Chapter 147: Friendship over a bowl of spicy hot pot
"This is life!"
Standing in front of the huge French window, overlooking the beautiful night view of Yanjing, Li Zehua sighed with emotion, "The air is filled with the smell of money!"
In his previous life, he was heavily in debt and lived in Pengcheng Seaside Park, with no clothes to wear and no food to eat. He never thought that this day would come.
The most I can do is fantasize about paying off my debts one day and starting a business again.
His life is destined to be spectacular.
Of course it’s not bad now, wearing a yellow robe.
After the fantasy, facing the reality, even if he is the boss, he has to take out his computer and review the day's work.
Just came online, Gu Shijie’s QQ avatar flashed, clicked to see.
"Boss, the district has already made contact. Minhang District is very interested and is willing to provide a signing venue. Once the time is confirmed, district officials will attend the signing ceremony."
"The leaders in Chengdu asked if we could consider opening up new markets in Chengdu, and they are willing to provide necessary assistance."
"The leaders of Jinling and Shanghai resettlement offices conducted research at our company today and were very satisfied. They decided to award Chichime and Fengniao the honorary title of Model Supporting the Military Unit."
"Focus Media headquarters has sent people to Shanghai..."
"..."
There were a lot of messages, including those sent by other people. Li Zehua opened them one by one, picked out the important ones and chose to reply.
The first person to reply was Qin Lang, the leader of the group that was heading to East Guangdong for support. "Boss, why haven't you gone to bed yet so late?"
Li Zehua opened a bottle of mineral water and said, "I can't sleep. By the way, when will your senior brother Liu Zijie come back?"
"We are in the process of going through the process. I heard that many people in the team do not want to give up their lives in Lijiapo and choose to stay there."
Qin Lang typed very quickly, "I have already sent you Brother Liu's QQ number. He is still awake at this hour."
"Row."
Li Zehua happened to have something to consult, so he quickly added the other party. The other party had an English name, so he didn’t know how to translate it, but it felt quite high-sounding.
After introducing himself and exchanging pleasantries, he got straight to the point, "What communication software do people currently choose in Lijiapo?"
Liu Zijie was stunned for a moment, "Most of them are from Microsoft. This is the QQ account I registered in China before. I'm a little uncomfortable with it."
Li Zehua stared at the screen and said, "Just make do with it for now.
There is no need to say much about our relationship. Temasek and Kaohsiung have agreed to invest US$1 million, and the company's future will not be bad.
You will officially join the company from this very second and will be temporarily responsible for company compliance monitoring. Also, please help me investigate the types of instant messaging software on the market, as well as various brands of smartphones in Southeast Asia.
It's like an iPhone, without buttons, that can use 2G or 3G to access the Internet."
When he meets someone who doesn't like to beat around the bush, he might as well be direct. After all, the person he has targeted is already on the pirate ship, so how could he want to run away?
Liu Zijie was very accustomed to this style of chatting. When he saw the specific amount of financing, $100 million in investment, his heart began to beat violently uncontrollably.
How many days has it been?
It’s been less than half a month since the teacher contacted me, right?
It took him a long time to digest it, and he responded, "Okay, I'll arrange for someone to do it now, do you have anything else to do?
If not, I would like to hold a meeting with the team. I believe this news can help more people make the right choice. "
“A team that you value must be full of talents, and the company is very eager for talents now!
Suppose we set up a branch in Lijiapo to promote our overseas business, will they all choose to stay? "
This is the good thing about chatting online. Li Zehua can send messages to Liu Zijie while also contacting Qin Lang to find out the situation.
Not long after, Zeng Haiyang, Gu Shijie and others also sent messages. Li Zehua accepted all of them and typed quickly on the keyboard, not ignoring any of them.
Liu Zijie replied, "..."
It took a long time before the next message popped up, "Is this a spur-of-the-moment decision or did you have a plan in place?
I don't think this is a good idea. Although $100 million is a lot, through my interactions with the company over this period of time, I believe that the funds needed for the company's current business expansion are far from enough.
As for the company’s main business, there is no need to enter the overseas market for the time being, after all, the labor cost in Lijiapo is quite expensive.”
"It's direct enough. It's good to keep this style."
Li Zehua was not angry, but was happy for his subordinates' argument, "Takeout express delivery is certainly not suitable for overseas expansion at this time!
But don’t forget, oh, by the way, I’ll send you a screenshot.”
As he spoke, he opened the securities company's software, selected the current total amount and sent it over. Afraid that the other party might not understand, he also sent a profit chart.
