Chapter Twenty-Six: A Pleasant Conversation
Chapter Twenty-Six: A Pleasant Conversation
A few years ago, Qian Xiaogang tasted the sweetness of real estate in partnership with friends in Zhuhai, and soon got a piece of land in Baiteng Lake to develop a high-end villa area, specifically targeting those rich people in the Pearl River Delta, the main body of the villa has begun to be built, but the landscape around the villa has come up with several sets of plans, which are not very satisfactory to him, and he always feels that something is missing. Yamato Villa is famous, he wanted to go in to see the design of internationally famous masters for a long time, but he didn't have the opportunity, and heard Qin Xiaohua say that a friend was doing decoration in Yamato Villa, so he immediately rushed back from Zhuhai.
Qian Xiaogang has a height of nearly 1.8 meters, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a Chinese face. He and Qin Xiaohua are childhood sweethearts, the two families are still world friends, and their fathers are both provincial and ministerial-level high-ranking officials, they are the real second generation of officials. When I was a child, I grew up together in the capital, from elementary school to high school, although the university is different, but they are also in the capital, the combination of the two can be said to be a matter of course, and it is also the wish of the parents of the two parents.
Just two years of marriage, the two had a very sweet day, but their personalities are very strong, do not know how to compromise with each other, both of them have their own careers, when Qian Xiaogang and his friends went to Zhuhai to work hard real estate, the relationship between the two had a great crisis, until later Qian Xiaogang's father was sick and hospitalized, the two rushed back to the capital, in the last days of accompanying the old man, Qian Xiaogang and Qin Xiaohua finally understood each other, and when the old man was dying, he told him a great news, when the old man heard that his daughter-in-law was finally pregnant with a grandson, he left peacefully。
After the two returned to Guangdong, they were still living separately, gathering less and leaving more, and after many years of marriage, the relationship also entered a dull period. Perhaps, like most men, no matter how beautiful and moving his wife is, after the novelty has passed, Qian Xiaogang lost his original passion and devoted himself to his career. Qin Xiaohua seems to be used to this state, the two of them don't get together many times, and they don't have the joy of being a newlywed at all.
A long time ago, the two of them were relatively independent financially, although Qin Xiaohua had consulted Qian Xiaogang for many small investments in Guangzhou, but they used their own money, just like the current Rongxi Teahouse, which she invested and opened with Xiaoyan's girlfriends, and Qin Xiaohua owns 60% of the shares.
The Mingyun private room is basically Qin Xiaohua's royal tea room, which is rarely open to the public.
In the morning, there were not many guests who came to taste tea, and Xiaoyan was accompanying Qin Xiaohua and his wife in the private room.
"Your friend made these nice backdrop walls, I'll stop by and check them out later. Qian Xiaogang looked at the product brochures that Qin Xiaohua took back from Lin Qiang and said.
"Brother Gang, I've been to see it with Sister Hua, it's really good. As soon as Xiao Yan finished speaking, he saw Lin Qiang leading two people to appear at the door, and hurriedly got up to open the door.
Lin Qiang met Qian Xiaogang for the first time, and everyone introduced each other and exchanged business cards.
After a round of tea, the three men came to the coffee table and sat down and began to talk about business.
"Mr. Cao, I have heard of the name for a long time, and I will have to ask you, an expert, for many decoration matters in the future. Qian Xiaogang said.
"Money is always serious. I heard Lin Qiang say that Mr. Qian is doing well in Zhuhai, and he has the opportunity to visit and study with you. ”
"Welcome. By the way, you designed the decoration of Yamato Villa?"
"Yes, if you have time, you will always be able to guide and guide. ”
"I don't dare to guide, but today I'm really interested in visiting and visiting, it should be convenient, right? ”
Lin Qiang smiled and said, "No problem, Mr. Qian, I just took Mr. Qin to see it a few days ago." ”
Qin Xiaohua and Xiaoyan and Wen Jie also quickly became acquainted, and the three of them were talking about the topic of women in a whisper.
Lin Qiang saw that the time was almost up, and suggested going to the construction site of Yamato Villa first.
Cao Xu and Wen Jie drove their own cars. Qian Xiaogang sat in the passenger seat of Lin Qiang's car, and Qin Xiaohua and Xiaoyan sat in the back row.
"Mr. Lin, you should have the design drawings of Yamato Villa, right?" asked Qian Xiaogang in the car.
"Mr. Cao must have it there, go back and ask him to send you a copy. ”
"That's really great. Qian Xiaogang said excitedly.
