Chapter 417: Special Hobbies
This courtyard is very close to Wangfujing Street, an old house that Ma Xuejun finally found at the beginning, what is commendable is that several families in this house happily changed buildings to live in after giving money, and they were so excited that they said that it was worth selling.
After receiving the mansion, Lin Qiangsheng immediately asked Ma Xuejun to renovate it, this courtyard was not an official's mansion, maybe it was, but its regulations were very ordinary, just an ordinary courtyard. In addition, the people who live here have built four small courtyards in the courtyard, making the whole courtyard a mess and in tatters.
Lin Qiangsheng asked Ma Xuejun to demolish all the buildings here, and even the two original wings of the east and west were not kept, and they were all demolished. However, the original bricks and the old timbers that were still in good condition were preserved, because it was very difficult to find bricks of this color and these large logs.
After renovation, a two-story small building was built on the location of the main house, which is still the kind of big tile house in the capital, and the east and west wings were rebuilt. The large courtyard was also refilled, stone slabs were laid in front of the middle house, and some flowers and plants were planted in the open space; A row of fruit trees was planted on the side of the courtyard wall, including apples, peaches, hawthorns, cherries, plums, apricots, pears, walnuts and jujube trees, and grape trellises were erected in front of the east wing. The saplings have been planted for more than a year now, and some of them have grown beyond the high courtyard walls.
"Johnson & Johnson, how many hours will you stay in the capital this time?" Wang Yun glanced at Mary Gretel, smiled at her, and then asked Lin Qiangsheng.
Lin Qiangsheng nodded and said, "Yes, these foreigners came to me to talk about the project, and I had to take them back to Bincheng early!" ”
Wang Yun sighed, then pulled Lin Qiangsheng's arm and said with a smile: "Come and eat, I fried a few dishes and stewed half a chicken, all of which you like to eat!" ”
"This is Wang Yun, this is Mary, Mary, you can eat it too! Try authentic Kyoto cuisine. Miss Wang is very good at cooking! After Lin Qiangsheng introduced the two, he beckoned Mary Gretel into the courtyard.
Mary can now understand a little Mandarin, she took the initiative to extend her hand to Wang Yun, and the two shook hands and said a few words to each other after saying a few words about chicken and duck.
When Mary walked into the room, she was stunned, she thought that the house should be like that after seeing the antique Chinese style in the courtyard, but in fact, after entering the room, a Western smell immediately hit her face, almost making her feel out of time.
The interior of the main room is quite modern. Big red coarse-grained elm floors and deep rosewood furniture, black Italian leather sofas, TVs, refrigerators, air conditioners, and bizarre with an American-style fireplace on the walls.
What a random mash-up!
The strong ideological and cultural impact made Mary Gretel dizzy, and she had been doing more than 20 hours of continuous airplanes and jet lag, so that her body could not adjust a little.
"Come and sit down, by the way, you go wash your hands first, I'll serve the food and eat right away!" Johnson & Johnson, you know where the bathroom is, right? Wang Yun was busy and didn't forget to greet them.
Lin Qiangsheng has always liked Wang Yun, a girl. She's like the kind of woman who can really get by.
He laughed, "I know the layout of this house!" Mary, follow me. He led Marygretel out the door and into the west wing, which was a large bathroom. There is also a bathroom next to it, all separate.
"Oh, it's luxurious!" Mary was amazed to see the Mediterranean-style Italian tiles and the polished stainless steel metal trim, this combination actually appeared here, in an antique Chinese bungalow, the contrast is too great!
Lin Qiangsheng finished washing his hands and said to Mary Gretel with a smile: "You CIA should know. I spent some time in Modena, which is one of the most famous tiles in the world. Produce the world's best ceramic tiles! No, I bought several tile brands in Modena! ”
Watching Lin Qiangsheng walk out, Mary Gretel muttered in a low voice: "But it takes a lot of energy to transport it to Chinese mainland!" ”
"By the way, there is a bathroom next to it, so if you want to use it conveniently!" Suddenly, Lin Qiangsheng probed in again and said.
"Okay, I got it!" Mary hurriedly pushed Lin Qiangsheng out.
On the dinner table. Mary is especially fond of shredded pork with Kyoto sauce and mixed noodles because she eats both.
Lin Qiangsheng handed her a glass of white wine, and he took a sip first.
"What is this?" Mary sniffed the smell suspiciously and asked Lin Qiangsheng.
Lin Qiangsheng said with a smile: "Chinese vodka, cheers!" ”
Mary sighed, took a small sip. Unexpectedly, as soon as Lin Qiangsheng lifted the wine glass, a glass of 56-degree two-pot head was all in his stomach.
Seeing Mary stunned and looking at herself finally lying on the table, Lin Qiangsheng smiled and said to Wang Yun: "This time it's clean!" ”
Wang Yun asked suspiciously, "Who is she?" ”
"CIA guys." Lin Qiangsheng carried Mary Gretel to the sofa and covered her with a blanket.
"!" Wang Yun didn't believe it, and glared at Lin Qiangsheng and looked at Mary who had fallen asleep in a daze.
The girl said enviously: "She is quite good-looking, but now she looks like a doll!" ”
"How are Yao Jinyun and Wu Fang? Where are the two of them now? How did Shen Rui do? Lin Qiangsheng asked Wang Yun repeatedly, his expression a little nervous.
