Chapter 203 The Bet
ps: Today’s last time I ask for subscription support!
In fact, the easiest way to get Smith to agree to replace the grape seedlings is to plant the first-generation grape seedlings that have been affected by time travel. The growth rate is far faster than that of normal varieties. Even if the other party's decision cannot be changed,
It is enough to explain some problems.
But the problem is that doing this is really eye-catching. Think about it, March has just entered the soil loosening stage, and the grape seedlings that have passed the winter have not even begun to grow, and Li Anran’s winery has arrived.
Well, in just half a month, it can grow to the level that other people can grow in two or three months. It’s strange that it didn’t attract attention in a wine-producing area like Napa.
Not to mention that in one month, this first-generation time-traveling grape variety will enter the flowering and fruiting stage, and in about another month it will enter the maturity stage. Not to mention the mature grape variety, just this
The speed of serving is enough to make Li Anran's winery the focus of attention in the industry.
Don't look at wine-producing areas like Napa, which usually look peaceful and quiet. But in fact, in order to make their own wines more popular, more popular, and more famous, the entire wine industry is still full of people.
It involves overt and covert fighting and intrigues.
It was precisely because of this consideration that Li Anran did not take out the first generation of grape seedlings affected by time and space travel, but spent a lot of effort in the Tang Dynasty to cultivate a batch of grape seedlings.
The speed and quality of the third-generation product must be far superior to the original product, but not too exaggerated, and then taken to the winery for replacement.
What surprised Li Anran was that Smith insisted not to change the grape varieties originally planted in the winery during this period. Although he had good intentions, he was the boss after all. Under normal circumstances, the boss had already said that he would not pursue the matter.
Regarding the related consequences, the subordinates should naturally carry out the matter.
Moreover, in the face of several objections raised by the other party, he did not do even the slightest injustice or suppression to this professional who was really thinking about the winery. In Li Anran's view, he can do this.
Yes, it is already very rare. Normally, as a subordinate, even if you are not grateful, you will not be stupid enough to resist.
But this Smith was fine. After seeing that his suggestions were still not taken seriously enough, and that a certain family still insisted on the unprofessional behavior that could bring devastating blow to the winery, he just remained silent for a while.
Then, in front of several people in the car, he made a shocking request.
"Boss, as someone who has worked hard in the wine industry for so many years, I really can't accept such a move that makes fun of the future of the winery. Since you can't accept my suggestion, then please allow me to resign!" Regardless.
Smith said firmly as his colleague who was driving kept looking at him.
"Resign?" Li Anran, who had never expected that things would reach this point, looked at Li Anran who didn't seem to be joking with him, and even checked the time. After confirming that today was not April Fools' Day, he was puzzled.
He asked: "Smith, do you want to resign just because I don't accept your suggestion?"
"Yes, boss." Smith said, nodding.
In fact, for Smith, how could he not know that his boss, who comes from the mysterious ancient Eastern country, is very generous. In this regard, after the other party took over the winery, not only was no one fired, but everyone was also promoted according to their position.
The difference can be seen in the salary increase of 10% to 30% respectively.
What's more, apart from the fact that this boss likes drinking and taking wine as gifts, which consumes a lot of the wine in the wine cellar in a short period of time, he usually doesn't interfere in the operation of the winery at all.
Pretending to understand if you don't understand at all. For professionals like Smith, this is even more important than giving yourself a salary increase.
But he never expected that this kind of non-interference in the operation of the winery would not last even for a year. Moreover, what annoyed Smith the most was that this season was not a good time to replace grape seedlings. Not to mention, these
Although the procedures for grape seedlings are complete, if we really want to investigate, they still belong to varieties of "unknown origin".
If it were anyone else, it wouldn't matter whether these grape seedlings would affect the winery's business. Anyway, the owner of the winery is Li Anran, and he also said that he would not be held responsible for this matter. If it really happened
You can't blame yourself for the problem. Moreover, the most important thing is that there is still a lot of wine in the wine cellar. Even if you lose it for a whole year, it won't hurt your muscles and bones.
But for Smith, who has struggled in the wine industry all his life, this behavior is completely irresponsible. When he thinks about having to work under such a boss in the future, he uses domestic adjectives for his personality.
, Smith, who has a donkey temperament, backed down and planned to stay out of sight.
Of course, this kind of behavior is not because I am afraid of taking responsibility so I want to avoid getting into trouble quickly, but it is a kind of grief that is almost too sad and I don’t want to see the winery that I have worked hard for for a long time.
, just because of someone’s unprofessional behavior, it’s a situation where you are completely forced to do nothing.
After being stunned, Li Anran came back to his senses and recalled the impression the person in front of him had made on him, as well as what the previous winery owner specifically told him. It was not that he couldn't feel the other person's true thoughts. It's just that his new variety of grapes
There is really no way to explain Miao's origin clearly. Thinking of this, I can't help but regret my arrangement this time.
"Smith, I hope you will not resign easily because of different opinions at work. You should know that I am not the kind of person who likes to interfere randomly in the operation of the winery. The reason for this arrangement this time is naturally my intention.
It's just that I can't explain this plan for the time being. I hope you can give me enough trust instead of a resignation letter."
After saying this, Li Anran didn't have any aggrieved thoughts. Even as a boss, he would inevitably feel unhappy when an employee offered to resign, but when he thought about it, the other party also did so out of good intentions for the winery.
Doing this makes it really difficult to lose your temper over this matter.
"Boss, I know you are not a person who likes to meddle in the operation of the winery. Otherwise, there is no need to wait until today. But I really can't figure out why you would do this. Even if you want to test new varieties, you can always start on a small scale.
Planting, after confirming all aspects of the situation, it is not too late to make large-scale replacements."
After being together for so long, Smith also knew very well that the boss in front of him was not only generous, but also a character who really liked to enjoy life and did not like to get involved in business. But for the career that he was about to devote his life to, he still could not tolerate such a devastating blow.
.
"Okay, since you are so insistent, then the matter of replacing the grape seedlings can be suspended for now. However, I have a request." Li Anran, who saw that if he continued to insist, the top talent in front of him would be lost, he had to give in.
.However, he did not intend to let the other party go.
"Okay, boss, as long as you don't make fun of the future of the winery, we can easily discuss other matters." Seeing that his persistence had finally paid off, Smith's originally serious face suddenly showed a look of joy.
.
"My request is very simple. Isn't 10% of the grape seedlings replaced this time? Then replace this much first, and the rest will remain intact. But if the grape seedlings I get are good in all aspects,
All are better than the varieties grown in the winery, then I hope you can agree to work in my other winery for two years!" Li Anran, who was worried about the lack of manpower, began to dig tunnels.
"No problem, but I hope that if the grape seedlings replaced this time are not as good as the boss said, then the 20% of the replaced ones need to be replanted with the varieties I purchased, and I hope the boss will
Don't do this kind of behavior that will affect the development of the winery anymore." Smith, who had no idea that he was about to fall into the trap, no, it should be him who had already fallen into the trap, said.
"No problem, just treat this as a bet, okay?" Seeing that his prey had fallen into the pit, Li Anran, who was sure of winning, smiled and stretched out his right hand and said.
