163. Then you sit in the chief
In the lobby of Xinhai International Hotel, the waiters in evening dresses were busy arranging and decorating the dinner scene, and the four foremen in the store were already in place, and the general manager personally supervised and waited for them.
The International Hotel is a century-old hotel in Xinhai, which has not only received many celebrities, but also some dignitaries and dignitaries. But today's dinner was unusual, as all the wealthy businessmen would come to celebrate the re-launch of the Jinjiangwan project.
The layout of the dinner refers to the specifications of the state banquet, and the distance and position of each plate, the spacing and priority of each seat, and the order of each dish are all exquisite.
The dishes mainly use local cuisine, with Cantonese cuisine and Hunan cuisine, first serve four fruits and four candied fruits, and then put eight cold dishes, and the guests are seated with a glass of wine immediately after serving two hot dishes, one of which is a big dish and an appetizer. After three rounds of wine, three hot dishes are served in turn, and all ten hot dishes are served, and the banquet is already halfway over. Finally, there is soup and fruit, when the guests are basically finished toasting, chatting in their own small circles, and those who are not full can also eat some snacks.
The whole process, several foremen have been rehearsed several times, and with 11 o'clock in the afternoon, the guests arrived at the hotel one after another.
There are two main hosts of this banquet, one is naturally Wang Danian, who has just escaped from prison, and the other is Cao Sitong, the new chairman of the Jianghuai Chamber of Commerce.
Sixty-six tables were set up at this dinner, implying that the project was successfully implemented. Of course, celebrities from all walks of life are endless, and those who can be invited to the banquet are basically a number of wealthy businessmen in Xinhai, or people who are ranked number one in various places.
The banquet seats are divided into three grades, the main table is 16 people, basically Cao Sitong and Wang Danian are the top figures of the level, and there are 10 tables around the two semicircles of the main table, which are all investors involved in the Jinjiangwan project, and they are also economic predators of all parties.
The next ten tables are the second seats, which are either celebrities at the prefectural and municipal levels, or the responsible parties of each link of the project, and also belong to the accompanying level of guests.
The last 40 or so tables were attended by guests from all walks of life, but they were also elite-level, and it was undoubtedly a great honor for them to receive this invitation.
The time came to 11:38, Wang Danian appeared at the door with his daughter Wang Lingjing, this was the first time Wang Danian appeared in public after he came out, Cao Sitong took everyone to stand up to greet him, the new chairman of the Chamber of Commerce did not forget to quip: "This time we are not only a banquet for the opening of the house, but also a banquet for receiving the wind, congratulations to Brother Wang for his failure to wash away from this, and from then on good luck." ”
Wang Danian also responded with a smile: "Wang is still not as good as Chairman Cao, he has always risen step by step, and he is unstoppable." ”
Cao Sitong said politely: "Where, where, it's just these good friends who help me, and I'm an endorsement." ”
After a few words of greeting, the two hosts brought the guests to the table, and today Wang Lingjing was dressed very brightly and became the focus of the banquet.
Not long after, a Rolls-Royce RV stopped directly at the door of the hotel, Lin Zhengming walked down with his two sons, and when he saw that the richest man in Victoria Harbour was also here, everyone who had just entered the table stood up to greet him.
Just when most people's focus was on Lin Zhengming, a permanent bicycle stopped behind the Rolls-Royce in a flicking position, and then an uncle in a Ni coat and jeans strode towards the main entrance.
"I'm sorry, but we don't accept customers today, so please forgive me. ”
As soon as the uncle arrived at the door, he was stopped by the doorman, although the words were still polite, but it revealed the meaning of rejecting people thousands of miles away.
The uncle was stunned for a moment, then sighed, and took out a gilded invitation from his crumpled trouser pocket.
The doorman was also stunned, today's banquet invited celebrities from all walks of life, no matter how you look at this uncle, it can't be related to the word celebrity.
The doorman looked at the invitation repeatedly, and although it was a little wrinkled, it was genuine.
"I'm sorry, I'll take you in. "Since it is a guest, the doorman naturally has to receive it wholeheartedly.
"No, just park the car for me. As he spoke, the uncle casually pointed to his side, and strode inside.
"Car?" the doorman looked behind the uncle, only to see a dilapidated bicycle.
"It's that bike, be careful, the collector's edition, the first batch after the founding of the People's Republic of China. ”
The uncle said that he had already walked into the hall, and under the leadership of two beautiful waitresses, he walked into the banquet hall.
