#407 - Each with their own thoughts
Lu Haifeng and Zhao Jianhua didn't wait long in the restaurant before they saw Huang Ming leading Hilton Farth and a translation assistant in!
The first impression Lu Haifeng had of Hilton Farth was that the little old man was very refined!
Although he was a bit old, his suit was very elegant, and his gray hair was meticulously styled into a slicked-back look.
Moreover, Lu Haifeng sensed a kind of pride from this little old man, a pride that seemed to be ingrained in his bones!
Hilton Farth, meeting Lu Haifeng for the first time, also felt that the young man in front of him was mysterious, confident, and calm!
Although he looked young, Hilton Farth felt a sense of pressure from Lu Haifeng.
This surprised him, so he didn't dare to underestimate the smiling young man in front of him!
"It's a great honor for us to have Mr. Hilton Farth attend our Audi R8 new car delivery ceremony!"
As soon as they met, Lu Haifeng smiled and shook hands with the old man!
Hilton Farth, like a gentleman, wore a confident and reserved smile on his face and said, "I came uninvited, I hope Mr. Lu won't mind!"
"I have long wanted to meet the young CEO who single-handedly built Audi into a luxury brand!"
"So I took this opportunity to come directly, shamelessly!"
"Today, meeting Mr. Lu, in my old man's life, having seen so many young people, there is no one who can compare with you!"
Hilton Farth wasn't lying when he said this!
In his long life, among the many young people he had met, there really wasn't one who could compare with Lu Haifeng!
After all, anyone who has learned about Lu Haifeng's entrepreneurial journey in detail would be amazed by his abilities.
Building two large groups in four or five years is not something that ordinary people can do.
Lu Haifeng smiled upon hearing Hilton Farth's words and said, "You flatter me, old sir, please take a seat!"
Lu Haifeng neither agreed nor disagreed with the little old man's praise.
After both parties were seated, Lu Haifeng asked the chef to start serving the dishes. During the serving process,
Lu Haifeng and Hilton Farth chatted about interesting things as if they were old friends who hadn't seen each other for many years.
They mainly talked about interesting things and cultural differences between the two countries.
This was Hilton Farth's first time in Daxia, and he was very curious about this country he had never been to before.
Lu Haifeng explained some of Daxia's history and culture to him.
Hilton Farth explained some of England's history and culture to Lu Haifeng.
Now, the two of them didn't look like the CEOs of two companies, but more like two scholars exchanging their respective countries' history and culture.
While eating and chatting, Lu Haifeng was a little surprised when he learned that this little old man, Hilton Farth, was actually a hereditary nobleman of England.
England's peerage system underwent a major change many years ago, leading to the abolition of most hereditary peerages and their replacement with lifetime hereditary systems.
That is to say, the hereditary system was abolished, and it was changed to a lifetime system for the inheritor of a certain generation. After the death of this inheritor, the family could no longer inherit the peerage.
The fact that Hilton Farth's family was still able to continue using the hereditary peerage system showed how influential his family was in England.
"I didn't expect Mr. Hilton Farth to be a descendant of a great family, able to retain the hereditary peerage amidst the changes!"
"Presumably, your family's influence in England is not to be underestimated!"
Lu Haifeng raised his glass and said to Hilton Farth.
Hilton Farth wasn't used to the taste of Moutai at first, but after drinking a glass, the old man praised the wine for its excellent taste.
It was a completely different taste from whisky and XO!
"Sometimes, what seems like a glorious surface hides an irresistible decline, which is what describes my family!"
Hilton Farth looked slightly helpless when he talked about his family.
Lu Haifeng sneered inwardly, comforting him without showing any emotion, "Old sir, there's no need to be sad!"
"I believe that in your hands, your family will definitely be able to restore its former prosperity!"
"Then I'll take Mr. Lu's kind words!"
Lu Haifeng and Hilton Farth both had ulterior motives, but the two of them chatted like good friends for many years, talking about everything under the sun, and neither of them brought up the main topic.
Lu Haifeng wasn't in a hurry at all. He just wanted to see how long this little old man could hold out.
He could tell that this little old man was waiting for him to speak first.
However, Lu Haifeng wouldn't pay attention to him, because now it wasn't him who should be anxious, but Hilton Farth.
At this time, whoever spoke first would lose.
What about Hilton Farth?
Although he was very anxious, someone had told him before he came to Daxia.
When discussing matters in Daxia, you have to see who loses their composure and speaks first, and the party that speaks first will be at a disadvantage in the subsequent negotiations.
So Hilton Farth was holding on, waiting for Lu Haifeng to curiously ask him.
However, to his disappointment, Lu Haifeng didn't intend to ask him anything even after the meal was over.
This made Hilton Farth slightly disappointed. Lu Haifeng didn't take the bait, and he had no choice.
If he didn't speak up again, he might not have another chance.
So, in Lu Haifeng's office, Hilton Farth, drinking the tea brewed by Lu Haifeng, smiled wryly and took the lead in speaking!
"Mr. Lu's composure is truly admirable. Don't you want to know what I'm here for?"
Upon hearing Hilton Farth's words, Lu Haifeng picked up his teacup, took a sip, and said indifferently, "I don't want to know!"
If Hilton Farth didn't say it, Lu Haifeng wouldn't be interested in why this little old man came to him!
What he didn't expect was that this little old man, Hilton Farth, couldn't hold back!
Hilton Farth was choked by Lu Haifeng's indifferent "I don't want to know," and didn't know how to respond for a while.
He was frantically complaining about Lu Haifeng in his heart!
I'm such an old man, can't you give me some face and pick up the conversation!
That way, I can logically discuss important matters with you.
Lu Haifeng's indifferent "I don't want to know" really blocked all his follow-up words.
However, the old rogue from England is indeed an old rogue, that is, he has a thick skin!
Immediately, Hilton Farth pretended not to have heard Lu Haifeng's words and started talking to himself!
"That's right, Mr. Lu, I'm here to ask if you're interested in investing in our Farth Automobile!"
Huh?
Hearing his words, Lu Haifeng was stunned, then looked at Hilton Farth with a suspicious look, not understanding what he meant!
Invest in Farth!
Would Farth agree to his investment?
Are you kidding me!
