No. 280 [The Price of Entering High Society]
Lin Zhichao's motorvoy stopped in front of a high-end restaurant in Wan Chai, and as soon as he got out of the car, he heard a voice of 'Brother Zhichao'.
I saw his cousin Lin Zhihao, on the side of the car door, respectfully laughing.
patted his cousin on the shoulder, and then Lin Zhichao went forward to greet his second uncle.
"Second uncle, why did you think of inviting me to a big dinner today! Still looking for such a high-end restaurant! ”
Lin Yunchu said with a smile: "You are busy with time, otherwise I will treat you every day." Inside please! ”
Afterwards, the three of them walked into the hotel.
Lin Yunchu, Lin Zhihao and his son invited Lin Zhichao to dinner, and the father and son waited at the door, ostensibly respecting Lin Zhichao, but in fact they were more or less estranged.
Of course, this estranged relationship is compared with the relationship between Lin Zhichao and Tang Zhongyuan's son-in-law.
Although Lin Zhichao supports Lin Yunchu, and Lin Yunchu is also Lin Zhichao's second uncle, the relationship between the two families is definitely far from the relationship between Lin Zhichao and Tang Zhongyuan's family.
Lin Yunchu's family, only during the Chinese New Year, came to No. 79 Deep Water Bay to pay New Year's greetings, of course, to the eldest sister-in-law Wu Wenying, in fact, to thank Lin Zhichao for his support.
After the three of them sat down, Lin Zhihao beckoned to the distance, and a person who looked like a lobby manager came to the three of them.
"Brother Zhichao, this is my friend Shen Tengfei, who is the lobby manager here!"
Lin Zhichao raised his head, a man with glasses in his thirties, with the spiritual face of the service industry;
He smiled and said, "Since your friend works here, I'll leave the order to him, try the specialty dishes here!" ”
Shen Tengfei hurriedly said: "Okay, Lin Sheng, I will definitely take out the signboard of our hotel!" ”
Subsequently, Lin Zhichao didn't care, so he chatted with Lin Yunchu.
"Second uncle, how is the factory doing?"
Lin Yunchu is only 48 years old this year, 15 years older than Lin Zhichao, and it is the time when his energy is good.
According to Lin Zhichao's understanding, Lin Yunchu is better than being conscientious and meticulous in doing a factory.
To put it simply, there is less development and more than stability.
Lin Yunchu said: "It's not bad, with the care of Changjiang Industrial Group, there is no shortage of orders." It is that Hong Kong's wigs and plastic flowers are very competitive, thanks to your care, otherwise our factory would not have been so good. ”
Lin Zhichao said with a smile: "Our uncle and nephew are polite! However, wigs and plastic flowers will not have a good life for a few years, and they may not be popular in a few years. ”
When he encouraged his second uncle to invest in an industrial building, he took this situation into account.
In addition to considering this situation, it is also due to the fact that Lin Zhichao can't let people gossip - he is so rich, and his second uncle's family is still so 'poor'.
If you can help others, you can naturally help your second uncle.
Before Lin Yunchu could speak, Lin Zhihao immediately said with a hint of joy: "Lao Dou, let me say it, the two industries of wigs and plastic flowers cannot always be popular. You see, Brother Zhichao said that this is the case. ”
Lin Zhichao scolded with a smile: "What are you doing so happy, crazy!" If these two industries are no longer popular, how big is your factory, and can you still afford it? In a few years, the industry will really deteriorate, and I will leave these two businesses to you, and I will be able to hold on until the mid-seventies. ”
Lin Zhihao was stunned suddenly, lowered his head and whispered: "Brother Zhichao, I didn't mean that!" ”
Lin Yunchu was overjoyed, even if it was no longer popular, the scale of the Yangtze River Plastic Factory and the Yangtze River Wig Factory could support him.
