Chapter 69: A Dinner
After a busy day, Pan Li proposed to invite Li Yadong and the two to dinner in the evening.
After this transaction is really landed, he will have at least a few thousand yuan in his account, so naturally he can't be stingy with a dinner.
Moreover, in his opinion, it is not harmful to have a good relationship with this mysterious background and wealthy Boss Li.
The three of them drove around Haikou City for a long time, and it was surprising that in the depths of this slightly withered city, there was actually a very rare Western restaurant in this era.
"Boss Li, how is it? The whole Haikou is unique, let's open foreign meat tonight. Pan Li smiled, and could see that he was ready for heavy bleeding.
"Comrade Xiao Pan has a heart. Li Yadong smiled back, but to be honest, except for French, Western food is difficult to get into his eyes.
In his opinion, most Western countries do not understand food, and they are far from the breadth and profundity of Chinese food.
According to Pan Lili, the owners of the car business are basically the owners of the car business, or the rich people who come to the island to buy cars.
The layout inside is not splendid, but it is also much more magnificent than ordinary hotels, and the tone of the lights is obviously deliberately adjusted, slightly dim, but just right, covering up some things that are not visible.
The "Hailan Automobile Reselling Incident" actually has a strong "allegory". In order to develop the economy of a region, many deficiencies in the system gradually fail to keep up with the needs of economic development. The gradual character of China's reforms is becoming increasingly apparent, and it is beginning to enter a long gray area.
The area of the restaurant is not small, not only the hall, but also many private rooms, when Li Yadong passed by the door of a private room, he saw a stack of cash on the wine table through the gap, and estimated that there should be forty or fifty thousand.
In this way, it is clear that this is not just a place to eat, but more like a "salon", a concentration camp for cars.
The guests are as they please, and Pan Li did not ask for a private room. Seeing him flipping left and right with a slightly "luxurious" menu, he is obviously not familiar with this place, and it is even very likely that he is here for the first time.
"Boss Li, let's do it. ”
Li Yadong also had a menu in front of him, but he didn't open it, he nodded with a smile when he heard the words, after all, the menu was not deliberately disgusting and made in English, and there were not many types of dishes, such as a clam scrambled egg is very strange.
After obtaining the consent of the two, they simply ordered three steaks, plus a bottle of "French red wine". Yes, there is not even a name on the menu, or it is called French wine.
But if it's really imported, it doesn't matter how it came from, it's rare in this era. If you can drink Bordeaux, it will be an unexpected joy, and Li Yadong ordered it with this mentality.
The waiter didn't ask how ripe the steak was, and took the menu and left, which made the little expectation that had just risen in Li Yadong's heart fall apart in an instant.
As expected, the steak is fully cooked, the firewood is not good, the red wine is a brand that he has never seen, anyway, he can't understand the foreign language on the label, Li Yadong tasted it, not to mention the wine itself, the taste alone is very problematic.
You must know that the current temperature of Hailan is 234 degrees, this is still because of the night, the wine is hot in the mouth, can the taste be good?
Originally, Li Yadong shouldn't have been so picky, but after all, he was dining in a high-end restaurant, and the standard was always higher, and he was disappointed.
"Sir, is there a problem with the steak or the drink?"
A woman with bright red lips and a black dress walked over.
Li Yadong looked sideways, and couldn't help but be slightly stunned, the main reason is that this woman's face is too "modern", it is difficult for you to see a woman in the 80s who wears exquisite makeup, wears a well-cut dress, and even has a natural hanging hair that has a sense of "air bangs" in the future.
"Oh...... Somewhat. He replied.
At this time, Pan Li leaned into his ear and whispered, saying that this woman's name was "Sister Yan" and she was the owner of this Western restaurant.
Li Yadong showed a clear expression, and guessed from his expression that this woman was not simple, and she may not be married, otherwise it would be more appropriate to call the boss lady.
"Oh? Yan Weixian looked at him in surprise, this was the first time she had seen a guest eat only one bite of steak and wipe his mouth when the red wine touched his lips.
"The main steak is too chai, with the taste of the Chinese people, it is more suitable to make it medium-rare, as for red wine, presumably the expensive restaurant should have a refrigerator, if it can be refrigerated to about 16 degrees, the taste is naturally better. ”
Yan Weixian's eyes couldn't help but light up after hearing his words, connoisseur, could it be that he also came back from abroad?
Li Yadong said that she naturally knows what she grew up in a foreign country, but knowing it clearly and doing it are two different things. It's too much trouble, but the guests don't mind. For example, the guest next to this gentleman who dislikes knives and forks is too troublesome and has already started directly, where will he feel bad?
"It's our misdemeanor, sir, please wait, I'll tell the kitchen to make you another steak." ”
Yan Weixian smiled apologetically, like a spring breeze, I have to say that this woman has a lot of taste, looking like she looks twenty-seven or eighteen, with a plump body, fair skin, and her key delicate facial features are a bit of a mixed race, she is indeed a rare beauty.
"As for this bottle of red wine, if you don't mind, I'll take it over and chill it now?"
"Good. Li Yadong glanced at her, his heart was much more relaxed, the taste of the dishes was not mentioned for the time being, this service alone could make him re-examine this restaurant, no wonder the business was so good, the beautiful boss was very good at being a person.
After the seven-ripe steak and chilled red wine were re-seated, Yan Weixian also came over to ask, and Li Yadong smiled and expressed his gratitude.
Full of wine and food, Pan Li called the waiter to settle the bill, a total of twenty-three yuan, the main bottle of red wine is very expensive, Li Yadong saw that he changed a few pockets and took out money, and all the tickets he took out were loose tickets, and handed Jiang Tengfei a look in a timely manner.
Jiang Tengfei understood, handed the waiter twenty-five yuan, and took advantage of the situation to charge the uncle, "Don't look for it." ”
When the waiter with a dull expression heard this, he suddenly had a smile on his face, no need to look for it, which means that it is a tip, and he thanked him again and again. However, Pan Li looked embarrassed, "This ...... How embarrassing is this, I said that I would have a treat. ”
"It's okay Comrade Xiao Pan......" Li Yadong patted him on the shoulder, "Actually, we also want to thank you, the shops are closed to help us run errands, one by one, next time, when the car is sold and the commission is taken, we will be invited again." ”
"That'...... That's fine. Pan Li scratched his head and smiled.
There was nothing to say all night, and the next day was another busy day, but several departments ran down, and the red envelopes prepared in advance played a huge role, and a set of procedures was finally completed.
Returning to Toyota's temporary station in the automobile market again, the rest of the matter was much simpler, a total of 57,800 US dollars was handed over to the other party in person, and a copy of the "Purchase List of Imported Goods" issued by Toyota was obtained, as well as a foreign exchange receipt.
"The next thing is to wait, about 20 days to a month or so. Pan Li saw that the matter was finally done, and he also took a big reassurance.
"Doesn't that mean I'm going to stay here for a month?" Jiang Tengfei knew his responsibilities before he came, but after walking around in the past two days, he found that there was really no fun on this island, and it seemed that he was tired of seeing too much except for cars or cars.
"Okay, complain less, let you stay here, and you don't have to work, and the salary is still paid, which is a good thing that no one else can think of. Li Yadong glanced at him angrily.
Calculating the time, the progress is not slow, he expected about ten days, now it is only five days, and it will take three days to go back, which means that he can stay on the island for two days if he wants.
After thinking for a moment, he said, "That's it, I'll take you to Sanya tomorrow to have fun." ”
"That's a good dare!" Jiang Tengfei suddenly stopped being depressed.
