After Ye Chen came back from the Middle East last night, he didn't leave the house all day today.
Because today happened to be Saturday, Xiao Churan didn't go to the company, so the couple reorganized their small vegetable garden.
My mother-in-law, Ma Lan, also used crutches to help me, but because of my inconvenient legs and feet, I was basically unable to help.
The two worked hard all day until it was dark, and then they finally finished tidying up the vegetable garden.
Xiao Churan picked some fresh beans and offered to make a meal of braised beans and noodles for Ye Chen.
As a southern girl, she didn't know how to make this kind of northern pasta. She just saw other people's tutorials on the short video platform, and the beans in her garden had just matured, so she thought of showing Ye Chen a lesson.
So, Xiao Churan took his mother Ma Lan and went to the kitchen to work together, while Ye Chen stayed in the small vegetable garden and neatly organized the tools used today.
At this time, Hong Wu called.
As soon as the phone call came through, Hong Wu said respectfully: "Master Ye, I heard from Wei Liang that you introduced me to an intermediary job?"
"Yes." Ye Chen smiled and said, "He told you?"
"Said..." Hong Wu chuckled and said: "He said he was a foreigner who wanted to treat him to dinner, and then asked me to be an intermediary and charge the foreigner five million US dollars. He said he was afraid that he would remember it wrong, so he came to confirm with you.
one time."
Ye Chen laughed casually and said: "He remembered correctly. When the foreigner finds you, you tell him that he wants to have a dinner with Wei Liang and give you five million dollars first."
Hong Wu said in surprise: "Does it really cost five million US dollars? The other party doesn't think I'm here to rip people off, right?"
Ye Chen smiled and said: "It's okay, just tell him that today's quotation is five million, and then it will increase by one million every day and let him think about it."
Hong Wu guessed from Ye Chen's tone that Ye Chen must be trying to trick someone again, so he hurriedly said: "Okay, Master Ye, I remember. After the other party pays, I will transfer it to you as soon as possible."
.”
Ye Chen said: "No, you and Wei Liang should split this money half, just treat it as pocket money."
Hong Wu said hurriedly: "How can this be done... Master Ye saved my life, Hong Wu, and I can't take your money from anyone else..."
Ye Chen smiled and said: "You are my subordinate. If you don't take my money, who else can you take?"
In one sentence, Hong Wuyi didn't know how to answer the question.
Ye Chen said casually at this time: "You two usually worry a lot, so this money is just a small reward for you, so you don't need to be polite to me. Besides, I didn't pay for this money, so I have my own enemies."
out."
Hong Wu quickly said gratefully: "I understand, thank you Master Ye!"
Ye Chen hummed and asked him again: "After the other party pays, you can arrange his accommodation and arrange for him to stay at the Buckingham Palace Hotel."
Hong Wu asked: "Master Ye, what if he doesn't pay today?"
Ye Chen smiled and said: "No, he will definitely pay today."
Hong Wu then said: "Okay Master Ye, then I will make arrangements."
…
On the other side, Smith stayed at the door of Jiuxuan Pharmaceutical until dark, but could not get through Wei Liang's call.
With no choice but to drag his exhausted body, he stopped another taxi and asked the taxi to take him to the Tianxiang Mansion mentioned by the security guard.
After arriving at Tianxiang Mansion, he explained his purpose and was invited to the top floor of Tianxiang Mansion by the waiter at the door.
The top floor of Tianxiang Mansion, like the private rooms below, is extremely well decorated.
However, the top floor belongs to Hong Wu alone. His tea room, which is mainly used for drinking tea, covers an area of nearly one hundred square meters. The environment and conditions are extremely luxurious and cannot be compared to a dog farm.
Hong Wu usually regards this place as his own office. As long as he doesn't go out for business, he stays here.
Smith was taken to Hong Wu's tea room. As soon as he saw Hong Wu, who had a strong aura of martial arts, he hurriedly stepped forward and said politely: "Hello, Mr. Hong! My name is James Smith, from Washington, USA!"
