Regarding Qin Junxia's words, Lu Tao was skeptical: "You said that Yao Xiaowen has a small team in his hands. I believe this. Since they have their own profit channels, it is understandable that they do not contact me! But I ask for a raise Price is something that benefits everyone, so there’s no reason for him to disagree?”
"Before today's dinner, the three battlefields headed by Yao Xiaowen were the only interest groups in the two districts. In this fragmented situation, Yao Xiaowen had the right to speak! In the past, the excess production capacity of Li Chengkai's side would be digested in the Soviet District , and the excess will be sold to Dongling through Yao Xiaowen.
They operate sand fields in a gray area. Not only do they have their own sand mining sites, but they also mine sand illegally. This kind of thing requires quick solutions. They usually excavate a large amount of river sand in a short period of time. After processing, if there is no Out-of-town orders will be sold locally at low prices to save storage costs! The cost of illegal mining is so low that it is negligible, so every time they dump it, the price is much lower than ours! "
Qin Junxia said slowly: "If you ask for a unified price, it will inevitably lead to a balance between sales in the two districts. If Yao Xiaowen agrees to your conditions, they will lose the low-price advantage of illegally mining river sand, and they will have to find a place to carry out the operation." Storage, this is a loss-making business for him! What’s more, Li Chengkai is standing behind him, how can he get on your ship again? "
Lu Tao was thoughtful.
"Unless Yao Xiaowen's matter is resolved, unified selling price will be empty talk! Why hasn't Wu Yushu extended his hand outside the old fifth district? It's also because he has already taken away the market of the five districts in the city from Li Chengkai and doesn't want to go further. Let’s break up! And Li Chengkai focuses on overseas markets, and he doesn’t want to have a tough fight with Wu Yushu to affect his own business.”
Qin Junxia blinked and said: "Although Li Chengkai did not actually control the markets in these three districts, a tacit understanding was formed between the two parties, leaving the market outside the old five districts to Li Chengkai as a buffer! If you want to take Shen Bei's market, that's no problem! But if you want to touch Dongling, you are competing with Li Chengkai for food! If you don't get rid of Yao Xiaowen, his spokesperson in Dongling, you won't be able to chew off this bone."
Lu Tao scratched his nose: "Then how do you think Li Chengkai would react if I touched Yao Xiaowen?"
"I rarely interact with these social people. If you ask me, I can't answer you."
Qin Junxia said with a smile: "Xiao Lu, you want to consolidate the market, which is definitely a good thing, but the water in this industry is quite deep. If you want to make a breakthrough here, you will easily choke on the water."
Lu Tao smiled and said, "I am good at swimming and a big gambler. I really like to swim in places with big waves."
"Haha, since you said that, if I talk more, I will annoy people."
Qin Junxia sensed Lu Tao's attitude, thought for a moment and then added: "Do you know why no one mentioned Yao Xiaowen to you at the dinner table, including until now, and no one came to see you?"
Lu Tao was silent.
"Although these people are sitting at your dinner table today and picking up your wine glass, in fact no one has the same heart as you! For them, whether it is joining Wu Yushu's Sand and Gravel Association or embracing Li Chengkai's thigh, , are both an excellent choice! Compared with these two people, what do you and Zhao Fengnian have?"
Qin Junxia sighed: "Be careful with these wallflowers! The sugar they make is not sweet, but the vinegar they make is quite sour. If you win, they can follow you to fight the autumn wind, but if you lose, they will stab you without hesitation. .”
When Lu Tao heard this, he looked at Qin Junxia meaningfully: "Uncle Qin, since they are all just outsiders, why did you turn to my side?"
"Because of the conditions I proposed to you, neither Wu Yushu nor Li Chengkai would sit here and talk to me."
Qin Junxia said happily: "I came to you not because I think more highly of you than others, but because decades of life experience tell me that it is always right to leave yourself an escape route in everything!"
"I agreed to your previous conditions. Once I finish handling Yao Xiaowen's matter, you won't have to pay any share of the battlefield in the future."
Lu Tao patted the two Chinese characters in the car: "Thank you for inviting me to smoke, Uncle Qin?"
