In the van, Zhao Fengnian could only continue to smile in response to Lu Tao's tough attitude: "Xiao Lu, I know you are angry with me because I can't contact you these days and you have thoughts in your mind, but I am here first. Let me tell you that I will not go back on what I promised you before, but let’s talk calmly first, okay?”
When Lu Tao heard this, he lit a cigarette and said nothing.
"You said before that you wanted to invest in the sand field, and you have also seen this sand field. Apart from the site and the sand washing machine, there is nothing, and a license is not worth much money! Its real value lies in the sand mining land! And the desilting procedure in my hand, although it can be used to mine sand, is actually not completely compliant!"
Zhao Fengnian paused for a moment: "That's what I think. During the recent period, I have been running around to make connections, trying to get a formal mining procedure back, complete the sand mining procedures, and tie the sand field and sand mining land together. Do you think it’s okay to apply for a new license and add you as a shareholder when the time comes?”
Lu Tao exhaled a puff of smoke: "Tell me the key points."
"You also know that things like running relationships cost money, and if I had money, I wouldn't be forced into debt by Li Jifeng! You want to join the stock, so that everyone can make a fortune together! Do you think this will work? Let's get you first I need to evacuate the people and let the battlefield resume operations, so that I can have money to smoothen the relationship! When the procedures are approved and we can make a profit, you can come in again!"
Zhao Fengnian added tentatively: "If you are worried, I can write an agreement with you now!"
"No, if I want to touch you, I definitely won't go through legal channels, so it doesn't matter whether I have this contract or not."
Lu Tao rejected Zhao Fengnian: "How long will it take you to run this thing?"
"I can't say for sure about this kind of thing, it could be as short as one or two months, or as long as three to five months, but I will definitely do it as soon as possible."
Zhao Fengnian patted the 100,000 in cash he brought and said, "You can take this money as pocket money first. It can be considered as compensation from me, okay?"
Lu Tao pondered for a moment and looked at Zhao Fengnian doubtfully: "Boss Zhao, are you trying to use this excuse to drag me down?"
Zhao Fengnian replied bitterly: "You have also seen that my battlefield is here. Even if I can hide, the industry cannot! Since the two of us have decided to cooperate, there should be at least the most basic trust, right?"
"Okay, I'll give you time."
Lu Tao heard this and said to Jin Rui outside the car: "Xiao Rui, tell our people to evacuate!"
Jin Rui raised his eyebrows when he heard Lu Tao's order: "Brother Tao?"
"Listen to me and get out!"
Lu Tao repeated the order and looked at Zhao Fengnian: "Old Zhao, I have already given you the face you deserve. I don't want to scare you, but I must remind you, don't force me to become the next Li Jifeng!"
"Don't worry, I know this well!"
Zhao Fengnian stood under the car with a smile: "We will communicate at any time about the progress on the battlefield."
Soon, Jin Rui's friends gathered together, got in the car and left.
In the van, Jin Rui held the steering wheel and said with an irritated expression: "Brother Tao, that old bastard Zhao Fengnian is just messing with you! Most of the sand quarries around Shencheng have no procedures, like him. There are dredging procedures, so it’s relatively formal! I think he just wants to send us away to delay time!"
Lu Tao was sitting in the passenger seat, looking at the street scene outside, and responded in a relaxed tone: "I know."
When Jin Rui heard this answer, he looked sideways at Lu Tao: "Since you know, why do we have to withdraw?"
"He has made no moves. The two sides are just talking on paper. I can't find a reason to attack him! Only when there is action on the battlefield and can cause substantial damage to him, can I have room to operate!"
Lu Tao responded with a smile: "Zhao Fengnian is not very courageous, but he is very greedy. If we don't force him into a dilemma, we will not get into the game! Wait a moment and bring a car of people back and secretly keep an eye on the battlefield. Let me see what kind of medicine Zhao Fengnian wants to sell in his gourd!"
…
Zhao family battlefield.
Zhao Tai saw the vans blocking the road evacuate and drove back to the factory: "Dad, did you take the people away?"
Zhao Fengnian stood in the cold wind and lit a cigarette: "These people in society have no brains. I sent him away with one hundred thousand yuan! Tell him that the battlefield needs to go through the formalities. Wait until the formalities are completed." Now, accept him as a shareholder again!"
"Did you agree to let him become a shareholder?"
Zhao Tai frowned: "Wouldn't this still be troublesome in the future?"
"I promised to let him buy shares after the formalities are completed, but I don't intend to go through the formalities at all. Why should he invest?"
Zhao Fengnian responded sinisterly: "As long as the supply from Heping can proceed smoothly, we can make a lot of money! Once we have money in hand, this matter will be much easier to handle."
Zhao Tai sniffed: "What do you want to do?"
"Spend a lot of money to find someone to take care of him! It's better to cut off the flesh for a while than to let people lie on him and drink blood!"
Zhao Fengnian waved his hand: "Hurry up and call our workers, and then contact the hook machine, loader and dump truck to start construction as soon as possible!"
Zhao Tai still felt that Zhao Fengnian's method was a bit risky: "Dad, the reason why Lu Tao is targeting our family is because you brought him in to deal with Li Jifeng! If you find someone to deal with Lu Tao, wouldn't we fall into an infinite loop? In my opinion, We might as well have a showdown with Lu Tao, give him a sum of money, and let him withdraw his shares!"
"I just gave Lu Tao 100,000 yuan, but he didn't even look at it, which shows that this person is more greedy than you and I thought! If we really let him get involved, I'm worried that one day the entire Zhao family battlefield will have the last name Lu!"
Zhao Fengnian grinded his teeth: "Let's delay the time first. Even if we really attract other people who are difficult to deal with in the future, the two of us can at least put the money in our pockets first, and we can take the worst outcome with us." Money goes away! If we break up with Lu Tao now, it will be a complete defeat, do you understand?"
Zhao Tai nodded clearly: "I understand."
Zhao Fengnian patted Zhao Tai on the shoulder: "Recruit manpower and start work!"
…
Two hours later, Jin Rui stood on the road leading to the battlefield, watching the excavator being pulled by the trailer, as well as the six trucks and two loaders following it, and quickly dialed Lu Tao's number: " Brother Tao, as soon as we left the battlefield, Zhao Fengnian’s battlefield started to use machinery, and there were six garbage trucks alone. It looks like it’s going to be a big job!”
In the hospital, Lu Tao sat in Guan Lei's ward and responded in a steady tone: "When Zhao Fengnian paid to send me away, I guessed that he had urgent work! Don't worry about anything, just let me go first. He is producing normally, and when he has invested almost all the expenses, we will choke his neck again!"
