Listening to Songyuan is a three-storey Chinese-style building in the innermost part of the villa, with red pillars and green tiles, cornices and corners, looking at the past from a distance, antique.

Thinking about eating French food in this building, Bian Xuedao felt that the convener, Lao Yu, was really a talent.

After entering the door, I understood, listening to the first floor of Songyuan is Lao Yu's private collection exhibition hall, the decoration is decent, 360 degrees without dead angle monitoring. The second floor is a restaurant with a Chinese decoration style, and the third floor is a restaurant with a European decoration style.

The entire third floor is divided into two parts, a lounge area and a dining area. Lao Yu took the group upstairs, and immediately a Peugeot waitress came to guide him.

Dining is served at a rectangular red oak dining table. Lao Yu still sat in the main seat, and another big-nosed old man with half-white hair who hadn't spoken much sat opposite Lao Yu.

As soon as Lao Yu sat down, he beckoned Bian Xuedao, pointed to the seat on the right-hand side and said, "Xiao Bian come and sit." ”

Bian Xuedao said with a smile: "How can this work, I am a junior, and I am here to learn from the scriptures today." ”

Jiang Yong came over and said: "There are not so many rules here, they are all sitting at will, Lao Yu admires you too much and wants to talk to you more." ”

Bian Xuedao didn't sit in the first seat on his right hand in the end.

Just kidding, the first time you came to sit there, do you want to mix it up later?

Regardless of whether Lao Yu really loves talent or wants to kill, this routine will not work for Bian Xuedao, not to mention that not long ago, Zhu Zhichun just gave Bian Xuedao a communication lesson on how to deal with officials and businessmen.

Jiang Yong just sat down next to Bian Xuedao, Hu Xi came over and said to Jiang Yong: "Mr. Jiang, change your seat, Lao Pang and Lao Tang over there are both smoking guns, I can't stand it." ”

An Fatzi, who was sitting opposite the side of the road, heard it, clapped his hands and said, "Old Jiang, how do I remember that Xiaohu also smokes?

Jiang Yong didn't feel sorry for Hu Xi, he changed his seat with a smile, and after a while, the waiter began to serve the food.

When he was sobering up, the big-nosed old man sitting opposite Lao Yu spoke: "Yo he, I actually took out your two bottles of heart and liver baby today, it's really watching people put down dishes!"

Lao Yu may be afraid that Bian Xuedao will feel that everyone is targeting him, so he immediately answered: "To be honest, I am really a little reluctant to drink, but I recently heard a piece of news, and I feel that I don't need to stay." ”

Messages are the most valuable thing for this kind of gathering.

When people at this level get together, it is necessary to communicate with each other through a meal, but more importantly, to exchange messages. You know, many business opportunities, in fact, the source is a piece of news.

Lao Yu wiped his hands with a towel, and then said: "Yanjing's Zhu family knows, it is recently acquiring Obi Kangzhuang, one of the eight major wineries in France. ”

Well?

As soon as he heard Lao Yu talk about the Zhu family, Bian Xuedao's ears stood up.

Hu Xi, who had been secretly observing him from the corner of his eye, was sitting next to Bian Xuedao, and found that when Lao Yu mentioned the Zhu family, Bian Xuedao's fingers on the table had a small movement.

Lao Pang, who had been smoking cigars, held his cigar and asked, "Zhu Jia, are you buying a winery, do you know the transaction amount?"

Lao Yu said: "Let you read the newspaper more often, you can't develop this habit." ”

Lao Pang said: "Can you still read the newspapers now? Let's take the Songjiang Daily as an example, the first page of the news on the 7th said that a certain expo will open the day after tomorrow, the first page on the 8th said that a certain expo will open tomorrow, the first page of the 9th news said that a certain expo had a grand opening today, and the first page on the 10th said that a certain expo opened successfully yesterday, and this thing is also called a newspaper?"

Lao Yu leaned back in his chair and said: "It's okay if you don't read it, last year I told you to spend a little money, find a few college students, and set up a small news and public opinion collection room, we don't have time to read the newspaper and watch the news, so it is definitely beneficial to let others help us read it." ”

Lao Pang said: "It's already news?"

Lao Yu said: "The specific results have not come out, but there is a lot of gossip, and the European media have also reported it." This acquisition was made by the Zhu family who cultivated Buddha in Wutai Mountain, and a winery spent $1 billion. ”

An Fatzi was wiping his face with a towel, and when he heard this, he held the towel and asked, "How much? 1 billion US dollars?

Jiang Yong said: "If you really launder money, how good is it to go to an auction house to buy antiques and cultural relics, how can you buy this thing to launder money? Besides, the Zhu family still uses money laundering?"

The big-nosed old man said: "The eldest grandson of the Zhu family was active in Songjiang two years ago, and he left again without any movement, which is not like the style of the Zhu family." ”

Speaking of this, Lao Yu looked at Bian Xuedao: "Speaking of the Zhu family and grandson, our house, Xiao Bian must be the most familiar, the hotel on Tiaoshi Street, Xiao Bian and Zhu Zhichun have shares." ”

Bian Xuedao said: "I haven't heard him say anything about buying a winery. ”

Lao Yu said while cutting the steak: "When I mention the winery, I actually want to say that the Zhujia family's investment vision has always been vicious, and Zhu Haishan has bought a winery with such a large amount of money, and it is estimated that he is very optimistic about the future of the domestic red wine market." I wondered if I could mobilize some funds and go to France to buy a winery? I couldn't afford to collect the eight major estates, so it was okay to collect a mid-range one. You say, if you have all the wineries, what are you doing with other people's wines, then you must be trying to sell the wine produced by your own winery!"

