Life 1984

There are so many restaurants in Beijin, including eight buildings, ten lobbies, and countless hotels with various names.However, there are always many customers and business is very good.

Li Yunhai really put a lot of thought into finding a quieter place to entertain Lin Zhenbang and his classmates.

He was not familiar with Beijin, so after asking Zheng Yuan for advice, he asked Zhuang Yong to drive to Wudaoying Hutong near Yongheguan, and found a courtyard with a Meifu family banquet hanging on the door.

Looking at the Guangliang gate at the door, Li Yunhai knew that this place used to be a high-ranking official's house, but now it is a private restaurant with a good reputation in Sijiu City.

The door was ajar, obviously it wasn't time for dinner yet.

Li Yunhai opened the door and walked in.

There is a woodcut couplet hanging in front of the screen: "The moonlight on the seat is pouring green ants, and the people beside the fence are drunk and chanting yellow flowers." It is quite elegant.

Turning around, there is a budgerigar hanging on the tree in the yard. It is light green with dark green spotted feathers. Its beak is like a hook. The upper part is long and the lower part is short. A pair of bright eyes are embedded in its small body. On the head, very cute.As soon as it sees someone, it shouts: "We have a guest, Miss Three!"

Li Yunhai was amused by the parrot's imitation.

Following the cry of the parrot, a young woman came out. She had a simple bun and wore an elegant white cheongsam with a light pattern of daisies. The collar, cuffs and skirt were locked with delicate locks. With white edges, the whole person is like a tranquil and beautiful daisy.

"Hello, comrade," the woman said with a smile, "Are you here to have a meal? Our store is not open yet! It won't open until 11 noon."

"My friend introduced me here. I'll take a look first and reserve a seat."

"That's ok, how many people are dining?"

"One table for everyone! Is there a separate private room?" Li Yunhai heard Lin Zhenbang mention that he only invited a few classmates to dine.

The woman invited Li Yunhai to come to the private room, which was divided into two private rooms, one large and one small.

Li Yunhai looked at it and asked, "Can I see your recipes?"

The woman showed Li Yunhai the restaurant's menu and said, "In addition to the dishes above, we will also have some special seasonal dishes. For example, the eight delicacies include bear paws, deer tendons, and camel humps."

It was not until 1989 that my country's Wildlife Protection Law was officially implemented, and bear paws could no longer be eaten as vegetables.

Before that, as long as you had money and luck, you could eat this food.

There are many famous chefs in Beijing who specialize in cooking eight delicacies.

Li Yunhai had never tasted these delicacies before and asked, "Are they available now?"

When the woman heard this, she knew that Li Yunhai was an honored guest and said with a smile: "Yes, but you have to prepare in advance. You are here just in time and there is still time to do it."

Li Yunhai asked about the price.

The woman replied that braised bear paws cost 500 yuan a portion.

Li Yunhai said: "If you have any delicious food here, just serve it to me. I will make 16 dishes in total. Here is another box of Maotai. If you want wine, can I give it back or make up for it?"

"Sure, as long as it's unopened."

“Do I need to put down a deposit?”

"Of course you do, since you ordered precious dishes."

Li Yunhai took out 3000 yuan and handed it over: "The more you pay, the less you pay."

The woman took the money and said with a smile: "Sir, you are a generous man, thank you."

Li Yunhai nodded and said: "We will arrive around 12:30 noon, and we can start eating directly when we arrive. Please prepare in advance."

"Don't worry, I will arrange everything." The woman wrote a receipt to Li Yunhai.

Li Yunhai thought of something and said, "How much does it cost to book a place here? Don't arrange any other guests at noon."

"Comrade, didn't you say there was only one table of customers?"

"It doesn't matter how many tables we have, I'm willing to put up my wallet anyway. You just need to collect the money, okay? I'm inviting distinguished guests, and I don't want anyone to disturb me."

Of course the woman wished for it, and said with a smile: "Comrade, you are really a particular person. Of course you can. Well, if it includes a luncheon, at least one party must be included. If your consumption exceeds one party, then there will be additional calculations."

