Chapter 427: Gao Lan's privacy
Guo Yang walked behind the waitress for a while, and suddenly his heart moved, he felt that he needed to meet with Gao Lan and talk about some thoughts and ideas thoroughly. As for meeting someone, I'm not in a hurry.
Thinking of this, Guo Yang stopped, took out his mobile phone and dialed Gao Lan's number: "Sister Lan." ”
"Guo Yang, are you at the hotel?" Gao Lan's brisk voice came into Guo Yang's ears, and he smiled: "Sister Lan when I arrived, however, the hotel arrangement is too extravagant, and I am a little uncomfortable." ”
Gao Lan smiled lightly: "Okay, don't be hypocritical, you are also a well-known entrepreneur and big boss now, what is it to live in a star-rated hotel? You must know that sometimes, although we don't pay attention to these pomp, but when dealing with businessmen, some facades still need to be talked about, otherwise you will be looked down upon." ”
"That's right. Guo Yang smiled: "Sister Lan, what are you doing now?
Gao Lan was silent for a while, and said with a light smile: "Guo Yang, why don't I go over and talk to us?" Or you just come out, I will invite you to eat the roast goose last time." ”
"Okay, Sister Lan, we'll see you later. Guo Yang hung up the phone, handed his luggage to the waitress, and smiled: "Miss, please send my luggage to my room, I have something to do temporarily, I have to go out to meet a friend first, and then come back to check in." ”
"Yes, sir. The waitress took Guo Yang's luggage, bowed, and left. Guo Yang took a deep breath, then turned around and walked out of the hotel, and went straight to the small restaurant where he had dinner with Gao Lan last time.
Guo Yang waited at the door of the restaurant for a few minutes, and Gao Lan came.
……
Every achievement has a story behind it, and we are always curious about the experiences of successful people, especially those who have risen to success step by step on their own. "I am a person who cannot allow myself to fail", looking back, there is no doubt that Gao Lan's history of struggle has set an example for many people.
Only then did Guo Yang know that Gao Lan was not born in the wealthy family of Hong Kong and Kowloon as he imagined, and moved to Hong Kong from Yanjing with his mother at the age of 14. At that time, life was difficult, so I worked as a part-time worker on the assembly line of the factory in the New Territories, which lasted for five years. This period was described by Gao Lan as a thoughtless mechanical life, and her ideals were extremely simple, and her salary could be satisfied from a few hundred yuan a month to 1,000 yuan.
"But when I really earned more than 1,000, I was not satisfied, and I began to yearn for myself to work in an office building and be a small white-collar worker. In order to achieve this goal, I chose to recharge my batteries, no matter how hard it was, I went to night school every day after work, rain or shine. Until one day, I finally walked into the office building and became the secretary and treasurer of a trading company. ”
Gao Lan sighed faintly: "The past is unbearable, Guo Yang, can you think that I actually worked hard from a small person?"
Guo Yang smiled: "Sister Lan, I really didn't expect that you would be a mainlander. But I can't really tell, you speak fluent Cantonese and standard English English......"
"Hehe, there are so many things you can't think of......" Gao Lan laughed.
"At that time, my biggest dream was to go to school and go abroad to get a good education. When a friend told me why I didn't go to school, I was afraid of it, so I took the 3,000 pounds I had saved from my five-year part-time job, a stir-fry pot, and an English-Chinese dictionary to study economics at the University of Sussex in the United Kingdom, and then obtained a master's degree in development economics from the University of Cambridge. ”
After that, she joined Wall Street as a young analyst, first at investment bank Goldman Sachs and then at Traveler Group. Countless elites dream of working on high ground, but for Gauland, Wall Street is "the ugliest place in her life." She doesn't like the "copper smell" of Wall Street, full of foul language, disgusting the poor and loving the rich, and profit is king, all of which are upside-down values.
The air in the small restaurant is full of the smell of roast goose, but who would have thought that among these ordinary diners, there are actually two business predators who are calling for wind and rain in the current era. And Gao Lan's past experience as a strong woman in the business world poured out in such an understatement conversation.
"Three years later, I returned to China, and I felt that this place on Wall Street was not suitable for me, a very disgusting place-Guo Yang, I know that you have been dealing with these people recently, I can't say anything, but I remind you of one word-" Gao Lan looked at Guo Yang's eyes, and his expression was very serious.
Guo Yang nodded: "Sister Lan, you say, I'll listen to you." ”
Gao Lan snorted: "These people smell of copper, they only recognize money and don't recognize people, when you deal with these people, you must at least grasp it, be ruthless, don't be soft-hearted, otherwise, you will be sold by others and have to help others count the money......"
Guo Yang smiled but did not speak.
He knew that Gao Lan had good intentions, and what he said was also the truth. But what does he do, in this world, the person who wants to pit him can't say no, but the person who can pit him hasn't been born yet. In terms of ruthlessness and means, Guo Yang does not lack any aspects.
