Rebirth of the courtyard, the start is 80s

Chapter 542 You Lion Open Your Mouth
"This Lou Xiao'e can really show off! It's been half an hour, and you still haven't come, is it on purpose?"

After yawning again, Cao Zhiqiang rubbed his eyes, took another sip of strong tea, picked up the newspaper again, and continued to wait patiently for Lou Xiao'e's arrival.

Well, it's already the second day.

Early this morning, Cao Zhiqiang arrived at the hotel where Lou Xiaoe was staying 10 minutes earlier, and contacted Lou Xiaoe by phone at the front desk, and agreed to meet in the restaurant of the hotel.

Originally, Cao Zhiqiang thought he would see Lou Xiaoe soon, but after waiting for more than half an hour, the other party still hadn't come down.

Although Cao Zhiqiang also knows that Lou Xiaoe, as a middle-aged and elderly woman from Hong Kong, probably needs a little time after getting up early, such as washing up, putting on makeup and so on.

But the problem is that Lou Xiao'e knew that Cao Zhiqiang was coming to see her today, so she didn't make preparations in advance, which is indeed a bit neglectful.

At least, this shows that Lou Xiaoe does not value Cao Zhiqiang.

It would be strange if Cao Zhiqiang was out of breath. Fortunately, he even set the alarm and prepared an hour in advance, just because he didn't want to miss the appointment.

"Sure enough, Lou Xiao'e is not a good woman, I hate her!" Cao Zhiqiang, who forced himself to re-read the newspaper to pass the time, muttered to himself.

Speaking of which, Qin Huairu ranked first among the women in the courtyard that Cao Zhiqiang hated when he first traveled here.

But as time went by, as Cao Zhiqiang learned more and more things, he hated Qin Huairu less and less.

Yes, there are not many good people in the courtyard, but if you think about it carefully, it is not because everyone is bad in nature, but because of the environment.

Because it is difficult for really good people to survive in the courtyard.

Qin Huairu is indeed not a good person, she is indeed a blood-sucking idiot, and she may even have a dirty history before, but her actions are all for her own children, which is worthy of praise.

Moreover, Qin Huairu has been kind to children and the elderly for decades, and has never taken the initiative to harm others, so you can say that she is selfish, but you cannot say that she is bad.

Even if Qin Huairu had ruined the good relationship between He Yuzhu and that primary school female teacher, the root cause was not Qin Huairu, but that primary school female teacher Ran Qiuye.

Because from the beginning to the end, that Ran Qiuye never really took a fancy to He Yuzhu, and she was willing to get back together with He Yuzhu later, but it was just a helpless choice in special times, and she still used more.

If that Ran Qiuye really married He Yuzhu, sooner or later they would have to fight, after all, the two of them were not on the same side.

How could it be possible for a proud young female teacher and an old rough cook to really live together.

So regardless of the reason, to be honest, Qin Huairu is really the only one who is really suitable to live with He Yuzhu, at least in the courtyard.

On the contrary, Lou Xiao'e, who looks like a white lotus, is actually much worse than Qin Huairu in his bones.

Cao Zhiqiang hadn't noticed this before, but after contacting Lou Xiao'e several times, plus hearsay and past life memories, Cao Zhiqiang quickly outlined Lou Xiao'e's true image.

To put it bluntly, Lou Xiao'e is a really proud rich girl, she always thinks that she thinks about everything, and when it comes to selfishness, she is much better than Qin Huairu in her bones.

If Lou Xiao'e's first husband is Xu Damao, this is not a family, and he does not enter a family.

There is no good woman who can mix with Xu Damao.

Look at the women who have had a relationship with Xu Damao, no matter whether it is Qin Jingru or Yu Haitang, there is no good person, so why is Lou Xiaoe who was the first to follow Xu Damao a good person?

Of course, it's really rash to divide the good guys from the bad guys, but it's just a matter of temperament, Cao Zhiqiang doesn't like Lou Xiao'e either.

Before, Cao Zhiqiang wanted something from Lou Xiao'e, and he didn't know much, so he deliberately ignored Lou Xiao'e's badness.

But now Cao Zhiqiang has nothing to ask for from Lou Xiao'e, the so-called "no desires can make you strong", and he has more information, so he doesn't like Lou Xiao'e more and more.

But, again, although Cao Zhiqiang doesn't like Lou Xiao'e, from the perspective of interests, Cao Zhiqiang thinks it's better to mix in a little bit, in case it can reap benefits.

In other words, Cao Zhiqiang may not like Lou Xiao'e, but it does not mean that he doesn't like her money and connections.

