Lung King Heen is located on the 4th floor of the high-end office building in Central Financial Center. This is the first Chinese restaurant in the world to receive three Michelin stars. There are exquisite dim sum, steamed seafood, nourishing soups and seasonal dishes. Of course, in addition to delicious food, you can also directly enjoy the beautiful scenery of Victoria Harbor here, which is the top restaurant near Victoria Harbor.

Ye Fang took Su Long and Lan Xin to a dining table with a view led by the restaurant waiter. Su Long and Lan Xin took the initiative to stop and stand a few meters away from the dining table, keeping alert.

At this time, Lister saw Ye Fang coming, stood up on his own initiative, stretched out his right hand, and said, "Hello, Mr. Ye, you are younger than you look in the photo."

"Hello, Mr. Lister." Ye Fang shook hands with Lister and continued, "You are a little different from what I imagined." The Lister in Ye Fang's imagination should be cunning and bitter, with a fierce look on his face. He looks like a bad guy, but Riester across from him seems to be the uncle next door. His speech is full of gentlemanly elegance, which makes people like him doubly.

The table is filled with Lung King Hin's classic dishes, all delicious and delicious. Looking up, you can see the charming night view of Victoria Harbor. Perhaps the only shortcoming is that there is a spy chief opposite. If there is a beautiful woman sitting opposite, Ye Fang will Thinking it would definitely be a romantic date.

Just when Ye Fang's mind was wandering, he looked up and saw Qi Gege and her two best friends walking in from outside.

"Didn't I tell this girl to go back to the capital? Why are she still here?" Ye Fang cursed in his heart.

Fortunately, Chigge didn't see Ye Fang, and the three girls went straight to another dining table and sat down.

Lister did not notice Ye Fang's micro-expression. The two of them were looking for topics to chat with each other, chatting about life, ideals, religion, Buddhism, local wars in the world, changes in the international situation, and the trivial daily lives of city residents, no matter what Riester could talk about anything for a long time. When chatting at the same time, Lister was very considerate of Ye Fang's feelings and would never let the atmosphere at the table become cold, so the two of them chatted happily.

"I don't know much about the situation in the Mainland. Is it convenient to disclose the scale of Mr. Ye's company in the Mainland?"

Ye Fang knew that the drama was coming, and Lister started to get down to business.

"There is no way to compare with the companies here. Moreover, my company has only been in operation for more than a year. It's hard to say in terms of scale." Ye Fang said deliberately modestly.

Lister nodded. After all, time was very tight. The accurate information about Ye Fang from the mainland had not yet been transmitted. Lister subconsciously did not think that Ye Fang’s financial strength was very strong. After all, Lister came into contact with many people in his daily work and life. He is a super rich man with billions of assets. Mainland billionaires are also rare. Of course, it would be another matter if Ye Fang had a strong family background.

"The center of the world economy in the next 20 years will definitely be in Asia, and the engine of Asia is here." Lister knocked on the table heavily and continued, "This has become the consensus of Western countries. The mainland has huge development potential, and there are There will definitely be another step forward in 20 years. In this context, I believe that any company has huge development opportunities." Lister's words were full of the arrogance of old capitalist countries. Although Lister concealed it well, Ye Fang I can still hear the sense of superiority exuding from Riester's bones.

In the past, if a country fell behind, it would be beaten. Today, if a country falls behind, it will definitely be looked down upon by others. As a member of a powerful Western country, Lister indeed has the capital to be condescending and contemptuous in front of Ye Fang. However, unlike Rist's perception, Ye Fang knows that his country will definitely develop, but it will definitely not be 20 years. It may only take three to five years, and it will definitely take off in the hands of Ye Fang's generation.

"Tomorrow will definitely be better, I have no doubt about it." Ye Fang said lightly.

Riester conducted further tests around Ye Fang's property and family situation, but every time he was blocked by Ye Fang with ambiguous answers. Since there was no specific information about Ye Fang, Lister had no choice but to give up, but he still did not give up the idea of ​​absorbing Ye Fang into his intelligence system. After much thought, Lister directly extended his olive branch.

