Chapter 168: The Aftermath
The top floor of Jincheng Building
Guo Hui, the CEO of Jincheng Group, laughed, pointed to his mobile phone and said to the secretary:
"Immediately arrange for someone to contact the major media, especially the online media, to publicize this cooking showdown, do you understand how to grasp the specific proportions?"
The secretary immediately replied: "Highlight the dangers of poppy husks, and emphasize that Ma Hao is the executive chef specially invited by Shuxiang Building." ”
"En" Guo Hui nodded with satisfaction: "Also, inform those people that as soon as the market opens tomorrow, we will immediately throw out all the shares of Shuxianghui that we acquired some time ago." Tell the business development department that the expansion plan for the second half of the year can be more daring. ”
The secretary left the office in a hurry, Guo Hui walked to the floor-to-ceiling window overlooking Shudu, changed the appearance of the smiling Buddha just now, and looked at the headquarters building of Shuxianghui in the distance with sharp eyes, "Du Feibai, I didn't expect you to capsize in the gutter." ”
Summer Garden on the outskirts of Shudu
Master Huang leaned back in his rocking chair, tilted his head and muttered:
"Puffer fish liver and poppy husks, there is actually this kind of operation, interesting, this is not like an apprentice that Xiaotang can teach."
Chen Yuping walked over generously with a cup of brewed Zhulan, and said suspiciously:
"Master, what did you say?"
"Oh, nothing." Master Huang waved his hand, "By the way, Yuping, how did the organizing committee deal with this culinary showdown in the end?" ”
"According to the suggestion of the Culinary Association, the organizing committee reorganized a vote, and Uncle Xiao unanimously passed and won the culinary showdown."
"Oh," Master Huang was not surprised, "what is the requirement that Xiao Fang made in the agreement?" ”
"Uncle Xiao's request is 'a complete recipe for cold pot fish'."
"Hehe, this is really in the same vein as Brother Yong'an, and when I see an interesting recipe, I want to get it to study it. But Ma Hao has run away, where is the recipe? Shu Xianglou shouldn't have the face to ask Tang Mingquan for it. Master Huang took a sip of fragrant tea and asked casually.
"The Culinary Association made an estimate of the recipe, and the complete recipe was worth about 3.5 million yuan, and asked Shuxianglou to fulfill the contract with equivalent or cash."
"Well, the valuation is a bit high, and the cold pot fish is not a secret in the Tang family's cuisine. It should be deliberate, though, as recipes are more valuable to a chef than cash. ”
Shudu is more than 100 kilometers away in the depths of Suishan
With a muffled sound of "bang", the four people galloped out of the valley as fast as a galloping horse, and a large cloud of smoke and dust filled the valley behind them.
"Bah, Bah, Bah"
The first young man in field work clothes took off his prospecting helmet with a bright light, foaming at the mouth and slapping the dust on his body.
"Did you find anything?" An old man's voice came from the stone platform above the valley.
"Oh, that's a shame. There are not many things in the cave, and there are a lot of organs, Uncle Du, this doesn't look like a place where people with Taoism cultivate. ”
Du Feibai stood on the hillside and looked at the young man who came up, frowning, "Isn't there any gain?" This is the only clue that has been found so far. ”
"It's not that it's not for nothing, there's a cross-legged skeleton in it, and it's holding this thing in your hand."
As he spoke, the young man took out a bundle of things from the bag behind his back and handed it to Du Feibai.
"As soon as I picked it up, the mechanism was activated. Luckily, we ran fast and almost got buried together. I haven't looked closely, it looks like a wooden tablet. ”
Du Feibai took the wooden tablet, did not open it, turned around and walked to a stone platform hanging out of the air on the slope.
On the stone platform, there is a tall figure standing with his back hand looking at the scenery of Suishan, and his upright posture exudes the same majestic momentum as the mountains.
"Big dragon head, this is what Xiao Qi took out from the Miaoxu Cave, please take a look." Du Feibai held Mu Jian in front of the tall man with both hands.
If the well-known people in the municipal and business circles of Shudu saw this scene, their jaws would definitely drop, the founder of Shuxianghui and the business tycoon of the famous Sichuan Gorge, Du Feibai, who has always been majestic and cold, would be like two people in peacetime, and would speak to a person with such a respectful attitude.
The tall man turned around, with sword eyebrows, tiger eyes, a lion's nose and a wide mouth, and a strange face, but his expression was a little lazy and casual.
Du Feibai bowed slightly and handed Mu Jian over.
The man took the wooden tablet and looked at it, it was full of strange words, and at first glance it seemed to be a random splicing of various strokes, and there was no pattern at all in the mess.
The man looked at Mu Jian and fell into thought, Du Feibai lowered his eyebrows and lowered his eyes and stood quietly without speaking.
At this time, a person hurriedly ran from the other side of the hill, who was one of Du Feibai's personal bodyguards.
"Boss, there is urgent news from Shudu..."
Du Feibai interrupted the bodyguard's words unhappily: "Shut up, don't you see the big dragon head here." ”
The tall man looked up and said, "It's okay, this thing won't be able to understand it for a while." Let Zhiqiang talk about what new news there is in Shudu. I guess it should be that your Shuxianglou's cooking duel has a result. ”
"Yes, the dragon's head," replied the bodyguard called Xeon, carefully.
"Just now, Senior Brother Zhichao contacted Secretary Luo, saying that Ma Hao used prohibited materials in the cooking duel, causing acute poisoning of many people, and Ma Hao had absconded after the incident and had not yet been caught. Now all the major media in Shudu are publicizing this matter, and the government will suspend Shuxianglou for rectification, and consider conducting large-scale inspections of other catering brands under the group. ”
"Yes!" Du Feibai's eyes widened, and he returned to his usual appearance in the business world, "There must be Guo Hui in this, he likes to engage in this kind of trick." What's the reaction from the Culinary Association? ”
"At present, the Culinary Association only asks us to perform the contract for Ma Hao and compensate Fang Yu 3.5 million in cash or something equivalent. Others didn't say anything more. ”
Hearing that there was no change in the Culinary Association, Du Feibai nodded slightly.
"Since the Cooking Association has not fallen into the ground, let's write a check for Fang Yu for 3.5 million yuan according to what they said."
"Wait a minute," the tall man suddenly interrupted Du Feibai's words.
"Big dragon, what do you command?" Du Feibai asked a little strangely.
The tall man rubbed his stubble-covered chin, revealing a thoughtful expression: "Old Du... Give the thing in your hand to Fang Yu as compensation. ”
Du Feibai was shocked when he heard this: "Big dragon head, how can that thing be given to an ordinary person by the way." ”
The tall man shook the wooden slip in his hand indifferently, and said with a smile:
"That thing has been in our hands for so long, and no one has noticed anything special, and it is also a decoration to keep. Now that we've found this, it's even less useful. I think it's better to leave it to that Fang Yu and see what interesting things will happen. I'm very optimistic about him. ”
Du Feibai was still trying to persuade him, but the tall man waved his hand to stop it: "This matter is so decided, you go back to deal with the matter of Shuxianghui first." I'll call the third and fifth children over and take a look at this thing together. ”
Du Feibai saw that the tall man had made a decision, nodded and replied "yes", then said no more, turned around and left with his bodyguard.
The tall man turned his back and looked at the misty mountain peaks in the distance, with a strange smile on his face:
"Fang Yongan... Fang Yongping... Fang Yu, hehe, interesting. I hope you can surprise me. ”
