507 【Threatening】

Sunset Avenue mansion in Los Angeles -

For Hun Sen, as an old man, he believes in Feng Shui very much, so he doesn’t like the words “Sunset Avenue”. He thinks these words are unlucky. It’s better to have the sun rise high. What’s the reason for setting?

But Americans, to be precise, many rich Americans like to live here, especially near Beverly Hills.

Hun Sen is a little confused. Are these ghost guys afraid of Feng Shui influence?

Finally, because his son John Hong ran for the city councilman in Los Angeles, and as a businessman, the Hong family had to move here too. There were many celebrities and they could meet them at will when they went out. It was considered to have done a lot of free publicity for their family's business.

Therefore, since he moved here to live, the business of the Hong family has become even more prosperous, and in the end, Mr. Hong couldn't understand whether the feng shui of the sunset was good or bad?

For Song Zhichao, he likes this place very much, especially the two rows of tall palm trees on the avenue, which look very arrogant, just like the faces of Hollywood stars.

Under the leadership of Hong Ying, Song Zhichao came to the Hong family’s “villa” located here - Hong Mansion.

Although this villa is called "Hong Mansion", the shape of the entire villa is typical of Western design, especially the living room of many Hollywood stars, so the design style is similar to that of the villas where many celebrities live, such as large gardens, large swimming pools, large balcony... In short, everything must be big.

Song Zhichao got out of the car and walked to the door. A maid in Tang suit helped open the door.

As Song Zhichao's bodyguards, Jin Jiu and Niu Xiong were very conscientious and wanted to follow him when he saw that Song Zhichao was about to go in.

But Song Zhichao asked them to wait outside, then looked at Hong Ying, and said intentionally or unintentionally: "This is not a dragon's den."

...

Go in-

In the huge garden, Mr. Hong was practicing Tai Chi, and he was very well-like. There was a bird cage hanging on a pine tree next to him, and a beautiful thrush was chirping inside.

Seeing Song Zhichao come in, Master Hong signaled, and the white-clothed servant who was guarding tea and towels next to him came forward and handed over the snow-white towel.

Mr. Hong wiped his hands and said to Song Zhichao: "Sit down."

Song Zhichao took a look and there was a stone-supporting Eight Immortals table next to it, and a round pier made of stone carvings.

Song Zhichao sat over.

The stone table is filled with wine, refreshments, and so on, which is very exquisite.

Master Hong wiped his hand, handed the towel around him, then sat down opposite Song Zhichao, took out white wine, poured two glasses and handed it to Song Zhichao and said, "It's quite difficult to invite you over. I've been waiting for more than half an hour." Then he looked sideways and looked at Hong Ying.

Hong Ying looked ashamed.

Song Zhichao picked up the wine glass: "Don't blame him, I deliberately wanted to grind him." He drank the wine all over.

Hun Sen smiled, "Aying has a bad temper. Last time he offended you, it's okay for you to temper him." He also picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one go.

As an old man, Mr. Hong only likes drinking alcohol and does not like tea.

Song Zhichao picked up the wine pot, helped Mr. Hong pour one glass first, and then poured himself one glass: "Xifeng wine?"

Mr. Hong nodded, "It's good to know how to taste wine."

"Master Hong, you invited me here this time not only to let me taste wine?" Song Zhichao put down the wine pot and asked with a smile.

Hun Sen: "I invite you to come because I want to help you." Looking at Song Zhichao, he looked like an elder caring about his younger generation.

"help me?"

"Yes, you know what's going on now - Sony is a large Japanese consortium. If they want to reduce the price of products, why do you fight with them?" Hun Sen said slowly, "Are you going to reduce the price as well? I heard that your VCD was originally planned to sell for $2,000, but why should it be reduced to $1,800?"

Song Zhichao didn't say anything, picked up the wine and tasted it.

Hun Sen stared at him, "Since you are doing business, you should know that the product is very evil, especially new products like you, which will reduce prices before they are launched. It is very unlucky - Besides, you can reduce prices, but it will be difficult to restore the original price at that time!"

Song Zhichao narrowed his eyes, smiled, and asked Hun Sen: "Then why are you going to help me?"

Hun Sen smiled: "Those Japanese guys are just playing promotions - what is promotion? They are to attract popularity. Who are we? Chinese! What are the most Chinese? Of course they are Chinese!"

"This is Los Angeles. Chinese in Los Angeles are very loyal and very group! As long as you say one thing, I can use the status of Hongmen and the chairman of the Chamber of Commerce to help you get more popularity - I want all Chinese in Los Angeles to support you. To be precise, when your product is on the shelves, all of them will be patronized by you, so that those Americans will know that your VCD is this!" Hun Sen gave a thumbs up and looked proud.

Song Zhichao smiled: "What are the conditions? I know Mr. Hong, you are loyal, but you won't just help me, right?"

"Hahaha!" Hun Sen smiled, "If you don't say you are smart, I like to talk to someone as smart as you."

"Let's do it. Last time, I was a little greedy and wanted to take all your agency rights in the United States. This time, I took a step back - there are about fifty states in the United States, and I only need to take half of them, and the rest are yours. How about it? Let's work together and I guarantee that your business in the United States will be smooth!"

In Hun Sen's opinion, Song Zhichao has no choice now. He has no foundation in the United States. If he wants to fight Sony hard, he will only lose badly in the end. He can only hold his own hands and save them.

At this moment, Hun Sen was tasting the wine, looking like I could eat you, staring at Song Zhichao with a smile, waiting for his reply.

Song Zhichao said: "Sorry, Mr. Hong, I can't accept your conditions."

Hun Sen: "..." He was a little surprised and smiled: "Young man, don't be embarrassed. Sometimes it doesn't matter if you are soft-hearted - do you really want to go against Sony and sell it at a lower price?"

"Who said I want to reduce the price?" Song Zhichao asked with a smile.

Hun Sen: "…"

"On the contrary, not only will I not lower the price, from today on, I will also raise the price of products that I have not listed on the shelves - from US$2,000 to US$3,000!" Song Zhichao looked unruly.

Hun Sen: "…"

I don't understand, is this kid crazy?

Not only does the product not reduce its price, but also raises the price - and it also raises the price to US$3,000?

Did you get madly angry by Sony, or do you want to make money?

However, Song Zhichao did not explain why he did this, but stood up and said politely to Hun Sen: "Master Hong, thank you for your kindness and for your drinks - but I don't like being threatened. If you really want to cooperate with me, we may be able to talk about it again after my product is put on the shelves - well, I have finished what I should say, goodbye!"

Hun Sen: "…"

Unexpectedly, Song Zhichao was so unique and left after he said that.

Hong Ying, who was standing aside, wanted to stop Song Zhichao, but was stopped by Hong Sen's gaze. Looking at Song Zhichao's back, Mr. Hong said, "Okay, I'll wait for you - if you can really pass this level, then you can say anything in the future! I, Hong Sen, are trustworthy!"
