The Era of Hard Work

There were five or six people there, male and female, most of them were young people. Their eyes fell on Zhao Laogen. After recognizing Zhao Laogen, they greeted him with a smile.

A man in his forties, not tall, wearing glasses, first shook hands with Zhu Libin, then changed into an admirer, and said a little excitedly: Mr. Zhao, you are Mr. Zhao...

He waved to a woman behind him: Xiao Xie, don't you admire Teacher Zhao the most? Come quickly.

A woman came from behind, in her mid-twenties, with shawl hair parted in the middle, with a beautiful appearance: Mr. Zhao, hello, I'm Xie Yixin.

Lu Dong stood at the back, silent. She had an impression of this woman before, and she had seen it on TV a lot in the past two years. She was a relatively popular female star nowadays.

I remember chatting with Qian Yangchun and Zhang Yuanfang once, they mentioned Xie Yixin, saying that there was a big boss behind her.

Similar things are too common in the entertainment industry, Lu Dong has never seen it before and always heard of it.

Listening to Zhao Laogen's courteous words, he can roughly guess that this man with glasses seems to be the big boss behind Xie Yixin.

Of course, this situation could also be true love.

It's rare, but it's not unheard of.

The spectacled man in his forties said a few words, as if someone was coughing behind him, he quickly turned his head away and smiled flatteringly at a tall young man in his mid-twenties.

The young man took two steps forward, and the man with glasses knew that he was a little interested in this group of people, so he quickly introduced: Mr. Zhao, I don't need to introduce...

He glanced at Lu Dong and Xu Qin who were standing behind Zhao Laogen. Not only were they unfamiliar faces, but they were also very young. He thought they were followers, so he didn't care, and introduced instead: This is Zhao Lin, Director Zhao, Chairman of Rhine River Real Estate.

Zhao Laogen stepped forward to shake hands with someone. Mr. Zhao Lin, Mr. Zhao, seemed to be a veteran in the business field, and he spoke clearly and logically.

This group of people exchanged pleasantries, and Lu Dong couldn't help but leave Zhao Laogen and waited for a while out of politeness.

Zhao Laogen and the man with glasses are old acquaintances, and said: Pan is always the general manager of Rhine River Real Estate. I thought Rhine River Real Estate was your property. I didn't expect that there was a young and promising director Zhao behind.

Speaking of being young and promising, Zhao Laogen suddenly remembered, quickly patted his forehead, turned his head and said, Mr. Zhao, Mr. Pan, let me introduce you, this is Mr. Lu Dong of Lu's Catering Company.

Then, he introduced these two people to Lu Dong. Zhao Lin was the chairman of Rhine River Real Estate, and Pan Jun was the chairman of Haizhu Securities, the shareholder and general manager of Rhine River Real Estate.

Lu Dong knows very well that there are not many simple people in real estate and securities, especially those who make the company bigger.

Haizhu Securities is quite well-known throughout the country. Pan Jun, the chairman, can be imagined, and Pan Jun is supporting Zhao Lin intentionally or unintentionally. I'm afraid this Zhao Lin is even more difficult.

Lu Dong is also considered to have social experience, and immediately made a guess based on observation.

After hearing Zhao Laogen's introduction, Zhao Lin stepped forward to shake hands with Lu Dong, and asked with a smile, Lu's Catering in Taidong?

Lu Dong replied with a smile: Yes, Lu's Catering in Taidong.

Mr. Lu's company is big enough. Zhao Lin seemed to like to laugh, and his smile gave people a particularly sincere feeling: I have projects in several provinces in North China and East China. Every time I go to a city, I can see Mr. Lu's restaurant.

Seeing the other party smile, Lu Dong laughed too: This shows that Mr. Zhao has a lot of projects, the scale of the company is large, and the investment in the real estate industry is extraordinary.

Zhao Lin's gaze swept over Lu Dong's face. This man was a few years younger than him, but he spoke in a different way, and his smile was simple and honest, which was similar to him.

When we met for the first time, naturally we couldn't say much, and it was in this kind of place again.

Zhao Lin exchanged business cards with Lu Dong, and said, Mr. Lu, this year or next year, I may go to Quannan to develop business, and I will inevitably chatter with Mr. Lu.

At the scene, Lu Dong came one by one: Mr. Zhao is welcome to come to Quannan early to develop business.

Such words, of course, are just words.

Pan Jun also came over to exchange business cards with Lu Dong, and asked, Mr. Lu, are you interested in investing in the securities industry?

Lu Dong responded: To be honest, I don't know much about this industry.

This is a magical industry, an industry that gathers wealth, and an industry that creates myths. Pan Jun's voice was not high, but he was bewitching: Mr. Lu, if you have time, you can study this industry carefully.

He seems to be trying to attract clients: Mr. Lu's company has achieved the current scale, why not seek listing? If Mr. Lu is willing, Haizhu Securities can handle related matters for Mr. Lu.

As soon as these words came out, Lu Dong still had a smile on his face, but he became very vigilant in his heart.

Who was the last person who encouraged him to go public? What is that man-made? Where did you end up?

Lu Dong said: If necessary, I will find Mr. Pan.

After saying this, Lu Dong's eyes swept over Xie Yixin who was beside him.

The two sides didn't say any more, and they dispersed.

Lu Dong got into the car and asked Zhao Laogen, Mr. Zhao, are you familiar with those two?

