Chapter 1090 1088 [Boiling in the same pot and fishing in the same pot!]
"Father, how are things today?"
When John Hong returned home at night after finishing his work, he saw his father Hong Kun's face was very solemn.
Long Kui, Dao Zaihao and others who were following Hong Kun had the same look on their faces, without even the slightest smile.
Hong Kun rolled up his sleeves, took the towel handed over by the servant, wiped his face and hands, and then took the purple sand teapot handed over by the servant, held it in his palm and took a sip, looked up at his son and said: "
How did you know that Shi Zhijian?"
"Huh?" John Hong was stunned, not understanding why his father suddenly asked such a question.
Long Kui, Dao Zaihao and others also looked at Hong John, their faces full of curiosity.
John Hong was confused and said: "As I said, Shi Zhijian is a friend of Xu Shixun, the third young master of Hong Kong. It was the third young master who called me and asked me to help him take care of Shi Zhijian."
Hong Kun stared at his son: "That's all?"
"Well, that's all!"
"Nothing else?"
"there is none left."
"Do you know who Shi Zhijian is?"
John Hong said: "Isn't he just a rich man from Hong Kong? What's going on? Did something happen tonight?"
Seeing that his son didn't look like he was lying, Hong Kun couldn't help but sit on the sofa and sighed: "No, he solved it very well!"
"But..." Hong John thought to himself, since the solution is very good, why do you seem so unhappy?
As if he could understand his son's thoughts, Hong Kun put the purple clay teapot in his hand on the coffee table and said: "We are not unhappy, we are shocked!"
"shock?"
"Yes, if you had been there at that time, you would have been surprised!" Hong Kun then told what happened at the French restaurant tonight.
After hearing this, John Hong was stunned!
At this moment, he finally understood why his father and Long Kui had such expressions.
For people like Hong Kun and others, the most common way to solve problems is to fight and kill, but today Shi Zhijian showed them what it means to "disintegrate the Japanese gang and the Vietnamese gang without bloodshed"!
What Hong Kun and the others had not been able to do for so many years was managed by Shi Zhijian while talking and laughing!
powerful!
It's really too strong!
"John, this friend of yours is not an ordinary person!" Hong Kun said, "He can command Charlemagne, the devilish police chief, and can also invite Martins, the president of Cambridge University. Based on this alone, he is not an ordinary person!"
Hiss!
Hong John took a breath. In his understanding, Shi Zhijian was just a good friend of Mr. Xu, a young man from Hong Kong. He didn't expect his identity to be so mysterious!
When I thought again that I actually acted as the boss and treated Shi Zhijian as my younger brother, I immediately felt ridiculous in my heart!
"He should be my boss! So sharp!"
"Uh, John, what did you say?"
"Oh, it's nothing," John Hong hurriedly joked, "It seems I don't know much about him! But don't worry, father, I will definitely find out where he comes from!"
Hong Kun waved his hand: "There is no need to do it so deliberately! Since you are brothers with him, and he has helped us Chaozhou a lot, then he is our friend - it is good to be friends and know each other well, so what if you find out clearly? Could it be that he
Since you are in a position of great authority, you just go over there and fawn over me?"
"this---"
After all, Hong Kun was someone who had come before, and a rare smile appeared on his solemn face: "I will promise to him that you will not interfere with the affairs of the Chaozhou Gang in the future. If Shi Zhijian needs anything, just go over and help!"
Hong John still wanted to speak, but Hong Kun interrupted him again: "You are a top student at Cambridge University. It's really unfair for you to be trapped in Chinatown! If you have the ability, spread your wings and fly high! As for Shi Zhijian, can he help you?
Put on your wings, it depends on your luck!"
John Hong wondered if he had heard it wrong and looked in disbelief!
Seeing his son's surprised look, Hong Kun couldn't help but get up and walk to Hong John, stretched out his hand to touch his son's forehead, and said in a guilty tone: "I have wronged you in the past few years!"
At this moment, the long-standing estrangement between father and son was broken!
John Hong felt a warm current in his heart and stammered: "No... no, I also know that my father is doing it for the good of the club!"
Hong Kun smiled: "Stop calling me a dictator? A tyrant?"
"How could that happen?" John Hong scratched his head, looking embarrassed.
Long Kui and Dao Zaihao watched this scene, and for some reason, their hearts felt warm.
…
While John Hong and his father Hong Kun were "studying" Shi Zhijian, Shi Zhijian invited Principal Martins and Sheriff Charlemagne to Pacha Nightclub.
