The Drunken Eight Immortals is a private garden purchased by the Tao family.

The ancestor was a big salt merchant who was famous in Jianghuai, and in the later period, the family road fell in the middle, so the house was handed over, and Tao Nanfang spent a lot of money in order to get this garden.

Real estate prices have been rising in recent years, and private residential gardens like this with historical and cultural heritage are even more priceless.

The Drunken Eight Immortals are not open to the public, only open to important guests, and the people who can be invited to eat here are all big people who are either rich or noble.

There is no fireworks in the drunken eight immortals on weekdays, and there is not much difference from some garden parks open to the outside world.

The yard was cleaned, not a single leaf was visible on the green bricks, and the cobbled paths in the garden were washed smooth and shiny by the water.

The air is mixed with a natural floral fragrance, and if you look carefully for the source, you can see seasonal flowers placed in the corner of the wall.

Cao Yunfeng is the current person of the Cao family, he walked on the right side, smiled and said to Wang Ding beside him, "I didn't expect that there is such a quiet place in the center of Qiongjin's city." ”

It is said that the Tao family's assets are amazing, and I didn't believe it before, but now I realize that what I knew before was just the tip of the iceberg.

The real wealthy families, most of the funds are scattered, and a lot of investment is placed in the industry, and the rich people listed on the wealth list are all based on visible capital as the evaluation content.

Wang Ding bowed slightly, and said with a smile: "With Boss Cao's strength, if you want to settle down in Qiongjin, it's not a matter of words. ”

Cao Yunfeng shook his head and said with a smile: "It's easy to buy real estate, but it's too difficult to really gain a foothold. ”

Cao Yunfeng, Wang Ding, Huang Cheng, all three of them are valuable figures.

The Cao family's sphere of influence is in Donglu, and it is mainly engaged in foreign cross-border trade. More than 10 years ago, when foreign trade was at its hottest, it used to make a lot of money, which was only higher than the Jin merchants who made a fortune with coal at that time, but they just liked to make a fortune in a muffled voice.

Now China supports two cross-border e-commerce companies to be listed in country M, and they have also made a fortune by relying on the stock market.

Among the three, the Cao family has the most financial resources.

Tao Nanfang walked in the front to lead the way, turned around and said with a smile: "There are old residents next to it, although the cost of demolition is larger, but as long as you can afford the price, it is not impossible to negotiate." If the three of them invest together and build a private villa area here, it will definitely sell well. ”

Huang Cheng, who had been silent, said with a smile: "Boss Tao, when did you become interested in real estate?"

Wang Ding smiled and said, "Boss Tao is joking with us." As far as I know, the nearby lots were all acquired by Huaixiang Group, and the reason why it was not demolished was because Boss Tao wanted to transform this place into an authentic ancient city. ”

Huang Cheng exclaimed: "There are not many nostalgic people like Boss Tao." ”

Tao Nanfang smiled slightly and walked into the box with the three of them.

All kinds of delicacies have already been placed on the table, and the other three people all know that the Tao family has a foothold in catering, and today's meal must be extraordinary, but they didn't expect it to be unexpected.

"Today's chef for us is Mr. Zheng Ze, the master of Lu cuisine, the national chef, and he has made several dishes that he is best at for everyone to taste. Tao Nanfang said with a smile.

"I didn't eat breakfast, and it looks like I'm going to be able to feast on it today. Cao Yunfeng smiled humorously.

Tao Nanfang gave the waiter a look, and the waiter began to divide the dishes for the three of them, introducing the name and origin of each dish.

"This dish is called mullet egg soup, also known as Diaoyutai soup, selected high-grade mullet eggs and top clear soup boiled, slightly sour and spicy, appetizing and ......"

"This dish is called garlic seed roast skirt, the choice of high-quality skirt, plus thick soup as the base, has the effect of nourishing yang, nourishing blood and moisturizing the skin, and it is also served in the state banquet......"

The skirt is a circle of meat with a very soft edge on the back of the soft-shelled turtle, which belongs to the Lu cuisine, the color is oily yellow, and the fragrance moistens the tongue.

This is Zheng Lao's specialty dish, safflower shark fin rice, the main ingredients are big golden hook wings and precious saffron, which is extremely nutritious and has a good health care effect. ”

There are many varieties of shark fins, including Tianjiu wing, sea tiger wing, golden hook wing, tooth wing, yellow rubber wing, green wing, five sheep wing, etc., Tianjiu wing is superior, sea tiger wing, golden hook wing is medium, yellow rubber wing, tooth wing, green wing is the general grade.

There are a total of 36 dishes on a table, with meat and vegetarian combinations, bringing together many famous dishes from the eight major cuisines, and many dishes are dishes that will appear at the state banquet, which is enough to see Tao Nanfang's good intentions and sincerity.

After all the dishes were served, the four of them drank two rounds, and Tao Nanfang began to turn the topic to the right path, "Minghong Group has recently fallen into a financial crisis, and the Jiyun Building under construction has not been able to get a loan, and the news that it has been suspended, presumably the three of them have also heard about it, right?"

Cao Yunfeng put down his chopsticks and sighed: "Now that the economy is in a recession, many of our Cao family's industries are also in trouble, and now we are too busy to take care of ourselves." ”

Wang Ding looked at Tao Nanfang with a smile and said curiously: "I heard that the Tao family and the Zhan family are going to marry, could it be that Boss Tao wants to persuade us to help your in-laws?"

Huang Cheng glanced at Tao Nanfang lightly, smiled, and did not speak.

