When they arrived at the box, they saw a man in a formal suit sitting inside. He sat down, and there was a bottle of Louis XIII and two red wine glasses. When he saw Chu Yuntian coming, the man in the suit immediately stood up and said in a very poor Guangdong dialect: "Hello, Mr. Chu, I have heard of your name for a long time. Today I see that you are indeed a dragon among men!"
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand.
As the saying goes, you should not hit a smiling person. Since the other party had been polite before using force, Chu Yuntian did not want to give him the cold shoulder. He immediately shook hands and said, "Sir, should you introduce yourself first and tell me why you are here?" without even looking at the red wine on the table.
"This is my oversight. My last name is Zhang, my given name is three characters, and I come from the Western Province. As for the purpose of my trip, I believe Mr. Chu has already guessed it. I would like to ask Mr. Chu if he has any intention of cooperating with us. As far as I know, the foundation of the Guang Province is not stable now, and it is unable to take care of itself."
cooperate
Chu Yuntian thought for a moment, not caring whether the other party's name Zhang San was a trick or not. He originally thought that the other party came with a big stick. If it came to cooperation, a win-win situation would naturally be the best choice. At this time, he didn't want to cause any more trouble.
"How do you cooperate?"
Zhang San showed a confident smile of having won. Now that the two provinces were simultaneously exerting pressure on Guangdong Province, it would naturally be much easier to make Chu Yuntian surrender.
"Guang Province belongs to Mr. Chu. This will not change now and in the future. We will help Mr. Chu take care of some areas that he has no time to take care of. In addition, Mr. Chu will pay us 30% of the gross profit of all his properties in Guang Province as labor fees every year. What do you think of this, Mr. Chu?"
"How much?" Chu Yuntian narrowed his eyes.
"Thirty percent!" Zhang San nodded, indicating that Chu Yuntian had not heard wrong.
"Hehehe... Can I understand it this way? You guys don't interfere with my territory now, but I have to pay you protection money. Is that what you mean?"
Zhang San shook his head like a rattle and said, "Mr. Chu, what are you talking about? We are cooperating, and cooperation is beneficial to both sides. How can it be protection money? If Mr. Chu is willing, we can withdraw our people from Guang Province immediately. Otherwise, with the people from Xi Province and the people from Nan Province, Mr. Chu may be alone. A hero cannot defeat a large number of people."
Chu Yuntian's breathing gradually became heavy. If paying only 30% of his income could really buy him long-term peace, this would be a temporary solution. But don't forget that the other party has another condition. For the places that he has no time to take care of, he will leave them to take care of.
What does it mean to hand it over to the other party? It means it becomes their territory.
Although Chu Yuntian is now the largest force in Guang Province, there are also many small forces. These cats and dogs together occupy almost one-third to one-half of the territory of Guang Province, which is also a large piece of fat meat.
The most important thing is, if he reaches an agreement with the West Province today, the people from the South Province will ask him to pay 40% protection fee tomorrow because they think he is easy to bully. The day after tomorrow, the people from the East Province will ask him to pay 50%. If this continues, his reform plan for Guang Province will not be carried out.
The most important thing is that you cannot allow others to snore beside your bed. Once these people come, it will be difficult to drive them away.
Thinking of this, Chu Yuntian's voice also turned cold, and he said coldly: "It seems that you have no sincerity at all. If this is the case, I think there is no need for us to continue the discussion."
After saying that, he turned around and was about to leave, but Zhang San hurriedly tried to stop him, saying, "Mr. Chu, please wait a moment. Why don't you act on impulse? Why don't you think about it first before making any plans?"
"Pay 30% of the gross profit? And then hand over the things that I can't control to you? This is impossible!" Chu Yuntian had completely lost the mood to talk. The other party's condition was completely treating him as a fish on the chopping board to be slaughtered. Did they really think that he was easy to bully
Seeing Chu Yuntian was about to leave, the people who were doing other things in the hotel immediately surrounded him in twos and threes, blocking Chu Yuntian's way. Chu Yuntian originally suspected that the bar had been booked by Zhang San, and now it seemed that they were all the people he brought with him.
"You want to kill people to silence them?" Chu Yuntian raised his eyelids, and at the same time, he glanced at the people outside. There were only a dozen people on the other side, and basically there were no warriors. Nan Sheng must know that it would be useless to use ordinary people to deal with him, so there was only one explanation.
These people all carry guns!
When I looked at those people's waists again, they were all bulging as expected. In such a small bar, there were actually more than a dozen guns hidden at the same time.
Zhang San also stood up from the leather sofa, looking like he was in control, and said, "Why is Mr. Chu doing this? Isn't it better to have peace? I came here with all my sincerity to discuss cooperation with Mr. Chu. If Mr. Chu insists on quarreling with us, let's take a step back. Do you think you can get out of here today?"
The threat in Zhang San's words was obvious. As soon as he finished speaking, more than a dozen people in the bar took out their pistols from their waists. More than a dozen guns, with their black muzzles pointed at Chu Yuntian.
Chu Yuntian doesn't have Chen's ability. At such a close distance, even with a pistol, he would probably be shot into a hornet's nest.
"Really?" As soon as Chu Yuntian finished speaking, Zhang San felt a figure flash in front of him and a strong wind hit his face. He thought it was not good. When he was about to take the pistol at his waist, Chu Yuntian had already arrived in front of him. His reaction speed was already very fast, but Chu Yuntian was faster than him. As soon as he touched the pistol, Zhang San felt his wrist sore and his whole arm almost lost consciousness, and then... Chu Yuntian grabbed his throat directly and lifted him out like a chicken.
"I may die here, but you will definitely die before me. Do you believe it?"
Zhang San no longer had that confident smile on his face, and even breathing became difficult. The others glared at him as Zhang San was caught.
“Third brother!”
"You bastard, let Third Brother go!"
They had already pulled the triggers of their pistols, but because Chu Yuntian had Zhang San as a hostage, they couldn't do either to fight or not to fight. They could only watch Chu Yuntian walk to the door of the bar.
When they got to the street, Chu Yuntian held Zhang San's throat with one hand and put his other hand around his shoulder, looking like two very good buddies. "Okay, Mr. Zhang, go back and tell your master that this three-acre land in Guang Province is my territory. If he dares to stir up trouble, no matter if he is a dragon or a dog, I will make him pay for it."
Chu Yuntian took off the gun from Zhang San's waist and said, "Just treat this thing as a gift to me. Now you can get out."
"You won't kill me?" Zhang San's eyes flashed with an inexplicable color. (To be continued)
