The Lord of the World Begins from the Siheyuan

Time flies so fast, half a month later.

7 month 16 day.

Sunday, morning.

The construction site in Haidian also worked on weekends, but Team Leader Qiu and others were in charge. With some free time on weekends, Li Ming drove Zhou Xiaobai and others up the mountain to hunt.

Zhou Xiaobai wanted to see the hole he dug in the mountain before.

He would naturally satisfy her with such a simple request, and the hunting location was chosen in the mountains of Yongfeng Commune.

Along the path, it took a while to arrive. Zhang Haiyang, who was carrying a gun, rushed there first, "This is the big hole you dug! How awesome!"

Zhang Haiyang's good friend Yang Xiaojing followed closely behind and made two gestures, "It's really awesome!"

Another good friend, Liu Guoping, was leaning on a pole with a rope tied to it. "I heard Haiyang talk about this before, and I thought he was bragging!"

Yang Xiaojing and Liu Guoping are both students of Bayi School.

When Li Ming took care of Zhang Haiyang, they watched the excitement and made noise. They also rode in Li Ming's minivan when they went to Huaqing High School to watch the excitement.

Luo Yun didn't keep it a secret that she was coming to hunt. Zhang Haiyang heard about it and wanted to come with him. Li Ming didn't refuse. One by one, there were a few more people.

The military training ended a few days ago, and these people can be considered as herding sheep. Decades later, the famous "Stubborn Leader" began to take shape.

Li Ming knew them, but was not familiar with them. "I haven't been here for a long time. People from the security department come more often."

"Maybe it's because this place is quite popular, so small animals are walking around here, so I haven't caught any prey for a while."

Zhou Xiaobai and Luo Yun stood a little distance away from Zhang Haiyang and the others, looking at the big pit in front of them and marveling.

Zhang Haiyang looked around and asked, "Then how do we find prey now?"

Li Ming chuckled and said, "Just bet on luck."

Zhang Haiyang asked suspiciously: "Don't you have any special skills?"

Li Ming said casually: "No matter how good the method is, it is useless. There are so many of us now, and most animals have very sensitive ears. They will run away when they hear the sound from far away."

"Only silly roe deer, pheasants hiding in the grass, etc. can run into us."

Liu Guoping said enthusiastically: "It's good that we can hit the pheasant. This trip is not in vain."

Yang Xiaojing took out a small glass bottle from his messenger bag, "I brought some soy sauce, salt, and ginger from home."

"If I don't catch anything today, my work will be in vain."

Liu Guoping was amused, "I said you also brought a bottle in your bag. I thought it was soda and planned to grab it when I got thirsty later, but it turned out that you brought soy sauce."

Yang Xiaojing laughed and scolded: "You are so fucking thoughtful!"

People like Zhang Haiyang are proud of their fathers, and they have learned the mantras of their fathers.

It can be said that many people, regardless of gender, have this mantra.

Li Ming was also amused by their train of thought, "Since you have brought everything together and you won't be able to catch any prey later, it's not impossible for us to get a fish and make a grilled fish."

Zhou Xiaobai blurted out: "It's good to make grilled fish!"

Luo Yun asked in confusion: "Xiaobai? When did you eat grilled fish?"

"Last year, you were still away from home and didn't come back." After telling too many lies, Zhou Xiaobai is now a man who can tell lies with his mouth open, and his face is not red, and his heart is not beating.

Luo Yun Xiaoxiao complained: "When I called you, you didn't even tell me."

Zhou Xiaobai comforted her: "I just want to listen to you share interesting things outside." Apart from the fact that it was not appropriate to say it at the time, she was indeed very curious about the outside world.

The three boys at the other end were surrounding the big pit, seriously discussing how to lure prey.

"It would be good to use rice or wheat."

"I think it's better to use fruit. The red, yellow and orange ones are very eye-catching."

"The fruit shriveled up after just two attempts. I think salt will be more effective."

"If it rains any time, the salt will dissolve to the bottom of the pit."

You deny mine, I deny his, and the three of them are at loggerheads.

Luo Yun couldn't help but interjected: "Why can't you put some in all?"

"That's right!" "Then let's put some of it in?" "Okay."

"I only brought a few apricots." "I brought a few peaches."

As they were messing around, Li Ming asked Zhou Xiaobai beside him in a low voice, "Are you thirsty?"

Zhou Xiaobai said happily: "Not yet."

"I fooled the three of them. I'll teach you how to shoot later."

Zhou Xiaobai said charmingly: "We used to study in school."

Li Ming said jokingly: "If you haven't learned yet, I will guide you step by step."

