Chapter 57 Abacus
Maybe outsiders don’t know the status of Minsheng Group in Xi’an, or when they hear the word “minsheng”, the first thing they think of is the banking giant Minsheng Bank. But if you ask ordinary people in Xi’an, maybe they don’t know.
How powerful Minsheng Group is and how big its background is, but from the nearly ten Minsheng Department Stores in Xi'an spread across Xi'an's east, west, north, and south, we can clearly see how powerful the energy behind such a behemoth is, as well as the recent high-profile announcement of joining hands with International
Dozens of luxury brands have entered the northwest luxury industry. Minsheng International is about to open just across the street from Bell Tower North Street and Century Jinhua Bell Tower store.
Xi'an's position in China's luxury goods industry can be said to be of great importance. This can be understood from the various city luxury rankings every year and the increasing number of international luxury brands announcing their presence in Xi'an. Xi'an's luxury goods industry has always been
It is a three-legged situation, Paris Printemps, Century Golden Flower, and Zhongda International. Now the originally balanced situation has become a bit interesting because of the sudden addition of Minsheng Group.
"Sansheng, if you choose to develop in Xi'an in the future, it is still necessary to have a good relationship with these young men. Although it may not be of much help at critical times, human relationships should be used more often." Aunt Zhao is now putting
Li Sansheng regarded him as half a son, so he thought about many things from Li Sansheng's perspective. Aunt Zhao thought that Li Sansheng's background was fairly clear.
Guoli Renhe Sichuan Cuisine is a catering chain brand created in recent years by Renhe Catering Company, a subsidiary of Chengdu Renhe Group. There are currently several chain stores in Xi'an, and its reputation in Xi'an is pretty good. Aunt Zhao knew that Li Sansheng likes spicy food, so she chose Sichuan cuisine.
.
I found a seat near the glass and did not choose a private room because Aunt Zhao felt that if she chose a private room, the atmosphere would not be as good as in the lobby and it would be better to cook at home, although her cooking was pretty good.
"Well, my grandfather said something before. If you want two people to get together, either he owes you or you owe him. The truth is the same." Li Sansheng nodded, knowing Aunt Zhao's kindness.
Hard work.
Aunt Zhao is a vegetarian, but she is not very averse to meat dishes. She ordered an phoenix tail in sesame sauce and cucumber in vinegar. Yuanshan prefers meat, so she ordered a Taibai duck and sesame oil chicken. When she heard the meat, her mouth filled with tears.
I could hear the sound of harrassing. Li Sansheng kept laughing at Guan Yuanshan. Ordinary people said that meat is meat, but when Yuanshan said it, it was you. Yu'er likes to eat fish, which is in line with the eating habits of southerners. She ordered a pickled fish. Mingyue is very casual, you guys.
I'll eat whatever I order.
"Sansheng, if you want to get involved with people in the shopping mall, you have to have benefits, but if you want to get together with people in the officialdom, you have to have benefits, but if you really want to have a drink and talk with them instead of fighting with them, you have to have a heart-to-heart relationship, especially if you want to get along with them.
Those people in the officialdom. Everyone is more or less in at least one circle. Without a circle, you are the object of exclusion." Aunt Zhao has lived in Xi'an for decades. Perhaps because of Aunt Zhao's background, she is in Beijing.
It can only be regarded as an ordinary background, but in this three-acre land in the northwest, she can still say something. Li Sansheng has been in Aunt Zhao's private club, which is neither big nor small, for two or three years.
Although Aunt Zhao didn't say anything to the person he met, he knew it in his heart.
"How can I, an ordinary citizen, have so much ability to win the favor of these high-minded young men?" The food came quickly. Li Sansheng was eating the food that Aunt Zhao Mingyue and Yu'er put into his bowl.
Looking at Yuanshan's envious look, he smiled bitterly or said self-deprecatingly.
"Aunt Zhao didn't tell you this before because you were in high school. Although Aunt Zhao can see your sharp edge hidden under the ordinary, others can't. Now Aunt Zhao doesn't mind showing up for you." Aunt Zhao
He chuckled and said, "Young ladies still have charm, maybe they are talking about women like Aunt Zhao who is already in her early forties."
"Third brother, why don't you come and marry us? It's not easy for outsiders." Yu'er interrupted and winked at Li Sansheng.
"I think this will work," Guan Yuanshan nodded and affirmed, but what greeted him was Aunt Zhao's chestnuts. Guan Yuanshan could only complain and lower his head to eat his own meat, while Mingyue smiled coquettishly at the side.
"You bitch," Li Sansheng scolded with a smile. Yu'er's words were 70% true and 30% false. How could Li Sansheng know what this girl was paying attention to? Yu'er said that his father was just a high-class nouveau riche, but Li Sansheng didn't dare.
I really think so. At the 10th anniversary party of Qinling College, Li Sansheng saw the uncle with gold-rimmed glasses who always had a vague smile on his face. To say that he was a nouveau riche, there was probably no one in China.
A few serious businessmen.
"The young man who looked young and promising just now is called Ma Ziqiang. Yuanshan just said that he is the second son of Ma Nangang, the chairman of the board of directors of Minsheng Group. I have nothing to do with his father, but I have some relationship with his mother.
I am not familiar with him, but I am more optimistic about him than his eldest brother Ma Zilin, who has taken over the Minsheng Group. Do you know who is responsible for the recent series of Minsheng Group's moves, such as entering into real estate, entering into luxury goods, and joining forces with Sichuan Renhe Group?
