“This steak is well cooked, tender, chewy, and juicy.”
"It's great that you like it. I was worried that you wouldn't be used to Western food."
"I may not be used to other people's food, but I will definitely like what you make, Anna."
"Gee, you are really good at talking, Chu."
At the dining table in the living room of the apartment, Chu Heng and Anna were chatting and laughing while eating the steak on the plate.
Cen Hao didn't participate in the whole process, just working on the rice. He didn't like cutting it with a knife and eating it too slowly. He just picked up the whole piece with a fork and stuffed it into his mouth, and the juice flowed out from the food.
As for whether this thing is cooked or not, he doesn't care at all.
For a person who has not even realized the freedom to eat meat, it is enough to eat meat. It does not matter whether it is cooked or not.
Avima didn't participate either. She ate her salad absentmindedly and glanced at Chu Heng from time to time. She hesitated several times, but finally couldn't hold it back and asked: "Chu, you said my book sold
If you go there so much, how much remuneration can you get?"
Chu Heng stopped when he heard this, glanced at her sideways, and said lightly: "Of these more than two million books, most of them should be sold overseas, and Chrissy entrusted Random House to sell this part.
He can't earn much at all. If you add in various taxes and fees, he can get almost more than 2 million dollars. The contract I signed with him before was a 20% share, which is about 400,000 dollars."
"Four hundred thousand!"
Avima's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Ka!" Anna, who boasts of having seen big waves, lost her composure because of this huge sum of money and spent all her money on the plate. Although she is a wealthy woman, 400,000 yuan is still a lot of money for her!
Cen Hao also stopped chewing and looked over with wide eyes.
One book, earning 400,000?
I’m a bitch!
Avima licked her lips, rubbed her hands again, and said to Chu Heng expectantly: "Um...Chu, you see, I also contributed a lot to this book, and it was also in my name.
cannot……"
"cannot."
Chu Hengheng glanced at her and said calmly: "We have agreed a long time ago that I will benefit from your name."
"It's indeed the agreement, but you've already made 400,000, so just share it with me." Avima looked at him pitifully, like a puppy wagging its tail begging for mercy: "Please, I don't have a penny now."
It’s all gone.”
"Don't think about it. I can't get a cent of the 400,000 yuan. I have to hand it over." Chu Heng rolled his eyes at her, lowered his head, cut a piece of steak and stuffed it into his mouth. After tasting it slowly,
He picked up the red wine glass and took a sip, and then said to the listless Ivy: "You don't have to do this. Now that the book has been sold, I believe a reporter will come to visit you soon, and you will have a generous salary by then."
Rewarded."
"Then I can only hope they come over quickly." Avima leaned weakly on the chair, wilting like a fish that has been exposed to the sun for an hour after leaving the water.
She was really fed up with having to ask Anna for every penny she spent.
"Hey, by the way." Chu Heng looked at Anna again and asked while eating: "How are you doing here? Have you contacted the senior officials of Hong Kong Island?"
"We are already in contact." Anna nodded with a smile, pointed to the lying corpse of Ivy Code, and said: "What a coincidence, the Finance Secretary's daughter, Becky, turned out to be a fan of Ivy Code, so we were very relaxed.
I became friends with her and got to know many Hong Kong officials through her.”
"Good job." Chu Heng gave them both a complimenting look, and then asked: "Where is the person I asked you to contact? How is it going?"
"Already contacted." Avima leaned softly on the chair and hummed: "That man's name is Bartram Gavin, he is a collector who never sets, and he is also an out-and-out pervert.
Ghost..., I'm on Hong Kong Island now, and I can arrange for you to meet at any time."
"Then let's do it tomorrow." Chu Heng put down the red wine glass, picked up the tablecloth and wiped the oil stains and scarlet wine liquid on the corners of his mouth. He pondered for a moment and said: "If everything goes well tomorrow, we will start preparing for the trading company as soon as possible, and
, Anna, you need to help me find out how to register an offshore company. I need several offshore companies to transfer funds."
"It's not a hassle. Just find an agent and leave it to me."
"good."
…
The night is beautiful.
Chu Heng stood with his hands behind his hands in front of the window of a guest room on the 21st floor of the Mandarin Hotel, looking at the brightly lit Victoria Harbor not far away, thinking over and over in his mind what he needed to do for this trip.
.
The first thing is to open a company. This is a must and the key to his trip.
Another thing is to go to Java Island. Last year, Zhang Yiyi gave him a large safe left by Fujiwara Koji, an officer of the Japs during the Anti-Japanese War. A lot of things were issued at that time, including a copy of Fujiwara Koji's in Indonesia.
He was going to take a look at the treasure map of Java Island to see if it was still there, otherwise it would be useless to keep thinking about it.
Then he might have to go to Citigroup.
The possibility depends on the result of tomorrow's transaction. Tomorrow he will go to see the man who never sets on the sun and sell the oil painting by Giorgione. At the same time, he is also planning to take out two imitation bronze handicrafts to try.
After testing the waters, if the person couldn't see anything, he was going to go to Citigroup and ask Chrissy to contact a few big buyers and sell everything.
When the important things were over, he was going to take a look at the old man and the others.
"Squeak!"
At this time, the bathroom door was opened, and Cen Hao, who had been in there for almost an hour, came out with his bare butt covered in water vapor, and said to Chu Heng with an excited look: "Master Chu, you go and take a shower too.
Well, it was so comfortable to soak in that bathtub, I almost fell asleep."
Chu Heng came back to his senses, turned to look at the naked Cen Hao, cast a contemptuous look, and said excitedly: "Put on your clothes, I will take you for a walk."
"well!"
Cen Hao was overjoyed when he heard this and hurriedly went to the suitcase to look for clothes. He also wanted to take a stroll around the neon-filled Hong Kong Island.
Not long after, two guys wearing dog-like clothes took the elevator and came to the hotel lobby.
Chu Heng stood in the lobby and walked around for a while, then waved to a young man who had helped him carry his luggage: "Come here."
The young man hurriedly came to this generous guest and asked with a smile on his face: "Can I help you, sir?"
Chu Heng stuffed ten Hong Kong dollars into his pocket and asked directly: "Do you know any fun nightclubs around here?"
"I know, I know." The young man nodded with a smile and said, "There is a Du Lao Zhi Dance Hall in Wan Chai. There are many beautiful girls, but the prices there are a bit expensive. Just listening to music and drinking will cost me a month." salary. "
"How much is your monthly salary?" Chu Heng asked cautiously.
"Four hundred yuan," the young man said hurriedly.
That's less than a hundred dollars.
Chu Heng, who had 20,000 knives lying in the warehouse, immediately felt confident when he heard it, and immediately ordered the young man to prepare the car, planning to wait for him to criticize it.
