Jiangnan Club, a relatively legendary club in Hangzhou, has witnessed the ups and downs of countless bosses and young men in Hangzhou and still remains standing.
Legend has it that for those who can go to the few Accords behind the Jiangnan Club, just a promotion will be enough for you to live in Hangzhou for a lifetime. In short, those who can eat in Accord are either rich or noble.
Today, the Accord, which is hidden in the shade behind the clubhouse, was cleaned several times. General Manager Ge Hong, who has gradually lowered his profile over the years and rarely appears outside, personally prepared the dishes.
The waiters were all nervous, wondering what important guests were coming today.
The first person who drove into the club, instead of parking in the parking lot, drove directly to the entrance of the Accord was a very impressive off-road Wrangler.
A rather rough and arrogant middle-aged man stepped out of the car. Ge Hong smiled and hurriedly greeted him, "Well done, Mr. Wang."
"Am I here early?" Wang Gang looked around and asked with a smile.
"It's not early, it's just right. You can sit in the room for a while, and the bosses will be here soon." Ge Hong smiled and led Wang Gang inside.
Although the originally curious waiter had a professional smile on his face and the service was quite professional, he was a little distracted in his mind, wondering who this young man was and why he was so valued by his own general manager.
Then within ten minutes, several more cars stopped outside the Accord. However, compared to Wang Gang, who was first welcomed in by his own general manager, these guys are older.
Seeing that the manager still went out to greet him in person, some of the waiters following him couldn't help but secretly glance at the older customers.
"Boss Zong."
"And Boss Lu."
"Boss Dong is here too."
"The guy who looked like an alien just now seems to be Ma Fengyun. I often see news about him on the Internet. When we buy things online, it seems that he is the one who opened the store."
"Who is the fatter one?"
"I've never seen this before." Seeing the boss welcoming the guests in, several beautiful reception ladies standing at the door couldn't help but discuss in a low voice.
They had often seen Boss Zong's guests before, but the times they came together were few and far between. Basically, one or two of them would have dinner here, and then find a massage technician with good techniques to relax.
It's not often that we arrive together, let alone today we can't help but arrive together, and there are several important guests we don't know. Although I don't know each other, if I can arrange to have dinner with these big guys, my status is either rich or noble.
While several people were discussing in low voices, suddenly a colleague coughed in a low voice, and then several greeters immediately stood up with smiles on their faces.
General manager Ge Hong, who originally led a few guests in, got the report from the security guard in front and ran out in a hurry. The receptionist girl looked towards the parking space and saw no car coming in.
Then I looked at the separate road leading to the Accord, and there was no sign of a car. I was a little confused for a moment, feeling that I had made a mistake somewhere.
You can see that the general manager is constantly arranging the sleeves and collar, as if he is worried about making mistakes. They looked at their noses with their eyes, their noses and their hearts, with professional smiles on their faces and their bodies standing straight. About two or three minutes later, three large cars drove in. First, bodyguards in suits and ties got out of the two cars.
Then after a long run in the middle, the left door opened, and a man younger than the first guest walked out.
The moment I saw the man, I didn't know whether it was because of his identity or the aesthetic sense of the few reception girls. They all felt that this man was so handsome, and then a common question emerged in his mind, "Which restaurant is this?" This is such a big poker venue.”
As waiters at the Accord, they have not only seen the famous young men in Hangzhou, but also the real big guys who meet here in a low-key manner after get off work.
But neither the young master nor the low-key boss has the aura of the one in front of him.
"Good evening, Mr. Yang." Ge Hong greeted him with a smile on his face, and his smile seemed more lively than before.
"Hello, Mr. Ge, Mr. Ge's style is still the same." Yang Dongxu smiled and shook Ge Hong's hand.
"I can't do it anymore. I'll work for a few more years and prepare to retire." Ge Hong said with a smile.
To be honest, Ge Hong felt that he was not old at first. After all, a man in his 50s was in his prime. But comparing with Yang Dongxu, Ge Hong couldn't help but sigh.
After all, anyone who sees Yang Dongxu will only feel that everyone's young master has returned from his studies and begun to learn to take over the family business. I never imagined that this person was actually a giant beast hidden in the deep water.
At my current age, I originally felt that my achievements were pretty good, and I could be considered a successful person. But comparing it with Yang Dongxu's age and achievements, I instantly felt a bit heartbroken and had the urge to retire.
Instead of working hard, planting flowers, raising fish, and walking birds seems pretty good.
"If Mr. Ge retires, Hangzhou will be less exciting." Yang Dongxu said.
"There is no three points of excitement. Being able to give one point of thin noodles already shows that I, Ge Hong, have been a good person in this life and have been very lucky." Ge Hong said modestly.
To be honest, Ge Hong thought he was also the number one person back then. First he was a soldier, and then he changed careers. When he changed careers, his military rank was still high. I worked in a government department for a while.
