Chapter 52: Casting stones to ask for directions?

That afternoon.

Xian Yaowen estimated the time and came to the Hong Kong and Kowloon Hotel Staff Association on Tai Nan Street with gifts.

I asked someone and was directed to the rooftop of the building where the Trades Union Congress is located.

On the rooftop, Ye Wen was sitting comfortably on a bamboo and rattan chair, holding a cigarette in one hand and a pitch-black object in the other hand. He rubbed one side of it with his thumb and took a closer look. The one he is holding is the Tianjiu Pai.

On the other side, several young people stood in several rows, practicing split sparring moves one on one.

Xian Yaowen stood at the top of the stairs and took a few glances, then walked up to Ye Wen and hugged him, "Master Ye."

"It's you." Ye Wen looked up at Xian Yaowen, "I thought you weren't coming."

"Sorry for keeping Master Ye waiting for so long."

Ip Man nodded noncommittally, "How many people want to learn boxing?"

Xian Yaowen put the gift in his hand forward and said, "It's just a small gift, please accept it, Master Ye."

With the same words as last time, "I'm interested," Ip Man took the gift and placed it on the broken table beside him, and asked again: "How many people are learning boxing?"

Xian Yaowen did not answer, but said to himself: "I have two new buildings under construction in Li Uk Estate. You can live in them before the year. I plan to use one to live in and the other to rent out. The one for renting out Each floor of this building is 1000 feet, and there is a rooftop on the roof, which is perfect for use as a martial arts training venue.

When I came up just now, I inquired with the staff here, and I roughly know Master Ye's current situation. If Master Ye doesn't mind, you can move to my place, and the fourth floor and rooftop can be given to Master Ye. "

Ye Wen was very moved when he heard this, "Mr. Xian, how do you calculate the rent?"

"It can be rented or bought. If you rent it, the price will be 200 yuan a year, and the price will not increase in five years; if you buy it, the price will be 3 yuan. You don't have to rush to give the money. You can pay it off within three years."

"Mr. Xian took advantage of me so much, I wonder how Ye should repay him?"

"Teach a few people to learn boxing. They will not regard themselves as disciples of Wing Chun. They will neither make Wing Chun famous nor discredit it, but Master Yip will teach them real Kung Fu. By the way, the tuition fee will be calculated separately, and Master Yip will decide the amount of receivables. .”

Ye Wen's pupils shrank and he asked in surprise: "Does the person who learns boxing have an unusual status?"

"Master Ye, you may have misunderstood. I just came to Hong Kong from Bao'an. My current identity is a pure businessman. I had no special identity when I was in Bao'an. I was just a joint defense team member. I believe Master Ye should know that the joint defense team members usually Do something."

Xian Yaowen paused and continued: "It is inevitable to offend people when doing business. I am a person who cherishes my life. I need a few capable people to protect me secretly. I don't want outsiders to know their existence, so I give Master Ye the benefits It should be regarded as hush money and there is no need to over-interpret it.”

"It has nothing to do with politics?" Ip Man confirmed.

"No relationship."

"When is the best time to see the house?"

"at any time."

"That's it now."

Ip Man was a little impatient. He knew that he could teach boxing at the Hong Kong and Kowloon Hotel Staff Association, and it was thanks to his friend Li Min who introduced him to Liang Xiang, the chairman of the Staff Association, who was now his apprentice, but the Staff Association The chairman is just an employee. He can afford to keep him here to teach boxing, but it will be a lot of inconvenience. If there is a more suitable place, he will naturally be willing to move.

Besides, he has enjoyed all the glory and wealth since the day he was born. He has never known what it means to be hungry and cold. However, in less than a year, he had suffered enough from the sufferings of the people and had enough of being displaced. He desperately longed for comfort and urgently needed a place to live where he didn't have to worry about being kicked out all the time.

If Lang is interested in having a concubine, things will be simple after that.

Xian Yaowen took Ip Man to see the construction site, and then went to the rooftop of the current house to drink some tea, and the matter was finalized.

That night, Ip Man stayed to have dinner together, and after the meal, he started his first boxing lesson - getting to know each other, understanding the "apprentice's" martial arts foundation, and so on.

Once one thing happens, a new thing will come.

The next day, Xian Yaowen chartered two taxis from the Phnom Penh company and asked the drivers to wash and tidy up the cars. He arrived at Kai Tak Airport at around 1:30 in the afternoon to pick up his brother's international business representative Akeno Inukai who had flown from Tokyo. .

After waiting at the exit for less than fifteen minutes with the sign in hand, the real owner appeared. There were three people in a group. It was a bit of a strange combination. The three of them were divided into three age groups: teenagers and teenagers. The teenager looked like he was only fourteen or fifteen years old. Looks like this, but he always walks in the C position, with young and middle-aged people guarding him on both sides.

