Chapter 83: Li Xiaoteng's Ideal

  Tonight's night market, with the fall of Ba Ye, has never been so united. I don't know if the bosses of various restaurants in the night market are unintentionally spontaneous or have ulterior motives, but almost all of them gathered at Li Xiaoteng's place.

  The empty space in front of Dongxing Restaurant was also packed.

  Li Xiaoteng was busily greeting the fat sister and Zhao boss, while Zhao Baozi was also chiming in with jokes on the side.

  But tonight's protagonists are undoubtedly Li Xiaoteng and Jiang Di. Of course, Zhao Baozi, who has been continuously filling in successfully, also became a star figure today. The brothers were surrounded by the bosses, praising them incessantly.

  Kong Zhen, who was knocked down at the beginning, stood behind Li Xiaoteng. But became one of the four major anti-black warriors today that is least noticeable. Of course, Kong Zhen is also a new face. Plus no one knows Kong Zhen. Naturally, there are not many people coming up to talk to him.

  Kong Zhen smiled and listened to the crowd talking, suddenly vaguely hearing the Xue boss who had just shouted to send roasted ducks, standing in the corner and pressing his voice down: "Right! Hurry up and let Master Zhao roast ten roasted ducks! ... Yesterday's leftovers? No problem! Reheat it and it won't taste like it. Hurry up and bring it over!"

  Kong Zhen suddenly pursed his lips and secretly vowed in his heart: When the roast duck comes later, I will definitely not eat the roast duck!

  The largest restaurant in the night market is De Sheng Fang, but it was also De Sheng Fang that suffered the most from the tyrant's persecution. In just a few moments, the dishes of De Sheng Fang flowed like water to the entrance of Dong Xing Restaurant. The northeast's braised pork with vermicelli, Huaiyang's boiled dried silk noodles, and the two Guangs' stir-fried meat crab with ginger and scallions. Just these few dishes made Zhao Baozi's eyes wide with wonder.

  The dishes were served with great fanfare, and Zhao's restaurant also brought out steaming hot Beijing-style snacks. Of course, the roasted duck that Xue had promised earlier was also not to be missed...

  At such a grand gathering, Li Xiaoteng and the other four anti-mafia warriors were naturally treated as VIPs by the most powerful bosses in the night market, and were seated at the head table. As for the rest of the small vendors and bosses, they could only take seats lower down.

  But what's even more interesting is that the two middle-aged women who came to ask for take-out of spicy hot pot a few days ago were also on the list, sitting far away on the outermost side. This made Li Xiaoteng feel a bit too absurd.

  However, Li Xiaoteng deeply understood a truth: piling up seven-star stoves and copper pots to cook three rivers' worth of food, all who came were guests, and naturally wouldn't go back to nitpicking about old accounts. When their eyes met, Li Xiaoteng was the first to nod his head in friendship.

  After three rounds of wine and five dishes, the cups were changed. Only then did Mr. Xue, the first to hold up his cup, extend an olive branch to Li Xiaoteng: "Mr. Li, I'm making a concession by calling you Little Teng, don't mind it!" Li Xiaoteng hastily raised his wine cup and laughed loudly: "But Mr. Xue is originally my uncle's generation..." Mr. Xue hastily said: "No, we're of the same generation." Li Xiaoteng smiled but didn't speak, silently watching Mr. Xue.

  Xue boss held a wine glass in one hand and raised his thumb with the other, saying: "Little Teng, now on the night market, wine houses and restaurants are not counted! Your outside business is recognized as the best! If you're willing, I'll give up 30% of Yipin Building's shares! How about merging into our Yipin Building?"

  Li Xiaoteng hadn't even spoken yet when he saw that Fat Sister was already done for! The uniquely feminine and feisty flavor was fully embodied in Fat Sister.

  All I saw was Fat Sister saying discontentedly: "Old Xue, Li Xiaoteng's hot pot is like a golden egg-laying chicken. Whoever's store he goes to will be able to take it to the next level! You only gave Xiaoteng 30% of the shares! Bah! Your Yipin Building... you also have the nerve to say that!"

