Chapter 964 - Premiere (1/2)
Headquartered in Nagoya in the central part of Nippon, Central Power provided electricity to approximately 16.6 million people in five counties in the central region. It was the third largest power company in Nippon and was controlled by Sumitomo Foundation.
In fact, in addition to Central Power, Jiang Chen had a better choice-Yoto Power. However, due to the aftereffects of the nuclear accident, Yoto Power had yet to solve the problem of compensation and aftermath. Moreover, the company’s financial situation was far from ideal with a risk of bankruptcy. With these reasons combined, Jiang Chen finally decided on Central Power as his partner.
In a high-end business bar in s.h.i.+njuku, a black car stopped at the door.
Although most bars didn’t open at this time, this bar was special. Even early in the morning, it was open; it was just that it didn’t provide bartending services.
Jiang Chen stepped into the bar.
The two bodyguards escorted him on the left and right. Since he was handsome and combined with the fact that he wore an expensive suit and sleek sungla.s.ses, he had yet to step into the bar before he drew countless gazes.
The server rushed forward and asked weakly, “h.e.l.lo, please show your members.h.i.+p card…”
Jiang Chen frowned slightly. He couldn’t understand the language.
The bodyguard standing on the side immediately leaned over and whispered in his ear.
Seeing as Jiang Chen didn’t respond, the server was somewhat at a loss.
Just then, Jiang Chen heard fluent Mandarin from the bar.
“Mr. Jiang is my guest. How dare you stop him at the door?”
This sentence was obviously for Jiang Chen because the server cearly didn’t understand.
A young man walked out of the bar. He was also in a suit. His proper appearance could be considered handsome, but he was half a head shorter than Jiang Chen. He first lectured the server with a few words then put on a smile and greeted Jiang Chen.
“The hospitality here isn’t good. I hope Mr. Jiang can forgive me.”
Jiang Chen raised his eyebrows and smiled slightly.
“No worries. Come to speak of it, Mr. Sumitomo arrived first?”.
“Allow me to be honest. This business bar is one of Sumitomo’s a.s.sets. When Mr. Jiang called, we were negotiating with Yoto Power.” Sumitomo gestured at the bar. “Please come inside.”
Jiang Chen followed him in. “Oh? If you don’t mind me asking, what business is it?”
“About the merger and acquisition of the power management rights of a city in the county.”
When Sumitomo said that, he was quite confident, so Jiang Chen, who was walking next to him, actually eyed him for a few seconds.
Showing the strength of one’s own side without any traces, it seemed that the intelligence of Sumitomo Foundation was certainly quite informed, and they already knew the topic of today’s negotiation.
From the layout of the bar, this so-called high-end business bar didn’t have the blinding lights and loud music of other bars. The lighting in the lobby was soft and the decor was elegant with a Western design and a touch of traditional style.
Most people who drank there were in business formal attire.
A beautiful waiter took the two to the lounge deep in the bar and respectfully opened the door for the duo.
However, before entering, Sumitomo stopped Jiang Chen and turned to look at him.
“Do you need to take a bath first?”
Jiang Chen paused for a moment then smiled and shook his head. “No, I have a date tonight.”
There was only one possibility to take a bath here.
If he had time, he wouldn’t mind experiencing their “unique” culture, but since he still needed to attend Liu Yao’s premiere, the timing wouldn’t necessarily work out.
