Chapter 642: Membership
After knowing Chen Qiaoshan's new identity, there was a brief silence on the table.
If it is just an ordinary customer, Lu Dong and Norton may not have any other ideas, but a person who dares to invest huge amounts of money to bet on crude oil futures and can publish papers to disrupt the market will obviously be inconsistent with the two, which is inevitably suspicious.
Fortunately, the dinner did not last long, and everyone here was sensible, and the matter involved the privacy of the customer, and no one mentioned the questions in his heart. After the dinner, the few people did not leave immediately, but led by the waiter to a tea room upstairs.
It is said to be a tea room, but it is actually a cigar that combines Chinese and Western styles.
Chen Qiaoshan didn't know what arrangements were next. He didn't think this kind of place was suitable for negotiation on the contract details. He was about to ask, a middle-aged man about fifty years old pushed the door and walked in.
As soon as he entered the door, he greeted Norton and Lu Dong very well. The two sides obviously knew each other. After a few simple conversations, the attention of the visitor shifted to Chen Qiaoshan. Norton helped introduce: "Chen, this is Deng Sheng, he is the manager of this private club."
When Chen Qiaoshan heard that his surname was Deng, he kept his mind secretly.
This is the Deng family's industry itself, and the boss is a famous Hong Kong island. Although this person in front of him is not like the boss Deng who often appears in the social space, he has a different identity when he can take charge of the China Association.
Chen Qiaoshan nodded slightly, "Hello, Mr. Deng."
"Hello." The manager surnamed Deng looked up and down at Chen Qiaoshan, then took out a business card and said, "Mr. Chen, welcome to join the China Association. I and all the employees of the club will serve you wholeheartedly."
"What? Join the China Association?" Chen Qiaoshan was stunned. This incident was a bit abrupt.
Chen Qiaoshan naturally knew that the China Association is famous and is known as the leader of the four major clubs in Beijing. Although he has been curious about No. 51, Xidan Xirongxin Hutong, and has always wanted to get a glimpse of the truth, it only ends here.
Perhaps it was because of his experiences in his previous life that Chen Qiaoshan did not have any good impressions of such occasions, nor did he have the idea of using the circle. After all, he has been ordinary people for both lifetimes, and he really has no feelings for the so-called upper-class circles.
Norton said at this time: "Chen, you are the core customer of UBS. This is enough to match your identity. If you want, Lu and I will be your membership introducer."
Chen Qiaoshan suddenly realized that no wonder Lu Dong appeared at today's dinner. It turned out that there was this reason.
As for gifts, he is not surprised. These private banks in the West love to give customized gifts, which is also a small surprise.
Giving a cake on a customer's birthday is the most common method. Of course, it is not always possible to win the favor of customers. For example, in 2008, a famous private bank in Hong Kong, the customer finally got 7,000 yuan in financial management funds, plus a birthday cake that is known as the most expensive in history, which makes people cry.
Chen Qiaoshan's wealth can be listed on the Forbes domestic rich list. He is not surprised by the qualification to enter the China Association. Private clubs like this, with low-end comparisons to wealth and high-end connections. Since they have all reached this point, they don't have to worry about the qualification to enter this circle.
After glanced at the business card in his hand, Chen Qiaoshan became more sure that the middle-aged man named Deng Yongxian was indeed a member of the Deng family. He calmly put away the business card and asked again: "Mr. Deng, if I become a member, are I qualified to go to your club in Yanjing?"
"Of course." Deng Yongxian replied with a smile, "As long as Mr. Chen completes the registration procedures, the relevant information will be updated as soon as possible."
"How do you charge for membership?" After hesitating, Chen Qiaoshan finally asked the key question. He was very curious that China would hide in the Bank of China Building, where every inch of land was worth every inch, and occupied three floors at once. In Central, only multinational investment banks and old commercial families have such big money. Although the consumption here is not low, not everyone can consume such places. In order to maintain a transcendent position, privacy is certain. The Deng family cannot lose money and make a name for themselves.
The few people in the field were all stuck. Is this the point? Who doesn’t know that the rich people in Hong Kong want to come in. This is a very good person, a billionaire with a huge net worth, doesn’t care about the various friendship activities held here, but instead asks about the membership fee, which is simply an insult to capital.
Elliot couldn't stand it anymore. Among the few people tonight, he had the lowest presence, but his relationship with Chen Qiaoshan was the closest. He didn't want to see the most important customer in his hand make jokes, so he helped turn around and said, "Mr. Deng, Mr. Chen likes to joke the most, don't care."
Obviously, he was used to the storm. Deng Yongxian did not show any contempt on his face. As for what he thought in his heart, outsiders did not know.
The Chinese Association adopts a recommendation system. If you want to join the association, you need to jointly recommend it by more than two members to be qualified to join the association. Although Chen Qiaoshan’s background is not clear, it is certainly not easy to invite two heavyweight senior executives from UBS to come forward.
