"Can't you wait until you're done eating?" Su Cheng smiled a little, not quite in line with today's identity.

Su Zhenguo's secretary was in his thirties, more than calm, lacking in humor, and said stunned: "The old man also has a table there, let's go over and eat." ”

"Is the old man alone?" Sioux City still had no intention of leaving. This time was summoned by Su Zhenguo, no matter how you think about it, it is a matter of oil pipelines. He had already refused to return to the family, and he thought of some new tricks when he came to Su Zhenguo, otherwise he would not have summoned him rashly.

The secretary hesitated for a moment and said, "Not alone. ”

"How many?"

The secretary said helplessly: "You saw it in the past." ”

He really hadn't met Sioux City like this. In the past, whoever was summoned by Su Lao, even if he didn't bow down on the spot, his legs and feet should be neat.

Su Cheng looked unhappy, motioned to Shu Lan to order, and asked to himself, "Is it from the Su family?"

"I don't know very well. ”

"Then wait. ”

Wait a minute......

Wait a minute!

Let Su Lao wait?

The secretary froze for a moment, and reluctantly said, "Su Dong, if there is anything to meet, Su Lao's schedule is very full." ”

"If it's too busy, maybe a few more days, or an appointment would be fine. ”

Su Cheng's words made the secretary completely speechless. If such a refusal is put on someone else, he will be furious, even if he is not angry, he can't do it, isn't this sweeping Su Lao's face?

However, it is difficult for a Qing official to decide family affairs, and once a family problem is involved, the secretary will only be vigilant and not get involved, and will bring himself in.

"Then I'll have to tell the truth. "The secretary can't drag Sioux City up either.

Su Cheng nodded slightly, "um", and seemed to focus on the menu.

See him do this. The secretary had to go upstairs.

Shu Lan watched the door close and whispered, "Is this okay?"

"It's just an attitude, but also look at the old man's attitude. ”

"Huh?"

"If the old man has something to say, then send the secretary down. If the Su family has something to say, then send the Su family who wants to speak down. If you don't send someone, it means that things are not easy to discuss. If it's really hard to talk about, then the old man will probably come down by himself. Su Cheng pursed his lips and said, "You must always distinguish people and things clearly." ”

Shu Lan was stunned when she heard this, and said, "It's really complicated. ”

"An oil pipeline costs billions of dollars. I don't know who pays for it. If you add in the bidding funds for the oil fields, it is even more. Therefore, before the eight characters are skimmed, it is still wonderful not to see the old man. So, don't you understand a little? ”

Shu Lan was surprised and said, "Su Lao wants to meet." You have to come down in person?"

"The old man came down in person, which means that the matter is really troublesome, maybe quite urgent. In this case, we will have to reconsider whether to participate in the oil bid. "No matter what country it is, international oil pipelines are a matter of high-level discussion. Sioux City had no direct access to the details of high-level meetings and decisions. It is up to others to judge by their performance and actions.

Shu Lan nodded as if she didn't understand. She doesn't really like the deceitful political world, but she's a pure factory that makes her feel comfortable, and now she's studying at Jiaotong University for a short time. It is also product quality management, which is almost close to the front line of production.

Su Cheng smiled, continued to open the menu, and said, "It's time to order." No matter who comes down, we all have to eat, don't we?"

"Don't order too much. Shulan pouted. When eating out, there will be leftovers from time to time, because Su Cheng is very busy, even if she packs the unfinished dishes back, she often has no time to eat, which always makes her feel like a waste.

Su Cheng was much more excited, waved his hand and asked for the traditional back-to-the-pot meat and shredded green pepper meat to eat, and then began to point to the back of the menu and ask, "Your prawns are wild." ”

The waiter smiled: "Look at what you said, where are the shrimp farmed?" ”

"How big? Is there a slap?"

"Look at what you said, a prawn as small as a slap, how can we be embarrassed to sell it, a slap and a half. The waiter stretched out his palm and flipped it twice.

"Okay, let's have a plate. "Sioux City doesn't have time to eat at a big hotel every day, and my mouth is watering at this time. Looking at the price again, a plate of prawns costs 20 yuan, which is less than one-tenth of the salary of ordinary workers, and it is not too expensive in proportion.

The waiter took notes and asked, "What do you like?"

"How do you do it in general?"

"Most of our guests like our chef's pickled or fried with a layer of loose meat powder, which is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside......"

Su Cheng waved his hand and said, "It's better to be original, steaming or something." ”

"Good. The waiter took notes in a notebook. The Chinese in the 90s, whether it was an official banquet or a wedding banquet, paid attention to heavy oil and heavy taste, even in coastal areas, light taste was not popular, at least not the mainstream.

After ordering three dishes, Su Cheng was still unsatisfied, rubbed his hands and continued to ask, "Are there any crabs?"

"Of course...... We have pike crabs, orchid crabs, Dungeness crabs ......"

"Pick the biggest one. Su Cheng said quickly: "Hurry up, serve the food quickly." ”

Shu Lan patted his arm amusefully and said, "I ordered so much again, and I didn't eat in the morning?"

"Eat. ”

"It's good to remove the shrimp or crabs, it's too wasteful. Shulan stopped the waiter.

