Chapter 1022 Song Lixing's Vision
Wangfujing Yangjiayan's main store is also the first restaurant of Yangjiayan. At present, eating at Yangjiayan in China has become a slightly high-end consumption behavior.
Just like many people now feel that foreign things are good, and then they seem particularly petty bourgeoisie to go to a western restaurant to eat steak. In short, when you come to Yangjiayan for dinner, you not only enjoy the food, but also a very satisfying sense of vanity.
For example, the oldest restaurant of Yangjiayan in front of you, because there are many old houses around, the store area is not large and the alley is too narrow for vehicles to enter.
You must find a place to park at a distance intersection, and then walk over. If it were other restaurants, I'm afraid the business would have gone out long ago. After all, people nowadays like convenience. It's better to find a restaurant nearby than to have such a hassle to have a meal.
But it's different when you come to Yangjiayan. Normally, you go so far to eat. Although you tell your friends that it's because the restaurant is delicious, some people will still doubt whether you are short of money, so you find a remote restaurant to eat to save some money.
But if you say you are going to Yangjiayan for dinner, you will instantly be full of style. Especially if you can book a seat at the old restaurant, it is even more amazing. You know, there are many people who are not short of money now, and some people really subscribe for dinner throughout the year.
Anyway, in addition to the special flavors of each restaurant, other dishes of Yangjiayan are rotated and you won’t get tired of them. If you think about it this way, it is really cost-effective to subscribe for the whole year.
Song Lixing knew about Yangjiayan, but he had never come here to consume. I don’t know when it started, and he can’t remember whether there was really a conflict or just some small misunderstandings.
His relationship with Yang Dongxu gradually became antagonistic. Although for the time being, both sides are unhappy with each other, but it has not reached the point of life and death. But it is obviously impossible to eat in the restaurant opened by Yang Dongxu.
Not only him, but also people in his entire small circle have no one who comes to Yangjiayan to consume. This is like Li Yihang and others never go to the club they run.
There are many circles like this in Yanjing. Although they have inextricable connections with each other privately, after all, in the same city, who doesn't have a few friends of friends, but on the surface they keep a clear distance.
This phenomenon is summarized as avoiding "kings meeting kings", just like the two queens of the current music scene, Faye Wong and Tian Zhen, rarely perform on the same stage. Not to mention participating in any activities together, otherwise the C position issue alone is enough to make people headache and upset.
So it makes sense for the leaders of these circles not to meet. After all, everyone has similar energy. If they get into trouble over a small matter when they meet, it's not worth it to fight, and it feels embarrassing not to fight.
And under this default rule, Song Lixing suddenly took the initiative to meet Yang Dongxu, which was undoubtedly ready to put down his face. Although it is definitely not to the point of putting his face on the ground for Yang Dongxu to step on, it is certain that he will be hit invisibly.
Song Lixing could already imagine in his mind what those gossipers would say when he took the initiative to invite Yang Dongxu to dinner tomorrow and arranged to meet at Yang's banquet.
However, when he saw Hong Changzhi, who was following him, with an expression that he was so moved by his willingness to die, he felt that it was worth losing this little face.
Hong Changzhi was a good dog, especially since this dog, in addition to being obedient and loyal, had caught rabbits for the Song family over the years. Sometimes it's good to give him some rewards at the right time, especially since he doesn't have the final say in the Song family now, and it's not certain who will have the final say in the future.
At this time, being able to win over someone who can do things is also a leisurely move in boredom. As for face, he actually wanted to see what kind of face Yang Dongxu would have when he came over later.
"What do you want to eat, Mr. Song? The Anhui cuisine in this restaurant is the most authentic. Do you want to order a few signature dishes to try?" The appointment time hadn't arrived yet, so Yang Dongxu hadn't come yet, but Song Lixing came early. So Li Yihang, who also arrived early, was responsible for the reception.
Yang Dongxu can't come on time, even though Song Lixing seems to be the middleman for Yang Dongxu's dinner, and the other party seems to be asking him to do something.
After so many years of ups and downs, Li Yihang feels that he is lucky to meet Yang Dongxu. What makes him feel the most improved in these years is that he has seen himself clearly, or understands that his status and position are at that level.
So even if Song Lixing asks him to do something, he can't show any face, after all, he doesn't have the qualifications. He should still smile when he should smile, so as not to end up not getting any favors after working hard, but offending others.
"You can take care of it, but Young Master Yang hasn't come yet, so it's not appropriate to order food now, right?" The smile on Song Lixing's face makes people feel very approachable.
