Chapter 172: Where did the confidence come from
At end of the day, the black Bentley stopped in front of the bank.
Familiar car, familiar license plate, and only a person of Gu Linan's status can park his car in this place without any scruples, and there is no parking space at the entrance of the bank - the clerks who got off work passed by here, and they were all talking about Chi Wan's husband coming to pick her up from work, so happy.
Gu Linan didn't come to pick up Chi Wan from work, he had a party in the evening, and he had an hour of leisure halfway, so he came to see her.
Chi Guan worked overtime today, and he had to eat dinner at the unit, and when he came out to meet Gu Linan, he had just ordered a meal.
"Chairman Gu also has boring times. β
got into the car, Chi Wan laughed and couldn't help teasing him.
Gu Linan put his hand on the cigarette outside the car window, looking at her with a smile, and at the end, he reached out and pinched her face, "What are you going to eat for dinner?"
"Ordered a spicy chicken diced set. β
Chi Wan pulled his hand over and clasped it with both hands, lowered his eyes to look at the lines of his palm, and chatted a few words with or without a match.
Seeing that the time was almost up, he said to him, "You go, I have to go and get busy." There's a piece of information that needs to be rushed out tonight. β
The man withdrew his hand and extinguished the cigarette butt, "What time is it, I'll come and pick you up." β
Chi Wan smiled, "Where am I so squeamish, didn't I come by car, I can go back by myself." β
"There are times when you are squeamish. β
"Get out!"
Chi Wan was about to get out of the car, and the man smiled and squeezed her wrist, "Don't tease you, kiss me and I'll leave." β
Chi Wan instantly blushed, looked around and said, "I don't want it." β
"If you don't kiss, you can't leave. β
"Gu Linan, I found you so naΓ―ve. β
Having said that, while no one was paying attention, Chi Wan still leaned over and kissed him on the face, "Are you satisfied?"
Gu Linan nodded, "Satisfied." β
Chi Wan opened the car door, "I said it's okay, don't come to me, pay attention to the impact." β
Got out of the car and closed the door, turned around and walked two steps back again, "What are you doing at night?"
Chi Wan doesn't have much to do, and he is not curious about his work, but thinking about the husband and wife, do they have to care about him occasionally.
This was probably something that Gu Linan didn't expect, he was obviously stunned when he heard her say this, and then replied truthfully: "A Japanese." β
Chi Wan squinted, "Do you want to do business with the Japanese?"
He curled his lips, "What's the problem?"
Chi Wan thought for a while and shook his head, "It doesn't seem to be a problem." β
After saying that, he waved his hand, turned around and trotted up the stairs at the door of the bank, and went to work overtime.
Seeing Chi Wan enter the building, Gu Linan turned the car and left.
He didn't want to arrive early for a minute at the dinner with Yohji Yamamoto, so he drove to a quiet shaded spot, parked his car, smoked, and drove to the hotel unhurriedly until the time was almost up.
The person in charge of many domestic enterprises, there are Japanese people who come to talk about cooperation, usually book a Japanese restaurant, today when Yohji Yamamoto made an appointment, Gu Linan asked Cheng Yu to book a Chinese restaurant.
It's normal to eat Japanese food, but eating Japanese food in China with a Japanese person feels like it touches a certain nerve, and it feels unpleasant.
This Chinese restaurant is one of the best in City A, and business elites and political leaders often love to come here for gatherings.
Yohji Yamamoto and his assistant sat behind the screen, their faces were not very good, and when they came to eat in this kind of restaurant with Chinese characteristics, they felt as if they had been slapped in the face.
"This Gu Linan, one day I will make him kneel on the ground and beg me!" Yamamoto clenched his fists, how gloomy his eyes were when he said this, and how humiliated his heart was.
The assistant stood with his head bowed and bent over, not daring to say a word.
Ten minutes have passed, and Gu Linan has not yet come.
Gu Linan's business skills Yamamoto knows, but he doesn't know what kind of person he is. If Gu Linan is not punctual, it is normal to be late this time. But Yamamoto felt that he was deliberately going to be late.
At half past seven, Gu Linan was late.
Yamamoto put away the previous face that was blue from waiting for a long time, stood up and bowed respectfully to Gu Linan, "Gu Sang, it's an honor to meet you again." β
Gu Linan had a smile on his face, casually hung his coat on the hanger next to the screen, and squinted at Yamamoto, who was a whole head shorter than himself, "The last time we met was more than a year ago, I thought that Mr. Yamamoto might grow a little taller." β
Yamamoto's face froze with a smile, and then he laughed, "Gu Sang is really humorous. β
Gu Linan smiled deeply, pulled a chair and sat down, and casually pulled up the sleeves of his shirt, "The stomach of the Chinese is not good, unlike your neon country, everyone's stomach is beaten with iron, and they have been drinking ice water for many yearsββ"
His chin picked up at the sign on the table, and Yamamoto looked over, and there was a price list of various types of tea on the sign, "Mr. Yamamoto, a pot from West Lake Longjing?"
Feeling the other party's unconcealed sense of national superiority, Yohji Yamamoto tried his best to suppress the anger in his heart, and had to laugh with him, "I have long heard that Chinese tea is the quintessence of the country, and West Lake Longjing is the best of the best, Gu Sang is willing to share good tea with Zaixia, which is an honor in the next." β
"Huh. β
Glancing at the other party's hypocritical face, Gu Linan pressed the button and called the waiter.
Gu Linan ordered food completely according to his own preferences.
Yohji Yamamoto didn't feel that he was being treated hospitably as a guest from afar, and Gu Linan didn't ask him for his opinion during the ordering process, which was terrible.
