Little Life on An American Ranch
Chapter 439: Each has its own suffering
Chapter 439 Each has its own suffering
Jian Heng took out the photo from his mobile phone, showed it to Professor Guan, and then talked about his thoughts.
When the wretched Professor Guan saw the picture, he seemed a bit serious. While listening to Jian Heng talking about his request, he couldn't stop humming in response.
But after Jian Heng finished talking about the request, Professor Guan immediately returned to his flattering appearance just now, making Jian Heng feel a little confused, wondering if this person has learned to change his face.
Besides, Professor Guan also has a special name: Guan Sheng. Are you familiar? It has the same name as Guan Sheng, the big sword in Water Margin, and also claims to be a descendant of Guan Yu.
I don’t know whether Erye Guan will not be able to hold the coffin board if he knows that there are such descendants.
At this moment, He Ye opened the door and walked in.
"Yo, you are all here".
As soon as He Ye entered the door, Professor Guan stood up from the chair after a while, stretched out his hand and bent slightly, as if he was a dog leg to meet the leader, wishing to bow his waist to He Ye's belly go below.
"Mr. He, Mr. He, long time no see."
He Ye was quite helpless when he saw Professor Guan's appearance. He shook hands with Professor Guan but smiled wryly at Jian Heng.
Jian Heng saw that people stood up at such an age, and it was not good for him to just sit down like this, and also stood up.
However, he didn't shake hands with He Ye. For the relationship between the two, this kind of politeness is a bit redundant, and today is not a formal occasion, so he waited for Professor Guan to let go of his hand. Butt sat down again.
After He Ye sat down, he called the waiter into the room and ordered dishes. Jian Heng could eat anything, so he was free, and Professor Guan was also free here, and there were no taboos, so He Ye didn't hesitate to do it for him.
When Jian Heng heard the dishes ordered by He Ye, he suddenly felt that the taste was not right today. If it is a normal meal, He Ye always ordered refined dishes. The ingredients do not have to be refined, but this time, it is either Aolong or Xiangxiang. Clams, or Kobe beef from Australia.
As for why I order Australian beef, it is because Japanese Kobe beef is not imported into China at all. Most of the Wagyu beef eaten in China is Australian Wagyu beef, which is either pretending to be Japanese Kobe beef or smuggled over. What's more, the quality of the smuggled ones is not guaranteed, so the serious restaurants here are all Australian Wagyu beef instead of Japanese Kobe beef.
Anyway, the six dishes ordered by the three of them all have one thing in common, that is, they are famous, famous and expensive.
"Have you discussed your matter with Professor Guan?" He Ye put down the menu, signaled the waiter to go down, poured himself a cup of tea in his hand, and asked Jian Heng.
Without waiting for Jian Heng to answer, Professor Guan said: "We have talked about it just now. Mr. Jian has a very good idea. Building Chinese-style buildings in the United States can be regarded as promoting Chinese culture. This is obviously a gratifying thing. !...Mr. Jian is considered a model in the business world, if every businessman has Mr. Jian's awareness, why worry about Chinese culture not flourishing!"
Jian Heng blushed a little when Professor Guan said this. Originally, he was planning to take advantage of Laomei's curiosity about Chinese culture to fool a bunch of Yankees. The final goal was to promote Chinese culture or Chinese food. Can't be wrong, but the main purpose is still very simple and straightforward, that is: to make money!
Who knew that when it came into Professor Guan's mouth, it immediately became a bit noble. In the end, the big hat of Chinese cultural renaissance was planted on Jian Heng's forehead, which can be said to be quite shameless, and there is no bottom line.
"I don't dare to take it, it looks too high on me." Jian Heng waved his hand quickly and said.
"You deserve it!" Professor Guan's face straightened. Although the old man wanted to be straight, his appearance and demeanor reminded Jian Heng of an idiom: bathing a monkey and getting crowned.
As the saying goes, even wearing a dragon robe is a beggar, but it is not that material.
He Ye couldn't stand Professor Guan's shameless sycophantic attitude, so he directly changed the topic: "Professor Guan, how is the restoration of the ancient building now, and where is the progress?"
