Chapter 813: A Special Negotiation Location (1120 Monthly Pass Plus Update)
"Today's reward for you, don't you love lobster, there's Redlobster, right on Times Square, we can walk over. But you have to go to the shower and change your clothes first, look, I even bought you clothes!" Ah Shan said as she pulled Hong Tao into the clothing room, pushing open a cabinet door half the size of a wall, which was full of men's suits, casual clothes, shirts, and a row of shoes underneath, and the drawers on both sides were filled with socks, panties, ties and other gadgets.
"I feel so sorry...... These suits are enough for me to wear for a lifetime, you are going to deprive me of the right to buy new clothes in the future!" Although Hong Tao was saying strange things, his heart was very hot, and he took a bite of Ah Shan.
"Hmph! I want to be beautiful! Tomorrow I will order them, you can make do with these two sets first, and then invite me to dinner, you must wear formal clothes, don't fool me with jeans anymore, I like the way you wear formal clothes...... By the way, there are watches, cuffs, pens, and lighters to buy together!" Ah Shan is not satisfied, she has high requirements for wearing, she basically doesn't buy it if it is not a world famous brand, she was like this when she didn't know Hong Tao before, but now that she knows, she has to pay more attention.
"Why don't you just make me a big gold chain to hang around my neck, I was born to be a skewer in the alley, you have to let me pretend to be a century-old nobleman, idle...... Don't stare!I'll wear it!I'll change the horse!" As soon as Hong Tao said two words, Ah Shan's face was pulled down, and then Hong Tao had to immediately admit his mistake and actively correct it. The mood of the pregnant woman is very important, even if he is asked to kneel and serve every day, he can bear it, not just for one or two months, as soon as he closes his eyes, it will pass.
redlobster。 As the name suggests, it's a lobster shop. Specializing in North American lobsters shipped from Newfoundland, the cooking method is one word: grilled! grilled with a variety of spices and spices. There is no technique, eat it when it is cooked, it is stunned to pretend to be a big restaurant, and Nima has to queue up, and it is better to find a restaurant that sells crayfish in China than its craftsmanship.
Newfoundland lobsters living in the Arctic Ocean have tight and tender meat, and they are sweet and silky when roasted and eaten raw. I can't smell the fishy smell at all. Serve with scallops and smoldered flounder, and a bottle of white wine to accompany your meal.
After dinner, Ah Shan conjured two tickets like magic, Hong Tao didn't even see what the repertoire was, and began to praise Ah Shan for how good his taste was, and that he would definitely be Mozart's heir when he gave birth to a child in the future...... Anyway, she can say whatever she likes, and she has to be very subtle and sincere. However, Hong Tao has a problem that he is very puzzled about, Ah Shan has been with him since San Jose. It didn't take a few minutes in total, but when did she buy the tickets? Could it be that she still has a helper in New York?
"Fool! The concierge of the apartment can buy anything for you, as long as the tip is enough......" Ah Shan made Hong Tao's face flickering with the color of happiness, for Hong Tao's very low-level question. I didn't go too much sarcasm.
"Then I'll hire a porter to help me watch you, okay?" Hong Tao immediately thought of another wonderful use of the porter.
"Are you so unconfident?" Seeing that Hong Tao was jealous of himself, Ah Shan was even more beautiful.
"Not really...... Especially in this kind of place, how can I look like a hooligan?" Hong Tao and Ah Shan walked into the lobby of the theater. When I saw the well-dressed men, they smiled and nodded when they saw women. It's a bit of a weakness.
"You're the only one here, but I like hooligans!" Ah Shan took Hong Tao's arm. Almost hanging on him, he walked in with his head held high.
Fortunately, this time Ah Shan didn't watch anything like classical music or opera, but chose a song and dance drama. This kind of singing and dancing, fast-paced show finally made Hong Tao not fall asleep, and watched it completely, and then the two of them walked back along the street holding hands, and went to Bryan Park to have a look by the way. Although it was already more than 10 o'clock in the evening, there were still many people sitting on the lawn in the middle of the park, and the strange thing was that there seemed to be no mosquitoes here, Hong Tao and Ah Shan sat at the fountain for a short time, and they were not bitten once.
This time, Ah Shan was very reasonable, except for taking Hong Tao to the men's clothing store the next day to order two suits and buy some men's supplies, she didn't drag him to the store too much, and it was estimated that her own body couldn't keep up, so she didn't dare to walk too much. The two of them sleep until they wake up naturally every day, get tired of being in bed for a while, and then go to the park for a walk, bask in the sun, find a restaurant that Ah Shan likes to eat at night, and then go to watch various theatrical performances after dinner, plain but very warm, just like a couple of old husbands and wives who have been married for many years.
