Section 854 Capital Dinner
The dinner was held in a suburban manor under the Beijing branch of the energy group, which was specially built by the group to entertain some valuable guests.
Invest more than 10 billion yuan to build a luxury reception house, it is estimated that such a thing can be done by the energy group, it is not open to the public, no matter where you are a high-ranking official or a rich man, here only entertain guests of the energy group, if you are not, even if you are the president of which country or where you are rich, you can only watch from the outside.
And there are very few doors here, basically there is a large-scale banquet every month, and it would be good to have one such a year as Xiang Li Cong's visit.
Covering an area of 4,000 acres, the interior of the manor is all using battery cars, swimming pools, private lakes, small yachts, golf courses, horse farms, movie screening rooms and a series of entertainment facilities, the most characteristic thing here is that the waiters here are all master's students, of course, it is not Li Congxian, but the guests here are generally some people with a relatively high level of culture, how can they be pulled from everywhere in the society.
Ordinary people can only look at this five-meter-high behemoth with a wall from a distance, and it is basically unclear what is inside, but they know that the parking lot in front of the door is lined up with elongated luxury cars alone, and taxis have to turn around five hundred meters here, and the patrol team with wolf dogs is in a team, and everywhere it is shown that this is completely different from other Beijing suburban clubs.
Today's reception banquet is mainly for Li Cong to reward the senior officials of various ministries of the central government, the highest is a ministerial-level official, and the lowest is also a department-level official of the Beijing Municipal Government; because of the Liu family, the high-ranking officials of the Beijing Military Region are absolutely indispensable, although these people do not say so in their mouths, they must also know in their hearts that it is an honor to be able to enter Li Cong's invitation list.
Take the invitation as an example, it is not a simple piece of paper, the group's public relations department made this invitation with 150 grams of yellow?
Li Cong took Liu Yan to change his clothes and arrived at exactly four o'clock in the afternoon, and the guests could not arrive until six o'clock, as the host, Li Cong naturally wanted to come to see some preparations, in fact, there was nothing for Li Cong to check, his early arrival was just a courtesy, and it could also let the guests see that they were carefully prepared.
"Why has the name been changed here?" Li Cong looked at the "Li Yuan" on the door and said, isn't this name only available to the Li family house in Jinan.
"It's me who made the change, I want to improve the specifications here, but the equipment inside has basically reached the limit and can only be studied on this door, I know you have a lot of problems, don't you see the word Beijing in front of Li Yuan, everyone will distinguish in the future, I know that our Li Garden is for rest, and Beijing's Li Garden is used for banquets. Liu Yan replied cautiously, for fear that Li Cong would not be satisfied because of this.
Li Cong smiled helplessly, his daughter-in-law will give herself this, when a beautiful woman is tired of explaining to you, you have a great reason to listen to her first, otherwise you will be too puzzled by the amorous feelings.
"Okay, that's it, but you can't let go of your mistakes, after dinner, I'll study how to punish you in the evening. Li Cong said in Liu Yan's ear, the appearance of the big bad wolf is estimated to scare the real wolf away, and Liu Yan has a big red face.
The husband and wife talked and laughed and walked towards the gate, in fact, Li Cong can drive the car in, although the parking lot inside is not very big, but as the owner's family still has its own seat, the reason why the parking lot is placed outside the garden, is also to give the reporters outside a little chance, they can't shoot people, long-distance shooting cars is still possible.
"Boss, ma'am. The housekeeper who received Liu Yan's news stood on both sides of the door with more than a dozen waiters, the man stood on the right, the woman stood on the left, and the housekeeper stood in the middle.
"Yes, I don't know what this butler is called?" Li Cong glanced at it, and it was full of busy workers, setting up the scene, transporting things, and it seemed that it was almost over.
"Boss, contemptible Cui Shijing, you can just call me Xiao Cui. Steward Cui smiled.
"Xiao Cui, I see that you are much older than me, I will call you Lao Cui, how is the preparation in this house, the guests are coming in a while, I will be rewarded for doing well, but if it is not good, don't blame me for not giving you face as the boss." "For this kind of person, Li Cong still knows how to manage it, that is, he is both endeavour, and calling Lao Cui is to give you face, but if you can't do your own thing, don't blame us.
"Boss, you see, it's basically finished, the restaurant is all arranged, and the situation here can be completed within ten minutes, everything is in accordance with the requirements of the lady, the carpet and tableware have to be replaced, so we have delayed a little time, but it will definitely not delay the boss and your banquet." Steward Cui replied respectfully, it can be seen that the boss is a good talker, but he can't go too far, the most important thing as a housekeeper is to find his own position, and he can't really regard himself as a master just because the master said two good words.
