Chapter 438 [Etiquette to People]
The reason why Su Le agreed to stay and talk to Shangguan Xiongba alone was not out of a good impression of him, but out of curiosity about this person.
What happened tonight seems to be accidental, but if you think about it carefully, there don't seem to be so many coincidences in this world, although Su Le is not a conspiracy theorist, he still feels that today's events are unusual, maybe there is an unknown inevitability in these so-called accidents.
After the Bentley drove Lan Ziyang away, Su Le also called Lao Mo and asked him to come over to greet him. Su Le declined Shangguan Xiongba's invitation, he didn't want to return to the metropolis, a place that affected his mood, and that kind of occasion was not suitable for talking about things.
So the two of them stood in front of the door of the metropolis, and from their position they could see the flashing neon lights of the metropolis, the scene of cars coming and going in front of the metropolis, and the beautiful and charming welcome girl who greeted the send-off in the night.
Shangguan Xiongba looked at Su Le with a smile and said, "You don't know me, but I have admired your name for a long time." ”
Su Le said, "Mr. Shangguan, I'm sorry for causing you trouble tonight. Although tonight's turmoil was not provoked by Su Le, he could not shirk his responsibility and affected the business of the metropolis at a certain time.
Shangguan Xiong said domineeringly: "The person who should say sorry is me, but in fact, I caused you trouble." ”
Su Le was stunned in his heart, he thought that the reason why Shangguan Xiongba said this was because he was in trouble in his field, and as the boss, he took the initiative to take responsibility, so it seems that this person is a little responsible.
Shangguan Xiongba's next sentence surprised Su Le: "The main purpose of my coming to Shenhai this time is to see you!" ”
Su Le looked at Shangguan Xiongba a little strangely, in his impression, he had no connection with this person, and his father's diary did not leave any record about this person, but he didn't know what the relationship between them was?
Shangguan Xiongba saw Su Le's confusion, but he didn't explain his words immediately, looked up at the dark and gloomy sky, sighed and said: "I don't like the winter in Shenhai, it's wet and cold, I have arthritis, and my joints are itchy and painful in this season, you won't know this feeling, I hate to cut off my hands and feet, it's a pain for me to live." ”
Su Le said: "Being alive is always much happier than dying." ”
Shangguan Xiong said domineeringly: "Every winter, I basically spend it in Lingnan, and in the past ten years, every year. He narrowed his eyes at the flickering neon lights of the metropolis and whispered, "I am responsible for the financing of the metropolis, but I rarely bother with business matters." ”
Su Le said: "What are you looking for me?" ”
Shangguan Xiongba glanced at Su Le and couldn't help laughing, from Su Le's words, he could know that he was a young man after all, and he couldn't hold his breath, which can explain why he had a conflict with Liu Bingrong tonight, Shangguan Xiong said domineeringly: "Talk about business!" ”
Su Le said: "Talking about business? He looked a little stunned.
Shangguan Xiongba smiled and said, "I know that now is not the right time to talk about business, but the purpose of my coming to Shenhai this time is to talk to you about business, about Guanghan Palace!" ”
Hearing the three words Guanghan Palace, Su Le immediately understood that Shangguan Xiongba had obviously been engaged in this profession all along, so it was normal to have special attention to Guanghan Palace.
Su Le nodded and said, "Guanghan Palace is indeed my property!" But......" he yawned lazily, "I have no intention of transferring it at the moment. Besides, it's too late today, Mr. Shangguan, you're right, it's not a good time to talk about business. ”
Shangguan Xiongba laughed: "Since Su Shao feels that the timing is not suitable, then we can only talk about it another day." ”
Lao Mo drove the Volvo and stopped about fifty meters away from them.
Su Le took the initiative to reach out to Shangguan Xiongba: "It's a pleasure to meet you!" ”
Shangguan Xiongba shook hands with Su Le and said meaningfully, "It won't be long before we meet again." ”
Su Le got into the car, Lao Mo didn't ask him why he changed his mind and came back suddenly, but just looked at the captain's uniform on Su Le's body with some curiosity, in Lao Mo's opinion, this uniform should be prepared for the carnival ball, and he naturally didn't think of many stories behind this uniform.