Anyway, in Cao Zhiqiang's view, even if he taught Lou Xiao'e that soft trick, Lou Xiao'e would not be able to win against Qin Huairu, after all, this has been proved by history.

Because in Cao Zhiqiang's previous life, Lou Xiao'e later came to her senses and came back to look for Shazhu, opened a restaurant for him, and then took the opportunity to use all kinds of soft and hard tricks to slowly pry He Yuzhu over in a tug-of-war mode.

It's a pity, Lou Xiao'e's innate strength, coupled with Lou Xiao'e's constant desire to transform He Yuzhu, touched He Yuzhu's reverse scales, but in the end she couldn't succeed.

Lou Xiao'e's pride determined that she could not change herself, nor could she not change He Yuzhu.

As long as Lou Xiao'e can't get rid of her proud temper and her desire to make He Yuzhu into what she wants, sooner or later she will part ways with He Yuzhu.

That is to say, Lou Xiaoe's so-called love for Shazhu is only imagined in her heart, what she wants is the He Yuzhu she imagined, not the real He Yuzhu.

To put it bluntly, Lou Xiao'e is also a Wenqing girl, and she has the common problem of Wenqing girls, that is, she is always agitated when she can't get it.

On the contrary, He Yuzhu is actually a very pragmatic man. He likes to be down-to-earth and down-to-earth, so he is destined not to be able to live with the ungrounded Lou Xiao'e for a long time.

He Yuzhu's love for Lou Xiao'e is just an illusion, or a longing. The person he really loves in his heart is Qin Huairu.

It's just that He Yuzhu has been refusing to admit it, and has been confused and confused.

For He Yuzhu to really recognize himself, it was only after Lou Xiao'e failed to reform him that he began to reflect and rebound.

That being the case, Cao Zhiqiang didn't worry about telling Lou Xiao'e the strategy in advance.

It is also a good thing for Lou Xiao'e to come to the capital to invest in the capital ahead of time and to put all her thoughts on He Yuzhu in advance.

In other words, this is just a deal, so he can ask Lou Xiaoe for something he has long wanted, such as her connections in Hong Kong.

Cao Zhiqiang thought about it a long time ago. If he wants to make better money and help the country, the best way is to use Hong Kong as a bridgehead.

As for Japan, it is at most a channel for making money for myself, not an ideal place for me to cultivate deeply.

In other words, if Cao Zhiqiang wants to continue to develop in the entertainment industry, the best place is not the mainland, nor Japan, but Xiangjiang.

Only with the help of Xiangjiang's special status and the characteristics of the times at this time, can he get twice the result with half the effort and ride the wind.

And Lou Xiao'e's family is undoubtedly the best early partner if they want to enter the Xiangjiang market smoothly without being suspected.

At least, with the help of Lou Xiao'e's family, his development in Xiangjiang would not be blinded.

For this reason, he had to show an attitude of standing on Lou Xiao'e's side, so as to make Lou Xiao'e happy.

As long as Lou Xiao'e is happy, everything else is fine.

Of course, Cao Zhiqiang would have the ability to go to Xiangjiang without Lou Xiaoe, but that would be a lot of trouble.

Who is willing to use troublesome ways to go to Xiangjiang easily.

Just when Cao Zhiqiang was reading the newspaper, but actually thinking wildly, he suddenly heard Lou Xiaoe's voice: "I'm sorry, Cao Zhiqiang, I've been delayed for a while, did I keep you waiting?"

When Cao Zhiqiang heard the voice, he immediately put down the newspaper and stood up, smiling at the graceful and luxurious Lou Xiao'e: "No, I just came too, please take a seat."

Lou Xiaoe nodded to Cao Zhiqiang with a smile, and then sat down gently.

After Cao Zhiqiang also sat down, Lou Xiaoe explained to Cao Zhiqiang with a smile: "Sorry, I answered a call earlier. The call was from Hong Kong. It took a long time, and it took some time."

Cao Zhiqiang could only smile again: "It's nothing, big things matter, don't get in the way."

Lou Xiaoe nodded at Cao Zhiqiang, then asked the waiter for a cup of coffee, and asked the waiter to leave.

When the waiter walked away, Lou Xiaoe looked at Cao Zhiqiang and said, "What exactly is the method you mentioned?"

Cao Zhiqiang chuckled: "Aunt Lou, do you want to be in such a hurry?"

Lou Xiaoe narrowed her eyes: "I have been waiting for 16 years, do you think I am in a hurry?"

