Five hundred and sixtieth chapters
As the newly rising overlord of Qionghua City, and the tycoon who has been entrenched in the dock for more than ten years, the two of them sat in a restaurant and did not show any murderous intent. Net
When the two met for the first time, they were like old friends for many years. Plus there was Lu Qinyun, who was indeed an old friend with Li Yongba.
After Li Yongba finished speaking, he looked at Tao Tian.
Tao Tian took a sip of Li Yongba's bottle of wine, and then said with a smile: "If you can make money without bleeding, who wouldn't want to?"
"Yeah, I've been thinking about it for a long time. Cobra has a lot in common with the Nanquan Gang back then. Cobra has King Kong, Meng Hu, Hong Bandit, Lin Quan, Lin De, and the Qin family's five tigers, a total of 20
A group of brothers who fought for the country. In the Nanquan Gang, there was also a brother who kowtowed at the dock.[
The 20 brothers of Cobra love each other very much and have never turned against each other. The one kowtowing brother in the Nanquan Gang has gone through 13 years and has never turned against each other till now.
So, when Cobra and the Southern Fist Gang really fight, I think the blood on the ground will definitely make me regret it."
Tao Tian nodded: "So, you are sending gangsters to harass my logistics station as a warning."
"Well, I have investigated you and know that you are super strong, and that the Gu family and the He family are behind the scenes. But I can tell you that if the cobra comes, even if I die, the remaining 17-year-old sworn brothers will definitely be hurt.
Without me, the Nanquan Gang will still be the Nanquan Gang, just like the Cobra will still exist without you, unless the two gangs fight to death."
After listening to what Li Yongba said, Tao Tian pondered for a while, then raised his head and said, "But I have decided to intervene in the dock business."
"Then we can only wish us good luck." Li Yongba stood up, said goodbye to Tao Tian, and extended his hand to shake.
Tao Tian stood up and shook hands with him.
"Husband, do you really want to start a war?"
After seeing Li Yongba leave, Lu Qinyun said.
"Li Yongba was not simple back then. Aunt Mei took action at a loss and even moved out of Meizhuang before he ran away in despair. After that, even the Xiao family, which dominated Qionghua City, had to make a non-aggression oath with him.
.But now, he has learned to be restrained, and he is even more restrained than he was back then."
How could Tao Tian not know in his heart that what he was afraid of was not Li Yongba, but the entire Nanquan Gang. Just like the Du family, they were not afraid of Tao Tian. No matter how cruel Tao Tian was, he would be too cruel. The Du family also
Taboo the whole cobra.
Tao Tian knew that Li Yongba had already paid the bill for them, so he pulled Lu Qinyun away and said with a smile: "If Li Yongba had been as restrained as he is now, would you have been chased by him?"
Lu Qinyun rolled her eyes at him: "Where are there so many ifs? Then why didn't you ask if I would have married Lu Tian's father if you had been born a few more years, but instead married you?"
Tao Tian smiled coquettishly, led Lu Qinyun away, and then put the note that Li Yongba handed him when he shook hands with him into his pocket.
On the third day after Tao Tian and Li Yongba met, Luo Yuxia's logistics station at the dock was completely smashed, and the injured brother retreated to the city with his troops.
On the fourth day, a warehouse owned by Shuoshun Company was smashed, and several trucks transporting goods had an accident on the road.
On the fifth day, several bars in the city were smashed one after another.
The sixth day...the tenth day...
On the eleventh day, 6 of the brothers who were sworn to by the Nanquan Gang disappeared.[
Cobra's deputy hall leaders, Wang Shanxi, Wei Cheng, Yang Hong, and Li Yun disappeared.
On the fifteenth day, all the senior executives of Shuoshun Company represented by the Nanquan Gang disappeared, and the company was almost paralyzed.
Cobra's three hall leaders, including Lin Quan, Lin De, and Hu Xiaolong, have disappeared, and Tongtian Company's headquarters has been shut down.
A month later, Tao Tian and Li Yongba disappeared one after another, and the entire gang in Qionghua City almost killed each other to the point of death.
…
On the sea surface of the pier, three people appeared on a certain yacht, Tao Tian, Hong Wu, and Li Yongba.
The three of them clinked glasses, drank and talked and laughed.
Tao Tian said: "Brother Hongwu, will the named successor of your old Hongmen really enter Qionghua City?"
Hong Wu smiled and nodded silently. Then he looked at Li Yongba.
Li Yongba also smiled and said nothing.
Back on the day when Tao Tian and Li Yongba met in the restaurant, after the two shook hands and said goodbye, Li Yongba gave Tao Tian a note.
It read: "Hongwu informed us that Hong Zhi, the successor named by the old Hongmen, has sent people over and is targeting us at this time."
The reason why Li Yongba knew Cobra was because of Hong Wu.
Back to the beginning.
The Du family has to surrender to the Ax Gang in order to join the Qionghua City and compete with the Xiao family.
As for the old Hongmen, they chose Li Yongba, the powerful man in the dock.
Obviously, the Du family wants to occupy Qionghua City, and Hongmen is unlikely to be interested. However, compared to the Du family, Hongmen's human and financial resources are slightly inferior.
Therefore, after Hongmen reached an agreement with Li Yongba, they did not act rashly. Instead, they acted as fishermen and waited for the Du family and the Xiao family to fight first.
Unexpectedly, the dark horse Cobra suddenly emerged.
This is one of the reasons why Hongwu was able to meet Tao Tian in Qionghua City and rescue him. Because of Li Yongba's cover, Hongwu could come to Qionghua City at any time for activities.
