Chapter 66: Two Old Men
"Young man, don't you think you're a bit aggressive and oppressive?"
An old voice came from behind George, causing George to stop as he was about to step out of the café.
Turning around and looking at the tea restaurant, there are not very many, but most of them consciously give a certain amount of space, so that it is convenient for each other to talk and communicate, many of the people who come here to eat are partners or friends together, because the environment and food here are very suitable for their tastes, and many rich people in Xiangjiang are the favorite when they talk and communicate in such a pleasant environment either on the golf course or in this pleasant environment.
Soon George saw an old man not far from him, dressed in a Tang suit, with silver hair, and a lot of wrinkles and age spots on his face, sitting on a seat with a sea view five or six meters away from him, looking at him with a sparkling light.
"Hello old man, junior Carter George is polite. ”
George walked towards the old man under the gaze of everyone, and after standing still in front of the old man, George made a slight bend gesture to show respect for the old man, and it was also a formal salute.
"You're a foreigner?"
Seeing George's respectful luggage, the old man nodded slightly, but when he heard George's name, his eyes were slightly stunned, and then a hint of understanding flashed, and he pointed to the seat opposite him, signaling that he could sit down and then spoke.
"The younger generation is from Los Angeles, because my mother is Chinese, so when I came up with my name, I used my mother's surname, and made a name that can be used by both Chinese and Western, and you can also call me George.
This is my cousin Qiao Tao, who I have only heard of since I was born and has not seen him, and I just met him today, he is from the mainland, because he knew that I appeared in Xiangjiang, and his uncle sent him to look for me. ”
George didn't sit down immediately, but explained where he came from, and then pointed to Qiao Tao and introduced him to the unknown old man in front of him.
"Let's sit together. ”
When the old man heard George's explanation, he also knew why George was so angry, and George didn't think that although he was wearing an ordinary brand-name costume on his body, some of his temperament could erase these disadvantages at will.
Qiao Tao is different, as a mainlander, he is very simple to be recognized in Xiangjiang, and the arrogance of Xiangjiang people in the face of Chinese mainlanders is not something to say casually.
"I wonder if the younger generation has the honor to know the name of the old man?"
Xiangjiang Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, there are too many rich and powerful people, George has only been to Xiangjiang for a few months, even if he has been to Xiangjiang in his previous life and has some understanding of Xiangjiang, but it is only superficial, and there is not much understanding of Xiangjiang.
Since the old man in front of him dared to reprimand himself, it must be an old man with a background that he didn't know, George maintained a very high respect for the old man in line with the idea of getting married, of course, even if the old man did not have any special background, just this age was enough for George to maintain a certain respect for him.
"The old man's surname is Guo, everyone who knows me calls me Guo Lao, although you are half Chinese, you have enough understanding of Chinese culture, and you speak Chinese well, you can also call me so." ”
The old man looked at the sitting there with his eyelids drooping slightly, and he did not look directly like in the West, but treated himself with Chinese etiquette, and said with a smile on his face.
"Hello Guo!
Guo Lao is good!"
George and Qiao Tao stood up again and saluted the old man, and greeted the old man again.
"Sit down, there is not so much etiquette in front of me, as long as you don't scold my old man for being nosy in your heart. The old man waved his hand at the two with a gentle smile on his face, and when they were seated again, he asked:
Guo Lao said with a smile. George smiled hesitantly and did not continue to speak, he knew that the identity of the old man was definitely not simple, otherwise ordinary people would not come forward to do such a thankless and offensive thing.
"Young people, you have to be forgiving and forgiving, and you can teach some proper lessons.
Seeing that you know Chinese culture very well, then you should know that it is not a good thing to implicate the innocent and harm the pond fish, unless you have other intentions, otherwise such a big move is not what a shrewd businessman should do. ”
"Guo Lao is serious, and the younger generation just wants to get justice for his younger brother and himself.
As a businessman, when facing customers, not only does he not have the principle of equality when treating guests, but looks at people with colored glasses, which is a taboo in the service industry and disrespectful to guests.
Regardless of whether the guest is rich or not, as long as the guest appears in front of him, he must show the smile and etiquette of facing God to face the guest, and he cannot judge that the person has no money and no status because of his clothes and actions, so he will put on another face.
