Chapter 334 Son-in-law comes to visit
In the evening, Gu Ming drove a 1-liter minivan from the branch and went out.
It is said that this van is a veteran contributor to the group-building and university town promotion plan, and has made great achievements for the entire team.
I remember that the group buying market in the university town was still in chaos and divided between different factions. Suddenly one day, a truckload of breadmen came down, one in each hand, and the place changed its owner.
Later, for a period of time, some local promotion teams 1 couldn't help but want to run away when they saw the same type of van, and they even felt like unlicensed traders seeing the urban management.
Gu Ming drove the chariot to the entrance of a shopping mall. He went in and walked around twice, but he had no idea what to buy.
The Zhou family is a wealthy family and probably lacks everything. Jewelry and other items are probably hard to detect. As for tobacco and alcohol, Gu Ming doesn’t know much about this. He doesn’t know if it suits his taste, but this thing is too fake. many.
Why not buy something you like?
When the time comes, Zhou Xiaoyao's aunt will definitely say, "Why don't you bring a gift as a junior when you come to play at home? Take it back quickly, otherwise your aunt will be angry and won't let you come next time."
Reasonable, very reasonable.
But thinking this way, Gu Ming finally picked some donkey-hide gelatin, tea, etc., used Suixin Tuan's coupons to get a discount, and then drove towards Sheshan Manor with a bang of the bun.
At this time, Qin Jingqiu was receiving two relatives at home, a fat distant cousin named Zhang Meilan, and the distant cousin's son named Su Huiqiang.
In fact, Qin Jingqiu has only met them a few times, but it is definitely inappropriate not to entertain them if they come to their door.
Zhang Meilan's husband is in the wholesale business. He is not rich, but he is from a well-off family. Her son is currently studying at Shanghai Jiao Tong University.
In fact, Qin Jingqiu understood that her mother-in-law came here to recognize her during the summer vacation, and she also wanted to pave the way for her son. She had received many such relatives over the years, and she was no stranger to this kind of thing.
Su Huiqiang also majored in finance. Today, in order to meet the "big shot" in his mother's words, he even wore a suit and seemed to have an extraordinary conversation.
"Now that the domestic Internet economy is on the rise, Aunt Qin, I think you can invest in this industry."
"But you can't invest randomly. There are still many bubbles in this industry."
"Among so many Internet companies, I am most optimistic about Alibaba. I think this company is destined to do big things. After I finish school, I hope to work in Alibaba."
Listening to Su Huiqiang's words, Qin Jingqiu smiled and couldn't help but nod her head.
Zhang Meilan was also smiling happily at the side: "This kid has been very clear-minded since he was a child. His father and I are not very educated. Now we can't even understand him, so I can only chat with you for a few words."
"It's good. It's a good thing for young people to be more active in thinking. It's better than those who just study stupidly." Qin Jingqiu said very approvingly.
While they were talking, a jingling sound suddenly sounded from the door. The three people turned around and saw that a 1-meter minivan drove in.
When Zhang Meilan saw a young man wearing shorts and short sleeves getting out of the car, she couldn't help but feel a little surprised. She wondered why the delivery person didn't go through the back door, but came in through the front door.
"Aunt, long time no see." Gu Ming came over carrying something.
Qin Jingqiu suddenly smiled brightly: "You are such a busy person, why do you still want to come over and see me?"
"I just arrived in Shanghai yesterday. I rested in the hotel for a day and came over immediately without delay."
Zhang Meilan was a little surprised: "Who is this?"
Qin Jingqiu was stunned for a moment: "He..."
"They are relatives." Gu Ming opened his mouth and answered for Qin Jingqiu.
Qin Jingqiu felt that this expression was quite appropriate: "Yes, relative."
Zhang Meilan said oh after hearing this, thinking that she was probably a more distant relative than herself. Otherwise, with the power of the Qin family and the Zhou family, this person wouldn't have to drive a van to travel.
Qin Jingqiu also introduced Zhang Meilan and her son Su Huiqiang to Gu Ming, and then let them sit down first while she hurried to the second floor to call Zhou Shihua.
When a relative who you have never met even a few times comes to your home, you can just accept it yourself. There is no need for your husband to show up too.
But it was different when Gu Ming came. Rounding things off, this was equivalent to the first time the prospective son-in-law came to the door. It would be unethical for the father-in-law not to show up.
