The two classmates were chatting enthusiastically when Zheng Jianguo suddenly intervened: "Zhou Yan, I heard that Xinghan just acquired a piece of land in the West Railway Station area. The area is not small?"
Is it you who should ask such a question?
Zhou Yan was slightly dissatisfied, looked up at the other party, and said with a smile: "I don't know much about this. The real estate company is responsible for the real estate. I haven't had time to pay attention to this for a while..."
Zhou Yan cut off the topic in one sentence.
Zheng Jianguo's intention is very obvious, he wants to take a piece from the cake of Xinghan Construction.
However, Xinghan has many fixed construction teams with complete qualifications and a good reputation. The most important thing is that the construction quality can support the Xinghan Real Estate brand.
Zheng Jianguo's company, similar to a leather bag company, obviously does not have such capabilities, and may even ruin Zhou Yan's brand.
After all, Zheng Jianguo only started out as a contractor. His painting skills were average, and he relied on his "noble" status. Seeing that Zhou Yan had blocked the topic, he was too embarrassed to dwell on it.
When Yan Wentao saw this, he silently gave Zhou Yan a thumbs up in his heart.
Zhou Yan came here to help his classmates hold the show, so good things must be done to the end. After the wine circle was finished, he took out two long boxes from the bag beside him with a smile and handed them to Yan Wentao.
"Lao Yan, you're getting married, and we don't have anything to give as gifts. A while ago, we exchanged two paintings with others and went back to hang them on the wall as decoration!"
The two were old classmates. As soon as Zhou Yan opened his mouth, Yan Wentao knew that this guy was going to cause trouble, so he just took the box with a smile and put it aside.
"Thanks!"
"Old classmate, why are you so polite!"
Zheng Jianguo on the side had just been humiliated by Zhou Yan. Now that he saw Zhou Yan sending something, he subconsciously wanted to take advantage of it and find an opportunity to attack the opponent.
"Xiao Yan, don't put it away in a hurry, open it for everyone to see!"
Yan Wentao, who had originally planned to play hard to get, hesitated for a moment, looked at Zhou Yan with a troubled face.
"Why don't you let everyone take a look!"
"Okay then," Yan Wentao picked up one of the boxes, opened it, and opened the painting inside.
"This is……"
Looking at the bold freehand style grapes in front of them, everyone in the Hong family frowned.
On the contrary, when the two elders of the Yan family saw clearly the money left on the painting, they both looked at Zhou Yan in surprise: "Xiao Zhou, isn't this too expensive?"
"That's it..." Yan Wentao usually likes calligraphy, so he can naturally recognize that the inscription in this freehand sketch is "Old Man Baishi".
Hong Ying on the side observed for a while, then stared at Yan Wentao in surprise: "This seems to be a painting by Qi Baishi, right?"
"What does it look like? That's it!" Yan Wentao frowned and looked back at Zhou Yan, "Old Zhou, isn't this thing too expensive?"
"You can just accept it with peace of mind," Zhou Yan chuckled, "I got these two paintings in exchange for two calligraphy and paintings I wrote myself, without spending any money..."
Everyone in Lao Hong's family was shocked. Their faces were full of envy, jealousy, and hatred.
"Where's another pair?"
The other painting is also the work of old man Shiraishi, but the content of the painting is replaced by pomegranates...
After finishing the calligraphy and painting, Father Yan looked at Yan Wentao and Hong Ying with a smile on his face: "You have to thank Xiao Zhou. The two paintings and calligraphy have a good meaning, grapes and pomegranates, more children, more blessings..."
Yan Wentao and Hong Ying's faces suddenly turned red.
"Okay, put it away!"
With Zhou Yan's coquettish operation in front, from this moment to the end of the banquet, Zheng Jianguo didn't mention the house decoration again.
When the banquet is over, everyone at the table goes back to their homes.
After sending the others away, Yan Wentao looked back at Zhou Yan, who was left at the end: "Old Zhou, where will you stay tonight?"
"Feitian!" Zhou Yan smiled evilly.
