"Why can't I go in?" Loudspeaker was blocked at the door. He glared at the two men who were blocking the door. He had already taken out his cellphone, ready to call someone in at any time.
"Mr. Li, don't you trust me?" A short woman greeted Li He with a smile. She extended her hand and said, "Let's get to know each other. I'm Chen Lihua."
She was wearing slippers and an extremely long blouse. The hem of the blouse was crisscrossed and knotted together, and the two earrings on her ears were shining.
Li He waved his hand at Loudspeaker, indicating for him to wait at the door. He then said to the woman in front of him, "I don't think we know each other."
"But I know Mr. Li." Chen Lihua waved her hand and said, "Mr. Li, please sit."
Then, she took the glass that the waiter handed over and opened the red wine on the table. She poured a glass of wine for Li He and another for herself. Finally, she waved her hand in all directions and asked everyone to leave.
After he left, the door at the entrance was closed.
Li He sat down. He was probably thirsty. He picked up the glass and took a sip, not caring whether it was red or white wine.
It was already very impressive that this woman could find out his background. It had even moved him. Who else knew about his background?
He suddenly realized that he had thought too simply about many things. Perhaps he had unknowingly become the scenery in the eyes of others, and many people had already been watching him silently.
He lit a cigarette and didn't speak. He just looked at the woman in front of him through the smoke, wanting to see what she wanted to do.
Suddenly, she lowered her voice and said, "Mr. Li, we are actually the same kind of people."
Li He was shocked, but he still nonchalantly flicked the ash off his cigarette and asked expressionlessly, "You have a penguin account too?"
Chen Lihua was stunned and said, "Mr. Li is indeed open-minded. I did hear that there is a kind of penguin in Antarctica that is very furry and cute. There should be one in the zoo in Hong Kong. "
Li He breathed a sigh of relief. He stopped thinking about penguins and just asked with a smile, "Why are we the same kind of people?"
Chen Lihua smiled and said, "Because all unexpected wealth can make us happy."
"Unexpected wealth?" Li He could only pretend not to understand.
"Mr. Li should be familiar with Su Ming, Fu Biao, and Pan Song."
"What does Miss Chen want to say? Please continue." Li He remained calm and collected.
Chen Lihua smiled and said, "I'll just call you Comrade Li. You don't have to do that. We are all from the mainland. We should help each other. It's fine for me to treat you with a drink. You don't have to be so nervous. "
She stared at him unreservedly and had no intention of looking away.
"Comrade Li" Li He said. Of course, you'd better call me Old Li. We are from the same hometown, but there are many people from the same hometown in Hong Kong. At least nine out of ten tycoons in Hong Kong are from the mainland. "
Chen Lihua continued, "I've been paying attention to Mr. Li since 1983. At that time, you and I were the only ones buying red sandalwood and antiques in the capital. You and I were the ones who were doing the most. It's not surprising that I wanted to find out more about Mr. Li. Besides, your subordinate, Su Ming, has clashed with me more than once. It's hard for us not to pay attention to each other. "
"That's true," Li He was calm, but corrected him, "Su Ming is my friend, not my subordinate."
Chen Lihua didn't mind and said, "There's one thing I admire about you. I've only seen you buy, but I've never seen you sell. I'm sure you know that the market price has increased by more than a hundred times. Mr. Li, you have a good eye. Now I regret selling it so early. "
Li He shook his head and said, "I'm only interested in collecting. I'm not interested in making money from this."
Now, he just wanted to keep it at home to show off. As for the money he earned from selling cultural relics, he no longer cared about it. Just as Old Man Lee had said, it was easy to sell it, but it was difficult to get it back.
Chen Lihua refilled his empty glass, then raised his own glass and said, "Mr. Li, cheers."
With that, he drained it in one gulp.
"Cheers." Li He only took a sip. He wasn't used to red wine, so he couldn't drink it either.
"See, you and I are kindred spirits. I drink red wine like it's tea. I don't have time to taste it. I'll just drink it into my stomach." Chen Lihua continued, "Mr. Li, I know a lot about you, including your clothing and electronic watches, but I don't understand a single thing about you in Hong Kong. I'm just curious why Shen Daoru, who is also in the real estate business like me, has more money than me. Why does he have the ability to save the Hong Kong market? Recently, he was even able to support the national debt of China, which is 500 million US dollars! Today, he even worked with Goldman Sachs. And it's said that Mr. Yu Dehua has already signed a development agreement in Pujiang. It's really a big deal. This is what I admire the most about Mr. Li. But Mr. Li's actions have made people look down on you. You're too timid. "
"Why do you think so?" Li He finally laughed. He thought that this woman knew everything. He just wanted to be an invisible person and not let anyone disturb him.
"I thought you were as bold as me, but I didn't expect you to be so timid. You have so many protective charms on you."
"No, it's just out of my enthusiasm."
"Mr. Li, it's you who strengthened my confidence in China's development. Let me toast to you. I don't think I'll be at a disadvantage if I follow a smart person like you. "Chen Lihua drank the red wine in his glass in one gulp, as if he was drinking cold water.
She wiped the red wine from the corner of her mouth with a napkin and continued, "Mr. Li, I want to buy all your red sandalwood furniture. What do you think? You can name the price."
"I'm sorry. Do you think I'm short of money?" Her request was within Li He's expectations.
She seemed to be mentally prepared. If a person like Li He could easily agree to other people's requests, he wouldn't be able to achieve what he had today. She thought too much and couldn't help but sigh. She was proud, proud that there weren't many people with her ability to achieve such results in such a short period of time.
However, compared to Li Heyi, she realized that she was too complacent. The two of them started at almost the same time, but her Fuhua Group couldn't even compare to the Golden Deer Group, let alone the Yuanda Group.
"Then let's talk about cooperation. I think it'll be beneficial for both parties."
"Please say it." As long as he didn't dwell on the antique furniture, Li He could talk about anything else.
Chen Lihua said, "I want to cooperate with Yuanda Group on real estate. Yuanda Group's business seems to be only satisfied with buying and selling. To put it bluntly, it's just speculating on real estate. It doesn't have much success in the commercial development of land. And Fu Hua's advantage is in the development and operation of commercial street projects. Our core is high-end real estate. Of course, I also admit that our weakness is capital. What Yuanda Group doesn't lack is capital, right? "
