273 Compete with Margaret in martial arts
Margaret loved almond tofu and lotus cake made into petals.
If Charles, Blair and others hadn't come in advance, this chick would have wanted to hint to Chu Xiangqian to have another copy.
Chu Xiangqian originally planned to go to the first floor to greet the guests, but he didn't want Margaret to directly grab his arm, and the two waited at the staircase on the second floor.
And this also made Ge Bai, Chief Secretary Hader, Jockey Club Executive Director Bridge, Charles, Blair and Superintendent Hahn, and other six ghosts, keep muttering in their hearts.
Although she didn't go to the 1st floor to greet her, Margaret stood with Chu Qianqian at the staircase on the 2nd floor, as if they were both masters tonight.
After some politeness, they sat down in different seats, and soon all kinds of dishes were served in order.
Deer belly pot, fried deer liver, pineapple pork, sweet and sour tenderloin, kung pao chicken, mapo tofu.
For Ge Bai and others, it is not particularly novel, but the Western-style presentation makes people's eyes shine.
Bridge, the ghost, even asked Chu Xiangqian on the spot if he intended to open a Chinese restaurant specifically for European and American customers?
Chu Xiangqian didn't hide it, after all, judging from his own eyes, the presentation of tonight's dishes would not be worse than what he had seen in many videos in his previous life.
As for the taste, seeing that Margaret and Ge Bai and others don't talk much, you know that they like it very much.
The staple dishes of fried rice and fried dumplings are also much more delicious to Margaret than the bread she has eaten for more than 20 years.
The last desserts, almond tofu and lotus cake, were unanimously praised by Ge Bai and others, and Chu Xiangqian was relieved.
As for why Cantonese pastries were not used, Chu Xiangqian guessed that Ge Bai and the others had been on Hong Kong Island for many years, and they must have eaten them a long time ago, so they changed to desserts from Su Province.
After the meal, Bridget pulled Chu forward and asked, "Chu, are you interested in working together once?" ”
Chu Qianqian glanced at the ghost, "I'm not short of money, and I'm not short of good cooks." ”
Bridge smiled indifferently and said, "But if you want to open a restaurant in a city other than London, such as New York, Paris, and Rome, there is a lack of strong partners." ”
Chu Xiangqian looked at Bridge in surprise, and secretly said that this ghost guy's business has already involved the United States, France and Idali?
If you think about it carefully, not to mention Paris and Rome, just opening a restaurant in New York is still talking about petty fights.
If you want to become bigger and stronger, without the protection of local forces, there will be countless troubles waiting for 100%.
However, if you really want to open the restaurant to New York, it is better to find a local force to cooperate with you than to find Bridge.
But when you think about it, it's just a restaurant, and the forces in New York really don't want to pay attention to you.
Cooperating with the Chinese forces, Chu Xiangqian was a little distrustful of them.
As for opening a restaurant in London, Chu Xiangqian would not be stupid enough to let Margaret come forward all day long just for this little thing.
Instead, you should use the restaurant to make friends and deepen the relationship with the 6 ghosts present.
looked at Duan Hongchun and saw that he was busy nodding.
Chu Xiangqian said with a smile, "Gentlemen, 50% of the shares of the new restaurant belong to me and the backbone restaurant, and the remaining 5% will be discussed by yourself, how about it?" ”
The 6 ghosts immediately became interested, but in a few words, Charles and Hahn were two, and each took 5%.
The remaining 40% was divided equally between Ge Bai, Blair, Bridge and Harder.
Chu Xiangqian also helped Duan Hongchun get the right to operate the new restaurant.
And unless Chu Xiangqian and the ghost guy feel that he is not suitable to continue to run the restaurant, then the right to operate the restaurant will always be in the hands of the Duan family.
Of course, as a shareholder, you naturally have the right to supervise the operation of the restaurant and give reasonable opinions.
As for where to open it, Ge Bai directly proposed to open one in Central first.
Not only are there many foreigners, but there are also many fake foreign devils. A large number of banks, financial institutions and shopping malls are also gathered.
The flow of people is large, and the spending power is also the highest.
Chu Xiangqian immediately demanded that after the new restaurant was chosen, he would directly buy the property rights.
Then I remembered that in the movie Zhang Tianzhi, the ghost flour merchant named Owen Davidson has a Western restaurant in Central.
Moreover, the area of that restaurant is not small, and it is still a small four-story building with one upper and lower floors.
If you buy the property right and keep it for appreciation, it is an investment with a very high rate of return.