Let's take those things in the house as an example, taking one of them casually is enough for you to live a lifetime, but can you take it yourself? Not to mention that there are so many eyes watching, it is the camera everywhere in the room, as long as you dare to stretch out your hand, waiting for yourself to be what it is estimated that a fool can also think that his boss is not a good man and a woman.
Li Cong listened to him and stepped on the carpet, this square meter of hundreds of dollars of Egyptian carpet is different from those imitations in China, after entering the hall, the dragon totem on the wall really makes Li Cong feel that this is the same as the Dragon Palace, the roof in the middle is the same as the totem of the Li family in Jinan, it is a five-clawed golden dragon made of two tons of gold, Li Cong doesn't know why, every time he sees the king of this legendary dragon, he will always be so comfortable.
In fact, Li Cong studied this thing for a while when he was making this thing, and the Chinese emperor called himself the "True Dragon Son of Heaven", the embodiment of the "True Dragon" of God. It was stipulated that only the emperor's belongings and clothes could be painted with the image of a "five-clawed golden dragon", and other places that needed to use the dragon shape were to use the "four-clawed dragon" (i.e., "python") to distinguish it. The implication is that "only the emperor is the true dragon", and the other "four-clawed dragons" are "pythons" instead of "dragons".
We don't know if I'm the emperor or not, but now I don't have so many rules in the Qing Dynasty before, I look good at making this myself, and I guess no one said anything, although there are so many dragons in this room, but the one in the middle of the finger is a five-clawed golden dragon, and the others are ordinary four-clawed dragons.
Under the golden dragon is the largest table in the entire banquet hall, which can seat forty people, followed by thirty tables, twenty tables and twelve tables at the very edge of the surrounding area, the whole hall can accommodate hundreds of people at the same time, but since Beijing Li Yuan began to use it, it has not been filled here until now, and today should be the first time.
"How are the cooks here? These officials are the ones who have the best knowledge of food, so don't embarrass me at night. Li Cong said as he looked at the menu.
"Boss, don't worry about this, our four Chinese chefs used to cook for the emperor in the old generation, and the worst one came out of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and the Western-style pastry chefs are all masters who have not been out of the mountains in Europe for several years, or our public relations department has a way to come, all the ingredients today only arrived yesterday, and the masters are very satisfied, and they all say that the dishes they have made for a lifetime are not as comfortable as they are made here. Lao Cui said with a smile, but he didn't tell a lie, these masters really said that.
"That's good, go and sue them, don't talk about the previous ones, what I want is in the future, go and sue the people below to give me a careful look tonight, as long as I don't go on a business trip today, Ming'er will give me a big red envelope on a business trip. "If anyone knew what those people in Li Cong's kitchen were, they would definitely blame Li Cong for not caring for talents so much, but Li Cong said that, and they didn't dare to have other ideas.
Grand Hyatt Hotel is now the world's largest hotel chain, mastering more than 30% of the world's high-end hotels, and the number is still increasing, the hotel industry is a very closely related thing, if you offend the owner of the Grand Hyatt Hotel, then you will not be welcomed in any hotel, these chefs may dare to put their own shelves with others, take their own personality, but in the final analysis, they also need to eat, but also to get a salary, if offended Li Cong, it is estimated that no hotel in the world dares to invite them, is it to rely on their own craftsmanship to set up roadside stalls?
When Li Cong wanted to educate this guy a few words, the first guest had arrived, and the identity of the first guest was also very eye-catching, he was Qiang Min, the director of the Reform Committee, Li Cong hurriedly threw down some trivial things in the kitchen and took Liu Yan to the door to wait for Qiang Min's arrival.
When I reported to Li Cong, the car had already turned in, and it would take about five minutes to get to the gate of the garden.
The reform commission is generally not a unit in other countries, but in China this unit is not an ordinary department, and his power is so great that I believe that any Chinese will know it, and even Li Cong's energy group needs to pay attention to him.
However, a few years ago, in order to strengthen the role of the Reform Commission, the government forcibly promoted the director of the Reform Commission to the vice national level, and the director and vice premier enjoyed the same treatment, and the deputy director enjoyed the same treatment at the ministerial level, which was similar to that of the Central Organization Department.
