The environment of Confucian Pavilion lived up to its name. Perhaps the boss admired the aura of Confucianism too much, so the entire clubhouse was filled with the aura of Confucianism that could only be felt in the land of Confucius.
As the saying goes, friends come from afar, as long as one is not alone, there must be neighbors … Xu Yun looked up and saw such embossed words of the Analects of Confucius everywhere. This place was indeed worthy of the word "Confucian". Of course, the word "Confucian" was reflected in Confucianism, but the word "Elegance" was not reflected in the coffee.
The entire clubhouse was filled with the fragrance of tea. People with real taste in life in Hua Xia would not come out with a cup of cat poop coffee to show off. They drank tea leaves that cost tens of thousands of yuan per catty or a few taels, or even more expensive.
500 grams of West Lake Longjing Head Tea was sold at a sky-high price of 180,000 yuan at the pre-sale auction. A 100 grams of Xinyang Maojian tea called "Daqi" was sold for 26,800 yuan. 50 grams of old Pu 'er tea could be sold for 138,000 yuan!
A tube of Fuyuanchang Blue Inner Flying Round Tea could be sold for 5,040,000 yuan! This was enough to buy a 100-square-meter mansion in the most expensive city in the world.
"The people here really know how to enjoy themselves." Xu Yun: "I didn't expect there to be such a place in Taiwan that worships Confucianism. Why didn't you bring me here earlier to play? "
Lin Suyin looked at Xu Yun in disbelief. "You worship Confucianism? I didn't see it. I thought you wouldn't be interested in such a place, so I didn't bring you here to play. Don't you think this place is too solemn and oppressive? "
"What's oppressive about this?" Xu Yun: "The essence of Confucianism is benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, and trust! Don't do to others what you don't want done to yourself. People who want to stand up should stand up. People who want to reach should become great. What's so oppressive about this place? It should be more comfortable. "
"I didn't see it. You're a top student?" Lin Suyin said, "Let me tell you, I really did study at a Confucius Institute."
"If there really is a Confucius Institute, it should be set up in Qufu, the hometown of Confucius. Those Confucius Institutes outside are all nonsense." Xu Yun: "Do you know what an apricot altar is? It was located in the middle of the palace hall, with double eaves, eight caisson wells used for the interior, yellow colored glaze on the roof tiles, and golden dragons and seals used for the colored paintings. Listening to Confucian culture in that place is what you call a true baptism. "
Lin Suyin pouted. "You speak as if you're from that place."
"I really am from that place." Xu Yun said, "Although I didn't grow up there, I have to understand the culture there."
"Then we really didn't choose the wrong place today. You can explain to Qiao Kaiyu what the real Confucian culture is. He will definitely look at you differently." Lin Suyin said, "I heard that Qiao Kaiyu admires Confucian culture very much."
Xu Yun said disdainfully, "How can there be such scum among those who worship Confucian culture? Don't joke around … At most, he's using this as a cover to cheat money, right? "
"Your guess is quite accurate. I heard that he even set up some Confucian Business Association and used the reputation of a Confucian businessman to raise funds. As for what exactly he did, no one knows." Lin Suyin said, "But you must be clear about what you're here for today. You're not here to undermine him. Don't be so disrespectful."
"I understand, I understand." Xu Yun nodded. "I will definitely give him enough face."
Just as the two were talking, Qiao Kaiyu finally appeared. He looked to be in his early forties, but he looked very energetic, giving people the feeling that he was in his thirties.
He was dressed in a Tang suit and wore the most ordinary black cloth shoes. In his hand, he was playing with a string of Taihang Mountain's Millennium Cliff Beads. This was the best of the best, not the kind of things that could be sold online for a few thousand yuan.
In today's society where people played with Red Sandalwood and Vajra Beads, there were not many people who played with Cliff Beads. There were also not many people who understood Cliff Beads.
Qiao Kaiyu didn't make a bunch of Great Vajra Bodhi that could show his noble status at first glance. Instead, he played with a bunch of Cliff Bodhisattvas that many people wouldn't be surprised to see. Obviously, he wanted to show that he was different from others.
This was indeed very different. One could feel that he was not ordinary at a glance.
