Chu Xiangqian had invested too much in opening a five-star hotel in London before, and the return on investment was indeed not as high as opening a hotel on Hong Kong Island.

Only then did he give up the idea of opening a hotel on the Knightsbridge side.

Now there are Bridges and these people who are anxious to join the gang, and if they take out three and a half million pounds alone, they can raise three or five million pounds casually.

With another £1 million to lead the pitch, the project will be easy to do.

And as a project initiator, his shareholding ratio will definitely not be small.

There is a cheap advantage, Chu Xiangqian will naturally not let go.

After thinking about it, he said, "Give me one night, I'll make an investment budget, and we'll meet at the Peninsula Hotel tomorrow night?" ”

"No problem", Ge Bai and the others were overjoyed.

This group of people did not trust Chu Xiangqian's investment vision very much.

But they also know that if Margaret and Norton are willing to hold banquets in the hotel from time to time when they open a hotel in London, their popularity will be opened up all of a sudden.

With a famous hotel, it's hard not to make money.

After saying goodbye to Bridges and the others, Chu Xiangqian took Linda directly to the Peninsula Hotel.

As for Linda's father, brother, and others, after the auction was over, they said hello to Chu Xiangqian and went back to the hotel first.

However, before these people left, Chu Xiangqian could see their loss, disappointment, and envy.

After all, this auction amounted to a total of 1.21 million pounds, which alone was more than all of them combined, and they had more cash.

And Chu Xiangqian is only 20 years old, and Singer's eyes when he looks at Chu Xiangqian are full of envy, jealousy and worship at this time.

When they arrived at the hotel, Chu Xiangqian told Zheng Sufen that he wanted a private room to play cards tomorrow night, and took advantage of no one to pay attention, and hugged the woman and kissed her a few times.

Zheng Sufen was both excited and afraid of being seen.

But the more this happens, the more exciting it becomes.

When Zheng Sufen was confused by the kiss, Chu Xiangqian let her go.

When I got to Bagwo and Singh's room, I chatted for a while, looked at my watch, and took them to have a backbone.

When they arrived at the place, Bagwo and Singh and others still felt backbone at first, more than a level worse than the Peninsula Hotel.

But when he saw the waiter, Duan Hongchun and others dressed in British style and service, they immediately became restrained again.

Waiting for a beautiful waiter who can speak English in the restaurant to introduce the 16 dishes of the Quanhu Banquet, as well as 8 pre-dinner and post-dinner desserts, a group of local rich people repeatedly exclaimed that the dishes were beautiful and delicious.

Duan Hongchun is a veteran, and when introducing the dishes, he needs the waitress to translate into English.

But outside of his words, he hinted several times that the four or five tigers consumed by the restaurant every month were all hunted by Chu Xiangqian's hunting team.

And it is also implied that these tigers are all Bengal tigers.

As long as Bagwo and the others are not stupid, they know that the hunting team in Chu Xiangqian's hands is not only well-equipped, but also has a network of connections in South Asia.

Dealing with someone like him who has armed forces under his name is basically a person who will be cautious and fearful.

If it weren't for Alyssa sitting next to Chu Xiangqian, Linda, the chick, was also pulled by Elisa and sat on Chu Xiangqian's left, and Bagwo and his gang would definitely not be able to let go of this meal.

As for the question of whether the two sisters were taken down by Chu Xiangqian, to be honest, since Bagwo, who was a father, couldn't control their sisters when they were in their hometown, they couldn't control it even more at this time on Hong Kong Island.

And subconsciously, Bagwo and Singh actually prefer their sisters to go out and explore.

In this way, there is no need to prepare a rich dowry because they are married.

When Elisa came to Hong Kong Island, her greatest wish was to save enough money for her dowry.

Therefore, the more Chu Xiangqian let their sisters be in the limelight, the more the sisters will always stay by his side.

Not to mention that Chu Xiangqian also promised to give them a commission.

The relationship between lovers and collaborators is likely to be more reliable than a simple custody relationship.

The next morning, when the matter of food was formally discussed.

It only took ten minutes to negotiate a purchase agreement of 440 Hong Kong dollars a ton of rice, and the grain was also transported to Hong Kong Island by Bagwo.

5,000 tons is 2.2 million Hong Kong dollars.

Then Chu Xiangqian began to introduce salmon and salmon.

The former is 2,560 Hong Kong dollars a ton, and the latter is 2,080 Hong Kong dollars a ton, but Chu Xiangqian is also responsible for sea freight, and he is responsible for any accidents before arriving at the port of Paradipu in Odisha.

The first batch of marine fish, including 300 tonnes of salmon and 150 tonnes of salmon per month, is equivalent to ordering all the marine fish produced in the novice village every month.