Qiang Min is a 60-year-old thin old man, if it weren't for his entourage and the convoy, he would have thrown him on everyone, no different from an ordinary old man, but Li Cong knew that it was this old man who forced how many central enterprises in the country did not compete with the people for profit, and wanted to raise prices on a large scale?
"Director Qiang is really giving face, I just came to you, thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to come to me, please come in." Although Li Cong and Qiangmin have only met once, that time was when the People's Congress was held, and the two of them were introduced to each other on the road, but at that time Qiangmin was still the deputy director of the Reform Commission, but he didn't expect it to be corrected in less than two years.
"Hehe, Mr. Li's face has to be given to everyone in the capital, and I'll come over first when I'm closer to here. From the bottom of his heart, he is an old man who does not want to have any contact with these big capitalists, and even how can he cooperate with the bourgeoisie if he still has in his head? Isn't this a socialist country? But with the development of the world, he has also learned to be flexible, that is, he has strictly focused on those large enterprises, especially private monopolies and foreign enterprises, and in recent years the central enterprises have also become the object of his observation.
Li Cong really didn't have a few words to say to this old guy, and after a while, he was a little too big, and it was nothing more than not letting himself evade taxes or something, and the taxes we pay to the state a year are more than 200 billion yuan, and the top five of the top 500 enterprises in China are just like us, are we the ones who evade taxes? If we weren't happy today, we would have to talk to this old man.
Liu Yan saw early in the morning that Li Cong was not suitable for reception work, and after receiving the next visitor, he let Li Cong go aside to rest, what attitude should the officials have, or what attitude should be there for Chinese officials, Li Cong probably forgot nothing left, in his impression, whether it is the president of the United States or the president of Russia, they are all their guests.
It's a pity that this is China, not the United States and Russia, not the southern region of Africa under Li Cong's control, this is the republic, and there is its own set of rules of conduct here, if there are only one or two of them, Li Cong can choose to offend them, but if they are in batches, then it is obviously not a wise thing to offend them, this Liu Yan understands this better than Li Cong, this is also related to the fact that she was born in a family of eunuchs, and it is better to take over this job by herself if Li never made trouble.
It's better for someone to help him, Li Cong was going to stand at the door for a while, but he didn't expect Liu Yan to say that he was standing there like an uncle, so it was better not to be there.
Grimacing at the eight-sided daughter-in-law, Li Cong got into a battery car at random and went to the back to play two shots, although our skills are not very good, but our enthusiasm is very high.
When Li Cong arrived at the golf course, there was no one there, although the entertainment facilities here are very complete, but the guests who came were all people with status, not here to play, their main goal was Li Cong's person, not Li Cong's things here.
Seeing Li Cong disappear from his sight in a battery car, Liu Yan shook her head helplessly, her husband was not very enthusiastic about Beijing's circle before, and now people are coming to slap him, as long as he can lower his stature a little, I am afraid that he can quickly integrate into it, now it is good, what is directly bypassing these ministers and ministers, and going directly to the affairs of the State Council of Zhongnanhai, I look down on these people even more, who knows that we have an old saying in China that the king of Hades is better than a little ghost.
By six o'clock, the parking lot in front of Li Yuan in Beijing was no longer enough, and the large parking lot that could put four hundred cars was now completely insufficient, Liu Yan shook his head a little helplessly, and only released less than one hundred and fifty invitations in total, and nearly five hundred people came, although there was still a screening inside, but I didn't expect these people to come with their own cars.
This dinner is divided into two parts, one part is in the hall where Li Conggang is staying, where only the person who invited the invitation is entertained, and the rest of the people have to stay in the front yard to eat, to put it bluntly, the hierarchy must be clear, otherwise the five hundred people will go in, it will be lively, and the Li family's banquet will be too worthless.
"You kid just have a way, such a good thing is really hard to find, you can get it. Bai Chen tasted the Lafite of the last century in his hand, and closed his eyes and felt it slowly.
Li Cong looked at him like that and couldn't wait to go over and give him a kick, this red wine is so delicious? Why are we drinking these hundreds of thousands of bottles of things no different from those that cost dozens of dollars, aren't we nobles? This guy is?
"Look at the way you look, you are a young master in a big family in the old society, where is there a little bit of a servant of the people, you are still leading the largest political group, I think we go directly to *** to forget it, I think it is still a bit reliable, do you think there are *** party leaders in Taiwan, how many people drink this?" Li Cong teased.
", they're what they look like, secretly more extravagant than me. Bai Chen said unconvinced, but he was also telling the truth, which of those politicians was not one on the surface, but one in secret.
