Chapter 132 [Thoughts of the Rich]

Chapter 132 [The Thoughts of Rich People]

The place where the old fox invited us to dinner was not in the city center, but in... a very special place.

After the car stopped, I looked at the building in front of me in surprise: "Tu, are you sure the address is correct?"

"Please believe in professionalism, boss." Tu said lightly: "I have seen the map. The entire road in Shanghai, as long as there are on the map, is in my mind."

xx Food Training School!

Well, this name seems to be a chef training class.

When I walked into a building inside, someone immediately welcomed us enthusiastically and took us into a large classroom... Yes, yes, it was clearly a classroom! Moreover, it seemed that I guessed it outside just now, it was obviously a classroom for training chefs.

However, there is clearly a sign hanging here: xx cafeteria club.

There are dozens of stoves in such a huge room! All the things you can find in the kitchen are all available, and all the most professional equipment. I even promise that even the kitchens of five-star hotels are not as complete as possible.

There are already many people in the brightly lit room. Under the influence of dozens of high-end European range hoods, there is no trace of oil smoke in the classroom, but it is full of the aroma of various foods, as well as the sound of spoons for cooking hitting the pots and pans.

What surprised me slightly was that many of the people who stood in front of the stove with sleeves rolled up and held a spoon and fought hard in front of the stove were well-dressed. The shirts, suits, or women's skirts on their bodies were all worthy of brand-name goods. These people who drove high-end cars and lived in big houses on weekdays now all wore aprons and played the role of chefs.

"Hey, here!" The old fox shouted from the side. We looked at it and saw that the old fox was less than twenty steps away from us. He rolled up his sleeves and cut a roll of cabbage with a kitchen knife in his hand. He had a smile on his face.

"Oh my god, old man, what the hell are you doing? Is this the place where you invite us to have supper?" I walked over, looked at him strangely, and then looked around.

"Don't be surprised, this is enjoying. Enjoy, do you understand? Boy." Old Fox Qiao held a cigarette butt in his mouth, and a little sweat on his forehead. He put down the kitchen knife casually and said, "Do you think this place is very interesting?"

He said, handing me the kitchen knife: "You can help me cut it for a while, alas, I'll smoke."

I took the kitchen knife and looked at Yang Wei. She seemed to be smiling, obviously she had already understood something.

"What are you looking at? Cut it quickly, you can cut it now for our dinner." The old fox stood aside. I was still a little confused. But I still rolled up my sleeves and started to take action.

"Chen Yang, you have to understand that in fact, rich people...a considerable number of rich people have a very boring life. And when people are extremely bored, they inevitably like to find something strange to do." The old fox took a leisurely breath of cigarettes and smiled: "Look at the surroundings..."

"I'm watching, and I'm very curious." I tried hard to cut the cabbage. I have to say that my movements were much more nimble than the old fox. I wonder if it was because I used to cut people with a knife.

"In fact, the biggest regret of many rich people is that when they succeed, they lose some of the fun of being ordinary people." The old fox whispered: "If in foreign countries, those rich and nobles have their own traditions and their own living habits. But China is different... China. There are no nobles, and there are no so-called aristocratic families in China. The ten-year catastrophe in the last century. There are almost no rich people in China. Now, many rich people in the mainland have become rich after the reform and opening up, and most of them have started from scratch. Our rich people do not have the so-called aristocratic tradition, and no Europeans can take advantage of the fact that they have gained wealth after the reform and opening up.

These are the rich people of ordinary people. When they become rich, have power and money, they are often extremely empty and bored, and they will inevitably want to live the ordinary life occasionally, even if they are just doing it. What do ordinary people do every day? Cook by themselves! Which billionaire has ever seen cooking at home? Which billionaire’s wife cooks at home? Very few! So, this restaurant provides these rich people with bored time and spend money to buy back some of the fun of ordinary people before they were not developed. In this restaurant, customers must cook their own meals. Do you understand?"

