Chapter 271: Afternoon Tea
Each parallel world has minor differences, and no two things are exactly the same, and the same is true for money.
For example, in the world of "Tangshan" and the world of "Five Lucky Stars", there are 100 dollar bills, and the heads printed on them are also Franklin, and both of them look almost the same.
But Franklin in the world of "Tangshan" is a brilliant Mediterranean. And Franklin in the world of "Five Lucky Stars" seems to have been specially effected by Shen Yong's detective, and his black and thick hairstyle has nothing to do with being extremely smart.
is obviously the same Franklin, but because of the different hairstyles, he is divided into two worlds. So, hairstyle is really important, and hair loss is really a big crisis in life.
Ahem, let's get down to business.
Therefore, the currency of other worlds cannot be used in this world, only gold jewelry is hard currency, whether it is the ancient plane or the modern plane, these gold jewelry are valuable things.
Of course, Huang Xiaohao can't take out all the gold jewelry to get cash, only a small part of it. Coupled with the money he earned through copying the public, it should be enough for the starting capital of the career blueprint.
"In order to monetize gold jewelry, you have to find some way. I remember Rankes saying that he knew some people who did this. It seems that I have to go to him for help in this matter. ”
Huang Xiaohao remembered that he had taken away Chen Chao and He Wen's two gang bosses for two million before, and Lan Kesi once told them that he knew some contacts and could launder these two million black money, and he could also help him realize and launder these gold and jewelry.
Although Huang Xiaohao felt that it was a bit strange to find Lan Kesi, the chief inspector of the anti-gang group, to launder money, he was not in a hurry about this matter, and what needed to be taken seriously now was the signing and negotiation with the newspaper in the afternoon.
If you want to sell the fantasy that you have put in the newspaper for serialization before, and now it has become popular, at a good price, and even sell the other few copies in your hand that have not been published after copying them out, Huang Xiaohao naturally has to work hard.
When it comes to English afternoon tea on Hong Kong Island, the first thing that comes to mind is The Peninsula Hotel.
As soon as you enter the hotel, you will be amazed by the magnificent lobby: the magnificent baroque architecture, the lavish decorations, the exquisite tableware, and the elegant live music...
To be sure, this grade of The Peninsula Hotel is indeed world-class, even top-class.
But the man and woman who had just stepped into the door did not have that amazing mood.
Huang Xiaohao is still immersed in his career blueprint, and he doesn't have the kind of mind to appreciate these. Besides, although the Peninsula Hotel is of high grade, he is still well-informed from the 21st century, and he will not be amazed by this grade of hotel.
And Guan Jiahui beside Huang Xiaohao, just looking at the corners of her mouth that she can hang a soy sauce bottle, and she still keeps an arm's length or so from Huang Xiaohao, you know that she is not in a stunning mood.
After all, she has eaten afternoon tea at the Peninsula Hotel many times, and it is not new at all. In comparison, Huang Xiaohao beside her made her care a little more.
Originally, with her relationship with Huang Xiaohao, it would never have been possible to accompany him to the Peninsula Hotel for afternoon tea.
But at noon today, I learned that Huang Xiaohao was going to sign a contract with the newspaper alone in the afternoon, Zhong Chuhong was worried that Huang Xiaohao didn't understand some details of the law and suffered a loss when signing the contract, so he specially asked Guan Jiahui, who is a lawyer, to come and take a look at the contract and help him check it.
Although Guan Jiahui has only known Zhong Chuhong for a long time, she is very close to each other, and she is already a very good sister in her heart, plus Teresa Teng also helped to say a few words on the side, Guan Jiahui can only nod and agree, and accompany Huang Xiaohao to the Peninsula Hotel.
It's just because of Huang Xiaohao's teasing of her last night that she is still a little unforgettable, so she specially kept a distance from Huang Xiaohao, and she kept a cold face throughout the whole process, and she didn't give him a good look at all.
Who knew that she had a cold face and didn't say a word, but Huang Xiaohao didn't even look at her, he just lowered his head and pondered along the way, thinking about his plan to make a fortune, and didn't even say a few words of apology to her.
Even on the way here, it was Guan Jiahui who drove Teresa Teng's car and drove Huang Xiaohao over.
Guan Jiahui misunderstood this, the reason why Huang Xiaohao let her drive was just because she didn't have a driver's license.
"What else did you say last night about love at first sight? Now the two are alone, but they don't even look at it. ”
Guan Jiahui doesn't know why, she cares so much about Huang Xiaohao's attitude towards her, she already knows that Huang Xiaohao is indeed Zhong Chuhong's boyfriend, and even her fiancé, there is no possibility between her and Huang Xiaohao.
But seeing Huang Xiaohao completely ignoring her general attitude along the way, Guan Jiahui still felt a lot of loss and depression.
The Peninsula Hotel's afternoon tea is of a high quality and relatively inexpensive, so even if it's not a weekend, it's still full. The Peninsula Hotel is on a first-come, first-served basis and does not accept seat reservations, so the queue has already been exhausted for a long time.
After Huang Xiaohao entered the door, he noticed this situation. And the time he made an appointment with the newspaper staff was three o'clock in the afternoon, which was still about half an hour away.
He looked up at the seats on the left and right, and didn't see the figure of the editor-in-chief of the newspaper, it seemed that his side came a little early, Huang Xiaohao didn't care, and was about to line up to the end of the line, but suddenly heard a voice sounding beside him, with a hint of surprise and surprise.
"Jiahui, why is it so coincidental, you also come for afternoon tea?" Huang Xiaohao turned his head to look, only to see a mustache in his thirties wearing glasses, who was greeting Guan Jiahui beside him with surprise on his face.
"Billy, why are you here?" Guan Jiahui responded, but her face was a little embarrassed.
The man in front of her is one of her many suitors in the past, the most urgent among them, and the successful man who best meets her criteria for choosing a mate.
Originally, in Guan Jiahui's heart, he was also a little moved by him, as long as he insisted for another month or two, it would not be difficult to completely impress Guan Jiahui and successfully chase her.
However, at this moment, when he met Belgium here, Guan Jiahui didn't know why, and he didn't have the slightest intention in his heart, even a trace of embarrassment appeared on his face, and he turned his head to look at Huang Xiaohao beside him, as if he was afraid that he would misunderstand, and directly introduced:
"Mr. Huang, this is Billy, a client of our law firm, I have known him for less than three months, just ordinary friends. Billy, this is Mr. Huang. ”
After saying this, Guan Jiahui reacted, why did she explain her relationship with Billy in front of Huang Xiaohao so nervously, obviously she not only has nothing to do with Huang Xiaohao, but also has a holiday~!