After coming to the construction site, Qian Xiaogang was an expert, and he could see the mystery at a glance, and when he sighed at the wonderful inspiration of the world-class master, he was also thinking about his own shortcomings, and he gained a lot.
The renovation project is progressing very quickly, and the background walls in many villas have been installed, and the atmospheric and luxurious effect amazes everyone, and Qian Xiaogang is even a little impatient to go to Lin Qiang to see it immediately.
Qin Xiaohua held Xiao Yan, always admiring those background walls, and discussed something with Xiao Yan in a low voice from time to time, Xiao Yan couldn't stop nodding.
After a round in Yamato Villa, the group drove to Lin Qiang's company.
"Mr. Lin, no wonder Xiaohua blew your products into the sky when she called me. After carefully reading the samples in the exhibition hall, visiting the production workshop, and returning to the office on the second floor, Qian Xiaogang said to Lin Qiang: "The real objects on the background wall look much more upscale than the atlas, and your products are really marketable." ”
"Thank you for your appreciation. Lin Qiang took the opportunity to say: "In the future, when Mr. Qian's villas are to be renovated, don't forget our products." ”
"Of course, Mr. Lin will have to give me a preferential price then. Also, Mr. Cao, I would like to formally invite your company to participate in the bidding for the villa decoration project, if you are interested, make an appointment to visit my construction site. ”
"Of course I'm interested, and I'm looking forward to cooperating with Mr. Qian. Cao Xu said.
The three men are of the same age, and they have all stayed in Beijing, and it is even more coincidental that Cao Xu and Qian Xiaogang are still alumni, and Qian Xiaogang is only two terms higher than Cao Xu, so everyone's relationship has become a lot closer all of a sudden.
"Brother Lin, it's almost noon, it's rare to have a good conversation with Mr. Qian today, let's have a few drinks together, you call Su Juan and ask her to prepare some good things." Cao Xu said to Lin Qiang.
Cao Xu was very clear about Lin Qiang's relationship with Su Juan. After Su Juan returned to China, she opened a restaurant near Liwan Lake, and Cao Xu sent someone to help decorate it. The restaurant is running very well, but unfortunately the road needs to be demolished later, it just so happens that Lin Qiang's childhood friends in the mountains of Fengcheng specially purchased wild animals such as wild boars, pheasants, hares, quails, turtle doves, bamboo rats, civets, etc., Lin Qiang suggested that Su Juan open a special restaurant specializing in game, no need to find a store in the downtown area, to a slightly remote suburb, as long as you can drive in.
Su Juan was hesitant at first, she was not familiar with the game industry, and she was worried that she would not be able to do it. Cao Xu had a friend who wanted to sell a villa restaurant near Yongtai in Baiyun District, and after everyone discussed, Lin Qiang and Cao Xu decided to invest 20% each, encouraging Su Juan to operate boldly. With Lin Qiang's support, Su Juan was greatly relieved, took over the restaurant, and changed it to the famous "First Village of Wild Meat", relying on the stable supply of Lin Qiang's friends in Fengcheng Township, the first village of wild meat varieties is very rich, and soon its reputation spread far and wide, and customers came like clouds, and they had to book a table in advance. Those days were Su Juan's most fulfilling and happiest time, not only was business booming, but Lin Qiang, Cao Xu and Wen Jie also came over often, everyone talked and laughed, and Su Juan's depressed mood when she first returned to China slowly improved.
It's just that the good times didn't last long, after the outbreak of the "SARS" in 03, it was rumored that the virus came from wild animals, and civet cats were the culprits, although there was no scientific conclusion until now, but it was a devastating blow to the wildlife market at that time, Su Juan's "first village of wild meat" business plummeted, although it was renamed "the first village of educated youth" in a timely manner, focusing on farm food, but the business was not as good as before. It wasn't until more than a year after SARS that the original old diners slowly came to the door again, but at this time, Guangdong Province was very strict with wildlife control, and Su Juan didn't dare to blatantly manage wild meat anymore, but those old acquaintances and old diners could still taste good things if they made a reservation in advance, and ordinary diners could only taste some wild meat that was not covered by the wildlife protection law, such as sparrows, turtle doves, and hares.
Su Juan received a call from Lin Qiang, so she went to the kitchen to explain to the master in person, and reserved a large private room.
"Mr. Qian, the weather is getting colder, take you to a good place, the hot pot there is really distinctive. Lin Qiang said.
