Chapter Twenty-Four: Boss Luo's Banquet
Yu Mu's new home began to be renovated before the Mid-Autumn Festival, and naturally Ah Guang was looking for someone to serve him, and Yu Mu planned to move in before the Spring Festival next year to surprise his parents who had worked hard for half their lives.
Originally, I wanted to buy an extra set for Lao Mai's sister's family, but Lao Mai did not agree, because my sister and brother-in-law did not want to go to the city to build a business, and they also contracted the supermarket chain business around the suburbs, and raised a sum of cash to send their daughter to study abroad.
Since Sasha took a plane to outside the province, she is full of yearning for the outside world, she is so-so, but she has learned English well, and has been focusing on the TOEFL test, and now she has successfully passed.
When Lao Mai learned of this, she insisted on subsidizing Sasha 500,000 yuan, and if she used up all her original share capital, the rest was earned by Yu Mu herself, and how to spend it was her own business.
Luo Di and his father's visit, so that Lao Mai was very surprised, they did not meet, left behind Luo Di's mobile phone number who had just entered high school, many students from good families at that time played with mobile phones, and the thumb party started from playing with mobile phone text messages.
Lao Mai waited for a call back to Luo Di when he was free, and only then did he know the ins and outs.
Two years ago, Luo Di's father Luo boss family business began to decline, the business contracted sharply, probably because of the substantial involvement in the real estate industry, in recent years, affected by the domestic economic macro control, real estate sluggishness, housing prices have gradually declined, existing houses are sold at a lower price than pre-sale.
Boss Luo recently moved into a villa area developed by his own company, and always felt that feng shui was not good, which affected his business, and he was very annoyed that he had not invited Mr. Feng Shui to come and see the real estate he had developed.
Since his eldest daughter and the executive vice chairman of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC), who is also the nephew of the old minister, have been married, Boss Luo has become familiar with the old minister, as if they have become in-laws.
After the introduction of the old minister who is keen on Taoist culture, he has been to the Wuxiang Taoist Temple several times with the CPPCC members.
In the end, it was also Lao Mai who borrowed Mu Qingzi's face to play a role, and Qingxu Taoist sent a Taoist priest who was best at feng shui in Guan to help Boss Luo.
That Feng Shui Taoist is called Xuankong, although it does not belong to the Jinshi Sect, but it is also the path of cultivation, and it has been cultivated to the fifth stage of Qi refining in the middle stage of enlightenment, and the vision of Feng Shui is very sharp.
He has seen all the real estate developed by Boss Luo, and feels a little confused, from the feng shui to say that there is no big problem, and even the feng shui of the villa where Boss Luo lives is still good.
In that villa, after doing some simple formation arrangements for prosperity, Xuankong stumbled upon the jade zodiac pendant hanging on Luo Di's chest, and felt the fluctuation of the rich aura of the earth element inside, and was shocked.
At that time, Boss Luo's original wife, who was over fifty years old and had nothing to come out, had fully accepted Luo Di's mother and son, and Boss Luo was able to enjoy the blessings of Qi people with one wife and one concubine, and the family of five lived together in this new villa.
The Xuankong Daoist is a fifth-stage Qi refining cultivator with a partial earth attribute, and he is very sensitive to the breath of the earth system, and he is very unfathomable about this pendant magic weapon that he can't see through, so he asks about its source.
Luo Di had no choice but to say that it was given by his father before, and he couldn't leave his body when he wore it, so he could dispel evil and avoid trouble.
Therefore, at the suggestion of the Xuankong Daoist, Luo Di's father took his son to visit Lao Mai, intending to ask for another one.
Lao Mai couldn't resist Luo Di's repeated pleas, and promised to take the time to go to the banquet once, but he only went by himself, and did not wear Yu Mu, full of hope that she had anything to do with his embarrassing past.
At noon on a weekday, Boss Luo hosted a banquet in the Hong Kong Hall of the International Hotel in the city, waiting for Lao Mai to come.
Except for Lao Mai himself, only Xuankong Daoren, Boss Luo and Luo Di were present at the banquet on the Luo family's side, and the ex-wife who made Lao Mai feel embarrassed to meet did not show up.
The ex-wife is actually a smart person, knowing that her husband and son have contact with her ex-husband, and she also knows that she will never have the shame to see Lao Mai again, and now she can live in the Luo family, she is already satisfied, and she is willing to be a concubine to the end of her life.
The meals on the social occasion are all suitable for the occasion, four people sit at the automatic rotating round table that can seat more than a dozen people, and the table full of delicious food is just a superficial taste.
Boss Luo first respected Lao Mai's three cups of domestically bottled XO Gold Medal Martell, and thanked him for his wrong love for Luo Di and gave him such a valuable talisman.
Xuankong Daoist has been shocked since he met Lao Mai, he is also a cultivator, although he is not from the Jinshi Sect, and he has never met Lao Mai, but as a person with a partial earth attribute, he has an unfathomable feeling in the face of Lao Mai, which makes him tremble in his heart.