Li Yunhai understood that when people from Beijin said that one side meant 1 yuan.One yuan is called one cent, ten yuan is called one piece, one hundred yuan is called one piece, 1000 yuan is called one book or one ton, and 1 yuan is called one side.

This is a slang term for Beijin, especially in the [-]s and [-]s.

Li Yunhai said that only one party can do it!
1 yuan wallet market, all I want is a quiet place with no one to disturb me.

Li Yunhai found a place to eat, and seeing that it was still early, he came to Zhongguancun.

Lin Zhi and Shen Xiulan went to recruit people, while Zhao Jinping went out to run business.

Zheng Yuan and Su Hong were guarding the branch building.

Li Yunhai got out of the car and looked at the decoration of the building.

A large signboard hangs on the lintel of the branch: "Sihai Group Beijin Branch."

On the top of the building, there is a larger signboard: "Sihai Group."

The signboard occupies the entire length of the wall facing the street and is three meters high. It is very eye-catching. Even if you look at it from a distance, Sihai Group's signboard is the most beautiful thing in Zhongguancun.

Li Yunhai nodded with satisfaction and walked into the building to visit.

Su Hong happened to be on the first floor, directing people to display office equipment prototypes for sale. When she saw Li Yunhai, she smiled and shouted: "Hello, Mr. Li!"

Li Yunhai touched the computer in front of him and asked, "Su Hong, have all these machines been tested?"

"Try the machine again after everything is set up."

"Okay, we have to try every one! When customers enter the store, what they see is our prototype. If there are problems with the prototype, it will give people a very bad impression."

"Understood, Mr. Li."

Li Yunhai went upstairs again and saw that the computer training class and office had been decorated.

Su Hong accompanied him to the office, reported to him the amount of money for office building decoration, and took out a large stack of documents for Li Yunhai to check.

Li Yunhai waved his hand: "When Mr. Shen comes back, leave it to her to see!"

Su Hong agreed with a smile.

She was wearing a skirt and stood in front of Li Yunhai.

Li Yunhai saw several red bumps on her white thighs and asked, "Are they bitten by mosquitoes?"

Su Hong was stunned for a moment, then realized what she was doing, and said with a smile: "That's right, I didn't expect there are mosquitoes in Beijin! The mosquitoes in the hotel I stayed in before were so powerful that they attacked me after I fell asleep and bit me a lot. Small package. Look."

She pulled up her sleeves to show Li Yunhai, lifted up her skirt, and pointed at a few red bumps on her thighs.

She is truly worthy of being a dramatic actor. Her legs are slender, well-proportioned, moist, white and reflective, beautiful and dazzling, which makes those red bumps even more gorgeous.

Li Yunhai smiled and said: "You are so beautiful that even mosquitoes want to kiss you."

Su Hong covered her mouth and smiled.

Li Yunhai looked at the time and came to No. 6 Changchun Bridge Road, HD District.

The school management is relatively strict, and ordinary people and public vehicles are not allowed to enter.

Li Yunhai's resignation as section chief of the Commerce Bureau does not mean that he is now a white man.

On the contrary, the reason why he resigned from the position of chief of information section was because there was a higher position waiting for him, that is, the position of deputy director of Tianhua Building Management Office.

The Tianhua Building Management Office has been formally established, and its external name is Tianhua Building Management Company.

Li Yunhai's resume is such that he can only become a deputy director at most.

He took out his work ID card with this status, registered at the guard's office, and said he was looking for Lin Zhenbang.

The guard repeatedly checked his identity and made another phone call to confirm before letting him go.

Lin Zhenbang is still in class.

Li Yunhai waited below the teaching building for a quarter of an hour before he saw Lin Zhenbang and several comrades walking downstairs talking and laughing.

"Yunhai is here!" Lin Zhenbang laughed, patted his arm and said, "Wait for one more person. Let me introduce you to him first."

Lin Zhenbang introduced several classmates around him to Li Yunhai.

Li Yunhai's face became more and more respectful when he heard their names and positions.

After a while, a man in his 50s with some gray hair on his temples came over and greeted Lin Zhenbang.

Everyone met each other and exchanged a few words.

Because these people all work in Beijing, they all have cars and are accompanied by secretaries and drivers.

