Chen Li was also thinking of sending two little girls, Zhao Chen and Ye Nanjia, to go out to buy vegetables and cook. When he called, he found out that the two girls had finally had three days off and were not idle. He had already asked his classmates to visit Huangdi Temple early in the morning.

Chen Li spread his hands towards Qiu Ning and said, "I haven't planned it successfully. The two girls have already asked their classmates to sneak out - by the way, I still remember who made a bet and cheated, and insisted on using a treat instead of taking off my clothes. Do you still remember this?"

Xiang Qiuning saw Chen Li’s old story again and gave him a look. It was a rare holiday and she didn’t want to go back to the company to have a work meal. However, when she gave the nanny a holiday, she wouldn’t go back to her residence to handle pots and pans, lifted up the ends of her hair hanging down in her ears, and said, “Forget it, I’ll treat you. Although I have been to Shangdu for more than a year, I’m really not familiar with Shangdu. What restaurants do you recommend?”

"Okay, you are not afraid of being sold by me, just follow me." Chen Li watched bus No. 222 swaying from the intersection, led Xiang Qiuning to run and jump out of the pedestrian bridge, and jumped on bus No. 222 panting.

Although it was only ten o'clock in the morning, the buses passing through Jinghai Road were already quite crowded. A passenger got off and asked Chen Li to grab a seat and let Xiang Qiuning sit down.

When we arrived at the next stop, another wave of people came on board, squeezing the bus even more, and half-sided towards Qiu Ning, allowing Chen Li to stand in the gap between the two rows of seats in front and back, so that he would not feel uncomfortable with others.

The bus was air conditioned and the sun shone in, making the car even warmer. After passing through the University of Finance and Economics, Chen Li looked at the green maple treetops with bleak branches and leaves, and was ecstatic. Xiang Qiuning thought Chen Li was looking at the Qingquan Hao Courtyard in the distance.

There are many evergreen trees planted in Qingquan Haoting. Even in the cold winter of grass and trees, looking into that corner, it is still full of green, and the winter in Shangdu is even more eye-catching.

The cast iron fence and the wall columns are wrapped in light yellow granite slabs. A pine tree, which is 17 or 800,000 meters tall, is picked out from the courtyard wall, showing the unique quality of Qingquan Haoting.

The bus turned around the corner, and someone pointed at Qingquan Haoting in the distance and discussed it, sighing that if you can own a house there, maybe your life can be considered a small achievement in the business capital.

Xiang Qiuning hugged the plastic bag in front of his chest. Seeing that Chen Li was still looking out the window attentively, he noticed that Chen Li's gaze was actually stuck in the green maple forest at the University of Finance and Economics. He was puzzled, what was there worth Chen Li's gaze?

The No. 222 bus left the Jinghai Road business district with dense traffic and started to pull up from south to north along Fumin Road. I don’t know if the road had just dug up the repair line or underground pipeline. The driver didn’t realize that the bus rushed over without slowing down, and half of the bus was almost knocked to the ground.

Chen Li was also out of control. He hit Xiang Qiuning's body and did not fall. However, his knee hit the outside of Xiang Qiuning's thigh, and Xiang Qiuning grinned in pain.

"Is it okay?" Chen Li asked.

"Your bones are too hard, and you probably have my thighs bruised," Xiang Qiu clamped for a while before it hurts so much. He asked, "The buses in Shangdu are all driving so hard?"

Chen Li smiled and said, "The driver of bus No. 222 is not the most brutal. From the University of Finance and Economics to the No. 58 bus from the University of Finance and Economics, especially when two buses rush to enter the station to compete for passengers, that is called a deadly soul-chasing car. Just three months ago, I took it once. There were three students sitting in the back row. The driver suddenly braked when he passed the Forestry University. The three students fell directly from the back row to the front window glass of the car. The driver looked innocent and told them, "If you want to get off the bus, just say it, don't jump over in such a hurry and tell him..."

Xiang Qiuning covered her mouth and was laughing, but she didn't expect the bus to hit another gap. The body of the car suddenly paused. She rushed forward inertially, subconsciously hugged Chen Li's thighs, and did not fall out from the side.

"Okay, I'll let you use my thigh as a handrail." Chen Li said with a smile.

Xiang Qiuning was always embarrassed to say that Chen Li put his cell phone in his pocket, causing her chest to hurt, but he couldn't rub it. He glanced at Chen Li, suspected that this kid had any intention and deliberately took her to take this bus.

When the bus arrived at the station, Chen Li led Xiang Qiuning into an alley with old-style houses on both sides, and picked a small shop with greasy appearance and walked in.

Chen Li was used to eating in such a small place, so he pulled a chair and sat down, looked at Qiu Ning at the greasy tabletop, and thought of pulling a few tissues to wipe it.

