"Hahaha! It turns out that your Excellency is the Earl of the British Empire and the president of Shinhwa Food Company. Sorry! Sorry! It seems that I really made a mistake!" Louis the golden retriever said this, but his tone was still full of contempt, "But what should we do?
I heard that you asked Earl Brown to invite us here this time to raise funds? You are asking for help, but you have to bow your head first!"
Borgia and Pinault felt that Louis was going too far.
Sir Brown stood up to smooth things over and said: "Since we all know each other, why not sit down and have a drink first, and we will discuss the details later!"
"Humph! I'll wait!" Louis the Golden Retriever looked unconvinced.
Just now Shi Zhijian humiliated him twice, making it impossible for him to get off stage.
The golden retriever Louis walked back to the dining table. Five beauties with different skin colors surrounded him again and comforted him: "Don't be angry, Honey!"
"Yeah, why bother with him? Come, I'll drink with you!"
A group of golden retrievers sit alone as a group.
Here Brown invited Shi Zhijian and others to come and take a seat.
Sir Brown and Lord Borgia sat together.
Gentleman Pino seemed to be very interested in Shi Zhijian and took the initiative to sit with Shi Zhijian.
As followers, Yan Xiong and Ax Jun were not allowed to sit at the table, so they were invited by the old white housekeeper to rest aside. There were other people there, mostly secretaries, bodyguards and the like.
"Hello Sir Shi, it's an honor to meet you!" As a businessman who specializes in luxury goods, Pino raised his glass of red wine and said to Shi Zhijian, "We are destined to meet each other, let's have a drink first!"
Shi Zhijian smiled and looked at this smooth French guy. If Louis the golden retriever looked like a nouveau riche, then this Pinault in front of him was a businessman.
"Of course, come on, cheers!" Shi Zhijian clinked glasses with Pino.
Pino took a sip, put down the glass, took out a cigar and handed it to Shi Zhijian: "This is my personally customized cigar, do you want to try one?"
"Thank you!" Shi Zhijian did not refuse Pino's overture, but happily accepted it.
Shi Zhijian took the cigar and sniffed it at the wing of his nose, praising: "It's very mellow and fragrant!"
Pino gave a thumbs up and said with a happy smile: "Expert! This is a girl's cigar that I ordered privately ordered in Cuba -" After speaking, he whispered in Shi Zhijian's ear the specific method of making this "girl's cigar".
In his last life, through the Internet, Shi Zhijian knew something about how to make cigars, how girls rub tobacco leaves, how to roll cigarette paper, etc. It was incredible. Now when I heard what Pino said, it was all true. I couldn't help but secretly sigh at the rich people.
Really good at playing.
"Of course, if you like it, Count Shi, I can give you more to smoke someday!" After Pino finished speaking, he felt that Shi Zhijian and he were "kindred spirits" and immediately promised to give him this big gift.
"You're interested, Mr. Pino! How embarrassed are you to do this? If you need any help, just ask!" Shi Zhijian's expression was moved and his tone was sincere.
Pino smiled slightly: "Earl Shi is too outrageous to say this! To be honest, you and I hit it off like old friends! So we want to cooperate with each other in business-"
"Oh, how to cooperate?"
"I heard that Shinhwa Group is huge. In addition to food business, it is also involved in other projects. I wonder if you are interested in representing my luxury brand?" Pino showed a bright smile on his face.
Shi Zhijian held his hand and startled Pino, "Don't say anything! I'll represent your brand! Come on, let's have a drink since we are good brothers!"
Shi Zhijian filled two glasses of wine and handed them to Pino.
Pino: "Huh?"
I was a little dumbfounded, I didn't expect it to be so easy.
He has always had a wish to sell the luxury brands he created to every corner of the world. To this end, he has made a lot of efforts, but even so, in some aspects, he is still no match for old luxury brands such as LV, Chanel and Prada.
.
But Pino was unyielding and believed that as long as he worked hard, he would be able to surpass those brands. For this reason, when he saw Shi Zhijian, he regarded him as the key to the Asian market! What's more, Shi Zhijian himself was an earl of the British Empire, and the British market also
Very OK!
Thinking about Pinault, even if he proposed cooperation, Shi Zhijian would definitely consider cooperation carefully. After all, his brand awareness is still limited to France and other places, but he didn't expect Shi Zhijian to be so awesome and directly agree to cooperate!
