Jagged City - Chapter 140 Nine Presidential Dinner Party

Lin Tao managed Ouyang Qing, but was dragged away by Changguan and the deputy county magistrate of Guankou County. Two companies wanted to sign a letter of intent for cooperation to develop coal in Xiliang. ╠中?文╣ Lin Tao is really busy, so he told Xiao Qin to go back to Xiliang to get the wine. A teacher, by the way, dug out the wine hidden by the old monk.A full hundred altars were buried in 30, and the mouths of the altars were sealed with double-layer buckskin.The inside of the jar was also pasted with clean young deer skin. After opening it, there were more than 1000 catties of wine left over from a hundred catties. This wine was made from pure grain, but the old monk also added some musk and tiger bones or something.Now it has become a big tonifying old cellar.Lin Tao didn't want to sell this wine, so he only took out ten altars, and sealed the rest again, and the two old monks didn't drink it, which made Lin Tao cheaper.Lin Tao spent [-] yuan to Liulichang to ask a master craftsman to make a batch of exquisite wine vessels. They are glass jars with two ears, and there are gold and colored paintings on the jars. Poems, such as "raise a glass to invite the bright moon, and the shadows form three people", and "when will the bright moon ask the blue sky for wine?" There are a hundred jars and a hundred different pictures, all of which are different poems.The cost of making just one jar is [-] yuan.

Poetry and painting are classical, and the golden red wine is still noble when it is placed in a glass jar.One jar weighs three catties, and the wine jar is at the position of the golden cutting line of 0.618, which looks very beautiful.As for his own family, Lin Tao didn't seek beauty, and almost filled a jar of nearly five catties of wine. His father took two jars of this kind of wine, his grandfather's house had two jars, Xiao Xiao's house had two jars, and Wang Han took three jars.Lin Tao gave Jin, Laoshang, and Lieutenant General Li two altars, both of which were three catties.This time, one altar was prepared for the two parent officers, and two altars were prepared for Commander Chen and Chief of Staff Yu. This is the difference between closeness and estrangement.In addition to these five jars, there is another jar that is blended with steamed mountain springs, and one catty is converted into three catties, and one catty of high-grade Wuliangye is added.Pretend it as five catties a day, and drink it directly at the dinner party.If this wine is not blended, just drink a small cup for three qian a day, and make up for it if there is too much.

At [-] o'clock in the afternoon, Lin Tao of Xiliang City, as a representative, signed a letter of intent for cooperation with the two companies. He showed his face at the meeting, and four other brother cities also signed several letters of intent.This is a good start, and I believe that more and more letters of intent will be signed in the next few days.

At six o'clock in the evening, Lin Tao and Fang Liang took Xiaoqin's car, Ouyang Qing and secretary Zhang Xiaohui took the same car, and the two drove to Shangri-La Hotel.It was already dark in the northwest at six o'clock, and the city was brightly lit.

Zhang Xiaohui looked at Ouyang Qing next to her with a little obsession. If this woman is very beautiful, she can also attract the same sex.Zhang Xiaohui was very careful. As Ouyang Qing's secretary, she could see that the deputy county magistrate cared a little differently from Mayor Lin. This was a woman's sixth sense.This time Ouyang Qing was pulled out by Mayor Lin to attend the banquet, which is evident.

Zhang Xiaohui asked: "County Ouyang, are there any guests at Mayor Lin's banquet?"

"I don't know either. I only know that there is a Mexican who acts mysteriously." Ouyang Qing's tone was a little dismissive, but it was naturally different in Zhang Xiaohui's ears.Generally, as a subordinate, it is impossible to talk about a big leader in front of outsiders like this. Ouyang Qing's casual remark made Zhang Xiaohui even more sure that Ouyang Qing had a relationship with Lin Tao.Looking at Ouyang Qing's erratic eyes looking out of the window, Zhang Xiaohui wondered how good it would be if Mayor Lin was not married, as he and County Mayor Ouyang were a perfect match.If Zhang Xiaohui saw Xiao Xiao, maybe she wouldn't think so, maybe she could understand Ouyangqing's loneliness.

It was seven o'clock at the dinner, and Lin Tao arrived at six twenty.Prepare to welcome guests four or ten minutes in advance.Zhang Xiaohui entered the presidential suite for the first time, and felt very novel. The big house of more than 10 square meters is really luxurious, with handmade wool carpets, mahogany furniture, leather sofas, famous paintings of everyone, treasured antiques, and hangers are all inlaid with silver and gilt Yes, everything is noble.Zhang Xiaohui whispered to Fang Liang, "How much does this room cost per day?"

Fang Liang stretched out three fingers.Zhang Xiaohui stuck out her tongue and muttered, "It's enough for me to earn two months' salary!"

