Movie: Get Alpha Dog at the start

Chapter 777 Abao: Has the Yellow River Road changed?
The reason why Golden Phoenix was able to catch up and become the most popular restaurant in the entire Huanghe Road is that, in addition to the proprietress's social skills, the internal hardware is naturally first-class.

This was Qin Hao's first time to visit Golden Phoenix. As soon as he stepped into the lobby, he saw a huge chandelier inlaid with gorgeous crystals, hanging from the ceiling on the third floor and extending all the way down to the lobby on the first floor. The crystal chandelier emitted a dazzling light, illuminating the entire lobby like daylight.

If we judge it from the perspective of the aesthetics of 20 years later, this place would undoubtedly seem a bit vulgar, but in 1989, this magnificent decoration style was popular. People who came to Huanghe Road to eat were not eating for food, but for business and opportunity.

Only when you make enough show and give enough face can business be negotiated easily.

"Oh, I was wondering why there was a magpie calling outside my window early this morning. It turns out it knew that a distinguished guest would be visiting us today." A woman in her thirties, wearing a purple cheongsam, graceful and charming, walked up to Qin Hao with graceful steps.

Tao Tao was obviously stunned by the dress of Golden Phoenix. She was stunned for a while before introducing her to Qin Hao: "Ahao, this is the proprietress of Golden Phoenix. She is famous for her beauty and sweet voice."

As the saying goes, don't hit someone who smiles at you. Qin Hao said politely to Jin Fenghuang, "I've heard of the boss lady's name a long time ago. Nice to meet you."

The smile on Jin Fenghuang's face froze. For a proprietress to be able to open a restaurant on Huanghe Road, being able to read people's expressions is a basic skill. Although Qin Hao's words were polite, she could feel that the other party was intentionally keeping a distance.

"Boss Qin is really good at joking. I have admired you for a long time. I'll have to ask you to take care of my business in the future."

Qin Hao just smiled politely and didn't continue speaking.

Just when Jin Fenghuang was still a little unwilling and wanted to continue the conversation, many bosses around had already gathered around.

"Mr. Qin, I'm from Ninghai Textile Factory. The socks we produce are of good quality and cheap. Please..."

"Boss Qin, I'm from Wenzhou Jiangnan Leather Shoes Factory"

"Hey, don't push behind me."

Seeing more and more people gathered around, Qin Hao bowed to them and said, "Everyone, I am here to drink and have fun with my brothers today. I will only talk about love and not business. If you are looking for business cooperation, as long as the product quality is good and the style is novel and can win the favor of customers, the door of the investment promotion department of Vientiane Plaza is always open to you."

After saying that, he walked towards the second floor first. Seeing this, Tao Tao hurriedly followed.

In the largest private room on the top floor, Tao Tao poured Qin Hao a cup of tea in a flattering manner: "The food here at Golden Phoenix is ​​pretty good, right, Madam Boss?"

Golden Phoenix smiled charmingly: "Yes, Mr. Qin, I can't say anything else, but our salt and pepper king cobra is the best in the whole Huanghe Road."

Qin Hao did not respond. He glanced at his watch, then picked up his mobile phone and dialed a number. However, he failed to get through after several attempts. The mobile phone signal is really bad these days. This broken brick costs 20,000 or 30,000 yuan each in the mainland, and you have to use connections to buy it. To be honest, if it weren't for the inconvenience of going out without a mobile phone, Qin Hao would have no interest in this thing at all.

After finally getting through, I heard a chaotic sound from the other end of the line.

"I'm at the Golden Phoenix. Which box are you in? I'll come up to find you."

Qin Hao looked at the golden phoenix.

"A house full of gold and jade."

"It's on the top floor, full of gold and jade. Just come up."

In the hall, just as Bao hung up the phone, Manager Pan came up from the stairs and said, "Boss Bao, you have an appointment with Boss Qin and Boss Tao, right? Please follow me."

When the representatives of the manufacturers in the hall heard that Abao had an appointment with Qin Hao, they immediately surrounded him, offering him cigarettes and business cards.

"Boss Bao, this is my business card. You must need a factory to do foreign trade. Just say a word and all the production capacity of our factory will be left to you."

"Boss Bao, do you still remember me? The sweater order you placed last time was made by our factory. You know the quality of our factory. There is no problem with exporting it. Could you please help me put in a few good words in front of Boss Qin?"

Faced with this passionate scene, A Bao was dumbfounded. It was only when Manager Pan pulled him that he came to his senses and quickly followed them upstairs.

When they reached the second floor, Abao asked in confusion, "What happened to these people?"

Manager Pan asked curiously, "Isn't Mr. Bao in Shanghai recently?"

"Yes, I was out of town on a foreign trade order, and I went to Anhui to collect treasury bonds for a while. Why do I feel like the Yellow River Road has changed so much after I came back?"