"Mr. Xiang, do you feel a little uncomfortable? However, the food that Shangdu is truly worthy of nostalgia is often in these fly restaurants..." Chen Li said with a smile.

The Xiang family is a big family. Even when the domestic economy was in trouble in the 1970s and 1980s, Xiang Qiuning's life was rich. He went abroad to study early. He was really unfamiliar with the narrow flies restaurant. He looked around curiously at the decorations that were old and smoked.

It was not yet eleven o'clock, and there were very few people in the store. A young woman in her early thirties and pretty looks seemed to be the owner, and was wiping the table quickly. The young woman was wearing a tight cashmere sweater and an apron in the store. From the back, her waist was the waist and her butt was the butt, and her figure looked very good.

"You like this place, because you see the beautiful boss here, right?" Xiang Qiuning looked at Chen Li and asked in a voice.

Chen Li smiled. When Zhou Bin first fell in love with this restaurant, he did see that the boss lady was a rare little jasper. But after eating it a few times, he found that the stove-pot chicken here is indeed a masterpiece, and it is the only few small restaurants in Shangdu that Chen Li missed.

Chen Li ordered a stupid chicken stew pot, corn cake, and refreshing side dishes along the pot, then lit a cigarette and asked Xiang Qiuning if he wanted some wine.

"You drink, I feel sleepy as soon as I drink." Xiang Qiuning said.

"If you can drink, drink less," Chen Li said. "The green plum wine in this restaurant is brewed by home. Unlike other stores, green plum wine is soaked and has a different taste. If Zhou Bin hadn't looked too naughty and had a very obvious intention to go over and chat with him, we could almost have put out the recipe for brewing and brewing green plum wine ourselves."

"..." Xiang Qiuning didn't believe that the green plum wine in this restaurant was as mysterious as Chen Li said, so she also asked Chen Li to order a glass of bulk green plum wine.

The wood below makes fire, and the iron pot quickly boils. It is originally cooked chicken pieces, and it can be eaten directly after boiling in the pot. At this time, the aroma is steamed, and it seems that the aroma can help people open up their appetite.

"It smells really good," Xiang Qiuning sniffed the straight nose, picked up a piece of chicken with chopsticks and blew it twice, put it in her mouth, it was tender and delicious and very strong, a little hot. She drank another sip of green plum wine. The sweet wine wrapped around the chicken, and the texture was extremely rich, so she couldn't help but praise, "This wine is also good."

Looking at Qiu Ning and lowered his head and drank a big sip of wine. Chen Li was startled and hurriedly stopped her and said, "This wine is good, but it is also forty degrees. Please take it easy. If you drink it hard all of a sudden, you would think I have any intentions for you."

Xiang Qiuning was startled, but at the end of the drink, he felt that the wine was so delicious. He couldn't help but drink two glasses, almost half a pound, before he blushed and put down the wine glass. He looked at Chen Li jealously while drinking wine while eating chicken: "I really envy you who have a lot of alcohol and can drink happily."

"If you are not afraid that I will be ill-treated to you, you can drink another glass," Chen Li said. "But this is homemade wine. If you still have too much alcohol, you will still have a headache if you drink too much - I can't rest now, otherwise I'll find someone to make a purification process to make green plum wine."

Xiang Qiuning also inevitably had a lot of social engagements. He didn't like the feeling of a hangover, and felt a little drunk. He endured and did not continue drinking. He listened to Chen Li talking nonsense there, but he didn't know why he was young and had so many things in his mind. He seemed to have a deep study of brewing wine. He urged Chen Li to make a private cellar and drink it himself. She could also get a few bottles of high-end private brewing drinks.

After buying the order, walking out of the alley, letting the cold wind blow, the alcohol awakens a lot. Xiang Qiuning regrets not drinking another glass of wine, and asks Chen Li: "I plan to officially open the 12 high-rise residential buildings in the west district of Nanhua New City in March and April after the New Year. Do you have any good suggestions?"

"You Nanhua Group is full of talents, so you need to ask for my opinion?" Chen Li asked with a smile.

Although Nanhua Group invests in Xinchaorui Real Estate and will also cooperate intensively with Xinchaorui Real Estate in new home sales, the specific sales plan is still dominated by the marketing department within Nanhua Group. Chen Li believes that Xiang Qiuning and the others should have a mature plan long ago, and they will be fully spread out when the time is right. He needs to argue with it.

"Isn't the opening of Xinrui City aroused the appetite of many people?" Xiang Qiuning glanced at Chen Li and said, "We are actually quite controversial about how to price. Xinrui City has sold for 4,000 yuan in the first phase. After half a year of precipitation and brewing, and with the golden position of our Nanhua New City, some people think that we have to be a little higher than Xinrui City, but some people think that it is more conservative. After all, it is not like Xinrui City, where there are so many advantages to take."

