Episode 64: Tongqing Building
Compared with the prosperity and brightness of the central area, the Waijiang District across the river is much inferior. This is the estuary of the Owwei River, and the fertile land precipitated on the small impact delta has laid the foundation for the development of agriculture in this area since ancient times. Thirty years ago, X City was designated as a special economic zone, and it has been the birthplace of the city's modernization, but Waijiang District, with a land area of just over 60 square kilometers, is destined to have limited real estate and commercial potential, and has been left far behind after the explosive development of the central area.
Thanks to the fact that the government of the district is quite eye-catching, it has adjusted the direction of development in a timely manner, and has found a new way in addition to the route of heavy commercial development in the central area, but has built the Waijiang District into a well-known information industry base and one of the top ten ports in the country, and the annual GDP has the momentum of competing with the central area. When Cangyuan Group's footprints set foot here, this place that takes the route of port heavy industry and high-tech is destined to leave a deep trace in the history of X City.
The black Toyota domineering drove out of the Jinyang yard with a puff of dust, and Yu Qianqian, who was sitting in the back seat, glanced back at the four copper-plated characters by the door, and bent the corners of his mouth: "Cangxi, the recent movement of your group is not small, even dare to move this kind of thing, and are you not afraid of losing your head?"
"So today, I specially asked Master Guan to check our pulse and see if this road can continue. Lin Cangxi, who was on the other side of the back seat, handed over a cigar and looked at Yu Qian before diligently filling a lit match after holding it forward.
"It's naturally no problem to have me, but don't go too far, the public security must also be clear!"
"This is natural, we will enter a batch at this time throughout the year, and then it will not be handled by the people of my group, and the guy over there suggests that Brother Yu should have less contact. ”
"Well, I understand. A friend on the road also told me about the deeds of the scarface, although he was brave and fierce, and he did not enter the oil and salt, but sometimes he did not pay attention to flexibility, and the advantages would become disadvantages. Yu exhaled a puff of smoke and opened the window.
"But don't worry, this person doesn't like to deal with people in officialdom, and the relationship is limited to the public security. There is no need to tear up with him unless necessary, otherwise our business will not be good. Lin Cangxi lit some ashes into the ashtray on the armrest, and the smile on his face suddenly thickened, "In addition to the matter in the yard today, there is also good news to tell Brother Yu, the land approved by the Waijiang District Government last time has been developed, and I will take you to see it today." ”
Yu turned his head forward and said, "Look at your smile, is there any surprise?"
"Brother Yu, don't forget, when we worshipped the son, the younger brother said that if there are good things, you will definitely be the first to enjoy, and I have never forgotten it for so many years. ”
"Just say this to you, our friendship for so many years can't be faked. Yu Qianqian patted Lin Cangxi's shoulder, and a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes.
Half an hour later, Badao drove into a small town with the atmosphere of the Republic of China, which was a remote area of Waijiang District. Unlike the rough development of the central area, which leaves corners that are not even visible to the surveillance, it still faithfully retains some of the cultural landscape from decades ago. Cangyuan Group is in the name of the developed tourism project, through a complex network of relationships to apply for a small piece of land, as for what to do in the later stage, the district government may not be able to control.
Yu Xiangqian looked a little curiously at the secluded town outside the car window, he was no stranger to the hills in the distance, his sea-view house in the central area was just across the river from it, and the telescope could also see the ruins of the Suojiang Fort built by the Qing Dynasty at the foot of the mountain!
This is an eight-storey building, the exterior walls are all yellow tiles, plus red window frames and a red carpet extending from the hall on the first floor, how can it look a little festive but cheesy, is this what Lin Cangxi called a surprise?
"Lin Dong, Director Yu, welcome to Tongqing Building!" Several people who were waiting at the entrance of the hall early walked up quickly, and the first one was a woman wearing black professional clothes and a thousand manners, and her age was only in her early thirties.
Well...... The sound is beautiful.
This is Yu Xiangqian's first impression of a woman, although she is not a charming city, but she is naturally charming, and her eyes are faintly hooked, she must be a beautiful woman selected by Lin Cangxi!
"Let me introduce, this is Miss Li Concubine, the general manager I arranged to manage all the affairs of Tongqing Building, don't look at her young age, she is an extremely excellent talent in hotel management!" Lin Cangxi gestured, and Li Concubine bowed slightly.
"Don't worry, the talents selected by Mr. Lin must be unique, I don't dare to look down on you. It's just that Miss Li is both good-looking, so I admire it very much!" Yu Xiangqian looked at the beautiful woman in front of him with peaceful eyes, and shook hands with her politely, the delicate and soft touch made him a little reluctant to let go.
"However, Cangxi, the surprise you are talking about, is this hotel?"
"Hey, Brother Yu misunderstood, although Miss Li is a hotel management talent, it doesn't mean that Tongqinglou is a hotel, or ...... It's not just a hotel. Lin Cangxi smiled deeply.
