Siheyuan: I am different He Yuzhu

Chapter 362 Beautiful Electrical Appliances

Lou Bingcheng brought He Yuzhu to the restaurant downstairs in the hotel. The restaurant looked quite high-end and was very exquisitely decorated. The restaurant was a tea restaurant that mainly served Cantonese cuisine. It was said that the dishes here were very authentic. As soon as the two entered the restaurant, a young man came up to them. He was wearing a black suit and had a warm smile on his face. He looked very professional.

The young man said to them politely, "Hello, gentlemen. How many people are you having dinner with?"

Lou Bingcheng smiled and replied, "It's just the two of us. Please help find a bigger place for us."

The young man nodded quickly and said with a smile, "Okay, please follow me." After that, he quickly walked to the side and brought He Yuzhu and Lou Bingcheng to a four-person table.

Lou Bingcheng looked at the table carefully and felt it was a bit small, so he turned to ask the waiter: "Is there a bigger table? It would be better if it is more spacious." The waiter thought for a moment and replied: "Yes, sir, if you want a more spacious seat, we also have a table for six people, what do you think?" Lou Bingcheng nodded and said: "Okay, let's go to the table for six people."

Following the waiter, Lou Bingcheng and He Yuzhu came to a quieter corner, where a table for six was placed. The waiter handed the menu to Lou Bingcheng and asked politely, "Gentlemen, what would you like to eat?"

After Lou Bingcheng took the menu, he handed it to He Yuzhu without even glancing at it, and said generously: "Xiao He, you may not have tasted Cantonese food yet? You can order whatever you want today, Daddy will treat you!"

Hearing this, He Yuzhu's eyes lit up and he replied with a smile: "Okay, thank you, Dad. I won't be polite then!" He took the menu excitedly and began to browse it carefully.

Honey-glazed barbecued pork, roasted pork, roasted suckling pig, roast goose, roast duck, poached chicken, satay beef buns, barbecued pork buns, pork chop buns, Portuguese egg tarts... Looking at the dazzling array of delicious food on the menu, He Yuzhu was secretly wondering how to choose.

After some thought, He Yuzhu finally made a decision and said to the waiter, "I'd like one portion each of honey barbecued pork, steamed spareribs with black bean sauce, white-cut chicken, crispy roast pork, and roast goose. For vegetarian dishes, I'd like one portion of lettuce with oyster sauce and one portion of broccoli with salted cabbage. For staple food, I'd like a pot rice with preserved meat and stir-fried beef noodles. Dad, is there anything else you need to order?"

Lou Bingcheng smiled and replied, "No, I just want a bowl of fried noodles and a traditional Chinese soup."

He Yuzhu then said to the waiter: "Then give us another serving of fried noodles and traditional Chinese soup. Okay, we have ordered the dishes, you can prepare to serve them!" After that, he returned the menu to the waiter.

After the waiter wrote down the dishes He Yuzhu ordered, he smiled and said to He Yuzhu kindly, "Sir, based on the dishes you ordered, the quantity seems to be a bit too much. If there are only two of you dining, there may be some leftovers and waste."

Lou Bingcheng couldn't help laughing after hearing this and said to the waiter, "Young man, thank you very much for your kind reminder, but please don't worry, just serve the dishes according to his order. He has a relatively large appetite, and I can guarantee that there will be no food waste."

Seeing this, the waiter understood that Lou Bingcheng had made up his mind, so he stopped talking and asked, "Excuse me, gentlemen, what would you like to drink?"

Lou Bingcheng turned to look at He Yuzhu and asked, "Xiao He, what would you like to drink?"

He Yuzhu thought for a moment and replied, "I have to attend the Export Commodities Trading Conference this afternoon. Drinking is not suitable for talking with foreign businessmen. Let's have a pot of tea. What kinds of tea do you have here to choose from?"

The waiter introduced enthusiastically: "Our restaurant offers a wide variety of teas, including black tea, Pu'er tea, and Biluochun tea."

"Then let's have a pot of Biluochun! By the way, Dad, before I left, I told my colleagues in our factory that you should arrange to treat them to dinner in the evening. You don't have to pick us up after the export commodity trading conference in the afternoon, but I'll need you to come down when we enter the door."

"No problem. It's just a meal. Don't just say one meal. We can even arrange a few more meals." Lou Bingcheng said cheerfully. "Young man, I want a bottle of soda."

"Okay, I'll take your order right away and serve you the food shortly." The waiter smiled and nodded, then turned and left to prepare their meals.

"Dad, why does this hotel restaurant have everything?" He Yuzhu recalled the menu he had just seen, looked at Lou Bingcheng, and asked with a puzzled look on his face.

Lou Bingcheng smiled and explained, "Xiao He, this hotel only accepts guests from Hong Kong. It is not open to locals. You can only use foreign currency to eat and pay the bill here, not RMB."

