Golden Years in the World of Film and Television

So I have a question that I am concerned about: if there is a cold wave or something, how can we protect these tea trees in such a large area of ​​tea mountains? "

Hearing Han Tao's words, the old village chief was stunned for a moment, looked at the hills in front of him worriedly, and said:

"Mr. Han is absolutely right. I was just worrying about this issue. After all, the weather is getting colder, and the temperature is already low this year, so there might be a high tide.

In the past, when we encountered this problem, we had to burn mud to protect the tea trees, so we have to purchase some in advance in case of emergency. However, the cost will increase again, probably hundreds of thousands, ah!

"Hundreds of thousands, do you really need that much money?"

Gu Jia was shocked, as this was an expense she had not planned for. However, despite her worries, she felt relieved when she saw Han Tao beside her. If it weren't for Han Tao, she would probably have been in despair.

If Han Tao didn't help her, the result would be obvious. She would have no choice but to declare bankruptcy, and the villagers and children would completely lose their source of income. Thinking of this, she stared blankly at the tea garden, the busy villagers, and the half-grown children.

Seeing this, Han Tao stepped forward and stood beside Gu Jia, saying with a smile, "Are you worried? In my impression, you, Gu Jia, are not the kind of person who can't afford the risk of failure. Just run it with your heart, and leave the rest to me."

"Thank you. If you hadn't been here, I would have collapsed!"

Gu Jia glanced at Han Tao and sighed, saying that if it weren't for him, she would have two choices. The first was to go bankrupt completely, leaving the scene with a loss of three million. Then the villagers would lose their jobs, and she would not only be condemned by her conscience, but also have to go back to face Xu Huanshan.

Second, continue to spend money on the business, and even put in all the half of the family property that belongs to you after the divorce. If you succeed, everything will be fine, but if you fail, you will have nothing.

Ding~~ Congratulations to the host for obtaining 10 points of goodwill generated by Gu Jia, the heroine of "Nothing But Thirty". The current total goodwill value is 90 points, and the system rewards funds of 200 million.

Special reminder: At this stage, the heroine Gu Jia has been completely conquered. Please continue to work hard and conquer the new heroine as soon as possible.

系统奖励：1、资金一千万；2、肾脏强化一次。3、不动产奖励（君悦府19层房产一套，面积288平米。）

4. Reward 8% of Junsheng Group’s equity (currently holds 33% of the shares, Rongsheng Junsheng Group’s largest shareholder, the current market value is about 40 billion, and the equity change procedure is in progress.)

After hearing the reward reminder, even though he is now worth hundreds of billions, Han Tao still couldn't help but sigh at the power of the system. Four billion is close to one-tenth of his assets.

Especially the property on the 19th floor of Grand Hyatt Mansion. Not to mention that it is 100 square meters larger than the one Gu Jia lives in now, the purpose of this reward is self-evident.

Han Tao, in a good mood, saw that Gu Jia was still messing around and joked, "I rarely see you in this state. How about I lend you my shoulder?"

Gu Jia came back to her senses and rolled her eyes at Han Tao, then whispered angrily, "You're going to die! With so many people watching, do you want to make the rumors true?

Men are all bad, they are the bad guys who eat in the bowl and look at the pot. It doesn't matter if you are single, but I have to pay attention to my image. "

Before Han Tao could respond, He Xingyun, who was a few steps behind, stepped forward and reminded him, "Master, it's almost time. Our flight is at noon, so we should leave."

"Okay, tell Xiwa to prepare the car, we'll go tell the village chief and go down!"

After that, Han Tao and Gu Jia walked side by side to the old village chief and explained the situation. Although the latter was reluctant to let them go, mainly because he was afraid that they would not come back, he still smiled and sent them back to the village, and then packed a lot of tea and local specialties for them.

Knowing that it was the wishes of the villagers, Han Tao and the others did not refuse too much, otherwise they would not feel at ease. As long as they raised the agricultural resources of the tea factory, it would be their greatest reward.

