Black-bellied vs. Black-bellied: Ultimate Showdown

Fu Yansheng greeted the waiter to hand over the wine list to Ye Qinru and asked him to order it.

Ye Qinru asked the waiter next to him, "Do you have any recommendations?"

The waiter said enthusiastically, "Would you like a bottle of Lafite?"

Ye Qinru asked, "Is it from 1982?"

As soon as these words came out, Fu Yansheng laughed, as if Ye Qinru had asked a very interesting question.

The waiter said: "Uh, I'm sorry, we only have Lafite from 1996 and 2000 in our store. If your husband wants it, I can tell the general manager now that I should be able to transfer a bottle within half an hour..."

Ye Qinru waved his hand and said, "Forget it."

He flipped through the menu, picked out a bottle of red wine from a certain French winery, reported his name, and asked Fu Yansheng if he had heard of it.

Fu Yansheng said: "Drinked it once, the mouth is glycolic, not astringent, not bad."

"Then have a bottle of this bar." Ye Qinru handed the wine list back to the waiter and explained to Fu Yansheng, "I have business in the afternoon, so I shouldn't drink too much."

"It's okay, a bottle of wine is enough." After the waiter left, Fu Yansheng continued, "Actually, it's not impossible that Ye always wants to drink 82-year-old Lafite."

"No need," Ye Qinru explained with a faint smile, "I usually go out to socialize, and people often make fun of 82 Lafite at the dinner table. I was just teasing that girl. In fact, for people who really like to drink red wine, it is not necessary. The quality of red wines of thousands of dollars in small wineries is no less than those of well-known brands. Mr. Fu has studied economics, and he must know what is behind those wines that have been fired at sky-high prices. Why should we follow that fashion?”

Fu Yansheng smiled and said, "Mr. Ye is a sensible person."

Qi Yu was surprised. Just now, Ye Qinru and the waiter talked so seriously. He thought that the other party really wanted to drink 82-year-old Lafite, but he didn't expect that he was just teasing others?

Ye Qinru glanced at Qi Yu and said, "Besides, when Qi Yu and I met for the first time, we had to have a bottle of wine worth 100,000 yuan for a light meal, so we shouldn't scare people."

Qi Yu asked, "Is Lafite so expensive?"

Fu Yansheng explained: "In 1982, Lafite has indeed been hyped to this price in China. Compared with the red wine itself, this wine is more of a hyped collection value."

Qi Yu rolled his eyes and seemed to think of something, but didn't speak.

Fu Yansheng and Ye Qinru continued to discuss red wine, from wine production, brand to wine tasting method, and then to investment in foreign wineries. Qi Yu felt that this was a meeting between two wine vendors, and they were going to make a partnership. A big deal about wine.

The two also thought about how to hype an unknown wine into a famous brand at the dinner table.

"First of all, the quality of the wine itself must pass the test, and it must be delicious," Ye Qinru raised his glass and said, "I think this bottle of Oran winery is quite good. After selecting it, I will go to the winery to see the owner first. Tell him that we plan to invest in this bottle of wine, negotiate good terms, and if the wine speculation is successful, we will enjoy a premium dividend for at least ten years."

Fu Yansheng: "Invite some famous people to advertise, but to improve the quality of this wine, you can't find ordinary famous people..."

Ye Qinru: "Yes, at least it has to be at the royal level. For example, when a certain prince is scheduled to have a banquet, he sponsors this wine for free..."

Fu Yansheng: "The relationship between the royal family is not easy to get through, and it is more sensitive to the political world. It is better to find a channel for people to bring this wine to dinner with Bill Gates, take a picture quietly, and then let the media publicize it and gain a certain popularity. After that, find a well-known director to shoot an art film commercial that no one can understand.”

Ye Qinru: "Find a **** beauty in a suspender skirt to shoot?"

"Sexy beauty?" Fu Yansheng smiled and shook his head, "Mr. Ye is not sure about the positioning of this wine, our positioning is a high-end business wine, the purpose is to attract the attention of the rich and powerful, you imply the wine's taste in this regard. The grade has been lowered.”

Ye Qinru: "Then what do you think is appropriate?"

Fu Yansheng: "Find a group of good-looking male actors to play the upper-class men in suits and leather shoes, and shoot the "Downton Abbey" style pictures. They do not show their faces throughout the whole process, and only show the movements of the characters below the neck... pour wine, serve wine glasses, and cut steaks , the posture must be elegant, inadvertently let the servant on the side knock over the red wine on the table, sprinkle the master all over, creating a visual impact..."

Qi Yu was fascinated at first, but when Fu Yansheng said that he had overturned the red wine, he was shocked and looked at each other in surprise.

Fu Yansheng didn't realize it, and continued to say, "Then the servant squatted down and wiped for the master, only showing one side of his face, and the master couldn't mess up, so he raised his hand to let the other person wipe, and the servant patted him again after wiping. The movement of a cloth towel dipped in red wine is like being drunk..."

Ye Qinru said excitedly, "I have a picture!"

Qi Yu: "...???"

Ye Qinru explained: "The purpose of not showing your face is to allow the audience to substitute for those characters. Just this scene where the servant crouches down and wipes it can awaken the viewer's inner desire for power and status. The most extreme is the scene where the servant smells wine. What he smells is not only the smell of wine, but also the smell of power... ah~ ah, just listening to Mr. Fu say this, I want to taste how good this wine is!"

Qi Yu: "..."

Fu Yansheng smiled, then glanced at Qi Yu quietly, and there was an ambiguity in his eyes that only the two of them understood.

