Chapter 211 Good Brother, Loyalty

"Brother Li, what I admire most is people like you, who are courageous, courageous, and capable of doing practical things. You are my role model. I offer you a toast."

At this time, Lao Wang was still Xiao Wang, who was about the same age as Li Lang, and treated Li Lang as a leading brother.

Li Lang patted him on the shoulder: "Xiao Wang, I like you."

Xiao Wang was excited: "I'm so happy to get Brother Li's approval. I'll have another drink, you can do whatever you want."

After drinking a glass, Lao Wang said, "I'll toast you again, and I hope you will take care of me in the future."

Li Lang laughed and said, "It's easy to say, easy to say. From now on, let's help each other."

Old Wang Xing smiled until his eyes narrowed into a line: "Thank you, Brother Li."

Li Lang: "We are all brothers, so don't be polite to me. We will work together when we have a chance in the future."

Lao Wang slapped his thigh hard and said, "Okay. That's it. Just because of what you said, brother Li, I have to have another drink."

After drinking a glass of wine, Lao Wang made a drink: "Brother Li, if there is any chance of getting rich in the future, don't forget me. We can make an agreement."

In order to build a good relationship with Li Lang, Old Wang also worked hard.

……

Many people came over to toast Li Lang.

One of them is a woman who looks close to 30 years old, exuding the charm of a mature woman.

She walked up to Li Lang and said, "Brother Li Lang, my name is Chen Jinghong. The fact that you opened a restaurant has affected me. I also opened a breakfast restaurant. My life is much better than before. I came here to offer you a special toast. "

Chen Jinghong was a cheerful person, she drank a glass of wine in one gulp.

Li Lang did it too.

He thought of the name "Chen Jinghong" in his heart, and looked at her beautiful face, feeling familiar.

I remembered.

In the small antique market that Broken Hou took Li Lang to, he had met Chen Jinghong once, but he didn't know her name at the time.

What made Li Lang feel familiar was not only that pretty face, but also her name.

Hey, it turned out to be her.

In the previous life in 2020, Chen Jinghong was a rich woman who ranked among the top 50 on the Hurun Rich List.

Li Lang is very interested in this family history.Because, her first pot of gold was earned by dumping antiques.

There must be a lot of good things in her hands, and she must find a chance to buy them, so as not to be thrown abroad by her, causing the loss of our precious cultural relics in China.

When Chen Jinghong toasted to Li Lang again, she lowered her posture and bowed her waist.

When Li Lang glanced over the neckline of her dress, he saw a piece of jade pendant, and his gaze stayed there for a while.

He felt like he had seen the jade pendant somewhere before.That should be half of Perry, and that pattern should be seen.

"That's right. On the little notebook that Broken Hou gave me more than a year ago, there is a pair of jade pendants drawn, one of which is the same as the one worn by Chen Jinghong."

That is to say, the jade pendant on Chen Jinghong may hide the secret of where Cixi's stolen treasure is located?

Li Lang's heartbeat accelerated, and his breathing became heavy.

Chen Jinghong noticed the change in his gaze and expression, and a blush rose instantly on her face.

In order to prevent Chen Jinghong from noticing that he was interested in her jade pendant, Li Lang immediately said, "Sister Chen, we have seen it before. Do you have any impression of the small antique market in the suburbs?"

"I don't remember. However, brother Li Lang, your name is like thunder."

"At the beginning, you spent [-] yuan to buy Lao Li's "Li Duanduan Tu"."

"That's Tang Bohu's authentic work. Every time we talk about it, we are really envious."

"Haha, it's all luck. Sister Chen, find a time, let's communicate?"

"Okay. Big brother, it's my honor that you think highly of me. If it's possible, I hope, Li Lang, you can show me how to do business. Compared with your restaurant, the business of my small shop is one day at a time. what."

"No problem. The two of us, we just need to help each other in the future."

"That's good. I'd like to thank you first, Li Lang."

……

At a gathering of self-employed people, Li Lang saw two bigwigs on the rich list.

And they all took the initiative to curry favor with Li Lang.

This made Li Lang feel very interesting.

The dishes Meng Xing cooked were beyond Li Lang's expectation.

Old Wang: "Li Lang, that apprentice of yours cooks really good dishes. It really is a wise teacher who produces an excellent apprentice."

Li Lang: "Fortunately, that guy has a really good cooking talent. I haven't taught her for long. I just found out today that her level is already so good."

Chen Jinghong, who was at the same table, was moved when she heard this.

