Chapter 082: The First Night in the Capital
ps: Today's festival is not lost? It seems that I owe 8 more to draw the line. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoBookkeeping...... Well, I still want to thank you all for your support, and I've noticed everyone's comments.
At nine o'clock that night, when the fat man came to the hotel to look for Jin Zhongming in a sweat, he found that the other party was sitting on the edge of his bed and playing chess with a beautiful little girl in a suit. This made him very embarrassed, and he always felt that he was disturbing other people's good things after releasing other people's pigeons.
However, Jin Zhongming, who was disturbed by a good thing, did not feel uncomfortable, and he even showed great enthusiasm for the fat man's visit, which in turn made the already anxious Mr. Yu at a loss.
"I'm so sorry. In desperation, Yu Dong could only apologize again and again. "Mr. Jin, today's affairs are really all on me, and I have nothing to say. However, there was indeed an emergency at home, so I flew to Nanjing in a hurry in the middle of the night yesterday and flew back in a hurry today......
"I see, there is a reason for it, and I am not an unsympathetic person. "Kim Jong-myeong's attitude is really good. "Forget about the morning's things, but it's rare to see someone older than you, so you have to do your best to be a landlord, invite me to have a supper, right?"
Of course, this request is reasonable, and it is extremely easy to do, and it is even the proper meaning of the question, so Yu Dong immediately waved his hand to take Jin Zhongming to Wangfujing Snack Street...... Well, if you change to a few Koreans, you might be recruited, and Wangfujing and Snack Street are very high-grade when you hear it, isn't it? In fact, it is also a place that specializes in fooling foreigners.
However, Jin Zhongming did not say it directly, but followed Chu Long out with a relaxed face...... Of course, this couldn't help but make Yu Dong look at Chu Long twice, which made him believe that these two people had adultery!
In this way, the three of them got out of the hotel and got into Yu Dong's car, connected with a driver from Yu Dong, and the group of four immediately set off with great interest. Looking like this, it seems to be a pleasant autumn night in the capital!
When the car had just driven to Dongsi, Jin Zhongming suddenly spoke:
"Brother driver, turn north at the intersection of the East Fourth Road in front, let's go to Lama Temple. ā
Of course, the driver was the first to react, because he needed to drive, so he responded vaguely on one side and glanced at his boss seven or eight times in one minute...... But it may be that our Mr. Yu is really a little exhausted today, and he has been in a daze, and he didn't think to give the driver a color.
Fortunately, the people who can be drivers are basically the boss's henchmen, so even if Yu Dong didn't speak, the driver also understood that this young man was the boss's honored guest, and with common sense, he should still listen to this.
So, when the car came to the intersection of the East Fourth Road, the driver turned skillfully and drove directly to the north.
But that's not the end of the story!
After passing the Lama Temple and going to the North Second Ring Road, with Jin Zhongming's order again, the car turned around again and went straight to the pond. Then, the really terrifying thing happened, Jin Zhongming, the South Korean stick, actually commanded an old driver in Beijing to drill through the complicated road conditions of Xiaoxitian, and then impartially found the exit of the road facing the middle of the North Division and the North Post, and finally the car went all the way north across the Jimen Bridge with complicated road conditions to the vicinity of the North Third Ring Road.
But fortunately, this crazy late-night trip finally came to an end, and the car finally stopped at a dark alley, whether it was the driver or Yu Dong, they were immediately relieved as the car stopped.
"Old Yu. Jin Zhongming dragged the other party's arm and got out of the car with a smile. "Is Wangfujing Snack Street a place for people to eat?
Yu Dong pursed his lips but didn't dare to talk, in other words, he didn't even know what kind of place this was, okay? But at the same time, he couldn't really show his timidity, because he graduated from Beiying, and if he hadn't crossed the Jimen Bridge just now, he should have come to Beiyingmen.
Therefore, this broken place in front of him is theoretically still his territory!