Li Yunhai invited Lin Zhenbang to get into his car, and told other drivers the address where he would eat, fearing that if he lost him on the road, they would be able to find him along the way.

The motorcade left the school gate and headed to the Meifu family banquet in Wudaoying Hutong.

When we arrived at the place, everyone got off the bus.

Li Yunhai invited everyone in.

"What an elegant place! I've been in Beijing for so long, but I didn't know there was such a place." Several comrades said that this place is very good.

When the parrot saw a guest coming in, he shouted: "A guest has arrived, Miss Three!"

The woman who received Li Yunhai before came out and invited the distinguished guests to sit down in the box.

When Li Yunhai saw that his secretary and driver had followed him in, he arranged for the store to open another table in a small box next to it. The standard of food and wine was lowered by one level, not delicacies, but 14 signature dishes, including a box of Moutai.

The store owner took a note and took the driver and secretary to sit next door.

After Li Yunhai and the others sat down, the store began to serve the food.

The dishes were served by three young girls in cheongsam, silent, gentle and elegant.

The table was full of delicacies, many of which Li Yunhai had never tasted before.

Not to mention that he hadn't eaten it before, even Lin Zhenbang and others hadn't eaten it either.

A comrade named Du Jieliang pointed to a dish and asked, "What is this?"

Just as the waiter waiting next to him was about to speak, Li Yunhai waved his hand and said: "You don't need to wait here, you all can get off!"

The three girls agreed and walked out.

Li Yunhai then smiled and said: "I don't know what the dish is. I just asked them to use all the ingredients in the store to make us a table of dishes. Please use your chopsticks to have a taste of the quality of this store." ."

He poured wine for everyone himself.

Lin Zhenbang picked up the chopsticks and said with a smile: "Everyone, let's eat!"

Du Jie Liang took a bite of the dish, chewed it slowly, and said, "The meat is rotten and fragrant, the juice is thick and the color is fresh. Well, good craftsmanship! Does it taste like lamb?" Everyone tasted it, and some said it tasted like beef. Yes, some say it looks like venison.

Lin Zhenbang asked Li Yunhai in a low voice: "What kind of dish is this?"

"Uncle, this is called Xiong Ji." Li Yunhai answered truthfully, "Chicken, beef tendons and other meats are added to cook it, which masks the smell, so it tastes like other meats."

Lin Zhenbang smiled and said nothing more.

In front of this table of delicacies, dishes such as abalone belly with ginseng and wings are not so rare.

Li Yunhai was eating and drinking while always paying attention to the wine glasses on the table. If anyone's glass was half empty, he would immediately get up and fill it up.

Lin Zhenbang organized this dinner purely to introduce Li Yunhai to everyone.

As for specific matters, it is impossible to discuss them at a dinner like this.

Li Yunhai knew the ropes well, and their relationship today was just a familiar face.

The master leads the door, and the practice is personal.

How to make friends with others in the future, and to what extent you can make friends with them, depends on his ability.

Since ancient times, the wine table has been the promoter of history.Whether it is the Hongmen Banquet or the Xinting Banquet, they are indelible chapters in the history of our country.Today's wine table culture is different from that of thousands of years ago, but its core is still communication and trust between people.

A high-end wine party is not simply about showing one's strength and status, but about showing true self-cultivation, wisdom and interpersonal skills.In this upper-class battle, knowing the rules and applying them properly is the key to victory.

During the conversation with everyone, Li Yunhai got to know each other's personality, temperament, preferences, likes and dislikes, and secretly noted them down for emergencies.

It took more than an hour to finish the meal.

Li Yunhai sent them out and said to Lin Zhenbang: "Uncle, I have to settle the bill here. I will send Zhuang Yong to take you back to school first."

Lin Zhenbang nodded calmly and said: "We have no classes this afternoon, so we dare to go out to eat and drink. You don't need to worry about us, just go and do your own business!"

Li Yunhai gave Zhuang Yong a few words and asked him to send Lin Zhenbang back to school.

He came to the store to pay.

The cheongsam woman followed her all the time, invited Li Yunhai to come to the front desk, and said: "I can see that you have all been tested by alcohol. I have finished drinking two boxes of Maotai."

