The person who was arranged to accompany Zhou Hao was Huang Yuanyuan, the manager of the personnel department of the Poly Group, a man in his forties with an unattractive appearance.
He always smiles and never gets angry with everyone, and because he is a bit blessed, he looks like a Maitreya Buddha when he smiles.
Zhou Hao knew that Huang Yuanyuan's status in Poly Group was not too high, at least not as high as that of Kong Fuqiao. Because in a place with an extremely deep official background like the Poly Group, the personnel department is simply a puppet manipulated by the above masters at will.
It's okay to recruit ordinary employees at the bottom. If it's some more important positions, it's not Huang Yuanyuan's turn to decide. Basically, they are arranged according to the "list" sent down above.
The reason why he was sent to accompany Zhou Hao was actually to let him act as Zhou Hao's "accompaniment".
Originally, the job of "accompanying tours" should be in charge of young and beautiful women.
But Kong Fuqiao vaguely guessed the relationship between Zhou Hao and Zhao Yuqin, and thought that if Zhao Yuqin knew that he had arranged for a woman to keep Zhou Hao company, would he still hang out in the future?
Following those two elites who were obviously from the army, Zhou Hao and Huang Yuanyuan came to a three-story European-style villa in downtown Xiamen.
This villa is not a modern luxury villa like Country Garden, but an old house with a age of 50 or 60 years. It obviously existed here before the Anti-Japanese War. It is simple and chic, and one of the outer walls is covered with vines.
On the door plate next to the gate outside the villa, the words "Shengde Mansion" are written in correct italics.
Those who can own this kind of mansion are not ordinary people, which made Zhou Hao even more curious about that mysterious person.
Entering the mansion, Zhou Hao saw that the layout of the house was indeed the style of fifty or sixty years ago, and there was actually a phonograph on the oak coffee table over there.
And there are quite a few servants here, about eight or nine people, all men and women in their 30s and 40s, who should have worked here for more than ten years.
After Zhou Hao and Huang Yuanyuan sat down in the living room, a man in his fifties who looked like a housekeeper brought them two cups of fragrant hot tea.
Huang Yuanyuan exclaimed after taking a sip: "It's authentic British Twinings black tea!"
Zhou Hao also took a sip. However, although the iced tea series produced by Tianhe Beverage Group has become popular all over the country, even Hong Kong and Taiwan, and is marching into Japan and South Korea, Zhou Hao himself does not have a deep understanding of tea culture.
He doesn't know the real situation of British black tea now, but he knows that as early as the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, when the British were flocking to Chinese black tea.
In fact, most of the teas that are transported across the ocean from China to the UK and sold at high prices are actually low-quality broken leaf teas.
Listening to Huang Yuanyuan chatting about the uniqueness of British Twinings black tea with great interest
The servant brought many exquisite models, including both Chinese and Western styles, and the level of ingenuity made Zhou Hao dumbfounded.
For example, the cage of dim sum that resembled crystal dumplings was carved into the shape of a small sparrow, and even the feathers on the wings that were only the size of rice grains were so lifelike that people couldn't bear to put them in their mouths.
Zhou Hao thought to himself: The chefs here can be called national champions, so they must be those "royal chefs" from Zhongnanhai.
Huang Yuanyuan also stared dumbfounded at the assortment of dim sum in front of him, then pointed to the plate of mille-feuille pastry and said, "This is 'Golden Mille-feuille Cake', although its appearance is similar to ordinary mille-feuille pastry.
However, this 'Golden Mille-Feuille Cake' can remain as crisp as it was just out of the oven after being stored for three days and three nights. I ate it once at a banquet in Diaoyutai. "
Zhou Hao was even more surprised, wondering who this mysterious person is, the cook in the Shengde Mansion is clearly the "Imperial Chef", he must be a member of the Standing Committee, right?
The servants in the hall were also very considerate. After preparing the food for Zhou Hao and the others, they went out with the housekeeper, so as not to make Zhou Hao and Huang Yuanyuan feel uncomfortable.
Then he would come in every once in a while, add tea for Zhou Hao and the others or take away the empty plates, and provide Zhou Hao and the others with everything they needed.
"Manager Huang, is it the adult who wants to see me? Do you know?"
Although he kept deliberating about which important person invited him to meet him, Zhou Hao couldn't help but taste these exquisite dim sum made by the "Royal Chef". Wiped out cleanly.
Huang Yuanyuan drank the black tea, let out a sigh of satisfaction, and said, "Mr. Zhou, I won't hide it from you, but in fact, I don't know anything about the identity of this powerful man.
Assistant Kong told me not to ask or inquire, just take care of Mr. Zhou, so I don't dare to meddle in my own business. "
Since even Huang Yuanyuan didn't know who the other party was, Zhou Hao had no choice but to stop guessing and wait for that person to come back.
