Over there, Zhao Yongqiang's face became more and more gloomy as he listened to the phone, and said: "Commercial Bureau, don't you have nothing to do?"
A hoarse voice came from the other side: "Brother Zhao, it's not that I don't help. You also know that Vice Mayor Zou just recently proposed to serve as mayor, and he has a close relationship with Wang Zixiang of Yitong Catering. It's not my fault. Zhao
Brother, I also advise you, don’t take it seriously!”.
After hanging up the phone, Zhao Yongqiang was so angry that he threw the phone to the ground on the spot.
In the evening, Shi Zhong once again spent several hours with Xu Wei.
The next day, Shi Zhong received a call from Andrew. The Marquis came to Lianda City. Shi Zhong originally said he was going to pick him up, but Andrew said he could just go directly to Shi Zhong's residence. Shi Zhong thought about it too.
Half an hour later, Shi Zhong greeted Andrew with a smile on his face at the hotel door.
This guy is much more graceful than before, and his clothes are still meticulous. It seems that he gained a lot from his last trip to London.
"Oh, dear Shi, my friend, I'm so happy to see you!" Andrew's enthusiasm made Shi Zhong unacceptable, and he gave Shi Zhong a hard hug and a kiss.
"Dear Andrew, my dearest friend, I miss you like a devout believer longs for God!" If you want to be disgusting, then it depends on who is disgusting. It is indeed a bit embarrassing for two grown men to say such words.
It gave Shi Zhong, who is Chinese, goosebumps.
The two of them exchanged pleasantries, and it was now eight o'clock in the morning. Andrew was in a hurry and didn't even eat breakfast.
So, just in time, the two of them had breakfast in the lobby, but there was one problem. Andrew's two burly bodyguards were standing behind him like a piece of wood.
"I think you can understand the rigor of Germans!" Andrew shrugged and said.
I have heard before that Germans are serious and rigorous, and it seems that there is some basis for this.
The two of them had breakfast quietly. Shi Zhong could not bear such an atmosphere, but as Andrew said, dining is a sacred thing and must be done attentively. Seeing this British nobleman eating meticulously and conscientiously, Shi Zhong could only smile helplessly.
When Andrew put down the tableware, he saw Shi Zhong staring at him, and there was still more than half of the breakfast left on his plate. He couldn't help but said: "Shi, aren't you hungry?"
"I can't get used to bread, sausages and the like!" Shi Zhong shook his head and said, his breakfast usually consists of steamed buns and tofu.
"Oh, that's really careless on my part. I'll order another Chinese breakfast for you!"
"No, no, Andrew, no need to be so polite, we are friends, aren't we?" Shi Zhong said.
Andrew was about to speak when a surprised voice suddenly sounded: "Sir Andrew, I didn't expect to see you here. It's such an honor!"
Shi Zhong looked around and was stunned for a moment. He saw Wang Zixiang walking over. Behind him stood a beautiful woman. She looked familiar to Shi Zhong, as if she looked like a second-tier star, but he couldn't remember it at the moment.
When he got closer, he saw that Shi Zhong was also there. A trace of surprise flashed in Wang Zixiang's eyes, but he quickly concealed it. He smiled and nodded to Shi Zhong, and Shi Zhong naturally returned the favor, even though it was this guy who wanted to sue the third child.
, but you can’t lose your etiquette.
Andrew stood up, shook hands with Wang Zixiang, and said: "Mr. Wang, in the words of you Chinese people, this is called understanding. It seems that we are destined to meet each other thousands of miles away!"
"Pfft!"
Shi Zhong, who was drinking milk, almost squirted. This guy is so funny, and he still has a good understanding of China. He is said to be a China expert, but this guy sometimes uses idioms randomly, saying that he is not, and he knows a lot about China.
"Sir Andrew, I am overjoyed to see you come to Lianda City. I have already seen the prospects of our cooperation. I am waiting for you in the office!"
Wang Zixiang's expression did not change, which made Shi Zhong nod secretly. This guy could bear it. It seemed that he had a certain level of self-cultivation and the city's government.
