Chapter 249 Keep Shaya a secret
Around 7:30 p.m.
Chen Yi arrived at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel half an hour earlier.
Accompanying her was Yu Min. As the secretary of Boss Chen, she rarely left Boss Chen's side unless she was off work.
You said it's half past seven, why haven't you got off work yet?
Are you kidding me, have you never heard of 996?
Although Xiangjiang learned from Western society, as a city with rapid economic development, overtime work is the main theme of this city, and it is also the daily life of ordinary people.
"Sheng Chen, welcome." The hotel manager saw that Boss Chen was coming, so he hurried over to receive him.
"Is Mr. Sha Ya here?" Chen Yi asked casually.
The hotel manager obviously got the news in advance, so he said: "Mr. Sha Ya hasn't arrived yet, and Manager Shen has already reserved a seat in our hotel at noon. Do you need me to take Chen Sheng there now?"
"Lead the way!" Chen Yi didn't say anything, he was growling with hunger, and he came here early just to eat something.
As a five-star hotel, Mandarin Oriental Hotel not only provides the staple food of Western food, but also provides Chinese food that suits the tastes of Xiangjiang people.
No way, the location of the Mandarin Oriental Hotel is so good. Everyone is in the Central area, and the distance is very close. There is no Meituan and Ele.me these days. If you want to order something, it is not convenient if you are far away.
So, when there is nothing to do, Chen Yi is too lazy to travel too far, so he will spend money at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel.
As for why he must go to the Mandarin Oriental Hotel, the reason is very simple, it is clean and no one disturbs him, and the most important point is that he has a different style now, so naturally he will not just go to small roadside restaurants.
Although he doesn't think the food in a big hotel is better than a small restaurant, there is no way. If he goes to a small roadside restaurant, it will easily attract crowds, especially those paparazzi who are not afraid of death. For news reports, even if there are a lot of bodyguards around him. useless.
He also understands a little now why people with higher status and status tend to act in a low-key way. It's not that they don't want to be high-profile, but that their every move is watched by many people. High-profile will only bring a lot of inconvenience and trouble, so they just They can be low-key, so low-key that the public can't see their private life.
Chen Yi didn't care whether Sha Ya came or not, picked up the menu and ordered a table of his favorite dishes on weekdays.
Of course, there are also side dishes that Yu Min loves to eat. As his private woman, Chen Yi will naturally not treat Yu Min badly.
As soon as Chen Yi ordered the dishes, Sha Ya received a call from the hotel on the other side. Hearing that Chen Yi had arrived at the hotel early, Sha Ya was a little surprised. He knew that Chen Yi was not a person who likes to wait for others. It was he who invited the other party again. It stands to reason that it would be good if the guy was not late.
Before she had time to think about it, Sha Ya called her driver.
I have to say that the area in Central is really small.
Chen Yi's food hasn't been served for long, and just as he was about to start eating, the Shaya people had already arrived at the hotel.
After greeting Sha Ya, Chen Yi saw him staring at the dishes on the table, so he explained: "I'm really sorry, I was too busy at noon and forgot to eat, and I'm a little hungry tonight."
"It's okay, I can understand." Sha Ya made a pun, Chen Yi made such a big move today, not to mention forgetting to eat a meal, even if he doesn't eat for a day, he can understand it.
"Give me a steak!" Sha Ya waved to the waiter at the side and ordered a steak.
As for the Chinese food on the table, Sha Ya looked at the chopsticks in Chen Yi's hands and felt that it was a bit difficult to operate. It would be inappropriate to use a spoon in this situation.
Just like that, while chatting with Sha Ya, Chen Yi never forgot to take care of his stomach. As the saying goes, everything tastes good when you are in a good mood.
After a meal, Chen Yi was a little full.
…
After drinking and eating, Chen Yi didn't have time to chat with Sha Ya, so he opened the skylight and said, "Mr. Sha Ya, you invited me here today, is it because of today's business?"
Sha Ya nodded and said: "That's right, I want to know what Chen Sheng is trying to do by buying so many shares of HSBC Bank today?"
"I also heard a piece of news, Mr. Chen, you took out a huge loan from several banks last week."
After Sha Ya finished speaking, Chen Yi said: "Let me answer Mr. Sha Ya's first question first. My purpose of holding HSBC shares this time is to seek HSBC's support."
"Support?" Sha Ya was a little surprised by this answer. Seeing that Chen Yi didn't seem to be lying, she finally asked seriously: "Does Chen Sheng want to enter the financial industry next step? I heard that Chen Sheng not only supported HSBC this time." shares."
Chen Yi shook his head and said: "I have no intention of entering the financial industry. This time I increased the shares of several banks just to be able to smoothly acquire two listed companies."
Although he really wanted to enter the financial industry, Chen Yi knew what Sha Ya was worried about. Once he spoke his mind, his relationship with HSBC would change.
So, from the current point of view, he must calm down to his own thoughts and stay away from the financial industry that makes HSBC sensitive.
"Hold?" Sha Ya looked at Boss Chen in surprise again. He didn't expect the other party to do this to acquire two listed companies, and asked curiously at the right time: "I don't know which two listed companies Chen Sheng wants to acquire?"
Chen Yi: "I'll tell you, Mr. Sha Ya needs to keep it secret for me."
"It seems that the company that Chen Sheng fell in love with this time is not easy!" Sha Ya's inner curiosity increased a bit again. Now that Chen Yi is a major shareholder of HSBC Bank, under such circumstances, the other party is still afraid that she will not support him.
It can be seen that the company that the other party is interested in must be extraordinary.
Seeing Chen Yi smiling and looking at him without opening his mouth, Sha Ya knew that if he didn't keep the secret from the other party, he might not be able to get the answer from the other party's mouth.
After thinking for a while, Sha Ya nodded and said, "No problem, no matter which two companies Chen Sheng you like, I will not say what happened today."
Received Sha Ya's guarantee, Chen Yi didn't hide any more, and slowly said: "Jardine's Wharf and Jinmen Construction."
"Jardine Matheson" Sha Ya was stunned on the spot, and looked at Boss Chen in disbelief, feeling a little restless for a while.
"To be honest, I have raised a total of 5 billion this time, and I am going to take down Wharf and Jinmen Construction under Jardine Matheson, and then formally enter the Hong Kong real estate industry."
"In order to prevent Jardine from counterattacking, I will increase the shares of HSBC and Hang Seng Bank, Bank of East Asia and Standard Chartered Bank."