Pacha Nightclub is London's most famous midnight hangout, located in the Victoria District.
This nightclub has a long history, even dating back to the 1920s. The original oak paneling and stained glass ceiling are very distinctive. Many big British stars like to perform here, especially when the Beatles broke up last year.
, and even held its final performance here.
Although Shi Zhijian had just arrived in London not long ago, he knew the nightlife of these ghost guys very well.
That's why Shi Zhijian took the initiative to invite the two big shots who helped him a lot tonight to come here to have fun.
Martins insisted on his special status and was a little embarrassed at first, but because of Shi Zhijian's sincerity, he followed.
Shi Zhijian asked for the best private room in this nightclub as soon as he opened his mouth. It was at the level of an emperor and would cost at least tens of thousands of pounds.
Shi Zhijian's move immediately made the nightclub manager, who looked down upon others, look at the Chinese man in front of him with admiration.
The decoration and facilities in the imperial box are first-class, and even a big shot like Martins can't fault it.
Shi Zhijian asked the boss to call some ghost girls to accompany the wine, and opened two bottles of the "king of wine" Romanee-Conti in one go. One bottle cost almost 30,000 pounds, which showed his luxury!
The nightclub manager was smiling from ear to ear, but he still acted like a gentleman and took the initiative to help Shi Zhijian and others pour wine. His posture was perfect, and he was set off by a white cloth. He smelled bottle corks, poured wine on the wall, and invited Shi Zhijian and others to try it.
Liquor, etc., the cumbersome drinking procedures made Shi Zhijian have to sigh that the British people have really achieved the ultimate in enjoying this!
…
After three rounds of drinking,
Shi Zhijian glanced at the wine girls and asked them to go ahead.
The hostesses in such high-end places are all fine people. They know that the other party has something to say and it is not convenient for them to be there, so they leave with a smile.
After the girls left, Shi Zhijian snapped his fingers and signaled to Yan Xiong who was standing behind him.
Yan Xiong hurriedly stepped forward, took out two paper bags and handed them to Shi Zhijian.
Shi Zhijian smiled and pushed the two paper bags in front of Martins and Charlemagne.
"Dear Mr. Shi, this is——"
"You two can take a look!"
"Huh?" Martins and Charlemagne reached for the bag and opened it. They were shocked to see that it was full of brand-new pounds!
"We Chinese like real money when doing things, but we don't like using checks very much. I hope you can forgive me!" Shi Zhijian took out two cigars and handed them over with a smile.
"Mr. Shi, what do you mean?" Martins asked.
"Thank you both for your help today, this is a thank you gift!" Shi Zhijian also took a cigar in his hand, pointed at the money with the cigar between his fingers: "It's not much, only one hundred thousand!"
One hundred thousand pounds?
Martins and Charlemagne looked at each other and were shocked by Shi Zhijian's generous gift.
"No reward for no merit, how can this be allowed-" Martins pushed the money bag back.
Shi Zhijian smiled: "Mr. Martins, don't be embarrassed, this is all my wish! To be honest, if it weren't for your help today, things wouldn't have gone so smoothly!"
"But---"
Shi Zhijian pushed the money back again, "Besides, I have one more thing to discuss with you!"
Hearing that Shi Zhijian wanted to ask for something, Martins took the money again, "But you don't know what it is?"
"It's like this. There are many aspiring young people like me in Hong Kong who want to study in London, England. However, due to various reasons, many of them are unable to enter prestigious universities like Cambridge and Oxford - if Mr. Martins can
Please give me a helping hand. I want to set up a company in Hong Kong responsible for studying in the UK. It will mainly support two companies on one hand, so that those aspiring young people can complete their studies, and we can also get some funds to contribute to the construction of the school!
"
Shi Zhijian said it very tactfully, but Martins heard it right away. This is a big business! Hong Kong people have so much money. If we can set up a company specifically responsible for studying abroad, the profits will definitely be huge!
"But I am -" Martins hesitated, wanting to say that he was the principal and could not do such a thing.
Shi Zhijian interrupted him and said: "Don't worry, Mr. Martins! I know what you are worried about, but times are different now. Studying abroad will be a global trend in the future. Many people will study from one country to another. This kind of
Things will become a trend! As the principal of Cambridge, I think you are a noble person, a pure person, a person who has escaped from vulgar taste! You should become a giant leading this trend! And I am willing to be your best
A faithful companion!"