"Forget it. Jin Zhongming probably didn't think it was boring, so he let go of the other party's arm a little bored, and then walked directly to the alley. "Actually, I also thought of it casually, Wangfujing definitely can't go, and Dongdaemun Night Market is estimated to be too late. Since you want to reminisce about the past, aren't you from Beiying? Then let's just find a roadside stall near Beiying and have a barbecue or something......"
"Is there a barbecue in this place?" Yu Dong finally reacted, and then quickly followed, saying that, he couldn't help but believe it, the dark alley couldn't even get through a car, and there was no light inside, you said that there was a barbecue stall here, at least there had to be a little fire?
But in fact, at this moment, I really don't believe that there is only Yu Dong, who was born in Beiying, who has a barbecue stall here. Chu Long didn't say it, she couldn't understand Chinese at all, she just followed Jin Zhongming step by step. However, the driver over there even believed that there was food in it......
Why, you ask? It's very simple, this driver has already been stunned by Jin Zhongming along the way! You know, it's a big night, and a foreigner on the other side just closes his eyes and opens his mouth to turn left at the intersection in front of him, and closes his mouth when he encounters a bridge over the moat...... You are a driver, I am a driver? You are mixing in the capital, I am mixing in the capital?
In the middle of the night, I really came out of the alley of Xiaoxitian under the guidance of the other party...... This Nima, from today onwards, the geographical situation from the North Second Ring Road to the Third Ring Road Lao Tzu is only convinced by this Mr. Kim from South Korea! Therefore, even if there is a black hole in front of him, he says that there is food in it, that is, there is real food!
In this way, the four of them walked through the alley blindly, and followed Jin Zhongming in the middle of the alley to turn a pedestrian fence that was only two people wide. And just after passing through the fence and turning a corner, all of a sudden, the front of the four of them became bright and bright!
Yu Dong was stunned, only to see a lively night market with only a dozen stores in front of him!
Barbecue, spicy fragrant pot or something, what northern Anhui noodles, finger cakes, Yunnan cross-bridge rice noodles, Xi'an meat sandwich buns, stone pot bibimbap, bone mushroom soup, crayfish, Jinyu mutton soup......
At this moment, Yu Dong finally understood that after losing his politeness in the morning, even the advantage of the home field would not play any role. Although I don't know how the other party is so familiar with the capital, is it a natural genius who can't forget it after looking at the map, or has he sent someone to investigate in advance, or is ......it some other means? Then you can't use those dishonest means to fool people anymore.
As for the so-called negotiation, one is the sincerity of cooperation, and the other is to rely on momentum to test around the psychological bottom line. Therefore, it is very effective to reveal the necessary inscrutable at this time...... It's just that at this moment, it is Kim Jong Ming who seems more unfathomable in the negotiations, not himself.
Just when Yu Dong was still helpless, Jin Zhongming had already taken the lead and sat down, and then began to order on his own.
What kind of grilled fish in the storefront, the grilled wings of the roadside stall, the mutton soup opposite, the crayfish next door, he even asked Chu Long for a meat sandwich bun to try, but he didn't know if it was authentic or not.
"Little Kim. "After Yu Dong sat down here, he was no longer called Mr. Jin, this is actually the real good rhythm in entertainment. "You're pretty familiar with these things?"
"Generally average. Jin Zhongming shook his head, he saw that the other party was not pretentious, so he became frank. "I've also filmed in China, so I roughly remember the directions and things. ā
Yu Dong suddenly realized: "When did it happen, can you still remember these things?"
"That's right......" Jin Zhongming nodded in agreement, as if he was about to continue to say a few words on the entertainment.
But at this moment, a gust of night wind suddenly blew, it was November, although the trees were evergreen, but at this moment they were swept away by the wind and sprinkled a lot of fallen leaves, everyone couldn't dodge, the stall owners hurriedly tried their best to cover their stalls, and the diners were busy reaching out to cover the food on the table.
Looking at the familiar scenes of people around him, Jin Zhongming's face suddenly became a little trance-like.
The wind passed, and the dishes began to be served in the same way, Chu Long's face was full of excitement with a hint of curiosity, to put it bluntly, no matter how stable the age of the person is, it is still there. The driver on the other side was conscientiously fulfilling his duties, first placing the dishes and chopsticks without saying a word, and then helping to open the beer.
