Chapter 119 Shield
In the middle of this year, the first bar appeared on Sanlitun North Street. Then, in a few months, seven or eight bars opened one after another. Because it is adjacent to the embassy area, most of the guests are foreigners and the bar business is quite good.
Lu Zheng felt that it seemed that the rapid development of Wushan also affected the nearby capital. In my memory, Sanlitun seemed to have not been open so quickly.
Lu Zheng chose a bar called "Yuzhifang" and called Zhou Tao to ask Zhou Tao to come out and take a seat.
A few days ago, Zhou Tao was appointed as deputy director of the Beijing Construction Committee.
The bar environment is good, the candlelight stand reflects starlight, and the saxophone brings a soothing and romantic atmosphere. Drinking and talking in this environment is a great joy in life.
The name Yuzhifang Lu Zheng thinks it should come from an entertainment and leisure area in Hong Kong, but this entertainment area is under development and can be said to be unknown. I wonder how the boss thought of using Yuzhifang as the name of his bar.
Last year, the US stock market crash affected the world. The Hong Kong stock market experienced the darkest period in history. Not only did the stock market plummet, but the property market also plummeted. In addition, the Sino-UK negotiations have been established, and Hong Kong's return has become a foregone conclusion, which has caused many investors to lose confidence in Hong Kong and withdraw their investments one after another.
Lu Zheng's fund took the opportunity to acquire a company that held the land. The land in Yuzhifang was purchased by its fund at an extremely low price and began to plan to build an entertainment and leisure area. Yuzhifang is the first bar opened in this area a few months ago, and it is now very prosperous.
But unexpectedly, Beijing also opened a Yuzhifang. When Lu Zheng saw the name of the bar, he felt friendly and walked in.
After calling Zhou Tao, he ordered a glass of juice. The handsome bartender was surprised that he had heard it wrong, but Lu Zheng ignored the eyes of others and found the table beside the window, sat down and waited quietly.
Zhou Tao’s family is nearby, so Lu Zheng came to Sanlitun.
Half an hour later, a Warsaw sedan stopped outside the bar. Zhou Tao and a middle-aged man wearing a black tweed coat got out of the car and hurried in.
Lu Zheng smiled in his heart. Zhou Tao always showed his special relationship with his family in front of others. He met him, but he walked with Director Kang of the Construction Committee.
In fact, before he came to Wushan, Zhou Tao should be worried about losing his father's trust because of some things. Now he has ended his political career in Wushan in a decent manner. At this time, perhaps he needs to prove something to others.
However, Director Kang and Zhou Tao both looked very serious, and Lu Zheng sighed in his heart. Although what happened recently did not affect the level of Zhou Tao or Director Kang for the time being, they should have received more or less wind and each had their own ideas.
Seeing Lu Zheng standing up with a smile, Director Kang and Zhou Tao only smiled on their faces, and walked over to shake hands with Lu Zheng.
"Zhengzi, there is a meeting in the city. I will sit for a while and I have to leave." Zhou Tao said, sighing and shook his head, "I have been in war recently, so I'm busy."
Lu Zheng laughed and said, "Okay, it's nothing, I just want to sit with you. Director Kang, we haven't seen each other for a year."
Director Kang smiled and said, "Are you very busy recently? You are in charge of the government and have considered many problems. Unlike my old brother, I have been here all my life and have no future."
Lu Zheng smiled and said, "The capital is the facade of our country. Brother Kang, you are a plastic surgeon. If you want to leave, Secretary Gong will not let you go."
Zhou Tao and Director Kang both laughed.
The three of them sat down and chatted casually about Wushan and Beijing. No one mentioned it. They were talking about family matters and children's lovers. Director Kang asked with a smile: "Zhengzi has no partner yet, right?"
Lu Zheng said: "It seems that there are arrangements at home."
After hearing what Lu Zheng said, Director Kang will not talk about this topic anymore.
After chatting for a while, Zhou Tao and Director Kang stood up and said goodbye. It seems that the capital city is uneasy recently, and it is inevitable to have a meeting.
Thinking of this in Beijing, Lu Zheng shook his head, drank the drink in the cup in one breath, and got up to check out the bill.
When Han Jing returned home, she was packing her brand new suitcase and Lu Zhengqi said, "Mom, are you going out?"
"I'm going to clean up for you. Are you not going to the United States the day after tomorrow? You are really good, and you don't even have one suitcase. I just bought it for you." Han Jing said, putting two red paper boxes into the suitcase and said, "I bought a set of clothes for Jiajia, you took it for her, and there are several boxes of Tianjin marijuana flowers. Jiajia liked to eat this when she was a child.
It happened that Lu Jiaju came out of the bathroom and heard it, saying, "Mom, Jiajia loved to eat when she was a child, but now she doesn't like to eat now. When she was a child, she played games of fighting American devils with toy pistols every day. Now she is going to marry American devils..." As she said that, she saw Han Jing looking at her stern eyes, and shut up embarrassedly.
Lu Zheng heard that the elder and second sisters often fought since childhood, and even quarreled once when they were seventeen or eighteen years old. Although they were real sisters, their relationship was always tense.
"By the way, I'll get you some money. You can't get the payment when you go to the United States this time. Let's spend money by yourself and bring some money. There's just a little US dollars at home." Han Jing said, and then he was about to go to the bedroom to collect it. Lu Zheng smiled and said, "Mom, no need, I still have money."
This time, Lu Zheng was going to the United States with a pseudonym's private passport, mainly because he wanted to keep a low profile so that he would not be targeted by American agents. He had to be careful of being followed when meeting his second sister.
What's more, when I went to the United States this time, I mainly looked at the progress of the lawsuit and also positively learned about the situation of the New York law firm I hired. If I travel as a government official, it may have a negative impact on the lawsuit.
"Zhengzi, tell me the truth. Someone said that you are doing business. Is it true?" Han Jing turned around and looked at Lu Zheng very seriously.
Lu Zheng said vaguely: "It's all because Iris and Changming are involved and have a name." He has done a good job in the overseas fund firewall. In addition, the registration place is in the tax avoidance area. After searching, he is afraid that he will be confused. However, many people will definitely check the Beidou Star Group that suddenly emerges in China. It is impossible to find out what is below, but at the level of my parents, it is still easy to find out that he is a major shareholder.
If it is really my own shares, then it goes without saying that my mother would definitely ask me to withdraw the shares quickly, so at this time, she could only take out the white gauze bag as a shield.
Sure enough, my mother's face cleared a little and said, "It's this kid. I heard that she is learning to do business now. It's more convenient to do business in China by placing your name, right? Well, foreign capital is not allowed to come in real estate, but you are still playing the edge. Just talk to her earlier and ask her to become a Chinese nationality, and this problem will no longer exist."
Lu Zheng coughed and said, "Okay, I'll tell her. Mom, don't worry, I'm not an official, nor is it a use of power for personal gain..."
Lu Jiaju said, "That's right, this is changing to earn foreign exchange." She didn't know what was going on. She heard that her brother's engagement partner paid for business in China, so she naturally followed the conversation and helped her brother talk about it.
Han Jing glared at her and said, "I won't go back to my home, are you consuming here?"
Lu Jiaju pretended not to hear it, turned around and walked towards the bedroom, saying, "Zhengzi, come and chat with me later.
Han Jing said helplessly: "One like this, two like this, and it's not worry-free."
Lu Zheng laughed and said, "I'm just worried, right, mom."
