One hundred thousand yuan. Chen Taizhong was a little stunned when he heard it. He only asked about the nature and broadcast time of this topic and it was one hundred thousand yuan - without any further explanation.
Su Wenxin was the only one who gave him a favor, "Xiao Chen, we are not outsiders. Sister Su, I won't earn a penny from you. This is a fee for others... Xiaoya has done it in CTV. Just ask her and you will know. "Hot Spot"
You also know the nature of "Interview". Do you think there can be no confidentiality measures in Taiwan?"
Will the confidentiality measures be so strict? Chen Taizhong was a little unconfident and said, "You are just deceiving me because I don't know anyone at CTV. Who would have thought that Mr. Su chuckled as if he had read through his mind, "Don't you believe that this is my way?
Why don't you say ten and take twenty yourself, I won't ask you to find out the information, as long as you can find someone who dares to take them."
Alas, these days, all money is given is to save face. People have said it to this point. Of course, Chen Taizhong can understand that this phenomenon is rare in the lower cities, but it does happen, but it is probably the norm in the capital - no one should be careful under the emperor's feet.
?
"Then please excuse me, Sister Su. I'll give you the money later." Chen Taizhong smiled and took out a box and stuffed it into Su Wenxin's hand. "Sister Su, I can't let your work go in vain. This is just a small thing."
He was willing to spend money to do things for his friends, and he had no problem paying out of his own pocket. Liu Bin was a man of righteousness, so he would repay his righteousness. As for this matter, it might even involve Du Yi - who cares whether you are the governor or the minister?
I'm not familiar with you.
If he dared to send Su Wenxin away, of course he would accept it. Moreover, these people had a problem. They were extremely careful when they should be careful, but they were also very liberal when they should be reckless.
Mr. Su took the box and opened it without any hesitation, then chuckled, "Oh my God, this diamond must be three carats, right? Taizhong, are you sure it's a diamond or not glass?"
Inside the box was a large diamond ring. The size of the diamond looked similar to that of Lianzi, as if she was a good judge of goods. The light in the private room was a bit dark and it was hard to tell the quality, but the size was amazing enough.
Of course, the size of this diamond would definitely look like a nouveau riche if worn on the hands of ordinary people. But Su Wenxin knew that such a ring paired with appropriate clothes would be suitable for attending certain occasions - of course, such occasions are relatively rare, but her hand
There really has always been a lack of props like this.
"If it's not too big, why should I use glass to coax you?" Chen Taizhong answered him with a smile, but he noticed the flash of light in her eyes and felt a little proud in his heart. Jewelry is indeed a woman's favorite. It's a gift like this.
It's really quite appropriate.
Ma Xiaoya felt slightly sour when she saw that there was a diamond ring inside. When she heard Su Wenxin call him "Taizhong" instead of "Xiao Chen", the muscles in the corner of her mouth couldn't help but twitch. However, she finally calmed down and remained silent.
But Su Wenxin refused to stop and turned to look at Ma Xiaoya. She asked with a smile, "Xiao Ma Taizhong gave me this ring to help me with something. Don't you have any other ideas?"
Of course Ma Xiaoya would have the idea that the diamond necklace Chen Taizhong gave her was worth much more than this, but it was just a necklace, not a ring - I believe everyone knows the meaning of the ring. Even Chen himself knew that he would not give the necklace away easily.
This means that he said to Su Wenxin that he had no idea that all his buddies have been married. You won’t misunderstand me anymore, right?
Ma Xiaoya knew that Su Wenxin meant to make fun of her, but at the same time she also knew that Mr. Su was crazy about playing cards and doing things the same way. If she couldn't deal with the Su sisters carefully, she might have the nerve to snatch him away.
To be honest, her status in the circle is too low. If she can get along with Mr. Yu, even if Su Wenxin is crazy, she will still have some scruples. Thinking of this, she chuckled, "Sister Su, you are joking. This is our intention and cannot be compromised."
Are you busy in vain?"
Seeing that her sister had received a diamond ring, Su Suxin took it and admired it carefully for a while. Then she glanced at Chen Taizhong and for some reason, Chen felt some vague resentment enveloped her.
Could it be that I didn't like her sister Su Wenxin, so I deliberately made things difficult and quoted a price of 100,000? The next moment, Chen started to think about it again, but in the end he shook his head and put the matter behind... This little money
It's really not worth fussing over.
Then comes the next question: "Xiao Ma, do you know anyone who is more familiar with people from this architectural association? I want to have a Luban Award for fun."
"Well... I really don't know." Ma Xiaoya pondered for a moment and finally shook her head. "People can definitely find it, but it's hard to say what kind of channel is in the middle. Why don't you ask Nangong."
