Li He did not understand what was going on. He could only leave it at that and muddle through.
Xiaowei came over again, hands behind her back and said mysteriously, "Brother, I have something for you."
"Pour me a cup of tea." Li He had never seen anything good before and was not interested at all.
"Okay." Xiaowei still had one hand behind her back and used the other to make tea for Li He. She brought it to Li He and said with a smile, "Brother, just guess."
"Air conditioner?" Xiaowei shook her head. Li He was not paying attention. "Washing machine?"
"The washing machine was just delivered a few days ago." Xiaowei was a little dejected.
"Television?"
"No."
"Then what is it? I can't guess it. Just say it." Li He did not have the time to play with him.
"Brother, look." Xiaowei showed him the hand that she had been holding behind her back. It was two license plates.
One was "Jing A 00001" and the other was "Jing A 88888".
People flocked to license plates and phone numbers with the number "8". Even the opening of the 2008 Olympic Games was set at 8 pm on August 8th, 2008. It seemed to be a product of following the customs.
"You got it?" Li He could not help but look at Xiaowei in awe.
Xiaowei smiled awkwardly. "Brother, you think too highly of me. I don't have that ability. I had to beg my grandpa and grandma to get my own five license plates. "
"Then where did you get them?" Li He was puzzled.
Xiaowei said, "Brother Pinsong heard that you bought a new car and asked me to send it over. These two license plates have always been with him."
"Why would I need so many license plates?" Li He was disdainful. He had three Type-84 license plates which were much more useful. He did not have to worry about getting a ticket for the rest of his life.
"Brother, why don't you keep them?" Xiaowei tried to please him. "If you don't use them, no one would dare to use them. Brother Pinsong has five license plates and he is too embarrassed to use them."
He did not dare to use his five license plates either.
Li He said impatiently, "Take down my van's and Jetta's license plates and put these two in."
It was indeed a waste to use the Type-84.
"This …" Little Wei was in a difficult position. Only Li He would dare to think of a van or a Volkswagen Jetta with five or eight license plates.
"If you keep nagging, get lost." Li He was unhappy.
"Sigh." Little Wei had to agree even if he didn't want to. At the same time, he sighed at his bitter fate. Apart from Li He, no one else dared to talk to him like that! He, Boss Jiang, was now known by everyone!
In the end, he hung the five eights license plate on the van, while the 00001 license plate could only be hung on the Jetta.
As soon as the license plate was put up, it attracted a lot of attention. However, when they saw that it was Little Wei, no one dared to say anything.
After Little Wei hung up the license plate, she called Zhu Dacheng and asked him to complete all the paperwork at the vehicle management office.
Li He also strolled out to take a look and felt that it was not bad.
Perhaps because he didn't eat much in the afternoon, he was a little hungry, so he went to the main road to find something to eat. Coincidentally, there was a sesame seed cake stall.
"Give me two sesame seed cakes."
This spot originally belonged to the Jianbing couple. However, the couple had used the Jianbing to accumulate their first pot of gold. They had already opened a new restaurant in Xuanwumen. It was less than 400 meters away from the Four Seas Restaurant in Shoushan. Now, it was a prosperous area where every inch of land was worth its weight in gold.
This was an era where as long as one wasn't stupid and had the guts, one could earn money.
For businessmen in this era, unless they were extremely unlucky, they really didn't need to work hard. They just needed to have the guts and brains. Working hard was something that only people born in the 80s or 90s needed to do.
This statement was a little heart-wrenching, but it was often the truth.
He took the pancake in his hand and searched his pockets left and right. This was awkward!
He was determined to change his bad habit of not carrying money in his pockets!
Just as he was about to ask the boss to pay later, he heard someone say, "I'll pay! I'll pay! "
The person who was paying for him had a tanned face and was wearing a shiny yellow leather jacket. He smiled at Li He and said, "Boss Li, don't you remember me?"
Li He turned his head and thought for a long time before saying, "You are that … Chen …"
"Chen Youli! Boss Li, it's hard for you to remember me! "Chen Youli answered quickly.
"Boss Chen, when did you come back from Moscow?"
Damn, Li He thought. Sure enough, everyone had their own reasons for success. He was too damn smart. Li He had a deep impression of this tanned man in front of him. After all, this man had been thinking of ways to pimp him every day. How could he not have a deep impression of him?
"I've been back for half a year. Aiya, I've always wanted to thank Boss Li for taking care of me, but I couldn't find any news about you. I didn't expect to meet you here today." Chen Youli still had his trademark silly smile.
"Here, here's your money." The sesame seed cake boss wanted some change from Chen Youli.
"Don't be in such a hurry. Give me two sesame seed cakes too." Chen Youli took the sesame seed cake, smeared a thick layer of chili sauce in the middle of the two sesame seed cakes, and then took a big bite. "I like spicy food."
