Chapter 252: Life is full of surprises
Jin Qiu had already entered the textile factory, and I glanced at the two open doors again, and then followed her in, but I didn't look to the left and right like she did, because I was already very familiar with this place, and I didn't care about the structure of the place, but about certain objects that left me with a lot of memories, such as the old liberation truck, and I didn't know what fate it would face in this radical transformation.
Jin Qiu asked me casually: "This textile factory, the area given to me by the other party is 23 acres of land, I think it may be more than that, what do you think?" ”
"That's an accurate number, because there aren't any buildings in there right now, so you feel empty."
Jin Qiu nodded, and after bypassing the previous workshops, he asked me again: "If it were you, how would you make full use of this 23 acres of land to build a wedding-themed hotel?" ”
"Don't you think this place is too big? Now the standard of five-star hotels is only 10,000 square meters, if you really take this land, that is the scale of investment in five-star hotels, I think the risk of investing in such a hotel in this place is too great! And the amount of investment is not what you can afford at this stage. ”
Jin Qiu looked at me and asked, "Are you persuading me to discourage the idea of investing?" ”
"I just don't know where you got the confidence to do this, I don't believe it, you chose the location of the hotel here, Qin Miao still dares to play with you this time."
Jin Qiu glanced at me and replied, "When I sued you yesterday morning, you didn't put forward so many reasons for opposition...... Why, now that I really have the power to open this door, are you scared? ”
After a deep groan, I looked at her and said, "It's not that I invested, what do I have to be afraid of...... I'm just a little unbearable! ”
"Then you can put a hundred and twenty hearts, and I won't spoil this place...... In addition, if this project is launched, Qin Miao will really not participate in this investment, but if you limit my upper-level network to Qin Miao, then you really underestimate me. ”
I just looked at her and didn't have words......
Jin Qiu said: "I built this hotel for high-end consumer groups in Nanjing and even surrounding cities, so the standard of the hotel must of course be based on five-star." If I give up such a good place and insist on investing in a big business district, it is really a lack of strategic vision, after all, the cost of investment will increase several times because of the high land price over there, and because it is a theme hotel, we need a lot of space to express the theme, which leads to the impossibility of using a house that has been designed by others, so is there a better choice than this place? ”
Looking at Jin Qiu's confident appearance, I found that I didn't have any position to influence her anymore. In fact, I also know that she urgently needs to have such a wedding-themed hotel in Nanjing, which others can't replicate lightly to establish its leading position in the industry. I understand her strategic intentions better, and she wants to expand the guò industry to completely incorporate profitable wedding-related projects into her business empire, which is not only her ambition, but also a reflection of her ability.
I had a little indescribable feeling in my heart, so I sat next to the truck and lit the first cigarette of the day, and after Jin Qiu turned around again, she came back to me, I thought she was going to urge me to leave, but I didn't want her to just stare at the scrapped truck for a while, and then asked me, "This is the truck that Uncle Jiang drove back then, right?" ”
"Hmm."
"In my memory, after 97 years, it was difficult to see a truck like this again...... I think this can be preserved as a feature, and if a small fountain square is built next to it, it will really have a very period texture and become a selling point of the hotel...... After all, everyone is quite superstitious that love in the 10s was very simple and beautiful, which is in line with people's general yearning for love. ”
"In any era, there will be bastards in feelings and marriages, what is there to be superstitious."
Jin Qiu may have heard the emotion in my words, so she did not continue the topic, she raised her hand and looked at her watch, and motioned for me to leave here, but this seemingly ordinary morning has left a heavy meaning in my life, leading me to another kind of life galloping quickly.
……
This morning, I did some things, and I got the contact list of teachers from a nearby school by the way, which means that after Xin helped us find another excellent music training teacher, I can basically take these resources to talk about cooperation with other training institutions.
In the afternoon, I happened to meet Feng Yuan who was having afternoon tea at the "Wutong Hotel", and after learning that I was going to pick up Xiao Ai, she politely lent me her car, and said that after school, I hope to talk to Xiao Ai about Xiaofang in this "Wutong Hotel", and then give us some surprises.
When I arrived at the airport, Xiao Ai had already gotten off the plane, but I didn't see Yuan Zhen accompanying me.
She told me: Yuan Zhen has taken the airport bus directly to Yangzhou to find Ji Xiaowei, and the two of them will go to Suzhou tomorrow to meet Robben and talk about Yuan Zhen's comeback through his concert.
Before that, I got reliable information from He Gaoming that the ban on Yuan Zhen had been lifted. And because Yuan Zhen has been mixed in the underground music circle, he didn't make any entertainment headlines, and the occurrence of a qiē was very quiet, which is why He Gaoming said that the ban on performances in the underground music circle would be better lifted, because there is no need to bear too much pressure from public opinion.
Park Feng Yuan's car on the side of the road, and I carried Xiao Ai's luggage to the "Wutong Hotel" with her.
