Chapter 460: You went too smoothly

The plane had already risen. Le Yao and I were in economy class and the other was in first class. Although we were on the same flight, we had no intersection. So during the two hours of itinerary, I was still asleep until I woke up when I was about to arrive in Beijing. After a while, the plane also landed at the airport. I did not leave immediately, but stayed in my seat and waited for Le Yao.

After waiting for a while, she finally appeared in my sight, walked to me and stopped, and asked, "Where are you waiting for me?"

"yes."

Le Yao frowned slightly: "You might have followed me on purpose, right?"

"Flying from Shanghai to Beijing, a ticket costs nearly 1,000 yuan. Am I going to follow you?"

Le Yao smiled at me and said, "No matter whether you are following me or not, I have to tell you that there may be another group of reporters waiting for me outside the airport now. If you are willing to drift this muddy water, you can continue to follow."

I grabbed her arm and asked, "Are there reporters guarding outside? What do you mean, this time I came to Beijing to announce my return to the entertainment industry?"

"The company has not signed me yet. Who can help me hold a press conference... Zhaoyang, I don't understand. Why are you so eager for me to return to the entertainment industry?"

"I don't want you to go back to the entertainment industry, but I just hope you can return to the normal life trajectory. Since it's normal, you have to have a job. What else can you do besides acting?"

"Didn't you open your own company? Why don't I go and be an assistant for you? I don't think of your company as a small one."

"Stop kidding?"

Le Yao shrugged her shoulders and then walked towards the hatch. I followed her steps. She turned around and said to me with a smile: "Zhaoyang, there is a reporter... If you have the courage, you can continue to follow, otherwise I will hold your arm and make a couple look like a couple!"

After she reminded me, I immediately became lingering in fear. I subconsciously stopped. Le Yao looked at me disdainfully, and then walked towards the hatch alone.

Until I left the airport, I didn't see any reporters. I just saw Le Yao getting on a silver-white BMW without squinting, and it soon disappeared from my sight. But even so, I couldn't help but think about her motivation and purpose for coming to Beijing this time, and suddenly I felt that this woman who had been with me all day had become mysterious.

.........

After waiting outside the airport for a while, Yang Congrong's driver drove to pick me up and took me to a restaurant with a very classic Chinese style, and Yang Congrong held a banquet here to entertain me, but this banquet was only just his host and me as a guest.

After I entered the private room, Yang Congrong's assistant stepped out, and he also stood up to greet me, and then greeted me again. After I sat down, he smiled and said, "Before talking about serious things, let's determine what wine to drink. I bring two bottles of Wuliangye that I have collected for more than ten years, or beer is fine!"

This seemingly simple choice has a profound meaning. If you choose to drink liquor, it means a formality. In the next communication, we will talk about cooperation from the perspective of a businessman. If you choose beer, it proves that it is with affection. We can talk about our difficulties and positions with all our hearts and hearts, and then find solutions.

I responded to Yang Congrong's smile and said, "The beer bar is only available for drinking this season."

Yang Cong-chan nodded: "Then I am so glad that you came to see me in the autumn. Actually, I don't like drinking white wine. I'm really tired of drinking white wine in various social events over the years!"

"If you understand, then drink beer bar, but this is my dedication to you Uncle Yang. I think you want to drink beer more than me!"

Yang Congqing smiled "haha" and then pointed at me, saying, "You guy, there are many tricks, but you can understand what I mean, I think we will have a lot of talks next."

I nodded in agreement.

......

The authentic Beijing dishes were delivered by the waiter one after another. I poured Yang Congrong a glass of beer and poured himself one. Then both of them finished the beer in one gulp. Yang Congrong seemed to be very interested in drinking beer and signaled me to add another glass to him. I immediately filled him with one glass and filled it all by myself. After the two of them touched one, they drank it all boldly again.

After drinking three cups in a row, Yang Congrong finally put down the cup, smacked his lips and savored it for a while, and said to me: "Although this wine has not been enjoying enough, it has already started a good start. I believe we can keep calm and continue the communication below, so if you have any doubts, ask me, I will definitely speak out!"

