Chapter 213 Luck is an Important Factor in Success
"Okay, should I go down or should you, Manager Qin, come up?"
Zhang Yanming happily agreed.
As long as Manager Qin is not stupid about this matter, he will definitely come and discuss it so that he can have a good idea. If he doesn't come, something will be wrong. If he is asked to provide services, he must have an attitude whether he does it or not.
It must be unusual to be able to live here these days. Besides, the whole country is currently promoting investment, and the hotel is also a state unit. It would be good for him if the negotiation can be concluded.
The Capital Hotel is a state unit, and Manager Qin is also a high-ranking cadre. He is very sensitive to various policies. He is also someone who has been in contact with important foreign guests for many years, and his brain is not very good.
The waiter asked again and it should be Manager Qin.
"We, Manager Qin, invite you to come to the cafe downstairs and buy you a cup of coffee."
"Okay, I'll be down right away." Zhang Yanming put down the phone and thought for a moment, grabbed his purse and left the room with it in his hand.
Taking the elevator to the coffee shop on the second floor, Manager Qin was already waiting at the door. He came over with a smile and extended his right hand: "Hello Mr. Zhang, I'm Xiao Qin from the housekeeping department. I'm sorry to bother you."
"No, no, no, I was a little rash, and there's nothing I can do about it."
"Please, please come inside, let's sit down and talk." Manager Qin extended his hand to give way, slowed down half a step and followed Zhang Yanming into the coffee shop.
It was mid-morning and there were not many people in the coffee shop. There were only three foreigners sitting at two tables. Two were talking in low voices and the other was reading a newspaper. Zhang Yanming took a closer look at the People's Daily.
Holy shit, this foreigner can do it. How deep is his Chinese language skills so he can read a newspaper? You must know that being able to speak and listen and reading a newspaper are completely different things.
"This way, please." Manager Qin extended his hand again.
The two of them walked to the innermost corner. The seats here were like booths, semi-encircled. After sitting down, unless you came over specifically, you couldn't see the people inside from the outside.
After sitting down, the waiter immediately brought two cups of coffee over and placed them in front of the two of them with a sweet smile: "Please use it slowly."
"Add some sugar for me." Zhang Yanming didn't mean to be embarrassed at all. He couldn't get used to drinking coffee without sugar. Cafes in foreign-related places like this only serve the original fine grind series, and no sugar is added. .
In order to appear classy and experienced, many Chinese people drink plain coffee without adding sugar, eat steak medium-rare until it sizzles with blood, and pretend to be intoxicated as if they are used to it. Zhang Yanming really couldn't come.
The red wine must be sweet, the coffee must be sweetened, and the steak must be cooked well enough to be worthy of your stomach. Besides, aren’t you proud of the tenderness of your steak? Medium rare or medium rare or tender is nothing, eleven. The skill is to make the layers cooked but still tender.
In fact, even in foreign countries, it is normal for real foreigners to drink coffee with sugar and eat cooked steak.
"Where is Mr. Zhang's job?" Manager Qin asked the waiter politely, asking the waiter to add some sugar.
"Doing some small business, I just came back from America. Thank you." Zhang Yanming nodded and smiled at the waiter.
"Come back to invest? What project are you planning to do?" Manager Qin also put some sugar into his cup.
“I’m currently engaged in real estate, but I haven’t thought much about the future.”
"Our domestic policy prohibits foreign companies from entering the real estate and financial business as sole proprietors for the time being. Does Mr. Zhang understand?"
"I know. Because I am a shareholder of an international trading company in Amilika, I got a green card there, but I am still Chinese and use a Chinese passport. Moreover, I will never change my nationality."
"Mr. Zhang, did you register the company in China?"
"Yes, Ruhr. I am from the Ruhr. Steel City in the Ruhr Province."
"Mr. Zhang, how much do you plan to invest here? Can I ask? I need to get a rough idea first, please don't mind."
"It's okay, it should be. Basically, the starting price is 500 million. It depends on the specific situation in Haidian. How much land you invest will determine it, right?"
"No upper limit?"
"No, I have enough funds in China."
"Why Haidian? Are you not considering other more mature areas?"
98 At this time, Haidian is still a suburban county and has not yet entered the central urban area.
"Haidian." Zhang Yanming nodded: "At least, Haidian first, and we can talk about other things later." Let's put this aside for now. Manager Qin naturally understood what he meant: I have plenty of funds. Let's make a prototype here first and other places. If you think about the terms, you can come and talk to me.
Manager Qin nodded, hesitated, and Zhang Yanming took out East Asia's asset certificate from his bag and put it on the table: "I don't need a loan, and I don't need any harsh conditions. I just have the normal things. The main thing is, the land The blocks need to be big enough.”
Manager Qin picked up the asset certificate and looked at it. He smiled sheepishly at Zhang Yanming and returned his hands: "It seems that Mr. Zhang is full of confidence in the domestic economic development."
"Yes, I am very confident. I believe that our motherland will take off again. There is a phone number of Bank of East Asia on it. You can call one, so you know better. This is the Shanghai headquarters and this is the key customer service center."
Manager Qin smiled sheepishly and was about to speak when the phone rang in his pocket.
"You answer the phone first." Zhang Yanming raised his hand in a gesture of invitation.
"Sorry." Manager Qin said politely, took out the phone, looked at it, stood up and walked outside the booth to answer the call.
"Brother-in-law, how's that going?" Nowadays, all mobile phones have "built-in external playback function", and the call volume is very loud, so you don't have to listen deliberately.
"I'm asking, wait a minute."
"Then how long do we have to wait? I've already said what I said, how can I go anywhere if I'm so procrastinating? I've lost all my dignity."
"Who asked you to agree to this without asking me? Are you just trying to exchange foreign exchange for fun? Can I tell someone I'm not familiar with? How should I say it?"
"There are foreigners living in your unit every day, and you're not happy to make money for them? So, for eleven dollars, my buddy is really in a hurry."
"It's not a matter of how much money you have. You think foreigners are all rich people? Besides, the people living here are all civil servants who are neither high nor low. Can I catch anyone talking about this kind of thing? Do I still have to do my job? Really? Do you think I am the general manager of the hotel?"
"Then what should I do? I promised my friend, just wait for me to believe him. He is going out soon, what do you think we should do? Brother-in-law, please help me. I beg you, okay? From now on, what will happen to you outside? I'll keep it a secret for you in front of my sister, okay?"
"Is there anything I need you to keep secret? I'll think of a way."
