Rebirth: Rising Hong Kong

"You might as well sit in front and help me guide the way!" Ax Jun said to Yan Xiong who was sitting next to Shi Zhijian.

"I want to take care of Mr. Shi, he has a cold!" Yan Xiong said to Fu Toujun, "You drive first, I will remind you if you go wrong!"

Fu Toujun nodded helplessly, started the car and drove forward.

Along the way, Yan Xiong asked about Shi Zhijian's physical condition, and said that it is not good for a busy person like Shi Zhijian to not have a woman by his side, at least it is very convenient to serve tea and water.

Shi Zhijian couldn't hear what Yan Xiong said, so he asked him what he meant by these words.

Yan Xiong immediately showed his fox tail, and said cautiously: "Judy is very happy working in the hotel now, and she has changed her ways a long time ago. If you want to repay Mr. Shi well, it is best to stay by Mr. Shi's side and help you. You're a secretary or something!"

"Uh, secretary?"

"Yeah, although Judy has never worked as a secretary before, she has already practiced serving tea and water in the hotel. Also, she came to the United States when she was very young. She can speak English and Chinese very well. I know a lot of Hakka, so I can help you with translation!"

Shi Zhijian smiled: "Is this what she asked you to tell me?"

Yan Xiong was stunned, and said with an embarrassed smile: "No, I wanted to talk about it myself! You also know that I have a relationship with her, so please help if you can!"

Shi Zhijian nodded: "Alright then, let her try!"

"Thank you boss! Thank you boss!" Yan Xiong was extremely happy.

…

Rockefeller Manor is located in the most luxurious Manhattan area of ​​New York.

Compared with the rich mansions around, the Rockefeller Manor is more like a pearl in Manhattan, inlaid here, especially in the drizzle, it is picturesque, the whole manor is majestic and beautiful.

Creaking, the big iron gate of the manor opened.

Shi Zhijian drove straight in in a car. The surrounding was hazy with drizzle, and he couldn't see the scenery clearly. He only felt that the manor was huge. After driving for four or five minutes, he arrived in front of an old villa.

This time, without waiting for Fu Toujun to come out to help Shi Zhijian open the umbrella, Yan Xiong opened the car door very quickly and let Shi Zhijian get out of the car.

Shi Zhijian got off the car, looked up at Xiongwei Villa, and walked towards it.

At the door, an old butler in his sixties was wearing a formal tuxedo and white gloves and was waiting politely beside him. When he saw Shi Zhijian coming up, he rushed to meet him and said in a pure British accent, "Hi, may I ask you?" Is it Mr. Shi Zhijian, the master asked me to wait for you here!"

Shi Zhijian nodded, and then walked towards the hall of the villa under the guidance of the old housekeeper.

As soon as you enter the hall, the lights are immediately bright, and the huge crystal chandelier illuminates the surroundings like daytime.

There were maids and servants neatly lined up at the door, and when they saw Shi Zhijian and others coming in, they bowed collectively: "Mr. Shi!"

Shi Zhijian was okay, Yan Xiong was amazed at such a big scene for the first time: "The boss is indeed the boss, he is quite impressive!"

"Mr. Shi, this way please!" The old butler led Shi Zhijian to turn around a corridor. On both sides of the corridor were world famous paintings from various eras, as well as ancient Chinese porcelain, some of which were priceless.

Yan Xiong was even more stunned, wondering whether this is a villa or a museum, it's so spectacular! Compared with the collections collected by Mr. Rockefeller, the calligraphy, paintings and antiques that Yan Xiong embezzled before are simply childish!

It took more than two minutes to walk this corridor. I turned a corner and thought I was about to reach my destination, but unexpectedly, there was a large indoor fountain in front of me, and a sculpted beauty was carrying a water bottle on her shoulders, trickling water down!

"Mr. Shi, please -----" The old butler knew how to be polite, and walked beside Shi Zhijian, neither fast nor slow, and even made an invitation gesture at this moment: "This place is a bit big, and it is often uncomfortable for guests to come. I'm too used to it, please forgive me!" After finishing speaking, he added, "Our master is waiting for you in the restaurant!"

The so-called "restaurant" that the old butler said made Shi Zhijian a little speechless. This is a large western-style restaurant. If it is full of tables, it can hold at least twenty tables!

In the restaurant, Rockefeller was holding a glass of champagne with one hand behind his back, and he was watching Shi Zhijian approaching cheerfully.

