"Captain Hanoli of the Presidential Guard, his full name is Hanoli Okefor Stanrockley."

When Fabio said this name, Meng Shaoyuan understood it immediately.

Fabio smiled: "Hannoli has always been a close confidant of President Aguinaldo. He has helped the president do many things, many shady things, so he has won Aguinaldo's trust. And Stan

The Rockley family gradually took shape from that time.

Because they have done so many shameful things, this family is also nicknamed the ‘Dirty Family’. Of course, as time goes by, not many people know this name.”

No matter which country's history, there are too many similar things.

The Stan Rockley family is nothing more than a branch of it.

However, in the Philippines, the power of such a family suddenly became dazzling and mysterious.

"Colonel, I am telling you this because I hope you will be vigilant." Fabio continued: "Since Aguinaldo, the Stanrockley family has done many similar things. Maybe on the surface,

They will act harmless, but it's hard to say what they will do in private."

Meng Shaoyuan nodded, which was a kind reminder.

While we were chatting there, the manager just now opened the door and walked in: "Mr. Kaveri Stanrockley has arrived."

"Okay, please invite him in."

As soon as he finished speaking, a man who looked to be in his early forties walked in.

She has fair skin and wears glasses.

What she is wearing is traditional Filipino clothing.

As soon as he came in, he clasped his hands and said, "Mr. President, it is a great honor for me to receive your call."

After saying that, he looked to Meng Shaoyuan aside: "Who is this?"

"Mr. Caverly Stanrockley, Colonel Charles."

As soon as Fabio introduced him, an exaggerated expression appeared on Caveri's face: "Are you the savior of Cabanatuan, the hero of Manila, Colonel Charles?"

"Ah, do people outside call me that?" Meng Shaoyuan also looked surprised.

here we go.

The two people who met for the first time quickly let themselves get involved in the actor's performance.

"Yes, Colonel, that's what I call you." Kavli's expression was as reverent as he could be: "Please forgive me, I just returned to my homeland from the United States, and I haven't had time to visit you yet. But even in the United States

I have often heard of your name in newspapers or other channels.

You are a legend and an amazing person. It is my greatest honor to see you here today. If possible, please allow me to host a banquet today to entertain you, the hero of Manila."

"Of course, Mr. Stan Rockley."

Originally, this invitation to treat guests to dinner was just a courtesy, but Meng Shaoyuan agreed immediately, which made Kaveri a little unexpected.

He paused for a moment, then smiled with a smile on his face: "That's great. I have opened a new hotel very close to here. We will be there in the evening. Ah, Mr. President, please be sure to attend.

"

"Of course, who would refuse Mr. Stan Rockley's invitation?" Fabio said with a smile: "Mr. Stan Rockley, Colonel is my friend. I came today because I have a small matter to discuss with you."

He emphasized the little things.

Meng Shaoyuan laughed in his heart, this was not easy for President Fabio.

He first said that he was his friend.

Then, small things were mentioned.

If Stan Rockley is not willing to agree to even this "little thing", then obviously Mr. President will be very embarrassed.

Kavli said without thinking: "Colonel, as long as it is within my ability, I will do my best no matter what."

At this point, Meng Shaoyuan no longer concealed anything: "Mr. Stan Rockley, I invested in a friend of mine who is going to open a shoe store. Of course, this kind of store is not worth anything in Stan Rockley's eyes."

Mention it, but it means a lot to my friends.”

When he said this, Kaveri seemed to understand something immediately: "Colonel, you need a good store to open a store. Ah, where else is more suitable than Makati? Look, Colonel, I happen to have six stores.

If your friend likes it, I can transfer it to him."

This kind of refreshment was something Meng Shaoyuan never expected.

After all, the commercial value of those six stores is huge. No matter who controls them, they will suffer commercial losses if they want to transfer them.

However, Caveli not only guessed that Meng Shaoyuan was eyeing his store, but he also agreed so readily.

It is not unreasonable for the Stan Rockley family to survive to this day.

However, there is no such thing as unprovoked kindness in this world.

If Kaveri is willing to give up, he must be seeking something.

Meng Shaoyuan was convinced of this.

"Thank you very much for your generosity, Mr. Stan Rockley." Meng Shaoyuan said calmly: "Of course, you own these six stores and have invested a lot of money. We will all bear the related expenses, including the leasing fees."

"It's not urgent." Kaveri said, "I think we can talk about these things in detail later during dinner."

As he said that, he looked at the time: "Colonel, Mr. President, then, I will go back to the hotel to make preparations. In an hour, Mr. President, please bring the Colonel with you."

Then he left politely.

"He will definitely agree."

As soon as Cavelli left, Fabio said: "He will not offend two people at the same time just for this matter."

"But when it's time to eat, he will definitely have conditions." Meng Shaoyuan said unhurriedly.

Fabio smiled: "Mr. Charles, if you can think of this, then I think you can have the upper hand in the subsequent negotiations."

…

As the center of Manila, Makati's recovery far exceeds that of other places.

In any commercial area, once there are many hotels and hotels, it means two words:

bustling.

Same goes for Makati.

Although the war is still going on, it seems to be far away from the war here.

Only the US military planes whizzing overhead to support the front line told everyone that the war was not over yet.

The hotel in Kaveri is not that big.

But as soon as you walk in, you can deeply feel the luxurious atmosphere here.

All materials are selected from the best.

Being able to re-build such a hotel in such a short period of time clearly shows Kaveri's ability.

Kaveri had already been there to greet him.

Meng Shaoyuan took a look and found that except for Kaveri, the hotel manager, and the waiter, there were no other guests.

As if he could see what Meng Shaoyuan was thinking, Kaveri immediately said: "Colonel, Mr. President, it is my greatest honor for you to be here. Therefore, I order that no other guests will be received here today."

This guy knows how to behave.

This is what Meng Shaoyuan had in mind.

The private room is also not big.

But the decoration is very exquisite and unique.

It even has a hint of warmth.

A private room like this is the most suitable for discussing private matters.

The dishes served are also very unique local dishes in Manila.

The wine used is French red wine.

According to Cavelli, these red wines were specially flown in by him.

"After France was liberated, the channels for obtaining red wine became smoother." Cavelli drove away the waiter and filled several glasses with wine himself: "However, due to the destruction of the Nazi Germany, the red wine in France

The industry has been greatly damaged. So the numbers have become scarce."

With just a few words, he told others in an understatement that getting these red wines was actually not an easy task.

"Colonel, Mr. President, thank you for your compliment."

Cavelli raised his glass first: "For the Philippines, and for our staunch ally the United States."

Several people clinked their glasses.

After sitting down, Kaveri enthusiastically introduced the dishes on the table.

They are all Manila's specialties. Whether it's Meng Shaoyuan or Fabio, they have eaten them countless times.

But as the host, Kaveri still expressed his attitude humbly.
