Jiang Shengli came to this teahouse for the first time!

The boss at the counter was reading a book with his head down, and Qiao Yuanfan was sitting at the window where he could see the Blue Shadow River.

"Hello, Mr. Joe. Jiang Shengli took the initiative to walk over.

"Mr. Jiang, please take a seat. Qiao Yuanfan picked up the teapot and poured water for Jiang Shengli: "Thank you, you are so busy, and you came to drink tea with me, an old man." ”

Jiang Shengli smiled: "Mr. Qiao is a world-famous orchid master, I don't know how many people regard your invitation as an honor, now you invite me to tea, even if I am busy, I will definitely arrive." ”

Qiao Yuanfan also smiled: "Mr. Jiang doesn't ask me what I am looking for you?"

"Mr. Joe always tells me when he wants to. ”

Qiao Yuanfan didn't go around in circles again: "Last time when the International Ocean Association elected the inspector general, I was very grateful to Mr. Jiang for voting for my insider, and I always wanted to find an opportunity to express my gratitude, so I took the liberty to invite you out today." ”

Jiang Shengli knew very well that Qiao Yuanfan could never just express his gratitude if he asked him out.

"Mr. Jiang, we're chatting anyway, let me tell you a story. Qiao Yuanfan said suddenly.

"Listen up. Jiang Shengli took a sip of tea.

"That's my own story. ”

Qiao Yuanfan slowly told a story.

Qiao Yuanfan has been known as a "prodigy" since he was a child, and he can learn everything as soon as he learns it, especially in raising orchids, his talent is surprising.

It is precisely because of this that Qiao Yuanfan is arrogant and does not look down on the people around him.

At the age of 12, he quietly left home alone to find a new orchid variety.

In front of an old house, he saw a young man in his twenties fiddling with orchids, just a pot of ordinary varieties.

Although Qiao Yuanfan was just a child back then. But he sneered very disdainfully: "This is also an orchid?"

The young man was not angry at all, but smiled and asked, "Then what do you think is an orchid?"

"Treasures, unique items, and even varieties of orchids that only exist in the records of the ancients. Qiao Yuanfan was not stage frightened at all: "In addition to these, raising ordinary orchids is just a boring thing." ”

The young man shook his head: "Actually, ordinary people are not necessarily bad. Is there really a difference between the ordinary ones and what you said? This pot I raise is indeed the most common variety. But what about the treasures you are talking about? What about unique products? Some people have raised them. Varieties that only exist in the records of the ancients? or have been raised, and I don't think it's much different from my pot. ”

Although Qiao Yuanfan is talented and smart. But after all, he was still a child at the time, and he didn't know how to refute his words.

The young man continued: "The pursuit of rare and lost varieties seems to me to be a craftsman, and you are just repeating what your predecessors have done. From this point of view, there is no difference between your treasure and my ordinary orchid, we are just craftsmen. ”

Qiao Yuanfan suddenly felt that what he said made sense.

What is the difference between pursuing the varieties that have been cultivated by predecessors and being a craftsman? This is not the path of the master that I want to pursue.

Could it be that this young man is a master of the world described in martial arts novels?

When Qiao Yuanfan tentatively asked this question, the young man couldn't help but laugh: "How can there be so many outsiders? I just like to raise orchids, but my talent is limited." I can't raise it well. Look at this pot, it's going to be raised by me again. ”

"You're doing it wrong. Qiao Yuanfan unconsciously squatted beside the young man.

"Since then, I have become good friends with this young man. Qiao Yuanfan seemed to fall into memories when he said this: "I ran to young people whenever I was free. He was really bad at raising orchids, but I was very bad at being a person. I'm proud and arrogant, and I have no one in my eyes. But after getting to know him, I slowly learned the truth of being a human being from him. They all say that I am crazy and talented, and I have never had a teacher, only I teach others. Actually, I still have teachers. ”

Qiao Yuanfan's teacher is this young man!

It's just that what Qiao Yuanfan learned from this young man is the truth of being a human being.

After listening to this story, Jiang Shengli smiled bitterly: "This young man's name is Jiang Genzu, right?"

Qiao Yuanfan smiled and nodded.

Now Jiang Shengli knows why Qiao Yuanfan wants to tell this story to himself.

Because Jiang Genzu is his father.

Jiang Shengli never dreamed that Qiao Yuanfan actually knew his father, and there was such a relationship in it.

