Chapter 76: 1 fairy smoke
"Li Sheng, it seems that your reputation in the United States is not small!" Mei Lanfang who stepped down came from the crowd.
"Both are fake names, Brother Heming, let's talk separately." Li Zitao invited.
"Okay." Mei Lanfang nodded when he looked a little serious.
No one called, and went directly into the small meeting room. The monk who had been invisible was blocked at the door.
"Look, I said this kind of big guy must go with his bodyguards when they go out. People do this." Several Chinese in extraordinary dresses joined together in a small circle to communicate.
"Huh, I haven't found it before." Another said with some surprise.
"Well, did you look over there, did you see that?" The observant youth pointed to the wall.
Two bodyguards were standing beside the stone pillar beside the banquet hall, standing silently, glancing blankly around them. It would be difficult to notice their existence if they were not specifically observed.
Looking around again, they realized that there were the same bodyguards in all corners, and several people were sighed with emotion.
In the living room of the small meeting, Li Zitao lit a cigar and handed it to Mei Lanfang and asked, "Taste something fresh?"
"Then it's disrespectful." Mei Lanfang pondered indirectly.
He does not smoke, but he is no stranger to cigars. As the most famous protagonist, Mei Lanfang has a lot of great people in contact.
Especially the pearl that he is now settled in, it is the Asian financial center, known as the oriental pearl by western countries. There are countless foreigners in the world, and nothing new has ever been seen.
"Inviting Brother Heming to come here, mainly to say two things." Throwing incense wood chips into the ashtray, watching Mars suddenly dim, Li Zitao's gaze seems to change accordingly.
"Li Sheng, please say." Xu is aware that his tone is a little heavy, Mei Lanfang said solemnly.
"I got news from RB that the power of the young hawks in the country is gradually expanding, and they are under the control of them together with the cabinet. These hawks are planning a conspiracy.
The details of the plan have not been obtained by my people, but the ultimate goal of this incident is to fully occupy the three eastern provinces. They want to support the puppet emperor to form a false government! "
Mei Lanfang was shocked by the news. The hand holding the cigar trembles suddenly, and the ash fell on the gown.
"I hope Brother Heming can write a ghostwriting and pass this news to the young commander as soon as possible." Li Zitao had no courage to become a savior, nor did he have the responsibility.
But he still felt what he should do, such as reminding Zhang Shaoshuai's RB conspiracy, such as a large amount of donations.
"I will transfer US$10 million in capital through Chase Bank and Citibank, respectively, as capital for subsidizing the young handsome against R."
The investment of 20 million US dollars was enough for Zhang Shaoshuai to turn the Dongshu Army into the first army of the Republic of China.
"Useless." Mei Lanfang's bitter smile made him stunned.
"Brother Heming?" Li Zitao looked at him for unknown reasons.
"Don't say it's $20 million, even Jinshan Yinshan is useless, young handsome~~" Mei Lanfang closed her eyes in pain: "Opium."
The simple and simple two words made Li Zitao be struck by lightning, his strength poured like a torrent, and his straight waist became rickety.
What kind of virtue is an addict, Li Zitao has not only seen it with his own eyes, there are countless cruel stories in the previous life that made people cry.
Killing his wife and selling his son, killing his mother, and father and son turning their backs, as long as there is a ‘fairy smoke,’ the end of the world has nothing to do with him.
came out of the small meeting room, Li Zitao looked ugly, and agreed with Mei Lanfang to the Chicago Grand Theater, and then took Lawrence and Zhao Yaozhong away.
Zao Yaozhong originally did not intend to leave, but after Li Zitao promised Mei Lanfang at the Chicago Grand Theater next month and asked him to watch the seven-day show for a consecutive time, the problem was solved.
"Hey!" Even with Mei Lanfang's open-mindedness, when he saw Li Zitao leaving with his back in the back, he couldn't bear to sigh.
But the news he said earlier, Mei Lanfang still remembered in his heart, thinking about whether to pass the news to the national government with a pen to see if he could make some meager efforts.
Just remembered Zhang Shaoshuai's control of the three eastern provinces and the prestige of the Zhang family...
"Charlie, you look very unhappy, did you quarrel with May?" Lawrence asked a little curiously in the elevator.
"No." Li Zitao shook his head without saying much.
Zhao Yaozhong was also curious about what happened to them in the small meeting room, but Li Zitao did not say that he was also embarrassed to ask.
"Brother Zhao, sit whatever you want." Came to the luxury suite on the top floor, greeted Zhao Yaozhong to sit down, and Li Zitao's mood calmed down again.
He has done what he can. He is not a military genius, nor can he throw away all industries and bring money back to join the war of resistance.
Don't say that this kind of thing cannot be changed with money. Even if Li Zitao does this, no matter how many people are willing to go back with him.
Considering the complicated situation in the future in the country, his best ending is to kick off his family's wealth and become a warlord and play politics. Li Zitao is really not that material.
"Brother Zhao, I have some assets and influence in the United States. I am planning to spend a lot of money to build a laboratory in the field of aviation research. I wonder if you are interested?"
