The Prosperous Years of Siheyuan

Chapter 37 The Night Visit
After leaving the hotel, I still took a taxi and said to the driver: "Go to Mr. Huo's house."

After receiving a positive answer, Chen Jisheng put the suitcase in the back seat and sat in the passenger seat.

The road from the hotel to the destination was not that short. The traffic on Hong Kong Island was busy at night. After driving around for almost an hour, Chen Jisheng saw the sign on Pok Fu Lam Road and was almost at his destination.

When we arrived at the place, we were notified by the concierge. Unfortunately, the real owner was not here, but it was a coincidence. After contacting us, we found that the real owner was at the nearby foreign residence, and he went to the foreign residence in someone else's car.

The foreign residence was not far away. After ten minutes' drive, a five-story foreign-style building with a courtyard appeared in front of them. The owner and the foreign residence were waiting outside the iron gate of the courtyard.

After Chen Jisheng got out of the car, the two parties looked at each other without speaking first. At the main house, Chen Jisheng reported that he was from Sijiu City, but did not say the specific origin. As a result, the pomp here was a bit grand.

The two sides were embarrassed. Chen Jisheng's shortcoming was his age. He put on a show of personal greetings, and then he took the initiative to address her. In vain, he lowered his status as the host. He couldn't say this first.

"Little brother, please come inside!"

The origin of the other party is unknown, and he is too young. There are two suitcases beside him. He obviously found him directly. He also thought that he should not come out directly. The scene was immediately at a disadvantage. Fortunately, the young man Know the rules.

"Mr. Huo, first please."

The embarrassment was relieved after a while, but when the servant came up to carry the luggage, there was another small problem. The suitcase containing the knife was too heavy, and the servant was not careful, so he didn't pick it up and dropped it to the ground.

Chen Jisheng had no choice but to lift the suitcase by himself, and followed the servant who was carrying the other suitcase. After coming and going, the two sides should be evened out.

The group of people arrived at the door. Mr. Huo stood at the door of the small building again. This time it was appropriate. Chen Jisheng also followed the rules and placed the suitcase on the ground not far from the door without taking it inside.

"Mr. Huo, I'm Chen Jisheng. I apologize for disturbing you late at night."

Chen Jisheng clasped his fists in salute, bowing to the mountain gate, and then motioned to the servant carrying the suitcase to take out the tobacco, wine and paintings he brought with him.

"Brother Chen, please come inside."

The special offer has been around for a long time, but the explanations are different. Mr. Huo has also seen the world. As soon as he smoked and drank, he knew the origin of Chen Jisheng, so he invited people in.

The cigarettes and wine were given to the servant. Chen Jisheng just took the painting and followed Mr. Huo into the living room of the small building. He followed his instructions and sat down on the sofa. He waited for the servant to serve English black tea before he was ready to speak.

The two of them had never met before, so they were naturally not familiar with each other. Gifts could not be given forcefully, so they could only take their time.

"Mr. Huo, I'm a small person in Forty-Nine City, and I'm here to seek cooperation this time."

Mr. Huo is in his early forties, a time when he is in the prime of life and his career is at its peak. His dark and thin face is as sharp as an eagle's and his eyes are at their peak.

"Brother Chen, I wonder what kind of cooperation are you seeking?"

The origin of the little man can't be investigated deeply, and he came to seek cooperation again, and he didn't know the details with empty teeth, which made Mr. Huo also face difficulties.

"In all aspects, the first is real estate."

When Chen Jisheng mentioned real estate, he couldn't continue the conversation. Mr. Huo wanted to see off the guests, but he had just been to Sijiu City a year ago and met some people.

Is this young man coming here to get some benefits?Or some other purpose? He couldn't guess in a few words. Things didn't go well today. It was awkward when they met, and he didn't know what to say.

"Mr. Huo doesn't need to care about my identity. Even if I really go to the north to investigate, I'm still a real nobody. Our cooperation is just business."

The person on the other side was embarrassed. Chen Jisheng knew the reason, but the conversation was shallow and deep. Some words should be said slowly and some things should be done slowly.

"I don't know how Brother Chen wants to cooperate. You might as well tell us."

The more little people do not need attention, the more attention should be paid to them. It is easy to say that they are really small people, but it is not easy to tell if they are small people. It is better to clarify the carriage and horse first.

"Mr. Huo, let's start with the box outside the door. Inside is money, 160 million U.S. dollars."

Chen Jisheng's words sounded particularly familiar to Mr. Huo. Wasn't this something he had done before?It's just that the young man opposite him made bolder moves than he did at the time.

Thinking about the past, he also became more careful, the person coming was not evil!Without mentioning bringing in the money, Mr. Huo fell into deep thought.

All businessmen are cautious, and so is Mr. Huo, who has worked his way up from the bottom. The dilemma in the real estate industry and the sudden arrival of strangers make people have to be careful.

Seeing that Mr. Huo was taking the long exam, Chen Jisheng didn't bother him. He took a sip of black tea and tasted it carefully. It was a bit unpleasant. The tea taste was too strong, lacked fragrance, and was not very elegant.

Looking at the black tea in the cup, Chen Jisheng's thoughts were a little divergent. The Huo family was trustworthy and safe. He was relaxed sitting on the sofa.

"Mr. Huo, this black tea is not as good as our black tea, and black teas such as Pu'er and Fuling tea in southern Xinjiang are also better than this."

Seeing that Mr. Huo was still silent, and it was night time again, Chen Jisheng could only lighten the atmosphere first.

"Xiao Fang, come down here for a moment. Xiao Chen knows tea. Let's chat together."