Obviously such work is rare in this circle, so she doesn't know about it, but it sounds like Nangong's energy is a little greater than others. No wonder Yin Jinghua relies on the Huang family, but this circle still vaguely regards Nangong as the leader.
But Nangong Maomao was also busy. The girl named Xiaowen came over after singing the song and pestered Nangong, chattering non-stop and looking very excited.
Chen Taizhong listened carefully and realized why this girl was so happy. He introduced her to a deal to be photographed in a certain alcoholic advertisement. Although the cost was not very high, only about 100,000 yuan, but for her,
It's of great significance. If she can seize this opportunity, she can get rid of her identity as a Yedian singer.
Not to mention that Xiao Minjiu has been tainted with some gangster habits since he was at the bottom of society. "Brother Maomao, I bought your order today and you will be flattered by me when you get here."
Do you have the qualifications to pay for us? Nangong Maomao snorted in his heart. It is only natural that we calculate the money of outsiders, but taking advantage of you... I really can't afford to lose that person. Ye Luzi is Ye Luzi. This kind of words can be said out loud.
This little girl is still too tender.
But he didn't want to point it out - to point it out specifically would not only affect the atmosphere but also lose his identity. He smiled, shook his head and waved at Chen Taizhong, "Taizhong, do you... have something to tell me?"
This guy is really drunk and has a clear mind. Chen Taizhong knew that he had drunk a lot, but he was able to guess something through his casual glance. It was really amazing.
It saves trouble to talk to smart people. Chen Taizhong just said a few words, which meant that his Science and Technology Commission Building wanted to win the Luban Prize. Nangong had already reacted, "What company built the Science and Technology Commission in Phoenix City? The construction cost is not much, right?"
?”
With just one opening of his mouth, he hit on two important points and even vaguely alluded to the identity of Phoenix Prefecture-level City. Chen Taizhong couldn't help but give a thumbs up, "Your brother is so good at opening his mouth that he got to the point..."
"What's so great or not? Brother, I just have a blind eye." Nangong shook his head humbly, "Haha, after all, I have been living in Sijiu City for most of my life. Even if I have never eaten pork, have I ever seen a pig running?"
What is the allusion of the Four Nine Cities? Chen Taizhong heard that the Four Nine Cities refers to the capital city, but why is it the Forty-Nine - the number of thirty-six heavens? Of course. This doubt just passed by for a moment. Who is doing serious business?
Do you pay attention to trivial things? You don't have to appear uneducated.
After Nangong Maomao listened to his general introduction, she pondered for a while before shaking her head, "Sister Sun can handle this matter, but it's not convenient for her...To put it bluntly, Taizhong, your conditions are too poor."
"Does that mean it's not possible?" Chen Taizhong sighed and asked with a frown.
"Brother, there is no word 'no' in our dictionary." Nangong snorted. Although the drunkenness did not affect his judgment, it did not make him any more heroic. "Why can others get in with us because of their connections?"
Why can’t you go up?”
"That's right!" Chen Taizhong smiled, patted his thigh and gave a thumbs up, "Brother, I don't have the courage to say that, so I'll trouble you to worry about it."
"What can we two be so polite about?" Nangong Maomao smiled and shook his head as if he was disapproving, but his heart skipped a beat. This boast is a bit exaggerated. Is Taizhong planning to blackmail me?
In fact, for him, there are really not too many things that cannot be done in Beijing, but there are two words that must be emphasized - cost! This cost does not mean that there is more or less money. As long as money can solve it, it is not a problem.
It's about the cost of favors. There are some favors that you can't even spend money to buy.
So he slightly regretted that drinking too much wine was indeed not a good thing, but at least it was okay. He thought of a way out when he was bragging, "But Sister Sun is not good at doing this. Tai Zhong, don't you know Zou Jue? I heard from Sun
My sister said that guy helped people come down to win the Luban Prize...well, it is also a prefecture-level city project."
This is true at all, but Nangong Maomao intentionally or unintentionally ignored one thing. The Construction Bank Building in the prefecture-level city not only invested 120 million, but more importantly - it was China Construction Bank.
"Zou Jue." Chen Taizhong frowned when he heard this. To be honest, his impression of Zou Jue was not very good - the guy looked like he could drag himself out to play mahjong and even pretend to bring a tea master, but...
Others told him that Zou Jue really didn't have much money.
Moreover, that guy had lost a lot to Shao Guoli when he was betting with Svensson. He thought that Zou Jue might not be willing to help him, so he was stunned for a moment.
Chapter 1581: There are also those who don’t want to lose face
It was inappropriate to approach Zou Jue directly. Chen Taizhong finally made up his mind. It seemed that Wei Minghe had a good relationship with Zou Jue, so he might as well contact Director Wei first.
