Lu Shanmin's current relationship with Luo Xing is very subtle. The Rose Bar and the three bars on Zhigang Avenue all have Luo Xing's shares. This is considered a partnership, but Luo Xing is actually attached to Chen Ran, although this attachment is not very
Close, but also similar to the relationship between North Korea and China hundreds of years ago.
The relationship between Chen Ran and him is also very subtle, with conflicts and estrangements. Now it can be regarded as a tacit partnership to a certain extent. What's more important is that it also involves the Hai family's calculations against him.
This proves the old saying in the business world, ‘There are no eternal friends and no eternal enemies, only eternal interests’.
It can be said that most of the reasons why he has reached this stage are due to the Hai family. Zuoqiu once said that apart from the fact that Hai Donglai fell in love with Ruan Yu by accident, the Hai family was involved in every step he took.
Even if the incident between Hai Donglai and Ruan Yu did not cause him to hate the Hai family, Lu Shanmin still had no good impression of the Hai family. On the surface, the Hai family seemed to be supporting him, but whenever he encountered a life-or-death crisis, the Hai family always ignored him.
, no matter what the reason is, it can at least show that the Hai family does not care about his life or death. It can even be said that the several times he was on the verge of life and death were all caused by the Hai family.
Therefore, he has always been wary of the Hai family.
Although Luo Xing has a strong aura of being a gangster, he is also a person who puts interests first. When facing the Hai family and him, if the Hai family does have evil intentions against him, Lu Shanmin can be sure that he will choose the Hai family instead of himself.
Therefore, Lu Shanmin is not willing to get involved too much with Luo Xing. God knows whether he will be a pawn of the Hai family to plot against him again.
Lu Shanmin originally thought that Luo Xing called him because he wanted to lend him a loan at high interest rates. After all, the news about him cutting off the loan had spread in the building materials market. Luo Xing could not have known about it.
However, Luo Xing's phone call did not mention lending, nor did he propose to invest in the Building Materials City. Obviously, Haijia did not tell him about the upcoming development of Baihui District, otherwise Luo Xing would definitely have a hand in it given his character.
I just wanted to express my congratulations and thanks to Lu Shanmin for moving to Changzan. After all, Changzan was also secretly engaging in loan sharking and affecting his interests.
The second step was to ask Lu Shanmin if he knew that Pengcheng Group's properties near Baihui District had been experiencing frequent problems in the past two days.
Luo Xing's power in Baihui District is not smaller than him, and to some extent, it is even greater than him. If something happens to Pengcheng Group's industry in Baihui District, it will definitely contact the local forces to solve it. Chen Wanlin and Ma Sen are here
If there is no way, they will definitely look for Luo Xing. Obviously the other party has already found Luo Xing.
Lu Shanmin did not deny it. If he had, Luo Xing would act without scruples. His long-term debt collectors are much more professional than those gangsters. Chen Wanlin and Ma Sen may not necessarily be their opponents.
But he didn't admit it, he just said lightly that he would not make it easy for anyone who made it difficult for him.
Luo Xing was a smart man, he would not do anything that would hurt both sides, not to mention that there was a Hai family in the middle who could not figure out the situation. As long as Chen Ran did not nod, he believed that Luo Xing would not act rashly.
Lu Shanmin sent Lu Shuang home, who had not yet completely calmed down. He comforted her and told her to have a good rest. She had been too tired both mentally and physically these past two days.
Back home, various pieces of information were constantly coming together. All the industries of Pengcheng Group in the vicinity of Baihui District were affected. Especially the real estate development project of Bihai Bay, where the nails were placed right on the entire construction site.
several key locations.
Cutting off water, electricity, and road closures did not solve the problem of Pengcheng Group, because there was a steady stream of "good Samaritans" outside sending various supplies. The Lushan people did not calculate how much Lushan people would lose every day a multi-billion-dollar project was delayed. That was Pengcheng Group's problem.
Things that Cheng Group should be concerned about.
Some things become more chaotic when you are anxious, and the more chaotic you are, the more anxious you become.
Sitting quietly on the sofa, after a few days of mental stress and worry, I have now calmed down.
He couldn't help but think about what he would do if he were the chairman of Pengcheng Group, or if he were Lin Chaoyang, facing such a situation.
In this world, money can accomplish anything. This is probably what the rich think. They can pay the local forces to come forward, but under the current situation, the local forces in Parkway District will not accept his money.
It is even more impossible to go through the legal process. It is not a matter of winning or losing. These gangsters are just meat. It is not a problem to be detained for a few days. It is useless to win the lawsuit. The time lost in the process is money.
So no matter whether you win or lose, you have already lost in the legal process.
When there is no other way, waiting is not a solution. At this time, the Lin family should be more anxious than him.