"Shihua, come out and meet people."
"I'm practicing my calligraphy. Wife, haven't we told you before that it's better for me not to show up in this situation, so that you won't be able to talk freely."
Qin Jingqiu glanced at him: "I'm not asking you to see my cousin-in-law, but Gu Ming is here."
"Gu Ming is here?" Zhou Shihua was stunned for a moment, then immediately put down his brush and walked out.
"You wait a moment."
"what happened?"
Qin Jingqiu looked at him: "Change into more formal clothes before going."
Zhou Shihua took a look at his clothes. Although they were very ordinary home casual clothes, they were not the same as those casual pajamas: "Isn't this good enough for me?"
"How can this be done? This is Gu Ming's first visit. You have to be straight with me no matter what."
"Our Xiaoyao is not married yet."
Qin Jingqiu pursed her lips: "That's because you were too busy during the Chinese New Year and didn't go to Wuhe with me. I guess Xiaoyao herself felt that she was already married."
After hearing this, Zhou Shihua had no choice but to change his clothes. He didn't know why he was still a little nervous: "Is this okay with me?"
"Okay, it's almost done." Qin Jingqiu adjusted his collar.
At the same time, in the reception room on the first floor, Gu Ming was sitting opposite Zhang Meilan and Su Huiqiang. He had no desire to talk and just kept looking at them.
To be honest, he has seen many villas, including Mr. Gao's home, but there are not many European-style buildings that he finds pleasing to the eye.
He was thinking about whether to give Zhang Fangsong and Professor Yan a set of this type. The two old men should be very happy.
In the eyes of the mother and son opposite, Gu Ming's image at this moment looked a bit like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden.
"Sheshan Manor is a European classical style building designed by Michael, an architectural master from Southern California. He is best at restoring the aristocratic temperament of European architectural style. This is his first work in our country."
Gu Ming was stunned for a moment and realized that the young man opposite was talking to him, so he said something awesome, but he couldn't help but mutter in his heart, thinking, isn't Michael a fucking dancer? Why went to build a house again?
Zhang Meilan, on the other hand, was smiling, a little proud of her son's erudition.
At this moment, Qin Jingqiu and Zhou Shihua came down from the second floor. They both changed their clothes and looked more formal than before.
Zhang Meilan felt a little flattered and hurried up to chat with Zhou Shihua.
Although Uncle Zhou Er didn't come here for these two girls, they were all gathered around and it was impossible not to talk to them, so Zhou Shihua started chatting with this distant cousin.
Of course, chatting is chatting, and his main task is to observe Gu Ming.
"Gu Ming, how did you get here?"
"Uncle, I drove here." Gu Ming pointed to his bun.
Zhou Shihua found it interesting: "How come you opened a bun and it came out?"
"This car is very nice. It also has air conditioning. It's very cool."
Hearing this, Su Huiqiang, who was next to him, couldn't hold it back and laughed, but he pretended to cough to cover it up, his expression as natural as ever.
Later, Qin Jingqiu invited them to the restaurant for dinner, and secretly told Gu Ming that the braised pork ribs made by their aunt were particularly delicious, and told him to eat more pieces.
After hearing this, Gu Ming repeatedly said yes, and also said that he would eat the little rich woman's portion for her, which made Qin Jingqiu very happy.
However, Qin Jingqiu's family usually only eats with the two of them, so there are only two chairs in the dining room. The best thing about Gu Ming is that he never regards himself as an outsider. When he sees that there are not enough chairs, he turns around and looks for chairs everywhere.
As a result, as soon as he moved one, Zhang Meilan reached out to take it, and then when he moved the second one, Su Hui forcefully took it.
It wasn't until Gu Ming moved the third person to sit down that Zhang Meilan showed a surprised expression, thinking that even such a relative who was neither salty nor bland could serve at the table. Her cousin was a bit too kind.
"Are you going to eat with us too?"
Su Huiqiang was just a college student and he didn't have any ideas. He was surprised and said it immediately.
Hearing these words, Qin Jingqiu's face changed instantly, and she was obviously a little annoyed. She thought to herself that you are the ones who are licking your face, okay? This is my son-in-law!