Li Yunhai said it was impossible, our table had only drunk half a box.

The woman pursed her lips and smiled: "The people at the other table packed up all the unfinished wine before leaving."

Li Yunhai smiled bitterly, thinking that these things were probably done by the driver.In this era, there is actually no prohibition against drinking while driving. Some drivers even have to drink a little to feel energetic while driving.

He didn't care and paid the balance immediately.

The woman asked him with a smile: "Comrade, does my food taste good?"

Li Yunhai said it was very good. Please leave me your business card and I will order food from you next time so I don’t have to make a trip.

The woman took a business card and handed it to Li Yunhai and said, "Comrade, my name is Tang Ying. I am the third oldest child in the family, so everyone calls me Third Girl."

"The third girl the parrot calls is you?"

"Yes, that's me."

"That's weird. Isn't your store called Meifu Family Banquet? The boss's surname should be Mei, right?"

"The owner's surname is Mei, and I just work here. I am Mr. Mei's apprentice. When I am not studying drama, I help in this store."

"Oh, that's right."

"Sir, what's your name? Can you give me a business card?"

"Excuse me, my surname is Li. Muzi Li."

Li Yunhai handed her a business card and said goodbye.

Tang Ying looked at Li Yunhai's business card and said softly: "Li Yunhai of Sihai Group? He looks so familiar!"

When she raised her head to look for Li Yunhai, she saw that he had already left.

Li Yunhai drank a little too much and returned to the Great Wall Hotel to lie down for a while. Suddenly something occurred to him and he called Lin Zhenbang from the room phone.

Lin Zhenbang also just returned to the dormitory not long ago.

Li Yunhai smiled and said: "Uncle, you don't have classes in the afternoon, so you must have rest in the evening, right?"

Lin Zhenbang said: "Yeah, what's wrong? Do you have other plans?"

Li Yunhai said: "I wonder if you like to watch Peking opera? I'll buy some tickets at the Peking Opera Theater in Beijing. Can you please watch a Peking opera together in the evening?"

Strike while the iron is hot, and the same goes for making friends.

After dinner at noon and watching a stage show together in the evening, the relationship became even more solid.

Lin Zhenbang also understood his good intentions and said: "In this way, you buy the tickets first. Once you buy the tickets, I can naturally invite them to go together. Tickets for the Peking Opera Theater are not easy to buy!"

Li Yunhai said hello.

He hung up the phone and stopped sleeping. When Zhuang Yong came back, he went to the Peking Opera Theater to buy tickets.

The Peking Opera Theater is a public institution under the supervision of the Beijing Cultural Bureau.Founded in 1979, the theater has a strong lineup, famous actors, diverse genres, and rich repertoire. It is a famous gathering place for Liyuan's elite, and it is often hard to get a ticket.

Li Yunhai came early, and there were still a few tickets for sale, but they were not good seats.

He left the ticket window and glanced at the people nearby.

Wherever tickets are sold, there must be scalpers!

Sure enough, he found a few idle people walking around with satchels on their backs, smoking non-stop.

Li Yunhai walked over.

Someone asked: "Comrade, do you want to buy a ticket? There is a performance by Mr. Mei tonight!"

Li Yunhai asked: "Do you have tickets for the first three rows?"

"The first three rows? Yes, but they are very expensive! Three times the original price will do. The original price is 2.5 yuan. Triple that is 7 yuan and 5 cents. Do you want to buy it?"

"As long as you have it, give me 20!"

"Hey, 20 pieces?"

The ticket office has regulations that allow individuals to purchase a maximum of 4 tickets and group purchases to have a maximum of 20 tickets.

However, the scalpers must have the means and methods to obtain tickets, and they only obtain the front row seats.

Li Yunhai took out his wallet, counted out 15 tickets, and handed them over: "What's wrong? No tickets?"

"Yes!" Huang Niu looked around, opened the yellow cloth satchel, dug out a handful of paper bills, counted out 20 and handed them to Li Yunhai.

Li Yunhai saw that there were many small bags sewn into this person's backpack, and each bag contained tickets of different denominations.

