Chapter 312: Deception
With a chuckle, I have to say that the first impression of Hebrew was indeed quite good, so I naturally accepted his invitation.
What surprised me a little was that I didn't expect that there was a special welcome room here, with famous paintings on the wall and blankets on the floor, which looked quite magnificent.
And the first impression of this welcome room is that his host is very cultivated and not short of money, which is secondary.
At this moment, I have to say that I seem to be a little relaxed because of the psychological hints given by the environment.
It's not a good start, but at the moment, I didn't notice it.
Because I was attracted by Hebrew's relatable smile.
"I don't know, what business does Miss Jiang want to talk about?"
I didn't talk nonsense to HebrΓ©e and went straight to the point: "I want to book a table table at your hotel." β
"When, how long?" Hebrew didn't show much emotion, and then asked.
"About a week later, seven days in a row." As I spoke, I pondered for a moment before continuing: "I'm going to charter half of your hotel." β
Hebrew's expression of surprise when he heard my words open his mouth like a lion's mouth, but then he returned to normal, and said lightly.
"It's really a big deal."
At this moment, as I confessed my aim, the part of Hebrew's soul that belonged to the merchant was revealed, and a hint of cunning flashed across his face.
"So what is Miss Jiang's offer?"
I laughed, unabashedly.
I have seen Hebrew's tricks thoroughly, and if I really follow his words at this time, the initiative will naturally be in his hands, then I will have to be led by the nose by him, and I will inevitably be deceived by him.
This is obviously looking down on people, thinking that I am a woman and have no brains, probably in his eyes, I am a lover who is supported by a rich man, and he has nothing to do to squander his money.
That's underestimating me.
"Let's show the carriage and horses, what is your bid, set a price first, and then we will cut slowly, I have time to accompany you." As I spoke, I narrowed my eyes slightly and looked sharply at Hebrew.
The conspiracy was discovered, and Hebrew was not embarrassed, he smiled and dissolved, and said lightly.
"It's me who underestimated Miss Jiang, so I won't come to these vains."
Hebrew spoke, suddenly shutting his mouth, but he raised his hand and raised a finger.
"Renminbi?"
"It's dollars."
"Impossible!"
I almost didn't think about it, so I blurted out directly, looking at Hebrew's expression, eleven thousand, how could that be possible!
He meant 10 million dollars! Combined, it is more than 60 million yuan, is this a robbery? My income this time is not 60 million!
"With all due respect, Mr. Hebrew, do you treat me like a fat sheep to be slaughtered?"
"The price is fair!" With an innocent expression, Hebrew defended himself: "Think about it, what I opened is a five-star high-end hotel, and the price is already very expensive, plus you have to charter half a hotel for seven consecutive days, do you know how much I can earn in these seven days if it is full?" β
"Not ten million anyway." I blurted out my debut without thinking.
"But I can also rent you a hotel to rest!" Hebrew had a big loss on his face: "Look, I don't know how many people you will call at that time, so I will directly give you a fixed price, can't you still see my sincerity?" β
"Even if you rent a hotel for seven days, it definitely doesn't add up to 10 million!" Again, I emphasize.
But when he heard me say this, Hebrew shook his head and sighed, "Little girl, you are still too young, do you think that there is no other expense for this?" β
When I heard Hebrew's words, my heart moved, and I vaguely realized something, and I followed his words and asked.
"That's the cost."
"Protection money." Hebrew said, the corners of his mouth outlining a treacherous arc: "Don't think that the security here is good, if some places are not well managed, the money that should be spent is not willing to be spent, and then you will lose more money." β
I knew this was the case, but I still knowingly asked, "Protection money?" To whom? β
"Of course, it's the local emperor, don't look at us here on the surface, but in fact, secretly, it's dangerous." Hebrew said, but persuaded me with a bitter look: "Miss Jiang, it's not that I want to trick you, but you don't understand the market on our side!" β
After listening to Hebrew's words, I deliberately pretended to be groaning, but in fact, I was already laughing stupidly in my heart, I am afraid that the local protection money collector is also the organization to which Webers belongs, right?
