Chapter 6: Renee
Lan Jiawei didn't know about this, and even if he knew, he wouldn't care, just a broker who did bad things. At the moment, he is on his way to the drinking party, and it is not yet time to buy a car, so everything will be said after it has taken root, so the car is rented by the hotel where he stays, with a driver. Thinking of the appearance of the shopping guide when shopping for evening dresses, the shopping guide's electric eyes were messed up, and smiled slightly. It's not that he's hypocritical, it's that he doesn't like to think with his lower body.
The car stopped in front of the gorgeous gate of the Walf Hotel, the doorman opened the door, and Lan Jiawei, who was wearing a black evening dress, was led by the waiter to the banquet hall, which was a rather European-style hall with a large area, and it seemed that it was mainly for holding cocktail parties all year round.
"Hey, Jiawei, I'm really handsome today, come, I'll introduce you to a few friends", and took Lan Jiawei to a circle of people.
After a brief introduction to the others, the focus is on a middle-aged man, "This is Mr. Snow Trander, a director of Wells Fargo."
Trander took the initiative to stretch out his hand and shook it with Lan Jiawei, "I guess this is the new rich man Mr. Jia Wei Lan, thank you for your trust in our bank."
Lan Jiawei took a glass of red wine from the plate of the waiter passing by, "Yes, Mr. Trande, you can call me Jiawei"
Trander smiled implicitly: "What a nice young man, I heard that you will stay in the United States to develop?" ”
Mike interjected at this time: "You talk first, I'll go over there, Jiawei, maybe you'll come over later."
Lan Jiawei nodded and watched Mike walk towards a few people in the corner, then turned back to Trander and raised his glass, "Indeed, Mr. Trander, I plan to buy a farm, you know that I studied horticulture in college, that can make a lot of dreams come true."
Trander also raised his glass and took a small sip: "Garvy, I heard Mike say something about your family, you must know that the United States also has politics, and you will face the problem of choosing sides in the future, but the United States is democratic, those will not affect you anything, but choosing the right side may bring you more benefits."
Lan Jiawei raised his eyebrows, "Do you mean the Democratic Party and the Republican Party?" I think I'll make a choice, thank you for the advice", about the two parties in the United States, Lan Jiawei has learned about it in China, it is nothing more than the endorsement of different interest groups, how to choose, wait until the implementation of where to buy the farm.
After the two chatted for a while, Lan Jiawei said goodbye and left, and walked to Mike's side, "Jiawei, how was the chat?" I'll introduce you to a few more friends." After speaking, Mike introduced several people around him, a blonde young man named Hans Svick, who was about the same height as Lan Jiawei, who ran a gallery, and this time he attended the drinking party to seek financial help; Another tall, chubby, age-telling guy is Peter, a winery owner from California; The last one is Newman Hockmende, a real estate agent from Los Angeles.
Lan Jiawei is not too interested in a ready-made winery, and in the future, he will get one by himself, and with the experience and seeds of the Moon Elves, he believes that he will succeed. So after some pleasantries, the focus was on Hans and Newman chatting. It didn't take Mike two minutes to see it, shrugging at Peter, and the two of them walked together to the other group.
"Hans, you said that the Phantom Gallery you run is still looking for potential young painters in Europe?" Lan Jiawei asked the blonde youth.
"Yes, JAVY, I have found several guys with great potential, and there is a Chinese among them, who is just a lack of cash flow now, and I can't trust the vampires in the bank."
"Well, Hans, I'll admit to being interested, how much money do you need, and how much stake can I have?"
Hans touched his chin: "It can't be less than $700,000, I can give you five percent of the shares"
Lan Jiawei shook his head: "I'll give you $800,000, but I ask for ten percent of the shares, you have to know that I need to get the investment certificate as soon as possible to get a damn green card, otherwise I won't offer this price."
"Okay, deal, here's my business card, it has the address of the gallery on it, I'll be waiting for you tomorrow afternoon", Hans finished speaking, and Lan Jiawei raised their hands and slapped each other's hands.
At the end of this way, Lan Jiawei turned to Newman, "Sorry, I waited for a long time"
"It's nothing, it's an honor to witness the completion of an investment," Newman said, raising his glass.
Good character, this is Lan Jiawei's evaluation of this short agent. "Newman, I seriously entrust you to find a suitable farm for me, maybe in ten days, I will go to Los Angeles with the lawyer, we will sign an agreement, if you can wait in New York for two days, we will sign the agreement."
"Okay, Mr. Lan, I have business in New York, I will stay for four or five days, please give me my email address, and I will send the relevant photos as soon as possible when I go back." Newman replied seriously, too.