Ge Bai and the others don't have much opinion on this, after all, 8 shareholders, even if the investment in the new restaurant is 500,000 or 600,000 yuan, their shareholders are only 350,000 Hong Kong dollars.
Chu Xiangqian wanted to win them over, and the six of them were actually willing to make friends and show favor to Chu Xiangqian.
After all, it is only a cooperation of thirty or fifty thousand yuan, and you can gain Margaret's favor, and this transaction is definitely a good deal.
As for whether to make money or not, everyone is not stupid, as long as you keep the taste and service tonight, there is absolutely no possibility of losing money.
Moreover, buying the property rights of a restaurant is itself a means of preserving its value.
Even if you really lose money, there is the property right of the restaurant, at most thanks to more than a dozen labor, decoration, equipment and other expenses.
This amount of money is distributed among 8 people, and it is not a problem at all.
Sending Ge Bai and the others away, Chu Xiangqian and Duan Hongchun didn't say a few words before they found that Margaret was giving themselves a look.
I immediately understood that this chick was urging her to return to the Peninsula Hotel as soon as possible.
After laughing and talking for a few more minutes, Margaret mistakenly thought that he was avoiding suspicion, and happily beckoned to Chu to get in the car and leave.
On the way to The Peninsula Hotel, Chu Xiangqian said to Zhang Tianzhi, "Brother Zhi, do you remember the seafood restaurant we met for the first time?" ”
Zhang Tianzhi will probably never forget the first meeting with his boss in his life.
Nodding hurriedly, he listened to Chu Xiangqian continue, "You go to Yuan Hua in a while, and let him and Tony Jia secretly stare at the Western restaurant opposite the restaurant."
I heard from a friend that the restaurateur, Owen Davidson, was secretly spreading flour to a few small local forces.
If it's true, then kill him, and by the way, get his restaurant and the money he's earned over the years. ”
When Zhang Tianzhi heard that Owen Davidson was a flour merchant, he naturally would not hesitate at all.
"Understood, I will make it clear to Yuanhua."
Chu Xiangqian thought about it, and it was better to be cautious.
After all, the ghost guy is 1.98 meters tall, weighs at least 240 pounds, and is full of muscles.
Not only is the ability to resist blows super strong, but Gree's ability is not weak.
There is also collusion with a ghost superintendent over there in Central.
As soon as he said this, Zhang Tianzhi immediately became vigilant, "Boss, why don't I do it with Yuanhua and Tony?" ”
After thinking about it, Chu Xiangqian used his pocket as a cover, took out 10,000 Hong Kong dollars from the carry-on storage compartment and was still in the passenger seat.
"Buy a car, and the rest should be used as the expense of this mission. After the deed is done, your benefits are indispensable. ”
After speaking, he said with a smile, "Why don't I help you buy a two- or three-story house on Huitong Road, where we live, as a reward?" ”
Zhang Tianzhi's breathing was messed up after hearing this, and he was busy stabilizing his mind, he wanted to say no, he only needed two or three years, and he could buy a house just by his salary.
But before the words came out, I couldn't help but think that if I didn't want to, the boss might not be able to rest assured.
Thinking of this, he said with a smile, "Then thank you boss." ”
Chu Xiangqian laughed, "Tell Tony and Yuanhua that as long as the matter is done, I will also reward him with a house." ”
The 2-storey building on the first line of the day is only about 20,000.
3 sets are only 60,000 yuan, but Owen Davidson has been in the flour business for many years, and there may be hundreds of thousands of dollars in cash alone.
Coupled with the small building where the restaurant is located, the tens of thousands of yuan allocated to Zhang Tianzhi and the three of them are just a small amount of money.
"By the way, if any of the ghosts from Central are involved, call me right away. Since Ge Bai, Blair, Charles, and Hahn are the four ghosts who have benefited from me.
If I'm in trouble here, I should let them help. ”
Zhang Tianzhi was suddenly relieved in his heart, and at the same time admired Chu Xiangqian.
When he arrived at the Peninsula Hotel, Chu Xiangqian thought about it, took out the M1911 and two magazines he was carrying from under his armpit, and put them in the passenger seat.
In Zhang Tianzhi's surprised gaze, he said, "Brother Zhi, this is not a martial arts competition, you can solve it with a gun, or don't move your fists."
Besides, I have never had a good opinion of the flour sellers, and I hate the people who sell flour on our territory, and I don't need to follow the rules with them. ”
Zhang Tianzhi nodded, and there was a warmth in his heart. knew that Chu Xiangqian was worried that the three of them would suffer.
