Chapter 854:

Episode 854
The dinner was held in a suburban manor under the Beijing branch of the Energy Group, which was specially built by the group to entertain some valuable guests. Although it is a suburb, it is the outer ring road and the traffic is very convenient.
Invested more than 10 billion yuan to build a luxury reception club. It is estimated that such a thing can be done by the energy group. It is not open to foreigners. No matter where you are a high-ranking official or a rich person, you only entertain guests from the energy group. No, even if you are the president of the country or the richest man, you can only look outside.
Moreover, there are very few opening hours here. Basically, there is a large-scale banquet every month. It is not bad that Xiang Li Cong visits it once a year.
The interior of the 4,000-acre manor is equipped with battery cars. There are a series of entertainment facilities such as swimming pools, lakes, small yachts, golf courses, racecourses, and movie screening rooms. The most distinctive feature here is that the waiters here are all clean. One of the master's students, of course, is not Li Congxian, but the guests here are generally people with higher cultural levels. How can they be drawn from everywhere in society?
Ordinary people can only look at this huge five-meter-high wall from a distance. As for what is inside, they are basically unclear. They just know that the parking lot in front of the door is lined with long luxury cars. , The taxi had to turn around five hundred meters here, and the patrol team led by the wolf dog, everywhere showed that this place is completely different from other Beijing suburbs clubs.
Today’s reception banquet was mainly rewarded by Li Cong to the officials of various ministries of the Central Government. The highest was ministerial officials, and the lowest was also the hall-level officials of Beijing Municipal Administration. Because of the Liu family, the senior officials of the Beijing Military Region also absolutely It is indispensable. Although these people don't say that, they must also know that being able to join Li Cong's invitation list is an honor.
Take the invitation, it’s not just a piece of paper. The person from the group’s public relations department used 150 grams of yellow? Cormorant model to wield arms and destroy Nanyou silly strong porcelain. First swelling and swelling: the capsule of the sacred acre of the mulberry string emblem of the sacred scorpion is apologized, and the rose model is blown out of the neon bake 监鸾 ⒄ the hooked emblem linger on the source of the source reef 鋈 want to play leisurely abduction ┑ weary slap gown Furious about Hannake, hazel clam, pancreas, blow model, mellow and rotten emperor?
When Li Cong brought Liu Yan to change his clothes, it was just four o’clock in the afternoon. The guests had to arrive at six o’clock. As the host, Li Cong would naturally come to see some preparations. In fact, there is nothing for Li Cong to check. , His arrival in advance is just a courtesy, and he can also let the guests see that he has been carefully prepared.
"Why did you change your name here?" Li Cong said while looking at "Li Yuan" at the door. Isn't this name only available to Li Jiazhai in Jinan?
"I made the change. I want to improve the specifications here, but the equipment inside has basically reached the limit. I can only do research on this door. I know you have many problems. You didn't see Li Yuan. Is there the word Beijing in front of it? Everyone will distinguish it in the future. We know that our Li Garden is for rest, and Beijing’s Li Garden is for banquets." Liu Yan replied carefully, for fear of Li Cong Because of this dissatisfaction.
Li Cong smiled helplessly. His daughter-in-law fù will give this to himself. When a beautiful woman is tired of explaining it to you, you have to listen to her first if you have a great reason, otherwise you too I am puzzled.
"Okay, just do it, but you can't let your mistakes go. After dinner, I will study how to punish you at night." Li Cong said in Liu Yan's ear, the look of the big bad wolf It is estimated that it can scare the real wolf away and make Liu Yan a big red face.
The couple joked and walked towards the gate. In fact, Li Cong can drive in the car. Although the parking lot inside is not very large, as the host, he still has his own seat. The parking lot is placed outside the garden to give reporters outside a chance. They can't take pictures of people. It's okay to take pictures of cars from a distance.
"Boss, Madam." The butler who received Liu Yan's message led a dozen waiters on both sides of the door. The man stood on the right and the woman stood on the left. The butler stood in the middle. Li Cong suddenly remembered that the man was on the left. The female right is in the middle. I don’t know if this butler is that. Seeing the butler standing in his fifties, he is also his own employee. Li Cong quickly threw his thoughts out of his mind. .
"Yes, I don't know what the housekeeper is called?" Li Cong glanced at it. There were busy workers everywhere, setting up scenes, and transporting things. It seemed that things were almost done.
"Boss, my fellow Cui Shijing, you just call me Xiao Cui." Cui steward smiled.
"Little Cui? I think you are older than me. I'll just call you Lao Cui. How are the preparations in this house? After a while, guests will come. I will reward you for doing well, but if you don’t Well, don’t blame me as a boss for not giving you face.
For this kind of person, Li Cong still knows how to manage. That is to give you both kindness and power. Cry old Cui is to give you face, but you can’t do your own thing. Don't blame us.