As soon as he sat down, a gust of evening breeze blew just right, blowing the creeper on the wall as if there was a burst of green waves, which made Xiao Ai close his eyes and enjoy it comfortably...... This allowed me to appreciate the charm of Tulip Road again in her impeccable face and short flowing hair!
I asked the waiter for two bottles of beer, and Xiao Ai and I drank them while chatting, and she smiled and said to me: "After this incident, I really want to thank Qiu Zi'an...... If he hadn't cornered us, he wouldn't have allowed you to explode with such energy. In the past, Brother Xiao Wei worked so hard, but he couldn't lift the ban on Yuan Zhen, but he didn't want to be done by you...... Now it's okay, we can do piano with peace of mind! ”
I remembered the miserable appearance of being poured alcohol poisoning by Wang Bin a few days ago, looking at the beer in my hand, I suddenly felt a reflex like nausea, I burped, hurriedly put the beer down, but smiled and said to Xiao Ai: "It's just lucky, it just so happens that Qiao Ye has a friend who is mixed in this industry." ”
Xiao Ai shook his head and said to me seriously: "No, I think what you lack is just an offensive opponent, there is a flood of power in your body, and you need him to help you get rid of it!" ”
This time I really laughed from the bottom of my heart, not because there was any laugh in Xiao Ai's words, but because I really felt her relaxed and happy at this time...... I also know how difficult it is to come by now, so I am even more looking forward to Feng Yuan being able to bring us some good news, because the piano store urgently needs more students to get on the right track.
After Xiao Ai drank a bottle of beer, Feng Yuan took Xiao Fang to the "Wutong Hotel" on time, and she took the initiative to say to Xiao Ai: "Teacher Xiao, this should be the second time we have met, I am deeply honored!" ”
Xiao Ai looked at Feng Yuan in some surprise, as if he couldn't remember where the second meeting came from. I got up and said to Xiao Ai: "This is Teacher Feng Yuan, whom I mentioned to you several times, you once met at a cultural performance held by the government last year, when Teacher Feng Yuan and her students performed a choral program together. ”
Xiao Ai also got up with me, she looked at Feng Yuan, and suddenly said: "I remember, at that time, the repertoire that your students sang was "Capri Island", and the level was very good!" ”
Feng Yuan nodded and said with a smile: "Your finale appearance is amazing...... I really haven't seen anyone as perfect as you in Nanjing who can combine famous ethnic dance and singing, and I heard Jiang Qiao say that you are proficient in various musical instruments, and you are a real talented woman......"
Xiao Ai smiled politely, Feng Yuan glanced at her again, and said with doubts: "And your external conditions are much better than the so-called stars in the entertainment industry, why didn't you go to the entertainment industry to develop?" ”
Going to the entertainment industry has always been a taboo on Xiao Ai, I thought she would be unhappy, but I didn't want her to be very decent and replied with a smile: "Because I, like Teacher Feng Yuan, is a person who pursues art...... That circle is still reserved for those who need it more. ”
Feng Yuan nodded appreciatively, and then she pulled Xiao Fang in front of me and Xiao Ai, and then said to Xiao Ai: "This is a very talented child, I just taught her piecemeal, she doesn't even have a piano herself, but now she can master the monophonic technique and octave technique very proficiently, and the plasticity is really very strong...... I really can't spare the extra energy to teach her anymore, so I hope that Teacher Xiao Xiao can continue to teach her instead of me. ”
Xiao Ai looked at Xiao Fang, her face was full of surprise, but her reaction was quite normal, because when they met for the first time, no one would believe that this unattractive child would have such a good talent in music.
Feng Yuan said again: "I don't know if Jiang Qiao has sued you...... This child's family is very difficult, and her parents are migrant workers, so she can't afford to pay the tuition fees of your piano shop, so I can only implore you to take her in out of a humanitarian spirit. ”
Actually, I hadn't had time to tell Xiao Ai about this matter, so I looked at her a little curiously, waiting for what kind of reply she would give Feng Yuan.
Xiao Ai pulled Xiao Fang in front of him, looked at her hands, and said a few more professional terms, asking Xiao Fang to pose as a hand to play.
Although this child is autistic, he is very cooperative in music, and was immediately made a corresponding playing gesture according to the terminology spoken by Xiao Ai, Xiao Ai nodded, and said to Feng Yuan with a serious expression: "Since Teacher Feng Yuan can teach this child for so long for free, of course I am willing to make her my student...... I really think that this child's talent cannot be measured by money, and art is not expensive! I'll teach her well. ”
Feng Yuan looked at Xiao Ai with gratitude, and this gratitude was full of recognition and appreciation for Xiao Ai's like-mindedness, because Xiao Ai had achieved the ultimate understanding of art. Looking at this world, there are really few people like her who have such conditions, but can still resist the temptation and glitz of the entertainment industry.
I think Xiao Ai and Feng Yuan will become a pair of good friends because of music, and this is another charm of music!
