind, Chu Mei's uncle was moved to tears, looking at the direction where the car disappeared and refused to move for a long time.
The day after Zhu Daolin left, she put all her energy into work, adjusted the annual work plan of the group company under her name, and went to the film and television base early the next morning to inspect the progress of the infrastructure project, held an enlarged meeting of the management of the film and television base, and clearly put forward the work goal of completing all the projects on June 30 and holding the inauguration ceremony on August 1.
At the end of the meeting, Song Shaojun rushed back to the group company in Jinling City to deal with urgent matters. As soon as she left, He Sujie, deputy general manager of the base, quietly called Lu Tao in the capital and told Lu Tao that Song Shaojun had given a verbal notice before the end of the meeting that Chairman Zhu Daolin would come to the film and television base to inspect the morning after tomorrow, and formally meet with the two vice presidents and department managers including her He Sujie, and listen to the work reports of various departments.
Lu Tao originally planned to stay at home in the capital to spend the Lantern Festival and then go south to Shanghai and Nanjing, but after receiving He Sujie's whistleblowing, he immediately changed his plan, ordered his personal bodyguard to notify the three-person team of the security department of the Shanghai company, rushed to Jinling to prepare, and then instructed his assistant to book a flight to Jinling the next afternoon, he would go to Jinling in person to sit in the town, and watch the surname Zhu be disabled.
Zhu Daolin didn't know anything about what happened in Jinling, the trip to Longquan and Taizhou was very smooth, he and Chu Mei left Chu Mei's hometown and arrived at Longquan Sword Factory, Master Zhang Yesheng and several of his apprentices had been waiting for a long time, and they couldn't help but lead Zhu Daolin and the two directly to the wine table, each of them drank three glasses of Longquan wine before they could speak, and then the cups and cups were staggered between the guests and hosts, talking and laughing, just like good brothers who have known each other for many years.
Master Zhang and his three senior apprentices were all strong martial arts practitioners, and the amount of alcohol was above ordinary people, under the repeated attacks of their masters and apprentices, Zhu Daolin finally couldn't stand it, and had to take out the drawings prepared in advance to disperse the firepower.
Master Zhang happily took the drawing, and at a glance, he could see Zhu Daolin's purpose from the gossip pattern and the Tianshu Pavilion logo on the drawing:
"The sword designed by the brother is similar to the traditional Han sword, the sword body is slightly narrow, but the thickness has not changed, the modified whole shape appears more slender and concise, and the weight is slightly reduced, which is indeed more practical than the Han sword we forged before."
"The hilt, which is all made of silver-copper alloy, is stronger, and the cloud dragon pattern engraved on it not only acts as a non-slip effect, but also makes the whole sword look more simple and elegant...... I'm afraid that such a sword is used by a disciple of the Dao Sect with status, right? ”
Zhu Daolin said with a smile: "My brother is really knowledgeable, and it is indeed specially designed for my Taoist friends of the Qing Sect, so I need to carve this somewhat special gossip pattern on both sides of the gauntlet. ”
"In general, this batch of specially customized swords has relatively high requirements in all aspects, because this batch of swords is related to the face of the overseas Puritan sect, and the second is that the environment of overseas Taoist friends who use this batch of swords is not very peaceful, so the most important thing is practicality, and the role of decoration is not so important."
Master Zhang and several apprentices glanced at each other, smiled and turned to Zhu Daolin: "Understood!" We will put in the greatest effort to build it with the best German pattern steel, but it will take at least half a year to complete, and the number of 100 does not seem to be much, but this level of sword must be handmade, even if you don't have special requirements, brother, we can't smash our own brand, so please bear with me! ”
"Thank you, brother! Wait a while I will pay 40% of the payment, the price of how much the brother said the number on the line, half a year later I pick up the goods, the contract will not be signed, the Tang knife contract signed before continues to perform, has been built 100 Tang knife this time I take it away, if there are other custom requirements, I will notify the elder brother and your brothers in time. Zhu Daolin quickly cut through the mess and made a decision on the spot.
Master Zhang calculated for a moment, and offered a preferential price of 8,000 yuan each for this batch of specially customized swords, and explained to Zhu Daolin that this batch of swords would all be made of mahogany shark skin scabbards, and it would be too shabby to use ordinary scabbards, Zhu Daolin readily agreed without much thought.
After the guests and hosts finished drinking, Zhu Daolin invited everyone to go to the bank together, and after transferring 40% of the prepaid payment to Master Zhang's private account, the time was nearly three o'clock in the afternoon, and Zhu Daolin, who had something to do, refused Zhang Yesheng's repeated retention of his master and apprentice, and rushed to Taizhou with Chu Mei.
Thanks to Chu Mei's uncle's phone call, Zhu Daolin and Chu Mei arrived in Taizhou to get through the contact number, and the general manager of the brewing equipment factory quickly came to the meeting with his wife, and Zhu Daolin, who did not dare to drink anymore, declined the banquet of the general manager's family, and dispersed after agreeing to meet tomorrow.
