Chapter 970: There are many cattle in Forty-Nine City
Luo Xiaolou's car is an imported black Mercedes-Benz GLS, which is very atmospheric!
In fact, Luo Xiaolou is neither tall nor strong, he looks like a delicate literary young man, and his choice of such a large SUV is really a little incongruous. [Full text reading.]
After getting into the car, Chen Qingdong also teased: "Xiaolou, why did you get such a big car!"
Luo Xiaolou started the car and said as he drove out: "A North Drifter like me, and dealing with people in the entertainment industry all day long, if you don't have a good car, it's really despised." In fact, with my identity, the most suitable should be to get a Mercedes-Benz S-class, and then find a driver, I get in the car every day and sit in the back, which is like a boss. However, I don't like to find a driver, I like the fun of driving, so if I buy a Mercedes and drive it myself, I will definitely make people laugh at me for being a hillbilly, so I got this SUV. β
Chen Qingdong said with a smile: "It's fashionable to get an SUV to drive by yourself?"
Luo Xiaolou said: "Of course! Mercedes-Benz cars are not used to drive, but to enjoy the comfortable atmosphere of riding, and Mercedes-Benz SUVs are different, which is completely used to enjoy the fun of driving." This is like in our hometown, some government officials, if they ride a motorcycle to commute to work, it seems a bit of a decline, but if they ride a bicycle or walk to and from work, it is just for exercise, it is a fashion. β
Chen Qingdong had actually seen this statement on the Internet, but he still shook his head and chuckled: "You rich people's tastes are really not something that ordinary people like me can't understand!"
Luo Xiaolou laughed and said: "Okay, you! Actually, I don't think these things are interesting, but since I have entered this circle, it is better to follow the customs of the locals, and the province will be laughed at, right, Qingdong, you must not think of what other origin of my car is!"
Chen Qingdong said curiously: "Could it be a smuggled black car?"
"Nonsense! This is a regular imported car, and there are all kinds of procedures!" Luo Xiaolou said, then raised his chin again, and said, "Qingdong, look at the pass behind the front windshield." β
Chen Qingdong took the pass and looked at it, it was black on a blue background, and he couldn't see anything on the surface, but the license plate number on it started with "North K2", although he didn't know what this license plate number meant, but since Luo Xiaolou specially asked him to take a look, obviously this license plate must be very good, so he asked: "What does this license plate number represent?"
Luo Xiaolou turned his head and smiled mysteriously at Chen Qingdong, and said, "Brother, this is the exclusive license plate number of the Beijing Garrison!"
Chen Qingdong originally thought that Luo Xiaolou had obtained the license plate number of a government unit, but he did not expect that this was actually a car from the military region, so he asked curiously: "The license plate of the Beijing Garrison? Xiaolou, is this your license plate number? I haven't carefully looked at what your license plate number is just now." β
Luo Xiaolou said a little proudly: "Yes! This is my license plate number!"
"How did you get a license plate number for the military region?"
"Hehe, to tell you the truth, in fact, this car is the Beijing Garrison!"
Chen Qingdong was almost choked, glared at Luo Xiaolou, and said, "Xiaolou, are you teasing me?"
Luo Xiaolou said: "It's normal for you not to believe it, in fact, this car was bought by me from a big courtyard disciple with a very good background in the military region, and it is actually not suitable to buy it, in fact, it should be said that it was rented, but I didn't spend less money and gave him 1 million! This car has not been transferred, and it still belongs to the Beijing Garrison, but the right to use it is mine." Got it, bro. β
Chen Qingdong understood what Luo Xiaolou meant, but he still asked curiously: "Xiaolou, then you spent such a high price to 'rent' this car, also to fill the faΓ§ade." β
Luo Xiaolou said frankly: "On the one hand, this is the meaning, in this Sijiu City, people who often mix in the circle know the meaning of various license plates. When I drive this car every day, those people will think that I have a background in the military region, and even if some people suspect that my car is reversed, they will also be afraid of this when they don't know my real details. Don't underestimate this, this city is too big, and there are many things to do, I have this layer of secret veil, I can avoid a lot of things unintentionally, just by virtue of this, I spend a million to get this car is worth it! Besides, this car is not in my name, in fact, it is also a good thing, anyway, this car is also driven by me, no different from mine, in case something happens to this car, as soon as someone checks the household registration, it will find the Beijing garrison, which can block a lot of bullets for me. In addition, I may have to change to a new car after driving for three or two years, and in this year, in this city of Beijing, what can one million be counted?"
After listening to Luo Xiaolou's words, Chen Qingdong exclaimed: "Originally, I thought that you spent a million to 'buy' this car, but after listening to your explanation, I think you are doing this business very shrewdly! Brother, you are right, this million is worth it!"
Luo Xiaolou laughed and said, "Xiaodong, I know that with your comprehension ability, you can definitely understand everything!"
