After having dinner with Chyi Yu at a unique Hanzhou restaurant, Chyi Yu suggested: "It's too early to go back to the hotel, why don't we go to the bar?"
Fang Zhicheng thought for a moment and said with a smile: "I'm not very familiar with Hanzhou's nightlife, so I don't really know which bar is fun. Let me make a phone call and find a guide."
Qi Yu looked at Fang Zhicheng with a smile and joked, "Zhicheng, you have been in the officialdom for too long. You give people the impression of being calm and mature, but there is one bad thing. You are too old-fashioned and incompatible with us young people."
Fang Zhicheng smiled bitterly and said, "You are the first person to point out my shortcomings so directly. However, everyone's living environment is different, and the pressure and responsibilities they bear are also different."
Qi Yu rolled her eyes and took a long breath, "You're starting to preach again, just like my dad. If you chat with him, I'm sure you'll have common topics."
Fang Zhicheng smiled and said, "The big boss of Qi Group? I must meet him if I have a chance."
Fang Zhicheng called Shang Yan and waited for ten minutes. Shang Yan hurried into the restaurant. She stared at Qi Yu and looked him up and down, and said, "Boss, is this the guest from the Qi Group?"
Fang Zhicheng smiled and nodded, saying, "The daughter of the Qi Group, Ms. Qi Yu."
Shang Yan's eyes sparkled, and she smiled and shook hands with him, saying, "Hello, my name is Shang Yan, and I'm District Chief Fang's secretary."
Qi Yu gave Fang Zhicheng a complicated look and said with emotion: "What a beautiful female secretary! Your District Chief Fang is so lucky."
Shang Yan blushed and quickly lowered her eyelids, saying, "District Chief Fang has always disliked me, saying that I don't work as hard as the men."
Qi Yu covered her mouth and smiled, "That's because your District Chief Fang is too superficial. Studies have shown that women are more suitable for secretarial work because compared to men, women are delicate, serious, and patient."
Fang Zhicheng sighed, "You two really hit it off. You've only met for a few minutes and you've already joined forces to deal with me, a fellow man of the opposite sex."
Qi Yu smiled happily and said, "You know what, Secretary Shang and I hit it off right away."
Shang Yan was not familiar with Hanzhou's nightlife. After making two phone calls, she chose a bar called "Palace" in the city center. As soon as she entered, she heard deafening music. Fang Zhicheng frowned. He didn't like this atmosphere very much. However, seeing Qi Yu's face with a little excitement, he didn't say anything. After all, the key to coming here for entertainment was to entertain Qi Yu well, and his own preferences were nothing.
Although the Qi Group has been in a downturn in the past two years, it is a once-in-a-lifetime capital giant for Xiaguang. Dongtai was unknown at the beginning, but the strong entry of the Qi Group triggered a series of chain reactions, which eventually made Dongtai stand out in less than two years and became a nationally famous development frontier.
If the Qi Group is willing to set up its mainland headquarters in Xiaguang District, it will definitely stimulate the development of Xiaguang. At the same time, Hanzhou has always been known as the "King's City of Jade" because Hanzhou's jade craftsmen have a very good heritage, and both their skills and artistry are at the pinnacle. If the Qi Group's jewelry channels can be used, it may be possible to open up sales channels for Hanzhou's jade, so that Hanzhou's jade will not only be sold well in China, but even go abroad and become a major industry supporting the local economy.
Chapter 0551 The Fire in the Heart of the Young
Fang Zhicheng stuffed some money into Shang Yan's pocket and asked her to order a few bottles of foreign wine. After the wine was served, Qi Yu took a sip and said, "Fake wine." This made the waiter's face darken, a little ugly.
Fang Zhicheng smiled bitterly, he knew Qi Yu would never be wrong, bars sell inferior products as good ones and make huge profits, this is the unspoken rule in the industry, ordinary people are used to it.
Fang Zhicheng glanced at the waiter and said, "Please change a bottle of real wine."
Seeing that Fang Zhicheng and Shang Yan both had foreign accents, the waiter said unhappily, "Customer, our bar has been open in Hanzhou for more than ten years. We have always been operating with integrity and will never sell fake alcohol. So your request makes it difficult for me. Because apart from this kind of alcohol, we can no longer provide any other alcoholic beverages."
