At night, the top-floor duplex mansion of the Yang family is brightly lit. In the dining room on the first floor, the huge dining table is filled with all kinds of dishes, all of which are the old man’s favorite Cantonese dishes. No one moves their chopsticks to the table of delicious delicacies. Everyone is busy. chatted.
"Grandpa, why did you come to New York suddenly?" Yang Cheng sat next to Liu Muqian, and Yang Sen and Liu Yun sat opposite.
Liu Muqian looked at his daughter and son-in-law, and seeing that they were also curious, he sighed and said, "Oh, this time I came here to see Xiaocheng, and secondly, to ask Xiaocheng for help for an old friend."
"What's the matter? Why did you fly to New York on purpose?" Yang Sen asked Yang Cheng with a surprised look.
Yang Cheng also looked at the grandpa who seemed to be having a hard time talking, "Grandpa, who is your old friend? Do I know him?"
"It's Lin Furong from Singapore." Liu Muqian shook his head and said a name that the three members of the Yang family had never heard before.
"He just bought a La Liga team in May." Liu Muqian added.
However, Yang Cheng still hadn't heard of this name.
"Grandpa, if you have anything to say, just tell me straight up, and be polite to me." Yang Cheng didn't bother to inquire about this person's background. Grandpa finally opened his mouth to him once, and he was ready to agree to anything.
"That's right, Dad, you still meet your grandson like this?" Liu Yun also chimed in.
Liu Muqian blushed in a rare way, and cleared his throat to cover up his embarrassment, "Lin Furong wants to buy Xiaocheng's property in Korea."
"My business in Korea? Cy Entertainment?" Yang Cheng exclaimed with her mouth open.
After half a year of development, cy entertainment has established a firm foothold in the Korean entertainment industry, holding the two trump cards of n.e.w company and megabox theater chain, its rise is unstoppable.
And because of the good cooperation of Hershey Company, cy entertainment has formed a strategic alliance with cj entertainment, the overlord of the Korean entertainment industry, to carry out all-round cooperation in the fields of film and television production, screening, etc. With this relationship, those who want to give cy entertainment this The local snakes who crossed the river with a little bit of color shrank their heads into their shells one after another, acquiescing to the status of Cy Entertainment.
As the actual manager of Cy Entertainment, Liu Jianjun contributed a lot to achieving such rapid results in the extremely xenophobic South Korea. In addition to the two acquisitions,
He never asked Yang Cheng for an extra penny. This is what satisfied Yang Cheng the most. No boss likes a subordinate who asks for money at will. .
The current cy group is like a fruit tree that Yang Cheng planted in South Korea. As soon as it blossomed and bears fruit, someone jumped out to pick the peaches. No wonder Grandpa seemed to be hesitating in his speech. Does this seem to be something a friend did?
"Grandpa, do you owe that Lin Furong a favor?" Yang Cheng couldn't help wondering, only this reason made sense, why did Grandpa know how excessive the request of the predecessors to plant trees and the descendants to enjoy the shade, so he resolutely opened his mouth , and even flew from Xiangjiang to New York in person without hesitation.
"Cy Entertainment? No, no, that's not what I'm talking about, it's your territory in Korea." Liu Muqian also realized the misunderstanding.
"Land? How did Lin Furong know? He investigated me?" Yang Cheng's face was a little ugly. Only a limited number of people knew about his land in South Korea. Who would like to be investigated by others, and his own body was exposed under the eyes of outsiders. It's not a good feeling.
"When Lin Furong was discussing cooperation in South Korea, he was very interested in several pieces of land in your hands after learning about this matter. He has a lot of capital transactions with the bank I hold, and he has a good relationship. Moreover, the price he offered was more sincere, so I gave it to you. He was a lobbyist." Liu Muqian finally told the ins and outs, while Yang Cheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief, his heart became entangled again.
What he values is long-term interests. The profit of selling a ton of oranges and squeezing a ton of oranges into orange juice is absolutely different. The same is true for land. much.
