Everyone has a future role model in their heart.

Lu Yuan’s father Lu Shuren also has it.

His idol is Xu Hong, the self-made restaurant tycoon and founder of the nationally renowned "Asia City" hotel chain.

There was also a bound Biography of Xu Hong in Lu Shuren's room. Perhaps it was the subtle influence of this book that made the childhood Lu Yuan inexplicably develop the idea of ​​opening a small restaurant to make a living.

The content of "The Biography of Xu Hong" is very wonderful.

It tells the story of how Xu Hong, a poor boy with nothing, worked hard and struggled under the impetus of the times, overcame crisis and difficulties time and time again, finally saw the light, and created a catering empire.

Every time Lu Shuren finished reading it, he felt a sense of longing deep in his heart.

but……

it is a pity.

Lu Shuren didn't dare to use his savings to open a restaurant.

In the past, the Lu family was so poor that they had to support the family. Most of the money they earned in a month was given back to relatives and friends. In addition, they had to pay for Lu Yuan's schooling, so their life was extremely tight every month. Under such circumstances, Lu Shuren really didn't have the courage to take a gamble.

After all, doing business is risky!

He could only suppress this thought, as if it were covered with dust, and gradually forgotten.

Later, when Lu Yuan suddenly became angry and told Lu Shuren that he hoped to open a restaurant so that he would have a way out if he couldn't make it in the entertainment company in the future, Lu Shuren's heart suddenly became active.

Then he opened a restaurant and used many business strategies to gradually expand the restaurant!

only……

After he opened the restaurant, Lu Shuren discovered that his son's entertainment company not only did not go bankrupt, but became more and more prosperous...

Then he suddenly realized that he seemed to have been deceived by his son.

like……

My son can’t come over for the time being?

In short, Lu Shuren has been running his catering business in the past few years. Although the catering business is not as popular as the entertainment industry, at least Lu Shuren is still making steady progress and looking to the future.

Um……

No matter what!

In Lu Shuren's heart, the book "Biography of Xu Hong" was of great help to him.

At the same time, he agreed with some of the business concepts in "The Biography of Xu Hong". As his own catering business became better and better, Lu Shuren felt that he wanted to meet Xu Hong more and more. After meeting, he hoped to talk about some things in the future. Even this year, whenever he had time, he went to listen to Xu Hong's lectures. But unfortunately, Xu Hong always left in a hurry after the lecture and never stopped. It was even more impossible for him to meet Lu Shuren alone...

So Lu Shuren felt quite regretful.

A few days ago, when he learned from the grapevine that Xu Hong seemed to be very interested in Joaquin Entertainment, he immediately followed him, hoping to meet Xu Hong and get an autograph.

"Uncle Lu...how about this, you come in with me, and I'll arrange a seat for you next to Xu Hong, what do you think?"

"Boss Xu, this won't do."

"What's wrong?"

"The dispute inside is about Huajin's shares, and I'm not here to fight for shares. If I sit next to Teacher Xu Hong, it won't be good. Everyone will mistakenly think that Ayuan entrusted me to fight for shares... This is not good." Lu Shuren narrowed his eyes and looked at Xu Cancan. After a slight hesitation, he laughed.

"Uncle Lu, that's not what I meant. What I meant is that you can sit in as an observer. What do you think?" Xu Cancan looked away slightly.

I don’t know why…

She suddenly had a feeling that Lu Yuan's father could see through a lot of things.

Like father, like son…

It seems that Uncle Lu is not a simple person either.

"Listen in?" Lu Shuren hesitated for a moment and asked subconsciously.

"Um."

"That's fine." Lu Shuren nodded.

…

In the conference room.

"Hello, Teacher Xu Hong."

"Well, hello."

"What a nice day today."

"Um……"

Xu Hong looked strangely at a middle-aged man who was about ten years younger than him and was sitting next to him.

He felt that the middle-aged man looked familiar.

However, he couldn't figure out who this middle-aged man was for a moment.

Of course, Xu Hong didn’t think much about it. After all, he met many people every day, so it was normal to recognize a few of them occasionally, right?

But then he felt something was wrong.

Those who can sit here with Joaquin, although they may look like attendees, are basically well-known figures in various wealthy circles, right?

There is no reason why I shouldn’t know such a person, right?

But, in fact, I really don’t know him.

This is strange.

When he thought of this, Xu Hong looked at the middle-aged man next to him again.

Then……

He saw the middle-aged man smiling at him.