I put down the cup in my hand, gently extended my breathing, and asked him: "Uncle Yang, I want to know what motives you were investing in Luku, the company. I am increasingly distrustful of the fact that it is the project of the literary and artistic road that touched you!"

Yang Cong-chan nodded calmly and said, "I was really optimistic about the project of Literary and Art, and the prospects shown by this project are also very good, but... these cannot satisfy me. To be honest, even if I don't invest in this project, I have the ability to build a company like Luku alone and completely control it myself."

"I understand this, so this is also what I am confused about. Why do you still need to invest in this company?"

Yang Congrong poured himself a glass of beer again, and after drinking it all, he said to me with deep emotion: "Zhaoyang, this is an extremely realistic society. No one can create myths casually. Under the existing social system in China, the operation of private enterprises is difficult. You should know that most private enterprises are currently struggling to be on the verge of life and death, and there is only a small part of the glory. Of course, this is not entirely caused by institutional reasons, but in this social atmosphere, if you do not have deep personal connections, your company will not be able to do a big deal. Do you understand this?"

"I understand, but I don't have much experience. My entrepreneurial path seems to be going too smoothly."

"Of course you're going well... Let's take Luku as an example. Have you encountered trouble since its establishment? All procedures involving government approvals have been successfully handled without any obstacles?"

“Yes, I’ve never encountered any obstacles.”

"why is that?"

I understand in my heart, but I have no words.

Yang Cong-chan smiled calmly and said, "This society is a complex network of interests. If you want to survive in this network, you must understand the rules and use the rules well. It is like your literary and artistic path. It looks very creative and has a profound artistic conception. But I tell you that if you want to terminate your project, you can find a reason for fire safety hazards in a certain coffee shop or bar, and you can stop and rectify the entire project. As for when the standards are met, the relevant departments have the final say... I give you this example not to criticize the trend, but just tell you how important connections are in this society!"

After stopping, he said, "I was born in grassroots. My family is very ordinary. I came from the bottom of society. When I was young, I also had many ideas that I thought could be realized. But when I really did it, I always encountered obstacles of one kind and another, which made me give up. I was really discouraged for a while, but I had made a deep reflection. I wanted to cater to this society and those social interests that made me disgusted... I met Jian Boyu ten years ago. We have worked with many projects together. He is a very energetic person. In fact... the one who has the energy is his wife, so Jian Boyu's company can grow bigger and bigger, and Jian Wei is even more powerful. In just a year, he turned the advertising company into the top spot in Suzhou and even the entire southern Jiangsu region... But is this a myth?... It is a myth, not a myth!"

Although I was mentally prepared, when these words were really spoken from Yang Congrong's mouth like a splash of depressed words, I still couldn't help but feel a burst of annoyance. I poured myself a glass of beer and then finished it in one breath.

Yang Congrong finally said to me: "I am a businessman, and I will make judgments and measure many things. What I lack the least in this world is the idea of ​​making money, but turning these ideas into real money and silver markets requires opportunities and luck. This is why I invest in Luku."

Yang Congrong did not make it clear, but the meaning was already very obvious. He invested in Luku entirely because of Jian Wei. For example, the scenic spot project in that county town, why did the government give so much tangible support? The statement here no longer needs to be clearly stated. What Yang Congrong needs most is this official support, because this kind of support is what every businessman dreams of, but without the Luku company invested by Jian Wei as a shelter, he could not get these... This is his most direct motivation for investing in Luku. It is not said that he can use Jian Wei, but everyone needs it!

I nodded and said, "I am really grateful to you for being honest about this to me, and I understand you better... But what about Jian Wei, why did she invest in Luku and even pull you? With her ability, she doesn't need to pull you at all, and can achieve this series of business goals."

"Do you really don't understand this?"

I was not willing to continue to speculate with subjectivity, so I looked at Yang Congrong, waited for him to give me the most real answer, and then recalled in my mind what natural reasons did Jian Wei use to promote the establishment of Luku, and for what reasons did she invest in this company?
