"This Lou Xiao'e can really put on a score! It's been half an hour, and you haven't come yet, on purpose, right? ”

After yawning again, Cao Zhiqiang rubbed his eyes, took another sip of strong tea, and then picked up the newspaper again and read it, and continued to wait patiently for Lou Xiao'e's arrival.

Well, it's already the next day.

Early this morning, Cao Zhiqiang came to Lou Xiao'e's hotel ten minutes early, and contacted Lou Xiao'e through the front desk phone and agreed to meet in the hotel's restaurant.

Originally, Cao Zhiqiang thought that he would be able to see Lou Xiao'e soon, but after waiting for more than half an hour, the other party had not come down.

Although Cao Zhiqiang also knows that Lou Xiao'e, as a middle-aged and elderly woman from Hong Kong, it is estimated that she does need a little time after getting up early, such as washing, putting on makeup, or something.

But the problem is that Lou Xiao'e already knew that Cao Zhiqiang was coming to see her today, and she didn't prepare in advance, which was indeed a bit lazy.

At least, this shows that Lou Xiao'e does not value Cao Zhiqiang.

It would be strange if Cao Zhiqiang was not angry, but he also set the alarm clock and prepared an hour in advance, but he didn't want to miss the appointment.

"Sure enough, Lou Xiao'e is not a good woman, I hate her!" Cao Zhiqiang, who forced himself to re-read the newspaper to pass the time, muttered to himself.

Speaking of which, when he first crossed over, Qin Huairu ranked first among the courtyard women that Cao Zhiqiang hated, which was influenced by film and television dramas and fanfiction in his previous life.

But as time went by, as Cao Zhiqiang learned more and more things, he hated Qin Huairu less and less.

Yes, there are few good people in the courtyard, but if you think about it carefully, this is not because everyone is inherently bad, but because of the environment.

Because it is difficult for really good people to survive in the courtyard.

Qin Huairu is indeed not a good person, she is indeed a blood-sucking stupid pillar, and she may even have had an unclean black history before, but her actions are all for her own children, which is still commendable.

Moreover, Qin Huairu has been kind to children and the elderly for decades, and has never taken the initiative to harm others, so you can say that she is selfish, but you can't say that she is bad.

Even if Qin Huairu once ruined He Yuzhu's good relationship with the elementary school female teacher, in fact, the root is not Qin Huairu, but the elementary school female teacher Ran Qiuye.

Because from beginning to end, that Ran Qiuye never really fell in love with He Yuzhu, and she was willing to reconcile with He Yuzhu later, but it was just a helpless choice in the special era, or to use more.

If that Ran Qiuye really marries He Yuzhu, he will have to make trouble sooner or later in the future, after all, the two of them are not all the way.

How can a proud young female teacher and a big old cook really get together.

So no matter why, to tell the truth, it is really suitable to live with He Yuzhu, at least in the courtyard, there is really only Qin Huairu.

On the contrary, it is Lou Xiao'e, who looks like a white lotus, but in fact, she is much worse than Qin Huairu in her bones.

Cao Zhiqiang hadn't discovered these before, but after coming into contact with Lou Xiao'e a few times, coupled with hearsay and memories of his past life, Cao Zhiqiang quickly sketched out Lou Xiao'e's true image.

To put it bluntly, Lou Xiao'e is a really proud rich girl, she always thinks that what she thinks is everything, and when it comes to selfishness, she is much more powerful than Qin Huairu in her bones.

If Lou Xiao'e's first husband was Xu Damao, this is not a family, not a family.

How can a woman who can get involved with Xu Damao be good.

Look at the woman who has had a relationship with Xu Damao, whether it is Qin Jingru or that Yu Haitang, there is no good person, so why is Lou Xiao'e, who was the first to follow Xu Damao, a good person?

Of course, it is really sloppy to purely divide the good guys and the bad guys, but just looking at the temperament, Cao Zhiqiang doesn't like Lou Xiao'e.

Before, Cao Zhiqiang had a request for Lou Xiao'e, and he didn't know much, so he deliberately ignored Lou Xiao'e's badness.

But now Cao Zhiqiang has nothing to ask for Lou Xiao'e, the so-called desirelessness is rigid, and he has obtained more information, so he dislikes Lou Xiao'e more and more.

However, it's still the same sentence, although Cao Zhiqiang doesn't like Lou Xiao'e, but from the perspective of interests, Cao Zhiqiang thinks it's better to mix it up a little, in case he can get benefits.

In other words, Cao Zhiqiang can dislike Lou Xiao'e, but it doesn't mean that he doesn't like her money and doorway.

