Chapter 22 The Price of Snobbery!
16 March 1993
Although Jia Lei had a bad time last night, it did not affect his mood this morning, as soon as the alarm clock rang at 7:30 in the morning, Jia Lei got up early.
"Let's go, let's go down for morning tea, there's no place when it's late." After Jia Lei finished washing, he immediately urged Mo Bei and said.
"Boss, it's not good for your stomach to drink tea early in the morning, why don't we go have breakfast first! I'm dying of hunger!" Luo Nan said.
"What breakfast are we going to have when we all arrive in Haikou?" Let's go, I'll take you down to eat the most famous morning tea on the island!" Jia Lei said.
"What kind of tea do people eat here early in the morning? Drink water and not ......be full," Mo Bei said reluctantly, following behind.
Several of their bodyguards from the north had not seen Cantonese morning tea before, to be precise, most northerners in third-tier cities had never heard of what Cantonese morning tea looked like!
"Hmm...... I can't tell you clearly, but you'll know when the time comes. This morning tea is actually not just tea, they also sell other things......" After Jia Lei finished speaking, he took people to the tea restaurant in Wanghailou.
"Oh my God, is this really a place to drink tea? Why are there so many steaming spots here?" Xiang Xigang thought he was in the wrong place as soon as he entered the door.
"Let's go in, that's right! The place where the people of Guangdong eat morning tea is called a tea restaurant, and in fact, many people have breakfast here. After Jia Lei finished speaking, he walked in with the bodyguards.
"Let's go find a seat first, and then you can go and see what you want to eat, and you don't have to take too much at a time, because someone will come with a snack cart later." Jia Lei said, and then he picked up what he liked.
"First have a cup of hot tea to refresh yourself, eat some crystal hawthorn cake to appetize, and then have some crab roe buns, shrimp dumplings, siu mai, so many staple foods are almost the same. I've heard that your cheong fun here is good, so I'll give each of us one. By the way, honey-glazed chicken feet and steamed pork ribs are also required. Jia Lei ordered the order fluently, and his saliva almost flowed out as he spoke.
The waiter took the list and left, Jia Lei first scalded the cup with hot tea, and then poured a full cup of tea and drank it slowly.
"Boss, although the things here look delicious, they are all small and small, and I don't feel hungry at all. I don't necessarily have enough to eat after taking so many cages, what should we do?" Mo Bei walked over with seven or eight small steamers and said, the two behind him hugged him more than him.
"Cantonese morning tea is different from our breakfast in the Northeast, it looks so small and compact, the weather here is too hot, people don't have to accumulate energy to keep out the cold like us northerners, so people here don't have a big appetite. Waiter, give each of them the largest basket of barbecued pork buns, and a bowl of seafood porridge for each person! Jia Lei said helplessly.
"Okay, here we go. The waiter replied with a smile, and then she quickly brought what Jia Lei ordered, and saw the big barbecued pork buns, and these Northeast men finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"This bun is good! Although it is not as big as our northeast, it can at least make people full. Xiang Xi said happily.
"Gentlemen don't mind if I fight for a place here, do you?" asked a boss in a suit and speaking broken Cantonese.
"Don't mind! Jia Lei glanced at him up and down, and nodded in agreement when he saw that he was not a bad person.
Wanghailou's morning tea is so famous, fortunately Jia Lei got up early this time, and after a while, the whole hall was full of people, and Jia Lei sat a total of eight people at the big round table.
"Mr. Wang, what a coincidence! I actually met you today. โ
"Hello Mr. Li, I went back to Singapore two days ago, and I just came back today. โ
There were people at the table next to him who kept greeting each other, as if the people living in this hotel were familiar with each other, and even Jia Lei and the two people at the table knew each other.
"Hello Mr. Huang, I haven't seen you for a long time, how is your business lately?" asked Lu Yang.
"It's okay, I just bought a villa for 2 million last week, and it was sold for 2.5 million yesterday. Huang Ming replied.
"Yo! Villas are in high demand, are you speculating in existing houses or pre-planned properties?" asked Lu Yang.
"It's an existing house, and it's easy to shoot and there's less trouble after it's made. Huang Ming replied.
