Mixed in the last days as a salted fish

Chapter 217 The Former Richest Man in the Federation

Two days later, Zhang Hao finally got in touch with Donald Sterling, once the richest man in the Federation, through the relationship of Mayor Chen of Zhucheng, and the two parties made an appointment to meet in Zhucheng.

At noon, according to the address provided by Mr. "The Richest Man", Zhang Hao and Zhou Jianneng finally arrived at the destination after detours.

This is a rather hidden private restaurant.

As we all know, the current catering industry is almost wiped out, but this restaurant is open well, which is amazing.

In general, there are two possibilities for this situation:
One is that this private restaurant has an official background and has a special purpose; the other is that the owner of the restaurant is not an ordinary person, and can steadily obtain various ingredients through special channels.

After getting off the car, Zhou Jianneng looked at the two-story building in front of him, and couldn't help but wonder:

"Did we come to the wrong place? Are you sure it's here? Why isn't there even a signboard?"

Since it is a restaurant, there must be a signboard, right?
Captain Fang hurriedly compared the addresses in his hands, shook his head and replied, "Mr. Zhou, the place is correct. This is No. 98 Haiyan Road."

"Don't care if it's true or not, you'll know if you ask in the past?" Zhang Hao finished speaking and straightened the bow tie around his neck.

Hearing this, Captain Fang hurried over and knocked on the door, and soon the door opened from the inside, and it was a young girl who opened the door, quite pretty.

"Hello, is this 'Miao Liuxiang Private Kitchen Restaurant'?"

The young waiter didn't answer directly, but asked a question directly: "Do you have an appointment?"

"Yes, I booked Box 2, and the person who made the reservation is Mr. Sterling. I wonder if he has arrived?"

The young waiter quickly clicked on the tablet, checked the reservation record, and asked quickly:
"Excuse me, are you Mr. Zhang?"

Zhang Hao came over and nodded: "I am."

The young waiter immediately opened the door, bent over and made a "please" gesture:

"Three please, Mr. Sterling is already inside, half an hour earlier than you."

"Thank you." Zhang Hao took out a few big bills and handed them to the other party: "This is your tip."

The young waiter quickly took the tip. Visible to the naked eye, the whole person became more enthusiastic, and even his voice became softer.

Arriving at the door of the box, the waiter immediately stepped forward and knocked lightly on the door:
"Mr. Sterling, your guest has arrived."

As soon as the voice fell, the door was opened by someone.

"Zhang Dong? Let's finally meet."

There were four people in the room, besides Sterling himself, there were two men and one woman.

Looking at the familiar face in front of him, Zhang Hao also returned a big smile:

"Mr. Sterling, hello!"

Sterling waved his hand: "Just call me Sterling, you don't have to look outside."

"Sterling, this is Mr. Zhou Jianneng, who is not only my elder, but also my partner."

Zhang Hao pointed to Zhou Jianneng and introduced.

"I have been attracted to the name for a long time, and I finally saw the real person."

Zhou Jianneng shook hands with the other party solemnly.

"Mr. Zhou, nice to meet you!"

Sterling withdrew his right hand, and then introduced his own personnel. The three were executives from Faraday, a vice executive president, and two project directors.

Coincidentally, one of the directors, Wu Liming, was born and raised in Zhucheng.

After some courtesies, Zhang Hao asked the waiter to lead Fang Captain to the dining hall for dinner. After all, Lao Fang is only a bodyguard, so it is not suitable for him to stay.

In less than ten minutes, the food was served, which should have been prepared by the chefs in advance.

The standard of food is not bad. There are ten dishes and two soups in total. There are Chinese food and Western food. It may be that the ingredients are not rich enough, and the seafood is still the main food on the whole.

In addition, what I drank was red wine, which was brought by Sterling himself. It is said that it has been treasured by the family for many years.

Everyone rested their stomachs for a while, and then they couldn't wait to get to the point. To be precise, it should be Zhang Hao who seemed more anxious.

"Scott, what did you think about what I said on the phone earlier?"

"Mr. Zhang, there is no problem with cooperation, but can we change the way of cooperation?"

Scott wiped his mouth with a napkin.

"Can you be more specific?"

Scott smiled slightly: "To be honest, those technical patents are the core competitiveness of our company, and it would be too prodigal to just sell them."

"You mean... want to make a comeback?"

Zhang Hao couldn't help frowning.

"In your words, I have just reached the age of knowing my destiny this year, and I can work for another 20 years. Retiring so early will definitely not let my behavior style."

Sterling explained with a smile.

Zhou Jianneng heard the words and couldn't help interjecting: "Sterling, your company can use technology to invest in shares, but you can't take too many shares, and you can't take away the management rights. We didn't buy BYD to make wedding dresses for you."

"Make a wedding dress? What do you mean?"

It was the first time Sterling had heard the term.

Wu Liming on the side hurriedly explained:

"Boss, a wedding dress is a wedding dress. The idea of ​​making a wedding dress is that poor girls have no money to buy a wedding dress, but in order to work, they have to work hard to make wedding dresses for others.

Later, it generally refers to the achievements or things purchased with hard work, but in the end it became someone else's. "

"I understand." Sterling nodded knowingly, "A while ago, I learned a poem, in which there are two lines 'poor body and clothes, worrying about the charcoal and wishing the weather', are they the same? mean?"

Zhang Hao immediately gave a thumbs up: "Sterling, your Chinese is very good."

Bilingual education in the Commonwealth has only been popularized in the last three to forty years. At Sterling's age, being able to speak standard Chinese is considered adequate.

Sure enough, successful people must have their own advantages.

"Chinese is broad and profound, and the more in-depth research it becomes, the more fascinating it becomes. To be honest, if I hadn't been unable to let go of Faraday, I would have devoted myself to studying Chinese."

"Sterling, don't worry, you can actually learn Chinese at work, and there is no conflict between the two."

Zhang Hao shook his head secretly.

The other party's words were obviously just a polite remark.

"Cough..." Zhou Jianneng saw that the topic was getting farther and farther, and quickly interrupted: "Sterling, let's get down to business. What I just said is our bottom line. I hope you can understand."

"Mr. Zhou, if we invest in technology, how many shares can our company get at most?"

Sterling hurriedly asked.

Zhou Jianneng couldn't decide, so he could only turn his head and look at his eldest nephew.

Zhang Hao received the other party's gaze, lowered his head and thought for a while, then stretched out two fingers:

"20.00%."

After all, the name of a person is the shadow of a tree.

Although he is not interested in management rights, he doesn't want to be taken advantage of by others. The other party is a seasoned business legend, so it's better to be cautious.