Anyway, in Cao Zhiqiang's opinion, even if he taught Lou Xiao'e the soft grinding method, Lou Xiao'e would not be able to win against Qin Huairu, after all, this is proven by history.

Because in Cao Zhiqiang's previous life, Lou Xiao'e later woke up by herself, and came back to find Silly Zhu, opened a restaurant for him, and then took the opportunity to grind hard bubbles in various ways, wanting to use the tug-of-war mode to slowly pry He Yuzhu over.

It's a pity that Lou Xiao'e's innate strength, coupled with Lou Xiao'e's constant desire to transform He Yuzhu, touched He Yuzhu's reverse scales, and finally couldn't succeed.

Lou Xiao'e's pride determines that it is impossible for her to change herself, and it is impossible not to transform He Yuzhu.

As long as Lou Xiao'e can't change her proud temperament and can't change her idea of wanting to make He Yuzhu what she wants, it will be a matter of time before she and He Yuzhu part.

In other words, Lou Xiao'e's so-called love for Silly Zhu is just imagined in her own heart, and what she wants is the He Yuzhu she imagined, not the real He Yuzhu.

To put it bluntly, Lou Xiao'e is also a young woman, and she has the common problem of young women, that is, what she can't get is always in turmoil.

On the contrary, He Yuzhu is actually a very pragmatic man, what he likes is down-to-earth and down-to-earth, so he is destined to not be able to live with the ungrounded Lou Xiao'e for a long time.

He Yuzhu's love for Lou Xiao'e is just an illusion, or a longing, the person he really loves in his heart is Qin Huairu.

It's just that He Yuzhu has always refused to admit it, and he has always been confused, and he can't tell the difference.

He Yuzhu really recognized himself, it had to be something that Lou Xiao'e couldn't transform him, and he began to reflect and rebound.

Since this is the case, then Cao Zhiqiang is not worried about telling Lou Xiao'e about the plan in advance.

It is also a good thing for Lou Xiao'e to come to the capital to invest in advance and put her mind on He Yuzhu in advance.

That is to say, this is just a deal, and he can use it to ask Lou Xiao'e for something he has long wanted, such as her connections in Hong Kong.

Cao Zhiqiang had long thought that if he wanted to make better money and help the country, the best way was to use Hong Kong as a bridgehead.

As for Japan, it is at most a channel to make money, not an ideal place for yourself.

In other words, if Cao Zhiqiang still wants to continue to develop in the entertainment industry, the best place is not the mainland, nor Japan, but Xiangjiang.

Only with the help of Xiangjiang's special status and the characteristics of the times at this time, can he get twice the result with half the effort and ride the wind.

And if you want to enter the Xiangjiang market smoothly without being suspected, Lou Xiao'e's family is undoubtedly the best early collaborator.

At least, if Lou Xiao'e's family helps, his development in Xiangjiang will not be blackened.

For this reason, he has to show the attitude of standing on Lou Xiao'e's side, so as to make Lou Xiao'e happy.

As long as Lou Xiao'e is happy, everything else will not be a problem.

Of course, in fact, it doesn't depend on Lou Xiao'e, Cao Zhiqiang also has the ability to go to Xiangjiang, but then it will be a lot more troublesome.

can easily go to Xiangjiang, who is willing to use troublesome methods.

Just when Cao Zhiqiang was looking at the newspaper, but he was actually thinking nonsense, he suddenly heard Lou Xiao'e's voice: "I'm sorry, Cao Zhiqiang, I delayed for a while, didn't I make you wait for a long time?" ”

As soon as Cao Zhiqiang heard this voice, he immediately put down the newspaper and stood up, and smiled at Lou Xiao'e, who was dressed in grace and luxury: "No, I just came, please take a seat." ”

Lou Xiao'e smiled and nodded to Cao Zhiqiang, and then sat down gently.

After Cao Zhiqiang also sat down, Lou Xiao'e explained to Cao Zhiqiang with a smile: "I'm sorry, I answered a phone call before, and the call was from Hong Kong, and it took a bit of a long time and delayed some time." ”

Cao Zhiqiang could only smile again: "It's nothing, it's important, don't get in the way." ”

Lou Xiao'e nodded at Cao Zhiqiang, then asked the waiter for a cup of coffee, and let the waiter leave.

Waiting for the waiter to walk away, Lou Xiao'e looked at Cao Zhiqiang and said, "What is the method you said?" ”

Cao Zhiqiang smiled: "Aunt Lou, don't be in such a hurry." ”

Lou Xiao'e narrowed her eyes: "I've been waiting for sixteen years, do you think I'm in a hurry?" ”

After a pause, Lou Xiao'e said solemnly: "I promise you, as long as you can help me get back together with Silly Zhu, I will definitely not treat you badly." ”

Cao Zhiqiang smiled slightly: "Okay, Mingren doesn't say secret words, I do have a way to match you and Uncle He, but I can't pack a ticket, so that Uncle He must be with you."