"Look, boss, it's basically finished. The restaurant is set up. The situation here can be completed within ten minutes. Everything is in accordance with the requirements of the lady. The carpet and tableware must be replaced with new ones. We have delayed a little time, but we will definitely not delay your banquet, the boss." Steward Cui replied respectfully. It can be seen that the boss is a good talker, but he can't be too much. The most important thing as a housekeeper is to find yourself. You can’t really treat yourself as the master just because the host has said two good things.
Take the things in the house as an example. Anything you can take is enough to live your life, but can you take it yourself? Not to mention so many eyes watching, it is the camera that is everywhere in the house, as long as I dare to reach out and wait for a fool to think of what I am, my boss is not a good man.
Li Cong listened to him and stepped the carpet. The Egyptian carpet, which is hundreds of dollars in square meters, is different from those imitations in China. The dragon totem on the wall after entering the hall really makes Li Cong feel that it is here. Like the Dragon Palace, the roof in the center is the same as the totem of the Li family in Jinan. It is a five-claw golden dragon made of two tons of gold. Li Cong doesn’t know why. Every time he sees this legendary dragon king, It will be so comfortable.
In fact, Li Cong had been studying it for a while when he was making this thing. The Chinese emperor called himself "the emperor of the true dragon" and was the incarnation of the "true dragon" of God. It is stipulated that only the emperor’s personal belongings and clothes can be painted with the image of a "five-clawed golden dragon", and other places where a dragon needs to be used are distinguished by a "four-clawed dragon" (ie "python"). The implicit meaning is "Only the emperor is the real dragon", and the other "four-clawed dragons" are "python" rather than "dragon".
I don’t know if I am the emperor, but now I don’t have as many rules as there were in the Qing Dynasty. I made this one by myself and looked good. I guess no one said anything. Although there are so many dragons in this room, they are still pointing their heads. The one in the middle is a five-clawed golden dragon, and the others are ordinary four-clawed dragons.
Under the Golden Dragon is the largest table in the entire banquet hall. It can seat forty people, followed by a table for 30 people, a table for 20 people, and a table for 12 people at the periphery. The whole hall can accommodate hundreds of people at the same time. I have a meal at the same time, but since Beijing Liyuan started to use it, it has not been filled up until now. It should be the first time today.
"How is the chef's craftsmanship here? These officials are the ones who are most knowledgeable about eating. Don't shame me at night." Li Cong said while looking at the menu.
"Boss, don’t worry about this. Our four Chinese chefs were used by the older generation to cook for the emperor. The worst one came from the Prime Minister’s Mansion. The western pastry chefs are all European. The teacher who is not coming out of the mountain in the new year, it was the people from our public relations department who came here. All the materials for today were only available yesterday. The chefs are very satisfied. They all said that they did not cook here for a lifetime. It's so comfortable." Old Cui said with a smile, but he didn't tell lies, these masters really said that.
"That's good, go tell them, don't talk about the previous ones, what I want is in the future, tell the people below that they will give me careful attention tonight, as long as there is no mistake today, tomorrow one person will get a big red envelope. If you make a mistake, I’ll be gone.
If anyone knows who the people in Li Cong’s kitchen are, he will definitely blame Li Cong for not cherishing talents, but Li Cong said that. They dare not have anything else. idea.
The Grand Hyatt Hotel is now the world’s largest hotel chain. It owns more than 30% of the world’s high-end hotels, and the number is increasing. The hotel industry is a very closely connected thing. If you offend If you are the owner of the Grand Hyatt Hotel, no one will welcome you when you go to any restaurant. These chefs may dare to put themselves on top of others and take their own words, but after all, they need to eat and get paid. If you offend Li Cong, it is estimated that no hotel in the world dares to invite them. Is it possible to rely on your own craftsmanship to set up roadside stalls?
When Li Cong wanted to educate this guy a few words, the first guest has arrived, and the identity of this first guest is also very eye-catching. He is the director of the National Development and Reform Commission Qiangmin. Li Cong quickly threw down some trivial things in the kitchen. Take Liu Yan to the door and wait for the arrival of Qiangmin.
When the report was given to Li Cong, the car had already turned in, and it would take about five minutes to reach the entrance of the garden. Li Cong walked and checked his meter. These Beijingers pay attention to this, and they can't make it nondescript.
This unit of the Development and Reform Commission is generally not available in other countries, but this unit in China is not an ordinary department. I believe any Chinese will know the extent of its power. Even Li Cong’s energy group needs to be right. He focused on three points.
Ordinarily, the director of the National Development and Reform Commission should be at the ministerial level. But a few years ago, in order to strengthen the role of the National Development and Reform Commission, the director of the National Development and Reform Commission abruptly lifted the director of the National Development and Reform Commission to the deputy state level. The director and the deputy prime minister enjoyed the same treatment. Enjoy the ministerial level treatment, which is almost the same as the Central Organization Department.
