When we arrived at the bar, the wine flag hadn’t even been hung up yet. It seemed like it hadn’t been tidied up properly.
When I walked in, I saw that the inside was completely different.
First of all, all the tables and chairs have been replaced, and they are still the same tables and chairs from the old shop.
Behind the bar, the wine cabinet has been completely emptied. The sides of the bar have obviously been smashed and rebuilt, and the red bricks are still exposed.
In this way, the bar has been extended, which is quite in line with the style of the old store.
After the bar is extended, the door of the utility room is also included in it, which will be the future operation room, that is, the kitchen, and all food that requires fire will be produced there.
The surrounding walls have long been repainted, and they are covered with RB-style posters and trinkets. This has completely transformed the original bar with a typical American country folk style into a Japanese restaurant.<
/p>
The small stage has also been dismantled, and a new floor has been laid on the ground. It is simply formed into a circle with ropes. It is obvious that the floor has not been firmly glued, making it inconvenient for people to move around.
After looking around, I realized that by waiting for the cement of the extended bar to dry, then wrapping it with wood, and then covering it with blue dyed cloth as a tablecloth, this bar would be completely transformed into a Japanese food store. When Lao Tun heard the movement at the door, he was not in a hurry. Instead, he slowly finished his work and then walked out of the operation room.
"Coming?" Lao Tun greeted Cheng Yu and Gao Yiming.
"I'm causing trouble for you." Cheng Yu said with a smile.
Lao Tun waved his hands and said: "I have to thank you two. This place hasn't even opened yet, but you are thinking of doing business for me. Today, the materials are not available, so I can't place an order."
"It's okay, just take care of the arrangements."
Lao Tun nodded and asked again: "Xiaoyu didn't come?"
"It should be there soon."
"Okay."
Lao Tun didn't waste any time and went back into the operating room. He quickly came out with a bottle of wine and placed it on their table.
"The drinks haven't been sorted out yet. Just grab whatever you want. You two can drink together. This bottle of wine is for me." At the same time, he gave me a plate of peanuts.
After saying that, regardless of the reactions of Cheng Yu and Gao Yiming, Lao Tun returned to the operation room.
Gao Yiming picked up a peanut and threw it into his mouth, then opened the wine and poured it into a small flask.
"Lao Tun is really cool."
"Actually, I'm just not sociable and don't talk much."
Gao Yiming thought for a while, chewed some peanuts, nodded and said, "What you said makes sense."
After a while, Du Xiaoyu arrived, and Lao Tun had already prepared a piece of sushi and brought it over.
"First pad it, I'll do it later."
After saying that, he left again, but the three of them seemed to have gotten used to it, drinking wine and eating sushi.
I fried some cod, two saury, and a large portion of sashimi, so there were no other dishes.
After all, there is no purchase, and all the products are ready-made and frozen in the refrigerator. Those fresh ingredients that require living animals are obviously not available to Lao Tun.
Even the first sushi was made after Lao Tun received a call from Du Xiaoyu and hurriedly cooked some rice.
Seeing that there would be no more dishes, Cheng Yu greeted: "Lao Tun, let's eat together."
Lao Tun thought for a while and said, "I'll order another bowl of noodles and I'll be back later."
Soon, Lao Tun ordered another bowl of noodles, and at the same time cut some salmon, Arctic clams, etc., brought them to the table, and pulled up a stool to sit down.
"When will it really open?" Gao Yiming asked Lao Tun while eating.
"Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, it depends on how the details are done. It's just one person, so it's a bit confusing."
"Why don't you recruit someone first?"
"We're recruiting, but with these things, only I know where to put things, and no one else can help. So don't worry, it won't be too late to recruit again when it's really open."
I don’t know why, but when Lao Tun is at the table, everyone seems to talk less. Even if they do talk, they are all focused on Lao Tun.
Perhaps Lao Tun also noticed this, so after he finished the bowl of noodles, he stood up and said, "You guys eat, don't be in a hurry. If you don't have enough wine, tell me. I'll clean up later."
After Lao Tun returned to the operation room, the chat between the three became more normal.
As they talked, the topic focused on Cheng Yu.
Du Xiaoyu and Gao Yiming are not friends at all. They can have dinner together only because of Cheng Yu. It is normal for this topic to focus on him.
"By the way, are you going to hang around like this after you return to China? Are you going to find something to do?" Du Xiaoyu also said casually. After all, whether it is her or Cheng Yu, the family's assets can completely support him for the rest of his life.
Work. However, Du Xiaoyu always feels that it is more practical to do something, especially as a man.
"It seems like it's not your turn to take care of this matter. I don't rely on you to support me." Cheng Yu didn't even raise his head, and was accustomed to quarrel with others.
"Who has time to take care of you?" Du Xiaoyu raised his eyebrows, "I just asked casually. Besides, I have taken care of you before."
Gao Yiming nodded and praised: "Yeah, I've fed him several times, and I fed him today. I still owe him three more meals, and I still have to feed him."
Cheng Yu was so angry at the two of them that he knocked his wine glass and cursed: "Then do I have to commit myself to you two?"
Du Xiaoyu was about to have an attack when Gao Yiming hurriedly said: "Let me make it clear first that I am not interested in men. I am just a breeder. But Miss Du, you can consider it. After all, you two have a nominal male-female relationship.
”
In an instant, Du Xiaoyu's anger was transferred to Gao Yiming. Cheng Yu also took the opportunity to add fuel to the fire. Gao Yiming was so frightened that he didn't even make a sound and just buried his head in drinking.
"Two days ago, my grandma across the street, the person who rented the house to me, saw that I was moving here alone, so she asked me to go to her place for a meal. Then she gave me a suggestion. She thought I could try Angel.
Investment. Her son works as an investment banker on Wall Street. He has many angel investors under him and has a lot of idle funds that he doesn’t know where to invest. He said that if I can do it, even being an intermediary for them in China would be a good choice.
."
Gao Yiming said carelessly: "You are a rich young man, why do you need to be a middleman for others? Angel investment is not a big deal, you can just take some money and do it yourself."
Du Xiaoyu said: "Well, if it is to test the waters, this is a good suggestion. Moreover, if those investors are allowed to directly invest in domestic start-up companies, the next few rounds of venture capital will probably belong to the person you mentioned.
The company will get involved. By then, the proportion of foreign capital in these companies will be too high, which is not a good thing. But with you in the middle to digest the funds, the situation will be much better. I guess the son of the old lady opposite you will also be
I want to be my own channel, not to bring business to my investment company.”
Cheng Yu was slightly stunned by Du Xiaoyu's eloquent talk: "Do you seem to know a lot about these things?"
Du Xiaoyu rolled his eyes and said: "Nonsense, I just do investment. Although I am not independent, I am in my dad's company. But now I am in charge of the entire investment department."
