You Chengdao was a smart man. He understood what Li Meng meant as soon as he heard his words. Combined with the recent rumors that Wenshan Commerce and Daqin Group were about to go to war, he knew that Wu Wenshan was not doing this for him, but to deal with Daqin Group.
As a professional rope head, the main job is to act as a matchmaker between companies and businessmen to facilitate the deal, and he can also get some hard work fees from it.
You Cheng Dao does not belong to any company and never gets involved in business disputes. He always does things for money.
Li Meng came to him today. If he was asked to stop providing supplies to Daqin Group, he would consider it. After all, You Chengdao himself did not want to be involved in the dispute between the two major companies.
But asking him to retire early would be too overbearing. After all, retirement means losing your job and your financial resources. It's obvious which is more important, future income or these few hundred thousand.
After looking at the banknotes in front of him for a few seconds, Lao You said with a smile: "Mr. Meng, I am just a rope head. Apart from matchmaking, I am not interested in business matters. At most, I will draw a clear line with Daqin Company in the future. Brother Wu, there is no need to push me to the brink of despair.
Besides, I’m only in my forties, and the legal retirement age is still sixty. It’s really too early to retire now…”
Li Meng glared and slammed the teacup on the table. "Lao You, we're old acquaintances, so I'll save your face. Today's matter was both Brother Wu's and Mr. Wu's idea. Listen to my advice, don't refuse a toast. You have to learn to be content, otherwise you'll end up earning money but not being able to spend it."
These words, spoken from Li Meng's mouth, were quite imposing. If it were an ordinary person, they would have already compromised and dared not say anything. But Lao You was not afraid of these things. After all, he was in the right in this matter, and he absolutely could not give in.
If I agree to accept the money today, I will offend Wenshan Trading if I continue to act as a broker in the future. Then I will be unable to spend the money even though I can make money.
Moreover, Cheng Dao had been in Lujiu City for many years, and had met countless business leaders from all walks of life. Some spoke kindly, some spoke harshly and pretentiously, and some frowned and glared threateningly. But no matter who it was, they had to give him some face in the end. After all, everyone knew his abilities and knew that he was someone who would definitely be useful in the future.
As for the matter of retiring, even if Wu Feiyue or even Wu Wenshan came forward in person, let alone Li Meng, it would be difficult for him to agree.
You Chengdao resealed the box as it was before and gently pushed it back in front of Li Meng: "Mengye, I understand what Wu Ge means, but I also hope he can understand me. We can discuss other things, but if you talk about retirement now, there are too many people involved, and I really can't agree to it!"
Li Meng rarely had the patience to speak in a nice manner, and he hadn't lost his temper out of respect for You Chengdao. However, after being rejected repeatedly, he couldn't hold back his anger any longer. He whipped out a knife from his pocket and pointed it at You Chengdao: "Old You, don't be so shameless. I'm trying to be nice to you, but you don't appreciate it. I have to teach you a lesson!"
Facing the sharp knife, You Chengdao was not afraid. Instead, he smiled and slowly pressed the knife down: "Mr. Meng, please be patient, please be patient. To be honest, today you asked me to quit, and I agreed. Tomorrow, if someone from another company asks me to come out again, do you think I should agree or not?
I'm just an ordinary citizen, caught between the big businessmen, earning a little hard-earned money by talking. I don't agree, not to offend you, but some things are beyond our control. As a man, we must always keep our word. I can't do things like going back on my word, and I don't want to do them.
"Please go back and talk to Angkor Wu and ask him to show mercy. As long as you give us a way out, all other requests are negotiable, all negotiable!"
You Chengdao made it clear that he was willing to completely abandon the Daqin Group connection in exchange for peace of mind. This would not affect Wenshan Commerce's subsequent plans, nor would it hinder his ability to earn money. While he might lose a share of the Daqin Group's profits, it was still better than retiring completely and earning nothing!
When Li Meng heard this, he realized that this was indeed the case, so he stopped talking, put away the knife, picked up the box, and left.
This was a perfect argument, saving his job while satisfying Wenshan Commerce's wishes. You Chengdao wasn't worried about Wu Feiyue's rebellion; he was only concerned about how Daqin Group would reject him.
He and Hu Jicheng have the best relationship. In addition to their many years of cooperation, the two also help each other a lot in life. However, the closer their relationship is, the more difficult things become.
That afternoon, You Chengdao was organizing his thoughts in his mind and trying to find Hu Jichong's phone number on his cell phone, but he kept picking it up and putting it down, and didn't make the call.
After much thought, he decided that it would be difficult to explain the matter over the phone and that it would be better to talk to Hu Jicheng face to face. So he decided to go to the Daqin Auto Trade Factory the next day and talk it over with Hu Jicheng face to face, so that he could have an explanation with Wu Feiyue later.
You Chengdao grasped Wu Feiyue very accurately, but he greatly underestimated Wu Wenshan.
After Li Meng returned and told Wu Feiyue about the situation, he also agreed with You Chengdao's approach, thinking that if he could completely give up the Daqin Group in the future and instead specialize in bringing goods to Wenshan Commerce, it would be a good thing to add icing on the cake, so he immediately told Wu Wenshan about the matter.
Wu Wenshan chuckled after hearing this. "You Chengdao is right. Today we're trying to get him out of hiding, and tomorrow someone will try to get him out. Things like this are beyond our control and we can't refuse them."
Unless... he is no longer in this world!"
After saying that, he looked up at Wu Feiyue and said, "You Chengdao is also an old friend of ours. Since he is an old friend, don't make things difficult for him. Give him a hand if you can!"
Wu Feiyue understood instantly, nodded and flattered a few words, then gave the order.
Because Li Meng had failed repeatedly in dealing with You Tianfu before, Wu Feiyue did not use him in this matter. Instead, he found Liu Zhong and asked him to make a quick decision and get the job done cleanly and neatly.
That night, Liu Zhong brought three of his younger brothers and drove an unlicensed van that they had found in advance to the door of You Chengdao's house. When it was completely dark, they turned into several black shadows and sneaked in!
You Chengdao had just fallen asleep, still thinking about how to discuss things with Hu Jicheng tomorrow. He heard some noises outside the room and wanted to turn on the light to check. Unexpectedly, he tilted his head and saw Liu Zhong and his men standing by the bed, looking at him as if he were a dead person...
