Chapter 1569 1568 [The sky is full of asking prices!]
Chua Lam, the Hong Kong gourmet tycoon in the previous generation, said, "The food in Macau is even better than that in Hong Kong."
This is correct based on data alone. In the "Michelin Guide Hong Kong and Macau", there are 63 restaurants in Hong Kong and 19 restaurants in Macau, and 3 of them are Michelin three stars. However, Macau's area is only about 1/33 of Hong Kong, and its population is Hong Kong's.
About 1/12, based on the density of gourmet restaurants, Macau is even better.
Compared to the crowded and noisy Hong Kong, Shi Zhijian actually prefers the leisurely and lazy Macau.
Today, Shi Zhijian was warmly entertained by Macau tycoon Stanley Ho and tasted delicious food in the tenement tower of a century-old Macau restaurant.
This tenement building stands on the edge of the Haojiang River. Shi Zhijian sat in the elegant seat by the window, admiring the waves outside the window.
He Daheng looked at Shi Zhijian quietly, smiling and saying nothing.
Not far away, He Daheng's subordinate Zhou Jinhui and a group of people were always paying attention to He Daheng's every move. They only needed a subtle movement or look from the boss to react quickly.
In contrast, Chen Tai and Dasha, who are Shi Zhijian's subordinates, are guarding the door vigilantly. For them, Macau is not Shi Zhijian's territory, and any crisis may occur.
Shi Zhijian looked out the window for five or six minutes before he looked back and smiled at Daheng He: "Uncle, I didn't expect that Macau would have such beautiful and exquisite restaurants, as well as such high-end restaurants."
Shi Zhijian smiled self-deprecatingly and handed the menu back to He Daheng, "Please He Sheng, please help me order a few, so as not to make me look bad!"
Shi Zhijian hurriedly interrupted: "He Sheng said that to be polite. It's very nice of you to invite me to dinner today!"
Before Shi Zhijian could finish his words, He Daheng said hurriedly: "I'm sorry, A Jian, I think we need to consider this in the long run!"
Shi Zhijian nodded, took out a box of Sanwu cigarettes from his pocket, lit it with a match, took a deep breath, and then said: "I really want to sell these shares to you, Uncle He, but - I feel
We still need to think about it in the long term!”
He Daheng’s blood pressure soared!
He never expected that Shi Zhijian would be so cruel, doubling his weight in one breath!
Buy it for 30 million, sell it for 60 million!
Thinking about money is crazy!
Zhou Jinhui, a close associate standing behind Daheng He, was also shocked by Shi Zhijian's "lion's big mouth".
He Daheng opened the menu on the table and handed it to Shi Zhijian enthusiastically: "You know, not only is the environment here elegant, but the food is also first-class. The first chef was the imperial chef, and later he accepted an apprentice and took root here, but that
The craftsmanship has been passed down, and it is still at the level of an imperial chef - Ajian, you are welcome, I will be the host today, you can order a few things to try!"
Seeing Shi Zhijian's appearance, He Daheng wanted to rush up to him and reward him with his mouth!
"What I mean is that you can make whatever price you want. If I can sustain it, I will definitely do you a favor and acquire your equity!" He Daheng smiled and picked up the tea cup and handed it to Shi Zhijian, "Of course, A Jian, you have to be considerate.
Uncle, I am old and have high blood pressure. If your asking price makes my blood pressure soar, that will not be good!"
"Ahem, no, not high!" He Daheng held up the teacup and took a sip in a disguised manner.
"He Sheng, you treat me too much. I'm really -" Shi Zhijian said in a grateful tone, "I'm sorry, do you mind if I smoke a cigarette? I want to think about it carefully!"
A servant took two steps forward and said, "He Sheng, what are your orders--"
"Ask the chef of the restaurant to prepare some signature dishes! Tell him that today I am entertaining important guests from Hong Kong. The dishes must be exquisite no matter what. Don't embarrass me!" He Daheng said.
"Yes, He Sheng."
"Ajian, you are worrying too much!" He Daheng picked up the teapot and poured water for Shi Zhijian himself. "As your uncle, I have to criticize you! You also said that we are all businessmen, so business is business, and human relations are
It’s just a favor, I never thought of asking you to sell me those shares at a low price for a favor!”
He Daheng was not polite, bang bang! He clapped his hands twice and called his subordinates to come over.
Shi Zhijian waved his hand: "That's wrong. To be honest, this time I came to Macau to inspect the gaming industry, it was just to catch a duck -" "Oh, how can I say this?" He Daheng was not shocked by Shi Zhijian's words, but his face
Smiling unabated, he looked at the other person and said.
"I mean, I don't know anything about the gaming industry. These equity interests are useless in my hands. Either I learn to invest in the gaming industry with He Sheng, or I sell these equity interests to make some pocket money——"
"Fortunately, I was afraid that the price would be too high and I would scare you, uncle!" Shi Zhijian said with a kind face.
Shi Zhijian burst out laughing when he heard this, "I really learned a lesson!" He said and clasped his fists at He Daheng.
"Uncle, what do you mean-"
"This Shi Zhijian is really hateful. What does he think of He Sheng? A water fish, or a Kaizi?"
"Uncle, do you think my asking price is not high?"
"I have heard about this, Ajian, what do you mean-" He Daheng tried.
