Chapter 234: Pretend, Pretend!
It turned out that Zhang Nan fooled the two girls again: he planned to live in the presidential suite on the top floor of the Jinjiang Hotel in Shanghai, and Citibank helped book it. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Of course, there will be a lady's room in the presidential suite, and it is estimated that Zhang Li and Chen Xiaoxu will live there tonight.
The time is relatively tight, so I booked two days in advance, fortunately, I was free, and I didn't have to pay Zhang Nan at all, he had no problem living there for the whole year!
Citibank pays the bill.
Although not all the money is deposited in Citigroup, and the majority is still in the stock market, Sunshine Star Company's account at Citibank generally maintains a deposit of three or five hundred million yuan, which does not include the figures in Mr. Allen's private account.
Citibank is also particular about points, and Mr. Allen now has so many points that he can stay in five-star hotels around the world without having to pay for it himself.
I didn't know about this service before, so I had a terrifying number of points: I didn't need to pay out of my own pocket for a long time.
After removing their makeup, Zhang Li and Chen Xiaoxu left the compound with Zhang Nan, and when they saw the two cars at the door, they were a little confused again.
"Get in the car, my own car. ”
Sitting in the Lincoln car with doubts, it was not unpleasant, and the two girls had sat in such an extended RV in the United States.
After Zhang Nan sat in, he said to Zhang Li: "The one who drove is Li Panfeng, and he is also my bodyguard." ”
Li Panfeng turned his head and smiled at the two girls, which was regarded as a greeting.
"Alyosha, call the hotel, we arrived in half an hour. Eat first, I'm starving. ”
"Okay, boss. Alyosha, who had already sat in the passenger seat, took out a huge "brick" from the side and called the hotel to prepare dinner.
By the way, the "brick" that was big enough to be used as a weapon to smash people was brought by the first generation of Big Brother! In the afternoon, someone from the Citibank office brought it to facilitate Zhang Nan's contact during his stay in Shanghai.
Yangcheng in Guangdong Province, China opened the first 900MHz analog mobile phone system last month, and the time for the opening of mobile phone services in Shanghai is actually half a catty to eight taels in Yangcheng.
The call quality is poor, the signal is also poor, it is really a brick and a stone far away from the city, the call is often disconnected, and sometimes you have to rely on yelling to speak!
And after a large battery of this thing is fully charged, it can only maintain 30 minutes of calls, which is super power-hungry, and the battery quality cannot be compared with the products on the market.
But even so, it is said that in Yangcheng and Shanghai, this big brother is still very tight, and it is difficult to find money: the public price is about 20,000 yuan, but it generally costs 25,000 yuan to buy, and the highest price on the black market is 50,000 yuan, plus about 6,000 yuan for accessing the network!
Nowadays, the wages of workers are more than 100 yuan, which not only discourages ordinary people, but also small and medium-sized enterprises can not afford it.
However, Citibank doesn't care, and there are still spare ones for VIP users who go to Shanghai for temporary errands.
In the next few years of modern urban movies in China, the bosses swaggered through the market with big brothers like bricks, and they couldn't wait for people a few streets away to hear when they made a phone call: sometimes you can't blame the nouveau riche for showing off, because the other party may not hear it at all if you speak softly!
And these days, except for a few places such as Shanghai and Yangcheng, people have no concept of private cars at all, and they rarely envy them: this will be in the city, even if you drive a BMW car to go out, others will think that it is a public car, far less dazzling than Big Brother.
Zhang Nan knew that as soon as this big brother came out, people would soon be proud of having a big brother and start a kind of show-off and comparison-style consumption.
Extroverts will hold Big Brother in their hands all day long, eat, drink tea, negotiate, and put it on the table, just like betting on a rich chip and scepter, they will immediately gain more respect, and business negotiations will become relatively easy.
People with restrained personalities will put Big Brother in a shiny boss bag, and the boss bag will be tucked under his arm all day long: take it out when appropriate, pull out a long antenna, spend a dollar a minute on the phone bill, and shout in the crowd: "Hey, hey, I can't hear you clearly, you say it again." This can attract countless admiring eyes.
People in this era are relatively simple and generally do not hide their admiration for others: many people quickly open up their social circles just because they have a big brother.
Soon, this big back comb, hairspray, and big brother in hand will become the ideal image of a rich man for many people.
Dirt, right?
It's like that, but in the late 80s and early 90s, this big brother had such energy.
Of course, Zhang Nan doesn't need this "big brick" to decorate himself, a small place also has the benefits of a small place, at least his Lincoln car, everyone knows which one it is in his hometown.
However, this big mobile phone had to be returned to the bank office before returning to the county, not because of money, but because it would be useless after returning to Jiangnan Province: Zhang Nan remembered that the mobile phone service in the county should be two or three years later.
This fixed program-controlled phone has just been installed for a long time, and if you want to use the mobile phone, in a few years, unless Zhang Nan has more money and no place to spend it, he will pay a set for the county post and telecommunications bureau out of his own pocket.
And there is a very strange thing in my memory: the team of the Material Bureau was reorganized into the Trading Company of the Material Bureau around 90 years, when Big Brother was in vogue, and the new company manager used a "big sister" bought with public funds!