“I want to set up an investment company in Lijiapo, which will be responsible for my personal and future company’s investment business in overseas markets.
And instant messaging software, which is a chat software on the mobile phone, you can collect some information and ask me if you have any questions. "
"???"
Liu Zijie was bewildered. It had been a long time since he had experienced such drastic mood swings as today.
Without responding, he took out his phone and called Qin Lang.
"…That's the thing. The boss is a financial genius. He made all his money in the stock market."
Qin Lang was also speechless, but he told him everything. Finally, he asked curiously, "Brother, why didn't you ask me on QQ? Long-distance calls are very expensive."
"got used to."
Liu Zijie hung up the phone and fell into deep thought.
Li Zehua looked at the empty chat box and held his chin up, "What's going on?"
There is still a lot of information I want to communicate, through mobile instant messaging, and if feasible, maybe I should even talk to Temasek.
The Apple side has accumulated a large number of users so far, and on the Android side, the HTC smartphone was also released in 08.
Although it has not yet entered the stage of large-scale commercial use, if we plan ahead, it may really have great potential in the future. It would be a pity if Lijiaopo does not make reasonable use of its relationship with Temasek.
Just as I was thinking about it, I suddenly heard the doorbell ring, and I was very puzzled, "Who is coming to see me at this time?"
I thought that shouldn’t be the case. This floor has special elevators, and if someone was looking for one, they should have called in advance.
Without thinking much about it, I walked to the door and looked through the surveillance screen, and was stunned!
The person standing outside the door was Lin Qingyi who was just in the villa area.
She was wearing a white dress that showed off her curvy and exquisite figure, and she exuded a youthful vibe.
Especially the occasional flash of white silk under the skirt makes people linger.
However, she was obviously not fully prepared. She crossed her fingers, pursed her lips restlessly, and looked in the direction of the elevator from time to time. This was a typical example of her lack of confidence.
"Who arranged for us to come here?"
Li Zehua had many questions that he hadn't answered. He looked back at the huge suite, especially the bedroom, and said, "In this era, there shouldn't be live broadcasts, right?"
"It's hard to say. After all, this is the room arranged by the venture capital."
After thinking about it, I felt that there was no need to put myself in danger and was about to leave.
Suddenly, a voice sounded at the door, "Mr. Li, are you in the room?"
The sound is very soft and you can't hear it unless you listen carefully.
In the dead of night, seeing this scene, I feel like there is a fire burning in my heart.
Lin Qingyi mustered up the courage to say that sentence, but thinking she would get no response, she turned around and wanted to leave.
But he seemed to have thought of something, and he was hesitating at the door, raising his hand as if he wanted to knock.
After hesitating for a long time, he tapped lightly.
a bit.
Two times.
Three times.
The sound was not loud. The executive suite had excellent sound insulation. If Li Zehua had not been standing at the door, he would definitely not have heard it.
At this moment, it was like a knock on his heart, very heavy and itchy, but he just couldn't scratch it.
"are you asleep?"
Lin Qingyi seemed to have made up her mind and finally asked tentatively.
Just as she was about to turn around, a voice rang out.
"Cough cough~"
Li Zehua swore that this was a subconscious reaction, the aftereffect of smoking a cigar for the first time, his lungs and throat were not used to it.
This voice was like thunderclap out of the blue, which instantly stunned Lin Qingyi. She paused for a moment, and then slowly turned around.
At this point, Li Zehua had no choice but to open the door. Although the girl in the video was pretty, she lacked a bit of liveliness.
When you see her in person, you will find that she is not only beautiful, but her temperament is even more outstanding, especially with this outfit, which is so charming and makes people's food salivate.
He leaned against the door, showing no intention of inviting anyone in. "It's so late, what's the matter?"
"no no."
Lin Qingyi was stared at by his fiery eyes, and every second was tortured. She always felt like she was stripped naked and was being examined like a commodity, with no dignity at all.
Unfortunately, Li Zehua is just that kind of person. How could he use this to test others?
Who can withstand this test?
He forced himself to speak coldly from his thirty-six-degree mouth, "Since you are fine, go to bed early."
As he said this, he pretended to close the door.
"Don't."
Lin Qingyi lowered her head and dared not look directly at him. She wanted to go forward, but she didn't dare.
"Did they force you to come?"
Li Zehua was puzzled. He was so hesitant and unwilling to agree to the deal. There was no reason for him to just go along with it.
"No, no, I did it on my own accord."
Perhaps she sensed his impatience, Lin Qingyi pursed her lips and slowly looked up at him, her eyes slightly evasive, as if she had fear and desire.
