That night, after attending the welcoming banquet, both Vanaba and Yetai rested in the hotel. They were tired from traveling and traveling, and had no interest in the beautiful scenery.
Wei Tao arranged cars and people to send Qiu Bo home, and Mira also officially came to visit.
Qiu Bo has been abroad for several years. Although his family was very unhappy with Wei Tao because of his father's kowtow to his brother, he later accepted Wei Tao's care.
There were two fresh fruit and vegetable supermarkets opened. Later, when the lottery station business was booming, Qiu Bo's father came to visit. Wei Tao helped him arrange a place and helped open a lottery station.
When their children are away from home, parents' understanding is to report good news but not bad news. Qiu Bo even once said that he was living a good life to comfort his parents at home. They also asked him to stop working and find an easier job there. Be good to your partner. There is no shortage of money at home and life is very good. Wei Tao has always been helping the family.
The previous conflicts were not between his family and Wei Tao, and Qiu Bo's parents were not people who couldn't tell right from wrong. They already knew who was truly good to them, so how could they confuse right and wrong and deliberately say something that was right and wrong.
Qiu Bo came back to surprise his family. After attending the banquet, he changed his clothes and went out to return home. It was almost seven o'clock.
In his fruit and vegetable supermarket, his parents had just prepared to eat. The TV hanging high on the wall was randomly playing local channels. Before five o'clock, some relatives' children came over to watch cartoons. After watching them, they did not turn them off. , just turn down the volume, no one will pay attention anymore.
After finishing the peak shopping period after get off work, I sat near the checkout counter, accompanied by two middle-aged women hired to do the shopping. A pot of pork belly stewed with beans and potatoes, and a serving of cucumbers mixed with spicy sauce. No. I couldn't afford good food, a normal meal. After working for more than an hour, I was tired. I didn't have the time to think about what to eat at night. I just wanted to fill my stomach at this moment.
Can you still not recognize your own son? Even if we haven’t seen each other for several years, we don’t know each other. What’s more, now that the Internet is developed, we have made videos more than once. Including Mira, we also met Qiu Bo’s parents in the video. We are not strangers, they are just officially in reality. It’s just that we haven’t met each other before.
The couple was so excited when their parents called out. It was the first time they saw their son's girlfriend. They didn't know where to put their hands. Even though they were working in the store, they couldn't keep themselves clean. It was such an occasion to see them. When they arrived at Mila, they came from such a family background. Both of them were a little embarrassed, and they were also afraid of embarrassing their son, so they had to blame the child for any sudden attack that left them unprepared.
Bringing back the money, bringing back the future daughter-in-law, and bringing back the dignity of returning to her hometown are full of face, especially Mira’s sweet love in front of Qiu Bo. This scene will make Qiu Bo feel satisfied. Relatives at home may also feel that Dabo is doing well outside.
He brought back a lot of gifts, and Mila's meeting gift was also valuable. Qiu Bo even gave his parents a bank card worth 500,000 yuan, a considerable part of which was the 'bonus' given to him by Ye Tai. This fruit in China is I didn’t expect the line to be so big. Even though it was mutually beneficial to both parties, Ye Tai was happy to let Qiu Bo take charge of this line. Man, it doesn’t matter if it’s almost. Once you have a career, at least the Mira family won’t It makes people think this is a waste.
Mira was capable, but she was born a daughter, and she had nearly a hundred cousins and brothers and sisters in her entire generation. Even if she had certain abilities, she could at most manage a little business within the family. As for what she was looking for, There is not much opposition in the family to the matter of marrying a Chinese wage earner. You are willing to take away the shares and property given to each direct bloodline by the family in advance. In the future, except for ancestor worship, you will have nothing to do with the family again. , even if you find a beggar, no one will pay attention to it.
Mira was unwilling but helpless. It was too difficult for a girl to have a place in that country and such a huge family. She chose to give up and chose a love that others did not understand. She just worked hard to take care of the family division. Give her a little business.
