As the conversation flowed freely, Lai Changsheng naturally steered the conversation to the main topic:

"Firstly, oil prices in the Middle East are rising, and in the second half of the year, the share that the Ling family can obtain is estimated to be reduced by half."

"Only half? That's too little!" Ling Hongfei frowned.

"Sigh... I can't do anything about it. The supplier is intentionally reducing export volume."

"If our share is reduced by half, the Ling family will suffer a significant loss."

“Patriarch Ling, I have a compromise solution.”

"What method? Tell me."

"You can increase the volume of smuggled cigarettes to make up for the oil losses as much as possible."

Upon hearing this, Ling Hongfei frowned even more deeply: "The intricacies involved in cigarettes are far more complex; I need to consider it carefully."

"Oh, right, what's the other thing?"

Lai Changsheng hesitated for a moment, then slowly said:

"Patriarch Ling, we've been cooperating for over a year now, haven't we?"

"That's right, time flies, it's been almost two years in the blink of an eye," Ling Hongfei remarked.

"Patriarch Ling should know my character best, so if one day I do something to wrong you, it's because I had no other choice..."

"Boss Lai, you might as well speak frankly."

"That's right, Molongjiang asked me to meet him tonight."

"Molongjiang wants to meet with you? Did he say what he wants to talk about?"

"He didn't say it explicitly, only that it was a matter of great importance and that I couldn't be absent."

......

Upon hearing Lai Changsheng's words, Ling Hongfei fell silent.

He frowned and pondered for a while, before his gaze finally slowly turned to Lin Dong:

"Boss Lin, what do you think of this matter?"

At this moment, Lin Dong vaguely sensed a conspiracy, but he dared not make a hasty judgment.

"The Mo family is about to make a drastic move; they probably can't hold back any longer, hehe..."

Lin Dong chuckled softly:

"Boss Lai, whatever Mo Longjiang says or does on this trip is not important. You just need to remember one thing I said."

Lai Changsheng said solemnly, "Brother Lin, please enlighten me."

"The saying is: The Mo family is just a grasshopper in autumn, they won't last long."