"Okay, okay!"
The two exchanged pleasantries, Wang Zixiang nodded to Shi Zhong, and then left.
"Do you know Wang Zixiang?"
Shi Zhong asked a question that he thought was an idiot, but he still asked it.
Andrew nodded and said: "I want to enter the Chinese catering industry, and Lianda City is my choice as a pilot. With Wang Zixiang's strength, I am currently the only candidate for cooperation in Lianda City!"
"..." Shi Zhong was silent.
"What? Shi, from your tone, it seems that you have some trouble with this Wang Zixiang?" Andrew was so shrewd that he could see something strange about Shi Zhong at a glance.
"Andrew, when will you repay my 10 million? You have entered Chinese catering. It seems that you are rich!" Shi Zhong suddenly asked, looking at Andrew teasingly.
Andrew smiled dryly, remembering that he had said before that the capital turnover could not be opened, didn't this mean that he was lying?
Andrew said solemnly: "Shi, actually, I have something important to discuss with you this time!"
"Oh? What's the matter? Could it be that the capital turnover is limited again?" Shi Zhong said.
Andrew's face froze, and he couldn't stand up. He shrugged and said: "Shi, you always like to expose my shortcomings. Okay, I admit, I used a trick before, but we had just met before, so we couldn't
It’s my fault, isn’t it?”
"Tell me, what's the matter?" Shi Zhong said.
"Well, I'm planning to invest in a water supply company, and I'd like you to join me as well. You know, as long as China's water supply companies are well run, their profits can be as high as 18%. This is an irresistible temptation!" Andrew
road.
"Water company? Chinese?" Shi Zhong said in surprise.
"What do you think?"
"Water supply companies are related to people's livelihood. Does the government allow you to control them with foreign capital? Then from now on, you will raise the prices when you say so, making a lot of money from the Chinese people?" Shi Zhong said.
"You are worrying too much about this. The water plant will not run away, so there is no need to worry about the loss of assets. The water price must also go through a price hearing. The water plant will not raise the price if it wants to. So the idea of blackmailing the government is completely nonsense.
Talk!”
"In addition, state-owned water plants do not necessarily serve the people the most, and foreign-owned or privatized water plants do not necessarily exploit the people the most. The key depends on regulatory measures and the government's compensation mechanism for water prices."
Andrew talked eloquently, explaining the pros and cons, and finally said: "I plan to invest 100 million to acquire the water company. The cost can be recovered in up to four years. There is no reason to lose money!"
"Why are you telling me this? Since you can make money so much, wouldn't it be better for you to just make money in silence!" Shi Zhong said.
"In my eyes, friends are the most precious, and money can never be earned!" Andrew.
"Do you think I will believe it?" Shi Zhong rolled his eyes. This stingy guy is famous in the UK and even in Europe.
"I'm telling the truth!" Andrew insisted.
"Okay, I know your plan. You want to lure me into the trap. Who said the water company will make a guaranteed profit? Pulling my ten million down will not only save me the ten million in repayment, but also reduce investment.
With funds, you can also avoid risks. Andrew, my friend, am I right?" Shi Zhong looked at Andrew with sharp eyes, and thought to himself: This guy is indeed a famous miser, and the name Marquis Grandet is worthy of his name.
Even ten million is calculated so carefully.
"Well... the weather is nice today!" Andrew said without changing his expression, and actually used Chinese humor.
"Actually, it's not impossible for me to agree, but for the sake of my friends, you have to do me a little favor!" Shi Zhong said with a smile.
"What a small favor?" Andrew asked, and Shi Zhong's smile told him that it was not that simple.
So, Shi Zhong told Andrew about Xu Wei's story, and finally said: "Actually, it's very simple. You just need to call Wang Zixiang and say that Xu Wei is your friend. I think he will consider the pros and cons.
Yes, you see, your one sentence won me 10 million investment, Andrew, I have to say, you really got a huge advantage!"
At this time, Xu Wei was in a daze in the office. He had already written his resignation letter. A year of hard work had gone down the drain, and he had to lose his girlfriend's savings and all his debts.
