Chapter 658: 10,000 Years Is Too Long
"Actually, didn't you say the answer, I'm a genius! Since I'm a genius, I must be different from ordinary people like you, what's so strange about this? Maybe I'll do even stranger things in the future, and when the time comes, don't shoot me, at least ask me before you fight." "Hong Tao is playing the old fairy with the second master in the capital, but when he comes here, he talks to Sergei about the old fairy or something, it must be useless, but this can't help him, he changed to play genius again, and this argument is more tenable, now he is Hong Taostan, this is the evidence of genius.
"If I had seen you a few years earlier, do you know what your fate would be?" Sergei asked with a smirk as he glanced at Hong Tao.
"It's not going to torture me, is it?" Although Hong Tao and Sergei hadn't met a few times in total, he suddenly summed up a pattern of his expression, that is, when he was happy, he would smile crookedly, but his mouth was usually not crooked at all.
"Almost, I'll arrest you and send you to a training base, it's not the kind of base that Yuria goes to, she is there to train civilians, and the place you are going to is to train intelligence officers. Sergei crooked his mouth and laughed even harder, not knowing what he was thinking about in his head that he found interesting to make him so proud.
"Do I have the potential to be a spy?" Hong Tao's curiosity came again, he thought that it would be fun to be a spy...... 007, Bourne are all his favorite movie characters, not to mention the same as them, even if there is only one and a half, it is a heifer riding a wire. Ox x with lightning!
"No, no, no, to be exact. You're a genius at lying! I don't know exactly what you're lying for, but I'm sure. Your story about genius is 100% a lie, not a word is true. Don't worry friends, we're not talking, I'm not the officer you met, I'm just a small Canadian businessman, and we're still partners. Sergei was happy as he spoke, and then he noticed Hong Tao's gritted teeth, and quickly made up for it.
"Whatever genius you love, you can be a genius. A genius who lies is also a genius! Just now you said that you are a Canadian businessman? Have you already become a naturalized citizen?" Hong Tao didn't want to entangle with Sergei on this issue anymore, this grandson was too thief, and his psychological qualities were too good, and he couldn't take advantage of it in the slightest, and it would be bad for him to talk too much.
"It's a coincidence that I've just finished taking my vows just before Christmas, and if you had come a few days earlier, you would have been able to witness an important moment in my life. Sergei held the steering wheel with one hand, and with the other hand, he took out a dark blue book from his arms and slapped it on Hong Tao's hand.
"Damn! Du Nima has taken a Canadian passport! This can't be a fake, right?" Hong Tao took the Canadian passport and looked at it over and over for a long time. I can't tell the truth from the fake, even if I look at it for another year, it's in vain, where does he understand this.
"It seems that Yuria has betrayed me a lot, don't worry. This is what the Canadian government sent me, where are there so many fake things. By the way, how about Yuria. You're a good helper, isn't it? You see, I'm generally not cheating on my friends. I always say, don't mix me with my job. In fact, those who do our business are more sincere to our friends, because we rarely have friends...... "Sergei seems to want to make a name for himself today, and any topic can go around his character.
"The number of times we meet is not more than the fingers of one hand, so it is so easy to become friends? According to this principle, there should be no fewer friends of yours!" Hong Tao will not believe Sergei's words, whether it is true or false, he does not believe it, not that he does not want to believe it, but he does not dare to believe it. Other people are gullible, at most they are deceived of some money and partial feelings, and this guy will definitely not come for this, if he lies to you, it will be very thorough and simple, and it will never make it possible for you to turn over.
"Friends have nothing to do with the length of time, and it has nothing to do with the number of times they meet, in your Chinese words, it's a wonderful feeling......" Sergei saw that Hong Tao didn't believe what he said, and he was not surprised at all, and continued to talk to Hong Tao here, this time even the Chinese elements were brought out.
"Come on, you should learn Chinese with Nina, and it feels wonderful, where is this word in Chinese." Let's not waste time on this issue, the two of us are partners now, partners with a good personal relationship, we will talk about this matter later, there is still time, and this does not hinder the cooperation between us. You probably know all about me, shouldn't you tell me about you? Whether it's a partner or a friend, understanding each other comes first, right? I'm listening to your great achievements!" Hong Tao really didn't have any good way to deal with a person who was thicker than himself, but he didn't want to keep talking like this, so he simply changed the topic.