"If Mr. Bao goes to Nanjing Road one day, he will know why."

As they were talking, the two of them had already arrived at the door of the Jin Yu Man Tang box.

"Boss Bao, please."

The awkward atmosphere in the box was instantly broken by Abao's arrival. Taotao walked up to Abao and gave him a bear hug.

"You're late again, I'll have to punish you with a drink later."

As Po took off his coat, he recounted what happened downstairs.

Tao Tao patted his shoulder, walked behind Qin Hao, and said jokingly: "You are right, the situation on Huanghe Road has indeed changed."

"Do you know what happened in the month since you left Shanghai? Hulian Department Store is no longer effective. Now the one leading the fashion in Shanghai is Ahao's MixC!"

A Bao subconsciously looked at Jin Fenghuang and Manager Pan on the side. Based on his understanding of Tao Tao, what this guy said was often a bit unrealistic. However, judging from the expressions of Jin Fenghuang and Manager Pan, Tao Tao did not seem to lie this time.

Only then did A Bao believe that Vientiane Plaza was indeed popular, and it must be more than just ordinary popularity, otherwise those manufacturers’ representatives in the hall would not be so enthusiastic towards him.

"Ahao, how did you do it?" Abao became interested. Although he had always been confident in Qin Hao and knew that MixC would definitely be popular, it took only one month for it to replace Hulian Department Store and become the fashion trendsetter of the entire Shanghai. Isn't this too fast?
Qin Hao did not answer directly, but motioned for A Bao to sit down first, then took out the menu: "See if there is anything you want to eat, order first, and then talk while you eat."

Ah Bao understood and took the menu, added two local dishes, and said to Golden Phoenix, "Boss, please help us hurry up with the food. We just came back from another trip and are very hungry."

Although Jin Fenghuang was unwilling, she had no choice but to leave the box with Manager Pan.

"Didn't we always have dinner parties on Huling Road before? Why did we change to Huanghe Road today?" A Bao asked casually.

Qin Hao glared at Tao Tao unhappily and said, "You'll have to ask our boss Tao about this."

Tao Tao was so embarrassed that he almost buried his face under the table.

A Bao also grew up with Tao Tao, and understood immediately: "He must be unable to resist the boss lady's delicate request."

"Taotao, I have to warn you, you have a family now"

Tao Tao retorted guiltily: "Hey, please stop talking nonsense, okay? I swear to God, if I do anything to let Fang Mei down, I will be hit by a car when I go out."

Ah Bao quickly stopped him: "I was just saying it casually. Look at you, you even had to swear and vow. I'm not your sister Fang. If you want to show your loyalty, go home and do it."

Fortunately, at this time, the waiter came in to serve the dishes. Taotao quickly took the opportunity to force Abao to drink a penalty drink and changed the subject.

Having worked in foreign trade for a year, I wouldn’t say much about A Bao, but he’s definitely good at drinking. Nowadays, most business deals are done over the wine table.

"Mr. Qin, Mr. Bao, Mr. Tao, please enjoy your meal." Manager Pan was also very tactful and left after serving the dishes.

A Bao ate a few bites of food to fill his stomach, then said to Qin Hao, "Hey, what happened during the month I was away? I'd like to tell you about it."

Before Qin Hao opened his mouth, Tao Tao began to vividly describe the grand occasion when the Vientiane Plaza opened.

A Bao listened very carefully. Although he knew that what Tao Tao said was definitely exaggerated, it was still a perspective to understand the incident.

When A Bao heard that Qin Hao had invited Chow Yun-fat, Zhao Yazhi and others to attend the opening ceremony, his eyes lit up.

"Ah Hao, this opening ceremony was beautifully organized. I learned another trick from you."

As he said this, he toasted Qin Hao with a glass of wine.

Then A Bao asked Tao Tao to stop talking and listen carefully to Qin Hao's version.

The layman watches the excitement while the expert watches the doorway. Now, under the guidance of his uncle, Abao has already got on the right track in doing business. Unlike Taotao who only knew that Qin Hao invited celebrities to boost his business, he can learn from Qin Hao's story how to make overall plans and how to promote it.

After listening to Qin Hao's account of the entire process, A Bao couldn't help but sigh: "Hu Lian Department Store's loss was not unfair."

Tao Tao had no ambition or interest in doing business, and he lost interest in listening. When Qin Hao finally finished speaking, he quickly pulled the two of them to drink together.

After that, Qin Hao and the other two didn't talk about business anymore. They drank and reminisced about the past. During this time, Jin Fenghuang came again, but this time even Tao Tao didn't pay attention to her, so she could only leave in frustration.

Just when Abao and Taotao had almost finished drinking and Qin Hao was about to pay the bill and send them home, the door of the box was kicked open.

At first Qin Hao thought someone was here to cause trouble, but it turned out to be a young girl who broke in.

