When Fu Yunzhao appeared outside the office of the president of Shinhwa Group wearing a blue robe and calmly holding his hands behind his back, he happened to see the door of Shi Zhijian's office open, and a slim and beautiful secretary came out, holding documents in her arms.
Fu Yunzhao smiled slightly: "Mr. Fu, Mr. Shi, please come in!"
Fu Yunzhao was slightly surprised. He thought Shi Zhijian would put on airs and let him be rejected. He didn't expect to be so talkative. This was in sharp contrast to the humiliation Yan Xiong had given him that day.
With some doubts in his heart, Fu Yunzhao pushed the door open and entered.
The moment he entered the office, he saw Shi Zhijian sitting behind his desk, tightening the cap of his pen.
Shi Zhijian looked up and saw Fu Yunzhao coming in, so he stood up and said, "Mr. Fu, long time no see!"
Looking at Shi Zhijian with a smile on his face and no pretensions, Fu Yunzhao's mind was a little dazed. Logically speaking, Shi Zhijian should be that kind of arrogant and domineering, with a condescending attitude.
"Yeah, it's been almost three or four years since we last met!" Fu Yunzhao said, but he pretended to sit down on the sofa opposite Shi Zhijian calmly: "I will go back to Macau soon, so I'll see you before I leave.
Would you mind asking for a cup of tea here?" "Of course! I have a lot of good tea here. Mr. Fu is welcome to come and taste it at any time!" Shi Zhijian pressed the internal line and asked the female secretary to serve tea, and then sat back in his seat, holding his hands
He leaned on his desk and looked back at Fu Yunzhao with a smile.
Before the tea was brought in, the two men smiled and looked at each other in silence for more than ten seconds. Although they were both smiling, their smiles were obviously different.
The smile on Shi Zhijian's face was peaceful and calm, while the smile on Fu Yunzhao's face was a bit deliberate and forced.
Finally, Fu Yunzhao couldn't help it anymore and took the lead to break the brief silence. He gave Shi Zhijian a thumbs up: "Mr. Shi is really sharp. I will keep in mind all the words your subordinate Yan Xiong sent me when he left.
"
Shi Zhijian was slightly startled and smiled: "Did Yan Xiong say something that he shouldn't have said? It seems that he angered Fu Shengqian!"
Fu Yunzhao felt that Shi Zhijian was acting and snorted: "You asked him to remind me that this is your Hong Kong and let me go back to Macau. I am thinking about how to go back now--"
"It turns out that Fu Sheng came here today to vent his anger! If I said that I never told Yan Xiong to say those radical words, I'm afraid you wouldn't believe it! Well, since you are here in person, I will say that I don't want
I am an enemy of your Fu family, not because I am afraid of you, nor because I look down on you, but because it is better to resolve enemies than to make enemies. I am a businessman and I want to make money, not fight with others." Shi Zhijian's words were sincere.
said.
In fact, Shi Zhijian really didn't assign Yan Xiong to stimulate Fu Yunzhao. Yan Xiong was just showing off too much and severely stepped on the Fu family in accordance with his temper.
As for Shi Zhijian, he felt that it was pointless to continue fighting with the Fu family.
The Fu family is a declining family, and there is no pleasure in defeating it.
On the contrary, although the Fu family is in decline, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. It may stumble you somewhere. Rather than doing this, it is better to put down your posture and shake hands with them to make peace.
When Fu Yunzhao heard what Shi Zhijian said, he laughed loudly, took out a Marlboro cigarette from his pocket, inserted it into the jade cigarette holder and lit it, and looked at Shi Zhijian with arrogant eyes: "Do you think I believe what you said?
?”
Shi Zhijian spread his hands: "Believe it or not!"
Yes, he has sent a friendly signal. Whether Fu Yunzhao accepts it or not is his own fault.
While he was talking, the charming female secretary knocked on the door and came in with tea. A cup of fragrant tea was placed in front of Fu Yunzhao.
