Boss Hu hesitated for a long time and finally decided to meet Li Cheng.

He had met Li Cheng and Yang Hong, but they had only seen each other through doors and windows.

When he first met Li Cheng, he felt that if he was a tiger, Li Cheng would be a little kitten.

Li Cheng's overly young face and the way he smiled when he spoke made Boss Hu think that Li Cheng was just the son of some powerful family.

But after asking around for a long time, he found out that everyone who knew Li Cheng told him that Li Cheng just looked like a rich young man. As for whether he had any powerful background, that didn't exist.

This made Boss Hu a little confused. Since he was not the son of a powerful person, how could Li Cheng have so many titles and do so many things that ordinary people could not do.

Unable to figure it out, Boss Hu finally thought that Li Cheng must be pretending with good intentions and hiding his relationships very deeply.

If Boss Hu really believed this, it would be fine. He knew that the people should not fight against the government. But he just couldn't accept it. Thinking about the empire he had worked so hard for over ten years, how could he be willing to let Li Cheng and his men swallow it up like this?

So, Boss Hu rushed around trying to get justice for himself, but he was once again slapped in the face.

He couldn't understand why the way those people looked at him changed as soon as he mentioned Li Cheng's name.

This situation made Boss Hu doubt his life. He thought Li Cheng had already informed those people and they were just waiting for him to give him a cold shoulder.

Later, he thought that Li Cheng and his gang were too powerful and he, a fishmonger, could not defeat them.

Later, Boss Hu came here to continue his business.

There's no other way. I have a bunch of people to support. If I don't start working, will I just keep them in vain?

Another reason was that Boss Hu saw great potential for the development of this seafood market. It was bound to prosper in the future, and doing business here would definitely be better than the previous location.

So, he started his business today with a lot of resentment and the idea of ​​continuing to make money.

Unexpectedly, Li Cheng came on the first day of business. Not only did he come, he also treated me to a meal.

Okay, eat it if you want. I’m not afraid of you.

Boss Hu called over two waiters and told them to pick the most expensive seafood in the restaurant and add two dishes, then he walked towards the parking lot with a tiger's stride...

"Here it comes..."

As soon as Boss Hu's figure came into people's sight, someone shouted this.

When Boss Hu saw the large and small dining tables arranged around the awning in the middle of the parking lot, he thought to himself that someone wanted to watch the fun.

Thinking of this, Boss Hu straightened his back even more.

I can't beat Li Cheng in both public and private matters, but I can't lose face today. Otherwise, I won't be able to survive here in the future.

After Boss Hu stood under the awning, Li Cheng stood up politely and said with a smile: "Boss Hu, your business is opening today. I came here specially to take a look and treat you to a meal."

Boss Hu stared at Li Cheng for a long time without saying anything.

Li Cheng and the others didn't mind. Yang Hong pulled out a chair and said, "Please sit down."

Boss Hu took a few steps over and sat down.

Li Cheng sat across from him, with Yang Hong and Weng Xiaozhu sitting on his left and right. Someone came over to pour wine, but Boss Hu remained silent, just looking at Li Cheng.

Li Cheng raised his glass, stood up, looked around, and said loudly: "The first glass of wine is to all the brothers and sisters who come here to do business."

The people around stood up one after another, holding up various wine vessels, and drank them all in one gulp.

After finishing the first glass of wine, Li Chengji sat down, looked at Boss Hu and said, "Boss Hu, it's not good to not drink the first glass of wine!"

Boss Hu looked at Li Cheng, picked up the glass of wine and drank it all.

Li Cheng pointed at the seafood on the table and said, "Boss Hu, this is seafood I bought from your store. Try it."

Boss Hu didn't pick up his chopsticks. Li Cheng smiled and then asked Weng Xiaozhu and Yang Hong to start eating seafood.

After eating for a while, Li Cheng toasted again, and everyone around him drank. Boss Hu hesitated for a moment and drank too.

Just like that, after Li Cheng toasted three times, he shouted to the people around him, "Everyone, please feel free to do whatever you want. I'll cover the drinks for today. On the day of our opening, some people didn't come. Today, everyone is finally here, so you can celebrate..."

At this time, people finally understood why Li Cheng invited Hu Lao Da to drink. This was to celebrate that all the merchants in the market had finally gathered together!

Some of these merchants were getting restless, especially those who were supposed to open for business that day but didn't.

They thought that since it was a celebration, they might as well take this opportunity to celebrate properly. So, they ordered more dishes, not only for themselves, but also sent some to Li Cheng and his group.

If conditions permit, we sell seafood and have all kinds of seafood. We can simply process them and serve them on the table.

Isn’t that what they say? High-end ingredients only require simple processing.

In just over ten minutes, Li Cheng's table was piled with all kinds of seafood.

Weng Xiaozhu didn't expect to encounter such a thing while eating seafood. She was a little confused looking at the table full of seafood.

Li Cheng didn't care at all. He pointed at the seafood on the table and said, "Eat whatever you want. If you can't finish it, take it away..."

There were only four people at the table, and Weng Xiaozhu was eating the most heartily. Yang Hong was a conservative eater, but he specialized in high-end seafood.

Li Cheng ate less but drank more. He would toast every person who brought him food.

Li Cheng soon drank a bit too much. Hu Lao Da was the one who ate the least and drank the least.

Looking at the lively scene, Boss Hu finally realized his own strength.

When he was entrenched in the Eighteen Bends Alley seafood market, he relied on inducements and threats to control the merchants. But Li Cheng was different. Regardless of how much rent he collected, he gave people the hope of getting rich.

Listen to what he said, "As long as you believe in this market and do business here with all your heart, I guarantee that you will all make a fortune. If you can't make a fortune, come to me and I will compensate you..."

And, "Our market will be the largest seafood market in East China in the future. I want to ask you, as the first batch of merchants to move in, can you make a fortune? Don't you have any idea..."

Who wouldn't know this? They've all been doing business for many years, so how could they not be grateful for the opportunity to make a fortune that Li Cheng gave them?

This was a lively dinner party, and the loneliest person at the party was Boss Hu.

He drank slowly, thinking over and over again that he would never be able to defeat Li Chengcheng in his lifetime. Li Chengcheng had a big vision, while he only had eyes for that small market, so it was normal for him to be defeated by Li Cheng.

Thinking of this, Boss Hu drank the wine in his glass, then stood up and said, "Boss Li, I'm convinced. I'll follow you to make a fortune in the future..."