As for Yu Dong, although he didn't stare at Jin Zhongming rudely, he was also puzzled by the other party's sudden gaffe.
"Oppa, is there anything wrong?" Chu Long finally couldn't bear it anymore after finding that her excited expression did not remind Jin Zhongming, she directly reached out and secretly tugged the other party. "Mr. Yu is looking at you. ā
Although he spoke Korean, Yu Dong also knew that the other party should be reminding Jin Zhongming, so he smiled kindly at Chu Long.
"Nothing. Jin Zhongming also quickly smiled and retracted his senses. "Just looking at the table full of dishes, I suddenly thought of a joke I heard from the crew of "Casting a Name" when I was eating barbecue here......"
"Really?" Yu Dong immediately chimed in. "Tell me about it?"
That's what the joke says. Jin Zhongming smiled and pointed to the grilled fish in front of him. "The so-called fish in the North Underworld, its name is Kun, the Kun is so big that it can't be stewed in a pot......" Speaking of this, Yu Dong didn't react, the driver had already laughed, but Jin Zhongming was not finished, and he then pointed to the roasted wings that were still on the barbecue grill. "Turning into a bird, its name is Peng, Peng's big, it needs two barbecue grills, a secret system, and a spicy ......"
At this moment, Yu Dong couldn't help but spray, after all, this paragraph is really funny, and it is interesting to contact the identity of the other party's Korean stick. Actually, not to mention Yu Dong and the driver, this joke still sounds quite fresh at this time of 10 years, so except for Chu Long, who didn't understand, even the people at the tables next to him laughed.
And after the atmosphere was driven, the scene finally had a normal feeling in the night market in Beijing. In other words, Yu Dong has gone from being mixed in the system to being outside the system, almost starting from scratch, and then developing to the point where he wants to be listed on the NASDAQ in the United States. Even in the end, even the driver who has not drunk can interject from time to time.
In this way, the topic went from "Casting a Name" to Beiying next door, and then from current politics to rumors in the entertainment circles of China and South Korea, and finally from the hardships of entrepreneurship to the difficulties of listing...... By this time, it was already past 12 o'clock, and the guests around them were basically flushed with alcohol, and the two of them, who had only drunk a few cans of beer, understood that it was time to take this opportunity to have a so-called conversation that touched the depths of the soul.
However, the subject of this conversation seems to be constantly deviating from the business between the two.
"Your company is right to press not to go public. Yu Dong lit the table and talked. "Because you are not short of money! But I am different, doing business is to make money, and listing is the ultimate goal! But it is really difficult to make money these days, just say that in order to go to the NASDAQ listing, I almost didn't keep the company's personnel rights, that group of **** foreign capital, when I invested money before, I said it was good, and when I turned my head and saw that the opportunity came, I wanted to take the opportunity of company integration to swallow me! These days, I am really anxious. Even to complete the share swap with you, to be honest, in addition to the future development of the company, a big reason is that I hope you can come over and help me deter those bullshit venture capitalists!"
"I see. Jin Zhongming nodded repeatedly. "It's really not easy to go public. However, the bigger problem is how difficult it is, when the action of listing begins, you can't stop at all, not to mention that the veterans of those start-up companies are watching you wait for the money......"
"Who said it wasn't?!" Yu Dong was really emotional for a while. "That's what I want to say! In front of money, there is no emotion, and everyone wants to get involved with you, Xiaojin, do you know? I have really seen all kinds of things in the world these days...... In short, it's hard to put into words!"
"Since it's hard to put into words. Jin Zhongming laughed softly. "Then take your time. But, I think, why don't we start with the fact that the grape trellis in your house has fallen?"
These words came too suddenly, and Yu Dong, who was still holding a beer glass just now, instantly froze there.