While eating, chatting and tasting wine, talking about the winery for a while, the topic began to diverge, and then learned the Tao and found that these rich generations got together, and it is estimated that they are in a rare state of relaxation, which is very friendly.

At the same time, he also found that these people chat, the amount of information is very large, dare to comment and dare to speak, there are no taboos, and many things are often to the point, and they see things very uniquely and thoroughly.

Wine is good wine, food is good food, and a lot of things said at the dinner table opened Bian Xuedao's eyes, and he felt for the first time that the dinner could be so charming.

Speaking of which, back to wine.

But this time, from French red wine, I talked about Songjiang's local wine, Songjiang Brewery.

Songjiang Brewery is the sixth largest beer brewing enterprise in China, a joint venture between China and Hong Kong, and has been listed in Hong Kong. In 2003, the annual production and sales volume of Songjiang beer reached 1.5 million tons, and its market share accounted for about 76% in Songjiang and about 8% in the country. However, in the following two years, the brewery's business situation took a sharp turn for the worse, and the strategy of building factories everywhere in the previous years was challenged by the capital chain, the pressure of beer from other places and market fluctuations.

By the end of 2005 and the beginning of 2006, the brewery was no longer able to pay the full wages of its employees, and in the most difficult months, they even used beer to pay their wages.

Lao Yu said: "This time, the pine beer is estimated to be really unbearable, and the Hong Kong capital is determined to take action." ”

Jiang Yong said: "I have also heard the rumors, the province and the city have held several meetings recently to study the issue of loose beer. But it's useless to hold meetings, one relies on cash flow, the second relies on management, the third relies on channels, and the fourth relies on ...... Rely on endurance, but in the current environment, who is doing business?"

The big-nosed old man said: "Budweiser's parent company, A-B Company in the United States, is said to have been in contact with the people of pine beer, and the offer in Hong Kong is about 800 million US dollars. ”

An Fat Man chewed the steak and said: "Such a big brewery is only 800 million, and the Zhu family spends 1 billion to buy a winery." ”

Lao Pang said: "There is no comparison, brand awareness, market demand and profit margin are all different. It is not a problem for the winery to be bought and passed on as a family asset for several generations, and the top red wine brands, as long as the craftsmanship does not change much, will not worry about selling. How much worry does it take to change to such a large brewery? Besides, can you invest money abroad in the same way as you invest it in China? For such a large winery, the French government has to give at least 5-8 residency places. ”

Hu Xi, who hadn't spoken much since the beginning of the banquet, suddenly answered: "Three months ago, a sister of mine who was very good at talking about emigrated. ”

Everyone knew that Hu Xi must have something to do, and they all looked at her and waited for her to continue.

Hu Xi put down the knife and fork and said, "This sister of mine had a Swedish boyfriend when she was studying in the United States, and she wanted to marry him and become a Swedish citizen. Her father, an old leader at the bureau level, said that he would not agree to his daughter's marriage to a foreign country. But in the end, my sister said something that touched the stubborn father......"

Hu Xi glanced at Bian Xuedao, and then said, "This sentence is, Dad, you don't have to ask for a child for your grandson to go to kindergarten, primary school, and middle school in China in the future." ”

When it comes to asking for people, of course, the people on the table are all capable people, and they are all related.

No matter how strong a person is, he also has shortcomings in his ability, in this society, some people have too much power, and some places have too many unspoken rules. For example, in the hospital, if you have money, but if you don't ask for help, the doctor won't treat you wholeheartedly, or face each other coldly, or get you a treatment bill of 5 million yuan, do you have a trick?

Lao Pang said: "A comrade-in-arms of mine got a piece of land in a city in the south last year, and because he didn't make it in advance, he almost folded it in. ”

Jiang Yong listened and said, "Tell me, what's the situation." ”

Lao Pang said: "Two comprehensive building projects, one with a construction area of less than 30,000 square meters of planning approval, the approval seal has not been stamped for two years. Another construction area of less than 70,000 square meters of planning acceptance approval seal, stamped for more than one year to cover. Except for large state-owned enterprises, the interest on the funds of real estate companies is all at the market price, and the annual interest rate of about 20 percent is in the market. The project investment is 500 million yuan, and the cost of only one official seal will increase by 100 million yuan a year. ”

Bian Xuedao opened his mouth and asked: "If the acceptance approval is not stamped, your comrade-in-arms has violated the rules?"

Lao Pang said: "Illegality? Brother, you are also in real estate, you should know, building a building is not making a watch, how can the accuracy be very accurate? In the eyes of the bright business level and pure heart to find fault with the approving personnel, I am afraid that there is no problem in the world of projects. ”

Bian Xuedao listened and nodded.

He asked this, not because he didn't understand, but because he felt that it was not polite to just listen and not speak, so he came out to brush it up.

He took a sip of red wine while learning to feel something under the table rubbing his calf. Just about to put down the cup, Hu Xi, who was sitting next to him, held the cup and said to him with deep meaning: "Mr. Bian, take a sip." ”

When Hu Xi spoke, Bian Xuedao's calf was rubbed again, and now he knew that it was Hu Xi who was harassing him with his feet.

clinked glasses with Hu Xi and took a sip, seeing that no one was paying attention, Bian Xuedao held the cup in his right hand, reached under the table with his left hand, and slid his fingers up little by little along the outside of Hu Xi's thigh, and then drew two circles.

Seeing that Bian Xuedao was teased, Hu Xi withdrew her feet, ate the things on the plate seriously, and let Bian Xuedao's fingers roam on her legs.
