Paul Allen arrived at Shenzhen. Although he did not have a good rest on board the flight, he went straight to Aiwa’s Little Tyrant after touchdown. He is eager to look at Feng Yu’s disappointed face, and also wants to humiliate him.
“Dear Feng, it’s been a while since we met.” Paul Allen greeted Feng Yu enthusiastically.
It’s been a while? We had met in Microsoft not long ago. Am I very familiar with you?! Why are you acting so close to me?!
Feng Yu shook Paul Allen’s hand and introduced the rest of the people there. “Kirilenko, the wealthiest man in Russia. Oh… He is also the Boss of an NBA team. I think you two should get to know each other.”
Kirilenko is big-sized, and he towered over Paul Allen. Without saying anything, he stared down at Paul Allen with a disdain look in his eyes, which made Paul mad.
I am wealthier than you, and my team is stronger! Your team had only won once, and what’s there to be proud of?!
“This is Fu Guangzheng, a shareholder of Aiwa’s Little Tyrant.”
Paul Allen looks at Fu Guangzheng from head to toe. Before coming, he had done his homework. Fu Guangzheng is said to be very close to Feng Yu and is the successor of a Hong Kong’s influential family. He is very capable, but compared to Paul Allen, he is nothing.
“Hi, Mr. Allen.”
“This is Fu Guangwei. Mr. Fu Guangzheng’s younger cousin and is also my friend and business partner.”
Paul Allen took a glance at Fu Guangwei. He had not heard of this person and should be someone unimportant.
“This is Duan Yongping. The founder of Aiwa’s Little Tyrant, and is also the CEO of the company.”
“Nice to meet you, Mr. Duan.” Paul Allen is polite to Duan Yongping, as he wants to pull him over to Microsoft’s side, for them to gain control over the company.
“Old Duan, bring Paul around the factory.”
Paul Allen looks at Kirilenko and Fu Guangwei before turning to Feng Yu. “Feng, why are they allowed inside the factory?”
“Kirilenko will be in charge of our Gbox’s sales in Europe, and Fu Guangwei is in charge of Southeast Asia’s sales. They are our partners, and there are no problems with them entering the factory.”
Paul Allen kept quiet and did not say anything else. Since they are partners, he can’t stop them. But these partners must be arranged by Feng Yu, as he had not heard about them previously. Hmph! Feng Yu is making all the decisions without consulting Microsoft!
During the tour around the factory, Paul Allen made a few suggestions and keeps finding fault. But Duan Yongping replied before Feng Yu can say anything.
Not only Duan Yongping explained why the factory is operating this way, but he also complained to Paul Allen that the developers from Microsoft are unprofessional. They had been skiving during work, or else, the product would have been developed earlier.
Paul Allen could not retort, as he knows how Microsoft staff well. They cannot be compared to the hardworking Chinese.
The tour ended around noon, and Duan Yongping suggests. “It’s time for lunch. I had arranged the most iconic local Chinese cuisine, and I guarantee Mr. Allen has never tried before.”
Paul Allen held his head high and said proudly. “I had tried Chinese food in the US. Many Chinese had come to the US to open restaurants. Maybe the Chinese only know how to open restaurants, and I have been there countless times. The food is not terrific.”
What iconic dishes can China have? Other than the cooking methods used when cooking vegetables, fish, meat, etc. what else can they do?
Why are the expressions on these few people so weird? Paul Allen turns to his translator, and his translator also does not understand what Duan Yongping meant by iconic local cuisine.
All of them boarded two Songjiang latest Red Star vehicles and drove towards the outskirts of Shenzhen.
The translator frowned, as he knows there is no famous restaurant in the outskirts. Could it be some local restaurant?
When they arrived at the restaurant, the translator’s face changed.
Paul Allen did not notice anything amiss. He had a disdainful expression on his face as he looks at the dirt road.
Look how backward China is. They don’t even have proper roads.
After entering the restaurant’s private dining room, Paul Allen is still pleased with the cleanliness and air conditioner.
Duan Yongping looked at the female Boss of the restaurant and said. “Everyone is here. You can serve the dishes.”
Paul Allen looked at the utensils on the table and was slightly embarrassed. There were no fork and knives, and only chopsticks. He does not know how to use chopsticks, but at least there are spoons.
Four waiters entered with a big glass jar each. The jars contained different alcohol and were placed on a shelf by the wall.
Paul Allen looks at the glass jar, and his face changed.
There is a snake in that jar!!!
What’s are those things in the jar next to it?! It looks like some sort of bugs with many legs!
In another jar, Paul Allen couldn’t even tell what was inside. The jars looked like some specimen in formalin containers. What are they going to do with these jars? Are these for drinking?
The last jar looks like there is black sesame inside. Yes. I will drink that jar later.
“Paul, these are medical wine. I didn’t manage to collect more, or else I can let you have more choice.” Feng Yu smiles. “Oh, which do you prefer? These wines have different medical effects.”
Paul Allen points to that “Black Sesame” jar. “I will drink this.”
“Don’t you want to try the others?” Feng Yu saw Paul Allen shaking his head and said disappointingly. “Such a pity. These wine have very strong medical properties.”
Duan Yongping pointed to the centipede wine and said. “Give me a glass of that.”
Fu Guangzheng and Fu Guangwei thought for a second and chose the snake wine. Kirilenko picks that ‘three penises’ wine, and the three penises are the dog penis, deer penis, and donkey penis. Feng Yu chose the same ‘black sesame’ wine like Paul Allen.
Paul Allen’s translator thought for a while and chose the three penises wine. This is a good tonic for men, and it’s rare!
After the wine is poured, Paul Allen looks at the glass in front of him and don’t feel like picking it up.
Those black dots are not black sesame! Those are black ants!
“Feng, can this wine safe to drink?” Paul Allen felt Feng Yu was pulling a prank on him.
Feng Yu picked up his glass and took a sip before chewing on the black ants.
“It’s drinkable, and there are many expensive Chinese medicines added in it. This is a good tonic for men’s vigor and dispels rheumatism. Try it.”
The corner of Paul Allen’s lips twitched. Feng Yu really drank it, and even chewed on the ants!
“I will drink it after the dishes are served.”
Wait for the dishes? Feng Yu smiles. Fine. Let’s see if you still dare to drink after the food is served!