In the 1980s, when there was a big wave of employment, I resigned and joined the industry. I did a lot of things and even had a sword fight with someone head-on. After all, in the years before the crackdown, no matter what business you did, without mentioning your reputation and ruthlessness, your family fortune would have been wiped out by those street gangsters.
Later, I met a noble man and started to change my career to open restaurants and hotels. Later, I imitated the business model of those clubs in Yanjing and opened the Jiangnan Club.
At first I didn't want to make money from this, I just wanted to expand my connections and improve my class and worth.
Unexpectedly, if I plant flowers intentionally, I will not be able to plant them, but if I plant willows unintentionally, I will be able to create shade. Other businesses that I worked hard for were losing more and more every year. On the contrary, Jiangnan Club, which was not prepared to make money, became frustrated.
Later, he simply stopped all other businesses and concentrated on running this club. It seems that I don't make as much money as before, but after building connections, I feel more like a person than before.
Mr. Ge from the Jiangnan Club is full of inquiries in Hangzhou. Whether it is official status or social status, he has to give a bit of favor. Now he is also regarded as the number one person in Hangzhou.
But this can be regarded as a comparison between Number One and Yang Dongxu... Forget it, if people want to be more liberal, they can't always be at odds with themselves.
"Master Yang."
"Boss Zong!"
"Master Yang."
"Boss Lu."
"Mr. Dong."
When you walk into the house, you will see a very elegantly decorated living room, with a fireplace and no air conditioning on. It looks very nice.
The weather today is also very good. It was gloomy when I came here. After saying hello and sitting down, snowflakes were actually falling outside.
It doesn’t snow every year in Hangzhou. Occasionally it snows in winter, which is two or three light snowfalls but not too heavy. So snow is quite strange for people in Hangzhou.
"The auspicious snow promises good luck, and there will definitely be a good year next year," Ma Fengyun said.
Don't look at it now that Ma Fengyun has become famous on the Internet. He no longer has to give lectures and become a master of successful chicken soup essays. But in front of the people here, he can only be regarded as a younger brother.
Not to mention anything else, even Miao Shan, who was sitting next to Yang Dongxu, had a higher status than him.
After all, in addition to being a courier for online shopping, Miaoshan is also one of the top three transportation tycoons in the country. There are four super large logistics parks all over the world, with more than 200,000 employees, not counting the courier boys who account for a large number of them.
At the beginning of autumn this year, we built a very large beef and mutton transfer station in Inner Mongolia. The business was much better than the current one.
The only one here, Wang Gang, who is not doing well in business, his grandfather is a high-level military officer, let alone my wife, who used to be the official in charge of the whole country.
No matter how much one's identity is used, one can win over others. Accumulating money to a certain extent can indeed increase one's worth and status. But there are some identities and statuses that cannot be piled up with money.
For example, Yang Dongxu is now very rich, or super rich. From the perspective of monetary assets alone, he can compete with those plutocrats.
But if they were simply rich, let alone money, Wang Gang in front of them would never respect him as much as they do now.
The reason why he was called "Young Master Yang" by young men like Wang Gang was because of his accumulated connections, which were almost as good as Mount Tai. Not only does he have an excellent impression among senior officials, but in terms of personal relationships, whether in the military or official career, he has a lot of favors.
So not only Wang Gang, but also Wang Gang's grandfather, Yang Dongxu, could sit at the table and have a drink with each other. Such deep personal connections and such a strong background. That's why young men like Wang Gang also call him "Young Master Yang".
In Yanjing City, even a big family like the Song family, not only Song Lixing, must maintain superficial politeness and politeness when meeting. Sometimes when attending some economic symposiums and meeting Mr. Song Lixing, the other party would also talk to him with a smile.
"It's colder this year than last year. It's starting to snow in Hangzhou at this time. I don't know if there will be more snow. To be honest, it was still snowing over there in Inner Mongolia half a month ago. It was snowing there suddenly. It’s still a bit uncomfortable to get used to arriving in Hangzhou,” Miao Shan said with a smile.
Now wearing a Tang suit, he seems to be a little fatter than when I saw him before. I wonder if the cattle and sheep in Inner Mongolia are too nutritious, making Miaoshan more and more like a man with a neck thicker than a human waist. Rich man.
"The winter over there is indeed too long. It starts snowing almost as soon as it enters winter." The person who spoke was Feng Lun, who was gentle with eyes.
He was brought here by Dong Li. Today was originally a small gathering initiated by Boss Zong. Dong Li said he would bring a friend over. Then when Yang Dongxu answered the phone, he happened to be drinking tea with Miao Shan and Ma Fengyun, so he told the two of them to come over and join in the fun.
Speaking of Feng Lun, many people may not know him, but when it comes to Wan Xing Six Gentlemen, he is a well-known person in the real estate industry. And Feng Lun is the first of the six gentlemen.
Some people even call Wanxing the 'Whampoa Military Academy' of China's real estate industry, because after the Six Gentlemen made their fortune, they basically became big names in the real estate industry.
