Chapter 114: The Mysterious Maritime Cargo
A hearty smile accompanied this elegant British old professor, and he patted Yang Zhi's shoulder with a big grin.
Professor Herzog followed suit.
They were invited to today, the Poseidon at a makeshift celebration banquet in the harbor.
The gringos seem to be particularly fond of banquets, patients and the like.
Feeling the personable old professor and the friendly gaze passed over, Yang Zhi thought for a while.
This business is a task personally assigned by the big boss of the group.
And listening to Professor Herzog's tone, he has a lot of friendship with the big boss.
In this favor deal, Yang Zhi's sensitive sense of smell as a businessman made him seize the opportunity in an instant.
If we can befriend Professor Herzog, the overseas freight business of Wuzhou Regional Royal Shield Guard Group Company may be able to open up new field orders.
The big boss deliberately let himself be in charge of this business, perhaps with such a mind.
Ready to rely on the unique shipping terminal in Wuzhou area to carry out large orders of business.
The $30 million this time is just a test of business.
Although Yang Zhi's heart is clear.
The goods in charge of logistics and escort transportation this time are most likely to be terrifying dangerous goods such as relics and ghosts.
However, the temper of a businessman cultivated over the years made him dare to take risks to earn the opportunity to open up this overseas capital chain.
...........
"Since the professor doesn't dislike us for delaying this business, he will bother a lot.
I think we're going to have a lot of business dealings in the future.
Borrow your meal today to express our friendship with Professor Herzog. ”
With a smile as a businessman, Yang Zhi responded to Professor Herzog's invitation.
The old professor with a yuppie temperament put his arm around his shoulder.
It's the first time they've met, but they show a very familiar feeling between the two people.
Staring at Yang Zhi's eyes hidden under the smiling face.
Professor Herzog's smile became a little oozing for a moment, but he soon regained his optimistic expression, and seemed very happy with Yang Zhi's invitation.
..............
"Hahahaha, okay, I like it, I like to be with young people like you.
Young man, you can play it.
It's not like some old bones who are almost half of their bodies in the ground, and they have to pretend to be serious, which is extremely boring.
Gao and I have spoken many times.
Praise Mr. Yang, you are a rare talent and help under him, you are simply the right-hand man of the group.
I hope that after this reception, Yang will always be able to bring me a different surprise, and there will be more such business at that time, if we still have the opportunity. ”
After a few warm greetings, Professor Herzog dragged Yang Zhi and the others to the temporary banquet in the harbor area.
glanced at the people who followed, except for the driver who obediently stayed in the car, waiting for Yang Zhi's temporary news.
Behind.
Two bodyguards with five big and three thick, suits and leather shoes, wearing sunglasses.
These two old brothers, one on the left and one on the right, supported Yang Zhi on both sides.
Poseidon's luxury money makes it possible for them to have no difficulty where they can solve it with money.
Moonlight Port Wharf in Wuzhou area.
Professor Herzog relied on the inhumanity of the trenches to rent a large area of indoor temporary space in the harbor area in the name of the Poseidon, which was used as a venue for banquets.
Inside a large warehouse in the Harbour area.
With the powerful hand of funding, the Poseidon directly transformed the empty warehouse into a venue with the rudiments of an open-air banquet.
Makeshift patchwork of tables that look different in style and type.
There are even simple tables that are improvised by workers and made of wooden planks.
But everything on the table shows the luxury of this banquet.
............
The spicy lobster tails cooked with blue lobster, the aroma of Sichuan pepper and Sichuan pepper fill the whole iron poke.
Steaming seafood in a pot.
Oysters, scallops, lobster, abalone, thick sauce boiled until agitated bubbling.
The size of a keg of German beer is punctuated in the opening, and the foamy wheat juice immediately bubbles out of the preservation.
Rare seafood cargo is not unusual in Poseidon.
Therefore, at this banquet, you can see more in line with the physique of Oriental babies, spicy blue lobster, stir-fried bluefin tuna, salmon charcoal grilled, and Kobe beef stir-fried in an iron pot spicy beef tenderloin, stir-fried shredded beef.
As Professor Herzog walked into the humble gathering place.