A camera worth 300,000 yuan is a valuable item for anyone, and for customers, it is the most basic principle to inspect the goods and make sure that there is no problem, and it is also the consistent rule of all merchants.
In his eyes, a young man who has never seen the world in the face of ordinary clothes and excitement in the face of new things is a typical lower riba person, and he can eat here probably because he has a little money in his pocket, and he is just a fat man who slaps his face and fills his fat, and it is not worth his serious treatment.
I don't care about such a person, from the moment I was born, I don't know how much I have experienced so much cursing and how much abuse I have experienced, and I can directly ignore him.
But my brother can't, and if anyone has any disrespect for him, I will make him pay the price he deserves.
As for what you said about implicating the innocent in the pond fish, in my opinion, this is nothing, The Peninsula Hotel is the banner of the service industry in Hong Kong, where the customer is God and should not just talk or divide people.
Regardless of whether that person is an employee or not, since he appears here and does this kind of thing, then as the owner, he has to bear the corresponding responsibility, at least there must be improper management. ”
George faced the old man's intentions and directly denied it, even if the old man said what he thought in his heart, he couldn't admit that since it was under the banner of harming the pond fish, he couldn't change it, and once he changed, the form would be immediately different.
Xiangjiang's shareholders and melon-eating masses are the most susceptible to the guidance of the news, with this reason, it will not only arouse sympathy, but also directly reflect on the market, it is easy to pick out the fault of a hotel that has been intact in all aspects, he doesn't want to be easily changed by the old man in a few words, otherwise Liu Daxiong and Lin Yue, who are in action, will jump to their feet.
"What a sharp-tongued young man, no matter how much you quibble, you can't change your calculations and what you're doing.
The depth of the scheming makes the old man sigh to himself. ”
Guo Lao on the other side had not yet spoken, and another deep but hearty voice appeared in George's ears, at this moment George wanted to jump to his feet, what kind of people are these, one after another relying on the old and selling the old.
"The old gentleman's words are wrong, but this is the case and cannot be changed. ”
Facing another old man who suddenly appeared, George took a look at the brick, then stood up, bowed slightly at the old man, and said categorically.
At the same time, George noticed that many people in the tea restaurant stood up and bowed their waists to the old man from a distance after the arrival of the old man, as a sign of respect, and this discovery made George know that the old man in front of him was definitely a giant and a great person.
"Brother Huo, you're here. ”
Guo Lao, who was sitting opposite George, stood up on crutches after seeing the old man, and wanted to push away the chair and walk towards the visitor, but before he could move, the person walked in front of him, stretched out his hand, and the two held tightly together.
"Sima Yi's heart, everyone knows, no matter what reason you find, no matter how sophistry you are, it can't change the sniping and coveting heart that you are now uniting with Liu Daxiong and Lin Yue to snipe and covet the Xiangjiang Shanghai Hotel. ”
After the two old men greeted each other, the person who came sat down next to Guo Lao, and the opposite side was still given to George and Qiao Tao, and after they re-seated, Huo Lao ruthlessly revealed George's thoughts.
All of a sudden, everyone in the entire café was in an uproar, no one here was a fool, they all knew what George's real goal was, no one thought that George could succeed, although it could be seen that he had enough money.
Originally, I thought that this young man was not asking for hardships on his own, but you must know that the Kadoorie family had a wealth of more than 100 billion Hong Kong dollars in the early nineties, and after these years of development and investment, it is far more than that, sniping at the place where he started, this is a provocation to the Kadoorie family, and it will definitely get a strong counterattack from them.
But at this moment, George's partner was revealed, and they immediately didn't think it was an impossible thing.
Two of the top ten families in Xiangjiang shot at the same time, and with the young man in front of them who didn't know the depths, they only now found that a big war was about to appear in front of them.
Can the Kadoorie family win as it did on the previous occasions in the face of a three-way siege? No one dares to draw this conclusion now.
"Young people, if you don't look up when you look down when doing business in Xiangjiang, maybe you will be the partner tomorrow, take a step back, everyone will be happy, and you can also get the friendship of the Kadoorie family, why not. ”
The old man saw that George was silent, his face was calm and calm, and he couldn't see what was going on in his heart, so he couldn't help but praise in his heart and continued.
In his opinion, no matter in the deep youth, he is still in the ranks of young people after all, and in the face of temptation, he will definitely be tempted, after all, it is much better to have one more friend than one more enemy.
