Dad Zhu heard what Director Liao said, but there was no answer on the phone. As the saying goes, a clever woman cannot make a meal without rice.
He knew very well that Du Fei had too few resources.
It is very difficult to compete with the Y-capital consortium on your own. In the end, you will probably come back disgraced.
But in Dad Zhu's view, if Du Fei can learn from the experience and gain wisdom, it is not unacceptable to pay a little loss. In the final analysis, the worst result this time is that the contract of Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill to export steel to Xiangjiang is ruined.
If Du Fei is not allowed to go, it won't be much better if someone else does.
Because the above has reached a consensus before that no more resources will be invested in Hong Kong. This is also something that can't be helped
From here we can see how clever Dad Zhu is.
Why did it go so well last time? The most critical move was to bring Lin Tiansheng in. But now, times have changed.
The situation has completely changed. Lin Tiansheng has arrived in the north and has almost drained all the resources that can be allocated. Moreover, the planned plan is the top priority there.
On the Xiangjiang side, it was an unexpected event.
Even Dad Zhu couldn't help Du Fei squeeze out more resources.
I can only say hello to Director Liao, hoping to help Du Fei get the bottom of things at the critical moment. On the other side.
Back to the hotel in Dufy.
Southern cuisine has smaller portions and more variety.
He had only eaten seven percent full just now, and had not drank any alcohol. His mind was very clear. He was thinking about possible situations when meeting Lei Luo tomorrow.
But at this moment, I suddenly felt a chill in my heart.
At the moment just now, he actually felt a very slight vibration coming from the space around him. If Du Fei's senses weren't particularly sensitive, he wouldn't even be able to detect it.
At the next moment, his mind moved and he focused his attention on the source of the vibration. It turned out to be Metta, who was still sleeping.
Du Fei frowned, wondering if Ci Xin was going to wake up?
But upon closer inspection, after being shaken for a moment, Metta had no further reaction.
Du Fei returned to the bedroom, and with a thought, Ci Xin was released from his portable space and placed on the bed. At this time, Ci Xin was wrapped in a set of Du Fei's pajamas and pajamas.
When Ci Xin was originally brought from Wang Changgui, she was seriously injured and was only wrapped in a military coat for the convenience of treatment. When she arrived at Du Fei's place, she found it even more troublesome and put her naked in the portable space.
This set of old pajamas was put on temporarily because she was going to leave her with Wang Yufen. Later, Du Fei came to Xiangjiang for some reason, and that was it.
Ci Xin was lying on the bed, with her eyes closed, breathing steadily, and her face was rosy, as if she was asleep. Du Fei frowned.
Because in the portable space, the trauma of loving kindness was cured, she This is the state. The strange situation just now seemed to have no impact on her.
The joy was all in vain, which made Du Fei feel a little dispirited.
He simply didn't take his compassion back and just let her lie down on the hotel bed.
Du Fei went to turn on the TV and lay on the other side with his hands on the head of the bed the next morning.
Du Fei opened his eyes and took a look at Ci Xin next to him. It was exactly the same as last night, without any change. It was not disappointing at all, he had expected it.
Then he took his compassion back.
When we go out later, there will be a waiter cleaning the room. We can't have such a person on the bed. Yesterday, I asked Lard Boy to make an appointment with Lei Luo, and the time was set in the evening.
During the day, Du Fei was going to meet the staff of the Beijing Foreign Trade Company stationed in Xiangjiang. Although he had already confirmed before coming that the steel was fine.
But we still need to understand what we need to know. I went out and didn’t come back until the afternoon.
As soon as he arrived at the hotel lobby, he saw Lardboy sitting on the tea seat next to him. He looked towards the door from time to time. When he saw Du Fei, he immediately stood up and greeted him, "Du Sheng, you are back~"
Du Fei smiled and said, "Has the place been decided yet?"
Lardboy said, "Brother Luo wants to invite you to my home." Du Fei was slightly different.
Generally speaking, when ordinary people invite guests to their homes, they are too dissatisfied with the people outside.
Restaurants cost money.
But at Lei Luo's level, inviting people to his home has a different meaning. Lei Luo expressed in this way that he hopes his relationship with Du Fei can go further. Du Fei readily agreed.
Asking Lardboy to wait a moment, he went back to the room upstairs to settle down, took a shower, changed clothes, and held a small gift in his hand. It was a Xianfeng Nian snuff bottle he found randomly in his personal space.
The price is neither too high nor too low, so it can be regarded as a souvenir. Follow Lard Boy and take a car to Lei Luo's home. It is said to be a home, but in fact it is a real estate owned by Lei Luo.
It's not a particularly exaggerated mansion, it's a flat floor with a new elevator built two years ago.
The house is located on the top floor, and Lei Luo likes the feeling of "seeing all the mountains at a glance" through the window. Du Fei walked out of the elevator.
There is only one apartment on this floor, and there is an intercom downstairs.
Lei Luo knew that Du Fei and Lard Boy were coming, so he took his wife to greet them at the door.
When he saw Du Fei, he immediately came up to him with a big smile and shook hands warmly, "Comrade Du Fei, come to my humble abode and I will make you shine!" Du Fei also smiled and said, "Superintendent Lei, you are so polite."
