Chapter 44: Making Friends
Go west out of the Sanqiao area, cross the rainbow bridge under the Binshui River, and then pass through a tunnel, and on the east side, a group of antique Chinese buildings is located next to the water and the mountain, and the eaves of the red brick and blue tile corridor are low, showing luxury in the low-key.
This is the only five-star hotel in Delong City, the famous "Yunshan Pavilion".
Yunshan Pavilion belongs to Taisheng Group, which has tentacles in tourism, catering and entertainment industries, and is one of the largest groups in Delong City. And it was Fan Wenhong's uncle Zhou Zuchong who created such a huge business territory.
In the evening, Zhou Zuchong and Fan Yonghao suddenly appeared in Yunshan Pavilion, from the door to the general manager could not help but be a little nervous, Chairman Zhou's banquet was booked in advance, how did it appear so suddenly today? The person next to him was not a policeman who has often appeared on TV recently? I heard that he was also promoted!
What surprised everyone even more was that Chairman Zhou did not enter the door, but stood at the door and waited!
Everyone secretly said that the distinguished guests who could let Chairman Zhou and others greet them at the door, what kind of identity did they have to be?
Audi A5 drove to the door of Yunshan Pavilion and stood firm, Zhou Zuchong opened the car door and welcomed Chen Tao out.
He took Chen Tao's hand, and his tone was extremely affectionate, "Brother Xiao Chen, hahahaha, let's meet again!"
Chen Tao said politely, and several people crowded into the hotel.
The Yazhen Hall of the Yunshan Pavilion Welcome Building is the place where Zhou Zuchong entertains distinguished guests.
Several people entered the hall and sat down, and Chen Tao was invited to the main guest seat facing the hall door, and Zhou Zuchong and Fan Yonghao accompanied each other. Further out are the wives of the two, Fan Wenhong and a heroic young man with bright eyes sitting in the outermost position, the man's eyebrows are a little similar to Zhou Zuchong.
The wine and food were put on the table, and everyone was polite for a while.
Fan Yonghao picked up his wine glass and said, "Chen... Dr. Chen, the grace of saving his life, can not be repaid, three glasses of thin wine, a little heart. Don't move, I'm done!" After speaking, he raised his head and drank a glass, and then filled two glasses, all of which were dry in one gulp. Don't look at Fan Yonghao as a rough man, but he talks very elegantly. After three glasses of wine, his pale face became rosy after recovering from a serious illness.
Tang Yuxia gently patted her husband's back and said with concern, "Old Fan, slow down, your body is just right, don't drink so much!"
Zhou Zuchong said with a smile, "It's okay! I think Yonghao's physique is better than before he was hospitalized, thanks to our brother Xiao Chen, come, Brother Xiao Chen, I will also toast you!"
Chen Tao saw that Zhou Zuchong was not a few years younger than his father, and he called himself "brother", he was really embarrassed, scratched his head and said, "Let's call me Xiaotao." ”
Zhou Zuchong held the wine glass and pretended to be angry and said, "That's not good! Xiao Tao looks too disrespectful! Let's be happy, you call me Brother Zhou, and I call you brother." Wen Hong, you can't be called Brother Tao in the future, you have to be called Uncle Chen from our point of view!"
The crowd laughed.
Fan Wenhong followed and joked, "Uncle Chen, I also toast you!"
Zhou Zuchong is arrogant and very good at enlivening the atmosphere, Fan Wenhong gags from it, and the atmosphere of the wine table becomes warm. Chen Tao saved Fan Yonghao's life and reconciled him with his son, and they sincerely thanked Chen Tao. invited him to dinner, firstly, to express his gratitude, and secondly, Zhou Zuchong also wanted to take the opportunity to make this friend.
When he entered the ward after Chen Tao left that day, Fan Yonghao sat and talked like a nobody.
This scene stunned the doctor in the hospital, and his mouth was bigger than a basketball!
However, because Chen Tao explained before leaving, he didn't want to attract too much attention and cause unnecessary trouble, so except for a few who knew the inside story, the outside world got the news that Liu Boque had cured Fan Yonghao.
Chen Tao's low-key attitude made Zhou Zuchong even more firm in his belief, "This guy is definitely not an ordinary person! Ninety-nine percent of him is a master of the world! This kind of person is a god who sees the head and does not see the end, and the probability of being able to know him is lower than that of the middle five million! Today, I must take this opportunity to hand him over!"
When the wine was hot, Zhou Zuchong's son Zhou Zhuowei, a handsome young man with a good temperament, said to Chen Tao, "Brother Chen, my father and I have not made much progress in business for several years, and recently I want to open a water purification factory around the city to produce mineral water and pure water." The water source is better, I don't know if Brother Chen has any good places to recommend?"
Chen Tao scratched his head and said, "I'm a layman, there is a Baishui River outside our half town, and the water is very clear." It's just that it's a rural area, so I'm afraid the transportation is not very convenient. ”
Zhou Zhuowei said happily, "Baishui River? Okay! It turns out that Brother Chen's family is in a semi-town, so this ecological water company will be opened in a half-town! It just so happens that you are a consultant, and you will be counted as 50 percent of the original shares, and the income will be half of the two of us, do you think it's okay?"
In fact, Zhou Zhuowei has been brewing a water purification plant for half a year, and the site has already been selected on the bank of the Baishui River in the middle of the town. He heard Fan Wenhong say that Chen Tao's family was in a semi-town, so he pretended to be stupid and deliberately asked so that he could join the shares.
Zhou Zuchong and Zhou Zhuowei, a pair of businessmen and fathers, believe in the life creed that "the relationship is the most reliable only when it is tied to interests." As the saying goes, "Don't pursue common interests with brotherly affection, but pursue brotherhood with common interests." Their friendship is also based on common interests, so Zhou Zhuowei wants to give half of the profits to Chen Tao.
Although Chen Tao is profound, his social experience is not as good as Zhou Zhuowei, who is seven or eight years older than him. He said in a daze,
"I, I'm a shareholder in the water purification plant, what can I do? No, no. ”
Zhou Zuchong heard that Chen Tao refused and thought that he was afraid of the lack of money, and that the water purification plant relied on the relationship network of Taisheng Group, and the annual profit was about one million, Zhou Zuchong thought to himself, "Isn't it enough for a high school student to earn five or six hundred thousand yuan a year?" After pondering again, he couldn't wait to slap his mouth, "I'm really confused! Are people ordinary high school students? People can do whatever they want, and a vegetative person can cure you, and this amount of money is missing? People really want to make money in hundreds of thousands and millions of minutes! Yes, who cares about money in the world? I'm really a sycophant on the horse's neck. ”
He glared at his son, "Don't bother you Brother Chen for anything, you do it yourself first, it's really not okay!"
"Okay. If you have something to do in the future, please ask Brother Chen to help. Come, I'll replace wine with tea, toast you!" Zhou Zuchong respectfully picked up the tea bowl and toasted Chen Tao with a glass.
Chen Tao also clinked glasses with him instead of tea.
is different from Fan Wenhong, who has a rebellious personality, Zhou Zhuowei, a rich second generation, speaks decently and speaks very measuredly, and when Chen Tao refuses, he will not mention it again.
The meal lasted for more than two hours, and when the banquet ended, everyone sent Chen Tao outside the door, but Zhou Zhuowei did not drink and drove him home.
The two of them talked and laughed along the way, and when they got off the car, Zhou Zhuowei handed over a dark blue gift box more than a foot long, and said with a smile, "Brother Chen, a little heart, accept it!"
