Chapter 5 5. Official private dishes

After receiving the call from Ding Nengtong, Jin Weimin and Li Xinru immediately boarded the plane from Hong Kong to Beijing.Jin Weimin is a maverick, he is low-key and public in his actions. Originally, Ding Nengtong wanted to pick him up at the Capital Airport in person and arranged a room for him in the Beijing Garden, but Jin Weimin politely declined. Maybe Jin Weimin didn't want Ding Nengtong Seeing through his strength, this made Ding Nengtong very upset.Ding Neng thought to himself, others don't know what's going on with you, Jin Weimin, but I still don't know, even if you, Jin Weimin, are wearing a dragon robe and appearing on the Forbes list, I can still see through you.

Jin Weimin is indeed deliberately packaging himself. The resume disclosed to the outside world is an international capital market financing expert and a Ph.D. in economics.In fact, Jin Weimin practiced street stalls, contracted small shops, and even worked as a chef for a year during the process of finding the first pot of gold. He also worked in a foreign trade company in his hometown. Later, he went to Shenzhen. On the road of capital operation. These experiences are unknown to others, but Ding Nengtong has a clear mind.When he first entered the domestic capital market, Jin Weimin ambitiously wanted to operate a large IT company in Beijing’s Zhongguancun to go public in the United States. He was introduced to the general manager of the company and talked about international capital, the internationalization of Chinese companies, and The idea of ​​using finance to drive the development of the enterprise turned out to be regarded as an empty-handed swindler and sent people to the Beijing Municipal Public Security Bureau to report the case. The Beijing Municipal Public Security Bureau immediately detained Jin Weimin. It took a lot of trouble to get Jin Weimin out.It is precisely because of this shortcoming that Jin Weimin always wants to reshape his image in front of Ding Nengtong.

However, Jin Weimin is indeed not what it used to be. After several years of hard work, Jin Weimin has developed extremely keen insight in the financial market. A super skill related to trouble.He has successfully operated more than a dozen domestic large and medium-sized enterprises listed in Hong Kong and Singapore. However, what attracted Jin Weimin the most was the capital market in the United States. He secretly made up his mind to personally send domestic companies to Wall Street in New York for listing, but he never found a suitable company.It wasn't until he received a call from Ding Nengtong the day before yesterday that he introduced in detail that Wu Dongming, the mayor of Dongzhou City, that he was looking for international capital masters to operate Dongqi Group's overseas listing, that Jin Weimin saw the dawn of his grand plans.

In order to thank his old classmates for providing him with an opportunity to create a capital myth, Jin Weimin hosted a banquet at the official private restaurant near the Kunlun Hotel to thank Ding Nengtong.Originally, Ding Nengtong wanted to welcome Jin Weimin in the Beijing Garden, but he didn't expect that Jin Weimin would turn his back on customers. Ding Nengtong understood Jin Weimin's mood and agreed. The reason why Jin Weimin didn't ask Ding Nengtong to pick him up at the Capital Airport was because Hong Kong Silver Diamond Finance Co., Ltd. had set up an office in Beijing long ago. Every time Jin Weimin went to Beijing, the office arranged for Jin Weimin to live in the Kunlun Hotel.

Ding Nengtong has long known the relationship between Li Xinru and Jin Weimin. On the surface, they are secretaries, but in fact they are lovers. When Hong Kong Silver Diamond Finance Co., Ltd. was established, he still used his relationship as Xiao Honglin's secretary to ask the then boss of Donggang Company to introduce Jin Weimin to Li Xinru. , because according to Hong Kong law, a registered financial company must have two or more shareholders, at least one of whom is a Hong Kong citizen. Li Xinru is a talented woman who graduated from the University of Hong Kong with a major in accounting. After graduation, she was selected by Donggang Company and won the appreciation of the boss of Donggang Company.If it wasn't for Ding Nengtong's mediation, Jin Weimin would never have chosen such a good partner.

For Li Xinru, it was even more gratifying to drop 10% of the shares out of thin air. In addition, Jin Weimin was suave and handsome, even though Li Xinru knew that Jin Weimin was a man with a family, she still devoted herself to it without hesitation. Jin Weimin's arms. Even though Ding Nengtong and Li Xinru have such a deep relationship, it is the first time they meet each other.Since Li Xinru is a pure Hongkonger, Ding Nengtong thought of Zhu Mingli for the convenience of sitting with him. The official private restaurant has only recently become popular in the capital. It is said that the owner of this hotel has inspected the dishes that officials above the bureau level all over the country often order.The hotel was well received by officials when it first opened. Officials from all over the country gathered here to exchange cups and give advice. It was very lively.