The expression on his face was equally strange.

This kind of weirdness really made Xu Hong very uncomfortable...

Could it be that this person is also here to fight for equity?

"Teacher Xu Hong, what do you think of the future of the entertainment industry?"

"The future of the entertainment industry... is hard to say..."

"I've attended your lectures, and you said in them that you've always been optimistic about the entertainment industry..."

"Are you a student in my lecture?"

"Yes, especially the one at Nanyang University, I was also involved..."

“Are you interested in the entertainment industry?”

"No... I have no interest in the entertainment industry..."

"Aren't you here to compete?"

"No, no, no... I don't have that much money. I just came to see you. Um, Mr. Xu Hong, your book "Biography of Xu Hong" has been very helpful to me. Your experience is also very inspiring. I have also opened a small chain store in the past few years..."

"Hmm? 'Bana' restaurant chain?"

“No, no…”

"Xu's Catering?"

“No, no…”

"Hmm? Then you are..." Xu Hong frowned when he heard this.

I haven’t heard of many other larger restaurant chains in recent years.

"Oh, I'm a 'remote' catering person..."

"Remote? Wait!" Xu Hong was stunned at first, then narrowed his eyes and looked at Lu Shuren, "You are Lu Yuan's..."

"Yes, yes, yes! Teacher Xu, I am Lu Yuan's father!" Lu Shuren nodded quickly.

“…”

When he heard this, Xu Hong narrowed his eyes and looked at Lu Shuren.

silence.

Yes, silence.

At this moment, he actually felt a bit of hostility in his heart.

He felt that he understood a little.

Lu Yuan has actually arrived.

But what does it mean that Lu Yuan doesn’t show up himself and asks his father to show up?

Could it be that something unexpected happened?

At this moment, not only Xu Hong thought of this idea, but even other people had this idea as well.

Everyone stared at Lu Shuren.

Lu Shuren looked at the strange people around him.

He was silent too.

He knew he must have been misunderstood.

…

This battle for equity seems to be fierce.

Every price increase seemed like a war, with everyone arguing endlessly.

However, every time the price was raised, everyone would subconsciously look at Lu Shuren.

I felt a little uneasy.

Lu Shuren remained silent from beginning to end and did not speak a word.

But it was precisely because of this silence that everyone felt very strange.

After all, a person's reputation is like the shadow of a tree.

The person standing behind Lu Shuren was not anyone else but Lu Yuan, the most popular person in China at the moment.

Lu Yuan...

This is not a good person.

Everyone's general impression of Lu Yuan is that he is an ambitious hero, and Lu Shuren's appearance at such an inopportune time...

If Lu Yuan says that he has no plans and no ideas about Joaquin, who would believe it?

Therefore, even if Lu Shuren was just a bystander, everyone could feel an indescribable discomfort.

Especially Xu Hong.

Xu Hong felt that no matter how Lu Shuren sat next to him, he would feel uncomfortable.

Although he didn't turn around, he always had the feeling that he was being stared at by a poisonous snake.

Two or three hours passed.

Fierce discussions and competition continue.

At this moment...

"Six billion one hundred million!"

When Xu Hong suddenly shouted out this number, everyone fell silent.

They all looked at Xu Hong in shock.

Chen Cong and his son Chen Jianming stared at Xu Hong and Lu Shuren strangely.

He always felt that today's equity would reveal a strange feeling.

Six billion is their bottom line.

6.1 billion...

Everyone thinks it's not worth it.

Although, it's only 100 million more, but.

The taste is different.

However, Xu Hong is determined to win Joaquin.

Moreover, for some reason, he always felt that there must be some changes when Lu Shuren sat next to him.

After all, although Lu Yuan was not ranked on the rich list and his actual total assets were not that much, Xu Hong always felt uneasy about Lu Yuan!

He decided to cut the Gordian knot.

Xu Cancan looked at Lu Shuren.

After seeing that Lu Shuren remained silent from beginning to end, he felt a little disappointed.

Could it be that Uncle Lu really came here to ask for an autograph?

…

evening.

"Mr. Lu, are you really just here to sign, not to fight for equity?"

"Really, Mr. Xu, please sign for me."

“…”

Lu Shuren took a deep breath.

Signed his name.

The battle for Joaquin's shares finally ended at a price of 6.1 billion.

It fell into the hands of the emerging richest man Xu Hong.

Chen Cong and Chen Jianming, father and son, had the idea of ​​competing, but after seeing Lu Shuren, they somehow gave up.