After hearing Chen Jisheng's words to ease the atmosphere, Mr. Huo also relaxed his brows. It is taboo to make hasty decisions in business negotiations. The young man opposite him was well-informed and knowledgeable.

"Ms. Fang, I just talked about black tea with Mr. Huo. I personally feel that this asan tea is not as good as our black tea and black tea."

With the addition of a woman, the awkward atmosphere can be alleviated. When they first met, Chen Jisheng's title was conservative, but seeing him openly having three wives and four concubines really made him envious. "Xiao Chen is someone who understands tea. Unfortunately, his tea is very famous."

Seeing that the second lady was also being careful, it was obvious that she had been nearby and heard the conversation between the two of them. Adding another person later would not ease the atmosphere.

"It's just a commercial package. We have a long history, a vast territory and abundant resources. Mr. Huo has connections in the north. The real estate sector has also been in a bottleneck period recently.

It is better to share the country's worries, do this tea business, and exchange some foreign exchange, which can also alleviate the concerns of all parties. "

Chen Jisheng's words, both dismissive and offensive, not only made his position clear, but also gave a nod to the two people opposite him. He was not here to get an advantage.

"How should I do this tea business?"

Mr. Huo is naturally aware of the difficulties in the north. Tea exports are basically blank at present, but there is a lot of room for maneuver. The matter does not involve his own fundamental interests, and his thinking here has become more vivid.

Regarding these business methods, Chen Jisheng has a good grasp of them, and he has talked about them in many chicken soups. Let’s summarize them in a comprehensive way without making them too simple.

As for asam tea, it is just a substitute. If it becomes bigger accidentally, it will fall into the right position.

As long as the publicity and packaging of Authentic are in place, it will not be easy to defeat it completely. It is not difficult to fight against it and restore Authentic. Although the details are a bit complicated, it is not too difficult.

There are many barriers to commercial confrontation, but Hong Kong City is within the enemy. Many barriers outside shopping malls almost do not exist here. A pure commercial confrontation is not difficult for the Huo family and the forces in Hong Kong City.

It was just a retelling of the organization. It was a little more complicated and took a little longer, but it didn't matter. After taking a sip of black tea, Chen Jisheng started a business lecture to the two of them.

"Little brother is a great talent!"

After listening to Chen Jisheng's lecture, Mr. Huo, who was already able to develop new things, couldn't help but admire these unscrupulous business methods. They were really novel and effective, and he felt a little ashamed.

"Chen Sheng is brilliant!"

Seeing the praise from her husband's family, Mrs. Fang also adjusted her title and praised her. She was the most publicized woman of the Huo family, and she was also good at business.

Chen Jisheng's lecture touched on all aspects. Thinking about the future development of this business, I feel a little excited.

"Mr. Huo, you are now attracting attention from all sides. Judging from the situation in Southeast Asia, the focus of Europe and the United States will shift here in recent years, and attention to you will become higher and higher.

It is better to leave this business to Sister Fang, and Mr. Huo will make arrangements. On the one hand, Sister Fang's image and temperament are in line with this business, and on the other hand, she can share the risks of the situation with your family. "

Of course Chen Jisheng saw Mrs. Fang's move. Although the Huo family was a good partner, dealing directly with Mr. Huo would still be inconvenient in the future. It would be better to cultivate another spokesperson in his family.

Mrs. Fang is also a well-connected person besides the head of the Huo family. If the head can't be supported, of course she will have her own thoughts. Once this business is done, she will be with Tieci in the future.

"This……"

Mr. Huo knows that there are disputes in the family, and he also knows the business scale of Asan Tea. If you take care of the family, you cannot have both. If you take care of people, you will get both people and money. The balance of interests is very clear.

This Chen Jisheng is always embarrassing. When it comes to family matters, he must think long term. If there is a dispute in the future, it will cause trouble for Xiao Qiang.

"How about we join forces?"

After thinking for a long time, Mr. Huo gave an answer hesitantly. Mrs. Fang was also overjoyed. She was still a little weak in doing it herself, so it was better to cooperate with Chen Jisheng who put forward the idea.

"Chen Sheng, happy cooperation in the future!"

Seeing that her husband's family was still a little hesitant, Mrs. Fang stood up and shook hands with Chen Jisheng to finalize the cooperation first.

"Sister Fang, when it comes to the north, it's not easy for me to get involved."

As for the matter of tea, just mentioning it casually, it is really inconvenient for Chen Jisheng to participate, and it is difficult to explain to Sijiu City that his background has been revealed.

"We come forward and the profits are split [-]-[-]."

Chen Jisheng's refusal to cooperate only strengthened Mr. Huo's determination. He thought it was a matter of profit distribution and made concessions directly.

"It's not a matter of profit. I'm a nobody and I'm not suitable to participate in this deal."

Chen Jisheng talked about the facts, but Mr. Huo misunderstood him, thinking that he couldn't make the decision when it came to money, so he had to give in one more step.

"We will provide the funds, and the profits will be split [-]-[-]."

To be able to make such a business plan, there is no limit to the number of young men on the other side. Mr. Huo decided to make good friends even if he suffered some losses. The investment in this transaction was mainly in publicity, and it took a little longer, so the upfront expenses would not be too much.

"Mr. Huo, it's not about money. I can decide the money at the door, not my status!"

Seeing that the other party had been misunderstanding, Chen Jisheng simply pointed out that the local and upper levels would be involved in this deal. If he was caught in it, he could easily become a rat in the bellows, and the gain would outweigh the loss.