I already had Webers to back me up, and with this red seal tiger skin, who do I need to be afraid of?
Thinking about it, I shook my head, and smiled helplessly, I opened my mouth and just wanted to explain it to Hebrew, but he spoke before me.
"As long as Miss Jiang agrees to this price, I will definitely help you settle everything and give you the greatest help within the scope of my ability."
Listen, I don't know why, I was secretly a little funny in my heart, he didn't even give me a chance to explain, so what else could I say?
Shaking my head, I stood up and sang with some regret: "It seems that our business cannot be negotiated." β
Saying that, I pulled Su Lingcui and wanted to leave, anyway, there are many hotels around, so why should I bother with this one in Hebrew.
And, in fact, I'm also testing him to see if there's any point of bargaining.
I counted three two one in my mind, and when I counted to one, as expected, Hebrew opened his mouth to keep it.
"Miss Jiang is slow, the rules are dead, but people are alive, it's a big deal that I can lose some money, and the price is cheaper."
Hearing Hebrew's voice, I turned my head with a smile, squinted my eyes and asked with a smile, "So now, how much do you offer?" β
"This, it depends on Miss Jiang's sincerity......" Hebrew said meaningfully.
I'm not a fool, and with a little brainstorming, it's not hard to think that when Hebrew kept him before, it was when he was about to put away the check, so what he meant now should be that it depends on how much deposit he paid.
After pursing my lips slightly, and after a moment of silence, I replied, "I can pay half of the deposit first, and the other half will be made up when the matter is over." β
"That's fair!" Hebrew clapped his palms, and the smile on his face was sincere.
"For the sake of Miss Jiang's sincerity, I will endure the pain and take a step back! Seven million, no matter how many people you come, I will always give you the best service, what do you think? β
When I heard this, I shook my head secretly, thinking that Hebrew would accept it when he saw it, but I didn't expect that he was so insatiable.
I sighed in disappointment, I had no interest in continuing with Hebrew, it was a waste of time.
"Forget it, I guess, I'd better go find someone else, with all due respect, you here, I can't afford to rent it."
As I spoke, I took Su Lingcui's hand and prepared to leave without looking back, but when I walked to the door, there was a Hebrew voice behind me.
"Miss Jiang, please wait a moment."
"Why, could it be that Mr. Hebrew has changed his mind?" I looked at Hebrew with playful eyes.
However, Hebrew cleverly avoided my question, and instead of answering me, he changed the subject: "Perhaps, when you see the size of the hotel in my name, you will not think that this is too much money." β
"Could it be that your hotel is made of gold?" I was also amused by Hebrew's words, even if there is a gap in the hotel in the world, how big can the gap be?
"It's pretty much it, I'm sure you'll feel the value of it after you've seen it." Hebrew replied with a faint smile.
I was suddenly intrigued by Hebrew, and after thinking about it, I felt that there would be nothing to lose by going and seeing, and the choice was still in my hands anyway.
At this thought, I made up my mind, and I said to Hebrew, "Then let us go." β
β¦β¦
Under the leadership of Hebrew, we finally came to a luxurious place, and I have to say that as a theocratic country, the religious color of the architecture here is still very strong.
Following in Hebrew's footsteps, I realized that the hotel that Hebrew had leased to me was actually located directly near St. Peter's Basilica.
By this alone, I suddenly understood that I dared to speak for the sake of Hebrew, because he did have the qualifications.
It's a Gothic complex, and when I walked in, the interior was so luxurious that all I could think of was the word "splendid".
"How's it going, now you think my price is fair, right?" Hebrew, who had shown me around, asked with a smile.
"Hotel, guesthouse, protection fee, these three things add up, and it is indeed this price." I nodded, not refuting the Hebrews.
"So now, what does Miss Jiang think?"
I smiled at Hebrew's words, and the answer was still that one.
"I'm sorry, I refuse." Fearing that Hebrew would not understand why I was so quick to make a decision, I explained to him: "Blame me, blame me, blame me for not making it clear, in fact, I lease these things just to temporarily find a place for my clients to eat and stay." β
"I forgot to introduce myself, I am the president of the only tourism company in the Vatican."
