Tang Jinyan put away his phone, a mocking smile on his face.
Su Zhe might not like him because of certain things, but ultimately, there was no grudge between them. They had worked well together for a long time.
Perhaps Kim Wuxing didn't think about who Su Zhe really hated the most.
Even if he was submissive on the surface and relied on him to climb up the social ladder, he would still be happy to make things difficult for him at times.
Of course, the prerequisite was that he had to clear his own name. Hence, Su Zhe would only remind him to be careful.
In fact … it didn't matter if he reminded him or not.
Tang Jinyan sat back on the sofa and picked up the coffee pot to refill the guest's cup. "I'm sorry, I had to take a call."
The guest laughed heartily and even seemed to be trying to please him. "It's nothing, it wasn't even a minute. Wow, Ninth Brother has always been so efficient."
"Hey, hey, it's easy to misunderstand. Some things I do definitely take more than a minute!"
"Hahaha …"
"But …" Tang Jinyan sipped his coffee and said meaningfully, "Sometimes, efficiency is the biggest indicator, right, Third Brother?"
The guest was actually the third of the nine brothers of the Shinseung Faction. His name was Lee Seung Chan, and his logistics company was one of the best in Seoul. He had a huge fleet of vehicles, and there were countless fleets under his name. It could be considered one of the better businesses of the Shinseung Faction.
Of course, he was secretly in cahoots with the second brother's Vietnamese. Not many people knew what else his team did.
Tang Jinyan's project this time would have a lot of logistics business. There were many logistics companies from all over the country who came to negotiate with him. Of course, the third brother, Lee Seung Chan, was one of them.
However, the third brother only found out that the so-called Head of the Project Department was actually Tang Jinyan …
The two brothers stared at each other for a long time. Tang Jinyan invited Lee Seung Chan to his office. Lee Seung Chan followed behind and entered the office. He looked at Tang Jinyan making coffee for him and felt like he was in a dream.
He wasn't an idiot. It was obvious that he was aware of one thing … This business deal was probably over.
It had nothing to do with the company's strength or qualifications. The only reason was to pick a side. It was that simple.
Li Chengcan was stunned when he heard Tang Jinyan talking about efficiency. He quickly replied, "We're in the logistics business. Of course, we value efficiency the most."
"We will be purchasing a lot of materials from all over the country. Seoul is one of the biggest suppliers. To be honest, when I chose Seoul Logistics, my first reaction was Third Brother. After all, I know Third Brother well, and I trust Third Brother's qualifications."
When Tang Jinyan said this, Li Chengcan looked a little agitated. Just as he was about to say something, he saw Tang Jinyan wave his hand. "But Brother San, you know that I can't work with you — it has nothing to do with you."
Li Chengcan immediately wilted.
From Tang Jinyan's point of view, it was true that he could not openly do business with him. In the eyes of others, there would only be one message: Old Jiu had joined Old Jiu's team.
How could Tang Jinyan do such a thing?
Li Chengcan felt that he had been implicated even when he was lying down. His company had the strength to create this pie, but they were eliminated because of such a troublesome reason. And he really couldn't blame Tang Jinyan.
He sighed. "Old Jiu, to be honest, even if you stand on Second Brother's side, there's nothing wrong with that …"
"Second Brother is more capable than Big Brother?
Or Second Brother is closer to me than Big Brother? "Tang Jinyan sneered." Why should I choose him and break ties with Big Brother? "
"This …" Li Chengcan said helplessly. "There's always a choice."
Tang Jinyan drank his coffee and smiled but didn't say anything.
Li Chengcan sighed. "You … really want to do it yourself?
To be honest, we're all convinced by your capabilities, but some things … "
Tang Jinyan put down his coffee and said calmly, "Don't worry, Third Brother. We still have a guest today. He'll be here soon.
We'll discuss it later. "
Li Chengcan swallowed back his words and was very surprised.
Logically speaking, Tang Jinyan was very busy right now. Where would he find the time to wait for someone?
Tang Jinyan seemed to see through his confusion. He smiled. "I'm not waiting for anyone. When I saw Third Brother, I invited a certain guest who had been waiting at the hotel for a few days to come over."