After a pause, Lou Xiaoe said seriously: "I promise you, as long as you can help me get back together with Sha Zhu, I will definitely not treat you badly."

Cao Zhiqiang smiled slightly: "Well, Ming people don't say dark words, I do have a way to match you and Uncle He, but I can't guarantee that Uncle He will be with you.

After all, an opportunity is an opportunity, but whether the two can finally be together depends on the fate of the two, don't you think? "

Lou Xiao'e smiled: "I know this, you should talk about your method first."

Cao Zhiqiang nodded: "Well, since Auntie Lou said so, I won't play around."

After a short pause, Cao Zhiqiang said seriously, "Auntie Lou, I think you should know that I opened a restaurant called "Food is the Sky", and let Uncle He buy [-]% of the shares, right?"

Lou Xiaoe nodded with a smile: "Yes, I know, he told me everything."

Cao Zhiqiang said with a smile: "Now that you know it, it's convenient.

How about this, I can sell [-]% of the shares to you, and then hand over the specific management to your people, and you will be the general manager, and I will only be a big shopkeeper.

In this way, you can justifiably eat and work for heaven, and you can see Uncle He every day.

Our share transaction can be done in secret, no one will know that you have invested in my restaurant, and as long as you don't tell, and Uncle He doesn't tell, Aunt Qin will not know that the general manager has also secretly changed people.

At that time, you will work in the same restaurant with Uncle He every day, and you will still be his boss, coming and going. If you can't take Uncle He down, it will be too shameful. "

Lou Xiaoe nodded thoughtfully: "This is indeed a good idea."

Speaking of this, Lou Xiaoe raised her eyes and looked at Cao Zhiqiang: "However, it's too little to give me [-]% of the shares. How about this, you sell all your shares to me, and this store is mine, how about it?"

Cao Zhiqiang, who had expected it for a long time, was deliberately surprised, and then shook his head with a wry smile: "Aunt Lou, your appetite is too big, and you actually want all the shares in my hand? It won't work, it won't work!"

"There's nothing wrong with it." Lou Xiao'e smiled, "Aren't you making money by opening a restaurant? Well, I'll give you double the amount you paid for opening a restaurant before. It's finally done."

Cao Zhiqiang laughed: "Aunt Lou, you are underestimating me. My food is the sky, the location is good, the decoration is good, and now the source of customers is stable, the signboard is also open, the business is very good, and I am making money every day. Not too much.

For such a mature and stable hotel, if you want to sell it at twice the original price, it is almost the same as Ming Qiang. "

Lou Xiaoe frowned: "Then how much do you think? Anyway, let me state first, I either quit, or I have to be the controlling party."

Cao Zhiqiang said: "The controlling party, no problem! Then I'll sell you 50.00% of the shares, how about you give me 51? But let's say it first, what I want is US dollars!"

Lou Xiaoe squinted her eyes: "51 US dollars? Only 50.00% of the shares? You are a lion. Do you know how much RMB 51 US dollars is worth now?"

Cao Zhiqiang said with a smile: "Of course I know, if I don't know, I dare not say this number.

Of course, Aunt Lou, you are a real businessman, so your vision is not bad.

So whether my food is good or not, and whether it is worth the price, there is no evidence to say.

How about this, you can find a professional to check and evaluate the accounts to see how the daily flow of my restaurant is.

Then, in addition to healthy daily turnover, my restaurant is now considered well-known in the capital, and it is also on the travel list of China Travel Service.

That is to say, Shiweitian is now a star hotel. Foreigners and overseas Chinese who come to Beijing for tourism, as long as they come through China Travel Service, will almost always be recommended to have a taste of Shiweitian.

In addition to these, many middle-level leaders in the capital, including the municipal government, district government, and some leaders of state-owned enterprises and factories, like to treat guests to Shiweitian, which is another great source of high-quality customers.

Also, I had people distribute leaflets in universities such as Tsinghua University and Peking University before, and I also gave a lot of preferential places to the teachers of these schools. As long as the teachers of famous universities go to eat, they will get a [-]% discount. This is equivalent to binding some cultural people .

Therefore, my food is the sky, not only a restaurant, but also a vanity fair, and you must be aware of the value in it.

With all these, this food is the sky can not be seen as an ordinary restaurant, not to mention, there is a person you care about the most.

With all these, do you still think that buying 51% of my shares for 50.00 US dollars is a big mouth for a lion? "

Lou Xiao'e lowered her head and thought for a while, then raised her head and said, "This is all what you said. I don't know the real situation."

