Chapter 8 Celebration Banquet
Marriott Grand Hotel.
The people of Sioux City have a saying that is often on their lips, called "South Marriott North Fu Palace", which can be seen from the status of Marriott Hotel in Sioux City's catering and hotel industry.
Wen Xinyao set this celebration here, and the specifications are indeed a bit high.
Less than seven o'clock, Lin Dong and the others arrived at Marriott. In addition to Guo Kai, the people who came to Marriott tonight are all colleagues who entered the company with Lin Dong, Gao Qian and Xu Liren are listed, and there is also a male colleague named Cui Guangcai. Cui Guangcai is also a native of Sioux City, usually low-key, and has a very good relationship with Lin Dong.
As for the Marriott Hotel, Lin Dong should be the most familiar with it, he doesn't know how many times he has been here here, but he is here to serve dishes.
After going to college, in order to reduce the burden on his family, Lin Dong often used weekends or holidays to do some part-time jobs. Marriott's business is booming, and there are often insufficient manpower during holidays, so it will find some part-time temporary workers, and the hotel will pay ten dollars per hour on time. Lin Dong has been here many times, and he is familiar with the hotel staff.
Although there were only six people tonight, Wen Xinyao had set up a private room, the Gui Hall of the Chinese restaurant.
Pushing open the two mahogany doors, a fresh and elegant breath came to the face, and the faint fragrance of osmanthus entered the nose. The fragrance was quiet and elegant, which made people feel more relaxed and comfortable.
Although the decoration materials of the Gui Hall are not luxurious, they are extremely elegant. In addition to the chandelier on the top of the private hall, there are almost no European-style things in the hall, and the furnishings in the hall are all Ming-style furniture with concise and beautiful textures, revealing an antique taste.
The beautiful waitress in a cheongsam led Lin Dong and the others to sit down in the side hall, and stood aside after making tea for everyone.
Guo Kai picked up the teacup, took a sip, and praised: "Well, this high-grade Tieguanyin is different, much better than the one in my office." ”
Lin Dong didn't have the interest to taste tea, picked up the teacup, drank it all, except for a faint bitterness, he didn't taste anything, and he couldn't wait to ask the waiter to change him to a big bowl of tea on the spot.
Gao Qian also took a sip, and smiled at the corner of her mouth, this tea is not Tieguanyin at all, but Pu'er, but in order not to embarrass Guo Kai, she didn't say it in public.
The so-called three sentences do not leave the bank, Lin Dong and they all work in securities companies, chatting and chatting, it is inevitable that they will not go to the stock market.
"I have a hunch that there may be a wave of market in the second half of this year, and this wave of market is likely to be the beginning of a new round of bull market." Guo Kai is the oldest employee among them, and he has been in the stock market for five or six years, and what he says will not be nonsense.
Throughout the past 20 years or so that China's stock market has existed, it has basically followed such a law of bears, five bulls, and three bulls. And this round of bear market has been going on for more than four years, according to the law of five bears and three bulls, the bear tail is also the bull head, so Guo Kai's guess that the second half of this year may be the beginning of the bull market is not unreasonable.
Lin Dong also knows that there is a law of bears and five bulls and three bulls, but looking at the current economic environment at home and abroad, he really didn't find where the confidence to build a bull market is.
The dark clouds of the European debt crisis are looming around the world, the US economy is stagnation, the growth rate is slow, the unemployment rate is rising, the people at home are complaining, the island country is also saying that its economy is also sluggish, since the 80s fell into the quagmire, it has been unable to really recover, and even China, after more than 20 years of rapid growth, has finally appeared in a weak situation, and at present, all economic indicators are showing a downward trend.
Cui Guangcai, who has been silent, said: "At present, the growth rate of the world's four major economies, the United States, China, and Europe, is slowing down, and each has its own problems, I really don't know if this round of bull market will come as scheduled." However, it is difficult to say that the recovery and recession of the stock market are always ahead of the real economy. ”
Guo Kai and Cui Guangcai's words are very reasonable, the stock god Warren Buffett has a famous saying, called "I am afraid when others are greedy, and I am greedy when others are afraid", the capital market is like this, there will always be a few people making money, so if you want to make money in the stock market, you don't need to have a superior academic background, nor do you need to have extraordinary analytical ability, you only need to have a big heart that can afford to lose and win!
Starve the faint-hearted, and support the bold.
"The more crises there are, the more opportunities there are!"
Lin Dong said a sentence summarizing his surname, and before his words fell, he saw Wen Xin walking in with light steps and graceful steps.
"Mr. Wen......"
