Chapter 272: Beautiful Things, Expensive
Enter from the east gate of the Yanjing Workers' Stadium, take a sign with a faint red light to climb the terrace ladder, and walk up the inconspicuous black and gray wall to reach the "Wu Cuisine".
Most of the restaurants in the Yanjing Workers' Stadium can be described as local tyrants, and there are also those who are not rich and those who are not rich. Oriori falls into the latter category. Although it has not been opened for a long time, in the Japanese food ecosystem in Beijing, the pricing is considered to be the top of the pyramid. But you also need to make an appointment a day or two in advance to get a seat.
However, with the name of Feng Lun, the landlord of the capital, it is not difficult for Ren Pingsheng to book a private room, and he is now sitting in the most luxurious box of Wu cuisine with Feng Lun, waiting for the arrival of the main guests tonight.
Since the end of the unsuccessful visit by the State Development Bank, the Hanhai delegation has gone their separate ways to meet Wen Yi, the vice president in charge of loans for shantytown renovation projects.
The way Ren Pingsheng is looking for is, of course, the legendary gentle female anchor lover, Guan Huanting, who once hosted the dialogue with the real estate boss of Cheung Kong Graduate School of Business.
In the matter of how to contact Guan Huanting, Ren Pingsheng spent a lot of brains.
He doesn't have any deep connections in Yanjing, and he has only been in contact with Wei Chenggang, but it's basically impossible to hope for him, because Ren Pingsheng once scolded him head-on in the business school class, and he hit him very badly, with Ren Pingsheng's understanding of Wei Chenggang, this person is not a magnanimous person, it's good if he doesn't grudge against him, it's too difficult to ask him to do things.
But Wei Chenggang doesn't count, Ren Pingsheng also has other ways to get close to Guan Huanting, although it is a little circuitous, but the effect may be better.
That was another real estate tycoon in the conversation that day - Pan Shiyi.
Although the industry he is in and the relationship between China Television is not very large, Ren Pingsheng knows that he has maintained a good friendship and interaction with Guan Huanting for a long time, and after Guan Huanting was in trouble in his previous life, Pan is also one of the few public figures who will stand up and speak for her.
If you want to get close to Guan Huanting, you need Pan Shiyi to introduce you, and if you want Pan Shiyi to sell this face, Ren Pingsheng can't do it himself, but someone can definitely do it.
This person is Feng Lun, as two of the former "Six Gentlemen of Wantong", Feng Lun and Pan Shiyi have decades of old friendship, although they have experienced separation and merger during the period, and now their career development is also different, but the two still have something in common on many topics, and they are in the same real estate circle in Beijing, and the relationship is still very good.
At this time, the role of Cheung Kong Graduate School of Business EMBA is reflected, Feng Yan really gave his old classmates face, he came forward to find Pan Shiyi, and then Pan Shiyi invited Guan Huanting, and this line was just set.
Pan Shiyi seems to be quite floating, but he is still quite reliable in doing things.
didn't let Feng Yan and Ren Pingsheng wait longer, so he and Guan Huanting arrived at Wu Li's box a little later than the agreed time.
When Guan Huanting walked in, the men present were all dazzled.
The upper body is a light and close-fitting black cashmere sweater, a large gray scarf draped over the shoulders, revealing the double-ring platinum necklace around her neck, a black and white corrugated wool skirt wraps around her slender waist, and the black shiny patent leather long pointed toe boots are exposed under the wool skirt, and the pointed toe boots have a 5 cm high heel, making her already slender legs even more proud.
She wore a light makeup today, her shoulder-length hair was dyed brown and casually draped over her shoulders, her white and round earlobes were wearing two thumb-sized ruby studs, and there was a faint reserved smile on her dignified face, standing with Pan Shiyi, who was half a head shorter than her, and the two talked while walking, obviously having a good relationship.
When introducing each other, Ren Pingsheng gently shook Guan Huanting's outstretched hand, her fingers were very long and thin, but they were very cold to the touch, and there was a lack of blood-colored white.