After all, opportunities are opportunities, but whether the two of them can finally be together depends on the creation of the two of them, right? ”

Lou Xiao'e smiled: "I know this, you can talk about your method first." ”

Cao Zhiqiang nodded: "Okay, since Aunt Lou said so, I won't go around the bend." ”

After a slight pause, Cao Zhiqiang said with a straight face: "Aunt Lou, you must know that I opened a restaurant called Food for the Sky, and let Uncle He join in a hundred percent of the dry shares, right?" ”

Lou Xiao'e smiled and nodded: "Yes, I know, he told me." ”

Cao Zhiqiang smiled: "Since you know, it will be convenient."

In this way, I can sell 30% of the shares to you, and then the specific operation will be handed over to your people to be responsible, and the general manager is also you, and I will only be a big shopkeeper.

In this way, you can justifiably come to work for the day, and you can see Uncle He every day.

Our share trading can be carried out secretly, and no one knows that you have a stake in my hotel, and then as long as you don't say it, Uncle He doesn't say it, Aunt Qin won't know that the general manager has also secretly changed.

When the time comes, you work in a restaurant with Uncle He every day, and you are still his boss, coming and going, if you can't take Uncle He down, it will be too unpleasant. ”

Lou Xiao'e nodded thoughtfully: "This is indeed a good way." ”

Speaking of this, Lou Xiao'e raised her eyes and looked at Cao Zhiqiang: "However, it is too little to give me only 30% of the shares, so let's sell me all your shares, and this store is mine, how about it?" ”

Cao Zhiqiang, who had expected it, was deliberately surprised, and then shook his head with a wry smile: "Aunt Lou, your appetite is too big, you actually want all the shares in my hand?" This can't be done, it can't be done! ”

"What's not to do." Lou Xiao'e smiled, "Isn't it just to make money when you open a restaurant, so let's do it, how much money did you open before, I will give you double, it's all over." ”

Cao Zhiqiang laughed: "Aunt Lou, you are underestimating me, my food is the sky, the location is good, the decoration is good, now the source of customers is stable, the signboard has also been played, the business is very good, it is not an exaggeration to say that the day is making money."

If you want to sell a good restaurant with such a mature and stable price, you want to buy it at twice the price you originally had, which is almost the same as grabbing it. ”

Lou Xiao'e frowned: "Then how much do you want?" Anyway, let me state first, either I don't do it, or if I do, I have to be the controlling party. ”

Cao Zhiqiang said: "The controlling party, no problem! Then how about I sell you fifty-one percent of the shares, and you give me five hundred and fifty-one? But first, I want dollars! ”

Lou Xiao'e squinted: "Five hundred and ten thousand dollars? Only 51 percent of the shares? You lion open your mouth. Do you know how much RMB 510,000 is worth now? ”

Cao Zhiqiang smiled: "Of course I know, if I don't know, I don't dare to say this number."

Of course, Aunt Lou, you are a real businessman, and your vision will naturally not be bad.

So whether my food is good or not, whether it is worth the price or not, there is no basis for my words.

In this way, you can find a professional to check the accounts and see how the daily flow of my hotel is.

Then, in addition to the healthy daily running water, my hotel is now well-known in the capital, and it is also on the travel list of China Travel Service.

That is to say, Shiweitian is now a star hotel, and foreigners and overseas Chinese who come to Beijing for tourism, as long as they come through the unit of China Travel Service, will almost be recommended to go to Shiweitian to try it.

In addition to these, many middle-level leaders in Beijing, including the municipal government, the district government, and some leaders of state-owned enterprises, like to go to eat for dinner, which is a great source of high-quality customers.

Also, I have asked people to distribute flyers in Tsinghua University and Peking University and other universities before, and I have also given teachers from these schools a lot of preferential places, as long as the teachers of famous universities go to eat, they will be discounted by 20%, which is equivalent to binding some cultural people.

Therefore, my food is not just a restaurant, but also a vanity fair, and you must know the value of this.

With all this, this food for the sky can't be seen as an ordinary restaurant, let alone there is a person you care about the most.

With all this, do you still think that buying 51% of my shares for 510,000 US dollars is a lion's mouth? ”

Lou Xiao'e lowered her head and thought about it, then raised her head and said, "This is all what you said, I don't know what the real situation is." ”

Cao Zhiqiang smiled: "That's a good point, so you can stay for the time being and go to that food for a day to investigate more." During this period, I will ask people to fully cooperate with you, you can watch whatever you want, ask whatever you want, even if it is an audit.

