Chapter 410 Treating guests to dinner
Fang Minghua watched quietly.
It suddenly occurred to him that he didn’t know if the girl named Dai Jiali and Yanjing whom he saw on the pier was also here?
I wish I wasn’t here.
“Let’s go.” Fang Ming said.
"They are all college students, the proud sons of heaven." Zhao Hongjun stared at everything blankly with a cigarette in his mouth.
Suddenly he spit out the butt of his cigarette with a "poof" sound and cursed:
"Fuck! In Xijing, the company wanted to recruit a college student, but the salary and conditions were so good that no one came. But here, There are so many college students that no one wants them!"
Fang Minghua smiled lightly after hearing this: "If you ask those college students if they want to go to Xijing with you, no one will go."
Zhao Hongjun. He sighed and said nothing more.
On Tuesday, news finally came from Ye Weilin. Hong Shouxiang from the publishing house finished his meeting and rushed back to Haikou from Huacheng. After listening to Su Bin's words, he was very interested in this method of cooperation.
“That’s great!” Zhao Hongjun said to Ye Weilin on the phone: “Tonight I’m treating you to a guest, it’s a courtesy to the president of the industry! The location is Wanghai Tower, the time is 6:30, please You and Minghua will accompany you, and by the way, your fellow countryman Su Bin!"
Ye Wei Linye did not refuse, but agreed with a smile, and said on the phone: "Manager Zhao, I am a fellow countryman who just left the country. Changsha rushed to Haikou. He is also a writer. He admires Editor Fang very much and wants to meet him. Maybe call him up tonight. "
"No problem. I like to interact with writers the most. "Zhao Hongjun readily agreed.
After hanging up the phone, Zhao Hongjun told Fang Minghua next to him about the treat. When Fang Minghua heard that Ye Weilin had brought a writer from Hunan Province, he asked curiously: "Who is it? What's his name?"
"Oops. I forgot to ask for his name." Zhao Hongjun said: "Whoever he is, just add more chopsticks if there are more people. We are not short of money!"
Looking like a rich man.
Sure enough, Zhao Hongjun immediately called the hotel front desk and asked them to contact the restaurant manager of the hotel to book the best private room and serve the best dishes!
“Not a single one of your Wanghailou’s signature dishes is missing! Also, give me a whole box of Maotai! No fake ones! I’m used to drinking Maotai. If you dare to buy fake Maotai, do I know you? Mayor Li, go to him with the fake wine and ask you to close the door immediately!”
“No, no, sir, our hotel is a foreign-related hotel, specializing in receiving foreign guests, and we will never serve fake wine! ." The other party quickly explained on the phone.
"That's good, go make a reservation now, and send the menu to room 808 when you're done!"
"Okay, sir."
Zhao Hongjun hung up the phone and said to the man sitting on the sofa Fang Minghua said: "Minghua, the wine table has been set and the guests will be seated. It's up to you." Don't do it the other way around," Fang Minghua corrected.
"I can't drink. Everything at the wine table depends on you. Drink them all!"
Damn it!
"I knew it earlier. Then you hired that female secretary to bring her. I heard she can drink." Fang Minghua said.
"Isn't it true? We can only make our great writer a little secret for a while." Zhao Hongjun chuckled.
At 6:20 in the evening, the two of them arrived at the private room they had reserved. It was luxuriously decorated and there were two beautiful waitresses in cheongsam.
The cheongsam is spread open, almost reaching the waist.
Don't tell me, the South is just a trap.
Look at Xijing.
Whether it is Xijing Restaurant or the Golden Flower Hotel, which has only been open for a few years, they are still wearing white shirts and red skirts, which are as earthy as they are earthy.
"Minghua, I'll go to the lobby to greet you." Zhao Hongjun turned around and walked out the door.
Fang Minghua did not move, sitting casually on the sofa next to him, drinking tea leisurely.
Everything about Wanghailou is good, but the tea is really not that good.