Well aware of her boyfriend's impropriety, Zhou Xiaobai gave him a sharp look and said as lightly as a mosquito, "There are so many people."

"Hehehe!" Li Ming smiled without saying a word, with teasing eyes.

Zhou Xiaobai looked at him and wanted to punch him twice.

Just teasing is enough, so as not to offend her, Li Ming said softly: "You will find the pheasant later, you can shoot it."

Zhou Xiaobai glanced at Luo Yun and the others, "Can we find them?"

"Don't worry, but it's not here, it's in the col."

"Did you find it on the way here just now?"

"It has been discovered before that there is more food at the foot of the mountain."

"Then let's go now!"

"No problem." Li Ming shouted to the group of four: "It's time to go, let's go to the mountain col to find pheasants and hares, and then have a picnic."

Zhang Haiyang said proudly: "I knew you must be very good at finding prey."

Li Ming and others had a leisurely hunting outing in the capital.

Port city.

Chen Kee Noodle Factory.

The Chen brothers, who were still focusing on noodle cakes, were about to collapse. After researching for more than half a month, they still couldn't make noodle cakes similar to those of Xingchen Company.

There is no way to significantly reduce costs and seize the market with the advantage of low prices, so the only way is to make products with similar tastes to seize the market.

When the results of another test came out, Chen Zhandao said depressedly: "Brother, it still tastes bad."

Chen Zhanhao cursed loudly: "Fuck this mother, what else are you missing?"

Chen Zhandao was also a little discouraged, "We have tried every method. We have basically added everything that can be added, but we just can't make that fragrance."

"I haven't heard that Xingchen Company has modified any production processes."

Chen Zhanhao suddenly thought of something, "Brother, do you think Xingchen Company added some prohibited items?"

Chen Zhandao asked, "What could it be? White powder? Or poppy?" Chen Zhanhao just had a flash of inspiration, "I don't know yet. I really can't think of what food additives were added. We can only think about things that cannot be added." "

Chen Zhandao said very excitedly: "If Xingchen Company really joins in, then we have found their handle, and we can even beat Xingchen Company to death with a stick."

"Many of our employees are very dissatisfied with the lack of salary increase. Using noodles at discounted prices has temporarily stabilized them, but this method will not last long."

"Only by overthrowing Xingchen Company as soon as possible can our pressure be reduced."

The 'Building Industry Benchmark Plan' that Li Ming came up with is very effective in disrupting things.

With a new idea, Chen Zhanhao cheered up and said: "First take the noodles from Xingchen Company for testing. See if there is anything in it that shouldn't be added!"

The idea was actually the same as Li Ming's. If it was difficult for him to improve himself, then he would pull the other person down.

"I'll tell them to do it right away." Chen Zhandao asked again: "Brother, what do you think we send someone to go undercover at Xingchen Company?"

"Undercover?"

"He is an undercover agent, not only looking for evidence that Xingchen Company uses illegal additives, but also learning about Xingchen Company's production process."

Chen Zhanhao agreed: "This method is okay. Find a reliable person to find out the bottom, and let's give him a two-pronged approach."

The two brothers thought they had found the answer to the mystery and became excited again.

Central.

Federal Building, Star Company Conference Room.

Lou Xiao'e is holding a regular meeting.

Consultant Huang Fuyi reported the latest news, "Since the Tai Po bomb attack on July 7, there have been bombs on the streets every day these days."

"But ordinary citizens don't feel scared. There are very eye-catching signs to remind you every time. As long as everyone is careful, there will be no big problem."

"The bomb incident has little impact on business in the market."

Lou Xiao'e nodded and said: "It seems that as long as there is no more curfew, the business of the stalls in Da Pai Dong will be less affected."

Mars Trading Manager Tang Hongde added: "The curfew has the greatest impact. Those stall owners and shop owners reported to our salesmen that several curfews in June caused them heavy losses."

Because of the plane accident half a month ago, my uncle, who has not been on business trips for the time being, said: "Foreign trade is very strong. Manufacturers have many orders and recruit many workers. As long as there is money, the market will prosper."

The same is true.

This group of people did not learn the viciousness of those worried people. Where the bombs were placed, there were large text reminders and warning patterns specially arranged so that even people who could not read could understand them.

Can't be scared!

In the early days of 2020, the Soviet military operations in Uzbekistan would stop at traffic lights, and the residents of Uzbekistan were afraid of a hammer.

Similarly, the current residents of Hong Kong City are not afraid at all.

Every time there is a bomb sign, there is a large circle of people pointing and watching, discussing whether the bomb is real or fake.

The impact on business in the market has been very limited.

In July, Xingchen Company's bread, instant noodles, and ham business all increased slightly compared to June.

