Chapter 500: Delicate and pretentious
Mr. Salt is not interested in the program.
But Xue Qing's classmates told him that the person looking for him was the prince of Cheng's Group, and that this show also had the participation of Xiao Zhang and Mr. Carpenter, and Xiao Zhang also joined the ranks of investors in this show, so he immediately became interested.
Whether it is Xiao Zhang or Cheng Yu, they are the most famous rich second generation in China.
Needless to say, Xiao Zhang has been famous all these years, whether it is his game team or the scandals between him and those Internet celebrities, he is on the cusp of public opinion.
Usually when talking about Xiaozhang, some people envy and some disdain, but no matter what, as long as there is an opportunity to meet him, almost no one refuses.
What's more, this is to cooperate with Xiao Zhang.
And Cheng Yu, although there has been no news before, but in the past six months, at least above a certain level, Cheng Yu's fame is actually far beyond his own imagination.
Before Cheng Yu returned to China, Cheng Guangnian's cultivation of successors had always been a very inexplicable thing for many people.
Cheng Guangnian put his two nephews in quite important positions, which gives people the feeling that he does not plan to let his son succeed him, but intends to hand over the Cheng Group to the son of his two younger brothers to succeed.
This has always been a hot topic of conversation among certain segments of the population.
Then the news of Cheng Yu's return to China spread with a small confrontation between him and Cheng Yi.
Cheng Yi's father and son were sent out directly because of Cheng Yu's matter, and basically there is no hope of returning to the core management of Cheng's Group.
This incident started by Cheng Yu, but Cheng Yu's self-questioning did not play a decisive role in it.
The fact that their father and son were assigned was more because they didn't know how to advance and retreat, and they crossed the bottom line in Cheng Guangnian's heart.
But in the eyes of the outside world, this is not the case, they will only think that Cheng Yu is simply a spring and autumn penmanship, and after returning to China, Cheng Yi and his son, who have always been in an important position in the Cheng Group, were kicked out of the game, and then Cheng Mo and Cheng Ran, the two sisters and brothers, also completely settled down.
Everyone actually understands that as long as Cheng Guangnian's attitude is not clear, sooner or later there will be major disagreements in the Cheng family over the matter of inheriting the group.
Judging from Cheng Yi's affairs, Cheng Guangnian has always been biased towards his own son's side. But the strange thing is that Cheng Guangnian did not let Cheng Yu enter the group for training after he returned to China, let alone arrange him in any important position.
Even if Cheng Yu won the Xixi Metro project with twists and turns, many people also regarded this as ironclad evidence that Cheng Guangnian and Cheng Yu's father and son did not agree.
After all, for such an important project, Cheng Guangnian definitely hoped that Cheng's Group would take over, but Cheng Yu gave it to Du Changfeng.
Even if he obtained some shares of the Du Group, and thus the Du Group and the Cheng Group cooperated to establish Qianjin, Cheng Yu also became one of the shareholders of Qianjin, but it made the "discerning person" more convinced that Cheng Guangnian really didn't want to hand over the country he had laid over to Cheng Yu.
Otherwise, why is the chairman of the new company cooperated by the two groups Du Xiaoyu, and the CEO is Xu Dong, an assistant from Cheng Guangnian?
Originally, this position was not supposed to be held by Cheng Yu?
There are many questions in the market, and many people even speculate that Cheng Yu is not Cheng Guangnian's biological son. Of course, this is not to say that they think that Ning Kezhu has cheated, but they suspect that Cheng Guangnian is infertile, and Cheng Yu is his adopted son.
Of course, these are just some people's speculations, no matter what, no one can take away the identity of Cheng Yu, the prince of the Cheng Group.
If Cheng Yu is just a wine bag and rice bag second ancestor, it would be fine, but under the observation of those who are interested, Cheng Yu has returned to China for less than a year, but his performance is quite extraordinary.
Not to mention the Xixi subway project that seems a little inexplicable, it is very strange that it was transferred to him from Xixi Xue's family, just from the achievements of Cheng Yu's investment company in the past year, it is enough to surprise those who think he may be a wine bag and rice bag.
Even if it is Xiao Zhang, the results of his investment company are not so good, and the resources that Xiao Zhang obtains from his father are obviously far greater than Cheng Yu.
Getting rid of the former Jin who Cheng Yu's right to speak is not too heavy, Cheng Yu's own net worth has increased by I don't know how many times in less than a year.
Those who are interested can even clearly see that after Cheng Yu returned to China, every investment he made was making money.
Not even a single project is not profitable.