After Gu Linan finished ordering and the waiter left, Yohji Yamamoto got to the point, "Gu Sang, presumably your brother, another Gu Sang, has already made my meaning clear to you." β
Gu Linan lowered his head and squinted his eyes and lit a cigarette, the bull's head was not in the horse's mouth, "I went to find my wife before I came, and then I drank a cup of coffee on the way." β
"......" Yohji Yamamoto put up with him.
"I had the pleasure of meeting Gu Sang's wife in a magazine, and she was a very beautiful woman. β
"My wife is beautiful, isn't she?"
"Yes, Gu Sang is a lucky man?"
"If you asked Gu Weiche to bring it to me, he brought it, but I'm very sorry, at present, Jingshi Group has no overseas financing plan for the time being. β
ββ¦β¦β
This person's thinking was too jumpy, and Yohji Yamamoto couldn't keep up a little, but after a few seconds, he reacted, wiping his sweat with a square towel in his hand, "Gu Sang, we can talk in detail later." β
Gu Linan rested one arm on the table, tilted his head and squinted his eyes to swallow the clouds and mist, and Yamamoto observed his expression through the thick white smoke. To be exact, Gu Linan hardly had any special expression.
"I won the movement battle in Switzerland, and Mr. Yamamoto must hate me, oh?"
Gu Linan frowned, lowering his eyes and lighting cigarette ash.
Yohji Yamamoto pretended to laugh heartily, "You Chinese have a saying, shopping malls are like battlefields, and victory and defeat are common things in soldiers. The fact that the Jingshi Group was able to defeat the Yamamoto Group to get a new type of movement can only show that the Yamamoto Group is lacking in many aspects, and I should learn from Gu Sanduo. β
Gu Linan puffed a cigarette at him in the air, smiling rather than smiling, "Mr. Yamamoto is serious, do you really think so?"
Yohji Yamamoto looked sincere, "Of course. β
Gu Linan raised his eyebrows, "Oh, in that case, what ability do you have to invest in my Jingshi Group?"
ββ¦β¦β
Yohji Yamamoto's upright waist froze suddenly.
In the next second, Gu Linan put away his smile, his face was only serious, and his eyes were cold, "Several large enterprises in China accept foreign capital for the sake of profit, and I can clearly tell you that Jingshi Group does not need it." Whether it is the Yamamoto Group or the Schneider family, if they want to get a piece of the Vandenheede pie, I put my words here, there is no possibility. β
Seeing that Yohji Yamamoto's face was gentle and gradually disappearing, and then replaced with a shrewd and cunning face of a businessman, Gu Linan pressed the cigarette butt in his hand into the ashtray, "I guess you have also communicated with Schneider's senior management, my surname is Gu, it's not easy to mess with, their family has been planted in my hands for 11 years, what that financial turmoil means to them, they can't forget it so quickly." β
The restaurant has an elegant atmosphere, even if it is not in a private room, and the surroundings are very quiet.
In this confrontation, Gu Linan obviously has the upper hand, but Yohji Yamamoto is not a coward who is powerless, he can climb up from the entire Yamamoto family step by step on the shoulders of others to sit in the position of the current helmsman, in addition to having brains, he also has inextricable connections behind him.
He sneered and said to Gu Linan, "Gu Sang, the deals I want to facilitate are almost foolproof. I want to take a stake in Jingshi Group, and I won't easily dismiss this idea. β
Gu Linan nodded.
Gu Linan said to him, "But you still can't compete with me in the end with the new movement, and you still lose." β
Last year, the new movement was won by the Jingshi Group, which directly led to the collapse of the Yamamoto Group's watch turnover throughout the year, which was a shame for Yamamoto, and he stared at Gu Linan with cold eyes, "The Jingshi Group cannot be the opponent of the Yamamoto Group and the Schneider family, if we join forces, we will let it fall into the place of death at any time." β
Gu Li Nanguaner, "We might as well try." β
Yamamoto stood up and was leaving, after all, there was no point in continuing this negotiation.
Gu Linan lit a cigarette again and called out to him, "The dishes are all ordered, Mr. Yamamoto won't eat them before leaving?" Chinese food is more hearty and delicious than Japanese food. β
Yamamoto gritted his teeth.
The assistant whispered a few words in his ear.
This is a matter of face, and it has spread out, to put it mildly, Yohji Yamamoto was so angry that he was so angry by Gu Linan's words that he threw his face and left, which was embarrassing.
Yohji Yamamoto sat down again, and the waiters came over one after another to deliver the food.
Gu Linan sandwiched a piece of fish meat for himself, and didn't look at the man who had just picked up the chopsticks on the other side, "I don't know where you got your confidence, I really thought I could defeat Jingshi." β
Yohji Yamamoto sandwiched a lump of chicken, "Countless consortia behind the Schneider family are supporting!"
Gu Linan hooked his lips, "The surname Gu will also have countless consortia behind it, as long as I speak." β
ββ¦β¦β
Yohji Yamamoto pursed his lips, and the chicken in the bowl was in no mood to eat. He looked at Gu Linan.
"Mr. Yamamoto, you're a defeated man. β
ββ¦β¦β
That day, when Yohji Yamamoto left in a hurry, Gu Linan was eating that refreshing plate of cold fungus. He didn't even raise his head, and when Yohji Yamamoto passed by him, he left a meaningful sentence, "Gu Sang, we will meet later." β
β¦β¦
When Chi Wan came home from work, it was already ten o'clock in the evening.
Before the car drove into the garage, she saw the lights on the master bedroom on the second floor, and it was Gu Linan who came back.
In a good mood, he parked the car and trotted all the way into the house, went upstairs, and ran on his feet, shouting in his mouth, "Gu Linan!"
