Almighty Coach

On the return journey, Huang Zhicheng was still thinking about what happened just now.

"How did Li Dai become Duke Gail's distinguished guest?" Huang Zhicheng continued, "He's just an ordinary coach, and his parents are ordinary salaried workers. His family has no money, no background. I'll investigate all these pass."

It was Huang Zhicheng who investigated Li Dai's details at the beginning, so he knew Li Dai's family background and work experience in these years very well, so Huang Zhicheng couldn't understand why Li Dai and Gail The duke is involved in friendship. No matter from which angle, a domestic sports coach and a British hereditary duke shouldn't have an intersection.

"There are always things in this world that people don't expect." Xiao Dingtian was calmer than Huang Zhicheng. He lowered his head and thought for a few seconds, and then said; "When you get back, you can contact me Dai Li, see if he can help us and meet Duke Gail."

Huang Zhicheng looked at Xiao Dingtian in astonishment. He never expected that Xiao Dingtian would be able to pull this face off and ask Li Dai for help.

"What? Are you surprised? Do you think it would be embarrassing to go to Dai Li?" Xiao Dingtian shook his head with a smile, and then said, "It's normal for you to think so, but if you can get If the Canadian natural gas project is next, I will lose face for nothing!"

As Xiao Dingtian said, he sighed somewhat reminiscently, and asked, "Zhicheng, you have been working in Dingtian for more than ten years, right?"

"Counting this year, it's been fifteen years. It's been ten years just by your side." Huang Zhicheng nodded.

"Yeah, you haven't experienced the years when I first started my business. When you came to be my assistant, Dingtian had already stepped into the right track and became one of the best big companies in the province. So, you don't know, Those things I experienced in the early days of my business." Xiao Dingtian shook his head with a wry smile, and continued: "I remember when I first started my business, it was common to ask for help in a low voice. It’s good enough to survive.”

"As for now, it may appear to outsiders that I am a very successful entrepreneur with a net worth of hundreds of billions, but in fact, there are still many places to ask for help, but most of the time, I am no longer so humble, but Carry out a win-win cooperation model, but in essence, it is still the same as spending money and gifts to ask others to do things for us 20 or 30 years ago! In comparison, I feel more at ease when I ask Li Dai for help, my daughter I'm about to be abducted by him, why don't you do me a favor!" When Xiao Dingtian said this, he suddenly laughed: "But your opinion of this kid is very accurate, his luck is really good !"

...

In another car, Chai Zhennan, Chai Liang and his son were sitting in the back row of the car.

"Do you know that person just now?" Chai Zhennan asked.

"Yes, his name is Li Dai, and he is Xiao Yunan's boyfriend. I met him at Xiao Yunan's birthday party last time." Chai Liang replied.

"Xiao Yunan's boyfriend? Then he is likely to become Xiao Dingtian's son-in-law?" Chai Zhennan frowned while talking: "Which song is Xiao Dingtian singing for me? His future son-in-law He clearly knows Duke Gail, so why did he come to our Chai family to make a match? By the way, who is his son-in-law? If he can be offered to work by Duke Gail, he should not be from the mainland? Is he an overseas Chinese? ?”

"That Dai Li is an ordinary coach from the Mainland!" Chai Liang snorted coldly.

"Ordinary coach? Can an ordinary coach be the guest of Duke Gale?" Chai Zhennan obviously did not approve of his son's judgment at all. But then, he let out a long sigh of disappointment, and then continued: "However, we may have to book a ticket back to Hong Kong Island.

"Why?" Chai Liang asked subconsciously, and then he understood immediately, "Is it because of that Dai Li?"

Chai Zhennan nodded: "Xiao Dingtian approached our Chai family to cooperate because he took a fancy to our Chai family's connections in the UK, and hoped that through our Chai family's matchmaking, we could negotiate this business with Duke Gail, so Xiao Dingtian Dingtian is willing to give our family a piece of the pie. However, he has a new door now. With that Li Dai, Xiao Dingtian can get on with Duke Gail himself. Do you think he will give us a piece of the pie? Is it?"

"Such a big business, is it worthless? If Xiao Dingtian does it alone without us, wouldn't he cross the river and tear down the bridge!" Chai Liang said angrily.

