Chapter 361: A Family
The night was a little deeper, and the Xuzhou brother who drove the Toyota Sequoia had not left, so he smiled and asked me: "Dude, are you asking me these things, do you plan to meet the needs of us outsiders and open a hotel?" ”
"Yes...... However, I don't have much experience in opening a hotel. ”
The Xuzhou brothers nodded and replied: "If you have no experience, it is quite difficult to do this industry, because the market is relatively saturated, and there are various types of hotels, so the competition is very fierce." However, this is not all bad, it is precisely because of the lack of relevant experience that you can break away from the rules and regulations of those industries and make a different hotel...... By the way, we have a buddy in Xuzhou who did a project called What Literary Road a few years ago, and some relatively large tourist cities have inns, bars and coffee shops that he opened...... The response is really good, even people like me, who usually only know how to play mahjong and do great health care, will go to his inn to stay for one night when I go to those cities, and then go to his bar to drink some and pretend to be a literary and artistic youth...... Hehe! ”
I said I did.
The Xuzhou brothers opened the conversation, he lit a cigarette and said: "I think his project can become a phenomenal project because it has created a successful core for it from the beginning...... However, the accumulation of various resources is also important, and if it weren't for the help of his friends, it would have been impossible for the project to rise so quickly...... Do business, I think it is important to pay attention to the right time and place, and it just so happens that he has taken advantage of it! ”
I first nodded, only half of my approval of his words, and then replied with a serious expression: "I don't think he is in business, he is giving back to this society with sincerity, at least in the early days...... As for whether it can be sustained and whether it will become a profitable tool, that is also a matter for the future, and it is really not a business now. ”
Brother Xuzhou looked at me a little disbelievingly, and said for a while: "Do you really believe that there are people in this world who can make feelings into business?" …… No, I'm not talking about business, it's business? …… And it's not about returns. ”
I looked at him with certainty, then lit a cigarette and replied, "There really are people like that...... The world is so big, there is always a group of people who don't live purely for material things...... It's just that you don't have access to them. Otherwise, everyone is mercenary, and the world will become what it will become! ”
Brother Xuzhou lowered his head and took a puff of cigarette, he looked a little ashamed, and said after a long time: "The general environment of society is too easy for people to go with the flow, but no matter how much we are corrupted by some bad atmospheres, the innocence and purity in our hearts have always been there...... Otherwise, a man like me, who likes to spend time and drink, would not go out of his way to find his inn and bar every time to feel the atmosphere...... Perhaps, we all lack a little bit of guidance and a fulcrum for change......"
He said and stepped on the unfinished cigarette in his hand, and then teased again: "I hate you dead Wenqing the most, and after staying with you for a long time, people have become hypocritical...... I'm a cement seller...... What kind of humanity and feelings are you talking about...... You eat slowly, I'm rolling the calf! ”
I smiled and shook my head. He also really walked towards his car parked on the side of the road, but the moment he opened the door, he turned around, and then took out a business card from his wallet and flew it to me, saying, "Brother, if you really plan to open a hotel...... Remember to call me on the day it opened...... I can't help it, but I must bring those friends who often come to Shanghai to discuss business to get a membership card with you...... You can do whatever you want, even if it's to pay for the literary and artistic feelings you once had. ”
The rain didn't stop, but the brother who liked to do big health care was gone, so I picked up the business card from the ground and looked at it. It turned out that his name was Zhang Ping, a particularly ordinary and ordinary name. But behind this ordinary, he also has his own wealth and some good thoughts in his heart......
I have reason to fall in love with this world that is sure to get better...... Yes, it will definitely get better!
……
Leaving the roadside food stall, I returned to the apartment that Jin Qiu had temporarily lent me, and I stood at the window with an umbrella and asked the sleepy security guard, "Master, did you receive a courier named Jiangqiao today?" ”
The security guard yawned and replied, "Come in and see for yourself, all the couriers you received today are under the cabinet." ”
I walked into the security room, and then searched for it in a pile of couriers, and then found a courier addressed to Jiang Qiao, but to my surprise, the box was really big, and I just asked Jin Qiu to send a key card. I even had a little suspicion that it wasn't sent from Jinqiu, but it was indeed sent from Nanjing.
I took the parcel with doubts, and then opened it at the door of the elevator, and there was indeed a key card inside, as well as two boxes of other things, and a note for a message from the golden autumn.
She said to me: "I bought you a bag of skim milk powder, and fruit cereal, you can put the dried fruit in milk and soak it, it's very nutritious, and you can drink a little bit at night to improve your sleep quality." ”
I opened it and saw that the milk powder and fruit cereals were imported from abroad, and I couldn't help but feel a little moved, because I hadn't been so worried about it for a long time.
I went upstairs with these things, I lay on the bed without washing, and I wanted to send a message to Jin Qiu to express my gratitude......
People are like this, when you have a lot of positive and optimistic emotions in your heart, you will see everything pleasing to the eye, so I feel that my attitude towards Jin Qiu was a little bad before, and I also said a lot of hurtful things to her...... Even if she wants to cling to Yang Jin, there may still be a little true affection between us. After all, she would never have had contact with Yang Jin when she was in college, and she was very good to me at that time, and from time to time she would use her scholarship to buy me a pair of shoes, some clothes, or something.