"Hahaha, I've been here too many times. I've always wanted to get to know President Lin of the Three Lotus Association. I didn't expect President Lin to be so young and beautiful. I'm so captivating, "Qiao Kaiyu greeted Lin Suyin when he saw her from afar. Although it was his first time meeting Lin Suyin, he had heard and seen news about her before. Of course, he could recognize her.
Lin Suyin smiled and said gracefully, "Boss Qiao really knows how to talk. You're also much younger and more handsome than I thought."
"President Lin, for you to say that, I'm really relying on your priceless advice." Qiao Kaiyu said, "Let's go in and have a seat. Try the tea leaves I brought from the mainland. They are definitely not inferior to the top grade tea leaves in the Confucian Pavilion."
It was obvious that Qiao Kaiyu attached great importance to getting to know the Three Lotus Association. He even brought the top grade Da Hong Pao that he bought at a high price from the auction.
"Boss Qiao is really too polite." Lin Suyin said, "I'm so embarrassed."
"You're too polite!" Qiao Kaiyu was the kind of person who would not leave a bad impression on others. It seemed like he was really an easy business partner.
After the few of them arrived at the private room, Qiao Kaiyu asked his subordinates to take away the tea leaves to brew.
Seeing that Xu Yun and Wu Yuandong had also come in with Lin Suyin, Qiao Kaiyu asked curiously, "President Lin, I wonder who is your right-hand man? Wu Yuandong, President Wu?"
"It seems that Boss Qiao is very clear about my situation." Lin Suyin smiled faintly, "Then guess who they are."
Qiao Kaiyu shook his head, "I can't guess. It's definitely not because I did any research on President Lin. It's just that the Three Lotus Association is so famous that it's hard for ordinary people not to know about it. President Wu's reputation is also very good. If I say that I don't know, then I'd be going against the gentleman's conduct. As Confucius said, 'What you know is what you know; what you don't know is what you don't know.' "
"Boss Qiao is so knowledgeable about Confucian culture. You are indeed a refined businessman," Xu Yun said as he pointed at Wu Yuandong, "This is our Three Lotus Association's President Wu."
"Nice to meet you." Although Qiao Kaiyu was speaking to Wu Yuandong, his thoughts had already shifted to Xu Yun. He had never heard of the Three Lotus Association having a third President. Moreover, this fellow looked somewhat familiar to him. Qiao Kaiyu nodded.
Wu Yuandong also replied, "I've heard a lot about you."
"I wonder what kind of investment Boss Qiao is going to make in Taiwan this time." Lin Suyin smiled slightly, "I heard a very laughable rumor."
Qiao Kaiyu was startled, "Don't tell me that all I did was take a walk at Fisherman's Street and the people of Taiwan thought that I would invest in that place? That's really too laughable. "
"Yes, it is indeed too laughable." Lin Suyin said, "How could anyone invest in that place unless they were crazy?"
Then, Lin Suyin's tone changed, "However, there's something I don't quite understand. Boss Qiao is not someone who wastes time. If Fisherman's Street did not have the benefits you wanted, you wouldn't have gone there twice, right?"
Qiao Kaiyu took a sip of tea and looked at Lin Suyin with a smile, "Miss Lin, you are indeed exceptionally intelligent. However, this is a private matter. Hehe, please forgive me for not being able to answer. "
"Boss Qiao, I am not trying to pry into your private matters," Lin Suyin said. "Fisherman's Street is a barren place with many unruly people. If Boss Qiao needs my help in that place, the Three Lotus Association will definitely cooperate fully. Consider this a meeting gift from me to Boss Qiao. As for what Boss Qiao wants to do, I don't care if you tell me or not."
Qiao Kaiyu looked at Lin Suyin. For a young girl to have such courage, it was truly admirable. Even he did not have such courage when he was young.
"Then, I thank Miss Lin for taking care of me." Qiao Kaiyu said, "To be able to get to know Miss Lin in Taiwan is my good fortune of three lifetimes. If I were 20 years younger, I would definitely pursue Miss Lin with all my might. Hahaha, Miss Lin is truly a goddess in my eyes. "
This old thing is quite good at coaxing girls. He doesn't even blush when saying those words. His skin is really thick.