"Mr. Ye, our British Empire has launched an elite talent recruitment plan. As the representative of the British Empire in Hong Kong, I will be fully responsible for this plan. In this plan, we have been committed to finding a group of people who have a sense of belonging to the UK. Outstanding entrepreneurs are willing to fund their rapid development and expansion, and we are willing to provide them with good resources and policy support to help them become world-class enterprises." List said proudly.

Lister believed that these conditions were enough to impress anyone. The most important thing was that not everyone had this qualification. He firmly believed that Ye Fang would agree without hesitation after hearing this.

Who knew that Ye Fang did not show what he expected after hearing this. Ye Fang said with a smile, "We have an old saying that there is no free lunch in the world. I have a few questions to ask Mr. List. The first question is , I have never met you before, how come you think I will be an outstanding entrepreneur in your eyes? The second question, I ask myself, I am not an elite talent, the resources or policies you just mentioned are appropriate. I am too far away from here. I would like to ask if there are any practical measures? The third question is, you must want to get something from me by providing this kind of resources. I want to know what I have here that you value. Or what value do I have to you?”

Riester was very satisfied with Ye Fang's performance. If Ye Fang agreed after hearing these conditions, Riester would definitely find other reasons to give up on Ye Fang. Because of Ye Fang's answer, Lister thought that Ye Fang was definitely the target he was looking for.

Lister chuckled and said, "We will never send out an invitation to someone easily. Since we have sent it out, then this person must have certain qualities, and this quality is exactly what we need. Mr. Ye has been here these two days The commotion in Hong Kong was quite big, not only alarming Mr. O and the top brass of the police force, but even the upper echelons of the government knew about Mr. Ye. Mr. Ye's powerful resource allocation ability is absolutely rare among the younger generation. I believe This resource mobilization ability matches one’s own quality.”

"As for the resource tilt measures mentioned by Mr. Ye, this is even broader. Many famous entrepreneurs in the world are supported by our project plan, which is a resource in itself. Our circle covers almost all industries. After joining us, you can do business with anyone, and our British Empire will do our best to support it. At the same time, we will mobilize resources around the world to help you open channels for cross-border trade, and even if your company reaches a certain standard, you can do business with anyone. We are happy to support doing business directly with the British royal family and doing business with the British aristocracy. Our circle not only has outstanding entrepreneurs and political figures, but there are also many outstanding entrepreneurs in the mainland who are supported by our projects. columns, these are the targets for your future business expansion.”

"Oh? There are also companies in the mainland? Can you tell me what companies there are?" Ye Fang asked.

Lister shook his head wily and said, "You haven't joined our circle yet. This information is confidential for the time being. But I promise that if you are willing to join us one day, I will introduce you to Mr. Ye. Of course, this plan cannot be launched." In the past few years, we have not made great efforts to develop project members in the mainland. We hope that Mr. Ye can take on this responsibility after joining us to attract more outstanding entrepreneurs from the mainland to join us."

Ye Fang nodded and deliberately sighed, "It does sound very tempting." After saying this, Ye Fang looked up at Lister and asked, "What do you want from me? I can't think of anything I have." What is worthy of your favor.”

Riester shook his head and said, "There is no exchange of interests, only mutual benefit and win-win results. Your loyalty and trust in the British Empire is what we need, nothing more."

"That's it?" Ye Fang confirmed.

"That's all!" Lister affirmed.

Ye Fang seemed to be very dissatisfied with Lister's answer and said directly, "If this is your answer, I don't think we need to talk any more." Ye Fang was about to get up and leave, but was stopped by Lister.

This was another trap laid by Lister's conversation. If Ye Fang agreed to this point, Lister would give up on Ye Fang without hesitation.

