The head office of Yang Jiayan in Wangfujing is also the first Yang Jiayan restaurant. At present, eating at Yang's Family Banquet has become a somewhat obsessive consumption behavior in China.
Just like many people now feel that foreign food is good, and then they are particularly bourgeois and go to a Western restaurant to eat steak. In short, when you come to Yang's Family Banquet to eat, you will not only enjoy delicious food, but also a very satisfying sense of vanity.
For example, Yang Jiayan's oldest store in front of us is not large because there are many old houses around it, and the alley is too narrow for vehicles to enter.
You have to find a place to park at an intersection some distance away and then walk over. If it were another hotel, I'm afraid the business would have declined long ago. After all, people nowadays like convenience. If eating a meal is so troublesome, it is better to find a restaurant nearby.
But coming to the Yang Family Banquet is different. Usually you go to such a long distance to eat. Although you tell your friends it’s because that restaurant is delicious, some people will still wonder if you are short of money, so you find a remote restaurant to save money. money.
But if you say you are going to the Yang Family Banquet for dinner, you will instantly appear to be full of style. Especially if you can book a table to eat at an old restaurant, that's even more amazing. You must know that there are many people who are not short of money now, and some people really have a year-round meal.
Anyway, in addition to the special flavors of each restaurant, the other dishes at Yang's Family Banquet are rotated and you won't get tired of them. Thinking about it, it's really a good deal to have it for a year.
Song Lixing knew about the Yang Family Banquet, but he had never come here to spend money. He didn't know when it started, and he couldn't remember whether there was a real conflict or just some minor misunderstandings.
The relationship between him and Yang Dongxu has gradually become antagonistic. Although both sides are unhappy with each other at present, they have not yet reached the point of life and death. But it is obviously impossible to eat in a restaurant opened by Yang Dongxu.
Not only him, but no one in his entire small circle came to Yang's family banquet to spend money. This is just like Li Yihang and others never go to the clubs they run.
There are many circles like this in Yanjing. Although they are inextricably linked to each other privately. After all, they are in the same city and no one has many friends, but on the surface they maintain a clear distance.
This phenomenon is summed up as avoiding "king meets king", which is like Faye Wong and Tian Zhen, the two biggest queens in the music industry, who rarely perform on the same stage. Not to mention participating in any activities together, otherwise just the C position issue would be enough to cause headaches and heartache.
Therefore, it makes sense that the leaders of these circles do not meet. After all, everyone has the same energy. If we get into trouble over a trivial matter when we meet, it wouldn’t be worth it to get into a fight. If we don’t get involved, we might feel that we are losing face...
Under this default rule, Song Lixing suddenly took the initiative to make an appointment with Yang Dongxu, which was undoubtedly a preparation to put down his face. Although it is definitely not to the point of putting his face on the ground for Yang Dongxu to step on, it is certain that he will get hit invisibly.
Song Lixing could already imagine in his mind what those gossips would do when the gossip spread that he took the initiative to invite Yang Dongxu to dinner tomorrow and arranged for a dinner at Yang's family.
However, in such a depressed mood, when he saw Hong Changzhi who was following him with an expression that could be moved by his resignation, he felt that the loss of face was worth it.
Hong Changzhi is a good dog, especially since this dog is not only obedient and loyal, but has also caught rabbits for the Song family in recent years. Sometimes it's good to give some rewards at the right time, especially since the Song family doesn't have the final say yet, and it's not necessarily who will have the final say in the future.
At this time, being able to win over someone who can do something can be regarded as the next step in boredom. As for face, he actually wanted to see what Yang Dongxu looked like when he came over soon.
"Is there anything you want to eat, Mr. Song? The Anhui cuisine in this restaurant is the most authentic. Would you like to order some signature dishes to try?" The appointment time has not come yet, so Yang Dongxu hasn't come yet, but Song Lixing Came early. Therefore, Li Yihang, who also arrived early, was responsible for entertaining.
But Yang Dongxu couldn't do it when he was asked. Even though this time Song Lixing seemed to be the go-between when he asked Yang Dongxu to have dinner, the other party seemed to be begging him to do something.
After so many years of ups and downs, Li Yihang felt that he was lucky enough to meet Yang Dongxu. What made him feel the most improved over the years was that he saw himself clearly, or understood what level his status was.
So even if Song Lixing asked him to do something, he couldn't show off because he didn't have the qualifications. Those who should be accompanied by a smiling face should be accompanied by a smiling face. Don't end up doing your best and not getting any favors, but instead offending others.
"You've already ordered, but Mr. Yang hasn't come yet. Isn't it appropriate to order now?" The smile on Song Lixing's face made him feel very approachable.
