Chapter 60 You say I’m overbearing? That’s as you wish
At the beginning of the lanterns, the Yellow River Road is even brighter with neon lights, brightly lit, and an endless stream of diners, well-dressed wealthy people, and fashionably dressed young women. Every scene is impacting Boss Ma's world view.
“It turns out this is Greater Shanghai.”
Looking at the flashing neon sign of Zhizhen Garden, Boss Ma took a deep breath and silently said in his heart: "Shanghai, I'm here."
"Hello, sir, have you made a reservation in advance?" The receptionist said in a polite tone and with a smile.
Boss Ma said tentatively: "Mr. Qin invited me here."
"Is it Mr. Qin from Vientiane Square?"
"Um."
The smile on the welcoming lady's face blossomed even brighter when she heard this: "It turns out that I am Mr. Qin's distinguished guest. Please come with me."
From the attitude of the welcoming lady, Boss Ma has a more intuitive feeling about the status of Mr. Qin on Huanghe Road who has never been masked but is well-known.
I was taken all the way to the box by the receptionist.
"Sir, Mr. Qin hasn't come yet. Can I serve you some refreshments first?"
"Well, okay, thank you."
After Boss Ma walked into the box, he didn't even dare to sit down. He originally thought that the decoration of Zhizhenyuan Hall was already very luxurious, but he didn't expect that the box was even more magnificent. Even the palace is nothing more than this, right?
Soon, the refreshments were served. Boss Ma waited for the receptionist to leave, then started eating. He squinted his eyes unconsciously as soon as he took the first piece.
“As expected of Shanghai, even a simple pastry is so delicious.”
On the other side, at the Zhenyuan Hall, the receptionist walked quickly to Li Li.
"Madam boss, the guests invited by Mr. Qin have already arrived in the box."
Li Li nodded: "Okay, I understand, you go ahead and do your work."
After the welcoming lady left, Manager Pan said hesitantly: "Mrs. Boss, Boss Li and Mr. Fan's celebration banquet is scheduled for today. Mr. Qin invites a boss from out of town to have dinner with us at this time. He is not here for us.
Bar?"
"possible."
Manager Pan looked at Li Li in shock, a little in disbelief. He was a person who would make the Yellow River tremble when he sneezed. How could this landlady be so calm?
"Go and greet Boss Li first. I'll be there in a moment." Li Li didn't explain, but casually dismissed Manager Pan and went to the kitchen.
Mr. An is wearing a white chef's uniform and directing the kitchen. It really looks like that.
Li Li didn't speak, and just looked at Mr. An quietly. The latter seemed to have noticed Li Li's gaze, and his eyes met when he looked back.
When he arrived at the back door of Zhenyuan, Mr. An lit a cigarette, took a deep breath and said to Li Li.
"What's going on ahead?"
Li Li said in a cold voice: "Boss Li and Mr. Fan have arrived, and Mr. Qin and Mr. Bao will probably be here soon."
Mr. An nodded and took another long puff of cigarette: "You made a risky move."
"No way, taking shortcuts will cost you something."
"But it's still too risky after all."
At the beginning, Mr. An actually disagreed with Li Li's plan. After all, their relationship with Qin Hao had already been used up when the Zhizhen Garden opened last time, and the relationship between Qin Hao and A Bao had been growing up since childhood.
The bare-pants brothers who grew up together.
Li Li also lit a cigarette for himself, puffed away the smoke, and said in a calm tone: "There is no business without risks."
"Did Qiang Mujie contact you?"
After a long silence, Mr. An suddenly asked.
Li Li nodded lightly: "Yes, Qiang Mujie is now the general manager of a state-owned financial institution in Shenzhen, and he will come to Shanghai to set up a sales department next year."
"Qiang Mujie can't beat him." Mr. An sighed softly.
"Everything as beautiful as the forest wind will destroy it. Mr. Qin has been the all-powerful man in Shanghai for so many years, and there are many people who are jealous of him. I would like to see if he can really dominate Shanghai."
"Don't you think what happened back then is too coincidental? Rumors of stock market expansion came from Shanghai. Afterwards, he took over your team so easily."
Li Li's red lips moved slightly, and her eyes became sharp.
Mr. An let out a long sigh: "There is no need to delve into the past, not to mention that he did help me pay off the debt, otherwise I would have been..."
"But I am not willing to accept it. You are obviously so talented, but now you can only shrink in this smoky kitchen."
Mr. An's eyes darkened and he put out the cigarette in his hand: "Since you have decided, then do what you want. No matter what happens, I will bear it with you."
