Lily brought Shi Zhong into the president's office. After a while, Andrew came to the office with an enthusiastic face: "Shi Zhong, I'm so happy to see you!"
Shi Zhong stood up, gave him a big hug, and said with a smile: "Andrew, your wealth shocked me. I have the urge to work with you!"
"Shi, you still like to joke so much!" How could Andrew take it seriously? He personally made a cup of tea for Shi Zhong and sat next to Shi Zhong instead of sitting on the president's office chair.
"Good tea, I didn't expect you, a foreigner, to drink tea!" Shi Zhong took a sip of the tea and felt that it tasted pretty good, but if you asked him to say why it was so good, uh, sorry, the most expensive one I've ever had was average.
Tieguanyin.
"I have always admired Chinese culture!" Andrew smiled.
"You like China so much, why don't you give China more political support!" Shi Zhong said with a smile, but he knew a little bit about this guy's background.
"Haha, we businessmen are not involved in that!" Andrew smiled dryly, glanced at Semafa who was standing behind Shi Zhong, and asked, "By the way, this is...?"
"Oh, my Arab friend...and bodyguard, Semafa!" Shi Zhong said, but Semafa just nodded, extremely arrogant. In his eyes, apart from Allah and the king, Shi Zhong is probably half
.
Shi Zhong shrugged helplessly, but Andrew didn't care and said to Shi Zhong: "Shi, why do your Chinese shopping malls always involve so many political factors?"
Shi Zhong smiled and said: "This is China. In fact, you in the UK cannot do without political factors. For example, why do you have to restrict your high technology to China! Why, is it possible that any official dares to show off to you?"
Andrew shook his head and said: "That's not true, it's just... doesn't Shenhai City want to strengthen the deepening of Dongshan Port? I have experienced what it means to have the Eight Immortals crossing the sea. Many projects have been rejected by what you call the princelings due to relationship reasons.
Take it away, and then they transfer the project and get the transfer fee in the middle!"
Shi Zhong also expressed helplessness. What's the use of talking to himself, but he was more interested in the construction of Dongshan Port and asked: "Isn't Dongshan Port always the largest port in Zhejiang? Why is it still being built?"
Andrew said: "The Shenhai Municipal Government wants to build Dongshan Port into a deep-water port, but this submission seems to have not been approved by the Standing Committee. Because Shanghai is already under construction, a consensus was finally reached to expand Dongshan Port to a total length of 1,600 meters of dock shoreline.
There are 5 deep-water berths with an annual designed handling capacity of about 3.5 million TEUs. It is estimated that the investment will be 10 billion yuan and the project will be divided into three phases!"
"It seems that you are going to make a lot of money again this time!" Shi Zhong said with a smile.
Unexpectedly, Andrew had a wry smile on his face: "I was very happy to win the bid the day before yesterday for a US$200 million project. But yesterday, news came from South Africa that a diamond mine that was originally being negotiated was once again explored for a million US dollars.
Carat, a mine that could originally be acquired for one billion US dollars. To acquire it today, the South African government is offering a price of US$1.8 billion. The company’s funds cannot be transferred!”
Shi Zhong took a breath of air. Damn it. Open your mouth and shut up. Hundreds of millions of dollars. Damn it, Shi Zhong suddenly felt so poor!
"Can't the South African side stop for a while?" Shi Zhong said.
Andrew said: "We have been talking for half a year, and the South African diamond giant Longfeiduo has already extended an olive branch to the South African government. I was afraid of long nights and nightmares, so I tightened the company's properties around the world. I didn't expect that exploration would suddenly happen again.
The amount of ore produced!”
"How big is the gap? Can't we get a loan from the bank?" Shi Zhong said.
"I have been doing business with HSBC, but there is already a loan of US$500 million in their account. If I get a loan from another bank, I won't have enough time!" Andrew said.
"Why are you telling me this?" Shi Zhong suddenly asked cautiously, why is this guy telling me this?
"Haha, I'm just complaining. The British upper class only know that, oh, the Marquis de Saint-Germain is extremely wealthy, and his wealth can even buy the entire Buckingham Palace. But they don't know that I am also deeply in debt and owe a lot of debt!" Andrew
complained.
"You have to know how the company can prepare so much liquidity. I have tightened my properties around the world, even sold off several properties, and borrowed US$200 million from banks to raise funds. There is still a gap of more than US$50 million!" Andrew
Just like a resentful woman, she tells all kinds of things about her husband.
"Fifty million?" Shi Zhong thought for a moment, and thought about it, well, should he borrow it or not? To facilitate his own money laundering? As long as all the procedures are done on the books and the funds are passed privately, can the money be legalized?
When Shi Zhong mentioned his idea, Andrew said: "What you are doing is mixing illegal funds with the company's legal funds as the company's legitimate proceeds. It is a very common method of money laundering!" Suddenly, Andrew said, "What? You have
Need to launder a lot of money?"
Shi Zhong pondered for a while and said: "I have fifty million, you know, the kind...well, the origin cannot be put on the table. I have been worrying about this matter recently. I only have a small business in my name."
company!"
"U.S. dollars?" Andrew asked carefully.
Shi Zhong nodded.
