Patriarch's leisurely daily life

Chapter 184 The European Manor
The old man surnamed Zhou is always a very talkative person, at least neither Guo Shuyu nor Zhou Tong felt bored. When talking to Guo Shuyu, he talked about Guo Ji’s porcelain. After Zhou Tong became interested in the development history of his own company, he began to explain his experience after leaving Jinling, which is actually the experience of most Chinese businessmen.

He came to Europe in the 80s, but he definitely did not come here as a boss at that time. He was just a stowaway at the beginning. Bring Chinatown.

The old Chinese doctor not only saved his life, but also arranged a job for him, selling shoes in a shoe store. The boss surnamed Zhou is a hardworking person in his bones (if not, the old Chinese doctor would not try his best to help him), three Over the years, he saved a sum of money, and then opened a small shop by himself.

However, the business was not very good at the beginning, and it was a clean loss, but they have the resilience of the southerners in business, and they are not afraid of failure. After summarizing their learning experience, they started their business for the second time. Of course, they also have the help of old Chinese medicine practitioners.

The old Chinese doctor has only one daughter, and she admired him very much. In addition, the boss surnamed Zhou lived in the old Chinese doctor's house every day at the beginning. The two got along for a long time, and they naturally got together.

The old Chinese doctor's daughter graduated from a prestigious university, and she is also an excellent person, but perhaps under the influence of the old Chinese doctor, although she lives in France, she doesn't like French men, but chooses a poor and white boss named Zhou.

With the full support of the old Chinese medicine practitioners, the snack food wholesale company was opened soon, and until now, although the business is not very big, it still has an annual income of 500 million, pay attention to the euro.

In a Chinese restaurant, Zhou Tong couldn't help asking, "Why didn't you see my sister-in-law?"

The boss surnamed Zhou coughed in embarrassment. At this time, Hao Hongwei laughed, as if he didn’t mind the face of his old friend at all, and said directly: "Sister-in-law will definitely not be by his side. This person is easy to make mistakes when he is rich, and sister-in-law is another Seriously, he is lucky not to get divorced."

Women seem to be very sensitive to this aspect. Zhou Tong, who had a good impression of the boss surnamed Zhou, suddenly looked a little more distant, and even warned Guo Shuyu not to deal with this kind of person.

Guo Shuyu was naturally guilty, but Zhou Tong just glared at Guo Shuyu, and then he focused all his attention on Hao Hongwei, because Hao Hongwei talked about the old Chinese doctor's attitude towards this matter.

"As long as a man is capable, it's okay to have three wives and four concubines. And although Xiao Zhou has a woman outside, he didn't do anything to abandon his wife. Women should learn to turn a blind eye. "

After finishing speaking, Hao Hongwei looked at the stunned Zhou Tong and said, "Don't look at me, I can assure you that I am not talking nonsense. I was by my side when the old gentleman said these words."

"In fact, I met Lao Zhou because of the old man. I also came to France to buy things at an auction house that year, and then I fell ill. I went to many hospitals in Paris, but they couldn't see it. All kinds of infusions I almost died in the hospital, but fortunately, someone recommended the old man, and then a set of acupuncture directly saved me."

If you switch to other people, you will definitely ask that acupuncture is so magical?However, Zhou Tong is also someone who has seen the world in Guojiazhuang. If it is amazing, those Chinese medicine practitioners in the family are really powerful.

Especially after the big leaders of the province came to Guojiazhuang, now the big leaders come here once a year for recuperation. When the news spread, many friends of the big leaders and old comrades-in-arms of their fathers also invited the Chinese medicine practitioners in the family to see a doctor or come in person .

Although their identities are different, they are indeed respectful, and those who can come must come by themselves, unless they can't come at all, they will invite the Chinese medicine practitioners in the clan to go.

Guo Ji's development is so smooth, and it is inseparable from the support of these leaders. Although they will not take the initiative to help you do anything, if someone makes a small trip, they will definitely not do it.

Of course, this is also inseparable from the current situation. Many years ago, many second-generation and other second-generation people jumped out to mess with you. As the saying goes, little ghosts are difficult to deal with.If you don't look for it, all the messy things will come out. Although it won't affect the development of the company, it's really disgusting.

It's really inconvenient for a woman to be at the table, and there's no way to say a lot of things, but the young couple is here for their honeymoon, so we can't let one of them leave!
In order to prevent Guo Shuyu from having a hard time in the future, Hao Hongwei took the initiative to change the subject and talked about tomorrow's auction. From Western oil paintings to some African and American cultural relics, there are about 120 kinds of miscellaneous things.

Guo Shuyu and the others wanted to participate on a whim, so they didn't have the materials in hand. Hao Hongwei was a professional, so although the auction hadn't started yet, all relevant things had already been made into his hands.

More than 120 items, at least 30 of which are fake.