During this period, the tickets for watching Peking Opera were not expensive, ranging from 4 cents to 8 cents, and the most expensive one was only 2.5 yuan. It was only when Mr. Mei was performing that the tickets in the front row were so expensive.

Li Yunhai bought the tickets, went directly to Lin Zhenbang's school, and gave 12 of the tickets to Lin Zhenbang, leaving only 8 for himself.

When he returned to the Great Wall Hotel again, it was already after get off work time, and Lin Zhi and the others were also back.

Li Yunhai asked Lin Zhi how the recruitment was going.
Lin Zhi smiled and said that there are indeed many talents there, but there will be no talent exchange meeting today. We learned there that there will be a large-scale talent exchange meeting in two days, and we will recruit again then.

Li Yunhai asked: "Then what did you do this day?"

Shen Xiulan smiled and said, "Ling Zhi and I went shopping!"

Li Yunhai smiled helplessly.

After a while, the three girls, Li Yunfang, Lin Xin and Shen Xiuling, came back. When they saw Li Yunhai and the others, they kept chattering.

It turned out that the three of them climbed the Great Wall today and were almost exhausted.

Shen Xiuling said: "Sister, you have never been to the Great Wall, have you? Then I advise you not to go. There is really nothing interesting to see. It is just a dilapidated city wall that has not been repaired. There is a section in the middle that has collapsed. If you are not careful, If you fall, you will roll to the bottom of the cliff! If you want to play, just go to the Forbidden City."

Shen Xiulan said: "What do you know? The Great Wall stands on the mountain and has experienced thousands of years of wind and rain. What do you think it is? Let's go and see the rich history, cultural landscape and scenery beyond the Great Wall! With your level of aesthetics, What else do you know?”

Shen Xiuling pouted and said: "I'm telling the truth! I don't deny that it has a rich history, it's just too dilapidated! Why doesn't Beijin pay to repair it? There are so many people in the country, and every If someone donates a dime, it will be enough to repair it!”

Li Yunhai smiled and said: "Xiao Ling, you are not a true man unless you have been to the Great Wall. You have been to the Great Wall and now you are a female man!"

The crowd burst into laughter.

Shen Xiuling covered her mouth and smiled: "Stop making fun of me, Brother Yunhai, we met your brother-in-law again today! If you don't believe me, ask Li Yunfang."

Li Yunhai was startled and looked at Li Yunfang: "What's going on?"

Li Yunfang lightly patted Shen Xiuling and said, "Brother, she is talking nonsense! When we were climbing the Great Wall, we met that annoying ghost again!"

"You mean Yue Hua? Is it such a coincidence?" Li Yunhai was deeply surprised.

Li Yunfang said: "Yes! I even doubt whether he is following us!"

Lin Zhi smiled and said, "Could this be fate?"

Li Yunfang turned her head and said, "Sister-in-law, stop talking! This is so embarrassing!"

Zhao Jinping, Su Hong and others are back.

Li Yunhai treated everyone to dinner and went to the Beijing Theater to watch a play together in the evening.

Lin Zhenbang and his classmates also arrived as scheduled.

Li Yunhai didn't talk to them much. They shook hands and smiled, and they seemed familiar again.

The next day, Li Yunhai, Lin Zhi, Shen Xiulan and others came to the branch together.

Preparations for the opening of the branch are almost complete, and now only the employees are missing.

The talent exchange conference will not be held until the day after tomorrow, but Li Yunhai can't wait.

Li Yunhai asked someone to post a large recruitment notice at the door, specifying the title and quantity of the positions to be recruited, as well as the salary and benefits.

There are not a few people who come to Electronic Street every day, and many people came for interviews that day.

Li Yunhai adopts a quick interview method, asking about academic qualifications and work experience, as well as hobbies and specialties, and basically he can decide whether to admit or not.

Sales clerks, cashiers, and office clerks in the sales department are all easy to recruit.

The most difficult to recruit are managerial staff, accounting staff and maintenance staff.

Since so many of Li Yunhai's people were in Beijin, they would stay for a while anyway, so they simply took on the role of managers first. After recruiting salespersons, cashiers, and clerks, they were ready to open the business. (End of chapter)
