Chapter 064: Private Club
As the name suggests, it is close to the capital, and it should have been called Linjing, and it became Linjing, which is also a municipality directly under the central government, but because of its close proximity to the capital, the light is always not dazzling enough, of course, not dazzling actually has the benefit of not dazzling.
At a high highway junction by the sea. Ding Yuping saw Lu Ming, and Ding Xiaoping was surprised. Lu Ming actually drove the horn, this Rolls-Royce Silver Angel is the first Rolls-Royce after being acquired by BMW, and it is also the last swan song of Rolls-Royce pure English style.
This makes Ding Yuping very strange, usually Lu Ming always reminds him to be low-key, especially for people like us who often have to deal with government officials, and it is good to dress and drive in a car that people think are ordinary. Therefore, usually Lu Ming only drives an Audi four, and as for Ding Yuping, it is just a forced to open the Olympics. Why drive an Audi? Because this car is low-key enough, besides, even the secretary of the municipal party committee is only sitting in the fourth of the Olympic force. Imagine that you go to the government to run an errand or invite a government official to dinner, you drive a Bentley or a Rolls-Royce, and people see that you are so rich that they have to give you a discount on the support and benefits they can give you.
Therefore, being a low-key person is the only rule that Ding Xiaoping and Lu Ming have adhered to for so many years. So Ding Xiaoping is strange, today Lu Ming opened this Na speaker, what does it mean? Seeing Ding Xiaoping coming, Lu Ming beckoned in front. motioned for Ding Yuping's driver to follow his car.
The car walked for a long time on a secluded road by the sea, and went around to the middle of the mountain, and a gate surrounded by lush vines appeared not far in front, and a handsome young man wearing a black tie and headphones walked to Lu Ming's elegant front, Lu Ming stretched out his hand from the back seat of the tamer five horns and handed him a card. The young man looked carefully, looked at Ding Xiaoping again, bowed to Lu Ming, and the door slowly opened. What appeared in front of Ding Yuping was a quiet path, Ding Xiaoping sat in the back seat, and he only felt that the car was turning around in the woods, but. At every intersection, there is a handsome guy in black to command.
Ding Yuping's driver sighed, "Chairman." I didn't expect Linjing to have such a quiet place. It's a paradise. ”
Ding Xiaoping asked, "Do you know what kind of place this is?" ”
Si Song shook his head and replied, "This should be the one we saw on the high highway, the villa area." However, I can't see anything below, and this one is a hole. ”
As he was talking, his eyes suddenly opened up, one. The platform appears in front of you.
Someone motioned for the driver to stop the car, and Ding Xiaoping got out of the car, looking at it, there was a blue sea in front of him. In his memory, there should be a high highway below. However, standing in front of the railing of the platform, you can only see the green trees under the hillside and the roofs of several villas hidden in between. I can't see anything else at all.
Lu Ming walked over and asked, "How is it?" Yoihei. What's the environment like? ”
Ding Xiaoping couldn't help but sigh, "This design is really ingenious, it's so beautiful." Pity. It's just the lack of a beach. ”
Lu Ming smiled: "Xuan Ping, don't you know, there is a small road in this place, which leads directly to the seaside. There is a beautiful private beach. There are no tourists
The more curious Ding Xiaoping became, he wanted to ask some more. A handsome guy greeted them and bowed to them. "Mr. Lu, Mr. Ding, please
Ding Yuping turned around, and now there was a three-story villa behind him, and the walls were also crawling with branches. He thought to himself: This is like an operational headquarters, so well hidden, no wonder you can't see this place under the mountain?
This three-story villa doesn't look big from the outside, but as soon as he walked in, Ding Xiaoping was surprised to find that the area of the hall here is definitely not smaller than the lobby of any five-star hotel in Linjing.
"Didn't expect that, did you? Yuhei? Lu Ming asked with a smile.
Ding Xiaoping looked around, and now there were more than a dozen people inside, either sitting on the sand or standing on the side, chatting softly.
