He even rented such a good car to show off. Who was he trying to impress?
Hence, he was not in the mood to bother with him. He only cared about his food, but he did not lower his ears to listen to Chen Shuo and Li He's conversation.
Chen Shuo was puzzled. "The name Bear Stearns sounds familiar. I think I've seen it somewhere before."
He was an engineering nerd and was unfamiliar with finance and business.
Zhao Meixin could not help but roll her eyes. "It's not far from our restaurant. The Bear Stearns headquarters is right next to the stock exchange building. Tell me, have you seen it before?"
"Sigh, look at my memory." Chen Shuo slapped his head. He suddenly remembered and finished his bowl of soup. He wiped his mouth with a napkin and continued, "You're doing well, kid. You're even able to get in touch with such a tycoon."
Li He said, "You know that everything is being exported now. I'm also doing some foreign trade, so of course, I'm able to get in touch with them."
"What do you do now? Are you still doing business?" Chen Shuo knew about Li He's business. Back then, among his classmates, Li He was the richest. He might not have a lot of money, but he had never seen him stop making money.
Li He smiled nonchalantly. "Me? You don't know yet. I don't have a big name. I'm just doing what I can."
He really did not want to show off. Otherwise, everything would change and the friendship between them would be gone.
"You even drive a Phantom?" Chen Shuo teased. "You call that nothing special? You're just playing with me."
Li He pointed at Ivanov and said, "I told you that it's a friend's car. Do you see that bearded guy? It's his car. I'm staying at his place now. "
This was the truth. Li Laoer's most expensive car was a Volvo. There were a few luxury cars in Hong Kong, but they were all registered under the Dehua Golden Deer Group.
"Your friend is really rich. Compared to his car, my car is not even a fraction of that." Chen Shuo smiled nonchalantly and asked Wu Bo, "I know you're not bad. Old Jiang told me that your printer is very popular in America. What's the brand?"
Wu Bo said, "Polar Printing."
"Is it Polar in English?"
Wu Bo nodded. "That's right. Could it be that you've seen it before?"
Chen Shuo smiled. "I've actually seen it before. The printer that you guys made was advertised at the Detroit Convention Center, right? I saw it once when I attended a conference. If you didn't mention it, I really wouldn't have remembered. It is directly opposite the Detroit Convention and Exhibition Center, and it has both Chinese and English signage. Only Chinese restaurants have bilingual signage, and technology companies don't have it. I was wondering if it is a company from China, but I didn't expect it to be you. I remember that position very clearly. It used to belong to Fule Xerox. I was also surprised. Which company could take their position? It must be at least a few million a year, right? "
Wu Bo smiled bitterly. "How can I do it for a year? It's only for a few days at the exhibition. It's just a lot of money. Just five or six days would cost more than a hundred thousand."
His heart ached just thinking about it.
Chen Shuo patted his shoulder. "You've struck it rich, kid."
Wu Bo glanced at Li He. Seeing him snicker, he was angry. He used Li He's catchphrase and said, "I'm working for an unscrupulous boss. Don't treat a socialist boss like a capitalist. He's ruthless when he exploits me."
"Come and drink." Li He smiled and raised his glass. He didn't want the two of them to continue on this topic.
Halfway through, he didn't want to drink anymore. This eggnog was really tasteless. He got up and called the waiter to pay the bill. At such a private gathering, Ivanov and the others naturally knew what was important and didn't dare to pay the bill for him.
"What are you doing?" Chen Shuo pressed Li He down and insisted on paying himself.
Zhao Meixin accidentally saw the bank card that Li He took out from his pocket. She then took a closer look. She had never seen a black bank card before. She guessed that Li He was just being polite.
"Don't, there's no point in bickering with me." Li He was determined not to let Chen Shuo suffer this loss. This wife of his couldn't be taken advantage of. He couldn't leave any evidence that could be used against him. It seemed like he was purposely here to freeload.
Although he still didn't bring money when he went out, his bank card was always with him. He could swipe it wherever he went. He had a few bank cards now. They were all made for him after he came to America.
In China, he didn't even have a bank card. He only had a savings passbook, which was still in the hands of He Fang.
"Old Chen, you're all classmates. Don't disappoint him. Fighting over a hundred dollars, are you trying to make a fool out of yourself?" Zhao Meixin was even more disdainful. She felt that Li He's vanity was endless. She couldn't help but speak up. She wanted to see Li He swipe his card. It would be embarrassing if he couldn't.
Li He took advantage of Chen Shuo's daze and threw it to the waiter.
When the cashier finished swiping the card and gave the receipt to Li He to sign, Chen Shuo came back to his senses. He sat down helplessly. "You're so boring."
Zhao Meixin looked at the receipt. The account number was very short. It was extremely short. She didn't have the time to count the number. She had been in the catering business with her parents for dozens of years. She had been influenced by what she saw and heard. Naturally, she had come into contact with rich customers. However, there weren't many who had this kind of card number. They were all either rich or respectable.
How did the world change so quickly?
She had only heard that the mainland had developed rapidly in the past two years. She didn't think that there would be such a rich person here.
Li He smiled. "I'm treating you to a meal. What's wrong with that?"
He put the card into his pocket. He felt something. When he took it out, there was actually some cash. This surprised him. He looked at the child who was drinking fruit juice at the side. He smiled. "Here, uncle didn't bring you any gifts before coming. Go buy some candy."
It was still the old Chinese etiquette. Etiquette couldn't be abandoned.
Chen Shuo was anxious. He snatched the money from the child's hand. "What do you mean by this? This is."
He saw that Wu Bo was about to take out money as well. He hurriedly stopped him. "I'm going to get anxious if you continue like this."
Li He said, "Don't bother about what I mean. I have two children. How can you lose out in the future? Just do it casually in the future. "
He refused to take back the money.
Wu Bo also stuffed the money into the child's hand. "Don't think that you can take advantage of me. Haha."
"That's so embarrassing." Although Zhao Meixin said that, her eyes still lit up as she looked at the two stacks of money. She roughly estimated that there was at least seven or eight thousand. As for returning the gift? That would be a joke. It was unknown whether they would return to China in the future!
The group of people left the restaurant and said their goodbyes at the entrance.
Zhao Meixin had a new discovery. All of Li He's so-called friends seemed to be following his lead. She saw that the group of foreigners were all respectful towards Li He. This made her a little curious about Li He again.
She looked at the luxurious motorcade in the distance and nudged Chen Shuo's arm. "Do you think this classmate of yours is really rich?"
Chen Shuo sighed. "Who knows? He's just taking care of our reputation. He didn't say much, but he's definitely not bad. Since when did you give so many gifts? They didn't even blink. "
"That's true." Zhao Meixin nodded in agreement. "You should keep in touch with them in the future."
Chen Shuo said unhappily, "Then why do you still have such an attitude?"
Zhao Meixin said aggrievedly, "Who knows if they're here to take advantage of us?"
"Sigh, I can't get through to you." Chen Shuo pulled the child into the car.