"Xiao Cheng, no matter how prosperous you are in the United States, you are still a Chinese, a descendant of Yan and Huang. You also shoulder the important task of the development of the Yang and Liu families. Over the years, I can help you a little bit.
Don't underestimate Lim Furong. From the son of an ordinary fishmonger, he has worked hard alone to a net worth of more than US$1 billion. He has a high reputation in Singapore and Malaysia. He also has a lot of contacts in Temasek. He must have his own uniqueness. You use this Let Lin Furong owe you a small favor for a few pieces of land, which is definitely worth more than the profit you may lose. "
How could Yang Cheng not feel Liu Muqian's good intentions? It was nothing more than taking advantage of the old man's strong body, and under his matchmaking, he maintained a good relationship with some influential Chinese or big families with deep background. These resources were used properly , will be a force that cannot be ignored.
The reason is simple and easy to understand, and Yang Cheng also understands it, but he is not reconciled no matter how much he thinks about letting him distribute the cake he has made.
In fact, Liu Muqian also expected Yang Cheng's reaction. After all, what made his grandson give up was not 120 million, but a profit of hundreds of millions of dollars.
Yang Cheng weighed left and right in his heart for a long time before he said, "Grandpa, you should stay here for a few more days this time, don't rush back, and give me some time to think about it carefully, it would be best if I could meet this Lin Furong On the one hand, I want to see with my own eyes whether this person is worth several hundred million in profits."
"Okay, it's good to be cautious. It just so happens that the team he bought is preparing for the new season in the United States. Their family should come with the team for vacation. I'll make an appointment with him so that we can get together." The mature grandson Thinking, comforted Liu Muqian, and asked in a consulting tone.
Yang Sen hurriedly took the words. He didn't dare to put on the prestige of the chairman of Yuanshan Capital in front of his father-in-law. He said with a flattering tone, "Dad, this matter is up to you. We will definitely attend on time when the time and place are set."
After talking about the business, the family finally remembered the plates of delicacies on Linxing's table. Liu Yun asked the servant to reheat the dishes, and happily enjoyed the long-lost reunion dinner.

At noon the next day, under the scorching sun, walking on the street felt as if you were in a natural sauna, and you felt suffocated when you were panting. Yang Cheng and Eddie took a car to Madison Garden to meet with New York Times major shareholder and CEO Arthur Schulzberg Jr. The restaurant Eleven Madison Park, which was agreed upon by the grid, got out of the car and did not dare to stop. He lowered his head and rushed into the restaurant, letting the air-conditioning of the restaurant hit his body to lower his body temperature.
"Damn it, it's too hot!" Yang Cheng ordered a glass of iced lemonade, drank it in 2 gulps, and cursed with a hiccup.
"Indeed, I knew we should make an appointment for dinner. People in hot weather are impatient, which is not conducive to talking about things." Eddie also took out a handkerchief from his pocket with a wry smile, took off his glasses and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
"It's all here, but there seems to be no one today?" Yang Cheng sat on the table arranged in the restaurant, looked around and muttered in wonder.
Eleven Madison Park (emp), which is also listed in the Michelin three-star restaurant list and the top ten restaurants in the world, is the most dazzling new star in New York's catering industry. In Yang Cheng's impression, it seems that EMP has never seen such a crowded scene. Isn't this For example, this scene can really become the main news of afternoon tea gossip among New York ladies.
Shaking his head, he didn't think much about it, mainly because the hotness in his bones made him not in the mood to think about it, as long as he didn't delay his meal.
After receiving the menu handed over by the waiter, oh, it is worth mentioning that you will not see a regular menu in this restaurant, the waiter will only give you a menu, which is filled with freshly purchased ingredients today, and customers can Cross out the ingredients you don't like, and the chef will cook different dishes according to the needs of each guest.
After crossing out a few commonly eaten ingredients with a pen, when I was about to hand them over to the waiter, there was a sound of gada gada footsteps behind me~
Little Arthur has arrived.
