Tang Aimin and Ye Shaofeng were the only two people left in the restaurant.
Tang Aimin stood up, closed the door in the restaurant, then walked back to the dining table, picked up a bottle of Erguotou, and filled it up for Ye Shaofeng.
This is not the ordinary Erguotou that costs 20 to 30 bottles per bottle. This is the genuine Erguotou given to Tang Aimin by Erguotou’s agent in Luyang City. The market price is more than 2,000 per bottle.
In Luyang City, Tang Aimin never poured wine for anyone. When eating, he always sat in the front seat and then waited for the people next to him to pour wine for him. Moreover, when Tang Aimin went out to drink, he always did it by himself. And boiled water. People and high-quality liquor.
Tang Aimin would drink only when he ate with his own people.
But today, Tang Aimin not only treated Ye Shaofeng as one of his own and drank together, but also actually treated Ye Shaofeng as a guest of honor and took the initiative to pour wine for Ye Shaofeng.
Ye Shaofeng quickly stood up, holding the wine glass in both hands as a sign of respect.
The cup was full of wine, with an astringent aroma. Tang Aimin also filled it for himself. Then he raised his glass and said, "My dears, let's have a drink."
As he spoke, the wine cups clinked together, raised his neck, and drank.
"Come, come, come and eat. Your aunt's cooking is pretty good, right?" Tang Aimin said, picking up a piece of braised pork and putting it on Ye Shaofeng's plate. The atmosphere between the two was more like that of a father and son.
It is true that Ye Shaofeng has been watched by Tang Aimin since he was a child. He has never had a father. Tang Aimin has always played the role of father.
Ye Shaofeng naturally respects Tang Aimin very much. In his eyes, the man in front of him is not only the leader of Luyang officialdom, but also the guide of his life.
Tang Aimin's righteousness and selflessness are what he has always wanted to imitate since he was a child. It can be said that Tang Aimin is the man who has the most influence on Ye Shaofeng.
"Uncle Tang. I...I already have a girlfriend. The girl's name is Chang Miaoke. She is from the Zonghai Group..."
Ye Shaofeng was halfway through his words. Then Tang Aimin smiled and waved his hands and said: "Shaofeng, uncle is drinking with you. You think you just want to talk about your private life.
Wrong. We are all gentlemen. Those old ladies think about things like loving children.
What do we gentlemen want? What we want is dignity. What we want is rights. What we want is money. What we want is loyalty. And finally, women."
"Uncle Tang, you said you had something to say to me. What did you want to say? Isn't it because of the matter between me and Jiaqian?" Ye Shaofeng asked.
"Shaofeng. Uncle knew that you had a sweetheart. He knew that you and the daughter of the Zonghai Group were in a relationship. After all, I am a member of the officialdom. I see everything that happens in your life.
Boy, who do you like? That is your own business. Although our family is more traditional, it is not feudal. Although you and Jiaqian are married at the fingertips and have a baby engagement, but who will you end up with? Being together is your business. Our two families don't care about political marriage. As long as you, the younger generation, can be happy, we old people will also be happy.
Neither Jiaqian nor her mother knows your identity, let alone this baby-child relationship. Don't worry, I won't mention this matter to them.
I know that you still have a long way to go. Marriage is still a long time away for you. So now you can go with whomever you want. Just find what you really like.
Okay, uncle, I won’t talk to you about these love affairs anymore. Let’s talk about serious things.”
"Please give me your advice on serious matters." Ye Shaofeng said respectfully.
"You are now the leader of Nancheng. You are the boss of Longtang. You have an unclear relationship with Zonghai Group. Do you have any plans?" Tang Aimin mentioned Zonghai Group. Obviously he had no idea about the nature of Zonghai Group. Already understood.
"Zonghai Group is a gangster enterprise. It made its fortune by distributing and reselling drugs. Zonghai Group is the hub of drug sales in the entire Luyang area. What I want to do next is to terminate the drug business of Zonghai Group and turn this hub into Abolish and completely eliminate the problem of drug proliferation in Luyang area." Ye Shaofeng said.
"Okay. This is what I'm waiting for.
Zonghai Group can be said to be the source of drugs in the entire H Province. They have the only purchase channel. They buy white powder. Drug dealers of all sizes in H Province will come to them to purchase. Once they stop selling, the solution is not just this. The drug problem is not in Luyang area, but in Province H of the entire Republic.
As far as I know, 70% of the drugs in our province H are sold from the Zonghai Group. Containing the Zonghai Group and turning it from a mafia group into a regular enterprise is your primary goal. "
Tang Aimin was issuing an order to Ye Shaofeng. Ye Shaofeng nodded seriously and said: "Chang Miaoke, the current CEO of Zonghai Group, told me that she wanted to completely transform Zonghai Group. Let this underworld group . Enter the IT industry and become a leading e-commerce company. Keep pace with leading e-commerce companies such as Moubao, Dangdang, and TX Mall. She has plans in this area. She also has technical talents in this area. But..."
"But what you lack is the funds in this area, right?" Tang Aimin said with a smile.
Ye Shaofeng nodded and said: "You are right. There is a lack of funds. If the drug sales of Zonghai Group are terminated now, then the economy of Zonghai Group will suddenly decline. There will be no operating funds. Even the prototype of e-commerce will not be enough. We can’t build it, and we can’t afford to hire technical talent. So we have to take our time and we can’t rush for success.”
"I'm short of money. I have a way." Tang Aimin said.
"You have a way. You can help me. Can you upgrade Zonghai Group to an enterprise that is supported by the city?" Ye Shaofeng said excitedly.
"This is not possible for the time being. After all, if Zonghai Group's e-commerce can make some progress, I can definitely apply for a provincial enterprise support plan for you. But you only have a prototype now. It has not even been officially operational. In this case, it is impossible for the Department of Finance to allocate funds.
Don’t worry. As long as Zonghai Group can build the e-mall in a short period of time and achieve results, I will definitely be able to get provincial support funds for you.”
"However, we are also short of money now. What we lack is starting capital. Without starting capital, our development will be very slow, let alone any improvement in a short period of time. We are mentally prepared to lose money in the past five years. "Ye Shaofeng shook his head and said with a bitter smile.
"As I said just now, regarding the money, I have a way to get the funds from the Ministry of Finance. When it expands in the future, I will apply for it for you. Now, for the start-up funds, you can find a loan from the bank.
Don’t forget. Your aunt is now the president and executive director of the regional head office of China Construction Bank. It’s easy to get a loan from your family, don’t you think?" Tang Aimin said with a smile...