Fang Liang stared, then stretched out three fingers again.He whispered, "Wan."

Zhang Xiaohui was shocked, because she used to stay in a three-star hotel on a business trip, but it was only two or three hundred, which felt very expensive. I felt that staying at three thousand a night was definitely a luxury. For thirty thousand, it was nearly a year and a half of salary plus Zhang Xiaohui couldn't imagine the bonus, and wondered if Mayor Lin's consumption of public funds was too much.

Fang Liang noticed that Zhang Xiaohui's mood was wrong, and said in a low voice, "Don't think about it, this is a private banquet, and it's paid for by yourself."

Ouyang Qing followed Lin Tao to check the presidential suite, and there was an introduction by the waiter.Ouyang Qing said: "Mayor Lin, isn't this standard too high?"

Zhang Xiaohui and Fang Liang listened with their ears pricked up in the distance.Lin Tao said with a smile: "Private banquets are all for my consumption, and it's quiet here."

"You are a rich man now, why didn't I know?" After Ouyang Qing finished speaking, he felt a little regretful, because there were two secretaries behind him, but after thinking about it, the two of them had no ulterior relationship. It doesn't matter.

"Didn't I tell you that I made money from part-time jobs when I was in school?"

"You're talking about opening a snack department. Could it be that the snack department is very profitable?" Ouyang Qingqing said.

Lin Tao chuckled: "I have a lot of snack bars, and they gather together to form a tower."

"There is not a single truth." Ouyang Qing looked at the oil painting on the wall and retorted back.Standing in the living room, Zhang Xiaohui and Fang Liang couldn't hear clearly, but they could see that their seemingly relaxed conversation was not as rigorous as that of superiors and subordinates.

"The first one was indeed a snack department. It was opened next to the university, with an area of ​​several hundred square meters, but it grew bigger and bigger. It opened branches in several other campuses. Later, it opened a large flagship store in the downtown area, and then opened another In Yinhai City, a larger store and a small branch store were opened. These were opened with my classmates, and Junlian Co., Ltd. was established. Later, when I joined the army, I transferred the shares to my father. My father He is a businessman. With him joining, the company has grown in size. In addition to fast food restaurants, there is also a transportation company. This year, he bought a four-star hotel in Beijing. Xiao Xiao was also one of the shareholders back then, and he can share some Bonus, so I am waiting to be slaughtered this time!"

Ouyang Qing lowered his voice and said in a low voice: "Hmph, last time you invited me to the snack bar, this time you deserve to be slaughtered."

Regarding Ouyang Qing's dissatisfaction, Lin Tao explained with a wry smile: "Isn't that for keeping a low profile, for fear of bringing you trouble."

The presidential suite, the study and the meeting room are all available, and Lin Tao is very satisfied after looking around.

Tello brought the female translator to the presidential suite booked by Lin Tao at 06:30.Seeing Ouyang Qingtuo's eyes brighten, he thought that Lin Tao was accompanied by a beautiful woman everywhere, who is this beauty?Could it be the secretary?

The two shook hands, and Lin Tao introduced Ouyang Qing to Tello.Tello is very interested in Ouyang Qing, a government official. Ouyang Qing is also used to the gaze of men, and he takes it for granted. He talks to Tello in English in a graceful manner. Although Tello's mother tongue is Spanish, the business tycoon Studying in the United States, and later doing business, he is proficient in four languages.Tello was well-informed and talked with Ouyang Qing with great interest. Ouyang Qing was very charming. He quickly changed the topic to Mexican agriculture, and then took the opportunity to introduce his own matter of building a meat base in the Northwest. He listened to Tello. Nodding repeatedly, he looked through the materials Ouyang Qing handed over, very seriously.There will be foreign-funded enterprises in this meeting, so the materials prepared are bilingual, Chinese and English.

Ouyang Qing explained to Tero on the side, and after reading the information quickly, Troo said: "You are amazing and professional. If you are willing to do business, I can hire you as the deputy general manager with a high salary."

Lin Tao laughed and said, "County Ouyang is a talented person in our government. It's not natural for you to dig a wall in front of me!"

"Hehe, please forgive me. I'm used to it. As soon as I see a talent, I want to recruit to my own group." Tello said this on the surface, but he was slandering in his heart. It really is your lover. I really don't pay attention to digging a lover face to face. .

Tello said to Ouyang Qing: "I am very interested in this report, and I will go to the field for a field inspection in two days."

"Mr. Tello is welcome to visit Xiliang at any time." Ouyang Qing was also very happy, and heard that Tello was not just saying it in perfunctory terms, but was genuinely interested.

Fang Liang opened the door and came in and said to Lin Tao, "Mayor Lin has a visitor."