Unexpectedly, Director Wei seemed to have changed his temper and actually stayed in Qingjiang for more than ten days and did not come back. Only after answering his call did he express his opinion, "How many days will it take for me to go back? Do you have anything to do with me?"
"Forget it, I'd better go find Shao Guoli." Chen Taizhong smiled bitterly and said to Zou Jue with his temper, Old Wei, if you just make a phone call, I'm afraid it won't be successful or even bad, then Shao Guoli, Mr. Shao can definitely live and feed Zou Jue——
The next best thing to do is find Lao Shao.
When Mr. Shao heard that he had come to Beijing, he laughed and scolded him, "You are too loyal. You don't even know how to say hello when you come. I will punish you for being so angry."
"Well, I finally have some time for business." Chen Taizhong laughed dryly, "You have plans for the afternoon. Can you find a place to sit down at noon?"
"You can sit down, but this penalty is unavoidable." Shao Guoli laughed over there, "Forget it, I won't embarrass you. I will go to Europe to see two friends in a while. Use your resources from the Paris model industry to greet you."
I won’t care anymore.”
"Haha, isn't that just a sentence?" Chen Taizhong chuckled, "By the way, I want to ask Zou Jue something. Please call him up and remember to lend a helping hand."
"Yeah, okay." Shao Guoli replied very happily, but he didn't ask what he wanted to do. This is also the way of the yamen. They were asked too much. Since they were not looking for him to do something, he would never ask what it was.
——When people came to Zou Jue, they naturally asked about it. At the very least, Xiao Zou’s advantage in doing things should be greater than him. What kind of things does he have so many things?
Lunch was at an extremely secretive restaurant. Chen Taizhong drove the car and searched for a long time before he found it. But after driving in, he realized that the space inside was not small and the restaurant was of a high quality. It was antique and elegant, but not unusual.
He couldn't help but lament that there were so many places like this in Beijing for the sense of luxury he was deliberately pursuing.
Zou Jue still looked that slutty, and he still had a helper, Shao Guoli, beside him. There was also a pretty girl with a low eyebrow, but Chen was the only one who fell behind in terms of style.
Chen Taizhong would never ask Mr. Zou if he didn't ask for her, so the three of them chatted nonsense while eating and drinking. However, Zou Jue also hooked up with two Parisian female models through Chen last time and had a night of ecstasy. This attitude was better than before.
Of course it's much better.
It wasn't until everyone was done eating and drinking that Chen Taizhong raised the question, "Lao Zou heard that you helped others win the Luban Award. I now have such a project here..."
"It's not easy to handle." After hearing what he said, Zou Jue pondered for a moment before shaking his head and rejecting it. He was really happy. "CCB will definitely have no problem getting this award. Your science and technology committee is too bad."
"If it's too close, can I ask you?" Shao Guoli really helped, but his words were quite harsh. "Xiao Zou, we are all friends, so don't keep pushing away like a bitch."
"I didn't say I wouldn't help, right?" Zou Jue rolled his eyes at him and snorted before turning his head to look at Chen Taizhong, "But first, let me ask how much do you plan to spend on this?"
"Money is easy to talk about," Chen Taizhong replied with a smile, "I will pay you as much as you need. If you need it, Lao Zou, just ask."
"Let me try half a ton for you first." Zou Jue really dared to look at his understatement and said five million as if he was talking about five yuan. "If I can get five tons, I am 99% sure..."
…Of course your building is about the same."
Isn't it? Even if Chen Taizhong was prepared to spend a lot of money, he was so shocked by these words that the corner of his mouth twitched slightly. He could use this small amount of money, but... five tons would be enough to build two more buildings.
"What are you..." Shao Guoli couldn't stand listening anymore and opened his mouth to say, "Are you crazy because of your poverty?" But when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them back. The two have been bickering since they met, and they have been bickering until now.
But he still knows what words are appropriate and what words are inappropriate.
"If you are lacking in one aspect, you have to make up for it in another aspect. Or else I said it was impossible from the beginning?" Zou Jue glanced at him and understood what this guy wanted to say, so he lazily explained, "It's not that I want to take so much.
It requires such a large investment... Look at which of the current Luban Award projects does not have a cost of nine or tens of digits?"
"Taizhong, you... the cost is a bit high. Can you afford it?" Shao Guoli glanced at Chen Taizhong and frowned slightly. He didn't expect that he would have to pay for it out of his own pocket. He said that the Science and Technology Commission of a mere prefecture-level city was thirty-five.
One million in public relations fees can probably be deducted under some name, but 50 million... it's not easy to do the accounting.
Why do I feel that your talk is just a disguised excuse to provoke me? Chen Taizhong felt a little unhappy. If it had been two years ago, he would have agreed without saying a word - this small amount of money is nothing in the eyes of my buddies.
