"Favor cannot be measured by money. It may not be worth a penny, or it may be worth a fortune. If you can apply for those development procedures, then you won't have to look for me. I will come to you myself and beg you."
I’ll invest in you. But now you have to help me take care of Carl, pull him to play with you more, don’t let him run around, this is a favor, you have to help, and I don’t have to pay, hehehe!”
Paul is no worse than Hong Tao in terms of words, and he won't get much advantage in fighting Hong Tao, because he has a thicker face than Hong Tao, and he can passionately describe tax evaders as national heroes in court. This skill can be learned from Hong Tao's.
You will never learn it in a lifetime.
"Vera and Tasia are wasting their lives here. They will have greater development in the United States. How about you let them come with me? I will apply for work visas for them and let them do what they are best at."
Work." However, Paul had a common hobby with the fat boss, which was to be an uncle to young and beautiful girls. When he met Vera and Tasia and listened to the music they played, he immediately asked Hong Tao about it.
The origin of the two people, and then the fox tail was revealed.
"I can't save them from one fire pit and push them into another fire pit!" Hong Tao refused to believe that Paul was thinking the same thing as he said.
"Actually, you shouldn't doubt my character. Being mean, suspicious, cold, ruthless, and stingy are all my professional qualities. But I'm not a liar who deceives little girls. You can understand their situation at any time. I just don't want to see two people.
A talented young man is just wasting his time with you." Paul tried to express himself.
"That will have to wait a few months. You are not a philanthropist, and neither am I, so I have to ask them to help me get through this initial period. In the fall, I will ask them to find you, but you won't
You can't even wait a few months, right?" Hong Tao thought about it. Although Paul was a very bad person, even his nephew didn't like him. But when he was in the United States, Hong Tao had never heard of him having any problems with the relationship between men and women.
Nothing out of the ordinary, even Karl, who hated him to the core, didn't complain about it.
"That's fair. You are becoming more and more like us. This is a good change. Do you still plan to go to the United States to compete this year? The first race will start at the end of the month." Paul stretched out his hand and shook hands with Hong Tao.
, even if he agreed to this matter, he then asked about Hong Tao's personal movements.
"I'll rush over two days before the start of the competition. I've already signed up for the competition. I have to participate in a few more stops this year. It's best to win the championship. I need money here." Hong Tao pointed to the reservoir.
"You said it too lightly. Do you think the FLW competition is your bank account?" Paul was disgusted with Hong Tao's arrogant tone.
"It's not a bank account, it's an ATM. As long as there is money in it, I can withdraw it! By the way, how about we gamble a few more times this year? It doesn't have to be more, it's just the same as the competition bonus, and I'll take your money too.
No, I win once. How about you make an additional investment?" Hong Tao has been idle for several months, and finally it's his turn to have the final say on something. He won't give up until he brags to death.
"...I'm not a fool...but I can help you find a few fools. How about we split it half and half after you win?" Paul gritted his teeth and finally did not dare to bet with Hong Tao again.
"No problem! It's settled!" Hong Tao is now a cook and is not afraid of big-bellied men. He would dare to bet 1 million, let alone tens of thousands of dollars.
On Labor Day in 2010, Hong Tao's reservoir finally opened for business. Starting from April, he began to fool around on several forums. Then he selected some satisfactory photos he had taken here in the past few months.
I sent it with a text description. And Baichuan did not break his promise. He sent a set-up team to walk around the reservoir and filmed a documentary of more than 20 minutes. In the name of introducing the Taolinkou Scenic Area, he focused on the introduction.
I visited this reservoir with the theme of environmentally friendly fishing organized by Hong Tao. As for the shots of the scenic spot, except for the beginning and the end, there are basically few shots to be found.
In the first three days of opening, Hong Tao mainly used it to receive familiar netizens and fishing friends. The small building he named Xianrenju was closed to the public and only entertained friends invited by Hong Tao. Since it was a holiday, the business of the reservoir was still open.
It’s really good. The two motorized iron boats responsible for picking up and dropping off fishing friends have been going back and forth between the pier and the fishing spots since 6 o’clock in the morning. When there were too many people, Hong Tao had to send the two speedboats out to avoid leaving the fishing spots.
Fishing friends have waited too long.
In addition, Hong Tao also contacted several local village and town cadres who often went to the nearby mountains to herd sheep and cattle. He purchased wild chestnuts, hazelnuts and wild vegetables from the mountains, and then put them in Xianrenju, together with the wild fat-headed fish, to sell to tourists.
