"Let's go, take you to eat authentic Beijing food. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo”

After the meeting, Li Xiaojia patted Zhong Shi on the shoulder and warmly invited, "Although we are not landlords, you helped me make up for the lack today, so this favor must be returned." Quanjude roast duck knows, since we are all in Beijing, we must invite you to eat this. ”

Li Xiaojia is forty-five years old, with a Chinese face, a dignified appearance, and unusually thick eyebrows. He was in the prime of his life, but gray hair had crept up his sideburns. Sitting in the position of president of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange is very stressful, and despite the criticism from all sides in recent years, Li Xiaojia has withstood the pressure to continue to expand his business, at least so far the data on the financial statements prove that he is right about these measures.

In the discussion at the meeting just now, Zhong Shi pointed out an oversight on the part of Li Xiaojia. Li Xiaojia broke out in a cold sweat on the spot, and he felt grateful to Zhong Shi while still feeling palpitations. When the meeting was over, he warmly invited Zhong Shi to dinner to show his gratitude.

For Zhongshi and Tianyu Fund, Li Xiaojia and the Hong Kong Stock Exchange are very clear. For such a behemoth, in addition to a little pride in their hearts, they are also full of vigilance. Because once the Tianyu Fund is fully fired, it is likely to disrupt the order of Hong Kong's capital market. Fortunately, the Tianyu Fund is also very face-saving, and most of the funds are not active in Hong Kong, which makes Li Xiaojia and his colleagues secretly relieved.

Faced with the invitation of the president of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, Zhong Shi naturally would not refuse, and immediately quipped: "I'm afraid that President Li wants to eat roast duck, by the way, pull me to make up the number?" Haha, I don't dare to ask for ears. ”

Li Xiaojia laughed and was very satisfied.

Quanjude Roast Duck Restaurant, located in Hepingmen, is a flagship store and also bears the responsibility of receiving foreign guests. As the largest roast duck restaurant in the world, it can accommodate up to 1,500 people at a time. The bright red decoration is full of festivity and joy, and the bright yellow tablecloth reveals a kind of simplicity and dignity.

Because of the reservation in advance, Li Xiaojia and Zhong Shi did not wait long, and walked through the bustling hall under the leadership of the waiter and entered a box called "Spring Breeze".

"Thank you for today, Zhong Sheng."

After the two sides sat down, Li Xiaojia personally poured Zhong Shi a cup of tea, and then said, "I didn't think about this matter carefully enough and ignored the possibility of money laundering." I thought about it later, and the problem of money laundering is really difficult. We don't seem to have a better way than to closely monitor securities trading. ”

"That's enough!"

Zhong Shi nodded, "Whether it is the mainland or Hong Kong, the stock market is a big choice for money laundering. In fact, we have no better way than to strengthen regulation. What I have put forward is only a supplement to your proposal, not directed at you. President Li doesn't have to take it to heart, after all, a wise man must make a mistake in a thousand thoughts. ”

"Hahaha, Zhong Sheng is too good at talking."

Li Xiaojia was very happy, and poured Zhong Shi another cup of tea, "Indeed, if you hadn't pointed out my negligence, I'm afraid others would have thought that I was speaking specifically for the money laundering syndicate." Okay, let's not talk about business, the roast duck will be fine soon, let's sacrifice the five visceral temples first. ”

"So fast?"

Zhong Shi was surprised, "Didn't you say you would have to wait at least fifty minutes?" ”

"Looks like you know the rules of eating duck."

Li Xiaojia rubbed his hands together and looked at Zhong Shi with a knowing smile, "I made a call before I came and asked them to enter the furnace as soon as possible." So we don't have to wait too long for us to have a fragrant roast duck. ”

As he spoke, the white-robed chef walked in with a dining cart, and two yellow ducks hung on the cart rickely, and the smell of the smell suddenly filled the room. Li Xiaojia couldn't help but take a long breath, revealing an intoxicated look.

Seeing this scene, the seasoned chef didn't understand that the other party was a glutton, so he immediately smiled slightly, put on gloves and began to get busy quickly.

Slices of golden duck meat were peeled off, and side foods such as sweet noodle sauce, green onion strips, cucumber strips, lotus leaf cakes, and green vegetables were also served on the table one by one. In the hands of a skilled chef, the two ducks were quickly turned into skeletons, which were used to make duck broth. Because people in eastern Guangdong like to make soup very much, Li Xiaojia has come more often, and the chef here knows his taste, and he can cook the dishes that the other party likes without being instructed.

In addition to crispy sliced duck and duck broth, special dishes such as roasted duck heart, crystal duck treasure, duck bun shark fin and so on were served one after another. After the dishes were served, the chef bowed slightly to the two of them and withdrew.

"Let me tell you, because this charcoal fire is made of fruit wood, so the roasted duck is not only crispy in skin and tender in meat, but also wafting a fragrance of fruit wood."

Picking up a slice of sliced duck meat, Li Xiaojia did not rush to put it in his mouth, but sniffed deeply under the tip of his nose, and then said with an intoxicated face, "It's a pity that you need a license to open a charcoal furnace in Hong Kong, but it is much less efficient than an electric stove, so there are no shops that use charcoal fire now." If you want to eat authentic roast duck, you still have to be in Yanjing. ”

Without waiting for Zhong Shi to say anything, he picked up another piece of lotus leaf cake, carefully shone it at the ceiling light, and explained: "Don't underestimate this piece of lotus leaf cake, it is also very particular. A good lotus leaf cake should have no paste spots and raw white spots, be thin and uniform, and preferably be able to transmit light. Just like the lotus leaf cake I have on hand, it is a standard sample. ”

"It seems that President Li is really good at this, otherwise he wouldn't know like this."