  Xue boss scolded Fat Sister severely, and she immediately became red in the face.

  Xue boss gritted his teeth and said unpleasantly: "Little Teng, you come, I'll give you 40% of the shares!"

  Fat sister hurriedly said: "Little Teng, don't bother with Old Xue! Sister's De Sheng Fang is the largest wine house in our area!" Li Xiao Teng hastily nodded and said: "Yes! Yes! Big sister, you don't know. When I was in elementary school, I always looked forward to my parents taking me to De Sheng Fang for a meal. At that time, my family didn't have money, and my dad and mom almost never took me there. Until now, I've only been inside two or three times..."

  Li Xiaoteng finished speaking and didn't realize that he had lost face, but instead let out a cheerful and relaxed laugh.

  Fat sister happily said: "Little Teng, you come and I'll give you 40% of the shares! Equity!" After finishing speaking, Fat Sister also asked anxiously: "Are you coming or not? Are you coming or not?"

  Actually, the earliest hot pot was started by Zhao Baozi's stove, but it was Li Xiaoteng who made it famous. Now Zhao Baozi no longer has the right to speak. However, when he heard that he had the opportunity to enter Yipin Building, Deshengfang, his heart was already filled with joy. He grabbed a roast duck roll, which he didn't know how many times he had eaten before, and started devouring it desperately again.

  Kong Zhen furrowed his brow and secretly kicked Zhao Baozi with his foot. Zhao Baozi looked at Kong Zhen in surprise, then smiled at him with a wide grin and started rolling up the next roasted duck roll.

  Kong Zhen looked at Zhao Pu's mouth full of sweet sauce, feeling the temples pulsating. He lowered his head and started eating the Beijing eight-piece set, planning to ignore him and avoid trouble!

  Li Xiaoteng looked at the plump sister's expectant gaze. He was still eating someone else's big crab, and it was really embarrassing to openly dig at his sister's face. Jokingly, he said: "Sister, with my thin and weak body, this little immortal, where can I go to such a grand temple to lecture on the scriptures? Let's talk about it another time."

  As soon as Li Xiaoteng finished speaking, Fat Sister understood what he meant and immediately stopped talking.

  Zhao Baozi noticed the atmosphere on the table suddenly turned cold. He hastily handed over the freshly wrapped duck roll to his sister, saying: "Come on, sis! I just wrapped this duck roll! It's still warm! Have a bite of roasted duck."

  Fat sister looked at Zhao Fatzi and finally showed a hint of a smile on her face. She took the duck roll handed over by Zhao Fatzi and directly took a bite!

  Kong Zhen looked at Fat Sister and suddenly felt a sour taste in his mouth.

  Actually, Fat Sister is the largest wine house in Xingda Night Market. Li Xiaoteng was invited but politely declined by Li Xiaoteng himself. Of course, other small restaurant owners didn't dare to speak up either. Although everyone had the same idea, no one wanted to be embarrassed.

  Mr. Zhao, who was sitting down, suddenly stood up and said to Li Xiaoteng: "Come on, Xiaoteng, I'll give you a toast!" Li Xiaoteng also quickly got up and drank it in one gulp. Then Mr. Zhao continued: "Xiaoteng, actually I've been thinking of inviting you to join us. If you're willing to come, even if we split the profits 30-70, I'd be happy to do so. But I also know that you have more funds at your disposal than many of us! Don't look at us having run a restaurant for half our lives, but we really don't have as much cash on hand as you!"

  Fat sister suddenly asked strangely: "Xiao Zhao! Is Li Xiaoteng so rich?" Boss Zhao looked at Fat Sister strangely and asked: "Don't you know? The other day, Li Xiaoteng opened a gambling den..."

  "Fat sister suddenly realized and said: "What? The young man who opened the gambling stone is Li Xiaoteng?" Surprised, she muttered to herself: "No wonder... no wonder..."

  "Xiao Teng, why don't you consider starting a catering company too? I've been observing you for so long and I believe you'll definitely make it! When the time comes, we can join forces and open a chain store together. Don't look down on hot pot just because it's not expensive. But once it gets big, the profits are really tempting!"

