Its history can be traced back to 1900 at the beginning of the last century. It is located in the center of Beijing, adjacent to the Forbidden City, the former imperial palace.
It is only a stone's throw away from Chengtianmen, the Great Hall, the National Center for the Performing Arts, Wangfujing and other historical and cultural attractions.
Every corridor and every leisure space is unique and beautiful.
The coexistence of classical and modern, traditional and emerging, and the blending of East and West give this well-known hotel an extraordinary historical heritage.
The unique development history and geographical location have given this five-star hotel, which combines history, humanity, aesthetics, and modern technology, a special political status. It has received countless visiting international dignitaries since the founding of the People's Republic of China.
Although Lin Haitang is a native of Beijing, this is his first time to eat in a place like this, let alone a VIP room that is not open to the general public...
All the utensils are antique and of high quality ancient porcelain.
One living room, three dining rooms, all furnished with rosewood and rosewood, shelves full of antiques, exquisite bonsais, famous calligraphy and paintings on the walls, the room is elegant and fragrant with flowers...
At first, Lin Haitang was a little confused by such a big battle, but soon, under the guidance of Meng Lang, he couldn't help but take pictures of the exquisite dishes in front of him.
"Crack!"
"Click! Click!"
Luohan prawns, grilled black ginseng, braised shark's fin, duck in wood, braised beef brisket in a pot...
Coupled with the wonderful explanation of the dishes by the waiter on the side, it was an eye-opener for the two of them...
This table of intangible cultural heritage - Tan's cuisine, is the only authentic heirloom. It is said that it was introduced under the personal instruction of the Prime Minister.
The color, aroma and taste are certainly outstanding, and even the presentation of each dish is almost a work of art.
Mr. Hu was used to seeing the two of them, Grandma Liu, being surprised when they entered the Grand View Garden.
"Xiao Meng, is the food still to your liking?"
Meng Lang swallowed a mouthful of beef brisket and gave a thumbs up.
"Yeah! It's fragrant, glutinous and smooth, with a full aftertaste in your mouth! It's indeed a famous dish!"
"Haha! As long as it's to your liking, if we hadn't specially asked Master Tan to work overtime, I'm afraid we wouldn't be so lucky today.
But don’t worry, we’ll give you enough overtime pay.” Mr. Hu said with a smile.
"Well……"
Meng Lang thought to himself that this little old man was quite serious.
As for the chef, can that be called overtime?
What's more, is the feeling of being worked overtime the same as enjoying the overtime service of others?
"In addition, I also booked a room here for you two. You have come all the way, so you can have a good night's rest here today.
If necessary, I will ask Xiao Chu to arrange internal passage tomorrow and take you two around to visit the scenic spots and historic sites in the capital."
Internal passage?
It sounds like there is no need to queue?
Meng Lang couldn't help but sigh.
If you didn’t come here, you wouldn’t know that few people can withstand this kind of sugar-coated bullet of enjoying privileges...
The reason why ordinary people hate privileges is probably because the privileges are not in their hands. Once they enjoy the privileges, the only thing most people want to do is to hold on to them...
For example, when it comes to overtime work, isn't Meng Lang inevitably subject to double standards?
If possible, he wouldn't mind enjoying the privileges, but what makes him more aware than ordinary people is that privileges usually come with corresponding risks...
A person was sitting at home when a 62mm bullet was drilled into the ventilation duct and hit his head accurately...
This life experience asks you whether you are afraid or not?
He put down the chopsticks in his hand with a serious look on his face.
"Thanks for the hospitality, but it's no reward. I'm still used to walking through the ordinary passenger channel."
"How can it be in vain? Just for your help to Yifei, I should do my best to serve as a landlord."
Mr. Hu looked at Meng Lang with hidden meaning.
"Not to mention Ms. Gao Yuan's outstanding contribution to the country in fighting this northern disaster..."
Um?
Meng Lang's heart suddenly trembled when he heard this.
Why do you blame me for Gao Yuan's contribution?
Could it be that such a secret fact that he is Gao Yuan’s behind-the-scenes boss has been discovered by the relevant departments?
Seeing Meng Lang's expression of shock, Mr. Hu had a smile in his eyes.
"What? Xiao Meng, are you trying to deny your relationship with Gao Yuan?"
As soon as these words came out, Lin Haitang silently put down his chopsticks and pricked up his ears.
Meng Lang sweated on his forehead. "Hey! Mr. Hu, please stop talking nonsense. What relationship can I have with Gao Yuan?"
"Haha! I heard that before Gao Yuan's rise, she had a divorce dispute with Xu Jinsong of the Xu Group.
And just on the evening of March 31 this year, the Jiangsu City Criminal Police Team received a call from enthusiastic people and called the police. Xu Jinsong and Gao Yuan were both involved in the case...
This matter...Xiao Meng, do you know?"
"Huh?" Lin Haitang stared at Meng Lang with a puzzled expression.
"Ahem! I've heard a little about this..." Meng Lang coughed dryly.
March 31st…
That is the dividing line between Gao Yuan's "first half of life" and "second half of life".