"I only have a very small construction company, all of whom are Russians, and there are more than 20 people, most of whom are not legally identifiable, and the business is barely maintained, mainly because I have insufficient funds, and most of them are invested in stocks. Speaking of which, I still have to ask for your opinion, can I now withdraw some of the funds from the stocks? Will these stocks still have a big increase?" Sergei did not talk nonsense this time, and summed up his achievements in one sentence for more than a year.
"Actually, I want to say that you should sell me all the stocks, but it's too despicable to do so, if you really want to do this, we won't be friends in the future, we won't even be partners. So I want to ask you, if you were to open a nightclub in Toronto, the luxurious kind, one of the best, would you be able to stand still? Hong Tao felt that what Sergei said might be true, Hong Tao had calculated for him before, his funds were indeed not enough, mainly because he was not alone, he also had a group of comrades-in-arms or colleagues to take care of, and these people could not be ignored, this is the basis for his comeback, if he wants to gain a foothold in a new place, it is useless to have money and no reliable people.
"You have talked to me about this in Hong Kong, and I have been preparing for it, and at present, it seems that with my strength alone, it will definitely not be possible. The forces in this city are so complex that it's like a United Nations. Locals, blacks, Russians, Vietnamese, Indians, Greeks, Italians, Iranians, Japanese, Koreans, oh my God, I'm almost too late. By the way, there are also you Chinese, they alone are divided into several factions, and I still haven't figured out who is who, although this is a good thing, and there won't be much power, but I can't even afford to provoke a small force at present, and it will take at least three to five years for this situation to change. As soon as Sergei heard the word nightclub, the corners of his mouth were no longer crooked, and his stomach was full of bitterness.
"Three or five years? That's too slow...... In addition to developing slowly by yourself, is there a faster way for you, even if you spend some more money, but you can't take too many risks, you know, I'm a timid person, and I'm not strong enough here!"
"The only way to do this is to work with the Russians here, I contribute most of the money, and they protect me. But it's not for nothing, my compatriots don't have a small appetite, at least give them sixty percent of the profits. Sergey opened the windows and let the cold air blow in a little to dissipate the fog from the windshield. The snow outside was getting heavier and heavier, there was hardly a pedestrian to be seen on the street, not even the street could be seen clearly, Hong Tao didn't know where the car was going, he couldn't tell the difference between the southeast and the northwest, and there was chaos between heaven and earth.
"Sixty percent! Turnover or profit?" Hong Tao was surprised by this number.
"Profit, 60% of net profit. More than half of this money goes to the unions and politicians, and you have to bribe the local police, and you can't do without these people to open a nightclub, otherwise you won't even make a dime. "Sergei seems to have really done his homework and knows the situation here quite well.
"Can you hold the control in your hands? Don't let us toss for a long time, and finally become someone else's money-making tool. Hong Tao's question hurts people's self-esteem, but now is not the time to save face, and he believes that Sergei can understand what he means.
“…… I'm really not absolutely sure about this, I need time, at least a year. If I can survive this time, I will slowly get back what I lost in the future, and if I can't survive this time, the result is difficult to say. Sergei really didn't make a big deal out of it, and he was very conservative and pragmatic.
"How much investment does it take to operate?" Hong Tao didn't want to hear how much it would cost, even if Sergei was talking nonsense, he didn't have a place to check it, and if he listened, he didn't listen.
"The biggest, the most luxurious?" Sergei asked.
"The nightlife here is so boring, if it doesn't snow, they won't come out?" Hong Tao came to Toronto in his previous life, and it was okay at that time, and there were some entertainment venues. However, compared with China, it can't even compare with a fourth-tier city, and even some small cities in the United States. No wonder even Canadians say that the United States is urban and Canada is rural. But if you compare the entertainment industry alone, in a few years, the United States will be rural, and China will be urban.
"Almost, there will be more drunkards, and there are only two or three bars here that are open at night, or striptease bars. Sergei was obviously helpless, he was alone, had no wife or children, and was in the prime of life, so he couldn't fill the bar every night. (To be continued......) R1292
