Chapter 44: The Full Moon Feast

On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, at the gate of a famous restaurant with local cuisine in Jiangzhou, a red congratulatory plaque of "Congratulations to the noble son of Zhoufu on the full moon" is placed.

Mr. and Mrs. Zhou Zhidong were standing at the door, and behind the door were his parents, who were playing with their grandson, who had just completed the moon.

At this time, five cars lined up and drove into the parking lot of the restaurant. Soon, I saw Qin Ran appear in front of me with everyone in the company.

"Congratulations!"

Qin Ran hugged his fists and said, and the others behind him also congratulated Zhou Zhidong on his happy event.

"Thank you, thank you all for coming to the banquet despite your busy schedule!"

Zhou Zhidong also returned the salute, thanking the company's partners, all of whom were company executives.

"The baby is so cute. Come, Uncle for a small gift. ”

Then I saw Qin Ran take out a long-life lock made of sterling silver from his hand and hang it around the baby's neck.

"Ouch, baby, thank you, uncle, for such an expensive gift."

Zhou Zhidong's wife held the baby's hand and shook it twice at Qin Ran.

"Haha, I bought it when I saw it for a while, I thought it was fun, I hope you don't dislike it."

Qin Ran originally planned to buy a big gold lock with Huang Cancan, but Li Desheng reminded him that since ancient times, children have been wearing silver locks, and gold is not in line with etiquette.

When they went to the account to deliver the red envelope, the executives discussed it, and they were all five hundred per person. In 1998, ordinary people generally gave one or two hundred to the banquet, and five hundred was quite high.

But for Qin Ran, he is the boss, no one dares to ask how much he wants, anyway, it won't be less.

Qin Ran deliberately said a few more words to the children, and then after the company executives entered the hall and took their seats, he came to the account room alone and took out an envelope, which contained 10,000 yuan with a bank seal.

Zhou Zhidong really has nothing to say, and he cooperates very well with Qin Ran, and the company is well organized under his care. What's more, he was stabbed for Qin Ran, and almost ruined his family, so Qin Ran has always been indebted to him. This time, Zhou Zhidong set up wine for his son, and Qin Ran just took this opportunity to compensate him.

When the person in charge of the accounts saw such a large amount, he quickly pulled Zhou Zhidong's father over. He is a friend invited by Zhou Zhidong's father, and because he writes well, he is also loyal, and his friends often let him be the bookkeeper when he sets up wine.

"You're Xiaodong's boss, right? It's really a talent, but isn't it too much of a gift? No merit is not punished! ”

Zhou Zhidong's father saw that Qin Ran had given such a big gift, and he couldn't help but say hello in amazement.

"Well, we are partners, and Mr. Zhou has done a lot of work for the company. These are not only for me, but also for the company. Mr. Zhou's dedication, we all see it, and he really deserves it. ”

Qin Ran responded to Zhou Zhidong's father with a smile.

"Xiaodong! Come here. ”

Zhou Zhidong's father raised his hand and called his son over. After Zhou Zhidong came over, he quietly told him in his ear that Qin Ran had sent 10,000 red envelopes.

"Mr. Qin, this--I really shouldn't say something!"

When Zhou Zhidong heard this, people were also shocked, the red envelope was indeed too big.

"It's okay, it's the company's heart. You know me, and I will never treat the heroes badly. In the future, I will be the greatest thank you for managing the company for me. ”

Qin Ran patted Zhou Zhidong on the shoulder and walked into the hall with a smile.

"Such a boss is a big man! It seems that you resigned as the manager of Wanjian Company, and I did not agree with it at the beginning, but now it seems that it is indeed a very correct choice. Do a good job, follow him, and you will definitely be able to make a name for yourself. ”

Zhou Zhidong's father felt that his son had indeed grown up and no longer needed to escort him, and the next days would be to retire and take care of his grandson at home.

"Dad, don't worry, I have my own sense of proportion."

After Zhou Zhidong finished speaking, he hurried back to the door, and another guest to the banquet arrived, and he needed to greet him at the door with his wife.

When Qin Ran entered the door, he found that the company's executives had taken their seats, but the seat in the middle was empty, obviously leaving a place for him. Walking over and sitting down, Qin Ran began to join in the small talk of everyone.

"Hi, everyone, you are all colleagues of Zhidong Company, right? My name is Guo Huiming, and I am a good friend and college classmate of his. Now I work at Zhongyang Real Estate, which is my business card. ”

After speaking, Guo Huiming distributed the business cards to everyone present one by one.

Qin Ran smiled and took the business card, and found that it read "General Manager of Yangcheng Commercial Branch of Zhongyang Real Estate Group".

"Your company is an out-and-out dark horse in the industry this year, and even I can hear your deeds in distant Yangcheng. In particular, your blockbuster annual meeting can be the envy of many of our colleagues. ”

Since they were peers and friends of Zhou Zhidong, everyone made a place at the table for him to sit down.

"In this way, you flew from Yangcheng, thousands of miles away, to Jiangzhou to participate in the full moon banquet, and it seems that you have a good relationship with Mr. Zhou."

Song Pengcheng looked at the business card, and the similar culture between Yangcheng and Hong Kong naturally gave him a sense of intimacy, so he asked specially.