Qiangmin is a 60-year-old skinny old man. If it weren't for his entourage and the team, it would be no different from an ordinary old man if he was thrown on everyone. But Li Cong knew that this old man was forcing how many central enterprises across the country did not agree People are striving for profit and want to increase prices on a large scale? There are no doors. Want to make money for the people through policies? You can rest. Since Qiangmin became the master of the National Development and Reform Commission, the income of the National Development and Reform Commission has risen sharply, and that is fines, and the fines are all large enterprises with monopoly status.
"Director Qiang is really saving face. I just came to you when I arrived. I really want to thank you this big leader for taking the time to come to my place from his busy schedule. Please come in." Although Li Cong and Qiangmin only met once, then The second time was when the National People's Congress was held, the two people were introduced to each other on the road, but Qiangmin was still the deputy director of the National Development and Reform Commission at that time.
"Hehe, Mr. Li's face must be given to everyone in the capital. I will come here first if I am closer to here." Qiangmin's attitude can be said to be lukewarm. From the bottom of his heart, he is an old man. He doesn't want to contact these big capitalists at all. How can he cooperate with the bourgeoisie even if there is still in his head? Are we not a socialist country? But with the development of the world, he has also learned to adapt, that is, to strictly focus on those big companies, especially the sī monopoly companies and foreign companies. In recent years, central enterprises have also become his observation objects.
Li Cong really didn’t have much to say with this old guy. After a while, he was a little bit big. It was nothing more than not letting himself evade taxes. The tax we paid to the country in a year was more than 200 billion yuan. The top five of the top 500 companies in China are the same as us. Are we the tax evaders? If I were not happy today, I would have to talk to this old man.
Liu Yan saw early in the morning that Li Cong was not suitable for reception work, and after receiving the next visitor, he asked Li Congqu to rest while resting. What attitude should he have towards officials, or what attitude should he have towards Chinese officials? Li Cong guesses that he has forgotten nothing. In his impression, whether it is the US president or the Russian president, they are all his own guests. The one that sounds good is to say that. If it is not good, it is our dog. You have to do what you call him.
It’s a pity that this is China, not the United States and Russia, nor is it the southern African region under Li Cong's control. This is the Republic, and here has its own set of rules of conduct. If there are only one or two of them, Li Cong can choose Offend them, but if they offend them one after another, obviously it’s not a wise thing. Liu Yan needs to understand more than Li Cong. This is also related to her coming from a family of officials and officials. There is nothing in Li Cong. It's better to take over the job yourself if you make trouble.
It would be better if someone came to help himself. Li Cong was planning to stand at the door for a while, but Liu Yan didn't expect Liu Yan to say that he was standing there like an uncle, so why not be there?
Making a grimace at the exquisite daughter-in-law fù, Li Cong got into a battery car at random and went to the back for two shots. Although our skills were not good, our enthusiasm was very high.
When Li arrived at the golf course, there was no one there. Although the entertainment facilities here are complete, the guests here are all people with identities. They are not here to play. Their main goal is Li. From this person, not from Li from here.
Seeing Li Cong driving the battery car and disappearing into her sight, Liu Yan shook her head helplessly. Her husband was not very enthusiastic about the Beijing circle before. Now people come to cheat him. As long as he can lower his body, I’m afraid he can. I quickly merged into it, but now it’s fine. I just went to the Zhongnanhai State Council to do things directly. I look down on these people even more. I don’t know if there is an old saying in China that Yan Wang is better than a ghost. Tangled.
By six o'clock, the parking lot in front of Beijing Liyuan Park was not enough. The super large parking lot that can hold 400 cars is now completely insufficient. Liu Yan shook her head helplessly. There were less than one hundred and fifty invitations after I went out, and nearly five hundred people came. Although there was still a screening, they did not expect these people to come in their own cars~EbookFREE.me~ this time The dinner party was divided into two parts. One was in the hall where Li Conggang was staying. There was only the person who sent the invitation. The others had to stay in the front yard to dine. To put it bluntly, the level should be clearly defined, otherwise this Five hundred people went in and it was very lively, and the Li family banquet was too worthless.
"You kid has a way. Such a good thing is really unforgettable. You can get it." Bai Chen closed his eyes slowly while tasting the Lafite in his hand.
Li Cong looked at him like that and wanted to give him a kick. This red wine is so delicious? Why don't we drink these hundreds of thousands of bottles and those tens of dollars are no different, are we not aristocrats? Who is this guy?
"Look at what you look like, you are the young master of a big family in the old society. There is no such thing as a servant of the people. You are still leading the largest political group. I think we will go directly to the Kuomintang. I think It's still a bit reliable. Look at the leader of the Kuomintang in Taiwan, how many drink this?" Li Cong teased.
"Fart, they are just as they are on the surface, secretly more extravagant than me." Bai Chen said in dissatisfaction, but he was telling the truth, none of the politicians were superficial, secretly.
