Chapter 87, Invite Uncle to Dinner (2

The uncle put the money away, the three of them walked out of the campus, got into a taxi and walked back, and the uncle asked, "Where is this going?"

Li Ya smiled: "Didn't I invite you to a big meal, Peace Hotel, I guarantee that you eat and drink well." ”

"Peace Hotel!" the uncle asked happily, Li Ya nodded, he smiled, "I have long heard of the name of the Peace Hotel, this is the biggest and best hotel in Shanghai, I finally have the opportunity to try the Peace Hotel!"

Li Ya said with a smile: "There is an opportunity, we should not leave Shanghai in the near future, if you want to eat, come to us, bring a few friends together, it is also lively." ”

"Yes, most of our classmates are poor, they can eat two good meals, they can save a lot of food stamps, where to find such a good thing. The uncle smiled.

The car arrived at the door of the hotel, opened the fare, and the three of them went to the hall, and Li Ya asked the waiter to come and order.

When the menu was brought, Li Ya handed it to his uncle and said, "Order whatever you want." ”

The uncle flipped through the menu and sighed, "It's too expensive! These two or three dishes are enough for me to eat for a month!"

Li Ya smiled: "It's actually very cheap." What kind of place is this? The biggest and best hotel in Shanghai! There are not many such hotels in the whole country. Even if the price is cut by half, if you think about it, how many people in China can afford to eat and live? In fact, most of them here are for foreign guests. If you want me to say, it doesn't matter if the price is doubled, what people have is money, they don't care about spending more, they care about face. Especially for those rare specialties, it doesn't matter if the price is several times higher, it may still be in short supply. ”

"I've never seen a high price that people still like. The uncle said, "Unless it's a fool." ”

"Take it for yourself. Li Ya said, "When you go back and brag to everyone, you say what is the best dish you have ever eaten in Shanghai, the name, taste, and rarity of the dish for a long time. What can be delicious at this price? If you say 12 percent! Good fellow, a few months' salary is not enough for a dish, and everyone can't imagine how delicious that dish is, and the gods in the sky are afraid that it will only be like this! Looking at the envious eyes of everyone, how much face do you have?"

"It seems so. The uncle said.

"So, the best of these dishes add several times the price of him. When people eat it, they also have the topic of bragging? I have a few hundred dollars for a dish, don't look at a few hundred dollars is not a lot here, but a kilogram of flour there is only four corners of the yuan, and it is only a dozen cents when converted into dollars. But the taste is so good! It's worth it, and the next time I have the chance, I'll have to taste it. Li Ya described the braggart scene, and the waiter next to him laughed.

I accompanied my uncle to have a good meal, and then took my uncle to the shopping point to have a look, and finally accompanied him to buy a few clothes before sending him back to school.

The roommate in the same dormitory saw Zhang Cheng coming in with a large bag and a small bag, and asked, "What are these things you are carrying? There are so many big bags and small bags!"

Zhang Cheng finally squeezed in the door and said, "Clothes." ”

"Why do you buy so many clothes?" asked a few people as they rushed to open their bags.

One hand was fast, took it out and compared it and said, "It's very beautiful! The material is also good." ”

Another said: "Of course it looks good, this is a foreign product, and you can only buy it with foreign exchange coupons." "The person who speaks knows more than anyone else.

"Foreign goods?" When a few people heard this, they asked Zhang Cheng, "You are usually reluctant to buy meat, where did you get the foreign exchange coupons?"

Zhang Cheng put down all the bags and said, "Today, my nephew came to see me and took me to buy clothes." ”

"Your nephew?"

"How old are you?"

"Can I buy you this kind of clothes?"

"He is an overseas Chinese returning to China to visit relatives?"