Although the discomfort and guilt of suppressing the bottom of my heart, Li Zitao's emotions are still not high, and he is not in a mood to talk, and he discussed with Zhao Yaozhong straight.
Zhao Yaozhong is caught in a contradiction, on the one hand is advanced technology and conditions, comprehensive support of capital.
The side is the home country, the orders and expectations of the brothers and sisters when they see off.
"Brother Zhao hasn't finished his studies yet, would you like to continue studying between countries? It's better to wait until Brother Zhao wants to return home one day, I will never stop!"
Seeing that Zhao Yaozhong was caught in a tangled contradiction, Li Zitao gave the greatest sincerity: "And I believe hosting a cutting-edge laboratory will be of great help to Brother Zhao."
For the talented person Li Zitao is also shameless, and directly gave the name of the "tip" to the laboratory that he has not yet established.
"What you said is true?" Zhao Yaozhong was impressed.
He is just a student, not to mention that he has not yet obtained a doctorate, even if he has obtained a degree, don't want to be the person in charge of a laboratory here.
Zhao Yaozhong has his self-confidence and pride in learning and technology, but when this kind of thing has nothing to do with learning and technology, but only related to national conditions, skin color, and nationality, he can only sigh.
Now Li Zitao has assured him that the most cutting-edge instruments, top assistants, the cooperation of the top college laboratories, plus the conditions for full decentralization and freedom to come and go.
"Of course." When getting this answer from Li Zitao's mouth again, Zhao Yaozhong stood up excitedly.
"Okay, then it's a word, this laboratory director, I did." Zhao Yaozhong said fervently.
Li Zitao was also very excited. This joy even diminished his inner depression. He got up and said, "We must celebrate."
said that Li Zitao came to the bar and saw the QD on it at a glance.
Lisi has a record of customer preferences. Li Zitao only drank this beer at the banquet many times. Of course, this will not be mistaken by Ritz, which is famous for its service.
"Next." After taking off two bottles of QD, Li Zitao threw it towards Lawrence, making him bored in a daze by the bottle.
"FK, Charlie, you can't be treated differently because of race." He grabbed the bottle and watched Li Zitao open the beer himself, and handed it to Zhao Yaozhong. Lawrence said angrily.
"Want to make money?" Li Zitao asked.
"Hey, we're brothers." Lawrence changed his face, started a beer, and embraced his shoulders with enthusiasm, as if what he just said was not what he said.
"......" looked at these two teasers in silence, Zhao Yaozhong drunk the beer, and said, "This beer is really sweet!"
"When the laboratory is completed, I will send someone to pick you up." The next day, Li Zitao bought the ticket and sent him back to the plane in California.
Sweet Yao Zhaozhong took Li Zitao's promise to return to California to continue to complete his own project, to ensure that he graduated as soon as possible.
Li Zitao also said goodbye to Mei Lanfang and boarded the flight back to Chicago.
"Let our people always pay attention to Zhao Yaozhong, and help him solve any difficulties." The first thing to return to Chicago is to confess to paying attention to Zhao Yaozhong at this moment.
"BOSS, McDonald's can be completed tonight. After consulting the franchisee, the unified opening time is set to February 1."
"Why is it February 1st? Can it be postponed or advanced?" On February 1st he is going to participate in the first Academy Awards, and he can't spare time!
"According to their statement, February 1st is the third day of the Spring Festival. Lucky day~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Because 22 districts are all Chinese families, and McDonald's is the only franchisee currently, this is a Chinese festival Have a general understanding.
The Spring Festival is the most important holiday of the Chinese year, just as important as Thanksgiving.
"I forgot, Spring Festival!" Li Zitao patted his head.
"Tomorrow." Ben pointed to the calendar on the table to remind.
"Is there any celebration plan for District 22?" A shooting caused Li Zitao to become busy again, and the crazy party he had prepared was soaked.
"Huang arranged operas and dances, as well as some gifts." For the taboos and habits of Chinese festivals, Ben was unfamiliar after all and did not interfere.
As for the opera and dance he said, it was actually a drama and a lion dance performance.
"That's good." In this way, tonight is New Year's Eve and you have to eat dumplings.
"I have to go home for the holidays. I have something to say tomorrow." Li Zitao stood up and was ready to leave.
"BOSS, this is a gift that everyone has prepared for you, happy holidays." Ben pulled out a two-finger long box from his pocket.
"Can you open it to see?" Li Zitao was a little curious.
"Of course." Ben nodded.
Open the box, inside it is a pen, beautiful agate red, it has a great texture in the hand, pull out the cap, the gold-plated nib looks gorgeous and noble.
"Parker Century series, the most expensive fountain pen on the market, I hope you like it." This introduction said.
"I like it very much, thank you for helping me." Li Zitao inserted it into the suit pocket with satisfaction, keeping it close to the same as the previous Daban series.
He has seen this pen in the newspaper and is called the most expensive pen on the market, each costing $7.
Although the price is not high, but he likes this gift very much.
