Chapter 132 The thoughts of the rich
Chapter 132 [Rich Man's Thoughts] The place where the old fox invited us to dinner is not in the city center, but in... a very special place.
After the car stopped, I looked at the building in front of me in surprise: "Tu, are you sure the address is right?" Please believe in your profession, boss.
Tu said lightly, "I have seen the map. The whole road in Shanghai, as long as it is in the map, is in my mind."
XX Food Training School! Er, the name seems to be a chef training class.
Entering a building inside, someone immediately greeted us enthusiastically, and then took us into a large classroom... Yes, that's right, this is obviously a classroom! Moreover, it seems that I guessed right outside just now. This is obviously a classroom for training chefs.
However, it is clear that there is a sign here: XX cafeteria clubhouse.
In such a big room, there are dozens of pot stoves! All the things you can find in the kitchen are all available, and they are all the most professional equipment. I even guarantee that even the kitchen of a five-star hotel is not as complete as here.
*** There are already many people in the bright room. Under the action of dozens of high-end European range hoods, there is no lampblack in the classroom, but full of the aroma of all kinds of food, as well as the jingling of the spoons of the pot, and the jingle of the pot and pans.
What surprised me a little was that many of those people who rolled up their sleeves and stood in front of the stove with big spoons were well-dressed.
The shirts, suits, or women's skirts on them are all valuable brand-name goods. These people who usually drive high-end cars and live in big houses now wear aprons and play the role of chefs.
"Hey.
Here!" There was a shout from the old fox next to us. We looked for a voice. The old fox was less than 20 steps away from us. He rolled up his sleeves and cut a roll of cabbage with a kitchen knife in his hand, with a smile on his face.
"My God, old man, what the hell are you doing? Is this the place where you invite us to dinner? I walked over and looked at him strangely and around again.
"Don't be surprised, it's enjoying.
Enjoy, do you understand? The boy."
Old Fox Qiao had a cigarette butt in his mouth and a little sweat on his forehead. He put down the kitchen knife casually and said, "Don't you think this place is very interesting?" He said and handed me the kitchen knife: "Please cut it for me for a while. Alas, I'll smoke a cigarette."
I took the kitchen knife and looked at Yang Wei. She seemed to be laughing. Obviously, she had understood something.
"What are you looking at? Cut it quickly. What you are cutting is our dinner now.
The old fox stood aside.
I was still a little confused, but I still rolled up my sleeves and began to do it.
"Chen Yang, you have to understand that in fact, rich people... A considerable number of rich people live a boring life.
And when people are extremely bored, they inevitably like to find a strange thing to do.
The old fox smoked a cigarette leisurely and said with a smile, "Look around..." "I'm looking, and I'm also curious."
I tried to cut the cabbage.
I have to say that my movements are much faster than that of the old fox. I don't know if it's because I used to cut more people with knives.
"In fact, the biggest regret in the heart of many rich people is that when they become famous, they lose some fun of being ordinary people."
The old fox whispered, "If abroad, those rich people and nobles have their own traditions and their own living habits.
But China is different... China has no aristocracy, and there is no so-called family in China.
In the ten-year catastrophe of the last century, there were almost no rich people in China.
Now, many rich people in China have become rich after the reform and opening up, and most of them are started from self.
Our rich people do not have the so-called aristocratic tradition, and there is no European style.
And these used to be the rich people of ordinary people. When they are rich and have the right to be rich, they are often extremely empty and bored. It is inevitable that they want to live an ordinary life again occasionally, even if it is just a good life.
What do ordinary people do every day? Cook by yourself! Have you ever seen a billionaire cook at home by himself? Which billionaire's wife cooks at home by herself? Very few! Therefore, this restaurant provides these rich people with the pleasure of spending money to buy back a little bit of ordinary people before they were underdeveloped.
In this restaurant, guests must cook their own meals by themselves, do you understand? I kind of understand: "It's a wonderful idea, but..." I still don't understand: "If you want to cook by yourself, you can also do it at home, right? I don't believe that these rich people don't even have a kitchen at home?" Hahahaha..." The old fox laughed exaggeratedly.
