Chapter 3158: One of our own
Faced with Steve's question, Ye Chen just smiled slightly, noncommittal, and didn't answer.
The reason Helena could make Steve's father, Howard, shorten the time for building the AI model from one or two years to one month was the purchase right of half a Sanxue Heart-Saving Pill.
As long as Howard completed the construction of the AI model within the specified time, he could obtain the qualification to purchase half a Sanxue Heart-Saving Pill for 50 billion US dollars. This was the condition that attracted him the most.
Therefore, Howard mobilized all the resources he could mobilize and turned this impossible thing into possible.
With his fanaticism for the Sanxue Heart-Saving Pill, he would definitely go to Northern Europe personally, personally deliver the AI model to Helena, and then immediately buy half a Sanxue Heart-Saving Pill.
Ye Chen could even conclude that he would definitely take the Sanxue Heart-Saving Pill on the spot after getting it, and would never hesitate for even a second.
However, for Steve, this was certainly not good news. The more pills his father got, the longer his life would be, and the slimmer his chances of inheriting the family would be.
At this moment, Ye Chen looked at Steve, picked up his wine glass, and said with a smile: "Come, Steve, you are leaving today, I will toast you."
Steve saw Ye Chen change the subject and knew that things were about the same as he guessed. He sighed slightly, but still stood up very respectfully, and at the same time picked up his wine glass, devoutly: "Mr. Ye, you are too polite, I toast you!"
After saying this, he looked up and drank a glass of Moutai.
Ye Chen nodded, signaled Hong Wu to fill Steve's glass, and then raised his glass again, laughing: "Come, let's deepen it!"
"Deepen?" Steve was a little stunned, not understanding what Ye Chen meant by deepening.
Ye Chen laughed: "We Chinese people say that feelings are in the wine. To deepen it means to have another glass, to deepen the feelings."
"Oh, oh!" Steve suddenly realized and laughed: "So that's what deepening means! Then this must be deepened. Mr. Ye, just deepening one is not enough, let's deepen two!"
Ye Chen smiled: "No problem, two it is."
Although Steve's alcohol tolerance was average, he was willing to go all out. He drank two more glasses in a row before sitting back in his seat.
At this time, Steve's face was already a bit flushed. Ye Chen asked him with a smile: "By the way, Steve, you have been in Jin Ling for so long this time, how do you feel?"
Steve said without hesitation: "Mr. Ye, Jin Ling is indeed a good place. I will definitely come often in the future. I have said before that I would come to Jin Ling to invest, and I will definitely keep my word. I might have to come and disturb you often in the future."
Ye Chen nodded, patted Hong Wu on the shoulder beside him, and laughed: "Anyway, you are familiar with Hong Wu. If you come to Jin Ling in the future, greet him in advance, and he will definitely treat you well."
Hong Wu laughed and said: "Yes, Mr. Rothschild, we are all our own people. You have my contact information. Contact me in advance when you come to Jin Ling in the future."
"Good, good, good! We are all our own people, I will definitely contact Mr. Hong in advance!" Steve nodded repeatedly, with an uncontrollable smile on his face.
He didn't understand why. Hong Wu was clearly just a little brother beside Ye Chen. In terms of net worth, strength, and social status, he was far behind himself.
However, when the words "our own people" came out of Hong Wu's mouth, he actually felt a bit moved, and even a bit flattered.
Thus, he immediately picked up his wine glass again, stood up, and said to Hong Wu: "Mr. Hong is right, we are all our own people. Come, Mr. Hong, I toast you!"
Now it was Hong Wu's turn to be flattered. He thought to himself: "Fuck, I, Hong Wu, following Master Ye, this is really the ancestral grave smoking. Who would have thought that the second-in-command of the Rothschild family would actually toast me a glass of wine? Next week is the anniversary of my short-lived father's death. If I tell him this when I go to sweep his grave, he will jump out of the grave and point at my nose and call me a braggart..."
Steve saw Hong Wu sitting in his seat grinning, and didn't take his toast, so he quickly whispered: "Mr. Hong? Mr. Hong?"
Hong Wu came back to his senses and said with a regretful face: "Hey, Mr. Rothschild, it would be great if you could stay for a few more days. We brothers haven't had enough fun yet!"
After saying this, he also hurriedly stood up, held his wine glass high, stretched it out to Steve with effort, and said loudly: "Mr. Rothschild, I toast you!"
Steve said happily: "Let's not talk about who toasts whom, let's deepen it too!"
"Deepen, must deepen!" Hong Wu said readily: "Next time you come to Jin Ling, come to Tianxiang Mansion as soon as you get off the plane! I will host a banquet to welcome you! We are all brothers, just treat this place as your own home. As long as you are in Jin Ling, you can come whenever you want to eat the food here. If you want to eat anything, just let the chef make it for you. No need to order, just let them stir-fry the whole menu for you!"
Steve suddenly liked the rich atmosphere of the world on the wine table, and he was very satisfied in his heart, so he said very solemnly: "If Mr. Ye and Mr. Hong have time to go to the United States in the future, please contact me in advance. I will personally go to the airport to welcome you and do all the welcoming work for the two of you!"
After saying this, he looked at Zhou Liangyun beside him and said while patting his chest: "Mr. Zhou, please rest assured. I am different from my father. He is an old stubborn, obsessed with that Four-Directional Treasure all day long. I don't care about these. Whatever Four-Directional Treasure, Eight-Directional Treasure, anyway, they are all things from your China. Returning them is a matter of course. If I become the head of the Rothschild family in the future, I will return all the Chinese collections of the family without missing one. At that time, you can also return to the United States openly at any time, without looking at anyone's face!"
When saying this, Steve couldn't help but glance at Ye Chen, wanting to see what Ye Chen's expression was to his grand words and ambitions.
Although Ye Chen had a calm smile on his face, he thought in his heart: "Sure enough, men all over the world are the same. As long as they drink too much, they love to brag."
Zhou Liangyun also knew very well that it would take twenty or thirty years or even longer for Steve to become the family head, so he just took what he said as a joke, so he smiled and nodded, raised his glass and said: "Then thank you in advance, Mr. Rothschild!"
Steve said seriously: "What thanks, isn't this what should be done? I can't control the British government and their royal family, otherwise, I would force them to return all the Chinese cultural relics in the British Museum!"
After saying this, he looked at Ye Chen again and said with the strength of the wine: "Mr. Ye, why don't I hire some mercenaries and grab the Chinese cultural relics in the British Museum back!"
Ye Chen felt a headache and laughed helplessly: "The British snatched Chinese cultural relics, and finally let the Americans help grab them back. This doesn't seem appropriate. I have felt your enthusiasm, but this method is not advisable. It is more appropriate for the Chinese people to ask for their own things back in the future." ===== CHAPTER 3159 =====
