Inside the banquet hall of a hotel in Xiang.

Zhang Yongzuo grabbed Lao Lao's hand and said intimately: "Uncle, you have been getting better and better in recent years!"

"I am a idler to support people. In recent years, I have rarely been involved in the union affairs. It is all Ah Mingzai and Li Haocheng who are taking care of it. It's good to be an idle person." Bo Lao replied with a smile.

When Zhang Yongzuo heard this, he suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness in his heart.

"Sit, you sit here." Bo Lao walked to the chair and waved his hand to greet Zhang Yongzuo.

"You drink tea." Zhang Yongzuo personally poured tea for the other party.

After sitting upright, Lao Lao turned around and looked at Zhang Yongzuo and said, "You know the friendship between you and your dad... But to be honest, I don't want to come today."

"What?" Zhang Yongzuo said in a daze.

"Because I know, what do you want to tell me?" Lao Lao replied with a smile.

"Yes, nothing can be hidden from your eyes." Zhang Yongzuo nodded.

"You want to reopen the casino, so you want to get the support of the Dock Union, right?" asked Bo Lao bluntly.

"I have this idea." Zhang Yongzuo responded truthfully.

"Little Azo, your uncle is only two years at most, and he will give way... During this period, I don't want any unstable factors to appear in the dock union." Lao Lao said in a sincere and sincere manner: "I really can't afford to experience this old bone. I just want to work it out as soon as possible and just retire after success."

"I can understand." Zhang Yongzuo nodded.

"You, Marriott, and the Zhou Group's interests are too complicated and fierce. Each of you three parties has political relations behind you. It is really hard for outsiders to get out of here." Bo Lao patted Zhang Yongzuo's arm and said, "So, I will neither express my opinion on your reopening of the casino nor cooperate with the Zhou Group... The Wharf Union will only do its own business in the past two years."

When Zhang Yongzuo heard this, he immediately clasped his fists and said, "Uncle, in fact, you are doing this to help me a lot. As long as you don't cooperate with Zhou's Group, I will have a clear idea."

"That's of course, my old friend and I have been with you for decades. Now that I can't help you, I feel very guilty. Why would I join forces with outsiders to do your business?" Lao Lao sighed and said, "The older the person, the less courageous he is... I hope you, little Azuo, don't look down on me, the old man."

"Uncle, you said that... I am really ashamed. You are old, and I shouldn't think about pulling you in too." Zhang Yongzuo immediately said: "Don't worry, I will never bother you or involve you in the reopening of the casino."

"It's good that I can understand me, haha!" Lao Lao smiled with satisfaction.

"You drink tea, drink tea!" Zhang Yongzuo served diligently.

...

After more than ten minutes.

Lu Tao stood beside the wine table and asked, "What is the attitude of the chairman of this dock union?"

"I am a timid man, and I guess it is impossible for me to stand on the support of us." Zhang Yongzuo said softly: "But he promised me that the Dock Union will not cooperate with the Zhou Group. The old man will retire in two years. He doesn't want to get involved in something that is easy to get involved or difficult to get involved."

"If the dock union can support us, the situation will be ideal." Lu Tao sighed and said, "Their union is very important throughout Yuen, and there are many branches... So, if they are willing to get involved, it will be even more difficult for Zhou's Group to deal with us."

"It's not easy to do." Zhang Yongzuo shook his head: "I understand Bo Lao's personality. He is a career-oriented person. He is very conservative when he was young... and he will not easily get involved in complex interests struggles."

"That's a pity." Lu Tao frowned and sighed.

"Yongzuo!"

Just as the two were chatting, a fat middle-aged man walked over with a smile.

"Uncle!" Zhang Yongzuo immediately stepped forward to greet him.

"What is this?" Lu Tao asked with a smile.

"I'll introduce it to you." Zhang Yongzuo stood among the two: "This is the vice president of the dock trade union, the vice chairman of the Xian G workers' association, and also my father's friend during his lifetime... Li Haocheng."