Zhao Laogen said: That Zhao Lin, I met for the first time today. Mr. Pan has met several times before. He has been investing heavily in Xie Yixin in recent years. It is said that the TV series and records that Xie Yixin starred in all have this person. Mr. Pan's handwriting.

Lu Dong nodded slightly, this was guesswork, besides, Qian Yangchun also talked about the popular Xie Yixin in the past chat.

It was because of Pan Jun's proposal about the securities industry that Lu Dong asked one more question, but he didn't care much about anything else.

As for Zhao Lin, according to Zhao Laogen, he is quite familiar with the circle in the capital city, and he has never met him before.

But Rhine River Real Estate is a real estate development company with a considerable scale. It operates a large-scale villa area project in the capital. People who can play with such a scale, even called Pan Jun respectfully, must have a certain background.

Lu Dong knew the depth of the water in the capital, and he didn't intend to explore it, but just remembered this man named Zhao Lin.

Zhao Laogen is preparing to open a Zhao Laogen stage in the capital, and the next day he specially invited Lv Dong to go around the alternate location.

Because Lu Dong declined the investment, Zhao Laogen wanted to build a big stage for Zhao Laogen in the capital and needed new investors.

In fact, Zhao Laogen has been paying attention to Lu's Catering and Lujiacun Group. Knowing that these two companies spent huge sums of money to buy Gasgoo Logistics Group last year, and at the beginning of this year, they have added an additional investment of 100 million, which is really powerless.

The Zhao Laogen stage is held in the capital, which is where Laogen Media and his Zhao Laogen’s face is located. It must not be as small as the Lujia Village stage. The location is under the Forbidden City. The land is very expensive, and the theater needs to be newly built. The investment inside is huge.

Fortunately, he has found some connections. If the contact goes well, it may bring more benefits than cooperating with Lu Dong.

In addition, Zhao Laogen bought a courtyard house here, and specially invited Lu Dong to visit it. The second courtyard, with the shape of blue bricks and gray tiles, is antique.

Mr. Lu, I know there are courtyard houses for sale nearby.

When he came to the main room and sat on a solid wooden chair, Zhao Laogen suggested: Don't you buy one? When you come to live in the capital, we can be neighbors.

Lu Dong looked around: It's okay to buy a house as an investment, but just live in it. He said directly: I have lived in this kind of house since I was a child, and I have lived in this kind of house for more than 20 years. I have a deep understanding of how inconvenient it is to live in.

If you really want to buy a house to live in, you need to modernize the interior.

Zhao Laogen said with a smile: I forgot, there is never a shortage of old houses in Lujia Village.

Modern life, water, gas, electricity, heating, etc., are all necessary. Many old courtyard houses must be remodeled, and it is a big move, even more troublesome than rebuilding.

Lu Dong has lived in a similar house since he was a child, and has no interest in it.

After sitting in the main room for a while, Zhao Laogen took Lu Dong to visit another place.

After all, at the foot of the Son of Heaven, it is somewhat self-satisfying to be able to buy a large courtyard with a second entrance here.

Zhao Laogen also talked to Lu Dong about things in the Beijing circle. Maybe the influence of the old and the young is still there, and braid plays are particularly popular in the Beijing circle.

For example, the hit Yongzheng Dynasty two years ago, in Zhao Laogen's words, the quality of the filming was really good, but the filming of Emperor Yongzheng was a perfect model.

Is that still Yongzheng? The whole civil servant who devotes himself wholeheartedly to his work.

Lu Dong had seen it a little bit, and thinking about it carefully, it seemed to make sense.

Zhao Laogen said: The ideological revolution in this circle has not been carried out thoroughly.

Lu Dong smiled, and just about to say something, the phone rang suddenly, he picked it up to check the number, and immediately went out to the yard, said a few words after connecting, and hung up the phone quickly.

There are very, very important matters at Qingzhao's side, so this trip to the capital can only be interrupted.

Seeing Lu Dong turning back, the expression on his face was different, Zhao Laogen was quite curious, did something serious happen to Lu's Village?

Lu Dong put away his mobile phone and said, Mr. Zhao, there is an urgent matter at my hometown. I need to hurry back. I will trouble you with matters in the capital.

It was the first time that Zhao Laogen saw Lu Dong's eagerness. He had never been so anxious before. While secretly guessing in his heart, he said without hesitation: Mr. Lu, just go and get busy, just leave the matter of Country Love to me. .”

Mr. Zhao, please. Lu Dong nodded slightly: I'm leaving right now, call me if I need anything.

Going out to get on the bus, Lu Dong immediately asked Lu Kun to book the earliest flight back to Quannan, and then called Xu Qin, telling Xu Qin to hurry up and pack his luggage, and return to Quannan with him today.

For some publicity matters, it would be more convenient for Xu Qin to connect with them.

When he arrived at the hotel, Lu Dong saw Xu Qin waiting in the lobby. When he saw him coming, he went up to him and asked, What's the matter? You're in such a hurry?

Lu Dong was very careful, after all, he couldn't be too cautious: You can't say it now, you will know soon when you go back.

From his speech and demeanor, Xu Qin judged that it was a very important matter, so he didn't ask any more questions, and called his assistant to go upstairs with Lu Dong to help pack his luggage.

After Lu Kun handled the ticket booking, the group left the hotel and rushed to the airport, and took the flight back to Quannan on the same day.