"There's a small park in front. Let's sit and talk."
Chen Youli had borrowed money from Li He. Although Li He did not lend him money directly, he was still able to get a loan of 5 million Rubles from Delta Bank with him as a guarantor.
However, how much gratitude he had for Li He, Li He did not know.
Both of them were eating sesame seed cakes as they walked towards Xuan Wu Park. A black Rolls-Royce followed behind them at a moderate pace.
When the two of them finished their sesame seed cakes, a girl got out of the car and delivered a box of napkins in time. When the girl was about to pass the napkins to Chen Youli, Chen Youli glared at her.
"Boss, wipe it for me." The girl's reaction was fast. She first passed the napkins to Li He.
"Thank you." Li He took it, but he carefully looked at the patterns on the corners of the napkins. He seemed to have heard from Xiang that the Polar Printing Factory had made China's first napkin embossing and folding machine in addition to printing machines. It filled the gap in China and won some science and technology award.
The embossing and folding machine was sold for 500,000 to 600,000 yuan overseas, but they only sold it for 60,000 yuan. Basically, all the domestic paper companies used their machines.
After the girl passed the napkins to Chen Youli, she returned to the car without saying a word.
Chen Youli smiled. "Boss Li, why don't we have a meal together tonight?"
Li He got up and threw the used napkins into the trash can. Then, he turned around and took the cigarette from Chen Youli. "No need. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future. I just drank at noon. I can't take it anymore."
"Boss Li, this is my business card." Chen Youli was very respectful. He had seen Li He's capability in Moscow, so he was careful with his words. "Boss Li, if you need anything, just let me know. Running errands for Boss Pan Song and Boss Ding is a waste of their talents."
"Chairman of Dong Sheng Foreign Club?" Chairman of Dong Sheng F&B, and General Manager of Chang Ya Culture. A series of titles. Li He was overjoyed, but he still praised him. "Not bad, not bad. You have made a fortune."
He did not expect a pimp could be packaged like this. The so-called Foreign Club was usually closed, and it was difficult for outsiders to enter.
"Boss Li, please excuse me. These things are not good enough for you." Chen Youli was telling the truth. He only knew a small part of Li He's business in the former Soviet Union, and there were many more that he did not know.
Only God knows how big Li He's business was!
The first thing he did when he returned to the country was to inquire about Li He's news, but he didn't manage to find anything. He only knew that Pan Song had set up an Oriental Express in Pujiang. The scale of that ten thousand trucks was simply terrifying!
Today, his luck exploded. He was a blind cat that ran into a dead mouse. He actually ran into Li He.
When he saw the figure at the stall, he almost did not dare to recognize him!
Luckily, he turned the car around and confirmed it again!
Otherwise, he would have missed it!
Li He blew out a smoke ring and said humbly, "You're too kind."
"Boss Li, I know you don't like my line of work, but you know it's not easy for me to make a living." Chen Youli smiled honestly again. "But I'm a boor. If I have something to say, I'll say it directly. We can do other business together. Building houses, hotels, factories, lumber. There's so much more we can do."
"Old Chen." Li He patted him on the shoulder and smiled. "You also know that there's so much we can do? I'll be honest with you. As long as this Club of yours is still in operation, we won't have a chance to work together. I don't do anything illegal. "
Chen Youli did not expect Li He to be so direct. He could only smile awkwardly. "Boss Li, you know about the Earthly World. Why can't we do it? "
There was one more thing he did not say. As long as the relationship was in place, it was legal!
"I'll give you two quotes from Hu Xueyan. Do you want to hear them?"
"Go ahead."
"It's impossible to succeed by betting, because nine out of ten bets are lost." Li He stood up and continued, "To do business, you need to be famous. Once you're famous, your business will be lively, and treasures will come rolling in. "
"I'm enlightened." Chen Youli smiled reluctantly.
"I'll go first. If there's anything, go to the Four Seas Restaurant. Someone will inform me. "
"Boss Li, it's not appropriate to ask. What's the Four Seas Restaurant?"
"It's also my company's business."
Chen Youli looked at Li He's back and fell into shock again. The Four Seas Restaurant could be said to be the leader of the food and beverage industry in China. Basically, it had branches in first-tier and second-tier cities in China. It had become an industry benchmark that was difficult to replicate.
The prerequisite for such an expansion was that one had to be rich.
He felt very frustrated. Why was there such a big gap between people?
When Li He returned home, Li Lan was already holding a corn cob and eating it at the door. After eating it, he threw it on the ground.
Li He said, "Pick it up."
Li Lan did not move.
"Did you hear that? Pick it up." Li He raised his voice and raised his palm.
Li Lan's tears were already welling up.
"You're asking for a beating, aren't you?" Li He felt a little annoyed that he had lost his dignity.
"You're just a kid."
Old Madam He picked up the corn cob and pulled Li Lan back into the house.