The handsome man turned his head and said with a smile, "Mr. Ding is the first time to come to us, please allow me to introduce you, this is our public reception hall here, the whole villa is dug out of the mountain, and the windows outside are decorative." You see, the ceilings are all natural mountains. The villa is constructed with very little reinforced concrete, mainly with a slight decoration on the natural mountain. ”
Ding Yuping nodded and said, "Not bad, not bad." That's right. Are you here in a hotel?
The handsome guy smiled and said, "Mr. Ding." It's not a hotel, but it's better than a hotel. ”
Seeing that Ding Yuping seemed to be a little dazed, Lu Ming smiled and said, "To be exact, this is a private club, the top private club in Linjing." ”
Ding Xiaoping moved in his heart and asked in a low voice: "Is it a place for eating, drinking, prostitution, gambling, and taking drugs?" ”
Lu Ming suddenly smiled and shook his head: "Where do you want to go?" There are beauties here, of course, but. Absolutely not poisonous. As for small bets, it's okay to bet on pleasure. Big bets won't work. Why does this kind of club need to rely on these things to attract people?
"Oh?" Ding Guanping still confessed first: "I can tell you, if there is something illegal, I will turn around and leave." You know, I've always been innocent, don't drag me into the water
Lu Ming seemed to be looking for something, and replied a little casually, "Don't bite Lu Dongbin, you kid, I'll bring you here, that's for your good." ”
A tall woman wearing a black suit with the collar of her snow-white silk shirt turned over walked over, the handsome guy whispered something to her, she nodded, and said to Lu Ming, "Mr. Lu." First of all, please go upstairs and rest with your friends. ”
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to the side, only to see an antique elevator quietly parked there.
Out of the elevator, the woman led the way in front. Ding Xiaoping and Lu Ming followed. The woman's waist was slender, her buttocks were round, and the filaments floated on her shoulders, and Ding Xiaoping suddenly had a strange feeling: the machine that had not moved for a long time actually reflected.
Lu Ming glanced at Ding Xiaoping meaningfully, as if to say, brother, you are too self-contained. Ding Xiaoping felt Lu Ming's gaze and coughed dryly with some embarrassment.
Got one. Private room, Ou ** The decoration of this private room is extremely simple, but the equipment is simply too avant-garde. I saw that the woman pressed and twisted slightly, and a delicate ancient rattan table suddenly rose from the ground as if by magic.
"Mr. Ding, what do you two drink?" The woman's smile was so comfortable.
"Lu'an melon slices." Although Lu Ming grew up in the capital, he was born in Anhui, and his father was still a regiment leader at that time, so he still likes Wanhui tea for so many years, which Ding Yuping knows.
The woman walked to the side on the wall, "Ann, Ding Xiaoping is here, and suddenly it lights up." It turned out that it was a touch master, and he pressed his heart a few times, turned around and bowed to the two, and said with a smile, "The two of you wait for a while, and the Lu'an melon slices will be delivered immediately." ”
After a while, Ding Yuping saw a small door next to the door where they came in, and a pure girl wearing an orchid silk gown and black silk pants floated in. The reason why Ding Xiaoping felt that the woman was floating was that the floor of this room was also a huge screen, and the color at this time seemed to make Ou ** feel like a grass house next to a mountain stream in Lu'an.
The woman's footsteps squatted down in front of the two. He said softly, "Mr. Lu, this is the best Lu'an melon slices, please allow me to serve you and your bookkeepers." ”
Ding Zhuping smelled a faint fragrance. He didn't know if it was the scent of tea or the woman's body scent. When they looked up, they saw that the woman who had led them in had already exited the room.
The woman in front of her said while boiling water. "Mr. Lu, do you want me to introduce your friends to the tea in your hometown?"
Lu Ming looked at Ou **, saw Ding Mangping staring at the woman's jade neck, and knew what he was thinking, so he said, "Okay, can you talk about it?" Actually, I don't know much about the tea culture in my hometown. ”
"Okay, Mr. Lu. Lu'an melon slices. It is a type of green tea. Harvested from endemic local species. After the wrench, remove the tender set and tea stems, through the unique traditional processing technology to make the shape of melon seeds, the shape of the tea leaves, so it is called melon slices. Xu Guangqi, a scientist in the Ming Dynasty, said in his book "The Complete Book of Agricultural Administration" that "the piece of tea in Lu'an Prefecture is the best tea." The woman's voice was soft.
