Time flies.

In a blink of an eye, it was the end of the year, approaching New Year's Day.

It is about to come to the year 2007 of the Gregorian calendar, and there is still more than a year before the 2008 Beijing Investment Conference. It's been more than a year, and Lorraine has been reborn as a human for more than a year. In the past year or so, too many changes have taken place, so to speak, today's Lorraine can no longer deduce what will happen in the future, because because of his appearance, his change, the trajectory of time, there has been a subtle butterfly effect.

He had grown into a broad young master with great potential.

In a few months, Luoshui International, a subsidiary of Luoshi Group, has not had any deviation from the initial completion and trial operation to today's booming business, although there will be occasional decline in income in the middle, but it will soon recover under timely adjustment. The Rockwell Group now has a manager of the business development department like Qin Wanshu to check the gates, and many things can get twice the result with half the effort.

During this time, Kang Shaojie has also officially extended his industry to Laoshanjiao. In the industrial chain under the name of the old Qin family, many shares belong to Kang Shaojie. Originally, the old Qin family felt that they were at a loss, but in just a few months, Kang Shaojie opened up more leisure and entertainment markets in Laoshanjiao through his strong financial resources and connections, based on the industry in his own hands, and used the industry under the name of the old Qin family as a springboard to reach a consensus with other peers in the leisure and entertainment industry in Laoshanjiao step by step. And the old Qin family also got a lot of cheap in this process, and the unpleasant feeling at the beginning was gradually diluted by the benefits obtained.

From beginning to end, Kang Shaojie was not an acquisition, but a cooperation.

Just like the old Qin family.

At the end of the year, there was a very interesting situation in Laoshanjiao, that is, none of the leisure and entertainment industries here belonged to Kang Shaojie. However, every leisure and entertainment venue that can be on the table has at least 25% of Kang Shaojie's shares.

What a clever means!

True possession is not possession, but enjoyment.

Under Kang Shaojie's hands, there are more leisure and entertainment venues in Laoshanjiao all of a sudden, at least, he has enough right to speak, has enough containment, has enough influence, and when something happens in any place, he doesn't have to carry the black pot. Moreover, even if a commercial competitor annexed some of the industries in which he had a stake in Lao Shanjiao, he could not completely contain him in one fell swoop.

In just a few months, he easily developed this side of Laoshanjiao into a new solid stronghold for him Kang Shaojie, I have to say, this guy is a character.

For Kang Shaojie's beautiful business methods, Lorraine also deeply admired.

On the other hand, Lorraine got a news, the eldest young master of the Shen family, Shen Zheyu, has now officially stepped into the business world, in fact, that night he spent time, effort and connections to hold the Beijing college students' theme ball, just to announce to the outside world that he Shen Zheyu is not an official, but a businessman!

To Lorraine's surprise, Shen Zheyu also chose the leisure and entertainment industry, but there are still some differences from Luo's Group and Kang Shaojie. His direction is the Internet! On the Internet, he has built a super-large-scale shopping mall, and through their Shen family's connections, he has successfully partnered with many well-known big brands.

In a short period of time, his online mall named "Kyoto People" quickly entered a profitable state and had a high reputation in the capital. Of course, he is targeting high-end consumer groups. In fact, the nature is very similar to that Taobao Mall, but the difference is that Taobao Mall is a low-level consumer, and his Kyoto people are very high-grade.

This Shen Zheyu's eyes were locked on the Internet, and it can be seen that this guy is a very progressive character. Kang Shaojie, on the other hand, is the kind of standard hard-core businessman, who has any resources and foundation in his hands, and expands in whatever way, steadily and steadily, or unexpectedly. In short, in a way, both of them are talents, no wonder they can become friends. Of course, the reason why they were able to become friends was because both of them had good personalities.

And Lorraine, who is fortunate enough to be friends with both of them, naturally can't be too unhelpful, right?

Under the management of a series of unconventional ideas and plans in Lorraine, the scale of Luoshui International has grown more and more, and the leisure projects in it have gradually expanded, and the response is very good. During this period, Luo Jianrong was under the suggestion of Lorraine Lorraine, in the rear of Luoshui International, opened up a new entertainment world, from the café or cafeteria out of the walk, you can see a large swimming pool, the style here is a bit of imitation of the well-known European leisure and entertainment place [Caesars Palace], although the scale is not as good as others, but the feeling is there.

This place, mainly for high-end consumer groups in summer and autumn, is expected to be officially completed at the end of April and early May next year.

"Shaojie, you've been developing very well recently." In a small office break room arranged for her by her parents, Lorraine dialed Kang Shaojie's phone.

"Haha, each other." Kang Shaojie on the other side of the phone was full of spring breeze, "How about it, according to your style, the next step should be to take advantage of the period between New Year's Day and the Spring Festival to do some new tricks, right?" Or...... That idea of yours has been completely formed? ”

Lorraine smiled: "Almost, do you have time, come out for a meal." ”

"OK, where are we going to meet?"

