I saw everything

Chapter 136 Thriller (Medium Cup)
In the early morning, the sun shines on the sparkling sea, and Busan Port gradually wakes up.

In nearby Haeundae, local fishermen got busy early in the morning despite the cold wind. They skillfully sorted out their fishing nets, preparing to go out to sea for fishing. Their faces showed anticipation for the harvest, as well as anxiety and numbness hidden deep in their eyes.

The seafood market near the port of this small fishing port is bustling, with stalls filled with fresh seafood, including octopus, crabs, sea fish, etc., with a wide variety.

Many stall owners were shouting enthusiastically and bargaining with customers. The air was filled with the salty smell of the sea and the bustling atmosphere of fireworks.

But at this moment a car was speeding past the road in front of the seafood market.

The person in the car at this time was Jin Yuanji, the president of Xiyuan Group, who had rushed over from the headquarters.

His eyes were filled with anxiety and anger. Seeing the driver still waiting for the traffic light, he irritably scolded: "Drive faster!"

"Boss, now is..."

Fortunately, the green light came on at this time. The driver secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time, he looked down on Jin Yuanji in his heart: "Asshole! Idiot! You only take out your anger on a small person like me, you deserve your company to be in trouble!"

Pass two intersections.

The car stopped at the gate of Xiyuan Group's eel breeding base in Haeundae. Jin Yuanji pushed the door open roughly and got out of the car in a hurry with his secretary without even closing the door.

Park Dae-chang, the deputy manager in charge of local business, had arrived here two hours ago.

As soon as he arrived at the base, he saw Park Daechang with a grim look on his face, and Jin Yuanji asked loudly: "Daechang, what's the situation now?"

Park Dachang, who was awakened, turned his head and looked at the anxious president. He showed an embarrassed and helpless expression: "Smecta! President! The technical department is trying to find a solution."

Hearing this, Jin Yuanji already smelled the smell of perfunctory, and immediately roared: "Damn it! Give me an accurate answer right now!"

Han Yingze, the person in charge of the fish fry breeding project in the technical department, knew that he could no longer hide it, so he gritted his teeth and lowered his head and replied: "Mr. President, I'm very sorry, these eel fry have serious problems and may not survive for more than four months."

"What? How could this happen? Jiang..." The hysterical Jin Yuanji was about to scold Jiang Anye, but suddenly remembered that he was dead. When he thought of this, he thought of the Ryukyu Xihai Company that was cheated by the Hailufeng Company. He suddenly felt a little horrified. He spoke in a low voice, his eyes revealed doubt and uncertainty, and muttered to himself:
"Could it be that the other party deliberately gave me fake skills? Damn it! Damn it!"

Looking at the densely packed glass eels in the nursery pond, Jin Yuanji became more and more certain of his guess, and his heart was bleeding at the same time.

Park Dachang and Han Yingze on the side didn't dare to speak and bring bad luck.

For a moment, the atmosphere in the nursery farm became depressing and silent.

Jin Yuanji forced himself to calm down and stared at the nursery pond. After a while, he raised his head and looked at the technical director Han Yingze again:
"Dr. Yingze, should it be okay for us to sell the eel fry now?"

"President, this won't work." Han Yingze felt uncomfortable being stared at by the president.

Jin Yuanji asked sharply, "Why not? Eel fry will die after four months anyway. The European and American markets mainly eat eel fry, and they don't farm them."

Gulp! Han Yingze swallowed his saliva and quickly explained: "President, these eel fry are in the glass eel state, and there are a lot of hormones and chemical components remaining in their bodies. They must be fed for about half a month to metabolize these drug residues. Otherwise, our products will not pass the food inspection in Europe and the United States."

"what?"

Han Yingze added: "Moreover, two of the drug ingredients are fat-soluble and will remain in the eel's body for about half a year. These two drug ingredients are not allowed to be detected in most markets!"

Jin Yuanji's face was grim, and he asked in a trembling voice: "Can we use medicine to remove these two ingredients?"