That is to say, the head office of the place where we are eating today has entered the football industry. Guoli Renhe can win the Chinese Super League with the Shaanxi Chanba team. It is not as simple as a group of Shaanxi local snakes like them." Aunt Zhao told Li Sansheng bit by bit that there are so many people in their circle.
Li Sansheng will take care of everything in an orderly manner in the past two years, no matter how big or small it is. This is not something that a young man who only went to high school can do.
"Aunt Zhao, what I'm sure of is that if I go to the bathroom soon, Ma Ziqiang will definitely follow me," Li Sansheng said with a smile after thinking for a moment.
"Haha" Aunt Zhao chuckled but seemed to already know what Li Sansheng wanted to say.
"Businessmen are not short of money, but they are short of political capital. This is exactly what Aunt Zhao has. As long as there are a thousand roads, they will take a thousand roads. In their eyes, there is never a word of contentment, only interests." Li Sansheng
It seems that he has a relatively deep understanding of this group. This is because he has been with Heizi and the others for a long time and is used to it. Besides, Aunt Zhao also knows this very well.
"Who is that woman who still looks charming just now? You have a parallel hair?" the friend who spoke asked Ma Ziqiang with a lewd smile.
"I would be happy if I had my hair cut sideways, and then I wouldn't have no people to talk to in the government." Ma Ziqiang said with a smile. It seemed that the two of them had a good relationship.
The four men at their table, it sounds easy to say that they are all playboys with money and backgrounds, but it sounds worse to say that they are the second generation of rich people. They all seem to be on an equal footing. It can be said that their backgrounds and family backgrounds are all of the same level.
"Lin Zi, you must not know that you just came back from the United States. People who are familiar with us call him Aunt Zhao. He is just ordinary. He does not do business or politics, but you must know his husband, Guan Dapeng, Deputy Director Guan."
The man next to Ma Ziqiang who looked about the same age as Ma Ziqiang explained with a smile.
"Tsk tsk, Lao Huang, she is the widow of Deputy Director Guan." Lin Zijing reminded Lao Huang and remembered what he had heard before, but he still had a lewd smile on his face.
"Lin Zi, I advise you not to mess with that woman, otherwise your father and your uncle together will not be able to save you. You know why the big boss of the provincial government left Shaanxi sadly, it was because of the incident involving Deputy Director Guan.
"Things" Ma Ziqiang seemed to have a clearer understanding of what happened back then, and reminded him kindly.
The four of them, Ma Ziqiang, Lao Huang, Lin Zi, and Lao Bai, a man who had been silent and watched the fun and got a shaved head, were all best friends when they were in school. They have similar family backgrounds and hobbies, so there is no reason not to get together.
, the relationship is pretty good, and they are more affectionate than ordinary fair-weather friends, but no one is sure that these brothers will not dare to stab or kick themselves when they are in trouble.
"In our circle, we seem to have endless glory, but in fact, we are the only ones who know the many helplessness in this position. Without background and backing, we will kill the big fish eating the small fish and the small fish eating the shrimp. You have been singing all these years.
Come on, let's take the stage. After one group was defeated, a new group came on stage. The Tangcheng Group was so prosperous back then, but now it's not like we're stumbling into jail." Lao Huang sighed endlessly, the brilliance of his father's generation could not cover them up.
The edge of this generation is only compared to the passion of their parents when they fought for the country. However, their generation lacks the passion that their parents should have. The older generation is slowly withdrawing from the stage, and if it is not reshuffled in this era,
If you seize the rope that can climb up when you have the opportunity, you will only fall worse. Many examples over the years have told them that they have passed the domineering young age and are now almost thirty years old. Think about it.
There are more.
"Old Bai, especially the path you are taking now is more dangerous than ours. Without an absolute background, something will happen in the future. This is a real society, not a bloody one like those written in novels. The government wants
It is stability, and you are a double-edged sword. If something happens, you will be the first to be thrown out." Ma Ziqiang looked at his silent brother, and among the few people, Lao Bai and himself were the best.
"Ziqiang, don't tell me you want to get close to that woman." Lin Zi immediately thought of Ma Ziqiang's thoughts. Minsheng Group seemed brilliant and was a major taxpayer in Xi'an, but compared with its mortal enemy Jinhua Group, it was
The government pays more attention to those who do not want to fall behind. If they do not want to fall behind, they must pay more.
"I don't mind if I get a chance. My mother said that Aunt Zhao is not an ordinary woman. People in the circle only know that Aunt Zhao is the wife of Deputy Director Guan, but they don't know that Aunt Zhao has a star on her shoulder.
"My father is a general, and the relationship between the Guan family and Vice Minister Xiao is intriguing." The sparkle in Ma Ziqiang's eyes was more beautiful than ever.
"The higher you stand, the more afraid you are of falling. We are all the same." Lao Bai, who was silent, looked at Li Sansheng, who was far away from him and chatting and laughing with Aunt Zhao among his group, and said with clear eyes.
The more they see the warmth and coldness of human relationships, the harshness of the world, intrigues and intrigues, the more they become afraid of them.
"Okay, let's not talk so much. Let's go to Soho to pick up girls in the evening." Lin Zi felt that the atmosphere was a bit strange and said lewdly. The few of them continued to eat and fight, but they all had their own agendas.
Aunt Zhao only looked at Ma Ziqiang, and naturally did not see the other people who came with Ma Ziqiang. Li Sansheng was eating and chatting at the table. With a living treasure like Guan Yuanshan, the atmosphere was naturally not cold.
At about the same time, Li Sansheng seemed to want to verify what he just said. He stood up and looked at Aunt Zhao and went to the bathroom.
