Chapter 866: The Value of the Medal
"Gifts?"
That's a problem, and the fact that Lehan and Nicholas are going to visit the old man has a pivotal position in the entire Hawaiian travel community.
"A small gift, too expensive will definitely not be accepted, but the right gift is really not easy to choose. Nicholas was a little embarrassed, the gifts were too expensive, and the stubborn old man might have hurried the two out of the house.
Visits are indispensable for the afternoon talks, and if the old man can help him say something, the negotiation will be much easier. "Francis, French-American, conservative?"
"That's right. Nicholas got the information, and Li Han pondered. "Maybe I have a way, Nicholas, the gift, I'll figure it out, you go about your business. ”
Nicholas nodded and walked out of the office with doubts, Li Han thought about it and returned to the study. Perhaps this gift will satisfy him. Li Han found a beautiful gift box and packed it with gifts.
Nicholas arranged a helicopter ride and Li Han took the family to the airport. "Dudu, listen to grandma and grandpa obediently, don't be naughty. Li Han squatted down and kissed Xiao Dudu, the little guy has not been away from his side for a long time since he was born. "Well, Daddy, you have to hurry home. Dudu put his arms around his father's neck and kissed him big.
"Okay, Dad promised Dudu, hurry up and finish the errands, and go home and take Dudu to play, okay?" The villain nodded vigorously, pulling his father and refusing to let go.
"Xiaohan, you and Jennifer will go back quickly after finishing their errands, I will go back here and clean up the house, to say, your dad is really, last time he said that he would buy a new house, really. Mom complained to my dad on the side.
"It's not that I can't live at home. ”
Li Pinghe took his son's money. It didn't work.
"Mom, Jennifer is here and stays at my house. ”
Li Mei said that the new house she bought last year was more than 160 square meters. It's been renovated for a while, and it's been less than two months since I moved in.
"How to live in your house, I'll go back and see, it's all your dad to blame for this. ”
Mom glanced at Li Pinghe.
"What's this, besides, the house was bought with Xiaohan's money. Li Mei said.
"Mom, sister. I think it's better to stay in a hotel. ”
Li Han whispered.
"There is no reason to live in a hotel, I will go back to pack up and stay at home. Zhang Xiuying said, not giving Li Han a chance to speak at all. "Okay, you're busy. Go ahead, we'll just wait here. ”
"Sister, brother-in-law, you have worked the road. ”
"Say, do it early, remember. Li Mei leaned over to her brother. "Jennifer's business, don't make Mom angry at that time. ”
"I'll take care of it. ”
"Alright, it's time for us to go. ”
Li Mei held Dudu in one hand. Holding the baby in one hand, Dudu takes two steps and turns back. "Dudu is good, Dad will go back with Mom after finishing his errands. The villain nodded vigorously. Tearful.
Li Han couldn't hold back the words and waved his hand, waiting for the group to walk in. Li Han came out and got into the car. "Nicholas, don't delay the meeting. ”
"It's still early, about half past ten. ”
Nicholas had the heart to ask Li Han what gifts he was going to prepare. Seeing that Li Han didn't want to speak, he didn't ask. "By car. "The driver drives. All the way out of the city, in front of a small farm.
"Place is really nice. ”
The farm is not big. But the surrounding scenery is very beautiful, the small farm is not as lively as the big farm, but it has more pastoral style. "Welcome, guests from afar. "Hello, we have an appointment with Mr. Francis. ”
"Yes, Mr. Francis is already waiting for the two of you, please come with me. ”
The housekeeper led Li Han and Nicholas around a few flower beds to a small wooden building, not far from which some vegetables were planted. "Well, Howell, these are the guests of the gentleman. ”
"Howell?"
The name of the dog, which is really unexpected, enters the small building, and the decoration is in the style of the eighteenth century European style. Francis, a tall and thin old man, nodded slightly. "Welcome, two young men want something, coffee, or whiskey. ”
"Thank you, coffee, Mr. Francis, allow me to introduce myself, I am Han, owner of the island of Pandora, this is Nicholas, the manager of the island of Pandora, and it is an honor to have your appointment. Li Han said.
"No, I'm meeting with a beautiful view, not you and him. Francis laughed, lighting a cigar. "Do you want a cigar?"
"Oh no, thank you. ”
Li Han was not interested in cigars, but Nicholas asked for one, lit it and took a puff. "What a wonderful taste, Mr. Francis, this must be a Cuban cigar. ”
"That's right. ”
Francis had a smile on his face, and as for Li Han, who seemed to be forgotten, he chatted with Nikola about cigars. "Cuban cigars are the best cigars, and there is no one. ”
Francisco said.
"Yes, I think so too, there is no better place to produce tobacco than Cuba, and only Cuba can produce such intoxicating cigars. Nicholas and Francis had a great time.