Fortunately, her brothers, sisters, parents and elders can still ensure her status as a direct bloodline of this family outside.
When cooperating with Ye Tai in the fruit business, the channels from the mysterious country of China were like gold-swallowing beasts. The number of cooperations continued to roll upwards every time. Ye Tai did not expect that this idle move would lead to a new direction in his career.
So this time, Mira's uncle came to China. This man was the backbone of the family. He was in charge of many businesses and had great say. He took the initiative to talk to Qiu Bo about his niece's marriage. This made Qiu Bo and Mira feel as if they had taken Shunqi pills. Their bodies were clear and they felt that what they had always thought was not perfect was beginning to take shape. Perfect opportunity.
That night, Qiu Borong returned to his hometown, turned around, and all his relatives were present. Mira's generous and decent response in front of others also made Qiu Borong completely satisfied with his vanity. His lover did not despise the ordinary family background, which was already in his heart. The biggest heart knot is solved.
As for who Mira is, there was a replay on the TV news, and those who paid special attention could find the scene. When Qiu Bo came back, it was the leader of Songjiang who picked him up, or he took a private jet. They didn't understand the twists and turns. It is enough to know that Dabo is really promising now.
After having a meal with their relatives and friends at home, Mira and Qiu Bo quickly got up and headed to the fruit and vegetable distribution center in the afternoon.
He Haitao himself never thought that reciprocating favors would be so fun. He originally thought that Wei Tao could stabilize the market by not eating alone, so it would be okay for his family to be the dominant one. However, in the end, this distribution center became the basis for Songjiang's cooperation with foreign companies. Provincial leaders also came over in the morning and accompanied Chairman Wanaba and Chairman Yetai from Taiguo to inspect the distribution center.
When Qiu Bo was at home, he and Wei Tao came to this fruit wholesale market. Over the past few years, the market has changed a lot. In addition to the renovation of the old warehouse, the newly built warehouses all reflect modern functions, including a cold storage and a fresh-keeping warehouse. They all give people a scale that is far beyond what such a small city has.
When it comes to throwing money, Mr. Wei is professional.
When He Haitao came, his face was a little ugly. In contrast, looking at the road at the door, it was not worthy of such a modern distribution center.
The high-standard cement floor on the ground, the arrangement of the drainage system is very advanced, and the garbage classification and processing of the entire distribution center is even more impressive. Comparing the garbage stations in residential areas outside with this one, there is a huge difference.
The construction has not yet been completely completed. Looking at the current construction materials and construction waste, a discerning person can tell that it is not a prestige project to meet the inspection. All the equipment and individuals of the construction unit are constructing in an orderly manner and at a fixed pace, including the inspection team. The car drove in, saw the guidance signs on the ground, and saw the parking standards for construction vehicles and private vehicles here. I was really embarrassed to park at will in the spacious yard. After putting down the members of the inspection team, the car started and parked automatically. Within the marked lines, park like other vehicles.
“This is comparable to the distribution center of the Lion City.”
That small country is the most livable and the best country in Southeast Asia. It is excellent in all aspects. And this small northeastern city with China's backward economy actually has such a small town that is not big in scale but faces all standards. Both Wanaba and Ye Tai praised it as the distribution center of Lion City.
The road out the back door is adjacent to the railway. You can ride directly to the train station without affecting the passenger transport. It is a road specially built for freight. One car can enter and exit, which saves links and saves the congestion time of picking up and transporting goods in the downtown area. , from here, you can disperse to every corner of the city faster.
Liu Lei was the main introducer today. He stood in front of the distinguished guests, He Haitao and people from the provincial capital, and introduced the arrangements of the entire distribution center to everyone in detail.
Ye Tai was very interested in being able to receive fruits from the port at the fastest speed through railway transportation. Spring, summer and autumn were fine, and road transportation was not greatly affected. But in winter, the amount of out-of-season fruits consumed in the Northeast made him worry. Astonishing, transportation is undoubtedly a very critical link.