Shi Zhijian did not order tea, but took a cigar and bit it on his mouth, then took out an exquisite American zipp lighter, and skillfully lit it with one hand, burning the cigar he was biting, and finally flicked out the flame with a cool snap.
, looked at Fu Yunzhao with a cigar and said: "As the saying goes, when you come, you are a guest! The tea has been prepared for you. If Mr. Fu thinks we can be friends, please taste it slowly; if you think we can't even be friends,
Do it so casually!”
Fu Yunzhao was moved by Shi Zhijian's last olive branch.
After all, with Shi Zhijian’s current strength, countless people want to cooperate with him and establish friendship. It can be said to be a dream opportunity, but——
Fu Yunzhao always has a thorn in his heart!
"It seems that Mr. Fu is not interested in my tea?" Shi Zhijian asked with a smile between his cigars.
Fu Yunzhao was extremely troubled and was about to answer when he heard a voice coming from outside: "Ajian, I have something to ask you!"
Judging from the roaring sound, there were only two people who dared to barge in so boldly, one was Mr. Xu and the other was Mr. Huo.
Today is Mr. Huo.
When Young Master Huo broke in and took a look, he was stunned: "Do you have guests here?"
Shi Zhijian smiled: "As you can see!"
"Oh, I'm sorry! Do you want me to quit?" After Master Huo finished speaking, he turned to look at Fu Yunzhao.
"No need, Mr. Huo, I'm just about to leave!" Fu Yunzhao also knew the young master of Xiangjiang. He immediately looked at Shi Zhijian and said: "It's not like we have gained nothing from our meeting today - thank you for this cup of tea!"
As he spoke, Fu Yunzhao picked up the teacup and drank it all in one gulp, put down the teacup with a snap, stood up and nodded to Young Master Huo, and then left with his hands behind his back.
Shi Zhijian looked at the empty tea cup, his expression seemed to be smiling but not smiling, and he was thoughtful.
It looks like your cup of tea tastes great!
…
When Huo Da saw Fu Yunzhao going out with his hands behind his back, he couldn't help but said: "Wow, this guy named Fu is so cool. I remember correctly, he is your defeated general!"
Shi Zhijian smiled and pointed to the sofa where Fu Yunzhao had been sitting just now, "Do you want to continue standing and talking to me?"
After hearing this, Mr. Huo walked over and sat down. He also picked up the tea cup that Fu Yunzhao drank from, looked at it, frowned and said: "Are you entertaining guests with tea leaves like this again? I gave you the Longjing tea, why don't you take it?
come out?"
"I've already drank all your tea! Bring some more someday!" Shi Zhijian said, biting his cigar.
"What the hell! That's the treasure my dad hid, and I worked so hard to steal it for you!" Young Master Huo rolled his eyes, "If you ask me to give it to you again, you'll make me a thief again!"
"What's the difference between doing it once and doing it twice?" Shi Zhijian stood up, got a new tea cup himself, and poured another cup of tea for Mr. Huo.
Young Master Huo smoothed his hair with his hand and said with a free and easy expression: "You are right. Since I met you, I have become neither human nor ghost, and I have been a thief countless times!"
Shi Zhijian smiled bitterly and said: "Boss, don't be so mean to me. Seriously, why did you come to my place today? I heard that you have been very busy recently. You don't go to the Three Treasures Hall for anything, but your way of doing things——"
Young Master Huo lowered his head slightly guiltily after hearing this: "I did one thing wrong. A business mistake is a business mistake. I shouldn't be greedy for cheap and rebuild the Kowloon Walled City with you!"
Shi Zhijian frowned: "What do you mean? Is it wrong to mess with me? Do you know how many people are rushing to develop that city with me?"
"I know! It's a pity that I don't have enough funds, and now I'm still short of 30 million - hey, I don't have such a big belly, but I have to eat so much fat!"
"You came to me not because you want me to advance money for you, right?" Shi Zhijian expressed doubts: "Well, although we are good brothers, business is business. If you don't have enough cash flow, you can find a bank for mortgage. I don't do that here.