"Actually, it can't be said to be fake, it can only be said to be controversial, because I only know that these things are owned by the owner, and they didn't come to the auction. As for whose is fake, it is estimated that they will be put together Just compare."

"I mainly want to say that these things are controversial, and we will not shoot if we can."

"Besides the tripod and copybook I recommended that day, I think there is an oil painting that you can also pay attention to. It is a portrait of an earl in the Middle Ages."

"Now the descendants of the earl are very famous in the British education circle. If you can buy this painting and give it to him, I think it will be of great help to you in the future to develop the education industry. Apart from other things, at least He can help a lot in communication between schools."

"Since he is a descendant of the Earl and he is also a celebrity in the education field, why doesn't he buy it himself?"

Hearing Guo Shuyu's words, Hao Hongwei laughed and said, "The answer is obvious! He has no money."

"The Count has no money?"

"Don't talk about earls, there are many dukes who don't have money. Although there are still nobles in Britain, most of the nobles only have a title left. Some of them may have manors, but having a manor does not mean that he is rich. Money, maybe he still owes the bank hundreds of millions."

"The descendant of the earl I'm talking about is a very influential educator in the UK. He spends a lot of money every year just to maintain his manor. How can he have money to buy portraits of his ancestors?"

Seeing Zhou Tong's interest in the manor, Guo Shuyu thought: "Does the manor need a lot of money?"

Hao Hongwei glanced at Guo Shuyu in surprise, then at Zhou Tong, and instantly understood Guo Shuyu's thoughts: "It takes a lot of money for him, but it's nothing for you. I don't know the exact amount, but If you think about it, it’s only a few hundred thousand euros a year! It’s equivalent to 600 million in China.”

At this time, the boss surnamed Zhou couldn't help but said: "If you are interested, Mr. Guo, I know that a manor will be sold soon. Although the price is a bit expensive, the location and historical heritage will definitely satisfy you."

"Historical heritage?"

Seeing that Guo Shuyu didn't quite understand this, the boss surnamed Zhou explained: "The value of the manor is not only the value of the building itself, but also the people who lived here, especially some royal manors, the price is generally more expensive."

"Because maybe you'll find some surprises in the manor."

After hearing the boss surnamed Zhou, Hao Hongwei added: "Hundreds of years of inheritance, and the people who have lived there are all famous people. The cultural heritage is there, and some children like to hide things when they are young. Maybe you will find a place inadvertently. The secret compartment, and then it is full of gold coins."

But after finishing talking, Hao Hongwei couldn't help laughing: "Of course these are all speculations used by real estate agents, but I have to say that there is indeed such a possibility, although both the manor owner and the agent have already searched the property before selling the house. More than once."

"If some manors you see have been renovated, don't be happy, because this means that the manor no longer has those hidden surprises."

Zhou Tong didn't listen to what was said later, but Guo Shuyu was full of anticipation. Obviously, she hoped to visit the manor.

"Brother Zhou, do you have time later?"

When Guo Shuyu opened his mouth, the boss surnamed Zhou naturally nodded happily: "Of course, I will contact the agency right now and let him go there earlier."

Seeing the active boss surnamed Zhou, Guo Shuyu couldn't help asking Hao Hongwei: "Brother Zhou is not a house seller, is he?"

"..." Boss Zhou

After the boss surnamed Zhou left and went to the side to make a phone call, Guo Shuyu quietly said to Hao Hongwei: "What's the situation with him? You know, I don't care about Guo Ji's affairs, and I can't help much."

This is naturally an excuse, and Hao Hongwei also knows this, but it really has nothing to do with him introducing the two of them today.

"It's not a matter of cooperation. Lao Zhou is in a little trouble and wants to borrow your name."

"My name?" Guo Shuyu didn't understand what Hao Hongwei meant.

Hao Hongwei was also a little surprised. He glanced at the people of the Guo clan who were eating and drinking, and asked, "You don't know what they did in Paris?"

them?What happened?
Guo Shuyu followed Hao Hongwei's gaze to look at his clansmen, and then suddenly understood what Hao Hongwei meant.

"You mean, what kind of trouble did Lao Zhou encounter?"

Hao Hongwei nodded: "Didn't I say that there is a woman outside of him? That woman actually dances in a nightclub, and she's not a pillar, but an absolute figure on the stage."

"But Lao Zhou came and hooked up and left, so he naturally quit and wanted to clean up Lao Zhou."

"The old man has some right to speak in Chinatown, they dare not come in, but now Lao Zhou and his wife are separated, and the old man has gone to take care of his granddaughter, so Lao Zhou is naturally a little flustered, especially when strangers appear in him every day for the past two days at the door of the company."

I don't know if it's because I've watched too many TV dramas, but the first thing that flashed in Zhou Tong's mind was the images of those TV dramas, and he asked worriedly, "Is that woman okay?"
