"Ahh Look up for a long time. Chairman of the Public Utilities Holding Company, "Hu Wenkai's jaw dropped.

Historically, the culprit of the 1929 economic depression in the United States, he established public utility holding companies such as Federal Signaling, Federal Edison, People's Gas, and the Northern Indiana Public Service Company. Insal also owns a number of railroad companies, including Chicago North Shore and Milwaukee Rail Rapid Transit, Chicago MRT, Chicago South Shore, South Bend Railroad, etc. As a result of Insar's highly leveraged shareholding ($27 million controlled a $500 million worth of business empires), his business empire collapsed during the Great Depression and 600,000 shareholders suffered losses.

"After Mr. Hu talked about this, I have another private matter."

"Mr. Karl, please speak"

"On behalf of my father's company, I will give you *100,000 standard rails, of course, at the price at which your company is now sold in the United States."

Hu Wenkai burst out laughing: "Did the company order it or did you order it personally?" ”

"Does it make a difference?"

Hu Wenkai sat up straight and said: "Mr. Karl, I want to make you a friend, if it is you personally, I can give you 9.8% off, and allow you to pay 10,000 roots once." ”

"Let's be honest, I ordered this item personally. My brother and I can easily supply to the MRT company, thank you Mr. Hu. Carl said a little embarrassed.

"There's no place where you'll know me for a long time, but Mr. Karl, I have to cash the ship to the United States to get the money into the account. And all of my company's products, you can do a 9.8% discount. ”

"That's great, I'll take my leave." After Carl finished speaking, he stood up excitedly and prepared to leave.

Hu Wenkai hurriedly stopped him: "Mr. Karl, how can you leave without a meal?" Look down on me Hu Wenkai, right? ”

Karl said, "How so? I'm sorry to bother any longer. ”

"Darling Carrotta called Lao Yi, Wang Xihai, Chen Yongcheng, Li Congshan, and Lao Shi. Let them arrange a good hotel for me to entertain Mr. Carl in the evening. Hu Wenkai shouted loudly upstairs.

"Mr. Carl, it will be very convenient for you to introduce my sales manager and the general manager of the company in the evening." Hu Wenkai explained.

It is impossible for Hu Wenkai to let this rich second generation and the official status of the United States leave.

"Mr. Hu, I like Chinese food now and don't need a Western restaurant."

"Nacheng, let's eat authentic Lu cuisine," Hu Wenkai nodded and said.

Carotta walked down from the stairs with a smile: "Carl knows now, my family Wenkai is very hospitable, Hu Wenkai, you don't know, Carl was very hesitant to meet a nail before coming." ”

Carl smiled and said: "That's not what Carrotta meant, I came here with a request from the consortium, I'm afraid that Mr. Hu will have an opinion." ”

"Carl is still Mr. Hu, Mr. Hu, you just call him Brother Wenkai, and if you call him like that, it will be obvious." Carrotta shows the demeanor of a hostess.

"Yes, yes, I don't call Mr. Hu Brother Wenkai. I'm more than ten years older. ”

Hu Wenkai smacked his lips and said, "You American embassy cows, even I know my age." ”

"Brother Wen Kai is not a cow in our embassy, I guess every embassy knows your age and experience. It's too hard for you not to attract attention, and the embassies are touching your bottom after you participate in the exhibition in Chicago, USA. ”

"Brother Carl, tell me, what's my old bottom?" Hu Wenkai leaned over and said.

Karl whispered, "As far as I know, the embassies think that you are French in the background, but I don't think so, a part of the French is mainly your own technology. ”

"Haha, we are willing to make friends from all over the world, there is only one premise, and we can't attach conditions." Hu Wenkai was noncommittal.

In the evening, at the nearby Lu restaurant, Hu Wenkai introduced Carl to everyone. Several of them are good people in the business field, and they know that the person who can let Hu Wenkai come forward to entertain them must be distinguished guests. As soon as he heard that it was the counselor of the U.S. Consulate, he immediately pulled Karl into the seat, and Lao Yi shouted: "Bykov, go to the boss's house and bring ten bottles of my Moutai here, I want Counselor Karl to taste Chinese Moutai." ”

Carrotta stopped drying, pointed at Lao Yi and said, "Lao Yi, you have thick skin, that is what you lost in a bet, and now it is Hu Wenkai's wine." ”

Lao Yi waved his hand and said, "The boss's wine is my wine, Bykov, why don't you go here quickly." ”

Hu Wenkai smiled and asked Bykov to get the wine, Lao Yi can adjust the atmosphere.

"Let the boss come over, we want to order Texas grilled chicken, red yarn prawns, nine turns of large intestine, four happiness balls, jar meat, and three sets of duck and squirrel fish that our boss likes to eat." Lao Yi commanded the shopkeeper.

Hu Wenkai stopped Lao Yi: "Wait, Lao Yi, do you often come secretly?" What is the catchy name of the dish? ”

Lao Yi's face was a little red and pointed at Wang Xihai and said, "It was Wang Xihai who said that my sister married me, and I should invite him to eat eighteen meals, and I also brought my mother-in-law and relatives to eat together." ”

Lao Yi is a living treasure, and he believes Wang Xihai without asking others.