I haven't seen him for a few years, and the old man's hair is getting grayer, but he is in good spirits, with piercing eyes.

"My dear Shi, you are finally here!" Rockefeller welcomed with open arms.

Shi Zhijian went up to meet him: "Yes, I'm late! Please forgive me!"

The old butler took Rockefeller's champagne glass, and Rockefeller and Shi Zhijian embraced warmly!

To be honest, Rockefeller really liked Shi Zhijian, a young man.

"Mr. Rockefeller, I haven't seen you for a few years and you still look old!" Shi Zhijian shook hands with Rockefeller.

Rockefeller laughed from ear to ear: "Dear Shi, you should call me Wang Fugui by my Chinese name, it sounds kind! By the way, how is your sister? I really like the pig's foot soup she cooked for me. !"

In the United States, ghosts like chicken feet and pig feet don’t eat them. Although Rockefeller is a super rich man and has several French chefs in his family, these people really don’t know how to make pig’s foot soup. In their opinion, Pig's knuckles are dirty things, they can't be eaten!

"My elder sister is in good health, and she often mentions you old man. The room you used to live in has not been moved, and it is still placed in the same way. By the way, the ancient bed you like is also kept the same! "

"Really? God! I miss Hong Kong so much!" Rockefeller sighed, "It's a pity that I'm too busy here, otherwise I must fly to see it!"

Shi Zhijian talked with Rockefeller for a few more words, then turned around and asked Yan Xiong to present the gift he brought from Hong Kong, but it was a thousand-year-old ginseng, a good thing that money can't buy!

"I came in a hurry, and I have nothing to prepare. I hope you will accept this thousand-year-old ginseng!" Shi Zhijian winked at Yan Xiong after finishing speaking.

Yan Xiong hurriedly opened the box, and a ginseng was lying inside, with a lifelike posture!

Although Rockefeller is an American, he also knows that ginseng is an excellent tonic. The older the ginseng, the better the medicinal effect! He has also eaten it before, and the effect is very good, even peeing in the toilet has a smell of ginseng!

Rockefeller laughed. He likes to deal with young people like Shi Zhijian who know how to behave, especially at his age. He has already looked down on everything, but he still cares about his health and life and death.

"Thank you, my dear. I heard that you have recently recruited Soros, a financial tycoon? It seems that you really want to show your strength this time!" Rockefeller actually used some blunt and weird Chinese to speak to Shi Zhijian this time. .

Shi Zhijian looked at Rockefeller and laughed: "You speak Chinese well!"

But Shi Zhijian was slightly shocked in his heart. This old man in his 60s, who had only a few Chinese words in the last chat, can now speak a whole sentence in Chinese fluently, and even used the phrase "stretch his fists and feet" kinds of words.

"I hired a Chinese student to help me study Chinese for an hour every night! For me, sleep is a luxury, and I need to spend more time studying!" Rockefeller said while inviting Shi Zhijian to sit at the dining table sit down.

Shi Zhijian couldn't help being astonished, and looked at Rockefeller again, feeling admiration in his heart.

No wonder the Rockefeller family can survive for a long time. This attitude of living and learning alone makes many people feel ashamed!

Seeing Shi Zhijian's surprised expression, Rockefeller smiled, and then gestured to the old housekeeper!

The old butler clapped his hands, and his own maid brought up delicious food and wine, and placed them in front of Rockefeller and Shi Zhijian respectively.

Rockefeller looked at Yan Xiong and Futou Jun and said with a smile: "You two sit down too, you're welcome!"

"How can this be done?" Yan Xiong hurriedly said, "It's very rude!"

Rockefeller laughed: "What is impolite and what is not rude? I'm not the kind of old-fashioned old-fashioned. We knew each other when we were in Hong Kong. It's good to sit down and have a casual meal and catch up on the old days!"

"This----" Yan Xiong looked at Shi Zhijian.

Shi Zhijian said: "Since Mr. Rockefeller is so caring, you should just sit down and eat."

"Uh, yes, Mr. Shi!" Yan Xiong winked at Fu Toujun.

Fu Toujun didn't know much English and was still guessing what Rockefeller said just now, Yan Xiong turned his head and said to him in a low voice: "Don't stand like a log! They invite us to sit down and eat!"

After Yan Xiong and Fu Toujun sat down, Rockefeller looked at Shi Zhijian and said, "But you seem to be a little reckless this time!"

The old butler helped pour the wine himself.

