Chapter 142: The Fifth Elder of the Shen Family
The private club is not a new product, seriously chasing its origin, probably in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, in that ancient era of war, in order to expand their own strength, the princes of various countries in order to expand their strength, they made a generous move, spent a lot of money, recruited talents from all over the world, invited these people into their own homes to live, eat and drink to raise them, and did not require them to work, living in the princes' homes every day, singing and dancing, drinking and prostituting, these people have no ability is not clear, and their moral quality is very corrupt.
When the princes encountered tricky things, they counted on the talents they raised to stand up and help them solve their problems, of course, this kind of talent had a not very nice name at that time, called "diners".
What is suffocating is that almost all the talents of the Warring States period stood out from the diners, famous assassins, famous military artists, famous strategists, etc., and the mansion where the princes raised diners was probably the oldest private club.
Today's private club, naturally far higher than the category of feeding diners, you can say that it is a place to chat nonsense, you can also say that it is a platform to provide a variety of transactions, more appropriately, it is actually a link to maintain and develop the relationship of interests, whether true or false, in the private club, as long as you have a need, you can always find the right person to solve.
This is Ye Huan's definition of a private club.
Ye Huan didn't read much, and he was very proud of his IQ to be able to understand such a complex vocabulary in such a short time.
"Okay, why don't you just open a restaurant for chatting nonsense? It's so easy, I'll say yes! Ye Huan said very simply.
"Chat nonsense restaurant......" Liu Zicheng's face was a little ugly, and he wanted to say more deeply when he opened his mouth, but he remained silent after thinking about it.
Well, in fact, it is indeed a restaurant for chatting nonsense, some things don't have to be too complicated, it's good to be simple, no matter how the future club owner understands the term private club, as long as it is successful, the fruits of the harvest will naturally make this guy startled.
Liu Zicheng said with a smile: "Our brothers have partnered to do this?" ”
"Just do it." Ye Huan didn't care.
"Brother, how to calculate the shares?"
"Well, this matter has to be said in advance, it's true that I have money now, but I can't be wronged, you say a charter, I'll consider it."
Liu Zicheng thought for a while and said: "After my Jinyutang is sold, plus the money I have saved in the past few years, it is about 30 million, if this club wants to open a little higher-grade, it is estimated that it will be 200 million ......."
"A broken restaurant that chats and farts costs 200 million?" Ye Huan was startled, and his face turned white: "You losers are taking money and burning for fun, right?" ”
Liu Zicheng was depressed: "Don't scold me in, okay?" Where am I a loser? The gang of yamen in the capital haven't seen anything, if you don't spend some money on the club, who wants to come when it opens? Just find a small alley, rent a large courtyard, hang a few strings of small lanterns in it, make it look like a cheap shampoo room, the cost is saved, does anyone want to come? Reluctant children can't trap wolves, now that this society does business, the white wolf with empty gloves is basically extinct, everyone is not stupid, not so easy to fool. ”
Ye Huan touched his nose and thought that what Liu Zicheng said did make sense.
But the question is...... Ye Huan really doesn't have that much money.
When he was in Ninghai, Zhou Rong gave him a few gold cards, diamond cards and the like, including a Swiss bank credit card, the maximum overdraft limit is 100 million, and most of the other cards are millions, tens of millions of savings cards, the expansion plan of the welfare institute, Ye Huan did not let Zhou Rong pay money, and directly transferred 40 million from his card to the account of the Happy Fund, and now the balance in all the cards, plus the remaining overdraft limit in the credit card, adds up to a total of about 70 million.
Zhou Rong naturally couldn't imagine that this son who had just escaped poverty spent so much money, although he didn't spend it on himself, with Ye Huan's great ideal of buying fritters to eat one and throw them away, Zhou Rong might feel that so much money was enough to be satisfied, and he would definitely not think of giving Ye Huan money for a while.
And with Ye Huan's stubborn surname, he naturally won't open his mouth to Zhou Rong again, his mother's money is not blown by the wind, and other rich second generations are not weak when they spend their parents' money, but Ye Huan's face is panicked.
Now it costs 200 million to open this broken club, 30 million in Liu Zicheng's hand, plus Ye Huan's 70 million, and the two still have a funding gap of 100 million.
"Brother Liu, this matter of opening a club...... I'm afraid I can't do it, I'm short of money. After Ye Huan thought about it, he was embarrassed.
"Why?" Liu Zicheng was a little disappointed and said: "Aren't you the Shaodong of Tenglong Group?" If you are short of money, you can find Aunt Zhou......"
"Brother Liu speaks, Li is too ......" Ye Huan couldn't help but sing a sentence from Henan Bangzi.
Liu Zicheng: "............"
"Brother Liu, you're not a loser, and neither am I......"
A simple sentence expressed Ye Huan's embarrassment, and Liu Zicheng had no choice but to be silent.
A start-up idea has encountered tricky difficulties before it even starts.