If you want to say that there are few shots, Cheng Yu actually has a lot of shots, his companies are almost one after another on the projects, and the profits brought by each one will even make many investment veterans ashamed.
Xiao Zhang showed an extraordinary closeness to Cheng Yu today, which of course has something to do with the fact that he is Cheng Guangnian's son, but more because of Cheng Yu's own achievements.
It can be said that Cheng Yu has returned to China for less than a year, and the transcript handed over is simply a genius-level level.
This can't help but remind people that Cheng Guangnian has been in the business world for 20 years, and the most commendable thing is that he has almost never made a mistake in decision-making since he started in business.
Now, although Cheng Yu's experience in the shopping mall is still short, he already has the shadow of Cheng Guangnian.
The same error-free results always make people think that this father and son are too incredible.
Therefore, among ordinary people, Cheng Yu's fame is of course far inferior to Xiao Zhang, who has already crawled and been infamous and famous.
But above a certain circle and class, Cheng Yu's fame may not be much worse than Xiao Zhang.
Such two people operated a variety show project that can be said to be no different from joking, and actually found themselves, of course, Mr. Salt will not miss this opportunity to get acquainted with the two of them.
Even if there is a chance, Mr. Salt doesn't mind giving some money to play with these two young masters.
So, when he learned that the people he wanted to talk to were these two people, he agreed almost without hesitation.
Originally, there was a meeting in the afternoon, and there was a banquet after the meeting.
But he asked the assistant to rearrange the banquet, and his assistant would attend the banquet, and he himself, of course, was going to have dinner with Cheng Dashao.
After letting Xue Qing's classmates pass on their contact information and dinner invitation, Mr. Dai Yan was even in a state of anxiety, waiting for Cheng Yu's reply.
Cheng Yu and Xiao Zhang drove to Yongwang's Mansion, where there was a vegetarian restaurant, and the environment was quite good.
In this vegetarian restaurant, Xiao Zhang is one of the shareholders.
Although it is a restaurant, it actually has the function of a club for meeting guests and tasting tea, especially after a meal, which is a place that Xiaozhang often uses to entertain friends.
The vegetarian restaurant is diagonally opposite the Yongwang Mansion, which was originally a quadrangle with two entrances and two exits, but now, of course, it has been directly demolished and rebuilt.
But the overall style is still antique, even if the area is not large, it still insists on creating a yard that occupies more than half of the overall area.
This kind of place, Xiao Zhang came to invest, of course, not to make money from here.
Even if the business is booming, how much income can be made in a year? Xiao Zhang and other shareholders did not take this income seriously, what they wanted was just a forced price.
Xiao Zhang himself seems to be vulgar, but he has been at the top of the money food chain since he was a child, how can he really not understand elegance at all.
The courtyard of this vegetarian restaurant was almost entirely built according to his ideas, and what he liked the most was this courtyard.
It was the middle of winter, and it was actually not suitable for sitting in the yard, but Xiao Zhang obviously used some brains for this.
There was a small bridge in the yard, and there was really living water flowing under the bridge, but by this time, it had already been frozen with a thin layer of ice.
Next to the small bridge, there is an octagonal pavilion with a tree root tea table and a few chairs.
Taking Cheng Yu into the courtyard, Xiao Zhang walked straight towards the pavilion, and said dissatisfiedly as he walked: "Didn't I call before? Why hasn't it been arranged yet?"
The manager next to him hurriedly said with a smiling face: "When you called just now, there were still many customers in the restaurant. You know, the screens are all in the warehouse, and you have to go through the dining room to move here. Before the guests finished their meal, it was not good for us to make a big fuss. But don't worry, there are only two tables left in the restaurant and we're greeting them. Now they're already moving things here. ”
Xiao Zhang still snorted dissatisfied, and walked into the pavilion with Cheng Yu.
"Sit down first, and you'll be cleaned up in five minutes. With that, he looked at the manager, who nodded vigorously, meaning that five minutes would definitely be fine.
Cheng Yu also sat down, and Xiao Zhang turned on the electric pottery stove and slowly added water to the iron kettle.
There was a noisy footstep behind him, and Cheng Yu saw that it was a group of waiters and cooks, carrying a large number of glass screens, and hurriedly walked over.
During the long waiting time for the iron kettle to boil water, Cheng Yu watched these restaurant staff surround the gazebo with those glass screens.
There was still a little space left above and the eaves of the pavilion, and it couldn't completely block the death, but even so, Cheng Yu suddenly felt a lot warmer, after all, the north wind of the imperial capital was really like a knife blowing on his body.