"Big brother" is more than 20,000 yuan, and "big sister" is of a higher grade, 30,000 yuan: I remember that kid dragged it as if he was 2580,000 yuan, and he took a "big sister" every day to show off.
When Zhang Nan saw Alyosha using a big brick, he couldn't help but think of the manager who was on the wrong path with his brother-in-law later--you big man use a "big sister", and you are proud of it, how do you look like a 250 now!
By the way, Zhang Nan can't even remember what the "eldest sister" looks like, anyway, it's not small, and it doesn't seem to be a clamshell machine.
As for how such a strange name as "Big Sister" came about, I can't remember it, anyway, everyone in the Materials Bureau knew that the kid was using a super expensive "Big Sister".
I wasn't used to it at first, but now that I'm forced to get used to the relatively primitive communication environment, I actually feel that it's good to have no mobile phone, at least I don't have to worry about someone looking for me.
There is a saying that is very true: 99% of the world's things are not in a hurry, and if the remaining 1% can't find anyone, then there is no urgency and it doesn't matter.
I'm tired of looking at my phone all the time, and I'm afraid of the days when I missed calls, WeChat, and text messages, and it seems good to have no mobile phone.
By the way, I don't know if the first generation of Big Brother has a missed caller ID function, and SMS is a new thing that was launched many years later, as for WeChat, it is okay not to say.
……
Alyosha was quite loud on the phone, and it was repeated several times before the waiter at the front desk of the hotel understood: let them prepare a private room with the same table for 8 people in half an hour, and it was a large round table with at least 10 seats.
The men are big, and the tables are too small to sit.
As for the dishes, this damn big brother couldn't understand it at all: Alyosha was tired of talking, and Zhang Nan was even more tired when he listened to it in the back.
It was really uncomfortable to listen to, and I couldn't help but interject: "Just don't have pork and crabs, just follow the highest standards." ”
This time it was much simpler, Alyosha finally hung up the phone after a roar, and this time it finally stopped.
Don't eat pork and crabs, that's the eating habits of taking care of the two of them.
didn't raise the soundproof panel, Zhang Nan said: "Actually, Alyosha and Shamili and Karimi are all Chinese, Alyosha is of Russian ethnicity, and Karimi is of Tajik ethnicity. There are also Panfeng them, who used to be my brother-in-law and Brother Guan's old comrades-in-arms and subordinates.
For some special reasons, now they are all my bodyguards, and on the surface, the armed security personnel of a specially approved security company are actually serving me. ”
Zhang Nan needs to explain, otherwise the two girls are really a little confused by their pomp and circumstance today.
Zhang Li is still a little worried: her boyfriend's current situation is even more exaggerated than in the movie, and the more she listens to it, the more worried she becomes.
"Anan, what's going on?"
Chen Xiaoxu on the side also looked a little worried, plus a curious expression.
Zhang Nan smiled and said: "To put it simply, I won a lottery in the United States, and I probably took more than 200 million US dollars." Later, I made some money from investing, and that's probably it. ”
Suddenly there were two guys in the car who looked surprised, incredulous, and couldn't believe it for the time being.
"By the way, don't forget about the Empire State Building, if nothing else, it will be owned by my wholly-owned holding company in the United States after New Year's Day, which means that the house will soon be mine. ”
After speaking, Zhang Nan was there smiling and smiling......
Zhang Nanke has never forgotten the joke about the Empire State Building, after the "Black Monday", the relevant personnel of the company have started a series of complex equity transactions around the Empire State Building: as of the day before yesterday, Sunshine Star Company has completed the absolute control of the ownership of the building, and the rest is only the final related procedures to go through the formalities.
There will be no little devils in the future, and in a legal sense, this is just an "American-American" transaction that will not cause much trouble.
"Really?" Zhang Li, whose face was surprised, finally popped out of her mouth, and she didn't know if she was asking about hundreds of millions of dollars or about the Empire State Building.
"Really, it's not boiled anyway! You two don't play tricks, even if you are not yet 23 years old in '88, I remember it clearly. ”
Zhang Li didn't know what to say at this meeting, Zhang Nan's words had too much impact on them, so big that it was completely beyond imagination!
Finally, Chen Xiaoxu seemed to grasp something, and said: "Anan, did you do it on purpose at the gate of the Empire State Building? I remember that time the Americans opened a super jackpot of hundreds of millions, and you were the one who won the prize?"
"It's me who won the lottery, but Xiao Xu, you can't wronged people. The award hasn't been opened on the day we said it's set, if you don't believe it, you can go to the newspaper "Shanghai Picking" here, which writes about it, and there is an exact date. ”
"Wait, let me think... So you're already a billionaire when you come back with us, and you're keeping it a secret!"
Zhang Li's reaction was not slow.
Zhang Nan pretended to be involuntarily and said, "I didn't dare to say it at that time, I didn't even think about what to do." Our country's foreign exchange reserves are now more than 200 million, and my money can account for one-tenth of it.
My sister and brother-in-law also told them very late, although I am free to move in the country, but you have also seen that without Alyosha and them on the side, I don't dare to run around, and it is a problem that there is too much money......"
Load, load!
The little girl is so deceiving!(To be continued.) )
