It was almost four o'clock in the afternoon, and the autumn sun was scorching the courtyard of the courtyard. The ginkgo tree is listless.
It's still a while before dinner. Xiang Xiuzhen was sitting in a corner of the living room, chatting with Wei Caiyan, Tan Yingying, and Li Na.
Li Mengwei introduced her best friend to her friends, and at Xiao He's request, she went to see if she was satisfied with the layout of the restaurant.
Jing Gao was dragged away by An Zhiwen to talk about things.
Wei Caiyan was older and the leader of the mathematics group in the second grade of high school. He dominated the conversation, chatting with a few girls about the price of courtyard houses.
"Young Master Xie, do you know how much it costs?" Don't blame Wei Caiyan for being tacky. As a married woman, who doesn’t care about things like a house, a car, and children? Firewood, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar and tea. Unless you have the capital to not care.
Xie An waved his hand quickly, "Don't bother me, Miss Wei. I really can't answer this question. I haven't reached the point where Laojing is buying the sky-high price of the courtyard house like cabbage."
Li Na recounted Xiao He's words when she arrived and said, "Young Master Xie, how much does Mr. Jing's villa cost?"
According to Xiao He, there are three types of courtyard houses: sky-high prices, 160,000 yuan per square meter in good locations, and less than 100,000 yuan per square meter. According to Mr. Xie’s words, the courtyard is located to the east of the Forbidden City, and the backyard door faces the moat of the Forbidden City. This is a sky-high price courtyard!
Ye Ning was equally curious. Xie An is a native of Beijing!
Xie An said helplessly: "Does Wendi Deng know that? The road we just came over is her courtyard house in Beijing. The price in 2004 was about 10 million. When she divorced in 2013, the media valued the courtyard house at 100 million. How much do you think this courtyard house in Laojing costs? I personally estimate it is no less than 300 million.
There are also decoration costs. Did you see that table by the wall? Redwood, worth at least 1 million. And the incense burner above, if it were an antique, it would be worth tens of millions. The total cost of zero and zero will not be less than 150 million. "
"oh…"
Li Na was speechless in admiration and said to her friend Tan Yingying: "Yingying, what do you think it would be like for us to cook in the kitchen of a courtyard house worth 300 million yuan?"
Tan Yingying laughed angrily, "Nana, what kind of weird idea do you have? Mr. Jing cooks for Weiwei, and you're not happy for us to take advantage of it?"
Xiang Xiuzhen's expression moved slightly and asked, "Mr. Jing, are you cooking for Weiwei?"
"Yes." Li Na recounted what happened at noon. Eating lunch cooked by a billionaire is a great conversation starter, isn't it? Then he said: "Mr. Jing's cooking skills are quite good, much better than mine."
This was obviously a bit of a compliment. This is normal. When someone else cooks for you, you still want to find fault with them, saying this is not good and that is not good. You are not like that.
"Giggle." Several girls laughed.
Xiang Xiuzhen drank the fragrant tea and fell into deep thought. As Weiwei's good friend, of course she has to keep her best friend in check. But she is not a fool, and she starts to sneer when she comes up. Is she helping her best friend or hurting her? So you have to pay attention to the timing of "questioning".
Now, her thoughts were a little shaken. It was obvious that Mr. Jing was very kind to Weiwei. A billionaire personally cooks and entertains Weiwei and her friends. Needless to say, this love and pampering? This was as surprising to her as assuming that one day Weiwei would be able to take a spoon with her bare hands.
Xiang Xiuzhen got up and went to the bathroom, and happened to meet Jing Gao and Li Mengwei coming out of the restaurant holding hands. Weiwei had a happy smile on her face, chatting and laughing with her boyfriend.
well…
She still "questioned" a ghost. At the very least, she would have to observe for a while. Rather than messing around today.
…
…
Jing Gao had just finished talking to An Zhiwen.
An Zhiwen gave Jing Gao a general report on the business of the textile group, "Xiashang Textile's current focus has changed from integration and restoration of production capacity to production line upgrades. At the same time, the establishment of Xiashang Garment Co., Ltd. has been completed. With well-known domestic fashion brands We have cooperated with magazines and media people, such as Fashion Bara and Ella. The connection with designers from Zhaoshi Group has been completed.”
Jing Gaodao: "I will support you in terms of funds. Dayou Bank will lend you US$1 billion. Just go ahead and do it."
His Hong Kong-based Jiuge Capital acquired Hong Kong Dayou Bank as a wholly-owned holding for US$3.02 billion.
Currently, he is using this bank as a basis to acquire the local Bank of East Asia on Hong Kong Island. Bank of East Asia ranks 6th among banks on Hong Kong Island. The name may seem like a regional bank, but it actually has operations around the world.
