Although Lingnan is a barren place and most people don't have enough to eat, the people in the three major companies have never been affected.

The bandits in Lingnan were fierce by nature and never took the Lu family seriously. They also robbed the chaebol's transport teams at will.

However, they have great respect for the three major companies. As the leaders of several companies often say, a dog that bites its owner will starve to death.

Therefore, the chaebol are not at the top of the Lingnan food chain, but the three major companies are.

The employees of these three companies can be said to be unscrupulous in Lingnan, and they are used to being arrogant, and today they finally fell into the hands of the revolutionary army.

After Ren Jiao killed Secretary Chen's bodyguard with one shot, the surrounding soldiers pointed their guns at the three of them.

"Don't be impulsive! Everyone, don't be impulsive!"

Secretary Chen saw the tense situation between the two sides, and finally realized that his identity as a fortress would not play a protective role in this place. He quickly raised his hand and said to Ren Jiao: "This...sir! When we come here, it's really...

This is for negotiation, and there is no malicious intent at all. Please ask your subordinates to exercise restraint. We are not hostile, right?"

"The chaebol and its lackeys are all our enemies. If you work for the chaebol, you are on the opposite side of me."

Ren Jiao said something coldly, and then walked towards the guard box without looking back.

The revolutionary soldier stared and asked, "Do you still want to talk?"

"Talk!" Secretary Chen came with a mission. He glanced at the corpse on the ground and said to the people around him: "I'll go over to negotiate. You guys wait for me here."

When the three bodyguards heard this, they all looked grateful. For them, it was touching that a senior official like Secretary Chen was willing to take risks alone for them.

Secretary Chen's real thought was that he was afraid that after these three bodyguards followed him, there wouldn't even be anyone with a gun left on their side.

Although these people are definitely no match for those in the Revolutionary Army, having guns in their hands is at least a guarantee.

After a body search, Secretary Chen walked into the simple booth with an awkward smile on his face and nodded to Ren Jiao: "Female officer, do you know what I should call you?"

"It's not important." Ren Jiao sat on the chair and said with a cold face: "Since you are here to negotiate, just put forward your demands directly."

"Okay, do you mind if I smoke a cigarette?" Seeing that Ren Jiao didn't answer, Secretary Chen lit a cigarette and sat across from him: "Sir, the main reason I came here is to talk to you about our Daxia Company.

Regarding the transportation team, tonight in the sky, we had a transportation team transporting supplies to the west of Lingxi, but you stopped it on the southwest side of Qiongling. I came here mainly for this matter."

Ren Jiao asked back: "Our team did not attack your convoy. Is there anything we can talk about?"

"Of course, we are deeply grateful for your willingness to show your favor." Secretary Chen paused and continued: "But our Daxia company is engaged in cross-border trade, and we need to constantly communicate between Lingxi and Xiahou.

To carry out transportation, so..."

"Now our revolutionary army has listed Qiongling as a base area. From today on, we will carry out all-round military control of Qiongling. Qiongling has always been a controversial unclaimed land. We are here and have not harmed anyone.

It is for the interests of the Xiahou clan, but if you plan to forcefully pass through here, it will actually be a threat to us."

Ren Jiao looked at Secretary Chen with cold eyes: "If it were your Xiahou clan, would you allow hostile forces to run rampant in your jurisdiction?"

"Sir, you misunderstood. We are not an official enterprise of the Xiahou family, but a private company, so we will not pose a threat to your army."

Secretary Chen said with a smile: "Also, I know that your army is not very well-off in terms of supplies. If our Daxia Company wants to pass through Qiongling, it will also cause you a lot of trouble. As compensation, we are willing to give you

Provide some living supplies and ask your army to show your support, okay?"

After hearing Secretary Chen's response, Ren Jiao said in a deep voice: "If you want to pass through the revolutionary army's territory, we can agree."

"This is great." Secretary Chen's eyes lit up: "Please rest assured that the materials we promised you will definitely..."

"I haven't finished speaking yet." Ren Jiao interrupted Secretary Chen and continued: "If you want to pass through the Qiongling area, the conditions must be controlled by us. Your Xiahou family's convoy passes through Qiongling. We need all the supplies for the convoy.

Eighty percent is used as toll tax."

"Eighty percent?!"

When Secretary Chen heard this, he choked on the cigarette and coughed repeatedly. For a moment, his mind went blank and he didn't even know what to say.

When Xiahou was negotiating the price with Starlight Company before, the purchase price was 70% higher than the price for the homeless excavation team, but at least it was still profitable.

The revolutionary army, on the other hand, demanded 80% of the supplies of all their convoys.

This means that a large part of the materials they transported to Lingnan or were taken away from Lingnan will be plundered, and these are all taken away by force.

"As you said, it is precisely because your Daxia Company is not a chaebol enterprise that we agree to let you pass. Otherwise, you would not even have a chance to pass."

Ren Jiao and Secretary Chen looked at each other and continued calmly: "Don't think I'm bargaining with you. If you want to pass here, this is a condition that must be met. There is no room for negotiation."

When Secretary Chen heard Ren Jiao's response, he knew in his heart that the negotiation between the two parties had basically broken down at this point, because it was absolutely impossible for Daxia Company to agree to such an outrageous request.

Even though he already had the result in mind, Ren Jiao's actions just now made Secretary Chen's hair stand on end. He kept an attitude of not irritating the other party and said: "Sir, I am a low-key person in Daxia Company, and the conditions you have proposed are beyond what I can do.

The scope of the decision is limited, so I still need to go back and ask my superiors for instructions, do you think that’s okay?”

"Of course, the request was made by us. It doesn't matter even if you refuse." Ren Jiao waved her hands indifferently: "But I have already said it to you, and it can be regarded as a formal notice. From now on, once there is a big event,

If Xia Company's vehicles pass through, we will regard you as having accepted this condition and seize the materials. If any conflicts occur, please do not say it was unforeseen."

After Secretary Chen left the Revolutionary Army station, he called Xia Houjin and cursed: "Mr. Jin, these guys from the Revolutionary Army are just a group of barbarians! They are worse than bandits! I have no need to talk to them at all!"
