Chapter: 4573
He quickly grabbed his phone and discovered that it was Gao Zhiqiu calling. He immediately answered, saying: "Gao General, hello! It's so early to be calling, what's on your mind?"
Gao Zhiqiu said on the other end of the line: "Liu General, my assistant will arrive at Hong Kong Island in an hour. If it's convenient for you, please make sure to meet him at the airport."
Liu Jiahui felt unhappy when Gao Zhiqiu asked him to go to the airport to receive her assistant.
In his opinion, once Gao Zhiqiu's assistant arrived, he could personally invite him to a hotel and that would be just fine. But asking him to go to the airport was a bit too much?
Just then, Gao Zhiqiu added: "Oh, Liu General, I forgot to tell you earlier. This assistant of mine is actually two major shareholders from Isso Shipping - Miss Ito and Miss So, personally appointed by them. He has more authority than me in many matters, so if Liu General wants to promote cooperation between us, please make sure to do a good job of receiving him."
Liu Jiahui's attitude underwent a 180-degree transformation upon hearing this. He exclaimed: "Gao General, don't worry! I'll personally go to the airport to receive your assistant. Since he's coming to Hong Kong for the first time, he might not be familiar with the place. Let him stay at my place instead!"
Gao Zhiqiu didn't expect Liu Jiahui to invite her assistant to stay at his home.
However, Gao Zhiqiu didn't know what Leafy had come to see Liu Jiahui for, so she couldn't make any rash decisions. Therefore, she said: "Just let Liu General meet him in person and talk to him about it afterwards, depending on his intentions."
"Oh, okay!" Liu Jiahui said with a smile. "Please don't worry, I'll definitely make sure he feels the warmth of Hong Kong!"
Gao Zhiqiu said, "Okay, my assistant's name is Leafy, and his character is represented by the leaf of the plant and the sign of the stars. You can hold up a sign with his name at the airport entrance when you get there."
"No problem!" Liu Jiahui didn't hesitate, saying immediately, "So I'll leave right now!"
After that, he hung up the phone and told Zhang Jiaxin, "Tell the maid to hurry and tidy up the largest guest room on the second floor. We need to receive a very important guest first!"
Zhang Jiaxin looked puzzled and asked, "Liu Jiahui, what's so special about this guest that you have to personally pick him up and arrange for him to stay at home?"
Liu Jiahui said, "He is from Isuzu Shipping, and it's said that he's a person chosen by the two major shareholders of Isuzu. The Isuzu family and the Yanjing Su family behind them are both extremely powerful families in East Asia. It all depends on whether we can cooperate with this group."
Zhang Jiaxin looked confused: "Don't our own businesses develop well? We shouldn't be so eager to collaborate with others?"
Liu Jiahui waved his hand dismissively: "You don't understand, since Isuzu Shipping was established, the entire Asian shipping market has undergone a major transformation. Isuzu not only integrated all the resources of the Ito and Yanjing Su families in shipping, but also closely cooperated with the famous Wanlong Temple. Now, most of the global armed escort business is controlled by Wanlong Temple, and Wanlong Temple's escort resources are prioritized for Isuzu."
As he spoke, Liu Jiahui added: "The Ito family is Japan's first family, and the Su family is equally renowned as China's first family. Since the Ye family was taken over by Wanlong Temple, the Su family in China has become even more dominant. These two families, no matter which one they cooperate with, can achieve higher levels. Moreover, they have a relationship with Wanlong Temple, which means that if we can maintain good relations with them, we can earn more money and accomplish things we couldn't do before."
Zhang Jiaxin was still puzzled: "Isn't Wanlong Temple just a mercenary group? In theory, mercenaries are those who sell their lives for pay. In theory, they should be flattering us, not the other way around!"
"Don't know, no fear! Wanlong Temple is not just any mercenary group, it's one of the strongest hireling forces in the world! They basically don't care about working with individuals, but are instead affiliated with some countries and their warlords. Isuzu Shipping was able to team up with Wanlong Temple because the Su family has a connection with them."
He smiled proudly: "I've already almost finished investigating Isuzu Shipping. Wanlong Temple's patriarch, Wan Poh-jiun's father, used to be a younger brother of Su Shou-da, who was personally raised by Su Shou-da. So, in essence, the Su family owes a debt of gratitude to the Wan family. After Wan Poh-jiun wraps up his business with the Ye family, he'll only cooperate with the Su family if it's beneficial for him. Otherwise, even with all the wealth the Su family has, they won't be able to move Wan Poh-jiun."
He urged Zhang Jiaxin: "Alright, go ahead and instruct the servants to tidy up the guest room and prepare a feast, then hurry up and get dressed to meet me at the airport! Oh, and call Manqiong back, saying I have an important matter to discuss with her."
Zhang Jiaxin looked uncomfortable: "Why are you calling Manqiong back now? Won't she be annoyed if she's called away from serving our guests? What if she's slow or even hostile towards us? That would ruin your plans!"
He chuckled: "I'm calling Manqiong back because of her personality! She's beautiful, and any man who sees her will at least lose half their vital energy. With her by my side, that Ye family young master might just come crawling to me! And she's always haughty and disdainful towards men, so it's unlikely anyone can deceive her or take advantage of her. She's like a carrot dangling in front of a mule - visible but out of reach, making her all the more attractive!"
Zhang Jiaxin muttered: "Your daughter doesn't even listen to you, let alone me. Why don't you just call her yourself instead..."
He frowned at Zhang Jiaxin's tone, hesitated for a moment, then shrugged and said: "Alright, I'll talk to her on the way! You go take care of other matters!" JrNovels.com
