"Okay." Li Tengfei said to Zhang Youbin: "Mr. Zhang, let's go."
Zhang Youbin saw that the matter was done, and had no idea of staying and drinking and chatting with a few old men, so he nodded, stood up and said to a few people: "Okay, everyone, I will take my leave now. I will drink with you another day when I have time."
."
Everyone at the table also stood up, and after smiling and saying some kind words to Zhang Youbin, Zhang Youbin and Li Tengfei said goodbye and left together.
"Mr. Zhang, have you driven here?" Li Tengfei asked Zhang Youbin on the way out.
Zhang Youbin nodded, took out the car key, put it on his finger, shook it and said, "It's open. Come and drive. I don't know where it is."
Li Tengfei nodded and said with a smile: "That's just right, I didn't drive here, the car has been parked at home." Then Li Tengfei said jokingly: "I haven't dared to touch my car during this period, for fear of something going wrong."
"Haha." Zhang Youbin laughed and said: "Okay, nothing will happen from now on. I will ask you to come out for a drink when I have time. You have a good drinking capacity."
Li Tengfei hurriedly smiled and said: "That's right, Brother Zhang, your drinking capacity is not bad. You drank a lot and nothing happened."
While they were talking, the two of them had already walked to the car. Li Tengfei opened the cab and sat in. After Zhang Youbin got in, he immediately started the car and drove towards 5LIVE. Li Tengfei was a little excited. He hadn't been like this for a long time.
It was easy.
"Mr. Zhang..." Li Tengfei said in the car while driving.
Zhang Youbin stretched out his hand to interrupt him and said with a smile: "We are about the same age. You don't need to call me so different. Just call me by my name."
Li Tengfei smiled slightly and said, "That's still not good. How old are you this year?"
"Almost 25." Zhang Youbin said.
"I just turned 24, and my 24th birthday was last month." Then, Li Tengfei said to Zhang Youbin: "You are older than me, from now on I will call you Brother Zhang."
Zhang Youbin nodded slightly and said nonchalantly: "Okay, anyway, you are younger than me, so you can call me whatever you want, as long as you don't call it so orthodox, as you come and go, and it sounds boring."
"Haha." Li Tengfei laughed and said, "You're right. Young people like us hate this the most. Brother Zhang, you can just call me Tengfei from now on. You can also call me Xiaofei."
"By the way, Tengfei." Zhang Youbin asked: "What are you doing in East China?"
Li Tengfei smiled and said: "I just learned something from my dad and Uncle Sun. At first, I came out to watch the casinos. Later, I felt that our East China Gang's casino in Macau had a better future at that time, so I took charge of it.
, If it weren’t for this, maybe the two of us wouldn’t have known each other.”
"Yeah." Zhang Youbin nodded, remembering the casino shares that Fourth Master gave him before, and smiled: "You mentioned the casino, I will also take some time to go to Macau to see the casino that cooperates with the Highfield family.
The Fourth Master has given me all the Chinese shares, and I haven’t had time to go over and make arrangements yet. I’ll stop by to meet Master Ding and Jenny.”
"Master Ding?" Li Tengfei said with a little embarrassment on his face: "To be honest, it seems now that I am really sorry for Master Ding. I even planned to kidnap his daughter. If you hadn't appeared in time, Brother Zhang, I would have died.
It was a big mistake, and it almost killed you last time in the Middle East."
Zhang Youbin looked at Li Tengfei and asked with interest: "Then do you regret it now?"
"Regret?" Li Tengfei shook his head and smiled: "To be honest, there was nothing to regret at the beginning. When you join this industry, you must abide by the rules of this industry. I am a member of the East China Gang. Boss Sun has a destiny, so I must do whatever it takes."
, I understand this very well, but I was too confused at the time and did not see the real side of it clearly, so I ended up in failure in the end."
"Very good." Zhang Youbin smiled approvingly: "Having the courage to take risks is much better than others."
Li Tengfei shook his head and said: "I grew up in this environment, so I understand these principles. I had already thought about it before embarking on this path. As long as I work hard, I can accept whatever the final result is.
"
"Then what are you going to do in the future?" Zhang Youbin asked with interest.
Li Tengfei thought for a moment and said with a smile: "To put it bluntly, since I don't have those old festivals with Brother Zhang, I will go back to do the work I need to do from tomorrow on. Now the East China Gang is basically a mess.
, it’s time to tidy things up.”
Zhang Youbin said: "Actually, there is no big conflict between the East China Gang and Yanjing. The two sides have always ruled across the river without interfering with each other, and neither of them has the ability to continue to expand to the opposite side. It was just in the casino some time ago.
There were differences on the issue, which led to the fight over drugs..."
Zhang Youbin paused and then said: "The current situation has basically stabilized. Losing the right to compete in Macau is just a failure of expansion for the East China Gang, not its own loss. In fact, the North and South two families can definitely unite.
, we have not yet reached the point of 100% monopoly in our respective territories, let alone the southwest and northwest? If the forces of the entire third echelon of China are combined and the north and south are no longer separated, then it will not be possible to rule the national underworld in the underground society.
What a difficult thing."
