Chapter 724: Heartthrob
Chapter 724 Heartthrob
For a company as big as Black Eagle, it spends hundreds of millions a year on liquor receptions, which is a huge sum. The bulk of it is liquor, and a box of Maotai costs several thousand. Domestic liquor culture is prevalent, and liquor is always used for entertainment, especially After Black Eagle developed government projects in the past five years, the cost of drinks has increased exponentially, and the cost is huge. Rong Li is in charge of finance, and he was shocked when he saw this expense.
It turns out that when Rong Li was abroad, the cost of drinks for social events would not be so high. Firstly, the drinking culture was not popular. Secondly, Black Eagle was mostly Party A, which reduced a large amount of expenses. Unexpectedly, domestic cost accounting, and finally What shocked Rong Li was actually the alcoholic beverages. In order to reduce costs, Rong Li made a special trip to Guizhou. The liquor town there has various brands of liquor. He found a winemaker from Maotai Distillery. , this winemaker opened a new liquor factory, and the formula and taste were very similar. Rong Li stayed there for a week, specializing in tasting various liquors, and found the liquor that tasted most similar to Maotai, and specially packaged it. It became a new brand and served as Black Eagle's hospitality wine. The taste is exactly the same as Moutai, and the price of a bottle is only 200.
After the cost of liquor has been reduced, Rong Li and Ji Xuan both have their own wineries abroad. The cost of red wine has become even lower. This year, they plan to reduce the cost of beer as well.
“So, for so many years, Black Hawk’s reception wine has always been Maotai?”
“That’s right, aren’t you?”
Jiang Junlin never cared about this, "I'll ask when I get back."
"After rectifying the wine area, we can save hundreds of millions a year." Ji Xuan said with a chuckle, "Rong Li said that the domestic wine culture has spoiled the partners. In fact, after changing the wine, the taste is almost the same, except for some very important The entertainment was basically replaced by wine supported by us.”
"This is a new idea." Jiang Junlin chuckled, holding his hand all the time amid the crowds of people, "Rong Li is very skillful in reducing costs, I have vaguely heard about it."
Ji Xun lowered his head and chuckled. His brother was the proud son of heaven. He must have paid less attention to the matter of firewood, rice, oil and salt. Cost accounting was more concerned with the project itself. In fact, many costs in the company were invisible. He and Lu Zhiyuan would not have heard Rong Li mention it. I know that entertaining wine costs so much.
The Oktoberfest was very lively. Ji Xuan took Jiang Junlin's family to taste it one by one. Jiang Junlin drank a lot of beer, but the alcohol content was not high and it was not intoxicating. It was a fresh experience.
A call came in midway. The Oktoberfest was too noisy. Jiang Junlin went out to answer the phone. Ji Xun sat at a fixed booth and waited for him. Jiang Junlin had just left for less than a minute when someone brought a bottle of beer. Ji Xun looked at it. A young man passed by, holding up a bottle of wine in greeting. Ji Xun raised his eyebrows. After a while, someone brought another beer as a sign of goodwill. Ji Xun received eight bottles of beer in five minutes, all of which were invited by men.
Jiang Junlin returned to the Oktoberfest after explaining the good things to others, and saw two men chatting with him in front of Ji Xun. There were seven or eight bottles of beer on the coffee table next to him. Jiang Junlin paused for a minute and narrowed his eyes. .
The live music at the Oktoberfest is loud. It is a festival of celebration and an occasion for fun. Ji Xuan, with white shirt and black hair, is clean and pure, and is very eye-catching in the crowd.
He has a stunning appearance.
Jiang Junlin came over. Ji You smiled and pointed at Jiang Junlin. He didn't know what he said. The men around him glanced at Jiang Junlin and walked away silently. In the colorful carnival, Ji You smiled like a flower and waited for him to leave. She was close and naturally hooked his hand.
“The loot is pretty good.” Jiang Junlin looked at the beer on the table.
In the years before his relationship with Ji Xun was exposed, he heard Ji Xun's gossip in the entertainment bureau. Ji Xun was young and the only one among the Big Three of the Black Hawks who came out to socialize. He had no background or foundation, and many people took him for granted. He is the man raised by Lu Zhiyuan. His language is frivolous and his attitude is frivolous. He is always offended. There are many men in the financial world who like him. Ji Xun's appearance attracts people to covet him. Jiang Junlin has heard about Ji Xun's situation. Man Everyone rushes to show their courtesy. Some people have given him sports cars, jewelry, and watches. After drinking for three times, some people will blatantly give him a room card and invite him to have sex.
He knew that Ji Xun was recruiting many people without asking.
When they wandered around Haicheng, there were always people who were courteous to them. Ji Xun's charm increased with age and never diminished.
But Ji Xun's eyes always stayed by his side.
Jiang Junlin thought, what a lucky man he is.