If you only know how to take but don't know how to give, then such a greedy person is not Rist's target. Seven of the ten people Rist came into contact with would be directly eliminated at this stage. Rist did not expect that Ye Fang, at such a young age, would understand the principle that if you want to take something first, you must give it first. Maybe it was just like what Ye Fang said. , there is no free lunch in this world, pie will never fall from the sky.

"Mr. Ye, you are indeed the elite talent we are looking for." Lister looked at Ye Fang with satisfaction and continued, "We hope to find a group of outstanding people who have certain influence and political resources in a certain field in the mainland. People join us so that we can control the economic and political trends around the world anytime and anywhere, and use this to provide the corresponding basis for the decision-making of our British Empire. Of course, if we have certain international activities that require your support or response, we hope Everyone can do what they can.”

"You need some political and economic information, and you need to be able to respond to some of your actions when necessary. I understand, right?" Ye Fang asked.

Lister nodded and said, "Yes, of course we are not making any changes, we are just getting the information we want through another channel. You don't need to have any psychological burden on this, you are not Betraying your motherland, this is just a job. You can just understand that this is a new business for your company."

Ye Fang knew that the United Kingdom represented by Lister and the United States represented by Kelly were the same. The difference was that Lister acted directly in the name of the consulate, while Kelly acted in the name of the company in China. Although the superficial form is different, they are all the same at heart. In terms of power, Lister should be bigger than Kelly, and he can decide more things independently. This is like the top level of the pyramid in MLM. The higher the level, the higher the authority.

"Mr. Lister, I have to think about this matter carefully. I can't answer you so quickly. Besides, I still have a difficult matter to finish in Hong Kong. I will reply to you after I finish it, okay?" "Ye Fang said.

"Of course." Riester replied with a smile. Then Riester's mind changed and he raised his eyebrows and asked, "I don't know what kind of difficult things Mr. Ye has encountered. Maybe I can help."

Ye Fang's mind sank, and he thought that he was not sure that he could solve this problem by himself. Maybe the old fox in front of him would have a solution.

Thinking of this, Ye Fang deliberately sighed and said, "I have a batch of smuggled goods that was detained by the Hong Kong Customs. I wanted to save some customs duties at first, but I didn't expect that the intermediary who handled it made a mistake and was detained by the customs. I have been thinking about it these days. How can we get this batch of goods out?"

"So that's what happened." Lister smiled slightly and said, "I think I should be able to help you."

"In that case, thank you very much." Ye Fang thanked him.

"I just want Mr. Ye to feel my sincerity by doing this." Liester said with a smile.

"Okay, as long as Mr. List can help me get this batch of goods, I will definitely consider your conditions carefully." Ye Fang said solemnly.

"Okay, it's a deal!" Lister said solemnly.

"A word is settled!"

Ye Fang stood at the table and watched Lister leave. He looked at a table of delicious food that was not so delicious. He stretched out his hand to call Su Long and Lan Xin to sit down together. The three of them quietly enjoyed the delicious food while looking at the beautiful night view of Victoria. dinner.

Su Long and Lan Xin had never eaten in such a high-end restaurant, and they were very happy. Ye Fang's thoughts were focused on the conversation he had just had with Lister, so Su Long and Lan Xin were talking most of the time.

"Ye Fang?! See you again." At this time, Qi Gege accidentally saw Ye Fang, ran over with a smile, and sat down without waiting for Ye Fang to speak.

Seeing this, Su Long and Lan Xin had no choice but to ask the waiter to bring the food to another table, leaving that table for Ye Fang and Qi Gege.

Ye Fang picked up a napkin and wiped his mouth, and said, "Didn't I tell you to go home? Why aren't you leaving?"

"It's been difficult to book air tickets during the recent tourist season, and the nearest flight is scheduled for two days later." Chigge replied casually.

"Okay, then you can play here for two more days, just don't go out to play at night." Ye Fang said.

"Yeah, I know." Chigge replied with a smile.

While Ye Fang and Siegege were talking, no one noticed that there was a man sitting in a corner of the restaurant, with a miniature camera on the table quietly recording everything...
