Chapter 385 I Can’t Beat It [Please Give Me a Monthly Ticket]
There are a lot of things that need to be prepared for camping, and Wang Yan knows nothing about it.
After talking to Chu Hong, Chu Hong patted his chest and said: You don’t have to worry about anything, just go with your mouth!
That's so embarrassing.
Young Master Wang thought for a while and finally decided to do what he is best at.
As a top tycoon, what is Wang Yan best at?
Spend money!
On Sunday morning, the young man drove his G65 to go shopping.
Not long after setting off, Chu Hong called again and asked Mr. Wang to pick up Chen Xi.
"Xiao Xi lives closest to you. It's inconvenient for us to travel across the city and come back. Mr. Wang, please take her with you on the way!"
Okay, it’s a small thing.
So Wang Yan turned around and went to pick up Chen Xi.
The distance is indeed quite close, only 15 kilometers, emmm...
Mr. Wang spent half an hour traveling to an extremely unfamiliar place, and finally found the seemingly new neighborhood using navigation.
Stopped at the gate of the community and called Chen Xi.
After just two rings, Chen Xi hurried out of the small supermarket on the roadside, holding two bottles of water, a cup of coffee and a cup of milk tea in his hands.
Chen Xi was dressed very...nice today.
The lower body is a pair of black leather shorts, a pair of flesh-colored stockings in winter, and a pair of black boots, which make the legs look thin and long.
The upper body is a small windbreaker, red, also made of leather.
Inside is a turtleneck cashmere sweater, gray and white, without any patterns.
Her long, straight black hair was spread loosely. When she trotted towards G65, her hair was flying, and she looked like a fairy.
Both fashionable and fairy.
But when Young Master Wang moved her eyes from her hair to a slightly lower position, she immediately lost her beauty.
While running, the center of gravity drifts in various ways - that's all I can describe.
So sentimental...
Minsheng's uniforms are really shit, they don't show the true strength of their employees at all!
Gudong!
Looking at the water she was holding, Mr. Wang immediately became thirsty.
Comrade Xiaoxi is very considerate...
Mr. Wang lowered the window and waved to her: "Good morning, come on, get in the car!"
Chen Xi smiled slightly and was about to open the car door when he was suddenly stopped.
"Chen Xi?"
Wang Yan and Chen Xi turned around at the same time and saw a man and a woman carrying large and small bags, passing by the car and turning towards the gate of the community.
"Are you going to start at Ali?"
The man stopped Chen Xi, and the woman continued to ask questions.
Chen Xi flipped his hair and replied politely but coldly: "Company team building. Did you go shopping for groceries?"
The young man raised the plastic bag in his hand and nodded: "That's right! I wanted to cook you a big meal and have a party... Well, will you be back in the evening?"
Chen Xi shook his head: "You guys can eat, we are going to go camping and go to work directly tomorrow."
When he heard the word "camping", the young man's expression changed drastically. He seemed sour, bitter, and a little panicked.
The girl's expression also changed, but it was filled with jealousy and a hint of joy: "Ah! Your team-building activities were so good? Isn't the guy who came to pick you up a handsome guy?"
Before, it was still the dialect of the Magic City, but now it will soon become Mandarin.
Not only that, the girl also took a few steps closer and looked into the cab.
What do you want me to do?
Young Master Wang turned away and looked out the window, leaving the other party with the back of his head.
When Chen Xi saw this, he immediately waved and said goodbye to them: "We are in a hurry, bye!"
Then open the door and get in the car.
In just a short moment, Wang Yan understood the relationship between the other party and Chen Xi. Without any more nonsense, he directly put the gear into gear, stepped on the accelerator, and drove away.
After getting on the road, he realized that Chen Xi was a little cramped and asked casually: "Roommate?"
"Um."
Chen Xi nodded: "Two roommates living together."
Since the topic is here, let’s continue the conversation.
"A single room? Why do you live so far away?"
"The rent is cheap."
After a second of replying, Chen Xi suddenly realized that he had said too little and added another sentence.