Then he looked at the busy people on the left and right, lowered his voice, and laughed in a low voice, "This is the ridiculous thing about the rich... On the one hand, they are occasionally bored and want to find some ideas to fill the void. You have to understand that they just do this for boredom.
Just to enjoy the fun of cooking... but don't want to do those troublesome trivial things.
For example, if you want to cook at home, you have to go to the supermarket to buy all kinds of vegetables and ingredients, buy oil, salt, soy sauce and vinegar, etc. You also need to figure out what to cook and how to cook.
Also, wash the dishes, clean the table, clean the kitchen afterwards... and so on. If all these are done at home, it will be very tedious.
But these people, on the one hand, miss that kind of fun, and on the other hand, they don't have much time, or don't want to spend too much time and energy on the tedious work they prepare.
So, how nice is this place? Provide all the supporting things, and even what dishes you want to cook. The ingredients prepared here are more complete than in the restaurant! There are even professional recipes, and professional chefs will guide you.
Although it costs more money, it saves them time and allows them to fully enjoy the fun.
These rich people are not short of money, but time is more valuable to them than money.
And... there are some psychology: if you cook it at home, in case it's bad and it tastes bad, you have to run out to eat. If it's bad here, delicious food is also provided here.
"I see, that is to say.
Guests here have to spend money to eat and make it by themselves.
I laughed and said, "It's a good idea.
The price here must not be cheap.
"Well, it's a little cheaper than the Peace Hotel (one of the most expensive hotels in Shanghai)."
The old fox blinked his eyes.
Yang Wei suddenly smiled and said, "Mr. Qiao, this place must also belong to you, right?" That's right."
Old Fox Qiao threw away half of the remaining cigarette butts: "Okay, have you cut your cabbage? Who will help me beat the egg white now? With that, he deliberately glanced at Yang Wei.
Yang Wei smiled gently and rolled up his sleeves happily.
Soon, I found that it had become a social gathering for the rich.
After several guests on the stove next to them have prepared their own meals, they will occasionally come over and politely invite us to taste their works.
Although the taste is good and bad, but... I have to say that this feeling will make you feel more useful than spending money to invite people to those high-end restaurants.
Think about it, when a multimillionaire spends money to treat you a meal, or he cooks for you, what's the difference in your heart? What a subtle idea! And if you eat the dishes made by others, the other party will also feel that the fruits of their labor will be shared by someone, and they will also feel very happy.
All of these things add up to make the atmosphere here exceptionally good.
I can see it.
Every guest around is very happy.
I sighed... This old guy is really smart!" Now that you've come, you have to show your hand.
Are young people waiting for the elderly to cook for you? Old Joe said with a smile.
So.
Yang Wei and I cooked the dishes by myself.
I made the simplest. I didn't know much about cooking in the first place. I made the simplest fried egg, and sprinkled the chopped green onion.
Yang Wei was beyond my expectation. She actually made a meat, a vegetarian dish, a fish-flavored shredded pork, and a stir-fried broccoli. It was very good, and the taste was quite good.
I tasted it twice and couldn't help looking at her in surprise.
"I learned it."
Yang Wei squeezed his lips and smiled.
Of course, I understood the meaning of her words, and I couldn't help but feel a little moved: "You... In fact, you don't have to do this."
Yang Wei blinked: "Yan Di can't be the only one who can cook."
What surprised me most was Joe's old fox! He actually made three dishes and one soup! And it tastes quite good! Even many restaurants I have eaten are not inferior at all! I can't see that this old guy has such a skill! There is a dining table next to each stove. After everything is done, everyone sits down and tastes their own works to their heart's content. Occasionally, there are other guests next to invite us to their dishes. This feeling gives me a sense of being in the public canteen in the past.
Gently slapped the glass, and the old fox and I drank a glass of white wine, and then smiled, "I didn't expect the old man, you are so good at cooking... It's just Qiao Qiao..." "Ha! What she makes can only be used as rat poison.
The old fox did not shy away from his daughter's weakness. He smiled for a while and restrained his smile: "Okay, let's talk about business... Have you read the newspaper these two days?" I watch it every day.