With Gao Yuan's current status, especially the amazing breakthroughs made by Evergreen Biotech and Bai Yeji in sensitive technology.
It is not surprising at all that he has received national attention and his background has been investigated in detail.
The grudge between her and Xu Jinsong that night was naturally not an airtight secret in the face of national power...
"Although I don't know which enthusiastic member of the public called the police, it is a coincidence that a large transfer of 5 million was received in Ms. Gao Yuan's account that night..." Mr. Hu looked at Meng Lang with a smile.
Well……
Meng Lang couldn't help but touch his nose.
Sure enough, the "underground transaction" between himself and Gao Yuan was exposed that day...
The slightly rough transfer operation at the time did indeed leave some hidden dangers.
After all, my "life experience" at that time was not rich enough, and all I could think about was the low-level stage of battling wits and courage with Alzheimer's disease...
Even at the peak of his life, he was just one of the angel investors of Evergreen Biotech, and he never thought that he would be involved in competition between great powers, or even in a life-and-death battle with aliens.
Therefore, there is a serious lack of awareness of the dangers of establishing an "identity firewall"...
"Haha! Outsiders don't know that it was these 5 million that helped Gao Yuan get through the most difficult period of litigation, and later led to the rapid rise of the company Evergreen Biotechnology.
Later, the same account provided 5 million funds to Gao Yuan again."
The second 5 million that Mr. Hu mentioned was actually used by Meng Lang to invest in Mengshan Animal Husbandry. For the same reason, he used Zhifu Bao...
Mr. Hu said with admiration.
"I didn't expect that Xiao Meng, you are not only excellent in Chinese martial arts, but also good at investing.
Not only did he earn 14 million in the stock market with just one venture capital investment, but he was also very precise in his judgment of people.
At that time, Gao Yuan had never set foot in a shopping mall or run a company. You would dare to bet most of her net worth on it. I have to say that young people are courageous!
It's ten million before and after. It's not an exaggeration to say that it's timely help, right?
No wonder he was able to speak in front of Gao Yuan and help Yifei and Bai Yeji connect..."
"This..." What else could Meng Lang say? He could only say haha.
I have to say, their intelligence work is really sharp.
He even made a rough guess about his relationship with Gao Yuan, and even automatically figured out his role in the cooperation between Gao Yuan and Hu Yifei...
However, in the other party's speculation, it was obvious that Meng Lang was only regarded as an "angel investor" who could "speak well" in front of Gao Yuan.
A mere investment of 10 million, in the eyes of Gao Yuan, who has a net worth of at least several billion, even if it is a timely help, it is impossible to make Gao Yuan listen.
The shares of Evergreen Biotechnology that can give Meng Lang four or five points are considered Gao Yuan's "Yongquan Xiangxian".
So after thinking about it, Meng Lang became a "minority shareholder" who was so lucky...
At most, they are "minor shareholders" who are deeply trusted by Gao Yuan.
Lin Haitang looked at Meng Lang with a strange look.
She vaguely knew that Meng Lang and "his organization" were secretly helping Gao Yuan and Changqing Biology, but she didn't know the details.
Didn't you expect that this guy would have such a big "drama" in this process?
"Mr. Hu, since you have investigated me so clearly, you shouldn't be just trying to do your best to be a landlord, right?" Meng Lang said helplessly.
"Yes!" Mr. Hu nodded happily.
"To be honest, I have seen many different kinds of people in my life, but I have never seen a young man as capable and as low-key as you..."
How about it, do you want to join us?"
"Ah?" Meng Lang was stunned.
to join you guys?
Unexpectedly, the other party wanted to recruit him as soon as he came up?
"I know you don't value fame and fortune, which I appreciate very much. Young people should have higher ideals and pursuits.
Then why not join us and serve our country?
You are still young, whether you want to become a general or become a prime minister, I believe you have great potential!
Now is the time when the world is undergoing major changes that have not happened in a century, and the country needs people of insight like you to contribute to the rejuvenation of the nation!"
Going out and entering...
Are you asking yourself to choose between the military system or the government system?
Could it be that when someone asked me in the car just now what was my impression of the capital...referring to the working environment?
After being stunned for a moment, Meng Lang quickly reacted.
In the era of hot weapons, the value of personal force is naturally not worth mentioning in the eyes of these superiors. As for investment vision...
I have only made tens of millions from a pot of gold in my life. How can I be regarded as having investment vision in front of such a big shot?
I'm afraid it's just bullshit luck at best, right?
What the other party values more, apart from helping Hu Yifei, is probably his relationship with Gao Yuan...
If he really takes on this iron rice bowl, he will probably become the "special correspondent of the relevant departments in Wanwu Holdings"?
"Mr. Hu, please stop joking. The army is full of talents, but there are no young talents. I am a salesperson with 2 years of experience. What can I do if I join you?"
Mr. Hu glanced at Meng Lang.
"Actually, there is nothing to hide. We attach great importance to the technology research and development potential of Evergreen Biotechnology and Baiyeji. Some of them are even strategic technologies that we have to pay attention to...
However, potential is just potential. If you want to truly develop and grow, you will inevitably encounter all kinds of troubles.
