"Okay, what do you want to see me for today? Tell me!" Xu Sanshao asked.
"I want to cooperate with Xu Shipping!" Shi Zhijian said.
"Cooperation? The shipping business is not under my control, but my elder brother! You also know that he and I don't have a good relationship!" Xu Sanshao took a sip of tea and smacked his lips, "He always thought that I was uneducated and incompetent.
After his death, he took charge of Xu's Construction and took advantage of it! Now when we have family dinners, he doesn't even look at me seriously!"
Shi Zhijian smiled: "It's better to have brothers than no brothers! After all, you are connected by blood, broken bones are connected with tendons! Even if you really don't like each other, it's just superficial. If something happens to the other party, you will be the first to help.
——When you go into battle, you have to teach your father and his sons, and when you fight a tiger, you have to be brothers!"
This sentence seemed to speak to Xu Sanshao's heart, and he let out a heavy breath: "You are right! The last time something happened to the construction company, someone fell from the tower crane at the construction site and was injured and was sued to the union. This incident made me very anxious.
In the end, I got through it smoothly. I thought I was lucky at first, but I found out not long ago that he was helping me behind the scenes!"
Xu Sanshao smiled bitterly, "The problem is that when I asked him face to face, he still refused to admit it. He would rather let me regard him as an enemy than shake hands with me and make peace!"
"Then take the initiative! Take advantage of this opportunity!" Shi Zhijian looked at Xu Sanshao with a smile and said, "Besides, how can brothers have an overnight feud? Unless you can't lose face!"
"Is it really okay? What if he doesn't accept it? Will I be embarrassed?" Xu Sanshao leaned lazily on the sofa: "No matter what, he ignores me and I don't ignore him, so everyone just
If we're in such a stalemate, let's see whoever surrenders first!"
"You act as the middleman and let me cooperate with him. This time he will definitely surrender to you!" Shi Zhi firmly believed.
Xu Sanshao was stunned for a moment: "Why?"
"Because this time I can help him make a lot of money!"
"A lot of money? How much? Five hundred thousand, or one million? He has a very high vision, and he can't look down on small money. I don't want to be teased by him for any excuse!" Xu Sanshao lazily picked up the tea and took a sip.
.
"Not much..." Shi Zhijian stared at Xu Sanshao and said slowly, "About ten million!"
"Pfft!" Xu Sanshao spit out a sip of tea and looked at Shi Zhijian with wide eyes. After being stunned, he took a deep breath of cold air: "Did I hear correctly? Ten million?"
Shi Zhijian nodded: "Ten million is just my expected goal. If the operation goes well... it can reach hundreds of millions!"
Xu Sanshao became excited and his eyes widened: "Ajian, aren't you trying to trick me? Are you going to take advantage of my elder brother for such a good thing?"
"What do you want me to do? We are good brothers and we understand each other tacitly!" Shi Zhijian smiled, "Besides, although your eldest brother is in charge of Xu's Shipping, you have a share in that company after all, so I'm helping you by helping him.
!As you know, if you have money, everyone can make it together and make the same profit. This is my principle of doing things!"
After Xu Sanshao looked at Shi Zhijian in silence for more than ten seconds, he raised the tea cup and touched it lightly in front of Shi Zhijian, and then drank the tea in the cup: "When do you want me to help you build a bridge?"
"Building a bridge is out of the question, and we have known each other for a long time - just ask him and I will treat him to a meal!" Shi Zhijian picked up the tea cup and drank up the remaining tea in the cup, "As for whether he will come or not, that depends.
We are destined!"
Xu Sanshao stood up, put his hands on his hips, and said domineeringly: "This fate is worth 100 million, if he dares not to come, don't say I won't agree, even if I die, I won't agree!"
…
"Crack!"
Xu Shiwen, the eldest son of the Xu family of the Xu Shipping Company, hung up the phone, then clasped his hands behind his back and frowned.
As his wife's uncle, Zeng Wenju stood aside, twirling his beard and saying, "The Third Young Master asked you to have dinner with that Shi Zhijian, there must be some fraud! Young Master, you have to be careful?!"
Next to him, Xu Shiwen's personal secretary Wei Charlie glanced at Zeng Wenju with contempt, and pushed the gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose with his fingers: "Young Master, since the Third Young Master said that the person named Shi wants to do business with you, I suggest you might as well.
Go over and take a look first!”
"What if it's a conspiracy?" Zeng Wenju was unhappy with this fake foreign devil trying to undermine him.
In the shipping company, Zeng Wenju and Wei Charlie were sworn enemies.
Zeng Wenju came from a private school, was good at planning, and had an old-fashioned style. He relied on his status as the wife-uncle of the eldest son Xu to show off his power in the company.
In Zeng Wenju's view, he was the kind of "national uncle" sung in ancient operas, a relative of the emperor and the country.