"Hello!" Lu Tao said with his hand.

"This is the general manager of Shengshi Marriott Group, Lu Tao, the bookmaker." Zhang Yongzuo introduced to Li Haocheng again.

"Hello, hello!" Li Haocheng shook hands with Lu Tao politely.

The three of them met and after a while of greeting, they sat in the side of the banquet hall and immediately talked about the reopening of the casino.

"When will it be officially opened?" Li Haocheng asked with a teacup.

"It is tentatively scheduled to be three days later." Zhang Yongzuo responded with a smile.

"Oh, I originally thought that when you opened your business, I would attend the ceremony on behalf of the workers' association, but Mr. Bo has held a meeting these days and said that the dock union will avoid this matter for the time being, so... if you reopen, I may not be able to go." Li Haocheng patted Zhang Yongzuo's arm and said, "Don't be surprised!"

When Zhang Yongzuo and Lu Tao heard this, they were all stunned.

"...Mr. Li, I just chatted with Yongzuo in private, saying that you are such a powerful organization in the dock union. If you want to cooperate with us and develop casino resources together, will the business be getting bigger and bigger?" Lu Tao felt that Li Haocheng's words just now meant to be close to Zhang Yongzuo, so he immediately seized this opportunity and said: "We have ready-made resources, you have huge social relations, and it is a win-win situation to be together."

"I said that too, but Lao Lao is about to step down and is very cautious in doing things." Li Haocheng responded helplessly: "So I can't say anything else. After all, Lao Lao is the president, and we all respect him very much."

"That's a pity." Lu Tao paid attention to the other party's expression, stretched out his feet and kicked Zhang Yongzuo.

Zhang Yongzuo understood it and immediately asked with a smile: "Old man will retire in two years. At that time, Uncle will have the chance to be elected president."

"...I'm going to be elected as the president. The first thing I do is to develop this casino with you, Azuo." Li Haozhen immediately responded: "It's not the 1970s and 1980s. Look at the port, there are tens of thousands of tons of freighters, and most of them are used for semi-mechanized equipment... Workers are laid off one after another. If they still run the union in the previous way, where will the money come from? How can the interests of members be guaranteed?"

"This is right!" When Zhang Yongzuo heard that there was a chance, he immediately followed the topic and talked about it.

"Haocheng, Bo Lao called you." Just as the three of them were having fun chatting, A Mingzai suddenly came over and shouted.

Li Haocheng glanced at Ah Mingzai, then smiled and said to Zhang Yongzuo: "I have something to do, let's talk back."

"Okay!" Zhang Yongzuo nodded.

After saying that, Li Haocheng stood up and followed Ah Mingzai toward Lao Lao.

On the sofa, Zhang Yongzuo said happily: "Li Haocheng feels close to us, which is a good thing."

"It's too long." Lu Tao shook his head and replied: "He wants to be the president. If he passes the normal election, it will take at least two years, but the Zhou Group will not give us this time to develop."

Zhang Yongzuo was stunned when he heard this.

"Unless something unexpected happens, Li Haocheng can suddenly take over the position of the president." Lu Tao smiled and looked up at Zhang Yongzuo.

After hearing this, Zhang Yongzuo sweated coldly: "Mr. Lu, accidents are absolutely indispensable... This is a taboo, you can't touch it!"

"Haha!" Lu Tao smiled: "I just said that."

Zhang Yongzuo looked at Lu Tao, and the feeling of fear in his heart could not help but surged into his heart again. He felt that the other party's reaction was too fast when he encountered problems. He could only think of countless feasibility after chatting with Li Haocheng for a few short words...

"You stay, I'll go to the toilet."

Lu Tao greeted Zhang Yongzuo, turned around and walked towards the bathroom. But he said he was going to the bathroom, but in fact he wanted to stay alone for a while and digest the information he got tonight.

Standing next to the window outside the bathroom, Lu Tao lowered his head and took out the cigarette box.

"Tread!"