"I don't understand what you guys are going to do!" Li Zehua slammed the door shut, subconsciously glanced at the surveillance camera at the door, and said, "Wait for me downstairs, I have something else to do."
Lin Qingyi was confused. They neither let her in nor let her leave. What was the purpose of this?
But I didn't dare to refuse, so I could only obey.
"It's so hard to choose a beauty that comes to your doorstep!"
Back in the office, he rubbed his face fiercely, "Enough is enough. In the business world, there are intrigues, and in life, we have to be on guard against open and hidden attacks, and even sugar-coated bullets are used."
I was muttering, and then I glanced at my laptop, "Work is still a peace of mind."
At this time, QQ messages kept popping up, and Liu Zijie also replied, "Mr. Li, do you mind if I take a screenshot and forward it? Please rest assured that it will never be spread."
"If it's a job in financial investment, I also know some reliable friends. Setting up a branch in Lijiapo will also help Qingyun Asset Management's products to go overseas in the future..."
"I don't mind, but try not to send it out. You can show it to them on your computer."
Li Zehua tapped the instruments loudly, as if this was the only way to vent the energy in his heart that had nowhere to go.
"You try to contact people first, not too many. Once the arrangements are made, we can return to China to discuss the details."
He has a poor understanding of overseas financial markets, and this just provides an opportunity for him to go overseas in the future.
Fortunately, he still has some impression of some long-term stocks that are bound to rise, including Apple, Microsoft, Nvidia, and the famous Tesla. For example, he has heard of T-coin even though he has never bought it.
"It seems that BT coins have only been around for a short time? You can stockpile some of these things. You don't need too many, a few thousand or tens of thousands will be enough. Maybe they will be useful in the future."
As he thought about this, the overseas expansion plan gradually took shape. After careful consideration, he wrote down some of the things he could say and sent them to Liu Zijie in written form.
He then assigned tasks to several executives online, completely forgetting that there was a beautiful woman who was just sent away by him and was waiting in the hall.
It's a very confusing operation.
"I always feel like I forgot something?"
After successfully communicating with Liu Zijie, he suddenly felt strange. He held his chin and thought for a while, then remembered, "I don't know if the person is still there. It won't hurt to go down and take a look."
Then he stood up, dressed and prepared to go downstairs.
Lin Qingyi was very embarrassed. She had been waiting downstairs for nearly half an hour.
With this outfit and this stunning appearance, she appeared in the lobby of a five-star hotel late at night.
It's just very strange.
The housekeeper was even more puzzled. Someone had specifically informed her and she had personally swiped the card to deliver it. Why had it been staying there all this time?
I didn't dare to ask, so I could only bring over a cup of coffee.
"Ma'am, is it convenient for me to sit here?"
A successful man with a big belly, who claimed himself to be a social elite, was dazzled as soon as he entered the door. He was not in a hurry to go upstairs, but came up to him as if possessed by a ghost.
While asking, she did not forget to show off the big diamond brand on her wrist, which sparkled under the light.
Unfortunately, all he did was just flirting with a blind man. Lin Qingyi didn't even look at him. She stood up and sat down on the other side.
She bit her lip hard and wanted to call the other party several times to tell them that she didn't want to.
But when I thought about the contract that had already been signed, the horrible penalty for breach of contract, and the desire that I had dreamed of more than once, to fly to the top of the tree and become a phoenix.
She retreated and could only be passive and continue to wait.
"Ma'am, I just want to treat you to a drink and some midnight snack. The seafood in this hotel..."
When successful people are rejected, they may feel embarrassed and chase after the other person without giving up.
But he didn't expect to be stopped by the housekeeper who got there before him. Are you kidding?
This is an important person, a service recipient that I greet personally, how could he allow anyone to harass him?
"I'm sorry, sir. This is our hotel's most distinguished guest. Please don't disturb him too much. Thank you."
There is a saying that goes, you are the guest of the most distinguished guest.
The man was furious and was not willing to give in. Just as he was about to continue pestering her, he suddenly saw a figure coming up from his side.
Under his incredulous gaze, he spoke only a few words, then left in a graceful manner, hugging the woman he had always dreamed of.
Look at his clothes, they are not as valuable as mine.
"Him! Why?"
The man gnashed his teeth in hatred and was about to do something.
Then he saw the housekeeper, who had looked indifferent to him just now, greeted him with a smile.
But not for him, but for that kid!
"Mr. Li, the car is ready. Do we need to wait for you to come back in the evening?"
The person who came was Li Zehua. At this moment, Lin Qingyi was hugging his arm. Hearing this, she opened her mouth softly and said, "Yeah."
