Chapter 823: Help
In the hotel room, Chen Dahe looked at Huo Lao, who was fully armed, with a mask on his face and a peaked cap on his head, and grinned, "Huo Sheng, it's a hot day, it's a big night, I'm afraid your dress is even more eye-catching." β
Mr. Huo came by himself, without any entourage, and I don't know if he was waiting below or somewhere else.
At the invitation of Chen Dahe, Mr. Huo took off his mask and hat and put it on the table, and said with a smile, "Don't be afraid, others will only think that it is a big star when they see it, who would have thought that it was me as an old man." β
"That's the same," Chen Dahe poured a cup of hot tea and put it in front of him, then sat down opposite him and laughed softly, "Huo Sheng, you come here like this, but what's the matter?"
"Well," Mr. Huo nodded, looking at Chen Dahe, "There's something I want to ask you for." β
Chen Dahe stretched out his right hand without hesitation, "Please speak." β
As for what to help, he didn't ask, Mr. Huo is most praised, not his huge family business and transcendent status, but the credibility and morality, anyone who has worked with him, in the end can become his friends and partners, and never worry about being stabbed in the back by him one day, not only that, as long as friends are in trouble, within the scope of his ability, he will also try his best to help, in the early years, whenever the real estate or stock market in Xiangjiang changed dramatically, some Xiangjiang businessmen were desperate, someone told them, only Mr. Huo alone in Xiangjiang can save you! Based on this sentence alone, it can be seen how his reputation is in the business community in Xiangjiang, and he has indeed helped many people.
This is also one of the reasons why Huo Xingyetang can still grow bigger and bigger even under the undisguised frequent suppression of the Xiangjiang authorities, and in view of this, Chen Dahe will not worry about Mr. Huo making any excessive demands.
Mr. Huo was also very satisfied with Chen Dahe's attitude, although his heart was a little heavy, he still had a smile on his face, and arched his hands high, "Then I'll say thank you first!"
Then he put his hand on the arm of the chair, leaned forward slightly, and said softly, "I have something important to do, I must go to Beijin, but now the British have no reason to stop me from leaving the country, although I can take the land and sea routes, but there will definitely be people blocking me along the way, I don't want to follow my old brother to be killed or injured, think about it, there is only one way to easily send me out of Xiangjiang!"
Chen Dahe took a deep breath and looked at him with a solemn face, "You say." β
If he didn't guess wrong, this time Mr. Huo went to Beijin, definitely to participate in the National Day parade, he was the only Xiangjiang person who received an invitation at this military parade, was personally invited by the chief to go over, if there was no Chen Dahe's appearance, Mr. Huo in order to participate in this event, Mr. Huo will take a boat from Xiangjiang to Aomen, and then from Aomen to Guangzhou, and finally from Guangzhou to Beijin, so as to avoid the Xiangying authorities and the eagle claws of Taiwan, except for going north, the British have no need to limit his itinerary.
And this is not the first time he has participated in the National Day Anniversary Ceremony, as early as 64 years, Mr. Huo was invited to secretly rush to Beijin, and was received by the founding head and the current chief, he thought that the mainland was short of materials, in order not to cause trouble to Beijin, he also brought his own electric stove and food, that is, since then, the British suppressed him from secretly to blatantly, and then two years later, there was a starlight incident that made him miserable.
Although the situation has changed a lot now, and bilateral relations are not as tense as in previous years, but only at the official level, the suppression of him by the Xiangying authorities in private has not weakened, although without Chen Dahe, he can eventually go out, but if he can make a contribution, Chen Dahe will never be stingy.
"Okay," Mr. Huo's sharp eyes narrowed slightly, and he said softly, "I think, can I ask Mr. Ma of EO Group to take a private jet parked at Kai Tak Airport in a few days to go to Beijin to inspect the work, EO Group started from Beijin Jones Company, and it is normal to set the first business trip there after taking office!"
Chen Dahe was slightly stunned, and secretly shouted in his heart, if there is anyone in Xiangjiang who can make the authorities dare not search, but can help, it must be EO Group, as the most powerful emerging consortium in the United States, the British will never dare to offend easily, Mr. Huo took Ma Anguo's tailwind, it is indeed the easiest and safest.