She changed places with the person sitting next to Li Lang, sat next to Li Lang, and said:

"Li Lang, can you teach me how to make breakfast sometime? I sell breakfast, so I won't conflict with your business."

"It's easy to say. I'll go to your breakfast shop some other day. If I can help, I will definitely help."

"That's really great. Li Lang, it's no wonder you can achieve what you are today. With your attitude, it's unreasonable if you don't make a big deal."

Li Lang smiled and said nothing.You miss my cooking skills, and I miss your body... No, it's your antique.Then take what you need.

Old Wang: "Li Lang, tell me, how about we set up a guild of self-employed persons? With the guild, it will be convenient for everyone to connect in the future, and we can help each other and benefit each other."

Chen Jinghong also immediately echoed: "I think this idea is very good. I support it. Li Lang, what do you think?"

Li Lang: "I think it will work."

Lao Wang: "Okay. Li Lang, sister Chen and I will go to make arrangements, and you will be the chairman of everyone. Is that the deal?"

Li Lang: "Don't mind me. I don't have the time or ability to manage the guild."

Chen Jinghong straightened her face immediately, and said, "Whoever told me that you can't do it, I'm in a hurry. Li Lang, you are the only one who is qualified to be the president."

Lao Wang stood up and said loudly: "That's right. Listen everyone, if we set up a guild, who do you think is most qualified to be the president?"

"Li Lang." Everyone shouted in unison.

Snapped.

Old Wang slapped the table hard: "That's right. Li Lang, you are the one everyone expects. If you are not the president, no one dares to be."

"You said you don't have time, how simple is that, what's the matter, if you tell us to do it, it will be over?"

"If everyone approves of me, I am willing to be the vice president, and everything will be arranged by Li Lang."

Chen Jinghong: "I agree. Li Lang, don't push me away. The position of president belongs to you."

There are still many advantages to being the president of the first batch of self-employed guilds in Yanjing City.At the very least, these talents are the best resources.

At the feet of the emperor, what is there?There are many officials.

Don't talk about Lao Wang and Chen Jinghong, just talk about those present, maybe there are family members or relatives who are officials.These network resources can become a boost for future development.

Li Lang stood up, and Lang Sheng said: "Okay, since everyone thinks highly of me, Li Lang, I will do my part."

"it is good."

Everyone clapped and cheered.

Lao Wang and Chen Jinghong both laughed.

In their hearts, Li Lang was a big boss, and it was definitely a great thing to have a relationship with him.Around six in the afternoon, the spontaneous meeting of self-employed people ends.

The power of example is very powerful.

When everyone left, their expressions were obviously different from when they came.

Li Lang, the No.1 individual, agreed to be the president of the soon-to-be-established guild, which made them feel confident and relaxed.

Lao Wang, Chen Jinghong and others took over the specific affairs of organizing the guild, and Li Lang was also happy to relax.

Li Lang, who was a little drunk, came to the kitchen.

"Brother Li Lang, is my cooking okay?"

Meng Xing waved the spatula and looked at Li Lang proudly.

"Well, just barely. You have to study harder. If it's only at the current level, I don't feel relieved to hand over the kitchen to you."

Li Lang didn't want Meng Xing to get too carried away, so he still wanted to beat her.

Meng Xing's face immediately fell down: "But, the eldest sister, the second sister, and the jujube are all delicious dishes made by me."

"That's because they don't want to hurt your confidence. However, you have made progress. Study hard, and when I can trust you with the kitchen, I will give you a salary of 100 yuan."

When Meng Xing heard the 100 yuan, the face he had pulled just now relaxed, and he smirked and said, "Really? Brother Li Lang, just wait and see."

Next, Li Lang asked Meng Xing to cook the simple dishes, and he only cooked the difficult ones.

Seeing Meng Xing's comprehension and drive, Li Lang knew that he would be freed from the kitchen in a short time.

……

When it was close to eight o'clock in the evening, Cai Xiaoli came over with a middle-aged man carrying an old-fashioned briefcase.

The restaurant was about to close, and the tables in the wing rooms were all empty.

Li Lang brought the two of them here, and asked Meng Xing to cook some side dishes to go with the wine.

"Li Lang, this is Director Hu Guangzhi of Qunli Garment Factory. Director Hu, this is me...brother, Li Lang, who is also the owner of this restaurant."

Cai Xiaoli is making an introduction.

