Are people from the Sihai Gang looking for Lu Tianlong?
Hearing the waiter's words, Su Lingyue and others had no reaction, but Lu Tianlong narrowed his eyes slightly, and Zhou Xiaobo next to him and Wen Tianhao standing behind also froze in their eyes at the same time!
"The Sihai Gang? What do they do? They are so famous!"
Su Xiaoman laughed next to him, while Zhou Bingbing and others were also somewhat disapproving.
"The name is quite crazy, but it seems like they really have the capital to be crazy!"
Su Yueting, who had not spoken much tonight, suddenly spoke from the side and looked at Lu Tianlong with a strange look.
Lu Tianlong knows about the Sihai Gang.
Zhou Xiaobo, Wen Tianhao, and Su Yueting also knew about the Sihai Gang.
The Sihai Gang is a gang, just like the Tianxiameng, Liuhehui, and Black Tiger Gang, it is a gang in the world.
The only difference is that the Sihai Gang is very big.
How big it is can be described by a famous saying circulated in Taoism.
Wherever there are people, there are rivers and lakes!
Where there is water, there is the Sihai Gang!
The Sihai Gang is the veritable maritime overlord of the entire China.
No one knows where the chief helm of the Sihai Gang is, no one knows who the boss of the Sihai Gang is, and no one even knows when the Sihai Gang was established.
But the Sihai Gang does exist. Inland rivers, outside the sea, there are shadows of the Sihai Gang everywhere.
They are in charge of waterways. As long as there is any business related to water, they have to intervene and take a cut of it.
For example, take the foreign trade business of sea and land.
"Lu Tianlong, what's going on with this Sihai Gang?"
Su Lingyue noticed that the expressions of several people were a little unnatural, and frowned slightly.
Lu Tianlong smiled and said: "It's nothing, he's just a friend. I'll go over and have a chat with him!"
"I'll go with you!" Su Lingyue knew he wasn't telling the truth and stood up immediately.
"Why are you following me? The person looking for me is a man. Are you worried that your man will have sex with others?" Lu Tianlong teased with a smile.
Su Lingyue rolled her eyes at him and insisted: "I want to go!"
"You really don't have to go, I'll go over and chat for a few words and then come back!" Lu Tianlong persuaded politely.
Su Lingyue shook her head resolutely and said: "I said, I want to go!"
"Okay! Since you want to go, then go!" Lu Tianlong knew that this girl had a stubborn temper and could only let him.
After greeting everyone, Lu Tianlong took Su Lingyue and followed the waiter out of the room.
The waiter led the way, walking along the long corridor towards the inside.
"Lu Tianlong, what's going on with the Sihai Gang?" Su Lingyue took two quick steps to catch up with Lu Tianlong and asked in a low voice.
Lu Tianlong thought for a while and said simply and clearly: "It is a super gang that controls waterways. I have only heard of it before, but have never dealt with it."
"A super gang in charge of waterways?" Su Lingyue asked in surprise.
Lu Tianlong nodded and said: "Yes! It is said that as long as there is any business related to the water, they will take a commission!"
"Then they came to you this time because of our foreign trade business?"
Su Lingyue was smart enough to guess the root of the matter.
Lu Tianlong no longer concealed anything, nodded, and said: "I think so too! In short, we will act according to the situation later, and don't think too much. With your man here, I won't be afraid if the sky falls."
"..." Su Lingyue rolled her eyes and felt that she should talk to this guy less in the future, otherwise she would definitely suffer a loss.
The two were taken to the end of the corridor by the waiter, and finally stopped in front of a luxury box.
The waiter knocked on the door, and a calm male voice came from inside.
"Please come in!"
"Mr. Kitano, Lu Tianlong is here!" The waiter opened the door, let Lu Tianlong and Su Lingyue into the box, then carefully closed the door and exited.
In the room, a middle-aged man wearing a gray Chinese tunic suit was sitting on the sofa. He was about forty years old and had a handsome demeanor. He was definitely a handsome young man when he was young.
His hair was neatly combed, his eyebrows were thick, and his appearance was dignified.
"Mr. Lu, Miss Su, please sit down!"
He stood up with a smile and gave way gracefully.
"You know me?"
Su Lingyue was a little surprised. She had a good memory and knew that this must be the first time she met this man.
"Haha! How could I not know about the famous iceberg beauty Su Lingyue, the president of Phoenix Group!"
The middle-aged man smiled heartily and said: "By the way, let me introduce myself. My surname is Kitano, and my single name is Ken. Kitano Ken. This is the first time we meet. Please give me some advice!"
"Ken Kitano?" Su Lingyue frowned slightly and said, "Island people?"
"No, no, no! I am a pure Chinese. I cannot be more pure! Do you think those island people can have a figure like mine?"
Ken Kitano stood up, nearly 1.8 meters tall and with a well-proportioned figure.
Su Lingyue's expression softened slightly.
The two of them also walked to the sofa and sat down, and Kitano Ken personally helped them pour two glasses of red wine.
Lu Tianlong noticed that there were only three red wine glasses on the table, and Kitano Ken seemed to realize that both Lu Tianlong and Su Lingyue would come over.
"Mr. Kitano, I don't know if you came to us today. What's the matter?"
Lu Tianlong leaned on the sofa naturally and smiled.
"Haha, I originally wanted to catch up with you two first, but since Mr. Lu asked, I'll just tell you that I came here today to talk about cooperation with you two."
Kitano said gently.
"Cooperation? Our Phoenix Group doesn't seem to have any business dealings with Mr. Kitano, right?" Su Lingyue frowned slightly.