Andrew was so happy that he almost slapped his thigh and said: "Shi, you are really my savior. How about this? Let's cooperate and register a new port company. When the time comes, I will transfer part of the business to this port company. The actual operation will still be my company."
, how about just making enough money in the books? You only need to invest 50 million US dollars, and you can rest assured that the rate of return for this phase of the project will definitely exceed 50%, and it will be 80 million US dollars after one year!" After that!
, looked at Shi Zhong expectantly.
Seeing Shi Zhong's hesitation, Andrew said: "Shi, we are good friends. I have always regarded you as my closest friend!"
"Okay!" Shi Zhong agreed after thinking about it for a moment. He didn't know how to explain the amount of money, which was fifty million U.S. dollars, more than three hundred million yuan. He felt relieved after cooperating with Andrew. By then, he could make peace with his investment with fifty million U.S. dollars.
Enter the account, we earned it, who would come to check on me? He is not a civil servant, and Shi Zhong believes that Andrew, an old fox in the mall, will help him arrange everything!
Andrew was overjoyed and stood up to give Shi Zhong a big hug: "Shi, you have solved a big problem for me. The South Africa business is the largest business I have invested in these years. I will give you the largest diamond as a gift!"
"Hey, it's okay, we are the closest friends. Actually, I really have something to ask you!" Shi Zhong said with a smile.
"What's the matter? Tell me!" Andrew was rarely generous.
"Can you give that to me? If not, I'll buy it with money!" Shi Zhong pointed to the cabinet and said. Andrew looked at it and saw a brocade box with a ginseng inside. He smiled and said, "It's just a ginseng."
, I took it from Christie’s last year and it has been placed on the cabinet shelf. If you like it, feel free to take it!”
Shi Zhong was overjoyed, but he said, "I'll pay you exactly how much you spent!"
Andrew waved his hand and said: "One million, but it's nothing compared to the help you helped me, Shi, please don't insist!" If the British nobles saw this, they would be so surprised that they couldn't close their mouths and were stingy.
The Marquis Grandet is so generous!
Shi Zhong smiled, and naturally he would not refuse again. He had already noticed this wild ginseng. Andrew had not covered it at all, and it was still lying sideways. He could see it when he stood and looked at it. Looking at the head, he estimated that it was seven or eight years old.
Ten years.
Shi Zhong took the brocade box and handed it to Semafa. Although Semafa didn't know why the boss asked for this seemingly innocuous plant, he knew that he would unconditionally carry out the boss's order and held the brocade box firmly in his hand.
Shangri-La, lobby.
Yes, I heard it right, it was in the hall. Andrew's explanation was that there was no longer a box, but Shi Zhong was very doubtful about this sentence because he thought of Andrew's nickname, Marquis de Grandet, who was famous for being stingy.
"Shi, this is the steak I ordered the restaurant to cook specially. This is authentic Western food!" Andrew said with a smile.
"Thank you, then I really want to try it!" Shi Zhong said.
Bu Diandian was speechless. He picked up a girl this morning and insisted on coming to the hotel to eat Western food. But because she looked so beautiful, Bu Diandian had no choice but to grit his teeth and bring her to the Shangri-La restaurant.
Needless to say, the Western food here does feel different from other restaurants. Looking at the infatuated expression of the girl opposite, Bu Doandian knew that there was something going on tonight.
"I'm going to the bathroom!" Bu Diandian stood up and said. She walked all the way and touched up her makeup in the bathroom. Suddenly, she met a man who made her face change. Just when she was about to lower her head, the man noticed her.
"Smelly bitch, it's you? I really can't find anything after wearing iron shoes!" This person is Fu Nan of Tongnan Street who was knocked unconscious by a beer bottle from Shi Zhong last night, and everyone on the street calls him Brother Nan.
"You got the wrong person!" Bu Diandian lowered his head and was about to leave. Unexpectedly, Fu Nan stretched out his hand to stop you, with a fierce look on his face, "Don't worry, I won't touch you in the hotel, but I will arrange people outside.
Don’t even think about leaving tonight. If you dare to hit me, you will be raped!”
"You...I'll call the police!" Bu Diandian was so frightened that his face turned pale. His breathing was rapid and his chest was rising and falling, which made Fu Nan feel lustful.
"Hey, call the police? You can go and report it. You have to know that the police are always the last to arrive. By then, you are already moaning under my crotch. I have played with so many women, but I have never been gay!"
Fu Nan looked at Bu Dot's sensitive areas with a lewd smile, wishing he could rape her with his eyes.
Bu Diandian was so frightened that her face turned pale. Fu Nan laughed proudly and walked into the bathroom.
"Damn, I'm calling you arrogant!"
A voice came, and immediately there was a "bang" sound. Budian turned his head and looked surprised. He saw Shi Zhong, whom he had just met last night, stomping on the very proud Fu Nan, who was screaming on the ground.
Although Shi Zhong no longer had spiritual energy to add to his body, his physical fitness had been slightly improved. Even though Fu Nan had been living in the streets since childhood, he could not withstand the sneak attack and could only protect his head from being beaten.
Didn't you see that there was Semafa behind Shi Zhong who didn't take action? The big man Semafa was wearing a black suit and stood motionless with a solemn expression. He even followed Shi Zhong when he went to the toilet. He was indeed a dedicated bodyguard.