Yang Zhi looked at these cherished seafood, who had money and had to wait for the supply of goods on weekdays, rolling in the iron pot and spicy marinade, and sighed at the extravagance of the materials used in this banquet.
In a temporarily renovated logistics warehouse.
The seafarers, the shipwrights, dressed in the unique costumes of the Poseidon, without exception are the faces of the Orientals.
They are temporary workers of the Poseidon on this voyage, specially at the signboard of Wuzhou Moonlight Harbor.
With the end of this voyage, the Poseidon sailed into the Moonlight Harbor dock in Wuzhou.
The task of these eastern crews, too, has ended.
They may be from Wuzhou locals, or they may have traveled to the harbor area of Wuzhou from other places to earn a living, but without exception they are all experienced sailors and sailors.
Yang Zhi even squinted at the crew Lao Wei, who had just secretly revealed the ship's secrets with him in the smoking area.
At this moment, Lao Wei's simple and honest face was filled with a joyful expression that could not be concealed.
His weather-beaten face had a rare smile with crow's feet.
At the moment, he is holding a lobster tail wrapped in spicy red oil in one hand.
With his feet on the bench and his head raised, the large glass of beer in his other hand poured into his stomach, leaving only the frothy hops that gradually dissipated from the rim of the cup.
The Oriental sailors and shipwrights gathered at this makeshift banquet were close to fifty or so people.
When they saw Professor Herzog appear at the gate.
Without exception, everyone raised their wine glasses and cheered at the personable old professor.
Listening to this noisy and piercing cheers and shouts, it was like breaking into a fan meeting of true love fans.
In the face of everyone's fiery cheers and eyes, Professor Herzog raised his hand slightly and waved it to suppress the enthusiasm of the scene.
He turned his head, smiled gently at Yang Zhi, and spoke.
...........
"Hahahaha, let Mr. Yang smile.
We are always considerate of our employees, even if they are temporary workers, and strive for the best standard of treatment.
The banquet caters to the unique tastes of the East, but the menu also features seafood dishes prepared by professional French chefs.
The venue is a bit rudimentary, but the quality of the banquet is definitely top notch.
We have beer, red wine, white wine, and the best whiskey.
Mr. Yang, you can take care of yourself first and celebrate with the big guy.
There will be a special display of the goods this time, and when it is over, we can sign the order. ”
.............
Warmly sent an invitation to Yang Zhi to celebrate the event.
In such a short period of time, this simple logistics warehouse was able to be transformed into a temporary banquet venue, and carefully cooked more oriental cuisine, all thanks to the professionalism of the staff on the Poseidon.
Introducing Yang Zhi to the food and dishes at the banquet, Professor Herzog's temper always got along with everyone.
Since he entered the venue, several boatmen have swayed over with large beer glasses.
Cuddle up with this old gentleman in British style and toast with a glass.
A patchwork of tables in a makeshift venue, close to the center stage.
Carefully cooked blue lobster, salmon and tuna sashimi, fresh oysters, and sliced lime slices on top of the shell are on the table.
Famous French liquors and whiskeys are placed on the table of the banquet.
It's just that compared to these expensive red wines, whiskey.
Even more popular is the beer on tap.
Staring at this banquet that exuded a strange atmosphere, Yang Zhi smiled slightly and said to Herzog.
"Professor, you are really considerate of the staff, and the cost of this banquet is quite a lot.
Any bottle of wine you take out is probably worth a whole year's salary for these people. ”
I stroked the labels of a few collectible red wines.
Yang Zhi has seen the world, and for some gifts in the collector's wine cabinet, he can come with his mouth open, and he is the first to say.
But at this moment, looking at these collectible-level giveaways and appearing on the humble table that is comparable to the scene of the migrant workers' food stalls, the well-informed Yang Zhi felt a little distracted.
The actual cost of this celebration banquet is even more expensive than the annual meeting at the end of each year.
Listening to Yang Zhi's words, Professor Herzog had already picked up the big glass and the people around him very down-to-earth, and drank it three or four times.
He looked at this carnival-like extravaganza and suddenly smiled mysteriously.
Facing Yang Zhi, he raised his wine glass and drank the big beer bubbling in the glass.