Before he finished speaking, there was a knock on the office door. Tang Jinyan got up and went to open the door. He smiled. "Fourth Brother, please come in."
Li Chengcan stood up straight and looked at Fourth Brother who was standing at the door.
Fourth Brother's name was Jin Ye. He owned a multi-purpose shopping mall in Seoul. It was also one of the high-quality businesses of the New Village Party.
Of course, no one would be satisfied with just holding on to this small business. Everyone would want to have the opportunity to expand.
With this new theme park and movie city plan, there would naturally be a shopping mall in the shopping area. How could Jin Ye miss such an opportunity?
However, in terms of competitiveness, Fourth Brother was not qualified. Lotte had long intended to build a shopping mall in the shopping area. In front of the Xin family of Lotte, most people would just set up a shop in the shopping area. However, when he found out that the so-called Minister Tang was actually Tang Jinyan, he felt that there was still something to discuss.
Especially when Tang Jinyan had silently ignored him for a few days. He neither rejected him nor patted his chest to express his loyalty.
Since he was staying at the hotel, his butt was not moldy. Instead, he was thinking about a lot of things …
When he saw Third Brother, Jin Ye was stunned for a while. He quickly calmed down and strode in. He sat directly next to Li Chengcan. "Third Brother, you're here to talk too?"
Having been at loggerheads with each other for months, the two generals who would get angry the moment they met were now very calm. Old Third smiled and said, "It's been a long time since we sat down and drank coffee together like this, Old Fourth."
At this moment, Third Brother also thought of a lot of things.
If both of them cooperated with Tang Jinyan, in the eyes of others, it would not be Ninth Brother siding with Second Brother. Instead, it would be Third Brother and Fourth Brother siding with Ninth Brother.
Ninth Brother had endured for more than ten years. Finally, with the wind blowing, he bared his fangs.
The two of them fell silent for a moment. They were quickly analyzing the pros and cons in their minds.
The first thing they wanted to know was who could bring them more benefits.
The two of them glanced at Tang Jinyan at the same time and sighed inwardly.
Since when did Old Jiu have the ability to lead the Yu brothers in development?
Thinking about all these years, everyone's impression of him as a martial artist was deeply ingrained in their hearts. Compared to today, it was really funny.
Tang Jinyan saw the changes in their expressions. Finally, he said, "The shopping mall has already signed an agreement with Lotte. This will not change.
However, with a space of more than two million square meters, in addition to the shopping area, we will also have other areas that require general shopping malls.
When the time comes, Fourth Brother can submit the bid. "
After a pause, he said, "In addition to the matters in Jeju Island, I have been intending to expand the scale of Incheon for a long time. When the time comes, whether it is the logistics or the central shopping mall, it will be a one-stop chain.
In fact, we brothers have a lot of connections and complements each other. We should have worked together a long time ago. Why should we fight to the death? "
The two brothers sighed at the same time. Jin Ye sighed and said, "It's not everyone's wish to fight to the death, it's just that the situation is pushing us.
If someone can convince the masses, who wouldn't be willing to drink and eat together? "
Li Chengcan also said, "After all, we were friends when we were young.
Fourth Brother even blocked a knife for me when he was young. "
Jin Ye waved his hand. "Don't mention Third Brother …" After a pause, he turned to Tang Jinyan. "Ninth Brother, it's not that we don't agree with you. To put it bluntly, we are all on your side for the sake of money. But you have to know that if we raise the flag at this time, the situation will only become more chaotic."
They were all brothers who knew each other very well, and they were also from the underworld. None of them played any hidden meanings when they spoke. They were very straightforward, asking if he wanted to be promoted.
This was a different template from the various official exchanges these days. Tang Jinyan sometimes found it quite interesting.
Of course, this thought only flashed through his mind. Tang Jinyan sipped his coffee and said leisurely, "You can submit your bids. Other things are still early. Let's just wait and see."
Li Chengcan said, "Ninth Brother, with your identity on the surface … are you really not afraid of trouble?"
Tang Jinyan grinned. "So the person we support is Sixth Brother Bai …"
The two brothers looked at each other and had an idea in their hearts.
Sixth Brother Bai must have a tacit understanding. Tang Jinyan wanted to be the regent …
