Chapter 119: A Son's Gift

The next day, Wang Haicong invited Liu Kunlun back to dinner, and the location was set up on a cruise ship.

This boat is a catering cruise ship in the Huaijiang River, there are no other guests in the private room today, the chef and waiter are borrowed from Kempinski by Wang Haicong, there is only one table on the wooden deck, holding a parasol, the scenery on both sides of the river is picturesque, the river flows slowly, and the beautiful violin sound floats soothingly, eating in this scene is a pleasure in itself.

After Liu Kunlun sat down, Wang Haicong smiled and said, "I didn't say hello to you, I invited two other guests, I hope you don't mind." ”

As soon as the words fell, Chun Leek and Xiaohong walked out of the cabin, Chun Leek was dressed as usual, Xiaohong specially wore the newly bought clothes, a cheap embroidered version of jeans bought in Jinqiao Market and a T-shirt embellished with sequins.

The guests sat down, Chun Leek was cautious, Xiaohong was happy, and Wang Haicong was full of sincerity.

"Thank you for your hospitality and for the lunch I prepared so well today. Wang Haicong proudly pointed to the dazzling array of delicacies on the table and said.

The white tablecloth, the bone china plate, and the small piece of food are placed, but the portion is seriously insufficient, which does not meet the definition of a high-end banquet in Xiaohong's heart.

"This is an original cheese made by Italian maturation master Pirino Olice, made with a mixture of cow's, goat's and goat's milk, with black truffles. Wang Haicong looked at everyone with expectant eyes, "Try it." ”

Liu Kunlun and Chun Leek tasted the delicious taste of the matter.

"This bite is not enough to feed the cat. "Xiaohong smashed it, smashed it, smashed it, didn't eat anything special.

"Then try this again, caviar imported from Russia. Wang Haicong kindly recommended to Xiaohong, who didn't wait for him to finish, he picked up the spoon and scooped it into his mouth, took a bite and couldn't help but spit on the ground, shouting: "It's so fishy, it's hard to eat." ”

"You'll want to eat it with a slice of white bread that's specially baked, and a little cream. Wang Haicong demonstrated, "Although it is said that eating it directly is also the best way to eat, it is too luxurious." ”

Can make Wang Haicong feel how expensive the extravagant caviar should be, Xiaohong is not sensible, Chun Leek always understands, Xiaohong's mouthful is not a few hundred yuan, in fact, she far underestimated the price of this caviar.

Wang Haicong also prepared white truffles, which are a specialty of northern Italy, which are not a little higher than black truffles, as well as raw Italian Iberian ham and French foie gras, Norwegian salmon, and German sausages, all of which he found during his travels in Europe.

The banquet was made of French champagne, the wine bottle was placed in a silver ice bucket, the waiter poured the wine and wore white gloves meticulously, all the ingredients for this meal were airlifted, the price was expensive, but it was a pity that the pretty eyes were made for the blind to see, not only Xiaohong and Chun Leek couldn't stand it, but even Liu Kunlun, who had seen the world, couldn't get used to it.

Eating is just an opportunity to communicate, Wang Haicong told Liu Kunlun that October is his father's birthday, which is a very important node.

"You need to prepare a unique birthday present. Wang Haicong said, "Whether you can recognize your ancestors and return to your ancestors, this is a good opportunity." ”

Then Wang Haicong talked about some of his father's preferences, although Wang Huayun is moody, but his hobbies are fixed, he likes cultural relics, works of art and exquisite handicrafts.

"My father is a collector and one of the top cultural relics appraisers in the world, you have limited financial resources, it is not wise to buy cultural relics, and I can't give you too good advice, I want to say that true feelings are the most touching to people's hearts. ”

After the meal, on the way back, Liu Kunlun asked Xiaohong how the meal was.

"I'm hungry, it's better than the spicy tang on the street. Xiaohong commented, "It's not delicious, it's not enough, rich people are too stingy, it's not good to get some ribs braised pork or something, big carp and lobster are okay, clean up some weird rags."

"Do you know how much this meal costs?"

"I estimate thousands. "In Xiaohong's world, a thousand meals is the limit.

Liu Kunlun couldn't estimate the price of the meal, but he felt that it would not be less than 100,000, and the money for chartering a boat and inviting a band alone was not a small number.

The discussion of this meal did not go deeper, and Chun Yun took the initiative to help Liu Kunlun come up with an idea of what gift to give Wang Huayun.

"Your biological father is a rich man, so you have to play to your strengths and avoid your weaknesses and give something special, such as something you made yourself. Chun Leek's suggestion was very accurate, and Liu Kunlun nodded frequently.

"It's not all parents who buy birthday gifts for their children now, how can they turn it around and give gifts to their fathers?" Xiaohong said again.

Liu Kunlun was speechless.

