In a blink of an eye, the day of negotiation with the Green Snake Gang came.
Before this, Jing Yue had collected some information from various places and was barely confident.
I can only say that the Green Snake Gang did a really good job.
It is estimated that after calculating the income of the Shen family's half of the street, this is a soup that I don't want to leave anyone to drink.
In a sense, part of the Shen family's money is Jing Yue's money.
Buying medicine.
If it were in Huangliucheng in the past, the Green Snake Gang's behavior would involve his interests, and the gang leader would be tricked to death by him several times.
But now he is a countryman from out of town, and he is just a "consultant". All he can do is give some suggestions.
But who would have expected that on this day, the old housekeeper would rush over and tell him that the third young master had something to do and could not come, and that he would be responsible for the negotiation.
The old housekeeper repeatedly said that the Shen family's bottom line was three hundred taels of silver per month, which was equal to thirty-seven points with the Green Snake Gang.
The Shen family, which owns half the street, gets 30%, and the gang gets 70%. This is not a lack of sincerity, and a very low-key attitude.
It can be said that the third young master Shen Yun gave Jing Yue a not difficult job.
That's not even possible, it's just insulting.
But even so, the old housekeeper still kept emphasizing: "The third young master said that the leader of the Green Snake Gang has always been unwilling to make progress. If the talks are not successful, the talks will not be successful. Just be neither humble nor overbearing. Pay attention to safety."
Jing Yue patted the old housekeeper on the shoulder and said, "I understand, but since I am going to negotiate on behalf of the Shen family, you always have to send two people to follow me, and the scene must be acceptable."
Going alone is too shabby.
"This is natural. The young master has already explained it."
So a moment later, standing in front of Jing Yue were the prostitute Wang Yu and the gambling dog Zhao Buqian.
Wang Yu said in surprise: "Just the three of us are going to talk? That's nonsense. The leader of the Green Snake Gang, Ax, is a famously ruthless character. Can he listen to us?"
Zhao Buqian was more calm and said: "It seems that the Shen family's food is not delicious. This is because the third young master wants to beat us.
But since he said that we can't reach an agreement, let's forget it, then we can just try to express our feelings. He spent the whole day eating and drinking for free, taking money from others and doing nothing. After being an old friend, I honestly feel a little sorry. "
Jing Yue was a little surprised and said to himself, "Do you still know how to feel sorry?"
On the way, it could be seen that "Wind Chasing Knife" Wang Yu was a little scared and looked uneasy walking behind.
Jing Yue knew that he had had a small conflict with the Green Snake Gang. It was said that he was almost scared to death at the time, and he probably had some psychological shadow.
The Green Snake Gang is based in Huayu Lane in the west of the city.
The name of this alley is quite poetic, but inside it is a mixed bag of fish and dragons, and it is noisy.
There were smokers basking in the sun on the roadside with their feet clasped, hawkers selling food smelling of sweat, foot traders with tired faces, and of course more gamblers who kept coming in and out of gambling houses.
According to Jing Yue's limited knowledge, the gambling house is one of the most important businesses of the Green Snake Gang.
When he got here, Zhao Buqian couldn't help rubbing his hands behind him, and someone even greeted him on the way.
Jing Yue asked: "Do you know the seniors here well?"
Zhao Buqian replied: "I just come here to play occasionally."
Jing Yue, Wang Yu, and Zhao Buqian were actually unfamiliar with each other, and most of their limited interactions were spent discussing borrowing money.
For a long time, Wang Yu and Zhao Buqian thought that Jing Yue was a sick man just like them.
Sick Yangzi is usually mixed up with words like weakness and cowardice, which is why Wang Yu and Zhao Buqian dared to come to Jing Yue to borrow money even though they were not familiar with each other.
But during this period, the two found that each other had changed.
The change is not only about improving the complexion, but also the temperament.
Along the way, Jing Yue was still very polite to them, just like when he borrowed money before, but involuntarily, the two of them walked behind him.
The two couldn't help but have the illusion that Jing Yue was really their leader, and they were the thugs following behind.
This feeling is a bit strange.
It wasn't until they pushed open the door to the Green Snake Gang's headquarters and followed Jing Yue into the hall that they gradually understood why they felt this way.
Inside the gate is a group of Green Snake Gang members.
They were practicing with their upper bodies bare, and the sweat mixed with the green snake tattoos on their bodies made them look very fierce.
Especially this group of people all stared at the three of them at once. Even Zhao Buqian, who was considered a veteran, had his heart beat faster and his breathing became more rapid.