There is no working meal at noon, and Vanaba is not a pampered person. He can be very down-to-earth when he really works. If we haven’t finished the tour, we will continue to visit. We will also eat the meals provided by the construction here.
Testing a place's basic food standards is also a way to test the core competitiveness of a partner. Although it is not accurate, it can reflect the partner's advantages in certain aspects.
Liu Lei suggested making some bland or sweet meals individually, but Wei Tao simply waved his hand and refused, saying, don't worry about it, everyone will eat whatever is eaten here.
Although sometimes it is not necessarily necessary to show the truest side stubbornly, but if our true side has advantages here, then why have to add superfluous things.
Braised herring, musu pork, and a Northeastern cucumber peel. The sesame sauce is very strong. The Wanaba people who thought they were not used to it ate it with gusto. They also gave thumbs up to the taste of Northeastern rice. The taste needs to be adapted. , there is never a shortage of appreciators for delicious food.
The rich taste brought by the sesame sauce, the chili oil fried in the big pot has a spicy and appetizing effect, and the pulled skin is wrapped in a layer of sesame sauce and dipped in the chili oil. The taste is so rich that Ye Tai even specially served a cucumber cold dish. , eating it as a unique vegetable salad that he recognized.
Even people from the province are asking privately whether the ordinary working meals here are really of this standard every day?
He Haitao had a certain right to speak, and he smiled and nodded in the affirmative.
Throughout the day, TV stations followed for filming and interviews. In the afternoon, the team went to the 'Fresh Times' fruit and vegetable supermarket and asked the Anshun Group in advance to choose a place. Wei Tao gave one of the two stores at the inspection location. The other shop owned by Qiu Bo's parents was given to his aunt's shop.
The brother returned to his hometown in honor and wanted to show off his power. Put aside the foreign guests and people from the province for the time being, Qiu Bo and Liu Lei followed He Haitao and introduced the 'fresh time' operation model and tropical fruits. Reporters carrying cameras have been filming the sales situation. The local news tonight will definitely be on it. Even the evening news on the provincial-level satellite TV station will have today's scene.
Vanaba also had a few words with Qiu Bo's parents. As a businessman in the family, he was not so deeply opposed to the obstacles of maintaining family status. Since his niece has already discussed marriage with this Qiu Bo, as an elder, When you come to the other party's home, some customs may be different, but it is not difficult to show some enthusiasm.
The relatives of Qiu Bo's family had not left since lunch. Seeing such a formation in the afternoon, they all naturally acted as onlookers. The smiles on their faces never stopped and the praises on their lips never stopped. The smiles on the faces of Qiu Bo's parents were astonishing. It didn't stop until the inspection team left, and the couple became the center of everyone's attention. All kinds of flattery words came one after another, making the two of them feel as if they were in a cloud, feeling that life was nothing more than this.
At another New Times store, my uncle Zhao Fenghua had prepared it early. Today, he has also restored the posture he had when he was still in the system. He went to the barber shop to take care of his hair, blowing it back and styling it into a slicked back.
Wearing trousers, leather shoes, and a white shirt, he could have put on his tie if his wife hadn't stopped him.
This shape is not particularly out of the ordinary. Those who are near the water and the terrace have the first moon, and they have a kinship relationship. Aunt Zhou Xingrong took great care of Wei Tao when he was a child. When Wei Tao became prosperous, he had some special care for his aunt and fourth aunt's family. Now the aunt's family is like this The store is already one of the largest in the store, employing five or six clerks. It is true that Zhao Fenghua does not need to do it himself. As a boss, he can just come and take a look every day. It doesn't matter if he is dressed like this.
