Chapter 47 Opening Ceremony
"Those who have thunder in their chests and their faces are like a peaceful lake, they can worship the general!" - "The Art of War"
"Wait~Wait~Wait~" The man in the flower shirt stood up from his seat and shouted in a weird voice. The guests in the audience all stopped applauding and looked at the back row in unison. A hint of displeasure appeared on the host's face, after all, this was delaying his time to go back to the air-conditioned room to rest.
"Sir, please wait a moment, when the unveiling ceremony is completed here, are you putting forward your ideas?" The host's voice was obviously not as enthusiastic as it had just been, and there was some anger in his words. Gu Kai and Lin Jiaming also felt inexplicable, where did this person come from. At first, the two of them thought they were each other's friends or friends of Gu Kai's father, but now it seems that it is not so simple.
"No, no, no~ I have to introduce myself before you can unveil the plaque!" The tone of the man in the flower shirt was still very frivolous, with some provocative meaning.
"This gentleman, if you have anything, let's talk about it in the hotel!please~" Gu Kai's father seemed to understand, this person was eighty percent here to find fault.
"Don't be in a hurry, let me say a few words first!" As he spoke, the man in the flower shirt had already walked up to the host and snatched the microphone from the host's hand. The host wanted to step forward to recapture it, but was stopped by the four men in suits, and couldn't get close to the man in the flower shirt at all.
"Ahem~" The man in the flower shirt deliberately cleared his throat, and then said:
"Let me introduce myself first, my name is Ah San, and everyone in this area calls me 'Third Brother'! I have no other meaning to come here today, just to attend the opening ceremony of the 'Sanqiu Inn', after all, ......" The person who called himself Ah San paused deliberately.
"After all, I also own a stake in this hotel!"
As soon as Ah San's words came out, there was an uproar on and off the stage. Gu Kai and Lin Jiaming gritted their teeth even more angrily. This "Sanqiu Inn" is their hard work, from preparing funds to renovating the storefront and training the clerks, this so-called "Ah San" did not participate in the slightest, and suddenly came out and said that he held the shares here, and no one could hold back. Gu Kai even clenched his fists and wanted to rush up to beat someone, but was grabbed by Gu Kai's father. Gu Kai's father gave him and Lin Jiaming a look, meaning that he would deal with it.
Gu Kai's father approached Ah San and was stopped by Ah San's "bodyguard" - now it seems that it should be his "bodyguard"! After all, Gu Kai's father has been in the business sea for so many years, and he has more or less seen such a scene, so he directly shook off the hand of the "bodyguard" and walked to Ah San's side.
"Young man, if you finish introducing yourself, can we talk?" Gu Kai's father's words were polite but powerful, and there was a little domineering hidden in the euphemism, which could be described as a hidden needle.
"Yo, who are you? I know that the owners of the 'Sanqiu Inn' are two young people in their 20s, and there is no middle-aged uncle like you!" Ah San's tone was still very arrogant. Gu Kai's father was not annoyed, and still looked at Ah San with an unchanged face.
"I am Gu Kai's father here, and my name is Gu Jiadong. After speaking, Gu Jiadong stretched out his right hand.
"Hello~" Ah San deliberately dragged out the word "good", stretched out his hand and held it on the tips of Gu Jiadong's fingers, shook it perfunctorily, and then let go.
"Mr. Ah San, right, we have prepared tea in the hotel conference room, I wonder if we can sit down?" Gu Jiadong's face was still very calm, but the tone of his words made it impossible to refuse.
"For the sake of your age being older than me, and you have called me several times, I will go and sit down, tea is not necessary, I don't drink tea!" Ah San threw the microphone into the host's hand, and there was a "bang" sound in the stereo, and the guests present quickly covered their ears. Seeing the guests like this, Ah San laughed, walked towards the hotel door with ruffian-like steps.
Gu Jiadong followed, and when he walked to Gu Kai and Lin Jiaming, he said "continue", and walked down the passage and entered the hotel.