Since the other party hadn't started yet, Zhong Shi naturally didn't want to eat first, so he picked up a piece of duck meat and sniffed it in the same way, but he didn't smell anything except the tangy fragrance.

"Dip it in sweet noodle sauce and add some green onion strips or cucumber strips, these are personal tastes."

While explaining in detail, while wrapping a piece according to the steps said, Li Xiaojia put it in his mouth, and after chewing it carefully for a long time, he let out a long groan comfortably, "It's so delicious." ”

At this moment, his words were impoverished, and only this "delicious" words remained.

"It's very tasty."

Zhong Shi also praised, "The lotus leaf cake is very chewy, the duck meat is crispy and tender, the duck skin melts in the mouth, the sweet sauce amplifies the taste buds, and the garlic paste neutralizes part of the greasyness, and after swallowing, the lips and teeth are fragrant, which makes people have an endless aftertaste." Roast duck is indeed a well-known delicacy at home and abroad, no wonder President Li is so intoxicated. ”

"Makes you laugh!"

Li Xiaojia, who was sucking his index finger, smiled embarrassedly and said, "I'm not a good person, and I'm not lustful, so it's good to eat this bite." Speaking of which, I have tasted all the world's delicacies, and I can be called a veteran glutton. ”

"By the way, President Li invited me here, it shouldn't be just a meal, right?"

After three rounds of wine and five flavors, Zhong Shi began to ask tentatively, "Is there anything else besides thanking me?" Or is there something I need help with? ”

"Haha, sure enough, I can't hide anything from Zhong Sheng."

Li Xiaojia wiped his mouth with a tablecloth and gave Zhong Shi a thumbs up, "There is indeed such a thing, but it is not too important." There is one thing Zhong Sheng I am afraid you don't know, it is this roast duck restaurant, no, it should be the roast duck group is considering going public. ”

"Really? That's a good thing. ”

Zhong Shi put down his chopsticks, pondered for a moment and said, "I just don't know what this matter has to do with me?" ”

"This has nothing to do with you."

Li Xiaojia said with a smile, "However, Quanjude Group plans to be listed in China, and I disagree with this, because I am still waiting for the day when the Quanjude branch will open in Hong Kong." Moreover, this may be the first IPO of a catering company in China, which has a strong demonstration effect on the catering enterprises in the entire mainland. Therefore, I have been active during this time, hoping that the shareholders of Quanjude can change their minds and place the IPO in Hong Kong. ”

"As a representative of Hong Kong capital and a super network in Yanjing, I think Mr. Zhong should be a good lobbyist. This meal is a sign of my gratitude, and I want to ask you to see if there is a way to make the shareholders of Quanjude consider Hong Kong. ”

Finally, Li Xiaojia said the purpose of the treat.

"This ......"

Zhong Shi hesitated.

It was difficult for him to agree to this matter, because he did not have any intersection with the shareholders of Quanjude; At the same time, it is not easy to refuse, after all, Li Xiaojia's identity is there, so he didn't know what to say for a while.

……

"Hey, I said, why do you like to have a treat here?"

Just outside Zhong Shi and Li Xiaojia's box, two men in their thirties were smoking cigarettes and talking, one of them pointed to the other's head and complained, "I'm going to vomit, I really don't know why you like roast duck so much?" I said, are you sick? ”

"Brother Zhou, if you don't like it, I'll let them serve something else."

The other man didn't feel sorry for him, he just laughed, "No way, my family was poor when I was a child, and I didn't eat anything good, so it's good when I grow up." But Brother Zhou, you should also know that once I have a treat in Quanjude, there must be something important to discuss. ”

"Or Lao Tzu won't come!"

The person named Brother Zhou glanced at the other party, and said angrily, "Xiao Cen, let's talk about it now, what is the matter?" Your kid is better informed than me, and you should have made a lot of money in the past two years. ”

"No matter how much you have, where is there a more lucrative business than oil?"

The middle-aged man surnamed Cen continued to laugh and said, "But Brother Zhou, this news is too important to say here at all." We'll talk about it when we're in the box. You should remember what I told you last time, it was about to start. ”

"Really?"

Hearing this, the middle-aged man surnamed Zhou's face changed, snuffed out the cigarette butt and looked around, his face became solemn, and he lowered his voice and said, "Xiao Cen, this matter is very important, don't make a mistake with your news!" ”

"You can't go wrong!"

The middle-aged man surnamed Cen patted his chest and promised, "Brother Zhou, look at what you said, when did I miss the news?" This time, in addition to the things mentioned last time, there are many other news, which are definitely heavyweight. ”

"Good!"

Hearing such a guarantee, Brother Zhou also became excited, hugged the other party's shoulder affectionately, and shouted loudly, "Waiter, quickly find me a box." Damn, Malay, how do you do it? ”

"With your attitude, in my clubhouse, you will be expelled immediately!"

The middle-aged man surnamed Cen also echoed, "It's so lazy, I really don't know how such a high salary can support a waste person like you." Hurry up, uncle, I'm going to starve to death! ”

The conscience of heaven and earth, when the two were talking, there was a waiter who stayed beside the two of them, ready to accept the call. Especially after the middle-aged man surnamed Zhou spoke, this young man who was not good-looking immediately walked over and guided the two of them to walk inside. But even so, the waiter was mercilessly reprimanded by the two arrogant middle-aged men.

In the dim light, a slightly hideous face appeared in front of the cowering waiter. If Zhong Shi was here, he would immediately recognize that the person named Brother Zhou was Zhou Changan. (To be continued.) )