Obviously, Guan Huanting did not have any impression of Ren Pingsheng, when Feng Yan introduced Ren Pingsheng's company and his identity at Cheung Kong Graduate School of Business, she only politely expressed her approval, and only when she heard Feng Yan mention the interesting story of Ren Pingsheng's debate with many celebrities in Cambridge, she was slightly interested, and only then did she take a look at Ren Pingsheng.
The sushi is served quickly, and after everyone is seated, they are quickly served fried abalone with persimmon seeds, grilled redthroat fish with mullet roe, and grilled lobster with sea urchin, and the sake served with the sake of the Daiksai is Daiginjo, which is a two-cut and three-point junmai daiginjo from the Dassai industry.
Feng Yan and Pan Shiyi obviously rarely drank this kind of sake, and when they heard the name of this wine, they felt strange, Ren Pingsheng raised the wine bottle, pointed to the label on it, and said:
"Sake is a fermented sake made from rice and natural mineral water, and the difference between the grades of sake is the process of making rice, in addition to the mineral water used in the production area. “
"The first process in the sake making process is to shave the rice, that is, to grind off the outside of the rice, leaving the white core in the middle, and the amount of grinding off is calculated according to the percentage, and the remaining value is the number of rice polishing steps of the sake, which determines the style of sake. ”
"Two cuts and three points means that 77% of the whole grain of rice is ground off, leaving only 23%. Cutting in two and three is the most delicate of all processes, and the sake made from this rice has a stronger flavor and a better taste in the mouth. ”
Ren Pingsheng's sake tasting was very popular, Feng Pan and the others present listened to it with relish, and even Guan Huanting's eyes when she looked at Ren Pingsheng became a lot special, she raised the wine glass in front of her, lightly opened her lips, took a sip, and said with a smile:
"The centrifugal force used to rotate at high speed separates the sake from the sake brew, and the taste is purer than the sake that is traditionally pressed and filtered in a cloth bag. In the mouth, you can feel just the right amount of acidity, aromatic and mellow flavor, moist and dense, and a hint of fruity aroma. “
Everyone present tasted the sake in their cups when they heard this, and it really had a refreshing and clear fruity aroma as Guan Huanting said.
Feng Yan was surprised:
"I smell like nectarines, citrus, bananas. ”
Pan Shiyi closed his eyes, shook his head and said:
"No, I smell like pineapple, peach, pear, apricot blossom. ”
The two argued, and Ren Pingsheng hurriedly came out to play a round and said:
"The purer the production process, the more complex the flavors produced, and it is normal to taste a variety of fruits. ”
Only then did Feng Pan and the others settle the argument about the aroma of wine, and Feng Yan said strangely:
"Guan Meiren, how do you know what centrifugal force this bottle of otter sacrifice is used to separate it?"
Guan Huanting smiled slightly, picked up the wine bottle at hand, and pointed at the four Chinese characters on the label with a slender white finger:
"It says that everything marked with the words 'telecentric separation' is produced using this technology. ”
Her fingers are slender and delicate, and her delicately trimmed nails are painted with burgundy nail polish, which is combined with the dark green bottle of sake and the smooth white fingers to create an inexplicable beauty.
Pan Shiyi clapped his hands vigorously and praised:
"Guan Meiren is worthy of being the first talented woman in China Television, even if she is familiar with astronomy and geography, I didn't expect you to even know the technology of winemaking, it's amazing, it's amazing. ”
Guan Huanting accepted this praise calmly, and she smiled slightly:
"I just happened to pass by the brewery of the Dassai brewery when I went to Japan for a cultural program not long ago, so I asked them a lesson or two before I could make a fuss in front of you. ”
Feng Yan said at this time:
"Mr. Ren is also very powerful, you can see the craftsmanship of this wine at a glance, have you also gone to Japan for a cultural visit? ”
Ren Pingsheng shrugged and said:
"I just happened to have some research on Japanese culture, and I got an axe in front of Miss Guan. ”
Ren Pingsheng looked at Guan Huanting as he spoke, and happened to look at Shangguan's eyes, and the two looked at each other and smiled, as if they had found common ground in each other.
