Naming Names
Boss Hu's situation was different from that of the Dugu Family. Compared with many tycoons who kept a low profile, Boss Hu was deeply rooted in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai. First of all, Boss Hu valued friendship and was a soldier. Secondly, Boss Hu's security business made him acquainted with many tycoons. Boss Hu had encountered strong opponents several times, but his friends had helped him out of danger eventually. For example, Wei Li's father had helped Boss Hu before. After all, Boss Hu had found bodyguards for many tycoons, which was a favor.
Finally, and most importantly, Boss Hu had a good relationship with the military. His companies included pilot units for integrating military and civilian affairs, model units for supporting the military, and so on. People with discerning eyes could see all these. However, no one knew what Boss Hu's background was. Anyway, Boss Hu had not revealed it until now.
The Dugu Family was different. Although the Dugu Family had a large business, involved in many industries, and had a wide range of connections, the Dugu Family had been able to suddenly explode in the past few years because of their background and connections. That was why others had given them some face. However, now that their relationship was in jeopardy, they could hardly protect themselves. The Dugu Family knew very well what the result would be. Therefore, they urgently needed a strong ally.
Therefore, after Dugu Qingning met Qin Sheng on behalf of the Dugu Family, he directly agreed to Qin Sheng's request without the elders meeting him.
However, Boss Hu was different. Boss Hu did not intend to get involved. He only agreed to meet Qin Sheng because of the Wei Family and the military relationship behind Qin Sheng.
Why did Wei Li's father respect Boss Hu? That was because Boss Hu had always kept a low profile and never got close to anyone. He treated people with sincerity and made friends with benefits. Therefore, Boss Hu had a lot of friends.
Therefore, Boss Hu did not pay special attention to Qin Sheng because of his identity. For example, he had to cooperate with Qin Sheng and so on. Now, he wanted to see Qin Sheng's sincerity and his bargaining chips.
After hearing Boss Hu's words, Qin Sheng could not figure out what Boss Hu meant at the moment. He could only ask as usual, "Brother Hu, to be honest, I came here mainly to meet my old friend, and then to talk about cooperation. It doesn't matter whether the cooperation is successful or not."
Boss Hu chuckled as he said, "Qin Sheng, this is a little fake, isn't it?" Of course, he did not believe Qin Sheng's words. He continued as he said, "Wei Li told me that Third Master Wu went to Shanghai and formed an alliance with your old enemy, Yan Chaozong. They wanted to deal with you together. How could you not panic? Didn't you come to Hangzhou to persuade us to deal with Third Master Wu? "
Qin Sheng picked up a can of Coca-Cola, opened it, and took a sip. He did not like this kind of carbonated drink very much and only drank it once in a while.
"Since Uncle Hu already knows, is Brother Hu willing to help?" Qin Sheng joked with a smile.
Boss Hu laughed out loud as he said, "Do you think our relationship has reached this stage? Do you think I have to cooperate with you because of your current identity and status? I don't think it is necessary for me to cooperate with you because of your current identity and status. I don't think it is necessary for me to help you. Why should I offend Third Master Wu? This is a conflict of interest with me. If I don't see enough benefits and bargaining chips, I will definitely not agree easily, because it is not worthwhile. Who is willing to do business at a loss?
What do you think? "Boss Hu's words were quite honest, without any falsehood. He did not like to beat around the bush, so it was best to be straightforward. In this way, he would not offend anyone.
Qin Sheng selectively ignored some of Boss Hu's words. He just stared at the key words and said, "Brother Hu, I did not say that I want you to offend Third Master Wu. Moreover, I can't offer you such a bargaining chip. It seems that Wei Li did not make it clear to you. This time, I am going to give you a generous gift, Brother Hu, because you helped me at that time. "
Boss Hu squinted as he asked, "What generous gift? Boss Hu squinted and asked, "Tell me."
Qin Sheng said honestly, "Brother Hu, if Third Master Wu dies, there will be no leader and they will fall into internal strife. Brother Hu, are you not interested in Third Master Wu's share of the cake? I guess at that time, everyone will rush to get it. If I take the initiative to tell Brother Hu first, Brother Hu, won't you take the lead?"
"Third Master Wu dies?" Upon hearing this, Boss Hu laughed out loud as he said, "Qin Sheng, are you kidding? Third Master Wu will die? Do you have the ability to kill Third Master Wu? Do you know how powerful Third Master Wu is? I guess you can't even deal with the masters around him. I heard that Lao Chang was defeated by Chu Sikong, who is on Third Master Wu's side. Tell me, how can you kill Third Master Wu? "
Not many people knew that Chang Baji had been defeated by Chu Sikong. Since Boss Hu knew about it, it meant that he had planted a mole on Third Master Wu or the Old Monk's side. It also showed that Boss Hu was very ambitious. However, he was not willing to tell Qin Sheng what was on his mind at the moment.
Qin Sheng said confidently, "Brother Hu, you don't need to worry about how Third Master Wu will die. Maybe Third Master Wu was seriously ill, or he got into a car accident. Anything is possible."
