12. Yunfeng Temple (below)
At the beginning of March, the Fuhua Shipbuilding Preparatory Office completed the move and resumed operation on the "East Sea Knight".
Almost at the same time, Chen Yiyi, chairman of Xuyang Group, also moved his office to the "East China Sea Knight".
Some vague speculations began to circulate in the outside world, saying that there was an extraordinary friendship between "Divine Doctor Li Xiang" and Miss Chen Yiyi. There is some basis for this.
Before, a reporter took a photo of "Divine Doctor Li Xiang" and Miss Chen Yiyi drunk, and later, the two even went to Jinmao to open a room together and stayed all night.
Moreover, Li Xiang's former girlfriend, Miss Su Ye, did not follow him on the "East China Sea Knight", but stayed in the Fuhua Shipbuilding Liaison Office of Jin Mao Building.
Some people even boldly speculated that "Divine Doctor Li Xiang" had ended his previous relationship.
Mr. Song Zhongcheng, who is almost already the external spokesman of the Fuhua Shipbuilding Preparatory Office and the Liaison Office, did not comment on these rumors; He continued to announce the progress of the cooperation between the Howard Shipbuilding Liaison Office and two Korean companies at a rate of three days.
Zhu Tong was also not interested in explaining the rumors from the outside world, and he had not disembarked since the day he boarded the "Knight of the East China Sea".
Della was the first to board the "East China Sea Knight" to visit the "Divine Doctor Li Xiang", and Zhu Tong received Della and his party in a spacious office.
This cabin is located on the third floor of the "Tokai Knight" and was originally a small conference room. After Xiao Xiao's careful arrangement, a full set of high-end office furniture has been put on display, and it has become a rather magnificent office. In the middle of the cabin is a huge sand table, which vividly marks the magnificent landscape of Fuhua Shipbuilding after its completion.
Della walked into the cabin with two people, Mr. Smith and Mr. Ma Lianhong, the former ruthless master and now the vice president of Yongji Shipping Company.
Of course, Zhu Tong had to make a very surprised expression, Della handed over the business card with the title of director of the Shanghai office of United Shipbuilding, and the title on the ruthless business card was, deputy director of the Shanghai office of United Shipbuilding. It seems that the negotiations between Heishi Matsui and Smith have been completed, and United Ships has replaced the former MT shipping company as a foreign partner of Fuhua Shipbuilding.
"The old man said that he will be in Hedong for 30 years and in Hexi for 30 years, and it seems that in the new century, the old man will not be able to listen to his words. Unexpectedly, the two of them turned out to be compradors? β
"Someone forced me to give up the golden chrysanthemum, there is no way, I have to make money." Della smirked.
The ruthless answer was wonderful, he said, "I find that there is too much confusion, and Ms. Della said that kung fu is outside of poetry." She invited me to go out and experience the wind and rain of the world, and maybe I could have an epiphany. β
Smith made no secret of his smugness, sat down on the wide sofa with his legs crossed: "Dear Lee, I think you should hurry. Because of you, Fuhua Shipbuilding has been delayed for too long, which is not in everyone's interest. β
"I think so too, and if possible, I hope to sign today." Zhu Tong waited for Xiao Xiao to bring tea, and also sat down opposite Smith, saying, "If you agree to the conditions I proposed, the negotiations on the specific terms can start immediately." Our negotiating team has already begun its work. β
"That is unacceptable, and from now on, Ms. Della will be my plenipotentiary, and you can talk to her about anything." Smith looked at Della with admiration; "She is a lovely angel and I have full respect for her opinion."
"Hahahaha." Zhu Tong laughed; "In that case, I don't think there's any point in meeting today. Della, with all due respect, you and your boss are in the wrong place. You should go to Jin Mao Tower and contact Director Wu of the Fuhua Shipbuilding Liaison Office. β
Ruthless doesn't understand English, and he can't talk about the words between the three of them.
Della glanced at Zhu Tong angrily, leaned over and whispered something in Ruthless's ear.
Ruthlessly got up and handed Zhu Tong another business card: "Senior brother, you can't be too stubborn. There is a way to forgive others and forgive others, and to be convenient with others is to be convenient with oneself. β
"Deputy General Manager of Yongji Shipping Company." Zhu Tong read the words on the business card, and a mocking smile hung on the corner of his mouth; "Mr. Ma, I only know the ruthless master of Buddhism, even if you have a thousand business cards, they are all illusory and meaningless to me."
"You ......" A cold light flashed in his ruthless eyes, but he quickly controlled himself, and lowered his eyebrows and silently chanted the Buddha; "Mr. Li, I must remind you that MT Shipping can look for other partners. β
"We have other options." Zhu Tong looked at Smith; "Mr. Smith, you look good. It's spring, and it's perfectly possible to leave China and enjoy a romantic vacation somewhere. Della is a rare woman to see on the beach, and now that she's your agent, she's more than capable of handling everything. You should give her enough confidence. β
Smith has been staying in Shanghai lately, and he has not dared to leave the city since the last lesson. Zhu Tong has always been lukewarm to him, and because of this, Smith is willing to be a prisoner of the city and does not dare to risk it again.
