Chapter 41 Making Friends

Michelin restaurant box in the Peninsula Hotel, Hong Kong

Under the magnificent chandelier, there is a beautiful long crystal table covered with a red cloth, and on the table are standard Western dining utensils.

On the west side of the box is a huge sightseeing platform, from which you can see the most beautiful night view in Hong Kong.

This is the VIP box of the Peninsula Hotel. Ordinary people can’t get in even if they have money.

Sitting in the Peninsula Hotel, Li Jiayuan couldn't help but sigh that this was the world of the rich.

Three days ago, because of that bidding document, he secretly found out about the rival bidder, the Far East Group. By using some not-so-stellar means, he got the contact information of Qiu Degen of the Far East Group.

Qiu Degen was born in an ordinary family in Shanghai. When he was young, he worked in small business in Shanghai. 49 years later, he came to Hong Kong. His early life was difficult and he made a living by running a small business.

In 50, he founded Far Eastern Bank, which was involved in the financial industry. From then on, he started his journey to become a business tycoon. He is the founder of Far Eastern Group, and his business covers real estate, hotels, entertainment, media and other fields.

He is well-known for his strong business acumen and contribution to Hong Kong's economic development, and is a well-deserved business tycoon.

These may be too general, so let’s talk about a more well-known one. Qiu Degen was once the chairman of ATV and was also known as the father of ATV.

Although the Shaw family is now in control of ATV, this alone shows Qiu Degen's strength and background. Even now, his Far East Group has the strength to challenge Cheung Kong Properties.

This time, he was the rival company in the bidding for Changjiang Real Estate, so Li Jiayuan approached him because he believed that Qiu Degen would definitely be interested in his bid.

Moreover, his bid is likely to bring him extremely high returns, and he doesn't believe that Qiu Degen will not be interested.

So he used some tricks to meet Qiu Degen.

Li Jiayuan was just thinking about it when a middle-aged man with noble airs pushed open the door and walked in.

He was well-dressed in an expensive suit and walked with an elegant gait.

Li Jiayuan's eyes lit up. Perhaps there were class differences between people. It turned out that some people, even wearing beggar's clothes, still couldn't hide their unique temperament.

A sense of confidence that comes from a superior.

Qiu Degen naturally walked to the chair opposite Li Jiayuan and sat down, and the first sentence he said was.

"Don't you think it's dishonorable to threaten my driver's family through this method, Mr. Li?"

There was no questioning in Qiu Degen's words, and no emotion could be seen, as if he was simply explaining a very ordinary matter, but Li Jiayuan felt an inexplicable sense of oppression from it.

He cleared his throat.

"I'm very sorry to meet you in this way. There are reasons for this. I will give the driver a satisfactory compensation."

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Jiayuan felt that Qiu Degen's eyes opposite him seemed to have changed. It was a very strange look, as if he wanted to see through him.

"Puchi. Hahahahahaha"

Just when Li Jiayuan felt that the situation was going in a bad direction, Qiu Degen suddenly laughed, and his laugh was very loud.

This caught Li Jiayuan off guard. He didn't know what he was laughing at. After about a few seconds, Qiu Degen calmed down.

Looking at Li Jiayuan's eyes again, he could actually see a look of appreciation.

"Li Jiayuan, I know you, Jiayuan Property Company."

Qiu Degen smiled meaningfully, and Li Jiayuan hesitated to speak, then smiled with the corners of his mouth pulled.

"Mr. Qiu also watches TVB news."

"Of course, for us in business, information is very important, and news is also a source of information."

After opening up, Qiu Degen seemed particularly talkative and did not seem to be angry at Li Jiayuan's rudeness.

"Actually, I was very surprised when you first called me. You know, in all these years, you're the first person to contact me in this way."

"In fact, I could have chosen to call the police. Do you know why I didn't?"

"why?"

Li Jiayuan was also curious about this, because he actually didn't expect that he could really get the person out.

Qiu Degen tasted the red wine and said, "Because I want to see you."

"You are a rare talent."

Yes, Qiu Degen felt from the bottom of his heart that Li Jiayuan was a talent. Property management companies have always existed, but before this, property management companies were mostly from developers.

Li Jiayuan was probably the first person to take the initiative to set up a property management company and then reach cooperation with merchants in his personal name.

Based on this point alone, he felt that Li Jiayuan was a talent, because in their line of work, expansive thinking, vision and bold courage were the most important.

Moreover, Li Jiayuan is quite capable and can truly provide protection to property owners in this chaotic society, which is highly praised. This is not easy.

Therefore, he admired Li Jiayuan very much and was willing to meet this young man.

After hearing the reason, Li Jiayuan felt that he must have some luck, as this caught the boss's eye.

But now is not the time to talk about this.

"Mr. Qiu, before I talk to you, I would like you to take a look at this."

Li Jiayuan pushed out the things packed in the brown paper document bag. Qiu Degen took out the things inside in confusion. After just one glance, he immediately looked up in shock.

"This"

In just three minutes, his expression changed several times. Finally, he put down the briefcase, his eyes full of confusion and weirdness.

With his vision and understanding of his opponent, he could certainly tell whether this thing was real or fake.

But he didn't understand how Li Jiayuan, at such a level, could get such an important thing. It was impossible. Such a thing, not to mention him, even the senior executives of Cheung Kong Properties might not be able to get access to it.

Could it be that Li Jiayuan is Lao Li's man?

Set a trap for yourself. The authenticity of this thing remains to be verified.

"what do you want?"

Qiu Degen changed his relaxed and humorous attitude and looked extremely serious.

Li Jiayuan smiled.

"I don't want anything. I just want to use this to make friends with you, Mr. Qiu. You can check the authenticity of this thing now. Just think of it as a gift from me."

Then, Qiu Degen made a phone call, and in less than three minutes, a man who looked like a secretary came in and took the documents away.

Then there was a long wait. Half an hour later, the man came back, put the things on the table, and whispered a few unclear words into Qiu Degen's ear.

Qiu Degen's experienced expression changed several times, and finally he breathed a sigh of relief.

"The young are formidable~"

Just now, people from their group have verified that the authenticity of the content of this document is as high as 80%, and it is definitely not groundless.

He still couldn't understand why Li Jiayuan was able to get this thing.

But it doesn't matter, everyone has their own secrets.

"I'll ask you again, are you sure you don't want to order anything? You know, if you just ask, you can get enough wealth to last you a lifetime."

This time, Li Jiayuan answered very straightforwardly.

"I just want to be friends with Mr. Qiu."

He has a system and has no shortage of money. Qiu Degen may give him 10 or 20 million, but does he need it?

In comparison, what he wanted was Qiu Degen's recognition and his connections.

Qiu Degen was stunned for a long time, then burst into laughter.

"Young people are courageous, which is great."

"Come on, follow me downstairs."