Of course, things are not as simple as Ren Pingsheng said, in order to perform today's play well, Ren Pingsheng specially investigated Guan Huanting's background information.
Guan Huanting's family has a deep relationship with Japan, her grandfather graduated from Waseda University in Japan, is a Japanese expert in the last century; her father is a professor of Japanese literature at Yenching University; she herself graduated from a Japanese major, and once planned to study at Waseda University, and then joined China Television The first program was also "Learning Japanese Songs", and the first famous program was an interview with Japanese anti-war activist Toshiro in Japanese.
Because of these factors, Ren Pingsheng judged that Guan Huanting had a deep understanding of Japanese culture, so he chose the location of this dinner in this sushi known for its pure taste.
Of course, the bottle of "two cuts and three points" of Dasai sake was also specially named by Ren Pingsheng, at that time there were very few people in China who knew about this wine, and Dassai sake really became famous in China, and it was not until the Japanese Prime Minister **** that it was entertained as a state banquet wine and presented to dignitaries from various countries, before it became the top grade in the eyes of domestic Japanese sake lovers.
At this point in time, Ren Pingsheng's ability to talk eloquently about the origin of "two cuts and three points" is enough to attract Guan Huanting's attention, and this also lays a certain foundation for him to get closer to this beautiful host.
With this foundation, coupled with the atmosphere brought about by this bottle of "two cuts and three points", the conversation between the four of them after that was much smoother.
Of course, the topic mainly revolves around Guan Huanting.
When it comes to Guan Huanting, Pan Shiyi has a lot of words, he seems to have a characteristic hobby for beauties, that is, he likes to take pictures of them.
The beauty photos taken by Pan Shiyi are not the kind of private photos taken for the purpose of lust, but regular portrait photography.
Although his skills are not very strong, the machines in his hands are the best, and the subjects are all first-class beauties, so the imaging effect will not be bad.
Talking about coming over a little late today, Pan Shiyi immediately raised the camera in his hand to apologize:
"I'm sorry, I wanted to arrive early, but it's rare to invite us Guan Meiren, so I pretended to be public and took a few photos of her, so it was late. ”
Feng Yan smacked his lips and said:
"Lao Pan, you are not kind, you took a photo of a beauty, and you don't share it with us. ”
Pan Shiyi was obviously familiar with Feng Yan's speaking style, and he grinned with big white teeth and said:
"I invite this beautiful woman to you, you can enjoy it as much as you like, why do you want photos?"
Seeing that they were arguing interestingly, Guan Huanting couldn't help but smile, revealing two rows of white and neat teeth, and said:
"Mr. Feng, Mr. Pan, both of you are frequent visitors to the financial channel, and there will be many opportunities for us to meet in the future, so let's concentrate on eating today, okay." ”
Feng Lun borrowed the topic to play, and he specifically pointed to Ren Pingsheng and said:
"Guan Meiren, the real estate I am engaged in with Lao Pan is a sunset industry, and if you want to talk about the prospects for future development, it still depends on Mr. Ren. Mr. Ren's universal game will soon be listed in the United States, and the chances of him being on the financial channel in the future will definitely be much more than our old brothers. ”
Ren Pingsheng secretly praised Feng Yan, this big brother's method of praising people is really good, and he unconsciously raised Ren Pingsheng's status a lot, and also made him show his face in front of Guan Huanting.
