Marriage in the 1980s 4
"I'm afraid it's not as simple as ordering wine when you come today, right?" Mr. Xiao looked at Mr. Cheng and said.
"I knew it, I can't hide it from you." Old Master Cheng said with a smile.
"You came to the door in the name of ordering wine, and you didn't want to hide it at all." Mr. Xiao said, "I know that you are just such a grandson, and you are treated like your own grandson with your surname, and you were raised by yourself But you are a literati, you have the character of a literati, and you disdain to participate in these business affairs. Although your grandson, the business has grown bigger and bigger in the past few years, but ordering wine for his newly opened restaurant, no matter what There is no need for you to bring him to the door yourself."
"It's not disdain." Mr. Cheng waved his hand and said, "There are many mysteries in the way of doing business. I still admire Xiao Lao, a real and successful businessman, but I look down on those little ones who just make up for it. People. My grandson, as you said, was brought up by me. I originally wanted him to go into an official career with the help of my students who were officials. He is also a resourceful person. Yes, he will definitely be able to make a difference. But he is born to like business. To be honest, I was also disappointed in my heart. It’s not that I boast. Among the students I have taught, there is no one with a more flexible mind than him. But I I failed to convince him, but let him convince me, so I let him go."
After taking a sip of tea, Mr. Cheng continued, "My grandson has really good eyesight. I don't know how many people I've seen for him over the years, but none of them can satisfy him. I don't know what happened that day, but suddenly I ran to attend Zhao Haoyu's wedding banquet, and when I got back, I insisted that I bring him to visit your house. I thought that our two families had never met before, so there must be a reason for this sudden visit. It just happened He has opened several new restaurants and wants to buy a lot of wine from your family, so he asked me to use this reason to come with him. I also asked him, and he said that he saw Xiao Ling throwing wine from your family From the moment he opened the bottle, he felt that your family, Xiao Ling, was the one he had been waiting for all these years."
"Since what happened at the wedding banquet last time, there have been quite a few people who came to the door. It's just that during this period of time, I have repeatedly reflected on myself. My vision is really bad. I thought it was good when I saw Zhao Haoyu, but I almost didn't realize it. It hurt my family Xiao Ling for the rest of my life, and I feel scared when I think about it."
"Then what do you think, how do I see people?"
"Your vision naturally wants me to be too strong. People outside are saying that none of the students you have recruited in the past few decades have been misjudged. No matter their age, they have all done something, and there are no such messy things. It’s really impossible not to admire.”
"My grandson was raised by me when I was a child. I won't say anything else. There is only one thing that he inherited from his father, and that is his absolute devotion. There are quite a few people who have fallen in love with him over the years. , but he was just unmoved, and he didn't even want to look at her. His mother advised him to be gentle with other girls, but he said that he was only gentle with people he believed in, and if he didn't meet someone he liked People, he would rather not marry for life."
"Cheng Cheng is a rising star in the business world of Los Angeles. I have paid attention to him in the past few years. He is indeed young and promising. It's just that I thought Zhao Haoyu was a good person before. Nian is afraid of well ropes, so I am. One more thing, although Cheng Sheng has your surname, he is Zhao Shude's grandson after all. I have already said that I will not have any contact with the Zhao family, so how can I talk about it? "
"You don't have to worry about this. I have such a big feud with Zhao Shude. I married my daughter to his son. It's no secret that my son-in-law doesn't get along with Zhao Shude and his son. I didn't ask him to marry me, but Cheng Cheng After he was born, he was also the one who insisted on letting Cheng Cheng be surnamed Cheng. He also said that if his mother hadn’t been around, he would have given up his surname Zhao long ago. When I agreed to marry my daughter to him, many people said that I I will definitely regret it in the future, but in the past 20 or 30 years, my daughter and I have not regretted a day. Although my son-in-law is not as capable as those of my students, he really knows how to love others, and has never treated my daughter I said something loudly. I dare to use my old face to assure you that Cheng Cheng definitely learned this from his father. "
Mr. Cheng tried his best to sell Cheng Cheng to Mr. Xiao. This was the first time he did such a thing for Cheng Cheng, because before, others came to sell to them on their own initiative.
Gradually, Mr. Xiao was moved by the words, but with the lesson from last time, he was still very afraid and didn't dare to agree easily. He just said, "I'm getting old now, and my brain is gradually becoming less flexible. Just such a grandson, I have to be careful and careful, cautious and cautious, look at it later, look at it again."
Mr. Cheng's students privately said that their teacher was an old fox who had practiced for a thousand years, so how could he fail to see what Mr. Xiao was thinking. He knew that Mr. Xiao had already been moved by what he said, and he had already achieved the effect he expected. Whether he could marry him back would be up to Cheng Cheng himself.