"The shopping mall is like a battlefield! If our Chai family has so much money and can monopolize the Canadian natural gas business, do you think I will cooperate with Dingtian Group?" Chai Zhennan continued in a teaching tone: "I am now I think, on the contrary, I should thank Xiao Dingtian, he taught you this lesson and let you know the cruelty of the shopping mall!"

Chai Liang nodded silently. After all, he is in his thirties, and he is the third generation successor of the Chai family in Hong Kong Island. He has been working in the mall for several years. After that, he calmed down.

Although the Chai family is a well-established rich man on Hong Kong Island, they are not as good as Dingtian Group in terms of total assets and liquidity. Dingtian Group is mainly engaged in real estate. Thanks to the continuous doubling of housing prices in recent years, Dingtian has also rapidly accumulated a large amount of wealth. As long as there is no large-scale robbing of the "land king", Dingtian's capital chain is still very healthy.

In contrast, the Chai family started their business by shipping. Their main assets are the hundreds of ocean-going freighters, as well as some shares in the wharf and properties on Hong Kong Island. These are valuable when counted as assets, but they are not short-term. Things that can be realized within the family, so Chai's ability to mobilize sufficient liquidity is far inferior to that of Dingtian.

...

Dai Li received a text message from Huang Zhicheng.

"Chairman Xiao wants to invite me to dinner?" Dai Li looked at the phone with some guilt: "Could it be another Hongmen banquet?"

After hesitating for a few seconds, Dai Li replied to the text message and agreed. For Xiao Dingtian, avoiding the problem will definitely not solve the problem, and his future father-in-law will inevitably face it head-on.

In the evening, Dai Li came to the restaurant of the hotel where Xiao Dingtian lived on time.

“Today’s starter was West Coast halibut fillet with lobster mousse; main course was Balmoral roast venison with soft Madeira cake, truffle sauce, braised red cabbage, roasted potatoes and roasted walnuts, pumpkin and celeriac ; In addition, there are mango and lemon dark chocolate and fruit desserts. I have already ordered them to serve." Huang Zhicheng introduced.

Dai Li didn't know much about these things, but he felt that since Xiao Dingtian was treating guests to dinner, the quality would definitely not be too low. He guessed that these dishes were only available at top-level banquets in the UK.

On the opposite side, Xiao Dingtian didn't speak, but looked at Li Dai with a scrutinizing gaze, which made Li Dai feel a little anxious, but he didn't dare to speak.

The two protagonists didn't speak, and the dinner table suddenly became a little awkward.

After almost a minute of silence, Xiao Dingtian said first, "I want to meet with Duke Gail to discuss a business deal. Please introduce me."

"Okay, I'll talk to Duke Gail tomorrow." Dai Li's answer was completely without thinking, and he subconsciously agreed.

"Then let's eat." Xiao Dingtian still had that expressionless expression on his face, neither happy nor sad, as if he hadn't talked to Dai Li just now.

"That's the end of the talk?" Huang Zhicheng stared at the two with wide eyes. He thought it would be a more complicated conversation. Even if he didn't pay attention to the thatched cottage, he still talked for half an hour, explaining the ins and outs of the matter. It was very clear, and they evaded each other again, but they didn't expect that they would finish with just these two sentences.

"Maybe the chairman is still a little embarrassed. Although he is trying to be brave in his mouth, it may not be the case in his heart." Huang Zhicheng thought about it, and felt that he should introduce it in detail.

So Huang Zhicheng said: "In recent years, our Dingtian Group is also undergoing transformation, from a real estate development company to a diversified operation. Recently, the chairman intends to enter the energy field, and natural gas is an investment direction that we are very optimistic about. .Compared with oil, natural gas is obviously a cleaner energy source, and environmental protection is so strict now, so the chairman is very optimistic about the future potential of natural gas."

Dai Li nodded. He also read the newspaper saying that the price of natural gas has been rising recently, especially in winter, and the heating situation has caused the so-called "gas shortage" in many places.

I only heard Huang Zhicheng continue to say: "Our country's natural gas is mainly supplied by Russia and Qatar, and in addition to Russia and the Middle East, North America also has a lot of natural gas resources. In the case of the United States, due to its own industrial needs, most of them Natural gas is used domestically, and almost all Canadian natural gas is exported."

"Canada is the third largest producer of natural gas in the world, second only to the United States and Russia. At the same time, Canada is also the second largest exporter of natural gas in the world. In fact, if Canada can invest more in natural gas production, it is possible for Canada to exceed Russia, the world's largest producer of natural gas."

