Chapter 264: Family Banquet

Zheng Xudong and Sean came to the Lanting restaurant near Songshan Road, Zheng Xudong asked Tang Luoyong to take out a bottle of Feitian Moutai from the trunk, and when he entered this old store, Sean took out his camera instead to take pictures, and the decorations and furnishings here basically remained the same as they were more than 30 years ago, so these are more attractive to Sean.

"When you arrive in Huaxia, I invite you to drink Moutai, let's drink a bottle, and then you go back to rest and sleep. Zheng Xudong opened Moutai and poured it into two tempered cups of four taels.

Lanting Restaurant is still those dishes, Zheng Xudong ordered chicken sauce bones, fermented bean curd water spinach, salt and pepper strips, noodles and yellow croaker, braised pork, sauce duck, braised pomfret, fried shrimp, and then six drawers of crab roe buns and six drawers of raw fried, although these are ordered, but you still have to eat and see, he and Tang Luoyong can eat them, if it is not enough, order again.

After these dishes came up, Sean's eyes never left these dishes again, and the chopsticks moved quickly, while eating the dishes, he drank Moutai, and kept saying in his mouth: "VERY GOOD! GREAT! OH MY GOD!, PORK CAN BE MADE SO DELICIOUS!" I SAW SEAN'S CHOPSTICKS CONSTANTLY ATTACKING THE BRAISED PORK.

Almost half of the dishes on the table went into Sean's stomach, and when he finally ate the crab roe buns, he really couldn't eat them, and he still regretted why he didn't save some stomach just now. After a meal, Sean was deeply satisfied, Zheng Xudong returned to the Yan Family Garden Villa with him, took him on a brief tour of the villa, and showed him his room.

After looking at the villa, Sean said, "This villa is not cheap!"

Zheng Xudong roughly calculated in his heart, "A little more than sixty million." ”

When Sean heard it, he said, "It's okay, it's not expensive, it's cheap." ”

"Dollars!" Zheng Xudong added, knowing that he had misunderstood.

That's more expensive than a house in New York and Beverly Hills, California. Sean sighed.

"So, you take a shower, change your clothes, and you'll be at home here, and then I'll be waiting for you outside the parasol on the first floor, and I'll let you take a look at it for me." With that, he went out of the room.

He placed black tea and cigars under the parasol outside the first floor of the villa, waiting for Sean to come over.

It took more than twenty minutes for Sean to come to the parasol and sit next to him, open the cigar box and take out a cigar to light it, and then took a sip of Zhengshan Xiaozhong black tea, "Adong, you will still enjoy life! ”

"It was built by a German during World War II, the house was almost seventy years old, and it had just been renovated by the previous owner when I bought it. So what you see is a new house that has been renovated. Zheng Xudong took a puff on his cigar and said, "I found that I liked the taste of cigars more and more, and I felt very choked when I smoked cigarettes." ”

"You're going to love it, some people smoke cigars for the rest of their lives. The rest of the smoke simply doesn't pay attention. By the way, how do you store your cigars, I know it's very difficult to preserve, and it has to be constant in temperature and humidity. Your cigars are the best I've ever seen, tell me the secret, I have some cigars too. Sean asked, smoking a cigar intoxicatingly.

How could Zheng Xudong tell him that these cigars were placed in a space, where even time did not exist, let alone temperature and humidity. But since he asked, he said that he kept it in a special incubator. Sean didn't ask again when he heard this.

At this time, Zheng Xudong picked up a black briefcase on the side of the chair, took out the US Treasury bonds he had hidden in the Nazis, and handed them to Sean for him to help see.

Sean took the pile of pale green paper that Zheng Xudong handed him that had obviously been slightly yellowed for some time, he took it in his hand and looked at it, and immediately looked at it with wide eyes, "Oh my God, I can't believe it, is this the Treasury bond issued by the United States during World War II?" God, I've only heard of this thing, but I've never seen it, and I didn't expect to see it with you today." ”

"Can this thing be exchanged for money now?" Zheng Xudong was most concerned about this issue.

Sean looked at him with incredulous eyes and said, "Why are you asking this question, shouldn't you ask him how much he's worth now?"

Zheng Xudong nodded helplessly and said: "Sean, I won't explain to you the attitude of our country's banks to the deposits of sixty years ago, it will drive you crazy, if you want to complain, you can talk about it at night." ”

"Okay, your national system is different from ours, but I want to tell you, this is the US government guarantee, so that the ten major banks in the United States jointly issued the US Treasury bonds, not to mention the credit, leverage, if anyone dares not to give exchange, I will sue them for the bankruptcy of these issuing banks. Sean said, patting his chest.

Zheng Xudong was relieved when he heard him say this, "Then which banks participated in the issuance of these treasury bonds back then, and which one should I go to exchange them?"