"This, this... what should we do?" Pino was so excited that he was speechless.
Shi Zhijian clinked glasses with him and said in a sincere tone: "To be honest, Mr. Pinault, I am very optimistic about you, especially your brand! It contains many artistic elements and commercial elements, which not ordinary people can do! You
He is a well-deserved artist!”
"Uh, artist?" Pino was ecstatically surprised.
Pino has always liked to package himself as an artist, rather than a simple businessman.
It's a pity that his whole body is filled with the aura of money. Even if he designs a luxury brand, in the eyes of outsiders, he is still a philistine businessman!
This made the self-proclaimed "artist" Pino very distressed. He could only rely on painting and listening to music to relieve his emotions occasionally. He didn't expect to receive such praise from Shi Zhijian today. How could he not be ecstatic?
"Yes, you are an artist! In my eyes, anyone who can design such high-end luxury goods is a great person and a great artist!" Shi Zhijian gave a thumbs up to Pino.
Pino wanted to smile modestly, but his mouth split open and he smiled from ear to ear.
"Now, since we are friends, I have a secret to tell you!" Shi Zhijian leaned over, "You should know my relationship with the Queen of the British Empire, right? She loves luxury goods, so I plan to represent you.
After launching the brand, what do you think about letting Her Majesty the Queen endorse it?"
Boom!
Pino's brain exploded!
The Queen’s endorsement?
Endorse my brand?
Is it possible?
It’s as if I heard Pino’s heartbeat——
"Nothing is impossible! Go and find out, Her Majesty the Queen even endorsed electric cars for me!" Shi Zhijian whispered in his ear.
Pino's face immediately showed a bright smile, "Yeah, how could I forget this? I heard that your relationship with Her Majesty the Queen is not an ordinary iron..."
Pino was so excited that he didn't know what to say.
Shi Zhijian looked at the other party's expression and said to himself, "What a tough guy! I fooled him last time to get it done. The worst I can do is to fool him again and again!"
How could Pino know this? His biggest wish in his life is to build a brand. The usual method is to find female celebrities as spokespersons, but if it were the Queen of England -
The effect is unimaginable!
"Earl Shi, oh no, dear Shi!" Pino immediately got closer to Shi Zhijian, "Now I know what a beautiful friend you are!"
Shi Zhijian smiled and patted Pino on the shoulder: "Friends just help each other, are you right?"
"Yes! Of course!" Pino said excitedly, "You help me, I will help you, and we will all get rich together! Hahaha!" He laughed happily.
…
Directly opposite, the golden retriever Louis has been secretly watching Shi Zhijian's activities. When he saw him talking and laughing with Pinault, the Frenchman selling leather bags, he became very angry!
"Hey, now that the wine has been drunk, what do you have to say?" Louis the Golden Retriever shouted at Shi Zhijian, "Don't you want to raise funds? Don't you want us to get money? Speak up and listen!"
Shi Zhijian smiled when he heard this and said to Pino: "We will discuss our cooperation later!" Then he looked at Louis the Golden Retriever.
The golden retriever Louis hugged him from side to side, chewing a cigar, and looked at Shi Zhijian sideways, "What, what do you want me to do? Do you think that just by looking at me, I will obediently pay you? Unless you become a beauty! Hahaha!"
Laugh wildly.
The beauties next to me also laughed.
"Three hundred million!" Shi Zhijian said, "I only need you to come up with three hundred million! I will double it for you in one year!"
A short sentence, sonorous and powerful.
The old man Borgia frowned.
Pino shrugged.
Golden Retriever Louis was startled for a moment and laughed loudly: "Are you kidding me? You want us to give you 300 million and double it every year? Who do you think you are? Why should we believe you?"
"Yes, Mr. Shi Zhijian," the old man Borgia spoke for the first time, looking at Shi Zhijian and said, "We were invited to come, and we understand what you mean, but the question is, what reason do you have for us to believe you?!"
"The reason is very simple, Longteng Fund!" Shi Zhijian said, "I am leading this fund!"
"Uh, Longteng Fund?" Borgia was slightly startled.
Pino was thoughtful after hearing this.
Louis the golden retriever continued to sarcastically say: "What bullshit fund! I have never heard of it! Any fund wants to fool us and think we are all fools?!"
