Although they are billionaires, the life of the Cheng family is very low-key and frugal. At least Yang Cheng did not often see these two at parties and banquets in high society.
Of course, it's not that the two lived in poverty. In fact, luxury goods are no different from ordinary brands for them. They occasionally buy them, and even go back to worry about discounts like ordinary people, or simply wait until the annual price reduction. Crazy purchasing.
As for whether they will miss the latest models, it has never been a problem for them. Anyway, no one thinks they have no money because they are outdated.
Why did Yang Cheng know such details? Because the two simple styles have become role models for many Chinese families, he often listens to examples of the couple's life outside.
For example, people who have eaten with Cheng's family often say that Mr. Cheng usually eats every dish cleanly, not even the sauce. If you really can’t eat it, you must take it home, never waste.
After meeting Yang Cheng today, he found that it was similar to the rumors. Cheng Zhengchang’s dress was very simple, a cheap suit, an ordinary belt watch, and a style that had been used for decades. He would never be recognized when he was thrown on the street. A billionaire.
After chatting with him for a while, Yang Cheng also discovered that Cheng Zhengchang seems to have a very special ability. He has better chat skills than ordinary people. Even if they have just met and are not familiar with each other, they can pick up a topic at random. Let's talk.
If you don’t know them and see them talking so vigorously, I think they’ve known each other for many years, but they actually only introduced each other 5 minutes ago.
Yang Cheng really admired him. Just now this man actually talked to him about team operations, from basketball to football, let alone, his views are still very reasonable, at least it will not make people think that they are on paper. This suggestion, after careful consideration, can indeed be used.
It’s really amazing. In just a few minutes, Yang Cheng was overwhelmed by the other person’s personal charm. Well, the word “appreciation” is a bit exaggerated. It’s more appropriate to use “appreciation”. Sure enough, the rich man didn’t give his name in vain. The shadow of the tree is indeed somewhat capable.
In comparison, the adult wife Jiang Peiqi’s personality is a bit cold, despite her small size, she is a very strong woman with a strong aura, but like Cheng Zhengchang, she doesn’t like to be public, but she does not like her husband. She has the absolute right to veto any decision, whether it is a business or a private matter, based on this, she can prove what kind of woman she is.
For women, if you succeed in your career outside, no one will say anything good about you, but if you can hold your husband firmly in your palm, you will definitely be praised by a large number of people.
When Yang Cheng and Cheng Zhengchang were chatting, Jiang Peiqi and Liu Yun also had a hot chat. Yang Cheng listened to a few words with her ears upright. It should have been about yoga.
I heard that both of these couples are loyal lovers of yoga. Regarding this, Yang Cheng doesn't want to make any comments. They are their own hobbies.
But when he thought of the great masters practicing yoga, a layer of goose bumps appeared on his body. The scene was too ‘moving’ to look directly at him.
But how could such a couple who have nothing to do with the family suddenly visit?
Yang Cheng tried several times and didn't ask why they came, wouldn't they also come for a blind date?
This is by no means narcissism. After all, it seems to have three daughters in a family, but they are all very old, right? At least it's a lot older than myself, it's not appropriate.
Obviously he was thinking too much, Yang Sen pulled everyone down and said, "This time you are here as an uncle for a new real estate project."
"Real estate project? Residential real estate?"
Yang Cheng wondered: Is the panda going into real estate too?
Cheng Zhengchang said, "We are preparing to start a more complex and special mixed-use real estate project in South Pasadena."
Yang Cheng was puzzled, "Mixed use?"
"Yes, I acquired three adjacent buildings on a street and prepared for renovation and development. One of them was listed as a historic building in South Pasadena. According to the requirements, this two-story brick structure must be retained and carried out. Reuse, the other two buildings can be razed to the ground, and I plan to build a new three-story building.
After the project is fully completed, there will be 36 one-room and two-room apartments, with 7,335 square feet of street commercial space and a parking lot that can accommodate 114 cars. "
After all, bring up the picture from the ipad, "This is the rendering that I asked a design company to do~"
Yang Cheng saw that a contemporary low-rise building was shown on the renderings. It was designed with brickwork, and the high-rise part of the building was indented to create space for the construction of the platform.
The city of South Pasadena is currently conducting environmental studies for the proposed development, and its construction timetable has not yet been announced.
"In addition, we are also preparing to develop similar apartment projects nearby, so we have to find a strong partner.
In comparison, the cooperation between us Chinese is not as close as between other races. I think this project is a good opportunity to bring the two families of Yuanshan and Panda to join forces. "Sheng Zhengchang said so.