Zhao Fenghua used to be a junior deputy section chief under the forestry department. For He Haitao's level, he was at the far-viewing level back then. Today, he was able to stand up close and introduce his store. He didn't sleep well after receiving the news last night. He spent the whole morning with me. The clerk also went out to hire a few housekeeping cleaners. For him personally, being on TV and giving this introduction is definitely a highlight in his life and career planning, even more so than this year. How much money was made.
He Haitao admired Wei Tao in his heart. They said that Mr. Wei relied on his power to get the title of Songjiang Fruit King. Look at this 'fresh time', with so many stores and such strong digestion ability, from wholesale to direct sales. The camp is now in the hands of the common people, holding this channel with their hands. If there is another fruit king, there must be two tigers fighting and one of them will be injured. The whole market and the people of Songjiang will suffer the loss.
Now it's not just the fruit king. Looking at the large wholesalers of vegetables in the distribution center, you can tell from a few words about He Haitao today that Wei Tao doesn't need to suppress them forcefully, and he can control them all quietly.
The projects to be visited are indeed limited. Even though the mountains and rivers are beautiful, people like Vanaba are not here to enjoy the sights. Tomorrow morning they will discuss cooperation with Anshun Group, and in the afternoon, there will be a negotiation meeting for investment intentions. Songjiang officials want to win over Vanaba's family's investment plan in China, but at present, there is little hope.
He Haitao could see that they came with a purpose, and what they wanted was far beyond what he could give at his level. Even if he could negotiate or facilitate some negotiations, he had no leverage or capital.
Although the place is small, it belongs to a large aristocratic family in the country. If they want to discuss some serious projects, they must have corresponding status and resources. What resources does Songjiang have? Can it only rely on Wei Tao? A good distribution center? Why do people travel thousands of kilometers to invest in a place like yours where the investment environment is not that good?
"Congratulations Shuji, Mr. Wei is treating guests to roasted whole lamb at his home in Anshun Group tonight."
After He Haitao got the news, he was silent for a long time. He didn't know what he was thinking, but he made a phone call to Wei Tao by accident. It was this phone call that allowed him to witness the unusual take-off of this city during his tenure in Songjiang for several years.
In the sunroom on the sixth floor, the outside is not suitable at this time of year, and the mosquito bites cannot be tolerated.
In the sun room, there is a rippling swimming pool, a completely Western-style pool party mode, a self-service barbecue mode where everyone sits together, and a roasted whole lamb served with everyone holding a knife. Qiu Bo explained to Mira and others, For us, we only invite really close friends to our home.
No matter how expensive you are, there are hotels, restaurants and clubs of various grades outside. Only good friends will entertain you at home.
Vanaba and Yetai have never seen anything, no matter how high-end it is, it will not feel special to them. Only this kind of reception in the style of family and friends makes them feel better.
Vanaba is a middle-aged man with a very typical Southeast Asian appearance. He has just gained weight and looks a little more wealthy. He admits frankly that he doesn’t know what he is doing. The business below has cooperation with the province, so the people below him can talk directly. Yes, when drinking with Wei Tao, he bluntly stated that he might just want to get to know you, Mr. Wei.
"There may be arrangements somewhere. Mr. Vanaba, my abilities are limited, but I have some friends who may not let you down. Although Songjiang is small, it can be a place to discuss things."
If this was not Songjiang, but a big city like Yanjing Magic City, then nothing would be a problem. It would be normal to go to the city in vain. It is impossible for any cooperation to be decided on a hot head. We still have to do many things many times. consultation.
It's just that being in Songjiang seems a bit wrong. Vanaba also feels the same. It seems that I went to a remote area of China for a matter that has no explanation at all. What kind of business can I do here? If we are in a big city, it makes sense for me to come here for a visit and some investigation. What can I inspect here? Can it have any other contacts with our family's business?
Even if it comes to fruits, if the family gets involved and cooperates with Yetai to create a larger scale, then all they need is Yetai coming over, or sending someone from the family over and asking Gompa to cooperate with Mira. This kind of thing can be done beautifully.