Although he knew that his answer would make the president despair, Han Yingze did not want to hide it. After all, if he concealed it now, he would be the first to suffer when something went wrong. He could only shake his head helplessly and said, "Sorry! This is a fat-soluble drug. It is difficult for external drugs to be effective except for the eel's own metabolism. It may even cause the eel fry to die prematurely."

"Huhu... I don't believe it!" Jin Yuanji pointed at another technician and grabbed him by the collar, his eyes full of madness:
"Tell me! There is a way to solve it? Isn't it?"

The technician couldn't help but complain in his heart: "Idiot! Do you really think I'm God?" But he still replied awkwardly: "President, I'm very sorry, I agree with other colleagues that the fat-soluble drug components in the eel fry cannot be removed for the time being."

"Asshole! Useless!" Jin Yuanji pushed the technician to the ground, then looked at Han Yingze and the others, roaring angrily: "How did you do the research? Why didn't you find out that there was a problem with the technology in advance? You are fully responsible for the failure of this project."

"Idiot!" Han Yingze could no longer bear it and shouted back angrily: "Jin Yuanji, you are greedy, what does this have to do with us? From the beginning, I suggested to postpone the production and research the technology first, but you didn't listen at all. Now that something went wrong, you want to put the blame on us. I quit!"

In fact, after Han Yingze and others studied the formula, they felt that there might be problems with the formula, but they couldn't figure out the situation for a while.

In particular, the two chemical drugs suddenly became fat-soluble, which surprised Han Yingze and others.

At the beginning, they had studied the various drugs in the formula and knew the half-life of these drugs. After estimation, they found that the half-life of these drugs would not exceed half a month after the eel fry were hatched.

However, when the eel fry were finally hatched, they tested them and found that things were beyond their expectations.

The two drugs that were originally water-soluble suddenly became fat-soluble and entered the fat of the eel fry, increasing the half-life of the drugs from one week to half a year.

It just so happens that these two drug ingredients are ingredients that must be tested in the global food industry, especially in Europe, America and East Asia, and the minimum content is very strict.

In fact, a week ago, after the eel fry were hatched in large numbers, they discovered the problem and had been trying to solve it, but unfortunately they underestimated Jiang Miao's methods.

Those two chemical drugs act directly on the eel's genes, promoting the eel's degeneration and spawning. If these drugs are not allowed to enter the cells, the eels will not be able to degenerate and spawn.

In other words, only with the use of these two drugs can denaturation and spawning occur, but the drugs will remain inside the fat, causing the half-life of the drugs to be extended to about half a year; without using these two drugs, eel fry cannot be produced.

As for improving the formula, don't even think about it.

Unless they are as cheating as Jiang Miao, you’d better just go to bed!

After venting his inner resentment, Han Yingze tore off his work badge as soon as he finished speaking and threw it directly at Jin Yuanji's face, who was unable to react for a while due to the yelling.

Other researchers and technicians also tore off their work badges, threw them on the ground, and left with Han Yingze.

"You bastards! You trash! I'm going to sue you!" The impotent and furious Jin Yuanji roared and raged.

"Whatever you want! Idiot!" Han Yingze left without looking back.

Looking at the backs of a dozen technicians leaving, Jin Yuanji's chest kept heaving. The secretary beside him saw that he was pale and sweating all over, so he quickly supported him and sat him down aside.

Park Dachang, who was standing by, was very embarrassed and didn't know what to do.

Sit there for a while.

Jin Yuanji's face became paler and paler.

The overreaction just now caused him to lose a lot of physical strength and energy, and a feeling of exhaustion spread throughout his body, especially when he thought of the investment he had made over the past three months and the large number of contracts his son Jin Haorui had signed in Europe and the United States.

Suddenly he reacted, quickly picked up the phone and made an international call.

beep...

"Hey! Dad, what's going on?"

Listening to his son's noisy voice, Jin Yuanji knew that he must be having a good time again. If it were normal, he would have reprimanded him, but at this moment he could not care about anything else and quickly said:
"Haorui, stop all operations immediately and do not sign any more contracts. There is a problem with our eel fry."