Chu Xiangqian quickly realized that the price of 2,560 Hong Kong dollars, that is, 160 pounds, was definitely low.

But if you think about it, the price of £160 per tonne is already the wholesale price of seafood merchants on Hong Kong Island.

The purchase price of local seafood merchants on Hong Kong Island will definitely be lower, and 160 pounds a ton is already slightly higher than the market price.

After all, the more you want, the cheaper the truth is common all over the world.

30 tonnes of salmon at HK$768,000 per month. 312,000 salmon per month for 15 tons.

It adds up to a total of only 1.08 million Hong Kong dollars, and 5,000 tons of rice is 2.2 million per month.

In the future, he will have to pay 1.12 million Hong Kong dollars to Bagwo and them.

Although the Celestial Empire is short of food, it will only be two or three years, but 13.44 million Hong Kong dollars a year is earned by Indians, and Chu Xiangqian is not happy to think about it.

Of course, if the grain is handed over to the Celestial Empire, Chu Xiangqian will naturally not give it in vain.

But not making money from Ah San has already made Chu Xiangqian unhappy, let alone letting them make money all the time.

The contract was officially signed, and the matter of Standard Chartered as the settlement bank was recognized, Chu Qianqian thought about it again and again, and still mentioned the matter of Arabian horses.

After Bagwo and the others watched yesterday's auction, they actually envied it for a long time.

But what surprised Chu Xiangqian was that in just one night, the group turned their attention from the Arabian horse to the sweaty horse.

Chu Xiangqian thought about it for a while, and soon understood that it was most likely because of the slippery sweaty horse.

The 7 Indians who can call the shots plan to cooperate to buy one male, two females and three sweaty horses back, and Chu Xiangqian guessed that they wanted to breed sweaty horses by themselves when they heard it.

If you are lucky, the 3 horses selected from a group of sweaty horses can be the same as yesterday's sleek horses, then you will make a lot of money.

Even if they don't pick the track horse, the 70,000 pounds for a stallion will only be 30,000 pounds each.

Even if a horse dies of illness in the middle of the journey, the damage is not too large.

Not to mention that in their hometown, food is actually cheaper. Otherwise, the price quoted to Linda would not have been 3.2 pence a pound at the beginning

Three sweaty horses are 210,000 pounds, which is equal to 3.36 million Hong Kong dollars.

And Chu Xiangqian has to pay 1.12 million Hong Kong dollars every month before and before every month, which is equivalent to the business between Chu Xiangqian and these Indians in the first three months, only the exchange of goods is required.

However, for the safety of the business, both parties agreed to pay Standard Chartered a 5% guarantee fee.

Previously, Standard Chartered's guarantee fee and settlement fee added up to 7%, but Chu Xiangqian has always bargained, and this time both sides gave them a guarantee fee.

After talking for a while, 5% was finally determined.

5% of 2.2 million is 110,000, and Chu Xiangqian did not hesitate at all.

Bagwo and the others hesitated, but the people at Standard Chartered were not so talkative.

With hints and even coercion, the faces of Bagwo and the others were inevitably difficult to see.

Bagowo rolled his eyes, looked at Chu Qianqian and said, "Stark, we use the grain to offset the guarantee fee that needs to be handed over to Standard Chartered.

How about you pay for us? ”

Chu Xiangqian and the people of Standard Chartered, as well as Huang Weixin and Huang Dazhuang, were stunned at the same time, looked at each other, and secretly said that these Indians didn't know if they were really stupid or too stingy.

Chu Xiangqian agreed without hesitation.

Don't look at it like Chu Xiangqian suffered a small loss, but in fact, the guarantee fees on both sides were all paid by Chu Xiangqian, and he got more food.

Second, this money was paid by Chu Xiangqian to Standard Chartered, and Standard Chartered will inevitably be biased towards him in the future.

After all, 220,000 a month is 2.64 million Hong Kong dollars a year, which is already a lot of income.

It can even be said that it can definitely account for a few percent of the annual net income of the Standard Chartered division of Hong Kong Island.

In the future, Chu Xiangqian will definitely be a major customer that Standard Chartered will focus on.

After the contract was signed, Chu Xiangqian gave Linda and Alisa 50,000 Hong Kong dollars, and asked the two of them to take a large group of people to go shopping to buy gifts and bring them back to their hometown.

As for rosewood, 5 tons is only 80,000 Hong Kong dollars, Chu Xiangqian didn't pay attention to it at all, and let Linda handle the business by herself.

And with the big head of grain, I believe that India will not lose a lot for a dozen tons or dozens of tons of red sandalwood.

Then he muttered to Lu Anjie of Standard Chartered, who was also the person in charge of Standard Chartered personally designated by Chu Xiangqian, "Help me pay more attention to what is lacking in Orisha."

