In the evening, around nine o'clock.
In a high-end restaurant in Longkou District, Dabai sat on a chair, holding a glass of red wine, and was talking about his experiences in the Old Triangle: "I tell you, people say that people there are poor and backward, and they don't know how to do anything else except growing opium. But when I went there this time, I saw that the changes there are really huge, completely different from our inherent impression. Let's put it this way, in terms of economic potential, Longcheng may have a certain advantage over Hanoi, the capital of the Old Triangle, but in terms of infrastructure, they are now ahead of us..."
Su Tiannan curled his lips when he heard this: "That place has only been quiet for a few years. Can their infrastructure be better than that of Dragon City?"
"It's really better than here." Zhou Tonghui immediately interjected: "Let me tell you a detail. The subway lines in major cities there now cover 80% of the urban areas. What does this mean? It takes less than an hour to travel from the south to the north of Hanoi. And here? The subway is not yet fully built."
Su Tiannan was surprised: "Can the Old Triangle develop so fast?"
"Of course! The head of the Old Triangle has been through life and death with the leaders of the Chinese District. After the Chinese District was unified, 700,000 infrastructure teams were sent to the Old Triangle. They provided money and personnel, so how could the development not be fast?" Zhou Tonghui explained softly, "Moreover... Now in the entire Asian Alliance, the place that sends out the most war materials is the Old Triangle. The whole world is at war, and they are the spokespersons outside the Chinese District."
"That's right. The total amount of arms, war materials, and crude oil exported by the Old Triangle every year is as high as hundreds of billions. How can they handle such a large plate alone?" Su Tianyu echoed: "Aren't these things shipped from the inland?!"
"No, you are wrong." Dabai immediately denied: "Now some of these things are not really shipped from the inland."
"If it's not shipped out, how could it be produced by Old Triangle itself?" Su Tianyu replied with a sneer.
"Some of them are really produced by themselves." Su Tianbei immediately interjected, "You may not believe me, but the supplier we found this time has its own arsenal, with production and sales, a one-stop service."
Su Tianyu was stunned for a while: "Don't be ridiculous, do they have military production capacity?"
"Look, why would I lie to you?" Bai Hongbo replied with a blink of his eyes, "We have all been to the military factory! They can't make anything except slightly higher-end weapons, but they can even assemble armored vehicles, and they produce the parts themselves."
Su Tianyu was a little confused when he heard this. He had never been back to the Chinese District since he could remember, and the information he knew was all from what he saw on the news. So he couldn't imagine that the old triangle, which was still very poor and backward and had been ravaged by war for many years, could have developed to this scale decades ago.
Bai Hongbo lowered his voice and said to Su Tianyu and Yu Mingyuan: "I heard that the establishment of these military factories was done by the previous King of Pingxi, with the purpose of using the old triangle as an export port. And our current supplier seems to be related to the new King of Pingxi. He is a man with great connections... I am not lying at all. The villa they hosted us in even had a gold-plated toilet flush button...!"
“Haha.” Su Tianyu came back to his senses: “It seems that the information blockade of District 1 is done well. We who grew up here have no idea that the Old Triangle has developed to this point.”
Yu Mingyuan took a sip of wine, hugged his shoulders and said, "So, this new supplier's thighs are pretty thick."
"If I were You Yifan, I would immediately recognize the new supplier as my godfather." Bai Hongbo said shamelessly: "The production capacity is sufficient, the supply can be uninterrupted, and most importantly, all kinds of military supplies are of good quality and low price. If we lick the other side well, we can make money with our eyes closed."
Su Tianyu immediately scolded him upon hearing this: "Keep your voice down, there might be You Yifan's spies in this room."
"Even if You Yifan himself came today, I would still persuade him to do so. This opportunity is indeed good. As long as you want to do second-hand business of military supplies, then recognizing a godfather is the best way." Bai Hongbo curled his lips and said, "We are just too small, otherwise... I don't want to miss this opportunity to recognize my blood relationship. And let me tell you, there are many suppliers like the Old Triangle. Many large families are now able to supply on their own. But the one that You Yifan found should be among the top three in terms of comprehensive strength."
"Well, with our current size, we shouldn't even think about this kind of thing. Let's just do our job of threading the needle." Su Tianyu lit a cigarette and said, "As long as the deal with You Yifan goes through, we can be more comfortable in Zhanan Port in the future."
Everyone nodded slowly. Bai Hongbo took a sip of red wine and suddenly said, "Oh, by the way, this time the supplier brought a person in charge named Gui Mengjun, who is the person who has the final say in this family. Although we don't want to get involved in this business, I think it's okay to prepare the relationship in advance. Otherwise... tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, I will go and ask him out to see if he can come out and have a meal or something."
"Can you talk to him?"
"Didn't we go with You Yifan's people this time? I've had dinner with him a few times, and we flew back together, so it shouldn't be difficult to ask him out." Bai Hongbo said proudly, "After all, I'm pretty good at socializing!"
"Okay, then let's get together and chat. More friends mean more options." Yu Mingyuan replied immediately.
"Okay, I'll call him tonight." Bai Hongbo nodded and immediately asked Su Tianyu, "Hey, I heard that you became sworn brothers with extremists? Damn, how much fake wine did you drink?"
"… When Brother Hu and I became sworn brothers, I brought you along, and we drank blood wine while holding up your photo."
"Fuck you!" Bai Hongbo pointed at Su Tianyu and shouted, "For the stability and unity of Longcheng, report this guy immediately."
…
Two days later, around eight o'clock in the evening.
At the entrance of Tianfu Hotel in Longkou District, Su Miaomiao walked into the lobby hurriedly with the phone in hand and said, "Yes, I'm here. Which floor box are you in?"
"I'm in Room 402." Su Tiannan replied helplessly, "It's just a signature. Is there any need to be so anxious?"
"Hurry up and sign it, otherwise I won't be able to get anything done at the association tomorrow. Wait for me, I'm going upstairs."
After saying that, Su Miaomiao hung up the phone and walked towards the elevator.
“Bang!”
Just then, a group of people came towards them from the blind corner of the corridor. The leader was holding a phone. He didn't see Su Miaomiao for a moment and bumped into his side.
"Ouch, you better be careful, brother!" Su Miaomiao was almost hit by a concrete pillar and replied with a slight pain in her arm.
The leading man looked up and saw Su Miaomiao's youthful and beautiful face. He was stunned for a moment.