Of course, the business in each region is not large. Jinggao was recommended by UBS and was interested in his commercial banking licenses in some important regions around the world. For example, it is in the UK, UK.
However, its commercial banking license in the United States was sold to ICBC in 2004. It still retains 20% of its shares. It was a foreign-funded bank approved by the China Banking Regulatory Commission in 2007 and has branches in mainland China.
Bank of East Asia is currently listed on the Hong Kong stock market, with a market value of approximately HK$50 billion.
How should a Shenhao with unlimited cards spend money? This is!
Of course, such a large acquisition amount involves multiple shareholders, and the acquisition will not be completed overnight. After completing the economic delivery, it still needs to be submitted to the regulatory agency for approval. Parsson, general manager of UBS Asia Pacific, estimated it would take a year.
"OK."
An Zhiwen thought for a while and then said: "Mr. Jing, there is something I need to communicate with you. Didn't I suggest appointing professional managers to manage the Zhao Group? I arranged for a vice president who I can trust. Past management.
The current operating situation of Zhao Group is not good. Liao Rong called me the day before yesterday and suggested that Zhao Group give up its two businesses of printing, book publishing, advertising agency, and production, and focus on culture and tourism business.
She suggested that Phoenix Film and Television take over the printing, book publishing, advertising agency, and production businesses. And Xia Shang Group injected capital into Zhao Group. "
Jing Gao nodded slightly and asked, "What's going on?"
Liao Rong now works at Phoenix Film and Television. Jing Gao offered her the position of vice president, with an annual salary of 10 million yuan + bonus. This is not an economic account, but a personal account of Professor Zhao.
Many people don't understand. You know, Beijing University of Technology is the son of the city! Various policies and funding tilts. This is not just a 211 university. Professor Zhao’s connections are extraordinary!
Listening to this situation, Liao Rong's business skills seem to be okay?
An Zhiwen sighed, "Mr. Jing, when Liao Rong was running the company, no matter what, she was my father-in-law's wife, so she managed many of the connections. Now I send professional managers to manage it, that is Business is business. So, everything goes from bad to worse.
Although I am gradually cleaning up Liao Rong's direct lineage from the Zhao Group, she can still get the news. After all, she has been in charge of the Zhao Group for many years. I agree with her strategy. The field of cultural tourism is a big cake. "
Jing Gao muttered: "Lao An, have you talked to Professor Zhao?"
An Zhiwen said: "No. Mr. Jing, there is no need to worry about my father-in-law's reaction. The legal person and shareholder of Zhao Group is still Zhao Shiyan. It is just left to me to manage, and there is no need to tell him about the adjustment of business and business strategies. I don't Just let Zhao Siyan’s assets shrink..."
Jing Gao smiled and shook his head. Lao An had such emotional intelligence, and said: "Lao An, you should ask for instructions when you should. Let's do this. You ask Professor Zhao first, and I will talk to Liao Rong in two days."
…
…
After Jing Gao and An Zhiwen finished talking, they happened to meet Weiwei coming out of the restaurant, holding her hand and talking alone, which happened to be seen by Xiang Xiuzhen.
"No more chatting. We'll have dinner around six o'clock. After dinner, we'll have a rest and it'll be almost time for the game to start at 8:15."
"Um."
In the corridor, Jing Gao let go of the slightly shy Li Mengwei's little hand. He didn't know yet that he "escaped" the disaster of being questioned.
Jing Gao had been surprised by Huang Mingyuan's arrogance in bringing an RV and a chef to Rongcheng, so he asked Xiao Qiao to hire two chef teams and rented storefronts to open two restaurants in the capital. One is a French-style Western restaurant named: Falou. One is a Chinese restaurant called: Yuchu.
The chef team of "Royal Chef" was called over to cook dinner. As for how much impact this restaurant's closure for one night will have on business, I don't care! It would be convenient for him to open a restaurant.
After a while, Xiao He came over to inform that the banquet was ready, and everyone went to the luxurious and bright restaurant.
A round table is used that can be rotated. There are 12 people in total today: Jing Gao, Li Mengwei, Tan Yingying, Li Na, Xiang Xiuzhen, Xie Dashao, Ye Zi, An Zhiwen, Zhang Jing, Bai Xingguo, Wei Caiyan, and Li Wei.
The exquisite dishes keep coming. Drinks and drinks are available for self-service. Red wine, rice wine, cola, freshly squeezed juice, and tea are all available.
"Thank you all so much for coming to the party today. Let's have a drink together! Get together for the weekend."
"cheers."
"cheers!"
Everyone raised their glasses.
Li Weidao: "Brother Jing, I heard from Assistant He that the dinner was cooked by the chef from Yuchu. This Chinese restaurant is very popular in Beijing now, and it's hard to find one. You can search it on Meituan-Dianping. I've always wanted to bring a girl with me My friends went to eat but couldn’t get a seat.”
