Chapter 337: The Guotai Club
After leaving Quanjude, Zhang Siyuan did not return to the courtyard, and he also asked Lin Yi to come out to talk about things tonight. Last night, because Zhou Zixuan was there, they didn't talk about business during dinner, so they chatted about some interesting things.
The place was booked by Lin Yi, and Zhang Siyuan only knew what it was called, but he didn't know what the place was. Zheng Yi knew where the place was, but he never went in. By the time Zhang Siyuan arrived at the Guotai Club, Lin Yi had already arrived. Lin Yi did not go in first, but waited for Zhang Siyuan at the door.
Seeing Zhang Siyuan get out of the taxi, Lin Yi said with a smile: "Brother Siyuan, take a taxi to the Guotai Club, you are the first person I know to do this." ”
Because today is a serious discussion, Lin Yi is not ready to go to some miscellaneous places with Zhang Siyuan. The Guotai Club is a more famous place in their circle, and the businessmen in the circle basically talk about things here. The background of the club is very complicated, and Lin Yi is not very clear, only knowing that since the establishment of the Guotai Club anyway, no one has caused trouble in it so far.
It can be seen that the Guotai Club is not ordinary, in Yanjing, a place full of powerful people, and it is a place where a group of gentlemen talk about things, and no one has ever made trouble in it. The grade of the Guotai Club can be seen in general, which is also the reason why Lin Yi asked Zhang Siyuan to come here. After all, he didn't know Zhang Siyuan's identity, but he knew Zhang Siyuan's worth, and of course he wouldn't take Zhang Siyuan to some low-grade places.
Of course, Zhang Siyuan didn't know where the Guotai Club was, but when he heard Lin Yi say that, he asked a little curiously: "Brother Lin, is there any problem with taking a taxi?"
"There's nothing wrong with that, just go in and you'll know. Lin Yi did not directly answer Zhang Siyuan's question, but sold a pass.
Zhang Siyuan, who was confused, followed Lin Yi to the clubhouse, and when he walked into the clubhouse, Zhang Siyuan knew why Lin Yi said that sentence just now. There are a series of luxury cars parked in the surface parking lot of the clubhouse, basically luxury cars like Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Ferrari, etc. It seems that I made a taxi to get here, which is indeed a bit unpleasant.
Lin Yi saw Zhang Siyuan staring at the car in the parking lot, and asked with a smile: "Brother Siyuan, how did you come here as a taxi? With your value, there should be no problem in getting a good car, right?"
Since knowing that Zhang Siyuan is the boss of Sohu, Lin Yi doesn't think that Zhang Siyuan will be short of money. Last time he was at the bar, he arrived first, Zhang Siyuan left first, of course he didn't know that Zhang Siyuan came by taxi. Yesterday's dinner was also picked up and delivered by his car, and he didn't see Zhang Siyuan's car.
Hearing Lin Yi ask, Zhang Siyuan smiled: "This is not Yanjing, I just went to book a car a few days ago, and I haven't been able to mention it yet." You should be able to get the car in a few days, and you can only take a taxi instead of these days, otherwise if you come by walking, you won't break your legs. ”
Zhang Siyuan's words made Lin Yi laugh, and after laughing, Lin Yi said to Zhang Siyuan: "Either my car will be borrowed from you for two days, anyway, I still have a few cars at home." It's not a good idea for you to take a taxi all the time, it's too cheap. No matter what, the façade has to be propped up. Believe it or not, if I hadn't waited for you at the door today, maybe I wouldn't have been able to enter the door of the Guotai Club?"
Lin Yi is not joking, there will never be a shortage of people in this world who look down on people. If you want to enter the Guotai Clubhouse for rent, it is basically non-existent. According to Lin Yi's estimates, those who can enter the Guotai Club either have ministerial-level relations at home, or they can only come in if they are worth 5 billion.
This is all his estimate, he can enter here because of his friends, and then he thought that there would be a tall place to receive friends in the future, so he set up a membership in the Guotai Club. Lin Yi's worth is naturally not five billion, but his family background is enough for him to become a guest in various high-end clubs.
"Brother Lin, it's okay. I rarely come to this kind of place, and I'll be back in Shanghai in a few days. Recently, there is nothing to do, so you may need a car to come and go to the company, so you don't need to bother you. ”
Zhang Siyuan rejected Lin Yi's kindness to borrow a car, and the car that Lin Yi could drive all the time showed that it was Lin Yi's favorite car. For many people, the status of the car is the same as that of his wife, and Zhang Siyuan naturally understands this truth. What's more, he really doesn't need a car to install the façade, otherwise he wouldn't have come out and take a taxi.
Even though it is just the millennium, there are already car rental companies in Yanjing. really wants to fill the façade, Zhang Siyuan has already rented a car to travel. It's just that I didn't expect that the place where Lin Yi asked him today would be such a tall place, and only then did we talk about the topic of cars.