Lin Zhichao glanced at Lin Yunchu and said, "Second uncle, do you have something to do today?" ”
Lin Yunchu nodded and said, "It's not this stinky boy yet, he has been following me for three years. Now I say I want to start a business and open a hotel with the lobby manager just now. I thought, this is such a big investment, he doesn't know anything about food and beverage, so I ask you what you mean? ”
Lin Zhichao looked at Lin Zhihao and said, "It's useless for you to ask me about this, I'm not familiar with catering." Even if I do catering in Hong Kong, I may not be able to compete. Don't look at Hong Kong's small size, but it brings together catering masters from all over the world, and it's not easy to do this business! ”
To put it bluntly, a young man under the age of 25 has the strength to open a restaurant.
Lin Yunchu immediately educated his son and said, "See it! You only have a few skills, you dare to invest in a high-end restaurant, and take out 500,000 Hong Kong dollars at once, do you know how much it is? You can buy ten residential units, and you will earn more than half a year. ”
Lin Zhichao didn't open his mouth, his second uncle now has an industrial building for rent, which can collect about three or four hundred thousand yuan in rent every year, and with two factories, he can indeed earn one million a year.
Lin Zhihao was stunned, in fact, he proposed to invite his cousin to dinner today; Because he didn't agree to invest in the hotel, he only hoped to pin on his cousin.
Unexpectedly, my cousin was not optimistic about this investment.
After a while, Lin Zhichao tasted its dishes, and the taste was still good, after all, it was a high-end restaurant.
But with a lobby manager, it's hard to replicate someone else's success.
While he was eating and drinking, Lin Zhichao suddenly had an idea and thought of a good idea.
So, he said to the second uncle: "Second uncle, there is nothing wrong with diversified investment, as long as you don't go into debt." You can also try this high-end hotel investment, but I recommend you to get involved. Zhihao is young after all, since he wants to change careers, let him study hard, kitchen, hall, procurement, these must be studied hard. If he doesn't learn well, he is simply a career material, and it's okay to follow you to help in the future. ”
Lin Zhihao is not sad but happy, he is determined to do it well.
Lin Yunchu actually wanted to try it too, but he liked to listen to this nephew's opinion the most, so he immediately said, "Then try it!" ”
Lin Zhichao said with a smile: "It's not a try, since you want to do it, you must do it well." But you can't have problems in the factory, otherwise you'll lose your watermelon and pick up sesame seeds. ”
Lin Yunchu nodded seriously and said, "Well, I will definitely do a good job." ”
Subsequently, the three of them chatted, and Lin Zhichao gave them some opinions more or less. Although not an expert in the restaurant industry, it is indeed a valuable piece of advice.
In fact, Lin Zhichao is not optimistic that he can open a good restaurant with an investment of 500,000 yuan, but he hopes that Lin Yunchu and his son can get in touch with the catering industry.
In the late sixties, if they were still running the catering business, Lin Zhichao would not mind partnering with them to do catering and engage in Chinese fast food.
Wigs and plastic flowers really didn't last long, and more than half of them had to go out of business in 1967; In his previous life, Li Jiacheng's plastic business reached after the mid-70s, because he changed careers and used the machinery and equipment used to produce plastic flowers for the heads of doll toys and OEM for American brands.
Therefore, when the time comes, the Yangtze River plastic and wig business will be difficult to protect itself, and where can Lin Yunchu go.
Since they mentioned catering, Lin Zhichao also encouraged them.
He also has two cousins and one cousin, and if Lin Yunchu has always had his own career, these cousins and cousins would not need to enter his business. Lin Zhichao is also afraid of the company that his relatives enter, after all, his business has developed, and he doesn't want relatives.
In mid-April, Lin Zhichao started his trip to Japan.
On this trip, his main task is shipbuilding, about 8 100,000-ton oil tankers, 2 130,000-ton oil tankers, and it is expected to build two 20,000-ton cargo ships.
