Siheyuan: Since 51

The next day, early morning.

Lin Zhiyuan arrived at the Special Economic Bureau early. As soon as he stepped into the office, Pan Fei's excited voice was heard.

"Director Lin, lanterns, we have lanterns at home too..."

Lin Zhiyuan cursed with a smile on his face.

"Be careful, it's just a lantern. In a few years, the sky might be full of them."

Xu Damao grinned widely, unable to hide his excitement.

"Brother Zhiyuan, you are too calm, aren't you? The People's Daily said that this is of far-reaching significance. It not only marks that the sky rocket technology is in the leading position, but also marks that it is the third company to have lantern technology..."

Lin Zhiyuan smiled and shook his head.

"Okay, we should be happy. Let's tell Zhuzi to add extra food at noon to celebrate."

After saying that, he walked to the desk, picked up the newspaper, glanced at it, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up.

"Get ready, Lucian will be here soon."

The two looked at each other, and Xu Damao turned and ran away.

"I'll go get a radio so he can broaden his horizons and listen to the sounds from outer space."

Pan Fei was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.

"Okay, I'll go too. Damao, it has to be you. Lucian will probably be so angry that he will vomit blood."

Watching the two people leave excitedly, Lin Zhiyuan shook his head helplessly.

Even though you're just showing off, I still want to take advantage of you. You two guys are so annoying.

……

Gallic Chicken House.

After finishing his breakfast, Lucian left in high spirits and headed straight for the Special Economics Bureau.

Along the way, outside the car window, the pedestrians on both sides of the road were all in high spirits. I was surprised and thought about it for a while, but still didn't understand, so I asked with a smile.

"Thomas, what do you think the rabbits are so happy about? Could it be that they are celebrating for us by lighting lanterns?"

As a representative, reading local newspapers is part of the job.

Just wanting to show off in front of Lin Zhiyuan, Lucian asked Thomas to read the key points to him in the car.

At this moment, Thomas was staring at the People's Daily in his hand, lost in thought.

After several seconds, he let out a long sigh.

"The rabbit released the lantern yesterday."

Lucian didn't hear clearly, so he looked sideways, frowned, and asked, "What did you say?"

Thomas pursed his lips and repeated himself.

"I said, the rabbit put up the lanterns yesterday, earlier than us."

Lucian's eyes widened and he raised his voice unconsciously.

"What are you talking about? A rabbit setting off a lantern, how is that possible?"

Thomas shrugged and spread his hands, saying, "That's the truth."

Lucian raised his right hand, rubbed his cheek fiercely, and muttered to himself.

"Oh, God, this is absolutely not true. It should be me who should be taking advantage of the situation and holding a favorable position to negotiate with Lin Zhiyuan about next year's purchases. Why is it like this..."

Seeing that they were getting closer and closer to the Special Economics Bureau, Thomas couldn't help but ask, "We're almost there, are we still going?"

Lucian came back to his senses and took a long breath, feeling lost and helpless. "Go, I must go. Just chat, don't talk about business."

……

After a while, everyone walked into Lin Zhiyuan's office.

A melodious song came to his ears. Lucian had heard it before and understood it. It was "The East is Red".

Greeted, smoked cigarettes, and sat down.

The sound of the radio turns into singing of the motherland.

Lucian pretended to be shocked and spoke with a smile.

"Mr. Lin, your propaganda work is really admirable. The radio station is actually playing patriotic songs on a loop."

"Mr. Lucian, to be honest with you, this is not a radio station, but a lantern."

Lin Zhiyuan smiled brightly, explained, and then asked with a smile.

"Didn't you read today's People's Daily?"

After saying that, he sighed again.

"Unfortunately, our technology is immature and the lantern can only play ten songs in a loop."

Lucian was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses after a few seconds, his eyes widened, and he couldn't help cursing in his heart.

Are you talking human language?

Lantern, what does it represent? Don’t you know?

……

After a long while, he smiled awkwardly and said, "I came in a hurry, so I haven't seen it yet."

After saying that, he forced out an unnatural smile.

"The rabbit successfully released the lantern, which shows that his skills and abilities are ahead of the rest of the village. On behalf of the Gallic rooster, I would like to express my congratulations to you and the rabbit."

Lin Zhiyuan accepted it all and pretended to be polite.

"Thank you very much. It's really not worth mentioning. Today, the lanterns released by Gallic Rooster and John Bull are definitely better."

Others may not know the specific situation, but how could Lucian not know?

The lanterns we released together may be a bit of an exaggeration to call them lumps of iron, but they were also experiments, just to explore signal reception. There was no song, just a sound.

Faced with Lin Zhiyuan's secret boasting, he decisively changed the subject.

"Mr. Lin, why did you ask me to come here this time?"

Lin Zhiyuan's mouth curled up slightly. He couldn't help it? But, that's fine. Taking advantage of others is the real thing.

"It's nothing serious. After all, we were the first to cooperate on cashmere products, so I have to tell you some news first."

“Cashmere products?” Lucian raised his eyebrows and then asked, “What news?”

Lin Zhiyuan said nonchalantly, "The Mao Xiong wants to reserve next year's production."

Hearing this, Lucian was stunned.

Didn’t we agree to lower the price together next year?

What the hell is Chilvo doing?

Damn, the Russian bear is really untrustworthy.

Since you want to eat alone, don't blame me...

A sneer flashed across Lucian's lips.

"Mr. Lin, have you signed the contract?"

Lin Zhiyuan spread his hands and shook his head.

"No, you know Chervo has gone home. Solovikov can't make the decision. He just communicated with me in advance."

Lucian secretly thought that this was a close call, and immediately blurted out: "It's just a verbal wish, it doesn't count, let's talk about it in detail."

Lin Zhiyuan immediately waved his hand and refused.

"No, no, no, I am a trustworthy person. Even if I promise verbally, I will keep it."

Keep your word?

What credibility is there between companies?

What kind of bullshit principles does this Lin Zhiyuan adhere to?

Lucian muttered a few words and tried to persuade him kindly.

"Mr. Lin, if Mao Xiong breaks the contract, what will you do with the hundreds of millions of finished products? Besides, it doesn't matter who you sell them to."

Lin Zhiyuan's attitude was very firm.

"It doesn't matter if Mao Xiong breaks the contract. It will just meet the needs of the family."

After that, he added, "Keeping promises is a principle. Rabbit has a foothold in the whole village and cannot do two-faced things."

……

Lu Xian spoke earnestly and until his mouth was dry, but Lin Zhiyuan remained unmoved.

In the end, we came with excitement but left disappointed.

At noon, the Special Economic Bureau added extra dishes to celebrate the lantern-releasing event.

Sha Zhu’s cooking skills are really good, and everyone in the Special Economic Bureau was very satisfied with the meal.

After dinner, office.

Lin Zhiyuan sat on the sofa, closed his eyes and sorted out his plans.

Killing three warriors with two peaches is definitely a good plan, but as the first user, Duke Jing of Qi ended up with nothing.

It can be seen that no matter how good a strategy is, it will not achieve the expected result if it is used improperly.

After smoking three cigarettes, Lin Zhiyuan opened his eyes and drank a sip of tea.

Pan Fei was very observant. He picked up the thermos to add water and asked the questions in his mind.

"Director Lin, I don't quite understand. Just like Lucian said, it doesn't matter who you sell it to. Besides, the Russian bear is not reliable, and Solovikov is just a suggestion..."
