Chapter Twenty-Three: The Three Kingdoms Tea House

After the depths of winter, the white building is hidden in the falling snow, and in the depressed weather, we sit in the office and wait for the snow to clear up.

That winter, Junnan Real Estate, a subsidiary of Junnan Group, dominated the headlines of the city's media.

Junnan Real Estate invested tens of millions of dollars to pay holiday fees to migrant workers who were owed wages in the entire city, instantly conquering the bottom of the entire city.

The Ministry of Information arranged for Wen Liang to follow up and do a series of reports, but Liu Nannan took the initiative to ask Ying to say that she wanted to go and would take me with her.

Wen Liang was puzzled and said, "You two were just beaten by others last time, and you ran to do propaganda again, don't you want to take the opportunity to take revenge?" ”

Liu Nannan said with a smile: "It is precisely because of the beating that we must carry forward the spirit of getting up wherever we are defeated, so that people can see our broad-mindedness." ”

Liu Nannan called the public relations department of Junnan Group and said that he wanted to go for an interview. Unexpectedly, Zhao Junqing personally came to Taiwan to pick up people.

Gao Chuan drove, and Zhao Junqing sat in the passenger seat.

After I followed Liu Nannan into the car, Liu Nannan said: "It's just a simple interview, why bother to pick it up." ”

Gao Chuan said: "The people who give us propaganda are all nobles, let alone the two of you. ”

When they were chatting, I found that Liu Nannan was already very familiar with Zhao Junqing and Gao Chuan.

It turned out that after meeting at the gate of the stage last time, Liu Nannan and Zhao Junqing had a few private meals. The first time I had dinner was to ask Liu Nannan to help coordinate media relations, and then it was purely a private invitation, and Liu Nannan and Zhao Junqing changed from friends of enemies to direct friends.

Zhao Junqing turned his head and said to me: "Junnan Group has a ski resort in the suburbs, it's very fun, when to call me or Gao Chuan, media friends, everything is free." ”

I said I'll go when I have time.

Gao Chuan looked at the rearview mirror and smiled: "Obviously polite, I definitely won't go." ”

Before I could speak, Liu Nannan said: "Xia Yu is not cheap at all. You let him play for free, he definitely won't go, you give him a minimum discount. ”

Zhao Junqing patted me and said: "The ski resort has just opened, and it is gaining popularity, this is a help, not a bargain." ”

I nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go." ”

Zhao Junqing continued: "It's too lonely for the two of you to come to the interview, call a few more media friends and come to Junnan Group to play." ”

Liu Nannan said: "Your group is now famous, I am afraid that other media have finished promoting it a few days ago. ”

Zhao Junqing smiled: "It doesn't matter if you send a press release or not, there are more people and it's lively, besides, can't you come to our company to play after publicity?" ”

Liu Nannan said: "Okay, I'll call a group of reporters to come and take pictures and expose them secrets, maybe Junnan Group is hiding an ulterior secret." ”

A carload of people laughed.

Liu Nannan contacted two beautiful reporters from the radio and television newspaper and the radio station, and when she heard that it was a beauty, Gao Chuan straightened her hair in the rearview mirror, sprayed some perfume on her collar, and said that she would pick it up later, maybe she would have a chance.

Liu Nannan smiled and said: "You want to find a reporter to be your wife, if you are not good enough for her, she dares to publish the secret history of your ancestors for several generations." ”

Gao Chuan said solemnly: "Then Mr. Zhao should be careful." ”

Zhao Junqing and Liu Nannan subconsciously glanced at each other, and then looked out of the car separately.

After being silent for a while, Zhao Junqing asked me if I had any media friends who had a particularly good relationship, and I also called a few.

I hesitated to contact Lao Tian and Ning Meng, and they had indeed interviewed Junnan Group, and the manuscript had been sent in good order for a few days.

Zhao Junqing said next to him, if there is nothing to do, come and play.

Lao Tian didn't say anything, Ning Meng said: "What's so fun about going to the enterprise, it's not going to the mall." ”

The mobile phone was a little loud, and Zhao Junqing whispered to me after hearing it: "Just say that I invited them to play." ”

Ning Meng heard it and said happily: "Listen to the voice, I know who he is!" ”

"Coming soon! I'm going to call Lao Tian! ”

The office building of Junnan Group is located in the new district, a building of more than 40 floors, called Junnan International, Zhao Junqing took everyone to visit this headquarters with high security to the outside world.