No matter how ambitious Li Tengfei was, he never thought that he would one day rule the entire underground world. He said without doubt: "Although your idea is good, there are too many difficulties involved. Just talk about these two centers."
The problem is that one is Zhonghai and the other is Yanjing. On one side is Uncle Sun and on the other is Fourth Master Qiao. It is impossible for these two people to allow each other to be on an equal footing with themselves. When the time comes, the two core figures can unite with each other. Once there are differences, they will again
Tear this whole thing apart along the Yangtze River."
"You are right." Zhang Youbin nodded and said: "It is difficult to achieve equalization of interests. In this case, there will inevitably be some contradictions and differences. There is no room for two tigers in one mountain. I naturally understand this truth, but what if there is only one tiger?"
"A tiger?!" Li Tengfei asked in surprise: "Do you want to choose one between the two of them? I'm afraid that wouldn't be good. No matter which side you choose, the other party will be dissatisfied."
Zhang Youbin smiled and said indifferently: "Whether you accept it or not, it is not a question of who will act as the tiger, but who can bring more benefits to everyone!" Zhang Youbin then said: "Those who come out to fool around will always be
Put interests first, and loyalty is also based on interests. Only when interests are firmly established can there be so-called loyalty. Of course, I am talking about most situations."
"Moreover." Zhang Youbin said with a smile: "I don't want one of the tigers to disappear and let the other one come forward. If I create a dragon on the heads of these two tigers, a dragon that towers over them, like this
Wouldn't that be OK? Yanjing and China Shipping are like two branches of a company. Each has jurisdiction over its own area, is given certain autonomy rights, and then uses collective interests to tightly bind them together. In this way
If so, who else would object?"
Li Tengfei unknowingly pulled over the car, sat in his seat and pondered for a moment, raised his head and stared at Zhang Youbin and asked: "Brother Zhang, do you want to be that dragon?!"
Zhang Youbin smiled slightly and said calmly: "I'm not interested. I promised many people that if they quit this circle, I will satisfy them, but this doesn't mean that I don't have to have any contact with this person anymore. As for who
It’s too early to say whether to be this dragon, it’s just an idea of mine.”
Li Tengfei nodded slightly and said: "Actually, you already have this ability now. I am very clear about your status in Yanjing. In other words, although Yanjing still seems to be the world of Fourth Master Qiao, he no longer has
Any chips that can maintain one's status, drugs, casinos, these basically have nothing to do with him. If you want to get rid of him, it is really easy. When the time comes, he will either be the one who is suppressed by the dragon.
Tiger, or just abandon everything."
Zhang Youbin did not speak, but began to look forward to Li Tengfei's next words.
Li Tengfei said after a moment: "The situation of the East China Gang has been very embarrassing recently. The main income is drugs, which have been at a huge loss before, as well as nightclubs and various projects."
After a pause, Li Tengfei said: "The profit of the nightclub is neither much nor too little. It is a very embarrassing situation. You have to feed your subordinates, because only when they have full stomachs can they have the strength to help you; you also have to ensure that everyone
The bosses in the field give you a commission to ensure that they will continue to serve you "loyally". So although you can make a lot of money, the money sent to you is basically just scratching the surface and has no effect. "
"Although various projects make money and are basically not affected by the drug business, you have to continue to spend huge maintenance fees on your network. The larger the gang, the more money it spends on it. Only then can they
It doesn’t matter what kind of predicament you are facing now, they will only help you if you have money. If you don’t have money, they may knock you down the next day..."
Li Tengfei talked at length and talked about his understanding of the East China Gang to the extent that he was as familiar as a treasure trove.
"All the expenses of the gang have not been reduced by a penny, and the huge profits from drugs have turned into constant losses. The East China Gang would rather fill the profits from other incomes into the big pit of drugs. It absolutely cannot
Allowing the drug market to be so depressed... This is like bailing out the market at all costs. The East China Gang has long been unable to do what it wants."
Li Tengfei suddenly asked Zhang Youbin: "Brother Zhang, if I guess correctly, you cut off the supply of goods to the East China Gang from the middle, right?"
"That's right." Zhang Youbin smiled slightly and nodded lightly.
"I knew it." Li Tengfei smiled self-deprecatingly and said: "At that time, we cut off Fourth Master Qiao's goods. He had no way to do anything. How could he have the ability? Our supply of goods was blocked, and the people on the road were blocked.
Everyone knows that you brought the goods from the north back from Golden Crescent, so I think you also have control over the lifeblood of the East China Gang now."
Zhang Youbin did not hide it, and said with a smile: "You are right, I do have control over the drug import and export of the East China Gang, so I dare to tell Boss Sun to ensure that their entry rate is at least 50%."
"Of course, you can withdraw this promise at any time, right?" Li Tengfei looked at Zhang Youbin and said, "You are giving us a way out, why are you doing this? I believe that even if you are not on good terms with us, you will know
We can't take the initiative to find trouble for you. Since you did this, there must be something you need Huadong to do, right?"
Zhang Youbin didn't mind Li Tengfei's straightforwardness. He nodded and said with a smile: "It's true that I want the East China Gang to be of use to me, but now I don't even know what I need the East China Gang to do for me.
