"Brother Bai, haven't you eaten yet after getting off the plane?"
Qin Feng looked at the time and saw that it was almost noon. He immediately said: "I have made a reservation at Quanjude, and I will let you taste the authentic Beijing roast duck today..."
When Qin Feng went to San Francisco, he once had roast duck in Chinatown, but the taste was far inferior to the authentic Quanjude. At that time, Qin Feng said that when Bai Zhentian returns to China, he would entertain him with roast duck.
"Okay, I'm just staying in the capital for one day. I don't have anything to do. Please take me to have a nice meal!" Bai Zhentian nodded. He came here just for Qin Feng. After seeing Qin Feng, he felt relieved.
, and don’t want to stay longer in the country.
"Let's go, I just happened to have dinner here. After dinner, I will take you to have afternoon tea. If you are interested, I will take you to the Forbidden City..."
Qin Feng stood up as he spoke and said to Liu Zimo: "Drive your car, I don't want my car to be registered with the relevant departments..."
"My car has been registered, right?" Liu Zimo rolled his eyes and said, "Tomorrow I will go back to Ao Island with Uncle Bai. Will you come and take a look at your property?"
"I can't leave..."
Qin Feng shook his head and said seriously: "Let me reiterate, I will not interfere with the affairs of Ao Island. I will leave it all to you. You don't need to ask me about this kind of thing in the future."
"Why do I feel that you have changed a lot this time you came back?"
As Liu Zimo walked outside, he looked at Qin Feng and said, "You kid, didn't you say that you reached into the coffin before... You must have money, but it's not like money is like dirt now. Are you stimulated by something?"
Liu Zimo and Qin Feng were the first to know each other. He naturally knew how Qin Feng had lived with his sister since he was a child. Although Qin Feng was not stingy, he would never spend an extra penny. This habit has been developed since childhood.
, but it is difficult to change.
But after Qin Feng came back this time, not only was he indifferent to the business of Aodao, but he didn't even seem to care about "Zhen Yufang" which was in crisis. It was completely different from Qin Feng's previous attitude towards money.
"If your life is gone, what's the point of asking for so much money? You will understand after you experience this kind of thing."
Qin Feng walked a few steps and turned back. He waved to Xie Xuan and said, "Xuanzi, come with me. If you have any questions later, just go to Boss Bai directly."
"Hey, Brother Feng, I'm coming right now!"
Hearing Qin Feng's greeting, Xie Xuan quickly followed him. He didn't know Bai Zhentian's identity before, but then Liu Zimo told him that he knew, and Xie Xuan immediately admired him.
When Xie Xuan and Li Tianyuan followed Qin Feng in Jintian City, they often heard about the deeds of the Youth Gang bosses in Jintian. And those people were just branches of Hongmen. It can be seen that Bai Zhentian, President of Hongmen,
The portion is too heavy.
Liu Zimo acted as the driver himself. Qin Feng, Xie Xuan and Bai Zhentian sat in the first car. The following car was filled with several of Bai Zhentian's bodyguards.
After pulling back a few dozen meters, there were still two cars following. Regarding this, both Qin Feng and Bai Zhentian knew very well that people like Bai Zhentian would definitely receive such treatment when they came to the country.
The Quanjude store Qin Feng took Bai Zhentian to was in the direction of Houhai. The car happened to pass through Chang'an Road, showing Bai Zhentian the most central location in the capital.
"This is the Qianmen and Jinshui Bridge?"
When the car drove to the entrance of the Forbidden City, Bai Zhentian couldn't help but get excited. Although he grew up in China, he had never been to the capital.
When the pictures on the TV overlapped with the scene in front of him, Bai Zhentian also felt a surge of blood. It was only at this moment that he felt a blood connection with the earth beneath him.
"That's right. When we finish dinner, I'll take you in for a walk." Qin Feng nodded. Almost everyone who came to the capital for the first time, the most yearning place was this imperial palace.
"The motherland is getting stronger and stronger."
Silently looking at the traffic outside, Bai Zhentian sighed. From the day he left, he knew that he would never be able to live in this land again.
"There is no chance in the future."
Looking at Bai Zhentian's sad face, Qin Feng said with a smile: "When you are tired of staying in the United States, just go to Ao Island to live. It's close there anyway, and you can come back anytime you want..."
"I'm afraid there aren't many opportunities."
Bai Zhentian shook his head. Qin Feng didn't understand Hongmen's organizational structure. To outsiders, Aodao Casino was already a giant, but within Hongmen it was nothing. At best, it was just a relatively high-quality asset.
Therefore, as the leader of Hongmen, Bai Zhentian still needs to stay in San Francisco most of the time. If he really wants to get closer to the country, I am afraid that Hongmen's industries in North America will immediately be attacked by the US government.
"By the way, Qin Feng, you just said that Xiao Xie came to see me for something, what was it?" Bai Zhentian retracted his gaze out of the car window. The more he looked, the more he wanted to return home.
"Brother Feng?"