Yang Cheng glanced through it briefly, and the renderings are not novel. Similar buildings are everywhere in the United States. As for the multi-purpose buildings he referred to, they are actually a combination of commercial and residential buildings, and there is nothing worth mentioning. .
The key is that the other party wants to cooperate with Yuanshan, but it is not necessary at all. Even if all the plans are added, there is no need to cooperate with Yuanshan.
In fact, with the size of the distant mountains, this kind of work has always been acceptable or not, mainly because of the profit.
But since they came to the door, there is no reason to refuse, and nodded, "I don't think it is a problem, you can cooperate~"
After speaking, he glanced at his dad in surprise. It is reasonable to say that there is no need to seek his consent for this matter?
Yuanshan is still in his father's hands now, and even the person in charge of the subordinate real estate company is enough to make a decision. Why take it home?
This doubt came to my mind as soon as I thought it through. Just like those who are eager to send girls to the door, they are nothing more than finding an opportunity to get in touch with their own family and take a ride. In this way, the couple did not imagine it. So "simple", what we should strive for is to strive for.
"I will discuss the cooperation with the company another day, and I won't talk about official affairs at home~" Yang Sen said that basically even if the cooperation is finalized.
"Yes, I said to the company on business~" Cheng Zhengchang responded.
"I asked the butler to get some fresh ingredients. Shall we drink together at night?"
"It couldn't be better~"
Yang Cheng was curious, "What did you get delicious?"
Yang Sen smirked, "RB River Eel, authentic~"
Yang Cheng's eyes widened, "Really? But this is not the season to eat eels, right?"
In RB, grilled eel is considered a representative summer delicacy.
Especially on the "Ugly Day for Soil", which is the "ugly" day in the lunar calendar in the 18 days before the fall of National Z, it is also a festival for RB people to eat eels.
It stands to reason that the appetite is reduced during the hot summer, so you should eat light food. How can you do the opposite?
In fact, it's precisely because people don't like to eat eels in summer, and the business of eel shops is bleak every time.
In order to boost business, an eel shop owner in the Edo period asked the inventor Gennai Hiraga to think about it.
Yuannei remembered an old proverb: "Eating foods starting with U on Ugly Days is very good for your body."
The ghost knows how this proverb comes from, but the reason why it says it is because "U-Shi" also starts with U as summer foods such as pickled plums, udon noodles, and melons. .
In Japanese, the eel is pronounced Unagi, which coincides with the ancient proverb, and Genoui has an idea. It is definitely a marketing plan that can be rated more than 90 points.
Naturally, miraculous effects were received in that era. From then on, eating eel has become a repertoire of ugly days and summers.
But in Yang Cheng's view, only in the autumn and winter when the eels have accumulated enough fat, will they be the most plump. People are used to eating eels in the summer only because of folk traditions.
According to the "God of Eel" Kenjiro Kanmoto, the eels caught between September and October are the most delicious.
That’s why Lin Jian wondered, it’s really not the time to eat eel. Of course, it’s not that there is no eel to eat, but the food must be seasonal. Dad is also a glutton. You shouldn’t make such a low-level mistake. ?
In response, Yang Sen said, "I heard that the production of RB river eels this year will reach a record low, which may not be half of last year's. Let's take advantage of what you have now and eat more, or you won't be able to eat it in September."
Cheng Zhengchang opened a restaurant, and it was naturally delicious. When he heard this, his eyes flashed, "Really? Then I can eat more~"
"Ha~ It's enough, but I deliberately sent 10 fresh eels by air, and invited the chef from the Japanese food store to cook on-site. You can have a good taste today." Yang Sen said with embarrassment.
Now is probably the only thing that can make him show this expression.
A picture emerged in Yang Cheng’s mind. It was when his predecessor was studying, he would take Lin Qian to various Japanese food stores in Los Angeles every vacation to improve his food, and the must-order dish every time he went was eel rice. .
That bowl of soft, waxy, delicious, and oily eel rice came to mind. Just thinking about it, the body will have a series of reactions, such as saliva.
But Yang Cheng knows that after eating eel rice for so many years, no one can be regarded as authentic. After all, eel rice in RB has strict requirements in terms of the freshness of the eel and the skill level.
In terms of ingredients, a real bowl of eel rice must be RB river eel.
However, due to the high cost, more and more stores will choose conger eels instead, especially in Los Angeles, which is far away from RB. However, in terms of quality and taste, conger eels are not as good as river eels, which taste thorny. There is little and no sea smell, so it is most suitable for making Kabayaki eel.