But such an approachable smile, but the words are not so pleasant. If it really feels impolite, then it should be put in front of "Young Master Yang hasn't come yet, so it's not appropriate to order food now, right?"
This slightly inquiring and polite words are put in front, but let Li Yihang order food first, and then say this sentence, what does this mean?
"It's okay. I often get together with Young Master Yang. I know what he eats. And some dishes take time to prepare. It's just right for Young Master Yang to come over earlier." Li Yihang said with a smile without changing his expression.
He didn't seem to feel that there was anything wrong with Song Lixing's words.
"Then you can just watch it." Song Lixing nodded calmly, as if it was just a trivial matter that he didn't care about.
"Okay, I'll have some." Li Yihang no longer refused, "I wonder if Mr. Song has any dietary restrictions?"
"No dietary restrictions, just order according to your taste, I'm not picky about food." Song Lixing waved his hand to indicate that he didn't care.
But when he spoke, his eyes couldn't help but stay on Li Yihang's face for a moment. He knew about Li Yihang, but the Song family is now in its heyday, while the Li family declined in the previous generation.
Before, Li Yihang had almost tossed them away. So he didn't care much about Li Yihang. He knew that it was because Yang Dongxu's sudden rise was too conspicuous, which made outsiders start to pay attention to who was around him, and Song Lixing barely paid attention to Li Yihang.
After all, although Li Yihang has been shaking up in recent years thanks to Yang Dongxu, the originally half-dead villa is now one of the gathering places of the top circles in Yanjing, attracting the attention of many people. Many minor characters are proud to be able to enter the villa, and many people who want to find connections are trying their best to attend the villa's gatherings.
But these are just like that for Song Lixing, just listen to a few words in front of the excitement, the two sides are not on the same level at all.
But after meeting Li Yihang today, he found that this person is still a little interesting. For example, this person is very particular about speaking, not only did he not fall into the pit he dug.
The latter question was very concerned about his thoughts, so that the things that should have offended him to save Yang Dongxu's face did not make him feel uncomfortable. This is undoubtedly a talent.
This made him a little more interested in Li Yihang, "I heard that you have made the Internet Cafe Alliance business good in recent years?"
Li Yihang showed a little surprise on his face, and seemed to be a little excited that a young man like Song Lixing took the initiative to ask about his business. Even though Song Lixing is actually ten years younger than the others.
"It's okay, just barely making a living, and the small fights should not be in the eyes of Young Master Song." Li Yihang said with a smile.
"You make more than 1 billion this year. If you do this on a small scale, there will be no profitable business in the world." Hong Changzhi, who had been sitting aside and had not spoken, said.
In fact, he knew that he was here to ask for help today, so he should not be too confrontational. Of course, he did not speak because he saw Song Lixing was interested in Li Yihang. As a loyal dog, he was jealous. Such childish ideas would not appear in him. Otherwise, he, a rural kid with no identity and no background, would not have achieved what he has now.
The reason why he said something to Li Yihang was because he had noticed the amazing speed of Internet cafes making money before. And he also invested a part of the capital to try the water first, but the result was naturally squeezed out by Li Yihang without any hesitation.
What made him even more depressed was that not only was his business squeezed out by Li Yihang, but he was also warned by many people, both openly and secretly. And if these people who warned him were people in Yang Dongxu's circle, they would definitely beat them up before they said anything.
But some of those who warned him were actually people from his own circle. It was then that Hong Changzhi realized that the seemingly calm Internet Cafe Alliance actually had such a relationship in private.
"Total amount, total amount, I only have a little share in it, and the other shareholders are busy people who don't bother to deal with such trivial matters. I help manage the company. If all this money is really mine, then I will definitely wake up with laughter in my sleep." Li Yihang still had a lot of smiles on his face.
And Song Lixing, who was standing aside, couldn't help showing a little surprise on his originally calm face after hearing that the Internet cafe, which he didn't care about very much, made a profit of more than 10 billion yuan a year. Although it was quickly covered up, it was indeed revealed.
But what he didn't know was that this so-called total amount was not the whole of this industry. This was just the money earned by the Internet Cafe Alliance.
Looking at the Internet cafe industry across the country, this is a large enterprise with tens of billions or even hundreds of billions. Whoever has the ability to integrate the Internet cafe into his own hands will definitely be able to eat until he is full.
However, people who don't know this industry don't know about this amazing market cake, otherwise they will definitely be shocked.
Since Song Lixing and Hong Changzhi, who half understand it, don't know, Li Yihang naturally won't explain it to them.
Order the dishes first.
Then the three of them sat in the private room and chatted a few meaningless words. The door of the private room was opened by the waiter and Yang Dongxu walked in.