"We, Dingtian Group, value Canadian natural gas resources very much and hope to invest in this area. But when it comes to this kind of resource investment, the resistance is relatively large. Foreigners don't want us to invest in their country's energy industry. So If you want to get a share of Canadian natural gas, it is not enough to rely on funds alone, you also need the help of a third party, such as Duke Gail."

"Duke Gail's family entered Canada in the early days of colonization, and Duke Gail's great-grandfather was also the governor of Canada. At that time, Duke Gail's family bought a lot of land in Canada. At that time, the land was just some barren land. Wasteland, and Duke Gail didn't spend much money at that time."

"Later, natural gas was discovered under those barren wastelands. Although Canada had gained independence at that time and was no longer a British colony, the British passed the "Canadian Constitution Act" in 1982, and Canada also had legislation and constitutional amendments Therefore, like the Duke of Gail, the interests of the traditional British nobles in Canada have been preserved to this day. Therefore, the Duke of Gail has a lot of say in matters related to Canadian natural gas. After all, the natural gas in Canada , were dug out from their land.”

Dai Li breathed a sigh of relief: "No wonder I saw you at Duke Gail's castle today!"

"Could it be that you still think that we have nothing to do and come to England to trouble you?" Huang Zhicheng also laughed.

"I really thought about it that way." Dai Li thought to himself, but he didn't dare to say so, he continued to ask, "Did you see Duke Gail today?"

Huang Zhicheng shook his head: "This Duke Gail is so good at showing off, he really considers himself a nobleman. We also went there yesterday, but he beat us with a box of biscuits."

"Blueberry flavor, right?" Dai Li said casually. He also ate yesterday's biscuits. At this time, Dai Li finally recalled that the two familiar figures he saw through the window yesterday were Xiao Dingtian and Huang Zhicheng.

"By the way, how did you know Duke Gail?" Huang Zhicheng asked.

"Well, it's a long story. Duke Gail had an accident ten years ago..." Dai Li briefly introduced how he helped Duke Gail recover.

After Dai Li finished speaking, the waiter came over pushing the dining cart, and brought the appetizers flounder fillet and lobster mousse to the table.

Dai Li was not polite, and started to eat directly. Although the food looked pretty, the amount was not much, just a little bit, and he ate it up in two or three bites.

Then the main dish was served, and Li Dai also stuffed it into his stomach like a gulp.

Xiao Dingtian on the opposite side put down his knife and fork, wiped his mouth, and asked casually, "Dai Li, are you interested in doing business in Dingtian?"

Dai Li was taken aback for a moment, and he also put down the knife and fork in his hand, looking at Xiao Dingtian with some confusion.

"If you are willing to work in Dingtian, I can arrange a suitable position for you, and I will give you some opportunities. If you can prove your ability, in the future, you will have the opportunity to be my position." Xiao Ding Tim said very calmly.

As soon as Xiao Dingtian said this, both Li Dai and Huang Zhicheng were taken aback. Xiao Dingtian's position is the chairman of Dingtian Group.

"You're really joking. I'm just a coach. I don't know how to run a business." Dai Li said, but looked at Xiao Dingtian cautiously. He didn't know what Xiao Dingtian was selling in his gourd. medicine.

"Study if you don't understand, no one is born an entrepreneur." Xiao Dingtian's tone became serious.

"Chairman Xiao can't tell the truth!" Dai Li thought silently in his heart.

"Why, do you find it incredible?" Xiao Dingtian looked at Li Dai, and continued in a very oppressive tone: "You like Yunan, but I don't think you are suitable, so I told you before , I don't want you to be together, you are not a suitable candidate for my son-in-law in my mind."

"But now I feel that I can give you a chance. I want to try to train you and see if you can meet the requirements in my heart. If your performance can satisfy me, I can promise you to be with Yunan , after I retire in the future, I can safely call Dingtian Group into your hands, even if it is my dowry to Yunan." Xiao Dingtian said, picked up the wine glass, and took a sip of red wine by himself.

Li Dai's eyes widened in surprise, he couldn't accept what Xiao Dingtian said for a while.

"Did I hear correctly? Dingtian is handed over to me? Give me a large group with a market value of hundreds of billions?" Li Dai only felt that his mind was starting to go awry.