"Where are you now?"

"Company."

"Okay, let's meet at the William Cafe on Garden Road in Kaiyuan District."

"No problem." Kang Shaojie pondered slightly, and then smiled mysteriously, "However, there is a friend here who is with me, and if I go over to meet you alone, I will snub him." ”

Lorraine raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and secretly said that there was some mystery in Kang Shaojie's words.

If it's just an ordinary friend, then Kang Shaojie will naturally deal with it himself, but if it's a "friend" worth playing, then ......

Lorraine was so smart that she suddenly smiled: "If that friend likes to smoke Chinese cigarettes, then I will book one more seat." ”

This was said beautifully, which made Kang Shaojie on the other side of the phone laugh: "Okay, that's it, huh...... See you in an hour. ”

"Smack."

Hanging up the phone, Kang Shaojie smiled at Shen Zheyu beside him: "Hehe, Lorraine is very smart, right?" I guessed it was you. ”

Shen Zheyu is wearing a casual outfit today, jeans, a white T-shirt, and a brown brand-name jacket on the outside.

The corners of his mouth floated slightly: "I'm getting more and more interested in him now...... You tell me that he once told you that he had a good idea, but it wasn't quite formed yet, right? ”

"Yes. I have a hunch that today's meeting is just to tell me this. Kang Shaojie smiled and put on the coat hanging on the hanger, "Moreover, he has no objection to you going with me, which shows that he does not treat you as an outsider." ”

"Hehe, that's because your Kang Dashao's face is here."

"You're wrong." Kang Shaojie shook his hand gently, "Lorraine, like me, is very casual in making friends on the surface, but in fact, she is very cautious in her heart. He's willing to share his idea with you, so it's natural that he's likely to consider you as a 'friend'. Shen Dashao, be mentally prepared, maybe, you will inexplicably get on our thief ship. ”

As he spoke, Kang Shaojie winked at Shen Zheyu.

Shen Zheyu laughed: "I can't ask for it!" ”

He came to look for Kang Shaojie today, just to cooperate with Kang Shaojie in some aspects, but Kang Shaojie told him: He is now cooperating with Lorraine. Hearing this, Shen Zheyu was even more pleased, in his eyes, Lorraine's potential was absolutely extraordinary.

…………

An hour later.

Kaiyuan District, Garden Road, William's Cafe.

Beautiful, tranquil surroundings, lazy jazz music, a secluded corner.

Lorraine, Kang Shaojie, Shen Zheyu.

The three big men sat facing each other, each smiling, and seemed to be very satisfied with today's "date" that was not at all long.

"Shen Dashao, let's meet again. Honoured. ”

"Luo Dashao, it's me who should say it's honored, haha." Shen Zheyu smiled, he looked very bold and cheerful today, and he didn't have the arrogance of the dance that night. Perhaps, this is what he is, right?

In my memory, when Lorraine and Shen Zheyu met by chance on the train, the other party was such a character.

"Okay, don't be polite to each other." Kang Shaojie waved his hand at this time and interjected, "Don't come and go." Lorraine, his name is Shen Zheyu, Shen Zheyu, his name is Lorraine. You all know each other's names, right? In the future, just call your name directly, don't make it so formal, it looks too foreign. ”

Lorraine and Shen Zheyu looked at each other and smiled.

Among the three people, Kang Shaojie is the oldest, Shen Zheyu is the second, and Luo Lin is the youngest.

"I'll call you Tetsuyu in the future."

"OK, I'll call you Lorraine from now on."

At this time, the waiter brought three coffees and some side dishes.

"Say, Lorraine, you asked me out today, didn't you...... Got some progress? As he spoke, Kang Shaojie pointed to his head and said with a smile.

Lorraine shrugged noncommittally: "Before I say this, I have something to say to Tetsuyu. ”

"Oh?" Shen Zheyu smiled when he heard this.

"First of all, congratulations on the success of the first step of the Kyoto people online mall that you run under your name." Lorraine said sincerely.

"Thank you."

"But...... However, I am not very optimistic about the future prospects of the people of Kyoto. Or rather...... You Kyoto people, you can do better. ”

"Ahem, cough, cough......" Kang Shaojie was drinking coffee, and he was almost choked by Lorraine's words. Kyoto people, the future prospects are not very promising? Can it be done better?? …… You must know that before coming here, he Kang Shaojie was full of praise for Shen Zheyu's development in this area, but he didn't expect to come to Lorraine, but he became a not very good existence.

Shen Zheyu's face turned pale when he heard this, and then he looked at Lorraine's serious expression, and then he also calmed down, not angry at all, and said very modestly: "Listen to me." ”
