Chapter 235: Abalone Feast (4)
Chapter 235: Abalone Feast (4)
The Yang family is also regarded as one of the top three domestic electronics groups, but after all, it can only be called a group, not a consortium, and the main problem is that there is no stable means of financing.
The Boston consortium relies on the First National Bank of Boston, and the California consortium relies on the Bank of America, not to mention the four major consortia of Morgan, Daiichi Citigroup and Japan, the core of which must be dominated by large financial institutions, and in the current China perspective, no group has such strength.
The Yang family is naturally no exception.
Therefore, as the older generation of the Yang family retired one after another, the internal friction in the family gradually increased - this is also a matter of course for each family to renew, but the time is slightly inappropriate.
In other words, the children and grandchildren of the Yang family, when they were competing for the family property, paid too much attention to the situation in the house, and almost forgot about the situation on the "playground".
Therefore, with a series of constructions of the Zhu family in Guangdong, Fujian and other places, and with the full rollout of their marketing network including Hong Kong and Macau, the Yang family's profits in the last quarter fell sharply by 40%.
This is almost fatal for a group with a single source of financing.
Because there was no warning in advance, or rather, there was no attention, so when the profits fell, the capital chain suddenly tightened to the brink of collapse, and at this time, the Yang family began to be helpless.
The factory can't be stopped, and the loan credit has reached the limit, Yang Li was helplessly pulled out at this time, and her reputation can at least unify the Yang family.
Huang Xuan 'touched' his head and didn't continue to talk about this topic, and his sister-in-law Huang Hange shrewdly diverted the topic at this time: "Huang Xuan, I heard that this is a banquet prepared by you personally, what are you going to eat for your aunt?" ”
Huang Hange is just 30 years old, according to Huang Xuan, it is very likely that she will fulfill the promise of celibacy, but her sister-in-law is also a fun-loving master since she was a child, and she is also very good at eating.
"You'll find out in a moment." Huang Xuan grinned, he didn't dare to say anything about the two-headed abalone, but the three boys noisily said that they wanted to drink freshly squeezed juice, and "forced" Huang Xuan to accompany them to play with the juicer
Eating abalone and drinking juice is always not a match, but the three boys are not at the age of eating abalone, so it doesn't matter if they go to juice with them.
Huang Song stuffed apples while peeking into the hall and said, "Sister Ren Ruochan is so beautiful, brother?" ”
This kid is not even 10 years old, but when he speaks, he is full of meaning, Huang Xuan flicked his fingers on his head and said, "What's wrong." ”
"Nope." The three boys shouted in unison and laughed again.
After playing around for a while, Zhou Lian came over and said, "Four little masters, it's time to eat." He wouldn't call it that on weekdays, but because he wasn't familiar with Huang Ling, he paid attention.
"Here we are." Huang Xuan said and took off the wrinkled shirt on his body, frowned and looked at the clothes of the three boys who had rolled on the ground, shook his head helplessly, and said, "Come with me upstairs to change clothes." ”
Li Wenji had already walked into the hall with the footsteps of the eight waiters.
Whether it is the Huang family's prestige in Nanjing, or Huang Jindi's status in the past and present, or Huang Yanbang's prestige and the influence of Zhang Xinyi and Huang Xuan in the business world, Li Wenji deserves to be taken seriously, and the fact that Ah Yi abalone is not well-known outside China's coastal areas may be an opportunity.
Huang Xuan changed his clothes as quickly as possible, and led the three boys to rush downstairs, Huang Jindi had already taken the seat, he crept behind and hid behind, but was still discovered by Zhang Xinyi and glared.
With a wry smile, Huang Xuan found the position of the little mink and sat down, and the three of them immediately "revealed" their original expressions. Huang Xuan glared.
"Everyone." Li Wenji wore a tall chef's hat and clasped his hands and said: "Below is Li Wenji, the chef of Ah Yi Abalone, this time he was invited by Mr. Huang Xuan to cook this abalone banquet for you. ”
After he finished speaking, the waiters began to take turns serving the food.
The dishes are placed on a white "color" plate, covered with a stainless steel lid, and the messengers first served a portion for everyone, Li Wenji said: "The first dish is abalone fin meal, which is abalone boiled out of slow fire with Luzon yellow gum shark fin, fish maw boiled and dissolved, and then added to the old chicken, meat and so on. Li Wenji did not emphasize the four-headed abalone inside, in his opinion, this family should not have any special feelings about the four-headed abalone.
Except for Zhang Xinyi, everyone else only knew that it was a family banquet prepared by Huang Xuan, but they didn't know that it was an abalone banquet. Huang Jindi glanced at Huang Xuan with a smile and took the lead in picking up chopsticks.
His habit is still to use chopsticks, and if he uses a knife and fork, he has Zhou Li to help.
The abalone on the plate is a whole four-headed abalone, a shark fin net cut into thin strips, a thick old soup poured on top, and the two ends of the plate are decorated broccoli.
Luzon yellow gum shark fin is also a top-notch shark fin treasure, but in this dish, it has become an ingredient, so that it absorbs too thick the soup, so that the abalone will not be greasy because of the broth with lard, on the other hand, if the soup is not thick, it is not easy to taste, and the two phases are combined, but it is also very compatible.
