Chapter 203: Negotiation (1)
It was close to noon when Lu Shaohua arrived at the fruit store, and it was past twelve o'clock when he received the call, and when he hung up the phone, the first thing he did was to go to Weng Wende's restaurant to have a hard meal. People are iron, rice is steel, rice must be eaten, not to mention that Lu Shaohua had not eaten two meals yesterday, and only ate a little breakfast in the morning, and he was almost digested at this time.
If you want to go to dinner, you will naturally take him Li Shangkui and others, and a group of five people (plus Yang Yang and Li Wusheng's two bodyguards) will go towards Weng Wende's restaurant in a mighty way. I don't know why, as soon as I entered Weng Wende's restaurant, a strange waiter came over and said, "Mr. Lu, do you want to have lunch?" ”
Lu Shaohua felt a little strange, and his memory told him that he didn't know this waiter and had never seen it, but why did this waiter know that his surname was Lu. This can't be blamed on Lu Shaohua for not knowing, since the last time a waiter asked Lu Shaohua for money after eating, in order to avoid this kind of situation from happening again, the first thing the newly recruited waiters did in the future was to show them Lu Shaohua's photos, so that they (they) could remember Lu Shaohua's appearance.
On the surface, this matter seems a bit outrageous, but it is normal for Weng Wende, to put it mildly, if it weren't for the smuggling project that Lu Shaohua gave him, he would have today's net worth, it can be said that his wealth was created by Lu Shaohua's Ming Lu, and besides, the two families are world friends, and he can't always let a world friend let his employees collect money.
Although Lu Shaohua didn't know the waiter, he didn't dig deeper, just took a deep look at the waiter, and then reported the dishes he often ate, and then asked Li Shangkui what they wanted to eat. The latter all four shook their heads and said that whatever Lu Shaohua ate, they would eat.
Since the four of them said this, Lu Shaohua didn't say much, and directly asked the waiter to inform the kitchen to cook. "Oh! By the way, isn't your boss there? Just as the waiter walked in the direction of the kitchen, Lu Shaohua's voice sounded again.
"Well, in, in the office." The waiter nodded in response.
"Then you wait and tell him to come down for a while." Lu Shaohua waved his hand. When I came to Weng Wende's restaurant, I had to meet him as a 'living treasure', and it was really unreasonable to see him.
The waiter didn't speak, nodded with a smile, turned around and walked in the direction of the kitchen, as if he had gone to inform the kitchen before calling Weng Wende down.
…… Before the person arrives, the voice arrives first, this is the surname that Weng Wende has been practicing for a long time, and every time he sees Lu Shaohua, it is like this. "I said Xiaohua, you don't go up to the office to see me first, just sit here and wait for dinner."
Lu Shaohua rolled his eyes for a month, and said angrily. "Wait until I go to your office and come down to eat, I guess I'll starve to death."
"Dizzy! Is it that exaggerated? Weng Wende didn't care, his eyes swept over Li Shangkui and Zhang Qingyun, and nodded as a greeting, but when he saw Yang Yang and Li Wusheng, he stopped and stared at them for a while. I don't know why, these two people gave him the feeling of familiarity, the kind that was very familiar, desperately rummaging through his memory, and asked in a tone of uncertainty for a long time. "You two are Yang Yang and Li Wusheng?"
"Brother Wende, good." Yang Yang and Li Wusheng shouted in unison.
At that time, Yang Yang and Li Wusheng had eaten many times in Weng Wende's restaurant before they went to the Soviet Union, and naturally they knew their boss, who was also Lu Shaohua's worldly brother. And Weng Wende asked in an uncertain tone just now because he hadn't seen them for more than three years, and he wasn't sure for a while.
"Hey, hey! Just call me by name, I'm only a year older than you. "Weng Wende seems to be unimpressed by their addition of a brother after 'Wende'.
"Haha! One year older is also a big one! At this time, Li Shangkui, who usually rarely speaks, interjected.
"Hey, I said Shang Kui, don't get involved in this." Weng Wende was depressed for a while, he was the same age as Li Shangkui, so he was called by name. But obviously, Weng Wende didn't want to talk about this topic anymore, so the topic changed. "Did you order?"
"Hey! If you come in and don't order for so long, the cucumber dishes will be cold. Lu Shaohua said sarcastically.
Weng Wende gave Lu Shaohua a roll of his eyes, turned his head to Li Shangkui and the four of them and said, "Hehe! It's hard to get together once, how can you do it without two drinks! After speaking, he was about to turn around and call the waiter to get the wine, but before he could speak, he was interrupted by Li Shangkui.
"Wende, don't call it wine, we still have something to do after eating." Li Shangkui knew that Lu Shaohua was going to see the big man at two o'clock.
"Oh?" Weng Wende glanced at Li Shangkui with a question on his face, then turned his head to Lu Shaohua and asked, "Is there really something wrong in the afternoon?" ”
Lu Shaohua didn't speak, just nodded and said that there was really something, and then Weng Wende didn't say anything.
…… After a delicious lunch, it was already half past one o'clock, and Lu Shaohua was not in the mood to go to Weng Wende's office, so he only left the restaurant with the support of Li Shangkui and the other four people after chatting in the evening.