It's just that after she went to school abroad, maybe because she was too far away, she didn't give me anything more, and even literally cared a lot less.
After grabbing my phone and playing with it for a while, I finally sent a message to Jin Qiu: "I received something, thank you for sending fruit cereal and skim milk powder by the way." ”
Jin Qiu replied after a while: "You have to drink it in the morning and evening, you can't forget it because you're busy...... Also, the weather in Shanghai is humid, so remember to tie the mouth of the bag after drinking...... When I finished drinking, I asked my friend to send another box from abroad. ”
I looked at her message and smiled, and also sent her a message back: "I'm a little unsure that the person on the other side of me is Jin Qiu...... Because she never nags like that, especially when it comes to caring! ”
"You are delusional, the person who sent you a message is Jin Qiu."
I tilted my head up and slowly exhaled the smoke from my mouth, then lost my mind as the smoke gradually dispersed in the light. Just as I was about to reply to her message, she sent another message: "Jiang Qiao, you are alone in Shanghai, be kind to yourself in everything, and take care of yourself...... Don't let us worry...... Maybe you don't believe it, in the eyes of my parents and me, we have always regarded you as family...... When you're tired, go home...... If you're not tired, it's okay to spend more time in Shanghai. ”
I tilted my head and watched as the rain fell like a line down the window on the windowsill...... I was a little sentimental, but I didn't want to cry because God had been crying for me for almost 20 hours!
I sent a message back to Jin Qiu: "I'm okay with a man outside...... But if you pay attention to the combination of work and rest, no man will work like you! ”
Jin Qiu didn't say much, she just replied with an "um", and I didn't message her again. I just felt a little softer about the night after I calmed myself down...... So, I fell asleep a moment later, the earliest day I had slept in more than a month.
This night, I had a dream that the sunflowers and tulips on the tulip road were blooming one after another, and the old alleys were lit up, and everything was the same as it was at first. Even, I dreamed that Yu Ya, who used to be in the "Mood Coffee Shop", is now Su Han, sitting at the bar, quietly mixing a cup of coffee called "Mood......
When these images overlapped in my dreams, I felt that although I woke up and faced the autumn when everything was dying, my spring never went far.
……
The next day, I got up at five o'clock in the morning, brewed the milk powder and fruit cereal sent by Jin Qiu, and after eating breakfast, I took the subway to Liu Liu's piano shop. I wanted to talk to him about his plans to convert an old factory into a hotel. If he also thinks it is reliable, we will go together to persuade Yao Yu, and then move this plan forward little by little.
It took me about an hour to arrive at Liu Liu's piano shop, which was his residence. Liu Liu slept on the sofa like a dead dog, surrounded by all kinds of beer cans.
I was about to break his window when he opened his eyes and looked at me, and then fell asleep again.
I climbed straight through his unprotected window and lifted him up from the couch, Liu Liu was so thin that I could lift him up with just one hand.
The sleepy Liu Liu tried to knock my hand off, and he said very dissatisfiedly: "Can you not make trouble?" …… I didn't go to bed until five o'clock! ”
"Can you live a little more normally...... What's the difference between you and a stinky salted fish? ”
Liu Liu smiled very lightly: "You know how to hang...... Yesterday I sold three guitars on WeChat, making a net profit of 2,000 yuan, you let those white-collar workers also make this money, can they? …… So, who is ****** stinky salted fish? ”
I threw Liu Liu back on the sofa, feeling a little speechless, so it seems that he is really hanging!
But he didn't want to, so he muttered in a daze: "But ****** spent 3,000 yuan at the bar last night...... God, God, who will save me, poor man? ”
I pointed at him and scolded, "Your grandson is a typical person who is poor and short-minded...... Wake up, I'll talk to you about something serious, don't be so drunk in the future! ”
"Go get me another beer."
"You're still drinking?"
"You can't wake up if you don't drink."
I went to the refrigerator and brought him a can of green beer, and then poured him a sip, Liu Liu really woke up, he was playing with his hair, while drinking beer in his hand, he asked me for a long time: "Why did you come to me so early in the morning?" …… I don't teach the piano for half a day in the morning, it's the old rule. ”
"It's not about learning guitar...... It's about the entrepreneurship mentioned yesterday, and I figured out a little bit of a way when I got home, so I rushed over to discuss with you to see if it was feasible! ”
Liu Liu finally put down the beer can in his hand, then lit a cigarette and looked at me......
In his suddenly serious expression, I could feel that this person was not a stinky salted fish, he had a desire in his heart, and most of them were not satisfied with his current life.
I then told him about his idea of converting the factory into a hotel, and he lit another cigarette, seemingly weighing the feasibility. After a while, he said to me: "Yao Yao's factory is also idle, if you can use it to do something, of course, it is the best...... But I want to ask you this stinky sling...... What about money? Where did you get the money to do such a big business? …… Don't tell me, you're a rich second generation, and you're here to experience life...... Otherwise, you're crazy! ”