"Not far from here is the Metro Line 2 station. It's just downstairs from the company. It's very convenient for work. One month's rent plus water and electricity is only over 1,300 yuan, which is very cost-effective."
"That's pretty cheap. Is the room big?"
"It's 16 square meters with three bedrooms and one living room. It's quite big and enough for me."
Wang Yan immediately drew a picture in his head.
4 meters × 4 meters = 16 square meters, a square pigeon cage, a bed, a wardrobe, and a table, OVER.
Is this called "quite big"? !
Surprised, Wang Yan couldn't have said it directly. Only a straight man who couldn't find a wife would do that.
However, you can continue the conversation in another way.
"Actually, with your salary, you can live in a better place, right? You are so beautiful, wouldn't sharing a house be a safety hazard?"
It was tactful enough, and with a compliment, Chen Xi's conversational nature finally became a little more interesting.
“My salary is not high, so although there are all kinds of troubles in sharing a flat, it can only be that way for the time being.
In fact, it’s not just me. Many tenants in our community work in Lujiazui. The two roommates just now, one works at Pudong Development Bank and the other works at a securities company. "
"Isn't that true? You have become a key account manager of private banking in Minsheng. Isn't your salary high?"
Wang Yan looked at her in surprise, and it was this look that aroused her desire to complain.
"What kind of key account manager! In fact, he is just a white-collar worker.
In terms of job level, I am a C-level regular employee.
In terms of salary level, I am in the 5th grade of level 12 not long after I became a full-time employee.
All annual wages, bonuses, compensation, savings, etc. are added together, and the maximum can reach 110,000. You have to take all performance and benefits to get that amount.
In fact, according to the general situation of old employees last year, it was normal to earn over 100,000 yuan and a little more than 8,000 yuan per month.
It's very difficult to live in this magical city on such a small amount of money. "
Young Master Wang, who had not seen the fireworks of the world for a long time, was really shocked.
"So few?! You, Minsheng, are considered a big bank no matter what..."
"A lot."
Chen Xi calmly shook his head: "Undergraduate students in Lujiazui generally take this number. After all, I have only graduated for a year and a half, and I still have five insurances and one housing fund."
The mentality is quite good.
Wang Yan keenly noticed that Chen Xi complained without any resentment, which was rare.
However, just when Young Master Wang thought that she was a contented girl, she suddenly overturned Wang Yan's judgment herself.
"Master Wang, if you can transfer the basic account to our bank, I should be able to directly upgrade to level 10, and my life will not be so hard."
Wang Yan was stunned and turned his head to look at her deeply.
what happened?
Suddenly it became such a direct style of play...
Can't figure it out.
There is no set pattern for people to interact with each other. If he couldn't figure it out, Wang Yan simply stopped thinking about it and left an ambiguous "promise".
"I will communicate with Chu Xing again."
Being pitiful didn't have any effect, which seemed to give up all Chen Xi's courage.
She pursed her lips, looking a little frustrated, lowered her head and started rummaging through the plastic bag.
"Drink some water, what kind do you want?"
"Just mineral water, thank you."
Just waiting for the red light, Wang Yan took the water from the bottle she unscrewed and gave her a smile in return.
"You're welcome."
Chen Xi, who was rude but extremely polite, glanced at the central control screen and asked uncertainly: "Master Wang, we seem to be going the wrong way..."
"That's right, I'm going to buy something."
"It doesn't matter what Chu Xing says, you don't have to worry about it..."
"Group activities are the best if you can make some contribution, no matter how big or small."
Wang Yan said casually, and Chen Xi fell silent immediately.
Silence does not mean that she has no ideas. She remained silent, but continued to revise her evaluation of Wang Yan's character in her heart.
To be honest, this job is quite difficult.
She had never seen a person like Wang Yan in her daily life. It was difficult for him to be a white-collar worker who had only worked for more than a year.
Simple summary - the impression continues to get better.
…
Following the navigation, Wang Yan soon found the destination of his trip.