"It's like this. I spent 30 million to buy those shares from Uncle Huo. If I sell them to you, Uncle He, if it's still 30 million, there will inevitably be some... ahem, you and I are both businessmen, you know!
On the contrary, if I, the lion, open my mouth and ask you for a high price, wouldn't it hurt the harmony between us? So after thinking about it, I feel that it is better to be more conservative and wait a little longer!" Shi Zhijian paused when he said this and bounced.
Swirling the cigarette ashes: "Uncle He, this is why I want to take a long-term approach. Don't laugh at me."
Zhou Jinhui cursed secretly at Shi Zhijian.
"Uncle, you mean my equity is not worth 60 million?" Shi Zhijian raised doubts.
"This-" He Daheng didn't know how to answer.
Shi Zhijian laughed out loud: "Uncle, I heard what you said, so -
Going to bid!
"Huh? Is He Sheng interested in my equity?" Shi Zhijian said in surprise.
"It's just a meal, what's the big deal!" He Daheng said proudly, "As your uncle, I have to do something more useful! Think about it, A Jian, since you think that stock is like a hot potato,
It’s also a bit useless, why not sell it to me?”
So damn good at pretending!
Better than me!
"Uncle, do you think this price is appropriate? If so-"
"Hey, uncle, you also want to take a long-term approach? Didn't you say you would go all out to help me?" Shi Zhijian looked at He Daheng with a serious look on his face.
He endured it!
"Here's the thing, 60 million is not a small amount. Although I can get this money, I must also consider the actual situation!"
He Daheng nodded: "I wasn't interested at first, but who made me your uncle? It's my duty as an uncle to help you solve your worries and doubts! A Jian, you must not thank me.
, let alone any psychological burden or baggage, okay?"
He Daheng once again had the urge to rush up and attack Shi Zhijian.
He Daheng laughed: "In fact, I have told them many times not to make their menu mysterious, but the restaurant owner just refused to listen. Instead, he said that his restaurant mainly entertains regular customers, and the regular customers know the details of every dish——
Like this row of egrets ascending the blue sky, they are actually cucumbers with garlic paste, which is just a test of carving skills. And the flowers are not flowers, and the mist is not mist, but they are actually steamed bamboo shoots, and the mist is hazy when you open the lid. The golden lace clothes at the end are actually carving bananas.
, the banana wrapped in honey seems to be wearing a golden robe..."
"Oh, Ajian, are you also interested in the Macau gaming industry?" He Daheng's eyes shot out with a gleam of light.
"Of course!" He Daheng looked at Shi Zhijian, "You help me, I'll help you! Think clearly, we are all our own people, aren't we?"
Seeing He Daheng's enthusiasm, Shi Zhijian stopped being polite and took the menu and flipped through it: "Sure enough, the name of this dish is all from Tang poetry and Song Dynasty, a row of egrets ascending to the blue sky, the flowers are not flowers, the mist is not mist, and
This Jin Xiyi...it's making things difficult for me when I order food. I don't even know what the hell it is?"
He Daheng looked at Shi Zhijian's sincere look. If he hadn't known that Shi Zhijian's nicknames were "Treacherous God" and "Treacherous Man Jian", he would have almost thought that Shi Zhijian was showing his true feelings.
To be honest, 60 million has exceeded He Daheng's bottom line, and it has exceeded it by a lot!
His conservative price is 33 million.
He Daheng smiled, tapped his fingers on the table and looked at Shi Zhijian with burning eyes: "To be honest, A Jian, you and I have an extraordinary relationship! You and Mr. Huo are as close as brothers, and I am Mr. Huo's uncle, so after all, I
That is your uncle! Now that you have come to Macau, I, the uncle, have been thinking about what I can do for you, and I am very distressed about this——"
Shi Zhijian's face was indifferent: "He Sheng, you should know very well. Not long ago, I spent 30 million from Uncle Huo to acquire 20% of his shares. These shares happen to belong to the Macau Tourism and Entertainment Company -"
He Daheng hurriedly looked at Shi Zhijian, and Shi Zhijian put out his cigarette: "So I didn't want to ask for more, 60 million, can you get it?"
After the servants left, He Daheng looked at Shi Zhijian again: "Ajian, I saw that you were distracted by the sea view just now. Do you have something on your mind? If you have something on your mind, tell me about it. Maybe I can help you.
you--"
"Why do we need to take a long-term view? I am very confused about this. Please explain it to me, Ajian." He Daheng remained calm. Although he was eager to grab the equity from Shi Zhijian, he also knew that he could not eat hot tofu in a hurry.
, especially Shi Zhijian, who is known as the "treacherous god" in Hong Kong, is not as pure as he is in front of him.
Shi Zhijian smiled, lowered his head and turned the wedding ring on his hand, then raised his head and said to He Daheng: "He Sheng, you should also know that I came to Macau this time to cut the ribbon for my wife's new company.
, and secondly, let’s take a look at Macau’s gaming business.”
Shi Zhijian bought it for 30 million, and he bought it for 33 million.
The extra three million is equivalent to giving pocket money to Shi Zhijian, the cheap nephew!
Just then——
Boom, boom, boom!
There was a knock on the door, but the food was ready and the waiter brought it over.
He Daheng took the opportunity and said: "Ajian, when the food is served, let's eat first! We'll talk about the rest later!"
Shi Zhijian smiled, showing a harmless look: "That's fine!"
