Within the company.
Yu Mingyuan sat on the chair, holding the phone in his right hand, frowning: "… Is it that Lei Zi outside Longcheng wants money, or is it that the Code Gang wants to hold me back?"
"In my opinion, the goods and people were not robbed by the code gang, but they really wanted to use this to hold us back." Tang Baiqing replied: "We have the channels, the goods can be dispersed quickly, and now the stalls have been set up. It's normal for these people who make a living by water to be jealous."
Yu Mingyuan was silent.
"Mingyuan, we have known each other for quite some time, so I will say something frankly." Tang Baiqing persuaded again: "It doesn't matter to us whether we use the Ma Gang or the Zang Gang as our support. We just have to share some profits. But in terms of rationality and convenience, the Ma Gang is more valuable than the three families of Su, Bai and Kong. They make a living by water, and they have great power near the port. Using them will reduce a lot of unnecessary trouble. For example, you are not doing a big business now, but if you really expand your business to a higher level, there will be more people who are jealous. When the customs and the robbers from outside the district come, can you send them away by relying on the three families of Su, Bai and Kong? But you can use the Ma Gang, because they are professionals in this field. Do you understand what I mean?"
Yu Mingyuan seemed to be thinking and still did not respond.
"Anyway, I have come to the end of what I want to say. If you are interested in talking, I will invite Xu Hu and Xu Er to come out and sit down and re-arrange the dishes."
"Okay, let me think about it."
"Don't worry, although the code gang is not willing to help us get the goods now, if we give them a heads up, the other side won't move people or goods for the time being." Tang Baiqing gave Yu Mingyuan a shot of prevention.
"Okay, I'll get back to you tomorrow."
"Okay, I'll wait for your call. Then we'll call everyone on the other side out and sit down and talk together."
"that's all."
After that, the two ended the call.
In the dimly lit office, Yu Mingyuan lit a cigarette, his face gloomy and his eyes deep.
Things have come to this point, with Yu Mingyuan's intelligence, he would never believe that the robbery had nothing to do with the Code Gang.
Obviously, the robbery was a card that the Ma Gang played first, with the purpose of turning Yu Mingyuan's army around. On the one hand, it was to tell him that they had power and dominance near the port, and on the other hand, they didn't want to have a falling out with Yu Mingyuan right away, so there was the saying that Lei Zi from outside the district robbed the goods.
So what role did Tang Baiqing, who had been acting as a messenger, play in this matter? Did he really know nothing about it before? Did he really consider the issue from his own perspective
The relationship between the coast guard and the port organization is like that between fish and water, so is this matter really that simple
Yu Mingyuan now had only two choices: First, kick out the three families of Su, Bai and Kong and recruit the Ma Gang. In this way, the goods should be returned soon, and there would be no storms on the sea in the future, so the business could continue. Second, he would not agree to the Ma Gang's conditions and continue to use the three families of Su, Bai and Kong. However, in this case, the goods would not be returned for the time being, the detained people would be in danger, and he might also offend Tang Baiqing. It would obviously not be so easy to purchase goods from Zhananhai in the future.
This was a multiple-choice question with an obvious bias. Yu Mingyuan felt inexplicably angry, but he couldn't think of a third possibility.
Feeling irritated, Yu Mingyuan put out his cigarette and prepared to leave the company.
“Boom boom!”
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
"Who is it?" Yu Mingyuan shouted.
The door opened, and Su Tianyu stepped in: "Brother Yuan!"
"Oh, Tianyu," Yu Mingyuan replied softly, "I was just about to leave."
"I came over to ask, have you found out about the goods?" Su Tianyu stepped forward and asked.
Yu Mingyuan licked his lips and did not tell Su Tianyu the truth. He just replied vaguely: "Tang Baiqing just called me. He said that the Code Gang has found some information and asked me not to worry."
"The other party has a demand, so the goods will definitely not be lost." Su Tianyu frowned and said, "But someone in my family has been detained, and I'm afraid something will happen to them."
"I'll urge Ma Bang again, don't worry, comfort your family. Don't worry, no matter if it means spending money or burning incense, our company will definitely get the person back." Yu Mingyuan patted Su Tianyu's shoulder.
Su Tianyu paused, reached into his trouser pocket and took out a folded A4 paper: "Brother Yuan, take a look at this."
"What?" Yu Mingyuan took the paper, spread it out and started reading.
Some data are listed on the A4 paper, as well as the names of supermarkets on various roads in Zhanan District.
Yu Mingyuan asked without quite understanding: "What does this data mean?"
"Recently, the three of us have been expanding new sales channels within our own circles." Su Tianyu replied softly: "The data listed above is the estimated increase in future goods, as well as the addresses and sizes of supermarkets and stores."
Yu Mingyuan looked at Su Tianyu in surprise: "... You... You are very meticulous!"
"Love what you do." Su Tianyu looked up at Yu Mingyuan and suddenly said inexplicably: "Brother Yuan, no matter how good the Code Gang is, it is not one of us!"
Yu Mingyuan was obviously stunned by this. He slowly closed the A4 paper and replied softly, "You think too much, Tianyu."
"Brother Yuan, please urge Tang Baiqing to find the person as soon as possible." Su Tianyu said in a low voice without any smile on his face, "If my family members don't come back within two days, then I don't need Tang Baiqing to look for them anymore."
"What do you want to do?"
"I personally think kidnapping and personal threats are the lowest means, because if you can do it, others can do it too." Su Tianyu said briefly, "Zhang Hao died because he worked for me. If anything happens to him because of this, I won't be able to explain to his family. So if Tang Baiqing can't be found, I'll do it myself."
"Can you find it?"
"... Maybe, haha!" Su Tianyu smiled.
Yu Mingyuan looked at him and nodded, without saying anything else.
"I'm leaving first, Brother Yuan." Su Tianyu said, turned around and walked out.
Yu Mingyuan looked at his back with a complicated look.
Su Tianyu pushed the door and left. Yu Mingyuan hugged his shoulders, thought for a few seconds, then quickly picked up his coat and left.
…
Near the pier.
Kong Zhenghui sat in the car, took out three thousand yuan from his bag, looked at a shifty man and said, "Tell me your fortune."
"What's that?" the other party asked.
"Let's settle the matter of the seven speedboats." Kong Zhenghui held a cigarette in his mouth, handed over the money and said, "I'll give you one night."
“… That’ll cost extra,” the other party replied.
