Chapter 385: Strip Parlor
"Hi, I'm Jiangshan, we met on the street today!"
After dialing the phone, Jiang Shan lowered his voice and said, "Mr. Redford, shall we find a place to talk about what we said today?" ”
"Is that you?"
Tom. Redford's voice was a little indifferent, but it quickly became enthusiastic, "It turned out to be Mr. Jiang Shan, we met during the day, right?" A place to shine shoes on the street. By the way, I'm at the Merrill Club now, if you have time, you can come here and let's have a drink. ”
In the morning, he assumed that the other party would call, and sure enough, things developed as he expected. Now he made another request on the phone, the purpose of which was to test the other party's need for him.
"Club Merrill, what is that place?"
Jiang Shan was stunned for a moment, a little confused, and couldn't help asking, "Also, I'm not a member of this club, so how can I get in?" ”
"You ask the taxi driver and they'll take you to the club."
Tom. Redford was happy, but patiently explained, "When you get there, you give my name, and the guards will let you in." Remember, it's the Merrill Club. ”
At this time, he had already concluded in his heart that the other party was not a person who worked in the financial city. You must know that among the traders and bankers of the City, the Merrill Club is very famous, almost to the point that everyone knows about it. For no other reason than this, it's the top strip club in London.
For traders, alcohol and femininity are their best pastimes. These things can provide them with mental and physical pleasure, and in addition to venting their energy, they can also satisfy their strong desire to conquer. Of course, there are also traders who are more daring and aggressive, and they usually use drugs to seek a stronger thrill.
If the other party agrees, it means that the other party is much more urgent about this transaction than himself, so he has a lot of room to operate. Tom. Redford was not in a hurry, holding the phone and patiently waiting for Jiangshan's answer.
"No problem!"
Still didn't surprise him, Jiang Shan just thought about it for a while, and then happily agreed, "Then we'll see you later." ”
On the other end of the phone, Tom. Redford grinned and laughed silently.
The dim and misty seductive lights, the deafening strong music, the profligate man in the suit, the naked dancer who teased and seduced, when Jiang Shan just entered the club, all these scenes strongly impacted his visual nerves, making him involuntarily have a primitive impulse.
As the top striptease club in London, Club Merrill is not only unique in its interior design, but also in the selection of strippers. In addition to their excellent dancing skills, they are also given a variety of different roles, including office girls, flight attendants, police officers, housewives and other different types.
The most attractive thing is that the dancers here do not fake their colors to the customers during the performance. Whether they are facing a well-dressed middle-aged man or an obscene uncle, they all treat each other with a cold face. If you want to be warmly welcomed, then you have to book a VIP room and perform alone. And the price of such a VIP room is undoubtedly very expensive.
The owner here has a good grasp of the psychology of the men, so he is able to run this club well.
"Hey!"
In front of a long line of bars, Jiang Shan found Tom, who was staring at a stripper. Radford. He greeted loudly, "Mr. Redford, we meet again!" ”
"This girl is so hot!"
Looking at the strippers doing all sorts of sultry moves on stage, Tom. Redford subconsciously licked his lips, with an extremely hungry look in his eyes, "This is one of the club's red cards, and there are many people chasing her off the field." Hehe, if only I could spend the night with him, it would be worth letting me die now. ”
Jiang Shan looked around, and sure enough, although there were several strippers performing at the same time on the stage, most of the eyes were on Tom. The one in front of Redford.
"It's nothing special."
Calling a cocktail, Jiangshan savored it for a while, and then Tom. Redford said, "This girl is very common in appearance and her body is not plump enough, why are so many people obsessed with her?" ”
"You don't understand, hehe!"
Tom. Redford let out a lewd laugh and leaned into Jiang Shan's ear and said, "I heard that she ...... Hey, hey, now you know why so many people are after her, right? ”
"I see!"
After listening to the other party's explanation, Jiang Shan suddenly realized, but he immediately turned the topic to business, "But Mr. Redford, are we going to watch striptease here all the time?" Shall we find a quiet place to talk about business? ”
"Business?"
Tom. Redford reluctantly withdrew his gaze, glanced at Jiang Shan suspiciously, and then patted his head and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Jiang, I almost forgot to get down to business." ”
He looked around, snapped his fingers, and immediately a bartender approached. He took out a stack of bills from his pocket, handed them to the other as he counted, and commanded, "Find me a VIP box, and I'll entertain my friends!" ”
Soon, the two arrived in a relatively quiet box. In the center of this circular box is a small dance floor dedicated to strippers, surrounded by a string of circular sofas, and the watchers are less than a metre away from the strippers to see them up close.