It was a liquor store.
Chen Xi got out of the car and was a little surprised when he looked up and saw the sign.
"Master Wang, do you want to buy red wine?"
Wang Yan smiled: "There must be someone bringing beer skewers or something. I'll bring some red wine and champagne, which should just make up for the shortcomings."
Chen Xi smiled and nodded, with perfect etiquette.
But he was complaining in his heart: In order to please you, Chu Xing would definitely bring red wine and champagne. Would he make that kind of mistake?
But the eldest young master doesn’t want to eat and drink for free, he must make some contribution...
Of course it's up to him.
After entering the liquor store, she suddenly realized that the situation was not simple.
The owner of the wine shop, whose surname was Zhang, was waiting in the shop in person. He exchanged pleasantries and talked about a common friend named "Hu Zi", who seemed to be a young man.
Then, Mr. Zhang took Wang Yan and Chen Xi to the wine cellar in the backyard.
As soon as he went there, Chen Xi was eye-opened by the fine wines that were sorted into different categories and stored in various ways.
Time was limited, so Mr. Wang went straight to the goal without any ink.
It was still the 1982 Mouton, which was the most cost-effective wine among all the wines Wang Yan had ever tasted.
It not only has an excellent taste, but it is not like the 1982 Lafite, which was so hyped that the price was distorted.
It's definitely not enough for drinking, but it's perfect for daily drinking.
Mr. Zhang gave Black Tiger face and was very polite: "Mr. Wang, although I can't sell you much, please rest assured that the price is the lowest on the market."
"Thank you, Mr. Zhang, for your kindness."
Wang Yan nodded and chuckled, then changed the topic: "But, you just need to make sure it is real wine."
Mr. Zhang didn’t explain anything, he just made a suggestion.
“It’s best to wait for more than 6 hours after opening the bottle before tasting it. By then, you will know the authenticity with one sip.”
So confident?
That should be no problem.
Chen Xi didn't understand and was extremely curious, but he resisted asking.
Wang Yan saw her expression at a glance and took the initiative to explain.
“For top wines from top vintages such as Lafite, Latour, and Mouton, many businessmen will buy empty bottles with well-preserved wine labels at high prices and fill them with ordinary wines also produced in Porto.
A wine bottle costs three to five thousand, and it can be sold back for at least three to five times, which is a huge profit.
Since the production areas are the same and the taste is similar, it is difficult for ordinary consumers to distinguish them.
The taste of top-quality wine is 100 points, while the taste of ordinary wine may be 90 points. It is almost impossible for someone who is not an expert to taste the difference.
However, once the bottle is opened and decanted for more than 6 hours, the firmness and stability of the top wine will have obvious advantages in taste.
This is the difference between real and fake wine quality. Even a good wine worth around 2,000 yuan cannot maintain its best taste after 6 to 8 hours. "
Bang bang bang!
Mr. Zhang praised and applauded: "Young Master Wang is an expert! Fortunately, I always treat people with integrity when doing business!"
You are such an honest daddy!
What are those wine barrels with filling caps in the wine cellar used for?
At most, it was just for Heihu's sake that he didn't trick me.
Wang Yan knew it very well and smiled without saying a word.
As a result, the force is even more towering.
Um, seems the idiom is not used well?
Anyway, that's what it means. Chen Xi is quite convinced. He feels that this young master really has a lot of knowledge and is not arrogant.
It feels good to beep if you dress brightly, and feel good if you dress darkly.
Seeing Chen Xi's expression, Mr. Wang felt relieved and asked Mr. Zhang happily: "Give me six bottles to make a box, is that okay?"
"Can."
Mr. Zhang was very happy and then made an offer: "You can give me 90,000 yuan."
15,000 a bottle?
Give it to a group of people you don’t know very well?
Chen Xi was stunned for a moment, then immediately kept a straight face and quietly worked on himself mentally.
You are the key account manager of a private bank. Stay calm and don't look like you have never seen the world!
I could hold it back, but my heart was still in a state of shock and confusion.