Lin Tao got up to greet him, and Troo handed the documents to the secretary and followed him.Lin Tao, Ouyang, and Telo walked out of the door. Their eyes were shining. The three officers and two half-centenarians in casual clothes had the aura of being in high positions for a long time.The shining general star on the officer's shoulder badge made Terry very excited.For China's military ranks, especially the division of generals, Terry is clear.One general and two lieutenant generals.Definitely a heavyweight, this Lin Tao is really not simple.

The five people were allowed into the presidential suite before they were formally introduced.

"Hello, chiefs!" Lin Tao paid a military salute, and then bowed his head to the two Northwest parents and officials. Regardless of his rank or age, he is a junior, and this salute should be done.

"Lin Tao, this is Secretary Cui"

"This is Governor Song"

"This is Lieutenant General Zhao Guangzu, commander of the Northwest Military Region, and also my elder brother." Commander Chen introduced in turn.Lin Tao saluted one by one.

Lin Tao also has to introduce Tello and Ouyang Qing. These old people have seen this Mexican bearded man and the beautiful woman next to Lin Tao. I don’t know who it is?

"This is Mr. Tello, President of Tello Group. I invite Tello Group to come to the Northwest Province Business Fair. This lesbian is Comrade Ouyang Qing, the executive deputy county magistrate of Xiguan County, Xiliang City, and a master of economics from Peking University. "

The five shook hands with Tello and Ouyang Qing respectively. When Lin Tao shook hands with Tello, he told Tello the official titles of the five leaders. Tello was very happy.China's three-star general, one of the five military commanders in power. (China actually has seven major military regions. This story is purely fictitious, so you don’t need to be seated when you fabricate five major military regions.)

This banquet was held in the name of Commander Chen. Commander Chen mentioned Lin Tao, a transferred military cadre, and Tello, who was invited by Lin Tao. Commander's face, and Commander Chen revealed that this Troy Group is extraordinary, and it is a great thing to be able to introduce Chinese investment.

Everyone first went into the presidential meeting room to drink tea and chat. The English level of the two parents was not bad, not as good as that of Lin Tao and Ouyang Qing, but there was no barrier to communication. They asked about some things in Mexico, while Lin Tao chatted with Commander Chen and others.The waiter in the living room is preparing the dining table. These people have to eat in the private room. Since they enjoy the treatment of the president, there is nothing wrong with dining in the living room. The rectangular table is covered with gold-plated candlesticks.Lin Tao ordered a French meal to take care of Tello's eating habits. The officials are not bumpkins, and they are no strangers to Western food when they attend various banquets.It's just that the waiter was very curious about the jar of wine. The utensils were exquisitely made, luxurious and elegant, but there was no name or place of origin.It's just that there is a seal on one side of the jar, and there are four words "Qi Treasure Forest" inside, and it can be read in reverse.

"Hey, what kind of wine do you think it is? Is it more expensive than domestic Moutai Wuliangye and foreign XO series? If it is not, it will not be placed here?" The waitress asked a male waiter.Even if you are a waiter, you are a college student who is only studying hotel management. If you can enter a non-star hotel, the competition is fierce, and ordinary people cannot enter.Nowadays, there are many college students in China, and it is very difficult to find a job.Especially for those who have no money and no background, it is often very difficult to work for others.If you graduate from Peking University without a graduate degree, you may not find a good job. This is the reality in China.What is talent?There are people at the top, and those with wealth at home are the real 'talents'.If you have wisdom in your own life, the future is bright.

The male waiter said in a low voice: "It's the first time I've seen it too, but this wine jar is exquisitely made, and it may contain secret wine."

The waitress brightened her eyes and said, "Palace Yuye wine."

"It's one hundred and eighty cups! Hurry up and get to work, there are big people inside." The male waiter quickly arranged the plates, knives and forks, and various utensils, while the waitress folded the napkins in various patterns.

"That woman is actually the deputy county magistrate, and she seems to be a year or two older than me. How did she do that?" the waitress said with some taste.

"Damn, what kind of deputy mayor is that handsome guy? If you compare people, you will die, if you compare goods, you will throw them away. His goal is the mayor, and mine is the foreman. This is the gap. Besides, look how beautiful that female county magistrate is." , What a temperament, and a master's degree in economics from Peking University. How do you compare?" The male waiter said bluntly.

"I also applied for a master's degree. Hmph, what's the big deal—" Seeing the meeting room door open, Zhang Xiaohui walked out with a teapot. The waitress quickly shut up and greeted her with a professional smile.The tea was poured and sent to the meeting room.After coming out, he said to the male waiter: "If you compare with this female secretary, you won't be too sad. She also serves people."

