Dong Qiangqiang's Story of Leaving Germany

Chapter 964 964. It’s honey and it’s arsenic

After measuring the size of the room, Dong Qiangqiang rushed downstairs, found an Internet cafe owned by a Turk on the corner of the street, and quickly printed out the lotus pattern he liked. Then I drove to the OBI large-scale building materials chain supermarket closest to the office and searched according to the picture, and easily bought all the decoration materials.

Time was tight and the task was heavy. After solving the problem of painting the wall, he couldn't take rest and rushed to Wanfu Restaurant non-stop.

There is still some time before the business opens at 17:, and the kitchen is usually resting at this time, but today the kitchen is very busy.

He asked the restaurant owner why he started preparing dinner so early. The owner, who was smiling from ear to ear, told him that the restaurant had previously applied to the city hall to entrust a fishing company with a fishing license to legally fish the crabs that came to Hamburg from the Elbe River. The application was successfully approved, and tens of thousands of hairy crabs were caught amidst the roar of modern fishing equipment.

It is said that crabs were introduced to German freshwater waters during World War I. Crabs with no natural enemies reproduced crazily throughout Germany, which directly led to blockage of river channels, damage to river beds, and destruction of the ecological environment of inland rivers. In addition, Germans have never had the tradition of eating crabs, so crabs The number is increasing day by day, and many cities are overwhelmed, and Hamburg is one of them.

Dong Qiangqiang was curious as to why there were so many crabs in March. The restaurant owner laughed and replied that German crabs migrate to Hamburg Port at this time every year. German experts believe that it may be because the salt content in the estuary is higher, which is conducive to crabs laying eggs.

Because the harvest was so abundant, the boss sold the excess crabs to other Chinese restaurants, except for keeping some for himself, and made a huge profit.

Taking advantage of the boss's good mood, Dong Qiangqiang did not go around in circles and directly proposed that he would like to pick some Chinese furniture that Wanfu had eliminated. I wonder if the boss still has it and if the price can be discounted.

Unexpectedly, the boss waved his hand: As long as Dong Qiangqiang likes you and moves out, the money will be waived. Dong Qiangqiang didn't expect that his boss would still be so nostalgic after so long. He was surprised and moved, and he insisted that not only should the money be given, but not even a penny should be lost.

The boss saw that the young man was thin-skinned and easily impulsive, so he took him to the room where old furniture was stored. He pointed at a room full of crooked and cluttered old furniture and said: The reason why he didn't charge money was not just nostalgia or being polite to Dong Qiangqiang. , in one word: Dong Qiangqiang does not suffer any loss by giving him old furniture.

These words made Dong Qiangqiang even more curious. After questioning, the boss said: Needless to say, the first point is that Dong Qiangqiang’s act of providing help in times of crisis is still engraved in his heart to this day. Secondly, in addition to Dong Qiangqiang’s friends who occasionally come over to support him, Lebai’s tour groups will definitely choose to dine at Wanfu as long as they are in Hamburg or nearby cities. Especially last year, the income from group meals was nearly three times that of the year before. Third, it costs money to dispose of old furniture in Germany. It is impossible to just throw so much old furniture on the street in Wanfu. Even if you throw it away, people will know it is from his Wanfu restaurant. Maybe they will collect it and clean it up. In addition to the fee, he had to be fined again. Dong Qiangqiang's move would also save him money, worry and effort. Last but not least, he would be very happy if these old objects could continue to exert their residual heat in other places, especially if they could help Dong Qiangqiang.

Seeing that although the boss was a businessman, he was not a philistine and spoke sincerely without any pretense. Dong Qiangqiang knew that the boss would definitely not accept his money, and he was embarrassed to refuse. However, it is also Dong Qiangqiang's rule of life that he should not be rewarded for no merit. Since the boss If he doesn’t need furniture money, then he can order more meals to take away. After all, he has to eat every day.

He wanted to order some of the most expensive dishes, but the boss saw right through it and asked him with a smile why he would eat anything else when he had such good crabs? As the saying goes, arriving early is worse than arriving wisely. Take ten kilograms and taste it first. If it is not enough, come again. Dong Qiangqiang laughed and said that I don’t even have a job as a cook, and you can’t do it even if you give it to me. The boss also laughed, then come here to eat fresh food every day, you will definitely take care of enough.

