Siheyuan's Silly Pillar has been replaced by someone else

Liu Guangtian and the other man only knew the general location of Li Huaide's residence, but did not know You Fengxia's phone number.

They could only resort to the most rudimentary method: waiting for prey to run into their traps by lying in wait on the streets.

After staking out the place for a few days, Banggeng became impatient: "Do you even know where Li Huaide lives?"

Liu Guangfu said, "I don't know. What's wrong? If you don't want to look, then go home."

"What did you say?" Bang Geng glared angrily at Liu Guangfu.

Don't let Bang Geng's quiet demeanor fool you; he's quite a fighter.

In this respect, he is far superior to Jia Dongxu.

Even if Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu were combined, they wouldn't be a match for Bang Geng.

Even though he couldn't win, Liu Guangfu couldn't easily back down.

"I told you to get out, so what? You eat and drink our food every day, and we're not worried, so why are you in such a hurry?"

The two were about to argue when Liu Guangtian stopped them, saying, "Shut up, both of you."

Just then, Liu Guangtian saw You Fengxia sitting in the car.

“Look, You Fengxia is in that car.”

Without saying a word, the three of them immediately ran towards the car.

Fortunately, You Fengxia didn't go far and stopped in front of a restaurant.

"Miss You."

When You Fengxia saw the three of them, she stopped and said, "Oh, it's you. What are you doing here?"

After resting for a while, Liu Guangtian said, "Miss You, we came here specifically to see you."

"Xu Damao sent you?" You Fengxia didn't expect that the group would resort to underhanded tactics behind Xu Damao's back.

This life is different from Sha Zhu's previous one.

Throughout his life, Sha Zhu had little capital, and Li Huaide didn't care about him.

In this life, if Xu Damao were to give up all his assets, it might not be less than Li Huaide's.

Li Huaide and You Fengxia would not abandon him unless absolutely necessary.

Liu Guangtian explained, "This isn't the place to talk. Let's find somewhere else to talk, shall we?"

You Fengxia then led them into the restaurant and listened to what they had to say.

"Aren't you afraid Xu Damao will find out that you're doing this behind his back?"

Banggeng said, "What's there to be afraid of? We're all doing business, competing fairly. Our prices are low, which gives us an advantage."

It doesn't matter who you do business with.

There's no need to associate myself with Xu Damao.

You Fengxia turned to look at Bang Geng: "Your mother is Qin Huairu, isn't she?"

Banggeng nodded.

You Fengxia laughed.

She has been in Beijing for quite some time and knows a lot about the old stories of the steel rolling mill.

Of course, I had heard about Li Huaide's romantic affair with Qin Huairu.

You Fengxia wouldn't let this little thing affect her business. After thinking for a moment, she said, "I can't make that decision."

Okay, let's exchange contact information. I'll contact you again after I've asked Director Li.

They exchanged contact information and then parted ways.

You Fengxia returned to her residence and told Li Huaide what had happened.

"Your old friends are all very talented. They're quite adept at poaching talent from behind the scenes."

Li Huaide thought for a moment: "They really said that."

“Yes. They said the three of them have been looking for us for several days,” You Fengxia said.

Li Huaide paced around the room a few times: "Go contact them and tell them we've agreed."

You Fengxia was shocked: "You're not going to cooperate with Xu Damao anymore?"

Li Huaide explained, "Xu Damao's asking price is too high. We're taking such a big risk by using connections; if we go along with what he says, we'll be losing out."

Let's cooperate with them first and show Xu Damao that we can't do without him.

When Xu Damao found out, he didn't dare ask for such a high price.

You Fengxia thought about it and realized that there was some truth to it.

They're risking their lives to smuggle goods; they must be doing it to make a lot of money. Otherwise, there'd be no point in doing it.

"Then I'll contact them. What should I say to Xu Damao? Should I tell him?" Li Huaide shook his head: "No need. I know Liu Haizhong and his people."

Once they've made money, they'll brag to Xu Damao.

You Fengxia then contacted Liu Guangtian and arranged a time to discuss cooperation.

When Liu Guangtian learned of the news, he told Liu Haizhong.

Upon hearing this, Liu Haizhong was extremely satisfied: "I knew Li Huaide would cooperate with us."

"You should go and discuss this with You Fengxia."

Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu, carrying sticks, met with You Fengxia again, and the two sides quickly agreed on a way to cooperate.

Li Huaide wanted to use them to provoke Xu Damao, so he offered a relatively high price.

Liu Guangtian and his two companions brought the news back to the courtyard house.

Liu Haizhong gathered the people to discuss ways to cooperate: "In this matter, our family has contributed the most, and we will take the lion's share, is that alright?"

He didn't really need to ask.

Unless Yi Zhonghai and Yan Bugui reveal all their cards, the two of them combined are no match for Liu Haizhong.

Clearly, neither of them will reveal all their cards.

Especially Yi Zhonghai, he also had to be wary of Qin Huairu. Even if he didn't make money, he wouldn't let Qin Huairu know all his trump cards.

"We're all fine."

Liu Haizhong nodded in satisfaction: "Then everyone go back and raise the money."

Yi Zhonghai and Qin Huairu have basically raised all the money.

Yi Zhonghai pulled out another 10,000 yuan from somewhere.

When Qin Huairu found out, she was so angry that she couldn't sleep all night.

She had served Yi Zhonghai for so many years, yet she had no idea how much wealth he actually possessed.

Qin Huairu's side really didn't have much money to spare, except for Tang Yanling, who got 10,000 yuan from her family.

When Yan Bugui returned home, he discussed it with his third aunt and felt that relying solely on his own money would not be enough to secure a sufficient share, so he thought of Yan Jiecheng and his wife.

They called Yan Jiecheng back and told him about the smuggling business.

Like Yan Bugui, Yan Jiecheng didn't even consider the risks involved and was immediately tempted.

"Dad, are you telling the truth?"

Yan Bugui said, "Of course it's true. Boss, don't say I didn't take care of you."

Give me the money, and I'll get you involved.

"When the time comes, we'll split the profits 30/70, I'll get 70% and you get 30%."

Yan Jiecheng said with dissatisfaction, "Why should we? We contributed 60% of the money, so we should take the lion's share."

Yan Bugui snorted: "Without me, would you have known this news?"

"You run a business outside, don't you know about transaction fees?"

Yan Jiecheng said, "It's not like I don't know Second Uncle, Guangtian, and Guangfu. I can go directly to them."

Yan Bugui said smugly, "Don't dream about it. Do you think Old Liu would let you join if I didn't agree?"

You have to pay this money, whether you want to or not.

The third aunt chimed in, "Your dad is right. This was something your dad discussed with Lao Yi and Lao Liu."

No one can join without their consent.

If you're not convinced, you can go and see them.

However, if they disagree, and you come back to us, the share won't be 30/70 anymore.

Yan Jiecheng wasn't stupid; he knew very well that he couldn't go to Liu Haizhong.

It was no use searching.

The three old men are a unit; their primary concern is protecting their own interests.

If he dares to refuse, and then turns around and comes back to Yan Bugui, and Yan Bugui leaves him 25 percent, then Yan Bugui has a conscience.

Yan Jiecheng turned to look at Hao Min.

Hao Min hesitated for a moment, then agreed.

"Alright, let's sign the contract."

Yan Bugui smiled and said, "Go get the money, I'll draft the contract." (End of Chapter)
