Chapter 318: A Coincidental Encounter
Lee Chung-hee didn't particularly despise the guy in front of him, the other party was a smart person, and it was much better to use reasonable means to make profits than those guys who only cared about making money. [
However, Lee Chung-hee did not answer immediately, but said as if he still didn't quite understand, "What does Mr. Mayor mean?" ”
"I will start to improve the security situation, especially Manhattan, the appearance of the city, and I will also gradually advance with limited funds, but, you know, although Manhattan is not big, there are still many places that look messy, especially on both sides ......of the river, if you come in from the Hudson estuary, all the way in, or the East River, it is miserable."
Lee Chung-hee smiled, but in his heart, he no longer deliberately hid it, and continued, "I probably understand what you mean, but the current situation is not very good, and my father is just an architectural design firm, plus you understand, my eldest brother is still preparing for the election,"
"Your eldest brother doesn't need to talk about it," Bloomberg knew that Lee Chung-hee said so much, in fact, it was all kinds of conditions, and he was really curious about how this kid's young head grew and what was hidden in it.
"Big deal, I'll give him the platform myself when he's running, so that's fine," Mr. Bloomberg said with a laugh.
Lee Chung-hee shook his head, "We can't afford it, Mr. Mayor," it is naturally a good thing to have his endorsement, but it is not particularly good, because it means taking sides, and the Li family's current idea is very simple, to remain neutral.
After September 11, 2oo1, the United States was in the midst of a terrorist attack. And this year's war in Iraq and the upcoming war in Afghanistan. will make the Americans on the road to counterterrorism gone forever.
It won't be until two years later. For the first time, the US economy grew under President George W. Bush, but then there was an economic crisis.
At present, there are many problems due to the huge budget deficit that emerged in the wake of the terrorist attacks, the decline in consumer confidence, ethnic tensions, and the decline in the quality of education. Mr. Bloomberg had no easy time.
The reason why he is looking for Li Zhengxi is because he can actually be the master of the Li family, which everyone has basically understood in the past two years, and before, Li Gongtang was trying to enter the real estate industry.
The Li family is rich now, at least for outsiders, just liquidity. At least there are more than a billion, not to mention assets. There are at least tens of billions of them.
And just like Lee Chung-hee knows, those abandoned factories on both sides of the Hudson River and the East River have always been a pain in the face of Manhattan, and if it weren't for the terrorist attack in 2oo1, I believe that by now, it would have been sorted out.
However, because of the huge accident more than a year ago, there is simply no one to take over the projects that seem to be hot potatoes, and at the very least, we have to find a leader.
And Lee Chung-hee is a genius, the name of the hand of gold is not fake, he has succeeded in everything he has done, it is because of this that Bloomberg has to find him, as soon as he makes a move, Bloomberg can encourage more people to follow up, and it will be easy at that time.
Therefore, there is a lack of an opportunity now, and Lee Chung-hee is that crucial opportunity, which is also the biggest reason why Bloomberg saw him and quickly pulled him.
"Well, Mr. Mayor can tell me about the specific plan, or the idea of the city?"
Of course, Lee Chung-hee knows the urgency of Bloomberg's current situation, he has been in office for more than a year, he has just sorted out his relationship, and he is preparing to do something serious to contribute to his political achievements, and then he can make money along the way.
Therefore, he did not see the rabbit or the eagle now, and chatted with Bloomberg slowly.
Bloomberg didn't think that Lee Chung-hee really fooled him like a twenty-year-old child, so he thought about it and said: "You also know that there are some places near the north of Columbia University that are very messy, and the original abandoned place was originally intended for the expansion of the university, but as early as a few years ago, this plan has been cancelled, but unfortunately it is not a particularly good commercial area, of course, if the whole environment is changed, as a place near the river, the scenery is ......." ”
When Lee Chung-hee heard this, he deliberately laughed, and after making Bloomberg blush, he deliberately joked: "It sounds beautiful," and he didn't say anything like a castle in the air, so as not to make Bloomberg even more embarrassed.
Sometimes, moderation is important, and of course, he just said it on purpose, like Bloomberg just said, the plot near Columbia University, after two or three years, I don't know how many people broke their heads for it.
However, even Bloomberg would not have thought that what he said himself was actually underestimated.
Of course, no one knows what the future holds like Lee Chung-hee, who knows that now crude oil is only more than 20 US dollars a barrel, but in a few years, it will be more than 100 US dollars a barrel, now it will be more than 200 US dollars an ounce, and then 14500 US dollars an ounce.
No one knows, and that's Lee Chung-hee's advantage.