Hong Wu shook hands with him, invited him to sit down across from the sea of tea, and said with a smile: "Mr. Smith, please sit down quickly and have a taste of our Chinese tea!"
Smith quickly sat down and took the tea handed over by Hong Wu. He didn't care about tasting it and said impatiently: "Mr. Hong, I would like to ask your help to make an appointment with Mr. Wei Liang of Jiuxuan Pharmaceutical. I wonder if it is convenient for you here."
?”
Hong Wu said with a smile: "Convenient! Of course it is convenient! As long as the public relations fee is paid, I will make an appointment for you immediately. Then you will make an appointment in the diamond box of my Tianxiang Mansion. You will definitely have a table!"
Smith was overjoyed, but when he thought that Hong Wu would definitely charge a fee, he asked tentatively: "Mr. Hong, I wonder what the public relations fee is?"
Hong Wu chuckled, looked at Smith like a butcher looking at a lamb waiting to be slaughtered, and said with a smile: "If you ask Mr. Wei out for dinner, the public relations fee will be five million US dollars at a time!"
"How many?!"
Smith was so frightened that he almost couldn't sit still.
Five million dollars?! Isn’t this price too outrageous?!
The public relations company I worked with had previously quoted Wei Liang only US$50,000.
Why did Wei Liang increase the price a hundred times when he arrived in China?!
I had spent too much of my savings on treating my child, so how could I get as much as five million US dollars?!
Thinking of this, he said with a sad face: "Mr. Hong, to tell you the truth, my financial situation is far from as good as you think. Let alone US$5 million, even US$50,000, I may have some difficulties now..."
Hong Wu shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly: "Then there is no other way, Mr. Smith, five million is a fixed price, there is no room for any discount, and I will tell you that from now on, every day, this price
It will increase by one million dollars, that is to say, if you have not paid before 12 o'clock tonight, then after 12 o'clock, it will be six million US dollars."
Smith felt dizzy.
He thought to himself: "Is Wei Liang's revenge mentality too strong? Even if I did something wrong, there is no need to directly increase the public relations fee a hundred times, right?"
When Hong Wu saw that he was silent, he took out his business card, handed it to him, and said calmly: "Mr. Smith, you can think about it carefully. When you think about it, call me."
Smith knew that Hong Wu had issued an eviction order, so he couldn't continue to stay here. He could only say helplessly: "Mr. Hong, I will discuss it with my family and contact you as soon as there is a result."
After coming out of Tianxiang Mansion, Smith had mixed feelings in his heart.
The more he encountered obstacles in China, the more he regretted his original attitude towards Wei Liang.
However, regret is regret, and he also knows very well that he will never give up like this now.
Therefore, the only way is to meet Wei Liang first through this Hong Wu.
But the cost of this meeting is indeed astonishingly high, five million US dollars, which is completely beyond what I can afford.
Just when he was at a loss what to do, he suddenly remembered that the Ministry of Health had greeted him before, so he immediately picked up his cell phone and called the other person back.
As soon as the phone call came through, the other party couldn't wait to ask: "Smith, have you met the person in charge of that pharmaceutical company?"
Smith sighed: "Not yet. Their person in charge said that the meeting needs to go through an intermediary, and the intermediary asked for an intermediary fee of five million US dollars..."
"Five million?!" The other party was dumbfounded and blurted out: "Are they crazy? Do they really think that dollars can drop from the sky?"
Smith said helplessly: "That's the attitude they have now. I don't have any other options, and I can't come up with so much money. If you can help me solve this cost, then I will talk to their person in charge."
If we meet again, if you can't solve it, then there's nothing I can do."
There was silence on the other end of the phone for a moment, and Smith could even hear the gritting of teeth on the other end. Then, he heard the other party say angrily: "Damn it! Five million is just five million! This money comes from the budget of our Ministry of Health!"