After Wang Yun heard this, he put down his chopsticks and fell silent, Lin Qiangsheng picked up a napkin, wiped his mouth, picked up two glasses and poured wine, and he handed Wang Yun a glass.
Wang Yun silently raised her head to look at Lin Qiangsheng, her eyes were a little moist and said: "Qiangsheng, what Jinyun, Wu Fang, and Shen Rui are doing is too dangerous, you better let them go!" ”
Lin Qiangsheng took a sip of wine and moistened his throat, then looked at Wang Yun and said: "What's the danger, it's nothing more than collecting materials, they did a good job, they helped the public security organs catch a lot of criminals and let the bad guys get the punishment they deserve!" ”
Wang Yun said very worriedly: "But this year is different from previous years, and now it's a hard crackdown!" There are trucks on the streets all day long pulling criminals to the suburbs, and I heard that they are all "
Lin Qiangsheng sat next to Wang Yun, patted her on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, what they did not only did to remove harm to the society, but also helped the public security organs to make meritorious contributions!" Whoever touches them, I can't spare him first! ”
"Jinyun and Wu Fang are now in the northwest. It would be a few days before they left, and I don't know where they will go next. You go and ask Shen Rui, she is in charge of these things! Wang Yun said with some fear, she leaned her head on Lin Qiangsheng's shoulder.
Lin Qiangsheng nodded lightly, he reached out and put his arm around Wang Yun's shoulders and gently comforted the woman in his arms.
Some people like to collect properties, and some people like to collect antiques. But Lin Qiangsheng likes to do something special!
He loves to gather information about criminals, these guys are hidden in the sea of people, and he loves the thrill and accomplishment that they deserve!
In short, many rich people spend millions of dollars every year to buy famous cars, mansions, antiques and artworks, but Lin Qiangsheng likes to spend some money to do these things, which can be regarded as a special hobby of his.
To this end, he registered a company called Prism in the British Cayman Islands three years ago to collect information. The company now has more than 50 locations in more than 50 major countries around the world. Although many departments are only the size of their offices, the information they collect is very comprehensive, and they include information from all aspects of society. Many information companies in the world are doing such things, and Lin Johnson's little hobby is hidden under this legitimate business.
In fact, Lin Qiangsheng was also inspired by his previous life, and almost every mainstream software and hardware company in the world in his previous life was collecting customer information all the time. People use mobile phone software and even input methods, almost as long as you touch the electronic device, he is collecting your data! The user's personal habits will be uploaded to the cloud processor, and the input method can even record every byte typed out by the user and upload it to the unknown where. And there are so many people in the world who want to steal your secrets. The financial losses caused by hackers in the world every year are astronomical. Protecting information security has become a skill that individuals must pay attention to.
Prism's domestic headquarters is located in this vicinity. Lin Qiangsheng and Wang Yun quietly drove a black car out of the alley and turned onto the street from the back door, and five or six minutes later they drove to a brand-new steel structure building on Jinbao Street, Dongxing Construction Company.
The building is a two-year investment and construction of the Beijing headquarters of Dongxing Construction Company, a comprehensive enterprise integrating investment, development, engineering and construction.
Dongxing Properties, on the other hand, is mainly oriented at home and abroad, and unlike Dongxing Construction, Dongxing Properties also engages in trade and logistics, and is headquartered in Hong Kong.
The two went to the top 15th floor. The exterior of this building is made of glass curtain wall, and it is the first steel structure glass curtain wall building in Beijing, and it immediately became a landmark building in the city.
Walking out of the elevator, not far from the right-hand side is a concave bar, the front desk lady stood up and asked Lin Qiangsheng who came over vigilantly, "Hello sir." Do you have an appointment? ”
Lin Qiangsheng said: "No, you notify Shen Rui, and you will say that Lin Qiangsheng is here!" ”
The front desk was still a little puzzled, Wang Yun stepped forward and said, "I'm Wang Yun, do you know me?" ”
The front desk lady saw her and hurriedly said, "Hello Miss Wang, I will inform General Manager Shen immediately, please wait!" ”
Not long after, Shen Rui pushed open the door of an office and walked out, this was a woman with beautiful makeup and light eyebrows, but if you look closely, you will find that there is a hint of strength hidden in her eyes.
Shen Rui is Yao Jinyun's good friend, and Wu Fang, Wang Yun, and Lin Qiangsheng all met through Yao Jinyun. Among the women, Wang Yun is mature and charming, Yao Jinyun is lively and healthy, Wu Fang is independent, and Shen Rui is the only one among them who has a college degree and has worked in a government unit.
After Lin Qiangsheng established this company, he needed an experienced and somewhat different personality to take charge, and it happened that Shen Rui wanted to resign and return to Beijing at that time, so Lin Qiangsheng hired her.
Shen Rui is a girl with a bit of a rebellious personality, which is not to say that she is still a little girl, but she is actually a little dissatisfied with this social system. Of course, in this era, there are more people who are dissatisfied with society, some people take action and some people endure silently.
Several of them have been educated youths, but only Wu Fang has no experience of educated youth because he is young and voluntarily dropped out of school. Shen Rui was finally admitted to the university from the ravine in the countryside, and after experiencing the college years and the dull work in the government agencies, she longed for the air of freedom.
Lin Qiangsheng promised her that as long as she worked for herself for five years, she would be sent to study abroad, so Shen Rui began to work conscientiously for Lin Qiangsheng. (To be continued......)
