Hong Kong, Deep Water Bay.

Returning to the mansion in Deep Water Bay after more than a year, Ye Fang did not feel unfamiliar at all. Although Lan Xin had not lived in this mansion for more than a year, he would arrange for someone to come and clean it at fixed times, so the whole house was always in perfect condition. Dress neatly.

Ye Fang only told Lan Xin about Ye Fang's return this time, but now Yang Mingzhen, as Lan Xin's manager, naturally knew Lan Xin's movements well, so Lan Xin also told Yang Mingzhen about Ye Fang's return.

As soon as Ye Fang returned to the mansion in Deep Water Bay, Yang Mingzhen and Lan Xin arrived. Ye Fang didn't mind Lan Xin bringing Yang Mingzhen with him. After all, his appearance also gave Yang Mingzhen and others confidence, and Ye Fang's reappearance also dispelled the so-called rumors in Yang Mingzhen's eyes.

"Mr. Yang, business is booming." Ye Fang said to Yang Mingzhen with a smile.

Yang Mingzhen did not dare to sit down in front of Ye Fang, and replied with a smile, "Thanks to you, the company's business is normal and the profits are good."

Ye Fang turned his head to Lan Xin again and asked, "How are you doing lately?"

"Brother Ye, I'm fine now. It's just that my sister and Mr. Su are thinking about you very much now. Can I tell them the news of your return?" Lan Xin asked carefully.

Ye Fang nodded slightly and said, "Okay, so that they don't have to worry about it. Just tell them that I will go see them."

"Okay, they must be very happy." Lan Xin hesitated and continued, "Brother Ye, there is another thing you may not know. Mr. Su gave birth to a son for you, who is now half a year old."

Hearing what Lan Xin said, Ye Fang's eyes widened and he said, "This... when did this happen?"

"It must have been after that meeting in the capital. Mr. Su didn't ask me to tell you. I originally wanted to surprise you," Lan Xin said.

"Okay, I understand. You two should go back first. You don't have to come over if it's okay." Ye Fang said.

"Yes." Yang Mingzhen and Lan Xin stood up and agreed, and then left the Deep Water Bay mansion.

At this time, Nan Yi and Pang Hongfei came in from the outside. When Pang Hongfei saw Ye Fang, he said, "Boss, I have contacted the other party and the meeting time is set for tomorrow. The other party is very sincere and we will choose the time and place. They will bring Let’s go with Jiaming.”

"The location is set at the top-floor restaurant of the Carlton Hotel. I have asked someone to go there and book it in advance to ensure that there is no monitoring equipment." Nan Yi said.

Ye Fang nodded solemnly and said, "Okay, we will meet this mysterious guest tomorrow."

The Carlton Hotel is located on the 111th to 118th floors of the International Commerce Center. The entire building is 490 meters high, making it the tallest hotel in the world. There is a restaurant on the top floor with views in all directions, offering unobstructed views of the sea on both sides of Victoria Harbour. The Zhongxuanlong Chinese Restaurant on the top floor has two Michelin stars and is full of taste. It is a high-end restaurant for business people in Hong Kong to discuss business.

The ghost team had entered the Zhongxuanlong Restaurant in advance. Ye Fang, accompanied by Nan Yi and Pang Hongfei, walked into the restaurant wearing a black suit and a cloak. The service staff on both sides of the restaurant entrance all bowed to say hello, and finally led by the restaurant manager Lead Ye Fang to the most luxurious and largest viewing position in the restaurant.

After Ye Fang sat down, he looked up and took in the beautiful night view of Victoria Harbor, and a sense of grandeur arose spontaneously.

The restaurant manager is a Chinese-English mixed-race female named Linda. She is very beautiful and elegant. A woman who can serve as a manager in such a restaurant must not only be beautiful, but also knowledgeable. Linda graduated from Yale University, speaks five languages, and can switch between Chinese and English freely. Although she is just an ordinary manager of Zhongxuanlong Restaurant, she is pursued by many Hong Kong businessmen, rich and young, but Linda never agrees to anyone easily.

Linda received this special task yesterday. Someone paid a huge price to book the restaurant. The specific identity is unknown. When Linda saw Ye Fang for the first time today, she was attracted by his aura. She couldn't help but take a second look when she brought Ye Fang coffee.

Ye Fang was sensitive to Linda's probing gaze. The moment they looked at each other, Ye Fang nodded politely and smiled, making Linda blush.

At this time, Pang Hongfei and Linda received news of the guest's arrival almost at the same time, and Pang Hongfei and Linda walked towards the door of the restaurant almost at the same time.