In this situation, Xian Yaowen couldn't help but utter the word "fuck". Before, he thought that the kid was good at doing business, and he paid enough attention to him that he directly sent a president over to interview him. Now it seems that he is just "incidentally" , Inukai Akio was obviously accompanying the prince to practice.

"That's unreasonable!"

Xian Yaowen was very angry that he had become dispensable, and a warm smile appeared on his cheeks.

The middle-aged man among the three came to Xian Yaowen, bowed and said: "Hello, I am Nobuyo Inukai, the head of the overseas department of Brothers International Co., Ltd."

Xian Yaowen nodded in response, "Hello, I am Xian Yaowen, the second team of Jinji Trading Co., Ltd. and the general manager of Zhonghua Garments. Head of the Dog Feeding Department, welcome to Hong Kong."

"Xian Class 2, please allow me to introduce you." Inukai Nobuo gestured to Xian Yaowen to the young man next to him, "This is the young president of Brothers International Co., Ltd., Yasui Masaharu."

As soon as Akio Inukai finished speaking, Masaharu Yasui bowed to Xian Yaowen, "Mr. Xian, I am Masaharu Yasui, please take good care of me."

Xian Yaowen also bowed slightly to him, "Mr. Anjing, I am Xian Yaowen, please take care of me."

After the two people's greetings ended, Inukai Akio immediately spoke, using his actions to prove that he was Xian Yaowen's conversation partner.

"Class Xian, we have booked a room at the Peninsula Hotel. Is it far from the airport?"

Xian Yaowen turned to look at Nokai Inukai, "It's not too far, but we need to take a ferry on the way. I have prepared a car and waiting outside the station. Chief Inukai, would you like to go back to the hotel to rest first, or enjoy the beautiful scenery of Hong Kong?"

Inukai Nobuo bowed again, "I'm really sorry, we didn't have a good rest on the plane. We want to go back to the hotel to rest."

"In that case, I'll take you to the hotel. Please go this way."

Xian Yaowen sent the group to the Peninsula Hotel to settle down, and agreed to have dinner together at 7:30 pm.

After exiting the Peninsula Hotel, he rubbed his temples, worrying about the upcoming busy schedule.

Tomorrow is Sunday, and I have a hunting appointment with William Chen. The day after tomorrow is Tuesday, the day Arthur Morse holds a banquet. Whether it is for negotiation strategy or reality, it is necessary to let the little devil out for a day tomorrow.

However, the unexpected arrival of Yasui Masaharu gave him a new inspiration, and he planned to work on this kid.

"Oh, everything has come together."

Sighing, Xian Yaowen calmed down, ordered one of the cars to wait outside the hotel, and got into another car.

Alexandra Building is located to the west of the triangular area at the junction of Chater Road and Des Voeux Road Central, adjacent to Queen's Bank, Gloucester Bank, the General Post Office, Jardine Matheson, and the Hong Kong Hotel. It is a landmark in the landmark building complex, and the office of Golden Quarter Commercial Bank is located there. The fifth floor of the building. The rent of a landmark building will not be cheap, but the Alexandra Building is already planning to demolish and rebuild it. However, the plan conflicts with the Hong Kong Hotel. The two parties are in negotiation. It is not yet known when the plan will be launched. Therefore, the building property will be mixed with the new renter. The tenant signs a supplementary contract, to the effect that once the redevelopment plan starts, the tenant must move out unconditionally, and the building management will not provide any compensation.

With such a harsh contract, many old tenants are preparing to move out, and few new tenants are willing to rent here. Only tenants like Xian Yaowen, who want to ride on the popularity, are willing to move in.

No matter how many days you can work in Alexandria Building, you can always claim that your company's office is in Alexandria Building, next door is Jardine Matheson, opposite is Gloucester Store, and when you go downstairs for lunch at noon, you share a table with the stewardess.

Xian Yaowen held the tea made by Cheryl and stood at the window looking at the Gloucester Bank opposite. His eyes penetrated the glass of the office directly opposite and glanced back and forth at the several reserve stewardesses.

Cheryl stood next to him, looking even more intently than him.

It was unclear what course the reserve flight attendant opposite was taking. A captain and a co-pilot were in charge of the lectures. They were both tall and tall, and it was them Cheryl was looking at.

"Cheryl, which one do you think is better?"

"I don't know, I can't see the face clearly."

"You've never been in love?"

"there has never been."

"It's no wonder, Cheryl, a man's face is not important. It depends on whether he has a good figure and a firm butt. When choosing a man, you should pay attention to practicality. The best is the one who can do it, is willing to do it, and is capable."

"Adam, are you okay talking to a lady like this?" Cheryl said angrily.

