Chapter 535 Rejected Again (400 Votes Plus Update)
Shi Lei was stunned again.
I have no intention of taking action. Do you want me to buy or sell by force? Heika, what are you doing? !
He said "Excuse me" and hung up the phone. Shi Lei was silent.
He thought that Heika gave him this task because Huo Chengdong was already interested in selling this porcelain vase. Of course, after all, it was worth millions and it was likely to be auctioned. But now, the other party told him that Huo Chengdong had never thought of collecting anything, which was strange.
Moreover, they had no intention of meeting him, which meant that there was no chance of lobbying. Even if Shi Lei had another Lotus Card, it would be useless. He couldn't use the Martial Arts Master Card to get all the way in front of Huo Chengdong and then fight again. Go and convince others? Or, why not buy it at all and just grab it back? Anyway, after the martial arts master is possessed by the card, he will definitely be able to snatch away the things within half an hour.
What the hell is Heika doing!
Shi Lei was feeling depressed when the doorbell rang. He walked over and saw Song Miaomiao standing outside the door.
After opening the door, Song Miaomiao said: "People from the other company have arrived at the hotel and have made an appointment with us to meet in the multi-function hall downstairs. Do you want to go with us?"
Shi Lei was getting annoyed and was about to refuse, but suddenly thought of another possibility.
It's true that he can't see Huo Chengdong now, but Song Miaomiao went on this business trip on behalf of Wei Xingyue's company. The time and place are so coincidental, one can't help but suspect that it is also related to the black card, or even directly related to this time. Task related.
Could it be that Huo Chengdong is the boss of the other company? Although the person who came to the hotel was unlikely to be Huo Chengdong himself, he was at least an employee of Huo Chengdong and must be a senior executive of the company. After Shi Lei got to know that person, it was very likely that he would be able to meet Huo Chengdong.
Thinking of this, Shi Lei said, "Okay, I'll go with you."
Song Miaomiao was a little surprised. She actually just wanted to ask before going out. After all, she was going to the multi-purpose hall to discuss business, so Shi Lei probably wouldn't be interested. But unexpectedly, Shi Lei actually agreed.
"Wei Xingyue is too important in your heart, right? You actually want to work as a supervisor for her about her company?" Song Miaomiao rolled her eyes, thinking that Shi Lei did this for Wei Xingyue, and couldn't help but feel jealous .
Shi Lei had a headache and said: "You are thinking too much. I don't understand your company's affairs. How can I supervise the work? But there is nothing to do anyway, so I just went to see you. In addition to talking about business, the other party must have other things." Arrangement, I just happened to take the opportunity to get to know Sydney."
"Really?" Song Miaomiao obviously didn't believe it.
Shi Lei shrugged his shoulders, pushed Song Miaomiao out of the door, and walked out himself: "Believe it or not. If you don't want me to go, I will go out for a walk by myself."
Song Miaomiao chuckled and said, "Then you might as well follow us, so that I can keep watching you."
Shi Lei rolled his eyes, followed Song Miaomiao into the elevator, and went downstairs to the multi-function hall.
After learning the other party's name and company name, Shi Lei began to search online, but found that this company had nothing to do with Huo Chengdong. This company is a multinational mining company, and Huo Chengdong's business is mainly in the service industry. It is impossible for a large multinational mining company like this to accept Huo Chengdong's investment.
It seemed that Shi Lei's guess was in the wrong direction, and Shi Lei couldn't help but feel disappointed.
But in this case, how can he get to know Huo Chengdong?
The negotiation with the other company went relatively smoothly. After the meeting, the other party was not as arrogant as in the video conference. The conditions were laid out one by one, and the two parties continued to struggle.
Seeing that noon was coming, the other party stopped the negotiation and said that they would go to have lunch first and then continue working in the afternoon.
This kind of negotiation cannot be resolved immediately within a few hours, so Song Miaomiao and his two colleagues happily attended the appointment.
They thought that the other party would treat them to a big meal, but they didn't expect that it was a buffet in the hotel. It seemed that they had no intention of helping Song Miaomiao and others pay for it. They bought two buffet coupons and went in on their own.
"You don't even invite a buffet? Is this company too arrogant?" Song Miaomiao complained depressedly, but she also understood that foreign corporate cultures are different from domestic ones. They may really not have the budget for this, and they cannot let the other company Let the people pay for the meal out of their own pockets.
After Shi Lei finished eating, he said: "I won't negotiate with you this afternoon. It's so boring and I can't understand you at all. I also have something to do and I have to go out in the afternoon. See you for dinner tonight."
After returning to the room and resting for a while, Shi Lei changed his clothes and went out.
After contacting Yao Er, Yao Er said that he would try his best to find a way to help Shi Lei and Huo Chengdong get online, but he was not completely sure. No matter how awesome Yao Keji is, it is impossible to know every rich man in the world, especially since the Yu family has no investment in Australia and does not have many acquaintances here.
Shi Lei knew that there was not much chance of getting Yao Er to help him contact Huo Chengdong, so he could only hope that Heika would have other arrangements.
There was no progress throughout the afternoon. Shi Lei called the other party again, but the other party still calmly rejected his request for a meeting.
The other party told Shi Lei: "Sir, if you have other matters, I can try to arrange an appointment for you, but if you want to buy Mr. Huo's collection from him, then there is really no need to meet. Yes. I'm sorry, please don't call me again. Mr. Huo is really busy and doesn't have enough time to see you."
Shi Lei had no choice but to return to the hotel.
During dinner time, Song Miaomiao sent him a WeChat message saying that she would continue to negotiate with the other party after dinner, so Shi Lei had to go and have dinner by himself. When I was bored, I bought a ticket for a performance at the Sydney Opera House in the evening. I finally came to Australia. When I was at a loss, I wanted to go see an opera performance.
Shi Lei knew that opera performances were a very formal event for Westerners, and everyone who went to see the performances would wear formal attire.
Of course he brought formal clothes. After all, he was going to meet Huo Chengdong. Even before coming, Shi Lei thought he might attend an auction or something like that, so he even prepared formal clothes.
After changing into formal clothes, Shi Lei went straight to the Sydney Opera House. After entering, he found his seat and sat down.
The opera performance started, and Shi Lei could hardly understand it at all. He just admired the foreigner's high-pitched singing voice, but no matter how high the tenor was, it seemed that it was not as high as the high notes in Peking Opera.
At the end of the show, Shi Lei decided to leave. Anyway, he just wanted to experience the exotic customs and there was no need to force himself to finish the show.
After going to the bathroom, Shi Lei met a middle-aged man in the bathroom. Because he also had a Chinese face, Shi Lei nodded slightly to him.
The man seemed a little surprised, but still smiled at Shi Lei.
After leaving the bathroom, the man saw that Shi Lei was not returning to the performance hall, but walking towards the door. He unexpectedly said: "Don't like tonight's performance?" He used English.
Shi Lei tried to say: "Chinese?"
The other party smiled and said in not particularly standard Mandarin: "A third-generation immigrant who can barely speak Chinese. I just asked you if you don't like tonight's performance?"
