1979 The Life of Idle Fish

Chapter 315 Meeting the Boss One
At about eleven o'clock, a surging crowd arrived at the Xichang Tower Hotel in Houhai.

This lineup is quite impressive, with the first and second leaders of the city joining the battle, and even reporters from the "Beijing Daily" are here.

This reporter was none other than Rong Lan, who made Zhu Lin jealous for the first time since his marriage. She was also the beauty that Luo Tao avoided.

Luo Tao, a compatriot from Hong Kong and Macao, knew Mr. Huo, Li Chaoren, the chartering king, and Mr. He at a glance, but he didn't know much about the others.

But you don't need to think about it to know that these are rich people from Hong Kong and Macau, and they are also businessmen who have contributed to the construction of the mainland.

The waiters in the store stood on both sides of the door in a very orderly manner, while Luo Tao stood outside the store and waited eagerly.

There has been a lot of work at the winery recently. Hou Ming now has to stay at the Qijiawan winery almost all day to handle things. It is the first time since the factory was built that the wine will be released, so this cannot be taken lightly.

When Luo Tao saw the visitor, he was very polite and trotted forward to greet him.

"We warmly welcome the leaders to inspect the work, and even more warmly welcome the big bosses from Hong Kong and Macao compatriots to come to the store..."

Luo Tao stepped forward and shook hands warmly with Leader Li, whom he was already familiar with.

"You are not a small shop,... the famous person is already out." He exchanged a few words with Luo Tao.

He also introduced to the guests, "This is Comrade Luo Tao, the boss of Xichang Tower... He is also very smart... He is still an old Beijing native."

They all smiled and didn't care. Most people thought that this was Leader Li advocating for the small entrepreneurs under his rule.

Chen Shi was particularly enthusiastic, "Comrade Luo Tao, this is Mr. Huo, Mr. Li..."

Luo Tao shook hands with them one by one, and the reporter comrades quickly took a few photos.

"Invite the leader!" Luo Tao led them to the courtyard next door for dinner.

“This hotel is really nice.”

"Yeah, antique."

“This is the first time in my life that I have eaten in such a classic and elegant place.”

"It's not worth it."

"Hahaha! The scenery in this courtyard is nothing. The most outstanding thing about Xichang Tower is the palace cuisine, which is regarded as the best by the people in the capital."

Leader Li has been here several times, so he knows a lot about it. This time he was particularly enthusiastic about promoting Xichang Tower.

It's like book friends voting for recommendations. ().

Give him a plum and give him a peach.Xichang Tower is a restaurant under his own management, and he must publicize it as much as possible in public and private.

If Xichang Tower had a place in the domestic catering industry and became a major taxpayer in the capital, it would be a shame on his own face as a leader.

"This is the first national culinary competition held last year. Several master chefs who participated in the Xichang Building won awards." He pointed to the certificates on the wall that were sent to Jinye and the others.

They saw that there were national-level reviews, and they were all looking forward to the taste feast at noon.

Because there were too many people, there was no room in the private room, so I felt a little aggrieved and could eat in the lobby!

It was still early before dinner, so they went around looking around together, which made it seem less official.

After a while, Chen Shi asked the people from the newspaper office to go back, because the serious business they wanted to discuss had been discussed in the morning, and they came here just to have a meal.

The reporters have also collected a lot of material, and it is time to go home.

As soon as they left, Luo Tao followed them out quietly, "Reporter Rong, don't leave in a hurry."

Taking small steps and a springy look on his face, he stepped forward to greet her.

"What's wrong? Mr. Luo." She was very cold, and she lost all the admiration she showed when she first interviewed Luo Tao.

It's not his fault. At first, his hot face turned into a cold butt. Then he went to visit his home in person and was turned away by the jealous Zhu Lin. Luo Tao didn't go to explain to him afterwards.Who wouldn't be angry if this matter was ignored? Luo Tao's image as a cultural man naturally collapsed in Rong Lan's heart.

"Hehehe, long time no see! The last time I asked you to have dinner, I didn't have time. How about today if you don't mind?"

"Farewell, I don't have time today. As you can see, I'm very busy with work, so please forgive me. If there's nothing else..."

She turned around and wanted to leave.Luo Tao's important matter hasn't been discussed yet, how can he let her go.

"I have a little favor to ask you for?"

Looking at her face, Luo Tao seemed to want to refuse, so he continued: "I wonder if you can develop the photos you took today and give me a few as souvenirs."

When Rong Lan heard this, he agreed.

"Hahaha, thank you very much Rongda reporter. If you come to Xichang Building to eat in the future, you will get a [-]% discount." This is the first membership price of Xichang Building since it opened.

"Then thank you, Mr. Luo." It was still the same calm face.

"You're welcome, you are welcome to come often."

Luo Tao is very enthusiastic. Even if he gives her a [-]% discount, he will still make money. Remember, you can still make money with a discount. Businessmen are not fools.

She walked a long way before murmuring in a low voice, "Stingy." If Luo Tao listened, he would definitely say cute.

"Is this an orchid painted by Mr. Zhang Boju?" Li Chaoren is also a collector and has heard of Mr. Zhang.

When Dan's painting appeared in the small restaurant in his eyes, he was more or less suspicious.

"Mr. Li also knows how to collect?"

"I know a little bit. Well, why did Comrade Luo ask such a question?"

Luo Tao admires this guy quite a lot. If nothing else, at least he has a good business vision.He is an authentic businessman who can be said to be mercenary.

Some of these practices are quite derogatory, and what’s even more annoying is that they are not illegal in Hong Kong. If they were in the Mainland, they would definitely be able to make ends meet.

"Mr. Zhang is one of the top collectors in China. I think if you know his name, you must be familiar with the collecting industry, otherwise it will be difficult to know him."

Luo Tao gave a brief explanation.

Li Chaoren thought about the same reason, but he was a little confused about the word "湹".

"The dialect pronunciation of this word is his honorific, and it usually appears in Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei."

"Oh, hehehe! I haven't eaten yet today, but I learned a word first. Does Comrade Luo know Mr. Zhang?"

Li Chaoren is still very kind and a gentleman in everything he says and does.

"Hahaha! Mr. Li, Comrade Luo Tao and Mr. Zhang are not just acquaintances, they are as close as father and son." Leader Li came from a distance and introduced the relationship between Luo Tao and Mr. Zhang to Li Chaoren.

Li Chaoren did not expect that a person like Mr. Zhang would have such a good relationship with Luo Tao, a businessman. The expression on his face was particularly surprised, and he looked at Luo Tao to learn more.

Luo Tao smiled slightly and said, "Mr. Zhang is my master!"

When Li Chaoren heard Luo Tao say the word "master", he laughed and said, "Oh, sorry, sorry. I didn't expect you to be Mr. Zhang's disciple."

Look!It is good to have a good master, and this title is always "you".

"I don't dare to take it seriously. I only took advantage of my family's support to climb Mr. Zhang's heights."

"Comrade Luo Tao, you are too self-effacing...not everyone can become an associate researcher at the Forbidden City."
