Huang Zhengye's reaction was within You Tianfu's expectations. Since Zhang with buck teeth could find the Chengdong factory to cause trouble, it meant that he had already learned about their cooperative relationship from Huang Zhengye in advance, and Huang Zhengye was most likely forced to shake his head and refuse because of his power.
Litting a cigarette for Huang Zhengye, You Tianfu continued, "Boss Huang, you shouldn't be so decisive. We had a very pleasant conversation before. Now we've been working day and night to get the goods out. It wouldn't be right to just say you don't want them.
How about this? I'll take a step back and lower the price by 10%, just as a gesture of friendship. If you agree, it'll be a good start for our first business."
Huang Zhengye's face was bitter, perhaps feeling a little embarrassed. "Brothers, it's really not that I'm deliberately trying to cheat you. I really can't help it. You should all understand the reason without me having to explain it. I'm just a restaurant owner. It's not easy to stay stable in a place like this. Don't hold a grudge. If it really doesn't work out, I can compensate you with some liquidated damages..."
These words came from the heart, and You Tianfu could see that this wasn't Huang Zhengye's original intention. He was stuck in the middle, feeling like a mute with no one to complain about his grievances. So, he stopped making things difficult for him, nodded in understanding, and told Murong Jie to get up and leave.
Looking at the backs of the two people leaving, Huang Zhengye sighed deeply, his face becoming even more bitter...
Back at the factory, the atmosphere was a bit depressing. You Tianfu didn't tell Qin Yuhao about this, worried that he would worry and have another headache. The brothers squatted in the factory warehouse to discuss the next plan.
Looking at the pile of finished building materials, everyone sighed with a bitter face. Qin Yuer reminded them, "Xiaotian, didn't you sign a purchase contract with Huang Zhengye before? Now he's breached the contract. Even if he doesn't want the building materials, he still has to compensate us for our losses."
Hao Zhengguang smiled bitterly and said, "My dear lady, you still think this place is your own country. Didn't you hear Brother Lun say the other day that there is only one Vietnamese police station here, and it's just for show. In a place like this with no government and no laws, a contract is really just a blank piece of paper. To put it bluntly, this place is just a large refugee camp. If you have the ability, you will live, and if you don't, you will die!"
These words instantly awakened You Tianfu, and a look suddenly appeared in his worried eyes: "That's right, in a place like this, if you have the ability, you will live, and if you don't, you will die! If we want to solve this problem, we have to rely on ourselves!"
Lin Lidong raised his head and said, "You mean, we should go find other buyers and try to sell this batch of building materials?"
Murong Jie immediately shook his head and said, "I think Brother Tian's goal is not just this batch of building materials, but he has bigger ideals and longer-term goals!"
You Tianfu laughed out loud, "That's right. If we want to develop, we must always remember that this is Chinatown, and the city has its own rules and operating systems. Back home, everything must be above the law. Black is black, and no matter how successful you are, you will never see the light of day. But it's different here. This has always been a black city. Didn't the wheel say that in most things, nothing can be done better than fists!"
To successfully establish a solid foundation, several important factors are essential: money, people, and a flexible mind!
We've successfully taken the first step toward making money, but networking is far from enough. The factory workers are ordinary people, working to support their families. They carry pressures and worries, and their perspectives are completely different from ours!
Therefore, the first thing to do now is to recruit talented people and accumulate strength!"
Hao Zhengguang tilted his head and said, "This is easy. The streets are full of idle hooligans who don't know how to do anything and just eat and wait for death. If we recruit these people, they can work for the factory as workers, or they can work for us as our subordinates. As long as we provide them with food and money, there will be a lot of people willing to come!"
This was also what You Tianfu had in mind. Although those thugs seemed scattered and insignificant, they could form a considerable force when they were united. He gave this task to Hao Zhengguang and Lin Lidong, and asked them to go to the streets to select available talents. It didn't matter what they did, as long as they had the strength to obey orders.
Then he turned to look at Murong Jie: "Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you win every battle. China City is not big, but not small either. Since there is the east and south of the city, there must be the west and north of the city. With such a large area, there are definitely more than just Chen Dong and Xie Jiannan's two forces.
You're the best at gathering information. No matter what method you use, I want to know the entire power structure of Chinatown. The more relevant information I can find, the better!"
That afternoon, several people took action. Hao Zhengguang and Lin Lidong took a stack of US dollars and went to the street to select people, while Murong Jie left alone. No one knew where he went or what method he was going to use.
As the sun set, Hao Zhengguang returned first, followed by about thirty other people. They were all a bit clueless and rude, but under Lin Lidong's leadership, they all lined up obediently, even forming a square formation in the factory yard. When they saw You Tianfu, they all shouted in unison, "Hello, Brother Tian!"
Hao Zhengguang looked very proud, and raised his chin and asked, "Brother Tian, let's see how capable we are at doing things. These guys are all really capable. As long as they can have enough food and some pocket money, they will go through fire and water without hesitation. Let's send all the workers home tomorrow, and keep a few skilled workers to take charge of the training. They can start work at any time!"
Those thugs were all different, from their clothing to their ethnicity, even their hairstyles were bizarre and varied. Every one of them had been personally vetted by Lin Lidong, and regardless of their appearance, weight, or appearance, they were all capable of holding their own!
These people have very different backgrounds: some are fugitives from other countries, others are on the run from debts and offenses, and some are even mercenaries, wanted by multiple countries and forced to hide here. They all have one thing in common: they can't leave Chinatown, but they can't survive within it either. Most of them rely on odd jobs or even scavenging garbage to get by.
In the eyes of others, they are extremely vicious and hopeless, but in the eyes of You Tianfu, these are all indispensable talents for him to expand his own power!
After settling the group into the dormitory, You Tianfu nodded in satisfaction, but a trace of worry still hung on his face. This was because Murong Jie had not returned and there was no news.
Seeing that it was already dark, Hao Zhengguang frowned and said, "He's not back so late, something must have happened. I'll go out and look for him!"
After saying that, he put on his coat and just as he was about to step out of the door, he stepped back: "Damn, it's too dark out there. Ajie is a grown man, he shouldn't be in any trouble. Let's just wait a little longer..."