Hearing Zhu Tong say that he could leave, Smith showed a ecstatic expression and asked, "Mr. Li, is my illness really cured?" β
"You've been healthy. Robust as a cow. Zhu Tong sneered; He then said to the two agents in Chinese: "We already know each other, and if nothing else, I still have to work." Della, I used to think that you are the most perfect representative of Chinese women, beautiful and sexy and self-respecting, mature and intelligent, and luxurious, without the slightest frivolity. Mr. Ma, the word senior brother, I dare not be ashamed. Buddhism has always emphasized tolerance and cause and effect, and if a person is willing to fall, he does not have to look for any excuses. He should think about cause and effect first. β
Della's face was rosy, and she was disturbed by Zhu Tong's praise and then belittlement, and said angrily: "What do you mean? This is a purely commercial activity, and don't get involved in irrelevant matters. β
"Since you think so, we don't have much more to say. Della, you should go and talk to Director Wu about business practices. I'm here and don't care about any business practices. I only know that if Fuhua Shipbuilding is just an ordinary commercial project. It's not my turn to sit here. You know this better than anyone else. Fan Lao is coming here in the afternoon to investigate, can I tell him that Fuhua Shipbuilding is an ordinary commercial project? Sorry, I'm busy, please. β
Della was stunned, as if in deep confusion. Immediately she stood up and said to Smith: "I'm sorry, I don't think our cooperation has the necessary foundation. From now on, I quit. β
"Dear Della;" Smith was startled, and it was easy to invite an agent with great powers, but he didn't expect to be lost by Director Li's two sentences; "If you are interested in ......"
"It's purely personal reasons and has nothing to do with interests. Director Li, please allow me to say sorry. Della's face was very ugly, and she hurried away.
"Are you leaving?" Chen Yiyi came in just in time to see Della leave.
"Two, I'm really busy." Zhu Tong looked at Smith and Ruthless mockingly; "I must reiterate that Fuhua Shipbuilding is not child's play. Negotiations can begin at any time as long as there is good faith, however, I will not waste time on the agent. β
Smith had to say goodbye regrettably, and Zhu Tong didn't even send it.
Ruthless shouldn't have opened his hole cards so early, at this stage, he didn't understand the rules of the business at all. After leaving the Golden Buddha Temple, he became a worthless clown. Since Zhu Tong is not afraid of his identity being revealed, of course he doesn't have to entertain him. At least in the short term, Ruthless is not qualified to be Zhu Tong's opponent at all. Although the Buddhas of the Wan family are greedy, with their identity and situation, they still have to maintain their superficial reputation. It is impossible to ** the whirlpool of Fuhua Shipbuilding before the results of the ring match.
The only thing he cared about was Della.
In the afternoon, Fan Lao really boarded the "East China Sea Knight" as agreed.
The ostensible reason is to thank the "divine doctor Li Xiang" for his dedicated treatment of his illness. However, in addition to Wang Xiangjiao and Xiang Huayi, Fan Lao was accompanied by two government officials of a considerable level and reporters from two media outlets.
Zheng Shurong, as Fan Lao's accompanying doctor, observed another identity of the master for the first time. There was a steel flask in the suitcase he carried with him, and every drop of wine that Fan Lao drank needed to get from here.
Fan Lao listened to the report made by Zhu Tong and Chen Yiyi in front of the sand table, and expressed great concern for Fuhua Shipbuilding. I earnestly hope that Director Li can do a good job in Fuhua shipbuilding, produce large ships as soon as possible, and contribute to national construction.
The weather was nice today, the sun was shining and the temperature was suitable.
After the inspection, Fan Lao was quite satisfied with the recent work of Fuhua Shipbuilding, and said that he would stay on the ship for more time, so that Wang Xiangjiao, government officials and reporters would leave first.
Zhu Tong set up refreshments and chessboards on the deck on the highest floor, and the two old men, Fan Lao and Xiang Huayi, wanted to play Go.
Chen Yiyi didn't know how to play Go, so she carefully waited for the guest waiter.
Xiang Huayi asked Director Li to make tea, saying that the tea he brewed tasted.
Zhu Tong smiled, added carbon from the new water, and made tea for the two old people with very good tastes.
Fan Lao's chess skills are similar to Xiang Huayi's, and his style is very different, so he is a good pair of opponents.
Xiang Huayi's chess style is heavy, his moves tend to be conservative, and he is good at defending and counterattacking.
Fan Lao has a lot of chess, and he likes to start a local fight with the opponent when he has nothing to do.
After two games of chess, both sides have one win and one loss, and both sides end in the middle game.
Fan Lao put down the chess pieces, stopped playing, and said: "You are lucky to win the first game, and it is self-inflicted humiliation to play again." You're so boring, you'll just keep guarding, and you're insidious. β
Xiang Huayi said: "Fan Lao is a hero chess, and if you go back ten years, I am not your opponent at all." When people are old, be conservative and prolong their lives. β
Fan Lao snorted from his nose and said to Zhu Tong, "Director Li, let's have a game." β
Zhu Tong said a few words modestly, and then sat down in the position of Xiang Lao and talked with Fan Laoshou.