Since the uncle was the last guest to enter the table, and most of the guests were greeting Lin Zhengming, naturally no one paid attention to this uncle.
The uncle looked around and saw that there was a seat closest to the door, so he sat down directly.
The seats for such banquets are arranged, and the position where the uncle sits is a person named Niu Ben, who should be the owner of Jianghuai Ranch, and his net worth is okay.
Sitting on the four sides of the uncle were all successful businessmen in suits and leather shoes, although they looked at Ye Yuan all over the humble stalls, who could guarantee that the average nouveau riche did not have this habit.
"Brother, the ranch business has been okay lately, right? Our hotel industry is not good, the market is not very good. At this time, a middle-aged guest with oily hair and flour face sitting next to the uncle accosted.
"I don't know, I've never done a ranch. The uncle directly picked up the dishes and chopsticks and ate them, not polite at all. At this moment, the banquet has not yet started, there are cold dishes on the table, and everyone is waiting for the host's family to speak, but the uncle eats and drinks this time, and suddenly half of the cold dishes are gone.
Seeing the uncle eating like this, the middle-aged guest swallowed his saliva, and then wondered: "Aren't you Niu Ben from Jianghuai Cattle Farm?"
The uncle replied casually: "Oh, I didn't sit in the seat, anyway, it's eating, what's the difference." ”
The middle-aged guest smiled but didn't talk again, and the other guests began to ignore the uncle, this thing should be mixed with food and drink, I don't know how to fool the security guard at the door.
After the noise at the main table, Wang Danian and Cao Sitong began their opening remarks, which was nothing more than lamenting the twists and turns of the Jinjiangwan project, and looking forward to the infinite prospects of this project.
At this time, a bald man wearing Vuitton casual clothes and a big belly came back from the main table, sat opposite the uncle, and when he saw the newcomer coming, he couldn't help but be stunned, and asked like the middle-aged guest before.
When he heard the middle-aged guest whisper a few words, he suddenly showed a look of disdain and began to brag to the people around him.
He is Jiang Lishan, is the owner of the Xinhai Express Group, this person has relied on the Express Group to make a fortune in recent years, and at the moment half of Xinhai's passenger transport is his family's car, and his net worth has skyrocketed to hundreds of millions, and his words are naturally remarkable.
Since this table of guests was arranged at the door, naturally their status was not high, and they belonged to the marginal figures in their circle, so Jiang Lishan was regarded as the highest status, and everyone toasted him one after another.
After teaching everyone a lesson, Jiang Lishan looked at the uncle and shouted directly: "Hey, you have to look good when you eat white food, there are difficulties, everyone understands, but if you don't follow the rules, you are doomed to be poor for a lifetime." Like when I was at the beginning, I drove a truck into Xinhai, and I was looked down upon and not allowed to join. I don't argue, bury my head and do it myself, guess what, I formed a team in a few years, and he is bankrupt, and now he is shy and messes with me, this is the ability, I can sit in this position. ”
Everyone naturally flattered, just now he went to the main table to pat the butt of the freight king Cao Sitong, and now he came to this table to show off his might, frantically brushing his sense of existence.
"Here, drink one!"
The group of people toasted each other, and Jiang Lishan shook his cup at the uncle, and said proudly.
The uncle didn't even raise his head, he was competing with a big lobster, and replied casually: "I'm not available." ”
The air suddenly froze, and everyone looked at Jiang Lishan in embarrassment, not knowing how to round the field.
Jiang Lishan's face was white and blue for a while, and then he patted the table and said: "You are a deflated three, what kind of thing, don't you have a shame, right, where do you say you are the business owner, and what qualifications do you have to come here to eat?"
The uncle replied leisurely: "I'm nothing, and now I'm full, say hello to the master's house and leave." ”
Jiang Lishan sneered: "I want to escape, right, it's not so easy to tell you, there is no seat for you here!"
The uncle stopped, wiped it with a napkin, and then replied indifferently: "Oh, there is no here, my seat should be ...... Over there. ”
The uncle pointed casually, and it turned out to be the direction of the main table.
This time, not only Jiang Lishan, but others also laughed, this person is not crazy, and the International Hotel doesn't know how to do it, this kind of person can also be put in.
"You sit there, why don't you sit as the chief?" Jiang Lishan said sarcastically.
The uncle looked at the empty chief and nodded, "That's not bad." ”
As he spoke, he really strode in the direction of the head of the main table.