Anyway, my hotel is there, the daily flow of water, passenger flow, are visible and touchable, and there is a VIP list in it, which are all high-ranking officials and teachers who can be discounted consumption, and the consumption of these people is also recorded clearly, you can also see this account.

In addition, Uncle He is also the head chef and teacher there, and you can see Uncle He every day when you inspect there.

How, interested? ”

Lou Xiao'e narrowed her eyes: "Are you really willing to let me check the accounts?" Are you really willing to let me see anything? ”

"Of course." Cao Zhiqiang said, "I am very sincere, I believe that as long as you have seen the whole picture of food for the sky and know the true value of food for the sky, you will definitely be tempted, and you will definitely not think that I am a lion with a big mouth." ”

After a short pause, Cao Zhiqiang said: "That's it, I'm going to Japan in the near future to talk to someone about a business, I'm afraid I can't accompany you."

If you are interested, I will arrange for you to eat for the sky now, and first give you a temporary position of deputy general manager, you can use that capacity to stay in the food for a few days, and see for yourself the reality of the food for the sky.

And I'll notify the person in charge there, my sister, so that you can see all the accounts of Shiweitian.

When I get back from Japan, we'll talk about the deal officially, what do you think? ”

As soon as she heard this, Lou Xiao'e raised her eyebrows: "Oh? Are you going to Japan to discuss business? What business? You don't have to say that food is the sky, and Japanese people invest. ”

Cao Zhiqiang said with a smile: "Of course not, I went to Japan to discuss a record company's cooperation business, which has nothing to do with this restaurant." ”

Lou Xiao'e was stunned: "You want to talk to the Japanese about the business of record company cooperation?" What company? ”

Cao Zhiqiang said: "Japan's Warner Pioneer Records, I don't know if you have heard of it. ”

"Warner Vanguard?" Lou Xiao'e was stunned again, "That's a big company, of course I've heard of it, you, do you have cooperation with that company?" ”

"It's just that there is an intention to cooperate." Cao Zhiqiang said, "It's not a formal cooperation." ”

After a short pause, Cao Zhiqiang said simply: "I went to the daily report once before and met with the president of Warner Pioneer, and he has agreed to cooperate with my Huaxia Impression Company in China to communicate with each other.

To put it simply, in the future, we can release their artists' songs through Huaxia Audio, and Warner Pioneer can also release the songs of our company's artists in Japan, and the two sides are a channel cooperation.

At least for now, Warner Pioneer has signed with me to release my solo single in Japan, which can be regarded as a preliminary collaboration.

I went this time to talk to Warner Pioneer about more in-depth things, and once the negotiations are completed, further cooperation can be launched.

Of course, this requires the cooperation of the relevant departments, but you can rest assured that I have obtained the consent of the relevant departments.

As long as it's not a bad Japanese artist, if it's not a big problem, there's nothing wrong here.

After all, what we are paying attention to now is the friendship between China and Japan. ”

Hearing this, Lou Xiao'e frowned: "What you said is true?" Not lying to me? ”

"What are you lying to?" Cao Zhiqiang shrugged, "What's in it for me?" Or do you think I'm the kind of person who likes to brag? ”

Lou Xiao'e looked at Cao Zhiqiang carefully, with a suspicious expression: "No, I just think that you jumped a little high this time, originally to talk about the hotel, but you suddenly jumped to the Japanese record company." ”

Cao Zhiqiang smiled: "I am a person who blooms in all directions, and food is only the most insignificant project among my many industries. ”

Lou Xiao'e frowned, and then nodded: "That's true, if what you said is true, then you really can't look down on this food." ”

Speaking of this, Lou Xiao'e smiled slightly: "Okay, since you say so, then I will stay for a few more days, go to your food for a good investigation, and when you come back, we will talk in detail, but you have to go to Japan for a few days." ”

Cao Zhiqiang said: "Not necessarily, at least two weeks, normally at least one month." ”

"A month." Lou Xiao'e frowned and said, "It's a bit long. ”

"Not long." Cao Zhiqiang said with a smile, "If you want to understand that food is the sky, you have to investigate it for a month, otherwise, you can't see a lot of hidden values." After all, there are some things that are useless just by looking at the ledger. ”

"That's right." Lou Xiao'e nodded, "Then that's it, I'll wait for you to come back, and we'll talk about it in detail when we come back." ”

Cao Zhiqiang smiled: "Then it's a word, and I'll arrange it for you." ”