After some instructions, the few of them said goodbye to the villagers and the old village chief, left this tea village deep in the mountains, and prepared to fly back to the Magic City at the airport a hundred miles away.

As the car drove away, Gu Jia picked up bags of tea and looked at them. These were the best handmade teas. Apart from some for herself and some for others, the rest were samples.

In her opinion, these teas are no longer just commodities, but also carry a strong humanistic sentiment. After all, these teas require the judgment and control of tea makers from picking to drying and withering, from rolling to frying and drying. These teas contain the tea makers' full hopes.

Moreover, handmade tea making makes the tea taste richer and more layered, because handmade withering is more flexible than machine-made withering, and the degree of withering of the fresh leaves can be intuitively understood.

In addition, handmade tea is more thoroughly rolled than machine-rolled tea, which can fully roll out the astringent water in the tea leaves and fully break the cells, making the tea leaves more pure, fragrant and mellow.

Handmade tea also allows the rich tea quality in the tea to be preserved. Although the shape and color of handmade tea are not as uniform as machine-made tea, it is heavy in body and soft in hand, which better maintains the original natural flavor of tea and has a pure taste. It is thick, sweet and refreshing, and its color, aroma and taste are much higher than those of machine-made tea.

Chapter 620: Stewardess Zhou Yawen and He Xingyun's First Case

In the first-class cabin of the plane to Shanghai, Han Tao sat down, turned on his computer, and began to check the information about Lianchuang Group that Lina had sent him.

The trial is about to begin, and many things need to be prepared, especially the grasp of the scale. He needs to be prepared. Although some of the information submitted by Han Tao before has been eliminated, there are still too many people involved.

In other words, this is a tough battle, and the Supervisory Commission will inevitably intervene to collect evidence. The relevant persons in charge of Lianchuang Group and the people involved in the information have been restricted from leaving the country. Only after the court's judgment is made and the Discipline Inspection Commission's investigation is completed can they apply to leave the country, but the prerequisite is that they are innocent.

This kind of economic case is very troublesome and involves a huge amount of money. The evidence in Han Tao's hands alone has already reached tens of billions.

The specific number still needs to be determined after the relevant departments have completed their investigation, but this time, Teacher Gao’s transfer plan has basically been completed by one third, so Han Tao will retain a part of it.

There are two reasons for this. One is that it cannot involve too many people, and the other is to leave Teacher Gao with a bargaining chip to establish his authority, and his identity is indeed not suitable for being killed.

He Xingyun, who was sitting nearby, turned around and saw his master Han Tao looking at the information in the computer very seriously. For some reason, compared with the men he knew, he felt that no one could be better than Han Tao.

This was his second time in first class, and He Xingyun was no longer so reserved. After asking Gu Jia if she needed anything, he calmly greeted the flight attendant:

"Miss, please get me a blanket. It's a bit cold!"

"Okay, nice to meet you again, Miss He. Is there anything else you need?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a smiling flight attendant came over from the front row. She turned out to be an acquaintance, Zhou Yawen, the flight attendant who served them last time.

He Xingyun was quite happy to see him, because she was nervous because it was her first time sitting in first class. He chatted with her for a long time and even gave Zhou Yawen a business card before getting off the plane. So she smiled sweetly and said:

"What a coincidence, Sister Yawen, I didn't expect you would be in charge of our cabin when we return."

"Of course, as long as you're flying with our company recently and on this route, I'll be responsible for the first-class cabin."

Zhou Yawen smiled slightly, and as she spoke, she handed He Xingyun a blanket and considerately brought an extra pillow. Then she continued, "You're going back to the Magic City so soon, why don't you stay and play for a few more days?"

He Xingyun shook his head and replied with a smile, "I don't have time. Master still has a big case to deal with. I can only go to the places you recommended to me next time I have the chance. And I must try the delicacies you mentioned."

"That's a shame. The stinky tofu, flavored shrimp, and fire-cooked fish here are all really delicious. People like you who love spicy food will definitely like them."