"He is a civil servant, and he will become a cadre in two years."

"I'll still be the manager in two years!" the waitress said unconvinced.

"Yeah, you are the manager. When someone comes, you have to wait on him. Stop talking, and be careful with the service. The manager said, the service is good this time, and the assessment will add two points. At the end of the year, I will rate a five-star waiter, and the deputy foreman the same treatment."

"I'm also very beautiful. Although I majored in tourism management, I can also become a civil servant. Hmph, I will definitely apply for the civil servant examination next year." The waitress Zhang Na was really stimulated. It turned out that she had been aiming at the floor manager this year, but now she changed Attention.The people in the conference room would never know that a female civil servant in Northwest China was about to be born.

conference room.

Governor Song Chunrong said to Lin Tao: "Mayor Lin, Mr. Tello is your friend. You must entertain him well and let Mr. Tello know more about Northwest China. We very much welcome Mr. Tello to come to China and invest in Northwest Province. of."

Song Chunrong spoke in English, and Tello understood it, and took the initiative to say for Lin Tao: "Governor Song, our Tello Group will set up a trading company in the northwest to conduct bilateral or multilateral trade. Import and export fruits and other agricultural and sideline products in the northwest .As for other investments, on-the-spot inspections are required.”

"You are very welcome. Our Northwest government will try our best to provide some preferential policies to allow your company to take root in the Northwest." Song Chunrong said politely. Whether a company enters the Northwest does not mean much to the governor's political performance, but it can promote the economic development of the Northwest. Of course, the governor will not let go of the matter.What's more, Tello Group is an international consortium with very strong strength.

Lin Tao suddenly remembered one thing, this opportunity is so rare, why didn't he expect to invite Master Jin Jiuduan?No, there is no need to reveal too much of the relationship for the time being. If I invite the head of the Jin family, it seems a bit like oppressing people with money, and it may make the two leaders even more disgusted.It feels like a nouveau riche, hey, I am still young, Lin Tao reflected and self-criticized.

In the meeting room, there was one person who had been following Lin Tao all the time, that was Zhao Guangzu, the commander of the Northwest Military Region. The old man was 65 years old, and this person was the uncle of Mr. Zhao who had a lust for Xiao Xiao at the beginning.Mr. Zhao is the president of the Coal and Electricity Group, and he calls the wind and rain in the capital, relying on his grandfather's old Red Army who participated in the Long March, and the veteran who contributed to the founding of the Republic.The second uncle is the vice chairman of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference.His father was the governor of Ganghwa Province.The two aunts are also business giants, with huge multinational consortiums.Mr. Zhao has strong financial resources, and he has reached out to wherever there is coal in China.Compared with others, the Lin family's company is as small as a piece of leg hair.But at the beginning, Mr. Zhao failed to harm others, but Lin Tao blocked his friend's ktv, and beat him to death. He was involved in pornography and drugs. Later, after the old man of the Zhao family found out, he was banned from nightlife for half a year, but he suffered a lot of grievances .Later, Zhao Guangzu found out that Chief Lin who murdered without blinking an eye was Lin Tao, the instructor of the security area.Knowing that Lin Tao is admired by Shang Lao and others, the matter will be let go. Moreover, Mr. Zhao has been a bit domineering in recent years, and his frustrated spirit is also in line with the wishes of Zhao's parents.Although none of the elders of the Zhao family hated Lin Tao, Mr. Zhao Ronghua remembered it.Lin Tao came to Xiliang to fight crimes and damaged his coal business in Xiliang, so Zhao Ronghua stepped forward to suppress Lin Tao and put pressure on the Northwest.But behind Lin Tao, there were also experts, who ended up being lukewarm and arguing with each other.

Zhao Guangzu knew that Lin Tao had brought back two helicopters from A country, so he was very curious about Lin Tao, a legendary figure. When we met today, he couldn't help but take a second look at this major general who made his nephew feel embarrassed.He saw that Lin Tao talked properly, without a hint of arrogance, and that he was gentle and elegant like a scholar, but he loved Lin Tao in his heart, saying that my youngest son is two years older than this Lin Tao. Although he is a regiment-level cadre, he is better than Lin Tao It's much worse, not only in terms of position, but also in temperament, conversation and wine.If the third son's son gets rid of the edges and corners, he is no worse than Lin Tao. If he keeps being domineering, he may suffer big losses in the future. Although the Zhao family has elders who take care of the younger ones, they cannot take care of them for a lifetime.There is a saying that enemies are easy to resolve and should not be formed, so why not turn enemies into friends, and, Lin Tao didn't know that kid was against him.Zhao Guangzu thought about finding Zhao Ronghua in the near future, so that the juniors of the Zhao family could get closer to Lin Tao.
