Chapter 2: Speculation
Before Lin Dong could finish speaking, Wang Quan proactively interrupted him
In a previous life, Lin Dong also spoke such words and took concrete actions to support Wang Quan
Lin Dong tilted his head sharply after hearing this, staring at Wang Quan for several seconds, somewhat in disbelief
Kozumi, do you need something from me
Lin Dong understood Wang Quan's character, and upon suddenly hearing these words, he thought that Wang Quan had been provoked. His expression also became tense, and he quietly asked, "Have you encountered something? Tell me, if it concerns money, I can help you."
Brother, I am ready to take action directly
Lin Dong furrowed his brows, feeling somewhat irritated. Although this young man lacks any remarkable qualities, he has always been down-to-earth in his dealings with others. Why is he acting so restlessly now?
Lin Dong looked at Wang Quan with confusion, not interrupting.
I do not know what that property owner does, I only vaguely heard him mention something about the swine fever epidemic and a complete lockdown
A phone call lasted a full hour, until the phone became hot. Wang Quan arranged a time with Uncle Yang before finally hanging up. After taking a few sips of water and resting for a moment, he picked up his phone to dial again
No need, just tell me which venue you are at, and I will come find you. I am not in a hurry
Wang Quan chuckled and continued, "Brother, you can help me for a moment, but you cannot help me for a lifetime"
Lin Dong indeed did not take the swine fever seriously. Originally indifferent, he felt a jolt in his heart upon hearing this. Yes, there is no need for such strict measures for ordinary swine fever
Brother, don't misunderstand me, I am not someone who is unaware of the gravity of the situation. I dare to say this because I have confidence. " Wang Quan handed Lin Dong a cigarette and continued, "If you don't believe me, let's go to your workshop, and you can see what my skills are like.
Dong Ge, where are you now? I would like to come over and discuss something with you
Wang Quan chuckled and did not answer, but instead asked: "Brother, do you now believe what I said?"
Wang Quan knew that Lin Dong had not taken it to heart. Common swine fever indeed occurs year-round and can be prevented and treated with medication, but African swine fever is not the same.
Lin Dong was taken aback and coldly said: "Doing business is not as simple as you think. Familiarity with the product is merely basic knowledge; it is a different matter from actually conducting business. If you truly want to enter this industry, I advise you to follow me for a few months first"
You have never raised pigs, yet you know that swine fever is not terrifying. Do you think that ordinary swine fever can reach the level of a complete lockdown?
On this night, more than twenty pieces of information appeared in Wang Quan's notebook, of which thirteen were marked as usable
Whenever he sees a product, Wang Quan proactively explains the operating procedures, even clarifying some minor operations that are not typically discussed. He occasionally glances at Lin Dong, observing the changes in Lin Dong's expressions, which boosts Wang Quan's confidence further.
After a moment of contemplation, he said aloud: "Alright, you can come. Start with six months, and once you are familiar, you can choose to go solo if you wish, or continue working with me."
Having just finished inspecting the production line, Lin Dong's phone rang. Glancing at the number, Lin Dong felt somewhat puzzled. His cousin, who was a very nice person, had no faults in either work or character. The only thing Lin Dong did not like was his lack of ambition and drive. However, this was someone else's approach to life, and it was not for him to impose his views, as a simple life also meant fewer troubles.
I can encounter various situations, but I suddenly realized that I do not want to live in a daze any longer; I want to accomplish something
Wang Quan, with a serious demeanor, said, "Brother, I want to make money."
I have more than twenty employees under my supervision, with monthly expenses exceeding one hundred thousand. Adding one more person makes no difference at all, especially since he is my own brother; I can certainly trust him more than others.
Lin Dong's expression remained unchanged as he continued, "African swine fever is quite normal; it occurs every year and is not a big deal. With food safety regulations being so strict now, no one dares to buy or sell sick pigs."
After the pig's heart is cut out, it is necessary to quickly expel the residual blood from the atrium and spread it out to pre-cool. Of course, some people do not expel it completely, and once the residual blood coagulates, it can still be weighed.
At this time, Lin Dong was contracting three small venues in the county town below. Combined, these three venues could slaughter around 1,000 pigs a day. After doing business in Sanhui for several years and accumulating connections, Lin Dong decided to go out on his own. He now employs over twenty staff members, and his business is stable with considerable profits
Wang Quan, who is well acquainted with Uncle Yang's temperament, easily engages in conversation with him, even causing Uncle Yang to suspect that a familiar person is using someone else's phone to deceive him.
As for his own brother, even though he was somewhat impetuous, Lin Dong could not get angry with him. Moreover, at this moment, Wang Quan displayed an air of confidence, which left Lin Dong somewhat uncertain. After listening, he directly stood up and led Wang Quan towards the workshop
Brother, the focus is not on the swine fever, but rather on the comprehensive lockdown
After greeting the security guard at the entrance, I headed towards Lin Dong's office
Pig liver must be immediately cut out after slaughtering, rinsed with water to remove surface blood, and then hung to cool. During this process, it is necessary to select the marbled liver and the dark liver
Having opened the car door, Lin Dong hesitated for a moment, then reported his location, feeling somewhat perplexed, before walking back to the office
Indeed, based on the content of his phone call, I suspect that a major epidemic has likely erupted
Forty minutes later, Wang Quan appeared at the entrance of the slaughterhouse
As he pushed open the door, a rush of cool air greeted him, causing Wang Quan to involuntarily let out a comfortable hum
Wang Quan knew that Lin Dong had his best interests at heart, but he could not tell Lin Dong that he had been reborn. After hesitating for a moment, he finally found a reason.
Lin Dong is ten years older than Wang Quan. Although the two do not meet often, their relationship is quite harmonious, and their conversation is naturally more casual. He handed a glass of ice water to Wang Quan, lit a cigarette, and they sat down side by side
... ...
Could it be that ... ...
As he stepped out of the workshop, Lin Dong glanced at Wang Quan a few times and finally couldn't help but ask, "Where did you learn all this? Even employees with six months of experience might not know as much as you do."
The venue where Lin Dong was located was over thirty kilometers away from the city center. He also knew that Wang Quan had just finished work at that moment. Thinking that Wang Quan must have urgent matters to discuss with him, he casually said, "I am at the venue, where are you? I will come to find you"
What brings you here on such a hot day, having come such a long way to find me
In the security room, lively conversations and laughter abound
Looking at Wang Quan's expression, it did not seem like a joke, and Lin Dong also became serious.
Wang Quan finished his drink in one gulp, feeling instantly refreshed. After lighting a cigarette, he leisurely said, "Brother, I want to do what you do."
While speaking, Wang Quan kept an eye on Lin Dong, noticing his furrowed brows, and guessed his thoughts.
Seeing Lin Dong's expression, Wang Quan felt a surge of warmth in his heart; he knew that Lin Dong was not lying
As they spoke, the two returned to the office
At this moment, Wang Quan shook his head after listening.
While speaking, he quickly walked towards his car, knowing that Wang Quan did not have a car and that taking a ride would certainly not be as fast as driving there himself
In the early morning, the captain brought over a stranger, and after a brief handover, Wang Quan officially resigned
Do not look at me differently, I am serious
Brother, a few nights ago, I heard a homeowner making a phone call
The security room is located outdoors, bustling with people coming and going