As the four elevators outside the restaurant opened at the same time, at least 20 people came out of it. Pang Hongfei could clearly see that the leaders were three foreign men with blond hair and blue eyes wearing suits, with Lu Jiaming walking at the back.

Sitting in the restaurant, Ye Fang was drinking coffee leisurely and quietly looking at the group of foreigners at the door. He saw Pang Hongfei negotiating with the three leading foreigners and walking towards Ye Fang, accompanied by Linda. come over.

Lu Jiaming walked up to Ye Fang and said with a slightly ashamed look, "Mr. Ye, I'm really sorry for asking you to go there in person."

Ye Fang waved his hand and said, "It's okay, sit down."

Lu Jiaming sat down on the left side of Ye Fang, while Pang Hongfei stood aside and introduced Ye Fang.

"This is Mr. Steve, the head of the Hong Kong representative office of the Rockefeller Foundation!"

"This is Mr. Ron, the head of the Hong Kong representative office of the Morgan Financial Group!"

"This is Mr. Toby, the head of the Hong Kong representative office of the Goldman Sachs Group!"

Ye Fang looked up at the three people. Steve was an old man in his 50s, with gray hair, a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, and narrow eyes. At first glance, he looked like a scheming person. Ron and Toby are both middle-aged people in their forties. Those who can be responsible for Hong Kong at this age must be business elites, and they will not be easy to get along with.

Ye Fang can basically tell that Steve is the leader among the three. After all, the Rockefeller Foundation has absolute influence in both political and business circles in the United States, so today's meeting should basically be led by Steve.

The three Steves received messages from the United States almost at the same time, asking them to meet Ye Fang. The person who can attract the attention of the three major financial groups is definitely not an ordinary person, but when Steve saw Ye Fang in the restaurant of the three talents, he was immediately shocked by Ye Fang's youth. The three of them never expected that the head of the mysterious Dongfang consortium would be so young. Despite this, Steve and the others politely extended their hands to Ye Fang.

Ye Fang had no intention of getting up and shaking hands with the three of them. He just made a gesture of invitation and said, "Please sit down!"

The three of them looked at me and I looked at you. The dissatisfaction in their eyes disappeared in an instant. The three of them sat opposite Ye Fang in order of priority. South Africa and Lu Jiuge stood behind Ye Fang and the others, while all the bodyguards brought by Steve and the others were blocked from the door of the restaurant. All the service staff in the restaurant were cleared out, leaving only those standing not far away. Linda, the restaurant manager.

Linda had already asked people to serve coffee and simple Western snacks to everyone. Although she knew that this should be a special and extremely confidential meeting, Linda was still very excited when she experienced this scene. Linda Knowing that Steve and the other three were big bosses in Hong Kong's financial and business circles, it was usually extremely difficult to meet anyone. Unexpectedly, they met three of them at once today.

But now the protagonist today is not Steve and the others, but Ye Fang sitting on the other side of the dining table.

"Mr. Ye seems to be very rude and uncharacteristic of a country with great Eastern etiquette." Steve said slowly.

Ye Fang's expression did not change and he raised his head and said, "There is a saying in China that when friends come, there is wine; when wolves come, there are shotguns! In my opinion, you are not my friend now, and you have kidnapped my people, don't you think so?" Shouldn't you be the first to say sorry?"

Steve smiled and said defensively, "Strictly speaking, we just invited Mr. Lu to be our guest. If Mr. Ye feels that we have offended you, we apologize to you."

Hearing Steve's apology, Linda, who was standing not far away, couldn't help but widen her eyes. Linda, who works in a restaurant, often hears people talking about agents of top consortiums like Steve. Each of them has basic skills. They are all accustomed to looking at people through their nostrils. I have never seen them apologize to others.

Since ancient times, beauties love heroes. Now Linda is becoming more and more interested in Ye Fang's identity and background. The rich second generation who chased Linda in the past were simply inferior to Ye Fang.

"Okay, you are just a guest when you say you are a guest. Tell me why you want to see me?" Ye Fang is not prepared to get too entangled in this matter. After all, Lu Jiaming does not have anything important to do. The main purpose of coming here today is to understand the other party. real.

"We know that Mr. Ye has made a lot of profits in the capital market with his precise vision in recent years. We are very optimistic about your asset strength and investment vision. We believe that if you cooperate with us, you will have a brighter future. ." Steve said with a smile.

"Cooperation? I don't know how to cooperate?" Ye Fang asked.

