Chapter 272: We Are Different
At noon, Guan Qiu invited Pu Ruo to lunch in a special Sichuan restaurant.
After dinner, if Park wanted to go back to work, he was dragged by Guan Qiu to a newly opened high-end steam restaurant in the suburbs to take a bath.
The bathing process was skipped, anyway, if Pu Ruo didn't cooperate, if Guan Qiu hadn't been dragging him, he would have run away, and then went to a teahouse on the old street to drink tea.
In the afternoon, there are not too many pedestrians on the old street, the warm sunlight spreads through the window lattice on the bronze solid wood square table, and the lotus leaves in the lotus pond outside the window are accompanied by the gentle breeze through the hall, which is comfortable and leisurely.
Guan Qiu took the hot teacup to his mouth and sniffed it gently, and said with a smile: "In this situation, you should write a poem, what do you think?"
Pu Ruo's goosebumps rose from Guan Qiu's half-literate words, and she always felt that he didn't have any good intentions when he dragged herself out. The good thing is that it is tea and not wine.
"Ah, let's give all Yahoo's email business to Xingyu Technology, can you tell me about your plan now?"
"It doesn't matter what mailbox you don't have, it doesn't matter. Guan Qiu said casually, his eyes crossed the porcelain cup on the table, the crisp tea leaves floated and fell in the mist, and he thought of something and smiled: "Hey, you have been in the United States, do you know what punk health is?"
Pu Ruo was a little speechless by his leapfrog thinking, took a sip from his cup, and protested with silence.
Guan Qiu ignored her annoyed expression and said to herself: "The characteristic of punk health is to save oneself while dying.
For example, while taking care of skin diligently, while staying up tirelessly;
Beer with wolfberry, cola with codonopsis;
Put on autumn pants and stick a warm baby when jumping;
After eating big fish and meat, and then a plate of green vegetables, you will feel very healthy. ”
Fortunately, Pu Ruo's laughter has always been relatively high, and he had to laugh out loud before putting it aside, and his cold face was full of speechlessness, "What do you want to say?"
"It's nothing, it's just pulling you out to play and relax. ”
Pu Ruo looked into his eyes and said seriously: "I'm not interested in playing now." ”
Guan Qiu followed up and asked, "Then what are you interested in?"
"I'm ......" Pu Ruo was a little angry, took a few breaths and said, "Since you have enough money to eat lying down and can't eat it for hundreds of years, why do you still make money?"
"Because ......" Guan Qiu thought for a while and said: "The more money, the greater the psychological freedom that people get." In addition, people are poor and short-minded, horses are thin and long-haired, and they have a little more money, so they can straighten their backs when talking to people. ”
"You still know......" Pu Ruo wanted to scold him a few more words, but when the words came to his mouth, he swallowed them back.
Looking at Pu Ruo's somewhat annoyed expression, Guan Qiu somehow remembered what happened after that hangover, she didn't seem to be too disgusted with night clubs such as bars, but now because of her identity, she basically wouldn't go to that kind of place.
"How about a night at a bar?"
Hearing Guan Qiu's words, Pu Ruo's heart beat violently, and he subconsciously said, "Don't go!"
Guan Qiu picked up the teacup, bared his teeth and pursed his mouth, didn't continue the topic, and talked to Pu Ruodong. In my mind, I was thinking that there seemed to be a lot of unique bars in Xintiandi.
……
……
In a magnificent building in Hong Kong Central, a group of men in their mid-ages are discussing the selection of new members.
The people present are all the tycoons who stomp their feet and tremble, as well as the spokespersons of celebrities and dignitaries, who control the economic lifeline of Xiangjiang.
However, the new member they are going to discuss today is a little special - Guan Qiu.
Since last year's nomination of Kwan Qiu by Yu Hongtai of Taihong Fund, there has been a lot of debate within the Club.
The selection of members is very important, involving all aspects of things, and one of the most important assessments is the "three views".
This sounds a little strange, but in fact, to put it simply, if Guan Qiu is a person who cares about the overall situation, he can't do things as he wants, and he must cooperate with local people on all issues involving the fundamental interests of Xiangjiang.
As for those that don't matter, it's up to each person.
However, judging from the information they have so far, Guan Qiu has a strong reckless aura and a strong spirit of personal heroism, and it is really not a good thing for such a person to be absorbed.
Now the problem is that the Jockey Club also needs to replenish fresh blood, and Guan Qiu, in addition to his unruly personality, his own strength is no weaker than any old top rich man in Xiangjiang.
This is still on the surface. The other party has a huge intangible energy in the United States and the London futures market, which is incomparable to anyone present, and many people are envious of it.
