The Worst Situation
The Second Brother of the Yan Family was not afraid of Third Master Wu's negotiation. He was afraid that Third Master Wu would not negotiate and choose to be a coward. If so, there would be nothing left to negotiate.
Now, Third Master Wu put forward a condition. As long as there was a condition, it meant that Third Master Wu still had an idea. In that case, everything could be negotiated.
However, the Second Brother of the Yan Family and Yan Chaozong did not expect that Third Master Wu's condition was so ambitious. He wanted the Yan Family to fully support his return to the Bund.
Yan Chaozong wanted to refuse subconsciously. Third Master Wu, you think too highly of yourself. You only helped the Yan Family to deal with Qin Sheng. Moreover, Qin Sheng had a grudge against you. Now, you actually raised the price and asked the Yan Family to fully support your return to the Bund. Do you know how deep the water in the Bund is? How many tycoons and big shots are hiding in it?
The Second Brother of the Yan Family was deep in thought. He was not as impulsive as Yan Chaozong. Instead, he was thinking about the feasibility of this condition. What was the scope of the return to the Bund mentioned by Third Master Wu? What price could the Yan Family pay and what benefits could they get?
Third Master Wu was indeed raising the price and returning the money. Anyway, this was just a one-off deal. It was a good way to test the bottom line of the Yan Family. At worst, he could make a concession. Anyway, he had to get what he wanted. Otherwise, he would really suffer a loss. There was no need to take such a big risk.
The Second Brother of the Yan Family laughed and said, "Third Master, your appetite is a bit big. Besides, the concept of fully supporting you to return to the Bund is too big. Can you be more specific? I can go back and discuss with my father. Otherwise, how could I dare to agree? You know, too many tycoons have drowned in the water in the Bund. The Yan Family can stand firm here because of the efforts of several generations. "
Was the Second Brother of the Yan Family angry? Of course, he was angry. However, he was not as restless as Yan Chaozong. After all, he was a middle-aged man in his 40s or 50s. He would not be emotional when facing anything. He would only consider the gains and losses.
"Hahaha, Second Brother, it's not that I have a big appetite. Think about it carefully. Actually, it doesn't matter who I choose now. At least I have no loss at present. I don't need to pay the price now. As for the future, we can talk about it later. So why should I choose the Yan family? Is it just because of your threat? If you really go to Zhejiang, the Yan Family can have a try and see whose means are tougher. "Third Master Wu responded in a tough manner. Since they had come to this point, there was no need to play tricks anymore. Both of them would bargain with their own strength.
The Second Elder of the Yan Family was not angry at Third Master Wu's words, because Third Master Wu did have the ability to do so. After all, he was the top local tyrant in Zhejiang, which was not as shallow as Shanghai. In particular, Third Master Wu had a good relationship with the tycoons of Zhejiang businessmen, as well as the famous people who had a good relationship with Third Master Wu in recent years.
The second son of the Yan family smiled and echoed, "Third Master is right. When we are in Zhejiang, Third Master has the final say."
After the atmosphere gradually relaxed, Third Master Wu said cheerfully, "When I left Shanghai in a mess, it has always been my last wish to go back to Shanghai. Although I have business in Shanghai these years, it is just a small business. Don't take it seriously. Since I started to cooperate with the Yan Family last year, it has improved a little. So I still recognize the power of the Yan Family in Shanghai."
The Second Elder of the Yan Family said disapprovingly, "Thank you for your recognition, Third Master. But I still say, Third Master, you have to tell me in detail. I really don't know how big your appetite is."
Third Master Wu did not want to keep them guessing anymore. He said honestly, "In fact, this is a win-win cooperation. Our two families will share resources and work together. I think we can definitely open up a new world. As for how far we can go, it depends on our sincerity."
After hearing that, the Second Elder of the Yan Family said meaningfully, "I see."
Third Master Wu stretched out his hand casually and asked, "Then, Second Elder, you can go back and discuss with the Old Master. I will wait for your news. As long as you agree, I will fully support you."
The Second Elder of the Yan Family said directly, "Third Master, you don't have to report to the Old Master. I can make the decision. I agree on behalf of the Yan Family. I hope we can cooperate happily."
The Second Elder of the Yan Family's words surprised not only Third Master Wu, but also Yan Chaozong. He said hurriedly, "Second Uncle, it is a little too early. You'd better ask Grandpa."
Second Uncle stared at Yan Chaozong and said, "Do I have the final say or you?"
Yan Chaozong shut up immediately. He felt that he had said too much. Now, Second Uncle was responsible for almost all the matters of the Yan Family. Since Second Uncle had agreed, he would really agree.
Third Master Wu stood up slowly and reached out his hand. "I hope we can cooperate happily and open up a future."
The two of them laughed at the same time. Next, Third Master Wu would make an effort to stop Qin Sheng with all his strength. It would be best if he died without a burial place.
Not far away, when Yang Deng saw his Foster Father shaking hands with the Second Elder of the Yan Family and laughing, he already knew what the result would be. That was, his Foster Father finally chose the Yan Family and refused to reconcile with Qin Sheng. In that case, he would not be Qin Sheng's friend in the future. Thinking of this, Yang Deng was somewhat disappointed.
The Second Elder of the Yan Family left Third Master Wu's old foreign-style house with satisfaction. Yan Chaozong was somewhat unhappy. He felt that Third Master Wu had gained a great advantage and the Yan Family had suffered a loss.
On the way back, Yan Chaozong muttered, "Second Uncle, why did we agree with that old guy? It seems that we are begging him. This old guy is really ungrateful."
