Chapter 438 [Rite to others]
The reason why Su Le agreed to stay and talk to Shangguan Xiongba alone was not because of his favor, but because of his curiosity about this person.
What happened tonight seemed accidental, but if you think about it carefully, there seemed to be no such many coincidences in this world. Although Su Le was not a conspiracy theorist, he still felt that today's things were unusual. Perhaps there was an unknown necessity among these so-called accidents.
After Bentley car took Lan Ziyang away, Su Le also called Lao Mo and asked him to come to greet him. Su Le refused Shangguan Xiongba's invitation. He did not want to return to the Metropolis, a place that affected his mood, and that kind of occasion was not suitable for talking about things.
So the two stood in front of the Metropolitan gate. From their positions, they could see the flashing neon lights of the Metropolitan gate, the scene of cars coming and going in front of the Metropolitan gate, and the beautiful and charming welcome girl ushered in the night.
Shangguan Xiongba looked at Su Le with a smile and said, "You don't know me, but I have long admired you."
Su Le said: "Mr. Shangguan, I'm sorry for causing you trouble tonight." Although Su Le did not provoke this storm tonight, he could not shirk responsibility, which had an impact on the city's business to a certain extent.
Shangguan Xiongbadao: "I should say that the person I am sorry is me, but I actually caused you trouble."
Su Le was stunned. He thought that the reason Shangguan Xiongba said this was because he encountered trouble in his place. As the boss, he took the initiative to take responsibility. This seemed that this person was a bit responsible.
Shangguan Xiongba's next words surprised Su Le: "The main purpose of my visit to Shenhai this time is to see you!"
Su Le looked at Shangguan Xiongba strangely. In his impression, he had no connection with this person, and no record of this person was left in his father's diary, but he didn't know what was the relationship between them?
Shangguan Xiongba saw Su Le's confusion, but he did not explain his words immediately. He looked up at the dark sky and sighed: "I don't like the winter in Shenhai. It's wet and cold. I have arthritis. When this season comes, the joints are itchy and painful. You won't know this feeling. I wish I could cut off my hands and feet. Living is a pain for me."
Su Le said: "Living is always much happier than dying."
Shangguan Xiongbadao: "Every winter, I basically spend in Lingnan. This has been like this every ten years." He narrowed his eyes and looked at the flashing neon lights of the Metropolis, and whispered: "I am responsible for the capital of the Metropolis, but I rarely care about business matters."
Su Le said: "What's the matter with me?"
Shangguan Xiongba looked at Su Le and couldn't help laughing. From Su Le's words, we can know that he is a young man after all, and he is still very impatient. This can explain why he had a conflict with Liu Bingrong tonight. Shangguan Xiong was domineering: "Discuss business!"
Su Le said: "Discuss business?" He seemed a little surprised.
Shangguan Xiongba smiled and said, "I know it is not suitable for business negotiations now, but the purpose of my visit to Shenhai this time is to discuss business with you, about Guanghan Palace!"
When Su Le heard the three words "Guanghan Palace", he immediately understood that Shangguan Xiongba had obviously been in this industry, so it was normal for him to pay special attention to Guanghan Palace.
Su Le nodded and said, "Guanghan Palace is indeed my property! But..." He yawned lazily and said, "I have no plans to transfer it out at the moment. Besides, today is too late. Mr. Shangguan, you are right, it is not suitable for business now."
Shangguan Xiongba laughed: "Since Mr. Su thinks the time is not suitable, we can only talk about it another day."
Lao Mo drove a Volvo and stopped at about fifty meters away from them.
Su Le reached out to Shangguan Xiongba: "I'm very happy to know you!"
Shangguan Xiongba shook hands with Su Le and said meaningfully: "We will meet again soon."
Su Le got into the car, and Lao Mo did not ask him why he changed his mind and came back suddenly. He just looked at the captain's uniform on Su Le with some curiosity. In Lao Mo's opinion, this uniform should be prepared for the carnival dance, so he naturally would not think of many stories behind this uniform.
After the car drove for a distance, Lao Mo whispered: "If I admit it correctly, that person is Shangguan Xiongba!"
Su Le said: "Yes, the boss of the Metropolitan, Mober knows him?"
Of course, Lao Mo knew him, otherwise how could he call out his name at once? Lao Mo said: "He was once the southern helm leader of Orchid Sect. After the establishment of Qingluan Sect, he went to Guangdong and Guangxi to develop, and based in Huadu, he can be called the leader of the southern entertainment industry."
Su Le said: "Orchid Sect? Isn't it the same origin as Chu Tianyue?"