"You are my partner first, and a lady secondly." Xian Yaowen retracted his gaze from a 110-centimeter long leg and turned to look at Cheryl, "Do you know which airline's office is opposite? ?”

“Cathay.”

"Oh."

Cheryl asked, "Adam, which one do you like?"

"The one who is 5 feet 6 inches. Not many Chinese can have that height. I like stewardesses, especially the professional rule that prohibits marriage."

"..."

After being in contact for a long time, Cheryl's evaluation of Xian Yaowen has changed. The word gentleman has become full of cracks and may break and collapse at any time.

In fact, Xian Yaowen wished that Cheryl didn't appreciate him as much as a woman does a man. Even if Cheryl was as beautiful as a fairy, he would not have an affair with her. Rabbits don't eat grass on the edge of their nests is his rule for picking up girls. He wouldn't I'll roll on the bed with my friends and subordinates. It might be possible to reverse the order.

"Cheryl, you can get to know more people at the airline, especially the flight attendants. I believe you can easily make friends with them."

"why?"

"For our business."

"No, I'm asking why you think it's easy for me to make friends with the stewardess."

Xian Yaowen looked into Cheryl's eyes and said softly: "Can you accept a more direct conversation now?"

"please say."

"Beauty and ugliness are not absolute, but arise through contrast. Some women like to make friends of the same sex who are uglier than themselves. When they are together, they can better enhance their own charm."

Xian Yaowen omitted an important point. He did not want to emphasize that the other party was a British man, which was an absolute advantage in making friends.

Cheryl said in despair: "Adam, you broke my heart."

"Cheryl, avoiding your own shortcomings is not a positive attitude towards life. You should admit it, analyze it and make full use of it. If my legs were disabled, I would not spend too much time struggling with and feeling inferior. Instead, I would Make full use of it to get more extra benefits.

You should go out and socialize more, get to know more people, and deal with welfare organizations more. Our commercial bank can provide jobs for disabled people. As long as there are no problems with the brain and hands and they can do things, we will give them fair competition with normal people. Opportunity. "

A few minutes ago, he had just read two application letters from applicants (required in the recruitment information). The evaluations were "cats and dogs". The recruitment was not going well, forcing him to put forward certain methods for future use. one time.

“Social networking is my job?”

"For now, yes, when our business is launched in the future, I will slowly familiarize you with business matters. I hope that in the near future you will be able to take full responsibility for all the business of Jinji Commercial Bank." Xian Yaowen put his hand on On Cheryl's shoulder, he said softly: "Cheryl, if a woman wants to change her class, marriage is not the only way. Becoming a businesswoman or a big businessman is also a good choice."

"Can I?" Cheryl's aspirational heartstrings were touched.

"How will you know if you don't try." Xian Yaowen patted Cheryl's shoulder, and then took it away immediately, "Come with me to have dinner with the Tokyo guests tonight. You are the first class, I am the second class, your deputy and subordinate."

"Adam, I can't do it. I don't understand anything."

Xian Yaowen chuckled and said: "This time I just want to help you adapt to the atmosphere. You don't need to do anything. You just need to be reserved and bring the arrogance of the Empire on which the Sun Never Sets. A little bit is enough, but too much will make people disgusted. I have watched "Pride" and Prejudice”?”

"I've seen it several times." Cheryl nodded and said.

"Recall the scene when Darcy and Elizabeth first met, and combine Elizabeth's reserve with Darcy's arrogance."

Cheryl hesitated for a moment, "I'll try."

"uh-huh."

Xian Yaowen left Cheryl in the office to work on her emotions, and went to visit other offices.

It is an unavoidable fact that during this period, getting to know a few more foreign devils, even if they did not establish a personal relationship and were only acquaintances, can still be used to deceive others on certain occasions, as long as they are used skillfully. It's not difficult to get some benefits, not to mention adding some protective attributes to your hedgehog armor.

Foreign devil, fake foreign devil, country party, he must have these identities, and he must achieve seamless switching.

When he was chatting happily with a foreign woman in the office of a foreign bank, Cheryl came over and asked him to answer the phone. Miss Morgan from HSBC was looking for him.

After answering the phone, the other party only said two small things. One was to remind him of the dinner time, and the other was to inform him that the car was almost drifting to the Pacific Ocean and would arrive in a few days.

The matter is not very important, and it is a good thing to say, but Xian Yaowen is not happy that the other party called here, because he did not tell the other party the number of Jinji Commercial Bank, and neither did anyone else in the family. There is no way to follow the phone number at home. It's possible to call.

Michelle, this little girl, is showing off her muscles silently.

After being unhappy for a while, he began to think about the other party's intention of doing this. Is it just a woman's pettiness or the vanguard of HSBC's strategy?
Helping install two phone lines counts as "pull" once? Are you here to beat me?

Or is it just asking for directions?