Lei Luo quickly modestly called his wife "
Yue Chang, this is Comrade Du Fei. I owe everything to Comrade Du Fei's help for what I am today!" As soon as Du Fei came up, he saw Lei Luo's wife, Bai Yue Chang.
Although time has not spared anyone, it can still be seen that she was a great beauty when she was young.
Wearing a goose-yellow satin short-sleeved cheongsam, even though he is in his forties, he is still in good shape. Du Fei smiled and handed over the souvenir, "Madam, excuse me."
Bai Yuechang responded politely, while her eyes curiously looked at the young man in front of her. After exchanging pleasantries, several people walked into the room.
After saying a few words, Bai Yuechang took the initiative to go to the kitchen.
In fact, there was no need for her to do anything, Lei Luo directly invited the chef to the house. However, there were some things that men were not comfortable saying when a woman was present.
Although Bai Yuechang was born as a eldest lady, she still has traditional ideas.
Du Fei sat on the sofa, looked at Lei Luo's house, and said with a smile, "This house must be more than 200 square meters, right?" Lei Luo was stunned for a moment.
In Xiangjiang, people use square feet when talking about area, and almost ten square feet equal one square meter.
After reacting, he immediately said, "If you like it, how about I give it to you here? You can see Victoria Bay from the window." Du Fei waved his hand, "I can't stay for a few months, why do I need a house~"
Lei Luo said, "I can't help but appreciate the value. It will more than triple in ten years." Du Fei smiled and did not continue.
Then he turned to another topic.
After chatting for a while, the kitchen was ready. Bai Yuechang personally brought the dishes to the table.
There are usually nannies at home, but they have all been sent out today.
Then, three people came out of the kitchen. Looking at their clothes, one chef and two assistant chefs. They bowed slightly to Lei Luo and left.
Since it was a family dinner, there wasn’t much red tape.
After we sat down, we ate and drank, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious.
It wasn't until he finished eating, returned to the living room, and made some tea that Du Fei got down to business. Should it be said or not, Lei Luo really had some interesting things here.
It turns out that as a local local snake in Xiangjiang, his position is actually not embarrassing. At the bottom of the hierarchy, he is already an unattainable local emperor.
But in front of those plutocrats and wealthy people, he was not very able to get on the stage. Until last time.
At the critical moment, I got a gun from Du Fei, and because I participated in Ship King's tunnel project, I was qualified to sit on the top card table in Hong Kong.
Even so, Lei Luo was the last person at this table. But it was enough for him to get some information that most people didn't know.
For example, behind the steel businessman named Juan Carlos, who was the real driving force behind the attack on the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill, were YG's famous Gran Steel Company and YD's Tata Group.< br>
If the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill had not participated, the contract for the undersea tunnel would have been divided between the two families. It would not be surprising to see people making trouble from it now.
At the same time, Du Fei also heard another name from Lei Luo - the Hall family.
It is said that this is a quite ancient YG noble, from the seventeenth century
He was awarded a title during the reign of Charles I in the 19th century and has continued to this day, with a profound foundation.
Du Fei heard this but didn't take it seriously.
What bullshit aristocrats are, they are just a bunch of yg guys just enjoying themselves.
In the twentieth century, various laws targeting the nobility, coupled with two world wars, directly destroyed the vast majority of the nobility.
During the war, many nobles died on the battlefield, and their children had to pay a large sum of money if they wanted to inherit the title and property.
What's even more unfortunate is that some nobles paid money and died in battle just a few days after inheriting the title. If they inherit the title again, they have to pay taxes again.
This caused many nobles to go bankrupt immediately after World War II.
Even those who barely persevered were superficially decent.
He had to choose to marry a capitalist to maintain a poor financial situation. Lei Luo mentioned that the Hall family might be in a better situation.
But Du Fei estimated that there is a high probability that this family is a white glove launched by capitalists. After all, it is only the 1960s, and aristocratic status still has some value.
In addition, Lei Luo also revealed an important situation to Du Fei. The Hong Kong Governor had a serious physical problem.
Last year, the heart surgery was unsuccessful.
Although the condition has eased, the problem has not been completely solved. However, the Tai Chi-lam family does not want to give up their position as Governor of Hong Kong.
I finally managed to persevere last year. If I leave my job due to illness now, it will be like making a wedding dress for others. The Hong Kong governor can only hold on and hide it from their homeland.
In addition, it is Du Fei's old acquaintance - Vincent. Since the last time he "went north alone".
He single-handedly defended Xiangjiang and became YG's hero. Vincent is quite smooth sailing.
Originally, he was an empty-headed aristocrat, relying on his uncle being the governor of Hong Kong to dictate matters in Hong Kong. Now he has become an official stationed in the Colonial Department, officially entering politics.
Regarding Vincent's situation, Du Fei listened very carefully.
In his plan, whether it is success or failure this time, Vincent is the key person. Last time, Vincent benefited, and this time it was his turn to reciprocate.
Finally, Lei Luo and his wife personally sent Du Fei downstairs.
Watching Du Fei get into Lardboy's car and drive away, Lei Luo raised his hand and looked at his watch. It was already nine o'clock in the evening.
