Chapter 137: Expensive Dinner
After Liang Sanping arrived at the hotel, he entered the lobby of the hotel under the guidance of Jiang Li. And when he learned that Xiangjiang was coming to Dahao was about to visit his hotel, the manager was naturally waiting in the lobby of the hotel.
Seeing Jiang Li, the manager greeted him very warmly. After greeting for a while, he arranged for someone to take Jiang Li and Liang Sanping to the reserved private room first.
The manager continued to wait in the lobby, and his main guests were the two tycoons of Hong Kong. It's just that Liang Sanping and Jiang Li's words are not worthy of him coming to greet him in person.
Jiang Li and Liang Sanping also knew, so after greeting each other, they went directly to the private room under the leadership of the lobby manager. The waiter was already waiting in the private room.
After Liang Sanping and Jiang Li sat down, someone served tea. After helping the two of them wash the cups and teapots, they quietly retreated after brewing fragrant tea. And closed the door.
Liang Sanping and Jiang Li looked at each other and smiled, and then chatted over tea. The main thing is that Jiang Li is saying and Liang Sanping is listening. Jiang Li knew what Liang Sanping needed now.
He needs to understand the personalities and hobbies of these two Xiangjiang tycoons. There are also some taboos. This is the homework that Liang Sanping needs to do before meeting these two.
In Jiang Li's soft-spoken explanation, Liang Sanping nodded frequently. Half an hour later, I heard a knock on the door outside. Immediately, someone pushed the door open.
"Hahaha...... The two little friends have been waiting for a long time! Forgiveness! Forgiveness! But I saw a slightly chubby man in a suit, about 60 years old, accompanied by a well-proportioned man about 40 years old beside him, walking slowly into the room.
Seeing this, Liang Sanping and Jiang Li immediately stood up respectfully. And Liang Sanping opened his mouth to the two and said: "You two are usually busy with work, and it is rare to be able to find time to meet the juniors." How dare the younger generation ask for more?! ”
The one who came in was Li Jiacheng and the ship's emperor. And the two of them couldn't help but nod when they heard Liang Sanping's words. Polite children, who will like three points in their hearts. saw Liang Sanping wearing a suit again. Knowing the importance he attaches to this meeting.
The two of them also felt respected in their hearts, but they saw Li Jiacheng and said with a smile: "Hahaha...... Sit down, sit down and talk! It's a guest from afar, and it was our host's mistake to keep the guest waiting for so long......"
At the moment when Li Jiacheng and the ship's emperor came in, a waiter sent the dishes and red wine one by one. With just a few words, the entire table was filled. Even the red wine was opened. Poured it into a cup.
Li Jiacheng immediately raised a glass of red wine and said to Liang Sanping with a smile: "Come, I'll toast you!" ”
Hearing what Li Jiacheng said, Liang Sanping hurriedly picked up the wine glass and bowed slightly: "The elder gives it, don't dare to resign." Sanping is cheeky......"
As he spoke, he drank all the wine in his cup. Then he said to Li Jiacheng: "You can do whatever you want." ”
Li Jiacheng was taken aback by Liang Sanping's move of draining the red wine, they usually drink alcohol not so directly. But hearing Liang Sanping say it casually, Li Jiacheng still smiled and drank the glass of red wine.
Then everyone sat down, and Li Jiacheng and the ship emperor diligently asked Liang Sanping to eat more. And Liang Sanping responded to the two with a smile. During the banquet, Liang Sanping didn't say much about business.
Instead, he talked about the customs and customs of Qiongdao. talked about the cultural history of Qiong Island. The customs and habits of various ethnic groups, as well as some special delicacies and the current state of development.
Li Jiacheng and the ship emperor sounded very interesting, and would ask Liang Sanping a few words from time to time. The meal lasted for nearly an hour, whether it was Li Jiacheng or the ship's emperor. Didn't mention anything about business.
And Liang Sanping didn't mention it at all, on the contrary, he talked more about the current situation in Qiongdao. Occasionally talk about some Xiangjiang sights. Li Jiacheng and the ship emperor always listened with a smile, and would ask a few questions from time to time. Or a few words of emotion.
After the meal, the four of them moved to a clean tea room. There is a complete set of tea sets in the tea room, and a box of fine Tieguanyin is placed on the table.
After everyone has sat down. Liang Sanping smiled and began to make tea. And Li Jiacheng was obviously surprised that Liang Sanping could make tea, and looked at Liang Sanping's smooth action of making tea. But he couldn't help but nodded.
Lijia costs people from the Chaoshan area, and the people there like to make kung fu tea the most. Tea is particular and not brewed casually. Washing tea and cups, Guan Gong patrolling the city and Phoenix nodded three times...... Wait a minute.
People who haven't really tasted tea can't make it. And Liang Sanping is extremely skilled in completing this qiē. He seemed surprised to see Li Jiacheng. Liang Sanping said with a smile.