Qin Junxia nodded: "I'm not a gentleman, but I won't let you agree to my conditions in vain. If you really don't deal with them in the end, I will let you know in advance when someone else comes to see me."
The conversation between the two ended here. Zhao Fengnian sat in the car, watching Qin Junxia's Accord go away, and asked Lu Tao, who was returning to the car: "Xiao Lu, what did this old ghost talk to you about?"
"You take this cigarette and smoke it, I respect you."
Lu Tao handed the Zhonghua to Zhao Fengnian and asked smoothly: "Do you know Yao Xiaowen?"
"I met him a few times, but never interacted with him much. When I called him and asked him to invite him to dinner, he spoke very unpleasantly and said that I didn't have any delicious food. I never contacted him again. Pass."
Zhao Fengnian seems to hate Yao Xiaowen: "Although he runs a sand farm, he doesn't sell much sand to the local area. I heard that it is all sold to other places and has little influence locally. As long as we unite and live in other sand farms, this person can Dispensable.”
When Lu Tao heard Zhao Fengnian's answer, he immediately lost interest in continuing the conversation with him: "I won't go back to the battlefield. Let Xiaorui see you off. I have to go out."
Zhao Fengnian noticed the subtle change in Lu Tao's attitude and asked, "Xiao Lu, is there anything wrong with this Yao Xiaowen?"
Lu Tao licked his lips: "Do you know Li Chengkai?"
Zhao Fengnian shook his head: "What Kai?"
Lu Tao laughed dumbly, opened the car door and walked out: "You can go home and wait for the payment. I will handle these trivial matters."
…
After Zhao Fengnian left, Lu Tao returned to the hotel, opened a new private room and waited.
Half an hour later, Chen Jinfa opened the door and walked into the private room: "It's already past dinner time, and you just called me to come out for dinner. You are not sincere!"
Lu Tao leaned on the chair and responded with a smile: "The intention is empty, but the money is real! I talked with several sand field owners in the two districts, and they agreed to integrate the sand and gravel market. After the monopoly was formed, all Each company will use 50% of the premium as a bonus.”
As one of the shareholders of the Zhao family battlefield, Chen Jinfa suddenly smiled when he heard the news: "50%? This price is not low! As far as I know, the sand and gravel association over Wu Yushu only received a symbolic fee. Membership fee!"
"Wu Yushu asked others to join the Sand and Gravel Association, just to let others drink the soup! But if I want to integrate the market, I have to bear the pressure myself and let others cut my flesh. The price will definitely be different!"
Lu Tao waited for Chen Jinfa to take a seat and said straight to the point: "I have set up the framework here, but I encountered a problem. Li Chengkai, a sand bully in the Soviet area, seems to regard Dongling as his back garden."
"I have never been in the sand and gravel industry, but I really have an impression of Li Chengkai! He was involved with Li Junyan in the early years. In early 1997, Li Junyan monopolized the Wuai market and sent Li Chengkai to deal with disputes, resulting in three serious injuries. He was the fifth or sixth defendant at the time and spent some time in prison. After he was released from prison, Li Junyan gave him the responsibility to manage the battlefield in the Soviet area.
Not long after Li Chengkai was released from prison, Li Junyan was shot by Liu Yong and went to hide out for a while. Later, several murder cases in Li Junyan's hands were reported, and the gang was destroyed. As the first public trial of a gangland criminal organization in Shencheng, at that time It was quite a sensation! However, almost all of the cases Li Junyan was convicted of occurred while Li Chengkai was serving his sentence, so he was not implicated. "
Chen Jinfa paused: "In that era, your eldest brother Zhang Bing was very popular. Haven't you seen these people?"
"Before I was imprisoned, I met Li Chengkai several times with Brother Bing, but when they were in society, I was still playing glass balls in school, so I didn't know much about this person."
Lu Tao changed the subject: "If I want to capture the market in these two districts, I must remove Li Chengkai's local agent. Please help me keep an eye on this person's information."
Chen Jinfa asked: "Are you ready to pull out the teeth?"
"Li Chengkai's main business is not in Tangling. If he withdraws from this market, he will still have a way to survive, but I have no way to retreat!"
Lu Tao responded with a smile: "I have to extract this tooth. If Li Chengkai has any objections, I won't even save the fucking tiger!"