Some time ago, someone wanted to investigate Bai Yeji's 'Wisdom Tree' product in the name of disrupting the market, but I suppressed it.
There are also two township pilot projects for Tianshu ERP, which I found some old friends and persuaded them to promote..."
Meng Lang suddenly showed a look of understanding.
It seems that this is the "resistance" mentioned in the book...
The person who wants to investigate the "Wisdom Tree" project... no need to ask, must be a stakeholder of "Spider Web".
Looking at Mr. Hu in front of him, Meng Lang was a little glad that he had chosen Hu Yifei to be the general manager of "Bai Yeji".
In fact, monopoly is not scary, but monopoly with rights is scary.
Capital is not scary, only capital with rights is scary.
Hmm! You definitely can’t beat me, so you can only choose to join like this...
Mr. Hu paused, as if waiting for Meng Lang to digest the information.
"I say this to let you know clearly that what you are facing is not just business competition...
Of course, it is the right thing to protect high-quality companies like Evergreen Biotech and Baiyeji and encourage technological innovation.
Originally, I wanted to go to Su City to meet Gao Yuan in person, but just as Xiao Meng came to the capital, I had a better choice..."
A better choice?
You mean recruiting me under your command?
"Since you, Mr. Hu, have said that encouraging technological innovation is the right thing to do, and the country strongly supports it, Director Gao will naturally reciprocate it.
Military-civilian cooperation is a joy, I believe Director Gao will not refuse it, right?
I don’t know what a small role like me can do in this.”
"Haha! Xiao Meng, you are too arrogant to belittle yourself. I heard Yifei say that you also introduced the 'Demon Hunter', which led to the emergence of 'Star Array', 'Tianshu', 'Bajie' and other excellent products?
"
Mr. Hu's eyes flashed and he finally revealed his purpose.
Meng Lang suddenly realized.
It turns out that the other party is here for the "Demon Hunter" this time...
This little old man obviously wants to obtain information about the "Demon Hunter", but he still wants to use his hands empty-handed!
Recruiting me under his command not only gave me an additional "special correspondent in Wanwu Holdings", but also bought one and got one free...
This little abacus is so rattling!
"Xiao Meng, maybe you don't know how amazing the things your friend has developed are.
Such AI development talents are a national treasure that the country urgently needs, and there is no room for error.
I hope that you can recruit him to our department for protection. If hostile forces are allowed to take advantage of him, it will be a great loss to the country!"
Meng Lang smiled bitterly in his heart as he looked at Mr. Hu who was moved with emotion and understood with reason.
Haha! I’m not sure?
I know it all too well!
The problem is that even if you get his people, you can't save his life!
"Mr. Hu, it's not that I don't want to help. It's actually that this demon hunter once had an unforgettable death experience and has a psychological shadow, so he doesn't want to show his face at all.
I have never even met him, let alone handed him over to you."
Death experience?
Mr. Hu frowned.
Could it be that this person has attracted the attention of interested people and is being hunted, so he is hiding his name?
Hmm! It's quite possible...
But in this way, they have even more reason to protect people!
"Whether you have never met the other person or you still have concerns, I hope you can help convince the demon hunter to join the country's technical team.
If you are worried about safety issues, you can rest assured that we will send dedicated personnel to protect you 24 hours a day to ensure nothing goes wrong!
There is no safer place than under the protection of the state."
Foolproof? That’s absolutely true, right?
Can you still guard against thieves for a thousand days?
What's more, Meng Lang doesn't want to be a miserable programmer who hides in a dark room coding all day long...
"Xiao Meng, can't you trust me, an old man?"
Seeing Meng Lang's silence, Mr. Hu was not upset at all.
On the other hand, the heroic female officer next to him immediately glared at him.
Seeing the insistence on the other party's face, Meng Lang had no choice but to remind him vaguely...
"Mr. Hu, since this is what we are talking about, I would like to take the liberty of asking a question on behalf of the demon hunter.
Can what you say count?"
Seeing that Meng Lang's tone seemed to be softening, Mr. Hu's eyes lit up.
"Yeah! Of course! Don't think I'm just a bad old man, but in China, my words still have weight!"
Listening to the other party's resounding assurance, Meng Lang asked expectantly.
"Really...can the labor laws be strictly enforced?"
"Well……"
Are you asking this for the witcher, or for yourself?
How dissatisfied are you with labor laws?
Why can’t I get over this joke?
"No? What about disbanding Zuxie?"
"..."
"Lan Xie?"
"That's not possible either? Then close the A shares?"
"..."
Mr. Hu was embarrassed.
"Forget it, haven't you made money from A shares? Since you are the beneficiary, why do you still want to shut it down..."
Am I the beneficiary?
That's because you haven't seen my miserable life!
With extreme hatred for the act of cutting leeks from across time and space, Meng Lang curled his lips.
That is to say, thanks to my autobiography, otherwise I would definitely be in the top ten among the people who have been tricked the most...
Although he did not continue speaking, Mr. Hu had accurately received the meaning...
The implication.
It's not that I can't believe you, but the forest is big and there are all kinds of birds.
You can't even do anything about the situation in front of you, how can you make me trust you?