For sale, although the price is very high, they sell quickly. Chestnuts and hazelnuts are almost gone as soon as they arrive. Wild fat-headed fish weighing 10 pounds are also in short supply. Wild vegetables are put in the restaurant as a special dish.
In addition, free-range chickens, sheep and eggs are also products that tourists like to buy. People who come here to fish will stay for at least 3 days, and usually they come in groups of 2 or 3 people.
Before entering the reservoir area, buy some eggs, chicken or mutton. Once you arrive in the reservoir area, you will have one or two more dishes every day.
In addition to providing better services to these fishermen, Hong Tao also set stricter rules for them. Fishermen cannot use lead pendants and can only use iron pendants or pendants made of other materials instead. Each group of fishermen
The garbage on the fishing position must be picked up, bagged and brought on board, then transported to the pier and stacked together. Every week, Hong Tao's specially hired truck will take it to the town's garbage station and dump it out.
Hong Tao also stipulates the size and weight of each fish that can be caught in accordance with foreign fishing laws. Fish below this size and weight are not allowed to be taken away, let alone fishing for silver carp and silver carp. If caught, they will be severely punished.
Penalty. These rules are printed on the fishing ticket, and a special notice board is made on the pier to publicize it to everyone who comes to fish.
If you do this, you will definitely lose some fishermen. Some people are lazy, some people don't have this awareness, and some people are intentional. However, there is an advantage of this reservoir, that is, the only road leading to the outside is the dam.
Only the pier here at the dam can enter the reservoir area by boat. So Hong Tao has the confidence to strictly enforce his own regulations. If you don't agree, I won't let you in. If you can't do it, I won't let you out.
, we won’t hit or scold anyone, and I won’t drag you around to see who can outlast the other.
In fact, rules are just a habit. As long as you implement them conscientiously, no one will specifically violate them, because violating them will not do them any good, but will cause harm. However, there are exceptions here, such as county and township management.
If some related households here come here to fish, Hong Tao can't enforce it. These people are local snakes and can't afford to offend him. However, Hong Tao doesn't completely ignore them. Whenever these people come, he will keep his words.
Please give a reminder to others, and then send special personnel to help them pick up garbage, but the size of the fish cannot be controlled. Take it away if you like. This is also part of the cost. Fortunately, there are not many of these people.
The trial operation has been open for more than half a month, and it is basically normal. Four of the five people Gao Miao helped him find are dedicated people who have lived near the reservoir for most of their lives, and they know everything about the work in the reservoir.
, understands better than Hong Tao, so Hong Tao doesn’t need to worry about most of the work.
When encountering some unlikable people, the youngest among the five can come forward. He is only in his early 30s and is famous for his hob meat in his hometown. He doesn't have any oil or salt. For a chicken
, he can scold the whole village for just a brick. He is not afraid of you in a fight. If you dare to take out a knife, he will dare to fight you. Moreover, their five brothers, including his father, are all
This is the virtue.
With him here in charge, ordinary people can't deal with him. No matter how powerful the police station is, Hong Tao will deliver fish to the police station once a week. He will also help the director and deputy director handle any notes that are difficult to reimburse.
The best at dealing with these little frictions.
The best business is actually Xianrenju. It doesn’t matter how skilled the cook is. The dishes sold here are all farm-style. They don’t pay attention to fine workmanship. They rely entirely on various wild and free-range animal and plant ingredients to attract people. These things
It is not attractive to people living in villages and towns near the reservoir, but it is very new to tourists who come here to fish and play, especially those from big cities.
But these are not the main points. What really makes Xianrenju attractive is Vera and Tasia. With these two foreign women sitting in charge and playing music, Xianrenju seems to be different from other restaurants.
Especially there is a cafe here, where you can drink coffee, eat Ukrainian-style snacks made by Vera herself, listen to piano and violin playing, and look at the hazy water outside the window, which seems to have a little bit of a petty bourgeois sentiment.
It is very popular with many young tourists.
Therefore, Xianrenju not only became a place for fishermen to eat and sleep, but also attracted tourists who were supposed to stay at the restaurant in the scenic spot. Later, even some business negotiations in the county and town came here, which is known as
It's both special and classy. Hong Tao didn't expect this. Originally it was just a bad idea of Pan's, but now it seems that the taste is not particularly bad.
Hong Tao didn't have time to appreciate whether Pan's idea was bad or not. The time for his competition was coming soon, so he could only put aside the reservoir matter for a while and boarded a flight to the United States with Irene. Irene accompanied Paul back.
God, both Katie and Pan were honest. Pan simply ran away to Shanghai, and Katie spent the whole day with Rachel, claiming to be familiar with the company's business. (To be continued...)