Qi Yu smiled and said, "Authentic French Bordeaux red wine has a smooth and delicate taste, but the fake wine you provided has an astringent taste. Of course, only people who often drink French Bordeaux can tell the difference."
Seeing that Qi Yu was talking more and more carefully and that someone next to him was paying attention to this, the waiter's face became very ugly, and he said in a deep voice: "Wait a moment, I'll be there in a while." After that, he took away the opened red wine and turned back to the bar. After entering the bar, the first thing he did was not to change the wine, but to call the lobby manager.
So, Fang Zhicheng soon saw a middle-aged man in a suit and tie, with several tall and strong men standing behind him.
Qi Yu glanced at Fang Zhicheng, seemed a little excited, and said with a smile: "Now there will be a good show to watch."
Fang Zhicheng pulled the corner of his mouth, secretly sighed and really suspected that Qi Yu deliberately created this contradiction. He shook his head helplessly and said, "How about you and Shang Yan go out first, I will communicate with them."
Qi Yu shook her head and said, "That won't work. I'm the person involved. How can I leave so easily?"
Fang Zhicheng knew that the matter could not be resolved peacefully. If he put himself in their shoes, he could understand the reason. If you go to a bar and say that they sell fake wine, isn't that deliberately destroying their reputation? It is reasonable for them to use force and kick you out.
Fang Zhicheng thought about it and called Xiang Xin. Communicating with these social personnel is like fighting with fists. If he were alone, Fang Zhicheng would not be afraid to argue with them, or even fight with them. But he is the mayor of Xiaguang District. If he fights with people in a nightclub, the news will spread and he will inevitably be used and criticized.
When the lobby manager saw Fang Zhicheng calling, his attitude softened. After all, they were doing business, and they had a rule of thumb that if a conflict arose, it was better to wait until they knew the other party's background before making any plans. Otherwise, if they acted in excitement and offended a powerful person, it would be difficult to do business in the future.
After Fang Zhicheng finished the call, the lobby manager handed over his business card. Fang Zhicheng took a look and said with a smile, "Hello, Manager Pi. First of all, please calm down. We are just customers. We simply want to relax here. We are not deliberately looking for trouble. Secondly, you know very well whether the wine is real or fake. I suggest that we both take a step back. You give us the real wine, and we will just treat it as a mistake on your part. Harmony brings wealth in business, right?"
Manager Pi thought to himself that this young man spoke maturely, but how could he admit that the wine was fake? There were so many people present, and if the news got out, many people would cause trouble.
Manager Pi said in a deep voice: "Sir, you just opened a bottle of wine, and there are still two bottles of wine that have not been opened. How about this, I will charge you one thousand yuan for the bottle of wine that has been opened, and then refund you the money for the wine that has been opened, how about that?"
Shang Yan said unhappily: "Doesn't that mean we still have to pay for that bottle of fake wine?"
Manager Pi waved his hand and said impatiently: "I have worked in nightclubs for many years, and I have seen many people who drink alcohol. The Palace Bar has been open for so many years and has received all kinds of customers. If you insist on making trouble, I will not be afraid and am willing to accompany you!"
Fang Zhicheng turned his wrist, glanced at his watch, and said with a smile: "Since Manager Pi is unwilling to make a big deal out of a small matter, and as consumers, we cannot swallow our anger and willingly be defrauded by you, then we will just wait it out."
After saying this, Fang Zhicheng sat on the bar stool. Manager Pi knew that Fang Zhicheng was waiting for help, and he was in a dilemma. Manager Pi was experienced and had encountered many difficult customers, but usually he could deal with them by just scaring them a little and then comforting them. However, Fang Zhicheng obviously had something to rely on and didn't take him seriously at all.
After ten minutes of stalemate, Manager Pi realized that the situation had affected the guests around him, so he said, "Sir, how about we go to the office to talk?"
Fang Zhicheng smiled but did not stand up.
Manager Pi was a little hesitant and had a bad feeling, so he quickly called his boss.
Just then, Xiang Xin walked into the bar and quickly found where Fang Zhicheng was. He was followed by several people. They were not as burly as the security guards at the Palace Bar, but they had strong builds and a special aura.
"What's going on?" Xiang Xin walked over to Fang Zhicheng. Fang Zhicheng didn't explain the reason on the phone.
Fang Zhicheng shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I drank fake wine and wanted them to replace it with the real one, but this is what happened."