Shi Zhijian's eloquence directly made Martins, a geek, very happy with his praise.
Charlemagne, who was listening next to him, was even more impressed by Shi Zhijian.
"Oh God, dear Mr. Shi Zhijian, what you said makes me have to do something!"
"Of course, you are an outstanding big shot. I believe that Shinhwa Study Abroad Company will be prosperous in the future and will successfully train more students under your hands!" Shi Zhijian raised his red wine glass after speaking.
Come, let’s toast!”
Martins is very satisfied with Shi Zhijian’s attitude. We didn’t open the company to make money, but to help people and help more overseas students!
"cheers!"
The two clinked glasses to celebrate!
In Shi Zhijian’s view, the business of studying abroad was already commonplace in the previous generation, but this era has just started!
And the profit from this piece of pie is unimaginably high!
In the last life, the amount contributed by China's overseas study business alone reached 68 billion, not counting underground black intermediaries.
Now that Hong Kong's economy is booming, many young people in Hong Kong have plans to study abroad, but this aspect of the business is immature. If there is an intermediary company that can help, it will definitely make money!
If nothing else, let’s just talk about the rich and young people in Hong Kong. They can spend millions to study abroad. What’s more, in addition to these introduction fees and handling fees, they can also rely on arranging their needs such as food, clothing, housing and transportation.
Make a lot of money here!
In addition, Hu Juncai, Shi Zhijian's subordinate in Hong Kong, used to work as a labor agency, mainly introducing Filipino maids to work in Hong Kong. Now it just happens that Hu Juncai, who is a street management company, connects with Martins in Hong Kong.
Shi Zhijian roughly estimates that if this company is really established, it will earn at least tens of millions a year!
After Shi Zhijian finished drinking, he looked at Mr. Charlemagne again and said with a smile: "Mr. Sheriff, the cooperation between you and me is about to begin. Do you have anything else to say?"
Of course Charlemagne understood what Shi Zhijian meant, which was to help his coal mining company recruit workers, and immediately smiled and said: "Don't worry, dear Mr. Shi! I promise to help you recruit all the people in place before your company opens! Yes, please
You believe me! Those are all cheap, hard-working labor!"
"Very well, cheers!"
Shi Zhijian also raised his glass to Charlemagne.
"cheers!"
The two clink glasses!
After Shi Zhijian finished drinking, he put down his glass and put the cigar in his mouth. Yan Xiong stepped forward and helped him light the cigar.
Shi Zhijian crossed his legs, chewed his cigar, held up the red wine glass again and said: "Finally, raise the glass again -"
By the time Martins and Charlemagne raised their glasses—
Shi Zhijian said: "I hope we can cook together and fish together!"
…
"Yan Xiong, do you know what you need to do now?"
That night, Shi Zhijian drank too much and returned to his villa drunk.
Ax Jun parked the car below, and Yan Xiong helped Shi Zhijian to the room to rest.
Shi Zhijian staggered a little and was unsteady on his feet.
Yan Xiong supported him and helped Shi Zhijian take off his coat.
Shi Zhijian asked Yan Xiong when he was helping him hang the clothes.
"Of course I know, Mr. Shi! I will do my best!"
"No, you have to go all out!" Shi Zhijian lay down on the sofa and loosened his tie, with a sharp look in his drunken eyes.
"Today alone, we have recruited thousands of people! But how many companies did you acquire? How many are there? There are simply not enough!" Shi Zhijian said in a fierce tone, "You came to the UK with me not just to escape those pursuits, right?
You must have ideals and ambitions! You are Detective Inspector Yan Xiong, not a lost dog!"
Shi Zhijian's words touched the most vulnerable part of Yan Xiong's heart, and his face changed.
In fact, after Yan Xiong came to the UK with Shi Zhijian, he also wanted to make some achievements!
At first, Yan Xiong and Ax Jun only bid for Shi Zhijian's coal mines and natural gas plants that no one cared about at the auction.
However, coal mines and natural gas are not often available at auctions. It depends on luck and timing.
After being in London for so long, Yan Xiong has only bid for three coal mines and two natural gas companies. This is very different from the complete "monopoly" Shi Zhijian demands!
Yan Xiong also knew that what he did was not good enough, so he said: "Don't worry, Mr. Shi, starting from tomorrow I will try my best to complete your plan to monopolize Guilao's resources!"
"Very good!" Shi Zhijian stood up unsteadily, patted Yan Xiong on the shoulder, and said sincerely: "I believe you!"