Not to mention Wang Yu.
But from beginning to end, Jing Yue looked calm, as if he was at home.
It was this calmness that made Jingyue look like he was in charge and they were the thugs.
The Green Snake Gang's station is not small, and the courtyard with four entrances and exits looks quite spacious.
Jing Yue admired the gang's ability to mix to such an extent, and at the same time thought that the Green Snake Gang was very lucky.
In the small place of Huangliucheng, there are many bastards in Chi Qian, and many gangs have beaten them to death just for a few taels of silver and to give the hall a few more mud-tile houses.
And here...
In the spacious hall, the leader of the Green Snake Gang, Ax, was sitting on the main seat, chewing betel nut, with a colorful parrot with shiny fur on his shoulder.
His body was thin, his cheeks were sunken, and his eyes were cold. He looked like a poisonous snake lurking there, very dangerous.
It is generally accepted in Bianzhou City that the leader of the Green Snake Gang's ax is very dangerous, because many people who stand in his way, whether inside or outside the gang, have been chopped into pieces by him like firewood.
At this time, a subordinate bowed and said a few words to him and the deputy gang leader Chen Ru, who was dressed in green.
Ax continued to chew betel nut, his expression unchanged.
Chen Ru, the deputy gang leader, said: "If the young master of the Shen family doesn't come in person, he instead invites a boy from the country to visit. Doesn't he know the etiquette well?"
Ax smiled, showing his teeth that were blackened from chewing betel nut for a long time, and said: "Let them in."
As he spoke, he touched the fat parrot on his shoulder.
The ax naturally knows how much Shen Yun, the third young master of the Shen family, weighs and is good at doing business, and then that's all.
In the past, when Mr. Shen was prosperous, he would not dare to mess with local snakes like them who hid in mud pits, ate mud, and occasionally ate flesh and blood.
But things are different now. Once Mr. Shen leaves, leaving behind a Mrs. Shen and a pair of young masters and young ladies who have not grown up, it will be difficult after all.
He knew that the third young master Shen Yun was afraid of him, but he didn't expect that he would be so afraid that he didn't want to see him.
At this time, Jing Yue had already walked in with Wang Yu and Zhao Buqian.
He was not polite and sat down on the chair near the axe. Involuntarily, Wang Yu and Zhao Buqian stood behind him.
After a moment, the two of them came to their senses and said secretly: "Is this really a subordinate?"
But the next moment, when the ax looked over, Wang Yu felt as if he was being stared at by a poisonous snake, and he couldn't help but panic.
Jing Yue was not affected in any way and said straight to the point: "My name is Jing Yue. I have been entrusted by the third young master to discuss the income of the street in Shen Mansion."
Deputy gang leader Chen Ru narrowed his eyes and mocked: "Why do you represent the Shen family?"
Jing Yue didn't look at him, but looked directly at the axe, and said, "Gang leader, the Shen family's bottom line is three hundred taels."
When Chen Ru questioned whether he could represent the Shen family, he directly ignored Chen Ru, the deputy gang leader who could not represent the Green Snake Gang, and gave him a firm response.
Chen Ru narrowed his eyes even more.
Ax was still chewing betel nut and asked calmly: "Young Master, have you ever been around before?"
Jing Yue replied: "Let's just forget it."
"Who is that young master from?"
Jing Yue said calmly: "Huangliu Town."
Ax continued: "It sounds very far away. Since you have been around, you should know the principles of strong dragons and local snakes. Why do we have to receive a hundred taels less for no reason?"
Jing Yue looked at him without any aversion in his eyes, and replied: "Because your gang collected too much. Three hundred taels is a lot, and a business that doesn't make any money for one party will not last long."
Ax laughed and replied: "I just like your business that makes no profit at all but must last for a long time."
Jing Yue also smiled and said, "Then we can't reach an agreement."
Ax walked over, approached Jing Yue, and said gloomily: "Mr. Jing, since you have been around before, you naturally know how to solve the problem if you can't reach an agreement?"
Jing Yue nodded and said: "The place where birds don't lay eggs in Huangliu City is very different from Bianzhou City, but some rules and principles should be the same. I know what to do."
"That's good, let's see the guests off."
Ax stood up straight and said.
Jing Yue stood up and left with the people without any hesitation...
Of course he knew how to solve the problem after negotiations failed.
If we were in Huangliucheng, if we couldn't reach an agreement, we should cut him off until he could reach an agreement, but this was Bianzhou after all, not like the countryside.
Theoretically, this place is more prosperous, so he should be gentler?