It started to rain outside. The pedestrians on the road were in a hurry. The car window was getting more and more blurred. The Second Elder of the Yan Family scolded, "Your mentality is getting worse and worse. Qin Sheng has made you so miserable. How can your grandpa and I trust you in the future?"
Yan Chaozong lowered his head and admitted his mistake. However, he still asked truthfully, "Second Uncle, I was wrong. But I still don't understand."
Second Uncle explained calmly, "No matter what you do, you need to have a big enough layout and the ability to control the whole situation. Don't just look at the immediate gains and losses and interests. What's more important is to figure out our situation. For example, if only the Yan Family participates, how much will we lose? We are very likely to become the cannon fodder of the Xue Family and the Gu Family. However, with Third Master Wu's participation, we can share the burden. Secondly, the conditions proposed by Third Master Wu are not necessarily bad for the Yan Family. The Yan Family has limited space to develop in Shanghai. If we can reach a comprehensive cooperation with Third Master Wu, we can not only continue to develop in Shanghai, but also expand our territory to the whole Zhejiang. You should know how much profit we have made in Zhejiang in the past six months. Therefore, this cooperation is definitely a win-win situation. That's why I agreed. "
After Yan Chaozong heard this, he finally understood. He blamed himself for being held back by Qin Sheng. He was only thinking about the grudges between him and Qin Sheng and did not think about these things at all. These were the interests that the Yan family had to consider. If it was in the past, he would definitely not be so superficial. Yan Chaozong's eyes lit up.
Yan Chaozong felt very guilty and said, "Second Uncle, I got it."
Second Uncle patted Yan Chaozong's shoulder gently and said, "Don't think too much. Adjust your emotions. You will be busy in the future. If you lose again this time, you will really have no way out."
Yan Chaozong promised again, "Uncle, I won't let you down."
The news that the uncle and nephew of the Yan Family visited Third Master Wu in the middle of the night was naturally known by Bao Fan. However, they definitely did not know what they had talked about. They could only guess blindly and judge.
In the old foreign-style house on Sinan Road, the Zhu Family's family dinner just ended. After chatting with the old lady for a while, everyone left. Zhu Jiayou said that he would invite Qin Sheng out for a drink, but he was tactfully declined. Qin Sheng was not in the mood to drink now.
During the dinner, Chang Baji and Bao Fan had already called Qin Sheng several times. However, Qin Sheng did not answer them. Then, he saw their text messages.
On the way back to the Lujiazui Apartment, Qin Sheng called Chang Baji back and said, "How is it? Have you found those men?"
Chang Baji, who was in charge of the central headquarters, shook his head and said, "Not yet. After they entered the city, they separated and acted separately. I think they found us and finally got rid of us. They are still tracking us now."
Qin Sheng looked at the heavy rain outside the window and said, "It seems that the Yan Family is going to make a big move."
The night of the city was gradually drowned by the heavy rain. When passing by Lujiazui, the falling dark clouds made the city look a bit magical. No wonder it was called Shanghai.
Chang Baji continued to report, "Bao Fan got the news that the Second Master of the Yan Family visited Third Master Wu tonight with Yan Chaozong. They seemed to have a good talk. In the end, Third Master Wu personally sent the two men of the Yan Family out. I am afraid that it is not good for us."
Qin Sheng had already prepared for the worst. He said in a low voice, "The worst result is that Third Master Wu refuses to reconcile and chooses to collude with the Yan Family."
Chang Baji did not know whether to laugh or cry. He said, "It is easy for you to say. Once Third Master Wu chooses the Yan Family, our pressure will be doubled. So we have to prepare in advance."
What Chang Baji said was right. Although Qin Sheng looked optimistic, he was actually very pessimistic. It would be really troublesome. So he asked, "Lao Chang, in your opinion, if Third Master Wu really chooses the Yan Family, how should we solve this problem?"
Chang Baji was lost in thought and began to think about this problem. Qin Sheng was also planning. If Third Master Wu insisted on doing things his own way, he could not let Third Master Wu down.
Yang Daniu drove the car very steadily. This time, he did not show his driving skills. It was very quiet in the car. Except for the sound of the raindrops beating on the car window, there was no unusual sound.
After a long time, Chang Baji finally said a strategy. He said, "Take drastic measures."
"You mean we start from Hangzhou, make Third Master Wu busy with his own affairs, and then take the initiative to retreat?" Qin Sheng frowned and asked. He immediately understood what Chang Baji meant.
Chang Baji was not anxious. He just said, "It seems that this is the only way. But I have to fully understand the situation on Third Master Wu's side before I make a detailed judgment. Otherwise, it will be too hasty."
"Well, let's talk about the details tomorrow. It is not certain now. What if Third Master Wu chooses to reconcile?" Qin Sheng said with a smile.
Chang Baji nodded and said, "I hope so."
After hanging up the phone, Qin Sheng quietly enjoyed the rainy night in Shanghai. Under all kinds of neon lights, the night in Shanghai was really magical, with different kinds of charm. If one diverged his thinking, his imagination would definitely move like a galloping horse.
When he was about to arrive at the gate of Lujiazui Apartment, Qin Sheng finally received a call from Third Master Wu. This call was within Qin Sheng's expectation, but he did not expect it to be so fast. After all, Third Master Wu had just met the Yan Family.
So Qin Sheng had a bad premonition.
Unfortunately, the worst situation that Qin Sheng was worried about happened. Third Master Wu refused to reconcile.
