After Lu Tao finished speaking, everyone else at the dinner table turned their attention to him.
A battlefield owner who had dealt with Zhao Fengnian before couldn't help but ask: "You said our jobs are about to be ruined. What do you mean?"
"Everyone here relies on sand to make a living. I guess everyone is familiar with the name Wu Yushu, right?"
Lu Tao looked around and saw that no one raised any objections, and continued: "A few days ago, Boss Zhao's son Zhao Tai was kidnapped by Wu Yushu and was seriously injured. Because of this, he did not attend this occasion today."
The old man on the right asked: "What you said is just destroying your job. Does it have anything to do with us?"
"When doing business, the first thing is to keep an eye on the six directions and be prepared for danger in times of crisis! We make money by relying on the market. If our share is completely eaten up by others, can you deposit the sand in the bank and withdraw real money?"
Lu Tao responded calmly: "The reason why Zhao Tai was arrested was because Boss Zhao contacted the business of Lao Fifth District, but Wu Yushu did not let him enter the market..."
Another person said speechlessly: "Fuck, aren't you talking nonsense? Those who run sandfields, who don't know that the five districts in the city are the handicap of the Sand and Gravel Association, you peed in a human pot, do you still blame them for flicking your basket?" "
"I want to ask, who decided this handicap? Why did they divide the Laowu District into their own territory and we can't enter this area? What if one day, they also divide Shenbei and Tangling into Sarawak The territory of the Stone Association, what should we do? Sell sand to Xinmin and Faku? Or go further, out of the market? Out of the province?"
Lu Tao retorted forcefully: "Do you know what conditions Wu Yushu put forward when he detained Boss Zhao? He gave the Zhao family the qualification to enter the Old Fifth District, but the condition was to hand over 70% of the shares and let Old Zhao Go to and from get out of class in the supervisor’s position!”
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a burst of whispering at the dinner table.
Lu Tao didn't wait for anyone to ask questions, then continued: "I want to tell you something else. When Zhao Tai was detained, he witnessed members of the Sand and Gravel Association having internal strife because of robbing business! This shows that their association has The market is already saturated. If you want to keep everyone fed, you must expand this so-called market! In Shencheng today, apart from the Old Fifth District, where is the fastest growing place?"
"You mean, the Sand and Gravel Association is going to enter Shenbei and Tangling?"
A middle-aged man in a suit sat up straight: "You say that, do you have any evidence?"
Lu Tao sat down and asked with a smile: "Do you think this kind of thing still needs evidence? Let's assume that if Lao Zhao really agreed to Wu Yushu's conditions and bought shares in the Sand and Gravel Association, you say this is the entry of the Zhao family Has the Old Fifth District or the Sand and Gravel Association entered Tanglin?"
After hearing Lu Tao's words, the middle-aged man was silent for a few seconds and then picked up the cigarette case on the table: "I have also heard about the internal affairs of the Sand and Gravel Association. Not long ago, there was a battlefield owner in the Soviet District. In order to get into the Old Fifth District, I had enough money to eat, and I found a lot of connections, but I still couldn’t successfully join the Sand and Gravel Association.”
The person next to him looked at the middle-aged man: "Why?"
"Wu Yushu's original intention to establish this sand and gravel association was to hold up the price, use others to protect the market, and benefit himself. Therefore, he did not take the members' shares and only asked them to pay some symbolic dues! The territory of these members is fixed. Yes, only Wu Yushu can give away sand at will."
The middle-aged man exhaled a puff of smoke: "Since the land is divided, it will naturally be thin or thick. There may be seven or eight new buildings popping up in a certain area a year. There are also some old towns with good locations that no one can afford to demolish. Three There has been no movement for five months! They are all members of the association. Some of them have not worked for half a year. How can they feel balanced when they see others eating half full and half full? With all of them feeling dissatisfied internally, How can we let outsiders in again?"
"This elder brother is a discerning person and sees things thoroughly."
Lu Tao waited for the middle-aged man to finish speaking and then continued the conversation: "Wu Yushu, the Sand and Gravel Association, is already under great internal pressure. There are only two ways to balance the dissatisfaction among insiders. First, Tell them there are wolves outside and they must unite internally! Second, tell them there are sheep outside and they can eat meat if they rush out! I would like to ask you, to Wu Yushu, are you a wolf or a sheep?"
The old man who was looking for trouble before thought about it for a while, and his face became increasingly ugly: "You called me, but you told me that I would see benefits, so I came here! But now, how come there is no good news at all?"
"Then there's good news."
Lu Tao asked with a smile: "I have made it clear to everyone what should be said. Now it depends on how you choose, whether you want to be a wolf or a sheep."
The middle-aged man put out his cigarette and said, "How about being a wolf? What about being a sheep?"
"Being wolves, we must unite as one and win the markets in these two districts. Although this will offend the Sand and Gravel Association, we have a large number of people. It will be difficult for them to chew this bone, and both sides will have time to see each other!"
Lu Tao paused for a moment: "Being Sheep, let's go our separate ways after this meal. Just treat me as a fart. Let's do whatever we want in the future. We'll wait to be defeated one by one and lie at home watching others make money."
Hearing this, a young man at the table who had never spoken a word looked at Lu Tao with sinister eyes: "Then what do you mean? I also want to learn from Yushu Wu, set up some kind of association, and then divide the two districts into territories. Are we locked in a dog cage too?”
A strong man shouted: "Fucking fart! My battlefield is the largest in Shenbei. It is absolutely impossible for me to vomit in the market!"
Another person immediately choked: "Fuck you! You've been trying to steal business from my family for more than a day or two. You're a fucking idiot!"
The strong man stood up and grabbed the wine bottle: "Fuck your mother! Do you want to do it?"
"You two, if you are arguing here, there will be no result! I said, if we fight among ourselves, everyone will be a sheep. Even if you win all the markets in Shenbei in the end, you can single-handedly defeat Wu Yushu and the others. ?"
Lu Tao reached out and knocked on the table: "No matter how powerful an individual is, he is nothing more than a fat sheep."
The middle-aged man in a suit also persuaded: "Since Lao Zhao called everyone here and said it was profitable, let's calm down and listen first! I think Lu Tao's words are quite reasonable. If we want to eat this bowl for a long time, We must prepare for a rainy day.”
Seeing that the middle-aged man was speaking for him, Lu Tao nodded to the other party, and then comforted the two people who were arguing: "Don't worry, even if we join forces, the original business method will not change. I just want the people of the Sand and Gravel Association to know , we are not a piece of loose sand in their eyes!"