Steve saw that Ye Fang seemed to be very wise and said directly, "Mr. Ye, the world is made up of U.S. dollars. The United States is the United States of Americans and the United States of dollars. We control the largest collection of U.S. dollars in the world. We can even influence the way and amount of U.S. dollars issuance. As long as you follow our steps and obey our instructions, I guarantee that within ten years you will be the richest man in Asia or even the entire Eastern Hemisphere."

"You just want to recruit me and let me obey your commands and orders?" Ye Fang said with a raised eyebrow.

"I said this is a way of cooperation. We will have a professional team to manage your funds." Steve said arrogantly, as if he was not afraid that Ye Fang would not agree, because in Steve's impression of the Chinese This kind of operation is almost like a favor, a huge charity. Anyone would be happy to be manipulated and controlled by them.

"How much profit will I make every year by cooperating with you?" Ye Fang continued to ask.

Steve thought for a while and said, "Our capital operations are systematic. Every time we distribute the surplus in proportion to the amount of capital invested, the more you invest, the more you will get."

"That is to say, if I choose to cooperate with you, each action plan will be formulated by you. Can I view the detailed plan of the entire capital operation, and can I monitor the capital operation process at any time and supervise the profit results?"

Hearing what Ye Fang said, Steve's expression changed and he immediately replied, "Our capital operation plan is top secret. It is the core secret of all interest groups and cannot be shown to outsiders. Once leaked, the entire plan will be aborted. The losses then will be immeasurable.”

Ye Fang snorted coldly and said, "You keep everything confidential from me, but you ask me to disclose all the information to you. I don't know the entire operation process and profit situation. How can I be sure that the profit you share with me is what I deserve?" . I cannot accept your kind of non-sovereign cooperation, and our status is not equal."

"Don't make a toast and eat as a penalty. We will reward you with a bowl of rice. You should be grateful!" Ron from the Morgan Consortium shouted directly.

Toby from the Goldman Sachs consortium also interjected, "Mr. Ye, I don't know how many people in Hong Kong are begging us to take them to play! We have given you enough face by coming to talk to you about cooperation today. If you don't agree to cooperate, all our consortiums will unite If they get up and fuck you, can you withstand it? With the little funds you have, they will turn into cannon fodder in the capital market in minutes!"

"Ron, Toby! I'm talking about cooperation with Mr. Ye, don't interrupt!" Steve pretended to scold the other two people, and then forced a smile at Ye Fang and said, "Mr. Ye, the Chinese often say that peace makes two people happy." There are two advantages and two disadvantages. You should know that if your assets have not reached a certain standard, they will not come into our sight. The reason why we are willing to talk to you here today means that we sincerely invite you to join us. camp. Multiple friends in this world are far more important than multiple enemies. Am I right?"

Ye Fang looked at the singing of the three people without taking it seriously at all. He pointed at Steve and the three of them said calmly, "I just said that our statuses are not equal. You can't decide on the conditions I proposed. If we really want to talk, let you The boss behind it, come and talk to me.”

After hearing Ye Fang's words, Steve's face turned blue and white, and finally he slammed the table and shouted, "The three of us are the top leaders in Asia, and we are qualified to talk to you!"

Ye Fang shook his head with a smile and said, "I'm talking to you about business all over the world, and you can only decide things in Asia at most. There are too many things that you can't solve at all. To put it nicely, you are the regional director. To put it bluntly, I am just a watchdog of the capital consortium behind me. I have already given you enough face by talking to you here. Go back and tell your master that if you want to cooperate with me, come and talk to me yourself!"

"You--" Steve was so angry that he almost fainted. He had been in the Liangjiang area for so many years. Not to mention the richest man in the area, even senior government officials had to politely nod and bow when they saw him. Now, Ye Fang covered his head and scolded him. He lost face.

"Mr. Ye, you are already a person without a country. In Chinese terms, you are already a bereaved dog. It is a great gift that we, on behalf of the American free world, want to recruit you to join us! If you have this attitude, I guarantee you will regret it. !" Steve shouted.

"Stop threatening me! Do you think I'm scared? It's just a bunch of you, so I'm afraid of dirtying my hands!" Ye Fang counterattacked rudely.

This was the first time Linda had seen such a fierce verbal confrontation at the Zhongxuanlong Restaurant. The two sides were so tense that they were about to start a war!

"What are you waiting for? Come on!" Ron shouted loudly.

"It's over, my restaurant!" Linda immediately felt cold all over after hearing this loud shout.
