Chapter Fifty-Eight: Antiques by Tons
As soon as he got off the plane, Zhou You felt the power of getting off the horse, Singapore is summer all year round, Zhou You thought that the capital has become cold now, but he has no thick clothes in Singapore, so he only bought a casual jacket.
However, the cold air in the capital coincided with the southward movement, and it was only the end of October, and the temperature dropped to about zero degrees, and when he waited for the car to pick him up outside the airport, he could choke on the cold.
"Mr. Zhou, do you want to buy a thick coat first?" It was Lian Huabing, vice president of sales in North China of Weiman Pharmaceutical, who spoke.
"Forget it, I can resist, the clothes here look too ugly." Zhou You looked at the crowded convoy and said, "Let's go, don't wait here, let's go in the direction of the car." β
After walking 300 meters in the cold wind, I finally boarded the business car that was blocked in the lane, and the driver turned on the air conditioner, and I felt a little better when I traveled around.
He's not a person who is afraid of the cold, but he can't bear to wear too little!
"Have Mr. He and Mr. Pan arrived?"
"They all arrived in the morning, He Dong went to visit the Rosewood Museum in the afternoon, and Mr. Pan went to climb the Great Wall in high spirits."
"He's going to climb the Great Wall? I can only climb the chick's Erqiu Mountain every day with his body. β
After listening to Zhou You's ridicule, Lian Huabing just smiled and didn't make any comments. Several of them are his bosses, speaking of which, Pan Yuan is more important to him, and of course he will not ridicule Pan Yuan because of Zhou You's words.
In late autumn, the capital looked gray everywhere, the car was blocked in the passage, there was nothing to look outside the window, and Zhou You retracted his gaze. "They haven't opened a room yet, have they?"
Lian Huabing nodded and smiled: "Yes, they are still waiting for you to open the presidential suite!" β
In terms of position, Zhou You is a shareholder, and Lian Huabing is a manager. In terms of age, Lian Huabing is more than ten years older than Zhou You, and Zhou You is not interested in business, so he has never been in contact with Lian Huabing.
With the intervention of the traffic police, the car finally passed again, and when he left the airport, Zhou You looked out the window.
Whether it was in his previous life or in this life, the capital was a strange city to Zhou You, and he had only been to the capital twice in total. Once when he was a child, his father took him to Tiananmen Square to watch the raising of the national flag, and by the way, he walked around the capital, arrived at the Forbidden City, and climbed the Great Wall.
Another time was in 09 years of his previous life, he ran a ship to Australia, when due to the iron ore lawsuit between China and Australia, the ship stopped at the port of Hedland. He took advantage of that time to travel around Australia, and during the trip, he met a rich girl in the capital, and the two developed a romantic story during the trip.
Later, this chick was nostalgic for the courage of traveling around, and invited him to the capital to relive the mandarin dream. However, after the passage of time, in a new environment, the two of them can no longer find the feeling of the beginning. After this meeting, the two have not been in touch again.
When the car arrived at the Lufthansa Hilton Hotel, Zhou You took out the special discount card given to him by Paris, and opened two presidential suites and one royal suite at less than half price.
The Royal Suite by Hilton is almost 200 square meters in size, with two master bedrooms, one large and one small, and a meeting room. In addition, there is a separate kitchen, a small ballroom, and a separate butler, which can hold a small dance party.
Every time Zhou You went out, it was a small suitcase, and as soon as he put the suitcase, he didn't let the housekeeper help him hang up his clothes, so he was ready to go out to buy clothes.
"Manager Lian, you should be familiar with the capital, right? Where do you sell clothes? β
Lian Huabing said with a smile: "This place is close to Lufthansa, and it is also a famous business circle in Beijing, and there are stores of various brands around. However, if you want to buy clothes, then I recommend calling the driver Xiao Zhang, who accompanies his girlfriend every day and is more familiar with this area. β
Zhou You nodded, "Then I'll thank you first." β
The two of them went downstairs together, Lian Huabing called, and when they arrived downstairs, the driver Xiao Zhang was already waiting at the door.
Yaxing, who didn't go shopping, asked directly: "How many brand stores are there around?" I don't like a style that's too fancy, just a simple and generous style. β
Xiao Zhang lowered his head and thought about it, and said, "If you don't care about the price, there are many brands you can choose from." Mr. Zhou, your figure is very good, and your appearance is tough, the genuine business style is not suitable for you, and the casual style is not bad. β
Zhou You laughed. "Then listen to you, let's go to Armani and have a look."
Zhou You is actually not particular about dressing, in the previous life, he was on the boat every day, and he wore a scruffy beard every day, and he wore it every day, how convenient and how to wear. But now that he is the boss, he spends more time communicating with outsiders, and if he doesn't pay attention to his clothes, he will lose his face.
A three-breasted suit of pure wool, a woolen sweater, a dark blue trench coat in a mid-length style, plus a set of suit cufflinks, Zhou You lost 200,000 in Armani, and he was satisfied.
However, he didn't only care about himself, and swiped a briefcase for Lian Huabing and the driver Xiao Zhang, which was an expression of his heart.
Back at the hotel, Pan Yuan was already waiting in the hotel lobby in a state of exhaustion, with a beautiful girl sitting next to him who could almost be his granddaughter.