Qi Yu secretly scolded "absurd", angry that Fu Yansheng was actually teasing himself in disguise on such an occasion, but he couldn't help but feel moved by the scene described by the other party, and his mind was full of Fu Yansheng pouring his own red wine and hugging him that night. The picture of kissing again and again...

While he was absent, Fu Yansheng and Ye Qinru had already changed the subject and talked about something else.

The two transitioned from red wine hype to the domestic wine economy, interspersed with some political topics, and then returned to the current situation and future development of Nanri Technology, and finally touched a little bit of the purpose of their meeting.

When it comes to the future of the industry, Ye Qin is so eloquent, his eyes are full of energy, but when he talks about the rise, he suddenly sinks, as if he touched something on his mind.

Fu Yansheng asked at the right time, "Isn't Ye always dissatisfied with the status quo?"

Ye Qinru asked back: "I am the youngest among all the executives of Nanri Technology. What else am I dissatisfied with?"

Fu Yansheng: "I see that you posted a Weibo a few days ago, it's very interesting."

Ye Qinru: "What Weibo?"

Fu Yansheng: "Your Weibo said that the charcoal-fired hot pot killed the 'bullfrogs' ideals in life. As an amphibian, the bullfrog itself has no ideals in life, but you gave it an ideal, and said that it was Burned to death. I used to read the news and described the 'bullfrog' as a child who was better than others since childhood. I don't know if you are using this to refer to yourself, or to people like you, as a metaphor for the suppression of ideals. Of course, If my interpretation is wrong, don't take it to heart, it's just a joke."

Ye Qinru looked at Fu Yansheng, smiled lightly, raised his glass and said, "Brother Fu understands me."

Qi Yu was amazed secretly, it turns out that such a simple sentence can still have such an interpretation in Fu Yansheng's eyes! ?

Ye Qinru took a sip of wine and said with emotion: "Nari Technology is a domestic technology giant, and this is the highest career goal that I think a person of my identity can achieve... French writer Le Pen once said that there is no freedom in groups. Will, I didn't understand it before, but now I take it for granted. Even in Nanri, I am one of the ordinary talents. Everything we do is only for the will of a few people. They are all tool people, and it is impossible to achieve personal ideals through this path.”

Fu Yansheng: "So Brother Ye wants to come out and do it alone?"

Ye Qinru: "I do have this idea."

Fu Yansheng: "Brother Ye has a lot of courage, but in this day and age, it's not easy to start from scratch. After all, the social class in China has become more and more stable. Even for a person like Brother Ye, trying to win resources from a big boss is like hitting a stone with an egg. ."

Ye Qinru frowned slightly.

Fu Yansheng: "However, if you really want to start from scratch, it is in line with Siyuan Group's current state of preparing to open up wasteland in the field of technology. We have nothing now. Of course, we have backers."

Ye Qinru looked at Fu Yansheng with interest. Fu Yansheng briefly said a few words about the current situation of Siyuan Group's Science and Technology Development Department. Said: "The main purpose of meeting today is to get to know Brother Ye and make friends, so I won't talk more about business."

Ye Qinru: "..."

After that, Fu Yansheng naturally turned the topic to another place and chatted a little more.

Two hours passed quickly, and Ye Qinru was obviously still a little unfinished, but Fu Yansheng also stopped in time, saying that he did not dare to delay Ye Qinru's time.

After the meal, Qi Yu said to go to the bathroom first, Ye Qinru and Fu Yansheng were left in the box, and Ye Qinru said to Fu Yansheng, "I heard that you were the first-class negotiator of Huan Sheng back then, Bai Wen said. Better to see you."

Fu Yansheng: "Brother Ye is overrated."

Ye Qinru: "However, Li Qing said that you have been working in a brokerage firm and refused to go to high school. She also wondered why you suddenly became a lobbyist for the young owner of Siyuan Group... I just observed it for a long time, and I seem to understand it. "

Fu Yansheng: "How do you say?"

Ye Qinru's tone was sour: "Just now at the dinner table, when we were chatting, every time you spoke, Young Master Qi's eyes seemed to grow on you."

Fu Yansheng smiled lightly: "He does worship me a little..."

Ye Qinru: "Hey, I want a little gold master who looks up to me like an idol every day, and I'm willing to go through fire and water for him."

Fu Yansheng stretched out his hand and said, "He respects capable people. Although he is still studying, two years have passed quickly. Now is the time when he is short of manpower. If Mr. Ye is willing to come to Siyuan, he will definitely get his attention in the future. ."

When he said this, Ye Qinru had already understood: "We will discuss it in detail another day."

The two shook hands, and Fu Yansheng revealed in a low voice: "The management team of the Science and Technology Department of Siyuan Group has not been fully formed. Currently, there is only one assistant who is responsible for connecting things in the domestic office on behalf of Qiyu. That person is your die-hard fan. ."

"...Oh?" Ye Qinru said curiously, "Male or female?"

Fu Yansheng: "Male."

Ye Qinru raised his eyebrows, he was not short of female fans, but male fans seemed to be relatively rare.

After a while, Qi Yu came back and officially said goodbye to Ye Qinru, saying that he might be going back to California tonight.

"By the way," Qi Yu recalled, "Speaking of the 1982 Lafite, I have several bottles at home in the United States, which were given by my dad's friend in the early years. If Mr. Ye likes it, I will meet you for dinner next time. Bring two bottles over and let's drink together."

Ye Qinru was stunned for a moment, then suddenly laughed loudly: "Qi Shao is really lavish, then, I'll wait for your 'next time'."

Fu Yansheng: Wu Shuang is a fan of yours. I read more than 6,000 of your Weibo posts.

Ye Qinru squinted: It's interesting.

Wu Shuang: ? ? ? People do things! ?
