Ankang was invited by Zhou Mingfeng to participate in a so-called "Lujiazui Angel" activity.

Since it is an angel in Lujiazui, the location of the event is not Lujiazui, but a two- or three-hour drive from Lujiazui, Shanghai. After arriving at the location, Ankang learned that it was Yangcheng Lake in Suzhou.

This Yangcheng Lake Ankang is the first time to come back, but the name of Yangcheng Lake is like thunder. This lake that looks ordinary in the water towns of the south of the Yangtze River is famous all over the world because of a famous thing, which is the hairy crab.

The venue of the event is not on the shore of Yangcheng Lake, but in the middle of the lake. After getting out of the car, An Kang and Zhou Mingfeng took a speedboat to an island in the middle of the lake. This island is very pristine, which reminds Ankang of Tao Yuanming's "The Story of the Peach Blossom Spring". It's just that "the grass is delicious, and the fallen flowers are colorful" is true, but "the yellow hair hangs down, and you are happy" is not true. What kind of activity is an Angel in Lujiazui? What is Lujiazui Angel? An Kang asked Zhou Mingfeng on the way here. Zhou Mingfeng said very mysteriously, you will know when you get to that place.

As soon as An Kang entered the manor on the island, he ran into an unexpected person. A very elegantly dressed woman.

This person has vaguely met him once or twice, and of course he has the most impressive one. That time the two were in a hotel room on the Bund. The woman approached Ankang's face with an extremely charming look and spit out a smoke ring, and Ankang's hands and feet were tied at that time. At that time, she was not so elegant, and some were only charming.

This woman seems to be very familiar with Zhou Mingfeng. When she saw others, she just politely stretched out her hand and touched the other party's fingers, but when she saw Zhou Mingfeng, she hugged him intimately.

When she saw the friend brought by Zhou Mingfeng, she was stunned for a moment, obviously she had an impression of Ankang's face, but she just needed to spend some time searching it from her memory. Soon she remembered, smiled at An Kang, and said, "It turned out to be you." ”

Ankang also smiled in return.

Zhou Mingfeng asked strangely, "You two know each other?" ”

"Acquaintance." The woman raised her eyebrows and nodded.

Sitting at a Western-style long table in a Chinese-style garden, Zhou Mingfeng asked An Kang: "Since you know her, why do you still ask me what is a Lujiazui angel?" An Kang shook his head blankly and said, "Is she an angel?" ”

Zhou Mingfeng seemed to have heard a very ridiculous thing. When he finished laughing, he said, "She's not an angel, is she a demon?" "After half of the guests were seated, the owner of the estate came.

Ankang thought that the owner here was probably like the owner of the farmhouse, reflecting an infinite degree of groundedness. However, he didn't expect it to be a man with very elegant manners and a very elegant dress. This man of a certain age speaks very imposingly and has a great sense of humor.

While waiting for the guests, he told everyone a lot of interesting stories about the industry, including new things that have happened recently, as well as anecdotes that were unknown in the past. From his casual description, An Kang can naturally conclude that he must have a different experience and have a different resource. The so-called Lujiazui Angel is an activity organized by this person. And this event is an intimate gathering.

Although it was a party, it didn't have an obvious theme. The people who come are all kinds of people. Therefore, the owner of the manor used the name of Lujiazui Angel, which made the hearer infamous, and the image spokesperson of this event was the woman An Kang and Zhou Mingfeng had just met.

Of course, not every event will be at Yangcheng Lake. Originally, the event was held in a clubhouse in Lujiazui. But the owner of the long-term activity said that it was better to stay in the jungle of Lujiazui all day long, so it was better to go out to enjoy the great rivers and mountains and get close to nature. As a result, the venue of the event was often changed, including Moganshan in Hangzhou, Xiangxuehai in Wuxi, and Dongshan in Suzhou.

This time I came to Yangcheng Lake, of course, with hairy crabs as the theme. But this so-called solution is just similar to the flow of Qushui to Lanting, just a medicine introduction. The real meal is the crab tasting.

The discussion began with the so-called correct way to eat hairy crabs. The owner of the manor said that the meat of this hairy crab is tender and beautiful, and it is not suitable for eating directly without putting any condiments. Taste it carefully, and you will feel that the meat is slightly sweet, and it has a unique taste.

Ankang tried to eat a crab leg, but he couldn't grasp the unique taste at all. I had to mix the ginger shreds and vinegar again.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Ankang still didn't grasp the essence of this activity. Because all the discussions during the banquet were open-ended. There is no such thing as a host or a so-called important guest at this event. Everyone spoke freely, said what they wanted, and said how they wanted. The only requirement is that what is said is limited to this occasion, and does not need to be extended, over-interpreted, and not disseminated. After speaking, the two shots were scattered, and the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves.

This format is similar to a class reunion. Although the theme of the alumni reunion is to review the alumni love of the year, in fact, more than 90% of the content has nothing to do with the alumni relationship. It's nothing more than a reunion on the grounds of a class reunion.

The owner of the manor provided accommodation for the guests and warmly invited them to stay on the island for an extra night, but Zhou Mingfeng and An Kang returned the same day.

On the return car, An Kang asked Zhou Mingfeng with his questions: "This activity is interesting but interesting, but the topic changed too quickly, and I felt that I couldn't keep up." ”

Zhou Mingfeng said: "In the early years, this event actually had a clear theme. It is the owner of this manor who wants to support a few newcomers and want to build them into a brand in the financial circle of Lujiazui. But you know that the financial world is changing so fast. And many of those who initially participated in the event slowly withdrew from the circle. So it turned into a hodgepodge. The original theme has long since changed. ”

"And what's the theme of today's event?"

"See the subtle knowledge. Haven't you heard a lot of people have some information about the macroeconomic situation, about companies in the micro industry? ”

Ankang shook his head, he really didn't hear it.

Zhou Mingfeng said: "To do our business, we must have a high degree of sensitivity and the ability to analyze and summarize information. They didn't explicitly say that I would start analysing the macroeconomic trend for you now. But the jokes they tell are actually sharing their economic predictions for this year and next. ”

"I see." An Kang recalled the words discussed during the banquet, which seemed to be plausible.

"It's just talking. It doesn't really matter if you understand it or not, the important thing is that you can get acquainted with each other at such an event. You see, a lot of people have a strong desire to express and express. So it's really not many people like you who didn't say a few words from beginning to end. ”