On the freighter, Lin Zhichao will not necessarily build all the demand in Japan, and will build a small amount in the United Kingdom, France, and Germany. The first is to consider that European freighters perform slightly better, and the second is due to political necessity.
In fact, Lin Zhichao's cargo ship business mainly comes from Japan, and there are some routes from Europe and the United States to the Far East; It did not enter the European route or the American route, so it did not necessarily have to consider the political needs of France and Germany.
However, Lin Zhichao likes to communicate extensively, so he will be wet with rain and dew, and give him some sweetness.
"Mr. Lin, do you need something to drink?" Hinako Sakurai was half-kneeling beside Lin Zhichao, and her eyes were full of electricity.
Lin Zhichao couldn't help but look at it, this woman didn't give up, even if she was squatting, she showed her beautiful figure, which was very amorous.
"Let's get some wine!"
"Okay, you wait."
Although Lin Zhichao was a little moved for a moment, he would not take the initiative to be a flight attendant, which was very embarrassing.
He knew that Hinako Sakurai had thoughts about him, so he only needed a glance - if you have a chance, it's okay, as for whether Hinako Sakurai can seize the opportunity, that's her ability!
Lin Zhichao once made a pair of Japanese sisters, but after all, he couldn't give others a future, so after sponsoring them to go to college, he stopped sponsoring them.
After a while, Hinako Sakurai pushed the wine delivery cart and came to Lin Zhichao.
She gently poured a book of red wine, then held it in both hands, leaned forward, and sent it to the small table in front of Lin Zhichao.
I don't know if it's intentional or intentional, the movement is gentle, deliberately showing her proud figure.
Lin Zhichao smelled a faint smell of women, and still maintained a gentlemanly demeanor.
"Here are my contact details!"
Hinako Sakurai took the opportunity to stuff Lin Zhichao with a note, and then did not forget to throw a wink before leaving happily.
She was sure that this would not offend the boss, because the boss's eyes just now were different from the previous few times, so she decided to be bold and take the initiative once; After all, there may only be one opportunity, if she doesn't cherish it, when will she wait for the next time.
She has been with Hong Kong Airlines for two years, and she is 28 years old, she needs a rich and powerful man, in the past two years, she has seen too many guests, some people are rich, but they are ugly and old, and some people pretend to be rich, she is not impressed.
She felt that she was looking for the best backer, and Lin Zhichao had already entered her sight, but she was suffering from the fact that this man seemed to be uninterested in her. But she is not in a hurry and has been patiently waiting for the opportunity.
Today, she finally did it!
However, she didn't show it proudly, the first is that it may annoy Lin Zhichao, and the second is that if things don't work out, her work can be guaranteed.
On the other side, several flight attendants were also talking in a small space.
"The purser is going to be disappointed again, our boss, but the one who is married!"
"That's it, it's been more than a year, and the purser still hasn't given up. I'm not afraid of offending the boss, and I can't even keep my job. ”
Hinako Sakurai came to her subordinates with a normal expression and said, "What are you discussing again!" ”
A flight attendant boldly said: "Purser, our boss is a man with two wives, so you can save your worries!" ”
Hinako Sakurai immediately said deliberately: "What are you talking nonsense! When the boss takes our flight, he must be inspecting our crew, and if I don't behave better, you still want to increase your salary! ”
The stewardess said in disbelief: "Is that really the case? You don't have any other ideas? ”
Hinako Sakurai knew that she couldn't be serious, otherwise she would be weak-hearted, so she immediately said seriously: "It's true, don't talk nonsense, if someone knows about it, our entire crew will have to be in trouble." ”
Everyone hurriedly promised not to talk nonsense, and this matter was not mentioned again.
As everyone knows, these flight attendants don't know that at this time, Hinako Sakurai is already full of expectations.
When I arrived at the Tokyo airport, it was already half past three in the afternoon.
Lin Zhichao waited in the parking lot of the airport for half an hour, and his female bodyguard finally led Hina Sakurai into the car.