Charlie Wei is an elite who returned from studying in London, England. He is not only Xu Shiwen's personal secretary, but also his personal lawyer. Xu Shiwen likes to seek his advice on all matters.
From Charlie Wei's point of view, he was Xu Shiwen's right-hand man and held a high position of authority. Usually, few people could be taken seriously by him.
"Now, eldest young master, don't say that I didn't remind you that your third brother is very close to that Shi Zhijian. Shi Zhijian is extremely cunning. Even big bosses like Li Zhaotian suffered losses under his hands. Now he is squatting.
Eat royal meals in prison! What if he plays some trick and joins forces with the third young master to set a trap for you? If you don’t pay attention then, wow! Fall in! It will be miserable!"
Charlie Wei sneered: "Manager Zeng, you are wrong to say that! Why do you say that the third young master and the eldest young master are also brothers, and the one named Shi is an outsider? How can any brother join forces with an outsider to frame the boss?"
Zeng Wenju said angrily: "I was wrong about your mother! How much ink did you eat outside? How do you know the traditions here? Do you know what is called the 'Xuanwu Gate Incident'? Do you know what it is called the 'Chenqiao Mutiny, Yellow Robes Added to the Body'? Hong Kong
It’s so dangerous, you’d better go back to London and eat your hot dogs!”
"Hey, I'm trying to reason with you, but you don't want to attack me personally!"
"What's wrong with attacking you? Bite me!"
"Okay! Don't say a word to each of you!" Xu Shiwen pinched his eyebrows with his hands and sat on the chair. He picked up a Sanwu cigarette and bit it on his mouth. He lit the cigarette and said, "Then Shi Zhijian also has it now."
If you are a person of status and status, if you want me to do business, then go and have a look! No matter how unhappy the third child is with me, he will not plot against me!"
Zeng Wenju rolled his eyes. What he was best at was sowing discord. Only in this way could he benefit from it.
However, with the death of Mr. Xu and the separation of the three Xu brothers, the relationship between the brothers rose instead of falling. This made Zeng Wenju, Xu's uncle-in-law, very puzzled. Does the fact that distance brings beauty also apply to brotherly love? I
Beat your lungs!
…
At seven o'clock in the evening.
Nathan Road, Champs Restaurant VIP Room.
Hu Juncai is very excited!
He never expected that Shi Zhijian would bring him with him in this negotiation.
Hu Juncai held his black briefcase, pulled his cute little bow tie with his hand, wiped his waxed middle-parted hair back with his hand, and then looked at his old rival Liang Youcai, who was standing next to him with his nostrils turned upward.
Liang Youcai was also called over by Shi Zhijian tonight to help. He also carried a black briefcase exactly like Hu Juncai's. He was also wearing a suit, but instead of a bow tie, he wore a gold tie, which looked very eye-catching.
Liang Youcai had a bulging stomach, and he couldn't figure it out. Logically speaking, Hu Juncai was a street fish. He had betrayed Mr. Shi before. Mr. Shi was showing mercy by not stepping on him in the mud. Why is he using him again now?
Liang Youcai soon remembered that Hu Juncai seemed to have been very close to Mr. Shi's elder sister Shi Yufeng recently. They were engaged in a vegetable transportation business and sold vegetables from the New Territories to the British soldiers to make money from them. Could it be that Shi Yufeng was the one who blew the whistle?
What's the wind?
Just when Liang Youcai was thinking wildly, Hu Juncai touched him with his arm, bared his big teeth and said, "Hey, Ah Cai, can we make peace with you?"
Liang Youcai glared at him: "Why do you want to make peace with me? Didn't you like to go against me in the past?"
"That was before! It's better to dissolve enemies than to end them! What's more, you and I are helping Mr. Shi with things now. From now on, we'll never see each other again, with big eyes and small eyes. You hate me and I hate you. It's very embarrassing!"
Liang Youcai touched his chin and raised his nostrils: "I don't think so. You are embarrassed, but I am not!"
"That's because you are stingy, you are still thinking about the past!" Hu Juncai said unhappily, "After experiencing so many things, I now understand that happiness is the most important thing in life! Don't always think about the bad in everything,
There are not all bad people in the world, so look forward to everything!"
Liang Youcai snorted and softened a little.
Hu Juncai touched him with his shoulder again: "At worst, I'll be the host of the rich man tonight! Remy Martin, Miss Dance, it's your choice! Do you like it?"
"Am I that kind of person?" Liang Youcai spoke righteously, "But... that A-ling on No. 38 seems pretty good!"
"Wow, you know A Ling too?"
"Of course, the top one!"
“I didn’t expect that you and I are still ‘comrades’!”
"You also know A Ling?"
"We have been friends for a long time!"
"Then aren't we... brothers?"
"We are all brothers, no distinction is made between us!"
