Li He naturally wouldn't decline, and everyone entered the hotel.
Chen Dadi chose a large room and sat down.
The waiter brought the menu over. Chen Dadi took it and passed it to Chen Yousheng. "Brother, you choose."
"No, Brother Li should do it." Chen Yousheng wanted to pass the menu to Li He.
Li He was too lazy to push it around, so he gave it back to Chen Dadi. "You decide. Make it according to the hard dishes."
"Okay." Chen Dadi took the menu and went to make arrangements. Soon, the liquor, beer, and cold dishes were served.
Chen Yousheng opened the bottle of liquor and praised him. "Brother, you are so cool. Come on, let's make something real. Do you like it?"
"Yes, I will." Li He was happy to meet someone from the same hometown. "Let's drink first, then toast to you."
He didn't look for any dishes to go with the wine. Instead, he poured a cup of wine, raised his hand, tilted his neck, and gulped it down. Then he poured two more cups of wine and drank it all in one gulp.
The first three glasses of liquor were called drinking first. Usually, the host would drink first, and then toast to the host. Of course, the three glasses could be drunk slowly, but Li He wanted to have a good time, so he drank them all at once.
"Brother, I am so sorry." Chen Yousheng did not look embarrassed at all. He poured himself a glass of liquor and said, "Don't drink with me. I will drink three glasses first."
He drank three glasses of liquor without much effort. Then he picked up a piece of peanuts and said, "Good liquor is good. It does not hurt the throat at all."
"Then let's drink again." Li He raised his glass again.
"Yes." Chen Yousheng drank his glass again. Seeing Dong Hao drink three glasses of liquor, he filled his glass again, raised his glass, and said, "Brother, let's drink."
"Brother, I will not drink if you stand." Dong Hao stood with him out of courtesy.
"Then let's drink." Chen Yousheng lowered the glass and drank it in one gulp.
Before the hot dishes were served, the three bottles of liquor were emptied.
Li He smiled. "Brother, I admire you. Every profession has its own master."
His tone was sincere. After all, it was not easy to start an unpopular business.
"These are all skills that have been passed down from generation to generation. If I only know how to do this, I'll just barely not starve to death. If I lose it, I'll have to starve to death." Chen Yousheng stopped drinking and continued, "Brother, you sound like you know the ropes. Is there any machinery factory that you can recommend to me? "
Li He shook his head. "There's no need to go through so much trouble. Go to Jiaozuo, Anyang, Nanyang, or Luoyang. There are many machinery factories there. As long as you're willing to pay, there are many who are willing to customize it for you."
"We're quite close to Zhengzhou," Chen Lichao, who had been sitting silently at the side with his glasses on, said.
"It's the same as the provincial capital of Anhui." Li He expressed his disdain for these two provincial capitals. Although Zhengzhou was one of Holland's old industrial bases, it could not be compared to Luoyang, Pingxiang, Jiaozuo, Anyang, and other cities. It was only because it was a provincial capital that they had to put on airs.
It was the same in northern Anhui. Most of the industrial bases were located along the Yangtze River.
"Then I'll go to Anyang. I'm familiar with Anyang." Chen Yousheng made the final decision.
Li He continued, "Are you looking for a joint venture?"
"Yes, brother. What do you have in mind?" Chen Yousheng's eyes lit up. He raised his glass and patted his chest. "Take care of me. I won't forget about you."
Li He thought for a moment. "I'll find you an American company. You can talk to them about the details of the joint venture."
He remembered that Xiang had just acquired the printing equipment factory under the American company Vinger. It had been dismantled and only an empty shell was left. It could be used as waste.
"That's great. Thank you very much. I won't say much." Chen Yousheng once again drank the wine in his glass.
Li He said to Zhang Bing, "Give Brother Chen the number of Xiang."
Zhang Bing wrote down the number, tore the paper from the notebook, and handed it to Chen Yousheng. "Just call this number."
"This is the number of Hebei?" Chen Yousheng's heart was pounding. There were countless scams these days. It was impossible to guard against them. He had to be careful.
Li He did not explain.
Zhang Bing said, "Because this American company is run by a Chinese."
"Oh." Chen Yousheng put the paper into his pocket, but he was still suspicious. He had been in the underworld for many years. How could he easily believe that something good would fall from the sky? People from the same hometown usually did not discuss with each other.
The dishes were served.
"Let's eat." Li He smiled and did not say anything else.
After the meal, Chen Yousheng went to the front desk to pay the bill while he went to the toilet.
The cashier girl said, "Sir, your bill has been paid."
"Who paid?" Chen Yousheng did not see Li He and the others coming out.
"Brother, this meal is on me." Chen Dadi happened to come over.
"How can I accept this? You guys are running a business. How can I let you pay?" Chen Yousheng insisted and took out a stack of bills from his pocket.
Chen Dadi smiled. "Let's put it this way. Mr. Li is the boss here. How can I take the boss's money?"
"What? He's the boss? "Chen Yousheng did not believe it.
"Of course." Chen Dadi said seriously. "I'm just a branch manager. I don't have the ability to be a big boss."
"I've seen the signboard of the Four Seas Hotel in other places. Are you all the same?" Chen Yousheng had been to many places. He could basically see the Four Seas Hotel and Four Seas Hotel in every big city.
Chen Dadi pointed to a light blue logo at the top of the hall and said, "If it's this logo, then there's no doubt about it. We are a national chain, and we all have the same boss."
"Oh." Chen Yousheng was a little shocked. Li He was too young. He could not believe it.
Chen Dadi smiled and said, "Mr. Li's business is not limited to the hotel. Do you know what the tallest building in China is?"
He had seen Chen Yousheng's attitude during the meal. Li He did not care about it, but it did not mean that he did not care about it.
"Brother, you are looking down on me. I still read the newspaper. Is it called the Golden Deer Building? I heard that they invested 500 … 600 million USD. Wow, that's amazing. "He probably drank too much and his brain could not keep up with what he was saying.
"That is also Mr. Li's business." Chen Dadi was happy to see Chen Yousheng's shocked mouth. "The lady sitting inside is the chairman of the Golden Deer Real Estate, Wu Shuping."
"Aiya!" Chen Yousheng only reacted after a while. He slapped his thigh and said, "No wonder that lady looks so familiar! No wonder I saw her somewhere before! So it was in the newspaper! "
Then he looked at Chen Dadi's face and felt that something was wrong. He quickly corrected him and said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. It's Ms. Wu Shuping."
Chen Dadi just shook his head and smiled. He turned around and left without saying anything.
Chen Yousheng was shocked by Chen Dadi's words. When he returned to the private room, his attitude towards Li He and Wu Shuping changed again.
"Fellow countryman, let's hang out more often in the future. I still need your help." After he clinked glasses with Li He, he raised his glass to Wu Shuping and said, "Miss, I'm sorry. I haven't had a toast with you yet."
"Then I'll drink tea instead of wine."