After Wei Tao took the initiative to mention it, they had a very happy dinner and drank good wine. What they talked about was no secret. The other day, the old cows who produced dairy products in the grassland, the English Yu from the English training institution , together with several bosses, were invited to Songjiang.
Some members of the Bao family, Xu family, Sun family, and Yan family in Yanjing, although they are not in their positions, are players who can do some negotiation work on behalf of their family relatives, and they have also come to Songjiang. Vanaba wants to develop the tourism industry. I won’t discuss tourism cooperation with you in detail right now. Can we talk about other cooperation? If you are interested, these people will help you. As long as you think that in-depth cooperation in the Chinese market is the future trend, although Songjiang is small and Wei Tao is young, there is no problem in building a smaller game.
After treating the guests to dinner that night, the guests were sent away. Grandma Cao Xiyu missed her granddaughter. Wei Tao accompanied her downstairs and sent her to the dormitory for one night. He was wearing slippers, sweatpants and a sweatshirt, with a look of drinking on his face. With a rosy face and a cigarette in his mouth, Wei Tao turned on the phone. He had saved up such a game, so he didn't let it go for nothing. First, he asked Guan Jinyue to find two senior professional screenwriters in Yanjing. He found them today and they will be there tomorrow. Let them come to Songjiang.
From the side back door of No. 1 Anshun Street, within three or two minutes of making a phone call, we arrived at the back corner door of the rest house.
Along this way, Anshun Street is quite lively at night. Even though it is close to ten o'clock, in front of small supermarkets and small restaurants, under the street lights, there are still people enjoying the cool weather sitting together chatting or playing cards. The smell of toilet water is diffused, and you can smell it as you walk. get.
There are mosquitoes flying around, and I am used to going out at night to chat, walk, play cards and chess, but at night I can't sit still at home. If I don't stay downstairs until bedtime, I can't find my way home.
Wei Tao did not enter the house, and the corridor light was on. He drank wine and it was late, so he did not disturb the two elderly people and asked Cao Xiyu to chat with his grandma. When he was sleepy, the grandfather and grandson were on the same bed. Fell asleep. Wei Tao has always admired Cao Xiyu's education for the children of this big family. It is very good. It has both a majestic side and a comfortable feeling among friends. When Cao Xiyu's generation grows up, every young person will be filial, regardless of whether they are outstanding or not. In terms of communication and communication with elders, they are all done very well.
Conversations like this between grandfather, grandson, father, son, mother and daughter are rare to see in other families, but in the Cao family, it is common.
'Fresh Times' is brightly lit. The mother of the Pang family, Pang Yan, still lives here. She doesn't go to the new house, nor does she live with her daughter and son-in-law. She still likes to lively and noisy here until late every day. Her daughter, Pang Chunyu, The newlyweds Wang Peng and Wang Peng are both honest people. They usually have nothing to do and don't leave early at night.
Wei Tao came out of the dormitory, and the two of them were about to drive home. When they saw him coming, Wang Peng quickly turned off the car: "Wei...Mr. Wei..."
Wei Tao smiled: "You two don't have to worry about me. Go home and rest. You have to get up early tomorrow morning."
Wang Peng wanted to say something else, but his wife Pang Chunyu held him by the side and stopped him from talking. The more nervous he became, the worse his stuttering became. Gratitude is not something that is said, but something done. We just need to do our jobs well.
After seeing the two driving away, Wei Tao opened the door and entered the house.
The room was very lively. There were three tables of normal neighbors and guests playing mahjong, and two tables of relatives. In another room, there was another table drinking. For family members gathering here, not to mention Wei Tao, even The neighbors nearby have become accustomed to it. From time to time, everyone gets along well, catches up, and has a few sips. That is normal.