No matter what kind of person Lin Chaoyang is, the Lin family is always a businessman, and Lu Shanmin believes that businessmen will make the most correct choice.
After thinking about these joints, Lu Shanmin relaxed and entered the bathroom to take a relaxing hot bath.
The bathroom was divided into wet and dry areas. Lu Shanmin walked out of the bathroom wearing a pair of underwear, wiping his hair in front of the mirror, and suddenly realized something was wrong.
Going hunting in the mountains since he was a child made him develop the habit of paying special attention to the surrounding environment. He clearly remembered that there was a half-foot-wide gap in the middle of the balcony curtains, but at the moment, the curtains reflected in the mirror were tightly closed.
He quickly calmed down from his shock and stepped into the bathroom again as if nothing had happened. Then he slowly closed the bathroom door and put on his clothes.
The bathroom has a window that leads directly to the kitchen.
He quietly climbed through the window to the kitchen, took a kitchen knife, and moved slowly to the kitchen door with his back against the kitchen wall.
Slowly poked his head out to observe the situation in the living room.
This sight shocked him. He had thought of many situations, such as someone holding a gun or someone holding a knife, but he never expected to see such a strange scene.
There was an old man sitting on the sofa, with a half-inch long beard, no specific age, and wearing a Chinese tunic suit. This was not surprising. What was strange was that the man was looking at him and smiling, and he still had that spring-breathing smile.
It was like an elder looking at the Lushan people casually.
Of course, Lu Shanmin would not be fooled by this kind-hearted old man. He must be a master if he could easily come in from a five-story window.
The old man smiled and waved to him, turning a blind eye to the kitchen knife in his hand. This made Lu Shanmin even more aware that he was a master, maybe just like Lao Shengun and Lao Huang.
Lu Shanmin walked out of the kitchen with a kitchen knife in his hand, but he did not approach the old man, but kept a safe distance of three to four meters.
"Who are you"?
The old man patted the sofa and smiled with satisfaction, "Not bad, you are so wary of an old man like me."
"How did you get in?" Lu Shanmin asked coldly.
The old man pointed to the key on the coffee table, "It seems that you have been very nervous these past two days. You even forgot to take out the key when you opened the door."
Lu Shanmin frowned, and for a moment he couldn't remember whether he forgot to pick up the key when he entered.
The old man smiled and said, "It's not like you to be so timid that even an old man is afraid of you."
Lu Shanmin frowned, "Do you know me?"
The old man nodded, "Of course I know you. I saw you in the news some time ago. You were full of courage and broke into a drug den alone to fight against drug dealers."
Lu Shanmin's vigilance relaxed a little. He really forgot to take out the key when he wanted to go home. If an old man appeared randomly and was an outsider like an old man, then the outsider would be worthless.
He walked towards the sofa, but still did not sit on the sofa. Instead, he sat on a stool on the other side of the coffee table.
"Don't tell me you went to the wrong door," Lu Shanmin said coldly, without any courtesy because the other party was a kind old man.
The old man chuckled and said, "I'm not so dim that I walked into the wrong door. You put down the kitchen knife first, old man, I have a bad heart."
Lu Shanmin observed the old man for a while, but he didn't look like he was an expert. He slowly put the kitchen knife on the coffee table.
"Can you tell me now?"
"You can just call me Grandpa Kan and you won't suffer any loss. I came to you to help you."
Lu Shanmin stared closely at the old man named Kan, "I don't believe in pie-in-the-sky things."
The old man smiled and said, "Of course there are conditions."
"What conditions"?
"Become our people".
"Who are you"?
"I can't tell you this yet. You will naturally know it when you are completely integrated into us."
"Why choose me"?
"Because we need young people like you who are brave, resourceful and determined. There are very few such young people now."
Lu Shanmin looked at the old man coldly, "I don't even know who you are or what you want me to do. Do you think I will agree?"
The old man had a calm smile on his face, as if he had already guessed that he would refuse.
"You can first listen to what benefits we can give you before refusing."
"What's the benefit"?
"What do you think of the Lin family's Pengcheng Group?"
"That's a big group company."
The old man laughed and said in a very disdainful tone: "You big ass, I can let you surpass it in two years."
Lu Shanmin was extremely shocked. It was unbelievable that a real estate development company with tens of billions of assets could allow him to do it within two years. But looking at the old man, it didn't look like he was bragging.
The old man raised a finger casually: "If you agree to become one of us, within one year, I will help you bring down the Pengcheng Group."
Lu Shanmin frowned, and his mind was in confusion. This old man was either a lunatic, or there was some big conspiracy going on. The Hai family was plotting against him before, and now an old man appeared out of nowhere and was plotting against him.
What the old man said was indeed very touching, but the truth has been understood since ancient times. If you can get so many things for no reason, you will naturally lose a lot. There is no free lunch in the world.