"Before, senior. ”
Old Mai Yang stopped him with his hand, and said with a smile: "Xuankong Daoist, I am now a government cadre, and I don't speak foreign words in the world, I have been to the Taoist temple several times, and I have also met with the abbot of Qingxu, and it is the first time I have seen the Taoist." ”
Xuankong is also a clever person, and hurriedly smiled and saluted: "Poor Dao has been very admired by District Chief Mai for a long time, and I am fortunate to see Sansheng today, but now there is a matter, I dare not ask the leader for advice." ”
Boss Luo saw that they were very vague in their answers, and he was a little unclear, but he still understood Xuankong's last sentence, looked at Xuankong, and then looked at his son who was immersed in eating, and finally looked at Lao Mai with anticipation.
Old Maihaha smiled and said: "I understand what the Taoist means, it's the matter of Luo Di's pendant, and I won't hide it from you, it was made by an old friend of mine, he traveled not long ago, and sent me a few talismans before leaving, saying that it was for younger children to wear and play, and now they are all sent out." ”
These words, in fact, are to block their idea of wanting to get another one, people say that it is for younger children to play, not only have to be juniors, but also children, as long as it is an adult, then it is exempt.
Xuankong didn't expect Lao Mai to say so directly, he was speechless for a while, glanced at Boss Luo, and saw that he was also dumbfounded and speechless.
Lao Mai smiled and groaned: "My old friend said that this is just a gadget, and it is useless for adults to wear it." ”
Since Boss Luo re-acquainted Lao Mai with the old minister, he felt that the current wheat area was quite extraordinary, and he was finally invited to sit together, not so easily to give up, and the owner could talk to the west if he didn't talk about it.
So, he smiled and said: "This, Mai District, in fact, please come out and sit down today, there is another thing to teach, I heard that you are a financial expert, and now my company has been running poorly since the transformation of real estate development, and the property market is not booming, I would like to ask you for your advice." ”
As soon as Lao Mai heard this, he understood a little that in recent years, the country's implementation of macroeconomic control policies in the economy has had an impact on the property market marketing of the housing development industry, which is still a bit big in a short period of time.
"Boss Luo said this, I also know, this is the current problem shared by all real estate developers, not only Boss Luo's family, many real estate developers have encountered the dilemma that the building is not easy to sell, and the price can not be sold, some housing companies even the capital chain is broken, the property market can not heat up in a short time, everyone is in a very difficult situation. ”
"Yes, yes," Boss Luo nodded hurriedly, "The wheat area is really as wise as a torch, I don't know how long this macro control will take, I can't hold it anymore, not long ago, I developed a community, due to the construction party cutting corners, resulting in the collapse of a high-rise residence, killing and injuring several migrant workers, the whole project has been suspended for rectification." ”
Although Lao Mai is not in charge of the safety supervision bureau that has just been established within the Planning and Economic Planning Bureau, he still understands the personal injury accidents in production safety, and in the actual accident handling process, there are often underworld and black lawyers involved, and no matter whether they are killed or injured, they will have to pay 500,000 yuan per person, which makes the party responsible for the accident anxious.
For Boss Luo, who had a house leak that happened to rain overnight, Lao Mai expressed deep sympathy: "Boss Luo, it is estimated that it will take three or five years for macro control, and I can't say for sure, even if the local government wants to help the project owners in the jurisdiction, there is nothing they can do." ”
Boss Luo sighed and said: "I am also a ghost, all of them are transformed at once, and my net worth is smashed into real estate development, and when the house heats up, it is estimated that I will not have much capital left." ”
Lao Mai said casually: "Boss Luo, in fact, you are not a mistake in decision-making, but the timing is a little wrong, I personally have a suggestion for your current situation." ”
In fact, whether Boss Luo is dead or alive, Lao Mai is confined to the past and disdains to take care of it, he is already a cultivator, and he has no intention of going to his heart about worldly things, but he has never let go of his love for his cheap son Luo Di in his early years, for the sake of him being the only heir of Boss Luo, it is necessary to help.
"Oh?" Boss Luo heard this, as if grasping a life-saving straw, he raised his head and stared at Lao Mai, "Please speak in the wheat area!"
Lao Mai said: "If you are willing to be affiliated with the Jinshi Group, the financial problem is not difficult to solve, and I have friends at the top of the team over there who can help you match." ”
"Jinshi Group?" Boss Luo also occasionally heard of this industrial group, and knew that it was a very low-key joint-stock company that never advertised and specialized in raw material business.
Lao Mai took out the leather wallet and took out a bronzing business card, which was printed with the words "Meng Qian, executive deputy general manager of Jinshi Group Company", one of the outer disciples who were transferred back from abroad, and was stationed in the administrative headquarters of the company in this city, and there was a foreign disciple named Li Jingdong, who was the general manager of the company and was resident in the business headquarters of Guangshen.
He handed the business card to Boss Luo and said with a smile: "Boss Luo, if you are interested, you can contact and talk about it first, the CEO of that company is a sincere person and will not pit you, maybe for you, this is an opportunity to turn defeat into victory and become bigger and stronger." ”
Boss Luo respectfully took the business card with both hands, and said with a grateful face: "Mai District, thank you really for your help, I will definitely visit this person in person, eh, Mr. Meng." ”
After all, his company is a family company, and he does not plan to go public, and there is no foreign investment.
Lao Mai smiled and said nothing, he could see Boss Luo's concerns at a glance, in fact, Lao Mai suggested this, on the one hand, for Luo Di's sake, on the other hand, this is also the practice of connecting the Middle Earth Cultivation Realm with the world.