Looking at Mr. An's lonely back, Li Li's eyes turned red and he clenched his fists.
"I will definitely help you get back on your feet."
.......
On the other side, a celebration banquet between Boss Li and Fan Xinhua was being held. It could be seen that both of them were very happy and drank a lot of wine, especially Fan Xinhua's whole face was flushed.
"Boss Li's move was really extraordinary. Everyone said how powerful Mr. Bao was. Wasn't he intercepted by Boss Li? I think in the future in Shanghai, it will be Boss Li who keeps his word."
"That's right, Mr. Bao, I just got lucky and made some money in stocks. In terms of strength, it has to be Boss Li."
In the face of everyone's compliments, although Boss Li was polite, he was still very grateful. The reason why he spent so much money on cutting off the beard was not to make money, but to build a reputation in Shanghai and buy horse bones for thousands of dollars.
.
Fan Xinhua was also full of smiles. This time he raised the ex-factory price to 26 yuan, which helped the factory earn an extra 800,000 yuan at a time. And with Boss Li's line, the factory will definitely not go bankrupt. After returning,
Those workers were not allowed to worship him as a Bodhisattva.
What's more important is that this time, with the help of A Bao's fame, Fan Xinhua has gained a certain reputation in Shanghai. Now wherever he goes, people call him politely: Mr. Fan, he is no longer the person no one cares about before.
A little transparent.
However, just as Boss Li was changing glasses and making wine orders, Manager Pan brought two men and a woman, causing the originally lively hall to fall into silence.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Those who were flattering Boss Li just now, all restrained their expressions, lowered their heads one by one, and avoided Qin Hao's gaze.
After Fan Xinhua saw Qin Hao, A Bao and Miss Wang, the smile instantly solidified on his face.
Qin Hao glanced at Fan Xinhua and was about to step upstairs when he heard a sound from behind him.
"Mr. Qin, please stay."
Boss Li walked up to Qin Hao with a smile on his face: "Mr. Qin, why don't you meet me by chance? How about we stay and have a couple of drinks as a favor?"
Qin Hao just glanced at it and said in a cold tone: "A favor? Are you worthy of it?"
"You..." Boss Li suppressed the anger in his heart and said with a smile: "When doing business, everyone relies on their own methods. Xu Baozong lowers the price and doesn't allow others to find a higher price. It would be unavoidable.
Isn’t that too domineering?”
Abao's eyes narrowed. The other party's words were meant to suppress Qin Hao morally. In recent years, Qin Hao has been making waves in Shanghai. Naturally, it is inevitable to offend many people. Before, it looked like flowers and flowers. In fact, those people just saw Qin Hao.
The situation is so strong that I dare not confront him head-on.
Now that Boss Li has jumped out, it will inevitably arouse the secret support of many people who are dissatisfied with Qin Hao. If he is allowed to occupy the moral high ground again, it will be very detrimental to Qin Hao.
Qin Hao looked at Fan Xinhua, then his eyes fell on Boss Li, and said word for word: "Since you say I am overbearing, then I have to do what you want."
"I said, Abao is my brother, bullying him is equivalent to bullying me."
"From today on, anyone who has business dealings with you two will not even think of showing up in my Vientiane Plaza!"
After saying that, Qin Hao walked slowly upstairs. The hall was completely silent except for the sound of his footsteps, stepping on everyone's hearts.
Abao was so moved that he glared at Fan Xinhua and followed him upstairs.
Boss Li came to his senses and immediately replied: "Shanghai Tang has more than just Vientiane Plaza as a sales channel. Does Mr. Qin really think he can cover the sky with one hand?"
However, Qin Hao ignored him at all and went up to the third floor corridor and completely disappeared from everyone's sight.
Fan Xinhua's face turned pale. He had thought that Qin Hao would side with Abao, but he did not expect that Qin Hao would be so determined to help Abao regain his position. Didn't they say that in business, only interests matter?
Boss Li saw Fan Xinhua's timidity, and while secretly despising him, he patted him on the shoulder: "Don't be afraid, Mr. Fan, he doesn't have the final say in Shanghai alone..."
But before he could finish speaking, several bosses who were attending the celebration banquet came over.
"Boss Li, congratulations to Mr. Fan, we have something else to do, so we'll leave first."
"Suddenly I remembered that I have something to do at home, so I'm going to leave now. You two will stay."
Immediately afterwards, more and more bosses stood up to say goodbye. Not all of them had business dealings with Vientiane Plaza, but who can say for sure? Without profit-driven reasons, who would fight with Mr. Fan for a boss Li?
, to offend Qin Hao?