Huang Xuan cut a slice with a thin French knife, and the abalone slices showed a slightly powdery golden "color" in the middle, which is the so-called soft heart. Gently use a fork to send it into your mouth, the mouth of abalone is rich, soft and elastic, with a bit of toughness. The fifth uncle over there, Huang Kunjie, had already praised with satisfaction: "This is the lingering rhyme, the teeth and cheeks are fragrant, right?" ”
"Yes, that's good." Huang Jindi wiped his mouth with a napple as he spoke, and said, "Xuan'er has a heart this time." ”
"It was a friend who gave me some abalone, I think our family is not short of so much money, it's better to eat it yourself than to sell it, hehe." Huang Xuan replied with a smile, also to do some foreshadowing.
Xiao Mink Meimei is not skilled in using a knife and fork, and Huang Xuan is not easy to help, so she can only tilt her head to teach her the essentials. Ruochan raised her eyebrows cutely and said, "When we are at home, we all eat with chopsticks. ”
In the Han Dynasty, abalone was eaten quite extensively, and Wang Mang and Cao "Cao" were among the well-known figures, but the dishes at that time were not as extensive as today, so they were mainly eaten directly, unlike today, the main force of abalone has been in coastal areas such as Hong Kong, so it is naturally mixed with soup.
The four-headed abalone is the size of two eggs, everyone is hungry again, and it will be eliminated quickly, Huang Xuan ate quickly, when he wiped his mouth, the little mink Meimei only ate half of it, he simply smiled and said: "I'll help you cut it." ”
Xiao Mink Meimei glanced at the other people at the table, and saw that everyone was either busy eating abalone, or talking in a low voice, and no one paid attention to herself, so she nodded slightly.
Huang Xuan smiled and brought her dinner plate over, cut it into slices for her with a knife and fork, and then said, "Eat quickly, it won't taste good if it's cold." ”
Ruochan lowered her eyelids and said "hmm" softly.
Andy waited aside, seeing that the dish was about to end, he beckoned, and the second dish was immediately delivered.
"Borowan has a pot." Andy sang and said, "This dish is stewed with small abalone, mainly to eat its umami, and the soup tastes quite good." ”
Putting the pot in front of everyone in order, Huang Jindi took a sip first, sighed with emotion, and said: "The last time we got together so much, it was still the clan meeting of the old mansion, but unfortunately my two granddaughters didn't come back." He said, sighing again.
Huang Yanbang waved his hand to drive the waiters away, and said: "Dad, if you like it, we will set a few times a year, everyone will come back for a meal and play for two days, and whoever is free can also come back." Except for your two granddaughters, everyone is not far away, that is, Xuan'er runs around, and most of the time is still in Nanjing. My two daughters, when do you want to see them, a phone call came. ”
"If you have a heart, you can do it. You don't have to do anything out of your mind. Huang Jindi waved his hand and said, "You guys chat, don't worry about me, I'm just starting up, or I'm very bored." ”
When Huang Jindi pays attention to food and silence, he is never bored, and he does look old.
When the elders said this, Yang Li also pulled out the topic before the meal and said, "Xuan'er, your current factory can be built by the end of the month, can you get Sony's authorization?" ”
"Absolutely." Huang Xuan smiled, he now has 4.8% of the equity of Southwest Bell, even if it is diluted with AT&T, it will not be less than 4%, in a company with assets of nearly 100 billion, with 4% of the equity, in terms of the right to speak, it should already be in the third place, so that Sony is willing to lose another 20 billion - if they still have so much money - to rewrite the BD standard, otherwise Huang Xuan will become a member of the BD alliance.
Yang Li looked at Huang Xuan's appearance, and didn't ask anymore, drank the soup, and said with a smile with crooked eyebrows: "Then you are not ready to sign a supply contract with relevant companies now?" The demand for raw materials should be huge, right? ”
Seeing that his mother was also paying attention, Huang Xuanshen groaned and said, "Auntie, the Zhu family you said is not the Zhu family in Shanghai?" ”
"That's right."
I knew it was so. Huang Xuan smiled bitterly and said: "The current first heir of the Zhu family, named Zhu Xiankui, and I know him, he has prepared 1 billion US dollars, and is ready to build an organic dye factory and a large component production plant first, so ......"
Yang Liden became nervous and asked, "You agreed?" ”
"Not yet." Huang Xuan shrugged his shoulders and said, "But it's not good for me to promise you now." ”
Yang Li was silent for a while, the Yang family's assets are as much as 20 billion US dollars, but this does not mean that they can easily come up with 1 billion US dollars. In fact, in Yang Li's calculations, it is extremely difficult to barely come up with 1 billion US dollars, and the problem they are encountering now is that the capital chain is too tight.
But she was also the one who held the power of the group, and soon asked, "You just said that the first heir of the Zhu family wants you and the alliance?" Not the Zhu family? ”
Huang Xuan had to admire his aunt's sharp feeling, and admitted: "It was Zhu Xiankui who came to me, and the $1 billion is either his private money or his room." ”
Yang Li's frowning brows finally eased, and he smiled: "Or, I can persuade my eldest brother to join forces with this Zhu Xiankui." The Yang family's factories have a complete range of products, which should be able to meet most of the needs of Blu-ray production, and we also have our own channel providers, at least in the early stage of publicity, you don't have to bother. ”
"That's fine." Huang Xuan is noncommittal, anyway, for upstream manufacturers, there are multiple downstream suppliers, which is always better than one.