This is clearly not enough.
Eight slender columnar objects were also moved over and placed on the eight corners of the octagonal pavilion, which also happened to be the connection of those glass screens, which basically did not obstruct the line of sight, and Cheng Yu could still enjoy the scene in the courtyard through those screens.
I heard a few soft bangs in my ears, and in front of Cheng Yu's eyes, the columnar object behind Xiao Zhang suddenly erupted a tongue of fire, vertically upwards in the glass cover, Cheng Yu could almost feel that as the flames rose in all these cylinders, the temperature in the pavilion began to rise sharply, and even his pores seemed to open instantly.
"Well, it's finally warm. Xiao Zhang stood up, took off his thick coat, and threw it on the empty chair beside him.
Cheng Yu also felt that the temperature in the pavilion was very high, so he took off his coat in a similar way.
The temperature in the pavilion gradually reached an equilibrium as the eight cylinders burned and the heat from the void at the top escaped.
It remains at about seventeen or eighteen degrees, no longer rising, but never easily decreasing.
The water in the iron kettle finally boiled, and Xiao Zhang picked up a rag and put it on the handle of the kettle and began to clean the tea set, while explaining plainly: "The size of this pavilion and the effect of these heaters are specially designed by someone."
I hired a professor from the Department of Physics at Tsinghua University to do the technical design.
Don't look at this is just eight natural gas furnaces, in fact, there are computer chips here to control to ensure that the temperature in the pavilion can reach 18 degrees in the shortest possible time, and then just keep it, no longer heat up.
It's not a big deal, but it does take a lot of thought. ”
It can be seen that Xiao Zhang is quite proud of this, but he deliberately pretends to be light.
Cheng Yu smiled secretly and said, "You have a copy of this design, right?" Or did you come up with the idea?"
"How do you know?"
"If it weren't for your idea, it wouldn't be anything to be proud of. In fact, it is a fairly ordinary design, and the key is that few people have thought of it before. ”
Xiao Zhang was also happy: "You are sincere."
But you're right, there's nothing to be proud of in this thing, it's not hard to design, it's hard because few people are as wasteful as I am.
The designers didn't expect it because their idea was based on saving as much energy as possible, and I didn't care about the cost, I was looking for comfort and good looks.
You see, sitting in the pavilion like this is no different from when the spring flowers are blooming. ”
"I'm honest because I don't need to pat you on the back. Cheng Yu said with emotion.
As he was talking, someone outside the pavilion shouted softly: "It's snowing." ”
Cheng Yu and Xiao Zhang both followed the prestige, only to see that in the sky, there were indeed scattered snowflakes falling down.
"It's quite big, and it looks like it's going to get big soon. ”
"It's good to get down, enjoy the snow at night, eat and drink wine, this is called beauty. ”
Xiao Zhang made tea and pushed it to Cheng Yu for a cup.
"By the way, you tell me about the salt, I'll be here at night, looking at the snow, I'm too lazy to run out. ”
Of course, Cheng Yu had no opinion, turned on his mobile phone, and added WeChat with salt according to the contact information given by Xue Qing.
WeChat quickly passed the verification, and the other party immediately sent a message.
"Hello, is it Mr. Cheng?"
Cheng Yu replied: It's me, hello Mr. Dai.
After the greetings, Cheng Yu also said what Xiao Zhang meant, of course he wouldn't say it so domineeringly, but said that it was snowing outside now, seeing that the snowflakes were getting bigger and bigger, the two of them were here in Yongwangfu, and the traffic situation was not very good. If you eat in other places and are afraid of being stuck in the road, you want to bring salt directly to this vegetarian restaurant.
As a result, I took a look at the salt and replied: I know Zhang Gongzi's vegetarian restaurant, and I have eaten there with customers several times. But I have a meeting in the afternoon, and I'll go over as soon as the meeting is over. It's just a pity, I originally wanted to invite the two of you to a Japanese restaurant, which I opened in collaboration with a Japanese friend.
Cheng Yu smiled, Xiao Zhang noticed his expression, and asked, "What are you laughing at? It seems that this Mr. Dai is quite humorous?"
Cheng Yu shook his head and said, "That's not it, it's just that he seems to have inquired about it and knows that I like to eat Japanese food, so although he agreed to come to you, he still mentioned it." ”
Xiao Zhang waved his hand nonchalantly and said: "You can eat anything, although I am a vegetarian restaurant here, but just ask someone to say hello and call a Japanese chef to bring the ingredients here? ”
Cheng Yu only felt that his eyes were slightly darkened, this Xiao Zhang was really casual.
