Chapter 126 Money Can't Buy You Happiness

When the Aston Martin One77 was parked downstairs at the CASANOVA restaurant at Six on the Bund, it immediately attracted the attention of many online celebrities.

Xiang Jing, however, sat in the co-pilot and stretched her neck, complaining, "I said Gu Cheng, don't you usually drive a supercar when you travel?"

Gu Cheng unfastened his seat belt, glanced at her and said, "What's wrong?"

"I admit that your luxury car is very cool, but there is no need to drive it every day! If you continue to drive like this, when you get tired of driving and want to buy a new car, the second-hand car will be worthless.

And today it can barely be counted as business negotiations. If you are driving a supercar, aren’t you afraid that others will think you are unreliable?
and also!And most importantly!
Supercars are really suffering in Shanghai, a city where you will be blocked wherever you go!Before stepping on the accelerator, the traffic lights came, and I almost fell into obsessive-compulsive disorder! "

Hearing Xiang Jing's complaint, Gu Cheng also felt that it was really inappropriate to drive a supercar everywhere.

It has nothing to do with the level of comfort. It is mainly in Huaguo. It is not good to not care about some face-saving projects. In some specific occasions, it is really not suitable to drive a supercar.

Today I just came to interview Yang Zongxiang, no matter what his previous status is, but if there is a priority, today's priority must be Gu Cheng.

So there is no need to care so much.

But what about ByteDance financing ten days later?

Other bigwigs are driving Mercedes-Benz, Rolls-Royce, or own a Martin?That must not be appropriate.

But there is no way, because of my previous obsession with supercars, the combined value of my three cars is over [-] million, but they are all supercars
Even if Gu Cheng wanted to change to a more serious business car, he couldn't help it.

This time, I can buy a few commercial vehicles when I go to the capital. After all, luxury cars are also one of the company's cards.

But facing Xiang Jing, Gu Cheng was not only tough in other places, but also not soft-spoken. He directly pushed the car door and said to her before getting out of the car: "You don't want to sit, some girls are willing to sit."

Getting out of the car at the same time, Xiang Jing also saw the fiery eyes of those check-in internet celebrities around her, and curled her lips in disdain.

With the attributes of a strong woman, what she looks down on the most is this kind of woman who wants to gain power.

But there is still a way to deny what Gu Cheng said.

After all, how many girls can refuse the temptation of a 30 million supercar?
Seeing that Xiang Jing was deflated by him, Gu Cheng also smiled, and led her towards the interior of the CASANOVA restaurant.

As for the sneaky glances from those internet celebrities on the way, they were all ignored by Gu Cheng.

Although these girls are barely good-looking, Gu Cheng has been immune to these coquettish sluts for a long time. Unless he was forcibly given medicine, otherwise he really has no interest in these girls.

After entering the restaurant, the waiter greeted him immediately.

A standard service smile appeared on his face and said: "Good afternoon, both of you, welcome to CASANOVA, do you have a reservation?"

"Yes, my surname is Gu, and I have reserved your terrace for this afternoon."

Hearing Gu Cheng's response, the waiter's smile quickly changed to respectful.

Although the CASANOVA restaurant is not cheap, it is not a high-end restaurant. The average per capita is only a few hundred yuan. Because it is located on the Bund, the environment is very good, and the Italian restaurant in Shanghai is also somewhat famous.

It is precisely because of the elegant environment of the restaurant, which has the meaning of a traditional western-style high-end restaurant, that it has attracted many Internet celebrities to come and open it, and it can also be called an Internet celebrity shop.

And the balcony mentioned by Gu Chengkou does not refer to a single box.

It's an entire terrace.

There are 32 seats on the terrace, which is equivalent to booking 32 seats for one person.

To be able to do such a extravagant thing, the waiter really can't think of other identities other than the rich second generation who don't take money as money.

"The terrace is ready for you, Mr. Gu, this way please."

While the waiter was talking, he led the two of them towards the terrace.

After Gu Cheng was led to the terrace by the waiter, the internet celebrity who had been waiting quit, and shouted at another waiter: "Didn't you say that the terrace will not open until after three o'clock in the afternoon today? How can the two of them go?

I tell you!I have many fans on Xiaohongshu!If you don't give me a reasonable explanation, just wait for me to expose you! "

"That's right! I've been waiting with my girlfriends for more than half an hour, why can others go in?"

"What's the matter? You, CASANOVA, have also learned from others to get privileges when you evaluate a restaurant?"

When someone takes the lead, someone else follows.

The impatient customers who had been waiting in line in the restaurant broke out.

And those who knew that Gu Cheng was driving a supercar watched the excitement with teasing expressions.