For example, the last time Hu Qingchao happened, in fact, Guo Yang had more violent and ruthless means to deal with someone, but when he saw Gao Lan, he took into account Gao Lan's face, and it was also in order to protect the hard-won long-term strategic cooperative relationship between the two sides, so he adopted a relatively stable and soft way of dealing with it.
Otherwise...... Someone is dead.
You must know that this is in the mainland, not Hong Kong and Kowloon. Even in Hong Kong and Kowloon, Guo Yang is not afraid.
Gao Lan quickly changed the topic: "After returning to China, I met ......"
Gao Lan's charming face blushed slightly, and continued: "I met my ex-husband...... Huang someone!"
Guo Yang's expression remained unchanged, he naturally knew it for a long time, although he didn't ask or understand, but Gao Lan's age and background must have had marriage experience, but this is Gao Lan's privacy, and he is not good to ask.
Unless Golan himself is willing to confess.
Otherwise, Guo Yang will never be able and will not ask.
The lofty declaration of a Hong Kong and Kowloon company made Gao Lan, who had just returned to China, very excited, and she was very eager to meet these people. At the meet-and-greet, Gao Lan met her ex-husband, Huang, one of the owners of the company at the time, for the first time. This man who is not good-looking, not tall, not strong, and full of Cantonese, because his speech is very original, makes Gao Lan feel like he hates to see each other late.
In fact, Guo Yang also knows Gao Lan's famous ex-husband Mr. Huang. This person is a big boss in the Chinese economic circle, and his influence is very great. It's just that he later got involved in an industry that he shouldn't have set foot in, and offended some people who shouldn't have offended, and finally had to leave the mainland market and go to Singapore to start a business. Of course, this is all after Mr. Huang and Gao Lan divorced and broke up.
"Guo Yang, do you know how long it took for me and Mr. Huang to get married?" asked Gao Lan.
Guo Yang was stunned and shook his head.
"We were both old, I was twenty-eight or nineteen years old at the time, and I didn't have to be in love for a few years like I was 18. ”
Gao Lan's words made Guo Yang dumbfounded. Gao Lan and Mr. Huang fell in love for four days, and Mr. Huang proposed to Gao Lan. The two decided to get married from mutual acquaintance, and it was only two weeks before and after. Later, the two co-founded an investment fund. Later, a year later, after all, the two broke up peacefully because of differences in life values.
Gao Lan put aside Mr. Huang, went it alone, and started again a year, which led to the Gao Lan Fund.
Gao Lan worked hard in the field of financial investment alone, and finally got to where he is today.
Guo Yang sighed slightly, it is really not easy for a woman to have today, he raised his glass and invited him to drink: "Sister Lan, the past is in the past, no matter what it is, it doesn't matter anymore, the important thing is that we have tomorrow, let's toast to tomorrow, for you and me long-term strategic partnership!"
Gao Lan also raised his glass and his face was slightly red: "Cheers to tomorrow!"
……
Gao Lan was seventy or eighty percent drunk, she swayed her body, walked out of the small restaurant, the street in the middle of the night, silent, and the lights around her gradually stopped.
Guo Yang hesitated, but still reached out and supported Gao Lan, who was crumbling.
Gao Lan's charming face quietly floated two blushes, and then she took advantage of the situation to snuggle her whole body into Guo Yang's arms.
As a strong woman who is rarely and difficult to be emotional, she doesn't know when she was obsessed with Guo Yang, if it weren't for the fact that the age gap is a little big, with her personality, she would have asked Guo Yang for pleasure a long time ago.
Guo Yang noticed the heat of the plump Gao Lan's body, and was slightly embarrassed. But the relationship between the two is good, and they are collaborators, if he wants to leave Gao Lan alone, it will undoubtedly make her angry and embarrassed, Guo Yang endured the embarrassment and all kinds of ambitions caused by this mature woman, and took Gao Lan into a taxi.
……
Gao Lan was lying lazily on the bed, and she didn't know when Guo Yang would leave. But the body's reaction told her what she had just been through. This is the key to calming her mind and secretly sweetness.
She has read countless people in her life, but only Guo Yang, a young man, makes her heart move and can't see through.
Just like Guo Yang's arrangement before leaving, he suddenly asked Gao Lan to temporarily change the meeting schedule and asked to postpone the meeting for two days, which made Gao Lan a little surprised.
Gao Lan's eyes rolled, and the light in her eyes gradually brightened. No matter what Guo Yang thinks, whether she plays cards according to common sense or not, it doesn't matter to her, because she deeply understands that Guo Yang can't pit her. He is actually a person who values love and righteousness in his bones, which is fundamentally different from these mercenary businessmen in the shopping mall today.
For his friends and his own people, Guo Yang will give up no matter how big his interests are, he will not hesitate. Of course, Guo Yang will never be merciful to enemies and roadblockers. His methods are really as ruthless and ruthless as the autumn wind sweeping away the leaves.
