Chapter 335 The Emperor's New Clothes
Hanoi
Chen Jiaju strolls in this city with a mix of Eastern and Western cultures under the French colonization. Most of the two sides of the streets are low and dilapidated low brick houses. Only a few European-style foreign buildings occasionally seen in the flowers in the distance, looming in the misty rain.
After staying in Guangzhou for a few more days, Chen Jiaju arranged for Li Shiqing to stay and continue to be responsible for the development of the Guangzhou market. He hurried away with two guards.
Indeed, the coal mine business in Vietnam can no longer be delayed.
As soon as he arrived in Hanoi, Chen Jiaju got a bad news. Someone wanted to get involved!
Chen Jiaju is going to visit the owner of the coal mine today, a Frenchman named Ligg. In any case, the coal mine can't slip away from his hands like this.
Looking at the relaxed boss, a guard said strangely, "Boss, didn't you just know that someone was going to grab business with us? Why are you so happy?"
Chen Jiaju smiled and turned his head to look at him and said, "A Feng, you don't understand. The most proud thing in life is to have a good opponent. Otherwise, how do you feel if you have practiced a good ability but have no place to use it?"
"Oh," A Feng suddenly realized, "The boss is right... However, no matter how well I practice, it's 108,000 miles worse than the boss!"
Give Ah Feng a shudder. Chen Jiaju laughed and scolded, "You boy will flatter him. Look at A Fu, how calm he is!"
A Fu smiled and said, "Boss, in fact, what A Feng said is exactly what I want to say. Compared with you, we are not even as good as you!"
Chen Jiaju's words are stuffed, and he sells cakes. Who did these stinky kids learn from? You are better at patting horses one by one!
When I arrived at the residence of the Frenchman Lig, it was already in the afternoon of that day.
As soon as Chen Jiaju was about to call the door, he saw the door of the foreign building open. Several short people with yellow skin were nodding and bowing goodbye to a white man.
Chen Jiaju's eyes condensed. It seemed that there was really a good show. It was actually a Japanese!
Looking at these arrogant little Japan who missed, Chen Jiaju's face did not change. He was thinking that the Japanese intervened in this coal mine at this time, which put a lot of pressure on him. This Frenchman has a bargaining chip to sit firmly on the Diaoyutai!
When the white man standing at the door saw Chen Jiaju and his party, he naturally understood their intention. He politely said in English, "Hello, but Mr. Chen?"
Chen Jiaju smiled and said, "Exactly, you are Mr. Rigg, right? Nice to meet you, Nice to meet you!"
Rig knew that his practice of meeting two batches of buyers at the same time was not very authentic. He laughed dryly and said, "Welcome, welcome, Mr. Chen, come on, please inside!"
Chen Jiaju and others followed Lige into the room.
At first sight of the brilliant living room, Chen Jiaju began to praise Lige: "Dear Mr. Lige, I have to say that your taste is really elegant! Well, these are all real works of art, right?
Li Ge's heart moved. This young Chinese is not simple. He can actually see my treasure here under this side. It's really a good thing.
"That's right," after Li Ge asked Chen Jiaju to sit down, motioned the servant to bring coffee, and said proudly, "Mr. Chen seems to be a fellow. The porcelain, oil paintings, and even the furniture in my living room are quite old antiques. How about it? Can you get into Mr. Chen's eyes?"
Chen Jiaju actually opened the river by the mouth. He pretended to be solemn. After exploring, he repeatedly complimented, "Okay, okay, I don't dare to say anything else, but this porcelain is produced in China, and I really know one or two things. Well, this is a typical blue and white porcelain. It's rare to keep it so well. Mr. Rigg, I have to say that you really have eyesight!"
"Hahaha!" The itch in Lige's heart was really happy to be scratched by Chen Jiaju. For a moment, he completely forgot the purpose of Chen Jiaju's coming and regarded him as an antique-loving playmate.
Chen Jiaju curled the corners of his mouth and secretly said, he was really an old man. He was probably cheated!
This is a good blue and white porcelain, but it's just a very common blue and white porcelain! I'm really impressed by such a shameful show! However, brother, I won't be the stupid boy who talks about wearing the emperor's new clothes!
After the greeting, Rigg seemed to remember the purpose of Chen Jiaju's visit, restored his former calmness, and said politely, "Mr. Chen also came for the coal mine that I want to change hands this time, right? You have seen this situation. Those guests just now also came for this.
Chen Jiaju picked up the coffee on the coffee table, stirred it gently with a spoon, and smiled, "Mr. Rieger is really fast talkative. Yes, I'm here for your coal mine. It's normal to have competitors. The key is that I still want to know, dear Mr. Ligg, what are your plans?
Ligg supported his jaw with his right hand and said thoughtfully, "To be honest, I sell this business to anyone. In this case, I can only say that whoever the price is higher will sell it to."
Chen Jiaju said lightly, "I understand what Mr. Lige means. Can I understand it this way? If the other party withdraws from the competition, then the price of this business is negotiated between the two sides?"
After hearing Chen Jiaju's words, Li Ge, who was intoxicated with reverie, couldn't help shivering. My God, what did this young man just say? Does the other party withdraw from the competition? How is this possible?
Looking at the light and light Chen Jiaju, Li Ge's heart had a clear understanding, God! It turned out that this young man looked like a cute little sheep, but he didn't expect it to be a tiger in the mountains!
He subconsciously patted Rieger on his forehead, went to the back seat of the sofa, and mourned in his heart. He thought it would be a profitable business, but he didn't want to attract the fierce tigers and hungry wolves in all directions. This is really unlucky!
Chen Jiaju was amused by Ligg's reaction. It seems that this Frenchman is really a gentleman who doesn't care about the world. What's the matter? It scared him like this.
"Dear Mr. Rigg, please rest assured that we are all civilized people, and we will definitely abide by the world's common business standards. Of course, if someone dares to mess up, then we won't be polite!" Chen Jiaju seemed to be explaining to Rigg.
Rig is thinking, go and lie to the ghost! What is the world's common business standard? Well, you can fight as much as you want. Anyway, as long as I throw this hot potato out, I will be relieved.
Looking at Chen Jiaju with a calm face, Rigg was thinking, is this handsome young man in front of him really Chinese? It is said that the East Asian region is extremely arrogant among the Japanese, but it is the opposite here. This Chinese is extremely strong, not to mention that this Japanese is like a good grandson. What a strange thing!
