Chapter 244: Doing Business with Peers
Liu Haonan's car was a silver Bentley Mulsanne, Liu Mengqing drove her Maserati, and the two followed Xia Yun's Range Rover.
When they arrived at the Shangri-La Hotel, the time was only around 5:40, and the three of them parked their cars and entered the hotel lobby, where they were seen by Sun Xingqiang and Zhou Tieren, who were sitting on the sofa in the rest area.
Sun Xingqiang was silent, and Zhou Tieren didn't talk much, but he habitually glanced around from time to time, imprinting the real-time situation in the lobby in his heart, and as soon as Xia Yun and them entered the door, they were immediately discovered by him.
The two of them didn't talk much, and Liu Mengqing also recovered her elegant and calm appearance in front of outsiders, so among the five people, it was mainly Xia Yun and Liu Haonan who were chatting, and the remaining three occasionally talked to each other.
After a few minutes, Zhou Tieren's expression moved slightly, Sun Xingqiang also shifted his gaze, and the two looked at the door of the hotel.
Xia Yun smiled slightly, stopped chatting and stood up, and looked towards the door of the lobby.
Liu Haonan and Liu Mengqing followed the line of sight of the three of them, and happened to see the two of them in straight suits and walked into the hotel.
is also dressed in a suit, but the first feeling of the two is completely different, one of them looks less than thirty, with a smile on his face that makes people feel good, polite and polite like a commercial white-collar worker in an office building, Liu Haonan recognized this person, it is Li Boxian, the property manager of their community, and the other person is in his forties, with a serious expression, sharp eyes, and a tough guy appearance, as soon as he entered the hotel, he glanced around, and when he fell on Xia Yun's body, especially Zhou Tieren's body, he paused slightly, whispered a few words to Li Boxian next to him.
Li Boxian turned his head when he heard this. He smiled and led the way towards them.
Liu Haonan also stood up and took the lead out of the rest area, and the two groups met in the center of the hotel lobby.
Li Boxian first stretched out his hands towards Liu Haonan after a few steps, "Sorry, there is a traffic jam on the road, it's a little late, let Mr. Liu, you wait for a long time!" ”
Liu Haonan smiled slightly, "We haven't been here for long!" ”
After shaking hands, Li Boxian turned to Xia Yun and stretched out his hand. "This is Boss Xia, speaking of which, Boss Xia is also our owner, so you can give more opinions on our work in the future, and bear with us!"
It seems that this is also a long-sleeved master who is good at dancing, Xia Yunha smiled and shook hands with Li Boxian, "Manager Li, you are polite, it should be that everyone takes care of each other!" ”
After being polite, Li Boxian introduced the middle-aged man next to him to Xia Yun. This sharp-eyed man is Wu Wei, the manager of the security department of their property company.
Wu Wei obviously came to inspect the capabilities of their security company, but he didn't seem to be good at words, and he didn't care much about Liu Haonan and Liu Mengqing. paid more attention to Xia Yun, Sun Xingqiang and Zhou Tieren, especially Sun Xingqiang and Zhou Tieren, Xia Yun felt that this Wu Wei should be the same kind of person as them. Also out of the army!
After a few more greetings, Xia Yun asked Sun Xingqiang to take everyone to the upstairs box first, and he and Li Boxian were the two. I ordered more than a dozen dishes in the side hall of the lobby, and then I laughed and went up together.
Entering the box, on a round table of ten people, Liu Haonan and Liu Mengqing sat on one side, while Wu Wei sat with Zhou Tieren and Sun Xingqiang, chatting casually, and there were two seats in the middle of the few people, obviously reserved for the two of them.
Xia Yun was not polite, sat down next to Liu Haonan, left the other position next to Wu Wei to Li Boxian, and said with a smile, "What are you talking about, it looks quite energetic?" ”
Several people laughed, and Liu Haonan smiled, "Xia Yun, I didn't expect that in your small security company, there is still a great god in charge, and it is actually a fake Zhongnanhai bodyguard, which has to be impressive!" ”
It seems that Zhou Tieren's identity has been exposed, but Xia Yun is a little strange, Zhou Tieren himself and Sun Xingqiang are the kind of people who have a very strict mouth, although they are here to talk about business and show their strength, but they will not use Zhou Tieren's past experience as a talking point as soon as they meet!
