Chapter 331: There are already people
This reason seems to be quite plausible. At least it can explain why it was Bai Wenyan who called Xu Xiaoman, not Xu Xiaoman's question of calling Bai Wenyan.
Anyway, Li Xi's heart is balanced.
"Okay, I'll ask her. ”
Xu Xiaoman smiled, with a bit of naughty meaning in his tone, "Mr. Li, I'm waiting for your good news." ”
Somehow, Li Xi always felt that there was a hint of coquettishness in the other party's words. However, he was not averse to this way of speaking. Of course, this is also because Xu Xiaoman himself is also a beauty.
If it were a man who spoke to himself in such a tone, then he would have died. When dating men, beautiful women can more or less take advantage of a little advantage.
Li Xi hung up the phone and went to ask Bai Wenyan.
As soon as Bai Wenyan saw Li Xi coming back, he couldn't help but ask, "Li Xi, what did that Xu Xiaoman say?"
It can be seen that although she has been teasing her daughter, she is actually quite concerned about Li Yi's contact with Xu Xiaoman, and Xu Xiaoman's own reaction.
"She said, ......" Li Xi said Xu Xiaoman's suggestion, and he was still a little worried that Bai Wenyan would not be happy, so after speaking, he added: "If you are willing to cooperate with her, you can cooperate with her, and if you are not willing to cooperate with her, forget it." Anyway, if you don't use those buttons, I won't sell them to the outside. ”
Bai Wenyan listened to Li Xi's last sentence, and couldn't help but be a little moved, to be honest, she has seen a lot of good-sounding men on her lips, but like Li Xi, who can do what she says, and also help herself so many men, it is really the first time for her to experience it.
For a moment, I couldn't help but feel a little feeling in my heart.
However, Bai Wenyan was quite interested in cooperating with Xu Xiaoman, and said in surprise: "Li Xi, you mean that Xu Xiaoman is willing to cooperate with me and make button dresses together?"
Seeing Bai Wenyan's expression, Li Xi was still a little disapproving in his heart, and said with a smile: "It's not a big deal to cooperate with her, right? Don't forget, the reason why she wants to cooperate with you is not for those buttons, if it doesn't go through you, I will give her the buttons? ”
As everyone knows, when Bai Wenyan heard this, he couldn't help but have a trace of confusion on his face, Xu Xiaoman is not you, so you refuse to use your buttons. But when you give me the buttons, do you want to hint to me, who am I?
But why don't you just make it clear?
After all, she is not a girl who has never been in the world, Bai Wenyan quickly calmed down, and said with a smile: "That's Xu Xiaoman, she is very famous in the fashion design industry, right? Many people are proud to cooperate with her." ”
"That's up to you. Li Xi heard Bai Wenyan say this, so he stopped persuading, "She just told me that if you agree, you can contact her yourself." I have her contact information here, when and how to contact her, you can do it yourself. ”
Li Xi said, and threw the mobile phone in his hand directly to Bai Wenyan.
Bai Wenyan took the mobile phone, wrote down Xu Xiaoman's mobile phone number in his mobile phone, and at the same time did not forget to store Li Xi's contact information in his mobile phone, and used his mobile phone to dial Li Xi.
The relationship between the two has known each other for so long, because Li Xi is too busy, and because he is naturally more homely, he has not exchanged contact information with Bai Wenyan.
Bai Wenyan returned the mobile phone to Li Xi, and went to the side to call Xu Xiaoman.
After a while, Bai Wenyan walked back with an obvious smile on his face, obviously having negotiated with Xu Xiaoman.
The two said some more words and sent Bai Wenyan away, Li Xi was about to go to see the little chick, but he might as well receive a call from Zhou Sirui again.
To Li Xi's surprise, Zhou Sirui called, and it turned out to be for the banquet, "Li Xi, there is a big banquet the day after tomorrow, do you know?"
"Which one are you talking about?" Li Xi couldn't help but be stunned for a moment when he heard Zhou Sirui's words.
In fact, with Zhou Sirui's family background, he may not be qualified to participate in such a banquet. However, the current Zhou family, especially Zhou Sirui's family, is almost in decline due to a strange illness of Zhou Qingyuan.