"Then your father moved. Qiao Yuanfan sighed: "He and I are also teachers and friends." On the day of the separation, I called him 'Teacher'. ”

"No wonder. No wonder. Jiang Shengli said repeatedly: "When my father is older, he always says that although my Jiang Genzu has an ordinary life, he has a famous student who moves the world. But when we asked who it was, he always wouldn't say. ”

"I didn't know when your father died, but unfortunately I wasn't able to give him his last ride. Qiao Yuanfan was a little regretful, then stared at Jiang Shengli and said, "Your temper and personality are not at all like your father. ”

Jiang Shengli did not deny it: "I have thought my father was a very useless person since I was a child. I was content with the status quo and didn't want to make progress, so I vowed never to be like him in the future. ”

"I'm done with your father, now tell me about yourself. Qiao Yuanfan suddenly changed his words: "Your company has encountered great difficulties recently?"

Did you come to see your own jokes?

Jiang Shengli nodded calmly, anyway, many people know about this.

"You still have a funding gap of 35 million. Qiao Yuanfan seemed to know everything: "Otherwise, you won't be able to survive this month, so be it." I invest you 35 million. ”

"Huh?" Jiang Shengli couldn't help but cry out no matter how calm he was.

His nemesis, Lei Huanxi's father, actually wants to invest his own money?

"You, because of my father?" Jiang Shengli forced himself to calm down.

"There are reasons for this, but not all. Qiao Yuanfan said lightly: "There is another reason for my son Lei Huanxi." Red Coral Capital has crushed you, and the next target will be Lei Huanxi. If you don't fall, you're still a shield for my son. After all, until now, Huanxi was not ready. ”

Jiang Shengli somewhat understood.

Qiao Yuanfan took great pains for his son, no matter how he wanted his Xihai Group to be on the front line, he could buy as long as he could for Lei Huanxi.

"That's 35 million, which is not a small number. Jiang Shengli was still a little suspicious: "Even your wife's Huanhai Group can't come up with so much money at once, right?"

"I'm an orchid breeder, and a lot of people who want to be vassals and nobles are willing to be friends with me. Qiao Yuanfan smiled and said: "There are many rich people among them, so I am sure that I want to make such a sum of money." ”

He waved his hand and stopped Jiang Shengli, who wanted to speak: "But I have conditions to invest in you, and I want shares in your shipping company." ”

Jiang Shengli completely understood: "You want to use the 35 million to buy the shares of my shipping company?"

"I was wrong, not 35 million, but 50 million. Qiao Yuanfan smiled: "I want to invest in your shipping company." ”

"Why?" Jiang Shengli completely calmed down: "Although I have encountered great difficulties in operation, my shipping company is running well, and it is also one of the most profitable companies under Xihai Group, why should I sell it to you?"

"First, you're having financial difficulties, and you need money urgently. 50 million cash can keep you up for a while. Qiao Yuanfan said unhurriedly:

"Second, you can't solve the financial dilemma now, and no bank will lend you money. Your end result is to mortgage the shipping company. Who are you mortgaging to? Zhu Jinyan or Adrian? Who else but them can scrape together such a large sum of cash in a short period of time? No. Sooner or later, this shipping company will no longer belong to you in your current situation. Why don't you let me take a stake in that, I'm your father's student after all!"

Jiang Shengli fell silent.

It was a long time before he said, "You give me three days to think about it." ”

"Absolutely. Qiao Yuanfan said briskly: "Not only will I give you three days to think about it, but I will also ask my friend to call you 10 million for you to have an emergency." ”

This was once again beyond Jiang Shengli's expectations: "Aren't you afraid that I will turn my face and not recognize people?"

"You won't. Qiao Yuanfan smiled: "Because in this way, you have one more enemy besides Zhu Jinyan and Adrian, and I will ask for far more than these 10 million from you in the future!"

"If you take a stake in my shipping company, what will be the return in the future that will be more than the 50 million?" Jiang Shengli smiled bitterly: "The down-and-out phoenix is not as good as a chicken." You will take a piece of meat from me, and he will take a piece of meat from me. Mr. Qiao, you don't have to wait for three days, tomorrow, tomorrow you will send someone to our company to sign the contract. ”

Jiang Shengli left, very lonely.

Xiao Huan stood up at this time: "This person is finished." ”

"Oh, why?" Qiao Yuanfan was a little curious.

"I don't know how to do business, I'm a layman in this area. Xiao Huan stared at the door: "But I can feel that the last words he said no longer have fighting spirit." Uncle Qiao, a person is not afraid of anything, and what he is most afraid of is that he has no fighting spirit. He's finished, maybe he was brilliant before, but this time he's really finished, and he doesn't even have a chance to turn over. ”

"But I still need him to stand there. Qiao Yuanfan said in a daze: "Lei Huanxi is not ready yet, he doesn't know what is really terrible yet." He thought he had defeated Adrien, but Adrien didn't have any strength at all. For Adrien, Zhu Nanzhen's defeat was just a small setback, but Lei was glad that he couldn't afford to lose, and if he lost, his in-laws would be on the spot. ”

For his son, Qiao Yuanfan has really done his best!(To be continued.) )
