After Ye Zhengrong's funeral, Ye Qian personally visited Yan Wu's father Zafir. With Ye Qian's current influence in Chinatown, although it was a bit unpleasant, Zafir did not refuse Ye Qian's visit.
Zafir looks like he is only in his forties, but his actual age is almost sixty according to Ye Qianzhi. He wears suits and leather shoes and looks refreshing and capable.
"Ye Qian, the leader of the Chinese Gang, is really young and promising. I wonder what advice you have when you come to me today." Zafir was very polite, like a gentleman.
Ye Qian also gestured politely, and then slowly said: "Congressman Zafir, I am very happy to meet you. Your contribution to our Chinatown is still talked about by the people. I am here because of your reputation."
"You're welcome, this is just my duty as a member of Parliament." Zafir said, and had someone open the bottle of red wine that Ye Qian brought, and gave himself and Ye Qian a glass.
Ye Qian took the red wine handed over by Zafir, nodded slightly, had a drink with Zafir, and then said: "Congressman Zafir, speaking of which, I should call you uncle."
"oh."
Zafir was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "How do you say this?"
Ye Qian knew that Zafir seemed to be easy to talk to now. That was because his personality was like this, approachable. This was also one of the characteristics that many councilors had. Even if he didn't have this personality, he would still pretend to be in such social interactions. from.
But once Ye Qian has any unreasonable request or needs help from this congressman, then things will be different. These congressmen's rebellion is no worse than those fickle women.
Therefore, Ye Qian had no choice but to play the family card, because with the communication of an acquaintance or relative, the goodwill between the two would definitely improve.
"To tell you the truth, when I first arrived here, I was still a homeless vagabond. At that time, I met your daughter Yan Wu. Yan Wu and I were friends, so logically I should call you uncle. Yes." Ye Qian chuckled and explained this relationship.
After listening to Ye Qian's words, Zafir's smile became even brighter as expected, and he said with a smile: "So, you and my daughter Yan Wu are friends, but this girl is older and rarely talks to us elders about some things. Speaking of which, if you hadn’t told me today, I wouldn’t have known you were my daughter’s friend.”
On the surface, Zafir remained calm, but he was slightly shocked in his heart. Of course, he knew his own daughter very well. Yan Wu was the kind of person who could distinguish right from wrong very clearly, and Ye Qian, as the control of the Chinese gang, However, Yan Wu did not reject it, which surprised Zafir somewhat.
"Uncle, I heard from Yan Wu that you are very fond of our Chinese chess and go." Ye Qian changed the topic and after playing the family card, Ye Qian was about to start playing to his liking.
Today's visit, Ye Qian's only purpose is to make Zafir accept himself as a person, at least not to make Zafir hate himself.
"Haha..." Zafir laughed and said: "Yes, influenced by my wife, I am very interested in many things from China, especially chess. I think it is very interesting. It is good for training the brain. , there are certain benefits, but I only study it occasionally, and my poor chess skills make little brother Ye Qian laugh."
Zafir's wife is also Chinese. Influenced by his wife, Zafir really likes many ancient and inherited things from China. He even often travels to China to visit relatives. This is why Zafir will serve as a councilor in Chinatown. One of the reasons.
"That's a coincidence. I also like chess and Go. I wonder if I would be honored to play a few games with you, uncle." Ye Qian looked at Zafir with a smile on his face.
Hearing this, Zafir's smile became even brighter. Although he also knew that Ye Qian was deliberately trying to get closer to him, Zafir did not object. First of all, he felt that Ye Qian could be recognized by his daughter. , then it must have its own unique side. Secondly, Ye Qian is also the controller of the Chinese Gang, and his influence in the entire Chinatown is not small. There is no need for Zafir to be hostile to Ye Qian. This is for him Not a good thing either.
"Okay, let's play a few games." Zafir agreed, and then said: "I have both chess and Go at home, which one should we play first?"
"The guest can do as he pleases." Ye Qian chuckled.
This visit was much better than Ye Qian imagined, especially after the two played a few games of chess and Go. The goodwill between Ye Qian and Zafir increased sharply. Because of the ability of Dao Heart to grow demons, although Ye Qian could not He can accurately guess what Zafir is thinking in his heart, but he also knows when Zafir is really happy and when he is fake.
After mastering this advantageous condition, Ye Qian used his strategy to his advantage. Although it only lasted for more than an hour, before leaving, Zafir personally stood up to see him off. He even called Ye Qian his wise nephew and took the initiative to ask Ye Qian to compete in chess next time.
In the past few days, Ye Qian would come over almost every day to compete with Zafir in chess skills. With Ye Qian's prediction of Zafir's mentality, the two of them went back and forth, and their relationship actually changed.