Shi Zhijian calmly said: "Just because you haven't heard of it doesn't mean that others haven't heard of it, don't you think so, Mr. Borgia and Mr. Pinault?"
Borgia pinched his chin: "That's right! I've heard about this fund! It's very powerful in Hong Kong!"
"Not only is it great in Hong Kong, it is also great on the London Stock Exchange!" Pino added, "It is said that it is invincible! It has never lost money since its establishment!"
"Hahaha, I'm laughing so hard! How is that possible? Is there any fund in this world that won't lose money?" Louis the Golden Retriever took a long drag on his cigar and blew out thick smoke, "You two must not be deceived by him! More
Don’t be tempted by his exaggerated profits - doubling in one year? Do you think you are God?!"
Borgia and Pino were already faintly excited, but now they hesitated after hearing what Louis the Golden Retriever said. Yes, doubling in one year is incredible!
"Dear Mr. Shi Zhijian, can you tell us your specific investment plan?" Borgia, the oldest and always cautious in doing things, asked immediately.
Shi Zhijian smiled, "I'm sorry, I can't reveal the specific plan easily! I can only say three points. First, Sir Brown has directly invested 200 million in me, and now I only lack your 300 million! Second, what do you want?
It’s impossible to invest more, I only want 300 million! Third, what I said is true, it will double every year, and I will pay you back 600 million after one year! You can sign an agreement as a legal certificate!”
Shi Zhijian's words made everyone look at each other in shock.
"Sir Brown, have you invested 200 million?" The old man Borgia cast a questioning look.
Brown nodded: "He and I are also friends, we help each other! Besides, I trust him very much. He makes 200 million a year, so I am willing to take a gamble!"
Pino gave a thumbs up and praised: "Sir Brown is really kind and righteous! I admire you very much!"
"Is there any mistake? That's not how you help people. Just giving out 200 million is such a child's play!" Louis the Golden Retriever puffed out the smoke contemptuously.
"You can't say that..." Sir Brown said with a smile, "Dear Shi and I also signed an agreement to pay me back 400 million in one year. There is a legal certificate here!"
"Law? Isn't the law something that we rich people play with?" Golden Retriever Louis said disdainfully, "If I were you, I wouldn't invest so easily! Two hundred million, how much wine do I need to sell to earn? Ten thousand
If you lose money, who can you talk to to reason?!"
Shi Zhijian saw that the golden retriever was always making noises here, and couldn't help but said: "Mr. Louis, do you mean you don't plan to invest?"
"Yes! Why, can you still bite me?" Louis the Golden Retriever put on a very aggressive posture and glared at Shi Zhijian.
Shi Zhijian smiled, "That's great, you can use your 100 million, and others can participate in the investment on his behalf!"
"You're kidding!" Louis the Golden Retriever snorted, "If I don't invest, who of them would dare to invest?"
Seeing the tit-for-tat confrontation between Shi Zhijian and Golden Retriever Louis, Sir Brown had to stand up again and said, "Don't be impulsive, please speak slowly if you have anything to say! In business, harmony makes money!"
After a pause, he said: "In addition, in order to welcome everyone here this time, I specially invited a female star to sing a song live to entertain everyone!"
"What big star? Humph, there's no one I haven't seen!" Louis the golden retriever was very embarrassed and curled his lips and said: "Sir Brown, I'm not telling you, you also know that I have always been well-informed, except for that popular little
Except for the Queen Michelle, there is no female star that can catch my eye now!"
Sir Brown smiled: "I know that Mr. Louis is a super fan of Miss Michelle! So I am very honored to invite her this time -"
"Ah, what?" Louis stood up suddenly, his eyes widened: "What did you say? You invited Michelle? Oh my god, is it true?"
When Miss Michelle debuted, Louis was astonished and was deeply fascinated by Michelle! Then Michelle became famous in one fell swoop, and Louis spent all kinds of means to get close to Michelle, but he couldn't get it!
As for Michelle, Louis has become a worry!
In Louis' heart, Michelle is the goddess he will never get! She is the spiritual totem deep in his heart that cleanses his soul!
He can sing every Michelle song!
He also attends every Michelle concert!
To put it bluntly, Louis the golden retriever is Michelle's biggest fan in the world! And he is a die-hard fan!
At this moment, when he heard that Sir Brown had invited the famous star Michelle, whom he had always missed, Louis the Golden Retriever prayed without losing his composure: "God, let her come out quickly!"