The China Association of Hong Kong has existed for many years, and Deng Yongxian has been taking care of it. He has been dealing with the top wealthy people in Hong Kong all day long. His vision is so sophisticated. There are members younger than Chen Qiaoshan, but they are all second-generation members. Deng Yongxian can see at a glance that Chen Qiaoshan is not like this. If UBS Asia Pacific vice president is willing to help the rich children open their eyes, it is still possible. Among these multinational investment banks, most of them are related households, but using personal relationships to introduce them to the association, this matter is difficult to think about.
Deng Yongxian said: "Mr. Chen, I will send you the detailed membership information immediately. If you have any questions, please ask me."
Seeing Deng Yongxian's expression of being unpredictable, Chen Qiaoshan lost interest. At this point, although he has not yet reached the point of view of money as nothing, he doesn't really see it for 100,000 and 200,000.
Soon, Deng Yongxian called his secretary and completed the relevant procedures for joining the club on the spot. The process was very simple. Chen Qiaoshan only left the contact information and the position information of the president of Qingshan Capital, and then obtained a membership card with a black background gilded membership card.
After completing these things, few people didn't stop. Chen Qiaoshan and Ed Norton made an appointment to negotiate the itinerary at UBS headquarters tomorrow, and exchanged a business card with Lu Dong, and then was sent back to the hotel by Elliot.
This time I stayed in Marriott in Pacific Place, but not on the private apartment on the top floor, but on the executive floor of the hotel.
When he arrived at the door, Chen Qiaoshan remembered that he had not taken the room card. He looked at the watch. It was already past ten o'clock at night. He was hesitating whether to knock on Tuo Xiaoxue's door or call the guest room manager. Before he could make up his mind, the door opposite was opened.
Tuo Xiaoxue appeared at the door wearing a set of pajamas. She looked at Chen Qiaoshan and asked, "What are you doing at the door?"
"I forgot to get the room card, so I can't get in." Chen Qiaoshan smiled helplessly.
Tuo Xiaoxue shook the room card in her hand and joked: "You didn't get it at all. I've always collected it?"
Chen Qiaoshan didn't care either. He took the room card and opened the door. He was about to go in. He remembered something, but he turned around and said, "Something is wrong, come to my room."
"What do you want to do?" Tuo Xiaoxue asked alertly like a frightened rabbit.
Looking back at her, Chen Qiaoshan said helplessly: "What are you thinking? You are here for a business trip. If you have something to tell me, you will go to do it tomorrow."
Tuo Xiaoxue hesitated, but finally said, "Then you wait first." She said, "Stop" and closed the door again.
Chen Qiaoshan shook his head and ignored him and went straight into the room. But after waiting for a long time, Tuo Xiaoxue didn't come in. Until he wanted to call and urge him, she pushed the door and walked in.
Chen Qiaoshan almost laughed angry when he saw it.
After a few steps, Tuo Xiaoxue actually changed her clothes and dressed neatly. Her vigilance made Chen Qiaoshan laugh and cry. He couldn't help but ask: "I said, in your eyes, I'm so unbearable, I deserve your guardianship?"
Tuo Xiaoxue was not afraid and said, "Who is right? Sun Guangming is having sex with a married young woman in Yanjing. You two are all the same as you are. Who knows what you think, it's always right to be careful."
Thinking of Fatty Sun's taste, Chen Qiaoshan was too lazy to bother to argue. He didn't talk nonsense and took out a stack of information from his suitcase and said, "You can take this material first, and one day tomorrow, sort it out first."
Seeing that it was a serious matter, Tuo Xiaoxue was not worried about anything else. She took the information and asked, "What is this?"
"The negotiation plan with Lynkart."
Tuo Xiaoxue suddenly realized that Lynk & Cott was using Kangsheng's channels to build advertising alliances. As Chen Qiaoshan's assistant, she also knew that Dai Zhikang had developed a set of his own system, but the cooperation between the two parties has not yet broken down. She probably had a clear idea in her heart. The so-called negotiation was probably just a showdown with Lynk & Cott.
"You check it tomorrow and tell me if you have any questions." Chen Qiaoshan waved his hand and said, "Okay, aren't you afraid that I will make a decision? Why don't you leave quickly?"
Surprisingly, Tuo Xiaoxue did not leave, but hesitated and said: "I have something to do with this."
"What, is it that something happened to Xu Xiaoyu?"
"How do you know?" Tuo Xiaoxue was very surprised. She hadn't said anything yet, how could Chen Qiaoshan know?
As the two were talking, Chen Qiaoshan's cell phone rang.
In the evening, Xiaowu sent several text messages, but Chen Qiaoshan didn't reply. Xiaowu could ignore it, but Yan Xiaoqin had to answer. Kangsheng Hong Kong Branch was really not worth much in Chen Qiaoshan's eyes. As for Xu Xiaoyu, he had no sense of existence. He was tired after running for a day. He didn't want to worry anymore, so he waved his hand and said, "Okay, that's all today, let's talk about other things tomorrow."