Just like Yu Hongtai, who turned out to be the bottom character in the Jockey Club, followed the young man to long London copper futures, and it was only half a year before and after, and his value immediately skyrocketed, and now he is also a bigwig in the Xiangjiang futures industry.
"Now that you're eligible, let's just absorb it. ”
"I don't think so. Lin Dong's so-called eligibility is just that the assets meet the standard, and the social influence is still up to be discussed. ”
"I also think that the other party is still too young, and if he hastily absorbs it, it will have a certain impact on the authority of the Jockey Club, so let's think about it again. ”
And the younger you are, the more limitless your future prospects. ”
"I'm also in favor of absorbing it. ”
"I'm against ......"
"Then vote by show of hands. ”
Of the 12 members of the Board of Directors, 6 directors voted in favor of Guan Qiu as a selection member, 5 opposed and abstained from voting.
From today, Guan Qiu has officially become a member of the Hong Kong Jockey Club, and his name has spread among all the wealthy families in Hong Kong in the shortest possible time.
After the meeting ended, Lin Dong, the first person in favor, called and told Yu Hongtai, who was in the mainland, the news.
This Lin Dong's company has a deep cooperative relationship with 67.com, a subsidiary of Tianxiu Group, and he knows more about Guan Qiu than most people.
This young man is a real "giant crocodile of the deep", and he also has more wealth than most people think.
If such a person does not make friends in advance, it will be too late to get to know each other when the other party is successful in the future.
……
At half past five in the afternoon, Xintiandi, Huangpu District, Shanghai.
"Xintiandi" is a source of Shanghai's fashionable life with Shikumen architecture as the carrier, integrating tourism, sightseeing, leisure and shopping.
The quaint Shikumen has been transformed into a 21st-century environment for modern urban living, with numerous cafes, bars, Chinese and Western restaurants, fashion stores, international galleries, and countless tourists from all over the world every day.
Strolling through Xintiandi, looking out, the arches and laneways in the Shikumen alley and the four brick walls, the old gatehouse and the carved railings of the old-fashioned balcony complement each other, making people suddenly feel as if they are in the streets of the old Shanghai market in the 2O century and 3O years.
Of course, Pu Ruo is not a literary young woman, and she is a native of Shanghai, so she has not shown a lingering expression in the face of these buildings full of age since she was a child.
After coming out of a special western restaurant, Guan Qiu received a call from Yu Hongtai to report the good news.
Guan Qiu said a few polite words, and after putting down the phone, he laughed at himself: "In the future, buddy, I will also be considered an upper-class person, right?"
Pu Ruo glanced at him and said, "You seem to be quite happy." Why, do you still need to rely on the affirmation of others to prove your achievements?"
"That's not what I say. The two walked side by side towards the neon-lit PUB in front of them, and Guan Qiu organized the language and said, "Most people like me are completely different worlds from those of you who come from well-to-do families, and what we dreamed of when we were children may be something that you have at your fingertips.
Like when you memorize words, we may be looking for a job;
When you solve differential equations, we may be moving bricks;
When you study in the evening, we may have just finished a hard day's work and rode our bicycles to the city house.
Your expectations of accomplishment are high, and your satisfaction will naturally decrease. ”
Pu Ruo tugged his sideburns, which were blown by the night wind, and did not speak.
He has a lot of crooked reasoning, and if you have anything to do with him, you can get it from the Himalayas to why the female cat of the neighbor's house next door was in heat last night.
So the wisest thing to do is not to talk to him.
Just in front of me came to the bar, a well-known Qing bar in Xintiandi.
The decoration, layout, lighting, etc. in the Qing bar are well designed, coupled with the superiority of the geographical location, so that the business here is very good, although it is only less than eight o'clock, the class rate has exceeded fifty percent.
Under the guidance of the waiter, the two found a booth in the corner and sat down.
I ordered a bottle of red wine and chatted over soothing music. Of course, the main thing is Guan Qiu said.
They are all adults, and Pu Ruo actually knows why Guan Qiu has to pull her out to eat and drink today, so he simply complied with his wishes.
a bottle;
two bottles;
Three bottles of ......
When the alcohol came up, the lively factor in Pu Ruo's body began to surge, and his eyes were blurred with the smell of wine and said, "Let's go, go to the hi bar next door." ”
Guan Qiu pondered before, the two of them are also the presidents and bosses of the group company, and going to such a smoky place as a bar really doesn't match their identities, so they came to Qingbar.
Now seeing Pu Ruo's request, he said happily: "Go!"
When I came to a large bar in Xintiandi that had just opened, I had not even walked in, and there was already a deafening sound of music......