"Old Yu. Jin Zhongming sighed. "I don't mean anything else, I just hope you can understand that the listing is imminent, if you really have a fire in your backyard, it is worth the erosion of ten Sequoia Capital! Even we have to reconsider the purpose of this trip. ā
"I understand. Yu Dong put it down, and paused for a long time before reopening his mouth. "I understand that the stakes are high. And I know you're kindly reminding you that it's better to say it here than at the negotiating table tomorrow...... You've saved me face. ā
"Then I'll have to take the liberty of asking again. Kim picked up his chopsticks again. "Is it really to the point of getting divorced? And if that's the case, then you've got to give me a word, right?"
Immediately a long silence fell at the dinner table.
Jin Zhongming was eating quietly, and by the way, he gave Chu Long a bowl of bone broth, but the two people opposite had no intention of doing it at all. The driver was obviously also aware, but at this moment he had to immediately get up and hide to the side, obviously to avoid this topic; as for Yu Dong, he had obviously pretended to be a gentleman all night, but at this moment his true nature was revealed, ignoring Chu Long, who lowered his head and drank soup, he directly took out a cigarette, and then lit one for himself.
After smoking a cigarette, he lit another cigarette, and Yu Fatzi officially opened his mouth: "I promise you two." First, we won't get divorced, at least not before going public! Second, I'll do everything I can to get a divorce deal!"
"That's perfect!" Kim raised his glass. "Again, from my point of view, it's not okay to say it, don't think I'm unkind. ā
"What's the matter with you?" Yu Fatzi raised his glass and touched Jin Zhongming. "I still say the same thing, in front of money, don't talk about any feelings, the world is all kinds of things, and the same is true for the people next to the pillow, you can talk to me about this on this occasion first, I have already accepted your morality. ā
After that, regardless of the weather in November, Yu Fat laughed at himself and drank a large glass of beer, Jin Zhongming knew that the matter had been done, so he also followed him to the end.
And after drinking this glass of wine, I don't know if I was a little drunk or I wanted to vent my pressure when I was relaxed, plus he himself knew that Chu Long couldn't understand Chinese, so Yu Fatzi began to pour bitter water:
"Of course, I am the one who did the evil in this matter...... I admit it! As a man, I don't control myself!"
"Especially the kids! Two kids! I'm most sorry. ā
"And there's a kid on the other side!"
"But you know what? Even though everyone around me says I'm trash, I admit I'm trash in front of all my elders...... But I don't feel anything particularly remorseful...... Because we are a political marriage. ā
"Her father was the person in charge of Nanying (Nanjing Film), and I was still the section chief of China Film at that time, and I met her in her father's office when I went to Nanjing...... I...... There is nothing to say, but we really have no feelings!"
"I admit the infamy, I bear the consequences, and I am willing to pay the price, but in the face of this matter, my heart has no fluctuations, and I even want to laugh...... Because you know what? She doesn't have feelings for me, and we're dead in name only. And this time, she didn't make trouble early or late, but she chose to make trouble when the company was about to go public...... Does she still have any good intentions?"
"It's like when I was running the 90s...... At that time, I was young in seniority, as long as I went out, I was forced to drink every day, and I had to force myself to run errands after drinking, and sometimes I needed to drive...... So I was driving and I thought, what if I hit someone?"
"What should I do?" Jin Zhongming asked with a smile.
"I will definitely be beaten and scolded, and then admit compensation and go to jail. Yu Fatzi replied seriously. "But you want me to feel guilty...... That's basically impossible, because the people who really blame me are the people who forced me to drink! So...... I won't be with you, I ran out and did it myself!"
"For this reason, it should be a big deal. Jin Zhongming smiled and filled the other party with a glass. "Not everyone has the courage to leave the system. However, I won't hide it from you, the reason why I chose to cooperate with you Bona is not really because of the money, if it was really for business, I would have chosen Huayi Brothers a long time ago. I see you Bona in fact, because you were the section chief Yu was Han Sanye's right-hand man in China Film back then, and your official connections and the inheritance of Xiangjiang Films in the past few years are far better than that amount of money in my eyes......"