Xie Xuan looked at Qin Feng when he heard this. In fact, he didn't know the purpose of Qin Feng asking him to follow the car, and he had been thinking about it in his mind.
"Aren't you guys having a headache about the ship? Now that you've met Boss Bai, where has your usual cleverness gone?"
Qin Feng said: "Xie Xuan will need a few freighters for international trade in the future. Brother Bai, please help buy a few and then register them abroad..."
Qin Feng knew that Xie Xuan had no problem registering a company in China, but he couldn't do it when it came to freighters. After all, those businesses were all in line with foreign standards, and this aspect was Xie Xuan's weakness.
After hearing Qin Feng's words, Bai Zhentian smiled and said: "This matter is easy to handle. I heard that there is a ship king in Hong Kong who wants to sell some ships. If nothing unexpected happens, Hongmen will take over and sell it to you.
Just a boat..."
Hongmen once invested in the Greek shipping king's industry in Greece. After the Greek shipping king passed away, the shipping empire he controlled was also taken over by Hongmen. With such a relationship, Bai Zhentian is no stranger to the shipping business.
.
It's a coincidence that Bai Zhentian came to Southeast Asia this time because of the affairs of a deceased shipping king in Hong Kong Island.
When that shipping tycoon was alive, the tonnage of his ships was once the largest in the world. Even though he later declined, he was still a world-famous shipping tycoon.
However, after his death, the shipping business quickly shrank, and his successor began to shift the focus of the consortium to real estate, intending to sell the shipping king's huge fleet.
Bai Zhentian held his position as chairman of the board of directors of the shipping consortium. In order to show how seriously he attached importance to this business, he rushed to Hong Kong Island. However, he only showed his face. The specific matters were handled by the professionals below.
Carry out negotiations.
"Uncle Bai, how much does this boat cost?" Xie Xuan did not dare to call Bai Zhentian eldest brother, so he followed Liu Zimo and called him Uncle Bai.
"I don't know the exact price. How much tonnage do you want? How many ships do you want?" Bai Zhentian asked.
Qin Feng thought for a moment and said, "Just one boat will be enough. The tonnage should be as large as possible."
The more ships there are, the more people need to operate them. Qin Feng doesn't want the secret of the deserted island to be exposed to the world, so he can only use one ship to transport the materials needed in that space.
"Damn, in a few days we will let Huangpu Qiao Zhanghu and the others learn how to operate a freighter..." Qin Feng muttered in his heart. He was not worried about not being able to buy a ship now, but what worried him most was that he didn't have one.
Enough manpower is available.
"In this case, just buy a 100,000-ton freighter!"
Bai Zhentian said: "The most bulk carriers sold on Hong Kong Island this time are 100,000 tons. I heard that the price seems to be around US$50 million, right?"
"Fifty...fifty million? Or dollars?"
Hearing the numbers spit out from Bai Zhentian's mouth, Xie Xuan immediately grimaced and said: "Uncle Bai, I only have three to four billion yuan in real money. After buying your ship, my trading company will go bankrupt."
ah."
After being targeted by Cao Hongzhi, "Zhen Yufang" has not made any profit for several months. Withdrawing these hundreds of millions of funds will have some impact on the operation of "Zhen Yufang", but Xie Xuan can no longer use any other money.
coming.
"Do any of you trade like this?"
Bai Zhentian shook his head and said: "Trading means buying and selling short. Where can I buy my own ship? If you have a lot of business, wouldn't you just rent one? It's only about seven or eight million US dollars a year, right?"
"Huh? That's a good idea." Xie Xuan heard this and looked at Qin Feng. Brother Feng explained that he wanted to buy a boat, but he couldn't be the master of it.
"It's okay to rent a boat, but I have to staff the boat myself." Qin Feng thought about it in his mind and confirmed Bai Zhentian's suggestion. He had never thought that the price of a boat would be so expensive before.
"You can talk about this when the time comes. It shouldn't be a big problem." Bai Zhentian said.
When leasing a ship, it is usually fully equipped with a captain and crew. However, if the lessor does not want these people, the ship owner will definitely not refuse, because the wages of these people are paid by them.
"Well, Xuanzi, tomorrow you and Boss Bai will go to Hong Kong Island to finalize this matter." Qin Feng has been having all kinds of things come to him recently. He can only cut through the mess quickly and solve one thing at a time.
pieces.
"Okay, Brother Feng, I'll book the tickets later."
Xie Xuan nodded repeatedly when he heard this. He wanted to go on a business trip to Hong Kong and Macao, because the last time he and Liu Zimo went to Macao Island, it was so drunk that Xie Xuan still has endless aftertaste.
"Get the business done."
Qin Feng glanced at Xie Xuan. Yesterday, he heard Li Tianyuan scold Xie Xuan, saying that since Xie Xuan broke up with the store manager's girlfriend, he had been going to nightclubs such as Heaven and Earth.
"Brother Feng, don't worry. With Uncle Bai here, nothing can go wrong?" Xie Xuan chuckled and patted Bai Zhentian's ass calmly. (To be continued...)