The two were silent for a long time, and Ye Huan said in a deep voice: "There is still 100 million left, I'll think of a way." ”
Liu Zicheng obviously didn't believe in his ability, and squinted at him: "What can you do?" ”
"It's very simple, ask around the world to see if there is any second generation of officials who have been kicked out of the house by my father......"
Liu Zicheng: "............"
In the next few days, Ye Huan did not return to the old mansion of the Shen family, and found a five-star hotel in Beijing to live, the old mansion of the Shen family was too depressing and heavy for Ye Huan, and the disappointment of the elders was a trivial matter, living in such a house that seemed to be isolated from the world, it seemed that even hope was isolated from the house. It was filled with only old-fashioned dogmas and family rules, and after living in such an atmosphere for a long time, Ye Huan felt that he would have a short life.
So Ye Huansuo stayed in the hotel in the city, and set a presidential suite on the top floor, monkey, Zhang San and Nan Qiaomu, a total of four people lived in it, every morning, Zhou Mei dressed up beautifully, knocked on the door of the suite with a smile, and took the four people who had never entered Beijing to tour everywhere, the Forbidden City, the Great Wall, the Summer Palace, Xiangshan...... There are also all kinds of delicacies, roast duck, stewed duck, mutton shabu, fried noodles, etc., Ye Huan and the four of them had a good time.
Shen Duli also seemed to know that Ye Huan was not comfortable in the old mansion, and did not ask Ye Huan to come back, and let them play in the capital.
Everything seemed to be calm, and there seemed to be an eerie atmosphere brewing in the calm.
The old lady of the Shen family seems to have completely ignored Ye Huan, and has never mentioned him, every time he raises fish and flowers, he is happy, Ye Huan does not return to the old mansion, and the old man has never asked.
Shen Duli became more and more restless in his heart, he knew that this was a very bad signal, it meant that Ye Huan's identity as a child of the Shen family was very likely not to be recognized by the old man.
In fact, this obvious signal made the other brothers of the Shen family straighten their waists, and the third and fourth elders saw that the old man had such an attitude towards Ye Huan, and they also had a tacit understanding as if they had forgotten Ye Huan, and they never mentioned his name, let alone go back to the old mansion to see the legendary eldest nephew who was living among the people.
And so things came to an impasse.
Ye Huan had a heartless and heartless time.
He didn't care if the people of the Shen family recognized him or not, such an intriguing family, he rejected it from his heart, and it was best not to recognize him, so as not to get involved in those inexplicable battles.
........................, "But you can't always be stalemate like this......" Zhou Mei's eyebrows hid deep worry.
Adopted by Zhou Rong for many years, she has inevitably dealt with the Shen family a lot, she knows very well that the door in this mansion is the door, the Shen family can become the first wealthy family in China, naturally there is a reason, the people in the house are all high-powered, calculating old foxes, Shen Duli led Ye Huan into the Shen family, the consequence is to break this delicate and sensitive balance of interests, and it doesn't matter if there is suddenly an extra junior, the worst thing is that this junior happens to be Shen Duli's son, the grievances of the year, and the interests of today, The balance of the future, all kinds of factors are superimposed, and on the seemingly calm lake, a terrible storm is brewing, and Ye Huan is the center of this storm.
Ye Huan looked at the gray sky outside the window, and said with a faint smile: "I am a simple person, simple people don't like to think about things that are too complicated, so how to break this deadlock, such a complicated problem is still left to the elders of the Shen family." ”
Zhou Mei paused, then faintly had some understanding, and said tentatively: "You mean...... Will the Shen family break this deadlock first? ”
Ye Huan said with a smile: "If the name is not right, it is not good, this is a rule since ancient times, I have been in the capital for a few days, there must be an explanation, right?" The stalemate situation like this is only temporary, you are anxious, they are actually more anxious than you, the people who don't welcome me, now I don't know how many ways to let me roll up and get out, the people who welcome me are now racking their brains to make me the most important prince of the Shen family, in fact, they don't understand, I don't want anything from the Shen family, so I am more calm than them, and it must be them who break this deadlock. ”
Zhou Mei thought for a while, then glanced at Ye Huan delicately, and snorted: "I also said that I am a simple person, and my heart and eyes are no less than those old foxes of the Shen family, and I am duplicitous, which is also the reason why you have had a good time in the city these days?" ”
"Yes, I didn't wait for them to make a move, I gradually understood when I entered the Shen family, it turned out that the previous generation was divided into two camps, the boss, that is, my father, he and the fifth are in one camp, the third and fourth are in one camp, the old lady is an old referee who is so confused that he is fast into the coffin, and he doesn't care about the tricks of the players on the field, and the seemingly chaotic battles are like this, to put it bluntly......"
Zhou Mei smiled bitterly: "You are right, but in fact, the grievances of the four of them are much more complicated than you imagined, and it also involves your deceased second uncle......"
