On the third day of the Lunar New Year, Liu Ziguang took the opportunity to meet with Zhao Hui in the capital, and in a courtyard near Houhai, he met Zhao Hui and the investors he was talking about.

"This is me playing big and small, Hu Qingsong." Zhao Hui pointed to a twenty-seven or eighteen-year-old young man and said, then patted Liu Ziguang on the shoulder and said, "Liu Ziguang, my buddy." ”

The young man was wearing a light-colored medium-length down jacket that looked like a cheap item from the zoo, his head was shaved short, he was very energetic and polite, and took the initiative to shake hands with Liu Ziguang and said: "Hello buddy, I've been listening to Brother Hui talk about you for a long time." ”

It was the meal, Zhao Hui said: "What, let's make two cups together." ”

Hu Qingsong said: "Okay, I'll arrange it, wait." After saying that, he went out and got into an Audi A6, and walked away.

"Don't look at this guy is very low-key, that's called a real person not showing up." Zhao Hui said.

"The license plate of Beijing A8, a bunch of license plates under the windshield, this is still low-key?" Liu Ziguang asked rhetorically.

"You don't understand this, that's convenient, there's no way, this car is his usual official car, if you go to his underground parking lot to see, and his gray robe, do you know where to get it, North Korean high-end goods, only officials above the Politburo of the Workers' Party are qualified to wear that." Zhao Hui said.

Liu Ziguang nodded and didn't say anything, they are all Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, and there are endless capable people, since they are investors recognized by Zhao Hui, their strength must be no different.

"This buddy is the same as me, the army grew up, he was naughty since he was a child, he didn't like to study, he loved to tinker, when he was seventeen years old, he was sent to the 38th Army by his father as a soldier, and he was an armored soldier for two years, and he made two third-class merits, one second-class merit, and the family was so happy, the heart said that the child was finally on the right path, and the student status of the Shijiazhuang Army School was arranged for him, and guess what, he was discharged from the army, went home and repeated his studies for half a year, and was admitted to university." Zhao Hui's eyebrows danced and told the legendary story of Hu Qingsong, as if he was talking about his own experience.

Liu Ziguang praised: "I really didn't see it, this guy is quite capable." ”

"The ability is still behind, people went to college for two and a half years, I was bored, I dropped out of school and practiced, with the family foundation saved by philately when I was a child, I resolutely invested in the stock market, hey, guess what, it has increased eight times in a year, and I went to speculate in international futures, and I became a multimillionaire, but the most bullish is the time when I opened a copper mine in Mongolia, and on the eve of the Mongolian retracted the mining license, I threw it all away, and made a lot of money, and even the international financial predators couldn't play him."

"So, he must have studied finance in college." Liu Ziguang said.

Zhao Hui smiled and said, "You really guessed wrong, Ya is a graduate of Beijing Film Academy." ”

Half an hour later, Hu Qingsong came back with a chubby man and a basket full of things, and he was still carrying two bottles of Red Star Erguotou in his hand.

"You're tired, Master Feng." Hu Qingsong invited the fat man into the kitchen, turned around and came back and put two bottles of wine on the table and said: "I asked the heir of the belly Feng to invite me, and the brothers will taste the authentic old Beijing flavor today, and the corners of Mei Lanfang, Ma Lianliang, and Xiaobai Yushuang before the liberation are all good at this." ”

The hot pot made of pure copper has been prepared at home, and the meat has also been cut, and the authentic gelding sheep of the West Wuzhumu Banner of Inner Mongolia is almost translucent, and the blue and white porcelain pattern below can be seen through the meat slices.

Another plate of fried peanuts, the second pot head is opened, the aroma of wine is overflowing, the hot pot is splashing, which is appetizing, three straight glasses are placed on the table, and the two pots are poured full of the two pots, and the three of them drink first, not much effort, Master Feng serves a plate of fragrant and crispy belly, wipes his hands with an apron and says: "A few people are eating, I have to go back, I have a reception task today." ”

"Okay, I'll send you." Hu Qingsong stood up and said.

"Sit down, just walk a few steps."

After Master Feng left, Zhao Hui tasted two ** stomachs, and praised it: "This craft is absolutely authentic, where did you invite the cook?" ”

"Master Feng is a state banquet in the Great Hall of the People." Hu Qingsong said with a smile.

Zhao Hui raised his thumb and said, "You can do it, what, let's get down to business, do you think this African iron ore matter can be done?" ”

"I looked at the goog1e satellite map, the general location of the deposit is close to the port, mining and transportation is relatively convenient, but San Juan lacks enough electricity and a deep-water port that can dock 10,000 tons of freighters, as well as skilled workers and drivers, these problems are not difficult to solve, the most difficult is the country's complex political situation, no one can guarantee this, if you don't get billions of investments, it will be wasted."

"Just leave the security to me." Liu Ziguang said.

Hu Qingsong glanced at Liu Ziguang, as if he was estimating the strength of the other party.

"And me." Zhao Hui also said.

"Okay, I'll join." Hu Qingsong raised his glass happily.

……

At the southwestern tip of the Arabian Peninsula, on the outskirts of the famous seaport city of Aden, Richard. Thorpe was sitting on a white rattan chair in the hotel, smoking a cigar as he waited for a guest, a distinguished guest with a busy business.

