613, Hongmen Banquet
Tom didn't speak, and Osamu Sakurai refused very firmly: "I don't care what his purpose is, it is impossible to succeed in any case, you help me tell him, thank him for his kindness, we are not free!"
Saying this didn't work, Li Qiwei was a little distressed, seeing that the other party was about to leave, if he didn't invite them this time, he wouldn't have a chance to invite them next time, so when he was about to make a move, he thought of an excuse again, and hurriedly rushed up to stop Tom, because he was a little shaken just now.
"Tom, why don't you go with us, Xie Xiaoke will let me come, if I don't move you, my life will be difficult, you can just go and leave for more than ten minutes, as long as you arrive, I'll be fine!"
Tom was a little incredulous: "Why are you so afraid of Xie Xiaoke?"
Ridgway continued: "Do you know who this is?"
Following the direction of his finger, Tom saw Smith standing on the sidelines and shook his head: "I don't know, I haven't asked yet?"
"He is a friend of mine in Las Vegas, a servant in the Bellagio casino Rapan Cohen's family, and is now being ordered to serve Xie Xiaoke, Xie Xiaoke won $10 billion in gambling over there, at that time I also bet with Cohen, lost $1 billion in the middle, I still owe Xie Xiaoke more than $400 million and didn't give it, I'm afraid that he will suddenly collect debts, I'm in no way now, Tom, you can help me, go over there and leave perfunctory, even if it's 10 minutes, at least my task is completed!" Ridgway's words smelled sad, and the listeners wept, and Tom had to promise to help him.
"Okay, when?"
"It's 19:30 tonight!" Li Qiwei also said to Sakurai Osamu by the way: "Mr. Sakurai will also go down together, you two together, so that you can take a pass, lest Tom fall into Xie Xiaoke's way!"
Sakurai thought about it, since Tom couldn't fly away, then he would definitely follow, first of all, he didn't worry about Tom, and secondly, he also prevented Xie Xiaoke from deceiving Tom: "Okay!"
"Thank you so much, Tom, my good brother!"
After Li Qiwei finished persuading, he left happily.
Mr. Smith, who didn't say a word from beginning to end, said to Ridgway after he came out of Columbia: "You're a good fool, turn Tom and Osamu Sakurai around!"
Li Qiwei said with a smile: "Of course, go back to Boss Xie to report the situation!"
"Good!"
Li Qiwei drove the car, took Smith, and went directly back to Xie Xiaoke's residence, the Lady of Liberty Manor.
in the hall.
There was a long coffee table in the middle of the huge sofa, and there were a lot of fruits on the coffee table, and three cups of tea, the tea leaves were all good tea, and it was still relatively early, and Tom and Sakurai Osamu would arrive later, so they made tea for the two of them first.
Several maids stood beside him to serve gently, and Li Qiwei and Mr. Smith were not at Xie Xiaoke's house once or twice, but it was the first time to see him do such a grand event, and I felt a little surprised.
Li Qiwei looked at the furnishings on the other side of the dining table, and knew that Xie Xiaoke was going to make an expensive one tonight, and he could also follow the back to eat and drink, and he was very happy.
The afternoon time passed very long, watching the time slowly approaching 19:30, Li Qiwei and Smith were also very anxious, Xie Xiaoke kept leaning on the balcony to blow the wind, smoking cigarettes, looking at the scenery, and video chatting with Wang Xiaochen.
Seeing that the boss was leisurely here, Smith couldn't bear it, and asked Li Qiwei: "Mr. Li, did you say that Tom and Sakurai will really come to the appointment, the time is coming soon, what if you don't come?"
Li Qiwei was not worried at all, and said very confidently: "I know Tom very well, if he doesn't want to come, he will definitely refuse me directly, it is impossible to agree first and then regret it, as long as he agrees to other people's things, even if a comet hits the earth, he will not break the contract!"
Although Ridgway and Tom have not been together for a long time, they know his style of doing things very well, and it is rumored that he is the honest and reliable man in Los Angeles, and it is because of his noble qualities and good credit that he will be reused by Columbia Pictures.
Smith had been walking up and down the living room, impatient.
Finally......
19:20 p.m.
The bodyguard outside the door came in and said to Li Qiwei: "Isn't the boss there? There's a car outside!"
Ridgway and Smith looked at each other, thinking that they must be coming, so they hurriedly walked out, and Xie Xiaoke, who was on the balcony upstairs, also saw the car coming in the yard, and saw a black man and an Asian coming out of the car door.
Xie Xiaoke didn't know Tom and Sakurai Osamu Worm, so he had to wait for someone below to inform him before going down.
After a while, Smith's phone rang: "Boss, they've arrived!"
"Good!"
Xie Xiaoke hung up the phone with just one word, and then went downstairs with two maids.
The first time the two sides met, although Tom didn't like Xie Xiaoke in his heart, he still greeted him politely on the surface, smiling, and very cordial: "This must be the well-known post-90s richest Asian billionaire Xie Xiaoke Xie Boss!"
Xie Xiaoke looked at Tom and said, "Look at Your Excellency, it must be Tom, the deputy manager of the finance department of Columbia Pictures, who is this?" After finishing speaking, he pointed to the Asian man standing next to him and asked.
Tom introduced him: "This is my colleague, named Osamu Sakurai, who came from Tokyo. ”
"Hello Boss Xie!" Osamu Sakurai said with his hand outstretched.
Xie Xiaoke also achieved basic etiquette, and after the two sides got to know each other, they sat at the table.
"Butler, tell them to serve!"
"Yes, boss!"
Then, under the instructions of the old housekeeper, several maids in the house brought all the dishes prepared in the kitchen, all of which were made by well-known Western chefs, and the taste was catering to Japan and Americans, and there was no Chinese food at all, showing the greatest sincerity.
Steaks, barbecues, fried chicken, salmon sashimi, etc., are very appetizing, and in conjunction with The Macallan Lalique 65 Year Old Single Malt Whisky, there is a servant service throughout the process, which can be said to be meticulous, noble and elegant.
Tom looked at this expensive whiskey and smiled: "Boss Xie, this is too wasteful, we don't dare to drink this wine!"
The market price of The Macallan Lalique series 65-year-old single malt whisky is 400,000 yuan a bottle, and the rich people who are not the rich generally can't afford to drink it, and Xie Xiaoke This is the first time to meet them, since they can take out such a precious wine to entertain them, there must be an ulterior secret behind it, or there are some very dangerous things that want to ask them for help.