"Don't worry, boss, Yuanhua is a master of guns. Tony's strength is no worse than mine, and the three of us have no problem dealing with a ghost. ”
Chu Xiangqian naturally believed in the strength of the three of them, after all, although Zhang Tianzhi was beaten by Owen Davidson at the beginning of the movie, he still turned defeat into victory in the end.
But there is a halo of the protagonist in the movie, and Chu Xiangqian gave the gun again and let the three of them act together.
If you can't figure it out, you're joking.
Patting the roof of the car, Chu turned forward and entered the hotel.
I went back to my annual luxury suite, I wanted to take a shower, but I didn't want to hear the doorbell as soon as I took off my suit and shirt.
Looking through the cat's eyes, I saw Eve Zheng, a chick in a lady's suit, standing outside the door with an expectant expression on her face.
He opened the door and pulled the woman into the room.
Close the door, push the person against the wall, and press your own hands against the wall.
The young woman, who was staring at her breathing and began to grow short, asked, "Are you on the night shift tonight?" ”
Eve Zheng hesitated for a few seconds and nodded slightly, but Chu Xiangqian said unexpectedly, "I won't marry you, and I won't even admit that you are my girlfriend, do you want to continue?" ”
These words were suddenly like a basin of cold water, extinguishing the fire in Zheng Eve's heart.
In the final analysis, in addition to being attracted by Chu Xiangqian's handsome appearance, having money and looking forward to marrying into a wealthy family is the biggest desire in her heart.
It's a pity that Chu Xiangqian didn't want to get into trouble because of a woman, and what he said just now was just to let her recognize the facts.
If you're still willing to do this, then you don't mind having a friendly match with her.
"Excuse me, excuse me, Chu Sheng."
Chu Xiangqian smiled and nodded, "If you want to solve your physiological needs, I can help." ”
"No, no need", after speaking, Zheng Eve opened the door with a red face and left quickly as if she was running away.
Chu Xiangqian didn't have any regrets, after all, in the presidential suite upstairs, there was a princess waiting for him.
Close the door, wash up, and check the situation in the presidential suite through the view of the.
Half an hour later, when only Margaret was left in the suite, Chu Xiangqian took advantage of the night to easily climb two floors.
I tried to pull the window, and not only did I pull it open quickly, but I also saw Margaret hiding under the covers, staring at the window.
In order not to scare her, Chu Xiangqian showed his head and said hello, and then rushed into the bedroom a few times.
Then let the fly around, and make sure that no one noticed, before going to the big bed.
Pulled the cup and went to bed, and was hugged by a hot delicate body.
After more than an hour, although he was still beaten soft, he could barely parry a series of attacks.
When I slept until dawn, I suddenly felt refreshed.
Thinking of Chu Xiangqian's carved muscles and 6-pack abs, Margaret couldn't help but hide in the quilt and laugh.
When the Countess of Bryn knocked on the door and came in, intending to bring out the clothes and jewelry she was wearing today, the first thing she saw was the open window.
immediately frowned and looked at the big bed, but while blaming in her heart, she didn't hold on.
After all, Margaret is 26 years old, and after the royal women are over 25, the degree of freedom is actually quite high, and even in marriage matters, she has a lot of autonomy.
Suffice it to say that, Margaret herself had to take into account the world's vision and the opinion of the church.
If you want to get married, you can choose aristocratic unmarried men, and again you have to be English.
Called Margaret a few times, and saw that this little girl's skin was white and red, and she sat up and yawned with a coquettish expression.
It's as charming as it can be.
Countess Brynn, who was watching, was stunned for several seconds.
But she didn't think much about it, even if Margaret and Chu Xiangqian's behavior was a little close, as long as they didn't have a relationship, they didn't even care about Margaret's sister and mother now.
After getting up and washing, dressing up and having breakfast, Margaret asked the head of the bodyguards, "Arthur, did Chu leave the hotel?" ”
The royal agent named Arthur nodded, "At 8:01 in the morning, Mr. Chu drove out of the hotel alone. I looked from the observation position, and Mr. Chu must have gone to a newspaper office a few hundred meters away.
I heard that this newspaper has 70% of his shares, do you need me to continue to investigate, Your Highness? ”
Margaret shook her head hurriedly, if that guy knew that he asked people to check him, there would definitely be a conflict.
Chu Xiangqian went to the newspaper office, naturally to promote the movie.
By the way, I asked if there was any progress in the newspaper to buy land.
When I arrived at the newspaper office, as soon as I walked into the president's office, I saw that Fei Fei, a chick, actually came to work so early, not to mention, and was cleaning diligently.
And on the table, there is also a cup of steaming coffee.