I can’t help you! How do you say that, brothers, let’s settle the score!”
"Wow, are you too cruel? It's a shame that I am loyal to you and have never changed my original intention!" Young Master Huo breathed out: "My father's calculation is right. I know you won't help me advance money for no reason.
Then we have no choice but to make a deal!" "What deal? Is your Huo Group planning to sell ten ocean-going cargo ships, department stores in Causeway Bay, or real estate on Peak Road?" Shi Zhijian asked Mr. Huo with a smile.
.
Young Master Huo's eyes widened: "No wonder my dad said you were treacherous and told me to be careful about you. It turns out you have already found out our family background!"
Knowing that Mr. Huo was joking, Shi Zhijian continued: "Of course, you and Mr. Xu are two big fat guys. I've always wanted to take a bite! How about it? It's hard to win. It's better to take advantage of outsiders than to take advantage of brothers?!"
"You're a fool, I'd rather die than give in!"
"Would you rather die than give in? Then there is no other way. What do you want my money for in exchange?" Shi Zhijian flicked his cigar: "Thirty million is not a small amount. I can't do it just because you are Mr. Huo."
Open your net too much - it will break if you open it too much!"
"Haha, don't worry, I don't like your broken network!" Mr. Huo smiled and took a sip of tea and said: "Now I am discussing business with you. I heard that you are going to Macau to cut the ribbon recently, and it just so happens that -
For 30 million, I will sell you 20% of our Huo family’s equity in the Macau Entertainment Company!"
"Uh, what?" Shi Zhijian was stunned and immediately thought of something.
In fact, anyone in Macau knows that the "Macau Tourism and Entertainment Company" Mr. Huo calls is actually several large casinos established by the Huo family, the He family, and gambling king Ye Han.
In 1961, Ye Han found Ho Hung-sun, the boss of Ho, to work together to bid for Macau’s gambling license.
Because the opponent was too strong, the Fu Laorong family was deeply rooted in Macau and had great wealth and power. With no choice, Boss He roped in Boss Huo to join forces.
Mr. Huo was already the richest Chinese man in Hong Kong at that time, and his status in the world was also very high. It was with Mr. Huo's joining that Mr. He and Ye Han were able to defeat the Fu Laorong family and successfully obtain the gambling license.
In fact, Boss Huo didn't like the gambling business at first. In order to get Boss Huo to help, Boss He proposed to donate all the profits from the casino to charity, and Boss Huo agreed to help, and this was what the three of them did.
The main reason why people can defeat the Fu Laorong family and successfully win the gambling card.
Unfortunately, Mr. He and Mr. Huo later had differences in this regard, so Mr. Huo and Mr. He stopped paying attention to the Macau gaming business after discussion.
In his last life, in 1977, Mr. Huo donated all his shares in the company to establish the Huo Foundation, half of which was used for development in Macau and half for development in the mainland.
It is now 1976. It has been one year since Mr. Huo donated the equity of the gaming company in the previous life. And because of Shi Zhijian's appearance, Mr. Huo had another idea and decided to sell the 20% equity to Shi Zhijian.
In exchange for 30 million funds for the development of Kowloon Walled City.
In the eyes of outsiders, Mr. Huo’s 20% equity is definitely worth 30 million!
For Mr. Huo, getting rid of these equity interests can also be considered as getting rid of a worry!
Seeing that Shi Zhijian was still in a daze, Mr. Huo smiled proudly: "How about it, do you think the business I proposed is feasible or impossible?"
Shi Zhijian suddenly became interested. He sat up straight and looked at Young Master Huo: "Can you represent the Huo family?"
Young Master Huo felt that he had been underestimated by Shi Zhijian, so he rolled his eyes and said, "What nonsense is this? Don't forget, I am Young Master Huo, the eldest son of Huo in Hong Kong, and the future head of the Huo family!"
Shi Zhijian laughed when he heard this, stretched out his hand and said: "Long live the leader! That's great, 30 million, deal done!"