Still with that eye-catching big wave and still with her hands on her hips, Wang Mingzhu shouted at A-bao: "How can you still be in the mood to drink here? Something big has happened, don't you know?"

A Bao was obviously drunk. He stared at Wang Mingzhu for a long time before he recognized her. He waved at her and invited her to sit down and have dinner with him.

"How much did he drink?" Wang Mingzhu asked Qin Hao, the only person still sober in the box.

Qin Hao spread his hands: "It's just a pound of white wine."

Wang Mingzhu walked up to Abao in a bad mood and slapped him on the shoulder: "Wake up! There was a problem with the order from Xiao Ningbo last time. The Japanese customer wanted to return the goods. We are in a hurry, and you still have the mood to drink here."

After being slapped by her, Abao slipped directly from the table to the ground.

"Okay, he is so drunk that we can't handle it even if he wakes up. Let him rest for a night and talk about it tomorrow." Qin Hao stepped forward and helped A Bao up.

Wang Mingzhu stamped her feet anxiously: "No, the Japanese customers found broken needles in the clothes we exported. They want an immediate reply, otherwise they will return all the goods and we will bear all the losses!"

"That's an order worth nearly 600 million yen!"

Qin Hao couldn't help but frowned when he heard this. After the Plaza Accord, the Japanese yen began to appreciate rapidly. By 1989, the purchasing power of the Japanese yen was already quite amazing. million Japanese yen was equivalent to million US dollars, which was indeed not a small amount.

"It's night time in Japan too. Are you sure they must give a reply tonight?" Qin Hao asked.

Wang Mingzhu was so anxious that she turned around and around: "This is what the translated document said."

“Is the original Japanese version available?”

"Yes, what do you want to do?"

Qin Hao stretched out his hand: "It just so happens that I know a little Japanese."

Wang Mingzhu looked at Qin Hao with a vigilant look on her face: "This is a document from our Foreign Trade Corporation. It cannot be shown to outsiders."

"Then I can't help you." Qin Hao simply spread his hands, looking helpless.

Wang Mingzhu tried to take pictures of Abao again, but maybe because he was too tired recently and had drunk a lot of wine, she couldn't wake him up no matter how hard she tried.

Seeing this, after hesitating for a moment, Wang Mingzhu took out a document from her briefcase and handed it to Qin Hao, and reminded him: "After you read it, you can't disclose it to others, otherwise we will be sued if the Japanese customers find out."

Qin Hao ignored him and just read the fax sent from Japan.

After just a glance, Qin Hao returned the document to Wang Mingzhu.

"Okay, stop bothering Abao. Sugimoto Corporation has already decided to return the goods."

"Ah? How could this happen? Didn't you ask us to give you an answer?" Wang Mingzhu became even more panicked when she heard this.

Qin Hao shook his head. "Japan's requirements for textile imports are based on those of Europe and the United States. Finding broken needles in a product is a serious problem. If such a product is sold to a customer and the customer is scratched, it will be a serious blow to the reputation of their company. They will not accept explanations such as carelessness."

"Is there no room for maneuver in this matter?" Wang Mingzhu looked like she was about to cry at any time.

Qin Hao couldn't help but laugh when he saw this.

"Do you have any sympathy at all? What's so funny? Haven't you seen a girl cry?" Wang Mingzhu glared at Qin Hao angrily. Not to mention her angry and tearful look, coupled with her big wavy hair, it was really funny.

"Okay, I won't laugh anymore. I promise."

Seeing that Wang Mingzhu was about to get angry, Qin Hao stopped.

"There is room for maneuver, right?"

Wang Mingzhu looked at Qin Hao eagerly: "Do you have a solution?"

"Of course there is a way, but it's too late now. Let's do it tomorrow. Tomorrow you and Abao come to Vientiane Plaza to find me. Then you'll know."

Wang Mingzhu took off her glasses, wiped her tears, and looked pitiful: "Can't this be solved now? I won't be able to sleep at night."

"At this point, even if I ask for help, I still have to consider whether the person is drinking or asleep, right?"

Qin Hao waved to Wang Mingzhu and said, "Help me get these two guys into the car."

"Oh." Wang Mingzhu reluctantly stepped forward and lifted up one of Abao's arms.

After "overcoming all obstacles" and collecting a stack of business cards, Qin Hao and Wang Mingzhu, with the help of several Golden Phoenix waiters, stuffed Abao and Taotao into the back seat.

"Come on, I'll take you back."

Qin Hao first asked the driver Xiao Li to take Abao and Taotao to his home, and then called another taxi.

Wang Mingzhu hesitated: "Don't bother, I can go back by myself."

"The public security in Shanghai has been bad recently. Some robbers specifically target young and pretty girls like you."

"Don't scare me. I practiced martial arts in the Children's Palace when I was a kid. I'm not afraid."

Wang Mingzhu said this, but finally she opened the car door obediently.