When people talk about the Zhou family, they mainly refer to Zhou Sirui's uncle's family, even if they participate in the banquet, most of them are her uncles who are invited, as for Zhou Sirui herself, the possibility of being invited is really not very large, plus the current Zhou Sirui is in the city, she started a business by herself, and there are really not many people who know her, or who know her identity.
"It's the banquet held at the house of the rich man Yan Zhaohua. Zhou Sirui said as she spoke, and suddenly realized that Li Xi might not know this name, so she hurriedly added, "Do you recognize this person?"
Li Xi laughed when he heard this, "I don't know this person, but I know about the banquet." ”
Yan Zhaohua, he really didn't know this person, mainly because he hadn't seen it.
"That's right. Zhou Sirui hesitated for a moment before asking Li Xi, "Li Xi, do you have any way to get an invitation?"
"What?" Li Xi asked Zhou Sirui rhetorically, he had an invitation, but an invitation can only go to two people. Especially the invitation card in his hand, which was asked for for Bai Wenyan, of course, he went with Bai Wenyan.
Zhou Sirui said: "Xiuyan and I also want to take a look at the banquet." As if worried that Li Xi didn't understand what he meant, he added: "There are so many noble ladies at this kind of banquet, if Xiuyan and I can participate, we can take the opportunity to promote our beauty salon." ”
"That's right. Li Xi understood what Zhou Sirui meant, in fact, this kind of beauty salon was originally opened to earn the money of that kind of rich lady.
Generally speaking, the income gap between a high-grade beauty salon and a non-high-grade beauty salon is extremely huge, and it is simply impossible to calculate.
For example, a high-end beauty salon receives those extremely wealthy ladies. The beauty salons of no grade usually receive middle-class urban female white-collar workers, or chartered women who collect rent.
The difference between these two types of people, the cost of beauty at one time, or the amount of money spent on beauty in a year in the case of a membership system, is not comparable at all.
The former may spend millions or even millions of dollars a year, while the latter's expenses in this area are only tens of thousands of yuan a year, or even 10,000 yuan or thousands of yuan.
Therefore, compared with the two, to do the business of a real lady, it only needs to develop one customer, which is better than the income of the latter to develop hundreds of customers.
Of course, in the business of those noble ladies, the other party's pickiness in service is still better than a hundred.
But in any case, the business of the former is much more promising than that of the latter. If the business is done well, you can drive a famous car and live in a luxury house, and even if the latter does well, it may not be able to reach anywhere, and it is very likely that it will end up just an ordinary well-off life.
Zhou Sirui and Zhu Xiuyan cooperated to open a beauty salon, and with the vision of the two, they naturally positioned their customer base at the high-end at the beginning.
However, these high-end customers are really not so easy to develop. Especially these noble ladies usually have their own fixed beauty places, and no one is willing to easily change beauticians when Zhou Sirui and Zhu Xiuyan are unable to provide much better beauty results than each other's current beauty places.
Therefore, it is really not easy for Zhou Sirui and Zhu Xiuyan to develop customers. Let's put it this way, due to the high-end positioning, even if it opens, for a long time, both of them will face a situation where there will be no customers coming to their door.
It is very likely that this beauty salon will not be able to open at all.
Of course, it is certainly impossible for the two to sit still, and actively trying their best to develop customers has become the inevitable and only choice for the two.
Under such a premise, I heard that there was such an important banquet, and there was no possibility that the two would not join in the fun, although even if they went, they might not really be able to reach customers, but if they didn't go, they would definitely not be able to attract any customers.
Although the two wanted to go, the invitation was not something that could be obtained casually. I couldn't help but want to ask Li Xi for help.
In fact, looking for Li Xi's help, compared with Zhou Sirui and Zhu Xiuyan, Zhu Xiuyan seemed quite disapproving.
Of course, she doesn't look down on Li Xi, since that time Li Xi sold an elixir for hundreds of millions, Zhu Xiuyan has an almost crazy enthusiasm for Li Xi.
But social status, and how much money you have, really doesn't have much to do with it.