At the same time, he also understood that during the last cocktail party, Mr. Huo came to test himself, I am afraid that there are also today's factors in it, and he tested not only himself that day, but also Ma Anguo, if Ma Anguo did not hesitate to take over the gambling contract for himself at that time, Huo Sheng would not appear here today.
Thinking about things in his heart, his face remained silent, and he asked directly, "Do you need to cover your board?"
The corners of Mr. Huo's mouth widened, "This is the best, the security on the plane is provided by Longjiang Company, and I don't have the confidence to avoid these elites who have survived a hundred battles." β
This private jet nominally belongs to EO Airlines and is subject to the deployment of the EO Group's Asian headquarters, but in fact it was left by Oliver to Chen Dahe, Rao Shan will naturally arrange the highest level of security guard, not to mention Huo Lao, even if it is the main force from the delta, don't want to board it easily.
Chen Dahe asked again, "Then what time do you think is appropriate?"
The corners of Mr. Huo's eyebrows raised slightly, "Can you decide the time?"
He originally thought that Chen Dahe and Ma Anguo should have an equal relationship, but now it seems that there is probably another hidden truth in it.
Chen Dahe grinned, "Lao Ma was my teacher back then, and he was also a student of my old man, and I arranged for him to go to the United States, if I disagreed with Miss Jones, he would definitely listen to me!"
"I see," Mr. Huo nodded, "Mr. Li Zhonghe I know, but it's a pity that fate is on the side, this time I will go back to Beijin, I will definitely come to visit!"
Then he looked at Chen Dahe and sighed, "Some of the people who crossed the sea with me back then, some died in the belly of a fish and could not die well, and some did not care about their livelihood in their later years, and only a small number of them were left with no worries about food and clothing, but they were also riddled with diseases, and there were very few people who could get out of the bottom like me, the reason is that they only worked hard and did not know how to eat their brains, and outsiders said that I Huo Guantai ate brains, but compared with you, the difference is not in the Daoli, the back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, amazing!"
Chen Dahe smiled dryly, he didn't understand why he suddenly said this, so he had to say politely, "Mr. Huo, you are too polite, I think you must have been at the top in all exams back then, and you have been promoted to school with the first place many times, compared to you, I am too far behind." β
Mr. Huo, a scholar, is indeed a real hammer, since he became famous, the school that studied back then turned out his test papers and announced them to the public, many people in Xiangjiang know that if it were not for the outbreak of the Xiang-Japan War, he was forced to interrupt his studies and step into the society, if he didn't make Xiangjiang, he would have one less big guy, one more barrister or big doctor, well, it may also be a senior comprador, he got the offer letter from Jardine Matheson and Co., but he was not willing to be lonely and chose another path, that is, the well-known sea.
Mr. Huo was noncommittal to Chen Dahe's politeness, but asked softly, "I heard that Mr. Chen went to Europe to study a few years ago and started a business there at the same time, and the start-up capital for the business was provided by your old employer, Miss Jones of EO Group, at the cost of serving as Miss Jones's investment advisor and giving her advice, can I do this?"
Chen Dahe blinked and looked dazed, I heard, who said it, how could I not know it?
Looking at Mr. Huo, who was smiling and silent, Chen Dahe suddenly reacted and nodded hurriedly, "Yes, yes, I didn't expect this little thing to bother you all the time, I have a heart!"
Huo Lao has heard of something, but is filling the loopholes for him, the more than 30 million US dollars of funds he founded the Third International Bank back then came from the income of the Mocha Company that he cooperated with Thierry, and this part of the money cannot see the light, if the fact that the boss behind the Third International Bank is him is exposed in the future, someone will definitely ask how his start-up capital came from, although he can also use Oliver to block the gun, but how can the words in Mr. Huo's mouth be convincing, and then only Mr. Huo needs to mention it lightly in front of the chief, which can reduce how much trouble he doesn't know, so he said that he has a heartγ
And this is also a small reward for Mr. Huo's help to him, as for the rest, that is another calculation.