"I think the house prices will go up now, why don't you stay for two more days?" Lu Yang asked.
"My mom has been sick recently, and I'm going back to Malaysia to take care of her, so I won't fry. Huang Ming said.
"It doesn't matter the old man's body, right? I just have half a pound of good blood swallow, I'll bring it to you later." You take it back and make up for the elderly!" Lu Yang said.
"Then thank you, I will definitely treat you well next time you come to Malaysia!" Huang Ming said.
"But after you leave, what will happen to the real estate company you left behind?" Lu Yang asked.
"I rented the corporate office in Wanghai Building and didn't have many employees, and when I left, I closed the real estate company. However, my employees still wanted to put something in it, so I told my landlord that he would not be able to rent out the office again when the contract expired. Huang Ming said.
"This Boss Huang, let me take the liberty of disturbing me! Can you transfer the office of your real estate company to me, the contemptible surname is Jin, and he has just come to Haikou to develop recently, and is preparing to set up a real estate company. When Boss Jin, who was the first to come over to share a table, heard this, he immediately took out his business card and introduced himself.
Then he sent his business card to the two people opposite, and finally he thought about it, looked at the brand-name clothes worn by several of them in Mobei, and also gave them and several other guests a business card each.
Here he only ignored Jia Lei!
"Jinshan Real Estate Company! You don't have anything on your business card except a phone number, you look like a leather bag company." Lu Yang looked at the business card and said disdainfully.
Recently, there are too many people who come to Haikou to speculate in houses, and many people have no money to rent an office so they go to buy a good set of clothes, take the big brother and pretend to be a rich person to go around to try their luck, if you are lucky, you can find a partner, and then buy a piece of land to go to the bank for a loan to start speculating in real estate.
If they're unlucky, they'll have to work for other people or do sales......
"I only have 3 months left in my rent and I don't have much money, so I don't want to transfer it to you. I've been working on the island for three years, and many of the people who flip houses on the island are my regular customers. What if you take over my company and go to deceive people in my name? When the time comes, they will go to Malaysia to find me! It's not cost-effective!" Huang Ming shook his head and said, the overseas Chinese in Nanyang still pay great attention to reputation.
"This ...... Boss Huang, can't you be more accommodating? Now the office in Wanghailou is really too sought-after, I really want it! If you sublet the office to me, I can give you 30,000 yuan. Jin Shan gritted his teeth and said.
......30,000 yuan is only enough for a month's rent in Wanghai Building, if you are really sincere in renting a house, you should come according to the market price. Are you doing this clearly to take advantage of the fire to rob and pick up cheap!" Jia Lei said suddenly, he cautiously remembered that he had just sent a business card and deliberately caused trouble for Jinshan.
"If I can get 100,000 yuan, I can't rent a house somewhere, but the landlords here all bet one and pay three. Besides, if I rent Mr. Huang's house, he can still earn 30,000 yuan, and if he doesn't rent it to me, he won't even get a penny. Jin Shan said.
"How can I worry about renting a house in Wanghailou, if Boss Huang is willing to rent it, I will have no problem paying 100,000 yuan, this is the market price. Besides, even if I paid 100,000 yuan, Boss Huang would not be able to transfer the company to me at the risk of losing my goodwill. Mr. Huang's reputation is worth more than that!" Jia Lei retorted.
"Who said that I am not willing to transfer the real estate company in my hand, if the person who pays is replaced by this little friend, I am willing to change it. After all, doing business pays attention to the accumulation of small amounts, and 100,000 yuan is not a small amount!" Huang Ming suddenly answered with a smile.
"Hmm...... I just made an analogy, I don't flip the house and don't need the office in the Wanghai Building. Jia Lei said in a suffrage, and now he especially regrets that he opened his mouth to talk nonsense under impulse.
Sure enough, if you answer the phone randomly, you will be punished by God!
"The office in Wanghai Building is particularly sought-after, and the price of 100,000 yuan cannot be rented now. Because there is no house to rent in Wanghai Tower, do you really want it, little boss?" Huang Ming looked at Jia Lei with a smile and asked.
"I want! we want!" Ah Fei suddenly ran over from a few meters away.