I sighed: "It hasn't been peaceful recently."
"Do you know? I was going to play bridge tonight.
But during the day today, two groups of people came to me and asked me to convince you as lobbyers, so I had no choice but to come forward in person at night... Alas, do you know which two groups of people?" Yang Wei and I took a look at each other, and then whispered, "Is it Qinghong's sky and earth?" Yes, the boss of Tianzitou called me. Ouyang, the head of Tianzi, has arrived in Shanghai.
In recent days, Qinghong has been very angry. Ye Huan played both hands in a row and played well.
Let Ouyang and the others miscalculated. I didn't expect Ye Huan to do things so decisively... Well, it was he who fought back and risked his life.
The so-called barefoot are not afraid to wear shoes.
In such a situation, Qinghong also has some taboos.
I said lightly, "Are you looking for me to be a lobbyist? Humph, what can I do?" Don't pretend to be stupid.
There is no need to pretend to be stupid when you talk to me.
The old fox snorted: "Of course, I know that both families want to swallow Ye Huan's territory.
But they all worry about the other party. No one makes a big fight. It's only been waiting for so long.
I finally couldn't help doing it before, and it was also the old man who ran out of patience and took the lead.
As a result, the fire broke out in the nightclub in Wuxi.
Humph, Ye Huan is cruel enough. Tens of millions of business were burned down with one fire.
The news I got was that the person who lost more than a dozen people that day, didn't even grab a dime, and more than a dozen people died. Ye Huan also seemed to have lost money, but the head of the person killed a gold medal red stick hitter. I guess it was done by Jin He under Ye Huan.
But there were no bodies in the fire. It was thought that after the two sides finished fighting, they cleaned up the scene and set the fire.
That means that Ye Huan won.
Otherwise, if the human head wins, it won't set fire!" [ Heaven's Kiss] "What about the two cases in Suzhou? The drug business in Suzhou was uprooted by the police.
And the yacht club..." I didn't move.
"Don't mention Suzhou... For the sake of Suzhou, Qinghong's interior is almost angry. Just a few quarrels have made a lot of quarrels... Do you know? The matter of Suzhou has nothing to do with Qinghong at all.
The people of Qinghong haven't set foot in Suzhou yet! It was Ye Huan who reported to the police! Abandon the business!" Oh?" I raised my eyebrows.
"That's right."
Joe's old fox laughed and said, "He is cunning enough to push a few substitutes and throw them to the police, but before that.
But he took all the money out of the business! For example, isn't the yacht club been closed down now? The people of Qinghong contacted the official to check it... Guess what? A club with 60 yachts and hundreds of registered senior members with status, there is only 16 yuan and 50 cents left on the book! All the money was drained by Ye Huan in advance!" I was stunned for a moment, and then I couldn't help laughing and said, "Good way! Good means!!" After thinking about it, I whispered, "Ye Huan rolled up all the money and left a rotten and empty stall for Qinghong.
At the same time, it also plays a role in threatening the other party: if you force it again, I will destroy everything! Everyone can't get it, right? The old fox nodded repeatedly: "That's what it means.
Qinghong was forced to do so much that he even figured out the beheading operation. He wanted to send someone to sneak to Nanjing to kill Ye Huan first, but he lost a few good hands in vain.
"So what?" I sneered.
"So... they want to ask you to do it."
The old fox sighed: "Qinghong is a rat taboo. As soon as they moved, Ye Huan tied himself to his business and finished it together! Therefore, Qinghong can't move.
Even if the old man with human characters dares to move his hands fiercely, he is not allowed to move the other two words.
The only one who can take action is you, Chen Yang.
You are not from Qinghong, and you have a holiday with Ye Huan.
At this time, if you do it, Ye Huan threatens Qinghong's magic weapon, which is invalid for you.
You let go of your hands and feet..." "That's not necessarily the same."
I shook my head: "In case Ye Huan finally has no way out, he simply loses all the business in his hand... It's the same!" It's different... There's a big difference!" The old fox smiled and said, "You should know Ye Huan's character best.
He won't make a last move unless he has to.
