Chapter 1005: Cracks in Friendship
Lu Meng's words made the atmosphere in the room feel awkward.
Now Ning Zhe has reached a verbal cooperation with the Pei family, and the conditions offered by the Pei family are to purchase Starlight Company's materials at an amount seven times higher than the average price. According to their external selling prices,
It is equivalent to taking away 30% of Starlight Company's profits.
The reason why Ning Zhe did not consider the Pei family at all was because he was not prepared to cede his interests to any force.
But now that Ms. Lu wants to take 30% of the profit when she opens her mouth, it is exactly the same as Mr. Pei's idea.
Even Lu's conditions are more stringent than Pei's, because if Ning Zhe wants to develop in Lingnan, he needs various materials provided by the other three chaebols. If he cannot monopolize the market, all current efforts will be
All will be in vain.
In order to establish Starlight Company, Ning Zhe has invested a lot of materials, and the gold in his hand is thrown away like water.
Mr. Pei wants to take 30% of Starlight Company's profits, mainly to suppress the other two companies. At the very least, he should use real money to trade with Starlight Company.
On the other hand, the Lu family has never been involved in Lingnan's business, and they don't have to participate in the transaction, let alone pay anything. Now they ask for 30% of the profit. This is completely demanding, or in other words, taking advantage of the situation.
.
If Ning Zhe wants to control other bandits, he naturally needs a large amount of food. If the other party wants to squander Starlight Company's profits because of this batch of moldy food, it is completely rogue behavior.
If it were another chaebol who proposed this condition, Ning Zhe would definitely agree without hesitation, because he could choose not to fulfill his promise.
But if this matter comes out of Lu Meng's mouth, then the taste will be completely different. If Ning Zhe turns against Lu, he will definitely cheat Lu Meng, the middleman.
On the other hand, if he agreed to Lu Meng's conditions, it would mean that he would really have to give up nearly one-third of his profits.
Seeing Ning Zhe's expression change, Lu Meng sighed and said, "I know this matter will make it difficult for you, but these 30% of profits are the bottom line for Lu's side. If Starlight Company wants to survive in Lingnan, this is a
Conditions that must be agreed to. I know the word must makes you feel uncomfortable, but that is the fact.
However, the chaebol does not simply want to take the profits of Starlight Company. They also set some conditions. The first point is that Starlight Company will no longer be regarded as a bandit by the Lu family and treated as a terrorist organization. That is to say
, although the guards of Starlight Company will not be protected by Lu's law, they will not be targeted.
The second condition is that after Starlight Company establishes a foothold in Lingnan, Lu will recognize Starlight Company's legal status. Once recognized by the chaebol, Starlight Company's status will undergo a qualitative change. You know this.
There is also a third point, which is that the Lu family will not only provide you with this batch of grain, but also conduct long-term trade with the Starlight Company. However, the conditions are a bit harsh, that is, the Lu family will only sell old grain and brown rice according to the high quality.
The price of grain is sold to you.
But I want to explain to you that before this, the Lu family has never sold food to the refugee areas. They are willing to trade with you, and recognize the status of Xingguang, allowing you to survive on the Lu family's territory. They have set many precedents.
, and you can’t refuse this.”
"Can't refuse?" Ning Zhe frowned slightly after listening to Lu Meng's words: "Do you know what you are talking about? Starlight Company does not belong to me alone, it is a ship for a group of us to live and work on! And you
Now let me remove the planks from this ship and use them to repair Lu's house, do you think it's appropriate?"
"Ning Zhe, you have to be clear about one thing. Even the three major companies, Glory, Oxygen, and Dark Horse, all need to rely on chaebols for their existence. If you astral bodies want to survive on the Lu family's territory, it is impossible for you to get nothing. This condition,
I have already promised on your behalf. If you choose to refuse, you will be making an enemy of the Lu family." Lu Meng and Ning Zhe looked at each other: "Now your Xingguang Company is besieged on all sides. Once you have another enemy like the Lu family, you will
You know what will happen."
"Can I understand this as a threat from you to me?" Ning Zhe saw Lu Meng speaking so nakedly and clenched his fist slightly: "You made the decision for me and agreed to this condition, I'm afraid it's not just
In order to help us, right? The Lingnan banditry itself is a problem for the Lu family. We are willing to fight against the three major companies. You, the Lu family, have already taken a big advantage. Now you want me to work hard for you, the Lu family.
Drinking our blood, don’t you think this is too much?”
Ning Zhe's anger at this moment was not only because of Lu's attitude, but also because of Lu Meng's.
He knew that Lu Meng was an ambitious person, and he also knew that he was also worried about the banditry in Lingnan. If he could promise the 30% of the benefits on behalf of Ning Zhe, he would definitely have the idea of helping Starlight Company stabilize the situation, but if Lu Meng
Ning Zhe would never believe that he did this without considering Lu and his own career. Even though he didn't want to use Starlight Company as a stepping stone, he did step on Starlight Company to get there, and he was forcing Starlight Company to do so.
Tied with Lu.
"I admit that even without the Lu family, your Starlight Company can choose to cooperate with other chaebols, but in that case, you can only become their agent in Lingnan and become a large-scale gangster with the title of the company, forever
If you fail to achieve your goals and cooperate with Lu, you will suffer some loss of profits, but I can also give you a guarantee, that is, no matter when, Lu will never stab your Starlight Company in the back! At least!
As long as I'm here, this kind of thing won't happen."
Lu Meng paused and continued to add: "Even if you don't think about yourself, you should think about your friends. Do you still remember that I once promised you that I would give Su Fei some help after the Battle of Qiongling?"
A living space, when so many of them are stationed in Qiongling, it will consume a lot of resources to feed people and horses, and the revolutionary army has no ability to be self-sufficient. With your character, you will never sit idly by.
, but before that, if you don’t even have the ability to support yourself, how can you help him?”
"Lu Meng, can power really make you change so much?" Ning Zhe heard Lu Meng say these words and looked at him in disbelief: "You actually threaten me with your friends?"
"You are my friend, but Su Fei is not!" Lu Meng shook his head: "I just stood from the perspective of a friend and reminded my friend to think about his friends. I know this makes you feel uncomfortable. As a