However, I don't know what important things that person is busy with. Zhou Hao and the others have been staying here for two or three hours, but they still haven't seen him come back.
Fortunately, Shengde Mansion has everything here. After Zhou Hao and Huang Yuanyuan took a comfortable hot bath, there were actually two massage therapists who were over 60 years old but with excellent skills to help them massage.
Finally, you can go to a small movie screening room on the second floor to watch movies, but the collections in the Shengde Mansion are all those classic revolutionary movies such as the Anti-Japanese War and the Long March, or "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", "Water Margin" and so on. TV series.
Zhou Hao even saw "Daming Palace Ci" and "Daming Palace Ci" produced by his Galaxy Satellite TV.
Kangxi Dynasty" are two large-scale costume dramas that are very popular in China.
"Really, I have
With a net worth of tens of billions, he can't compare to this guy in terms of enjoyment. No, I will also build a 'Zhou Mansion' after I go back. "Enjoying the facilities and services in the Shengde mansion, Zhou Hao thought in his heart.
At this time, the mobile phone rang, and Zhou Hao saw that the number belonged to Lei Hu, so he answered, "Hello, Lei Hu? What do you want from me?"
"Boss, are you in Xiamen now?" Lei Hu said on the phone.
"Yeah, I just came here today, what's the matter, did something happen to 'Pluto'? Or something happened to Cousin Qing and the others?"
Zhou Hao asked a little nervously, now he was a little afraid of receiving a call from Lei Hu, because usually, what Lei Hu brought was not good news.
Lei Hu said with a smile: "No, boss, the operation of 'Pluto' is normal, and the ladies are also very safe.
It's because Daniu and I are here in Xiamen, and I just got the news from Ms. Zhao that you have come to Xiamen, so I will ask you. "
"You and Daniu are in Xiamen? Aren't you in Xiangcheng?" After the Hengda Real Estate incident, Lei Hu and the "Pluto" members who were dispatched temporarily returned to Xiangcheng. up.
"Boss, when we went back, you were the one who told me not to call and bother you if there was nothing particularly important." Lei Hu said aggrievedly.
That's because Zhou Hao didn't want anyone to disturb his and Zhao Yuqin's two-person world, so he ordered Lei Hu to do so.
I heard Lei Hu say again: "Two days ago, I received news that there was an underground martial arts conference to be held here in Fujian, not only our domestic martial arts masters, but also martial arts masters from all over the world will gather to participate in this martial arts conference.
I was curious for a while, so I came to see and see.
You know Daniel's character, the boss. After he knew there was a martial arts conference here, he pestered me to come. I saw that it was nothing serious, so I didn't tell the boss. "
"Martial Arts Conference? Why didn't I know? After all, I'm also a master." Zhou Hao said in surprise.
Lei Hu said: "Boss, how can a master like you care about these things? If a super master like you ends up, then no one else needs to participate, just abstain and go home."
Zhou Hao scolded with a smile: "This bullshit underground martial arts conference is basically an underground black boxing."
"Hehe, the boss is wise, you are right, this is indeed an underground black boxing."
Lei Hu said: "I have inquired about it. This so-called Martial Arts Conference is actually called the 'Pluto Cup World Combat Sports Conference'. It is held every two years. It is also held in rotation in different countries like the Olympic Games. This year is the thirteenth session. , it just happened to be our turn to hold in China.
It turns out that this "Pluto Cup World Fighting Sports Conference" is divided among mercenaries, mafia, and terrorists.
These subterranean worlds are very famous.
Almost every underground organization with powerful forces will send representatives to participate in the competition, and even the governments of some countries will secretly send masters to participate in the competition. "
After listening to Lei Hu's introduction, Zhou Hao knew that there was such a large and mysterious underground boxing match.
Lei Hu continued: "The prize money of this underground boxing match is very generous, the player who wins the championship in the final round can get a huge bonus of 100 million US dollars, and the runner-up and third place can also get 10 million and 1 million US dollars in bonuses respectively.
However, compared to the peripheral gambling behind this underground boxing match, the money is just a drop in the bucket. By the way, each contestant must pay one hundred thousand dollars to sign up. "
Zhou Hao knew that the gambling in these underground boxing matches often involved unimaginable money. Those drug lords, mafia leaders, or terrorist organizations all had their own ways of making money, and their net worth even surpassed those rich people on Forbes.
Hearing what Lei Hu said, Zhou Hao couldn't laugh or cry and said, "You must have signed up."
"Hey, how can I dare to compete with those strong people with my strength." Lei Hu said: "However, Da Niu has signed up."