"Well, by the way, I heard that Mr. Zhou, the former prime minister, liked this tea very much, right?" land
Ask.
"Yes, he also gave it to Kissinger. Mr. Lu, Mr. Ding, the main production area of this Lu'an Gua Pian is Jinliao County, the old revolutionary area, the county is located at the northern foot of Dabie Mountain, surrounded by high mountains, clouds and mist, mild climate, good ecological vegetation. It is a green drink that is truly born in nature. At the same time, "Lu'an melon slices." The picking is also different, and the tea farmers take the young shoots and leaves of the tea branches. Therefore, the leaves are mellow and nutritious, and it is the only piece of tea in China's green tea that has been destemmed and budded. Lu'an melon slices frying tools are the original raw pot, mango broom and chestnut charcoal, pull the fire to turn the baking, manual stir-frying, before and after the good times, the tea single piece does not have stem buds, the color is green, moist and frosty. It forms the unique qualities of the soup, such as clear green color, clear aroma and long aftertaste. Two of you to taste? With that, the woman brought the tea to Ding Yuping and Lu Ming.
Ding Yuping took a sip and felt that the fragrance was in his heart and spleen, and his whole body was comfortable. The woman continued, "There are four steps in the general tasting of Lu'an melon slices: tasting the tea: from the color, age and tenderness of the dry tea, to the shape. Observe the quality of the tea. Smell: Appreciate the fragrance of tea after brewing. Soup: Admire the process of tea leaves tumbling up and down and stretching during brewing. The dissolution of tea leaves and the posture of tea after brewing and calming. Taste: Appreciate the color and taste of the tea soup. Before drinking, use "high washing, low pouring, foaming, and drenching." and other traditional methods of brewing. When drinking, press the edge of the cup with the index finger and thumb of the right hand, and press the bottom of the cup with the middle finger, jokingly called "the three dragons protect the ding." Tea tasting work in frying, focusing on the soup flowers of tea soup. The color, aroma and taste of the tea soup are mainly based on color. ”
Ding Yuping glanced at Lu Ming and laughed, "It seems that the cup just now can't be counted." Come on, let's drink again. He and Lu Ming are also working hard step by step, and when it comes to tea tasting, they are indeed not very proficient.
Lu Ming also smiled and said, "The world's famous mountains." Spiritual grass must be produced. Jiangnan floor heating, so it is suitable for tea. To the north of the river, it is called Lu'an. Come, Qingping. Drink this cup together. ”
Putting down the cup, Ding Jiping asked Lu Ming, "Old Lu." How did you find this place? Not bad. ”
Lu Ming smiled a little proudly. Said: "Since you are also good, I will tell you that this is the top private club in Linjing." Only the most famous businessmen in Linjing can become members here. ”
"Oh? Is it the same as the member of the Mission Hills Golf Club I joined? Ding Yuping asked.
Lu Ming took a sip of tea and said slowly: "It's similar, but this club is more strict. Mission Hills Golf Club membership is transferable if you pay a fee. It's different here, and if you have money, you won't necessarily be allowed to join. ”
"Oh? So mysterious? Tell me about it? Ding Xiaoping suddenly became interested. People are like that. That's why curiosity kills cats.
"This is a private club with a shareholding system. Other words. Members can earn money by paying admission fees ranging from HK$10,000 to HK$10,000,000 to enjoy a variety of services. Of course, it is up to the club administrator and other members to decide whether or not they can become a member. Lu Ming motioned to the woman in the silk shirt to pour Ding Xiaoping full of tea.
"Oh?" Ding Yuping was a little confused.
"This kind of private club is also called a club for the rich. Applicants are required to provide a proof of assets to confirm their worth. In addition to the membership fees I mentioned earlier, you will also have to pay at least 100,000 Hong Kong dollars a year. The source of your assets must be legitimate, that is, if you make an application. The club's selection committee has investigated and now that your assets are of unknown origin, then sorry, you cannot join. Lu Ming looked at Ding Yuping, and there was a kind of happiness in his eyes that could not be concealed.