Do you think he is willing to die together? That's for Qinghong! If you take action, he may not dare to use this trick against you.
Besides, there is nothing we can do.
After all, you are not from Qinghong. Ye Huan takes the tricks of abolishing his business to deal with you. Do you care?" Of course not.
What does Qinghong's business have to do with me? I curled my lips.
"That's it.
Even you think so, doesn't Ye Huan understand? So, you have a chance.
Since you have a chance, why don't you try it? This is probably Qinghong's idea.
I sneered: "I'm afraid it's more than that?" The old fox smiled and said, "Of course there are other reasons... The most important thing is that we all doubt... Ye Huan may have a trick! If you can force his move out, that's what Qinghong wants most.
If I had known Ye Huan's card earlier, I would have prepared it earlier.
My personal guess is that Ye Huan is probably ready to roll up the money and go abroad.
This is the only way for me to think about him... But after all, I'm not Ye Huan, and I can't figure out what he has.
However, the territory of the whole province of Jiangsu, so much business is not a small amount! Qinghong dares not take so much money to take risks! You have no choice but to take action. Now, you might as well make some conditions.
The current situation is that you can ask for the price all day long, and then wait for the people of Qinghong to sit on the ground to pay back the money.
I looked at Yang Wei, and Yang Wei knew that I was signaling her to speak.
"Mr. Qiao, in my opinion, there is not much difference between Chen Yang's action and Qing Hong's own action... If Ye Huan must have absolute determination, then even if Xiao Wu can knock Ye Huan down, Ye Huan may still destroy the business in his hand and never stop! You also know that this possibility is very high!" Yang Wei narrowed his eyes and thought for a moment, and said with a smile, "Mr. Qiao, you want to bake Chen Yang on the stove!" What do you say?" Do you still need to say that?" Yang smiled and said, "Chen Yang, please take action. Of course, it is a threat to die with Ye Huan.
But more, I'm afraid the part of the stolen material in Qinghong is uneven! Who does the territory belong to? That's the key! The head of the human character is powerless to occupy, so both the head of the word of heaven and the word of earth want to eat this piece of fat meat.
But I don't want to break up with the other party, so it's better to give this fat meat to Chen Yang first.
Then..." Yang Wei narrowed her eyes, and her expression sank: "It seems that Chen Yang has picked a big bargain, but in fact, it's a big trouble! After Chen Yang ate Ye Huan's territory, it's okay for the two words of heaven and earth to stand aside... But the human characters! The human character has a big grudge against Chen Yang! At that time, the character must be the first to jump out and fight with Chen Yang! Whether it's for hatred or to take back the territory in Chen Yang's hands... Humph, in this way, I borrowed Chen Yang's hand to deal with the character! Anyway, the two words of heaven and earth are going to swallow the words after this matter is over! Am I right? In a word, this matter,... this piece of fat meat is not delicious!" The old fox spread out his hand: "Hey! Miss Yang, you don't have to be so excited about me. I'm just a lobbyist and a message.
You can naturally figure out the powerful relationship inby yourself.
I'm only responsible for delivering the message.
In the end, you decide whether to do it or not. You can go back and discuss it.
**** "Do you want to do it?" Out of this special restaurant, Yang Wei immediately asked me in the car.
"Do it!" I sighed, "Why don't you do it?" Yang Wei frowned: "However, it is clear that the word heaven and earth use you as a gun."
"I know."
I shrugged my shoulders: "So what?" Looking at Yang Wei's expression, I smiled and came to her ear: "I suddenly came up with an idea... Do you think this is okay..." After I finished speaking, Yang Wei looked surprised: "Is this the idea you came up with? It's good, but..." "I want to be rich and dangerous."
I said lightly, "Qinghong always wants to trick me. Can't you let me put them together in the other way? Humph..." Yang Wei pondered for a moment: "Well, let's discuss the specific details of this matter... Where do you want to do it first? The surrounding city, Yangzhou? Suzhou? Zhenjiang?" No!" I whispered, "Nanjing!" Nanjing? Are you going to go directly to Ye Huan's base camp?" Of course! It's Nanjing!