Tao Nanfang waved his hand, and all the waiters evacuated and closed the door.

"Mingren doesn't say dark words, I invited the four of you over today to discuss the matter of dealing with the Zhan family. Tao Nanfang said lightly, "This time to launch an attack on the Minghong Group, the Tao family occupies the position of the main attacker, and only the three of you need to wave the flag and shout from the side." In the end, I can do without the results of the battle, except for the Extreme Cloud Building, other industries. ”

Tao Nanfang's proposal moved the three of them.

Cao Yunfeng wiped his mouth with a napkin and said with a smile: "Mr. Tao, this matter has to be considered in the long run, after all, the Zhan family is not a miscellaneous fish, even if the four of us join forces and want to kill with a rod, it is not easy." If the Zhan family dies without stiffening, we can make a mortal enmity with them. ”

Wang Ding glanced at Cao Yunfeng, secretly thinking that this kid was really sleek.

However, dividing up the Zhan family is indeed a tempting proposal, and he chose not to move, "The Wang family and the Zhan family have cooperated in many businesses, and if the Zhan family collapses, it will also have an impact on the Wang family." ”

Tao Nanfang looked at the two calmly, secretly thinking that they were both treacherous and cunning oilers, and finally her eyes fell on Huang Cheng's body.

Although Huang Cheng represents the Huang family and is also surnamed Huang, he himself has no blood from the Huang family, but he can become a representative of the Huang family step by step from the bottom, and his ability is not bad.

However, Tao Nanfang didn't have much expectations for Huang Cheng, because his personality was relatively calm.

If Huang Cheng also chooses to watch from the wall, it means that this dinner has no value and has become useless.

The sniping of the Zhan family naturally had to find another way.

With the current strength of the Tao family, if you really want to attack the Zhan family in an all-out way, you will have to hurt yourself by killing 1,000 enemies, and it is very likely that you will be profited by the fisherman.

Tao Nanfang was silent on the surface, but her mood was extremely unbeautiful, "Since you are not interested, then the Tao family will attack the Zhan family alone, I will say hello to you in advance, if it affects your interests, please forgive me." ”

Huang Cheng glanced at Tao Nanfang unexpectedly, secretly wondering why he didn't ask his opinion.

He smiled lightly, "On behalf of the Huang family, I made it clear that I am willing to join this cooperation." ”

Huang Cheng's words surprised everyone, including Tao Nanfang, she was also stunned, she didn't expect that the first person to support her was Huang Cheng, who was the least optimistic in advance, and his attitude was proactive.

Huang Cheng's clear statement made Wang Ding and Cao Yunfeng fall silent, and they began to calculate the gains and losses.

Although the Zhan family is strong, if the Huang family and the Tao family join forces, they will definitely lose.

The Zhan family is undoubtedly a piece of fat, can they let the Huang family and the Tao family share it?

"Since Mr. Huang is so confident, I am also interested. I will emphasize the significance and value of this cooperation to the family executives, but on the issue of dividing the Zhan family's industry, do we still have to sit down and talk about it?" Cao Yunfeng took the lead in smiling again, and said to Tao Nanfang flatteringly.

Wang Ding saw that Cao Yunfeng also agreed, and hurriedly said: "Boss Tao, please rest assured, the Wang family is not bad, and when it is time to exert strength, the chain will definitely not be dropped." ”

Tao Nanfang raised her glass and said with a smile: "Then celebrate the smooth success of our cooperation in advance." ”

The four white porcelain cups collided gently, and the fragrance of good wine sauce was permeated, and the cooperation opinions were initially reached.

At the end of the meal, Tao Nanfang set up a tea party in the backyard, and a female tea master wearing a cheongsam cooked tea for the three of them.

"I met your son-in-law the other day, and he is a surprising young man. Huang Cheng found an opportunity to talk to Tao Nanfang, hoping to get closer.

He didn't know that Tao Nanfang had a strange attitude towards his son-in-law.

Tao Nanfang remained silent and said with a smile: "Young man, too young, no characterization, if there is anything wrong, you point it out to me, and I will criticize him at that time." ”

Huang Cheng hurriedly shook his head and said sincerely: "I'm not talking nonsense. I have a good personal relationship with Xu Hexiang, and a few days ago, under his leadership, I went to the restaurant opened by your son-in-law, no, to be precise, it was the canteen, and enjoyed a good meal. If you don't like to hear it, although the ingredients and the chef are of an absolute high standard, I was impressed by that meal. He conquered me with a dish of chicken soup......"

Tao Nanfang was stunned for a while, reacted very quickly, and said with a smile: "He doesn't have many advantages, but his cooking skills are really good, but compared with Zheng Guochu, he still lacks a lot." ”

Huang Cheng didn't think so, he felt that the dishes made by Qiao Zhi, especially the chicken soup, were the real food, like today's meal, the queue was too long to have nothing to do.

Huang Cheng smiled: "In fact, tasting food is more important to people's mood. Today's meal was delicious, but it didn't impress me. I may be a bit hypocritical when I say this, but it is from the bottom of my heart. For example, if I choose to support your plan, I don't just calculate the strength on paper, why not consider the potential for good growth of the Tao family?"

Tao Nanfang's heart fluctuated, and Huang Cheng's performance at the dinner table today was inseparable from Qiao Zhi.

He indirectly helped himself and brought about this union?

Although the coincidence factor is very large, Tao Nanfang has to face up to his son-in-law, because it is not the first time that he has played a positive role in the Tao family's major issues.

Last time, it was to clean up the internal problems of the high-level, and this time it is to face external troubles!
