Chapter 439: The Transaction Price Sets a World Record
"Hello, Mr. Ye Chen, I am Adrian, general manager of Patek Philippe."
After hearing Ye Chen's question, the answer came from the phone.
It turned out that the person who called Ye Chen was Adrian, the general manager of Patek Philippe.
"I'm currently in the capital and I don't know if you have time to meet."
"I can fly to Jiangzhou at any time. The president has prepared a gift for you."
Adrian's Chinese proficiency is average and he is afraid of saying the wrong words, so he speaks very slowly.
A few days ago, there was an important meeting in Shanghai, and Adrian came on behalf of the Patek Philippe Company.
Before coming to Shanghai, the president personally ordered Adrian to visit Ye Chen on his behalf.
Moreover, the president of Patek Philippe also prepared a mysterious gift for Ye Chen, hoping that Adrian could deliver it to Ye Chen.
"Okay, I have time in the evening."
Ye Chen thought for a moment and replied.
"Thank you for your kindness, Ye Chen. I will rush to Jiangzhou immediately to have dinner with you."
A little excited, Adrian's speech speed was faster, but his pronunciation was not so standard.
Ye Chen thought for a while before he understood what Adrian meant.
"Okay, see you tonight"
Ye Chen said a few polite words and then hung up the phone in a hurry.
I have to say that talking to Adrian is indeed a bit difficult.
After hanging up the phone, Ye Chen continued chatting with the two elderly people.
At noon, Grandma Ningshuang wanted to cook, and Ye Chen took the initiative to do the cooking.
Su Ningshuang was helping Ye Chen wash the vegetables.
More than half an hour passed, and Ye Chen made four simple dishes and one soup.
After tasting it, the two old people were full of praise.
"Xiaochen's cooking skills are so good."
"Xiaochen is amazing."
The two old men's impression of Ye Chen improved again, and they became more and more satisfied with Ningshuang's boyfriend.
After dinner, they stayed at Ningshuang's grandpa's house for another hour or two, and then Ye Chen and Su Ningshuang left.
Time flew by and it was night.
Ye Chen drove to a famous high-end restaurant in Jiangzhou.
Half an hour ago, Ye Chen received another call from Adrian. He had arrived in Jiangzhou, and Ye Chen made an appointment with him to meet here.
Ye Chen booked a private room in this restaurant.
When Ye Chen walked to the private room, the door of a private room next to him opened, and a middle-aged man with a big belly and thin hair walked out.
"Hey, isn't this Daxia's boss, Mr. Ye?"
After seeing Ye Chen, the middle-aged man with a big belly said in a strange tone.
This middle-aged man is none other than Zhou Zhiyuan, the chairman of Jiangzhou Zhou Real Estate Group and real estate tycoon.
Zhou Real Estate Group is also a real estate giant in Jiangzhou, and is a bitter rival to Ye Chen's Daxia Real Estate Group.
As the saying goes, "Enemies are extremely jealous when they meet." Although he and Ye Chen are not enemies, they can still be regarded as competitors. Therefore, after meeting Ye Chen, Zhou Zhiyuan will naturally not be polite.
"Mr. Ye, do you have guests to entertain?"
Zhou Zhiyuan asked pointedly.
"What's going on?"
Ye Chen asked back.
"Isn't that a coincidence? I also invited guests today."
Speaking of this, Zhou Zhiyuan became very excited.
The guests he invited today were quite famous, and he had to work hard to get to know them.
To be able to invite him today, Zhou Zhiyuan spent a lot of money.
As Zhou Zhiyuan finished speaking, a burst of noisy footsteps came from outside.
I saw a foreigner about forty years old walking in with a few companions.
"Mr. Bruce."
After seeing this foreigner, Zhou Zhiyuan immediately came over in a flattering manner.
"Mr. Zhou."
Bruce answered in quite fluent Chinese.
"Mr. Ye, let me introduce you."
When the guests he invited arrived, Zhou Zhiyuan naturally started to sneer in front of Ye Chen.
"This Mr. Bruce is the Vice President of Hilton Hotels Group Asia Pacific."
Zhou Zhiyuan said proudly.
Hilton Hotel Group, one of the top ten hotel groups in the world, has more than 4,000 hotels in 84 countries and owns multiple brands such as Hilton, Waldorf Astoria, and DoubleTree by Hilton.
The market value of Hilton Hotel Group is close to 200 billion.
Although this Bruce is only the vice president of Hilton Asia Pacific, in Zhou Zhiyuan's eyes, he is already a big shot.
Being able to meet such a big shot and even have the opportunity to cooperate with the Hilton Hotel Group in the future is definitely something worth showing off.
Facing Ye Chen, Bruce still had arrogant eyes and didn't pay much attention.
Although he is not a real senior executive of the Hilton Hotel Group, Bruce has always been arrogant and rude in his behavior in the name of Hilton.
If Zhou Zhiyuan hadn't spent a lot of money to give Bruce some gifts, Bruce wouldn't have come today.
"Mr. Bruce, let's go into the private room to talk about things."
Zhou Zhiyuan spoke respectfully.
I heard that Hilton Hotel Group recently wanted to build a new five-star hotel in Jiangzhou.
This is a big project.
It was also because of this that Zhou Zhiyuan took so much effort to make friends with Bruce.
"Um."
Bruce nodded, and then under the leadership of Zhou Zhiyuan, they walked towards the private room together.
"Ye Chen, give way and don't block Mr. Bruce's way."
When he walked to Ye Chen, in order to please Bruce, Zhou Zhiyuan asked Ye Chen to move his position.
"The roads here are wide."
Ye Chen replied lightly.
The roads here are very wide and walking is no problem at all.
If Zhou Zhiyuan wants to kneel down and lick this Hilton Asia Pacific Vice President, just kneel down and lick him by yourself and don't disturb him.
"you"
Hearing what Ye Chen said, Zhou Zhiyuan suddenly became angry.
Next to him, Bruce's expression also changed slightly.
"Ye, please don't"
Zhou Zhiyuan just spoke.
"Mr. Adrian, please come this way."
Just then, a voice came.
The next second, led by the staff, Patek Philippe's general manager Adrian and several subordinates walked in.
"Hello Ye Chenxiansheng."
When he walked in, he happened to see Ye Chen, and Adrian greeted him warmly, with a hint of flattery in his tone.
It’s just that Chinese is not that standard.
Although Adrian is the general manager of Patek Philippe and a real senior executive, he does not have any ownership of Patek Philippe.
Therefore, Adrian was naturally extremely polite when he saw Ye Chen, who owned the Patek Philippe 10.
On the other side, Bruce was dumbfounded after seeing Adrian.
