Chapter 491: Patrol
At the end of 19**, Hong Tao, who had served more than one year and four months in prison, was finally released from prison, got into Tan Jing's crown car from the prison gate, and drove all the way back to the new Lido store. om
As soon as he came out, Hong Tao regained his original temperament of being angry and joking, although he saw his uncle driving a brand-new Mercedes-Benz 28o color 1, but he just pretended not to see, didn't ask, and didn't sit, he just couldn't make this uncle happy for even a minute. And Tan Jing's crown is actually not the same, this is when Tan Jing went to Japan for a concert, a Japanese company specially gave it to her, it belongs to the eighth generation of the latest crown, and it is also automatic, which is very suitable for girls to drive.
As soon as the car got on the Third Ring Road, Hong Tao felt a significant change, after less than two years, the number of cars on the road increased significantly, and the most surprising thing for him was that he saw an "old acquaintance" - Yellow Worm!
In the capital in the 90s, there was a kind of taxi that was affectionately called the yellow worm, and it was a mini van, commonly known as noodles! This type of taxi is very cheap to use, with a starting price of ten yuan and can run ten kilometers. At that time, there was no fourth ring road in the capital, and in addition to crossing the city, the ten yuan could almost be walked casually in the city.
Not only is the taxi cheap, but this kind of taxi can also be loaded with things, there is no problem with five or six young men squeezing in, moving to install a TV refrigerator, and even bicycles can be stuffed in, which is very in line with the usage habits of ordinary people. There is something going on at home, and spending ten yuan is not too painful. 100% a civilian taxi.
However, affordability also has disadvantages. That is, it is cold in winter and hot in summer. It's a little better in winter, even if the warm air is not good, you can bear it if you wear more. But in the middle of summer, the taste is unpleasant. No matter what kind of minivan it is, there is no air conditioning, and the motivation is between the driver's and co-pilot's seats, which is equivalent to riding on a motor, and the heat dissipation should not be underestimated.
When I usually run, the wind blows in from the window. Barely bearable. Once you are stuck in traffic or wait for the traffic light to stop, you can wonder what you feel, 100% free sauna, or dry steam! In the summer, many taxi drivers would have patches of prickly heat on their thighs and backs, which were all heated out raw.
However, at that time, taxis were all contracted by individuals, and after paying a small amount of money, the rest was all their own. So as long as the drivers don't die of heat, they are still willing to grit their teeth and sweep the work on the road. It is not a dream to get a hundred and eighty thousand a year to be diligent, for the taxi industry, the drivers of the year were very happy, painful and happy.
At this time, noodles have not really become popular. It's just a small scale to do some pilots. The real large-scale investment in the taxi industry will have to wait until the pilot is completed and the state allows private capital to intervene in the car rental industry. Only then can you see the small yellow bread on the street, scurrying around the streets near and below the city all day long. Sometimes you wave and smack. It can stop several cars at the same time, so this yellow worm can be understood as a locust, a large patch.
"Don't go back yet, take me to Fangzhuang's new store, and the western restaurant......" Hong Tao didn't pay attention to the wind and dust to drive away bad luck in later generations, let alone go to the Lama Temple and Baiyun Temple to burn incense. Even if that thing works, it is prepared for those old cannons who have entered the palace, and they go to ask for a comfort, so as not to be caught again when they do bad things again. Hong Tao felt that it was enough for him to go in once, there was no need to beg for any next time, instead of wasting that strength, it was better to care more about his own industry.
"Don't be in such a hurry, you go back to take a shower and rest, Sister Xue and I will take you to a good place in the evening, you promise you haven't been!" Tan Jing is different from Han Xue, she doesn't have the feeling of being Hong Tao's assistant, and she still talks as casually as before.
"I've been resting every day, it's been too long, and I don't have to take a shower, you smell it, I smell it. Hong Tao doesn't have that kind of style, he prefers this kind of easier way of getting along, as long as he can get down to business in the end, it is not a problem for him to spend a few more words.
"Go, don't move...... Do you need to stop and say hello to your uncle?" Tan Jing pushed back Hong Tao's head.
"Leave him alone, he has already passed just now, and he doesn't know what his surname is when he drives a broken Mercedes-Benz, virtue!" Hong Tao was really speechless for Tan Jing's attention to driving, the two cars were walking on the road that was not crowded, she didn't even know that the car behind was still there, and such a driver actually dared to go on the road!