"Don't, eat one less one, if you want to eat it in the future, it's not so cheap. Su Cheng thought to himself: Look at it after 10 years, and then you want to find a whole plate, how difficult it is to have a half-palm-long prawn.

This kind of top-sized prawns, that is, in the early 90s, fishermen just began to catch a large number of them on the market, and the hotels with higher bids had the capital to screen, and they could get all the basketball in the prawns, and they did not feel rare. In the future, farmed shrimp often do not reach the length of the palm. Because the growth rate of shrimp exceeding this size will be reduced sharply, farmers who do not want to lose money can only fish it out and sell it. The shrimp caught in the sea will grow bigger, but with the extinction fishing capacity of Chinese fishermen, the production of China's coastal areas is really not enough, and coupled with the competition of foreign diners, domestic restaurants can supply wild giant shrimp for a long time. The number is always limited, and with the increasing pollution of the ocean, there is not much time left to let go of the belly and eat prawns.

The waiter also saw that the customer in front of him was an edible product, so he asked mysteriously: "Actually, the game in our store is also good?"

"Huh?"

"Have you ever eaten braised pangolins? The skin on the outside is crispy, and the meat on the inside is soft, and it is a great tonic!"

Sioux licked his lips. Then he looked at Shu Lan and said regretfully: "Forget it, let's talk about it when they finish eating the domestic pangolins, and the foreign pangolins come." ”

"When I was younger, pangolins were common in the mountains. There are a lot of them, and it's not easy to eat them. Ha ha. Outside the seat, there was a low laugh.

Then, I saw a man with big ears, who walked in, smiled at Su Cheng and Shu Lan, and then said to the waiter, "You go." ”

The waiter left the half-pack seat with a puzzled face. As I walked, I thought: Could it be that pangolins abroad are more delicious?

Su Cheng looked up at the uninvited guest, recalled the photos he had seen, and said, "You are Su Lao's nephew?"

"Su Yaping. The big-eared man smiled and said, "I also have a company that deals in timber." I don't dare to say that there are a lot of mountain delicacies, if you like it, I will bring you some next time. ”

Stand at the other end of the room. Su Yaping felt a little free. Indeed, it was said that Su Lao came forward. and then took the initiative to deign to come to see Su Cheng, Su Yaping naturally had a bit of a top-down meaning.

Su Cheng didn't follow the ideas designed by Su Yaping, he pursed his lips and said: "When you start a company at your age, I'm afraid you have transformed the state-owned enterprise you used to work for into a joint-stock system." ”

Su Yaping is about forty-five or sixteen years old, and with his Su family identity, it is naturally impossible for him to do business with a group of labor prisoners in the late 70s and early 80s.

However, if he had entered a state-owned enterprise in order to get promoted faster and work easier, and then made a mistake and did not jump out in time, then Su Yaping's motivation for doing business would be more abundant.

Eating the poorly managed state-owned enterprises, and then continuing the dense web of relationships to forge ahead, is a normal routine of large private enterprises in this era, and it is easy to guess.

Su Yaping obviously didn't like Su Cheng's straightforward and even contemptuous tone, his nose fluttered, and he said: "Our company's shareholding system reform is reasonable and legal, more than 1,000 employees, if they are willing to buy internal shares, they can buy it, and if they don't want to, they can continue to work in the enterprise, which is much better than stopping production and laying off workers......

"What's the matter with me?" Sioux cut off again.

Su Yaping, who was originally going to argue, was holding back his chest tightness, and finally could only take two breaths, and said: "You seem to have wanted to buy the Petroleum Machinery General Factory in Tian*jin, don't you?"

"Yes. ”

"And now?"

"What do you mean?"

"The Jinshi General Factory is not operating well, and since last year, wages have not been paid. Therefore, we think that if Dahua Industrial still wants to buy Jinshi General Factory, you can help. ”

Su Cheng smiled: "Who are we and everyone?"

Su Yaping pursed his lips and said, "My brother-in-law Yang Yunfu happens to be in charge of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission. ”

"Oh, what about the request?"

"This ...... Why don't we go up and talk. The old man is also waiting. ”

Su Chengwu shook his head and said, "If it is for me to return to the family, I have already refused, even if I am given a Jinshi General Factory, the answer will not change much." But you must have a second plan, what do you want to change?"

Before he saw Su Cheng, Su Yaping still felt that Su Cheng was playing the trick of "three persuasions and three advances". Face to face, only to find out that this is not the case at all.

Su Yaping thought about it, it was better not to join the family, so he simply said: "We will buy 50% of the Jinshi General Factory." In the future, if you win the oil pipeline between China and Kazakhstan or China and Argentina, you will hand over all the pipeline business to the Jinshi General Factory. ”

Thousands of kilometers of pipelines, costing more than 1 billion, is indeed a good deal.

Su Cheng smiled: "With such conditions, even if you send Jinshi General Factory to me for nothing, I won't ask for it." ”

Su Yaping's face changed, and he said, "Don't rush to make a decision first, you have to think clearly." ”

"Oh?"

Su Yaping stared at his eyes and said, "If you don't return to the family and don't agree to this plan, then there will be no relationship between the Su family and Dahua Industry." In this way, we have no choice but to fully support the Ontario Line!"