After Mr. Cheng and Cheng Cheng left, Tao Yuan went to discuss with Mr. Xiao about the wine tasting banquet, because the best way to promote new wine was to set up a wine tasting banquet. Because the Xiao family has certain standards and very strict requirements for wine, although the Xiao family holds a wine tasting banquet every year, it has not held a wine tasting banquet for new wine for ten years.
Mr. Xiao was quite satisfied with the new wine brewed by Tao Yuan this time. After calling the masters at home to taste the new wine, he also got unanimous approval. Wine shops are opened one after another, and new wines come out every year. These master craftsmen who have worked in Xiao's family for decades, can't help but feel anxious. Now they finally have a wine shop that can be recognized by Mr. Xiao. After tasting the new wine, they also felt that it would sell well, so they were naturally happy.
"What do you think of Xiao Sheng?" After watching those masters leave to go to work, Mr. Xiao suddenly asked Tao Yuan without any reason.
Tao Yuan thought for a while and said, "I gave him a glass of all the wines currently on sale in our family, and he was able to accurately name each wine. It seems that he really likes our wines. When he was visiting the garden just now, he said that he just bought a very nice villa, which will open after a while, and he wanted to invite me as a guest."
"You agree?"
Tao Yuan nodded.
"His father and Zhao Haoyu's father are half brothers. Although his surname is not Zhao, he and Zhao Haoyu are cousins."
"I know this. I have heard about their family. Although he is the grandson of the Zhao family, and our family has just had a grudge with the Zhao family, but the enmity between his grandfather and his father and the Zhao family, But it is much bigger than ours. So I think, the Zhao family is the Zhao family and he is him, if he is judged because of the behavior of the Zhao family, then he is too wronged."
"... You speak for him like this, you probably fell in love with him, right?" Mr. Xiao looked at Tao Yuan seriously and asked.
"I'm just stating the facts objectively. As for what I don't like, let's talk about it after I get along with him after a while. I'm still busy with the wine tasting banquet."
"Xiaoling, grandpa knows that you have been a very attentive person since you were a child, but we must admit that you and grandpa don't seem to have a good eye for people. We have already misjudged once. This time Be careful, be careful, be careful."
"Understood." Tao Yuan said with a smile.
In this era, good things are not worried about not being sold, but with the development of society and economy, more and more people are doing business. Although it seems that any business is very easy to do now, but the further the future, the competition It will be more intense, there will be competition, there will be elimination.
In the previous life, the reason why the Ke family fell into disrepair in the end was because they were eliminated in the increasingly turbulent business world. But Ke's family is still very good now, and their business is bigger than Xiao's. On the surface, their family business is much bigger than Xiao's. In the past, their family was mainly in the cloth and tea business, but now they are also in the wine business, and they are doing quite well. Although they are not as famous as the Xiao Family Winery, the Xiao Family Winery has gone through several generations of hard work.
The Xiao family only focuses on the wine business. Before the feudal dynasty perished, the wine of the Xiao family was still a tribute to the royal family.
Tao Yuan wants to brew more and better wines and further enhance the status of the Xiao Family Winery. This wine tasting banquet is just the beginning.
Now there are Calligraphy Association, Chinese Painting Association, Weiqi Association, Tea Association, Wine Association, Cloth Association and other associations. Since there is a wine tasting banquet, it is natural to post a post to the veterans of the Wine Tasting Association. Although there are many people in these associations, they must have many years of experience and real skills to sit in the position of a veteran. If you want to invite them, they don't bother.
A few months ago, the Ke family also held a new wine tasting banquet. After the event, they got very good comments from the veterans of the Wine Tasting Association. Then the Ke family sent people to talk about it. The wine of the Ke family winery has surpassed that of the Xiao family. Wine from the winery. Now Tao Yuan is going to slap them in the face, and let the veterans of the wine association say that the Xiao family winery is the number one in the world.
Because Tao Yuan is a brother in this world, many rules are the same as women's. Both women and brothers do not entertain outsiders. Although young people are becoming more and more open-minded in the current era, the older generation still pays attention to rules, so there is no need for Tao Yuan to come forward to entertain guests for such a banquet.
Cheng Cheng and his grandfather also came, and his grandfather also brought some friends, all of them are people of status and status, and people of high esteem. A word from these people is much more useful than the advertisements of those first-line stars in the future. Mr. Cheng specially brought them here to support him, and he did his best to win the favor of the Xiao family as his grandson Cheng Cheng.
Tao Yuan secretly brought Cheng Cheng to the Wine Tasting Pavilion again, and prepared some appetizers that he made himself.