There was a burst of laughter in the private room, and Carotta said: "Lao Yi, you have been fooled, it should be Hu Wenkai to eat eighteen meals, and the matchmaker should eat eighteen meals." Wang Xihai is the uncle, there is no reason to eat you. ”

Lao Yi was a little apprehensive and said, "Forget it, anyway, the meat is rotten in the meat pot." ”

Carl is estimated to be a Chinese expert, so he lay on the table with a smile and said, "Lao Yi doesn't do anything, go back and divorce his wife." Let your brother-in-law beg you to eat eighteen meals from him. ”

Lao Yi smiled and said, "I have tracheitis, I don't dare." ”

Even Wang Xihai couldn't help but run outside the door and laughed, and the boss pushed the door in: "Gentlemen, what are your orders?" ”

Carrotta hurriedly said: "After adding some dishes that your store is good at, add some salads and steaks according to the dishes ordered by Manager Yin, and if your restaurant can't do it well, it's best to go to a nearby Western restaurant." ”

Boss Wang knew that the distinguished guests were coming, so he immediately nodded and ordered the waiter to bring good Longjing tea, saying that he would definitely satisfy Mr. Hu by personally cooking the food.

Karl is a person who knows how to report kindness, and after watching the uproar, he said to Hu Wenkai: "Wenkai, I have a suggestion, first of all, if you agree, I will go back and ask for instructions, but this is within my purview." ”

The private room suddenly fell silent.

"Brother Carl, you say, these are not outsiders."

"I propose that Carrotta's Sunday Tea Party be held at your expense in the name of the U.S. Consulate, and that Carrotta be in charge. The name is called the U.S. Consulate in Shanghai Weekend Tea Party, Lao Yi and Carrotta are both Americans, and it is only natural that you are the son-in-law of the United States. ”

Carr went on to say, "This work can also be counted as my performance, and the U.S. consulate is responsible for inviting and organizing people. I will participate as long as I am not busy. In the future, Lao Yi will be regarded as an honorary director of the U.S. Board of Directors in Shanghai, and the U.S. government will be counted as a return for your sponsorship. ”

"Yes, yes, our company will increase its investment in this matter. Thank you dude Carl. Hu Wenkai hurriedly agreed, this matter is really a seamless return.

"Lao Yi, you are the director of Shanghai Beach, which straddles the French Concession and the Public Concession, and you must have a good drink tonight." Hu Wenkai patted Lao Yi on the shoulder and said.

"No hurry, I'll call Carrotta after a brief discussion with the consul next week." Carl knew who he was going to sell to, and it wasn't a fuel-efficient lamp to get into this position.

The dishes were served one by one, and the table was steaming hot and fragrant. Lao Yi and Chen Yongcheng rolled up their sleeves and rushed to Carl. Carrotta, the little madman, opened a bottle of red wine and kept persuading Lao Shi to drink.

The three Americans somehow joined forces to irrigate Lao Shi, the German, and Lao Shi was half drunk and no longer drunk, hiding next to Hu Wenkai and letting Hu Wenkai block the car.

Hu Wenkai saw that Lao Shi was going to get drunk and had to come forward, Lao Yi naturally didn't say anything when he saw Hu Wenkai come forward, Carrota, a little madman, went crazy as soon as he drank wine, and fooled the people at the table and said: "Pour down dear Wenkai today, I will let him invite him to the bar and let him sing, don't be afraid that he will settle accounts with me after the autumn." ”

"Boss, that's what you said, don't deny it when the time comes." Chen Yongcheng immediately jumped up.

"You all wait a minute, I'm going to have a drink with Brother Wen Kai." Carl raised his glass.

"Brother Wen Kai is all in his words" Carl behaved more authentically than Li Congshan, and after drinking the wine of the six four-dollar small wine cups in one sip, he also lifted the bottom.

Hu Wenkai drank six glasses at the same time and put down the wine glass: "Brother Carl eats vegetables, thank you for your love." ”

The Yankees don't have any red tape, and they don't have as much etiquette and rules as the French drinking. Drink in the eyes, there is no routine.

Chen Yongcheng was about to raise his wine glass, Lao Shi stared at him fiercely, Lao Yi glanced at Carl who was tearing Texas grilled chicken, Chen Yongcheng then understood and raised a glass to Carl and said: "Mr. Carl, I toast you, so I'll drink two glasses and you drink one glass, otherwise there will be a saying that you will take advantage of people's danger, I will toast you four glasses and you drink two glasses." ”

"Yes, I'll take advantage of you." Carl readily agreed.

More than half of the wine on the table drank with each other, and the focus was still on Carl. This guy is not stupid and knows what's going on, he keeps looking for Hu Wenkai to drink, and asks Hu Wenkai to promise to go to the bar at night and sing a song.

Finally, Carotta came to Carl and said, "Counselor Karl, I didn't see you drinking with the hostess when the banquet was almost over, and besides, I am still an American citizen, and you are my parents in a foreign land, shouldn't you drink with me?" At least drink a Liuliu Shun like Hu Wenkai. ”

This is definitely not what Carrota can say, Hu Wenkai asked Lao Shi next to him who taught Carrotta to say, Lao Shi said that it must be Wang Xihai.

Karl drank six glasses of wine, and Carotta happily drank six small glasses of wine. Carl and Wanjiu pulled Hu Wenkai and said, "Brother, your wife is definitely not an American, how can an American kill an American." ”

A group of over-drunk people staggered out of the hotel to the bar, and Bykov had already gone to the bar in advance to reserve a table.

Carrotta walked behind with Hu Wenkai's arm in her arms, dangling a small bag in her right hand.

"Wen Kai, the embassy people said that Carl sings and dances very well, and he plays a good guitar like you."

"Baby, you're childish again, and you want to make a fool of your husband."

"How is it possible, if you are the second, no one dares to call the first, Wen Kai, this is what you said." Carrotta shook his arm and snorted.

I haven't come to the bar to relax for a long time, and Hu Wenkai is a little fascinated by alcohol.

It's still the first time to come to the location, this time there is no need for Hu Wenkai to arrange wine, Lao Yi is familiar with fruits and pastries on the road, and has a table full of Latour, Chivas and vodka.