The new Lido store is on the east side of the road not far from the south of Yufeiqiao, which is a three-story community annex building, which was originally bought by Han Xue at a price of 3.5 million yuan, of which more than 2 million yuan is a bank loan, with a total of more than 12,000 square meters, which is of commercial nature.
In this matter, Hong Tao admired Han Xue's stupid boldness, Hong Tao did say that Han Xue would come here to buy a commercial façade house, but he really didn't expect Han Xue to have such a big courage and dare to eat such a large commercial building in one go, of course, Han Xue's choice is correct, even if there is no loan, the wholly-owned acquisition is 100% profitable, or a lot of money. But soon Hong Tao hated Han Xue again, because later Hong Tao asked Han Xue what she planned to do when she bought such a big building, but Han Xue didn't think about it, and replied directly to Hong Tao: Where do I know?
Hong Tao really didn't let this place be idle, with such a large commercial building, it was more than enough to do anything. When the new Lido store was designed, it was naturally the best location, but just a new Lido store could not use such a large area, it could not even use a quarter of the second floor, and 500 square meters was already a big one, and it could not be more luxurious. The original small private room for beauty has been changed into a large private room with a bathroom, sand, and TV, and the beauty is no longer the original stiff large mirror with a few swivel chairs in front of it, and a large partition design is also adopted, so that each stylist can serve her own fixed customers individually, and there is little interference with each other.
In addition to this Lido No. 3 store, the western restaurant called Tang Diego is downstairs from Meimei, which occupies a total of two floors of about 1,000 square meters. On the first floor is the restaurant, which is divided into two parts, one large and one small, which can accommodate 200 people at the same time. The lobby can also accommodate buffets, cocktail receptions and other events, while the restaurant's cake shop and kitchen are located in the basement.
The design here is all made by the uncle to find professionals, and the decoration is still the responsibility of the aunt's construction company, but this is not a New Zealand flavor, but an authentic Argentinian restaurant. The reason is very simple, New Zealanders are not too good at eating, and it is too expensive to hire French, Spanish, and Italian chefs, so Ralph and Ms. Jiang simply contracted here. These two brought in a whole team of chefs from Argentina, and even a few Argentine waiters, planning to do a big job in the capital.
Unfortunately, their luck was not good, and they caught up with the chaos as soon as they opened, and even if the food tasted good, business was relatively cold, and there were basically no Chinese customers to dine except for their embassy friends and some customers of foreign companies in Beijing. But they don't have to worry, Hong Tao didn't forget their old friends in prison, he put down his words, the annual contract money can not be paid, all owed, when the profit is not too late, if it is not profitable within ten years, Hong Tao will compensate them for the loss of the two of them.
At such a price, Hong Tao demanded that Ralph and Ms. Jiang must maintain the restaurant's taste and style to be 100% Argentinian and not change it to cater to domestic customers. The rest is for them to maintain themselves, although the business of the western restaurant is not very good, but without the pressure of contract fees, just wages and imported ingredients, can barely break even.
In fact, Hong Tao doesn't care about whether this restaurant can become popular or profitable, he just said that, if it doesn't make a profit for ten years, then Hong Tao will be a favor. When the time comes, the contract fee will be waived for Ralph and Ms. Jiang, and it will be over to compensate for some losses. The reason why he wants to build this restaurant is mainly for another purpose, and there is no hurry now, after a few years, this restaurant will really play its due role.
"Hello Manager Tan...... Hello Manager Tan...... Hello sir, please go to the lounge with me to rest, we have authentic Cuban cigars here, as well as a variety of red wine whiskeys, if you want to move, there are also pool tables and pinball tables......" As soon as Tan Jing and Hong Tao entered the door of the Lido No. 3 store, they were greeted by two waitresses standing inside the door, who obviously knew Tan Jing, but did not know Hong Tao. However, their sense of service and Su zhì are not low, while introducing the service items in the lounge to Hong Tao, they set up a person to guide Hong Tao in front of him.
"I won't go to the lounge, I'll go inside first......" Hong Tao looked left and right at the foyer, which didn't look like a beauty shop, more like a medical institution, and after entering the door, there was a big shadow wall, the shadow wall was painted with the Lido logo, and in front of the shadow wall was a huge front desk, and a little girl wearing a nurse's uniform was standing inside and looking at Hong Tao with a smile.