I got it a little bit: "It's a wonderful idea, but..." I still don't understand: "If you want to cook by yourself, you can do it at home, right? I don't believe that these rich people don't even have a kitchen at home?"

"Hahaha..." The old fox laughed exaggeratedly. Then he looked at the busy people around, lowered his voice, and laughed in a low voice: "This is the ridiculous thing about rich people... On the one hand, they are occasionally bored and want to find some ideas to fill the gap. You have to understand that they are just doing these for boredom. They just enjoy the fun of cooking... but they don't want to do those troublesome trivial things. For example, if you want to cook at home, you have to go to the supermarket to buy all kinds of vegetables and ingredients, buy oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, etc., and you have to think about what dishes to cook and how to cook. Also, washing dishes, wiping the table, cleaning the kitchen afterwards... etc. If all of these are done at home, then things will be very cumbersome. But these are the things that are very complicated.

People, on the one hand, miss the fun, on the other hand, don’t have much time, or don’t want to spend too much time and energy on the tedious preparation work. So, how good is this place? It provides everything that matches, and even what dishes you want to cook, the ingredients here are all complete than in the restaurant! There are even professional recipes and professional chefs on the side to guide you. Although it costs a little more, it saves their time and allows them to enjoy the fun. These rich people are not short of money, but time is more expensive than money, and... there are some psychology: if you make it at home, if it is bad and it is bad, you have to come out to eat. If it is bad, it is also provided with delicious food here."

"I understand, that is to say, the guests here have to make it by themselves if they spend money to eat." I smiled and said, "A good idea. The price here must not be cheap."

"Well, it's a little cheaper than Peace Hotel (one of the most expensive hotels in Shanghai)." The old fox blinked.

Yang Wei suddenly smiled from the side: "Mr. Qiao, this place must belong to you, right?"

"That's right." Old Fox Qiao threw away half of the cigarette butts left: "Okay, have your cabbage been cut? Who will help me make egg whites now?" As he said that, he deliberately glanced at Yang Wei.

Yang Wei smiled slightly and rolled up her sleeves very happily.

Soon, I discovered that this place has become a social occasion for rich people.

After the guests at the stove next to them have prepared their own meals, they will occasionally come over and politely invite us to taste their works. Although the taste is good and bad, but... I have to say that this feeling will make you feel more enjoyable than spending money to invite people to have a meal at those high-end restaurants.

Think about it, when a millionaire spends money to treat you to a meal, or he cooks food for you to eat. What is the difference between your feelings?

Very subtle idea!

If you eat the dishes made by someone else, the other party will feel that someone has shared the fruits of his labor and will feel very happy. All of these add up to make the atmosphere here extremely good. I can see that every guest around is very happy.

I sighed... This old guy is really smart!

"Since you're here, you have to show off your skills. Are the young people waiting for the elderly to cook for you?" Old Fox Qiao smiled.

So, Yang Wei and I cooked the dishes by myself. I made the simplest thing. I didn’t know much about cooking. I made the simplest fried eggs and sprinkled green onions. Yang Wei was beyond my expectations. She actually made two dishes: meat and vegetable. One was fish-flavored shredded pork and the other fried broccoli, which was quite good and tasted quite good.

After taking a few bites, I couldn't help but look at her in surprise.

"I learned it." Yang Wei pursed her lips and smiled.

Of course I understood what she meant, and I couldn't help but feel a little moved: "You... Actually, you don't have to do this."

Yang Wei blinked: "You can't be the only one who knows how to cook, right?"

What surprised me the most was Old Fox Qiao! He actually made three dishes and one soup! And the taste was quite good! Even if it was very good than the restaurant I had eaten, it was not inferior at all! I can't tell that this old guy has such a skill!

There is a dining table next to each stove. After everything is done, everyone sits down and tastes their works. Occasionally, other guests come next to us to invite us to eat their dishes. This feeling gives me a little bit of the meaning of the former public canteen.

He slammed the wine glass gently. The old fox and I drank a glass of white wine on each other, and then smiled and said, "I didn't expect that old man, your cooking skills are so good... It's just Qiao Qiao..."

