In the training base, after Daxiong was eliminated in one round in front of his family and friends, he was somewhat depressed. He lowered his head and kept wiping the blood from his nose to hide his embarrassment.
"Hey, it's okay. I see you fought pretty well. You almost knocked the opponent down."
"Don't get angry. Although you lost all nine battles and it was a miserable situation, if you think about it carefully, the people fighting with you may have been training since they were five or six years old. It is normal for you to have a gap." Bai Hongbo patted the other's shoulder: "Don't get angry. You have a thick skin, and we have thick skins too. It's nothing."
“…!”
Seeing that Daxiong was quite disappointed, everyone tried to comfort him in a joking tone, and the slightly awkward atmosphere was overcome with a few words and a laugh.
Su Tianyu also changed the subject: "Do you have anything to do tomorrow?"
"That's all." Big Bear shook his head: "Three tryouts, then... we'll just have to wait for the coach to formulate a training plan."
"Okay, then we'll take you out for two days." Su Tianyu invited with a smile: "Let's go to the beach together tomorrow."
"Okay!" Big Bear nodded.
"Let's go and find a place to eat." Zhou Tonghui called out.
In this way, a group of people waited for Daxiong to change his clothes before leaving the boxing gym together.
…
At around four o'clock in the afternoon, at the Tongji Association headquarters in Zhanan District, Longcheng, Su Tiannan, Kong Zhenghui, Su Tianbei and others were moving with union members.
Since the business of military equipment and supplies had been negotiated, it was only a matter of time before the "official business" began. In addition, with the second round of investment from the Zhou, Kong, and Bai families, the financial situation of the association was no longer as tight as before. In order to maintain the appearance, Yu Mingyuan asked Kong Zhenghui to rent a large courtyard on Tufang Street for the office use of the association.
Inside the Su family's garbage dump, six or seven moving vehicles were parked on the side, and Su Tiannan and others were working busily.
“Buzz!”
Just then, an off-road vehicle drove in from outside and hurriedly stopped at the door of the main building. Then a fat man wearing a luxury T-shirt, carrying a leather bag, pushed the door and walked down.
The middle-aged man was fat and had a face full of flesh. He looked very gangster-like. After getting off the car, he led two young men to the main building entrance and asked, "Hey, are you moving?"
At the door, Su Tiannan turned around when he heard the voice. Seeing that the other person looked unfamiliar, he immediately asked, "Who are you looking for?"
"Tiannan? Haha, don't you recognize me?" The fat middle-aged man smiled and walked forward, stretched out his hand and said, "I'm Liu Xiaohai! Your brother's friend, we had dinner together before."
Su Tiannan thought about it carefully and said, "Oh, I remember it. One year on the third day of the Chinese New Year, we had dinner in a water town in the south of the Yangtze River."
"Yes, yes, haha, long time no see."
"Yeah, long time no see."
The two smiled and shook hands. Su Tiannan asked casually, "Brother Liu, are you here to see Tianbei?"
"Yes, I have something to discuss with him."
"Okay, okay." Su Tiannan turned around and shouted, "Tianbei, someone is looking for you!"
…
Ten minutes later, in the office upstairs.
Su Tianbei wiped his hands, took out a pack of good cigarettes from the drawer, and handed one to Liu Xiaohai: "Haha, you came at the right time. We just happened to be moving. The house is a mess. The teapot has been loaded into the car. Come on, have a cigarette. I'll treat you to dinner when we're done."
Liu Xiaohai took the cigarette, leaned forward to let Su Tianbei light it for him, then took a deep breath and replied: "It's okay, we are not outsiders, hehe."
Su Tianbei bent down and sat down, and asked casually: "Brother Liu came to see me, is there something wrong?"
"Something." Liu Xiaohai nodded with a smile: "I recently got a good job, and I thought of you right away."
"Haha, what kind of good life is this?" Su Tianbei asked.
"Hey, how many workers does your association have now?" Liu Xiaohai asked proactively.
Su Tianbei glanced at him and didn't tell him the truth: "There are more than 3,000 people, but most of them are from the sanitation department."
"There are quite a few people." Liu Xiaohai nodded and praised: "Brother, we haven't seen each other for a year or so. You are really getting better now. After all, you are the vice president of a union with several thousand members."
"Forget it, what vice president? I'm just doing something with my family and friends." Su Tianbei bared his teeth and replied, "It's just a small fight."
"If this is considered a small business, then there won't be any big companies in Zhannan." Liu Xiaohai said, flicking the ash from his cigarette, "Tianbei, I have a good job right now. If you have someone, we can try it together."
"What kind of job? Don't keep me in suspense."
"Have you heard of Baolong Group?" Liu Xiaohai asked.
"How could you not have heard of this? It's one of the top five largest groups in Dragon City in terms of capital size." Su Tianbei replied, "What's wrong?"
"Baolong's upstream investor is the Michael Group in District 1." Liu Xiaohai whispered, "They have recently expanded their mining business and are building a base in the mountainous area south of Longcheng. They are short of workers now, so I came to ask you if you are interested in working with them. The price they offer is not low."
Su Tianbei paused and asked, "Is it a large-scale recruitment or a small-scale one?"
"It must be a small-scale operation, otherwise why would I need to find you?" Liu Xiaohai said softly, "They are a large group, and they don't want to recruit people directly from the society, because if they do that, the quality of the workers will be uneven, and without a top-level team, it will be difficult to manage. So they prefer to find workers with unions and groups, so that it is more convenient to connect with them."
"Oh, is that so?" Su Tianbei asked with great interest, "How many people do you need?"
"If you want to do it, I'll give you a quota of 800 people." Liu Xiaohai replied softly, "Let's be frank. I've introduced the job, and you just need to give me a reward of 200,000 yuan, because I also need to rely on my connections to get people in."
"Eight hundred places?" Su Tianbei was a little surprised.
"Yes, eight hundred people." Liu Xiaohai nodded: "I roughly calculated that after completing this order, you can make at least two or three hundred profits. The specific amount depends on how much you pay the workers."
"Ah, I see."
"Brother, I'm not lying to you. This position is very limited. I heard that the Coders Association, Changqing Company, and the group of people in Shanghai are all applying for it now." Liu Xiaohai said softly, "Please think about it and write back to me as soon as possible."
"Okay." Su Tianbei looked down at his watch and said, "Let's go and have a meal."
"No, no." Liu Xiaohai stood up and said, "I still have business to attend to. We'll meet again when we have time in the next two days. Please discuss this with the management of the association as soon as possible and just send me a letter."
"Okay!" Su Tianbei nodded.
…
Longcheng Police Station, inside the criminal detention center.
Lu Feng was picking his toes, holding the phone in the cell, yawning and asking, "How many people are there?"
"You have 600 quotas. What do you think? Do you want to do it?"
"Just do it if there's money to be made. You can talk to them. I'll be out next week." Lu Feng replied casually, "Oh, by the way, I've finished reading the Diamond Sutra. Please send me a book on becoming an immortal... I'm too bored to be idle."