Factory Manager Hu said with a smile: "Li Lang, I read about your deeds in the newspaper. You are young and promising."

Cai Xiaoli: "Li Lang, you don't even know. If I hadn't said you were the one who came to see me, Director Hu wouldn't be willing to come."

Director Hu laughed "haha" twice, and did not refute, acquiescing to what Cai Xiaoli said.

"Director Hu, Xiaoli wants your factory to produce clothes as an OEM. Do you have any difficulties?"

"Brother Li, to tell you the truth, we have never OEM products for individuals. I don't know how the higher-ups will determine the nature of this kind of thing."

"Excuse me, if you make an OEM for Xiaoli, is it against the rules?"

"There is no precedent, so it's hard to say."

"What do you think of my restaurant?"

Factory Manager Hu didn't understand why Li Lang asked such a question, but he still said, "Your Gathering Friends restaurant is the hottest restaurant in Yanjing now, and it's hard to find one."

Li Lang smiled: "Before I opened this restaurant, no one dared to do self-employment. Now, you can see how many self-employed shops there are in Yanjing City. Look at this..."

Li Lang picked up a book at hand, opened it, and pointed to the date on it: "The guests who reserved a table have been queued for 40 days."

"People who come directly to eat have long queues every day."

"I'm not telling you this to brag. I just want to tell you that only those who dare to pioneer can become the first to eat crabs. Only then can they take the lead and become a leader in the industry."

"I just asked you if you violated the regulations. You didn't directly say that you violated the regulations, which proves that there is room for manipulation."

"Speaking of which you don't listen, the factory you are in charge of is about to close down. If the foundry does not violate the rules, what do you have to be afraid of?"

"Now that our country is reforming and opening up, there will be many good opportunities. It depends on whether you want to grasp it or not."

"As long as you are willing to cooperate with Xiaoli, I dare not say that you will be able to achieve success in the future. But I dare to say with confidence that your factory will be brought back to life in a month or two."

Director Hu was silent.

Li Lang could tell that he was moved, but he still had concerns.

Then add more chips.

Li Lang pulled out a stack of papers from a file bag on the table.

"Director Hu, what you are thinking about now is to do OEM for individuals. The quantity is too small to save your factory. However, I would like you to look at the clothes I designed first."

Li Lang took out a sheet from the stack of papers in his hand and handed it to Director Hu.

The system rewards Li Lang's master-level clothing design skills and proficient level painting skills, not just for bragging.

Director Hu looked at the colorful floral skirt drawn on the paper, his eyes were straightened.

In this era, regardless of men or women, most of the clothes are gray, blue, and green. Where has he seen such a beautiful design and such a colorful skirt?
Director Hu stared at the design drawing for a long time before he said in a daze, "You designed this?"

Li Lang smiled: "Yes. It's similar to this one, better than it, and there are many more."

He fanned the design blueprint in his hand and waved it.

Seeing the stack of design drawings in Li Lang's hand, Director Hu felt his heart beat faster and his blood pressure soar.

"As long as you agree to cooperate and sign an agreement. I can send you a few clothes design drawings, so that your factory can survive."

"However, the clothes made for Xiaoli must be exclusively supplied."

"I'm a villain first and then a gentleman. If you breach the contract, I won't talk about financial compensation. With so many design drawings in my hand, I will have no chance with your factory."

"Director Hu, whether to watch the factory you are in charge of close down or to work hard to make your official career go smoothly depends on your choice."

Director Hu drank a glass of wine.

Then another glass.

Another cup.

After drinking three cups in a row, his eyes brightened: "It's done."

“Happy working together!”

"Pleasant to work with."

Li Lang and Director Hu held hands tightly.

Li Lang was well prepared, so he took out the agreement directly and asked Director Hu to take it back.

Only Li Lang and Cai Xiaoli were left in the wing room.

Cai Xiaoli looked at Li Lang like a little girl with stars in her eyes: "Li Lang, why are you so good?"

Li Lang shrugged his shoulders, pretending to be a criminal: "No way, it's innate."

Cai Xiaoli gave him a nice look.

"Li Lang, didn't you say that flared pants are the secret weapon? Why don't you show it to Director Hu to increase his confidence?"

"Until I confirm that Director Hu is absolutely sincere, I will definitely not show him the drawing of the flared trousers. I will not send him other drawings first, and we must cooperate for a period of time before discussing."

The invincible bell-bottoms in the 80s were heavyweight weapons.Li Lang would never let others see it in advance, even if it was just a design drawing.
