Chapter 17 Under the Banquet
The waiter walked quickly and hurriedly entered the room on the second floor. He pushed the door and said, "Master Zheng, the guest Ala, the one invited by the grandfather, came here." He heard someone talking inside. After a while, Zheng Weigang took the lead and welcomed everyone to enter the room. The Taihu Pavilion seemed to be a large private room with a faint fragrance and extremely warmth. There were exquisite vases and furniture in the room, gold and silver were hooked on the walls, and many famous calligraphy paintings were laid out. The roof was decorated with lights and colorful decorations, and the decoration was very elegant and luxurious. In addition to Zheng Weigang, there were two "masters". Zheng Weigang introduced that his surname was Song, Shaoxing, and his tea silk business. Another round face was Mr. Fang, a slightly fat man, who was from Wuxi, but he opened a money shop in Shanghai. There were also several women dressed in costumes, wearing unknown headdresses, embroidered borders and gorgeous clothes with wide sleeves.
Yang Rui didn't dare to look at it anymore, so he immediately explained to Zheng Weigang a few times. Before he could finish the introduction, Brother Ad's voice came from outside the box: "Master Zheng, Yu is late."
Zheng Wei just heard the sound and went up to meet him. Brother Ad had already come in at the waiter's greeting, so there was another large-scale ceremony and courteousness. After several twists and turns, Yang Rui felt very hungry. He rested in the room in the afternoon. Before coming out, he only ate some leftover five-spice beans. Fortunately, he was on the table immediately and served some cold dishes first. The cooking was very exquisite. Everyone drank while eating the dishes. Yang Rui knew the power of this shredded ginger and yellow wine.
, dared not drink too much, while drinking, Zheng Weigang quickly sorted out the relationship between Yang Rui and Yu Qiaqing - a fellow villager and a business partner. When he saw Yu Qiaqing talking about MSG, he wanted to see it. Yang Rui and Yu Huizu had never brought it on him. Zhong Guangui didn't change his clothes today, so he took it back. He took it out and added it to a small cup of soup. Zheng Weigang was surprised after tasting it and asked, "What is this? How fresh is it?" He pushed the soup to Mr. Fang and Mr. Song to taste it.
Yang Rui and others are no longer as enthusiastic as recruiting people to invest in the previous ones. They just briefly introduced it, but Zheng Weigang was not good at giving up. They asked questions one by one. When they heard that foreigners didn't have this thing, their eyes were even brighter and they asked about the cost. Yang Rui was so hard to say about the cost, so they had to say that the cost of the laboratory is very high, which costs about 6,000 yuan per ton. I don't know how much it can be reduced after mass production.
Brothers and others knew that the cost was more than 3,000 yuan per ton, but this was not considered the benefits of additional products such as starch and soy sauce. Seeing that Yang Rui said the cost was high, he was happy. Zheng Wei just took the chopsticks and poured some water on the table and started to convert the cost of ton to two. After a while, he said: "One liang costs two corners, two cents and five cents, this business is done."
Seeing that Zheng Weigang was very interested, Brother Ador knew what he had in mind and said, "It's not expensive for Alah every two cents, but for Xiangning, it's very expensive. With the gross profit, it's probably going to be sold for four cents and five cents. How can I afford it?" Seeing Zheng Weigang and Master Fang pondering, Master Song nodded and said, "Ala saw two fellow villagers and Master Yang make this thing, which is not even foreigners, so he has to invest money. Even if he can't make money, he can grow Ala's ambition." Brother Ador is worthy of being an old world, and his words are high-sounding and can stand scrutiny. Everyone cheered in unison and consciously cut a sip of old wine.
Brother Ade continued to fool him: "How much money does this foreigner earn from Ala every year and how much goods he has pulled away? You can see how much steamer there is on the dock. Ala also wants to make money from their money this time. Although he doesn't make much, it's also a lot of money. Master Zheng, whether this can be accomplished depends on whether it can be done. Ala thanks first." After saying that, he picked up a glass of old wine to toast Zheng Weigang, and Yang Rui and others also came to pay attention to it. Zheng Weigang had to bear it and dry it all in one sip.
After Zheng Weigang finished drinking, he felt excited. Yu Qiaqing couldn't get up early without any profit. Everyone knows the name of "barefoot God of Wealth". Is he really willing to fight with foreigners? He absolutely doesn't believe it. Judging from the situation of buying equipment, the MSG plate is not big, and Yu Qiaqing's shares are not too small. However, now they don't mention the issue of investing in the shares. It should be that the shares are all together. No one wants to give it up again. Zheng Weigang thought in his heart, but he was calm on the surface, but he just warmly called everyone to eat vegetables and cut wine. During the meal, Brother Ador also called a female gentleman to accompany him. He wanted to give Yang Rui three female gentlemen to accompany him, but Zheng Weigang stopped him and said that the female gentlemen in Yu Qiaqing's yard was not good. He called a servant and ran out. After a while, several female gentlemen came over, one by one, sat next to Yang Rui and Yu Huizu and others.
In Shanghai, no matter what life is like in the future, many things are very particular. For example, prostitutes are not called prostitutes, but only called female gentlemen. Recruiting prostitutes is not called prostitutes, but called bureaus. Yang Rui had seen these people when he was shopping before. He was very surprised at the time: because they had small feet, they each time they went out, in addition to sitting in a carriage and sedan chair, they also had to find a strong man, sitting on the man's shoulders with one legs, clamping the man's neck with one hand, putting one hand on the man's head, and holding a flowery handkerchief in the other hand, and then swaying over the market. When Yang Rui saw this, he thought it was his father who was wandering around with his children, but later he saw more and more. When he saw the woman on it, he immediately realized it.
Yang Rui looked at the top female husband called Guifeng beside him, and thought that she was just coming over the man's shoulders. In addition, her face was covered with white powder, but a little vermilion was placed on the middle of her lips, just like the Japanese geisha in later generations. The more she looked, the more disgusting it became. Maybe this was the popular dress in this era, but Yang Rui didn't like it anyway, so he rarely paid attention to this woman. However, Guifeng, the top female husband, is a rare modern version of the otakus, with a gentle and elegant computer flavor, and she was happy and she was tired of her voice and coquettish. However, Yang Rui pushed her toast several times, which made this woman named Guifeng feel embarrassed and sat on one side and hated her heart. The two of them had a festive relationship.
The dinner was very lively, and the guests and guests were all happy. Delicious delicacies, and after drinking a lot of wine, it only made people feel unconscious and dizzy. Yang Rui had to use the excuse to say that it was convenient to go to the bathroom. When he turned to the bathroom, a cold wind rushed out of the corner that he didn't know, which made Yang Rui's whole body cold. He filled the washbasin of the bathroom with cold water. He poured the cold water on his face, patted his face hard, and after a while, he sank his face in the cold water, and it took him a long time to get up. Yang Rui opened his eyes and felt that the people in the glass mirror seemed to be acquaintance. The water fell from the handsome face. Yang Rui touched the face in the mirror with his hand and said to himself: "Yang Rui, don't forget who you are."