Boss Hu looked at Qin Sheng up and down as he said, "It seems that you have a plan. Otherwise, Qin Sheng would not dare to talk about cooperation with him.
Qin Sheng continued, "Then, let me ask you again. If there is chaos over there, won't you take action? Will you just watch others take away the benefits that you can easily get?"
Boss Hu said thoughtfully, "If Third Master Wu is really going to die, I will have to make a decision according to the situation. Who knows how things will develop. However, I am not interested in these things now. Consequently, even if things are really messed up, I probably won't take any action." He had too many identities at the moment. At that time, he really might not take any action. For some things that had been tainted, he could not touch them.
Qin Sheng let out a long sigh and said, "It seems that there is nothing to talk about. I don't have enough bargaining chips."
Boss Hu said directly, "Then we just meet old friends today. We will have opportunities to cooperate in the future." Actually, his attitude was clear to Qin Sheng.
Qin Sheng stood up slowly. It did not occur to him that this would happen. However, it seemed reasonable. After all, Boss Hu was not from the Dugu Family.
Qin Sheng smiled politely and said, "Brother Hu, sorry for bothering you today. We will meet again if there is a chance."
Boss Hu stood up and said gently, "I will walk you out. We will meet again when Lao Chang returns to Hangzhou."
They did not part on bad terms. They just did not reach an agreement. Qin Sheng really did not have bargaining chips to ask Boss Hu to take action. If he really had bargaining chips, he would not have taken advantage of the situation to negotiate.
Boss Hu walked Qin Sheng and Wei Li to the car. Qin Sheng and Wei Li left the training base in the same car. On the way back, Wei Li blamed himself a little. "Lao Qin, it is all my fault. I did not communicate with Uncle Hu properly. If there is no other way, can I ask the old man to come out and talk with him?"
Qin Sheng refused directly. "Don't bother Uncle Wei. Uncle Wei is a busy man now. Moreover, it is not necessary. Even if Boss Hu agrees, he may not do his best."
Qin Sheng thought more than Wei Li about these things. Wei Li could not give any more ideas. He had done what he could. Next, it was up to Qin Sheng to do it.
Wei Li said thoughtfully, "If there is only the Dugu Family, it will be a little difficult to deal with. Do you have any other ideas?"
Qin Sheng replied meaningfully, "I have one, but it is useless now. It may not be useful at that time. I can only take one step at a time. I have to solve Third Master Wu as soon as possible. Whether it is in Shanghai or Hangzhou, I can't afford it."
Wei Li was very clear about what Qin Sheng meant. It seemed that the storm in the Qin Family was getting more and more troublesome. This was also something that Wei Li did not understand. The old man clearly knew what he was doing and the current situation of the Qin Family, but he still supported him to help Qin Sheng. Wei Li was very confused.
Could it be that the old man knew more things that no one knew about?
Wei Li did not want to disturb Qin Sheng anymore, so he changed the topic and said, "Let's not talk about this. My father will come back from Hong Kong tomorrow. He said he would entertain you at home. I will pick you up then."
Qin Sheng smiled and said, "You don't have to pick me up. Just send me the address, and I will go there directly."
Wei Li did not hesitate and directly nodded as he said, "Okay."
Consequently, at the intersection ahead, Qin Sheng and Wei Li parted ways. After all, Wei Li had his own things to deal with and could not accompany Qin Sheng 24 hours a day.
Although this trip to Hangzhou only lasted two days, Qin Sheng did not stop. He had been busy on the road and met people from all sides. The result could be said to be mixed.
He was happy that there was no accident on the Dugu Family's side. Even Fang Jianping's side had been settled, which was a pleasant surprise. He was worried that Boss Hu had refused, which put the next plan in a deadlock.
If there was no result on the side in Shanghai, Qin Sheng would really have a headache. He hoped that Chang Baji and Bao Fan could deal with Wu Yongchuan. At least there was still hope.
Qin Sheng casually finished dinner. He had been busy all the time and did not have a chance to feel the charm of this city again. After dinner, Qin Sheng took Yang Daniu for a casual stroll by the West Lake.
The lake was sparkling, and the evening wind was gentle. Qin Sheng felt a little relaxed. If Lin Su followed him back to Hangzhou, it would be quite romantic to take a walk hand in hand after dinner.
Someone's little girl was playing in front of them. She was so silly and adorable that Qin Sheng stared at her for a long time. Those who did not know better would think that she was a human trafficker. He did not look away until her parents took the child away.
Yang Daniu asked casually, "Brother Qin, you still don't plan to have children?"
Qin Sheng replied with a smile, "I haven't married yet. What's the hurry?"
Yang Daniu said disapprovingly, "Isn't it involved? You can have children first and then get married. At that time, you can hold the wedding and the one-month party together, which will save money."
After saying that, Yang Daniu seemed to have amused himself as he laughed out loud.
Qin Sheng rolled his eyes at him and did not bother to despise him.
At this time, Qin Sheng received a call from Brother Wu, who said that something had happened to Lin Ze. It seemed that he had been kidnapped, and the other party specifically asked to see Qin Sheng.
Qin Sheng was instantly lost in thought. Was it for me?