To see through Lee Chung-hee and give him the initiative, but he seems to be interested in joining, or helping, Bloomberg has to reveal more details of the municipal plan, so that Lee Chung-hee can get more valuable information, so as to provide a better basis for future decision-making.
More than half an hour later, the car stopped in front of a small, nondescript shop on Fifth Avenue, and Mr. Bloomberg asked Mr. Lee to get out of the car, saying that this was where he often came to eat.
Lee Chung-hee is not surprised, although there are not as many private restaurants in the United States as in China and South Korea, there are many of them, and the taste is just as good.
Standing on the side of the street and looking around, and then about to go in, Bloomberg pushed him, and pointed out Nunu in the distance, and said, "That seems to be Miss Melissa,"
Li Zhengxi was stunned for a moment, turned his head and saw that she was really walking aimlessly on the street, and the two bodyguards behind her only carried a shopping bag in their hands, which looked more like boredom.
Lee Chung-hee thought for a while before he said to Bloomberg, "If you don't bother, I'll call her over for dinner."
"That's my honor," Bloomberg was a shrewd figure, not to mention that he thought of Lee Chung-hee's special intention to say this, that is, he might want Lamelissa to do this deal with him, even if he had no intention of anything, and it was a good thing to know the little princess of the Tatov family.
Li Zhengxi's eyes lit up when he saw him, and he thought that this old fox was really shrewd, but at this time, everyone was in the same boat, so he didn't say anything, and while taking a few steps forward, he shouted at the other side: "Hey, Melissa......." ”
Melissa Tatov really looked around aimlessly, but she didn't see Li Zhengxi here, heard a familiar voice, quickly scanned it, and then looked at Li Zhengxi who walked towards her in amazement.
"Why are you here?" Melissa Tatov had a surprise on her face, and she ran over quickly, she was wearing a black denim suit today, which was a beige silk blouse, and the jeans tightly wrapped her fat buttocks and long legs, which was particularly attractive.
"Oh, I see, you seem to have started filming "Spider-Man 2" today, right," Melissa Tatov looked at Lee Chung-hee with a smile, she was quite clear about his schedule.
Then he noticed that Bloomberg, who was also walking over there, looked at him in surprise and lowered his voice, "Why are you with him." ”
Lee Chung-hee smiled, seeing that Bloomberg had approached, before he smiled and said, "I went to the city hall today for some things, and I happened to meet Mr. Mayor, and at ten o'clock he said to invite me to lunch, I thought I had something to eat anyway, so I came out with him,"
"You said you invited me to dinner," Bloomberg said with a smile, "You are cunning," and then greeted Melissa Tatof, "Hello, Miss Melissa, it's an honor to meet you!" ”
It was just eleven o'clock, but it was a good arrangement to have a few pleasantries, drink something, eat some snacks, and then eat, so the three of them went inside together.
Lee Chung-hee said to Melissa Tatof: "Why are you shopping outside alone? ”
"I finally gave myself a day off," Melissa Tatov pouted cutely, "but when I got up in the morning, I didn't have much to do, so I had to go around,"
Inside, Bloomberg saw Melissa Tatov holding Lee Chung-hee's arm affectionately, thinking that this time he was even more scoreful, and he also envied Lee Chung-hee's relationship with the little princess of the Tatov family so well.
Of course, it's not just that, the beautiful and intoxicating Alice is the most critical place, perhaps, I have to admit that Lee Chung-hee, a young man, is really addicted to women.
Young, handsome, talented, and golden, aren't these the standards for the best Prince Charming that girls especially yearn for!
"The almond cookies here are excellent, you can try them for two," Mr. Bloomberg greeted like a host, "and the plum wine that I brewed myself, perfect for women, sweet and sour, not too intoxicating...... ”
Since he wanted to talk about serious things, Lee Chung-hee called Melissa Tatov over, and after a few words of greeting, he didn't hide it, "What have you been doing lately, I have a small business here, I don't know if you are interested?" ”
Melissa Tatofu was stunned for a moment, and then glanced at Li Zhengxi angrily, "That's why you two are eating here, and then inviting me to dinner, it's too ungentlemanly,"
Everyone laughed, but both Bloomberg and Lee Chung-hee had to praise Melissa Tatov for being smart and figured out the original nature of the matter at once.
"You know I work in an investment bank on Wall Street," Melissa Tatov glared at Lee Chung-hee again, "but it's boring there,"
When she said this, she was interested, but Lee Chung-hee winked at her at this time and said, "Oh, that's it, it seems that we can have a good chat after eating,"
As soon as he said this, Bloomberg was dumbfounded. (To be continued!)