Cao Zhiqiang chuckled: "That's a good point, so you can stay here for a while and go to Shiweitian to investigate more. During this period, I will let people fully cooperate with you. You can watch whatever you want and ask whatever you want. , Even if it is an account check, there is no problem.

Anyway, my restaurant is there, the daily turnover and passenger flow are all visible and tangible, and there is also a VIP list in it, which is full of senior officials and teachers who can spend at discounts, and the consumption of these people is also very high. The records are clear, and you can also read this account.

In addition, Uncle He is also the chief chef and teacher there. When you visit there, you can see Uncle He every day.

How are you interested? "

Lou Xiaoe narrowed her eyes: "Are you really willing to let me check the accounts? Are you really willing to let me see everything?"

"Of course." Cao Zhiqiang said, "I am very sincere. I believe that as long as you have seen the whole picture of Shi Weitian and know the true value of Shi Weitian, you will be tempted, and you will definitely not think that I am a lion."

After a short pause, Cao Zhiqiang said: "Well, I'm going to Japan soon to discuss a business with someone, so I'm afraid I won't be able to accompany you.

If you are interested, I will arrange for you to eat for the sky now, and give you a temporary position as the deputy general manager. You can use that identity to stay in the food for the sky for a few days, and see for yourself the reality of the food for the sky.

And I will notify the person in charge there, that is, my sister, so that you can view all the account information of Shiweitian.

What do you think when I come back from Japan and we can formally talk about this deal? "

Upon hearing this, Lou Xiaoe raised her eyebrows instead: "Oh? You are going to Japan to discuss business? What kind of business? Don't you say that food is the sky and there are Japanese investors."

Cao Zhiqiang smiled and said, "Of course not. I went to Japan to discuss a cooperation business with a record company, and it has nothing to do with this restaurant."

Lou Xiaoe was taken aback: "You want to talk to the Japanese about the record company cooperation business? What company?"

Cao Zhiqiang said: "Warner Pioneer Records in Japan, I don't know if you have heard of it."

"Warner Pioneer?" Lou Xiaoe was taken aback again, "That's a big company, of course I've heard of it, you, which company do you have cooperation with?"

"It's just an intention to cooperate." Cao Zhiqiang said, "It's not considered a formal cooperation."

After a short pause, Cao Zhiqiang said flatly: "I went to the daily report earlier and met with the president of Warner Pioneer Company, and he has agreed to cooperate with my China Impression Company in China to exchange information.

To put it simply, in the future, we in the inland area can release their artists' songs through Huaxia Audiovisual, and Warner Pioneer can also release the songs of our company's artists in Japan. The two parties are in a channel cooperation situation.

At least for now, Warner Pioneer has signed a contract with me, and I am planning to release my solo single in Japan, which can be regarded as a preliminary cooperation.

I am going this time to discuss more in-depth matters with Pioneer Warner. Once the negotiation is completed, further cooperation can begin.

Of course, this requires the cooperation of the relevant departments, but you can rest assured that I have obtained the consent of the relevant departments.

As long as it's not a bad Japanese artist, if the problem is not big, there is no problem here.

After all, what is important now is Sino-Japanese friendship. "

Upon hearing this, Lou Xiaoe frowned tightly: "What you said is true? Didn't you lie to me?"

"Why lie to you?" Cao Zhiqiang shrugged, "What good is it for me? Or do you think I'm the kind of braggart?"

Lou Xiao'e looked at Cao Zhiqiang carefully, with a suspicious expression on her face: "No, I just think that you are jumping a bit high all of a sudden. You were talking about restaurants, but you suddenly jumped to a Japanese record company."

Cao Zhiqiang chuckled: "I am a person who blossoms in all directions, and food is the most insignificant project among my many industries."

Lou Xiaoe frowned, then nodded: "That's true. If what you said is true, then you really don't like this food."

Speaking of this, Lou Xiaoe smiled slightly: "Okay, since you said so, then I will stay for a few more days and go to your food for a good investigation. After you come back, we will talk about it in detail, but you have to go Japan for a few days."

Cao Zhiqiang said: "Not necessarily, at least two weeks, normally at least one month."

"One month." Lou Xiaoe frowned, "It's a bit long."

"Not long." Cao Zhiqiang said with a smile, "If you want to understand that food is the sky, you have to investigate it for a month, otherwise, you can't see many hidden values. After all, there are some things that just look at the ledger. use."

"That's true." Lou Xiao'e nodded, "That's how it is, I'll wait for you to come back, and we'll talk about it later."

Cao Zhiqiang chuckled: "Then it's a deal, and I'll arrange it for you."
