Two days later, around eight o'clock in the morning.
In the Cabin Hotel on Xiaoshuangniu Island, the number of people from various regions coming to attend the exhibition has increased significantly. In the hotel lobby, restaurant, and guest room area, you can see many new faces who just arrived last night.
After nearly ten days of meetings, many alternative distributors have basically reached agreements with large and small channel dealers. They privately visited many military equipment factories and saw finished goods.
In the remaining two days, the participating distributors who have already gained an advantage only need to submit their final quotation to Taijia and then wait for news. Therefore, many financial and senior executives of the team only arrived last night, and these people are more or less confident of winning the bid.
In just less than ten days, rumors spread within the old triangle circle that the Taijia team responsible for contacting distributors at all levels had privately received at least tens of millions of cash rebates, and that the regional distributors who made it to the final runway must have all paid the money.
Some people also said that Gui Mengjun was too depressed. Originally, the Gui family should have taken the money, but he did not expect to encounter an attack at sea, which led to the dominance of the exhibition falling into the hands of the Tai family. So after the two sides gained and lost ground, many people said that the military equipment business in the future might be divided into two parts, and the Gui family would no longer be the leading player in the industry.
Some people even speculated that the attack on Guimeng Army was orchestrated by someone hired by the Tai family, and that something unexpected might happen on the last day of the exhibition.
In short, there are all kinds of rumors outside and they cannot be confirmed, but on the surface, the relationship between the Tai family and the Gui family has indeed reached a freezing point. The family members and company executives of both sides on Xiaoshuangniu Island have almost no communication, and even when they meet in public, they avoid each other.
The exhibition is about to end, and the seemingly joyful atmosphere on Xiaoshuangniu Island actually conceals many undercurrents.
…
Inside the Chinese restaurant of Cabin Hotel.
You Yifan, You Chengcheng and six or seven other people sat in the VIP box of V12 for dinner. The difference between this place and the hall outside was that buffet was provided outside, while breakfast was served a la carte in the box, and there were also dedicated service staff.
After everyone sat down, You Yifan whispered to his sister about the situation in Area 1.
In the past two days, after Jing Yan got the investigation materials given by You Chengcheng, he secretly sent people to fly to District 1 to prepare to take action against Yu Mingyuan's younger brother.
This "action" does not mean kidnapping to threaten Yu Mingyuan. Although this method is the most direct and effective, it may also bring the most serious consequences. Since Yu Jinrong's death, except for Yu Mingyuan, the rest of the Yu family has moved back to District 1, and An Qiqi's parents let them move into their own home to take care of the Yu family.
An's father is a high-ranking official in District 1, and An's mother is a well-known figure in Chinese politics. So even if you ask Jing Yan to carry out the kidnapping, he may not dare to do so, because they will not be able to end the matter once the hostages are taken away, and the hostages cannot be controlled for a long time. Whether they are killed or buried, released or imprisoned, there must be an end time.
Therefore, You Chengcheng proposed an idea to her elder brother and Jing Yan. She wanted to use the social connections of Yu Mingyuan's younger brother to set a trap for this kid. She would make him involved in a hard criminal case, and then use the connections of the You family to intervene, so as to directly lock the other party down.
While inquiring for information, You Chengcheng learned that after Yu Mingyuan's younger brother returned to District 1, he went to a well-known university for further studies under the arrangement of his family, so it might be easier to deal with him.
As long as Yu Mingyuan's brother gets into trouble in District 1 and the initiative of the case is in the hands of the You family, this can directly threaten Yu Mingyuan and force him to withdraw from the military supplies business. As long as the Yu family withdraws, the garrison in Longcheng will definitely be withdrawn as well. In the end, without the local military ties between Zhao Weihu and Gui Mengjun, they will naturally be unable to cooperate.
In the end, Gui Mengjun could neither regain control of the exhibition nor explain the matter of Xiaoping Xiwang, so he was naturally eliminated.
Honestly speaking, the plan proposed by You Chengcheng was not surprising and it would take some time to operate, but it was undoubtedly the most effective method because the person they wanted to target was Yu Mingyuan's younger brother and their blood was thicker than water. You Chengcheng didn't believe that the eldest brother would disregard his younger brother's safety for a business that hadn't even landed yet.
The woman named You Chengcheng appears to be very versatile and charming, but in fact, her style of doing things is more vicious and sinister than her brother's.
On the dining table.
You Chengcheng said softly, "The clues have been laid. Jing Yan paid to find two students, one boy and one girl. They are classmates of Yu Mingyuan's younger brother. They will have an event on campus tonight or tomorrow. At that time, the girl will approach and the boy will lead her into the trap."
"It doesn't matter if you give them a little more money, but you have to make these two keep their mouths shut." You Yifan whispered.
"Don't worry." You Chengcheng chuckled and replied, "Boss Jing is definitely willing to spend money on this kind of thing. After all, it's easier than fighting and killing."
"Well, let's eat." You Yifan nodded and didn't ask any further questions, because he knew his sister's character very well and knew that it was very safe for her to do such things. He didn't know how many middle and grassroots cadres in Longcheng were brought down in this way.
After chatting about business, everyone gathered around the dining table to eat a variety of breakfast.
“Squeak!”
The door opened, and a male waiter in work clothes came in from outside pushing a cart. He stood beside the dining table, opened the thermal cover, and started serving soup, rice porridge, and small bowls of wontons from inside.
Everyone was eating and chatting, and no one paid any attention to the waiter, who stood outside the dining table and placed each person's ordered soup on the table according to the order.
After a round, the male waiter came to You Yifan. He brought a bowl of wontons and said softly, "Sir, these are the wontons you ordered, right?"
You Yifan turned around and glanced at the other person: "Ah!"
"Please enjoy your meal!" The male waiter bent down and was about to put the wonton soup on the table, but it was not known whether he had not woken up yet or was too busy and anxious in the morning. In any case, his hands obviously shook a few times when he held the bowl, and some of the wonton soup spilled, right into You Yifan's hands.
"Ouch!" You Yifan pulled his hand back because of the hot soup, and immediately raised his head and said, "Watch it, brother!"
"Excuse me, sir!" The waiter hurriedly picked up the clean napkin on the cart and took the initiative to wipe the soup off You Yifan's hands.
You Yifan looked up and glanced at him, and saw that the waiter's temples and forehead were covered with sweat. He was obviously nervous and breathing rapidly when he wiped his hands.
You Yifan glanced at the man suspiciously: "You were the one in charge of my bag before, weren't you?"

Suburbs of Hanoi.
Su Tianyu, Gui Mengjun, Kong Zhenghui and others were sitting together, smoking silently.