……
Dusk had come, and the three of us took Xiaofang and started to have dinner.
During the meal, Feng Yuan thanked Xiao Ai and me again with tea instead of wine, and then said to us: "What I want to say next should be good news for you...... Today, we have a parent-teacher meeting in our school, and I took this opportunity to recommend your piano shop to them, considering that you only have two teachers now, although many parents are interested in sending their children to you to learn the piano, I only gave 10 places...... I hope you can take this opportunity to let the parents recognize you, and if you get the parents' approval, I can also be more confident to introduce the students to your piano shop to learn, but I am afraid that you will not be able to cope with it when the time comes...... This is no joke, and I hope you will be prepared to accept it in advance. ”
Xiao Ai and I glanced at each other, and we both saw a surprise in each other's eyes, we went through a lot of hard work to open the piano shop, isn't this the moment we are waiting for?
Feng Yuan reminded again: "Tomorrow at noon, when school is over, you will come to the gate of our school, and then I will bring those parents in need to your piano shop to register." ”
I hurriedly nodded, and then solemnly expressed my gratitude to Feng Yuan, who brought the first opportunity for the development of our piano store.
……
The sky was getting dark, and just as we were about to end this dinner, Jin Qiu and Qin Miao also came to the "Wutong Hotel", but they seemed to have already eaten dinner, so they only ordered something to drink, and their recent high frequency may also be due to the fact that this is a good place to talk about things.
After I said hello to them, I was ready to leave with Xiao Ai, and we said that we were going to see my grandmother in the nursing home tonight, and I really felt a little apprehensive in my heart, because I was not sure if my grandmother would mention it to Xiao Ai and hope that she would marry me. If you really take the liberty to mention it, I don't know how Xiao Ai will respond!
"Jiang Qiao, wait, I have something I want to talk to you about."
I turned my head and the person who called me was Jin Qiu, I looked at Xiao Ai, she was very understanding and gave me a space to talk with Jin Qiu, saying that she would go to the convenience store to buy some daily necessities first, and then walk in the direction of the convenience store alone.
Jin Qiu and I stood face to face under the plane tree, and I lit a cigarette and asked her, "What are you going to talk to me about?" Or is it a matter of transforming a textile mill into a hotel? ”
"Of course not, I'm going to talk to you about something that might help you...... Next week, Times Studios will open in the city, and the location is very good...... I have a friend who is the general manager of the studio, and he is going to sell the five-minute opening ad before the start of the movie to the outside world, and I happen to be more interested, so I spent 600,000 yuan to win the exclusive agency for two years, but the five-minute ad can probably cut out about 50 advertising positions, and I can't use so much now, so I plan to hand over two of the minutes to you to act as an agent, and the cost is 240,000 yuan for two years...... Are you interested? ”
I absolutely believe in Jinqiu's investment vision, and in my heart, if I take such advantageous media resources to cooperate with other training institutions, wouldn't it be more bargaining? Moreover, many parents now take their children to the theater to watch the film, and this kind of advertising can be said to be very targeted, as long as I can make reasonable use of this resource, I can maximize the benefits.
I immediately said to Jin Qiu without thinking, "Of course I'm interested...... But how did you become interested in these small investments? ”
"I won this advertising channel just for my own company, and by the way, I gave it to some friends, which is much more affordable than inviting guests to dinner...... However, you should not doubt the effectiveness of this advertising channel. You don't know how many advertising companies in the outside world want to win this resource, but as soon as I make a move, they will have no chance at all. ”
Looking at Jin Qiu's confident smile, I am more sure in my heart, plus I have been in the wedding industry for so many years, and I have dealt with the advertising industry a lot, so of course I know how scarce such resources are, and it is a must for many businesses.
However, I also have a little difficulty in my heart, because now I don't have so much money to pay for this part of the agency fee.
Jin Qiu seemed to see the concerns in my heart, she smiled again and said: "You owe this money first, anyway, I am not short of more than 200,000 yuan, and the most important thing is for you to make your career first." ”
I feel grateful to her in my heart, but I also have a little bit of indescribable feeling. Although she dismissed me from the wedding company as soon as she returned, the favor she gave me after that was also real.
At this time, Jin Qiu's mobile phone rang in her pocket, and before she answered the phone, she hurriedly said to me: "Okay, this matter is settled, tomorrow you and I will go to Times Cinema to sign an agency contract...... Don't feel that you owe me anything because of this, we should help each other, because our family is a world friend...... If your father hadn't saved my dad in the army back then, there would be no Jin Qiu in this world! What's more, I may need your help in the future!? ”
In the face of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, I don't want to be hypocritical. I accepted Jin Qiu's suggestion, and my mood was instantly relaxed, and I believe that with so many surprises, I will soon find confidence in life.
Perhaps, I can really develop a relationship with Xiao Ai in a more intimate direction. Because that's what my grandmother wants, and that's what I want