Although it is a private room, the whole box is not closed, and there is a big man staring at the scene inside at all times through the beaded curtain. Because strippers are not allowed to touch, and in such a small and enclosed space, it is not excluded that the guests who are bold and bold can even violate each other, so it is necessary to take necessary protective measures.
Soon the music was playing, and a stripper with a distinctly oriental face entered the room and began her performance. Naturally, the reason for ordering this stripper with an oriental face, Tom. Redford is just to curry favor with the country.
"Are you going to do currency swaps?"
Tom. Redford lit a cigarette and asked nonchalantly as he stared at the stripper's seductive movements, "This is a very easy deal." ”
"Hehe, it's my first time in contact with this!"
Jiang Shan smiled "embarrassedly", took a sip of his wine glass, and covered up his "embarrassment": "I'm sorry, I'm the vanguard, and I'll come to London to find a clue first." After coming into contact with the relevant clues, someone will come to talk about this matter. ”
"So, you can't do the whole thing?"
Tom. Redford's interest suddenly decreased, "I can provide you with some information." But if you really want to talk, then it's better to talk to someone who can call the shots with me, so as not to waste my time. ”
"This ...... This ......"
After Jiang Shan heard this, his hands immediately wrenched together, and he said slowly for a while, "Things are a little complicated. If it's purely for business, then I don't need to run around in the financial city. Well, it's a bit ...... You know. ”
His anomalous reaction immediately caused Tom. Redford's attention, at this time, the stripper happened to come over and perform in front of the two. He waved his hand impatiently, letting the other party continue to perform on the dance floor, while lowering his voice and asking Jiang Shan, "What the hell is going on?" Sorry, Mr. Jiang, is there anything special? ”
"Hey......
Jiang Shanpi laughed twice, looked around, and then replied, "I won't tell you, Mr. Redford." I'm from Huaxia and work for a large company. The nature of our enterprise is a bit special, and it is state-owned. You know what I mean? ”
"Internal political struggles?"
This time Tom. Redford seemed to understand a little, and said, "It's not a big deal. Our company also does business with many enterprises in China, although their internal is a bit complicated, but as long as we do things according to the rules of business, everything will become easy. ”
There is a power struggle within not only the enterprises of China, but also any enterprise in the world. So Tom. Redford didn't really care about this hint.
"No, no, no!"
Jiang Shan's hands tightened tighter, and he hesitated for a long time before he said, "It's not a political struggle. But since I'm in charge of this business, I can't miss it empty-handed. So, you get the idea? ”
"You mean?"
Tom. Redford's eyebrows moved, his eyes narrowed instantly, he looked at Jiangshan, saw that the other party nodded imperceptibly, and finally confirmed what he thought in his heart, "This matter is easy to do, and it is easy to do, and it is not easy to do, after all, it is beyond the rules." ”
He finally understood what the other party meant. To put it simply, the guy in front of him wants to reap some of the benefits of this deal.
This kind of behavior is strictly illegal, but in another system, it is widespread, because ownership is the state, and no one really treats these things as their own. In the absence of ownership, it is obviously impossible to make the other party responsible.
This behavior has a term in economics called moral hazard.
"How much money do you have to make a currency swap?"
Tom. Redford's expression immediately became serious, and he lowered his voice and asked Jiang Shan, "How long is the number of years, and how much benefit do you plan to get from it?" ”
This kind of thing is naturally shared by those who see it. The other party is using the power at hand, and he will be the specific operator. Although he may get far less than the other party, but there can be such a windfall, Tom. Redford wouldn't say no no anyway.
"$20 billion, 10 years!"
Jiang Shan blurted out, but the next moment he realized his mistake and immediately changed his words, "$5 billion in capital scale, ten-year loan." ”
"What?"
Although he knows all about the tricks of the country, no matter which number it is, it makes Tom. Redford gasped, "God, so much money? Mr. Jiang, what the hell are you doing? How is it possible to decide such a large flow of money? ”
"Didn't I tell you?"
At this time, Jiang Shan's waist straightened up, and he said a little unhappily, "I am a manager from a state-owned enterprise in Huaxia. What exactly it is, you'll soon know. But there are some things that you better not know and I won't say if you ask. ”
"Understood, understood!"
Tom at this time. Redford had already nodded like garlic, where would he ask anything more, and immediately after making a tacit calculation in his heart, he analyzed Jiangshan, "According to our industry rules, if such a transaction is matched, our company will generally commission one percent of the commission, which is a profit of 50 million US dollars." If you can hand over this business to me, I guarantee you will get a $1 million, no, $2 million rebate. ”
According to the rules of the trade, this amount of money is already astronomical. But let's Tom. What Redford didn't expect was that a deep disappointment appeared on Jiang Shan's face.
"Why is it so much money? It's so little! (To be continued.) )