He didn't forget the purpose of tonight, and took this opportunity to raise his glass and smile at Guan Huanting:
"Miss Guan, our company's main product is an online game with traditional culture as the material, in order to further expand the popularity of the product, we plan to combine brand marketing, and ZOSE to do an art program that combines classical music and traditional culture, the main purpose is to spread traditional culture, introduce classical music knowledge, the host of this program except you, I can't think of a more suitable person. ”
"I wonder if Miss Kwan would like to host this show for us. We do not interfere with the selection and filming of the program, and there is no upper limit on the cost of the program, because I believe that Miss Kwan will be able to make a very in-depth program. I'm looking forward to your participation. ”
Ren Pingsheng's program was originally tailor-made for Guan Huanting, he knew that Guan Huanting was not from a broadcasting school, and she was not strong in voice and intonation, but what made her stand out in China Television was that in addition to her own strong appearance and height, it was more about her wide range of knowledge and intellectual temperament, and the best way to give full play to her strengths was this kind of cultural and artistic special program.
The hydrangea thrown by Ren Pingsheng can not only allow Guan Huanting to show her strengths, but also integrate her lover's Wen Yi's favorite classical music into it, achieving the effect of killing two birds with one stone.
In order to achieve this effect, Ren Pingsheng is ready to invest a lot of money, even if he loses, it doesn't matter, the key is to be able to use this project to catch the line of Guan Huanting and Wen Yi and solve the current dilemma in front of him, which is the most important.
Sure enough, Guan Huanting was very interested in Ren Pingsheng's proposal, she discussed the production direction of the program with Ren Pingsheng on the spot, and left Ren Pingsheng with contact information, and invited him to visit the TV station to see the production of the program.
The dinner ended in a happy and happy atmosphere, and after sending Pan Shiyi and Guan Huanting to their respective cars, Ren Pingsheng shook Feng Yan's hand gratefully, and said sincerely:
"Brother, thank you this time, if there is anything in the future, just talk to the younger brother. ”
Feng Yan is an atmospheric person, he patted Ren Pingsheng's back, and said earnestly:
"Xiao Ren, brother wants to ask you, are you interested in Guan Meiren. ”
Ren Pingsheng knew that his behavior just now had misunderstood Feng Yan, but he didn't blame Feng Yan, the big gift he gave just now cost a lot of money, and it was clearly to praise Guan Huanting, which seemed to be no different from those coal bosses who spent money to make movies for their second wife, but Ren Pingsheng's methods were more elegant.
However, Ren Pingsheng's purpose in doing this was just to get close to Wen Yi, but he didn't want to reveal too much to Feng Yan to know, so he had to say vaguely:
"I just want to get to know some people through her and help me with my future career. ”
Feng Yan obviously didn't believe Ren Pingsheng's words, he shook his head and said:
"This Guan beauty, beauty is very beautiful, but the price of this beauty is very high. ”
Ren Pingsheng was silent, he remembered the relevant rumors in his previous life, and also remembered her sad ending in the future.
Feng Yan's words were like prophecies, and he accurately hit Guan Huanting's future life path.
It's just that it was a fixed number in the previous life.
Will this be the case in this life?
Feng Yan thought that Ren Pingsheng did not listen to his words, and continued to persuade:
"Although my brother doesn't know much about women, you see that the car she drives is a BMW 7 Series, and the bag in her hand is the Hermes, and the ones she wears must be famous brands, so with the host's salary, how can she afford it. ”
"In this world, everything can be priced, and beautiful things are especially expensive. Brother, it's normal for young people to be romantic, but you must be cautious with women. ”
Feng Yan's words were quite philosophical, and his earnest reminder also moved Ren Pingsheng very much, this big brother really cares about himself, unlike other people in the business school, who just make friends for the sake of profit.
Ren Pingsheng held Feng Yan's hand very seriously and said:
"Brother, I know, I'll be careful. Thank you. ”
Feng Yan is an old man, he saw that although Ren Pingsheng said this, he was not really convinced in his heart, but he knew that it was useless to say more at this time, so he had to shake his head, patted Ren Pingsheng's hand and said:
"You are very capable, and you will be better than our generation in the future. Just remember, be careful of making mistakes with women. ”
Watching Feng Lun's car go away, Ren Pingsheng chewed Feng Lun's last sentence repeatedly, and there was always a knot in his heart that could not be untied.
