C388 Capture and Play Hard to Get
A group of waiters carried the food and wine that Shen Ao had ordered in advance into the room and placed them on the large round table that Shen Ao and the others were sitting around.
After the waiter left the private room, Liu Meiqi personally opened a bottle of Maotai wine and poured a small cup for the four people at the table. She then poured a cup for herself and raised the cup and said:
"Thank you all for coming to our restaurant. Tonight, I will be the host and offer you Buddha with borrowed flowers. Cheers to everyone first!"
After saying that, she took the lead to drink all the wine in the cup.
Shen Ao and the others also raised their wine cups and finished the wine in one go.
After Liu Meiqi filled up the wine cups of the few people, she said to Shen Ao, "Young Master Shen, I still have to go and greet other guests, so I'll be leaving first. I wish you all a good meal and have fun drinking to your heart's content!"
Shen Ao knew that they had something to discuss, so he did not urge them to stay. He said with a smile, "Manager Liu, you go ahead and do your work. Wait until you are done, then come and drink with us."
Liu Meiqi saw that Big Golden Tooth was still looking at her with a malicious look and said with disgust in her heart.
"Okay, I will try my best!"
Shen Ao immediately understood what she was thinking. He glared at Big Golden Tooth and thought, If this guy doesn't change this habit, sooner or later his trick will be ruined. In a while, I have to teach him a good lesson!"
Seeing Shen Ao staring at him, Big Golden Tooth realized that he had lost control of himself and quickly looked away.
After Liu Meiqi left the private room, Shen Ao raised his wine glass and said to Big Golden Tooth, "Mr Lee, welcome to this banquet, a friend of yours who came from afar. On one hand, it was to welcome you, and on the other, it was to introduce you to Director Ma. I hope we can have fun together. You feel at home here! "
Only then did Big Golden Tooth regain his senses and said, "Thank you, Young Master Shen, for your hospitality. Thank you for this sumptuous dinner!"
Shen Ao quickly corrected him. "Don't thank me. It's Director Ma's treat tonight. I'm just introducing you to each other."
"Then I thank Director Ma!" Big Golden Tooth smiled at Ma Junhao.
"Where? It is my honor to have invited such a distinguished guest like Mr Lee." Ma Junhao raised his glass and said, "This is a thin glass of wine. I do not respect you. It is my first time meeting you. Let me give you a glass of wine."
"Sure." Big Golden Tooth laughed heartily, revealing that sparkling golden tooth. He said, "Come, let's toast!"
After the few of them clinked their glasses and drank, Ma Xiaoli, who was sitting beside Ma Junhao, picked up the wine bottle and filled it up for the three of them.
Shen Ao gave Big Golden Tooth a look and deliberately asked, "Mr Lee, when you return to Rongcheng this time, do you want to invest in that project?"
Big Golden Tooth threw out a bait and said, "After two days of on-site inspection, I found a piece of land in the middle of the city. I am going to invest 1.5 billion USD, which is around 10.6 billion RMB. Build a new 'New Era' project on this piece of land, which is more troublesome due to the approval of that piece of land. He wanted to find a partner in Rongcheng. If Young Master Shen was interested... Why don't we force ourselves to work together and take down this project! "
Ma Junhao was tempted when he heard that Big Golden Tooth would take out such a big piece of cake.
He remembered that he had just been appointed as the vice chairman of Gu's Group by Gu Xiaohui because he was not experienced enough. He had no achievements and was looked down upon by everyone. Thus, he had the idea of collaborating with Big Golden Tooth to develop this ten billion yuan. Unfortunately, Big Golden Tooth had suggested working with Shen Ao. He could not pry into someone else's corner. Thus, he did not make a sound to snatch food from him.
Shen Ao saw through Ma Junhao's thoughts, so he purposely said to Big Golden Tooth:
"Mr Lee, to be honest, I am very interested in your investment in this project. I also hope to work with a multinational company like your Yuanyang Group. However... Our company has focused all of our manpower, resources, and financial resources on the shacks project, so we don't have the energy to work with you. It's such a pity... "
Ma Junhao saw that the opportunity had come. He was delighted in his heart. He quickly interrupted and said, "Young Master Shen, if your company is too busy, our company is willing to cooperate with Mr Lee!"
When Big Golden Tooth heard this, he deliberately frowned and asked, "Director Ma, does your company have the ability to work with our company? In other words, this project was perfecting the land approval and the early stages of building demolition. It requires a large sum of money. Can your company afford it? "
After hearing what Big Golden Tooth said, Ma Junhao's heart instantly turned cold.
Although he was appointed as the deputy chairman of Gu's Group's Finance Department, he had just entered the company and had not started work. He did not know anything about the company's financial situation and did not know how to answer.
Shen Ao saw through Ma Junhao's thoughts and quickly tried to smooth things over for Ma Junhao.
"Mr Lee, you have no idea. The economic strength of Gu's Group is above that of Shen's Group. I believe that this project will be completed very soon."
"Is that so?" Big Golden Tooth gave Shen Ao a disbelieving look and asked Ma Junhao, "Director Ma, even if our company is willing to cooperate with your company, can you represent the Gu's Group?"
"Not yet." Ma Junhao shook his head and said, "But I can convince the chairman of Gu's Group, Gu Xiaohui, to agree to cooperate with your company."
Big Golden Tooth said seriously, "Since Director Ma cannot represent the Gu's Group, then let's wait for you to convince the Director of the Director Gu, and then we can talk about the cooperation!"
"Then... Alright," Ma Junhao asked bitterly, "How should I contact you then?"
Big Golden Tooth took out a gold business card made in English from the pocket of his suit shirt and handed it to Ma Junhao.
"You can just call me according to the contact information on this business card."
Ma Junhao took the business card and looked at it. He saw the name cards with the words "Yuanyang Group" and "Mr Lee on them. He put the business card into his pocket as if he had found a treasure. He raised his glass and said,
" Mr Lee, I hope our company can cooperate with your company. I wish our cooperation can be successful. Come, let me toast to you! "
" Thank you! " Big Golden Tooth thanked him and raised his glass. He said, "However, let me say this first. My time in the mainland is limited. You have to hurry up. If time passes, I can't guarantee that I will be able to work with your company. "
Ma Junhao said without hesitation, "Don't worry. After I finish eating, I will go and find the chairman of Gu's Group, Gu Xiaohui, to discuss this matter."
After saying that, he clinked the glass with the glass in Da Jin Ya's hand and emptied the glass in one gulp. Da Jin Ya also drank up his own glass without any hesitation.
Seeing this scene, Ma Xiaoli felt a wave of sadness in her heart.
Because tonight, she originally planned to invite Ma Junhao out for dinner, and then everyone would sing together and then warm up together with Ma Junhao.
She did not expect that a large golden tooth would suddenly appear out of nowhere and disrupt her plan. It made her feel uncomfortable and unhappy.
