The snack street in Jiangdong City is famous not only in Jiangdong City and Jianghuai Province, but also in the whole country. It is called "one of the five largest food streets in China".
Jianghuai Province is at the crossroads between the north and the south, not far away from Baodao across the sea. Therefore, the snack streets in Jiangdong City are rich in variety. From south to north, from domestic to Baodao, almost all kinds of snacks can be found here. Found here.
Although it is called a snack street, it is actually not just one street, but consists of three connected paths next to the Perfume Pedestrian Street. It is about 500 meters long. When the lanterns are first lit, the steam is steaming, and various large and small shops are crowded with people. , it was already extremely lively.
"Xiao Mei, bring me ten pan-fried buns, three bowls of squid soup, one plate of meatballs, three sweet-scented osmanthus pig's feet, two big bowls of pissed beef balls~~~~~~," Guo Xiuxiu pulled He Ruoxi and rushed, We went directly to the special area belonging to Baodao Snacks and stopped in front of a small shop called Baodao Snacks.
This store was bigger than the other two stores, and it looked neater and cleaner, but there was only one table left. After Guo Xiuxiu sat down excitedly, she started to shoot at the cashier. A pretty girl inside called out.
"You are going to eat at this restaurant!" Chen Mu laughed and sat down next to He Ruoxi. The place was not big, so Guo Xiuxiu cleverly squeezed He Ruoxi outside.
Guo Xiuxiu ordered more than ten items, but Xiaomei at the cashier didn't remember them. She asked her again before she remembered them.
"As long as these three streets look clean, we have both eaten," Guo Xiuxiu said to Xiaomei with a smile, then turned around and continued, "Xiaomei and her family are authentic Baodao people. The things are also authentic," he lowered his head and smiled, "but it's a bit expensive. If you come here today, I'll give you a good meal."
It was indeed a bit expensive. Chen Mu glanced at the beautifully printed menu. After a little calculation, what Guo Xiuxiu ordered just now is probably not less than a hundred yuan. You know, the living expenses of ordinary college students for half a year are not much more than this, and the food expenses for children from rural areas are only thirty or fifty for half a year. .
The girl named Xiaomei came out with three cups of pearl n¨£i tea, which was a specialty of Treasure Island in this era. It seemed that she and Guo Xiuxiu were familiar with each other, and she glanced at the handsome Chen Mu. He secretly praised it and joked: "It's rare that a boy is with you today. Whose boyfriend is it?"
Guo Xiuxiu curled her lips, "Hey, Xiaomei, are you trying to make me angry? Although I have always held roses in my hand. But you see, this handsome guy is like Zhuge Liang. He doesn't look at his appearance. He only looks at the man inside!" "
Although He Ruoxi hummed, she did not refute. Xiaomei giggled and put the last cup of pearl n¨£i tea in front of Chen Mu, "Handsome man, this cup is for you. Come here often in the future!"
Chen Mu smiled and nodded. "Thank you, beauty!" Guo Xiuxiu chuckled and joked, "Hey, Xiaomei, you are too attached to your appearance and not to your friends. Besides, people have their own rights, so you hook up in front of them. , don¡¯t you want to hang out?¡±
Xiaomei hummed with a smile and a fierce expression, "Girl, you'd better not bring your boyfriend here, otherwise I will definitely snatch him away. Even if the boyfriend is not as handsome as Ruoxi, I will admit it."
"Xiaomei, you don't have to work!" A plump aunt inside shouted loudly. Xiaomei immediately stuck out her tongue cutely and ran away quickly. The store was indeed very busy and couldn't be busy at all.
The food was served quickly, and the craftsmanship is really good, especially when the business is so good, it is still of this level, which is very commendable.
"You will be your junior year in the second half of the year. If you are willing, you can go to my friend's bank for an internship during the summer vacation. That will promote your study and make it easier to get started when you work in the future!" At this time, Chen Mu was not suitable for saying those sweet words, so he changed the topic to their study and work.
He Ruoxi's dream is to be a banker. This was a goal she had at the beginning of the first semester of her sophomore year. However, at this time, she was still angry, or in other words, she hated her hesitation. She didn't know what she should do. After a complete rejection, she should still agree to Chen Mu's unreasonable request. She was originally a very decisive person, "I make my own decisions about my life. I don't want to listen to your arrangements!"
With such cold words, there was no way to really make a decision. Guo Xiuxiu asked Chen Mu out of curiosity, "Which bank should it be? It should be a big one, not a township savings bank like the one where Ruoxi and her father stayed. That¡¯s boring as hell.¡±
"Guo Xiuxiu!" He Ruoxi shouted dissatisfied, and Guo Xiuxiu immediately raised her hand, "I understand, I understand, but you should understand that this is my expression of truthfulness, and it is also fighting for the benefits we deserve."?. "
"You can go to any house you want!" Chen Mu said very calmly. Guo Xiuxiu was about to answer, and it turned out that he was the minister's son. He spoke so arrogantly, but she heard Chen Mu answer calmly, "When you graduate, I hope you will work in your own bank."
