Free Web NovelChapter 572: Chapter 243: Why Reward Five Old and Crumbling Buildings? Waiting for Demolition
Yang Chen came down with a smile, patted Hong Junle on the shoulder, and said, "Come and sit."
Hong Sitong also quickly stepped forward and very politely said to Mr. Yang, "Mr. Yang, I apologize for not teaching my son well, causing a misunderstanding that upset you. My son and I apologize to Mr. Yang together, hoping that Mr. Yang, for the sake of our daughter, and considering my son didn’t know your identity, can forgive us. If Mr. Yang has any requests, feel free to propose them, we will do our utmost to satisfy them. As long as Mr. Yang can calm down and forget the unpleasantness of last night, that would be great."
Xue Yinong also smiled and said, "Mr. Yang, please be more forgiving since Ah Le didn’t know your identity."
Yang Chen smiled and nodded, gesturing for them to sit down.
Yu Shishi went to brew some fresh tea, poured it for the three of them, and then went upstairs to continue her tasks.
Yang Chen said with a smile, "Brother Le has already received his punishment, what’s past is past."
Hong Junle: "Thank you, Brother Chen, thank you, Brother Chen. Brother Chen, just call me Xiaole or Lele, that’s fine, don’t call me Brother Le; I can’t afford it."
Yang Chen: "Haha... alright, Xiaole it is. I heard you hang around that Mingcui Square area, right?"
Hong Junle: "Yes! My KTV and stuff are all around there."
Yang Chen: "Are you interested in expanding into new ventures?"
Hong Junle shook his head and just as he was about to speak, Hong Sitong kicked him and scolded, "Think before you speak."
Hong Junle quickly said, "Yes, I am!"
It looked very reluctant; Yang Chen didn’t want to continue the conversation.
"Forget it, everyone has their own aspirations. If Xiaole himself doesn’t have thoughts in this direction, we can’t force him to succeed," said Yang Chen.
Xue Yinong rolled her eyes at Hong Junle, the guy is in his late twenties, how can he be so stupid?
Someone like Mr. Yang suggesting a new venture surely would make a lot of money, yet he shook his head, really don’t know how he got this far in life, so foolish.
Hong Sitong’s face turned red with anger, Mr. Yang is so impressive; if they could bypass the Xue Family and work directly with him, it would greatly benefit the Hong Family’s future.
This unambitious fellow actually shook his head, intended to let such a good opportunity slip away?
Hong Sitong quickly said, "Xiaole means he doesn’t want to expand in the entertainment business, if there’s another kind of business, he definitely would like to try. Young people should try lots of things, regardless of success or failure, just have to dare to do it."
Hong Junle understood his father’s intention and quickly said, "Brother Chen, if you have any orders, Xiaole is willing to serve you loyally."
This guy sure knows how to adapt.
Last night at Mingcui Square, the way he was acting all arrogant mentioned didn’t quite show how cocky he was.
Now, groveling to please Yang Chen, couldn’t look more humble.
Yang Chen said with a smile, "Alright, then I’ll say it. Mingcui Square’s reputation in the gambling stone world is ruined, at this moment if there’s a new Gambling Stone Workshop, it’s bound to replace it. I recently started a collaboration in Southern Myanmar with a jade mine, can supply from there, you open a new Gambling Stone Workshop next to Mingcui Square. The old rules apply, I never monopolize, I want 100% voting rights, but I’m willing to offer 49% of the dividend rights to you. How you divide that depends on your respective contributions. Are you interested?"
Hong Sitong quickly said, "Mr. Yang is indeed a young hero, every move can leave people shocked. Mingcui Square is the most reputable and largest Gambling Stone Workshop in Hai City and surrounding cities. On the surface, the boss is Qin Sifeng. But actually, the boss behind the scenes is Hai City Tang Family’s second son, Tang Chengbao, that is the second brother of Tang Family patriarch, Tang Chenghu. Mingcui Square is currently in a trust crisis, indeed our good opportunity. However, if we open next to Mingcui Square, it’s undoubtedly a declaration of war against them. If the Tang Family intervenes, we might face some troubles. The Tang Family has strong background, they would be hard to deal with. So, I suggest avoiding Mingcui Square, and opening somewhere else. What does Mr. Yang think?"
Tang Family?
Is that Tang Xia Family?
Yang Chen: "I don’t care if it’s Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming or Qing, Mingcui Square is so unruly, I definitely can’t let them go. Our Gambling Stone Workshop has to be opened next to Mingcui Square, otherwise, there’s no purpose in opening it. Of course, things can’t be forced. I am merely extending an invitation; you feel it’s doable then we proceed, you feel it’s not doable, I certainly won’t force you to have to cooperate with me. Miss Xue has always been very kind to me, if I have a new project, I will definitely first consider her. You have close relations with the Xue Family, and Xiaole is mixing around that area, which is why I brought you in. It’s up to your choice, I won’t push."
Hong Sitong looked at Xue Yinong, the Hong Family itself doesn’t have any clout; they rely on the Xue Family.
So now, it depends on what Xue Yinong thinks, if she thinks it’s doable, they do it; if she thinks not, the Hong Family definitely won’t do it.
The steward certainly can’t directly bypass the owner and cooperate with others, that’s as good as asking not to survive.
Xue Yinong didn’t speak, she was considering if the Tang Family retaliated, whether the Xue Family could withstand it.
If it’s just about economic strength, the Xue Family naturally doesn’t fear the Tang Family.
The problem is the Tang Family has military connections, whereas the Xue Family doesn’t.
If it really came down to it, the Xue Family would definitely be at a disadvantage in that regard.
After thoroughly considering, Xue Yinong said to Yang Chen, "Ah Chen, if I am in danger, will you do your utmost to save me?"
