Chapter 58: Meet Liu Ke Again

Ye Shikun walks into the lobby lounge of the Ritz-Carlton.

Different from the lobby bar of a typical five-star hotel, the Ritz's Lobby Lounge is more enclosed and more like an intimate club with low-key luxury, with warm dΓ©cor and floral fabric sofas, typical of the English manor style.

In fact, the English afternoon tea here is also known as the most authentic in the capital.

Looking around, I saw Liu Ke sitting on a sofa at a glance, and there was a middle-aged woman sitting next to him, with exquisite makeup and excellent temperament.

Ye Shikun walked over.

When Liu Ke saw him, he got up and shook hands with him with a smile: "Lao Ye, are you here?" Let me introduce you, this is Xiao Yun Xiao, the general manager of Jardine Entertainment Company. Half of your confidante's contract is with her. ”

Ye Shikun smiled and shook hands with Xiao Yun: "Mr. Xiao, I am glad to meet." ”

Xiao Yun, the boss of an entertainment company, is a person who has been rolling in the scene for many years, and has heard Ye Shikun's identity from Liu Ke before, and at this moment he is smiling, and his tone is respectful and enthusiastic: "Ye Gongzi, hello! I have heard of your name for a long time, and I have never had the opportunity to get acquainted with you, and today I am honored to take advantage of Ke Shao's light!"

The three of them were seated.

Liu Ke said casually to Xiao Yun: "Xiao Yun, Lao Ye is here, you can sign the agreement for him, you are done, you go and do your work, we have to talk about other things." ”

Although Xiao Yun is the owner of an entertainment company, she is also full of majesty in front of ordinary starlets, but in essence, she is just a disciple of the Liu family, one of the many vassal small companies, and Liu Ke's attitude towards her naturally does not mean much respect.

Then he turned his head and explained to Ye Shikun: "Xiao Yun made an appointment with a Hong Kong director, and she happened to be here to talk about things today, so I asked her to take Lin Qinglian's contract and transfer it directly to you." I don't really like their afternoon tea here, so we'll go to the Davidoff Club next door, where I'll have a few boxes of good cigars, and we'll talk slowly. ”

Xiao Yun took out two documents from her bag and put them in front of Ye Shikun.

"Ye Gongzi, this is Qinglian's contract, this is the transfer agreement, transfer the contract to your name for free, you can sign it directly. ”

Ye Shikun didn't expect Liu Ke to be so happy.

He glanced at Liu Ke, and suddenly felt that this kid was much more pleasing to the eye than the last time he saw him.

"Mr. Liu, that ...... , I'll accept this favor, thank you!"

"Hey, what is this matter, a trivial matter, Lao Ye, I am a brother when you are a brother, and I sincerely want to cooperate with you more, this is a meeting gift. Liu Ke said with a smile.

Ye Shikun smiled, didn't say anything more, took out a pen, and signed his name on the transfer agreement.

For Ye Shikun and Liu Ke, compared to what they are going to talk about next, Lin Qinglian's contract is indeed just a trivial matter.

Although Ye Shikun does not agree with Liu Ke's style of doing things, he has to admit that Liu Ke, as a second-generation person standing at the top of the circle, is indeed in line with his identity.

Family background is one thing, the second generation can come out to do things, and even take over most of the authority of the family, mixing in the social arena, everyone is not simple.

Xiao Yun is very eye-catching, and after Ye Shikun finished signing, she smiled charmingly: "I'm really happy for Qinglian, in the future, she will open her own studio, and with Ye Gongzi's help, she will definitely develop better and better...... , Ke Shao, Ye Gongzi, then you talk about things, I'll go first. ”

Liu Ke waved his hand: "Go ahead." ”

Ye Shikun also smiled and said politely: "Thank you, Mr. Xiao, goodbye." ”

Seeing Xiao Yun get up and leave, Liu Ke smiled at Ye Shikun and said, "How about it?

Ye Shikun nodded: "Okay"

The two also got up, walked out of the lobby lounge, and walked into the Davidoff Club next door.

………………

Known as the "Rolls-Royce of cigars", Davidoff cigars are a well-known brand of high-end cigars.

The Davidoff brand is based in Geneva, Switzerland, and is produced in a Cuban factory, the same place as Cohiba cigars, which once accounted for the majority of the factory's cigar production. The classic Davidoff NO.1, NO.2 and Ambassadrice, famous all over the world for their white cigar ring wraps.

Since 1991, all Davidoff cigars have been produced in Dominica.

All Davidoff cigars are built to the strictest quality standards, and the tobacco of each cigar is cultivated according to the oldest methods, in the most fertile soils, and in the most ideal climatic conditions, resulting in a unique and rich Davidoff aroma that is soft and persistent.