Gu Kai and Lin Jiaming were so angry by this so-called "Ah San" that they wanted to go up and beat up this person who interrupted the ceremony several times, so that he could taste the taste of their fists, but fortunately, there was still a Lu Haowan by his side. Lu Haowan always dragged Lin Jiaming's arm, and persuaded the two of them to be patient first and let Gu Jiadong deal with it first, so as not to make things bigger.
Lin Jiaming walked to the host's side.
"Go ahead!"
The moderator nodded, and returned to his position.
"Distinguished guests, there is a little episode in our ceremony. But just like our life, there will always be all kinds of 'accidents and surprises', these 'accidents and surprises' will become a part of our life, and even guide us to develop in a better direction! I believe that our 'Sanqiu Inn' will definitely be able to cut through the waves in the commercial sea and forge ahead! Next, please allow me to announce that the ceremony continues~" In the end, it is a professional host, and in the face of any kind of emergency, he can quickly recover from the state.
"Please Mr. Gu, Mr. Lin and Miss Lu to unveil the hotel!"
"Bang la la~" In the applause of the audience, the three of them pulled the red silk ribbon together, and slid on the red silk covering the store sign to the top of the gold store card. Just like the curtain being slowly opened, the store sign is like a golden award, and the award certificate is printed with four big characters in charm blue - 'Sanqiu Inn'.
"Next, please take a group photo with Mr. Gu, Mr. Lin and Miss Lu......"
While the ceremony outside the hotel was in full swing, a tense negotiation was also going on in the hotel conference room.
"Mr. Ah San, let's be straight, what do you want?" Gu Jiadong took a Chinese cigarette in his right hand and dusted the ashes into the ashtray in front of him.
Ah San sat on the chair opposite with an indifferent face, and his extremely relaxed posture seemed to say, "What can you do to me?" But Gu Jiadong is Gu Jiadong after all, and the domineering spirit on his body also makes Ah San dare not be too presumptuous.
"Mr. Gu, I have made it very clear outside just now. I want a stake in this hotel!"
"Then how much money are you going to pay?" Gu Jiadong took a puff of his cigarette and spat a smoke ring at the ceiling. As the height increases, the smoke ring gets bigger and lighter.
"Talking about money, it hurts feelings! I'll help!" Ah San sat up, picked up the disposable water cup on the table, poured the tea into the ashtray, and poured the water in the ashtray back into the cup.
"Oh?!Tell me, what kind of power method?" Gu Jiadong was aroused by this Ah San, and wanted to see what kind of medicine he was selling in the gourd.
"Well, it's just a few people, look at the door or something! Look at your three-season hotel, it doesn't seem to be equipped with security personnel, but I have a few people here, barely competent!" Ah San looked at the four people standing behind him, and continued to play the game of pouring water.
"Sounds good, but how to calculate the salary?" asked Gu Jiadong with squinted eyes.
Originally, it was planned to be 10% of the turnover, but it was not easy for these two young people to start a business for the first time, so I will suffer a little loss!"
"Listening to Mr. Ah San, we should still thank you?" Gu Jiadong sat up and stared at Ah San, a chill flashing in his eyes.
"That's not necessary! Presumably Mr. Gu knows that doing business must be mutually beneficial and win-win!" Ah San said deliberately, after all, in the business world, everyone knows that doing business is mutually beneficial and win-win. Not to mention the business world, even in the international arena, isn't it the same? Otherwise, where does any strategic cooperation come from?
"What if we don't agree?" Gu Jiadong accentuated.
"I think, you'll agree!" Ah San finally stopped pouring water, stood up and said to Gu Jiadong with a wicked smile. After speaking, he swaggered out of the conference room, followed by four bodyguards.
Seeing Ah San walk out, Gu Jiadong sighed, put out the cigarette in his hand in the ashtray, and slowly got up and stood by the window. The ceremony downstairs has ended, and the staff began to disassemble the stage, Gu Kai and the others probably entered the lobby, and there was no figure of them outside.
