The interior of the castle in Coney Manor is not as magnificent as Bo Ono thought, but every antique item shows its high price, from the crystal chandelier hanging high on the ceiling to the painting inlaid in a small frame on the porch wall.

When he arrived at the castle's restaurant, Bo Ono saw that several people's tableware was already on the table, and the gold-plated menu on the table indicated that the main dishes for today's lunch were Duscagni beef, foie gras steak, Paris lobster, red wine pheasant, and dessert was Saxony's almond cake.

"It's a lot to say." Bo Xiaoye put back the menu and said to He Ran, "But you may not be full." ”

"Follow the local customs, you will only have one bite now, and I will return to me in a while, so that you can eat Chinese food." After speaking, He Ran took Bo Xiaoye and Zhuo Yining to sit in the guest seats.

At this time, Aubrey came out of the inner hall and said to the three of them, "I'm sorry, Mr. Arthur's costume is a little wrong, please wait a moment, Mr. Arthur asked me to apologize to the three guests, he just wants to show his best side to the guests." ”

"No problem, we can wait, by the way, can you have some refreshments first, I'm dying of hunger." Obviously, the caviar in the car was not enough to fill Bo Xiaoye's hunger.

"No problem, forgive me for my dereliction of duty." Aubrey instructed the waiter to bring a small cake and sweetened black tea from the back kitchen, and after a few bites, Bo Ono said, "The temperature of this cake should have just been made, and this family is really particular." ”

"This Arthur. Porosti should be a very strict person with details, and it will be more troublesome to deal with such a person. Zhuo Yining took a sip of tea, obviously disgusted by the sweetness inside, and put the teacup back with a frown.

He Ran sniffed the teacup, and then put the tea back as well, "I don't want to cooperate with him for a long time, we just have a common enemy now, so the starting point of everything is for their own interests." ”

"Your interest is to buy the Snow Valley Company, but what do the Porosti family and you have in common? First of all, it's certainly not money, and second, even if they help you take out Sylvie, they probably won't put this lab in the hands of a Chinese company. Zhuo Yining is still not optimistic about He Ran's meeting with the Porosti family.

"Not necessarily!" Bo Xiaoye turned the teacup and said to Zhuo Yining, "Everything has its price, and bidders also have their own psychological bottom line, as long as the price reaches the right line, nothing is inappropriate, of course, it depends on how high the price is, and I believe that in this kind of transaction, the bidder who is full of ambition and clear purpose is the strong one who holds the initiative." After speaking, Bo Xiaoye glanced at He Ran, and the other party also gave him an affirmative reply in a plain dark color.

"I'm sorry for keeping you waiting." With a gentle tone behind him, the three of them looked back at the same time, and a well-dressed middle-aged man with meticulous hair and beard was walking from far and near, arranging his collar and cuffs as he went, and when he knew that he was still five steps away, he finished tidying himself up.

"I'm Arthur. Porosti, Mr. Ho Ran, we have finally met. Arthur took the initiative to extend his hand to He Ran as a gesture of friendship.

"Hello, Mr. Porosti, I have heard of you for a long time, and I am honored to meet you today." Maybe He Ran is really arrogant, and now in the face of this top old aristocratic family owner in Europe, the respect in his words can't hide the arrogance in his tone.

"Mr. Ho, my sister Olivia often mentions you, and as far as I know, she rarely admires a man so much." Arthur's incomprehensible smile aroused Bo Xiaoye's curiosity, and he whispered next to He Ran and asked in Chinese, "I said, are you going to be a son-in-law?" ”

He Ran "cut" and said to Bo Xiaoye a little angrily, "His sister is more than ten years older than me, and I can't feed it." ”

Bo Ono and He Ran's whispered exchange caught Arthur's attention, "This gentleman is the friend from China that Aubrey mentioned?" ”

Before He Ran could speak, Bo Xiaoye directly stepped forward to shake hands with Arthur and greeted him, "That's right, I am Mr. He Ran's partner, among the generations in China, I am his eldest cousin, my name is Bo Xiaoye, this beautiful lady over there is his eldest cousin." The problem is that Arthur actually really believed it, and he praised Bo Xiaoye for having such a wonderful cousin and such a beautiful wife Yunyun, and he was so angry that he stared at the side, while Zhuo Yining didn't know whether to be angry or laugh.

While greetings, Bo Xiaoye's stomach peristalsis led to a series of stomach sounds, which made the atmosphere instantly embarrassing, but Arthur's personal cultivation was really good, and it was very timely to greet everyone to sit down and dine, "Ladies and gentlemen, let's start our lunch now." ”

In the first half of the lunch, Arthur had a relatively friendly exchange with He Ran and Bo Ono, and when the lunch process reached the middle stage, the two sides finally began to get down to business.

"Mr. He, the acquisition plan of the Luster Group for Snow Valley Laboratory seems to be being strangled by the joint strangulation of Sylvie Company and Baimu Company, and the situation is not optimistic." Arthur's tone was still friendly, but in his words, he was already sharp.

In the face of the "white gloves" thrown by Arthur, He Ran responded casually, "I had 288 acquisitions in Europe last year, and only 53 were successful in the end, and I have long been used to this situation." ”

"However, your successful project has captured a lot of valuable technology in Europe, which can accelerate the process of your business for a hundred years."

He Ran leisurely ate the steak with brandy, and behaved very indifferently, "Because the price I offer meets their requirements, and you must know, Mr. Arthur, a hundred years ago, Europe was still the world of coal and steel, where did these high-precision technologies come from." ”

Arthur smiled self-deprecatingly, "I'm just making an analogy, and what I want to say is that I know that this acquisition is important to you, and Olivia said that you have pushed off no less than ten other projects for the negotiation of this acquisition, so it can be seen from your attitude towards Snow Valley Labs that you have an urgent need to expand your position in the field of biotechnology." ”

"And what is your attitude towards this?" Bo Xiaoye, who was full of food and drink, put down his knife and fork, wiped his mouth with a napkin, and floated his hands on the table, officially joining the conversation.

Arthur smiled and motioned to the waiter for Bo Onogami to dessert, "My attitude is very clear, I don't want the Snow Valley Laboratory to be acquired by capital outside Europe. ”

Bo Ono ate the cake casually, nodded approvingly at the taste, and then said to Arthur, "Then why don't you buy it yourself?" ”

"Because we can't turn the excellent research results of the Snow Valley Laboratory into something more profitable, even if we buy it, it will only make it worthless, and someone has the ability to do so." As the topic deepened, Arthur's demeanor became more serious than ever.

"Do you think we have what it takes?" Bo Ono continued to ask

Arthur also put down the cutlery in his hand, "Sylvie has this ability, but that's what I don't want to see." ”

"So what?"

"I needed a relatively non-threatening company to complete the acquisition of Snow Valley."