"Are you a member here?" Ding Xiaoping asked.
"Yes." Lu Ming nodded, his eyes seemed to reveal some kind of pride.
"Are there any other requirements besides the payment of membership dues and the annual meeting?" Ding Shuping asked.
"You will first be recommended by two members with more than one year of experience, and then you will wait until there is a vacancy, and then the selection committee will interview you in batches for four consecutive weeks. Among the members of the force. As long as there is one opposition, you have no chance. Members are considered status symbols. The reason for such strict rules is to limit the number of members and ensure the quality of membership. Lu Ming said with a smile. What kind of service will I have? Ding Xiaoping asked.
"You don't have to worry about booking a table at a restaurant, you don't have to have a party with Zhang Luo, or you suddenly have to drink tea that is only available in your hometown. Someone immediately brought it to the front. The club will try to meet any request from a member, for example, if you want to have a party on an unknown island; Weddings on luxury yachts; You can also host a unique champagne reception, a private dinner, or even play until dawn. The club's strict confidentiality of members' information and the security system, guaranteed by retired officers of the special forces, constitute another attraction. Lu Ming replied.
"It's over, it looks like I don't have a chance. I only know one member, isn't this just no fun? Ding Xiaoping suddenly felt a little frustrated.
"Hehe, you have a play, I'll tell you the truth, I brought you here tonight, just to introduce you to another member." Lu Ming looked a little proud.
"Who? Do I know each other? Is he coming? Ding Yuping was a little impatient.
Lu Ming is still strictly confidential like Yu Zecheng, and Ding Xiaoping hates Ji Xin... The eyes are different, and he is on the tiger chair and poured spicy water. But suddenly I remembered something: "But even if I know this member." There are only two of them
"It doesn't matter. As long as she agrees to push. The committee will definitely give face. Lu Ming showed a smile that was in his hands.
"So powerful? Who exactly is it? "Ding Yuping has a hunch that tonight must be very exciting
Forget.
"The point is not who she is, but what she represents", well, you'll find out in a moment. Lu Ming finally retracted the remaining half of the words.
"How did you find out about this club in the first place?" Since the enemy would not be able to move to death, Ding Yuping decided to use soft tricks, striving to advance in a roundabout way and save the country by the line.
"I was also introduced by someone else, two of my clients in Hong Kong, who are members of the club's headquarters. However, my purpose in joining the club was simple: to find business partners. Lu Ming looked at Ding Chipping. A look of sincerity.
"Yes, I can understand that everyone has their own circle, and the people in the circle are similar to their own interests, backgrounds, and experiences. We businessmen are no exception, in a sense. For the sake of business, we need to meet people from the same class as ourselves. Ding Yuping sighed.
Lu Ming looked at Ding Chuanping and said slowly. "It stands to reason that I should have introduced you here sooner, but you know that one of the basic requirements of this club for members is to have good character, credibility and financial status. I can't fake no, no, I've been a member of the network for a year. With the qualifications, I would like to introduce you to the system. ”
"Well, it means that you still have a little conscience. If I were to tell me later, you were playing tricks in front of me. See how I clean you up. Ding Xiaoping took a sip of tea and felt fragrant. He couldn't help but glance at the woman in the silk shirt more, he noticed that there was a bronze plaque on the woman's chest, and he wanted to see what was written on it, but he felt that staring at the breasts of a young girl was a little frivolous, so he gave up.
"How so? You are my best friend. How could I forget you. I don't recommend you to push anyone? Remember Tao Weiguo, right? Lu Ming asked.
"Of course, it's the guy who is known as the boss of Linjing architecture. His company did the engineering for me. Ding Xiaoping replied.
"I'll tell you, a few months ago, he applied for membership and was rejected by the ticket."
"No, why? He's also worth more than a billion, isn't he? Ding Xiaoping was a little puzzled.
"That's right. Hehe, he's actually met a few members of the selection committee, but. When he met the third batch, he was in the restaurant in a rough voice, and he kept smoking to leave a very bad impression on the selection committee, but what directly led to his exit was that he was untidy that day, and the club attendant warned him, but he quarreled loudly with the waiter. Lu Ming's smile didn't know what it was
Think.