The red liquid flowed into the red wine glass, and Rockefeller held up a glass and shook it and said to Shi Zhijian: "Then Donny Rothschild is rich and powerful, plus Buffett, the stock god, I am afraid that even if you recruit Soros to help you, it is not them. opponent!"

"Many people say this, but I still want to gamble!" Shi Zhijian sat back on the chair, picked up the tablecloth and tucked it under his chin, and looked up at Rockefeller: "Many games in this world are very magical, like In the vicious and famous wars in ancient China, the one with the fewest numbers and the weakest power will turn defeat into victory and win the final victory!"

Rockefeller put down his red wine glass, looked at Shi Zhijian with a smile and said, "For example, your Chu-Han struggle? The weakest Liu Bang finally became the emperor, but that Mr. Overlord killed himself beside a river!"

Shi Zhijian was surprised for a moment, he didn't expect Rockefeller to know Chinese historical allusions.

"Dear Shi, don't look at me with such eyes. You know, I am very active in learning Chinese, and the student who taught me Chinese is also a good teacher. He also taught me a lot of your historical stories! King Chu and Liu Bang is one of them!"

Shi Zhijian smiled: "Honestly, Mr. Rockefeller! You really surprised me! Yes, God, you are almost half Chinese!"

"Hehe, I like Chinese people, just like I like to be friends with you! You know, you Chinese are the most emotional nation! This has deeply attracted me!" Rockefeller sighed, "So this time I invite you to dinner because I want to give you a chance, as long as you open your mouth and can help you, I will absolutely agree!"

Yan Xiong, who was silently cutting steak with a knife next to him, jingled, because he was so excited when he heard this, the knife and fork hit the plate, he raised his head and stared at Rockefeller, then hurriedly looked at Shi Zhijian, his eyes were full of hints--- -

Boss, this is a good opportunity!

Fu Toujun didn't understand what they were talking about, seeing Yan Xiong's reaction, he also looked at Shi Zhijian curiously.

The old butler who was waiting on the side was very calm on the surface, but he was slightly surprised in his heart. You must know that he has served Mr. Rockefeller for so many years, and he has never seen him make such a bold promise to others.

Unable to bear it, the old housekeeper glanced at Shi Zhijian again, guessing what kind of charm this young man has?

Faced with such a huge temptation, Shi Zhijian took a sip of red wine and said with a smile: "Thank you for your love, sir, but I really don't need any help from you!"

"Huh?" Rockefeller was stunned for a moment. He didn't quite understand that Shi Zhijian was obviously at a disadvantage now, so he didn't even want his help? ! Is it self-conceited, confident, or embarrassed to speak? !

"Of course, if you really want to do something, then I can give you some advice!" Shi Zhijian shook his glass comfortably, "I know your family is in the oil business, so in the next month you It’s best to hoard more crude oil!”

"Ahem!" Rockefeller, who was drinking, was almost choked by Shi Zhijian's words, looked at Shi Zhijian and said, "Are you telling the truth, not joking?"

The Rockefeller family made their fortune by doing oil, and they control many oil fields in the United States and abroad. In recent years, oil prices have risen, and he has made a lot of money. According to the principle of stock market rushing higher, the price of oil will drop next. Do a good job. He sold the hoarded oil at a high price, but Shi Zhijian did the opposite and asked him to hoard more oil!

"Yes, what I said is true!" Shi Zhijian said to Rockefeller with a smile, "I just said so much to thank you for today's feast and your promise just now!" Make a toast invitation gesture.

Rockefeller couldn't understand Shi Zhijian, because Shi Zhijian's tone clearly meant to "take care of". It is conceivable that if Rockefeller hadn't said that he would help Shi Zhijian before, Shi Zhijian would not have suggested him to hoard oil .

"Are you that sure?" Rockefeller also laughed, and asked, "What if I lose? Who will be responsible for me?"

"Haha, don't be kidding, I can't be responsible for the great business of your hometown!" Shi Zhijian was amused by Rockefeller's words, "The stock market is just a casino. Win or lose depends on fate. Only you can be responsible for yourself!"

Rockefeller raised his red wine glass and invited Shi Zhijian across the air: "I knew you would say this! Seeing that you and I are friends, I will buy and bet you to win!"

"So, cheers?"

"cheers!"

The two clinked glasses in the air.

Drank it down!

For Rockefeller, he was very excited to join the game of the century!

He was very curious, how would the young man in front of him come back against the wind? !