Ten minutes later, a Land Rover SUV came to the door of the hotel, and Mr. Thorpe's guest finally arrived, a black man in a light linen suit, with a thin build, shrewd and capable, and the waiter led him to sit down in front of Thorpe, offered a drink, and said respectfully, "Mr. Said, please." ”

Thorpe took out a cigar and handed it over, but Said didn't take it, took a cigar from his pocket and said, "I only smoke Cuban cigars." ”

Thorpe shrugged, withdrew his cigar and said, "Mr. Said, I'm honored that you can take time out of your busy schedule to meet me......"

"Okay, I'm not here to listen to you politely, I'm very short on time, please say something important." Said interrupted him unceremoniously.

"Of course, here's the thing, I need you and your team to help me intercept a Chinese freighter called 'Changle', which will pass near the Gulf of Aden in a few days, and I will inform you of the specific time and coordinates, and the reward will be paid 20 percent now, and the rest will be paid after the matter is completed."

"Chinese freighters? The Chinese escort fleet is very powerful, and the price needs to be increased by 30%. Saeed didn't blink his eyes, and directly knocked on the bamboo pole.

"That ship doesn't have a regular flag, it won't sail with the escort fleet, and if it succeeds, it's at your disposal, I don't like a temporary price change, if Mr. Saeed isn't interested, I think your Somali counterparts will be happy to take the deal."

Richard. Thorpe is a shopping mall elite trained in the East Asian steel market, and he is the best at bargaining, and Saeed looked at him for a long time with the leg of his sunglasses, but still agreed.

Thorpe took out a check and handed it over, saying, "I don't think we will see each other again in the future, and I will remit the rest of the reward directly to your account." ”

"It's been a pleasure working with you." Said picked up the check, glanced at the numbers on it, and walked away.

Richard. Thorpe rested his cigar on the ashtray, picked up a martini and watched coldly at the back of the pirate broker and departed, the waves rolling and the coconut wind gusting to witness the evil deal.

At the same time, a 10,000-ton bulk carrier is riding the wind and waves in the Indian Ocean, and the ship's five-star red flag is flying.

……

In China, in a luxury hotel, well-dressed men and women gathered together, the male guests were wearing elegant dresses, and the female guests were even more fancy, and the guests who could participate in this party were not business elites, or political leaders, and there were several actresses who were quite famous in the film and television industry shuttled among them, and the laughter dotted the venue.

This dinner is specially opened for Liu Ziguang, Hu Qingsong has a lot of connections in the capital, and often holds such gatherings, where successful people from all walks of life get together, always get some unexpected inside information, and make some useful friends.

In the corner of the hall, under the arrangement of Hu Qingsong, Liu Ziguang had preliminary contact with the leaders of a large domestic steel enterprise, and the two talked very happily, and after ten minutes the entrepreneur left, Zhao Hui came over and asked: "Is the other party interested?" ”

"If you don't buy a ready-made high-grade Australian mine, do you take the risk to open an African iron ore mine that has not yet been scratched, you think too highly of these entrepreneurs, anyway, it is not their own money that is spent, and it is better to be cooked than raw." Liu Ziguang said coldly.

"It's blind, but it's expected." Zhao Hui said softly, not looking surprised.

Hu Qingsong also came over with two wine glasses and said: "The situation seems to be not ideal, several friends in the investment bank say that the risk is too great, and iron ore is not as valuable as non-ferrous metals, so ......."

"People who do venture capital are too risky, and it seems that this deal is really unpopular." Zhao Hui said.

Hu Qingsong handed Liu Ziguang a glass of red wine and said, "The key is that we have too little information, if there is a detailed exploration report, local situation analysis, risk assessment report, I think there will still be many people interested." ”

Suddenly, Liu Ziguang's gaze was fixed on the face of a woman on the dance floor, wasn't that Li Kun, wearing a jeweled evening dress, looking glamorous, peerless, tall figure, graceful and luxurious, so that the men around him flocked to it, and a semi-bald man seemed to have won the first place, and successfully invited Li Kun to dance together.

Liu Ziguang said that he would not accompany him, and walked straight over, Zhao Hui understood when he saw this, walked to the musician's side and whispered twice, just as Liu Ziguang walked to Li Kun's side, the music ended in advance in a timely manner.

"Why did it stop?" The gentlemen and celebrities who were dancing suddenly stopped dancing, and Li Kun saw Liu Ziguang with a stiff expression, but when he saw that Liu Ziguang was still wearing the Armani suit he bought, his eyes still became gentle.

"Thanks, help me get it." Liu Ziguang handed the wine glass to the semi-bald man in a white dress and top, and stretched out his hand to Li Kun: "Is it okay?" ”

The music sounded again at the right time, Li Kun happily danced with Liu Ziguang, and the bald man returned to his seat with a wine glass indignantly.

"You've ruined my big deal." With a smile on his face, Li Kun gritted his teeth and said to Liu Ziguang.

"How?" Liu Ziguang raised his eyebrows, pretending not to understand.

"Do you know who that is? Director Wang of the Securities Regulatory Commission, this time he was offended miserably. ”

"He doesn't know me, so why should he offend?"

"Why don't I know you, you released his pigeons last time."