Hearing this, He Yuzhu suddenly realized. He understood that this hotel was specially prepared for those wealthy people from Hong Kong. These people came to the mainland with a lot of foreign exchange to purchase goods, and this hotel provided them with a comfortable and luxurious living environment. At the same time, it also earned a lot of foreign exchange for the country. Alas, it can only be said that it was all caused by the lack of foreign exchange. In order to earn precious foreign exchange, the Rabbit Country has tried every possible way. After all, if you want to introduce advanced technology and equipment from abroad, you can't do it without foreign exchange. People only recognize hard currency gold and knives.

"So that's how it is. I was wondering why this place felt so high-end." He Yuzhu nodded to show his understanding.

Then, he thought of his novels and said to Lou Bingcheng with a smile: "Dad, how are the novels I wrote?"

Hearing this, Lou Bingcheng immediately perked up. He looked at He Yuzhu with excitement and said, "Xiao He, you are amazing! I never thought you could write novels, and write so well! You don't know how popular your novels are. In order to win you over, Mr. Cha from the Sun and Moon Newspaper directly gave you 5% of the shares of the Sun and Moon Newspaper. Your royalties seem to be around or Hong Kong dollars a year. I don't remember the exact amount, but your mother is helping you take care of it. By the way, Xiao He, do you want me to give you your royalties?"

He Yuzhu waved his hand and said with a smile, "No, Dad, you can use it first. I have no place to spend money in China at the moment. I will ask you for it when I need it. Dad, I remember that you have an electrical appliance factory under your name. What does your electrical appliance factory produce?"

Lou Bingcheng nodded, then smiled and replied, "Our factory currently mainly produces electric fans and light bulbs. What's wrong, Xiao He?"

Hearing this answer, He Yuzhu's eyes suddenly lit up, and he was secretly delighted in his heart, but his face remained calm, and he continued to ask as if nothing had happened: "Dad, has your electrical appliance factory ever tried to produce televisions?"

Lou Bingcheng shook his head and said helplessly: "As for television sets, my factory cannot produce them for the time being. There is no factory in Hong Kong that can produce television sets."

At this time, He Yuzhu frowned slightly and said firmly: "I think you should consider launching production lines for products such as televisions, refrigerators, and air conditioners. After all, the technical content of electric fans is relatively low, and there may not be much market potential in the future. And home appliances such as televisions, refrigerators, and air conditioners are the ultimate development direction of family life. However, launching so many production lines at the same time will definitely put a lot of financial pressure on you. In addition, Hong Kong is a small area and a free trade port. If you want to make your company bigger and stronger, you must export. In this way, the pressure faced by the company is really not small!"

"Xiao He, you are right. Originally, I planned to go to Europe to investigate after attending this Export Commodities Trade Conference to see if I can introduce a TV production line. Don't worry about the funds. So many projects cannot be launched at the same time. They need to be promoted one by one and the next project will be started after they are mature. After all, my family is the second largest shareholder of Hang Seng Bank, so borrowing money is not a problem." Lou Bingcheng said confidently.

"By the way, Xiao He, what do you think is a good name for our electrical appliance company?"

"What is the name of the electrical appliance factory now?"

"The current name is Lou's Electric, but that is just a temporary solution. If we want to develop in the long run, we must choose a loud and nice name."

He Yuzhu pondered for a moment, then raised his head, looked at Lou Bingcheng and said softly: "Dad, what do you think of 'Meihao Electric Appliances'? Meihao Electric Appliances will make your life better!"

"Meihao Electric Appliances makes your life better. Good, let's call it Meihao Electric Appliances." Lou Bingcheng repeated it in his mind and felt it was very good, so he said it decisively. Thus, Meihao Electric Appliances, one of the Fortune Global 50, was established in 500 years.

At this time, a young waiter slowly came over with an exquisite dining cart and stopped beside the table. He smiled and gestured to the two of them, and began to place the food.

"Sir, the honey-glazed barbecued pork, steamed spare ribs with black bean sauce, poached chicken, crispy roast pork and roast goose you ordered are ready. There are a few other dishes being cooked, so please wait a moment. Please enjoy your meal slowly!" said the waiter politely.

Lou Bingcheng smiled and nodded to express his gratitude. "Xiao He, let's eat first and talk while we eat."

He Yuzhu smiled and picked up his chopsticks to taste the delicious Cantonese cuisine. As a professional chef, he has a strong curiosity about other cuisines. The sweetness of the honey barbecued pork and the tenderness of the meat complement each other; the softness of the steamed spareribs in black bean sauce and the aroma of black beans are intoxicating; the lightness and original flavor of the white-cut chicken are endless; the crispy skin and juicy interior of the crispy roast pork are even more surprising. The roast goose has crispy skin and tender meat, fat but not greasy, and the taste is very authentic.