"Actually, we are friends and rivals. When we were in college, we used to quarrel in class and continue to argue when we returned to the dorm, but neither of us could convince anyone! Later, we went to the same company and did the same job. The difference is that he was promoted to manager a year before me, but I got married half a year before him. Who knew that now he was ahead again, and he had a baby earlier than me. ”

Guo Huiming took back the business cards handed back by everyone present with both hands one by one, and teased about his relationship with Zhou Zhidong.

"I want to ask what the hell is the problem you've been arguing about?"

Gong Huiyun is a woman who is naturally attentive and asks the key.

"Actually, it's nothing, it's just that in the real estate industry, whether residential real estate is better or commercial real estate is better. We have been arguing about this question from college to now, or no one can convince anyone? So I have to prove it with actions, you see me, I am now mixed in commercial real estate, and Zhidong has always insisted on the residential industry. Now it seems that our war is expected to continue for a long time for the time being. ”

Guo Huiming took Qin Ran's business card with both hands, and found that there was no position on it, only his name and contact number, and then he was sitting in the main seat, and he knew that he was the person who spoke about Jiangnan Real Estate.

"Mr. Qin, I have been looking up for a long time, I didn't expect you to be so young, you are really a hero. Compared to you, I immediately feel that I am getting old, and I will soon be obsolete by the times. ”

"Mr. Guo, you are too humble, in fact, I am not small, but my face is tender and I don't look old and look young."

Qin Ran smiled and politely replied to Guo Huiming's greetings.

"Zhongyang is a benchmark in the real estate industry and an object of our learning. We Jiangnan real estate does not have a representative real estate now, some are just some lace rumors, really can't be on the table, if you don't have self-knowledge, it will only make peers laugh and be generous. ”

Picking up the cup and taking a sip of tea, Qin Ran continued, by the way, sounding the alarm bell for the company executives present, so as not to be complacent before the results were made.

"Actually, when I first arrived in Jiangzhou in the afternoon, I took a taxi to see your construction site in Xiziwan. I saw the renderings of your tree outside the construction site, and took a cursory look at the site of the construction site. I found that although it is a new company, you are very well managed and the location is well selected, especially the design of the property is in line with the international trend. I estimate that by the time the market opens, your company's real estate will definitely be an instant hit. ”

As an industry insider, Guo Huiming's words have a certain reference value. His affirmation made the executives of Jiangnan Company feel that their faces were bright.

"Do your best to obey the destiny of heaven, I hope to accept your words."

Qin Ran is of course confident in his own real estate, but he is still low-key before the results come out.

"Actually, I'm looking forward to what it will be like if your company enters commercial real estate in the future. Can it bring new vitality to the commercial real estate circle, which is now in the twilight of life? ”

Guo Huiming talked for a long time, and finally returned to his old job. When he said this, he was obviously coming at Qin Ran, and he wanted to hear the opinion of the CEO of Jiangnan Real Estate.

"Sleeping and shopping are not in conflict, they are both the most basic human needs. But in the current situation, I think it's more urgent to sleep. When people have a place to sleep and have more pocket money in their pockets, then shopping will go beyond sleeping and become a new hot spot. ”

Qin Ran did not answer directly, but used an analogy to illustrate.

The people present were all smart people, and they knew that Qin Ran meant that Jiangnan Real Estate was currently focusing on residential buildings, and there was no plan to enter commercial real estate for the time being. If the opportunity is right in the future, when everyone is looking forward to "shopping", Qin Ran may not miss the opportunity to enter commercial real estate.

"It seems that I will have to continue to wait patiently for that day to come. Haha, okay, I won't bother you, and we will have a chance to communicate in the future. ”

Guo Huiming laughed, waved goodbye to everyone, and returned to his desk. It can be seen that their table is Zhou Zhidong's old classmates.

"Mr. Guo is also a talent just now, and he can achieve the level of regional general manager in Zhongyang at a young age, so he should have a few brushes in his hands. Listening to him, he also graduated from Huaqing University, so it's no wonder that he can compete with Mr. Zhou. ”

It continued to be Gong Huiyun whispered, this year's company's generous benefits made her glow with a second spring. After getting the year-end bonus, she went home and summed it up with her husband, plus the money she had saved for many years to buy a wedding house for her son, she should not worry. The company's real estate is on sale on National Day, and then she plans to get a set for her son's marriage, after all, she knows that all indicators of the real estate are far ahead of Jiangzhou. What's more, with Qin Ran's temperament, a big discount will definitely be indispensable at that time.

"In the future, it will be the era of high education, high IQ and high technology, and I am afraid that it will be the turn of these people to lead the trend of the times, and it is no longer the rhythm of the rivers and lakes with low culture who dare to fight and dare to dare to command the world. The NASDAQ in the United States has become a high-tech wealth maker, and many young people have become multimillionaires overnight with their brains. ”

Song Pengcheng has been immersed in Hong Kong for many years, and his vision is indeed forward, and he foresees in advance that the future will be the era when technology is king. Qin Ran couldn't help but look at him twice, this middle-aged man with gray hair and sideburns did have energy that could not be underestimated. China's next hot spot, in addition to real estate, is the Internet.

The atmosphere at the dinner was very warm, and Zhou Zhidong's baby would often show a charming smile, accompanied by dancing and babbling, which made the guests laugh.

When leaving, Qin Ran found a familiar figure on the side of the restaurant.
