Chapter 1385 Progress
It’s night.
Mandarin Hotel.
At this moment, the hotel lobby is brightly lit, and the idle employees are gathered together in groups of three or two, chatting quietly, or hiding in the corner and secretly falling asleep.
“Ta-ta-ta-ta!”
Suddenly, there were footsteps, and Adong, who had just returned the car to the parking lot, walked in with a bowl of noodles with beef brisket and pig blood.
Some employees heard the news and went away, but when they saw that he was the only one who came back, the handsome guy who spent a lot of money was not there, and they were immediately confused.
The young lady at the front desk looked behind him and said doubtfully: "Eh? Brother Dong, why did you come back by yourself? Didn't you go to pick up Mr. Chu? Where is he?"
" There is also a ghost Mr. Chu." Ah. Dongba chewed his beef brisket, walked towards her, and said with a curl of his lips: "Mr. Chu disliked the unlucky situation here and moved to the Hilton."
As he spoke, he came to the front desk and asked Chu Heng He handed over the hundred dollar bill he was given.
"Here, this is the money Mr. Chu gave me. Let me pay the fee."
"Oh, Mr. Chu isn't here either." The young lady took the money in disappointment and pouted. Calculating the cost, he complained: "I knew he was coming. I even put on makeup today. I didn't expect to see anyone. He is missed so much."
"Then do you miss his money or his people?" ?" asked an old man next to him with a wink.
“Of course I have thought about it all.”
The young lady rolled her eyes at him, neatly counted out a wad of money and gave it to A Dong, with a gloomy look on her face: “What’s the use of thinking about it? They won’t even come. If this continues, Mr. Wang and Mr. Li probably won’t be able to survive, let alone Mr. Chu. They will only have to think about ghosts in the future.”
Her words made the faces of the employees in the lobby change color. They couldn't help but tremble and complained to her.
“Please, please don’t talk nonsense in the middle of the night!”
“Just be careful, Amei is looking for trouble!”
“It’s suddenly so cold! ”
“By the way, I heard that the general manager has already found a heavenly master and is going to do a ritual tomorrow.”
At this time, Hong Kong people were quite superstitious and highly respected the theory of gods and ghosts.
……
The next day, morning.
Chu Heng, who was still a little unaccustomed to the jet lag, lay softly on the bedside, carefully reading the recent newspapers he asked the hotel staff to deliver, and understanding that during his absence, Big and small things happening on Hong Kong Island.
But it seems that things are still the same.
Strikes are still going on, and demonstrations occur from time to time. The Hong Kong government has yet to come up with any useful solutions, and the people are still in panic and anxiety. Therefore, a large number of businessmen who are disappointed with Dai Linzhi do not hesitate. He sold his family property and traveled to Southeast Asia. As a result, the business environment of Hong Kong Island suffered an unprecedented impact, and the real estate industry suffered an avalanche.
"Wow!"
After reading for a long time, Chu Heng threw away the newspaper, rubbed his swollen temples tiredly, and thoughtfully took out a cigarette and lit one. Smoking one puff at a time.
He does not understand the history of Hong Kong Island at this stage, but he knows that Hong Kong Island will soar in the 1970s and 1980s.
So, the trough at this time is only temporary.
This is a good opportunity for Chu Heng. He is now making ambitious plans to buy a few pieces of land or properties at bargain prices after acquiring the Mandarin Hotel.
I just don’t know if this land is easy to get.
“Ding ding bell.”
At this time, the hotel’s intercom phone rang in the room. Chu Heng quickly got up and answered the phone, and learned that it was the hotel he had entrusted to acquire the Mandarin Hotel project. After Moritz Martin, the deputy manager of EM Company, came over, he asked the staff to send him up.
Seeing this, the bored Cen Hao on the side quickly asked: "Master Chu, after meeting everyone later, let's go out for a walk?"
"Sure."
Chu Hengying After saying that, he stood up, straightened his clothes, went to the living room in the suite, and waited quietly.
Not long after.
There was a knock on the door, and the waiter came with someone.
Seeing the donor, Martin stretched out his hand expressionlessly, with a serious expression, as if the person standing in front of him was his creditor: "Hello, Mr. Chu."
"We meet again. , Mr. Martin”
Have had contact with this guy before. Chu Heng knew that he was just like this, so he didn't care. He shook hands with a smile, invited him to sit down in the room, and then asked: "What can I drink?"
"Coffee is just fine. Okay." Martin sat on the sofa upright, his expression as old-fashioned as his old-fashioned attire.
"Cen Hao, call the front desk and bring two cups of coffee." Chu Heng nodded, gave instructions to Cen Hao in the back room, sat next to Martin, crossed his legs casually, and asked : "Let's talk first, how is the project going?"
"We have completed the preliminary preparations and have now entered the negotiation stage...This is the evaluation report and investigation report. Please take a look at it." As he said that, Martin took out a stack of information from the document bag and placed it in front of Chu Heng. Then he continued.
“Originally, we had negotiated a price of HK$130 million with Land Group, but a death occurred at the Mandarin Hotel a few days ago, which had a great impact on the hotel’s business, so now The negotiations have been temporarily terminated. We need to calculate the loss caused by the death to the hotel before restarting. New negotiations have begun."
Hearing this, Chu Heng looked at the documents and asked, "How much do you think the loss will be?"
"No less than five million. Maybe even more, because we still don’t know how long it will take for this impact to fade,” Martin said matter-of-factly.
“So many!” Chu Heng raised his eyebrows, and after thinking about it, asked: “How many competitors do we have now?”
"One family, or not."
The corner of Martin's mouth raised, a rare change of disdain in his expression, and he said: "Before this, our only competitor was Cheung Kong Holdings, but they only held the It was just a pick-up mentality. When they saw our determination to win the Mandarin Hotel, they decisively chose to withdraw and invest their limited funds in other areas.”
“But this is not the case. Then a company that never sets suddenly appeared and revealed its intention to acquire the Mandarin Hotel. However, our investigation results show that this company is most likely a helper brought in by the Land Group to raise prices. , so our idea is to talk to them slowly until they can't wait anymore and choose to give in."
"As expected of me, I can even find out these things!" Chu Heng was quite surprised. road.
“Of course, we are professionals in this area.” Martin raised his chin proudly: “So please trust our judgment.”
"Haha, let's talk slowly."
Chu Heng smiled, and then asked some other things. It wasn't until more than an hour later that Martin hurriedly took the piece of chocolate he had brought from Washington. leave.