"Brother Fei! People are asking me not you......" Jia Lei gritted his teeth when he saw this scene.
"Oh, Jia Lei, are we two brothers, aren't people asking you the same as asking me? As a brother, I'll promise to come down for you......" Ah Fei immediately said cheekily.
"As a brother, I only have one word for you, g-u-n get out! How many times have I said that you are not allowed to speculate on houses!" Jia Lei said angrily slapping the table.
If you are willing to pay 100,000 yuan, I will transfer my real estate company to you, including my former client list. What do you think?" Huang Ming said as he looked at the gold Rolex watch in Ah Fei's hand, and with his eyes, he could see at a glance that it was genuine.
"Okay! That's it, I'll get you the money. Ah Fei immediately said happily.
"Mr. Huang, you don't even know what my brother's surname is, is it appropriate to transfer the company to him so easily? Let me tell you, he used to be a liar and a street gangster, don't be deceived by him. Jia Lei hurriedly stopped Huang Ming from saying.
"Huh...... It doesn't matter what this new friend did before, as long as he isn't a liar in the future. Besides, you're so rich that you can't let your friends cheat you out of money in my name. Huang Ming said with a smile.
"Where do you see that I'm rich? I don't wear anything on me except pants and a vest!" Jia Lei asked puzzled.
"But you have two watches with you! I can see that one of them shows London time, and the other shows Moscow time, which is what only people who fly around the world wear. And your Piaget watch alone is worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, do you say I'm still afraid that you will lie to me?" Huang Ming said with a smile.
"Hey, I thought I had the temperament of a domineering president, and people were impressed at a glance. It turns out that you can see that I have money because of the watch in my hand.,I've been used to bringing this thing recently.,I brought it with me when I got up today.,I didn't expect that there was really a good thing here.ใ Jia Lei said speechlessly.
"Ouch! Jia Lei, thanks to you for forgetting to take off your watch today, otherwise how could I have rented an office on the top of Wanghai Tower! You don't know, now having an office in Wanghai Tower is a symbol of identity and status. After I open a new company there, all the banks will take the initiative to come to us for a loan to buy land!" Ah Fei said happily.
"Huh...... I also have two banks in my hands, do I need to give you a loan in person?" Jia Lei rolled his eyes and asked.
"No! I really don't, your old time is so expensive! I'm embarrassed to trouble you. The cold hairs behind Ah Fei stood up, and he immediately said with interest.
"Do you have a bank, little brother? You see we've been sitting together for so long, and I haven't asked your name yet. The contemptible person's surname is Kim, and this is my business card. What is your surname?" Jin Shan immediately came over to find a topic to talk to, in fact, he had heard Ah Fei call Jia Lei's name just now.
"My surname is very expensive, so I don't want to deal with you, and I won't lend you a loan. Because my bank is a foreign bank, I can't do business in China. You snobbish liar just give up!" Jia Lei blocked everything Jin Shan wanted to say in one go, and he felt too cool now.
"Woo! I'm really not a liar, I just want to do business. Young Master Jia, just help me, I borrowed 150,000 yuan from relatives and friends in my hometown and wanted to speculate in Hainan, but the house prices here are too expensive, and I can't buy a house for 150,000 yuan!
I've been here for two months, and I'm running out of money every day. If you don't want to help me, I'll have to jump off the building......" Jin Shan suddenly hugged Jia Lei's arm and cried sadly.
"Go away, I've seen a lot of liars, how can I be deceived by you so easily! You're crying too fake!" Jia Lei said vigorously pulling his arm out.
When Mo Bei saw this, he immediately came up and broke Jin Shan's hand, and casually threw him under a nearby window.
"This surnamed Jin is too thick-skinned, Jia Lei just sees that you are young and thinks that you are soft-hearted so dare to slap you so deadly. If it were me, I wouldn't blow his head off......" Ah Fei said, raising his fist.
"I'm a civilized person who can't move his hands and feet! This guy surnamed Jin is not only thick-skinned but also hard-looking, but he didn't take me seriously when he sat down with so many people just now. He wants to come and beg me at this time, no way!" Jia Lei said proudly.
Well, in fact, Jia Lei's heart is sometimes quite small!