Designed by a well-known American design firm, the building is designed with two natural oxygen-producing sky gardens, where flowers and plants are flourishing, strange rocks and waterfalls, small bridges and flowing water, and schools of fish swimming under the transparent floor glass. There are cafes, tea houses, and bookstores in the garden, and standing by the clear blue glass windows, overlooking the city, the mood is extremely comfortable.

Liu Nannan and Ning Meng couldn't help but exclaim.

After finishing the interview while wandering, Zhao Junqing asked Gao Chuan to send all the reporters a carriage fee, and the money was packed in an envelope, which was very thick, and it seemed to be at least 5,000.

When the other reporters left, Gao Chuan sent red envelopes to me and Liu Nannan alone, looking more than others.

Liu Nannan stretched out his hand to block it first: "Is this an interview or a bribe!" ”

Zhao Junqing said: "The company gives a little festival fee, which has nothing to do with the interview. ”

Liu Nannan looked at me, and I shook my head. There are too many red envelopes, which have exceeded the amount of reporters' travel fees.

Zhao Junqing looked at the two of us and said, "Since this is the case, then please have dinner tonight!" Gao Chuan, you arrange it. ”

Dinner is arranged at Junnan Hotel in Nancheng District, which is a high-end hotel of Junnan Group for foreign-related hospitality, specializing in Cantonese cuisine.

In addition to Zhao Junqing and Gao Chuan, there were several other bosses to accompany them, and when they were waiting, everyone gathered in the private living room to drink tea.

Gao Chuan first introduced me and Liu Nannan, and when introducing me, in addition to being a reporter, he also made a point of explaining that I was the nephew of Director Wang of the Municipal Public Security Bureau.

He introduced this, perhaps to make the people who participated in the dinner more important, but I felt a little uncomfortable, the dinner was utilitarian and easy to spoil.

Thinking about it in hindsight, if it weren't for my aunt, I wouldn't have let Zhao Junqing pay so much attention to them. Zixuan is right, businessmen make friends with people who are useful to them.

Sure enough, as soon as Gao Chuan finished speaking, several bosses present stood up and shook hands with me. A boss whispered while taking out his business card: "Go back and greet Director Wang on my behalf, I have a relationship with her, she is a heroine among women!" ”

Zhao Junqing glanced at Gao Chuan, and seemed to feel that the intention of deliberately explaining the background on the occasion was too obvious.

When everyone sat down, Zhao Junqing introduced me and Liu Nannan to two young CEOs, one surnamed Zhang, who is in the steel industry, and the other is surnamed Liu, who is engaged in catering and entertainment, both with assets of over 100 million, Zhao Junqing let me and Liu Nannan have the opportunity to give them some publicity, and after listening to Mr. Zhang and Mr. Liu, they quickly took out their business cards and handed them to the two of us.

After drinking tea for a while, Zhao Junqing asked Gao Chuan: "Why hasn't Mr. Jiang come yet?" Call to urge. ”

Gao Chuan went out to call to urge, and Zhao Junqing said to me and Liu Nannan: "Although this Mr. Jiang is young but very powerful, he easily earns hundreds of millions of dollars every year, and he is a big advertiser of the media. ”

Gao Chuan came in and said that Jiang was going to be late, and he got into a fight with the police on the road.

Zhao Junqing asked what was going on, and Gao Chuan said that Mr. Jiang stopped to buy cigarettes in a small alley, and there was a police car behind him who couldn't get by, so he used a megaphone to shout out of the way. After Mr. Jiang got to the car, he wanted to light a cigarette before leaving, but the police came and pulled him out of the car.

Zhao Junqing frowned: "It must be Jiang Shan's temper that has come up again." ”

Several CEOs began to complain about the "bad deeds" of the police.

Zhao Junqing put down the teacup and pointed at a few of them: "Don't be bitter there, you ask yourself, which is the fuel-efficient lamp, one by one, usually acts as a blessing, and blames the police for being unkind." Don't wait, serve. ”

Zhao Junqing assigned seats to everyone, and Liu Nannan and I sat on either side of him. He wiped his hands with a hot towel and said, "Let's eat some game, the farmhouse food, it's pretty clean." He glanced at Mr. Zhang and said, "You are all engaged in the iron and steel chemical industry, collecting money everywhere, polluting everywhere, and when you save enough money, you emigrate, leaving a dirty environment." ”

Mr. Zhang was a little embarrassed: "In the future, I will open a factory abroad and smoke this gang of Yi people to death." ”

Everyone laughed.