"Yang, have fun.
I love these people and treat them like my children, and this banquet is something they deserve.
In the words of you Orientals.
It's the last meal, and it has to be done beautifully.
I'm looking forward to the lucky ones among these people who will respond to my expectations. ”
.............
Pouring a glass of German craft beer in one gulp, Professor Herzog's age did not match the heroism he showed in him.
After saying this, the figure of the old professor was carried away by a group of people.
Feeling the fiery atmosphere of the scene, Yang Zhi listened to his words, and vaguely felt that some aspects of the words seemed to be not quite right.
But the lively atmosphere can always dilute a person's vigilance.
Picking up a glass of red wine on the table, Yang Zhi shook the wine glass slightly, looking at the slightly viscous liquor, the red mark that slowly fell after hanging on the wall.
Before he could say anything, the two bodyguards beside him came sideways and asked Yang Zhi for instructions.
"Mr. Yang, it seems that the owner of the money here is a channel that is not bad for money.
Since you're here for this banquet, you see?
Do we continue to wait, wait for the goods to be displayed, and the contract is over, or are we going to wait? ”
cautiously asked Yang Zhi for instructions, the two bodyguards around him could be hired by Yang Zhi to guard him, and these two old brothers had also seen big scenes.
But at this moment, the rare blue lobster, like the spicy dragon on the street, lies in the iron poke at will, soaked in Sichuan pepper and Chongqing red oil.
Such a luxurious scene is really rare.
Smelling the aroma in the air and the rare and precious ingredients on the table, Yang Zhi's eyes stared at Professor Herzog, who was surrounded by everyone.
He sighed slightly, waved his hand at the two people behind him, and spoke.
"Maybe I'm too careful, and if I come, I'll be safe.
Before the goods are officially signed, you can enjoy some of them, but don't be greedy, don't drink too much. ”
Seeing the careful thinking of his employees, Yang Zhi was very generous and gave them time for free activities.
For a banquet of this level, you can blow an extra bottle of red wine, and you can earn it.
After getting the promise of the boss, the two bodyguards around him were a little reserved for a while, and immediately joined the army of dazzling beer.
Feeling the atmosphere of this banquet, the aura and dress on Yang Zhi's body made him naturally have an atmosphere that no one should enter.
Walking around the banquet, relying on the negotiation level that has been trained for many years.
Yang Zhi leaned on a few glasses of wine and asked some of the crew members present.
In response to Professor Herzog's evaluation, the thousand words that came out were undoubtedly one sentence.
This person is not bad, he can deal with it!
Not only for temporarily recruited boatmen, but also for the welcome party that can be held so generously.
Even at the same time as paying this salary, an extra 40,000 yuan of red envelopes were given to everyone.
This extra red envelope income is the reason why these eastern crew members are so obsessed with Professor Herzog.
After the Poseidon entered the harbor and docked, Professor Herzog seemed to be the only one on board at the makeshift banquet held on board.
But relying on his extremely high popularity, the old professor alone can coquettish the audience.
In the center of the temporary warehouse, a high platform used to store goods has been simply transformed into a stage.
With the sound of a microphone, the noisy sound of electricity sizzled after thinking.
Professor Herzog's voice resounded throughout the audience.
...........
"Sir, be quiet, please be quiet.
Thank you all for joining us today.
Today is the day of parting, but also the beginning.
I am fortunate to have been with you for more than four months, and in the progress of this great cause, it is inseparable from your dedication and dedication.
Now, now, here.
You can have as much revelry, fun, drinks and food as you want, all of which we offer in unlimited quantities.
But compared to these pleasures of wine and meat, I think you are more curious, what are we really doing in the process of this sea voyage?
That's right, I've heard some rumors lately.
Some people say that during this voyage, they caught some kind of forbidden creature.
Some say it's a kraken, others say it's an ancient sea creature.
Hahaha, here I need to respond to your doubts, although everyone has signed a confidentiality agreement, but it would be a pity if you can't get a glimpse of the ultimate voyage of this sea voyage.
That's right, we did hunt something incredible on this trip to the sea.
No, it's more like being hunted by us.
Or rather, He chose us! ”
