These two men who had once fought fiercely shook hands and chatted for a while before taking their seats.
With their status, it was impossible for there to be an awkward silence at the table. Even if Shang Yao wasn't here, as long as Xiao Zheng was willing, he could easily talk for an hour or two.
"Boss Xiao, let me give you a toast." Shang Jingtian's expression was polite and even a little respectful.
In fact, no matter how impressive Xiao Zheng was now, in terms of overall strength, he was at most on the same starting line as Shang Jingtian. In terms of background, he might not be stronger than Shang Jingtian.
However, Shang Jingtian had been left in the dust by Xiao Zheng.
Because he was over fifty years old, he was already approaching his sixties. On the other hand, Xiao Zheng was only thirty-two years old. He was in the prime of his life. Who was stronger and who was weaker could be seen at a glance.
However, this wasn't the main point. The most important thing was that Shang Jingtian had been deserted by his friends and family. Even though he still maintained close ties with many big shots. But not everyone was willing to help him.
Looking at Xiao Zheng again, every single one of his relationships and every single power behind him could provide him with great help. Including Justin and other big shots in America, and His Majesty Ling Lai in Tokyo!
With the help of all these international connections, Xiao Zheng's unusually large global influence was painted on the map!
In this aspect, Shang Jingtian could only look at his back.
After three rounds of drinks, Shang Jingtian's skinny face gradually revealed a touch of vicissitudes. He lit a cigarette and said with an extremely depressed expression, "Boss Xiao, I won't hide it from you. These days, I've been reflecting and thinking about how to continue on this path in the future. "
Xiao Zheng put down his glass and said, "What do you think, Boss Shang?"
Up until now, Xiao Zheng knew very little and didn't understand Shang Jingtian's true intentions. So he was happy to be a listener.
At the very least, before figuring out Shang Jingtian's real purpose, even if Shang Yao came forward to mediate, he would not say anything.
"The current situation is full of danger." Shang Jingtian breathed out a mouthful of smoke and said with a solemn expression. "Outside, there's the head of the Zhao Family who's about to come to Hua Xia. Inside was Lin Laoyao, who was eyeing him like a tiger watching its prey. Once these two giants joined hands … Even if the Bai Clan, Yan Clan, and Ye Clan formed an alliance, it would still be very difficult to stop their attack. "
"What kind of attack?" Xiao Zheng narrowed his eyes and asked.
He wanted to find out more about Shang Jingtian.
This person was a sly old fox. Based on what Xiao Zheng knew, he had done more than one or two tricks behind the scenes. Who knew if he was sincere this time, or if he had other motives?
"Let's not talk about the business world. In any case, with Boss Xiao's Xin Ao, his foundation cannot be shaken overnight. "Shang Jingtian said slowly. "But Boss Xiao must be clear about one thing. Why did the Zhao Family come here? It's revenge. What's the most direct way of revenge? It's to kill! "
"Enterprises, especially those listed companies, those with a market value of hundreds of billions, or even trillions. There's no such thing as a family's world. It can't be decided by just one or two people. It's decided by the board of directors. "Shang Jingtian said one word at a time. "Whether it's the Bai Clan, the Yan Clan, or even the Ye Clan. It's not up to these three clans to decide. What they want to do, what they want to decide. It's not something that can be approved by just writing a proposal in their own study. It needs to go through the board of directors. "
"So — —" Shang Jingtian said slowly. "From my personal experience. These three clans will eventually be invaded by the Zhao Family, no matter how they do it. They will slowly lose control of their enterprises. And I believe that as long as the Zhao Family has the determination, they can definitely do it. "
After listening to Shang Jingtian's explanation, Xiao Zheng agreed with it 100%. And this was indeed the best way of revenge!
Take away your power!
Then destroy your life!
Let you come with nothing, and leave with nothing!
Just like Zhao Zhangfeng from the Zhao Family!
This was the business war that had the least impact on the overall situation, and it was also the situation that the higher-ups wanted to see the most. Otherwise, if the few major enterprises really went head-to-head. God knows how much damage it would cause to the society and the country.
One should know that the enterprises controlled by the few magnates involved were all the top groups in Hua Xia and even the whole of Asia. One problem, and it would cause a storm in the city. Everything going wrong?
That was an unimaginable situation!
"I admit that what Boss Shang said is very likely to be the future. But so what? "Xiao Zheng asked back.
Up until now, Xiao Zheng still didn't understand what Shang Jingtian was trying to do.
"I have decided to let Yao Yao take care of all of the Shang Family's enterprises." Shang Jingtian changed the topic, his eyes were filled with exhaustion. "I'm tired of fighting and killing."
Xiao Zheng's heart suddenly shook when he heard this.
This old fox is going to retire?
He looked at Shang Yao in disbelief, only to see her nodding slightly, confirming his guess.
"If that's the case, then there's no need for Boss Shang to meet me right?" Xiao Zheng asked cautiously.
"I know, I had a huge conflict with Boss Xiao in the past." Shang Jingtian said slowly. "In fact, no matter what I do, no matter what I say, Boss Xiao won't believe me."
"But now, I just want to tell Boss Xiao. Before I retire, I want to fulfill a wish. "Shang Jingtian said word by word. "Protect Yan family."
"If the environment allows it — —" Shang Jingtian's eyes were filled with determination. "I want to see Lin Laoyao being defeated. Even if the one who defeated him is not me. "
He had been the number two for half his life. Shang Jingtian had a strong grudge against him. Xiao Zheng could completely understand this point.
Of course, what made Xiao Zheng let down his guard the most was not Shang Jingtian's reasonable wish. Rather, he gave up his control of the Shang Family and let Shang Yao take care of it.
If that's the case, Shang Yao would instantly become the head of two large corporations. Her influence, and even her net worth, would be close to Lin Laoyao's!
She would be Asia's richest woman at the top!
That night, Shang Jingtian and Xiao Zheng talked a lot. But they avoided the past grudges, and only focused on the future.
Xiao Zheng didn't have any objections to this. Now that the enemy was right in front of them, he had no interest in settling the previous grudge with Shang Jingtian.
Kill him?
Even if he could kill Shang Jingtian effortlessly, he would not be able to do so. Then what about the future? Would Shang Yao have no grudges at all? Would she still ally with Bai family and Ye family to fight against Zhao family?
And this was the biggest reason why Shang Jingtian gave up his power.
No matter if it was Bai family or Ye family, they wouldn't give any friendship to Shang Jingtian. But Shang Yao was different, because of her good relationship with Xiao Zheng. Because of her reputation in the circle. If she was the one holding the power, Yan family would have an extra layer of insurance against the storm that had been brewing for fifty years. At least they wouldn't be shaken by the storm!