Mr. Liu said: "Immigration, but also forced helpless, the cost of enterprises is high, you look at the state to levy real estate tax, do you think the tax is paid by the homeowner?" If you collect taxes, he will raise the rent, and in the end, it will not be the tenant who pays it? ”

Gao Chuan patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't be funny, I buy several yachts every year, what do you care about the rent?" ”

After the meal, Zhao Junqing looked at his watch and said to me and Liu Nannan: "It's still early, let's go to drink tea and sober up, and Mr. Jiang will come later, and I will introduce you to you." ”

Junnan Hotel has a Three Kingdoms Tea House, which is famous for tasting incense, tasting tea, and listening to the piano. There are ancient dance fencing performances in the tea hall every day, and the young female luthier with a beautiful face plays the guzheng at the desk, and the subtle sound of the water wheel turning, the sound of the piano is far away.

Above the Fuqin girl hangs a huge picture of the Three Kingdoms competing for hegemony, hundreds of heroes of the Three Kingdoms are gathered together, with different expressions, sitting or standing, some people look at each other angrily, some people draw swords and beat drums, the composition is vivid.

It is said that Zhao Junnan spent a lot of money and asked more than a dozen contemporary masters to spend a year to complete the creation.

The waiters in the tea house all wear Hanfu and scarves, and the pavilion is named after the allusions of the Three Kingdoms. The pavilion we entered was called Street Pavilion, originally Gao Chuan wanted to take everyone to Tongque Terrace, Zhao Junqing thought about it and said: "There is no leader, go to Street Pavilion." ”

Gao Chuan later explained that each pavilion of the Three Kingdoms Teahouse was exquisite, and the regular guests who came to do whatever they wanted to do.

For example, if you give gifts to people and do errands, you will enter the Tongque Terrace, and if the guests sit on the Tongque Terrace, the matter will be half done. If the guest enters the thatched house, it means that he has to wait and see, and he must continue to work hard.

For gatherings among friends, most of them choose private rooms such as Taoyuan Tie Yi and Green Plum Boiled Wine. The meaning of the street pavilion, Takakawa did not explain. On the walls of the room are calligraphy and paintings of the Battle of the Street Pavilion and the Tearful Killing of Horses.

There is an inscription underneath the painting: Ma Tan died in a factional dispute.

Liu Nannan also came to the Three Kingdoms Tea House for the first time, she looked at the calligraphy and paintings on the wall one by one, and was a little surprised when she saw this sentence, so she asked Zhao Junqing: "Wasn't Ma Tan killed by Zhuge Liang after losing the street pavilion, why did he die in a factional dispute?" ”

Zhao Junqing took off his coat and said: "This is the traditional saying. ”

Liu Nannan said with a smile: "Lost Street Pavilion, cut off horses, isn't it?" ”

Zhao Junqing looked at that sentence and said: "Zhuge Liang's Shu Han political forces are divided into Jingzhou Group, Dongzhou Group, and Yizhou Group. Ma Tan is very talented, but he is young and has no qualifications, and Zhuge Liang wants him to build prestige through the street pavilion. The loss of the street pavilion is considered to be Ma Tan's first mistake, and Zhuge Liang's status can also protect him, but it is precisely because he is Zhuge Liang's cronies and descendants that Zhuge Liang implemented the rule of law among the three major groups, and the other two political groups stared at it, Ma Tan had to kill, politics harmed him, and the reason for Zhuge Liang's tears was that he was suffering. ”

This interpretation is said to be good, and even Liu Nannan, who has always been picky, also expressed his appreciation. Zhao Junqing sighed and said: "In fact, many things can't just look at the surface, the truth is easy to hide. ”

He picked up the teacup and blew hot air and said: "There are some rumors in the outside world that Junnan Group is involved in crime, but who knows that my eldest brother and I started selling fruits and achieved it step by step. We just wanted the business to develop well, and we didn't want to get involved in officialdom, and as a result, the mine was robbed and the hotel was set on fire. ”

The mine Zhao Junqing said refers to the plain mine under Junnan Group, which is now owned by Ocean Group. And the arson of the hotel clearly refers to the Dongzheng fire, which alludes to the arson rumors in the society.

When Zhao Junqing said this, he looked at me intentionally or unintentionally, and his eyes were meaningful.

At this moment, Mr. Jiang hurried over, this is a white fat man about thirty years old, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, his head is shining, and the top of his head is slightly bald.

Gao Chuan introduced me and Liu Nannan, and Mr. Jiang handed over the business card, repeating in his mouth: "Long admiration, long admiration." ”

When he handed over the business card, Zhao Junqing said that you will cooperate more in the future.

Mr. Jiang said: "Certainly, definitely." ”

He asked for my and Liu Nannan's mobile phone numbers, Liu Nannan took his mobile phone and dialed it on his mobile phone, and Mr. Jiang saved it and asked for my phone again.