Sean thought for a moment and said, "I can't remember exactly which ten, but these must have: 1 Citigroup, Inc., 2 J.P. Morgan Chase & Co.**** Bank, 3 Bank of America Corporation, 4 Wells Fargo & Company, 5 U.S. Bancorp, 6 SunTrust." Banks, Inc. ”

Zheng Xudong said with some disappointment after hearing this: "It seems that I have to go to the United States to redeem it." ”

When Sean heard this, he said, "No, it can also be exchanged in the national branches of these banks." ”

"But these banks don't have branches in our country!" Zheng Xudong said to him.

"Why not, the first city bank has a branch in your magic capital, it's very famous. Sean stared at him in surprise, "By the way, this bank is called Citibank in your country." ”

Zheng Xudong suddenly realized when he heard what Sean said, "Citibank entered China in the late Qing Dynasty, and people at that time called their bank Citibank when they saw the Stars and Stripes of the United States, and this name has been used to this day." ”

"I have an important investment to discuss tomorrow, and you and I will go to Citibank the day after tomorrow to exchange these treasury bonds." Zheng Xudong said.

"By the way, where did you find these things, and how many?" asked Sean curiously.

Zheng Xudong thought for a moment and said, "This thing was found in an inconspicuous wall mezzanine of this villa, how many?" he raised the index finger of his right hand to Sean.

"Ten million dollars, which is not a lot, is now worth the money of your villa, which means that your villa is not spent in vain. Speaking of this, he saw Zheng Xudong looking at him expressionlessly, still holding on to his index finger. "Adong, you won't say it's 100 million!?" Seeing Zheng Xudong nodded, Sean slapped the table with his hand and stood up suddenly, knocked down the chair behind him, and yelled: "SHIT!

Tang Luoyong in the distance couldn't understand English, and when he saw the American who came at noon, he yelled at his boss, so he walked this way, Zheng Xudong saw it and quickly said to him: "We're fine, you go get busy!"

Sean also knew that he had lost his temper just now, and quickly helped up the chair behind him, "Your driver was a soldier, right?"

"Well, he also works part-time as my bodyguard! I saw that you were a little emotional just now, maybe you misunderstood. Zheng Xudong said with a smile.

Sean made an OK gesture at Tang Luoyong in the distance, this is an international sign language, Tang Luoyong, a special soldier, can of course understand, and as soon as he saw that it was okay, he turned around and went back to wipe the car.

After Sean saw Tang Luoyong leaving, he said to Zheng Xudong: "I'm sure you must be God's illegitimate son." It's just so lucky. After saying that, Sean snorted.

Zheng Xudong said to him: "You have been on the plane for more than ten hours, and it is now the early morning time in the United States, hurry up and go to sleep, and introduce someone to you at night." ”

Sean was not polite, stood up and said, "I have to sleep for a while, and I drank some liquor at noon, and I am sleepy." Greet me at dinner time in the evening. With that, Sean walked to his room.

When Liu Yifei got off work in the evening, she came back with her mother Liu Xiaoli, knowing that there were American guests at home, the mother and son cooked together, and made six dishes, including stewed beans with pork ribs, roasted eggplant by my mother, spicy shredded pork, braised saury, these four dishes were made by Liu Xiaoli, he is a native of Harbin City, Northeast China, so the specialty dishes are basically Northeast cuisine, but they are indeed full of color, fragrance and taste, Liu Yifei made two dishes, one is tomato scrambled eggs, and the other is vegetable salad, which made her sweat. In the end, Tang Luoyong went to the kitchen to make a red stewed elbow, and then baked ten scallion pancakes to be done.

Zheng Xudong saw that it was already seven o'clock in the evening, and Sean had slept for more than five hours, so he went to beckon him to dinner.

During the banquet, he introduced Liu Yifei to Sean, "This is my girlfriend, Liu Yifei." ”

Sean glanced at Zheng Xudong meaningfully and shook Liu Yifei's hand, "Miss Liu, you are so beautiful!"

"Thank you!"

"This is my investment manager, Ms. Liu Xiaoli, and Yifei's mother. ”

"Ms. Liu, you are also beautiful. ”

"Thank you!"

"Okay, it's not an outsider, this is my full-time lawyer, Sean, he will often handle business by my side in the future, and slowly everyone will get acquainted with each other, eat!" Zheng Xudong picked up chopsticks and started to eat after introduction.

In the evening, instead of drinking white wine, I opened a bottle of red wine, one glass for each of the four.

During the banquet, Liu Xiaoli said to Zheng Xudong with some shame: "Adong, I contacted some chefs from high-end restaurants in the afternoon, but they all turned it off under the pretext that they were busy with work. Why don't we go out to eat tomorrow. ”

Zheng Xudong thought for a while, "It's better to eat at home, and I'll contact the chef about it." After speaking, he took out his mobile phone, dialed a phone number, and soon the phone was answered.

"Boss Chen, I have something I want to ask someone to help with!"