"Ha! The things she made can only be used as rat poison." The old fox did not shy away from his daughter's weakness. He smiled for a while and restrained his giggling expression: "Okay, let's talk about the serious business... Have you read the newspapers these two days?"

"Look at it every day." I sighed: "It's not peaceful lately."

"Do you know? I originally planned to play bridge tonight. But during the day, two groups of people came to me and asked me to be a lobbyist to convince you, so there was no way, so I had to come forward in person at night... Oh, do you know which two groups of people are there?"

Yang Wei and I looked at each other, then whispered: "It's Qinghong Di Tian and Di, right?"

"Yes, the boss of Tiandi called me. Ouyang, who is named Di, has arrived in Shanghai. Qinghong is very angry in recent days. Ye Huan has played both of his skills in a row and they both did a good job. Ouyang and the others miscalculated. Unexpectedly, Ye Huan could do so decisively in doing things... Well, it was also his fight on his back and forth and he was willing to go out. The so-called barefoot person is not afraid of wearing shoes. In this situation, Qinghong is also a little afraid of being a mouse."

I said lightly: "I'll find you to be a lobbyist for me? Humph, what can I do?"

"Don't pretend to be stupid. There is no need to pretend to be stupid when you talk to me." The old fox snorted: "I certainly know Qinghong's two-word idea. Both families want to swallow Ye Huan's territory, but they are both concerned about each other and no one is going to do a big fight. I have just waited for so long. I finally couldn't help but take action. The old man with the same name on his face was exhausted and took the lead. As a result, a fire case in the nightclub in Wuxi City happened. Humph. Ye Huan is cruel enough, with a business of tens of millions of dollars.

The fire was burned. The news I got was that day, the one with the one-headed man lost more than a dozen people, and they didn't even get a dime, and more than a dozen people died. Ye Huan seemed to have suffered losses, but a gold medal red stick thug who could fight was killed. I guess it was the Jinhe under Ye Huan's subordinate. But there were no corpses in the fire. I think it was after the two sides finished fighting, they cleaned the scene before setting the fire. That means Ye Huan won. Otherwise, if he won the one with the one-headed man, he would not set the fire!"

"What about those two cases in Suzhou? The drug business in Suzhou was pulled out by the police. And that yacht club..." I remained silent.

"Don't mention Suzhou... Qinghong was almost angry for the Suzhou matter. Just a few quarrels made a lot of noise... Do you know? The Suzhou matter has nothing to do with Qinghong at all. Qinghong's people have not stepped into Suzhou yet! Ye Huan reported to the police himself! The business was ruined!"

"Oh?" I raised my eyebrows.

"That's right." Old Fox Qiao smiled and said, "He was cunning enough. He pushed a few scapegoats and threw them to the police, but before that, he drew all the money in the business! For example, that yacht club. Isn't it now sealed up? Qinghongdi people contacted the official and checked... Guess what? A club with 60 yachts and hundreds of registered senior members with identities has only 16.50 cents left on the books! All the money was drained by Ye Huan in advance!"

I was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help laughing and said, "Good means! Good means!!"

After thinking about it, I whispered again: "Ye Huan swept up all the money and left a rotten and empty stall for Qinghong. At the same time, it also played a role in threatening the other party: If you force me, I will destroy everything! No one can get it, right?"

The old fox nodded repeatedly: "That's what it means. Qinghong was forced to do something urgent, and even thought of the beheading operation. He wanted to send someone to sneak into Nanjing to kill Ye Huan first, but he lost several good players in vain."

"So what?" I sneered.

"So... they want to ask you to take action." The old fox sighed: "Qinghong is a jealous weapon. When they move, Ye Huan tied himself up to his name to do it together! So Qinghong can't move. Even if the old guy with a one-sided head dares to act cruelly, he won't let him move the other two. The only one who can take action is you Chen Yang. You are not from Qinghong, and you have a marriage with Ye Huan. At this time, if you do it, Ye Huan's magic weapon that threatens Qinghong will be invalid for you. You let go of your hands and feet..."