So Cheng Yu roughly said this to the salt body, it is estimated that the salt body is also a black line, after all, a vegetarian restaurant, suddenly began to eat meat, this boss (well, one) is too casual, other shareholders really don't have opinions?
The snow fell very quickly.
In just half an hour, a thin layer of snow had accumulated on the ground.
"In ancient times, if a winter snow froze the soil, the harvest in the coming year would not be too bad. But now, a snowfall is beautiful and beautiful, but I don't know how much trouble it will bring to the roads in the city. ”
Xiao Zhang held the teacup, and the tea mist rose from the cup, and suddenly he felt some emotion.
Cheng Yu was a little surprised.
He smiled and said, "Headmaster, why did you suddenly start worrying about the country and the people?"
"Look at those waiters, wearing thigh-baring cheongsams and restless, and I don't know what excitement is when they look at the snow one by one. If I hadn't been sitting here, they would have rushed into the yard to play in the snow. This snow, they are happy to watch, the yard is quiet, but if you go to the road now, maybe some units have begun to organize people to clear the snow. ”
Cheng Yu nodded.
After chatting until more than four o'clock in the afternoon, WeChat rang, and Cheng Yu saw that it was sent with salt.
He said that he had arrived nearby, Cheng Yu said to Xiao Zhang, Xiao Zhang beckoned, and the manager ran over just now.
Xiao Zhang gave him an order, he nodded, walked through the restaurant, and went to the front door to pick up Mr. Salt.
"Do you really want to eat Japanese food?" asked Xiao Zhang.
Cheng Yu thought for a while and said with a smile: "To be honest, I really don't have much interest in materials.
For one, if you don't believe in gods and Buddhas, you always feel that it took millions of years for human beings to reach the top of the food chain, and it is always a bit of a cart before the horse when you go back to being a vegetarian.
Second, if you are a vegetarian, you have to make the ingredients into the taste of meat dishes, why is this?
It's better to eat meat directly.
It's true that it's delicate and it seems healthy to say, but it's always hard for me to accept this kind of so-called refinement. ”
"Who doesn't want to be exquisite? This is not actually exquisite, it is hypocrisy. "The small chapter is all about it.
Cheng Yu laughed and said, "Principal, you're slapping yourself in the face." ”
"What do you say here?" Xiao Zhang stretched out his hand and gestured, "I took this piece of land, and it was designed in the style of the Ming and Qing dynasties, which is also my advocacy."
This is the delicacy in my eyes.
Then, my dad stuck in and said, don't bury such a good place, let's get a vegetarian restaurant.
Originally, I resolutely disagreed, I wanted to engage in Buddha jumping over the wall, steaming lamb, steaming bear's paws, and steaming deer tails.
But the old man insisted on it, and when the other shareholders saw it, they immediately saw that the wind turned the rudder to my father's side.
So, this became a vegetarian restaurant.
As a result, it has been open for more than a year, and my father has never been here.
I have a meal with him occasionally, and I think he can't eat less meat.
So, hypocrisy. ”
Cheng Yu laughed out loud when he heard this.
Xiao Zhang touched his nose and said, "It is said that the first time we met, I just complained to you about my father, it seems that it is a little bit not good!"
Cheng Yu still laughed and said, "It's okay, it's okay, I'm used to it." My dad and I had a quarrel as soon as we met, and I didn't see him in adulthood without arguing. ”
"Yes, it is rumored that you don't have a good relationship with your father. ”
Seeing Xiao Zhang's appearance of wanting to speak and stopping, Cheng Yu said: "Is there still a rumor that I am actually not my father's biological child?"
Xiao Zhang coughed dryly twice, it was inconvenient to answer.
Cheng Yu said indifferently: "I can be sure of this, because I also doubted it." I used to have a feeling that my dad didn't want me to come back at all, and he wanted to throw me to die there. So, I secretly got some hair from him and took it to the United States for a DNA test in the United States. Then, science said that the probability that I was the biological father and son of him was comparable to that of four or nine pure gold. ”
Rao is Xiaozhang felt that this topic was very embarrassing, and couldn't help laughing.
"Are you really suspicious? I'm so much happier than you. I was said to be a loser since I was a child, but my dad was a loser because of me, so I didn't need to do a paternity test to confirm that he was definitely my father. ”
Cheng Yu waved his hand and said: "That's not certain, if it was a friend who died for me and was dying, I would probably spoil that child to heaven." ”
Xiao Zhang's face darkened: "Get out!"