"What?" Guo Xiuxiu was stunned for a long time, and then stared at Chen Mu like He Ruoxi, "I don't seem to understand what you just said. Can you say it again?"
Chen Mu shrugged, "It's very simple. I will probably open a bank in the second half of this year. However, you know that officials can't do such private work, so I just want Ruoxi to be the legal person of the company."
"Wait a minute, wait a minute, I'm going crazy!" Guo Xiuxiu scratched her head regardless of her image, looking crazy, "Or, you're the one who's crazy, talking nonsense!"
"No, no, I can't stand it anymore!" Guo Xiuxiu stood up and screamed at Xiao Mei, who was running around in a hurry, "Xia Mei, pack it for me, and pack the ten most delicious things you have here, two ounces of each." Plus the rest here, let¡¯s get it ready for me, hurry up!¡±
"Why do you impose it on me without asking me for my opinion!" He Ruoxi stood up with a groan at this time. She was so excited that she yelled at Chen Mu with great dissatisfaction, "You are always like this, do you think you You know me very well, but do you know that everything you do is what I hate!"
After saying that, he threw away his hands and ran away. Chen Mu was stunned and quickly chased after him. Guo Xiuxiu was dumbfounded and shouted twice, "Hey, hey, you can't be so unloyal!"
She touched her belly, gritted her teeth, and muttered, "Okay, I'll just forget it this time." Just as she was about to chase after her, she saw Xiaomei and her mother looking at her. She turned around and saw that Chen Mu and He Ruoxi were already there. He disappeared and suddenly wailed, "I'm going to die. How could I forget about this?"
She took out her exquisite little wallet, but the money in it was very pitiful. What else did Xiaomei want to say? Her mother pinched her and quickly took the bill over, "Hello, I think you just You definitely don¡¯t want to order it. If you order it here, it¡¯s a total of 105 yuan. You have a good relationship with our Xiaomei. If I don¡¯t make any money from you, you can give me 100 yuan.¡±
Guo Xiuxiu has long known that Xiaomei's mother is a philistine. She is pitiful. She doesn't even have a fifty-dollar bill in her wallet, or a ten-five-dollar, two-dollar piece. When she counts out a hundred dollars, there is still a one-dollar piece left. There are also a few fifty-cent ones.
Xiaomei¡¯s mother quickly took it, without counting, with a smiling fake smile, ¡°Thank you for your patronage, come more often in the future!¡±
Guo Xiuxiu was so angry that she bit her silver teeth into pieces. It wasn¡¯t to Xiaomei¡¯s mother that she screamed, ¡°You two bastards, I¡¯m almost going to sell myself now!¡±
What Chen Mu said about opening a bank was not a lie. Now his funds are tight. In the second half of the year, from Netscape and the stocks he bought before, he can get another US$300 million, of which US$100 million is more than enough to open a bank. .
In 1949, when bank credit was tightening, the Prime Minister's Office also opened up a channel for private capital to enter the banking industry. In recent years, urban commercial banks in various places have shown a surge. At the same time, the largest non-public ownership bank in the country has Minsheng Bank, the bank in which the company has a stake, is also in preparation and will open in the future.
Chen Mu not only kept an eye on Minsheng Bank, but also on the soon-to-be-launched Beijing Commercial Bank, as well as various banks under preparation in Donghai Province. However, he would only invest in those banks. His main goal was to prepare for the establishment of Jianghuai Bank, but This was not led by Jianghuai Provincial Government, but was basically a bank planned and established by several shell companies controlled by him, and then combined with the current Jiangdong City Credit Cooperative System.
It will only be a bank with the imprint of the government on the surface, but privately, it will be controlled by Chen Mu Holdings, and preparations will be completed in the next two years. At that time, He Ruoxi had just graduated.
He Ruoxi didn¡¯t run fast, and there were too many people on the snack street. Chen Mu quickly caught up with her, but he did not stop her immediately because this occasion was not suitable for the two of them to say anything.
"Listen to me." After finally leaving the snack street, Chen Mu grabbed He Ruoxi and pulled her into a slightly secluded alley next to him. He held her so that she could not struggle and said with a slight breath. : "You know I won't force it on you, I just want to prepare you as much as possible for what you want to do and give you a surprise!"
"Surprise!" He Ruoxi spat at him, "Bah, you just like to manipulate other people's lives. I hate your self-righteousness!"
"No, you don't really hate it, you are just resisting!" Chen Mu also said loudly: "You are resisting your sincerity. You know what you think, but you are afraid, but please believe me,"??will definitely be by your side. "
"Bah, liar, scoundrel!" He Ruoxi struggled unwillingly and spat at him again. However, what he didn't expect was that Chen Mu actually lowered his head and planned to kiss her, "Ah, what are you going to do!" ( To be continued.)