"That may not be necessary." I shook my head: "If Ye Huan ends up being desperate, he might as well ruin all the business in his hands... the same goes!"

"Different... there is a big difference!" The old fox smiled and said, "Ye Huan's personality. You should know the best. He will not use the last move unless he has to. Do you think he is willing to die together? That is for Qinghong! If you take action, he may not dare to use this move against you. Besides, there is no way. After all, you are not Qinghong's person. Will you care about Ye Huan's trick to deal with you with the tricks that sack the business in his hands?"

"Of course not. What does Qinghong's business have to do with me?" I curled my lips.

"That's it. Even you think so yourself, don't Ye Huan understand? So, you have the chance. Since you have the chance, why don't you ask you to try it? This is probably Qinghongdi's idea."

I sneered: "I'm afraid it's not just that?"

The old fox smiled: "Of course there are other reasons... The most important thing is that we all doubt... Ye Huan may have a second move! If you can force his second move out, that is what Qinghong hopes most. I would have prepared earlier if I knew Ye Huan's trump card earlier. My personal guess is that Ye Huan was probably going to take the money and run abroad. This is the only way I have to think about it... But after all, I am not Ye Huan, and I can't guess what he has. However, the territory of the entire Jiangsu province, so many businesses are not small! Qinghong dares to take risks with so much money! It is a last resort to ask you to take action. Now, you might as well offer some conditions. The current situation is that you just want to ask for a big leopard, ask for a price everywhere, and then wait for Qinghong's people to pay back the money."

I looked at Yang Wei, and Yang Wei knew that I was signaling her to speak.

"Mr. Qiao, according to my opinion, there is no difference between Chen Yang's move and Qing Hong's move... If Ye Huan must have a decisive determination, then even if Xiao Wu can defeat Ye Huan, Ye Huan may still destroy the business in his hands and do it all the time! You also understand that this possibility is very high!"

Yang Wei narrowed his eyes and thought for a while, and smiled and said, "Mr. Qiao, are you trying to put Chen Yang on the stove and bake!"

“How to say it?”

"Is there any need to say?" Yang smiled and said, "Please ask Chen Yang to take action. Although Ye Huan is probably the threat of Ye Huan's death. But more, it is probably the stolen part of Qinghong that is uneven! Who will be the land that was captured? This is the key! The herringbone is powerless to occupy it, so both the word "tian" and the word "di" want to eat this piece of fat. But they don't want to tear each other apart. It's better to give this piece of fat to Chen Yang first. Then..." Yang Wei narrowed her eyes and her expression sank: "It seems that Chen Yang has taken a big advantage, but in fact it's a big trouble!

After Chen Yang ate Ye Huan's territory, then there would be nothing to stand next to the two words "Heaven and Earth"... But the one with the one with the one with the one with the one with the one with the one with the one with the one with the one with the one with the one with the one with the one with the one with the one with the one with the one with the one with the one with the one with the one with the one with the one with the one with the one with the one with the one with the one with the one with the one with the one with the one with the one with the one with the one with the one with the one with the one with the one with the one with the one with the one with the one with the one with the one with the one with the one with the one with the one with the one with the one with the one with the one with the one with the one with the one with the one with the one with the one with the one with the one with the one with the one with the one with the one with the one with the one with the one with the one with the one with the one with the one with the one with the one with the one with the one with the one with the one with the one with the one with the one with the one with the one with the one with the one with the one with the one with the one with the one with the one with the one with the one with the one with the one with the one with the one with the one with the one with the one with the one with the one with the one with the one with the one with the one with the one with the one with the one with the one with the one with the one with the one with the one with the one with the one with the one with the one with the one with the one with the one with the one with the one with the one with the one with the one with the one with the one with the one with the one with the one with the one with the one with the one with the one with the one with the one with the one with the one with the one with the one with the one with the one with the one with the one with the one with the one with the one with the one with the one with the one with the one with the one with the one with the one with the one with the one with the one with the one with the