Lao Mo said: "Yes, he and Chu Tianyue can be said to be the two most powerful people in the Orchid Sect at that time. The winner is the king and the loser is the enemy. Chu Tianyue unified the three gates of the Divine Orchid, orchid and red handkerchief. Before the establishment of Qingluan Sect, Chu Tianyue's position in the Orchid Sect was not as good as Shangguan Xiongba. Regarding this merger, Shangguan Xiongba did not agree with him, so he led some people to establish his own business. However, he and Chu Tianyue were considered to be well-matched and separated. There was no bloody conflict between them. After he left, he held his sphere of influence in Guangdong and Guangxi, and Chu Tianyue had no intention of invading his territory. It was just that Chu Tianyue's ten-year prison sentence made the development of Qingluan Sect almost stagnant. Shangguan Xiongba's business in Guangdong and Guangxi has been booming in recent years. It was an entertainment city and a film and television company, and he was nicknamed the Emperor of Huadu in the world."
Su Ledao: "The Metropolitan is also his?"
Lao Mo said: "I don't know the specific ownership of the Metropolitan City. You can ask Pang Runliang about this. He knows everything about what happened on Shin Haidao."
Su Le looked at the time and it was already eleven o'clock in the evening. Most people were already resting in bed at this time, but Pang Runliang probably didn't. He and Zhang Zutang went to Sui to cook Lin Chaotong's funeral these two days. What's more, Su Le didn't have any good feelings for him, so what's wrong with disturbing him?
Pang Runliang did not sleep, but the call from Su Le in the middle of the night still surprised him, thinking something happened to Shen Hai. Hearing that Su Le was just asking about the Metropolitan area, Pang Runliang said: "Young Master, why did you suddenly ask about this?"
Su Le didn't hide it from him and said softly: "Shangguan Xiongba proposed to acquire Guanghan Palace, so I want to know more about this person."
Pang Runliang said: "Young Master, the Metropolitan City has been open in Shenhai for a while, but its business is still not as good as Guanghan Palace. That is, after Guanghan Palace closed down, the Metropolitan City's business suddenly improved. Shangguan Xiongba rarely appears in Shenhai. Although the Metropolitan City is his industry, he has always handed over the Metropolitan City to others to manage. His main power is distributed in Guangdong and Guangxi, and this person is known as the Emperor of Huadu."
This is the second person tonight who mentioned this title in Su Le's ear, and Su Le couldn't help but laugh: "This name is very exaggerated!"
Pang Runliang said: "It is not an exaggeration. It is said that half of the entertainment venues in Huadu are dominated by Shangguan Xiong. Moreover, in other cities in Guangdong and Guangxi, he owns no less than fifty high-end clubs, and even in Xiangjiang and Lisboa, he has his properties!"
Su Le said: "Since he is doing well there, why should he reach out to Shen Hai?"
Pang Runliang said: "Who in this world thinks that money is biting his hands? By the way, I heard that the lease in the Metropolitan area is about to expire, and the homeowner is unwilling to renew the lease. I think this is the real reason why he wants to cooperate with you."
Su Le knew that he and Shangguan Xiongba would definitely meet again, but he did not expect their meeting to come so quickly. The next morning, Shangguan Xiongba came to his office. Before Shangguan Xiongba walked into Su Le's office, Zhao Caimo specially called Su Le and told him that the person who wanted to acquire Guanghan Palace was Shangguan Xiongba.
After several months of closing, Guanghan Palace suddenly became a piece of fat again and became the target of the heroes' competition.
Shangguan Xiongba still looked like a mimi-smile. Although two followers accompanied him, Shangguan Xiongba did not let them follow him into Su Le's office. He came here to discuss business, not to demonstrate to others, and the more people, the better.
Su Le just finished the call with Zhao Caimo. When he saw Shangguan Xiongba coming to his office at this point in time, Su Le speculated that Zhao Caimo had an extremely accurate grasp of his itinerary, and it must have been communication between the two before.
Su Le stood up with a smile: "Mr. Shangguan, welcome!"
Shangguan Xiongba smiled and said, "I just said that we will meet soon. I hope Mr. Su doesn't mind me taking the liberty to come to the door!"
Su Le smiled and said, "The distinguished guest is here, and the bushes are shining brightly. I can't even be happy."
He invited Shangguan Xiongba to sit down.
After Shangguan Xiongba sat down, he first presented a scroll with his hands to Su Le: "A little gift, no respect!"
Su Le smiled and said, "Mr. Shangguan, you will not receive any reward without any merit. We just met. How could I have the nerve to accept your gift?" He said this with a pun, reminding Shangguan Xiongba that I may not agree to your request. At the same time, he told Shangguan Xiongba that our friendship is not worthy of this. Giving people must ask for something. Su Le had long understood this principle, so he would not believe that there would be free lunch in this world.
Shangguan Xiong was domineering: "Su Young Master Su first check whether the gift is in line with his wishes, and then decide whether to accept it or not!"
