"King Yama, the person has arrived."
Chen Dong was taken into a private house.
The dark-skinned, thin man greeted the people inside the house and then left.
inside the house.
Three men sat there, each with a cigarette in their hand and a cup of tea in front of them. There was a pile of sunflower seed shells on the ground.
Clearly, they are discussing something.
Upon seeing Chen Dong enter, the group fell silent and began to scrutinize him with curious eyes.
While they were sizing up Chen Dong, Chen Dong was also sizing them up.
The three men were not old, appearing to be in their early twenties. They all had the same slicked-back hair, and their facial muscles were clearly defined. Coupled with their fierce eyes, they looked like the kind of people who were brave and aggressive.
"You're Chen Dong?"
The young man in the lead glanced at Chen Dong and spoke first.
"Greetings, King Yama, I am Chen Dong."
Chen Dong looked straight at him, answering in a tone that was neither humble nor arrogant.
It can be said that he was completely unfazed.
There are generally only two types of people who behave this way.
One type is the fearless young calf, commonly known as a hothead.
Another type is those who have something to rely on and feel confident, so they naturally won't be afraid.
Chen Dong remained calm, his eyes filled with wisdom; he was clearly not the first type of person.
"snort!"
Yama snorted coldly. Chen Dong's attitude displeased him. What businessman wouldn't be terrified and cautious when he saw him?
He had never met anyone like Chen Dong before, and he was a little unsure of his approach.
However, Yama is a man of the underworld after all. If he were to be intimidated and word got out, that would be a real loss of face.
He immediately pulled out a dagger from his person, stabbed it fiercely into the table, and said with a vicious expression.
"Kid, you dare to come here alone, you've got some guts. Aren't you afraid... do you think I'll make sure you don't leave this house alive?"
After saying that, Yama stared intently into Chen Dong's eyes. If he detected even the slightest hint of panic in Chen Dong, it wouldn't be as simple as just asking for benefits.
However, to his disappointment, Chen Dong remained calm.
Even the corners of his mouth turned up, revealing a slight smile.
Could it be that this kid has someone protecting him?
A thought flashed through Yama's mind, but he immediately dismissed it.
If someone really had connections in higher-ups, they would have received word of it long ago and wouldn't have bothered a tea egg seller.
Just as Yama was thinking about these things.
Chen Dong pulled out a chair, sat down casually, leaving the two people next to him dumbfounded.
Upon seeing this, Yama frowned slightly, but he did not make any rash moves.
Chen Dong observed their performance closely, which gave him a greater sense of confidence.
He looked at Yama, the King of Hell, and said calmly.
"King Yama, we're all just trying to make a living, and it's not easy for anyone. Let's talk about something serious. I wonder what you wanted to say to me today?"
"Clap clap clap... That felt good! I, the King of Hell, love your kind of personality, brother."
The King of Hell laughed heartily, revealing a mouthful of large yellow teeth, and the atmosphere in the room relaxed instantly.
suddenly.
The King of Hell's smile vanished, replaced by a fierce glint in his eyes, as if he were about to devour someone.
He pulled out the dagger from the table, played with it in his hand, and then winked at the two people beside him before staring at Chen Dong and saying each word clearly.
"It's very simple to bring you here. I'm just informing you... Starting today, I want 20% of your profits from selling tea eggs to serve as protection money."
As he spoke, the two men beside him also stood up and moved closer to Chen Dong.
It's as if they're about to start a fight at the slightest disagreement.
This is their usual tactic.
Upon hearing this, Chen Dong chuckled and joked.
"Is 20% enough?"
"Isn't that a bit too little?"
Upon hearing this, Yama was amused and his face immediately darkened.
"Kid, do you really think I'm called the King of Hell for nothing?"
"You two, teach this kid a lesson."
"Yes, brother!"
"Wait!"
Chen Dong stood up, pointed at the King of Hell, and said, word by word.
"Are you deaf? I'm not joking with you!"
"What's the meaning?"
Yan Wangchao and the other man exchanged a glance, took a step back, and then looked at Chen Dong again to ask questions.
Upon hearing this, Chen Dong turned his head to the side, glanced at the two people beside him, and then looked at Yama with a smile but said nothing.
Upon seeing this.
At this moment, Yama understood and gave instructions to the two.
"Ah Long, Ah Hu, you two go out first."
"Brother, this..."
"He's not going to eat me, is he?"
"Okay, brother. We'll be right at the door. If anything happens, just call us loudly."
"Um!"
After the two left, Yama spoke.
"Now you can speak. If your answer doesn't satisfy me, I guarantee you won't leave here safely."
"King Yama, you're just trying to make a living, why get angry?"
Chen Dong chuckled and continued, "Before I answer these questions, I also have a question I'd like to ask you."
"How profitable do you think the tea egg business is?"
Upon hearing this, Yama glanced at Chen Dong, unsure of what he was up to.
However, after a moment's thought, he gave the answer.
“If you sell a tea egg for 50 cents, I think the profit is at least 20 cents.”
Chen Dong nodded and followed up with a sentence.
"Based on a profit margin of 20 cents, you're asking me for 20% of that profit. In other words, for every tea egg I sell, you're taking 4 cents of your share. Am I right?"