Zhou Yawen smiled slightly, whispering about delicious food while looking at Han Tao, worried that their conversation would disturb Han Tao and Gu Jia who was sitting next to He Xingyun and reading information about the tea factory.

Han Tao felt her gaze on him, looked up, and saw Zhou Yawen smiling apologetically. He waved his hand to indicate that it was okay, and continued to read the information.

Seeing Zhou Yawen looking at Han Tao, He Xingyun reminded her, "Sister Yawen, didn't you say you needed advice? I'm an intern, so you can take advantage of this time to ask Master. He's the owner of our Mingtang and a well-known lawyer!"

Hearing her words, Zhou Yawen smiled slightly. Although she wanted to ask, she hesitated and refrained from disturbing her. Instead, she spoke briefly to He Xingyun, told her what she wanted help with, and then went to the boarding gate to prepare.

...........................

Time passed quickly and first-class passengers began to board the plane one after another.

"Master, I just took on a case, but I have no experience yet. Could you please take a look at it?"

When He Xingyun saw Han Tao close his computer, he quickly stood up and walked over. Regardless of whether Han Tao agreed or not, he told him that he wanted to help Zhou Yawen.

After all, He Xingyun has not yet completed his internship and cannot take cases independently. He must be accompanied by Han Tao or other lawyers.

However, this was He Xingyun's first time receiving a case. In order to avoid discouraging her enthusiasm, Han Tao nodded and took her phone to look at it.

Zhou Yawen's case is not complicated. Her sister was fired by her company for various reasons because she was pregnant. She happened to know that He Xingyun and others were lawyers, so she asked for advice.

Xu Jie and Chen Ran had taken on the same case before. The only difference was the nature of the company. Zhou Yawen's sister's company was in the financial industry.

This kind of thing happens in many companies. They feel that if they continue to keep such pregnant employees, it will increase a lot of costs. Not only will they not be able to continue working due to advanced pregnancy, but the company will also have to pay relevant salary subsidies in accordance with national regulations.

In fact, this type of case is very easy to handle. As long as you collect evidence, you can go directly to labor arbitration. If the other party refuses to execute, you can also go through legal proceedings to enforce it.

Of course, the premise is that the pregnant employee has not made serious mistakes at work and has not been caught by the leader with any evidence. After all, according to relevant regulations, if the company wants to terminate the labor relationship, certain conditions must be met.

For example, if an employee damages the company's interests or leaks company secrets, etc., it is impossible to fire an old employee for some minor mistakes. Everyone is not a fool, and that will only break people's morale.

Looking at the information about Qing'an Financial Management Co., Ltd., Han Tao was very surprised. He didn't expect there would be an unexpected surprise. This company was the company where Xu Jie worked before, but Sister Zhou Yawen worked in the Shanghai branch.

Han Tao was very familiar with the business of this company. It was because of the company's business that Xu Jie helped Lian Chuang sell financial products and investment funds, which led to the client Sun Jian losing all his money and jumping off the building. She was also used as a scapegoat by the company and her boyfriend Sun Zhewei.

To put it bluntly, this kind of company invests other people's money. If there is a loss, it goes to the customers, and if there is a profit, they get the lion's share. Therefore, the staff turnover in this kind of company is very high, and people with poor stress tolerance will find it difficult to work in this kind of company for a long time.

After reading the information, Han Tao waited for the plane to stabilize before calling Zhou Yawen over and saying:

"Is this case urgent? If it's convenient, have your sister go to Mingtang this afternoon. We want to know the details."

Hearing this, Zhou Yawen nodded happily and thanked him: "Thank you, Mr. Han, thank you for taking our small case. I will call my sister as soon as the plane lands."

"You're welcome. Just contact Lucky directly about this matter. I won't disturb you at work. Go ahead!"

Han Tao signaled her to go find He Xingyun later, and then explained to He Xingyun that she must understand the details of the situation and understand it thoroughly, and also understand the situation of the parties involved clearly, including their specific demands.

