why continue

Huo Shouye’s trip to Switzerland was also a work schedule, and the schedule was relatively tight. When Byron and his assistant confirmed the time, it went smoothly. Chu Ting invited him personally, and Huo Shouye specifically asked his assistant to spare the time. Traditional restaurant.

As the host, Chu Wei arrived 10 minutes earlier. As a successful businessman, Huo Shouye is also a very time-conscious person. He arrived at the restaurant on time before the appointed time.

The two sat down after some courteous greetings. The time they made an appointment was lunch time. After they were seated, the chef of the restaurant presented today's menu for the restaurant.

The chef recommended the Icelandic specialty hakarl, but neither of them seemed to have any curiosity in food, so they both rejected the chef's recommendation, and the chef took it for granted, and re-recommended smoked fish and lamb to the two guests.

The wine is the top collection of Petrus 1982 recommended by the boss, and the two of them have no opinion this time.

The two don't have many personal relationships, and more topics are still in business affairs. The Huo family started out in the shipping industry, and the core of the group is still in the shipping sector. Over the years, the traditional core sector has also begun to expand to other industries while advancing with the times. Stretching out tentacles, especially after Huo Shouye took over the Huo Group, his actions were much bigger than when Mr. Huo was in power.

When it came to Huo's biomedical case in Europe, the two also chatted a few words about the topic of flying around.The core of Huo's family is shipping, and Chu Ting's main business is energy, but in the past two years, there has been an intention to develop in this area.

Talking about how the Huo Group got involved in this area, Huo Shouye did not hide it, "The development of this domestic industry is still relatively limited for the time being, and the blank area for research and development is relatively large, and the inherent conditions for the development and progress of the field are relatively superior. .”

Chu Wei agrees with this conclusion. The country has always been relatively backward in the field of high-tech research and development, which started late. While basic industries have been fully and steadily developed, it is the country's policy preference to vigorously develop blank areas. People who can smell business opportunities There are naturally many people, but there are very few who are truly capable of getting involved and investing a lot of money and manpower.

"Mr. Chu should be looking at the prospect of this market, right?"

Everyone has the same intention and different goals, so there is no need to pretend to hide it, "there is a market demand in the country." There is not much competition, the market is huge, and it is the instinct of businessmen to move for profit.

Speaking of this, the two raised their glasses tacitly and clinked their glasses. The topic of the new investment direction ended temporarily after this clink of glasses. Huo Shouye then brought up the two parties and A. P this new cooperation intention.

This work is still in progress for the time being. It started only after they met unexpectedly two days ago, and they haven't sat down to discuss formally. It's too early to talk about specific matters. At this time, Chu Xuan already knew that Huo Shouye should The main purpose of this appointment was probably not to discuss business matters, but Huo Shouye went around in circles with Tai Chi, and Chu Xuan was not in a hurry to hand over the topic.

They are all smart people, why does a thousand-year-old fox play Liaozhai?

Seeing that the lunch time was coming to an end, it was not unreasonable for two people with no personal acquaintances to stare at each other so hard. Huo Shouye's topic of going around for a whole noon finally fell on what he really wanted to talk about.

"I heard that Mr. Chu handled a merger and acquisition case in Yuecheng a few days ago. Did it go well?"

"We've discussed the specifics, and we're waiting for the final result." The peace talks didn't go well, and the two sides were still seeing each other, but the initiative was in his own hands, and Chu Wei was not in a hurry. When he left Yuecheng, he gave the opposing group the last time , if the other party does not nod, they will directly abandon this round of mergers and acquisitions, and both parties will pay for their respective losses.

It's about commercial secrets. Seeing that Chu Xuan doesn't want to talk too much, Huo Shouye is also a measured person. He knows that he can't continue to ask this question. If you ask this question again, it's over. "Then I wish Mr. Chu all the best." .”

"Borrow a good word from Chairman Huo." The two raised their glasses and clinked again.

The waiter in the restaurant delivered the dessert. The meal was coming to an end. Both of them were very busy at work. After lunch, the appointment came to an end.

Huo Shouye put down his wine glass, picked up the small fork on the dessert plate, and said, "Yocheng is a good place."

Chu Xuan was not interested in desserts, so he didn't move, "It's not bad."

The dessert was too sweet, so he gave up after taking a sip, "It's just that law and order are a little messed up."

"The city center is fine too." Chu Xuan cleared his mouth with lemonade.

When the two came and went, they were both decent people on the scene. Even if he knew that this person might be doing it on purpose, Huo Shouye didn't think it was a problem, besides, he was just guessing.

"The outskirts of the city are more chaotic. People don't dare to set foot in places like Soweto."

Chu Ting shook his head, "I don't really understand that."

Hearing his words, Huo Shouye frowned calmly.