Lou Xiao'e concluded: "There is no problem with the general environment. The company's performance depends on your efforts."

Manager Wen Guangshun of the instant noodle factory said: "The factory is now in full production. Manager Xu and I have also discussed security measures to ensure that production will not be sabotaged."

Xu Zhiyong from the security company said at the right time: "Some of the latest electronic alarm devices have been installed, and additional manpower has been deployed to increase the density of patrols. Ordinary night-time gangsters are not allowed to enter the factory."

In the food business, you not only have to do your best, but you also have to prevent outsiders from putting some messy things into your factory.

If something unexpected happens, customers will not care who is responsible, they will just think that there is something wrong with the food in this restaurant.

Li Ming is in charge of the security department. In his old profession, he must be careful.

Even several museums in Beijing have begun to use electronic alarms, and he asked factories in Hong Kong City to use them more.

Lin Changjiu from the ham sausage factory said with a smile: "Director Li really had the foresight to set up the security company in our ham sausage factory."

"With a large number of security guards guarding the site, we can all carry out production with peace of mind."

People who engage in secret work must be very cautious. My uncle is not surprised. "Many people have asked me if I can take a stake in building a ham sausage factory in Waifu. They are very interested in this product."

Lou Xiao'e said proudly: "Just tell me, we are building factories in Singapore and on the east coast of the Taiwan Strait."

The eldest uncle said with a smile: "I rejected them all."

The ham sausage has not applied for a patent in Hong Kong City. It is equivalent to an exclusive formula. We are not afraid of others applying for it first. We can object when the time comes.

Xingchen Company has applied for patented technologies in Yingguo, Riben, Nanchaomo, Xinjiapo and other places.

I had to apply. Li Ming's reputation was not enough to intimidate people there. Others used equipment to physically and chemically analyze the ingredients of the ham sausage. According to the ingredient list, they could figure out the approximate proportions after several attempts.

The effect of patent protection is just that. The biggest advantage is that it can occupy a great reputation and help marketing.

Authentic, this word can still impress the crowd in Dongya Market.

Lou Xiao'e warned: "Manager Lin, you should communicate more with Cambrian Laboratory and strive to develop more new ham sausages."

Equipment from the Cambrian Laboratory has begun to arrive, and various studies are gradually being carried out.

In the past, instant noodles have always been the most popular, but now ham sausages and ham sausages provide an increasing proportion of the company's profits.

Lin Changjiu, whose waist is getting harder and harder, said with a smile on his face: "Don't worry, Chairman, we are actively promoting the research and development of three new products. As soon as there is a breakthrough, we will report to you immediately."

Lou Xiao'e said with satisfaction: "Very good."

"The half-year bonuses of the company's employees have been reviewed, and tomorrow the company's financial staff will go to each factory to distribute them. You must maintain order on site."

The semi-annual bonus is a one-time cash bonus based on employee performance and salary level. During the year-end bonus, a house is drawn.

Distributing money is something everyone is happy about. Wen Guangshun smiled and said: "We are all looking forward to this bonus. If anyone wants to cause trouble, all the employees in the factory will not agree."

Lin Changjiu still said the same thing, "A large group of security guards are in our factory. No one dares to cause trouble."

Senior executives also receive half-year bonuses. Tang Hongde smiled and said: "After receiving the half-year bonus, the people below will be even more motivated. They will think about the grand prize at the end of the year every day."

Huang Fuyi suggested: "Chairman, I think we can still spread the news."

"If our company pays out money, our employees will definitely tell it. We don't have to publish it in newspapers, but our competitors should publicize it more."

Lou Xiao'e agreed: "It's okay. Director Li doesn't allow publicity because he doesn't want our Xingchen Company to become someone else's pawn."

"Those who argue use us as an example will do more harm than good to the company."

Li Ming doesn't want Xingchen Company to become a sign to attack other evil bosses. He is currently lacking in strength and should do less things that provoke public anger.

Huang Fuyi replied: "I understand, a big tree attracts the wind."

Lou Xiao'e explained a few more words, "There is a word called moral kidnapping. If we are in the limelight this time, if anything happens in the future, others will ask us to stand out."

"This is the reason why we build schools and raise wages without vigorously publicizing them."

The uncle went on to explain further, "We must focus on guarding against 'moral kidnapping'. Otherwise, people asking us to donate money will probably be queued from Central to the New Territories."

"If someone from the To Kwa Wan headquarters comes to us and asks us to donate some activity funds, we will be in big trouble."

"Ying Guoguo still has the final say in Hong Kong City. When the time comes, our company will be seized and the whole thing will be over."

Ying Guoguo has blocked several newspapers that support To Kwa Wan. (End of chapter)
