At noon the next day, after learning that Chu Tianyao had agreed, Zheng Peng held a banquet at the hotel that day.
Originally, he wanted to introduce several senior executives of the company to get to know Chu Tianyao, but Chu Tianyao declined the idea of a celebration banquet many times on the phone. Zheng Peng had no choice but to agree, and just invited Chu Tianyao to have a meal in private in his own name.
potluck.
Zheng Peng only brought his assistant Sun Chongming, while Chu Tianyao also called David Yu, who loved to join in the fun.
After all, it was just two people eating, so it was a bit deserted.
He took the time to call Liu Na and chatted for a few words. After Chu Tianyao hung up the phone, he called David Yu and left the hotel together.
Six pm.
Luohu District, Shenzhen City, as one of the earliest developed areas, already had a bit of a metropolitan atmosphere in the 1990s.
Jingyue Hotel.
When David Yu's red Ferrari parked in front of the hotel, a reception boy wearing a red uniform had already greeted him with a smile.
"Here, be careful when you park the car."
David Yu threw the key in his hand to the other party, and also handed over ten dollars.
The profession of parking boy was naturally introduced from the port city after the reform and opening up. As a large number of Hong Kong and Taiwanese businessmen came to the mainland, they also brought local customs with them, gradually changing the Shenzhen city.
"Don't worry, boss!"
The greeting man grinned and quickly accepted the tip from David Yu.
Although we are moving towards modernization, the concept of tipping has not yet emerged in the Mainland. People who are willing to tip usually don't even think about it, they must be big bosses from Hong Kong City.
“Every time I come to Shenzhen, I feel that this place has changed a lot.”
Standing outside this newly opened luxury hotel, David Yu couldn't help but sigh.
At present, even mainlanders who want to enter Shenzhen City need to apply for a temporary residence permit and a border defense permit. Chu Tianyao and David Yu both applied for passes by issuing letters of introduction through corporate relationships. If ordinary people from outside the customs want to enter Shenzhen City,
, that is extremely difficult.
The so-called "Guan Nei Guan Wai" is actually a commonly used expression in the Shenzhen Stock Exchange.
Not the entire Shenzhen city is considered a special zone. Looking at it, only a few districts such as Luohu and Futian are considered pilot areas for reform and opening up, while Baoan, Longgang and other places are considered outside the customs. At present, they are generally still in poverty.
Online, there is almost a world of difference from the prosperity in Guanhai.
This is also the reason why many people outside the customs try to sneak into the customs.
The Shenzhen Special Administrative Region in the 1990s was a gold-mining land that countless people dreamed of. Facts have proved that many billionaires in later generations almost made their fortunes on the first pot of gold in the city.
With emotions about the coming decades of Shenzhen City, Chu Tianyao and David Yu had already walked into the hotel, and led by the welcoming lady to the private room booked by Zheng Peng.
In a hotel room.
When Chu Tianyao stepped into the luxuriously decorated private room, he couldn't help but feel dazed for a moment.
The entire private room is decorated in a Chinese style. The private room is dozens of square meters in size. There are wooden rattan chairs and coffee tables for guests on the side, and the sweet sounds of silk and bamboo are heard next to it.
Chu Tianyao followed the sound and saw that there was a separate compartment separated by a layer of gauze. Inside, there was a woman dressed in ancient style playing the guzheng.
"High mountains and flowing water, I didn't expect Mr. Zheng to be so elegant!"
Unlike David Yu, who was still dazed at the side, Chu Tianyao was only distracted for a moment, and then smiled at Zheng Peng who was sitting at the table.
"Oh? Brother Chu still knows guzheng?"
Hearing Chu Tianyao's words, Zheng Peng was also surprised.
The song played by the woman in the compartment was the famous "High Mountains and Flowing Waters".
Of course, ordinary people like David Yu would not be able to hear it at all.
"I don't understand it, but I've heard it twice occasionally. It's just arty."
Chu Tianyao took his seat with a smile and answered casually.
Although Chu Tianyao said it casually, in Zheng Peng's opinion, it was even more extraordinary.
"Even the tables and chairs are made of high-quality huanghuali. Mr. Zheng, you spent a lot of money on this meal."
He stretched out his hand to touch the table, and as soon as Chu Tianyao sat down, he smiled again.
Just by saying these words, Zheng Peng couldn't help but wave his hands, with a somewhat disinterested but secretly proud expression.
"What does this mean? Brother Chu has solved a big problem for me. Let alone a meal. As long as you are willing to come to this restaurant to eat often in the future, the account will be mine."
Although the celebration banquet was not successful, he did not want to go out of standard, so he specially booked the best private room in this hotel. The price of today's meal alone is probably enough to make people stagger.
However, Zheng Peng behaves in a low-key manner, so he took a fancy to the Chinese style of this private room.
However, in the eyes of ordinary people, they may not see any special skills and just regard it as an ordinary luxurious private room. However, they did not expect that Chu Tianyao is a knowledgeable person.
Not only did he know a little bit about guzheng, he actually recognized the huanghuali in this room as soon as he walked in.
This was equivalent to a good flattery, which made Zheng Peng feel a little more sympathetic towards Chu Tianyao.
During the dinner, Zheng Peng asked Sun Chongming to instruct the waiter to start serving the dishes.
On the side, seeing Zheng Peng in a good mood, David Yu couldn't help but give Chu Tianyao a thumbs up under the table.
You know, there are many people outside who want to flatter Zheng Peng but they are too late, but these few words from Chu Tianyao make Zheng Peng think of him as a confidant.
This public relations strength alone is beyond the reach of David.
In his opinion, isn't this just an ordinary wooden dining table?
After a while, all the dishes on the table were served.
There are 18 neat dishes, from bird's nest, shark's fin, big black ginseng, to the white-smelling Buddha jumping over the wall in the middle. It is a perfect version of the Manchu-Han banquet.
"Shenzhen City is near the sea. The Manchu-Han banquet has eight dishes from the eight delicacies of the sea. In addition, the Buddha Jumping Over the Wall is also a specialty dish of the chef of this restaurant. This must be reserved in advance."
Zheng Peng introduced with enthusiasm, and then turned to look at Sun Chongming, with a somewhat mysterious smile in his eyes.
"Brother Chu, I specially prepared a bottle of good wine for you this time."
As Zheng Peng's words came out, Sun Chongming also took out a bottle of Lao Moutai that he had prepared.
Putting the wine bottle with some yellowing stickers on the table, Sun Chongming also smiled at Chu Tianyao and said: "Mr. Chu, this bottle of Feitian Moutai is fifteen years old. We, Mr. Zheng, usually treasure it. Most people can't drink it."
To his wine stash.”
When Sun Chongming said this, Chu Tianyao also said cheerfully: "Then I have to try it tonight."
For Moutai, most Chinese people drink it because of its reputation. After all, it was once advertised as the national liquor. At the banquets of the state elders, the special liquor position was almost always exclusive to Moutai.