!
But it's different now. He has learned to pretend to be a grandson on certain occasions. Of course, he doesn't mind changing the strategy appropriately. Especially when he looks at Zou Jue's nonchalant look, he feels particularly uncomfortable: Do you feel like I'm separated from you?
Is there no way to get things done?
You are still far away from defeating me! Chen Taizhong smiled bitterly and shook his head slightly, "Five tons... How to deal with this is really a problem. I have to ask the leader for instructions."
"Well, the public relations cost is definitely higher than the construction cost. It's hard to explain wherever you go." Zou Jue nodded lazily and was not at all annoyed by the other party's withdrawal. He looked like "I don't care about these two small coins at all." "Too loyal."
It’s better to think about it carefully.”
The tone of this guy's words is really unbearable. Fortunately, Mr. Chen's restraint has greatly increased recently and he knows that this guy has always been like this, so he doesn't care about him.
However, fairness and justice prevail in people's hearts. Even if he didn't care about Shao Guoli, he still felt a little embarrassed about his face. When they were about to leave, he took the opportunity to quietly whisper to him, "Xiao Zou's family is very strict about his money. You just know that..."
If it were another person, Shao would never say such a thing. Although Zou Jue did something a little outrageous, he didn't want to be laughed at when everyone was together. However, Xiao Chen is a good person and he is not too small. Even if he wins money in Macau, he doesn't want to.
What do you want - we can't be sorry to our friends, can we?
Chen Taizhong had known for a long time that Zou Jue's money was tight, and now that he heard these words, he was even more certain that Zou Jue had opened his mouth like a lion just now - wasn't it that even Lao Shao couldn't stand it?
It's a good thing that my brother didn't agree just now, otherwise he would have become a ridiculous big guy? But he wasn't angry, he just thought it was a bit funny: Just pretend to be B, and pretend to be good, brother, I won't ask you to do this.
Haha, let’s see who will be angry when the time comes.
After dinner, it was only half past one. Chen Taizhong parked the car on the side of the road and was wondering if he should go to Jing Junwei's studio when he received a call from Fan Rushuang. Mr. Fan's voice sounded a little trembling: "Xiao Chen from America."
The Kaiser Aluminum Plant exploded!" (Note)
I definitely didn't do this! Chen Taizhong didn't react for a moment and stared in confusion for a while before he came back to his senses, "Well... Mr. Fan, I remember that you have the habit of taking a lunch break, right?"
"How can I still sleep?" Fan Rushuang chuckled. She actually knew that for a layman like Xiao Chen, she really didn't know what the news meant, so she had to explain it in detail. "Caesar Aluminum Plant is the second largest alumina plant in the world.
The price of alumina will rise soon after the explosion of Gramercy Alumina Plant!"
Oh, No. 2 in the world, well done! Chen Taizhong knows that Lin Aluminum is half-dead now because the alumina cannot be sold, which directly affects the price and payment method of bauxite in Xiama Township, so this explosion is a good thing.
However, he still didn't understand something: "But Mr. Fan, we are currently running an electrolytic aluminum project, right? What does this have to do with alumina?"
"This...:16xs.com..." Fan Dongxin said, why are you so stupid? "If the price of alumina goes up, can the price of electrolytic aluminum not go up? This project must be started immediately. If it is too late, it will be ruined!"
"
Chen Taizhong thought it made sense after her training. My brother has been in the officialdom for so long and his EQ has gone up a bit. Why is his IQ slowly dropping? "Haha, I contacted Mr. Huang and I can't guarantee his time."
I’ll contact him again in the afternoon.”
"Well, please contact me quickly. I'm going to make something more for the company." Fan Rushuang's excitement can be heard through the phone. "We have to wait for others to react quickly before it's too late."
Is this explosion very big? After hanging up the phone, Chen Taizhong was a little confused. It is impossible for such a big factory to blow up. Will the impact really be huge?
Seeing that the time was already close to two o'clock, he dialed a phone call to Nick in Birmingham, "Nick, let me ask you, will the explosion of the Kaiser Aluminum Plant have a big impact on the international alumina price?"
"Hmm...aluminum oxide?" Nick was still in a daze, not fully awake yet. "Are you sure it's aluminum oxide...Okay, I'll give you an answer within half an hour. Can you let me brush my teeth first?"
?"
After hanging up the phone, Chen Taizhong didn't want to hang around anymore. There was still half an hour left. Let's take a nap in the car. Who would have thought that he had just adjusted his seat. The phone rang again. This time, it was Wei Minghe. The call sounded tongue-tied.
It’s a bit big. “Taizhong, are you having lunch with Zou Jue for lunch?”