Ding Nengtong also came here a few times, and after eating the signature dishes, he couldn't help snickering. It turns out that the so-called private dishes of the government are just a copy of the recipes of the Beijing offices of various places, removing the fake and keeping the real.Several signature dishes of the Beijing Office of Dongzhou City are also impressively listed on the recipes of the government's private dishes. It is said that these signature dishes are quite well received by customers. The names of the dozens of private rooms in the government private restaurant are also quite distinctive. They all use the names of government agencies, such as the General Office, the Finance Bureau, the Organization Department, the Beijing Office, etc. It is said that the guests of any department can book the department. The private rooms are neat and orderly.Jin Weimin also went to do as the Romans did, and booked a private room in the Beijing Office on the second floor.

Ding Nengtong booked the private room of the Beijing Office a few times, and he was already familiar with it. When he walked into the private room of the Beijing Office with Zhu Mingli, Jin Weimin had already ordered food and wine. Zhu Mingli had heard Ding Nengtong talk about Jin Weimin's legendary experience a long time ago. After exchanging pleasantries, she deliberately took a few glances. Jin Weimin was of medium build, with thick eyebrows and thin eyes, and the eyes behind the gold-rimmed glasses were sharp and sharp. One could tell he was a wise man , the back of the hair is combed perfectly.What impresses Zhu Mingli the most is that Jin Weimin is a person who rarely leaves the opportunity to observe his side or even the back to others.

Unlike Zhu Mingli, Ding Nengtong is more interested in Li Xinru.It is precisely because this man who has never met in front of him has changed his destiny, Li Xinru is also very enthusiastic about Ding Nengtong.This made Zhu Mingli very uncomfortable.Especially Li Xinru's beauty made Zhu Mingli a little jealous. Zhu Mingli has lived and worked in Hong Kong for many years. Whether she is walking into an office or shopping in Hong Kong, Zhu Mingli is most confident in her beauty.But in front of Li Xinru, Zhu Mingli suddenly lost her confidence. She felt that the woman in front of her was not only delicate and charming, but also charming. Any man might lose his way if she glanced at her.

In fact, Li Xinru also felt the same when she saw Zhu Mingli. Seeing Jin Weimin holding Zhu Mingli's hand and refusing to let go, she couldn't help coughing coquettishly.In fact, Jin Weimin was not attracted by Zhu Mingli's beauty, but by her experience as a secretary for Huang Hanchen, chairman of the board of directors of Hong Kong Yellow River Group. Huang Hanchen has always been the pride of the Chinese business community, and it has always been Jin Weimin's dream to become a business superman like Huang Hanchen in this life.Because of this, Jin Weimin felt that meeting Zhu Mingli was as cordial as meeting Huang Hanchen.