As I said before, social status, whether it is the East or the West, the highest status must be the powerful class, the West is the inherited aristocracy, and the East is ...... Needless to say. The second is to do business.
The main reason why it is engaged in industry, rather than speculating in real estate and stocks, and engaging in real estate, is, of course, because if it is successful, it can be passed on to one's son, so that his son can pass it on to his grandson, so that his children and grandchildren will be rich.
As for the money that Li Xi made by auctioning the elixir, not to mention that it was only a few hundred million, even if it was billions, in the eyes of those elites in the upper class, he was still just a nouveau riche, and he would have to eat it up sooner or later.
Social status, and basically not bring any change because of this.
Even, this kind of nouveau riche will not be respected by this society because he has a lot of money.
For example, after winning 5 million, we dare not show it, otherwise it is easy to be robbed by some people with ulterior motives.
And some of the rich, although everyone knows that he has money, there are far fewer people who go to rob him of his money than there are those who fight the ideas of the nouveau riche who have fallen from the sky?
The key reason, of course, is that people's money is accumulated bit by bit by hard work. Relatively speaking, these people who have become rich by their own efforts are originally more respected by society as a whole than the nouveau riche.
ZHU XIUYAN ALSO THINKS LIKE THIS ABOUT LI XI, ALTHOUGH IN HER HEART, SHE REALLY WANTS TO KNEEL FOR LI XI, BUT LI XI'S SOCIAL STATUS IS LIKE THAT IN HER EYES.
Zhou Sirui is different, Zhou Sirui has a much deeper understanding of Li Xi than Zhu Xiuyan, not only has she seen the friendship between Li Xi and Zhou Youzheng and several old men, but also knows that Li Xi can freely enter and exit the underworld and the Yang world.
Especially the latter, this kind of person is simply terrifying in real society.
If such a person does not have a social status, then it is not known who will have a social status.
Therefore, Zhou Sirui will ask Li Xi for help.
When Li Xi heard this, he couldn't help but feel embarrassed, to be honest, he could understand Zhou Sirui's thoughts. In addition, if he really wants to get another invitation, he may not be able to get it.
However, having already passed Fang Yunzhu, I asked for an invitation, and then asked for an invitation, no matter what, in short, there was a trace of ...... Lose face.
Dude is really not the kind of person who is so urgent for the so-called upper-class banquet.
At the moment, he said euphemistically: "Si Rui, it's not that I don't want to help you, but I just got an invitation through a friend." ”
"Do you have an invitation?" Zhou Sirui was slightly stunned, but quickly came back to her senses, "Li Xi, that's just right, aren't you alone? Just take me, let's go together." ”
"This ......" Li Xi couldn't help but feel distressed, Zhou Sirui's proposal was also something he didn't expect in advance, but that invitation, he had already decided to go with Bai Wenyan.
I had to say: "Si Rui, let's go again in the future, I really can't take you this time." ”
Zhou Sirui was anxious when she heard this, and said unhappily: "Li Xi, why are you like this? Do you still treat me as your friend?"
She actually wanted to say, that time in my house, you still kissed me, asked you to take me to a banquet, and you still pushed back.
However, for Zhou Sirui, who has a tender face, this is unspeakable after all.
Li Xi hurriedly defended, "I really can't take you there, Si Rui, there are already people?"
"Someone?" Zhou Sirui was stunned for a moment, "Who is it?"
This questioning has a faint meaning of questioning, and it seems to be ...... Zhou Sirui on the other end of the phone was a little angry.
It's no wonder that Zhou Sirui is angry, you know, this kind of banquet, one invitation for two people, these two people, either a man and a woman, or two women.
As for the two men, unless it is a certain man, with his own son. But it's really rare to take your son to a formal banquet.
Under normal circumstances, two men, you still have to go as far as you want.
This is despite the fact that in some countries, there are even laws that explicitly include men in the scope of legal protection.
But in this kind of formal setting, don't say that two men are really like that, even if there are just signs of that situation, or make people feel that they have that tendency, it is still a thing that cannot be put on the table.
Even severe patients do not show up in such situations.
Therefore, as soon as Zhou Sirui heard that Li Xi was two people, he immediately determined that the other person was a woman. (To be continued.) )
