As a Magnate, I Started Checking in at a Convenience Store

  Chapter 409 Dinner

   "Hello, Mr. Norman!"

   "Mr. Zhou, I don't know if it's convenient for you. At noon, I would like to invite you to taste the food of our fashion capital!" Norman's hearty voice came over.

   Zhou Chao pondered for a moment and said: "No problem, tell me the place, I'll just come and find you!"

   "Le Pré Catelan, a Michelin three-star restaurant that is still very famous in Paris!"

   "Well~ I'll pack up and go!"

   After hanging up the phone, Zhou Chao was thinking about why Norman called him. After thinking about it for a while, he couldn't figure it out.

   "Myers, take Todd and the others to find a high-end restaurant for dinner, and Lin Wu will accompany me to meet Norman!"

"Young Master Zhou, let me accompany you. After all, the place you are going to is located in the suburbs of Paris. I am familiar with this area, and I also know that there are other restaurants near this Michelin three-star restaurant, which are just right for us! "Todd said quickly.

   Zhou Chao pondered for a moment, and what Todd said was not wrong. After all, he and Lin Wu were not familiar with Paris. After thinking about it, he nodded and agreed to Todd's suggestion.

   "Okay, let's go!" Then the group walked out of the hotel.

  Lin Wu and Todd naturally followed Zhou Chao into the first car, and Miles got into the last car. The three cars drove out of the hotel and headed for the agreed place.

  The restaurant is located in the Bois de Boulogne, which is a park in the suburbs of Paris. The restaurant is a small white western-style building. The appearance is not very eye-catching. When passing by other restaurants, the appearance looks much more luxurious than this restaurant.

  The car parked steadily at the door of the restaurant, and the bodyguards in professional attire caught the attention of many passers-by.

   "Todd, you take them and follow Miles to find a good restaurant next door. Lin Wu, you go too. I'll go in alone."

   "Boss, why don't I go with you!" Lin Wu hurriedly stood up and said.

   "No, I'll call you if I have something to do. Okay, let's go!" After finishing breakfast, he turned and walked into the restaurant.

   Zhou Chao is wearing a simple casual attire, and it stands to reason that he will be stopped by the doorman of the restaurant. After all, there is an unknown rule that you need to wear formal attire when you come to Michelin 3 stars, but does Zhou Chao care about these?

   Totally don't care! !

  The doorman can be regarded as very discerning. When he saw a row of men in black who got out of the car with Zhou Chao, with suitcases in their hands, he couldn't help feeling nervous.

  Seeing Zhou Chao approaching, the doorman respectfully opened the glass door of the restaurant and let Zhou Chao walk in.

   "Hello, sir, do you have an appointment?" A very formally dressed welcome guest quickly walked up.

   "Norman!"

  Hearing this name, the welcome man was shocked, and his eyes towards Zhou Chao became more respectful.

   "Mr. Norman has arrived, sir, please follow me!" The welcoming man quickly stretched out his right hand as a gesture of invitation, and led Zhou Chao into the restaurant.

   The interior of the restaurant is a Napoleon III style, richly decorated, in polychrome, rich colors obtained in polychrome marble, malachite, onyx, porphyry, mosaics, and in silvered or gilded bronze.

   It gave Zhou Chao the feeling of luxury and nobility, a feeling of royal family. Maybe he saw less about this aspect, but it still made his eyes shine.

   Soon the welcoming man led Zhou Chao to the door of a private room, knocked on the door a few times, opened the door and walked in.

   "Mr. Norman, your guest has arrived!"

  A middle-aged man with a slightly fat body was standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window admiring the scenery outside the window, and turned around quickly when he heard the welcome words.

  Looking at Zhou Chao who was following Yingbin, he was a little stunned for a while, but as the president of the top group, Norman quickly came back to his senses and greeted him enthusiastically.

   "Hello, Mr. Zhou, nice to meet you, I didn't expect you to be so young and handsome!"

   "Where is that!" Zhou Chao held Norman's hand a little bit indifferently.

  Norman said with a little doubt when he heard the words: "Mr. Zhou, your facial features are perfect, your body is strong, and your appearance is outstanding..."

   Now it's Zhou Chao's turn to be confused, why the little old man Norman started to praise himself!

   "Mr. Norman, don't praise me so much!"

   "Zhou, didn't you just ask me where I was, I will definitely point it out to you!"

   Only then did Zhou Chao realize that his polite words just now sounded to Norman as asking him what makes him feel good about his body.

  For a while, Zhou Chao felt like crying.

   Explained to Norman what he meant just now, and he nodded with a face of sudden realization.

   "Zhou, please sit down!"

   Immediately, the two of them sat down one after another. At this time, the welcoming guests standing aside asked respectfully: "Mr. Norman, can you arrange for the kitchen to serve the food?"

   "Hmm!" Hearing this, the welcome guest hastily left the private room.

