Shi Zhijian felt his throat was burning. He reached out and pinched a salt-baked cashew nut on the plate, threw it into his mouth and chewed it. Then he said to Li Zhaotian, "Mr. Li, don't you ask me what I am doing here today?"
Li Zhaotian was leaning on the sofa, holding a wine glass and raising his chin proudly, "Although I don't know, I can guess a thing or two."
"Oh, please help me!" Shi Zhijian looked at Li Zhaotian with squinted eyes.
Li Zhaotian motioned to Wen Zedun next to him, and Wen Zedun drove away the waiters in the private room, leaving only two little sisters with Li Zhaotian.
Li Zhaotian took a sip of wine, put down the glass, spread his arms around the two girls, and stared at Shi Zhijian unscrupulously: "You came to beg me, right?"
Shi Zhijian prepared his expression and smiled bitterly, "Mr. Li, you guessed it right. I do have something to ask of you!"
"That's right!" Li Zhaotian gestured. The pretty girl on the left took out a big cigar and stuffed it into Li Zhaotian's mouth. The pretty girl on the right took out an exquisite ZIPPO lighter and skillfully helped Li Zhaotian light it.
After lighting the cigar, I flicked it and closed it with a snap, making a clear and crisp sound.
Li Zhaotian chewed his cigar and puffed out smoke: "Now that your Shek Kip Mei project has been stopped, I heard that you are losing a lot of money every day!"
"Those workers always need to eat, and I need to pay them wages." Shi Zhijian smiled bitterly again.
Li Zhaotian pinched Shi Zhijian's nose: "Be kind! You are a kind young man! Even now, you are still thinking about paying wages to those poor people. I admire you!"
While he was talking about admiration, Li Zhaotian's eyes were full of teasing and arrogance.
"In this matter, Boss Li did something wrong indeed, but you are also stubborn! Who is Boss Li? He is so rich and powerful, how can you fight with him?"
"I approached him once and made a suggestion to him, but he rejected it."
"If it were me, I would reject you too!" Li Zhaotian stared at Shi Zhijian and said, "Everyone needs face! You used to deny him face so much. No matter how magnanimous he is, he still has a lot of anger in his belly! Doing business?
Pay attention to being harmonious and making money. If you are angry, you will not be able to make money. On the contrary, it will bring disaster!"
"I've learned a lesson, Mr. Li!" Shi Zhijian looked submissive, "I used to be a little arrogant, but now I have learned a lot."
"That's right! When I invited you to join our Food Association, you still resisted. Otherwise, we are a family now, and of course we will help you as a family! But now——" Li Zhaotian spread his hands,
"The relationship between you and me is not that strong, so there is nothing I can do about it!"
Shi Zhijian pinched his nose, looking a little sad.
Next to him, Wen Zeton tried to smooth things over and said, "Mr. Li, I think this Mr. Shi is here to beg you sincerely. Why don't you listen to what he has to say."
"I'm listening, I'm all ears! Shi Zhijian, uh, I'll call you A Jian. A Jian, what do you want to tell me?"
Shi Zhijian did not answer, but picked up Chivas Regal and poured himself another glass, drank it all in one gulp, wiped his mouth with the back of his hand, exhaled a breath of alcohol, then looked up at Li Zhaotian and said: "Give me a chance!
I plan to turn the Shek Kip Mei factory into a waterworks!"
"Well?"
As soon as Shi Zhijian said these words, not only Li Zhao was stunned, but even Wen Zedun couldn't help being a little shocked.
"Mr. Li, I know that you cooperated with the British to run an electric power company. You originally wanted to do the water supply company, but those ghosts were afraid that you would control all water and electricity. When the time comes, your power would be too great to control, so they turned the water supply company into a water company."
Set it aside and let your introducer take over, and the person you introduce is Boss Li Jiacheng."
Li Zhaotian narrowed his eyes and slowly blew out a puff of smoke towards Shi Zhijian, indicating for him to continue speaking.
"Since you can introduce Li Jiacheng to do the tap water business, so can I! Think about it!" After Shi Zhijian finished speaking, he looked at Li Zhaotian with extremely hopeful eyes, as if Li Zhaotian was his last life-saving straw at this moment.
Li Zhaotian bit his big cigar and looked deeply into Shi Zhijian's eyes, as if he wanted to see through him. After a moment, he uttered: "What qualifications do you have?!"
…
Yes, in Li Zhaotian's eyes, Shi Zhijian was indeed not qualified to cooperate with him.
Who is Li Zhaotian?
The head of the Lee Group in Hong Kong controls hundreds of millions of assets of the Lee family.
Those who can do business with Lijia must have assets of at least hundreds of millions, and Shi Zhijian is just a small boss with assets of just over 10 million. In Li Zhaotian's view, not only is he not qualified to do business with him, he is not even qualified to intervene in the large-scale Hong Kong
Hydropower industry.