Sent them back to the noodle shop, Liu Kunlun went to find Professor Shao, Xiaohong continued to work on the dishes, she sang happily and washed the dishes, and suddenly asked Chun Leek: "My sister, did you say that Wang Dashao had taken a fancy to me, and he had to invite me to dinner." ”

Chun Leek said: "You think too much. ”

……

On the windowsill in Professor Shao's office, there was a new pot of Junzi orchid, and the old gentleman said while spraying the flowers and leaves with a small watering can: "If you want to say what your father likes, I really don't know, when we were in Qinghai together, he could be happy for several days if he gave him a barley dough, and then he was rehabilitated and released. I remember that at the beginning of 85, a person spent 140,000 yuan to buy a pot of Junzi orchid, and 140,000 in 85 years was enough to buy 40 taels of gold, and the cost was more expensive than gold. ”

Liu Kunlun nodded: "Presumably you also like Junzilan." ”

Shao Wenyuan said: " I also like, but don't fry this thing, a pot of flowers should have its own value, but the feelings of the flowers are priceless, I carefully cultivated the Junzi orchid, he wrote to say that he liked, I gave him without saying a word, and then we broke off, I asked the flowers back, speaking of which you and this flower is also fate, but it is a bad fate, I have two pots of flowers after you have seen them are dead, hehe, just kidding, but fortunately, they are only bred by branches, the mother plant is still in my home, that is more than 20 years of treasure, I can't let you see again。 ”

Liu Kunlun asked, "What about this pot?"

"This pot was given to me by a student, and it has nothing to do with those. Shao Wenyuan said.

Liu Kunlun wondered if he should get a pot of Junzi Orchid and give it to Wang Huayun, but he quickly dispelled this idea, this gift was too conventional to attract attention.

So what kind of gift can be ingenious and win favor, and more importantly, control the cost, he fell into thought.

……

In September, the Gangdong Air Show is becoming more and more powerful, and billboards have appeared on skyscrapers in the city center, on buses, and on the advertising pages of major newspapers and magazines, which is not only a grand event in the aviation industry, but also a carnival carnival.

The world-renowned flight aerobatic team will not talk about aerobatics, but also with the strong assistance of the Air Force, static display of model aircraft and fighters, celebrities joining, luxury leather help, luxury cars and motorcycles, beautiful car film is an indispensable one, and there is a BBQ outdoor barbecue conference on the spot, which is desirable to think about.

The most important thing is that this is an official endorsement of the event, which is printed on the brochure and invitation letter, the guiding unit is the Jiangdong Provincial Government, the organizer is the Jinjiang Municipal Government and Jiangdong Airlines, the organizer is Kunlun Real Estate and Jianghang Flight Training Base, and the co-organizers include the Civil Aviation Administration, the Air Traffic Management Bureau, the Air Force Staff Department of the Military Region, the Provincial Tourism Bureau, the Civil Aviation Flight Academy, etc.

The specific organizer is Kunlun Real Estate, a freshly baked real estate company that has not been established for a year can actually hold such a big event, this is simply the best advertisement, spending 10 million on advertising can not achieve this effect.

But in fact, Kunlun Real Estate is just a leather bag company with a registered capital of less than 10 million, including the chairman of the board of directors, and the real people are all Wang Haicong's subordinates, who contact all parties, build venues, coordinate relationships, and hire models.

In private, Li Ming said to Liu Kunlun: "People have cut off their beards, but we have nothing to say, Hai Cong is doing this authentically, he does the work, we will gain fame and fortune, but we lost for a while in front of the big boss." ”

Liu Kunlun also felt convinced of losing.

During the summer vacation, the brothers and sisters of the Wang family got together again alone, Liu Kunlun, Lin Haiying, Wang Haicong, three people with three surnames, but the family affection in the bones is constantly cut, talking about birthday gifts, Lin Haiying suggested that Liu Kunlun sword out of the edge and draw a picture for his father.

"You don't need to be realistic, just draw a scene that flashes in your mind, and it will definitely shine. Lin Haiying said that she has graduated from the Central Academy of Fine Arts, and now she is facing two choices, one is to stay in school for graduate school, and the other is to study abroad, but she is reluctant to go to her mother and does not want to go anywhere.

Liu Kunlun thought so, wondering what kind of work to paint.

……

Finally came to the opening day of the air show, everything went according to schedule, the provincial and municipal governments and Jiangdong Airlines have given strong support, the streets are full of air show posters, star VIPs came one after another, aviation enthusiasts and star chasers from all over the country have filled the hotels in Omijiang, and it is difficult to find a ticket for the air show.

The main venue of the air show is Liu Kunlun's training base for learning to fly, in just two months, a temporary venue and viewing platform have been built here, colorful flags are fluttering, music is bursting, there are activities everywhere, there are famous car shows, there are motorcycle competitions, car models and airplane models compete for beauty, there are cold drinks when you are thirsty, there are outdoor barbecues when you are hungry, many people come in private cars, set up a tent on the grass outside the base, and the whole family lies down to watch aerobatics, but it is also comfortable.

Wang Haicong invited many celebrities to help, and there was also the sponsorship of Breitling, a professional manufacturer of aviation timers, and the atmosphere of the entire air show was high, but the most shocking mysterious guest was not a star, but Wang Huayun.

Wang Huayun has a prominent identity, he is a representative of Hong Kong's wealthy businessmen who invested in the mainland in the eighties, and was once elected vice chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference.

He came on a private plane, a low-key Boeing 737, the exterior decoration is similar to that of an ordinary river airliner, but the interior is unique, as for why the river airline livery is used, this is because Wang Huayun is actually the largest private shareholder of Jiang Airlines.

After the plane landed, the party and government leaders went to the airport to pick up the plane, and after meeting in the airport VIP lounge, Wang Huayun took a helicopter to the air show site, and only then did the news of the arrival of the big boss be announced on a small scale.

Although he got the news in advance, Liu Kunlun was still a little apprehensive, this was the first time he had met his biological father face to face, and he didn't know how to face this strangest relative.
