Feng Haidong and his brother-in-law stayed in the city where the winery was located for two more days.

Feng Haidong's brother-in-law, Lu Yaobin, did not disappoint him.

On the morning of the third day, Lu Yaobin arrived with the prepared contract.

Feng Haidong, along with his brother-in-law and brother-in-law, went to the winery to find Fan Mingqiang.

With Fan Mingqiang's introduction, Feng Haidong and his team successfully met with the winery's director, and then everything fell into place. Feng Haidong and his team signed an agency distribution contract with the winery.

After signing the contract, Feng Haidong, along with his brother-in-law and brother-in-law, invited Fan Mingqiang to dinner again that evening.

Furthermore, at the dinner table, Feng Haidong gave Fan Mingqiang some special favors.

On the fourth day, Feng Haidong asked his brother-in-law, Lu Yaobin, to take the contract back with him.

"Third brother, remember this: after you take this contract back, you must ask your parents to go with you to Ding Huaixiao's house. Make sure your parents go with you. Then you can talk to Ding Huaixiao as I told you."

Lu Yaobin was still a little confused: "Brother-in-law, we've already got the agency and distribution contract, do we really need to go see Ding Huaixiao again? And do we need to make Mom and Dad go to his house?"

Feng Haidong said, "Are you stupid? Do you really think Ding Huaixiao won't have any thoughts if we just pass things around? Ding Huaixiao takes such good care of your sister and you, do you really think he can tolerate anything? We've essentially snatched the deal this time, so we definitely need Mom and Dad to step in and mediate."

Lu Yaobin said, "If Mom and Dad step in, Ding Huaixiao won't turn against us?"

Feng Haidong said with a smile, "Actually, Ding Huaixiao wouldn't have turned against you even if you hadn't invited your parents, but he would still feel uncomfortable. So inviting your parents along is a way to give Ding Huaixiao a way out, since he is the head of the liquor market after all."

Lu Yaobin could only nod in agreement: "Okay, brother-in-law, don't worry, I will definitely do as you say. I will go back and tell my parents about this."

Feng Haidong said, "The distribution rights have been given to the liquor market. Next, remember to go find my senior brother and start making storefronts, first promoting it to the shops in the surrounding towns and villages."

Lu Yaobin asked, somewhat puzzled, "Why do we have to start with the townships?"

Feng Haidong said, "You don't understand. We'll start with the townships as a pilot program. The shops in the townships are easier to talk to. We'll give them free storefronts, and they'll definitely be happy to do that. After that, we can successfully promote the wine. Remember to tell them to always buy from the big wine market in the future."

Lu Yaobin was still a little puzzled: "Brother-in-law, do we really need to go through all this trouble? We could just go back and give the distribution rights to the liquor market and let them promote it."

Feng Haidong said, "You don't understand. On one hand, it's to give Brother Fan face. After all, Brother Fan helped us get the distribution rights, so we have to keep our promises to him. It's a matter of credibility in business."

On the other hand, if we successfully promote our services using this opportunity, wouldn't that also help our advertising company build its reputation?

Lu Yaobin thought about it and agreed that it made sense: "Okay, I'll listen to you, brother-in-law."

Feng Haidong concluded by saying, "Third brother, remember this: brand and reputation are the most important things for a company. If you want to keep the advertising company going and gradually grow it, you must start building your brand now and maintain your reputation."

Lu Yaobin nodded seriously and said, "I understand. Brother-in-law, you should also pay attention to safety from now on."

Feng Haidong said, "Don't worry, with my brother-in-law here, the two of us will definitely be fine."

After seeing his brother-in-law off, Feng Haidong and Fang Jianxing also boarded a train bound for another province.

Next, Feng Haidong and his group will go to a crayfish producing area that will become very famous in the country in a few years.

Although crayfish are still caught in the wild and farmed in the area, Feng Haidong decided to go and see for himself in advance and introduce the farming technology ahead of time.

After all, it's only a matter of the next few years before crayfish are widely promoted across the country.

If Feng Haidong cannot master the breeding techniques and control his own supply, he may soon be impacted by the market.

Before being impacted by the market, Feng Haidong had to enter the market in advance.

Perhaps crayfish farming cannot bring much profit at the moment.

However, as long as they start raising them first, at least they can guarantee a sufficient supply of goods for Feng Haidong's own restaurant.

With his own farmed crayfish supply, Feng Haidong naturally doesn't need to worry about being impacted by other sources.

Feng Haidong and his brother-in-law traveled together on a swaying green train, changing trains several times, and then taking a bus before finally arriving at their destination.

Upon arrival, Feng Haidong and Fang Jianxing were amazed by what they saw.

Fang Jianxing looked at the various crayfish restaurants in the area; they were practically everywhere.

"Haidong, I didn't expect there to be so many crayfish restaurants around here!"

Feng Haidong said with a smile, "After all, this is the production area, so it's not surprising that there are many local crayfish restaurants."

Then, Feng Haidong said to his brother-in-law, "How about we find a restaurant and try some local food?"

Fang Jianxing said, "Okay, let's see how the crayfish are prepared differently here."

Because there were so many restaurants on the street, Feng Haidong and Fang Jianxing carefully selected one that looked lively.

As soon as you enter, the owner comes out to greet you warmly.

To Feng Haidong and Fang Jianxing's surprise, the locals spoke with an accent that was similar to their own.

This saved a lot of trouble, and the two sides began to talk in a very simple and unpretentious manner.

The boss initially thought Feng Haidong and his group were locals based on their accents.

After everyone introduced themselves, the boss said with a smile, "Then we can be considered fellow townsmen, since our accents are almost the same."

Feng Haidong said, "That's right, we are indeed from the same hometown. Boss, how do you usually cook crayfish here?"

The owner immediately said, "Our specialty is the 'Thirteen Spices' method."

Feng Haidong said, "Okay, then boss, give us the Thirteen Spices flavor."

After the restaurant owners left, Fang Jianxing couldn't help but whisper, "Haidong, is this thirteen-spice recipe considered a specialty here? Didn't your restaurant already use it a long time ago?"

Feng Haidong smiled and said in a low voice, "Don't worry, maybe they do it differently here?"

Fang Jianxing said with a hint of disdain, "Haidong, I think the taste here is probably not as good as yours."

Feng Haidong actually thought the same thing.

After all, his method was developed by many chefs and is a very mature cooking method.

However, crayfish is not yet fully popular, and the way it is prepared is still in an exploratory stage.

So even in one of the famous crayfish producing areas, Feng Haidong felt that when it came to cooking crayfish, there was probably no restaurant in the area that could cook it better than him.

Thinking about this, Feng Haidong couldn't help but wonder: should he open a crayfish restaurant here?
