Monica signaled to the bodyguard beside her to ask the restaurant to serve the food quickly.
In a short time, all the dishes were served, a combination of Western and Chinese styles. The steaks lay quietly on the plates, but no one started to eat them.
Obviously, sumptuous dishes are not the theme of this banquet, because this is a Hongmen Banquet!
The dignified waiter opened the prepared red wine and was sobering up...
"Listen to Mr. Bao's self-introduction just now. It seems that Mr. Bao can speak English?" After sitting down for a long time, Royce talked to Bao Guowei for the first time.
Bao Guowei knew that he was deliberately trying to intimidate himself! Just like a shepherd cooking an eagle, he has to dry it out for a while.
"Yes, I can speak English."
"Haha, then I'm just being sentimental. I even brought a translator here today. Originally, I thought Mr. Bao was the kind of playboy who followed his father to eat and drink. It seems I'm blind."
Royce smiled and pointed at the foreigner standing behind him, his tone full of yin and yang.
"He is Chinese and his surname is Lin!"
Listening to Royce's provocative words, Li Yaohui felt depressed, but Bao Guowei was calm and composed.
Royce pointed at Li Yaohui, "Who is this?"
Bao Guowei said: "Li Yaohui, my brother."
Royce simply ignored him and said, "Let's talk about business today!"
The atmosphere became a little awkward.
Monica hurriedly reconciled, "Eat first!"
Each person was given a piece of tender and delicious steak. Bao Guowei naturally knew how to eat Western food, but Li Yaohui had never seen it before and didn't know how to do it.
Bao Guowei snapped his fingers, and the butler who was waiting in the main hall immediately came forward respectfully, "What are your orders?"
"Bring me two pairs of chopsticks."
"Haha, Mr. Bao can speak English, doesn't he know how to eat Western food?" Seeing this, Royce laughed proudly, as if he suddenly became taller than the Chinese. "How about I ask Translator Lin to teach you how to eat? That's just right. Since I can't translate, I'll teach you how to eat Western food!"
Bao Guowei calmly said, "I'm not used to eating Western food, so I used chopsticks. Royce, you don't mind, right?"
"Or do you British culture have the habit of using a knife and fork when eating Western food? Unlike us, in China, we pay attention to generosity. If you eat Chinese food with a knife and fork instead of chopsticks, no one will care about you."
Royce felt unhappy when he saw that Bao Guowei was not embarrassed, but seemed a little crazy.
"up to you!"
Let the red wine sober up and serve it to everyone.
"Mr. Bao, what do you think of this steak?" Royce picked up a piece of beef with a fork and put it into his mouth.
Bao Guowei said: "The food in the big hotel is naturally delicious."
"Then do you think this steak is better made from British cows or Chinese cows?"
Bao Guowei said: "Everyone has their own way of eating it. China's old yellow cattle are not suitable for making steak, but if it is made into stir-fried yellow beef, it will be a different kind of delicious!"
"Haha, Mr. Bao, you know how to eat it. I am the same as you. Steak is only suitable for British beef."
Royster paused for a moment and said slowly: "Just like this dock matter, look around the world, no matter where you go, there are British ports!"
"So Britain is the most suitable country for managing docks and engaging in commerce. Suitable things should be left to the right people. I remember this is the thought of your Chinese Taoists!"
Royce's tone was full of noble arrogance.
But Bao Guowei found it funny that he had secretly changed his concept and was full of loopholes.
"Haha, if you British people were the best at doing business in the world, then the independent revolution on the other side of the Atlantic would not have happened!" he said lightly.
"You!" Royce almost threw the goblet on Bao Guowei's face, but Monica intervened in time.
"Royce, everyone is my guest. Don't make a quarrel. It's a favor for me."
Seeing the goblet in Royce's hand slowly put down, Monica sat down. She glanced at Bao Guowei secretly and winked at him.
She said silently with her lips: "You can do it!"
Bao Guowei nodded calmly.
This is called a white face and a red face, one is in the light and the other is in the dark.
It can not only save face, but also prevent Royce from achieving his goal. At least it is feasible so far.
After the atmosphere calmed down a little, everyone agreed tacitly and stopped mentioning the dock.
After three rounds of drinking.
Royce looked around, feeling a little impatient and saw Bao Guowei looking a little tipsy.
He suddenly asked: "Mr. Bao, I heard that you captured Wusu Pier. You are really brave!"
Bao Guowei shook his head.
"I bought this wharf from Guowei. I bought this wharf just to make money. If you have any trading business, please introduce it to Guowei!"
Royce smiled and said: "I have a good deal here. I'm sure you'll make a profit without losing any money. I believe Miss Monica has already told you."
That smile was chilling, as if he wanted to eat Bao Guowei alive with his eyes.
Bao Guowei didn't take it seriously.
"Monica has told me a long time ago, but if it's a trade business, then it's okay. If you want me to rent someone's dock, then I won't agree."
"you!"
Royce obviously didn't expect this scene. Wu Sucheng was his first stop when he came to China. He always had a dismissive attitude, but he didn't expect that he would hit a snag at the beginning.
Seeing that the atmosphere was getting tense, Monica hurriedly tried to reconcile it: "I'm here to take charge of the International Zhengxing Hotel today. You two should be nicer."
Royce's expression softened a lot when he saw Monica defending herself.
"Mr. Bag, if the price is an issue, don't worry! The price is definitely not an issue!" Royce took off the watch on his wrist and threw it directly on the table.
"Bang!" There was a sound, and the metal quartz watch lay quietly on the table.
"This watch is from the Swiss Royal Watchmaking Institute. It has a history of more than a hundred years since it was made. The time scale is exactly the same. And this is just one of my most ordinary watches!"
Royce's voice couldn't stop being proud. Not to mention the value of this watch, even if it were placed with the British royal family, it would still be worth it!
Bao Guowei picked up the watch indifferently and looked at it hastily. He didn't know the value of famous watches, so he just pretended to look at it and threw it back.
"The watch is a good watch! But I don't care about it!"
These fluttering words were so harsh in Royce's ears. He said in his heart: "Fucking! I hate it when others disobey me!"
Courtesy first, then attack!
He slowly released his fisted hand under the table and made a gesture to the person behind him.
The bodyguard in black who followed Royce in rushed forward with a ferocious face and shouted at Bao Guowei: "What the hell! Don't be so shameless!"
"Snapped!"
The words were spoken in Chinese. After hearing this, Li Yaohui immediately jumped into action.
"What's wrong with being so shameless?!"