For Zhang Siyuan, this is the first time he has come into contact with such a club. A club at the level of the Guotai Club will definitely not be the club in the mouths of some ordinary people. According to what Lin Yi said, the Guotai Club is a club for talking about business, which means that it is impossible to compare with those clubs outside that hide dirt and dirt.
Soon Zhang Siyuan followed Lin Yi through the parking lot outside the clubhouse and saw the true face of Lushan in the clubhouse. As soon as he walked into the club, two waiters wearing cheongsams greeted him, and after Lin Yi said a few boxes, the waiter took Lin Yi and the two to the box.
After sitting in the box, Lin Yi smiled and said to Zhang Siyuan: "How is it, it's different from other clubs, right?"
"Brother Lin, I really don't know this. I used to be a poor dick, but I never went to a clubhouse. Zhang Siyuan replied with a smile.
Lin Yi didn't believe Zhang Siyuan's words, and thought that Zhang Siyuan didn't want to evaluate. didn't talk about this topic anymore at the moment, but explained to Zhang Siyuan: "Guotai implements a membership system here, and if you pay a membership fee of 500,000 yuan every year, you can keep a box permanently. Then, if you want to become a member, you need to be introduced by an old member. I was introduced by my friend at the beginning, and I thought it was good, so I ran one, do you want to run one? This is a good place to expand my network, not to mention anything else, there are a lot of red children alone. ”
"500,000 membership fees? Brother Lin, some people can't take out that much money, right?" Zhang Siyuan did not agree to Lin Yi's suggestion to apply for a card, but was entangled in the membership conditions.
According to Lin Yi, the people here are basically businessmen and some businessmen who have successful careers. But not all the gentlemen can take out so much money, so what should the members do?
"If you don't have money, you have to pay for it, but if you use the box or something, you have to give money. Only by paying the membership fee can there be a permanent box. Those who haven't paid can only borrow a box, and if there is no room available, they can only go to the lobby to make do. Anyway, there are so many ways to do it, and you don't need to know too much. Truth be told, it's all a product of circles. If you don't know people, you just can't get in here even if you have the money. Lin Yi almost explained to Zhang Siyuan, so he didn't say anything more.
It is only because he and Zhang Siyuan will have a lot of cooperation in the future that he is willing to say so much to Zhang Siyuan. After all, if you know more people in this circle, it will be much easier to do many things in the future. The stronger Zhang Siyuan is, the greater the benefits of their cooperation in the future.
The two of them chatted for a while, and the waiter who had just brought them to the box walked in with two bottles of wine. Lin Yi directly opened the wine and said to Zhang Siyuan: "Drink and see, the wine here is said to be produced by the owner of the club in a winery in Europe, which is different from the red wine on the market." I don't know anything else, but it doesn't taste the same as the red wine on the market anyway. ”
Zhang Siyuan took a sip of the red wine in the glass, and he didn't feel anything special. He didn't study these things, and naturally he couldn't drink them well. Lin Yi seemed to be very intoxicated, which made Zhang Siyuan want to laugh when he looked at it.
Lin Yi put the wine glass in his hand on the table in front of him, and said to Zhang Siyuan with a smile: "To be honest, the day before yesterday, Hanzi made a scene for us, I was really curious who he wanted to introduce to us, but I didn't expect it to be you." You know, Hanzi's circle is very small, except for me and Chen Chang, Hanzi basically has no other friends. The background of his family is deep, but there is no successor. He is insubmissive to both military and political affairs, which means that once Old Man Li falls, then the Li family will basically have no influence. Maybe the people below the old man will help the old man take care of him, but if he has no development direction, many people will not contact him. ”
"It's not all interests, who will do things without interests. Zhang Siyuan said the point very simply.
Lin Yi nodded: "Actually, I'm very curious, how can you have a relationship with Hanzi." In my impression, he basically never left Yanjing, and you only came to Yanjing recently. ”
For Lin Yi, he was in the same circle with Chen Chang and Li Han because both of them were protégés of Old Man Li. But Zhang Siyuan obviously can't play a shot with Li Han in eight lifetimes, but he can let Li Han introduce them to them, which is a bit interesting.
Zhang Siyuan smiled, but decided to tell the truth: "My dad has a little friendship with Old Man Li, so Brother Li takes better care of me." ”
Lin Yi didn't ask any more questions after hearing this, it was already a bit too much to ask about this. just thought that Zhang Siyuan's father could have a relationship with Old Man Li, what kind of character would it be. In addition, Li Han obviously treats Zhang Siyuan as an equal person, which shows that Zhang Siyuan's father may indeed be very good.
The two of them chatted about the same, and Zhang Siyuan felt that it was better to finish chatting about business earlier. After all, Zhou Zixuan was waiting for her alone in the courtyard, and he didn't want to stay outside for long. He was a little distressed when he made Zhou Zixuan wait so late that day, he didn't want to be like that day today, otherwise Zhang Siyuan would really feel like a bastard.