When everyone saw her come in, they got up to greet her.
After Wen Xinyao got off work, she went home and changed into a set of casual clothes, a white T-shirt and light blue jeans with blue and white board shoes under her feet, her hair was tied back casually, and she combed her hair in a ponytail.
It is said that women have a thousand faces, but Wen Xinyao is beautiful no matter which side she is.
Lin Dong could not deny that every time he saw this woman, he had an instinctive and natural reaction, which often made his conscience feel remorseful.
"Hey, I really don't know which man has great fortune, and if he can marry a woman like Mr. Wen as his wife, wouldn't it take him to ...... every night" Lin Dong couldn't help but think wildly, his mind was full of some dirty and dirty thoughts, his conscience was condemned, and he couldn't wait to slap himself.
Gao Qian stepped forward, grabbed Wen Xinyao's arm, looked at her shoulder with a little bird, and said coquettishly: "Mr. Wen, your dress really makes you twenty years younger, I am jealous to death......"
Wen Xin Yaoyu pinched her finger on Gao Qian's face, with a smile on her eyebrows, and the vice president of the company who was not smiling and had a cold face.
"You girl, you can really talk. Hey, the years are merciless, I'm old, and the world will be yours sooner or later. Wen Xinyao sighed and beckoned everyone to sit down.
The waitress walked up to Wen Xinyao, bowed down and asked with a smile, "Mr. Wen, hello, can I pass the food?" ”
Wen Xinyao nodded and said, "Let's serve, it's almost eight o'clock, everyone is hungry." ”
Wen Xinyao sat in the main seat, Guo Kai and Gao Qian sat on either side of him, and Lin Dong happened to sit opposite Wen Xinyao.
The food was served quickly, like flowing water, and in a short time, the empty table was soon filled with all kinds of delicacies. Lin Dong knows the specifications of the Marriott Hotel, the minimum consumption of the private dining room of the Chinese restaurant is 3,000, and the table should be 4,000 specifications, in a place like Marriott, it can be regarded as a medium standard, but it is used to entertain them, which is already a high standard.
After the dishes were served, Tom, the director of the Chinese restaurant, walked in. Wen Xinyao is a frequent visitor here, and this kind of old customer is different from individual customers outside, so she naturally needs to maintain a good relationship.
"Mr. Wen, what do you have to say, I will personally serve you at this table." Tom was a fat man, with a big belly, medium height, a shaved hairstyle, gold-rimmed glasses, and a smile wrinkled the flesh on his face.
When he entered the door, he saw Lin Dong and felt a little familiar, but when he thought that the person he knew was just a poor boy, it was possible to serve dishes outside, how could he sit here and eat?
Wen Xinyao waved her hand, "Manager Tang, you go out to get busy, I will trouble you if you have something." ”
Tom meant to be kind words, and in his capacity, he would not entertain him personally unless he was the leader of the city. Before leaving, he glanced at Lin Dong again, and the more he looked, the more he felt that he was very similar to the poor student he knew.
Lin Dong smiled at Tom, "Mr. Tang, don't you know me?" I'm Lin Dong, who used to come here to work part-time. ”
Lin Dong reported to himself, Tom touched his head, and said with a smile: "Oh...... I said how do you feel familiar, it turned out to be Xiaolin, hey, you kid is a good mix. ”
Lin Dong left his seat, walked out the door with Tom, and had a brief chat. This Tom used to be nice to him, and when he was working part-time, he would often ask the kitchen to cook some delicious food for him. In addition to reminiscing about the past, Lin Dong also had a question to ask him for.
Based on Lin Dong's understanding of the Marriott Hotel, a place like Gui Hall cannot be booked with money. Wen Xinyao, who is also the vice president of Yuanhe Securities, was able to book Gui Hall at such a good time, which made Lin Dong feel that this woman's background was not as simple as it seemed.
"Boy, you said that Wen Xinyao invited you to dinner, your kid has a big face! There are many dignitaries and nobles who want to invite Wen Xinyao to dinner, and she actually invites you to dinner, you cow! ”
Lin Dong smiled, "Mr. Tang, I am working at Yuanhe Securities now, Wen is always my leader, and tonight she will not invite me alone, but invite us colleagues to celebrate together." ”
Although Lin Dong did not directly ask Tom Wen Xinyao's background, he had already got the answer from Tom's words. For a woman like Wen Xinyao, the man who chases behind her is either rich or expensive, and through these relationships, it is not difficult to book a Gui Hall.
After chatting with Tom Dong Dong and Xi Xi, Lin Dong entered the Gui Hall and returned to his seat.