Unless someone's brain is kicked by a donkey, business people are not fools and they have a very clear account in their mind.
In this way, the originally lively celebration banquet suddenly became deserted, with only a few guests who were deeply tied to Boss Li staying.
Seeing this scene, Fan Xinhua couldn't help but be secretly shocked. Just one sentence made so many bosses afraid to continue attending the celebration banquet. This gave him a deeper understanding of Qin Hao's influence.
Fan Xinhua suddenly felt that he seemed to have made a wrong choice.
........
In the private room on the third floor of Zhenyuan.
Boss Ma had already finished almost everything the waiter had brought him, and was looking at his watch in boredom to count the time. Just when he was getting a little impatient, the box door was pushed open.
"Boss Ma, welcome to Shanghai." Qin Hao took the initiative to step forward and extend his hand to Boss Ma.
Boss Ma shook Qin Hao's hand subconsciously, then turned to look behind him. The man in front of him looked too young, and he didn't look like the legendary one.
But Abao who was following Qin Hao looked even more different from Miss Wang.
"Let me introduce you, this is Mr. Bao, and this is Miss Wang."
Boss Ma reacted immediately, held Qin Hao's hand firmly, and shook it again and again: "I'm sorry for my ignorance, but I didn't expect Mr. Qin to be so young. I'm rude."
"Boss Ma is joking, let's take a seat first."
After the four people sat down, Qin Hao picked up the menu and asked, "Does Boss Ma have any taboos?"
"You can't eat the ones that are too spicy, but everything else is fine."
Qin Hao nodded, ordered a total of ten dishes, and then handed the menu to Manager Pan: "Let's take these first and let the chef serve them quickly. Boss Ma has come all the way, so I'm afraid he's hungry too."
"Let Mr. Qin worry about it." Boss Ma lowered his attitude. He vaguely felt that a huge opportunity was in front of him. As long as he grasped it, he would skyrocket.
After Manager Pan left, Qin Hao winked at Abao.
Abao didn't beat around the bush, he directly took out a Sanyang brand sample and handed it to Boss Ma.
As soon as Boss Ma got it, he said: "Is this imitation of Meng Tejiao?"
Abao's eyes lit up: "Yes, it is produced by Huxi Knitting Factory. It has the same effect as Montagut, but the cost is less than a quarter of Montagut."
"A quarter?" Boss Ma smiled contemptuously: "If you give me production, you can get another 20% reduction."
"Oh? Boss Ma is sure that he can make exactly the same product?" Miss Wang's face also showed joy. She has been blaming herself a lot these days. If A Bao hadn't been trying to help her, she wouldn't have been in such an embarrassing situation today.
Boss Ma said proudly: "Isn't it just mercerized cotton? Although the cost of this thing is higher than that of pure cotton, it is not a great technology. To be honest with you, our factory produced a batch of Montagut two years ago.
The quality of imitations is no worse than this.”
While talking, the box door was pushed open, and Li Li walked in with a group of waiters serving food.
"Mr. Qin, Mr. Bao, Miss Wang, I'm sorry for being delayed just now. I'll punish myself with a drink."
Qin Hao played with the wine glass and said casually: "Ms. Li Li, I heard that you are the one who controls Mr. Fan's business?"
Li Li almost choked on his wine, took a deep breath to suppress the discomfort, and said with a smile: "Mr. Qin misunderstood, Mr. Fan is indeed the boss Li I met in Zhizhen Garden, but I just opened the door to do business, they are
How it was discussed, I don’t know.”
"Oh, really?" Qin Hao sneered and placed the wine glass directly on the dining table, avoiding Li Li's move to pour the wine.
Li Li looked a little embarrassed: "Mr. Qin, I really don't know about this. If I knew that Boss Li intended to pry into Mr. Bao's business, I would have informed you as soon as possible."
"Okay, we still have things to talk about, you can go out." Qin Hao said in a cold tone. It was the last chance he gave Li Li just now, but she chose to fight to the end, so don't blame him.
He fell out of love and became ruthless.
Li Li's face turned livid as she turned to leave, and her hands wrapped around her chest couldn't stop shaking. Of course she understood the consequences of offending Qin Hao, but she didn't believe that she had to do this in order to cheer up Mr. An.
, entered the situation personally and was forced into a desperate situation, Mr. An could still hold back and not take action.
In the box, Boss Ma quickly negotiated a price with Abao, which was three yuan lower than the 25 yuan he had negotiated with Fan Xinhua.
Time was tight and the task was heavy, so Abao drove overnight to send Boss Ma back to Zhuji.