Han Tao's principle is this: if he takes a case, no matter how big or small, he must strive for the greatest benefit for the client, and take the opportunity to learn about Qing'an Investment Company and conduct a detailed investigation to see if he can find more evidence to incriminate Lian Chuang.

Qing'an Investment Company is not a small company. As a company that plays with money, there are definitely many routines and tricks in it, and it is definitely not as clean as it seems. The reason why Xu Jie did not have a deep understanding of it was because her position was not high enough at the time, otherwise she would not have been fired as a scapegoat.

Chapter 621: The Journey of Fire

In Shanghai, the twenty-three Lutu coffee shops have become well-known in major business districts over time.

Especially the coffee shop near the Ode to Joy business district, its popularity is second only to the flagship store in Lujiazui. After all, it has been recommended by some big anchors and is already showing signs of becoming an Internet celebrity spot, so many coffee lovers know about this small shop with a storefront of only five square meters.

However, there are two real reasons for its popularity. One is that this shop is really small. It is the first such small coffee shop in Shanghai. Many people come here to check in for unknown reasons. In addition, there is a familiar female manager who is very enthusiastic. Many rich second-generations come to support the opening of the shop. The coffee quality is also high, so there is a long queue since early morning.

Of course, this is also closely related to the great value activities of Lutu Coffee. After all, there are buy one get one free in the first three days, free drink for posting on WeChat Moments, and other discounts.

Lutu Coffee is positioned for coffee lovers and white-collar workers who are unable to enjoy coffee freely due to economic reasons. After all, coffee shops these days basically focus on spacious, comfortable, quiet and elegant environments, but ignore the essential taste of coffee.

Although most customers spend thirty or forty yuan, or even more, to buy a cup of coffee, the costs are all on the venue and labor, so except for a few particularly well-known chain brands, other coffee shops do not have strict quality requirements.

However, Lvtu attaches great importance to quality. Its main focus is on being small and fine. It reduces the site and labor costs as much as possible and puts all resources into coffee beans, so the taste is naturally outstanding.

In addition, the coffee in Lutu Coffee Shop is not only cheaper than some well-known boutique coffee shops, but also cheaper than fast food coffee shops like Starbucks.

In fact, the low price and decent taste are enough for most people. Even coffee lovers can't find any fault with it, so it's understandable that the audience has been expanded. To use a professional term, Lutu Coffee is now striving for the sinking market of coffee users.

At the end of the morning, Fan Shengmei had handed over hundreds of cups of coffee to customers, otherwise the two people in the store would not be able to handle it. Although she was physically tired, when she saw the stream of money being put into the counter, she felt for the first time the joy of starting a business and making money.

It was not until after two o'clock in the afternoon, after sending off the last wave of customers, that Fan Shengmei began to call the other three stores. Then she did a simple calculation of the sales of the four stores under her management and found that it was as high as 35,800.

Looking at the numbers on her phone, Fan Shengmei excitedly sent the good news to the group and shared it with Qiu Yingying, Guan Juer and others.

Qiu Yingying was also busy with her work at this time. She was taking a lunch break in the office. When she saw the message from Gao Sheng Hair Salon, she said in surprise:

"Sister Fan, I sold so much in just this morning. Am I dreaming? Is this real?"

Fan Shengmei rechecked the figures reported by the other three stores, and after checking this one herself, she found the figures were exactly the same as before, and quickly replied:

"You didn't expect that, little earthworm? Honestly, I didn't expect that either, but I can tell you responsibly that this is absolutely true, and this number is correct!"

"Sales have reached over 50,000 in just two days, not counting the afternoon and evening sales. Oh my God, Sister Fan, we're going to be rich!"

Qiu Yingying, Fan Shengmei, and Guan Juer had extra shares from these four stores, so after she sent the message, she jumped up from her chair excitedly, even more exaggerated than Fan Shengmei, the person involved.

Guan Juer also took advantage of the fact that there were still a few minutes before work started and hid aside to send a message: "Sister Fan, you are amazing. Those four stores are not in the best locations, but they have such high sales. You are simply my idol."