Zhao Fenghua didn't drink too much today, but he was in good spirits. It was rare to see him talking at his wife's house. As a former cadre, he looked down on his relatives at his wife's house. In recent years, It is a gradual change, and he has become able to get along with everyone, and even his brothers and sisters actually have to rely on this relationship to take care of him.
"Xiao Tao is here." Zhao Fenghua, who was making gestures and talking eloquently, saw Wei Tao and subconsciously stopped talking and stood up to say hello. He used to be convinced, but today he felt a different scenery. Wei Tao was so rich before. It's the same thing. After all, Zhao Fenghua has also been in the system, and he still has a thought pattern ingrained in his heart. The only ones who are really superior are people like He Haitao.
I didn’t have a deep experience before I went to sea. I have been doing small business for more than ten years with ups and downs. I regret my original decision. I don’t know if I don’t go out. I am the best in official clothes. Today he was very satisfied with his highlight. The key was that he saw Wei Tao's ease and ease in front of He Haitao. Even the director he admired most in the past had never had such grace. The subtle influence of several years has happened today. a qualitative change.
In the past few years, I have also learned that I rely on my wife and nephew to make a fortune. I have respect and flattery, but most of the time, I still have some care as an elder. There are some things that my wife has to say and my son has to say. Today's scene is different from what he heard before. He saw it with his own eyes. The feeling was too great. Now, he completely regarded Wei Tao as a banner among all his relatives. He was in every household. They can all get along very well with the light; it is best if we can understand what he says and does. If we cannot understand, it is because we are not at a high level, and we do not need to understand. We just need to be obedient.
Wei Tao was also stunned for a moment, but he returned to normal in an instant. He walked a few steps and greeted his relatives who were drinking and chatting at the table and came from various houses when they saw him coming. Facing his cousin-in-law Zhang Jian, he stepped aside and stood aside. I didn't excuse myself from drinking tonight, so I sat down. No need to talk now, there was already a quick-responsive girl, sister-in-law, etc., so I went to get a new set of bowls and came over quickly.
"Come, let me pour a glass of wine for my nephew tonight."
Zhou Xingrong, who was chatting with her sisters on the electric heated kang, couldn't help but smile when she saw her husband like this. She didn't mean anything else. She just thought it was good. How much money she made was one thing. At least her family was happy now. When it comes to matters big or small at home, the husband no longer argues, but obeys more. It is understandable that I was so touched by him today. I tossed and turned all night last night, muttered something in my mouth, got up several times and paced back and forth in the living room. The nervousness and excitement were intertwined. Today I saw Wei Tao's sway. Even Zhou Xingrong felt unfamiliar with Zhao Fenghua's comfortable appearance. After all, no matter how rich and prosperous his nephew was, many of them were told by others, but today he saw it with his own eyes.
Faced with Zhao Fenghua's sudden enthusiasm, no one seemed to think anything of it. Wei Tao raised his wine glass to the mouth of the bottle from which his uncle was pouring wine, and took half of the glass: "Uncle, okay, okay, I have something to do tomorrow. , can’t drink too much.”
are you happy? Wei Tao was very happy.
The external sense of accomplishment is external, and the external vanity satisfaction is also external. He has been through hardships since childhood and has a strong self-esteem. He will always have some inferiority complex. He is the same with everyone and he also longs for others. recognition and let others praise him as a useful person.
The living conditions at my aunt's house were good. When I was a kid, I would go there occasionally and I would be at a loss. I still remember that the first time I used a flush toilet was at my aunt's house, and the first time I ate crab was at my aunt's house. It left a deep impression on me to this day. I can't forget how I looked like I had never seen the world.
And my eldest uncle Zhao Fenghua always dresses very formally and looks like a successful person, even though the image of the seemingly omnipotent big shot has long since disappeared. From the moment he really entered the society, he knew that it was just the inexperience of the world when he was a child. But at this moment, Wei Tao still felt very happy to be able to do this to the other party. He gained a great sense of vanity satisfaction and found some success value for his efforts.