Perhaps it was because he found Xia Yun's puzzled eyes, Wu Wei on the other side took the initiative to explain for Zhou Tieren and them, "Just now you mentioned the name of Instructor Zhou, I am a little familiar, our company has some business dealings with the Provincial Public Security Department, I also have some friends in the Public Security Department, I have heard about Instructor Zhou, and then I can't help but ask Instructor Zhou if he has been in the Provincial Public Security Department, as soon as he said yes, I know that I have not recognized the wrong person!" ”
At this time, Li Boxian, who was already seated, listened to the conversation between the two, and looked at Zhou Tieren with some surprise, "It turns out that you are the police officer Zhou of the Provincial Public Security Department, I didn't expect that you have already resigned from public office and run to Mr. Xia's Black Shield Security Company!" ”
Listening to the somewhat incredible tone in Li Boxian's words, Xia Yun was slightly stunned, he thought that Zhou Tieren's identity and background should be quite secret, how could it be as if everyone knew it, paused, and couldn't help but ask Li Boxian, "Manager Li, do you all know about our Instructor Zhou?" ”
Li Boxian looked at Xia Yun's expression and smiled strangely, "Boss Xia may have just entered the security industry, so I don't know very well, our Dongheng Property Company also has its own security company, and it is quite high in Yuening. ”
"A retired officer like Officer Zhou, who retired from the Celestial Empire's Core Security Bureau, that is, Zhongnanhai bodyguards, is definitely a national treasure in our security industry, as long as there is a little bit of intention to do this business, everyone has to rush to ...... It's just that before, Zhao Tianhua, the former executive deputy mayor of Yuening City, seemed to have some opinions about Instructor Zhou, so we didn't dare to act rashly! ”
Xia Yun looked at Li Boxian, sighed thoughtfully, and did not speak.
Li Boxian smiled again, and then said, "After Zhao Tianhua fell, we watched for a while, and we originally wanted to wait for the situation to become clear, and then try to contact Instructor Zhou to see if it was possible to invite him over, but I didn't expect Mr. Xia to start so quickly......"
Xia Yun also laughed, and did not continue to talk about Zhou Tieren's affairs, but changed the topic, "I didn't expect Manager Li, you have a security company of your own, and we are still peers, but I am indeed a novice in this industry, but I made a joke, and I actually did business with my peers!" ”
Li Boxian shook his head, "Mr. Xia, although you have just entered the industry, but your vision is also extremely sharp, where is there any joke to say, I just said, the security circle is actually very small, and this industry is still in the initial stage of development, some high-end security business, professional elite manpower is seriously insufficient, our major security companies usually need to work together to take over some big orders, so we are not exclusive to some new friends, of course, want to integrate into this circle, You also need to have a certain ability and quality! ”
Speaking of this, Li Boxian glanced at Zhou Tieren again, and said with a smile, "However, since Mr. Xia's company has Instructor Zhou to join, there will definitely be no shortage of ability or anything, Mr. Xia, you and Mr. Liu are good friends, and they must not be ordinary people, it seems that our security industry will have another predator!" ”
"Manager Li, you are exalting us too much!"
Xia Yun lost his smile, and was about to speak, when there was a knock on the door, the waiter came to serve the food, so he stopped, and when the waiter finished serving, he raised the cup in his hand, "Come, let's go first!" ”
Everyone raised their wine glasses, only Liu Haonan smiled and raised the boiling water in his hand, "I still have something to do at night, I want to drive, so I won't drink, next time I'll be Dong, and I'll have a drink with you!" ”
Liu Mengqing also picked up the orange juice in her hand, "I can't drink either, you can ask for a substitute driver, I don't want to invite!" ”
For the Liu brothers and sisters, whether it is Xia Yun or Li Boxian, they will naturally not be reluctant, they smiled and said that everyone is casual, touched a glass, and began to eat and drink, and the atmosphere gradually became warmer! (To be continued......)