Ye Qian no longer calls Zafer uncle, but directly calls him brother, while Zafer calls Ye Qian little brother. The relationship between the two is actually a bit like a year-end friendship. What if Yan Wu comes back and finds out about this? I still don’t know what Yan Wuwu said about Ye Qian. After all, the two were friends, but now that Ye Qian and her father are brothers, wouldn’t this generational hierarchy be messed up.
Yan Wu was in special training and has not come back. According to Yan Wu's father, Yan Wu's special training lasted for two months, and now less than half a month has passed.
Ye Qian felt that the time was almost ripe. He made an appointment with Zafir that day instead of visiting him. This time he made an appointment at the chess art museum. This chess art center was opened by Ye Qian specifically for Zafir himself. Today was also the trial of the chess art center. To open the business, ask Zafir to come over and let Zafir preside over the opening ceremony as a ribbon-cutting guest.
Zafir was quite touched when he saw that Ye Qian had opened a chess club. He knew that this chess club would not make much money here. After all, not many people would come here to play chess leisurely, and Ye Qian still does this, probably because of Zafir, a chess enthusiast.
What also made Zafir admire Ye Qian was that Ye Qian opened this chess club for him, but he never mentioned it to him from beginning to end, nor did he say that he would give Zafir shares or anything like that. He only gave Zafir a A VIP card with the highest authority as a reward for the ribbon-cutting guests.
Ye Qian's method made Zafir feel less like Ye Qian bribing him. Instead, it felt like the friendship between brothers. This was one of the reasons why Zafir looked at Ye Qian with admiration.
In general, Zafir and Ye Qian have been getting along until now. Zafir actually likes this young man Ye Qian more and more, and even sees the fighting spirit of himself when he was young.
There were also many guests who came to attend the ribbon-cutting. Among them were the Director of the Public Security Bureau of the Chinese District, Tan Feisi, and the Chief of the Chinese District, Zhong Caiming, and other important government officials from Chinatown. In addition, there were also many representatives from the business community, led by Wang Ping'an. This business elite in Duolun City took the lead. As for the gang, Ye Qian was the controller of the Chinese Gang. Qiu Hanjiang, Hua Hansheng and others also came. What surprised Zafir the most was that he actually saw many Bailey, the daughter of the London Municipal Party Committee Secretary.
Although the entire ribbon-cutting etiquette was a bit crude, judging from the guests who participated, all of them were of great importance and were all important figures in Chinatown. Seeing this, Zafir was also a little surprised by Ye Qian's personal connections.
Ye Qian did so much just to prepare himself for persuading Zafir to cooperate with him. First of all, the relationship between the two was enough to be brothers, and with Yan Wu's relationship, the two of them had this basic sense of trust. No more shortage.
Ye Qian wanted to stand on the same line of interests as Zafiel, and he had a sense of trust, but at the same time, he also needed to have enough ability to make Zafiel feel that Ye Qian could become a partner in terms of interests.
Therefore, Ye Qian called over all the forces he could use in Chinatown, just to make Zafir recognize his connections and abilities.
Ye Qian's goal was obviously achieved. Zafir originally thought that Ye Qian's time in Chinatown to work hard was too short. Although he was still the leader of the Chinese Gang, his foundation was too shallow. Zafir thought that Ye Qian approached him because he hoped to gain With his protection, he can stabilize his career more quickly in Chinatown.
But now that Zafiel saw Ye Qian's connections, and they were not just ordinary friends at all, it seemed that these people were all Ye Qian's people, this made Zafiel look at him with surprised eyes for the first time. Ye Qian, then realized that Ye Qian's ability was much more powerful than he imagined.
No matter which aspect Zafir viewed Ye Qian, he had to admit that Ye Qian's potential was far more than just being the controller of the Chinatown Chinese Gang.
After cutting the ribbon and arranging other guests, Ye Qian invited Zafir to a chess room. There were no outsiders here, just the two of them. There was a chess set in front of them.
"Brother Zafir, thank you for your honor and being able to be the ribbon-cutting guest of my chess club today." Ye Qian politely thanked you.
Zafir shook his head slightly and said: "Brother Ye Qian is so annoying. You and I are both chess lovers. How could I not come if you open a chess studio?"
Ye Qian looked at Zafir's expression. In fact, before the ribbon-cutting, Ye Qian had been paying close attention to every change in Zafir's expression and guessing what was going on in Zafir's heart. Ye Qian knew that if he guessed correctly, this would This conversation will have a good result.
"Brother Zafir, you also know that I am new here and it is not easy for me to take my career further. Therefore, I am so shameless today and want to ask my brother to help me so that my career can go further. Far away." Ye Qian's words already sounded very humble and polite.
Zafir felt the sincerity in Ye Qian, grinned and said: "Brother Ye Qian, you are too humble. If I read it right, you should just be a strong dragon diving. Is there anything you need help from? Yes, just say it."