  Seeing the welcome boy leave, Norman turned his head to look at Zhou Chao and said, "Sorry, Zhou, I don't know what flavor you like, so I just ordered all the dishes in the restaurant."

  Zhou Chao smiled and shook his head and said, "It's okay, I can try all kinds of food!"

   Soon, a waiter opened the door of the private room and walked in, and beautifully dressed delicacies were presented in front of the two of them.

   "Zhou, I specially arranged for the chef to make this for you. You can try it and see if it suits your taste!"

Zhou Chao looked at the delicacies on the table, and the structure of each dish was very simple. He was not responsible for the three-star Michelin star that he had eaten in Shanghai before. He thought it might be that the style of the chef here is to pursue the simplicity of the dishes. Bar.

After looking at it for a while, his eyes finally settled on the caviar and a champagne puck. Zhou Chao didn't hesitate, and started eating with a spoon. The moment the caviar entered the mouth, Zhou Chao scored 80 points in his heart , After all, I have eaten top-notch caviar recently and I am a little bored.

   "How about it, it's okay!" Norman looked at Zhou Chao with a smile on his face.

"not bad!"

   "As long as it suits your appetite!"

Immediately, the two started to eat, both of them ate very slowly. Zhou Chao mainly didn't like this kind of food, so he ate slowly, while Norman was absent-minded, as if he had something on his mind, but he didn't know where to say it. rise.

   Seeing this, Zhou Chao started talking.

   "Norman, you invited me to Paris from afar, not simply to attend a celebration dinner!"

Hearing Zhou Chao's words, Norman's face changed several times, and finally he sighed and said: "You also know that the Leidu Group was established by our family, and it has developed very well over the years, but our family is now only Holding 40% of the shares, there were other shareholders who were on our side before, so our family can fully control it.”

Norman paused for a moment, looked at Zhou Chao with complex emotions in his eyes, and continued after a while before continuing: "But the shares in the hands of these small shareholders have been acquired by you, and you have also become the owner of the group. The second largest shareholder, and the balance that controls the fate of Leidu is also in your hands!"

   Zhou Chao immediately understood when he heard this. He had heard Miles say that there were constant factional disputes within the Leidu Group before. Now he also understands that he feels that the key to victory.

   "Who is the other shareholder? Why haven't I seen him come to me!" Zhou Chao also asked curiously. After all, if the other faction wants to turn around, it will definitely come to win him over.

Norman pondered for a moment before saying: "Except for Miles, who you sent, I have your contact information in the whole group. Miles has done a good job of keeping secrets. As for me, how can I give you your contact information?" Your competitors are offering benefits!"

   Zhou Chao nodded in agreement when he heard the words, and then said: "Norman, you can rest assured about this, I am on your side!"

Norman looked puzzled at this time. He never thought that Zhou Chao was so easy to talk, and he didn't know if it was a smoke bomb that was released. At that time, the opponent gave him a high profit, so he abandoned himself. After all, the capitalist's worldview only pays attention to profit. .

   Immediately, he took out a bank card from his body and handed it to Zhou Chao.

   "Zhou, this is the Swiss Bank's anonymous top-level black card, with 200 million in it, I hope you accept it!"

   Zhou Chao picked it up and played with it. After all, he didn’t have the top-level black card of the Swiss Bank. After carefully looking at it for a while, he handed the black card back to Norman.

   "Norman, you should take it back, forget about this black card!"

Norman's face changed all of a sudden, and he was stunned for a while, thinking about what was going on in his mind, whether the competitor was one step ahead of him, or whether he made a mistake, and he thought for a while before returning Come on.

   "Zhou, why didn't you accept it? Did Wayne Fielding find you? I can add more to the amount he paid!" Looking at him nervously

   Zhou Chao laughed dumbly and said: "Norman, don't be nervous. I don't know the Wayne you mentioned, and he hasn't looked for me. There is a reason why I refused to accept your black card."

   Pausing for a while, looking at the Norman, he said with a nervous expression: "This is actually thanks to yourself!"

   Zhou Chao's words made Norman confused and asked in confusion: "Zhou, why do you say that!"

   "Haha, do you still remember that I am from that country?"

   "Huaxia Kingdom, it's the place I've always longed for!" Norman said with longing.

   "You should be thankful for your kind act years ago!"

   "A few years ago?" Norman frowned and thought about it. After thinking for a long time, he didn't think about what he had done.

Zhou Chao looked at Norman still puzzled, and said with a smile: "Thank you for returning the mouse head and rabbit head to us in 2013. I am here to express my gratitude, so you can also rest assured that we Huaxia will repay the favor, and at the same time, it will pay back the debt!"

   At the end, a cold light flashed in Zhou Chao's eyes, and Norman, who had been watching Zhou Chao from the side, also felt a chill in his heart.

  But soon Norman came back to his senses. He didn't expect that his actions a few years ago would bring back the strongest backing of his family!

  Norman stood up quickly, ready to bow to Zhou Chao, but Zhou Chao stopped him quickly.

   "We are considered friends, you don't have to!"