It's strange to come back.
It was not until the Mercedes-Benz drove away that the unyielding man shouted in anger, "I'm going to file a complaint against you."
Nothing else, two burly security guards in suits were staring at him.
The housekeeper turned around and said with a smile, "It is important for people to know themselves. It is an honor for Hilton to have this gentleman stay at Hilton!
And you, the guest! Please do as you please. "
After saying that, he ignored her and just whispered something to the plainclothes man in a suit, then walked to a secluded place and made a phone call.
"... um, um, I'll call you when that gentleman comes back, okay."
This is certainly not because Li Zehua has reached that status, but rather that he has the resources those people need, but it makes no difference.
Sooner or later he would have them.
The man was warned in a low voice and gradually calmed down. Thinking back to what had just happened, he became more and more uneasy, and cold sweat fell.
"I'm sorry, I just drank too much. I'll leave right away. I'll leave right away."
How could he possibly offend such a big shot who could have the hotel make special arrangements, receive him with special licenses, and be accompanied by a stunning beauty?
We can only hope that the other party will not pursue the matter.
The panic-stricken man did not mention the complaint, but hurried upstairs, packed up his things and ran away overnight under the cold gaze of the plainclothes men in suits without saying a word.
"Mr. Li, we are right behind us. Please feel free to tell us if you need anything."
An exceptionally dazzling Rolls-Royce stopped in front of a busy commercial street. When the door was opened to greet the guests, the driver spoke in a measured and soft voice.
Behind him, a Mercedes-Benz stopped steadily.
"No, I'm just going to take a walk, you guys go back first."
Li Zehua felt a little uncomfortable because this was not something he could enjoy with this identity.
They didn't want the people behind them to control everything about them at any time, so they refused to follow them.
Before the driver could say anything, he dragged the dazed Lin Qingyi into the crowd and disappeared...
"What, you don't like it?"
After turning several corners and making sure that no one was following him, Li Zehua started to visit the night market with great interest. The atmosphere of life in old Yanjing was very novel to him, who had never been there before.
It was just a pity for Lin Qingyi. In order to see him, she specially picked a pair of high heels. She walked very fast and hurriedly just now, which was more than a little tiring.
But the man in front of me didn't know how to be gentle with women and didn't care at all. Finally, I walked around and stopped in front of a spicy hot pot restaurant.
"I've been drinking so much that I haven't had time to eat a full meal. Do you mind eating this with me?"
It was just a casual question, and then he sat down and ordered food. Lin Qingyi couldn't refuse, so she carefully wiped the plastic tables and chairs before sitting down.
The boss was very puzzled. It was so strange. How could this kind of operation be possible?
I couldn't help but take a few more glances, and then looking at the yellow-faced woman busy skewering the dishes, I couldn't help but sigh that people have the same different fates!
But then, something that made him even more desperate happened like a magic drama.
Li Zehua ate very quickly, finishing the food in no time, and wiped his mouth with a tissue.
"Pay the bill, what are you standing there for?"
"Did you bring your ID? Look over there, there's a hotel, go get a room and wait for me."
"what?"
Lin Qingyi was stunned and foolishly followed his instructions. In the end, she even paid for the hotel expenses out of her own pocket.
I don't know why, but my head was dizzy until I went upstairs and entered the room and heard the sound of running water, then I realized it.
Unfortunately it was too late.
While she was still struggling, she was instantly pulled into a warm embrace. The White Rabbit that she had treasured for twenty years was being roughly and wantonly handled for the first time.
The rapid breathing sound was covered by the sound of running water, and the passionate water flow instantly wet the clothes~
The hazy beauty is captivating.
"Don't~"
I didn't even have time to refuse, I just let out a cry of surprise, and instantly felt my buds covered, and I couldn't stand anymore~
The whole person fell forward involuntarily.
"I can't tell, it's quite interesting."
Someone took advantage and acted cute, "Isn't this what you wanted? Don't you want it?"
His hands kept moving, and he didn't forget to provoke, "As long as you say stop, I will pretend that nothing happened."
What a thief he is, he left the girl's bag outside the door and turned the shower head on to the maximum, the sound of running water was enough to cover up any secret recording.
Lin Qingyi was stunned, letting her hair be soaked by the water. She was dazed, as if she was dead.
Li Zehua's movements gradually slowed down. What does this mean?
Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly saw a light in Lin Qingyi's eyes.
He thought it was an illusion, but the next second, before he could react, he was hugged tightly.
Then,
Take a bite~
"what!!!"