Otherwise, I would have to pay them 1.12 million Hong Kong dollars every month, which makes me feel unhappy when I think about it. ”

Lu Anjie was stunned, he had already seen that the pair of sisters were already Chu Sheng's people.

Unexpectedly, this young rich man turned his head and wanted to make money from the other party.

But if you think about it, exporting goods to Odisha is just legitimate business.

As long as he is not playing tricks and scoundrels, no one can accuse him.

"Understood, Chu Sheng, I will inquire about the lack of goods in Orisha as soon as possible."

After speaking, he took out a document bag from his briefcase, "Chu Sheng, we have already helped you buy the 1 million pounds of gold you asked for to buy."

However, it will take about a month for the gold to be shipped back to Standard Chartered Bank on Hong Kong Island. ”

Chu Xiangqian was overjoyed, 2.424 tons of gold, which can be regarded as his own backhand.

At the same time, it is only for the outside world to see.

With this gold as a guarantee, others do business with themselves, and they don't need to worry too much about running out of money.

Chu Xiangqian took the document bag and looked at it for a while, and was sure that Standard Chartered guaranteed 2.424 tons of gold, not 1 million pounds of security and insurance, and then he was relieved.

The price of gold will definitely rise in the future.

The value of 2.424 tons of gold will become 10 million pounds.

Even when the pound falls, it rises to almost 60 million pounds at its peak.

After Chu Xiangqian read the guarantee agreement, he thought about it and handed over the confirmation letter to Barrister Huang.

Five or six minutes later, Huang Weixin, who had watched it twice, nodded, "Chu Sheng, no problem." ”

Chu Xiangqian took Huang Weixin's pen and signed.

Immediately, he handed over the 1.14 million pound check he received today to Huang Weixin, "Rhubarb, you and Manager Lu go to the bank to exchange the check into my special account." ”

Then he looked at Lu Anjie, "I still have 430,000 pounds in Standard Chartered before, and after this 1.14 million pound check is credited, I will buy another 1 million pounds of gold." ”

"This, this", Lu Anjie stammered after hearing what he said, and nodded again and again after a while, "Don't worry, Chu Sheng, we will handle it properly." ”

Even if Chu Xiangqian buys another 1 million pounds, he still has 570,000 pounds in Standard Chartered.

This amount of cash and gold reserves, converted into Hong Kong dollars, has reached 41.12 million Hong Kong dollars.

Lu Anjie dared to say that even the cash flow of the top ten Chinese billionaires on Hong Kong Island may not be as much as Chu Xiangqian.

After separating from Lu Anjie, Chu Xiangqian went to the racecourse and drove a trailer out.

After walking around outside, with as monitors, and making sure that no one was following him, he pulled 10 sweaty horses back to the stable of the horse farm.

3 horses are ready to be traded to Bagwo and others, and the other 7 horses, Chu Xiangqian plans to keep them in the stable first, and when the opportunity is right, let Sanjiang water charter plane, or sea transport to the mainland.

In the evening, Chu Xiangqian went back to Fei Fei's side, and when this chick saw him coming back, she hurriedly got him slippers, and then rushed to the kitchen to cook.

On Linda and Alyssa's side, after sending all the relatives and friends back to the hotel, Alisa returned to her new home in Yau Ma Tei and complained while lying on the sofa.

"Linda, are we dazed?"

Linda shook her head helplessly, the limelight was indeed out, but she used more than 100,000 Hong Kong dollars given by her own man before and after.

But even so, my father and brother were not grateful at all, but felt that everything was as it should be.

Linda sighed, "My dear, you should have seen the thoughts of your father and brother a long time ago, otherwise you would not have left your hometown and come to this strange place like me." ”

Alyssa nodded exasperatedly, "I'm not going to take them to play and shop tomorrow." ”

Linda thought about it, and she didn't want to accompany her father and Xingge in her heart, but in the end, she still cared about Chu Xiangqian's business.

However, this time she made up her mind that she would not pay a penny for anything that her father or Xingge had a crush on.

Early the next morning, Chu made a phone call to Qianqian and told her to take Beggwo and the others to the horse club to see the sweaty horses.

When a group of Indians arrived at the stable, they saw Chu Xiangqian getting 10 more sweaty horses, and their eyes were shining.

According to yesterday's auction price, 10 sweaty horses are more than 900,000 pounds.

The unit price they paid for the horse was £70,000. This alone made Bagwo and the others feel that they had taken a big advantage.

It took a while for Bagwo and the others to choose three horses, but they wanted to transport them away, let alone the stables.

Even Linda herself didn't agree.

It is clearly said that unless the grain arrives on Hong Kong Island, or spends money to buy it first, no one wants to take any sweat and blood with them.

Linda even threatened to hold a second auction on her side if they didn't keep the contract.

Auction off all of these horses.