The temperature in the south is hot all year round, and even though it is March, which is just after the beginning of spring, the temperature is still a little hot. It was also the hot weather and the lack of people on the street that caused the Mercedes-Benz that Lu Shaohua was sitting in to move rapidly.
There was no way, Lu Shaohua didn't expect that it would take more than an hour to eat a meal, and after seeing that the time was half past one, his first sentence was to tell Zhang Qingyun to drive faster. He is not untrustworthy, not to mention that he is not an ordinary person, and he must show sincerity when negotiating with others, and being late will make people feel that you do not have much sincerity.
Speeding all the way along Shennan Avenue, the car finally stopped firmly at Zeng Aimin's house at 1:56. He didn't care if Li Shangkui got out of the car and opened the door for him, he opened the car door himself, sorted out his clothes, and then said in a not very loud tone: "Brother Shangkui just go in with us." ”
The meaning of these words couldn't be clearer, that is, Lu Shaohua only let Li Shangkui go in, and everyone else stayed in place.
...... "Ding Dong, Ding Dong." ”
Lu Shaohua rang the doorbell twice, and then took a step back and waited for the door to open.
Soon, the door really opened, and the person who opened the door, Lu Shaohua, knew that it was the cold man who followed Zeng Jianguo last time. The cold man saw that it was Lu Shaohua, without any expression on his face, nodded lightly, and then moved his gaze to Li Shangkui behind Lu Shaohua, his expression was solemn, and his whole body exuded an invisible momentum, an extremely vigilant momentum.
The cold man's whole body was tense and full of vigilance, how could Li Shangkui not be, no matter who he was, as long as there was a threat to Lu Shaohua's personal safety, he would be vigilant, which was another instinctive reaction.
Seeing the two of them like this, Lu Shaohua shook a wry smile, pointed at Li Shangkui and said, "He is a retired soldier, don't be so nervous." ”
The cold man is the identity of the special forces Lu Shaohua has already guessed it, and Li Shangkui is a former soldier, the soldier is a family, Lu Shaohua said this to tell the cold man that Li Shangkui is not a dangerous person, you can relax.
Sure enough, hearing Lu Shaohua's words, the cold man relaxed, but he still did not relax his vigilance, and his eyes never left Li Shangkui's body for a moment, opened the door completely, and staggered his body to let Lu Shaohua in.
Li Shangkui is different, he doesn't care whether the other party is a soldier or not, what he cares about is Lu Shaohua's personal safety. In his heart, Chen Guobang is his commander, and the tasks assigned to him by Chen Guobang must be resolutely carried out, and there is no room for sloppiness.
Walking into the hall, Zeng Jianguo was sitting in the square of the chair, and next to him sat an old man wearing a Mao suit, with a Chinese character face, half-white hair, sharp eyes, and a resolute face, who was about the same age as Zeng Jianguo. On the other side of the sofa sat two elderly people with glasses, wrinkled faces, and wisdom in their eyes, without Lu Shaohua's guess, these two were experts, and the one sitting with Zeng Jianguo should be the leader of a certain army.
Seeing Lu Shaohua and Li Shangkui coming in, everyone who was originally chatting about something stopped, Zeng Jianguo nodded at Lu Shaohua with a smile, and then motioned for Lu Shaohua to sit down on a separate sofa.
And the old man sitting with Zeng Jianguo glanced at Lu Shaohua and stared at Li Shangkui standing behind Lu Shaohua with deep meaning, as a perennial living in the army, how could he not see that Li Shangkui had the temperament of a soldier, and he still had the temperament of a special soldier.
Lu Shaohua's identity is different now, his mentality has changed a lot, even if he sees a high-ranking person, he will not appear a trace of timidity, because he doesn't need to be afraid, he has the strength and doesn't need to be afraid, not to mention that he is the automatic party today, so there is no need to be timid. Lu Shaohua calmly sat down on a separate sofa, and Li Shangkui quickly stood behind him, his whole body muscles tensed, ready to deal with unexpected situations that could happen at any time.
After Lu Shaohua sat down, Zeng Jianguo, as the 'middleman' and owner of the house this time, took the lead in speaking. "Xiaohua, you can guess the identity of this old immortal without my introduction, I won't say anything more, let's go straight to the topic."
Don't forget that Zeng Jianguo once fought with a gun, and he is a thorough soldier, and when he encounters serious things, the surname of the soldier is fully displayed, without dragging mud and water, nor introducing the identities of both parties, and directly cutting to the topic.
What Lu Shaohua cares about is not knowing the other party, but whether this deal can be successful, since Zeng Jianguo said that he has directly entered the topic, Lu Shaohua has no objection, and said. "Well, let's get straight to the point, but we'll have to wait a while."
After speaking, Lu Shaohua turned his head, beckoned Li Shangkui to pull his ears over, and muttered a few words in his ear, then Li Shangkui nodded, turned around and walked out of the door.
No one knew what Lu Shaohua meant by this move, including Zeng Jianguo, and he couldn't understand what Lu Shaohua meant, but they didn't open their mouths and waited quietly for Lu Shaohua's next words.