"I have a teacher from the two institutes in South China, who is from Chaoshan. He likes to make tea very much, so I learned to make tea while learning about agriculture from him. ”
As he spoke, Liang Sanping divided the cups of tea and said softly, "Please tea." ”
And the ship's emperor and Li Jiacheng are two. He chuckled and picked up his teacup. Even at this time, the four of them still didn't talk about anything about business. However, the scene was replaced by Li Jiacheng and the ship's emperor taking turns to talk about the interesting things they had encountered in Xiangjiang and doing business abroad over the years.
The two of them also talked about their own business experience from time to time, and talked about some of their experiences and feelings. Liang Sanping and Jiang Li listened carefully. From time to time, some doubts are raised.
Speaking of the suppression of Chinese businessmen in Xiangjiang, the ship's emperor and Li Jiacheng would show a depressed look. Speaking of Li Jiacheng's acquisition of Jardine Matheson, one of the four major foreign companies in Xiangjiang, the morale of Chinese businessmen has been greatly increased. Everyone couldn't help but dance with their eyebrows.
Speaking of the hardships of the ship's early years, everyone couldn't help but feel sad. In the blink of an eye, more than an hour has passed. At this time, it was already more than ten o'clock, and he was a little tired when he looked at the ship.
Li Jiacheng said goodbye, while Liang Sanping was still smiling warmly. The two of them were sent from the room to the hall. even opened the elevator for everyone carefully, and at the same time carefully and respectfully supported the old man of the ship.
"The day after tomorrow, I will organize an expedition team to Qiongdao for investigation. If there are no accidents, we will sign a cooperation agreement in a month. ”
Until I arrived at the door, the driver came in a car. When he was about to get in the car, Li Jiacheng smiled and said to Liang Sanping: "Young man, you are very good. There is no shortage of passionate young people in this era, but what is lacking is patient and patient young people......"
"Opportunities are indeed for those who are prepared. But also for those who have enough patience and patience. But seeing Li Jiacheng smiled and said to Liang Sanping: "I don't have enough patience, I don't have enough patience." Even if the opportunity is only three steps away from you, you still can't grasp it......"
After saying this, Li Jiacheng boarded the car with a smile. The emperor on the side looked at Liang Sanping with a smile. "Go!" The future is your world, and we old guys are old. The future is your time. ”
After speaking, the old man slowly boarded the car with Jiang Li's support. Until the two Xiangjiang bigwigs left under their watch. Liang Sanping and Jiang Li, who were standing at the door of the hotel, breathed a sigh of relief.
"Sanping, you know what?! For a moment, I almost thought that our affairs were yellow. Watching the car of the two bigwigs leave, Jiang Licai smiled bitterly at Liang Sanping.
"You don't know, more than three hours. The two of them didn't even mention a word about business, and I thought they didn't think it was feasible. Ready to cope with your meal and go. ”
Liang Sanping couldn't help but smile when he heard this. said to Jiang Li: "Ah Li, the time of these two is much more valuable than my time. Spent hours, not to be with me. I'm not that valuable......"
"They're not so much with me as they are doing a business test. At the very least, patience is to be had. As Mr. Li Jiacheng said, there is a lack of patience and patience in some things. You don't get a chance to get ......"
"Patience and patience determine whether you can hold on to it. If you don't have this patience, you don't have this patience. Even if it's a momentary affair, it's just a passing moment. The best laugh is the last laugh. ”
Jiang Li pondered Liang Sanping's words, and then thought about what Li Jiacheng said when he left. The more I think about it, the more I feel that it tastes. Tonight's meal is the dishes and wine at the banquet. It's worth a lot of money.
But what is more valuable than these two is the knowledge that the two Xiangjiang bigwigs passed on orally during the banquet. Especially after the meal, the two bigwigs talked about their experiences, and they were able to hear the experiences described by these two with their own ears. That's an asset in itself.
In this respect, the intangible value of this meal is infinitely higher than its tangible value. Moreover, this height cannot be measured. Li Jiacheng, the first Chinese businessman in Hong Kong, acquired a British-funded enterprise. It is also one of the four major British-funded foreign banks.
The Ship Emperor, a world-class shipping tycoon. Even the tonnage of ships it has now is directly the highest in the world. I was able to hear these two people talk about their business experiences and the journey. This is what any businessman can only dream of.
"I'm still thanking you! Sanping! But after seeing Jiang Li silent for a while, he said to Liang Sanping: "If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I wouldn't have such a legendary experience......
"Not necessarily." saw Liang Sanping smile and said, "Of course, I may have advanced this experience." But I'm convinced, even if it's not me. Sooner or later, you will have such an experience, so let the two bigwigs of Xiangjiang personally state their mental journey to you. Say your own thoughts. ”
"Because, in my eyes. You Jiang Li deserve this. Liang Sanping's words made Jiang Li very grateful. At this time, the two of them were excited, but they didn't feel like they were going to sleep.
So Jiang Liti found a place to drink two more cups, but Liang Sanping felt sorry for not drinking two cups at this time. Haha smiled, got into Jiang Li's car and drove towards the outside of the hotel...... (To be continued......)