Surrounded by so many people, the waiter was not in a hurry, and the smile on his face did not change at all.

The waiters who took the lead in making trouble also know each other.
One is a fake Internet celebrity who only has a few hundred fans, but dreams of becoming a big Internet celebrity.

As for the others, they are even more outrageous. They are covered with famous brands and dressed like celebrities. However, when they come to a cheap restaurant like CASANOVA, they need to order together. Usually, five or six people order food for one person just to take a photo.Belonging to a typical single ladies.

As for this group of people making trouble, the waiter really didn't take it seriously.

Then he smiled and explained to them: "It's like this, all 32 seats on the terrace have been reserved by that gentleman, and the deadline is until three o'clock in the afternoon.

Please wait patiently, until three o'clock, if the gentleman chooses to continue to increase the length of the reservation, you can choose to eat. "

"As for the privilege that the lady said, the price for 32 seats on the terrace of our restaurant is 1.5 yuan per hour, if you are willing to pay this price, we can also let you enjoy this privilege.

If you don't want to, I hope you will respect the privilege. "

The waiter served with a smile all the way, and his words were clear, but they pierced the hearts of these people.
Fifteen thousand an hour, they can go to the top restaurants in Shanghai, and they will come here to get angry?
Looking at the people looking at each other, the waiter was too lazy to wait: "If you have other things, you can tell them, I can try my best to help you.

But if not, please abide by the rules of our restaurant and don't make loud noises to disturb others' dining, otherwise I will notify the store manager and ask you to leave. "

Use the most respectful tone and say the most ruthless words.

"It's just a broken restaurant with special privileges! Wait for me to expose you!"

The girl who claimed to be a big internet celebrity turned around and left after complaining.

"Welcome Miss Shania and your hundreds of fans to dine at CASANOVA at any time."

Hearing the waiter's sarcasm, the back of the girl named Shania visibly shook, but she didn't dare to stay and continue to embarrass herself. She also didn't expect that the waiter knew the title of her little red book.
When a few famous ladies found out that the leader had left the stage in embarrassment, they also stood aside and waited obediently.

On the other side, the waiter took Gu Cheng and Xiang Jing to the terrace and chose a location with the best view, respectfully said: "Mr. Gu, do you have any other needs?"

Gu Cheng sat down, feeling the cool breeze blowing from the Huangpu River in the distance, and said lightly: "According to your restaurant's recommendation, prepare three sets of afternoon tea for me, two can be served now, and one can be served later superior."

"Ok."

Although she is a strong woman, Xiang Jing is still a woman.

As long as it is a woman, it is inevitable to yearn for beauty.

The reason why CASANOVA restaurant is so popular is because it is located on the edge of the Bund with a first-line river view, and the terrace seats can even have a panoramic view of the Bund.

Taking a deep breath of the oncoming Jiangfeng, Xiang Jing's whole mood relaxed.

Then he winked at Gu Cheng and said with a smile, "Young Master Gu, you will enjoy it, and you are willing to spend four 50,000 yuan wallets to visit the entire terrace."

Gu Cheng also smiled faintly, his eyes still looking into the distance, his eyes were deep: "You just say it's worth it?"

"value.

If it were me, I would be willing.

And this kind of terrace has to have such a quiet atmosphere. If there are more internet celebrities who take pictures and check in, those artistic conceptions will really be missing. "

This is the value of rich people, and it is also the difference that Gu Cheng uses to distinguish girls like Xiang Jing from Fufutuan Qin Xiaoman.

The fee of [-] is enough to spend wantonly at any top restaurant in Shanghai, but after booking the entire terrace, you can only stay in CASANOVA for three hours.

If this kind of thing is found out by the lemon essence on the Internet, there is a high probability that they will be called a fool.

Even the former Gu Cheng would have thought this way.

But now, Gu Cheng's most thought is that money can't buy happiness.

spend money?Isn't it just for fun?
Twenty minutes later, the time came to half past one in the afternoon.

A well-mannered middle-aged man in a formal suit and glasses also came to the terrace under the leadership of the waiter.

Xiang Jing, who was chatting with Gu Cheng while drinking afternoon tea, saw the person coming and quickly stood up: "Senior Brother Yang!"

Judging from the change in Xiang Jing's expression, Gu Cheng knew that she hadn't lied to him, and Yang Zongxiang probably really was her idol.

"Xiang Shimei."

Yang Zongxiang first greeted Xiang Jing, then glanced at the time on the phone, then smiled and said to Gu Cheng who was leaning on the seat: "It's exactly half past one, so I'm not late."

The corners of Gu Cheng's mouth curled up slightly, he nodded noncommittally, and then stretched out his hand to signal: "Mr. Yang, please sit down."