"Where can we go? I'm short of money, I want the province to invest, but the province says there is no money, and the boss can't vote. The boss wants to invest but they want benefits. That place is a national-level cultural relic protection unit. It’s not even allowed to drive a nail into a pillar. How could it be possible for the bosses to use it to make money? Now it’s wasted after two strikes. Anyway, the province said to give money, but it’s not enough for one time. It’s piecemeal. Today One hundred thousand, seventy or eighty thousand tomorrow, or else I wouldn’t be able to take over Boss Jane’s business, anyway, the workers are idle now, so I’m just doing it for everyone’s benefit…”
"Oh! This matter is quite troublesome," He Ye said.
Professor Guan said: "Boss He is going to invest a little?"
He Ye quickly waved his hands and said, "I can't go into that bottomless pit. I plan to live for two more years. Don't hurt me."
Hearing what He Ye said, Professor Guan also laughed.
After chatting for a while, the food was served, and the three of them were talking about things while eating. The main thing was that Professor Guan talked about the cost of design and construction, and the materials were required to be processed in China and packaged for shipment. to America. Hearing Professor Guan say such words can help his workers earn some extra money.
As for Jian Heng, who is exploiting or not, he doesn't think too much about it. The only thing that is certain is that China's labor force is far lower than that of the United States. Whether it is efficiency or hard work, Jian Heng originally tended to do it in China, and now he just agreed. Professor Guan's request.
Jian Heng gave a very good price for all expenses, and Professor Guan naturally had nothing to say. He patted his chest and said that he would definitely give this job to Jian Heng to do it beautifully.
When there is no silence for a meal, one and a half hours, the three of them can be considered full. Professor Guan invites the two to go to karaoke or something. Where are He Ye and Jian Heng interested? He Ye's side I made a phone call directly, booked a private room and sent Professor Guan over there.
There are people paying the bill and there are all kinds of services. How can Professor Guan be polite, and he didn't think of paying for it himself when he first proposed it, so when He Ye took the big package, Professor Guan pretended to shirk a few words of interest Bobo went by himself.
Waiting for Professor Guan to leave, Jian Heng asked He Ye: "Why do I think you are unreliable in introducing this person this time? Look at who they are, and the professor is just a pure boy." Calling beasts, calling beasts!"
He Ye said to Jian Heng: "You are dogmatic again. Academics and morals are separated. There are not many so-called masters with both ability and political integrity in any industry. Most of them are not A vulgar person who eats and drinks! I know the kind of master you mentioned, do you live in someone else’s house? Let me tell you, people don’t even look at us two juniors!"
"Tsk! I'm a little messed up in the wind." Jian Heng was right when he heard this explanation. How can a master who is proud of his talents bend his waist for five buckets of rice.
"Don't look at Laoguan like this, he still has a lot of goods in his stomach. Apart from his character, he is still very good at professionally. And as long as you pay enough money, the matter will be settled for sure. You have done a good job, you can spend money to buy worry-free, and it is considered pretty good in the market now. Let me tell you, there is a man who makes ancient buildings, coaxing a local boss, 30 million luxury decorations made of mahogany. Less than three years after it was finished, it was repaired almost every year, and hundreds of thousands were deducted from the boss a year, do you think this is troublesome?" He Ye said, knocking on the table in front of him.
"Old Guan is much better than this kind of person, but the old man does have a lot of problems. He is rich and lustful, and he even flirts with female students from time to time, but he is not like that chapter. He didn't care about it, and he didn't take revenge, and he turned his face to find money and flattered the rich boss, so the old man's reputation in school is okay," He Ye said again.
"I'm going!" Jian Heng felt that another wall of the university in his heart had collapsed.
I don't want to talk about this troublesome thing anymore, so Jian Heng asked: "Let me tell you about the happy event, and I gave me two license plates all at once."
"My dad praised me," He Ye said happily.
Pfft!
Jian Heng almost sprayed a mouthful of tea on He Ye's body when he heard it, covered his mouth, and sprayed half of the tea on his hands.
Wipe your hands with a wet towel at hand: "That's all?"
Being praised by his own father deserves such joy, Jian Heng suddenly didn't know what to say about He Ye.
He Ye saw Jian Heng's performance, and he also understood: This child from an ordinary family is not like him. He has seen his father's majestic face since he was a child, and he has the air of a high-ranking mayor.
This matter cannot be discussed together, the younger brothers can naturally find other topics, and after chatting for more than an hour, the two brothers broke up.