"Ashi! Dad, stop joking."

"Why would I lie to you? Come back quickly, or do you want to receive a court summons in San Francisco?" Jin Yuanji said unhappily.

"Damn it! I'll go back right away." Jin Haorui on the opposite side also realized the seriousness of the matter.

After hanging up the phone, Jin Yuanji felt short of breath, and his secretary quickly patted his back.

At 7 p.m. that evening.

Jin Haorui took an Airbus A380 from San Francisco to Busan and finally arrived at the Haeundae eel breeding base in Busan Port after 11 hours of travel. As soon as he entered the office of the base, he saw his father Jin Yuanji, who looked dejected, and several other executives of the company, who were also frowning or worried.

Jin Haorui quickly asked for details: "Dad, what happened?"

"Vice President, let me explain it!" Park Dachang quickly explained the general outline of the matter to Jin Haorui.

After listening to Park Dachang's explanation, Jin Haorui was also very shocked, and immediately cursed: "Damn Jiang Anye, that bastard, he swore that there was no problem with the technology. I shouldn't have believed his lies in the first place."

Park Dachang shook his head: "Things may not be that simple."

"What do you mean?" Jin Haorui frowned.

Pu Dachang solemnly spoke of his speculation: "Jiang Anye's death may be related to Hailufeng Company. After he returned from discussing cooperation with us, his farm caught fire and all the newly produced eel fry were destroyed by the fire. Not long after, he was suddenly electrocuted to death. These things are too coincidental."

"Does the Hailufeng company have such strength?" Jin Haorui was surprised and doubtful.

Another executive added: "It may not be Hailufeng that did it. Don't forget about Kagoshima Eel Company and Brown Company."

Jin Haorui also put the matter behind him, and then asked anxiously: "What should we do now? We have signed too many contracts. We have to supply 3 kilograms of glass eels this month. If we breach the contract, we need to pay 30% of the liquidated damages."

3 kilograms of glass eels, 3200 US dollars per kilogram, and a penalty of 30%, the compensation will be 2880 million US dollars.

This is only the first month of the contract.

For more than three months, Jin Haorui has been attracting customers in Europe and the United States, and the orders have been signed until June this year. The total contract amount involved has reached 4.1 million US dollars. If all of them are breached, he will have to pay compensation of 1.23 million US dollars.

Even if they go to court, it would be difficult for Xiyuan Group to win, after all, they are facing white companies, and there are a lot of white companies.

In addition to the over 500 million US dollars invested in the process of cultivating eel fry, the breeding base has been expanded by more than acres, a high-standard -acre indoor breeding farm, a large number of supporting facilities, and a large number of leaf eel-level eel fry have been purchased.

According to conservative estimates, their company will lose at least 4 million US dollars this time.

If the news gets out, the consequences will be even more serious.

Just when everyone was at a loss.

A middle-aged executive wearing glasses raised his glasses and said, "President, there is another way now. That is to purchase eel fry from Hailufeng Company and Kagoshima Eel Company, and then fulfill the customer's orders."

"This..." Jin Yuanji was stunned for a moment, and then a hint of surprise appeared in his eyes: "This is a good idea."

Jin Haorui still frowned: "But Hailufeng Company only produces 1.8 kilograms of eel fry per month, and the production capacity of Kagoshima eels is less than 2 kilograms. Our orders are nearly 3 kilograms per month."

"President, we can sell them together." The glasses executive came up with another bad idea.

"Mix and sell?" Jin Yuanji was delighted: "That's right, they can't test every batch, as long as we use glass eels without problems in the first few batches."

Other executives of Xiyuan Group also reacted.

Indeed, according to the free trade agreement between South Korea and Europe and the United States, the frequency of initial spot checks on live seafood exported to Europe and the United States will be higher, but as long as there are no problems with the first few batches, the frequency of spot checks on subsequent batches will drop a lot.

Moreover, Xiyuan Group has a relatively good corporate credit with European and American customs. Generally, when exporting seafood products to America, only the first three batches are spot-checked, and then spot-checked once a month.

