Chapter 406 Double Reed Opera
In the evening, Yang Cheng and William arrived at the Dorchester Hotel next to Hyde Park by car respectively. Yang Cheng specially reserved the Alain Ducasse restaurant in the name of William. This Michelin three-star restaurant was created by the famous French chef Alain Ducasse. One of the many high-end restaurants under the group he founded. Although Alain Ducasse himself has already transferred his working place from the back kitchen to the office, his culinary philosophy is deeply imprinted in every restaurant, from taste to quality. the pickiest.
Of course, in order to be worthy of the best taste and the most stringent quality, Alain Ducasse’s restaurant also has a prohibitively high price. It is often included in the list of the most expensive restaurants in the world, and the per capita consumption can exceed 400 pounds Of course, it's not Yang Cheng's treat tonight, this power will be handed over to Zheng Jiaxuan, who asked him to ask someone to do something.
To be honest, when Yang Cheng entered the restaurant of Alain Ducasse, he was a little disappointed. The warmth is elegant, but the elegance is low-key luxury. The warm yellow ambient light renders the whole restaurant, matched with a lot of log colors The door panels of tables and chairs, and the white gauze curtain falling from the ceiling, always feel that they are not worthy of the price of 400 pounds per person, at least it is far from the decoration style of the brother restaurant "Louis XV".
But the main purpose of tonight is not to eat, but to talk about things. Over the years, the West has also learned the "excellent tradition" that Z people like to talk about things at the dinner table. Many important projects are finalized after a good meal.
Zheng Jiaxuan arrived at the restaurant early and waited at the reserved seat. Seeing the arrival of tonight's invited target, he got up and greeted William.
After the three of them were seated, the specially trained waiters served the three of them appetizers before the meal. They had to wait a while before the main meal was served. Taking advantage of this time, Yang Cheng and William played the oboe in a tacit understanding.
"Mr. Zheng, although Jason is there to help you, I'm afraid I can't help you with this." William refused with righteous words at this time, with a sense of righteousness all over his body.
Zheng Jiaxuan was unmoved, and asked calmly, "Why? This is harmless to His Royal Highness the Duke."
"First of all, I have never been an intermediary before; secondly, this kind of thing is not good for the reputation of our royal family; finally, even if Alex Beard has a good relationship with me in private, when it comes to interests, he will never My words are a step backward, not to mention that Glencore is not that simple." The last sentence seemed meaningful, but it was quickly covered up by William.
He paused, shrugged his shoulders, and looked very sorry, "So I can't help you with this matter."
At this time, Yang Cheng jumped out and sang red face, "William, Mr. Zheng is my very good elder brother. Is there really no room for maneuver? This project is very important to him."
There was sincerity in the tone, but not too much, Zheng Jiaxuan couldn't help but be fooled by the right handling, thinking that Yang Cheng was taking advantage of him and doing things for him with heart, and couldn't help showing gratitude.
William's acting skills exploded, and the embarrassment and helplessness on his face simply didn't fit the scene at this time, and he fell into deep hesitation, "Jason, you really gave me a big problem."
Yang Cheng smiled slightly, but taking advantage of Zheng Jiaxuan's inattention, she gave William a hard look, subconsciously saying, "You're almost done, let's pass the show again."
As a result, William stared back, and stepped on Yang Cheng's foot under the table again, meaning, "What's the rush, the fire is not here yet."
Well, the silent communication between the two can be regarded as a breakthrough of human imagination. It turns out that they can communicate briefly by relying on eyes and movements without using words.
Naturally, Zheng Jiaxuan didn't see the secret poking moves of the two people on the opposite side, and said proactively, "Your Excellency William, I heard that you have been committed to charity. This is the greatest work of mankind, and it deserves everyone's admiration. It just so happens that I am also very concerned about it." Things in the field of charity, but because there are no outlets to shine, how about I invest the funds in Princess Diana’s fund? It’s also my contribution.”
William suddenly regained his energy, this is giving him money, he smiled brightly and said, "That's really great,
As you said, those who are willing to devote themselves to charity are called great, and I believe God will take care of you. "
Zheng Jiaxuan smiled even wider, "I don't dare to do it, but I am willing to do something that will give back to the society and be beneficial to the society, but people's greed is never-ending, and when faced with charity, there are always some petty people who will spoil it." Thoughts, so my charity work has not started for a long time, but today I have the honor to meet His Excellency William, I believe that with His Excellency William's reputation and character, the money will not be wasted, right?"
William made a solemn promise, "Of course, I swear in the name of the royal family that every penny of the foundation has been spent where it should be spent."
Where should I use it? Isn't that what William said?
"2 million pounds. In view of our first cooperation, I will invest 2 million pounds first. If we cooperate happily, we may cooperate with Princess Diana Charity Foundation in our company's philanthropy in the future." Zheng Jiaxuan's happy performance made William overjoyed. Or the people of country Z are generous.
"On behalf of the vulnerable groups, I would like to express my gratitude and highest respect to Mr. Zheng. Believe me, I will make the best use of this money to help more people."
William spoke beautifully, took a sip of his drink, and said, "Mr. Zheng's spirit is invaluable. Since Mr. Zheng's business is in trouble, I can't sit idly by. I will try my best to communicate with Alex Beard. Try my best to fight for Mr. Zheng's acquisition opportunity, of course, I can't guarantee whether it will be successful, but I hope Mr. Zheng will understand."
This kind of shameless act of seeing a rabbit and not throwing an eagle really made Zheng Jiaxuan feel helpless, but he couldn't say anything, so he could only follow the words and said happily, "It's natural, nothing in this world is 100%, Your Excellency William is willing." Help, I can't thank you enough."
Yang Cheng shook his head cryptically, signaling to William not to mention conditions now, which would arouse Zheng Jiaxuan's suspicion.
"I will try my best, give me some time, Alex Beard's character is not generally strong." William followed Yang Cheng's instructions, did not mention any conditions, but repeatedly emphasized the difficulty of this matter, for later Open your mouth and ask for a high price to pave the way.
At this time, the waiter brought the pre-dinner snacks, and Yang Cheng said, "Let's eat first, and we can talk about other things after dinner."
When calling the waiter to serve the food, Yang Cheng took out his mobile phone and sent a text message to William, "I'll withdraw in a while, you find a way to find out why he bought Glencore's oil storage business!"