When he saw Zhou You, he came to his senses, stretched out his hand and said, "Evan, I haven't seen you for a long time, but I miss me." β
Zhou You said angrily: "I thank you, you are not a little girl, I panic when you think of me." β
He laughed, took out his Hibiscus King and sent them one by one. After coming to the mainland, he fell in love with this brand of cigarettes, and smoked them no matter what the occasion.
"Knowing that you have gained so much in Indonesia all of a sudden, I was shocked and almost had a heart attack. You say how can you be so lucky, but you envy me to death. β
Zhou You is not used to him too much, and laughed: "Am I lucky?" I'm a good character! Let's go, let's go upstairs, invite the Yankees to dinner in the evening, and we'll unify the caliber. When will He Dong come back? β
"Just after talking on the phone, I asked you to press the massage, climb the mountain today, but my old bones are about to fall apart. Good guy, after climbing for a long time, I finally climbed up, but the cold wind was biting, and I, who grew up in the tropics, fell down directly. β
Zhou You raised the bag in his hand, "Then I have to put my things down first...... Are you living in it? β
He nodded, "Presidential Suite, if it weren't for your treat, I really wouldn't be willing to stay." β
An old man and a young man teased all the way, entered the special elevator, and went upstairs.
Even Hua Bing and the others were laughing beside them, and they didn't dare to interject casually. Pan Yuan didn't introduce the girl, which means that she is not that important, so Zhou You didn't pay attention to her.
Pan Yuan didn't ask about the journey of traveling around to find treasures, because this time it was not the two of them, there was also He Jisheng, and this topic would definitely be brought up again. Therefore, when He Jisheng comes back, he can tell the two of them on a trip once.
Not long after returning to the room, He Jisheng returned. Zhou You asked the housekeeper to make an appointment for the massage room downstairs, and accompanied the two old men who could be their grandfathers to massage together.
With Pan Yuan, he has no taboos, and the two of them often have fun bickering, regardless of size. But He Jisheng has always been serious, not to mention traveling, even Pan Yuan is serious in front of him.
Lian Huabing and other subordinates, as well as He Jisheng and Pan Yuan, brought over the massage, and the massage in other rooms left enough space for the three of them.
They didn't talk directly about the topic of treasure hunting, but focused on the negotiations with Pfizer.
Although Zhou You has not been involved, he has always been very familiar with the negotiation process between the two sides, after all, it is related to his own income.
He entrusted this matter to He Jisheng and Pan Yuan, and the two old foxes did not let the Pfizer people take advantage of them. Not to mention foreign countries, the 35 million US dollars in the mainland is equivalent to a transfer fee of more than 200 million yuan and nearly 300 million yuan, but it gave Zhou You a huge surprise.
Although ten years later, the trademark could be worth US$120 million in the mainland alone, but at that time, one dollar was only more than six yuan. More than eight pieces! Moreover, in ten years, Zhou You would have been able to multiply this money tenfold long ago, instead of appreciating it by one or two times.
Therefore, although this money is a little less, there is a time difference of ten years, and he actually makes a lot of money.
Otherwise, Zhou You was reluctant to invite this old guy to live in the presidential suite, tens of thousands of dollars a night, and his money was not blown by the wind.
Ahem, ahem, Hu Mo's money can be regarded as a strong wind......
The US$40 million, since the transfer is a trademark in the Mainland, although neither party to the transaction is a Mainlander, they still have to pay taxes in accordance with the laws of the Mainland.
Demosa was not allowed to come over on this trip, mainly because he happened to be back in Spain to help GrΓ cia with some business matters. In the mainland, 20 percent of the tax payment is clear, there are no loopholes, and the favor can be spoken. Therefore, he was not needed as a lawyer, so he was not asked to come back.
The three of them communicated, Pan Yuan enjoyed the ravages of the masseuse, screaming in his mouth, and listened to Zhou You briefly describe the harvest process in Indonesia, and the two old guys listened to it with relish.
Pan Yuan couldn't help but complain, if you are good this time, you will make tens of millions of dollars all at once, and I have worked here all my life, and I can't earn a fraction of yours. Do you still need to invest in your salvage company? β
When he said this, even He Jisheng was very interested, if Zhou You nodded, then he would have to participate in the shares, and the big deal would be that there was no money from Pfizer this time.
But Zhou You said: "If you had said it earlier, I wouldn't have rejected you, but now I have a heart-to-heart cooperation with the Singapore Navy, and it will be difficult for you to join in." β
Ho asked: "There are rumors from the outside world that your salvage company is jointly controlled by the Singapore Navy and the Maritime Authority, is there such a thing?" β
Zhou You smiled and shook his head, "Do you think it's possible?" Both of these companies are explicitly prohibited from commercial practices, so it's better to say that Temasek is working with me than they are working with me. However, since some cooperation projects cannot be explained simply by commercial contracts, it is really not suitable to admit new shareholders. β
Pan Yuan didn't care either, and said with a smirk: "You've also been to my house, don't you think it's still a thing?" β
Zhou You said with a smile: "I have thought about it a long time ago, I still have more than a ton of porcelain fragments on my ship, and I will send them to your house to pave the floor when I turn around." β
He laughed and said: "He Dong, you see how generous this kid is, the antiques he gave away are all calculated in tons!" β
All three laughed! (To be continued.) )