"We are also investing real gold and silver. Where can we take advantage of whom?" Chen Li said injustice, "You are clearly relieved when you have successfully opened the market. It's hard to say who can take advantage of whom!"

Xiang Qiuning smiled sweetly, thinking about it, she was also under great pressure when she just arrived at Shangdu to be responsible for such a large project. After all, they developed high-rise residential buildings in Shangdong. After calculating the cost of land, finance, taxation, operation, etc., the construction cost of a new house per square meter must be about 2,500. At present, the profit ratio of large-scale projects under Nanhua Group is about 20%. In other words, if the price of new houses in Nanhua New City cannot be stable at more than 3,000, it cannot be considered successful in Shangdu.

Those voices within the company who think that she was able to get a higher position by relying on her blood relationship might become louder again.

It was precisely because Xinrui City successfully opened the market, stabilizing the housing prices in the core area of ​​Shangdong to around 4,000, and she completely relieved the pressure on her body. However, she enjoyed the pleasure brought by her work during this period.

At this point, she was very grateful and admired Chen Li in her heart. She also unknowingly, her prejudice against Chen Li was eliminated.

"After all, Zhongyuan Province is located in the inland area, and citizens do not accept elevator apartments with large public areas. I think it is better to be a little conservative in the early pricing strategy..." Xiang Qiuning followed Chen Li to the bus stop and told Chen Li some of her thoughts.

Walking to the bus stop, Chen Li asked Xiang Qiuning: "Do you want to experience the crazy No. 58?"

Xiang Qiuning's eyes lit up, and then shook his head, saying, "The company has some things in the afternoon, and I will go and experience it next time I have the chance."

…………

Chen Li returned to the company, picked up the design sketch sent by the head of the product research and development department in the morning, looked at it for a few seconds, put it aside, and called the department staff to a meeting.

Recently, Chen Li has been dissatisfied with the design of Qingquan Xinrui City, but he has been busy with the product R&D department and has published several drafts in succession, but it has not made Chen Li look at it.

Yan Qiwei, the leader of the second group of the product R&D department, looked like he had stayed up late to work overtime recently, holding black-framed glasses and said, "Mr. Chen, have you read the design draft that was placed on your desk in the morning? This is the draft jointly planned by our design company that cooperated with Xiushishan Xinrui City."

"Well, I saw some!" Chen Li nodded and continued: "In the overall design of the garden residential community, Times Design Company can barely meet the standards. The draft you issued in the morning can be used for the construction of a 700-acre garden-style community that started construction first. However, there are 40 high-rise and super-high-rise buildings around the Central Business District of Qingquan Xinrui City, which covers high-rise residential buildings and high-end office buildings. They cannot be completely isolated from each other and remain independent. Our product research and development department and Times Design Company do not have rich experience, so you can't blame you. I asked you to contact a foreign design company. How did you contact?"

"That's right, Mr. Chen, I entrusted my colleagues to contact Diffie Design Company in the UK, but the other party seemed unwilling to contact us. We faxed the information, but the other party did not come up with the draft, but directly faxed a quotation." Yan Qiwei said, and nervously handed a piece of information to Chen Li.

"Ha, the total contract fee is 300 million yuan, and it is also required to pay a deposit of 100 million yuan before the overall plan is issued. They are quite confident in themselves!" Chen Li opened the information, and the first page was the quotation table faxed, and the conference room suddenly became turbulent.

Chen Li remained silent and continued to look through the information.

According to the information, Diffie Design Company was established in 1863 and has a century-old history. It has presided over the design of many national-level buildings in the UK. It is the top architectural design company in the UK. It not only engages in architectural design, but also in decoration design. The Royal Opera House and the late-stage buildings of the British Museum are all famous works of this Diffie Company.

"No matter how much the other party quotes, can we talk or talk? During the process of talking, we can also attract the other party's ideas - the other party will not be unwilling to contact us, right?" Chen Li put down the information and asked Yan Qiwei, who was more workaholic than himself.

"They are not very willing to contact us. I invited them to send employees to China to see the field, but they all refused. I guess they don't believe that we can afford such high quotations, but they may also be worried that China cannot accept advanced foreign design concepts." Yan Qiwei said with a smile.

"You contact them again. If possible, you can accompany me to the UK. It is best to have an interview." Chen Li said with a gentle finger on the table.

"We won't really pay 300 million to buy their plan, right?" Yan Qiwei felt unbelievable. "At this time, looking at the whole country, there is no such price; even the total design fee for Nanhua New City is only 50 million."

"Whether they are worth the price, they always have to contact us before they know..." Chen Li said with a smile.