But before she could speak, Gu Ming had already sat upright: "I won't eat with you, I'll just eat some food. Auntie said the food is delicious, and I've lost weight recently and quit carbs."
Hearing this, Zhou Shihua was even more surprised by his prospective son-in-law. He didn't understand how this boy could speak so mellowly at such a young age, and his emotional intelligence was so high.
His words not only covered up the unscrupulous remarks of this distant relative and saved everyone's face, but also acted like he listened to his wife. It seemed that Xiaoyao had really found a treasure.
In fact, how could Gu Ming have such a good temper? It was purely because it was his first visit and he didn't want to leave a bad memory for the little rich woman's uncle and aunt, otherwise he would have gone back to the group group station to bring a cart of bread buns over. .
"Gu Ming, how is your market doing now?"
"Currently, we are focusing on 23rd-tier cities. The first-tier cities have been hit too hard. I have no plans to get involved yet."
Hearing the sudden chat between Zhou Shihua and Gu Ming, Su Huiqiang was stunned for a moment, his eyes a little blank.
Zhou Shihua spoke again at this time: "I have also been paying attention to this industry recently. The competition in first-tier cities is indeed crazy."
"Uncle, you won't be crazy for long. If there is no progress by the end of the year at the latest, small capital will not be able to bear it. After all, except for professional industry promoters, most investors still hope that they can see considerable profits in a short period of time." roi’s.”
Gu Ming put down his chopsticks: "If you keep burning money without seeing results? Who would be willing to throw it in? How can the capital market keep letting consumers take advantage?"
Su Huiqiang pursed his lips after hearing roi, knowing that the Chinese name for this word is return on investment.
Feng Shihua glanced at Gu Ming: "You mean, this farce will end by the end of the year?"
"No, by the end of the year, useless websites and small capital with weak resistance will be kicked out, and the Internet giants will be replaced. Each will choose a horse to decide the outcome, and this battlefield will not be limited to one city, but It’s the whole country.”
"Are you so sure?"
Gu Ming nodded: "The most popular website in Shanghai right now is called Suixin Tuan. It received a financing of US$5 million in May this year. I checked the background of that venture capital company and found that it has many connections with Alibaba." wisps of connection.”
Qin Jingqiu couldn't help but say: "Ali only offered 5 million to prevent Suixin Tuan from losing or winning. In fact, he wanted to attract more capital and use everyone's power to make the market bigger."
"Auntie is right, so starting from the end of the year, after small capital weakens, all websites will pursue urban coverage, and the market will naturally become bigger, and those giants will naturally take away the fruits."
"I have always felt that doing business in your twenties is too frivolous and easy to be radical, but your thoroughness is beyond my expectation."
After Zhou Shihua finished speaking, he was silent for a while: "I know you want to fight for the last round, you can come to me then."
"That's not necessary. I still have a pile of trump cards in my hand, and there are eight heavenly kings to support me."
As Gu Ming was talking, he suddenly saw Su Huiqiang on the opposite side stretching his chopsticks toward him to pick up the braised pork ribs. He smiled and put the braised pork ribs in front of him in front of him.
Seeing this scene, Su Huiqiang was stunned. Suddenly, he felt like he had gone to a banquet when he was a child. Because he particularly liked a dish, his uncles and uncles would bring the plate to him with a smile.
Zhang Meilan did not notice this, but caught one word: "Qiangqiang, is Alibaba the company you mentioned earlier?"
"Yes……"
"Alibaba is a very good big company, and our family Qiangqiang wants to work there." Zhang Meilan said something for her son.
Zhou Shihua nodded to save face: "That company is indeed good, Qiangqiang should be able to do it."
Qin Jingqiu suddenly spoke at this time: "I heard someone say before that Mr. Pang wants to poach you to be a senior executive in Alibaba?"
Gu Ming nodded: "She mentioned it once. She said that she hopes to work with me after I graduate. But it doesn't matter whether she wants to or not. Her subtext is to tell me that they want to take it all."
Su Huiqiang was stunned when he heard this, feeling a little out of breath.
He knew that the topic at the dinner table had nothing to do with him, but he just felt like he couldn't sit still and always wanted to get up and leave first.
After a while, dinner was over, and Zhang Meilan drove her son home in her BMW. She always felt that something was wrong.
I originally wanted to meet someone and have a meal, but why did my son lose all energy after the meal?