This game is very good-looking, Zhu Tong also likes to fight and fight, and Fan Lao can't take advantage of it at all. When he is older, he has a dull sense of the changes in the chess game, and his calculation ability is not as good as that of Zhu Tong, so he quickly loses a sentence.
"It's enjoyable, it's all about playing chess. Elder Xiang, this disciple of yours is much more clever than you. Fan Lao conceded defeat in the middle game, and then put on another game.
This time, Fan Lao actually began to learn from Xiang Huayi, and fought steadily against Zhu Tong's provocation with a thick foundation. Finally won with one son.
Xiang Huayi said: "Convinced, right?" After all, Fan Lao still relied on experience to win. β
"That is, we are old, and we have no advantage other than experience." Fan Lao pushed the plate, stood up and moved his legs and feet; "I really want to go outside."
"There's really a lively place now, Fan Lao might as well go and see it." Xiang Lao also stood up; "Remember Master Transmission? He has already settled in Yunfeng Temple, and he wants to rebuild the nine halls of Yunfeng Temple. β
"It's a good thing, it's a good thing that you can calm down and study the Dharma after a lifetime. There are nine halls in Yunfeng Temple, and I remember only two. β
Zhu Tong knew that it was time for him to appear, so he told Fan Lao about Yunfeng Temple.
"It's very irresponsible, the government's money is the people's money, and you can't waste it at will." Fan Lao's brows furrowed more and more.
Xiang Lao knew that it was enough to stop, looked at the other side of the Pujiang River and said casually: "Old Fan, do you remember that there used to be a restaurant there?" The gourd duck king of Linjiang Tower. β
"That's it, the gourd duck king, the eight treasure gourd duck. Do you know where Linjiang House has moved? Old Fan looked at Xiang Huayi with blank eyes.
"Linjiang Building is still there, and now it is his son Little Duck King who is running it, and he has moved to Pudong."
"They have takeaway, call and ask for one." Fan Lao's saliva seemed to be about to run out, sucked a few times, and said, "The last time I ate Babao gourd duck, it has been ten years." β
"If you always want to use it, I'll order it." Chen Yiyi was about to go, so she stopped her from Lao Xiang and said to Lao Fan:
"Fan Lao, sit. I looked for it last year, but unfortunately, the gourd duck king has passed away. The little duck king can't make the previous eight-treasure gourd duck, and the previous taste can no longer be eaten. β
"Why, didn't the gourd duck king pass on his skills to the duck king? Isn't it impossible, Lao Tzu's craftsmanship is not passed on to his son, can it be brought to the coffin? Fan Lao wanted to drink again, but Zheng Shurong looked at his watch and shook his head to indicate that he couldn't have time. This directly caused him to be in a bad mood.
"Yes, the gourd duck king really didn't pass on the craft to the duck king. I didn't believe it at first, but later, the little duck king himself said to me the last few words that the gourd duck king left him, and I believed it. Zhu Tong and Chen Yiyi were not interested in such a topic, and just now the two were discussing in a low voice how to entertain the two old men in the evening.
Hearing this, Zhu Tong suddenly felt that Xiang Huayi had something to say, nodded slightly to Zheng Shurong, and signaled that he could make an exception to give Fan Lao a glass of wine.
Fan Laohe immediately became happy when he took a cup of Moutai, and asked, "Tell me, why didn't the old duck king pass on the craftsmanship to his son?" β
"Fan Lao, the old duck king relied on a jar of old soup to make the eight treasure gourd duck, it is said that this jar of old soup is older than his age, and it was passed on to him by the master of the gourd duck king. When he was alive, he would use this old soup to make a pot of soup every day, which was used to make the taste of gourd duck. Therefore, the eight-treasure gourd duck made by the old duck king is different. However, half a month before he died, he personally broke the jar, and the old soup was gone. β
"It's a pity, is he having a broken brain?" Fan Lao smashed his mouth and said dissatisfiedly.
"The little duck king also felt a pity, he said, he was distressed at that time and was about to shed tears." Xiang Lao still said unhurriedly; "However, the old duck king said that keeping this old soup is a scourge after all. The little duck king is strange: the gourd duck he makes is no different from others, and the only clever thing is the soup. The old duck king said: This soup is nothing special, the only thing is that it has more seasonings than others. β
Fan Lao frowned, finally smacked some taste, and asked carefully, "Is it big smoke?" β
"It's a poppy, and it's the secret of the Duck King's life." Xiang Lao got acquainted with the mystery, Chen Yiyi exclaimed: "No wonder, I used to order ducks three days in advance when I went to Linjiang Building. It turned out that they were all harmed by it. β
"It's not harmful, poppies are originally a seasoning, and that content has no effect on people. The old duck king did a good job, he was afraid of nuclear descendants, and since then he has cut off his family's financial route. He was a man who understood and knew what to leave for posterity. Xiang Lao smiled hehe.
Fan Lao followed the voice of the salary and said, "Lao Xiang, if you have anything to say, just say it." β
"It's okay, I'll really have something to say."
Xiang Huayi took out a few pieces of paper and handed them over, Fan Lao took out the reading glasses and read the words on them carefully.