"Mr. Lin, I'm sorry to keep you waiting!" Hinako Sakurai said softly.
"It's okay, it's right to take your work seriously. Let's go to the hotel for dinner! Lin Zhichao looked at Hina Sakurai and said gentlemanly.
"I'll listen to your arrangement today!" Hinako Sakurai said in a seductive tone.
"Good" Lin Zhichao still maintains his demeanor.
Now that it's already in hand, it's naturally even more unhurried.
Along the way, Lin Zhichao closed his eyes and seemed to be asleep.
On the contrary, it was Hina Sakurai who was worried, isn't she beautiful enough? The man looked at it a few times, and then he never looked again.
After arriving at the hotel, it was almost a meal, and Lin Zhichao invited Hinako Sakurai to dinner.
Sitting in an upscale environment, Hinako Sakurai's heart is full of joy, this is the real life of the upper class.
High-end wines, expensive food, and extremely professional service staff.
"Miss Hinatako, you've been a flight attendant for so long, you're no stranger to this kind of scene, right?" Lin Zhichao laughed.
How do you feel that this girl has never seen anything in the world!
It stands to reason that there is no shortage of rich people chasing beautiful flight attendants like Hinako Sakurai.
Hinako Sakurai let out an 'ah', and then said embarrassedly: "I have never been to such a high-end hotel, and people have invited me before, but I have refused!" ”
Lin Zhichao was stunned for a moment, and saw that Hinako Sakurai didn't look like she was lying, nor was she pretending to be innocent.
Then he asked, "Then I guess!" You once had a boyfriend who was in love with you and turned down a lot of rich people's invitations. Otherwise, it doesn't seem like it's my turn to invite you! ”
Hinako Sakurai immediately nodded and said, "Mr. Lin, you are really good at looking at people!" The sadness flashed away, and it turned to a flattering and flattering look.
Lin Zhichao continued: "Then don't mind if I guess again, why did you break up?" ”
Hinako Sakurai held her chin with both hands and nodded lightly with a coquettish face.
Lin Zhichao said: "I think he found a rich lady and abandoned you." ”
Hinako Sakurai suddenly said in surprise: "Mr. Lin, you really understand it!" ”
"Haha"
Lin Zhichao laughed happily, he didn't mind whether the matter was true or not, he felt that it was very good to be echoed by a beautiful woman!
Subsequently, the two had a good chat, and after they were full of wine and food, Lin Zhichao walked to the guest room with Hinako Sakurai in his arms.
"Why don't you take a visit? Be my guest! Sitting on the sofa in the living room, Lin Zhichao motioned to Hina Sakurai.
Hinako Sakurai's cheeks were a little red at this time, and under the influence of alcohol, her eyes were a little blurred. But she showed more of an excited and nervous performance, and her hands didn't know where to put them, under Lin Zhichao's eyes.
"Okay"
Then, Hinako Sakurai walked around the suite and returned to the living room again.
She relaxed a lot this time, and then came to Lin Zhichao's side and sat down, holding Lin Zhichao's arm.
"What's next?"
Lin Zhichao approached her face and said softly: "Next, please change into today's flight attendant costumes, if you have black stockings, you can replace the flesh-colored stockings." ”
Only then did Hinako Sakurai discover that under this man's gentlemanly face, there was also a 'nasty' heart.
"I don't have black stockings, so I'll wear them for you next time!"
Hina Sakurai's face suddenly became a little hot, do rich people like to play these moods?
Of course, she did, and then found her suitcase, opened it, and changed into her uniform.
This man is rich and powerful, handsome and temperamental, she doesn't feel disgusted, but more shy.
Lin Zhichao looked at a pair of long legs in front of him, it was hard to imagine that a Japanese woman could be nearly one meter six or five tall, and a pair of long legs were close together.
It's not so easy to get into high society!
Let the storm come more violently!