"You two silly girls, I dare not take any credit for this. It's all thanks to the head office's good publicity, plus Xiao Qu and a bunch of people going out to the streets, it even made the trending searches, so the popularity must have risen."

Fan Shengmei is still very clear-headed. It’s not just one store of Lutu Coffee that’s popular, but all of them are popular. It’s just that these four stores are better.

However, it is hard to say how long this popularity will last. Fortunately, their quality is excellent and the price is really cheap, so he is confident that even if there is no additional traffic, it will not be too bad.

At this time, a voice came from outside the shop, asking with doubt: "Sister Fan, is there something particularly happy? You look so happy that you can't stop smiling!"

Fan Shengmei looked up and found that it was Andy. She stood up and walked out of the store and said, "Andy, why are you back so early today? Didn't you say that Han Tao would be back in the afternoon and you were going to Daishan Sanatorium?"

"Han Tao has already arrived in Shanghai. He said he was going to meet a friend. The driver will pick me up after picking him up, so I came back while I had plenty of time to pack up the things I brought for Xiao Ming."

Andy smiled slightly and responded to Fan Shengmei while asking, "You haven't answered my question yet, why are you so happy?"

"I just calculated the morning and noon sales of the four stores and couldn't help but share it in the group chat. Xiaoqiu and Guanguan were so excited that I was also infected by their emotions, so I couldn't help but laugh!"

After hearing Fan Shengmei's answer, Andy took out his cell phone and took a look. Even if the daily sales were only more than 30,000, the average monthly sales would be one million, and after deducting the costs, there would be a profit of 300,000.

But Andy was faced with hundreds, thousands, and even hundreds of millions of dollars every day, so he wasn't too impressed. He just nodded and said:

"It's a great start. If we can keep this up, the second batch of 2,000 Lutu Coffee shops will open in a month and a half at the latest, and the Series A funding round will begin. Don't just be happy, you must seize this opportunity!"

"Thank you for the reminder, Andy. Don't worry, I'll seize the opportunity. Xiao Qu and you big bosses are eating meat, so we should at least have some soup too!"

Fan Shengmei made a joke. To her, a monthly sales volume of nearly one million was nothing. This was a career that allowed her to live the life she wanted without relying on others. Of course, the premise was that no one would exploit her.

Ever since she last spoke to her family, her mother and brother and sister-in-law have been surprisingly quiet, which made her feel vaguely uneasy. She always felt that something was wrong. Logically, her mother would definitely be angry with her.

And that unruly brother who has no ambition and gets into trouble every day, he would definitely not be so quiet if he had no source of income.

Because Andy was there, the thought that had just arisen in her mind was suppressed. Andy also noticed her instantaneous change, so the two chatted for a while at the door, and then Andy said goodbye and they went their separate ways.

After Andy returned to her home on the 22nd floor, she took out all the things she had prepared for her brother. This was a habit she had developed recently. Because she would visit Xiao Ming every weekend, she would buy some things that were suitable for Xiao Ming and bring them over.

Fan Shengmei stayed in the store for a while, explained something to the clerk, and then walked straight to the fast food restaurant across the street. She planned to find a quiet place to make a few phone calls.

In addition to understanding the situation at home, Fan Shengmei also planned to contact her former colleagues, but not the people in the human resources department of the foreign company, but a few baristas in the coffee shop where she used to work part-time.

Judging from the current situation, Lutu is really going to be very popular. I will definitely be too busy to handle it in the future. I am in charge of four stores and it is impossible for me to always help out in one store. Moreover, I have received Andy's reminder, so I have to prepare for the future.

After all, she was not in this circle before, so the first thing she thought of was the previous store. Although she had only been there for a short period of time, she still had a good relationship with everyone, including the deputy manager of that store.

As long as the other party is willing to come, Fan Shengmei plans to recruit a few people. At most, she can give them a raise. People go out to work to make money. Although she has never been rich, she has opened up her horizons after being with Han Tao and Andy Damen during this time.