"Please also ask Commissioner Yu to come with me, Tongqing Building has just been officially put into use, and you are the first guest invited by Lin Dong. Concubine Li turned sideways and stretched out her left hand to say "please", Yu Xiangqian was not polite, and walked into the hall with Lin Cangxi one after the other.
As soon as he passed through the sensitive automatic door, an object in the hall attracted Yu Qianqian's attention, it was an almost one-to-one size statue of Guan Gong, the majestic second master held the Qinglong Yanyue knife to face the door, and the pressure of the entire hall seemed to have been raised to a higher level.
"Jin Sinan?" Yu Qianqian, who had been immersed in the customs for many years and had seen all the strange goods entering the customs, instantly recognized the material of Guan Gong's statue and frowned slightly. In his impression, Lin Cangxi has always been a low-key and introverted figure, but for some reason, there is always some ostentatiousness and luxury here in Tongqing Building.
"Guan Chang Yu has good eyesight, this is carved by Lin Dong specially selected from Shu Di with the best golden silk nanmu, Guan Erye is righteous and thin, which can not only suppress evil spirits but also attract wealth, he wants the guests to also get this wealth!" Li Concubine has charming eyes like silk, but her words and deeds are noble and generous, forming a peculiar temperament, which makes Yu Xiangqian stunned.
"I can't see that Cangxi has also started to engage in these image projects, have you been learning crookedly with us people in the system for a long time?" Yu Xiangqian said with a smile.
Brother Yu smiled, this is not called learning crookedly, there are some things in business that must be believed. And if you don't do it enough, how can you be worthy of the guests here?" Lin Cangxi smiled naturally, but Yu Xiangqian still caught the words in his words-
What kind of guests are you entertaining here?
Following the guidance of Concubine Li, it took Yu Qianqian half an hour to visit Tongqing Tower, and even if he was well-informed along the way, he was secretly frightened:
It's a bit extravagant that things here.
The reception hall on the first floor is omitted, and the dining room on the second floor is luxuriously decorated, with all mahogany furniture and luxurious trimmed enamel tableware. The third, fourth and fifth floors are entertainment venues, with KTV, stage, bar, swimming pool, cinema, massage room, and even a magical equipment such as a double steam surf bath. The sixth floor is no more than ten rooms, although it is not comparable to the presidential suite on the seventh floor, but it is not comparable to those five-star hotels. On the top floor, there are warehouses and offices, which provide logistical support for the operation of the entire Tung Hing Building.
This...... It's a palace!
As soon as they walked over, it was already dinner time, and the two of them sat in the specially opened box, watching the beautiful waiters who had obviously been selected continue to come and go, and rare things such as abalone wings and snow silk were soon placed on the table.
"I said Cangxi, I don't understand this, you Cangyuan haven't developed a big hotel like Weiding, why do you want to make such a maze in this remote town?" Yu Qianqian's gaze swept over the wine in the goblet, and he knew that the source of these liquids was the bottle of Louis XIII in the waiter's hand.
"Brother Yu's description is very appropriate!" Lin Cangxi smiled with a smile in his eyes, raised his glass and touched Yu Xiangqian first, "Just like Brother Yu saw, I can say that this place was built at no cost, and there are only two kinds of people invited: my brother and dignitary." Business is a thing that must be willing to invest, so that there will be better returns. ”
"Interesting, what kind of person am I?" Yu Xiangqian seemed to smile.
"You, both!"
"Hahahaha, it's both!
Another glass of foreign wine bottomed out, Lin Cangxi retreated from the waiter in the box, and at the same time glanced at Concubine Li who was standing in the corner, the beautiful woman nodded slightly, left a charming smile to Yu Xiangqian, and silently withdrew from the room.
"Brother Yu, this place will be the fixed point for our brothers to get together in the future, although it is a little remote, but the safety is still guaranteed. However, I would advise you not to come in that bus, it's always a hidden danger. ”
"It makes sense, but it's at least 20 kilometers away from my house, and it's always inconvenient to have no car. Yu gently shook the goblet forward, as if admiring the clear amber color inside.
Lin Cangxi understood, and hurriedly said: "This little meaning, what kind of model does Brother Yu like, I'll get one tomorrow." ”
"How embarrassing is this, it always makes you break the bank. ”
"Where is it, junior brother, I can also help Brother Yu do some of these little things, compared to the things you brought me, these expenses are nothing at all, millions of dollars are too conspicuous, five or six hundred thousand for you is always right. Lin Cangxi paused, as if he had suddenly made up his mind, "Anyway, does Brother Yu have any friendship with the top management of Wang Yang Group?"
"The friendship is not very deep, but Wang Ning, the president of Wang Yang, I still know it, a rare strong woman!"
"It's easy to talk about acquaintance. Lin Cangxi said cautiously, "Wang Ning's son seems to be quite familiar with your family, right?"