"Whatever do you want to drink, I'll treat you to it." Ji Xuan blinked. Jiang Junlin's strong sexual tension was actually more attractive to men, but with the black-faced **** Zhang Qiang beside him, no one dared to provoke him.
“What did those people say?”
Ji Xun was startled. Jiang Junlin never seemed to care about what others said to him. Ji Xun said with a smile, "They said that after the Oktoberfest, there will be a second half. They invited me to go out to sea and have a yacht party."
This is a coastal city with rich nightlife.
“Want to go?” Jiang Junlin raised his hand and put it on his forehead. He didn’t have a fever, and the temperature didn’t drop sharply at night, so going to sea was fine.
Ji Xuan nodded, "Think!"
Jiang Junlin turned to Zhang Qiang to make arrangements. Ji Xun chuckled and asked, "Did you buy a yacht here?"
“There are two.” Jiang Junlin said with a chuckle, “Grandpa and grandma like to come to Haicheng for vacation. They always come to stay for a while in winter, and they also like to go to sea.”
The two of them continued to visit the beer festival. City A.
The first day of the new year was spent in New Year greetings. Gu Ci went with the elders of the Jiang family to pay New Year greetings and visit relatives. In the afternoon, she brought Gu Ziyu to the Lu family, Lu Ze, and Lu Zhiyuan to have dinner together.
Lu Ze liked Gu Ziyu and took out his treasured tea for Gu Ziyu to taste.
Lu Zhiyuan said calmly, "The old man is really partial. I only get a few taels of tea a year. I can't even drink a cup of it, but I am willing to give it to Ziyu."
“Ziyu called your father, did he hear him and didn’t he ask you?”
Gu Ci took him for a walk under the Phoenix tree.
The Lu family mansion is a manor. It is very large. There is also a lake on the right. Lu Ze transplanted a row of phoenix trees the year before last. It will be particularly beautiful when the phoenix trees bloom.
"Sooner or later, I have to confess. He didn't ask, so just ignore him." Lu Zhiyuan wanted to take Gu Ci on vacation, which was a rare occasion for the Chinese New Year, but Gu Ci had to go back to the hospital for duty after dinner.
Gu Ci said, "Ziyu is clamoring to go to Haicheng, why don't you take him to Haicheng."
“Ji Huan and Jiang Junlin are in Haicheng, what should we do?”
"Haicheng is so big, we don't necessarily bump into each other." Gu Ci chuckled and said, "Wait until next year, I will accompany you and Ziyu on vacation. This year is really not possible and I can't get away."
“Isn’t Nancheng Hospital a top hospital? You can’t even take a few days off?”
"It's my duty." Gu Ci chuckled. It was not that she couldn't ask for leave, but she didn't want to. The six months of hospitalization were the six months of her fastest growth. She thought that she was like a sponge constantly absorbing nutrients, and she couldn't bear to leave the soil where she was cultivated. I can't help but meet Lu Zhiyuan and Gu Ziyu.
Lu Zhiyuan didn't stop her from realizing her dream, and she never mentioned the vacation again. Gu Ci said, "After we get married, should we live around the world or go back to the big house?"
He is used to the world, but Gu Ci has a special status and it is not suitable to live in the world.
“Let’s go back to the big house.”
Lu Ze also vaguely mentioned letting Lu Zhiyuan live in the mansion. Lu Ze was still very measured. When Lu Shijie was alive, he and Lu Shixiu did not live in the mansion often. They only came as guests occasionally. He was partial to Lu Zhiyuan and knew that Lu Zhiyuan did not like outsiders living in the mansion. The three mothers and their sons had expressed and hinted countless times, but Lu Ze had never even thought about it. He knew very well that if the three mothers and their sons were allowed to live there, it would be even less likely that Lu Zhiyuan would come back.
This is the ancestral mansion of the Lu family. Lu Ze lives alone on weekdays and is very lonely. He has long wanted Lu Zhiyuan to come back and live together, so it is not out of the blue to suggest it when he is getting married.
Gu Ci is soft-hearted and feels guilty for Lu Ze, so naturally she will not object.
“If you feel restricted, we can discuss it again.” Lu Zhiyuan said.
“I actually like the mansion very much, and I also like this phoenix tree. I often came to see you when I was a child, and we even climbed it together.” Gu Ci didn’t force herself at all, “I even climbed the tree to dig out bird eggs.”
“There are still bird eggs on the trees now.”
"Really?" Gu Ci chuckled, looking up at the tall phoenix tree, "I want to go up and have a look."
Lu Zhiyuan curled his lips, held her with one hand, and teleported to the tree.
Gu Ci, “…”
Indoors, Gu Ziyu tasted tea. The tea soup was clear and the fragrance floated far away. He learned tea tasting and making tea from Chen Liangdong and worked hard, so there was no generation gap at all when talking about tea with Lu Ze.
Lu Ze, however, felt itchy and couldn't hold it back, "Ziyu, you accepted Jiang Junlin as your father, why do you keep calling Lu Zhiyuan daddy?"