Then, Luo Xiaolou turned his head to look at Chen Qingdong again, and said: "Xiaodong, in fact, there is something I have wanted to tell you for a long time, with your ability, why do you have to stay in the small county town of Liulin all the time! Although you are also the secretary of the town party committee now, Liulin County is also a figure, but if you look at it in Beijing City, a cadre at the department level is really nothing. Isn't there a saying that in Sijiu City, a billboard can smash two department-level cadres when it falls! Xiaodong, I didn't come to Beijing before, and I didn't have such a deep understanding, but now that I have been here for so long, I deeply feel that this place is definitely a place of ups and downs! Xiaodong, I sincerely hope that you can come to Beijing to develop! I believe that with your strength, your achievements in Beijing's development will definitely be much higher than your development in Liulin!
After saying this, Luo Xiaolou was worried that Chen Qingdong would misunderstand his meaning, so he went on to explain: "Xiaodong, don't think about it too much, I don't mean anything else, I just think that the good time in life is actually just a dozen years, if you don't seize the opportunity to do a good job now, you may have regrets in the future!"
Of course, Chen Qingdong did not misunderstand Luo Xiaolou's meaning, he knew that Luo Xiaolou said this completely sincerely cared about himself, and he did not mean to show off, but it was impossible for him to come to Beijing.
Because for him, if he comes to Beijing, he can only develop in the business world, but he has already made up his mind to work hard in his career all his life, although money is a good thing, but it is not what he values most.
Only power is where his ** lies!
Of course, Chen Qingdong didn't say this to Luo Xiaolou, but just said lightly: "Okay, I'll go back and consider your suggestion." β
After listening to Chen Qingdong's answer, Luo Xiaolou knew that his old friend was not interested in this matter, although Luo Xiaolou felt that with Chen Qingdong's intelligence, it was really a little unwise not to seize this turbulent era to develop in Beijing, but he also deeply understood the truth that people have their own aspirations, so he didn't say anything more.
In the evening, Luo Xiaolou took Chen Qingdong to Hongbinlou Restaurant, a time-honored restaurant in Beijing, for dinner, which is also Luo Xiaolou's personal favorite restaurant.
Before going to the airport to pick up Chen Qingdong, Luo Xiaolou had already booked a private room here, otherwise, it would be difficult to book a private room here to eat at this point.
Chen Qingdong has actually heard of the name of "Hongbin Building", it is said that this halal hotel has a history of more than 100 years, the original site in Tianjin, and later at the invitation of Premier Zhou, only to enter Beijing to open a store, and later enjoyed a good reputation in Beijing, received a number of domestic and foreign VIPs, known as "the first floor of halal catering in Beijing"!
Chen Qingdong followed Luo Xiaolou into a small private room in Hongbin Lou Restaurant, Luo Xiaolou ordered famous dishes such as chicken and shark fin, white broken fish, braised oxtail, single fish curd, halal roast duck, etc., and asked for a pot of tea to accompany the meal.
After ordering these dishes, Luo Xiaolou also explained: "Qingdong, we are not outsiders, so I won't be polite to you, let's come here today, just to eat food, so we won't drink." Once you drink the wine, the taste of the dish will be greatly reduced! After we finish eating, I'll take you to a fun place, how about we have a few more drinks?"
Chen Qingdong also had no interest in drinking, so he smiled and said, "Okay, let's taste this traditional food today, don't let alcohol spoil our taste buds." In addition, Xiaolou, this kind of halal restaurant should not be allowed to drink bars?"
Luo Xiaolou said with a smile: "There is this old tradition, but now that the times have developed, there are not so many rules." β
Chen Qingdong said "um", and said, "Xiaolou, you ordered such a table of dishes, and only the two of us ate them?"
Luo Xiaolou smiled evilly: "What? Otherwise, I'll call two girls to come over and have dinner with you?" This is no problem, I only need a phone call, and within half an hour, I can definitely call people!"
Chen Qingdong waved his hand and said, "Forget about the girl, I'd better have a good meal, save my heart and live up to such a good food." But, Xiaolou, how is Ma Li now? I haven't seen her for a long time, and I miss her a lot, are you okay?"
Hearing the name of "Ma Li", Luo Xiaolou's face darkened significantly, and said, "You said her, the two of us have broken up, and she should be in Lijiang now." Hehe, in the past two years, Lijiang has really been hyped up, and it seems to have become a paradise, and I don't know how many young people have been attracted to make a pilgrimage there. I've been there a few times, and the environment is really good, but it's too commercialized to be interesting. β
Chen Qingdong changed the topic when he saw Luo Xiaolou talking, obviously he didn't want to mention Ma Li, so he was embarrassed to say anything more.
But Chen Qingdong regretted very much in his heart, when Luo Xiaolou was still very depressed, Ma Li stayed by his side and lived in a cheap rental house, which made Chen Qingdong vividly remember.
Now, Luo Xiaolou has developed, but Ma Li has left him.
Chen Qingdong believes that Luo Xiaolou is definitely not a person who likes the new and hates the old, and he will definitely not abandon Ma Li because of other women. Ma Li should have felt that she had a spiritual distance from Luo Xiaolou, so she left by herself.
But no matter what the reason, Chen Qingdong felt very regretful.
