Chapter 769 What Kind of Unification Is This?

"Are you doing this so that after we agree, you can wipe us all out?" Su Mu said this not as a question, but as a statement, clearly indicating that he had thought of Pu Weichao's plan.

To be honest, at first I didn't understand what Pu Weichao was saying and I thought he was just messing around. But when I figured out the reason behind it, I can only say that this guy is too ruthless and too insidious. He can even come up with such a vicious trick.

Pu Weichao neither admitted nor denied it. Sitting in his chair, he tapped his fingers on the table and asked, "So, do you agree? Anyway, continuing this discussion won't lead to anything, so why not just break it off? What do you guys think?"

Yao Chengjie said, "If we agree directly, will you just kill us right here and then take over our community completely?"

Pu Weichao smiled and said, "I guess so. Killing you all would be a bit too much. After all, we've been friends for so long and know each other inside and out. It would be a real waste to kill you. You might still be useful in the future, right?"

Su Mu said, "Aren't you afraid that doing this will cause you trouble? Do you really think that as long as you get rid of us, the people under us will listen to you?"

Sigh, I thought to myself. Su Mu probably didn't think before he asked that question. Regardless of whether his subordinates obeyed or not, he, the leader, had already been arrested. Even if his subordinates didn't obey, he could just talk to them. If they couldn't reach an agreement, he could kill them. If he couldn't kill them all, he could just wipe them out. In the end, he could just make up a story, and those who didn't know the truth would still follow him around like madmen.

Su Mu said, "By doing this, you are digging your own grave."

Pu Weichao raised an eyebrow and said, "I know what you're thinking. You want to agree to my request first, and then go back and join forces to wipe out the resort, right? But do you have the capability?"

His question hit the nail on the head: Did the three parties have the power to destroy the resort?

The resort was key to facilitating the tripartite cooperation. From the beginning, it wasn't equipped with any armed forces, only possessing some self-defense capabilities, which were insufficient against the combined forces of the three parties. However, since Pu Weichao had asked, he must have some confidence; otherwise, he wouldn't have asked so directly.

Su Mu immediately understood the key point, but Yao Chengjie and Xu Sanshui did not.

After all, neither of them knew that Hangzhou had already been unified.

Yao Chengjie, unaware of the situation, said directly, "Do you believe that with just one order from me, my men will come and raze this place to the ground?"

Pu Weichao laughed and said, "Sure, you can give it a try."

Su Mu couldn't stand it anymore. "Yao Chengjie, stop making trouble."

"What do you mean I'm making a fuss? He's trying to kill us, and you're still thinking of helping him?" Yao Chengjie said, glaring at him.

"What do you know!" Su Mu roared, then pointed at me and Pu Weichao, "Do you know that those two have already unified the entire Hangzhou? If you dare to make a move here, I can tell you, you definitely won't live past three days."

Yao Chengjie was surprised, "Hangzhou...has been unified?"

Su Mu said, "Otherwise, why do you think it's so tough, suddenly bringing up the issue of unification with them? If it didn't have powerful backers, would it dare to be so arrogant?"

Yao Chengjie looked at Pu Weichao and sneered, "I underestimated you. You actually managed to unify the entire city of Hangzhou in such a short time."

Pu Weichao remained silent and did not respond to anyone's accusations.

Xu Sanshui gave a wry smile and said, "No wonder you were so confident, calling us all over and bringing this up directly. So that's why. But even if you've unified the entire city of Hangzhou, so what? It will probably take some time for your people from Hangzhou to get here. Can they be faster than us?"

Seeing that they were about to start arguing again, I had absolutely no idea what they were doing.

Unification does involve many issues, including the distribution of benefits and people's housing. If any mistakes are made, it could lead to public dissatisfaction.

However, if we don't unite, it's fine if we just develop in small communities. But if we encounter some powerful forces, it will be impossible for us, with our scattered strength, to deal with them.

Pu Weichao said, "You want to do that? Okay, let's do it then, why don't you give it a try?"

"You..." Xu Sanshui originally meant to get Pu Weichao to back down, but obviously it didn't achieve his goal.

I couldn't hold back any longer and said, "Alright, now you've argued enough and threatened enough, can't we have a proper talk about unification?"

Su Mu continued, “I’m not against unification, but unification should take time. Why be so direct? We need to discuss it properly and figure out how to unify. How can we just say we’ll unify with a single sentence? What if the people we lured back later? So the most important thing now is to decide how to unify. I think we can find a cooperative model for unification, like a three-party cooperation, with the resort as the center, and then proceed with the unification.”

Xu Sanshui then chimed in, "I agree with this approach. What about you?"

Yao Chengjie said, "I agree."

Jing hesitated for a moment, but finally said, "I agree."

Then, everyone's attention turned to Pu Weichao. He didn't rush to speak, but looked at me and asked, "Xiaonan, what do you think? What should we do?"

I glanced at everyone and said decisively, "I disagree."

Pu Weichao smiled.

Everyone else was stunned. I guess they all thought I would agree, but I felt that Su Mu's proposed method was not a solution at all, but a delaying tactic. That's why I didn't agree. If we really followed Su Mu's method, unification would probably take a very long time, and in the end, it might not even be possible.

"Why don't you agree? This is the best solution at this stage, and everyone agrees," Su Mu asked.

I said, “It’s very simple. If we follow your suggestion and unify the cooperation around the resort, what’s the difference from before? The three of you are still the leaders of the three parties, and there’s still no real tension among the three groups. What’s the point of doing this? The purpose of us sitting here today is to achieve true unity, not for you to engage in empty talk and nonsense. The meaning of unity lies in a unified management authority. If it’s so decentralized, what kind of unity is this?”

Su Mu looked at me and said slowly, "So, you want to take the CEO's position?"