The Xiao family and the Du family participated in the war with the Ax Gang, until the Ax Gang was eliminated by Cobra, and Cobra took the position of the Ax Gang. Hong Wu and Li Yongba saw all this.
However, they did not know the identity of the cobra head at the beginning.[
Later, Hongwu helped Tao Tian to drive away the Du family and chose Tao Tian to be the overlord of Qionghua City.
Hongwu's actions showed his shrewdness, because he allowed Tao Tian to be the overlord of Qionghua City and Li Yongba to continue to be his dock tycoon. In this way, Qionghua City would not let one person cover the sky with one hand.
It's very simple. If one person can cover the sky with one hand and become the emperor of a place, he will no longer rely on external forces.
In other words, if Li Yongba and Tao Tian are in the same city and the same dock, then there will always be a gap for both the Hongmen and the Du family to enter Qionghua City in the future.
This is also the brilliance of the old gang's methods. It should be said that when Hongwu did this, the senior officials of the old Hongmen were involved in the decision-making.
Hongwu did this because of complicated factors. First, he was not the designated successor of the old Hongmen, so he did not want to capture Qionghua City and make a wedding dress for the successor of Hongmen.
Secondly, he did not let Li Yongba occupy the urban area because he saved Tao Tian's life, and Tao Tian owed him. Therefore, if he allowed Tao Tian to occupy the urban area, he would always be able to repay him in the future. The matter of Macau is
Give back.
Besides, Li Yongba is no longer the reckless man he once was. Even if he wanted to dominate the entire Qionghua City and kill Cobra and the Du family when both sides were hurt, he couldn't guarantee a 100% victory. Secondly,
Old Hongmen would not let him dominate Qionghua City alone, and he knew this very well.
Therefore, he chose to continue to be his dock hero and enjoy life. Although people are insatiable animals, sober people will restrain their insatiable ambitions at the wrong time.
…
The plan kept changing quickly. When Hongwu invited Tao Tian to Macau several times, he must have wanted him to repay the favor of saving his life. However, Tao Tian guessed this after receiving his invitation at the time.
But at that time, Tao Tian knew that he wouldn't be able to help much if he went there, that is to say, the time was not yet ripe.
It was not until Tao Tian accepted Luo Yingying, gained the support of the Luo family, and helped the Meng and Tang families to resolve their grievances that the time was ripe.
It can be said that Tao Tian fell in love with Luo Yingying, firstly because of her beauty, and secondly, because he wanted the Luo family to be his backer, so that when he encounters trouble in the future, the Luo family can help him.
After that, Tao Tiancai went to Macau and gave Hong Wu such a big gift, giving him full authority to take over Hong Men's business in Macau, which gave him his own foundation.
After Hongwu gained a foundation in Macau, his status among Hongmen changed, which made Hongzhi, Hongmen's designated successor, feel a crisis.
Although Hong Wu and Hong Zhi are the same family, internal fighting over the family's inheritance rights is common. Jiang Wengui is also the kind of bad guy who has subdued other brothers and sisters in the Jiang family who want to fight for the inheritance rights.
However, Tao Tian did not catch up with Jiang Wengui's bloody battle, but caught up with Hong Wu's.
After Tao Tian helped Hong Wu gain a foothold in Macau, Hong Zhi was very unhappy. He had originally blacklisted Hong Wu, but he also included Tao Tian on the list.
However, due to the strength of the Du family and the existence of the Hongmen gang of old guys, Hong Zhi has never taken action.
But now, the Du family was disturbed by Tao Tian some time ago, and coupled with the joint counterattack of other gangs, the Du family chose to rest and recuperate. Now, it is indeed his turn to take action.
Although Tao Tian did many shocking things to the Du family, which made Hong Zhi a little taboo, but when his succession was in danger, Hong Zhi had to take action.
If people in this circle are so intimidated by the reputation of someone who has done a few things that they become a coward, then you should stop hanging around.
Tao Tian and Hong Wu became allies. This was one of the reasons why Hong Zhi wanted to kill Tao Tian. The second reason was that if Hong Zhi could occupy Qionghua City and use Qionghua City as a base to deal with Hong Wu, then Hong Wu would be nothing.
Already.
Therefore, if Hong Zhi wants to capture Qionghua City, it is imperative to kill Tao Tian.
In addition, the Du family has been dormant recently, but Tao Tian has devoted all his efforts to develop the company, transportation, and real estate have fully blossomed. Hong Zhi took action to prevent him from getting stronger.
Hong Zhi's handiwork is much greater than that of Hong Wu. This time he not only wants to kill Tao Tian, but also wants to kill Li Yongba and unify the dock and the city.
As for the dock, Hong Zhi had already sent people over. After all, the dock was full of people and snakes, so it would be easier for Hong Zhi to send people over to monitor.
Therefore, Tao Tian and the others played a trick. Pretending to fight with Li Yongba, both sides suffered losses. The heads of both sides deliberately disappeared one by one. In the eyes of outsiders, it was like the two sides were kidnapping and assassinating each other.
Now, let yourself be in the dark and let the Hong Zhi who was originally in the dark emerge from the water.
But even so, Hong Wu still said: "My cousin Hong Zhi is not simple. Brother Tao Tian, if you can compete with Yaoyue, I'm afraid you will have to work harder this time."
"Why, you think you are lying about Brother Yongba?" Tao Tianbei said.
"Okay, okay, don't use me against you. If I can beat you, how about I win? The problem is that you don't have to compete with me. I can't beat Yaoyue at all." Li Yongba obviously knew a lot.
Afterwards, the two men said something that surprised Tao Tian even more.