After greetings and sitting down, Ding Nengtong raised his glass first, and said mockingly: "Wei Min, even though you're an anti-customer and want to invite me, I have to respect you first for the first glass of wine. Borrowing flowers to present Buddha, you pay the bill, and I'll take over. Come on, let's go first." Do it for your respect!" The two drank their glasses of wine with a smile, and Jin Weimin said with a smile, "I can get through. Now that you have become the director of the Beijing Office, you still can't change your problem of taking the lead!" "Weimin," Ding Nengtong said with a wry smile, "what kind of official is the director of the Beijing Office? He is a low-level role in the officialdom. Didn't you hear people say that when I was young, my classmates who pronounced English as 'payable interest' are now The president of the bank; the one who reads "washing in the gutter" has become a vegetable dealer; the one who reads "cause and effect relationship" has now become a philosopher; It became 'should be exhausted', and now it's the director of the Beijing Office." After Ding Nengtong finished speaking, everyone laughed, especially Li Xinru and Zhu Mingli's laughter was even more trembling. "Brother Ding, you're so funny. I've heard Weimin say that the directors of the Beijing Office are all able-bodied people with a vision for the capital. Their connections are so deep that even the secretary of the municipal party committee and the mayor should be in awe of them." !" Li Xinru said with a face like a lily and a voice like spring rain. "Thank you too much. The mentality of the people passed down by the feudal society for more than two thousand years is deeply rooted. In the feudal dynasty, the 'son of heaven' is Lao Tzu, and the feudal princes are sons, and sons obey Lao Tzu's orders; but now power is the truth, and leadership is the core. How can the director of the Beijing Office compare with Weimin and these capital darlings who live a real life!" Ding Nengtong said with self-deprecation. "Brother Tong, I agree with Xinru's point of view. Not everyone can be the director of the Beijing Office. Those who become the director of the Beijing Office will be outstanding in everything they do. It's almost the same without superpowers. Mr. Jin, you Say it?" Zhu Mingli didn't understand why Ding Nengtong lacked confidence today. In fact, ever since Ding Nengtong accompanied Mayor Wu to the 301 Hospital to visit Wang Dingchen, his mood has been very complicated, because Ding Nengtong found that Xi Tao, who will soon be the assistant director of the Dongzhou City Office in Beijing, has eagle-like eyes, which are like pinhole cameras. Zaddin can't fidget.Now that the day when Xi Tao took office is getting closer, Ding Nengtong has not yet figured out how to deal with the spy Wu Dongming has placed in the Beijing Office.Ding Nengtong is keenly aware that those who come to Beijing are not good, and Xi Tao may become the most powerful political opponent in his career as the director of the Beijing Office. "Yes, Mr. Zhu's words are very insightful. I am the biggest beneficiary of you, the director of the Beijing Office. In fact, no matter whether you are in the business world or in the officialdom, when people sum up the winners, it seems that every step is carefully planned. In fact, From the point of view of our client, many things are like eating radish with mud, washing a piece and eating a piece, so step by step, there are many restrictions that force us to keep changing, and sometimes people are forced out like this.” Jin Weimin quite To say with emotion. When he was in college, Ding Nengtong admired Jin Weimin's eagerness to learn and learn a lot. He was quick to see problems, thought deeply, came up with new ideas, and was talkative, often gushing out discussions.Out of jealousy, some students felt that he was conceited and domineering, but in fact he was not arrogant, he just lived his true nature and never concealed it.At that time, Ding Nengtong was also in the prime of his life, and his ideas were soaring. The two of them often argued with each other over an issue. Now that I think about it, it really is like a shuttle! "Weimin, let me tell you the truth. Dongqi Group is now at the end of its rope and besieged on all sides. Its vitality depends entirely on your superb ability to operate in the capital market. Mayor Wu listened to my introduction to you and gave you my best wishes. There is great hope, once you take over Dongqi Group, you will embark on a long way to go!" Ding Nengtong reminded meaningfully. It should be said that Jin Weimin planned to go to Dongzhou this time after careful consideration, and even made the determination to do everything he could.He knew that there was a great risk in this. If it failed, the intermediary fee of five million dollars would be lost. More importantly, there was a huge political risk in it. If something happened in the future, he would be punished. Why do you have nothing to say?But in Jin Weimin's life, the most important thing for him is the sense of mission and accomplishment. He thinks more about success than failure. "It works. Entrepreneurs are called adventurers," Jin Weimin said without concealment. "You doubt this and that, and you can't do anything. A real entrepreneur is not enough to be shrewd, but also to be a little stupid." Knowing that there are tigers in the mountains, it is not a fool to go to the mountains. But the rise and fall of the country is everyone's responsibility. Once this matter is taken over, I have thought about how much I will lose and how much I will gain. I do this for the sake of completion. A long-cherished wish of mine. As long as it can benefit the nation, this is my greatest comfort!" Jin Weimin's words touched Ding Nengtong very much. He has a brilliant life, and a wise man is not confused. He originally thought that as the director of the Beijing Office, he could not only stay away from the intrigue of Dongzhou officialdom, but also enjoy the imperial contacts accumulated by using the mysterious platform of the Beijing Office. He is rich and honored in a