But with such an approachable smile, his words are not so pleasant. If it really feels rude, then you should say 'Master Yang hasn't come yet, is it not appropriate to order now?'
This polite question was placed first, but Li Yihang was asked to order first, and then he said this sentence. What does this mean?
"It's okay, I often get together with Mr. Yang, and I know what he eats. And some dishes take time to prepare, so if Mr. Yang comes over early, you can eat them." Li Yihang said with a smile without changing his expression.
It seemed that there was nothing wrong with Song Lixing's words.
"Then just watch it." Song Lixing nodded calmly, as if it was just a trivial thing and he didn't care.
"Okay, I'll have some." Li Yihang stopped refusing, "I wonder if Mr. Song has any taboos?"
"There are no taboos. Just order according to your taste. I'm not picky about food." Song Lixing waved his hand to indicate that he didn't care.
But when he spoke, his eyes couldn't help but linger on Li Yihang's face for a moment. He knew about Li Yihang, but the Song family was now at its peak, while the Li family was in decline a generation ago.
After Li Yihang's troubles before, he almost lost it. So he didn't pay much attention to Li Yihang. Knowing that he was too conspicuous because of Yang Dongxu's sudden appearance, outsiders began to pay attention to who was around him, so Song Lixing reluctantly paid attention to Li Yihang.
After all, although Li Yihang has prospered with Yang Dongxu in the past few years, the originally half-dead villa is now one of the gathering places for Yanjing's top circles, attracting the attention of many people. Many minor characters are proud to be able to enter the villa, and many people who want to find connections want to attend the party at the villa.
But for Song Lixing, it was just like that. Just listen to a few words in front of the crowd. The two sides were not on the same level at all.
But after having some contact with Li Yihang today, he found that this person was quite interesting. For example, I was very particular about my words, not only did I not fall into the hole I dug myself.
The latter rhetorical question, which was very concerned about his thoughts, made things that should have offended him to save Yang Dongxu's face not make him feel any discomfort. This is undoubtedly a talent.
This made him a little more interested in Li Yihang, "I heard that you have made that Internet cafe alliance good business in the past few years?"
Li Yihang's face showed a hint of appropriate surprise, and he seemed a little excited that a young man like Song Lixing took the initiative to ask about his business. Even though Song Lixing is actually more than ten years younger than others.
"It's not bad. I can barely make ends meet. Those who make small fuss should not be judged by Young Master Song." Li Yihang said with a smile.
"You are making more than a billion this year. If this is just a small business, there will be no profitable business in the world." Hong Changzhi, who had been sitting silently at the side, said.
In fact, he knew that he was here to ask for help today, so he couldn't be too tit-for-tat. Of course, he didn't speak because he saw Song Lixing was interested in Li Yihang. As a loyal dog, he was jealous, so that the childish thoughts of a child would not appear on him. Otherwise, he, a rural boy with no identity and no background, who came from the mountains, would not be able to achieve what he has achieved now.
The reason why Li Yihang was choked with words was because he had noticed the amazing speed of making money in Internet cafes before. And he also invested some capital to try the water first, but was naturally squeezed out by Li Yihang unceremoniously.
What made him even more depressed was that not only was his business squeezed out by Li Yihang, but he was also warned by many people overtly and covertly. And if these people who warned him were people in Yang Dongxu's circle, they would definitely have done it before they said anything.
But some of the people who warned him were actually people in his own circle. It was only at that time that Hong Changzhi learned that the seemingly peaceful Internet Cafe Alliance had such a relationship in private.
"The total amount, the total amount, I only have some shares in it, and the other shareholders are very busy people and don't bother to care about such small things. I help manage the company. If all this money really belongs to me, then I will definitely I wake up laughing even when I go to sleep." Li Yihang still had a lot of smiles on his face.
Song Lixing, who was standing aside, couldn't help but feel a slight shock on his originally calm face after hearing that this Internet cafe that he didn't really care about had made more than a billion dollars a year. Although it was quickly covered up, it was indeed revealed.
But what he didn't know was that this so-called total amount was not the entire industry. This is just the money earned by the Internet Cafe Alliance.
Looking at the national Internet cafe industry, this is a large enterprise worth tens of billions or even hundreds of billions. If anyone has the ability to integrate the Internet cafe into his own hands, he will definitely be able to make a living.
However, people who are not familiar with this industry do not know much about this amazing market cake, otherwise they will definitely be shocked.
Since Song Lixing and the half-understanding Hong Changzhi didn't know clearly, Li Yihang naturally wouldn't explain it to them in a trance.
Order the dishes first.
Then the three people sat in the private room and chatted for a few words. The door of the private room was opened by the waiter and Yang Dongxu came in.