Did you guess wrong?But how could it be such a coincidence?As soon as this person arrived in Johannesburg, the child was taken away from Soweto?

It is not an easy task to take out a person with a special skin color in a place like Soweto without alarming the surroundings.Apart from him and Huo Yuanyang, he couldn't think of anyone else besides this person who could go to a foreign country thousands of miles away to find someone.

He asked Mandela. Mandela only knew that people were taken away, but he didn't know who was taken away. He didn't know how to avoid Mandela's "underground president" in a place like Johannesburg. It takes a lot of energy to take away a person with eyes and ears, but it is absolutely impossible for ordinary people.So, he couldn't think of anyone other than this person who was involved with the kid and happened to be in Johannesburg.

But now, if people don't admit it, he has nothing to do.

He couldn't speak clearly and ask the other party if he took the person away. He had neither identity nor position, and he wasn't even the one who sent the person to Chu Ting's bed in the first place.

The Petrus produced in 1982 is indeed a top vintage wine. It has a balanced body, a rich taste, and a full-bodied aroma. It is a pity that I am not in the mood to taste it carefully today. After clearing his mouth, seeing that he had finished his meal, Chu Ting checked the time, and it happened to be about the same time.

The assistant was already waiting at the entrance of the restaurant, and the two left the restaurant together. Huo Shouye politely shook hands with Chu Ting and said goodbye, "Mr. Chu, then we can make another appointment when we have time, and I will leave first."

"Appoint again when you have time, Chairman Huo." Chu Xuan shook hands with him, and watched him leave in the car.

For some reason, Huo Shouye didn't politely lower the window to say goodbye to Chu Xuan who was still standing at the door of the restaurant after getting into the car.

His car turned the corner of the intersection, and Byron and the driver arrived late, Byron hurriedly got out of the car and opened the door for the boss, "Sorry, boss."

It's not a good assistant's job to leave the boss waiting on the side of the road.

"It's okay." Chu Ting didn't care. After sitting down, he unbuttoned and placed the packed red wine in his hand. Because it was a weekday, it was noon, and he still had work in the afternoon. He drank less than one-third of a bottle of wine , The wine is good wine, it's a pity to waste it, the boss packed it up and handed it to him, and he took it away.

"Petrus!" As soon as the car door was closed, Byron's eyes lit up with the faint fragrance.

When Chu Ting heard this, he handed it over, "I've opened it, do you mind?" He doesn't have much hobbies or interests in wine, neither greedy nor repulsive, although he can't help these professional players love wine so much. I understand, but it doesn't prevent him from respecting other people's hobbies.

"Oh, of course not! Thank you, Boss!" Byron took it in surprise, put the mouth of the bottle under his nose and sniffed, his eyes lit up, "This is—"

"I don't hear much about the boss's private collection." The documents on the back seat are the materials of the afternoon meeting. The meeting will start in half an hour, and he needs this short post-dinner break to get into work.

Byron sniffed and sniffed, the cork-sealed mouth of the bottle only had a faint aroma of wine, which was not satisfying at all. He held the bottle and looked left and right, but he didn't give up. After hours of meeting documents, he secretly pulled out the cork, the rich aroma of wine went straight to his nose, he took a deep breath intoxicated, satisfied.

"It's working time now."

Byron heard the words from the back seat, and immediately put the cork back on the bottle, "Yes, boss, that's why I didn't drink."

"You will be fired if you drink it." Chu Xuan said without raising his head.

"I'm sorry, boss." This bottle of wine made him lose his composure, and he forgot the attitude that a qualified and competent assistant should have. Say, it's work time.

Chu Ting didn’t really want to argue with him. Byron has worked for many years and has never delayed any work because of his little hobby. If he really wanted to care about him, he would not give him the wine. The vice president will follow up."

"Huh?" Byron froze for a moment, then nodded, "Okay, I'll notify President Kang in a moment." He was a little puzzled, but it didn't affect his execution.

Huo's business has always been handled by the boss himself, not to mention that this new cooperation plan also involves A. The tripartite cooperation of P company, why the boss and Chairman Huo just had a lunch appointment, so the friendship is so good?Isn't this casual like a boss' style?

Byron is a qualified and competent assistant, he will never talk too much when he shouldn't ask, such as the short-term notice from the boss, he knows that he only needs to implement it, and he doesn't need to talk too much.

The restaurant is not far from the company, just a 10-minute drive away, Chu Wei returned to the office with the unfinished documents in the car, when the afternoon meeting ended, it was already 10:30 in the evening, the person in charge of the Swiss branch invited him The proposal to sit together was declined by him, and it was late at night when he got home. When he got out of the car, he habitually looked at the windows of the father and son's room. There was a cluster of warm yellow light, and he paused briefly. After a few steps, he lifted his foot and walked into the house.