Lan Jiawei solved two things in one night and was in a good mood. "Cheers to our collaboration", and the other two also raised their glasses to "Cheers".
The next day, when it was time to go to work, Lan Jiawei gave the lawyer Kane a phone call, told him the address of the Phantom Gallery, and made an appointment. When I went to the gallery in the afternoon, I saw that Newman was actually there, but what Lan Jiawei didn't know was that this little man was actually introduced by Mike to meet him, but in a different way, so the agreement was brought with him.
Kane didn't feel that there was any trouble with a few more things, this opportunity to make money, no one would miss it, and it didn't take long for the two agreements to be signed.
Lan Jiawei then pulled Kane in the gallery conference room to discuss the green card.
"Mr. Lan, for the rich, the green card application is not a problem, it will be very fast", after speaking, he took out two documents, and then said: "These two, one is the power of attorney letter for the green card, and the other is the bank account certificate application letter, which all need you to sign after reading it, and leave the rest to me, it won't take long."
After carefully reading the contents of the two documents, Lan Jiawei signed his name in Chinese and English.
When Kane packed all the paperwork and was about to go out, he made a rare joke: "Mr. Lan, your green card will be processed at the end of the month, and you have to hurry up if you want to pursue the girls in New York."
Lan Jiawei smiled and waved his hand, and saw Kane leave, and Hans walked in
"JAVY, are you busy? I'm going to Europe tomorrow, and I think the Venice exhibition of those guys will be a success."
"Hans, I don't know much about this, you can do it, I want to go to the exhibition hall below, can you go?".
"I'm not going, I have to make some preparations, you go, I'll call the security guard below"
"Alright then......"
The Phantom Gallery has two floors, the area is not small, the first floor is for exhibitions, and the second floor is for offices.
Although he had seen some paintings in the Terrans when he was a moon elf, Lan Jiawei didn't understand these things, and his level stayed at "good-looking, not good-looking".
The paintings in the Phantom Gallery are different from the European and American painting styles in Lan Jiawei's impression, they belong to the realist school, not the kind of impressionist thing that is said to be a few drops of paint. There are several oil paintings depicting nature, and it is very interesting to look at.
When he turned a corner, Lan Jiawei felt his heart beat "bang", "Oh, the tall white beauty in front ......", although only the fair skin, well-proportioned figure, beautiful neck can be seen on the side, and the long brown hair with waves is naturally scattered on the floral skirt, and the eyes are invisible, but that kind of temperament instantly captured Mr. Lan Da's eyes.
The beauty also felt Lan Jiawei's eyes, turned her head, and saw that it was a handsome guy who discharged herself, her eyes lit up, and she took the initiative to come over: "! @#¥¥%@#¥”。
Lan Jiawei scratched his head and noticed that the beauty was indeed very beautiful, with bright big eyes with the same brown eyes as her hair, and a beautifully curved nose, even the beauties of the Moon Elves were not bad, and said in English: "I'm sorry, Miss, I don't understand what you're talking about."
The beautiful woman looked at the big boy opposite with amusement and changed to English: "Are you Chinese?" You have to know that I am French, French is the most beautiful language in the world, you should take the initiative to learn it, okay, my name is Renee, what about you, lovely....uh, man, it's not polite to ask a lady to introduce herself first".
Lan Jiawei looked at Renee's teasing eyes, and the delicate face that was about to reach his chin, although he was known as a thousand-year-old demon, he still couldn't help but blush. He knew some Western etiquette, and he would not take the initiative to reach out to a lady and ask for a handshake, but according to the human etiquette of the Leth Continent in his impression, he took half a step back and bowed slightly.
"Yes, beautiful lady, I'm Chinese, JAVY Blue, you can call me JAVY", in order to avoid embarrassment, quickly changed the subject: "Are you from Paris?" I heard it was a beautiful city, but unfortunately I haven't been there."
Renee smiled slyly and took the initiative to stretch out her hand: "Yes, I'm from Paris, and I'm traveling alone this time, and I'm going to stay for about ten days, shy gentleman."
He gently shook his soft little hand. Lan Jiawei is not a stupid person, of course he can hear the meaning of "alone" in the other party's accentuated tone. "Wow, am I lucky enough to be the companion of such a beautiful lady?" ”。
"Are you standing here? Treat the lady for a drink, it's the first step on a date, cute little brother"
“……”
Dinner time, inside a well-known French restaurant in New York
"Your English pronunciation is very strange, would you like to learn from me?"
"Of course, I'm very willing, I only learned in China from a tutorial where I don't know where I came from......"
"That's very good, oh, your Western food etiquette is very standard, very gentlemanly"
Lan Jiawei sneered, "I am the brother of the former king of the human race in the Leth Continent, and I have learned the court etiquette of the human race."