  Li Xiaoteng held a wine glass in his hand, and suddenly thought of the listed companies in Hua Xia's catering industry: Xiang E Qing...

  In his heart, he thought: Xiang E sentiment is Hunan cuisine, I'll make a Sichuan snack... As he thought about it, he suddenly burst out laughing! Fat sister looked at Li Xiaoteng's expression and suddenly said: "Xiaoteng, why don't you make some Huaxia mala?"

  Suddenly, there was a loud crash, and Li Xiaoteng's cup fell to the ground. A whole cup of wine spilled all over the floor. Looking at Li Xiaoteng's astonished eyes staring at Auntie Huang, he exclaimed in his heart: "Auntie! You can't be a time-traveler too, right?!"

  But with a calm and composed expression, he said: "Great! I like the name Huaxia Good Spicy! When the time comes, I'll really make it happen, and I hope all of you uncles, aunts, big brothers, and sisters will give me face! When the time comes, we'll make our Huaxia Good Spicy go public too!

  "We're not going to list on the Chinese mainland and make money for our own people! We'll go list on NASDAQ instead! Let's make money from those American devils!"

  Li Xiaoteng's words were met with different reactions from the people around him.

  Originally, Manager Dong didn't have the qualifications to sit at this table, but he took advantage of his geographical advantage! Instead, he sat down with Old Zhao.

  Manager Dong thought to himself: If Li Xiaoteng goes public, he will definitely acquire restaurants first! The first choice must be Dongxing Restaurant, I have to hold on to this thigh tightly!

  Manager Dong knew that Li Xiaoteng had pulled in Kong Zhen as a partner yesterday, and now Kong Zhen was just a nominal big boss. He said that he also needed to get along with others. Thinking of this, Manager Dong's gaze at Kong Zhen was different from before.

  Xue boss, Fat Sister, Zhao boss and some other bosses around the soy sauce gang were naturally very happy. In fact, they all looked up to Li Xiaoteng, if he really made it big. They would join his hot pot franchise, take the formula and open a store far away from the night market. Making a fortune every day, doesn't seem like a problem! As for listing on the stock market and other things, these bosses didn't have any concept of that.

  It was precisely because of today's meal, today's decision. All the bosses who had dinner on this table, after Li Xiaoteng's Huaxia Spicy and Numbing Group went public, became the leading big brothers in the Huaxia catering industry! This is a later story, which will be omitted for now.

  They ate dinner for a whole evening. The small bosses looked at the main table and talked about it, then came over to toast again. Li Xiaoteng and others, except for Zhao Baozi who drank a bit more, the rest of them made jokes, blocked wine and ate dishes, but didn't drink much.

  A grand feast, unexpectedly lasted till dawn. Fortunately, the waiters from various restaurants were numerous. After helping Li Xiaoteng and others clean up neatly, they finally brewed a pot of Mao Feng tea and sat quietly in the square, chatting idly.

  Li Xiaoteng held his teacup, just about to take a sip. Suddenly, Zhao Baozi asked urgently: "Teng Ge! Are you really planning to make a big deal out of Huaxia's good spicy food?"

  At this moment, Kong Zhen also perked up his ears and curiously looked at Li Xiaoteng. Only Jiang Di was uninterested and sat in the chair, not paying much attention...

  Li Xiaoteng took a sip of tea and said: "How much money can catering make? Do you know what my dream is?" Everyone shook their heads, indicating that they didn't know.

  Li Xiaoteng straightened his body, with an air of elegance and dignity, and said solemnly: "When poor, be virtuous alone! When rich, have a harem!" Before he finished speaking, the crowd burst into laughter.

  Li Xiaoteng hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Alright, no more joking. Actually, I plan to set up a sunshine private equity firm soon!" Zhao Baozi curiously asked, "What is a sunshine private equity?"

  Jiang Di suddenly sat up straight and asked in surprise: "Xiao Teng! Are you going to do private equity? Don't be kidding..."

  "You may not believe me... What I really want is to stand at the pinnacle of the Huaxia stock market!" Li Xiaoteng's lips curled up slightly, his expression was one of complete confidence!
