"Distinguished guests, I would like to thank you for coming to our annual celebration at Lisboa. I hope you all enjoyed this evening. ”

At the beginning of the banquet, the gambling king personally went out and delivered a passionate speech in a wheelchair, while Liu Tao still sat at the back with Shiyu in a low-key manner. Liu Tao rose too fast and didn't have his own circle, and the only two people he could call friends were now one crossed, and the other didn't know where to hide with his money. Wang Jianhao originally wanted to pull Liu Tao, but Liu Tao refused, just sat in the back and watched quietly.

"Miss, can I ask you to dance?" When Liu Tao took Shiyu to sit behind and talk, a very discordant voice interrupted the happy conversation between the two, and a foreign rich man stood in front of Liu Tao and Shiyu with a smile.

"I'm sorry, she's my female companion, you go to the others." Liu Tao's facial muscles twitched a few times, thinking of those dance scenes on TV, all the thoughts in his heart were expressed on his face, and Shi Yu burst out laughing.

"Oh God, how could such a beautiful young lady cruelly refuse a gentleman's invitation." The rich man put on a pity expression, and at the same time stretched out his hand, bent down and looked at Shiyu with a gentlemanly look, his eyes full of expectation and encouragement.

"I'm sorry, sir." Shiyu said to the man with a smile, and at the same time stood up and gave an apology to the other party, but fortunately, the person was more sensible, shouted mygod and left.

"What, I have flowers on my face?" Liu Tao looked at Shi Yu and stared at his face with a smile on his face. Touching his face, he said with some doubts.

"You're jealous." Shi Yu's words that he held back for half a year almost made Liu Tao suffocate internal injuries, Shi Yu grabbed Liu Tao's hand and said with a happy face: "Go, don't you like to watch me dance?" Let's go, today I will teach you to dance, how can a person of your status not be able to dance? ”

Liu Tao followed Shiyu into the dance floor, but Liu Tao, who was born with a lack of motor nerves, couldn't keep up with Shiyu's pace, and Shiyu guided Liu Tao little by little. Liu Tao finally caught up with Shiyu's pace, and a waiter walked next to Liu Tao, interrupting the rare moment of happiness and tranquility between the two.

"Mr. Liu. I'll introduce you yourself. Gerrard. Franklin. An American tycoon in his thirties smiled and said to Liu Tao: "I am the president of Draco Industries, and I want to talk to Mr. Liu about a business this time." ”

"Fortunately, Mr. Gerald, I wonder what business Mr. Gerald is talking to me about?" Liu Tao looked at the American in front of him in surprise. A standard Mandarin is even more standard than Liu Tao's.

"I heard that Mr. Liu has a lot of Chinese porcelain in his hands. My grandfather and father were very interested in Chinese porcelain. Especially the blue and white porcelain of the Yuan Dynasty and the blue and white porcelain of the Ming Dynasty. Gerald looked at Liu Tao with a smile and said, "Mr. Liu once sold a batch of porcelain, but the quantity is not large, and I have not been able to buy it." So this time, I would like to ask Mr. Liu if he can sell me a few sets of porcelain? As for the price, Mr. Liu doesn't have to worry about it at all. ”

Liu Tao looked at Gerard with some doubts, it is no secret that he sells cultural relics, but it is usually sold through Hongsheng, and this is the first time that someone has taken the initiative to come to the door to buy cultural relics. Gerald's words also dispelled Liu Tao's doubts, it turned out that the grand Li Qiming introduced him.

"I have a few pieces of this porcelain, but in terms of price."

"Oh, Mr. Liu, don't talk about the price, it's a blasphemy against porcelain." As soon as Gerald heard that Liu Tao still had porcelain in his hand, he immediately shouted: "Mr. Liu, if you are willing to help me with this, I think we will become very good friends, and you don't need to worry about the price at all." ”

"Mr. Liu, these pieces of porcelain mean a lot to me, you know my father is going to have a birthday, and I think I need to give a special gift." Gerald smiled and said to Liu Tao: "I heard that Mr. Liu is investing in the energy business, maybe we can cooperate in business." ”

"Our Draco Industries Group is mainly engaged in heavy industry, but also in energy companies. If possible, I think we should have a lot of room for cooperation in love business. Gerald reciprocated and said to Liu Tao with a smile: "Mr. Liu, our group is also one of the largest industrial manufacturing groups in the United States, I heard that Mr. Liu has the intention of investing in steel plants, I think we can provide Mr. Liu with the best equipment at the best price." ”

"Looks like Mr. Gerald has done his homework before." Liu Tao smiled and said to Gerald that he does have plans to invest in heavy industry, and has always wanted to enter the steel market. At least not now, Liu Tao will not consider selling the ore until the first plane can mine a large amount of ore.

China's steel industry is very developed, but for various reasons, the quality of China's top steel has been poor, and there is still a big gap between the top level and the international top level. For example, bearing steel, the current standard in China is only sent to the level of the country in the eighties. Liu Tao has long aimed at the market of Huaguo's special steel, and Alpha clearly told Liu Tao that if the iron ore he refines and coal ore, plus the current technology, he can refine the best steel in the world.

Liu Tao moved the idea of steel very early, but the initial investment in this piece is too large, even if it is as strong as Liu Tao, it may not be able to bear it, especially now that there is a piece of land in Mingzhu City waiting to be developed. However, Gerrard's proposal also made Liu Tao very excited, and if he could get the most advanced equipment in the United States, it would also be a good choice.

"As far as I know, the United States should now impose a technological blockade on our country, right?"

"Oh, shit, don't mention that thing, I forgot." Gerald shouted a cigar and was clearly dissatisfied with American policy: "Those damn government officials, all day long shouting empty slogans. Mr. Liu, if you are really interested in steel, I think I will let me find a way to give Mr. Liu a steel company. ”

"In the eyes of merchants, there are only interests, I don't think my few sets of porcelain can be exchanged for such a big investment from you, right?"

"Of course, the whole thing in the conversation of businessmen is profit." Gerald lit the cigar in his hand and said to Liu Tao: "Mr. Liu, you and I are both businessmen, and we should both understand where the pursuit of businessmen lies. Our company provides Mr. Liu with such steelmaking equipment, Mr. Liu naturally needs to pay a large sum of money, damn, we talked about money again. (To be continued......)