Not long after, I heard footsteps coming from outside the door. Fang Minghua motioned to the waitress to open the door. Several people walked in. Walking at the front was a middle-aged man in his early forties. Heihei is thin and thin, followed closely by Zhao Hongjun.
It should be Hong Shouxiang, the president of Hainan Publishing House.
"Hello, President Hong." Fang Minghua smiled and extended his right hand.
"Hello, Editor Fang." Hong Shouxiang smiled and shook hands: "I have heard of your name for a long time, and I saw you today. You are indeed young and promising." "No, you are too polite."
Following Zhao Hongjun is Ye Weilin, who already knows each other so there is no need to be too polite. Following closely behind is a young man who looks to be less than thirty years old.
“This is Su Bin, deputy director of our editorial office. He once served as deputy director of the editorial office at Xiang Provincial People’s Publishing House and is a leader of our publishing house!” Hong Shouxiang introduced with a smile.
"Hello, Editor Fang." Su Bin held Fang Minghua's hand.
"Hello, Director Su, please sit inside." Fang Minghua replied.
Su Bin looks like an unattractive person and is not very familiar to most people, but he is the chief producer of the famous TV series "Yongzheng Dynasty"!
It was he who bought the rights to adapt this novel from Er Yuehe, raised funds, and finally put it on the screen, which eventually became a hit.
In the 1990s, a strange book was written by Negroponte, a professor at MIT in the United States: "Digital Survival", which he also urged to introduce when he was the deputy editor-in-chief of Hainan Publishing House. , became all the rage.
It can be seen that he has a keen eye for pearls.
And that set of "Dragon Ball".
After the two shook hands, walking at the end was a man who looked very gentle and elegant, wearing glasses.
"Hello, Editor Fang, I am Han Shaogong." The man introduced himself.
Han Shaogong? !
This is a great man.
In 1985, he wrote a novella "Daddy", and since then he has raised the banner of "root-seeking literature" and devoted himself to the exploration of traditional consciousness and national cultural psychology.
From this perspective, Mo Yan’s novels also belong to the category of “root-seeking literature”.
Why did he come to Hainan?
Fang Minghua was a little confused.
That’s right!
This guy resigned and came to Hainan. He became one of the thousands of people who ventured into the sea. It seems that he also opened a very awesome magazine in Hainan.
But Fang Minghua forgot the name of the magazine.
Of course, these thoughts in my mind happened in an instant. Fang Minghua immediately held the other person's hand enthusiastically: "Hello, Writer Han! I have heard your name for a long time, but I didn't expect to see you here."
"Haha, I didn't expect that Hainan is indeed a hot land that attracted us all here." Han Shaogong said.
Everyone laughed after hearing this.
Actually, it is true if you think about it.
The six people who came to eat today, except Hong Shouxiang, are from the local area, Fang Minghua and the others are from Qin Province, and Han Shaogong and the other three are all from Hunan Province!
Everyone sat down. Ye Weilin and Hong Shouxiang were both older. They were surrounded by everyone and sat at the top. Fang Minghua and Zhao Hongjun sat on both sides, and Su Bin and Han Shaogong sat at the bottom.
When everyone is gathered, let’s start the banquet.
The dishes at Wanghailou are really good. Coconut cup, vegetarian pot, and roasted fish maw are all representative of Hainan Qiong cuisine. Fresh and refreshing, moderately hot and sour.
Of course don’t forget to drink.
Hong Shouxiang had served as a soldier and worked as a screenwriter. He had a good drinking capacity, and the three people from Hunan Province were even better drinkers. It didn't take long for him to finish two bottles of Maotai.
The waitress opened the third bottle and was about to pour the wine, but Zhao Hongjun took the bottle. Of course, he did not forget about business. He personally filled Hong Shouxiang's glass with wine and asked: "President Hong, I What do you think about the matter you mentioned? "
Hong Shouxiang drank and said, "Mr. Zhao, your idea is very good, I agree! It's a win-win situation. As for how we can cooperate, we can take it later. Let me give you a suggestion.”
“What suggestion?”
“Just move your company to Hainan!”