Having experienced a lot, Gu Cheng also learned a set of ways to recognize people by himself.

Judging from the brief contact, Yang Zongxiang was indeed down and out.

Ordinary business people, not only for checking the time, but also for pretending, will also wear a watch. After all, if it is on an important occasion, it is somewhat unsightly to take out the mobile phone to check the time.

Moreover, although the suit on Yang Zongxiang's body was ironed to a certain level, the inferior texture could be seen at a glance.

It stands to reason that people like Yang Zongxiang would not be so downcast no matter what.

Gu Cheng also became interested in him.

As soon as Yang Zongxiang sat down, he heard Gu Cheng, who was sitting across from him, crossed his index fingers and said in a casual tone, "Mr. Yang, I believe you already understand the capital of our gray rhinoceros.

I don't know what evaluation to give? "

Yang Zongxiang also quickly entered the role.

However, he did not praise the company's advantages like other job seekers, but smiled and said: "To tell the truth, Mr. Gu, my daughter was sick last night, and I really didn't know about your company, but as far as I know, There should not be a company with a billion-dollar level in Shanghai called Gray Rhino Capital."

Gu Cheng also raised his eyebrows when he heard Yang Zongxiang say that he was a billion-dollar company: "I didn't expect that Mr. Yang's goals were all companies with more than one billion."

Yang Zongxiang also smiled humbly when he heard the words, but there was no humility in what he said.

"Because I'm not interested in knowing about companies below 10 billion, they can't afford me."

Gu Cheng also knew that Yang Zongxiang would be called a financial lunatic
mad!
Crazy!
It hasn't been long since an industry restriction order was lifted, but those who made a mess in the financial circle bluntly said that they look down on companies with a capital of less than 10 billion
If this kind of person is not a fool, he must have arrogant capital himself.

"Since Gray Rhino Capital does not meet your approval, why are you here?"

Hearing Gu Cheng's words, Yang Zongxiang first smiled, and then glanced at Xiang Jing: "Because Mr. Gu introduced you to your junior sister. As her identity, it is impossible for me to go to an ordinary company."

Xiang Jing's identity?
Apart from knowing that Xiang Jing is Wang Qianhai's niece and the future vice president of CCB, Gu Cheng really doesn't know who she is.

After the fact, you can explore the tone.

But for now, Gu Cheng is still focusing on the field.

"Then I won't say much, Gray Rhino Capital should inject 3 billion within 25 days, which can barely meet your requirements, Mr. Yang.

But your request has been met, and I don't know if Mr. Yang can meet my request. "

"No, no, no, a company with a capital of more than 10 billion is just my first requirement. As for my salary requirements, I haven't said anything yet."

Yang Zongxiang is still wearing that iconic elegant smile.

Gu Cheng was amused, and straightly raised Erlang's legs, leaned on the chair and smiled: "Then what is Mr. Yang's salary requirements?"

"The annual salary starts at 10 million."

"Okay, don't say 10 million, even if you want [-] million, I can give it to you.

So can you tell me where your value is now? "

"I have no other value as a person, the only value is to make money, Mr. Gu, if you invite me here, you have already recognized my ability.

In fact, no matter how much you say, it will not be useful to make a score.

Since I dare to ask for an annual salary of tens of millions, then I can guarantee that I can earn you ten times, dozens of times, or even more money.

Capital never raises waste, I understand this truth. "

After finishing speaking, Yang Zongxiang took out a laptop and turned the computer screen to Gu Chengdao: "This is the result of my research on the current financial market in the past six months.

Mr. Gu can take a look if you are interested. "

Gu Cheng didn't even turn his eyes, he still looked at Yang Zongxiang calmly, and said two words softly: "Go on."

"Actually, you can try everything. After all, financial investment is gambling, isn't it?

In fact, Mr. Gu can also bet on whether I have that ability. We can sign an agreement. If Mr. Gu wants me to earn 10 million for you, then you can give me a salary of [-] million.

But if you want me to help you earn 10 billion, you have to fill in a salary of 1 million.

You can understand it as a cooperation, and you can treat me as your money-making mercenary.

There is no loss for Mr. Gu, if anything goes wrong, you can let me pack up and leave, and even if I lose money for you, you can send me back to prison.

As for the reason, there is no need for a reason.

Capital wants to destroy a person without any reason. "

After Yang Zongxiang said this, he also adjusted his glasses with a smile, waiting for Gu Cheng's response.

It was also the first time for Xiang Jing to see such an outlandish interview, and she didn't dare to say a word while sitting next to her.

And Gu Cheng flicked his fingertips between his knees, looking at the middle-aged man in front of him with interest.