"Did you warn me?" Ding Xiaoping was a little vigilant, because he also had some problems with Tao Weiguo to a greater or lesser extent.
"What do you say?" Lu Ming was noncommittal, but the meaning in his words was clearly yes.
"It seems. To join this club; It's much more difficult than when I joined the party. Ding Xiaoping said thoughtfully.
"Poor Ping, you really have to be more strict with yourself. You should know that some candidate members just go upstairs to eat in a yukata because they are talking loudly in the banquet hall or after swimming online. The child is crying loudly in the café and so on, so don't you want me to lose face? Lu Ming instructed.
Ding Huoping was about to say something, when suddenly, the door of the private room flashed a few times, and a burst of pleasant music sounded.
Lu Ming hurriedly stood up and said to Ding Yuping; "The person I asked is here, pay attention to the words."
There were two people standing at the door, a man and a woman.
The woman's thin skin and tender flesh, her face is clear and beautiful, although she is not very beautiful, but she is wearing a very well-fitting skirt, and her thighs are bright and plump.
The man is wearing a white casual suit and black pants, and his figure is tall.
Lu Ming introduced to Ding Zhiping, "Yuping, this lady is with you, have you heard of it in the summer night?" ”
Of course, Ding Huoping had heard that Xia Ye was the wife of Zheng Mingde, secretary of the Linjing Binhai District Party Committee, and the chairman of the Binhai District Trust and Investment Company.
He hurriedly stepped forward humbly, held the hand stretched out by Xia Ye, and said that he would be lucky.
The hands of the summer night are soft and cool.
Xia Ye smiled, "Chairman Ding." Pull. You are famous in Linjing. It's like thunder. ”
Ding Xiaoping smelled a luxurious perfume, which seemed to be Chanel. In fact, he has always wanted to hug a woman with a graceful scent. Because that can excite his **. However, his wife was not such a woman. Now, he suddenly smelled this smell, and the things that had been suppressed in his heart for a long time began to move. But soon, he was shocked. The wife of the secretary of the Binhai District Party Committee, it is better to be honest.
The man next to him, Lu Ming, didn't seem to know either, and he was a little hesitant. Seeing this, Xia Ye smiled. "Let me introduce you, this is my college classmate Mei Tianyue, that is, the owner of this club."
"Oh, it turned out to be Mr. Jiang, I've been here for more than a year, and it's the first time I've seen you." Lu Ming held Jiang Tianyue's hand tightly.
"This is Chairman Ding, right?" Jiang Tianyue took the initiative to stretch out his hand, and his smile was definitely measured. Ding Xiaoping's hand touched Jiang Tianyue's hand, soft but with a special strength, Ding Yuping couldn't tell what it was.
"Oh, Mr. Jiang, I'm glad to be." Ding Yin smiled peacefully.
"Everybody sit." Lu Ming beckoned.
The four of them sat down, and Ding Xiaoping suddenly appeared. The scenery in the room has changed, and it is a vastness and expanse similar to the grasslands of Inner Mongolia.
"Drink a little first, and then go down and eat." Lu Ming said.
"Don't be in a hurry to eat." Jiang Tianyue smiled slightly: "Today, a member will bring an important guest to us. Or wait and ask the guest before deciding" Jiang Tianyue said, naturally he could feel that Ding Xiaoping and Lu Ming's faces had changed slightly, but he was not in a hurry, but Xia Ye next to him took over the conversation and said softly: "This member, Mr. Ding and Mr. Lu, should also know each other, Su Dong of Beijing Tianxin Pharmaceutical Group." ”
Ding Huoping and Lu Ming were shocked, and the displeasure on their faces suddenly disappeared. But Jiang Tianyue also took a dose of fierce medicine: "As for the guest brought by Su Dong, it can be said that the identity is a hundred times heavier." ”
Ding Huoping and Lu Ming suddenly felt a little numb. Su Dong of Tianxin Group is scary enough. There is still someone whose identity is a hundred times heavier than Su Dong?