Even Li Jiacheng is a carefully selected partner of Lee Zhaotian.
According to Li Zhaotian's calculation, when the time comes, the Li family will control the power transmission in Hong Kong, and Li Ka-shing will control the tap water supply in Hong Kong, which is equivalent to controlling the water and electricity in the entire Hong Kong. At that time, they will not have the final say in water and electricity bills?
The best way to make money is to monopolize!
…
"What qualifications do I have?"
Shi Zhijian smiled bitterly, "I am indeed not qualified to keep pace with you, Mr. Li. It seems that I have come to the wrong place!"
After saying that, Shi Zhijian poured himself another glass of wine and took a big sip from it. He looked like he was recovering from his hangover and relieving his worries. He was extremely depressed, completely different from the high-spirited young man before.
"Mr. Shi, drink slowly. There are a lot of drinks here. Let me treat you!" Li Zhaotian was very satisfied with the feeling of crushing Shi Zhijian under his feet.
Seeing such a lost Shi Zhijian, Wen Zedun also felt physically and mentally happy, and felt extremely comfortable in his heart, because it was this young man who caused his nightclub business to plummet, and it was so cool to have this retribution today!
"No, I'd better go inside!" Shi Zhijian stood up, took the clothes hanging on the hangers with staggering steps, put them on, and then turned back to Li Zhaotian and said: "Thank you Mr. Li for your hospitality! Since I have no way out,
Then I will stick to the Shek Kip Mei factory to the end! I would rather be broken into pieces than destroyed!"
Li Zhaotian's eyelids twitched, and he pointed at the door with his cigar between his fingers: "Go slowly, I won't send you away!"
Shi Zhijian staggered out.
The private room became quiet again.
…
A moment----
Boom, boom, boom!
Someone knocked on the door.
Squeak, Li Jiacheng opened the door, walked in with a wine glass in hand, smiled and sat down where Shi Zhijian was sitting, and said to Li Zhaotian: "Mr. Li, do you think he is acting, or is he really desperate?"
"Acting? Do you think he is an Oscar-winning actor?" Li Zhaotian looked disdainful, "This guy said he wants to be broken into pieces rather than destroyed. Think about it yourself!"
After a pause, he added: "The tap water business can't be delayed any longer. Those ghost guys above have already expressed their opinions. You must capture Shek Kip Mei as soon as possible!"
Li Jiacheng sipped his wine and touched his chin: "Then change the land! I asked Smith whether the development of Tsuen Wan will have to wait until the end of the year of the monkey. Since you can't wait any longer, I had no choice but to bite the bullet and agreed to him!"
Li Zhaotian picked up his wine glass: "This is the Boss Li I know. He does things neatly and neatly, and never procrastinates!"
Li Jiacheng clinked glasses with Li Zhaotian.
In fact, the main reason why Li Jiacheng made such a decision was that the water plant's profits were too large, and the profits were visible.
After exchanging Shek Kip Mei with Shi Zhijian, he can immediately start the water supply project. By then, the water supply for the whole Hong Kong will not be profitable?
As for Tsuen Wan, he has been enclosing land for ten years and has survived for ten years, but there is not even the slightest movement.
Although he, Li Jiacheng, has a keen eye and is very optimistic about the future development potential of that land, being optimistic does not mean that he will make money. The money he puts in his pocket is his own money, and what he cannot see is never his.
So Li Jiacheng decided to change places with Shi Zhijian!
…
Stumbling on his feet, Shi Zhijian, who was drunk, walked out of Lichi Nightclub, waved to the camel guy who was waiting for him, and called a rickshaw for me.
Brother Luotuo helped call a taxi. Shi Zhijian got in the car and took out a hundred-dollar bill and threw it to Brother Luotuo as a tip.
Brother Luotuo was overjoyed and hurriedly took over and nodded to Shi Zhijian who was leaving in a rickshaw, "Thank you, Mr. Shi! Thank you, Mr. Shi!"
Brother Luotuo looked at Shi Zhijian walking away. He turned around and was about to stuff a hundred yuan into his pocket, but he almost turned around and bumped into someone. He was about to curse, but when he looked up, he saw that it was his boss, the ghost guy Wen Zedun.
, Brother Luotuo immediately said: "I'm sorry, boss, did I bump into you?"
Wen Zeton didn't even look at him, but just asked: "Is that man named Shi drunk?"
"Not only was he drunk, he couldn't even walk! I helped him get into the rickshaw. By the way, he also gave me a tip of 100 yuan. If he hadn't been drunk, how could he have given me so much money!"
Wen Zeton nodded and said no more.
In the rickshaw, Shi Zhijian, who looked drunk, opened his eyes, but saw that there was no trace of drunkenness in his eyes. He took out a cigarette from his arms and bit it in his mouth. He lit it with his hands in the night wind, squinted his eyes, raised his head and blew out a puff of smoke: "
