Chapter 203 Gambling
ps: I'm asking for subscription support for the last time today!
In fact, if Smith agrees to replace the new grape seedlings, the easiest way is to plant the first generation of grape seedlings that have been influenced by time and space. It is far beyond the growth rate of normal varieties. Even if the other party’s decision cannot be changed, it is enough to explain some problems.
But the problem is, it is really eye-catching if you do this. Think about it, March has just entered the stage of loosening the soil, and the grape seedlings that have passed the winter have not even started to grow. However, Li Anran’s winery is so good that it can grow to two or three months in just half a month. It would be strange if he doesn’t attract attention in the wine production areas of Napa.
Not to mention that in a month, this first-generation time-space grape variety can enter the flowering and fruiting period and in about a month, it can enter the maturity period. Not to mention the ripe grape variety, just this speed is enough to make Li Anran's winery the focus of attention in the industry.
Although the wine origin of Napa is usually peaceful and quiet. But in fact, in order to make your own wine sell better, be more popular and more famous, the entire wine industry is still full of open and secret struggles and intrigues.
It is precisely because of this that Li Anran did not take out the first generation of grape seedlings affected by time and space travel. Instead, he spent a lot of effort in the time and space of the Tang Dynasty and cultivated a third-generation product whose growth speed and quality were far superior to the original, but would not be too exaggerated, and then he took it to the winery for replacement.
What surprised Li Anran was that Smith insisted not to replace the grape varieties originally grown in the winery during this period. Although he was kind-hearted, he was the boss after all. Under normal circumstances, the boss had already said that he would not pursue the relevant consequences, so the subordinates should naturally carry out the matter.
Moreover, when facing the opposition raised by the other party several times, he did not make any injustice and suppression to this professional who was indeed considering the winery. In Li Anran's opinion, it is already rare to be able to do this by himself. In fact, you, as a subordinate, even if you are not grateful, you will not be stupid enough to resist.
But Smith was so good that he still didn't pay enough attention to his advice. A certain family still insisted on the act of laymen that could bring devastating blow to the winery. He was silent for a while, and then made a shocking request in front of the few people in the car.
"Boss, as a person who has worked hard in the wine industry for so many years, I really can't accept this kind of joking about the future of the winery. Since you can't accept my advice, please allow me to quit!" Smith said firmly regardless of the eyes of his colleague who was driving the car.
"Resign?" Li Anran, who had never expected that things would come to this point, looked at Li Anran, who seemed to be joking with him no matter how hard he looked, and even looked at the time. After confirming that today was not April Fool's Day, he asked in confusion: "Smith, is it because I don't accept your advice that you want to quit?"
"Yes, Boss." Smith said, nodding.
In fact, for Smith, how could he not know that his boss from the mysterious ancient country of the East is very generous. This is obvious from the fact that the other party took over the winery, not only wasn't fired, but each person also added 10 to 30% of his salary according to the different positions.
What's more, this boss prefers drinking and using wine as gifts, and letting the wine stored in the wine cellar consume a lot in a short period of time, he will not interfere in the operation of the winery on weekdays, and there is no intention of pretending to understand. This is even more important for professionals like Smith than giving himself a salary increase.
But I never expected that this behavior of not interfering in the operation of the winery has not been persisted for even a year. Moreover, what annoyed Smith the most was that this season is not a good time to replace grape seedlings. Not to mention, although the procedures for these grape seedlings are complete, they still belong to varieties with "unknown origin" if you really want to pursue them.
If it were someone else, it would be different 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 hold the relevant responsibility for this matter. If there was a problem, he would not blame him. Moreover, the most important thing is that there is still a lot of wine in the wine cellar, and even if he has been compensated for the whole year, it will not be damaged.
But for Smith, who has been struggling in the wine industry all his life, this behavior is a completely irresponsible manifestation. When he thinks that he will work under such a boss in the future, he uses domestic adjectives in terms of personality. Smith, who is a donkey temper, retreats and plans to be invisible.
Of course, this behavior is not because of fear of taking responsibility, so I want to quickly escape from others to avoid getting into trouble. It is a kind of almost sorrow that I am more heartbroken than death, and I don’t want to see the winery that I have been fighting for for a long time. It is completely helpless because of someone’s layman’s behavior.
After being stunned, Li Anran, who came to his senses, recalled the impression he had given him, and what the previous winery owner told him specifically, not that he could not feel the other party’s true thoughts. However, the origin of his new variety of grape seedlings was indeed impossible to explain clearly. Thinking of this, he couldn’t help but regret his arrangement this time.
"Smith, I hope you don't resign easily because of different opinions at work. You should be clear that I am not the kind of person who likes to interfere in the operation of the winery. This time, the reason for this arrangement is naturally my plan. 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 had no frustrating thoughts. Even as a boss, he would inevitably feel unhappy about the employee's voluntary resignation, but when he thought that the other party did this out of kindness to the winery, it was really hard to lose his temper because of this matter.
"Boss, I know you are not a person who likes to interfere in the operation of the winery, otherwise you won't have to wait until today. But I really can't figure out why you do this. Even if you want to test new varieties, you can plant them on a small scale first. After confirming all aspects of the situation, it will not be too late to replace them on a large scale."
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 person who liked to enjoy life and did not like to interfere in business. However, he still could not tolerate such a devastating blow for his career that was about to devote his life.
"Okay, since you are so persistent, you can pause the matter of replacing grape seedlings. However, I have a request." Seeing that he had to force it, Li Anran, who had to lose the best talent in front of him, had to give in one step. However, he did not intend to let the other party go.
"Ok, Boss, as long as you don't joke about the future of the winery, we can discuss other things." Seeing that his persistence finally gained something, Smith's originally serious face suddenly showed a look of joy.
"My request is very simple. Isn't there 10% of the grape seedlings replaced this time? Then let's change so many of them first, and the rest will remain intact. But if the grape seedlings I got are better than the varieties planted in the winery in all aspects, then I hope you can promise to work in another winery of mine for two years!" Li Anran, who was worried about not enough staff, began to dig a tunnel.
"No problem, but I hope that if the grape seedlings replaced this time are not as good as Boss you said, then the 20% of the varieties I bought will need to be replanted, and I hope Boss will no longer do such behaviors that will affect the development of the winery in the future." I didn't know that I was about to be around, but it should be Smith, who had already fallen into the pit, said.
"No problem, just think it's a bet, OK?" Li Anran, who saw that his prey had fallen into the pit and he was sure to win but not lose, smiled and stretched out his right hand and said.