"Honest enough!" Yu Fat nodded repeatedly. "But...... When you are a big white, you speak like Jiang Wen...... The previous contact was very short, but today's experience has given me a deep understanding of you...... As a Korean, he is still particular about being able to do this. Let's have this ...... Happy working together?"
"Happy cooperation!" Kim Jong-ming is ready to accompany him to the end again.
"I forgot to ask you something. Yu Fatzi suddenly pressed the cup. "How did you know that my wife was going to divorce? She was very restrained and didn't make a fuss about the media?"
"Guess. Jin Zhongming also put down the cup, and then pointed to Chu Long with a blank face. "My secretary found a scandal that you made before, and then I guessed it......"
"Your secretary?" the fat man suddenly laughed playfully. "You're sure. ā
"I'm not so sure. Kim Jong Ming also smiled. "Or ...... Child bride?"
"It's good to raise a child daughter-in-law!" Yu Fatzi immediately turned from banter to admiration. "You Koreans really know how to play!
"Don't dare to be. Kim Jong Ming smiled. "After listening to your story, I feel more and more that child brides are a very advanced social system. ā
After that, the two finally drank the glass of wine, and Chu Long never knew what the two were talking about.
That night, Yu Fatman, who was anxious about the company's listing and his wife's divorce, was drunk, and when he saw this scene, Jin Zhongming asked the driver to take his boss back, and he himself was going to take a stroll, and then take a taxi back. In this regard, the old driver, who had long been convinced of him, didn't say a word, nodded and left.
But after the other party left, Jin Zhongming took Chu Long to the Beiying Gate, and then went all the way south along Xitucheng Road.
He wants to blow the wind now, so he is not in a hurry to take a taxi.
"Oppa, what the hell were you talking about just now?" Chu Long looked depressed. "I was in a daze all night. ā
"It's better than staying in the hotel and playing chess, right?" Jin Zhongming sneered, and then told the other party about the various things of the night.
However, when he heard the topic of the other party's wife's divorce, Chu Long was suddenly a little puzzled: "Oppa, say this...... Is it for the sake of connection? Why do you always feel that something is not right?"
"It's not. Jin Zhongming shook his head. "Including the temporary change of the place for supper before, until he said that his wife was divorced, we were actually negotiating. ā
"I don't understand ...... at all," Chu Long was at a loss again.
"If you don't understand, you don't understand. Jin Zhongming smiled and patted the back of the other party's head.
"I don't know how to speak...... It's just that I suddenly feel useless...... Obviously, I made so many preparations, but when it came to the real negotiation, I didn't even notice it, and I was still eating...... "Chu Long slowly pulled behind.
"So what?" Jin Zhongming asked puzzled, walking ahead.
"But I'm the secretary!" Chu Long ran a few steps forward to catch up with the other party, and tried to defend himself by the way.
"No!" Jin Zhongming suddenly stopped, which made Chu Long almost hit him.
"What?" Chu Long was taken aback.
"I changed my mind. Jin Zhongming suddenly reached out and pinched the other party's face. "It's good that you're a qualified secretary, but I'd like you to be my child daughter-in-law. ā
To be honest, Chu Long was taken aback, and she didn't react for a while. However, what made her even more unresponsive was still behind - Jin Zhongming suddenly lowered his head, and then slowly, seriously, and gently, kissed her on the right cheek.
The process was very slow, but Chu Long didn't move the whole time, in fact, when the other party lowered his head, the warm breath with a slight smell of alcohol made Chu Long stay on the spot completely, until the other party kissed him.
"I'm sorry...... Chu Long. After raising his head, Jin Zhongming stared at the other party's eyes seriously. "I still can't resist coming back to you, for so long, thank you for keeping the door open for me. ā
"I ...... I've been waiting. Chu Long pursed his lips and whispered, the familiar milk voice seemed particularly soft today.
Although some people had expected this, they could not have imagined that even the two people, who had been reserved in Korea the day before, would open up to each other on the first night after arriving in the capital together.
In other words, these two people have been prepared and tacitly understood, so they don't need to be foreshadowed, or these two people don't need to be prepared and tacitly understood, and have actually been laying the groundwork for a long, long time.
