8:30 p.m.
In a well-known barbecue restaurant in Wangjia Town, the Zhao family, father and son, Lu Tao and Jin Rui sat in a box together.
Zhao Fengnian looked at his son's swollen cheeks and raised a glass of wine to Lu Tao: "Xiao Lu, I have suffered too much in the first half of my life. I am really afraid of poverty. I have too much market arrogance and I don't have enough arrogance to do things! Although We have had some unpleasantness between us, but the ending is good, and we don’t know each other even if we don’t fight! Since you have bought a stake in the Zhao Family Battlefield, let’s work together to get the deal done!”
"I was hanging out in society when I was a teenager, and I saw a lot of all kinds of gangsters. I know why you are disgusted with me!"
Lu Tao saw that Zhao Fengnian finally spoke a human word and raised his glass: "You are right. Since we have chosen to cooperate, we should be honest with each other! I know what you are worried about, and I will give you a guarantee here. , I am not the local ruffian you think of me. I will not take over others in management, and I will only take the money I deserve when it comes to profit distribution!"
"Since I was discharged from the army, many gangsters have come to my house to cause trouble in the past few years. To be honest, when we first met, I was annoyed by you!"
Seeing this, Zhao Tai also raised his glass to Lu Tao: "Through these recent events, I do realize that if the battlefield wants to continue to operate, it does need someone like you! If our positions are reversed, only It is absolutely impossible for me to lead people out on the Longde battlefield by myself! Although the way you bought shares is a bit confusing, I admire your courage. "
Lu Tao smiled and said: "Give me 50% of the shares in exchange for a larger market. If you calculate the account carefully, you two will not lose!"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Fengnian looked at Lu Tao expectantly: "Xiao Lu, are you really sure about the integration of the Tangling sand and gravel market?"
"In Shencheng's ten districts and two counties, the markets in five districts in the city have now been occupied by the Sand and Gravel Association. In the other districts, Yuhong is Wu Yushu's own territory. There are more battlefields in the Soviet District than in Dongling. This We can’t win even two areas!
Among the remaining areas, only Shenbei, adjacent to Dongling, is a blank market, and there are only two or three sand farms. The combined area of these two districts is larger than the combined area of the Old Five Districts, and they are also being developed vigorously! "
Lu Tao introduced in a gentle voice: "It is impossible to swallow up the sand and gravel business in these two districts with Zhaojia Sandfield alone, but we cannot let the Sand and Gravel Association come in either! I am going to use Zhaojia Sandfield's Taking the lead in name, we have joined forces with the owners of the sand pits in Dongling and Shenbei to form an interest alliance! Only by forming a scale can we have the opportunity to compete with the Sand and Gravel Association and look for opportunities to enter the Old Fifth District!"
Zhao Tai's eyes lit up: "Are you still planning to go to the city to fight Wu Yushu?"
"Those who don't think about the overall situation are not enough to think about a region. The construction site is not about harvesting crops. After one crop is harvested, there will be another crop! The market in the sand and gravel industry is so big. If Wu Yushu wants to maintain prosperity, he must continue to expand. We will not enter the market. Guilt will be swallowed up by him sooner or later! Any industry has one thing in common, if you want to be full, you must become bigger and stronger!"
Lu Tao paused for a moment: "Of course, these are just my assumptions at the moment. What we need to do now is to protect ourselves. We must first hold the markets of Shenbei and Dongling in our hands. Only by forming a large enough force, Wu can Yushu will only be afraid when it wants to eat us!"
After listening to Lu Tao's introduction, Zhao Fengnian couldn't help but get excited: "You told me before that you don't know how to do business, but now it seems that you have a better mind than both of us! Tell me, what happens next? Whatever you do, I will fully cooperate with you!"
Lu Tao picked up the wine glass: "In the past few days, you can choose a time to have a meal with the battlefield owners from these two districts, and say that you have business to discuss. Let's all sit together and talk. What happens next will depend on It depends on their attitude before we can continue.”
"..."
An hour later, after the drinking party ended, Lu Tao went out and was about to board the car to leave. Zhao Tai suddenly chased him out and got into Lu Tao's car: "Where are you going, my brother Tao?"
Lu Tao was slightly surprised when he saw Zhao Tai boarding the car: "My brother is hospitalized in the Soviet Area. I have to go and take care of him. Do you have anything else?"
Zhao Tai grinned in amusement: "Haha, my dad was here just now and I didn't have much fun drinking. Can we go somewhere else and have some drinks?"
Lu Tao looked at Zhao Tai's swollen cheeks and was speechless: "You are like this, why are you still drinking?"
Zhao Tai smiled freely: "Haha, I have a problem. If I want to drink wine and have fun, I must be around the opposite sex! I have booked a place, let's go over and have fun for a while!"
Lu Tao had just bought a stake in the battlefield, and when faced with Zhao Tai's invitation, he couldn't refuse it. He could only nod: "Okay, I'll arrange it for you tonight."
"Fuck, that's nonsense. I asked you to drink, how can I let you pay the bill?"
Zhao Tai said carelessly to Jin Rui who was driving: "Brother, let's go to Jinfeng Street and light up the KTV!"
"Did you get drunk from drinking this little wine? Are you ready to set fire to it before you even have time to play?"
Jin Rui was a little confused: "Arson is a serious crime. Why don't you drink some alcohol and risk your life?"
Zhao Tai rolled his eyes and urged: "Get out of here! It's so hard for me to light a cigarette, so I'll set it on fire to dry the chicken feathers! That karaoke bar is called Light Up! Open it quickly. If we get there late, all the good girls will be killed." Let’s finish the selection!”
When Jin Rui heard this name, he put the car into gear speechlessly: "What the hell is this name? The whole karaoke hall is called Litang. If you don't know, you think you are going to the cremation ground!"
Ten minutes later, Jin Rui parked the car on Jinfeng Street. From the distance between Guan Lei and the karaoke bar, almost every girl at the entrance of the karaoke bar would greet him from afar.
Lu Tao saw Zhao Tai's exposure like a star on the street, and said with a smile: "It seems that you are quite influential here!"
Zhao Tai smiled proudly: "I can't talk about influence, but if I travel for half a year, at least half of the karaoke bars on this street will be bad. It is no exaggeration to say that at least two-thirds of the money I have earned in the past few years. They're all left on this street! Let me tell you this, you can find any girl on this street and touch her butt, and I will know who she is just by smelling your hand!"
Lu Tao was speechless at once: "Your father is such a frugal man. He knows that you spend so much money, so he shouldn't break your legs?"
Zhao Tai replied nonchalantly: "The reason why my dad works so hard is just to let me live a good life. If I live as hard as he did when he was young, what's the point of our hard work?" Woolen cloth?"
While a few people were chatting, they walked into the Li Dian KTV. When the proprietress behind the bar saw this, she immediately came out and said, "Hey, Xiaotai, you haven't been here to take care of my business for a while. Who has been raped by someone recently?" Is the girl hooked?"
"Snapped!"
Zhao Tai stretched out his hand and slapped the landlady on the butt: "It's no use, please open the biggest private room for me. The girl is as dense as a sardine can and the coverage rate of her clothes is more than 30%." Yes, I don’t want any of them!”
Lu Tao looked at Zhao Tai's back and was speechless again.
It seems that this guy is not only a tough guy, but also a spendthrift.