"You guy..." Yan Wentao was depressed by this guy's bad taste. After thinking about it, he raised his hand and looked at the time, "It's not even eight o'clock yet, and there's still some time until dark. Let's find a place.
Sit down for a while?”
"Can I bring my wife with me?"
"Of course it's no problem," Yan Wentao smiled, "A new bar has opened at Jincheng University. The drinks are pretty good. Let's go and try it together?"
Zhou Yan knew that this guy must be in trouble, so he didn't refuse: "Anyway, I'm on my way!"
After entering the bar, Yan Wentao chose a quiet seat, motioned for Zhou Yan and Qin Ruoshu to sit down, and then snapped his fingers.
"Waiter, take your order!"
"Old Zhou, what would you like to drink?" Yan Wentao asked the waiter for the drink list and placed it in front of Zhou Yan, "How about ordering a few bottles of wine? I know your drinking capacity..."
"Forget it," Zhou Yan picked up the list and looked at it, "Here's a pot of chrysanthemum tea to relieve the tiredness!"
"You, you don't have to save money for me," Yan Wentao smiled helplessly, picked up the order and took a look at it, "A large snack, and three glasses of juice..."
After the waiter left, Yan Wentao sat down on the sofa, with a look of disaster on his face: "Lao Zhou, thank you for being here this afternoon, otherwise I don't know what kind of trouble that Zheng Jianguo would come up with!"
"Your uncle's in-law, I guess he can calm down for a while!" Zhou Yan smiled, thought about it, and asked, "By the way, have the bride's family's dowry been discussed?"
"Bedding, daily necessities, TV, refrigerator, washing machine..." Yan Wentao counted with his fingers, "No better than your father-in-law, he can easily buy a multi-million sports car!"
"Well..." Zhou Yan smiled mysteriously, "Can you ask Hong Ying's uncle to provide some dowry for you?"
"Isn't this not good?" Yan Wentao was a little embarrassed.
"Old Yan, you have to pay to have a say in this kind of thing," Zhou Yan chuckled, "As a real estate boss, he doesn't want to decorate the whole house, so he has the nerve to point out the decoration?"
"This..." Yan Wentao reacted immediately, "You sent two freehand sketches by Qi Baishi, could it be to fight with Zheng Jianguo?"
"It's not like..."
"Sir, your tea, drinks, and snacks..."
"Thanks!"
"Oh, by the way," Yan Wentao turned around and stared at Zhou Yan, "What are the prices in those two sketches?"
"Zheng Jianguo sold the company and was able to collect two paintings of similar size."
"Lao Zhou, this is a bit much..."
"Didn't I tell you that I exchanged my own works for free..." Zhou Yan happily picked up the tea and took a sip, "By the way, your department leaders should be there when you get married, right?"
"
"Well..." Yan Wentao nodded, "Do you need me to introduce you?"
"No need," Zhou Yan put down his tea cup, "After landing, Lin Yong gave me a message, saying that the Suzhou Provincial Government wanted to have a discussion with me, and the content was nothing more than investment.
Real estate has been settled, and what is left is nothing more than energy, minerals, agricultural and animal husbandry products, and cultural tourism projects.”
"In terms of energy..." Yan Wentao picked up the drink, took a sip, and suddenly remembered something, "I remember Qingyan Group, the solar thermal project seems to be relatively successful, and there are additional agricultural and animal husbandry benefits..."
"I will give you some information later. When the two parties negotiate, your leader may give you a thumbs up!" Zhou Yan stared at Yan Wentao happily, "As for agricultural and animal husbandry products, Anxin Mall has been doing it, but it is just expanding the scale.
That’s all.”
"The only thing left is cultural tourism..." Yan Wentao frowned, "This..."
"It should be to package those idle resources as a whole and hand them over to Xinghan for packaging and operation..."
"For example?" Yan Wentao was a little confused.
"There are many abandoned petrochemical, aerospace and machinery factories in Suzhou. These can be transformed into tourism resources with a little packaging..."
