Chapter 112 Gambling

The next day, inside the main building of the Zhou family manor.

Zhou Yaoxiang sat in the living room on the second floor, chatting with Yu Jinhang, Yu Mingyuan, and others.

Footsteps sounded, and a middle-aged man walked over, smiling and saying to Zhou Yaoxiang, "Boss, the meeting room is ready."

"Good." Zhou Yaoxiang nodded and looked at Yu Jinhang, "Old Yu, let the specific people talk about the specific things. Let's go for a walk."

Yu Jinhang was taken aback, "Haha, okay!"

"Mingyuan, you guys talk to the company people. Business is business, no need to be polite at the negotiating table." Zhou Yaoxiang said to Yu Mingyuan in a joking tone after getting up.

"Okay, Uncle!" Yu Mingyuan nodded.

When Zhou Yaoxiang got up and walked out, he patted Su Tianyu's shoulder, "Xiao Yu, Tonghui owes you a favor. Find a chance to get him to repay you."

Su Tianyu was overjoyed to hear this, "It's all part of the job."

"This young man is quite clever." Zhou Yaoxiang commented to Yu Jinhang.

"Haha, yes, the future association will also be handed over to them." Yu Jinhang echoed and followed Zhou Yaoxiang out.

Da Bai looked at Su Tianyu and said sourly, "I worked so hard, I almost handed my dad over, why does Godfather owe you a favor in the end? I'm not convinced!"

Su Tianyu got up and touched his head, "Don't worry, when Zhou Tonghui comes back, I will tell him everything about you selling your dad, and let him treat you to another performance of the century's best ballet."

"I wish you get a terminal illness soon!" Da Bai replied politely.

"Haha, let's go, let's go to the meeting room." Yu Mingyuan called out.

In this way, everyone got up, took the materials, and entered the meeting room with the Zhou family's company personnel.

…

Outside.

Yu Jinhang walked next to Zhou Yaoxiang, watching the scenery in the manor while whispering, "Brother Zhou, you're not investing in the association just to spite someone, right?"

Zhou Yaoxiang smiled with his hands behind his back, his tone full of irony, "Hehe, spite who? Old Mo's warhammer?!"

Yu Jinhang was silent.

"A little cigarette and alcohol business on the sea can eventually involve social groups, garrisons, customs, Old Mo's gang, and even the Security Bureau." Zhou Yaoxiang looked at Yu Jinhang, "The Security Bureau came forward, and a shell was fired at The Dragon City, but it was a dud. That's surprising, haha."

"Yes." Yu Jinhang nodded in agreement.

"All of this is based in The Dragon City," Zhou Yaoxiang continued, "which shows that this place does have its peculiarities."

Yu Jinhang looked at Zhou Yaoxiang, thinking that this person's sense of smell was really sensitive.

"Invest some money, and play with this wharf gang first." Zhou Yaoxiang stopped there, changed the subject, and asked, "Shall we ride a horse?"

"Sure, let's go!" Yu Jinhang responded.

The two old veterans finalized the association's affairs in a few words, and for the Zhou family, this was also a layout to break through the existing situation.

…

After the big shots finalized the matter, the younger generation was responsible for fighting for the interests of both parties, because all negotiations are confrontational. The bosses would never personally engage in this kind of tearing.

Zhou's Zhongxiao Hall has many companies in District One. The company that contacted Yu Mingyuan and others this time was an investment company registered less than three years ago, called Tianfu Finance.

After listening to Su Tianyu's detailed rules for establishing the association, the person in charge of this company asked many tricky questions, such as the estimated number of members to be recruited, how the association would pass the certification bill, the management personnel structure, and the association's articles of association.

The two sides communicated for five or six hours and reached a preliminary agreement. Yu Mingyuan also made certain concessions, because Tianfu Company proposed that they would set up a financial supervision department in the association, and even requested that they occupy three positions among the seven top decision-makers of the association.

Truthfully speaking, the other party is the gold master, and they have given you the money, so it is normal to want to see how you spend it. But they want to occupy three places among the seven decision-makers, which is equivalent to the other party wanting nearly half of the control of the association, and on key decisions, the seven decision-makers all have veto power.

This made Su Tianyu a little angry. Because you want to supervise finances, that's understandable, but if you want to influence the association's decisions, it's a bit like overstepping your bounds.

What if there are different opinions within the association in the future?

Gou Liuzi wanted to poke Yu Mingyuan to refuse, but when he saw that the other party's investment plan stated that they would invest a total of 40 million in two installments, he immediately chose to shut up.

This amount was too sincere. They invested 40 million in cash, so what if they wanted three spots? They also have to protect their own interests, right?

Su Tianyu quickly convinced himself and also gestured an OK sign to Yu Mingyuan.

In fact, as Zhou Yaoxiang said, friends are friends, business is business. Since you choose to cooperate, both parties must give each other a certain amount of respect and rights, otherwise things will not last long.

…

After the negotiation ended.

Yu Mingyuan and others drove away from the Zhou family. Everyone was in a good mood. With money, everyone could do things.

Bai Hongbo sat in the business car, lazily patting his big belly and said, "Damn, 40 million! I haven't burned that much paper money for my grandpa."

"Hehe, you negotiated well." Yu Mingyuan turned to look at Su Tianyu, "Call Zhenghui and tell him that we're basically done here, and let him contact the three old men and prepare to start gathering people."

"I think you guys are happy too early." Su Tianyu said disappointedly, "We have the money, but the funeral in The Dragon City is not over yet."

Yu Mingyuan frowned upon hearing this, "Yes, Gu Tongshan hasn't been buried yet."

"That's right, Gu Tongshan's death is indeed gratifying, but we will definitely take the blame for this." Bai Hongbo immediately said, "Although we are all in District One, our families are all in The Dragon City! If the wharf gang goes crazy, then... then our families are in danger."

Yu Mingyuan paused for a moment, "No, I'll call the garrison and ask them to watch over them?"

"It's useless, there's no way to guard against thieves day and night?!" Su Tianyu pondered for a moment, "We still have to find the thread and clear our own name. Whoever did it should pay for it."

"Who do you think did it?" Bai Hongbo turned to look at Su Tianyu and asked, "This person is really wicked, using us to kill people."

Su Tianyu glanced at Da Bai, "I'll call Uncle Wang first to see if the police department has any clues."

Yu Mingyuan pondered for a moment, "We also have to call Zhenghui to guard against the wharf gang, and it's best to have Wang Daolin help keep an eye on things. Xu Hu will definitely make a move after Gu Tongshan's funeral."

"Yeah." Su Tianyu nodded.

…

The Dragon City.

The day before Gu Tongshan's burial, his wife and children were blocked at home by seven or eight leaders of The Dragon City wharf gang.

"Aunt Gu, let's not talk nonsense. We've all discussed it and we all think that Old Mo's goods are too expensive and the quantity is small, so we have one attitude, replace them and find a new source of goods!" A middle-aged man crossed his legs and shouted loudly.

At the same time, two off-road vehicles departed from The Dragon City yesterday, constantly changing drivers, heading to Huadu.