Just when the enemies Hu Juncai and Liang Youcai began to "call themselves brothers," the door to the VIP hall opened, and Shi Zhijian and Xu Sanshao came in from the outside with a smile.
Xu Sanshao glanced at Hu Juncai and Liang Youcai, turned around and said to Shi Zhijian with a smile: "It seems that Ajian, you are so sincere tonight, you even brought the famous 'legal duo' around you!"
When Hu Juncai and Liang Youcai heard Xu Sanshao's words, one of them stroked their heads arrogantly, the other raised their stomachs high, with a lively expression on their faces.
"They are all my legal advisers. We are talking about the door business tonight, so of course we have to pay attention!" Shi Zhijian invited Xu Sanshao to sit down.
Xu Sanshao, however, buried his head in looking at his watch, then looked at the door and said, "Why hasn't my eldest brother come yet? Could it be that he doesn't want to give me face and is letting us off the hook?"
But Shi Zhijian calmly sat down and said: "You don't want to make money in the money-seeking business? If you let such a pigeon fly, you are a fool!"
Before Xu Sanshao could speak, someone outside applauded: "Well said! Why don't we do money-making business? Besides, this time it is my third brother who introduces me? I, Xu Shiwen, must attend on time!"
While he was talking, he saw Xu Shiwen, wearing a suit and shiny leather shoes, walking in from the outside with his wife's uncle Zeng Wenju and his secretary Wei Charlie.
Wearing a trench coat, he looked like a tycoon in a movie. When he walked into the room, he shook his shoulders and shook off the trench coat.
Zeng Wen, with quick eyes and quick hands, took the windbreaker first.
Charlie Wei cursed secretly when he saw this: "Flattery!"
"Brother, you are here!" Xu Sanshao greeted Xu Shiwen.
Xu Shiwen smiled: "I heard that your wife Axin has come back from England. When will you take her home for dinner? Your sister-in-law misses her so much! By the way, there is also Heng'er. You can take him with you too.
The guy once called me and asked me to help him make up for his birthday gift last year. Now that he is finally back, I want to fulfill my promise!"
Xu Shiwen's few words made Xu Sanshao feel warm in his heart. When Mrs. Xu was still alive, the two brothers were at odds with each other and disliked each other.
Xu Shiwen felt that Xu Sanshao was ignorant and only knew how to eat, drink and have fun.
Xu Sanshao felt that this elder brother was stubborn and old-fashioned, and he was too selfish in doing things!
Now that the old man has passed away, the brothers have divided their families and have their own lives, and now things are getting warmer.
"Okay, big brother, I'll go back and tell Ah Xin to find time to go there in the next few days!"
"A man must keep his word! Don't expect me to make a deal with your sister-in-law, but you let me go!" Xu Shiwen joked, then looked at Shi Zhijian and stretched out his hand: "Ajian, long time no see!"
The word "Ajian" directly brought him and Shi Zhijian closer.
Shi Zhijian shook hands with Xu Shiwen and said: "Brother Wen, I didn't expect you to really come! Please sit down first!" After that, he invited Xu Shiwen to sit down next to him.
"You are now a well-known fortune boy, a lucky star in Hong Kong. I will follow you to get some glory! What business introduction do you have this time?" Xu Shiwen sat down and said straight to the point with a smile on his face.
Shi Zhijian asked someone to bring coffee and handed it to Xu Shiwen, "Brother Wen, I have a business that I am planning and may need your ships. Please help me when the time comes!"
"Use a boat? That's easy!" Xu Shiwen seemed to be interested in repairing the relationship with Shi Zhijian. He stirred the coffee in the cup with a spoon and looked at Shi Zhijian: "You and my third brother are good friends, and we are not outsiders after all. No matter how much you use,
Open your mouth!"
Shi Zhijian smiled: "But I don't know how many ships Brother Wen has?"
"My third brother never told you? One hundred and thirty ships!"
Shi Zhijian was slightly surprised, thinking that they were indeed a long-established shipping king family in Hong Kong, and the number of ships alone should not be underestimated.
In fact, when the Xu family was truly glorious, there were more than 200 ships, one-third more than now!
"Then please borrow it!" Shi Zhijian said.
"You haven't told me yet, how much do you want to borrow?" Xu Shiwen took a sip of coffee and then looked at Shi Zhijian.
Shi Zhijian smiled slightly: "All of them!"
"Pfft!" Xu Shiwen almost spit out the coffee, "Sorry, did I hear correctly? All of them?"
Not to mention Xu Shiwen, even Xu Sanshao, Zeng Wenju, Wei Charlie and others standing beside them were also shocked, looking at Shi Zhijian in disbelief.
Under everyone's glare, Shi Zhijian slowly took a sip of coffee and said, "You heard me right, I'm telling the truth! One hundred and thirty ships, all of them!"
