Although the drinking party that day achieved good results, everyone was unfamiliar with each other, and some of them still had grudges, so everyone dispersed on their own after discussing cooperation matters.
Lu Tao stood in front of the restaurant. After sending everyone away, he smiled at Zhao Fengnian beside him: "Don't you have anything you want to say to me?"
"We are grasshoppers on a rope. On this occasion today, you represent the Zhao family battlefield. If I express an opinion, I will cause trouble for you!"
Although Zhao Fengnian was worried, his attitude was very clear: "There is no turning back. Now that the matter has been decided, I seem to have no other choice but to fully support you."
Lu Tao knew what Zhao Fengnian wanted, and promised with a smile: "Don't worry, give me three years, and your son will definitely drive a sports car."
Zhao Fengnian smiled silently: "You little bastard, if you don't die in some girl's crotch one day, I'll burn incense! Let's go back to the battlefield. Let's have some tea and wake up. I'll talk to you by the way." Something about coming down.”
The two walked down the steps while talking and drove Zhao Tai's Audi A4. Upon seeing this, Jin Rui, who was acting as the driver, also got out of the car and opened the door.
Just as Lu Tao was about to board the car, a Honda Accord drove into the courtyard and honked its horn.
Zhao Fengnian turned around and saw the old man who had opposed Lu Tao at the dinner table, pushed the door and got out of the car, frowned and said, "Why is this old man here?"
At the dinner table, Lu Tao got acquainted with everyone and found out that the old man's name was Qin Junxia, a retired village party secretary from Li Xiang's side. When he saw the other party coming, he greeted him with a smile: "Qin Junxia, you Why are you back again? Did you leave something behind?"
"Haha, I haven't been a village official for many years. Don't call me that. I'm more than twenty years older than you. You won't suffer any disadvantage if you call me Uncle Sheng."
Qin Junxia walked to Lu Tao with a smile on his face: "Xiao Lu, I came here specifically to see you. Can I borrow you for a few minutes so we can chat?"
Lu Tao pointed at the restaurant: "Okay, let's talk about it in the room, stir-fry two dishes and boil a pot of wine!"
"No, it's just a matter of a few words. Let's talk in my car."
Qin Junxia smiled at Zhao Fengnian: "Old Zhao, I'll spare you a few minutes!"
Zhao Fengnian waved his hand: "It's okay, you guys can chat! I drank a little too much at night, so I just took a rest in the car!"
Seeing Qin Junxia acting uncharacteristically, Lu Tao felt a little unsure, but he still sat in the passenger seat of the Accord.
After Qin Junxia got in the car, he took out two soft Chinese cigarettes wrapped in plastic bags at his feet and handed them to Lu Tao: "Xiao Lu, take this cigarette and smoke it! I don't know what you like to smoke. I just went out specially to bought!"
When Lu Tao saw Qin Junxia's actions, although he felt even more confused, he said with a joking tone on his face: "Uncle Qin, let's just chat, but I promised you in advance that I am not a materialistic person. If you have anything to do with me, I must reject the idea, because I sit on the bench every day in prison and my hemorrhoids are quite serious!"
Qin Junxiao replied with an old heart: "You are really flattering me by saying that! To tell you the truth, I stopped working very well two years ago. Now I have to take medicine to wear my shoes when I go out! At my age , every time I do it it’s a countdown, I can never give you such a precious thing!”
"Haha! Uncle Qin, your current attitude really confuses me."
Lu Tao looked at Qin Junxia, who was completely different from the other two, and handed over a cigarette: "Since you asked me to call you uncle, don't treat me like a stupid boy. If you have any demands, you can just tell me. I will try my best to solve it. Even if you can't do it, I can give you some advice."
"My attitude was not good before, but it was not because of you! You have also seen that I am getting older. If I don't show a bad temper, then people outside will bully me to death, right?"
Qin Junxia and Lu Tao were like relatives they had not seen for many years. They said naturally: "I came to see you for something. Regarding the integration of the battlefield, I want to give you some advice!"
"You're teaching me this trick for nothing, right?"
Lu Tao looked at the old fox in front of him and blinked connotatively: "Want some tuition?"
Qin Junxia smiled reservedly: "I agreed to cooperate with you in order to make more money. My battlefield is not large, so it would be meaningless for you to take away half of my overflow profits. Why not just let me grow wildly!"
"The price is not low!"
When Lu Tao heard that Qin Junxia didn't want to hand over the proposal, he narrowed his eyes slightly: "This matter is not without discussion, but first we have to see whether the information you provide is worth the price."
"Okay, let's talk."
Qin Junxia lowered the car window a crack, opened the aluminum cigarette case, took out a hand-rolled dry cigarette, lit one, and said: "There are a total of fourteen battlefields in Dongling and Shenbei districts, and three of them have no formalities." , it’s easy to deal with them. As long as the regular battlefields are unified, whether they stop business or join them, it’s all a matter of one sentence. The difficulty lies in the remaining four battlefields that have procedures.”
"Um!"
Lu Tao nodded slightly and signaled Qin Junxia to continue speaking.
"Among these four battlefields, Old Chen from Shenbei didn't come because he had a personal feud with another boss at the table today. If you want him to join, you can go over and chat alone. All you need to do is break up with him and crush him. , telling him that if he doesn’t join, he will be trampled to death by his enemies, and he can think clearly.”
Qin Junxia paused for a moment: "Among the other three battlefields, as long as you can figure out Yao Xiaowen, the other two will definitely come to you for talks."
Lu Tao continued to ask: "Why?"
Qin Junxia gave up and said: "Currently, the area with the largest river sand production in the entire Shen City is the Soviet Area! But do you know why Wu Yushu didn't reach out there, and none of the battlefields in the Soviet Area has entered the Sand and Gravel Association?"
Although Lu Tao has been thinking about the battlefield recently, he doesn't know much about this industry. Although Zhao Fengnian is in the industry, he rarely interacts with these people, otherwise he would not be stupid enough to sell sand to Wu Yushu's territory.
Qin Junxia didn't wait for Lu Tao to ask, and continued: "When Wu Yushu established the Sand and Gravel Association, there was actually someone competing with him. This person's name is Li Chengkai. He has the final say in the current gravel market in the Soviet Area."
"I've met Li Chengkai before, but I'm not familiar with him. I really don't know what kind of business he is in."
Lu Tao thought about Qin Junxia's words: "What is his relationship with Yao Xiaowen?"
"I don't know, but as far as I know, Li Chengkai does not sell sand locally, but transports it all to Yingkou and sells it to other places by sea! One-third of the amount of sand from Yao Xiaowen's battlefield will be distributed with Li Chengkai out of town and the rest sold locally.”
Qin Junxia looked at Lu Tao: "The other two battlefields I mentioned are all following Yao Xiaowen. If you don't figure out their small group, you can't unify the price!"