In addition, the so-called random inspections conducted by the American Customs every month actually have traces to follow.

For example, during the peak trade season, namely March, April, October and November each year, the American Customs will increase its inspection efforts on goods. During the Thanksgiving and Christmas peak seasons, the inspection rate will also increase significantly.

In addition, since eel fry are live seafood, they can use their partners to get these goods through customs quickly.

Jin Yuanji took a deep breath and said, "As long as we can handle the orders for the next six months, we will stop this business on the grounds that the cost is too high."

Obviously he was scared and didn't dare to take any more risks.

At this time, Jin Haorui reminded: "Dad, Hailufeng Company and Kagoshima Eel Company may find out about our actions. If they report us, we may be in a passive position."

“…” Jin Yuanji fell silent again.

Other company executives have also thought about this problem.

After all, from Xihai Company to Jiang Anye's death, it all revealed that Hailufeng Company was not easy to mess with. The cooperation between Jiang Anye and Xiyuan Group was no secret within Anye Company.

This put Jin Yuanji in a dilemma.

If they don't participate in the fraud, they won't be able to recover their costs and may even lose 200 million US dollars. This 200 million US dollars is almost their company's net profit for one and a half years. Jin Yuanji is obviously unwilling to accept this.

The glasses executive spoke again: "Vice President, if we don't mix the goods, there will be a shortage of at least 20,000 kilograms this month. Where can we find so many glass eels?"

Yes! The others also looked helpless.

If anyone is to blame, blame the Hao Rui and his son at Jinyuan Fund for being too greedy. If the number of orders signed was smaller, they could have easily endured the loss of tens of millions of US dollars and bought glass eels from Hailufeng Company and Kagoshima Eel Company and sold them under their own brand names.

Of course, these executives are not much better than Jin Yuanji and his son. After all, they also agreed to large-scale production and swallow up Jiang Anye's share.

Faced with huge losses, Jin Yuanji was still unwilling to give up: "We will continue to produce eel fry, and then use our branch in Luzon to open a shell company to ship the eel fry. We will first purchase a batch of eel fry through other channels and send them to customers, and then the Luzon shell company will mix them with the fry for shipment. Even if Hailufeng Company, Kagoshima Eel Company and Brown Company report us, they will report us, and the shell company can hide for a while."

"Dad! Your method is good!" Jin Haorui's face regained some color. "And if there is a problem with the goods of the shell company, we can completely shirk responsibility. As long as the contract is executed, we will stop."

"The president is wise!"

"As expected of you, you're the president!"

Several executives quickly flattered him.

"Okay, let's take action immediately." Jin Yuanji looked at his son and said, "Haorui, when you go to Europe and the United States again, communicate with our customers and tell them that considering that glass eels are alive, it is inconvenient for them to stay at the airport for too long. Ask them to communicate with the local customs to ensure that they can pass through customs quickly."

"Okay." Jin Haorui nodded.

"Dachang, you continue to organize production, but you must control the output in the later stages."

Park Dae-chang quickly replied, “No problem, President.”

Jin Yuanji looked at the glasses executive who had just offered advice and said, "Li Xin, go to the Luzon branch and secretly set up a shell company."

"Leave it to me! President Yuanji!" Li Lixin bowed solemnly.

Jin Yuanji said seriously: "Everyone, whether the company can get through this stage depends on your efforts."

"Yes! We will live up to the president's trust." A group of executives quickly stood up and expressed their opinions.

At this moment, Jin Haorui suddenly remembered something, and his face suddenly changed: "Dad, you must immediately have someone call back Han Yingze and others from the technical department. Don't let them talk nonsense outside, otherwise our efforts will be in vain."

"Yes, yes!" Park Dachang also broke out in a cold sweat.

Jin Yuanji wiped the sweat off his forehead and hurriedly told the head of the HR department: "An Zhen, go find Han Yingze and the others immediately, call them back to the company, and give them money to appease them. Even if you want to deal with them, you have to wait half a year."

"Yes, President!" Jin Anzhen, head of the human resources department, nodded.