position, and he would not change it even if he got this position. Compared with Jin Weimin's ambition, Ding Nengtong suddenly felt ashamed. He felt that Jin Weimin was more like a hero in Jin Yong's writings in front of him, and he was more like Wei Xiaobao. "Weimin, when you were in college, your ambitions were greater than mine," Ding Nengtong said shamelessly, "but I want to remind you, don't speak out loudly after you have grasped the truth. I know this best in the officialdom. The old system has Strong path dependence and running inertia, I am most worried about your character, most people in life eat flies and swallow them, but you are the one who openly refuses to eat them." Jin Weimin understood Ding Nengtong's kindness very well, but he still felt that Ding Nengtong had lost his vigor after staying in the officialdom for a long time, and probably only remained cunning and tactful, so he said with a smile: "Nengtong, there is a poor young man in France. After ten years of struggle, he finally became a media tycoon and became one of the fifty richest men in France. When he died in 1998, he published his will in the local newspaper, saying: I was also born poor, and I know that the poor What is the most lacking person will receive a reward of one million francs. Almost 20,000 people scrambled to send in their own answers, and the answers were varied. Most of the people believed that what the poor lacked most was money, and the other part People think that what the poor lack the most is opportunities and skills...but they didn't get the right answer. One year later, his lawyer disclosed the answer: what the poor lack most is the ambition to become rich! This answer shocked Europe and the United States, and almost all rich people They all recognized it and said the key to becoming a rich man. The "ambition" mentioned here, correctly speaking, should be the "ambition" we often talk about. It is hard for us to imagine that a person with low ambitions, a person without People with lofty goals and people who don’t even have a blueprint can create miracles. I can understand your reminder, but I like the story of Yugong Yishan the most. Since you can’t choose history, then obey the choice of history. China China's reform and opening up is like a great river going east, the Yellow River has reached the mouth of the sea, history has passed the torrents and shoals, and is about to enter the big trend of the world. If you go with the flow, you will prosper, and if you go against it, you will perish, don't you think?" "After listening to Mr. Jin's words, I also remembered a story. There was a man who was very poor. A rich man pitied him and wanted to help him get rich. The rich man gave him a cow and told him to open up wasteland. Sow seeds in spring, and the autumn will be rich. You can get rid of poverty. The poor start to struggle with hope. But within a few days, the cows have to eat grass and people have to eat. Life is more difficult than in the past, so he thought, why not sell the cows, buy a few sheep, and kill one to eat first. , the rest can give birth to lambs, and when they grow up, they can be sold for more money. The plan of the poor has come true. It’s just that after eating a lamb, the lamb has not been born for a long time, and the life is difficult, and I can’t help but eat it again One. The poor man thought, if things go on like this, it’s better to sell the sheep and buy some chickens. The chickens lay eggs faster, and life will improve immediately. The poor man’s plan has come true again, but the life has not changed. I couldn't help but kill the chicken, and when there was only one chicken left, the ideals of the poor were completely shattered. I thought, getting rich is hopeless, why not sell the chicken and drink a bottle of wine, and get drunk to relieve all worries! Spring comes Yes, the rich sent the seeds with great enthusiasm, and found the poor lying drunk on the ground, still impoverished. The rich turned around and left, and the poor continued to be poor. It can be seen that the poor not only have no capital, but more sadly, they have no awareness of capital operation.” Li Xinru said with great interest. Zhu Mingli took over the topic and said: "Brother Tong, Mr. Jin, the poor people Xinru mentioned are very similar to the state-owned enterprises that are struggling today. The management of many state-owned enterprises is like this poor person's life, and the mentality is exactly the same." Zhu Mingli’s words hit the nail on the head, and Ding Nengtong said with emotion: “Mingli’s metaphor is very vivid. The reason why Dongqi Group is in today’s predicament is caused by this mentality of the poor. What is this mentality of the poor? It is the old system and the old mechanism. , How to change the old system? It is not enough to just give cattle. Take Dongqi Group as an example. It is no longer able to operate capital.” "So, for the 'poor' Dongqi Group, what is lacking is not a rich man who gives cattle, but an investor with the ability to operate international capital!" Jin Weimin said with a laugh. Everyone was also amused by Jin Weimin's wit, and Ding Nengtong interjected: "Weimin, I have an appointment with Mayor Wu. He has a meeting in the province tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow will be dedicated to meeting you in the morning. Where do you want to go all day tomorrow?" ? Do you want me to accompany you to visit the places of interest in Beijing?" "Yes, I heard that the lottery of Beijing Baiyun Temple is very effective. If you have time tomorrow, how about going to Baiyun Temple with me?" Jin Weimin said piously. "No problem, Taoist Master Mei Feng of Baiyun Temple is my friend. He is proficient and good at observing facial features. He is an expert who often walks in Zhongnanhai!" Ding Neng said magically. "Well, tomorrow we will devote ourselves to Qiu Zuting and ask about the Baiyun Temple." After Jin Weimin finished speaking, he toasted and drank heavily.The wine met a bosom friend, everyone drank happily, and even the two beauties who were as beautiful as flowers and jade were three points drunk.