The Davidoff Clubhouse, located on the first floor of The Ritz-Carlton, is the global flagship store of the Odinger Davidoff Group and is also known as the best cigar club in Asia.

Walking into the Davidoff Clubhouse, the beautiful Ukrainian staff greeted her with a smile, and the giant cigar behind her was particularly eye-catching: this 2050 mm long and 20 kg cigar was made from 2,500 Davidoff No.2 tobacco leaves, and it took two Dominican smokers more than 300 hours to make it, making it the second largest cigar in the world.

Because they needed to discuss important matters and were inconvenient to be in a more public place, the two came to the private room of Zino on the second basement floor.

The four private dining rooms in the Davidoff Clubhouse are named after Avo, Zino Platinum, Winston Churchill and Davidoff, with four different cigar lines.

Liu Ke kept a very rare box of Davidoff Chateau Margaux cigars here, which surprised Ye Shikun.

In 1969, Davidoff was still made in Cuba and launched a range of cigars named directly after the four Grand Cru and the only Grand Cru in Bordeaux's 1855 classification system, including Lafite, Latour, Margaux, Hauberwang and Igan (later Mouton).

In August 1989, Davidoff publicly burned 100,000 cigars (quite overbearing), broke with the Cuban government, and later announced that the production line in Cuba was suspended.

Liu Ke's box of cigars was produced in 1986 and comes in a pack of 25.

Counting it, it has been preserved for 23 years!

"Well, this is my treasure, I bought it at an auction in Europe two years ago, and I have only drawn less than ten of them so far, and if it weren't for you today, I would be reluctant to take it out,...... How about it, it's enough buddy, right?" Liu Ke looked at Ye Shikun's surprised expression, and couldn't help but say a little proudly.

Ye Shikun shook his head in admiration and said with a smile: "This is really out of print, Lao Liu, you have a heart!" Liu Ke repeatedly showed favor, Ye Shikun was not good at rejecting people thousands of miles away, and the title was changed from Mr. Liu to Lao Liu.

"I still understand cigars, but I don't know as much as you do, what do you think is a good wine to go with?"

Ye Shikun smiled and said: "Since it is a Margaux cigar, of course it is a Margaux of the same year!"

The service staff went to fetch the wine, and Ye Shikun and the two each picked up a cigar, carefully cut the edge with a cigar scissor, lit the fire, and preheated.

Then, after taking a deep inhale, focus on the cigar in front of you and watch the smoke slowly swirl and dissipate in the air......

Taste, enjoy, immerse.

At this moment, there seems to be an inexplicable tacit understanding between men.

It's the best atmosphere for conversation.

"Lao Liu, I like to say it bluntly, since you treat me as a friend, of course I am willing to cooperate with you, but, first of all, I want to state that I will never engage in the set of playing capital in the stock market, and you had better not have any expectations in this regard. Ye Shikun said lightly.

"Since I returned to Yuanfeng, Yuanfeng's share price has risen by 20% in recent times, I believe you have also seen, next, Yuanfeng will have a series of reform measures, I believe that the future Yuanfeng's stock price will never be the current price, there is still a lot of room to rise......"

Ye Shikun looked at Liu Ke and said seriously: "As a shareholder, you can fully enjoy the benefits brought by Yuanfeng's growth and development, why do you have to do so many things?"

Seeing that Liu Ke wanted to speak, he raised his hand to interrupt and continued: "I know, your business philosophy is different from mine, it doesn't matter, everyone has their own style, respect each other." Although I don't agree with your previous cooperation concept, but last time you said that you are more interested in the financial holding group that I proposed, I think we have the opportunity to cooperate......

Liu Ke also spoke, he reversed the flirtatious smile on his usual face, and his face was also very serious: "Lao Ye, since you say so, I will also dig out my heart with you...... You are different from me, I am not interested in industry, I can do whatever I want to make money quickly, I like to play with capital and make quick ......money, and I like to play with capital and make quick money. But you are a person with the heart and ideals to do business, in the words of my old man, you have the potential to be an entrepreneur. It's because I can't do it myself, so I admire it!"

"To be honest, the last time I talked to you, buddy, I thought the attitude was already very good, and I gave you enough face, but you poured it well, spit out a mouthful of wine on the napkin, turned around and left, it's too bad to give face to buddy!" Liu Ke said this, still a little indignant.

"If it weren't for buddy's heart, this is the case, and I'm not done with you!"

"But just like this, I can see that you Lao Ye is a practical person, which is different from what I thought before!" Liu Ke laughed.

"I love working with people who do real things!"

"Tell me, your financial holding group, how can we cooperate?"