Li Han sat on the side and sipped his coffee, giving Nicholas a look. "Oh, I'm sorry, Francis, your insights are so admirable, I think I've been drawn to you, I'm sorry to forget the gift here. ”
"No, Nicholas, I'm glad you know a cigar in a surprising way. Francis took the gift box, set it aside casually, opened it a little, suddenly.
Francis sat up excitedly from the couch, holding the gift box, a little excited. "God, this is the Order of the Pioneers awarded by Napoleon III?"
An aluminum medal lay quietly in the box, and Francis shuddered and took it out, and sure enough, the medal had the royal mark on it. "That's right, how perfect, it's fascinating. ”
"Han, what is this?"
Nicholas asked in a whisper. "A medal of Napoleon III, I think he'd like it, wouldn't he?" said Li Han with a smile, putting down his coffee.
"Mr. Francis, it's great that you like it. ”
"This is an aluminum medal, a total of five zuò in recognition of the exploits of the pioneers, but unfortunately the Arnet, disappeared into the vast sea, and Napoleon III also became history. ”
All of Francis's people know this medal, and I have to talk about Francis's ancestor, an officer on the USS Arnett, who was lucky enough to get off the ship in Asia with a medal, but unfortunately it was not able to be sent to Vietnam, and eventually this medal became a collection of the Francis family.
Francis gradually calmed down, put away the medal, and handed it back to Li Han. "Thank you, I'm so happy to see it, I think a lot of people want to see it again. ”
"Francis, please take it. ”
"No, it's precious. Francis said.
Francis was resolute, Li Han had no choice, and suddenly Li Han paused. "Perhaps, there is a way, Mr. Francis, that I would exchange this medal for that plum vase. ”
"Plum bottle?"
"Han, you're a smart man, okay. Francis smiled and nodded.
The plum vase of the Cizhou kiln of the Song Dynasty may not be lower than the medal in terms of the value of the boutique, but for Francis, the meaning is completely different. Li Han got a plum bottle and was in a good mood, and Nicholas got a hint from Francis and was much more relaxed.
Sure enough, there were not too many obstacles to the afternoon talks, and there was a certain margin for the conditions on both sides, although the negotiations were short, they could not be completely decided, the general direction was set, and even Nicholas did not need to participate in the rest of the talks.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I'm going to have a cocktail party at the Hilton Hotel in the evening, and I hope you can attend. ”
Li Han smiled and said to the crowd, most of them said that they would participate, of course they apologized for something. For other things, Li Han completely handed over to Nicholas, did not return to the villa, and opened a suite in the hotel.
Unexpectedly, I met an acquaintance. "God, Han, this is a surprise. "Nikki, it's a pleasure to meet. "Li Han didn't expect to meet Nikki Hilton.
Han Lee invited Nikki to a cup of coffee at Cafe and learned that Nikki had come to Hawaii to take a photo shoot for the magazine. "Han, Pandora Island is so beautiful, and the firefly wedding is beautiful. ”
"Thank you. ”
Li Han smiled, he had always heard Pandora Island praise these days, and Li Han was already immune. "The island of Pandora is always welcome if you have time. ”
"Really. ”
"Of course. ”
Nikki is a nice woman, maybe her private life is a little complicated. "Oh, I'm sorry, I'm going to Europe tomorrow. "That's a shame. ”
Li Han chatted with Nikki for a while, and learned that Li Han had a drinking party at night without a female companion, and Nikki readily agreed to Li Han to be his female companion. Back in the room, Li Han called Lingna, Jennifer left for Europe early in the morning, and Lingna returned to Los Angeles.
"Nikki, that's a beautiful snake, Han, you can be careful. Lingna said with a smile when she learned that Nikki was Li Han's evening girlfriend.
"Lingna, Nikki is a nice girl, I think you know, I'm good friends with her. Li Han said helplessly, Lingna seems to be targeting herself a little recently.
This is really strange, Li Han diverted the topic. "Kemixing Town, is there any news?" "The disappearance of the giant python and the king of cancer surprised many people, of course, the ecology of Qiaonar Lake is also the focus of people's attention, and a number of ecological and environmental research organizations rushed to Kemixing. Lena said, finally asking with a little curiosity. "Han, the disappearance of pythons and cancers has something to do with Pandora, right?"
"Well, Lingna, I think you'll know about it sooner or later. ”
Li Han said. "That's right, pythons and cancers have been taken back to the farm by Pandora. "God, is this true?" Ling Na was only a little skeptical just now, but at this time, she was slightly surprised when she received an affirmative answer from Li Han.
"Yes, Pandora is building her labyrinth and needs them as janitors, though I think their appetite is a little too big. Li Han said.
"Pandora Labyrinth, I heard Pandora say, I really didn't expect it, she was really building it. "Lena thought it was fun, but she didn't expect it to be true. (To be continued)