He quickly picked out furniture that suited Zhan Chan's office and caught his eye. The boss also gave him a discarded tea set, several exquisite ceramic ornaments, a calligraphy and painting and a God of Wealth, but the God of Wealth accepted him. 66 euros, nothing else will be charged. After agreeing with his boss on a time to pick up everything, Dong Qiangqiang returned to the office with steamed crabs and toppings.

When Duanmu came to deliver sleeping bags to Dong Qiangqiang at night, he was shocked when he opened the door and saw it. Dong Qiangqiang not only cleaned up all the garbage in the office, but also painted one wall, and was eating crab legs with relish.

"Okay, it's efficient enough." Duanmu carefully tapped the wall with his finger, "If you can finish it so quickly, can we all come out tomorrow?"

"Do you think there's a smell in the house?" Dong Qiangqiang asked, staring at the printed lotus without raising his head.

After Dong Qiangqiang reminded him, Duanmu realized that there was really no pungent smell in the room. He couldn't help but put his nose to the wall and sniffed hard. After confirming that what Dong Qiangqiang said was true, he couldn't help but praise: " Really, how did you do it?”

"Water-based paint has little smell and the color will not fade after being washed with water for 48 hours."

"Not bad, not cheap, right?" Duanmu felt a little distressed.

"Then I will bring two buckets of cheap ones back tomorrow?" Dong Qiangqiang pushed the plate with a plate of crabs towards Duanmu while chewing the crab roe, "Do it yourself." "You don't have so much time to waste, just hurry up and get it out." Duanmu was not polite. He followed Dong Qiangqiang's example and sat on the floor. He picked up the largest and fattest crab on the plate and ate it while praising him, "Hey, this crab is really good. No wonder people say 'crab'." The claws are gold liquid, and the hills are Penglai. Where did you get it? Hey, let’s talk about it first, this is for your personal enjoyment and the company cannot repay it.”

"Boss Wanfu gave it to me." Dong Qiangqiang, who had figured out how to paint lotuses, put down the crab and wiped his hands while saying, "The furniture is also done. I'll go into the furniture after the painting is finished."

Duanmu was too busy to talk and kept nodding.

"There is something I forgot to mention during the day. I will not go to do any research with German or American companies in the future."

"Why?" Duanmu stopped chewing the crab legs, "You got discouraged after being rejected and hit a hard nail?"

"It doesn't matter whether you are discouraged or not. The main thing is that it doesn't make much sense. Just like before, the real owners can't be seen, so why bother? Why don't you find a law firm that cooperates with us and talk to listed companies directly? Maybe you can gain something. More."

"You think I haven't looked for it?" Duanmu quickly killed one and picked up another. "It's not much better than you. The law firm still has to spend money."

"Have you looked for it? When?"

"Two weeks before you come back."

"Then why haven't I heard you mention it?"

"Afraid of affecting you." Duanmu killed the second one, picked up the third one, compared the second one's shell with some disgust, threw it back to the plate, picked up the other one and continued to chew.

"Can't law firms enter the gates of listed companies? I thought it would be more convenient for German lawyers."

"This kind of due diligence and coordination all depends on the listed companies. There is a big cultural difference between German listed companies and American listed companies in this regard. American companies are relatively more cooperative."

“But the ones that make the most fraud are usually the ones that are positive.”

"You can't generalize." Duanmu corrected.

"But if we can't get in, we can only talk to ourselves and speculate on many things."

"We state the facts and say that we can't get in, and the law firm can't get in, plus our analysis based on data is enough. It doesn't matter whether the analysis is correct or not, the important thing is..."

"Let investors have good or bad expectations." Dong Qiangqiang and Duanmu said in unison.

"Hey, you finally figured it out, little boy." Duanmu nodded in praise while quickly grabbing the last crab on the plate, "Just like to the Chinese, crabs are a delicacy, but to the Germans, It’s more like poison. The same is true for many stocks. Those problematic stocks are a nightmare for ordinary investors, but they are delicious crab roe for us.”