No one fights for the two...

They always felt that there seemed to be some kind of internal deal between Lu Yuan and Huajin, or that Lu Yuan and Xu Hong had reached some deal.

Anyway…

Lu Shuren's appearance was really weird.

After greeting each other, the "big shots" left Joaquin one after another.

Lu Shuren walked out with Xu Hong, smiling, holding a signed copy of "Biography of Xu Hong".

Xu Hong was also smiling, but there was always an uncomfortable expression on his face.

It really doesn’t feel good to spend an extra 100 million.

"Mr. Lu..."

"What?"

"What exactly does Lu Yuan want to do? What does he mean?" Xu Hong finally stared at Lu Shuren again.

"Teacher Xu, you really misunderstood. My coming here this time has nothing to do with Lu Yuan. I simply want to see you and chat with you. It would be even better if we could cooperate." Lu Shuren hid the book and then looked at Xu Hong.

"Mr. Lu, how do you want to cooperate?"

"I own a 'remote' takeaway delivery company that specializes in delivering takeaways for major restaurant chains and hotels. We currently have ten outlets across the country, but the companies we cooperate with are all small businesses... I think we can cooperate in business. Although Mr. Xu, you are currently the richest man, it is always right to more the better, right? We will need a lot of allies in the future, right?" Xu Hong narrowed his eyes and smiled.

Although the difference between their identities is huge.

But Lu Shuren did not have any inferiority complex. Instead, there was a hint of heat in his eyes.

"Just for this?" Xu Hong's expression was slightly interesting.

"Yeah, that's right."

"Mr. Lu, I'm sorry... We don't need any other irrelevant cooperation at the moment. Our company system is very sound, and it will only get better in the future... Although I haven't heard of the cooperation plan you mentioned, I'm not very interested in it..." Xu Hong suddenly shook his head and turned away without even looking at Lu Shuren.

"ah?"

"Mr. Lu... After I, Joaquin, take over, there will be a major reshuffle. If you are interested, you can remind Lu Yuan a little bit... I don't know what he is thinking, but the advent of the Internet age is different after all. If one does not walk well, he will fall... But he is very smart and dare not spread his business too wide... But speaking of cooperation, I hope to cooperate with Lu Yuan..."

“……” Lu Shuren’s smile gradually disappeared.

Then he frowned.

I don’t know why…

He always felt that everything he admired in Xu Hong suddenly disappeared.

seem……

Xu Hong, who speaks eloquently on the podium and simply in his books, is completely different from the rich man in front of us who speaks with a hint of sarcasm.

"Uncle Lu...what's wrong?"

"No, Mr. Chen, hello."

"Uncle Lu... if he doesn't cooperate with you, we will. We have shopping malls all over the country, big and small. Although we don't focus on the food business, I believe we still have a chance to cooperate." Chen Cong hesitated for a moment, then said this as he walked towards Lu Shuren.

Chen Jianming next to him also smiled at Lu Shuren.

Seems to admire Lu Shuren very much.

…

November 20th.

Joaquin announced that 30% of the shares would be transferred to Xu Hong, the richest man in China.

Xu Hong looked at all the reporters at the media conference.

"The future Joaquin will be a different Joaquin. I believe that he will become an entertainment company more powerful than Tianyu."

"Within a year, Joaquin will be on par with Tianyu, and within two years, Joaquin will surpass Tianyu!"

"As for catering? Haha, do you think there is anyone in the domestic catering industry who can compare with me? I have reached the pinnacle of one industry, and now, I am about to reach the pinnacle of another industry!"

"'Remote'? No, no, no, 'Remote' is not our opponent. Of course, I admire Lu Yuan very much. I hope to talk to Lu Yuan. If possible, I hope Lu Yuan can join us in Huajin. I will give him a corresponding position..."

“…”

Xu Hong changed his usual low-key style and suddenly made such a loud voice in the media.

Although calm with a smile on his face.

but……

But he looks extremely domineering.

For a time, all the media were shocked, and the interview with Xu Hong was circulating all day on the 20th!

What does Xu Hong mean by this sentence?

Although it is not stated explicitly, the meaning is very clear!

He hopes Lu Yuan can help him with work!

…

In fact...

Lu Yuan received a call from Xu Hong that night.

Xu Hong’s purpose is very clear.

He asked how much "remote" entertainment would cost.

He hopes to acquire Yuancheng and incorporate it into his territory.

Although we are talking about cooperation, but...

But the meaning is very clear.