Jing Gao said with a smile: "Ask Xiao He to help you book it. I will give everyone Xiao He's phone number later. If you want to experience it, you can ask Xiao He to help."
Talking, laughing, and chatting casually.
The topic first turned to tonight’s women’s volleyball final. The strength of the Chinese women's volleyball team is not outstanding. Of course, the names of coach Lang Ping and attacker Zhu Ting are known to people across the country. In comparison, the Chinese women's volleyball team is at a disadvantage against Serbia.
Then, the men talked about politics. The United Kingdom voted to leave the European Union in June, the United States has an election in November, and Ao Guanhai is resigning. The women talked about skin care, beauty, interesting things about school, etc.
Soon, the game begins. A group of people were sitting on the sofa in the large living room, watching the women's volleyball game together.
"CCTV, CCTV, hello viewers. Welcome to watch the women's volleyball championship match of the 31st Olympic Games that we brought to you in Rio. Today's match is between the Chinese women's volleyball team and the Serbian women's volleyball team..."
The Chinese Women's Volleyball Team let one chase two. After a long fierce battle, the Chinese Women's Volleyball Team came to the match point. At the beginning of the fourth game, the scores of both sides increased alternately, and the situation became extremely anxious.
Jing Gao sat on the sofa, took a sip of boiled water, and couldn't help but comment: "Although the relationship between Serbia and our country is very good, I still hope they lose quickly."
"Ah?" Several girls didn't understand. Watching this game is thrilling, I really didn’t know this.
Idaka Michichi: "Serbia is the only country in the Balkans that has not joined NATO. Because when they were in Yugoslavia, their capital Belgrade was bombed by NATO. The tombs of the three martyrs who were bombed in our embassy are still in the city of Belgrade. .”
Xie An said: "That thing is a national humiliation! What a bastard Yankee."
Bai Xingguo said: "The way of heaven is easy to repay, and China has the principle of retribution. People obey, and every man will take revenge!"
Jinggao nodded. If he had the chance, he would like to go to Serbia to lay wreaths for the martyrs. Some people always talk about male gods and male gods. Shit! It's just a shell of its appearance. I guess we don’t even know how the Americans bullied us a few years ago!
The deepest emotions of a great man must include "feelings for family and country." Because Shenhao is different from ordinary people. He does not have to worry or compromise for life! Have the time and energy to pursue spiritual needs.
Why do I always have tears in my eyes? It’s because I love this land so deeply!
And for those who lack this kind of emotion or want to be citizens of the earth, the Pacific Ocean is not covered, please!
While they were talking, the women's volleyball girls recovered two points in the fourth game, and then came that historic moment. Women's volleyball player Zhang Changning served, Serbia received the ball and passed the net. Hui Ruoqi reached out and smashed the ball into the opponent's court.
There was great joy inside and outside the stadium.
CCTV's commentary told us, "After twelve years, the Chinese women's volleyball team once again won the Olympic championship. This is the third championship for the Chinese women's volleyball team."
In the living room, everyone also cheered. Standing up to the majestic national anthem, emotions surged.
Thirty years ago, it was still the same old routine. The Chinese women's volleyball team beat the audience to tears, the Chinese table tennis team beat its opponents to tears, and the Chinese football team kept crying at home.
…
…
In the night, the stars shine.
Jing Gao and Li Mengwei sent their friends away together, and Xiao He also led others to clean up the living room and dining room.
There was silence in the courtyard, and the lights in the corridor were turned on, casting a soft light.
Jing Gao was holding Weiwei at the door, hugging her slender waist, watching the stars fall on her beautiful jade-like face. Today she was wearing a goose yellow T-shirt and cyan straight casual trousers, which showed off her graceful figure.
Li Mengwei snuggled into Jing Gao's arms, feeling his claws moving around. She looked at him with a pair of extremely charming peach blossom eyes and asked, "Did you cry just now?"
Jing Gao smiled and said, "Who can't help crying? There are tears on your face too." Hugging each other, listening to the quiet sound around them, "Weiwei, let's sleep."
Li Mengwei lowered her head shyly. She knew what her boyfriend was going to do to her. She couldn't refuse.
The luxurious bedroom uses an ancient Babu bed. After taking a shower one after another, Li Mengwei looked at the man who was looking down at her. That unhandsome face had been imprinted in her heart for some time. She forgot about it again and said affectionately: "Jing Xiaogao..."
At this time, Jing Gao realized that the reason he wanted to prepare was really nonsense. Because, no matter whether the women's volleyball team wins the championship or not, Weiwei will give it to him. And this call also made him understand the deep love this girl had for him.
Before the wedding ceremony, the love was so deep that it was hard to suppress it.
The hibiscus tent is warm all night.