Ye Huan blinked and said with a smile: "Things in the world are like a mess of hair, no matter how complicated it is, it will be clear with a comb a few times, it will be clear at a glance, the complexity just belongs to the past, we don't have to care, we just look at the present, love is love, hate is hate, love me, win him over, hate me, destroy him!" It's as simple as that. ”
Zhou Mei stared at him in surprise, and after a while, she sighed leisurely: "I finally believe in genetics now, the Shen family is really the Shen family, if you say in time, Ye Huan, you will also be a calculating little fox......"
Ye Huan sighed and said, "I didn't want to be a little fox, I just want to live well, have a wife who loves me, give birth to a child who is not too stupid and don't have to be too smart, and live this life plainly......"
Zhou Mei looked at Ye Huan's calm face, her lips opened slightly, and she stopped talking.
"Ye Huan, you have received too much attention, these simple ideals of yours are difficult to achieve, like your current status, there are very few who only have one wife, arbor her...... Alas! ”
Ye Huan laughed a little stiffly: "Am I looking for a wife by myself?" ”
Zhou Mei smiled bitterly: "The bigger the family, the more you have to operate, if you are recognized by the Shen family, political marriage is indispensable......
Ye Huan sneered: "Political marriage? I want to see which elder of the Shen family dares to take care of my marriage, what kind of wife do they want to find me? ”
"What do you think they're looking for you?" Zhou Mei asked with a wide blink.
"When I got home, it was cold, the food on the stove was cold, and my wife's lower body was hot...... Can you have this kind of wife? ”
Zhou Mei's face flushed, she glared at Ye Huan hatefully, and spat angrily.
Ye Huan explained seriously: "What a man needs is a hot ...... at both ends."
Two days later, Ye Huan, who was having a lot of fun in the capital, received a call from Shen Duli.
Shen Duli asked Ye Huan to go back to the old house.
Escorted by the bodyguard convoy, Ye Huan came to the door of the old mansion again.
After getting out of the car, Ye Huan entered the door alone and walked to the inner hall of the old mansion with his hands in his hands.
He is tired of seeing the scenery of the Shen family, the unattainable illustrious family in the eyes of outsiders, in Ye Huan's eyes, is full of gorgeous pomp, this is a rockery, that is a pond, useless things occupy the eyeballs, with Ye Huan's aesthetic view of the small people in the market, the old mansion should be blown into ruins with a bunch of explosives, and then build a larger courtyard is enough, and then open a vegetable field in the back, build a pigsty, and live.
As soon as Ye Huan walked into the courtyard of the inner hall, he saw a thin figure squatting on the ground with his back to him, looking at a gladiolus in a daze, as if he was still holding something in his hand.
Ye Huan's eyes narrowed, this back ...... It's very similar to the third uncle who met once, what is he doing at the door of his father's study?
The meeting between Ye Huan and the third uncle was not pleasant, and of course, it was impossible for the two sides to have a good feeling.
So Ye Huan tiptoed forward and saw that the "third uncle" was still squatting motionless by the flower bed, as if he had settled down.
Ye Huan didn't be polite to him at the moment, he stretched out his foot and kicked his ass lightly or heavily.
Then ...... "Third Uncle" planted an upside-down onion and planted it in the flower bed, and Ye Huan also saw it clearly while he was holding something in his hand, it turned out to be a bowl of white fungus soup.
"Hey! What are you doing? Want to eavesdrop? Ye Huan snorted.
The "third uncle" got up from the ground and quickly turned around, and Ye Huan chuckled in his heart when he turned around.
Depend on! Fucking kicked the wrong person! This person is not the third uncle at all.
"This ...... I'm sorry, I'm really sorry for the wrong person......" Ye Huan blushed and apologized in embarrassment.
The middle-aged man who had been wrongfully kicked looked up and glanced at him, then lowered his head and squatted to clean up the white fungus soup that had been spilled on the ground.
Ye Huan became more and more embarrassed, rubbed his hands and said, "Don't clean it up, it's so dirty, you can't eat it when you pick it up, can I ask you to eat another bowl?" ”
The man looked up at him again, then stood up and slammed the bowl of white fungus soup on Ye Huan's head without saying a word.
Ye Huan: "............"
Shen Duli, who heard the movement, walked out of the study and saw such a scene.
A middle-aged man in civilian clothes with a muddy face glared at Ye Huan angrily, and Ye Huan, with a small porcelain bowl on his head and a face of soup, the two glared at each other.
Shen Duli stroked his forehead and sighed, pointed to the middle-aged man, and said, "Old Five, he is your nephew, Ye Huan." ”
"Ye Huan, this is your fifth uncle, the commander of the Beijing Garrison Military Region, Shen Duzhi."
Ye Huan shook hands enthusiastically with a head full of soup and water, and his anger turned into endless flattery: "It turned out to be the fifth uncle, fortunately, I will be lucky!" ”
Shen Duzhi snorted, turned his head to Shen Duli and said, "Big brother, you gave birth to such a thing twenty years ago?" ”
