After lunch in the factory, Li Xiucheng handed Duoduo to Yanzi.
Then he took Hu Changan and went straight to the Beimen River Beach.
"Brother Xiucheng, you are dressed so seriously, is it possible that you are going on a blind date?"
Hu Changan was full of questions.
"You're such a big-headed ghost."
Li Xiucheng smiled lightly: "I'm going to deal with Xiao Daguang today!"
"Deal with him?"
Hu Changan scratched the back of his head: "What can I do?"
Li Xiucheng asked, "Do you know what Xiao Daguang does?"
"You are a businessman. I heard that I started my business by opening a brewery in the 1970s. Later, I bought the building of the old grain station, then opened a restaurant and a video studio, and drove a big car a few years ago."
"Am I right?"
Hu Changan said with a proud look.
"That's half right. You entered the city late and all you heard were superficial stories."
As Li Xiucheng walked away, he said: "Xiao Daguang is indeed a talent, but he is too crazy."
“In my early years, I made a fortune by opening a brewery and built a three-story ocean-going building with white ceramic tiles on the outside.
"In that period, it was just a big mansion."
"Later, through good relations with relevant departments, we acquired the old grain station building and opened the Hongyun Hotel."
"There is also a Toyota Crown."
"Everyone who comes in and out of Hongyun Hotel is a dignitary."
"But it was not prosperous for a few years. In the spring of reform in 1982, a "bad spring cold" came! ""
"The working group was stationed in Xingrong City due to speculation. I was worried about who to target. When I turned around, I saw Xiao Daguang's Dayang Building."
"Anyone who lives in such a nice house must be a capitalist!"
"With just such a sentence, Xiao Daguang suffered a disaster."
"In those days, the policy was unclear. It was said that as long as the red line was not touched, independent entrepreneurship was encouraged."
"But no one knows where the red line is."
"Most people like Xiao Daguang, who are the first batch of entrepreneurs to do business, always check everything accurately."
"So, Xiao Daguang was soon sentenced to ten years in prison for following the capitalist line and illegally appropriating state-owned assets."
"Fortunately, after just two years of detention, there were new changes in the policies above, and Xiao Daguang was able to be released early."
"But after Xiao Daguang's accident, the government and business circles who had had anything to do with him all cut ties with him for fear of implicating themselves."
"As a result, the business of Hongyun Hotel will plummet."
"It hasn't gotten better until now."
After listening to what Li Xiucheng said.
Hu Changan was stunned, "Brother Xiucheng, how do you know so much?"
"Do you think I've spent the past few years eating and drinking outside in vain?"
"But...even if Xiao Daguang's hotel business is not good, he may not give you a billiards hall for free."
Hu Changan still doesn't quite understand.
"Haha, he not only knows how to give it away, he also begs for it!"
As Li Xiucheng spoke, he looked up and saw a printing shop in front of him.
"I'll tell you slowly later."
Went in immediately.
In this day and age, printers are a rare thing.
In the entire Xingrong City, apart from a few large state-owned factories, there is only this photo studio in the city center, which is considered the only business.
See Li Xiucheng come in.
The shop assistant glanced at him a little haughtily and continued to watch TV.
Until a hundred dollar bill, bang! With a thud, he threw it on the counter.
The guy quickly adjusted his glasses and asked with a smile: "Are you taking pictures or printing?"
"Print some information."
Li Xiucheng took a look and saw that there was a computer in the store, and immediately asked: "Can you combine photos here?"
"Okay, but the price is a bit expensive, five yuan a piece."
"Okay, I'll make two later."
It was already five o'clock in the afternoon when Li Xiucheng came out of the printing shop with a document bag.
"Just these few pieces of paper and a few photos cost nineteen yuan!"
"This is simply a money grab!"
Hu Changan's face was filled with pain.
"Don't feel bad, these nineteen yuan can be exchanged for a building in Xiao Daguang!"
Li Xiucheng patted the document bag.
Then he warned: "You will have to look at my face later. Remember, I am Mr. Li now."
"Oh...remember."
Hu Changan is also an old actor, and he immediately understood that Li Xiucheng asked him to be the trustee again.
It’s just that I used to deceive passers-by who I didn’t know.
It seems that the person he wants to deceive now is Xiao Daguang, a well-known wealthy businessman...
Thinking of this, Hu Changan felt a little urgent to urinate.
Not long after,
The two came to Xiao Daguang's Hongyun Hotel.
The first floor of the hotel is a tea room and chess and card room.
The second floor is a restaurant and private rooms. The decoration is considered high-end in this era, but it is a bit outdated.
After Li Xiucheng took Hu Changan in, he found a seat not far from the counter and sat down by the window.
at this time,
Xiao Daguang held two walnuts in his hand, sitting on the rocking chair at the counter and dozing off. From the outside, he could only see a bare head rising and falling.
After sitting down, a little girl came over and asked, "Are you two going to eat or drink tea?"
"Qie Cha Ga San Hu."
"What?"
The little girl was slightly startled.
Obviously didn't understand.
At the same time, Xiao Daguang's eyes opened slightly behind the counter.
Others can't understand it, but he has met a lot of outsiders over the years he opened a restaurant, so he can tell that this must be Shanghainese!
Hu Changan said hurriedly: "Our President Li said he would just drink tea and chat."
"Oh, then...what kind of tea do you drink?"
The little girl became a little nervous.
Li Xiucheng put the folder on the table, pretended to read the information attentively, and said without raising his head: "Shenbian..."
"Mr. Li said it's okay, then let's have two cups of Tieguanyin."
While Hu Changan was speaking, he angrily took out a hundred-dollar bill from his pocket and placed it on the table.
"Okay, coming right away."
The little girl picked up the money with both hands, turned around respectfully and left.
Under the table, Hu Changan pinched his thigh, feeling really distressed.
One hundred yuan. For the first time in his life, he spent money without asking the price... He didn't know how much a cup cost.
"Calm down and continue acting as promised..."
Li Xiucheng comforted him in a voice that only the two of them could hear.
"Ahem..."
Hu Changan hurriedly pushed himself over and said, "Mr. Li, you didn't even take a break. You came here right after you got off the plane."
"No, I can't rest until things are arranged."
"Then come here this time, do you have any other requirements from the head office?"
"There is only one requirement. Money is not an issue. We must spend big money to do big things. To make our Jianpai Cup Billiards Competition more influential, we must have the same standards as those in Beijing!"
"This is absolutely no problem. I have already contacted the Youth League Municipal Committee. They can arrange and provide us with a competition venue. We have several options now. We will meet with the Youth League Municipal Committee tonight to discuss the specific details."
"Well, Xiao Hu did a good job. After the Jianpai Cup Billiards Competition is completed, I will suggest to the head office that you be transferred there. Next year, we will do the European market with me."
"Really? Thank you, Mr. Li! Thank you, Mr. Li!"
"..."
Just when Li Xiucheng and Hu Changan were exchanging lines with each other.
Xiao Daguang, who was behind the counter, had put his ear to the cabinet and listened for a long time.
He doesn't understand much Shanghainese.
But such things as "spend big money to do big things", "just got off the plane", "Jianpai Cup Billiards Competition", "Municipal Youth League Committee", "over there in Beijing", "European market"...
These keywords,
He still heard it very clearly.
Each one of them made his heart skip a beat.
Combined with the fact that the other party has a Shanghainese accent,
Xiao Daguang suddenly felt that he was about to get lucky after being unlucky for so many years.