After asking so many questions, Zhang Cheng smiled bitterly and said, "It's the one I told you before, called Li Ya." ”

"I know, your eldest sister's son was admitted to college with you. ”

"It's him, he hasn't studied anymore, although he has been abroad, his household registration is still in China, he can't be regarded as an overseas Chinese, but his fiancée is. Zhang Cheng said, "Recently, they came to Shanghai to have something to do, and they happened to start school and came to see me." ”

"He's rich, he's bought you so many things. ”

"It's rich, right?" Zhang Cheng thought for a while and said, "They ran the first joint venture factory reported in the newspapers recently. ”

"They co-founded the joint venture? That's really rich! The newspapers have introduced that they have invested more than 6 million yuan. If you think about it, that's six million, or dollars, that's a lot of money!" one of the roommates sighed.

"According to the national exchange rate, it is about 24 million, and according to the black market price, it may be 50 or 60 million. Another well-informed one said.

"So many! Aren't that big capitalists?"

Zhang Cheng said disdainfully: "It's also a big capitalist." The really rich big capitalists, billions and tens of billions of assets, are still dollars. How many is he exceeding? They set up factories to show their support for the country, guide overseas Chinese to return to China to invest, and help with development. Besides, at the beginning of the year, he donated $10 million to the country. ”

It's hard to say, people are actively helping the development of the country, and they have done so much, if they still use the capitalists' sleeves to set them, it is a bit of a strong argument.

"Also, if you want to buy any periodicals in the future, you can write a book list and give it to them, and they will arrange for someone to bring them from abroad. Zhang Cheng said.

"This is good! This is good!" said a few people laughed. Foreign periodicals are no less attractive to them than opium.

"In addition, they are going to stay in Shanghai for a while, if you want to go out and improve your life, you can go with me and have a few good meals. Zhang Cheng continued.

"Better your life, this is okay!" said the youngest. Not only is he the youngest, but he is also the smallest, and his body is also very thin, although everyone is yellow and thin at this time, but he is even more than others. It is the age of eating long meals, but where is there so much money and food stamps for him to eat, every month the school subsidy, he tries to save as much as possible, send it back to his family, and there are three younger siblings in the family to go to school.

Zhang Cheng said with a smile: "You are indispensable for eating, and this time they gave me a lot of money and food stamps." Especially Xiao Liu, you are the youngest and the shortest, you usually eat more, and it will be troublesome if you are hungry and sick, and it costs more money to treat the disease. ”

"Brother Cheng, I usually take so much care of you, what will I pay back in the future?" Xiao Liu was a little uncomfortable.

Zhang Cheng comforted: "What's this, everyone can become classmates and roommates, what a lot of fate is this." Besides, you study hard, and your salary is quite a lot after graduation, so it's good to invite us to a meal when the time comes. ”

Xiao Liu nodded vigorously and said, "Okay, I'll invite you to eat at the Peace Hotel then." ”

"Forget about the Peace Hotel. Zhang Cheng said with a smile: "Today, my nephew invited me at the Peace Hotel, the price is too expensive, more than ten or twenty yuan for a dish." Just find a restaurant, and it doesn't cost much to eat a table of big fish and meat, so it's affordable. ”

When everyone heard that Zhang Cheng was eating at the Peace Hotel, they all asked how it was. Zhang Cheng gave a detailed introduction, and everyone drooled, Zhang Cheng smiled: "Why don't you take you to eat tomorrow?"

Here they were discussing and eating, but the waiter who ordered Li Ya and them today was talking to a few sisters about Li Ya's high arguments when ordering. Everyone found out that the rich people looked at the price of the restaurant's dishes in this way, and people didn't care whether it was affordable, but whether they had face.

That's why luxury goods are so expensive, and there are so many people who buy them. Anyway, what you want is the best and most expensive, unique, and you really don't have the financial resources to afford it, and you have to take a step back to be expensive and have face.

"In this case, you can suggest that the hotel increase the price. A sister said.

"It's not okay to increase the price at will, at least you have to talk about credibility. The other disagreed with the other person's idea.

"Anyway, you can tell the leader, as for how they do it, that's something they think about. Another said.

Li Ya didn't know what was going on on both sides, but when his uncle Zhang Cheng went back, the roommates in their dormitory would definitely ask, and if they were okay tomorrow, they might come over with their uncle. Anyway, if Li Ya is replaced, if there is such an opportunity, he will definitely come to the tooth sacrifice.