Kitano Ken smiled slightly and said: "There was no cooperation before, but from the moment Phoenix Group merged with Ascendas Group, our cooperation has begun!"
"What do you mean?" Su Lingyue recalled what Lu Tianlong said on the road just now and frowned.
Kitano Ken did not answer directly and said: "I wonder if you two have heard of the Sihai Gang?"
"Mr. Kitano is from the Sihai Gang?" Lu Tianlong nodded and asked.
"It seems that Mr. Lu has heard of the Sihai Gang, so it will be easy for us to talk!" Kitano Ken smiled and said: "Let me speak openly. In fact, the reason why I came to you today is very simple. I just want to talk to you.
You two have a request!"
"Starting from today, all the profits from your Phoenix Group's foreign trade business via waterways will be shared with our Sihai Gang at 30%!"
"What? You want 30% of the profit? Why?"
Su Lingyue almost jumped up and asked with wide eyes.
Her actions seemed to have been expected by Kitano Ken. He acted very relaxed and said with a smile: "No reason, just because we are the Sihai Gang!"
"You are from the Sihai Gang and I should give you 30%? Impossible! What you are doing is clearly robbery!"
Su Lingyue said directly without any concealment, the other party did nothing but asked for 30% of Phoenix Group's export trade profits. Isn't this robbery?
She originally wanted to walk away, but Lu Tianlong waved his hand to signal Su Lingyue to calm down.
Su Lingyue could only suppress her anger and sit back on the sofa.
"Mr. Kitano, actually I really want to know why you came to us now?" Lu Tianlong said with a smile.
"The reason is actually very simple, because before you merged with Ascendas Group, your strength was still too weak!"
Kitano Ken also said very directly, and the subtext was also very simple: before the Phoenix Group merged with the Ascendas Group, the business was too small, and they, the Sihai Gang, simply looked down upon it.
"The Sihai Gang is indeed very wealthy!" Lu Tianlong nodded.
"Haha, I can't say that I'm rich!" Ken Kitano smiled and shook his head, saying: "But according to the previous turnover of your Phoenix Group, the annual profit is only 300 to 500 million. According to 30% of the profit sharing, it is only tens of millions. We are all over the world.
The Gang really doesn’t take it seriously yet.”
"Do you take it seriously now?"
"That's right!" Kitano Ken nodded and said: "After merging with Ascendas Group, your Phoenix Group's foreign trade business will have an annual profit of about 4 billion. If we share 30%, that's more than a billion, not even
It’s too much, but no matter how small a mosquito is, it’s just a piece of meat, isn’t it?”
Su Lingyue felt that this guy must have something wrong with his head.
Either the donkey kicked me or the door was pinched.
Do you still ignore tens of millions?
A billion dollars is enough to be considered a piece of mosquito meat?
If you blow less, you will die!
Lu Tianlong nodded secretly in his heart.
He had been carefully observing Kitano Ken just now, and every time he said a word, his expression was very natural, without any pretense.
Obviously, more than one billion is an astronomical figure to others, but to Kitano Ken, or to the Sihai Gang, it is indeed not a big deal.
After decades of reform and opening up, China's foreign trade has experienced explosive growth. The annual export volume of foreign trade via waterways is trillions of dollars!
Even if the Sihai Gang controls a small part of it and takes 30% of the profit, that is definitely a jaw-dropping astronomical figure!
Su Lingyue gritted her teeth angrily, while Lu Tianlong always smiled, as if he was really chatting with an old friend.
"Mr. Lu, if you have heard of the Sihai Gang, then you must also know that 30% of profits has always been the rule of our Sihai Gang!" Kitano Ken said.
Lu Tianlong nodded and said, "Well, I've heard of this too! But I only heard about it occasionally, and I don't know the details!"
"If you want to know anything, you can just ask. Since it's cooperation, you have to be sincere!" Kitano Ken said with a smile.
"Okay! I want to know, what can we get by paying 30% of the profit?"
"Haha, Lu Tianlong asked a good question!" Ken Kitano smiled, and then said apologetically: "To be honest, you paid 30% of the profit and got nothing! But..."
"But what?" Su Lingyue asked, clenching her fists.
"But if you don't pay the 30% of the profit, you will lose a lot, far more than the 30% of the profit!" Kitano Ken said calmly.
"Despicable, you are threatening us!"
Su Lingyue finally lost control and slapped the case.
"Mr. Kitano Ken, I don't know your Sihai Gang, nor your so-called rules, nor will I pay you 30% of the profits! I only know that this is a legal society and you will not be tolerated!"
"Oh? So what?" Kitano Ken raised his eyebrows slightly.
Su Lingyue's chest rose and fell rapidly. She was obviously extremely angry. She calmed down, stared into Kitano Ken's eyes and said, "So, I refuse to cooperate with you! Lu Tianlong, let's go!"
After saying that, Su Lingyue turned around and walked towards the door.
Kitano Ken didn't seem surprised at all. He took a leisurely sip of red wine, then looked at Lu Tianlong who also stood up, and said with a smile: "Mr. Lu, what do you mean?"
"What do I mean?"
Lu Tianlong thought for a while and said seriously: "She is my wife. I make the decision on major matters in the family. I listen to her on these small things! If she says she won't cooperate, then she won't cooperate! Finally, I will add: your request
It’s really too much. You can stay wherever it’s cooler!”
After saying that, Lu Tianlong smiled brightly at him, and then walked out of the box with Su Lingyue.
“Where can I stay where it’s cool?”
Kitano Ken smiled, thought for a moment, picked up the phone from the coffee table and dialed a number.
"The talks broke down, and they asked me to just stay and cool down. Just be prepared, as is the old rule, if the soft one doesn't work, then we'll do the hard one!"
