"Brother Zhou, it's been a long time since I saw you. It's been 10 years. I remember the last time I met was at the KK business exchange conference." Chu Xiongba smiled and held Zhou Rantian's hand and greeted him.

"Yes, after ten years of separation, we are both old."

"You are not old, Brother Zhou, you are getting stronger and stronger. By the way, I don't need to introduce you to me, right?" Chu Xiongba looked at Lin Bufan.

"Hello, Sister Zhou, please don't worry," Lin Bufan bowed to greet him.

"Why is Bufan here too?" Zhou Linlin blurted out.

"I also want to come alone, but Bufan said he wanted to be with me. Alas, there is no way. Who made me his adoptive father?" Chu Xiongba smiled proudly.

Zhou Rantian's face sank slightly.

The group entered the villa and sat down, and went to Yugan Longjing, also known as the best Longjing. The output of this thing is only a few kilograms a year, so it is not something you can buy with money, so it must be related.

In the eyes of rich people, anything that can be bought with money is not a good thing.

"This Longjing is really refreshing and delicious. Brother Zhou, your private hiding is good. I didn't bring any good things this time, so I didn't respect you." Chu Xiongba clapped his hands, and then Hong Tianren behind him put the A beautiful box was placed on the coffee table.

Seeing that Zhou Rantian did not take action, Chu Xiongba winked at Hong Tianren, and Hong Tianren took apart the paper box, which was made of jadeite "Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea".

Whether it is color or knife skills, they are all first-class. This thing is not something that can be bought with money. Just this white-fat jade is obviously something that is an old pit. The jade mine that can be called an old pit has long been without jade. .

"This thing is too expensive, I can't accept it." Zhou Rantian refused.

"Brother Zhou, you're just arguing about me now..." As he spoke, he looked at Lin Bufan.

Lin Bufan had no choice but to say: "Old Zhou, the Eight Immortals are the immortals who give blessings, and the adoptive father is giving blessings to you. If you refuse blessings, it may not be very good for your luck."

Business people pay attention to luck, and this is what Lin Bufan said, so it is hard to refuse.

"Since Bufan said this, I will accept it. Chairman Chu, thank you." Zhou Rantian asked Butler Qin to take the gift aside.

After a few greetings, Chu Xiongba got to the point: "This time I came for the North African mining area."

"I basically guessed it too," said Zhou Rantian.

"Brother Zhou, there is no need for us to raise the price competition. It will make the North African senior management cheaper. My idea is that we will develop the mining area together."

Zhou Rantian had long expected Chu Xiongba to say such things, and said with a calm face: "I don't like this business model in one mining area, two mining owners."

"Brother Zhou, then you might as well give me the mining area and exit." A trace of darkness flashed through Chu Xiongba's eyes.

"Chairman Chu, although you are from the four major families of Yanxia and have tens of billions of assets, I, Zhou, are also a person who is not short of money. I think it's better to compete fairly."

"Brother Zhou, is there fair competition in North Africa's mining areas? They are all obtained by intrigue. Let's not be so hypocritical." Chu Xiongba's words became more and more explicit and pressing.

"Sometimes you need to be hypocritical, sometimes you need to be open and honest. I like a saying that you would rather be tiled than jade breaking." Zhou Rantian said loudly.

Seeing that the smell of gunpowder became stronger and stronger, Lin Bufan hurriedly interrupted the conversation between the two, "Old Zhou, adoptive father, drink a sip of tea and speak slowly."

The two looked at Lin Bufan and picked up the teacup at the same time.

The atmosphere was a little bit softer.

Lin Bufan's forehead also began to sweat, and his brain was running quickly.

From an economic perspective, a mining area can bring at most a billion in profits. A copper mine like North Africa may only have a profit of 8.9 billion, because 30% of the profits are taxable. Foreign companies are in foreign mining areas.

Taxes are scary.

Compared with a chip project with just over one billion, it is a big deal, so Lin Bufan decided to help Chu Xiongba this time and gain Chu Xiongba's trust.

Getting trust is also to destroy Chu Xiongba.

"Mr. Zhou, I just heard this and thought what my adoptive father said was quite reasonable. It would be better to work together to develop and make profits between the snipe and the clam to fight. Lin Bufan said with a sincere expression.

Zhou Rantian squinted his eyes and touched his beard, and he didn't know what to say for a moment.

"Bufan, Chujia Company has injured many of our employees, and there are still two employees who cannot take care of themselves." Zhou Linlin said angrily.

"There must be a struggle under the competition. This has been the case for a hundred years. People die for money and birds die for food. Sister Zhou, I feel very sympathetic to those two employees, but those who want to do big things cannot be bound by a few employees.

We still have to go towards the big goal." Lin Bufan looked at Zhou Linlin, hoping that Zhou Linlin could hear what he meant from his words and not be stubborn. At worst, just be responsible for the losses in your mining area.

But Zhou Linlin seemed very surprised and didn't seem to expect Lin Bufan to say such words.

Zhou Rantian also showed a look of surprise. In his memory, Lin Bufan was a righteous and upright man who was not afraid of the powerful. Why did he look like a lackey in front of Chu Xiongba?

"You can't say that. Even the employees at the bottom are also family members of our Xingyao Mining."

The conversation was at a deadlock.

The guards of the two sides outside were also tense and ready to fight at any time!

Lin Bufan's forehead was covered with fine sweat, "Old Zhou, why not follow the rules of the ancient battlefield and have a battle in front of the formation. How about winning in three games?"

Zhou Rantian's heart was filled with tides, and he looked at Lin Bufan with a firm heart, feeling that Lin Bufan today was not the Lin Bufan he used to be.

Looking at Lin Bufan's eyes again, I always feel like I have something.

It seems to be hinting at myself!

Bufan must have something to say to him, but Chu Xiongba is there, so it is not convenient to say it. Judging from the previous conversation, Bufan is standing on Chu Xiongba's side, so there must be articles here.

Thinking of the previous various investments and Lin Bufan's personality, Zhou Rantian decided to believe Lin Bufan and continued to say it according to Lin Bufan's wishes, "Okay, then let's use the means of competition to solve this problem, but what to compare

?”

"My adoptive father said to compare what to compare in the first game, Mr. Zhou said to compare what to compare in the second game, and the junior said to compare what to compare in the third game, is it okay?" Lin Bufan solicited opinions from both sides.

Chu Xiongba nodded readily and agreed.

The pace is on my own.

Zhou Rantian agreed with the idea of ​​believing in Lin Bufan.

Zhou Linlin's mentality has also changed. After all, Lin Bufan is his life-saving benefactor. Compared with the two injured employees, Lin Bufan is indeed much more important.

Both sides said it was OK.