After the car drove out of a certain distance, Lao Mo said in a low voice: "If I am not mistaken, that person is Shangguan Xiongba!" ”
Su Le said: "Yes, the boss of the metropolis, Mo Bo knows him?" ”
Of course Lao Mo knows, otherwise how could he call his name in one mouthful, Lao Mo said: "He used to be the southern helmsman of Orchid Gate, and after the establishment of Qingluanmen, he went to Liangguang to develop, based on Huadu, and can be called the leading boss of the entertainment industry in the south." ”
Su Le said: "Orchid Gate? Isn't it the same background as Chu Tianyue? ”
Lao Mo said: "Yes, he and Chu Tianyue can be said to be the two most powerful people in the Orchid Sect at that time. The winner is the king and the loser is the coward, Chu Tianyue unified the three gates of Shentuo, Orchid, and Red Handkerchief, before the establishment of Qingluanmen, Chu Tianyue's status in the Orchid Gate was equal to that of Shangguan Xiongba. Regarding this merger, Shangguan Xiongba did not approve of it, so he took some people to set up his own door, but he and Chu Tianyue were good together, and there was no bloody conflict between them, after he left, he stuck his sphere of influence in Liangguang, and Chu Tianyue had no intention of encroaching on his territory. It's just that Chu Tianyue has been imprisoned for ten years, which has brought the development of Qingluanmen to a near standstill. Shangguan Xiongba's business in Liangguang has been thriving over the years, and it is also an entertainment city and a film and television company, and the rivers and lakes gave him a nickname called Huadu Emperor. ”
Su Le said: "The metropolis is also his?" ”
Lao Mo said: "I don't know the specific ownership of the metropolis, you can ask Pang Runliang about this situation, he knows everything about what happened on Shenhai Road." ”
Su Le looked at the time, it was already eleven o'clock in the evening, and most people were already resting in bed at this time, but Pang Runliang should not, in the past two days, he and Zhang Zutang went to Gusu to take care of Lin Chaotong's funeral. What's more, Su Le didn't have a good impression of him in the first place, so what's the harm in disturbing him?
Pang Runliang really didn't sleep, but the call from Su Le in the middle of the night still surprised him, thinking that something had happened to Shen Hai again. Hearing that Su Le was just asking about the metropolis, Pang Runliang said, "Young Master, why did you suddenly ask about this matter?" ”
Su Le didn't hide it from him, and said softly: "Shangguan Xiongba proposed to buy Guanghan Palace, so I want to know more about this person." ”
Pang Runliang said: "Young master, the metropolis has been open in Shenhai for a while, but the business has always been inferior to the Guanghan Palace, that is, after the Guanghan Palace was closed, the business of the metropolis suddenly improved, Shangguan Xiongba rarely appeared in Shenhai, although the metropolis is his industry, but he has always handed over the metropolis to others to manage, his main forces are distributed in Liangguang, this person is known as the emperor of Huadu." ”
This is the second person to mention this title in Su Le's ear tonight, and Su Le couldn't help laughing: "This name is very exaggerated!" ”
Pang Runliang said: "It's not an exaggeration, it is said that half of the casinos in Huadu are owned by Shangguan Xiongba, and in other cities in Guangzhou, he has no less than 50 high-end clubs, even in Xiangjiang and Lisboa, he has his properties!" ”
Su Le said: "Since he is so busy over there, why do you want to stretch out your hand to Shenhai?" ”
Pang Runliang said: "Who in this world is afraid of money? By the way, I heard that the lease of the Met is about to expire and the landlord is reluctant to renew the lease, and I think that's the real reason why he wants to work with you. ”
Su Le knew that he and Shangguan Xiongba would definitely meet again, but he didn't expect their meeting to come so quickly. Early the next morning, Shangguan Xiongba came to his office, and before Shangguan Xiongba walked into Su Le's office, Zhao Caimo made a special call to Su Le, telling him that the person he wanted to buy Guanghan Palace was Shangguan Xiongba.
After the Guanghan Palace was closed for several months, it suddenly became a piece of fat again, and became the object of a group of heroes.
Shangguan Xiongba still looked like he was smiling, although there were two entourages accompanying him, but Shangguan Xiongba did not let them follow him into Su Le's office, he came here to discuss business, not to demonstrate to people, not the more people the better.
Su Le had just finished the call with Zhao Caimo, and seeing Shangguan Xiongba coming to his office at this point in time, Su Le speculated that Zhao Caimo had an extremely accurate grasp of his itinerary, and there must have been communication between the two before this.
Su Le stood up with a smile: "Mr. Shangguan, welcome!" “
Shangguan Xiongba said with a smile: "I just said that it won't be long before we meet, and I hope Su Shao doesn't mind if I take the liberty to come to the door!" ”
Su Le said with a smile: "The distinguished guests come to the door, and they are shining, and I can't be happy." ”
He invited Shangguan Xiongba to sit down.
After Shangguan Xiongba sat down, he first presented a scroll to Su Le with both hands: "A small gift, not a tribute!" ”
Su Le smiled and said, "Mr. Shangguan, we have just met, how can I be embarrassed to accept your gift?" He made a pun on this sentence, reminding Shangguan Xiongba that I may not agree to your request, and at the same time told Shangguan Xiongba that our friendship has not reached this point. Etiquette must be demanded by others, Su Le has long understood this truth, so he will not believe that there will be a free lunch in this world.
Shangguan Xiong said domineeringly: "Su Shao will see if the gift is to his liking, and then decide whether to accept it or not!" ”
Su Le couldn't help but move in his heart when he saw his confident expression, but he didn't know what kind of elaborate gift Shangguan Xiongba had prepared, could he have calculated that he would not refuse? Su Le untied the straps on the scroll and slowly unfolded it.