90,000 yuan is not much... what a piece of shit!
It’s almost a year’s salary, okay!
If it's just for Mr. Wang himself, it's okay, but it's obvious that he wants to hire a people's livelihood team. There's really only one word to describe it - trench!
The key issue is that now people are looking for people's livelihood, not people looking for people's livelihood services!
But this is not over yet.
It's rare for Wang Yan to find a reliable dealer. There are many kinds of stocks in the wine cellar, and he is very interested in ordering another box of 1982 Latour.
140,000.
The 12 bottles of wine will definitely not be finished today. In fact, they were prepared by Wang Yan for himself.
But Chen Xi is a bit numb - after all, his working hours are short, and he has never seen such a young man spend so much money.
Next, Mr. Zhang warmly invited Wang Yan to visit his cellar treasure.
A bottle of 1945 Mouton, a bottle of 1982 Lafite, and a bottle of 1990 Romanee-Conti.
They are all stored in a thermostatic cabinet and have no price tag.
Mr. Zhang gave his psychological price with a hint of bragging: "400,000, 350,000, 700,000. Only when the above prices are reached, I will consider selling them - just considering, it also depends on whether the buyer is worthy of owning them. ”
Young Master Wang glanced out of the corner of his eye and found that the other party was staring at him closely, and he laughed secretly in his heart.
Expect me to take over?
Are you crazy or am I crazy? !
Whose trick are you using?
Do you know that my nickname is the Little Prince of Routine? !
…
Ordinary nouveau riche can't control their desire to express themselves in front of beautiful women.
You have to show off when you have the opportunity, and you have to show off when you don't have the opportunity to create opportunities.
However, Mr. Wang is obviously not an ordinary nouveau riche.
But, it’s a rare opportunity to show off, so you still have to show off.
Glancing at the bewildered Chen Xi, the beautiful young lady who usually looks very calm and reserved was clearly shocked by the price.
When I work in a bank, I talk about funds in hundreds of millions every day, but that is obviously not the same concept as ultra-luxury in daily consumption.
It can be seen from her shared house that her family background is average and she has not seen much of the world.
Wang Yan smiled evilly and spoke leisurely.
"If it were placed before 2010, your bottle of 82 Lafite would probably cost 450,000.
The past 20 years have been the Bordeaux era, and the price of Lafite has been pushed to the limit.
In recent years, the fruity aroma and soft body of Burgundy have become popular again, and Romanée-Conti has taken advantage of the trend and emerged as a liquid diamond.
Looking at the current situation, Bordeaux's decline may not be reversed in ten or twenty years. Your two bottles of wine are under great pressure to appreciate...
Why don't you give me a suitable price and I'll buy a bottle for you? "
Young Master Wang speaks with sincerity and sincerity.
As a result, Mr. Zhang smiled awkwardly and refused: "I collect them just as a hobby. Those three bottles of wine are really not for sale. I'm sorry, Mr. Wang."
When he pretended to shake his head, his heart was bleeding.
Damn it!
Finally, I met a rich little guy. Buying Latour Mouton was like buying cabbage. He was just about to make a big profit with some tricks, but he turned out to be an expert...
What can Mr. Zhang do?
I can only force my love!
Chen Xixiu was smart and instantly understood the secret exchange between the two. She subconsciously clenched her fists and tried to hide her surprise.
Oh my god!
Is this little devil too cunning? !
That Mr. Zhang didn't deceive people with fake wine at all, he just used some tricks to make a quick buck, but was killed by the young master in the blink of an eye? !
Smart, keen, knowledgeable, broad-minded, profound...
With such a master, Chu Xing, what are you going to do to get him?
Anyway, I'm out of ideas.
Can't play it!
Less than half an hour after the second contact, Chen Xi began to express infinite pessimism about the mission.
I recommended a book from a friend, "Becoming a Boss from a B&B", a new book written by Xiao Yuzi who is a brilliant writer. I haven't found the time to read it yet, so I don't know if it will be as exciting as the previous book.