Ah Shan also discussed this issue with Hong Tao, she didn't understand why Hong Tao lacked the passion of young people, in her words, being with Hong Tao is really like being married for many years. Hong Tao couldn't answer this question, so he could only prevaricate with his personality, and promised that he would try to add some romance in the future, such as sending flowers, small gifts, and making a candlelight dinner or something.
On the fifth day after arriving in New York, Hong Tao finally got out of this warm but boring family life and got into a taxi to the World Trade Center in the south of Manhattan Island. He will meet up with his two lawyers in the hotel room here, and then go to the 97th floor to formally negotiate with Jon about the stake.
"That's what it looks like...... If it falls, it will fall, and the old will not go and the new will not come!" This is the first time in Hong Tao's two lives that he has seen the real World Trade Center twins. He had been to New York in his previous life, but at that time it was already a big pit, and he couldn't even see the ruins. For these two skyscrapers, Hong Tao felt that there was nothing to praise except for their height, the appearance was not at all stylish, and they were designed by Japanese designers, so he did not feel sorry for their fate, but a little gloating.
The World Trade Center is not just two tall buildings in the north and south twin stars, in fact, it is a complex of buildings, and there are several buildings around it, but they are not as tall as the twin stars. When the twin stars fell together, these buildings were not spared, and they were all shaken down, and the final fate was to tear them all down and build a new World Trade Center. Jon's office, located on the 97th floor of Building One, the North Tower, had been rented to a company that specialized in exporting food, and this time Jon had borrowed a temporary meeting room to meet Hongtao's outlandish request. He didn't know why Hong Tao had to negotiate here, but as a future owner, neither the food company nor Jon could refuse Hong Tao's proposal.
"You look much better than when we last met, but why do you still seem so anxious? I have read the plan you gave me, and I have also discussed it with my lawyer team, and I am basically satisfied, only some details need to be communicated again, are you afraid that I will take advantage of the fire to rob?"
"No, no, no, I really didn't think you'd take advantage of the fire, that's the banker's patent, or mine. It's just that my peers are more anxious than me, and they still have two weeks to meet my deadline, and I still know my peers very well......" Jon hugged Hong Tao passively, and then explained awkwardly how he was a vampire by other vampires.
"Two weeks is enough, don't worry about my friends, they will still be your peers in the future, so you'd better think more about how to get revenge on them in the future, this is Mr. Joseph, right?" Hong Tao didn't care about Jon complaining and crying poor in this way, he didn't plan to open his mouth widely, it wouldn't be good for him to force them into a hurry, this bank still has to be run by Jon, so it's better not to make too much trouble on the face.
"Hello, Mr. Hong...... Joseph Logan, welcome to New York, please. The gray-haired, wrinkled old man standing beside Jon reached out and took Hong Tao's hand that he took the initiative to reach, briefly introduced himself, and didn't say much. However, his slightly cloudy yellow-black eyes kept staring at Hong Tao.
Hong Tao was very interested in this Joseph, and he once wrote a letter to himself, detailing the current state of the bank, and later proposing his own construction. Most of them are about how to recover and restart business, and Hong Tao doesn't quite understand. But Yulia said that Joseph was a very professional banker, and that his proposal was very sound, and although it did not work quickly, it was very feasible. It can be seen that he is a practical financial management talent, and he is not good at rhetoric, nor does he make overly optimistic estimates.
Although he didn't understand Joseph's plan, Hong Tao also saw some other information from his letter. The seven-page letter, written entirely in pen, is beautifully written, coherent, and carefully worded. Chinese pay attention to reading words and reading people, and the same is true in foreign countries, and from a person's font, you can see the person's education process, his own personality and some of his habits.
Hong Tao also summed up Joseph, he felt that this old man was very well educated and strict, and his personality was very calm and honest, but he was too old-fashioned and a little out of step with the times, or he had his own moral standards, but they were slightly higher than the ordinary standards of this era, and he had no intention of changing them.
Hong Tao admires this kind of person very much, because Hong Tao's father, Professor Wang, belongs to this kind of person. They have their own pursuits, and although the road is very bumpy, they will not waver at all, always moving forward step by step, and as for what others think, they don't pay much attention to it. They will also do the necessary adaptation, but the things in their bones can't be changed until death, and they are stereotyped. (To be continued......)
