Shen Dong asked in surprise, "Uncle Xin, you investigated him?"
Zhao Chengxin laughed and said, "I hired three private investigators to conduct a comprehensive investigation of Zhou Chaoxian and found that this guy has done a lot of shady things. He colluded with Hou Guangming to carry out a lot of shoddy construction projects and made a lot of money."
Shen Dong took a sip of tea and said, "Uncle Xin, since Zhou Chaoxian has gone so far, why did Hou Guangming still push him to the top?"
Zhao Chengxin said, "The two of them must each have something on the other. Zhou Chaoxian wanted to run for election, and Hou Guangming dared not disagree."
Shen Dong shook his head and said, "I feel things aren't that simple. As the saying goes, 'If you want to take, you must first give.' Zhou Chaoxian is the leader of the Songlin Gang, and he's full of flaws. How could Hou Guangming possibly recommend someone like that? Wouldn't that be handing a knife to his rival?"
Haitang asked, "Brother Dong, do you mean Hou Guangming is going to make a move against Zhou Chaoxian?"
Shen Dong said, "It's pretty much true. If I were Hou Guangming, I definitely wouldn't allow Zhou Chaoxian to continue living. However, this matter has nothing to do with us. Uncle Xin, Haitang is planning to merge the Donghu Gang into your Heaven and Earth Alliance. What do you think?"
Zhao Chengxin had clearly thought about this beforehand, saying, "If I said I disagreed, I would definitely be lying to you. To tell you the truth, the situation of the Heaven and Earth Alliance is not good recently. Lei Fuhong of the Sanlian Gang, together with the Yamada Group of Japan, wants to devour me. If our two gangs can unite, then our territory will encompass central and southern Taiwan, and our power will increase greatly. In that case, their plan will be difficult to succeed."
Shen Dong was taken aback and asked, "Uncle Xin, what's the current situation inside the Sanlian Gang?"
Zhao Chengxin said, "It's a power struggle. Ding Yao and Lei Fuhong of the Sanlian Gang are vying for the leadership position. Ding Yao has led her men into Hong Kong Island and has a very high prestige and a large number of supporters. Lei Fuhong is Lei Gong's son and has many loyal followers. The only problem is that he just graduated from abroad and has not contributed anything to the Sanlian Gang. It is precisely because of this that Lei Fuhong plans to destroy my Tiandi Alliance so that he can have the capital to compete with Ding Yao. However, Ding Yao's restraint has made Lei Fuhong's strength somewhat insufficient. I don't know what agreement he reached with the Yamada Group, but the Yamada Group has sent a lot of elites to help him. We have already fought three times and lost some territory."
In the previous life movie "Young and Dangerous", the one who cooperated with the Yamada Group was Hung Hing.
Unexpectedly, the Sanlian Gang was the first in the world to reach a cooperation agreement with the Yamada Group.
As a pure nationalist, Shen Dong had no goodwill towards Japan, a country that had once harmed Xia, and consequently, no goodwill towards the Yamada Group.
Lei Fuhong's act of leading the Yamada Group into Taiwan is no different from that of traitors during the anti-Japanese war.
If this were inland, he would have been arrested and executed long ago.
Haitang said, "Uncle Xin, it's so dangerous where you are, why did you come here?"
Zhao Chengxin laughed and said, "Don't worry, everything's fine these days. It seems there were some problems within the Yamada Group, and they've all gone back. I can still handle Lei Fuhong alone."
Shen Dong said, "To avoid any unforeseen complications, I think you should discuss the specific details of the cooperation between the two gangs as soon as possible. Especially for the Donghu Gang, does everyone agree to join the Heaven and Earth Alliance? What if someone disagrees?"
Haitang said, "What I mean is that we should part amicably. As the saying goes, forced melons are not sweet. Whoever wants to start their own business, let them have it. Uncle Xin, I can decide to hand over all of the Donghu Gang's assets to you, but you must give 20% of the shares to the various hall masters and middle-level members of the Donghu Gang. At the same time, I will leave ten million US dollars for each hall as a token of my gratitude for their continued support of the Hai family."
Zhao Chengxin quickly said, "I'll pay for this. I can't just take advantage of you."
Haitang advised, "Uncle Xin, please don't be so polite. I know you just got out of there and probably don't have much money. As for me, you don't need to worry about me at all. I have enough money in my hands now to last A Yuan and me ten lifetimes. Besides, I have a super-rich tycoon with me who is worth tens of billions of US dollars."
Zhao Chengxin pondered for a moment and said, "I am indeed very short of money right now. When I have money in the future, I will definitely give you and Ayuan a big red envelope. Haitang, Uncle Xin thanks you."
At this point, Zhao Chengxin stood up and bowed to Haitang.
Haitang was startled and quickly said, "Uncle Xin, please don't do this. I can't accept it."
After helping Zhao Chengxin to his seat, the two discussed the details of the merger of the two gangs.
Zhao Chengxin agreed to all of Haitang's conditions without hesitation.
Finally, Zhao Chengxin said, "Haitang, after the integration of the Tiandi Alliance and the Donghu Gang's industries is completed, I will leave you and Ayuan each with five percent. No matter how these industries develop in the future, your shares will never change."
Haitang knew this was the only way Zhao Chengxin could express his gratitude right now, so she nodded and said, "Thank you, Uncle Xin."
By observing Zhao Chengxin's words and actions, Shen Dong could tell that he was a magnanimous, decisive, and grateful person.
This made Shen Dong have a very good impression of him.
At 10:00 AM, Shen Dong, Haitang, and Zhao Chengxin met Zhou Chaoxian at a well-known coffee shop in Xionggao.
Unlike the movie "Black Gold," the man in front of us, Zhou Chaoxian, is tall and strong, with a high nose bridge and sharp eyes. He is a handsome man, much more so than the Hong Kong film star who played him.
Unfortunately, his arrogant and domineering attitude caused Shen Dong's impression of him to plummet instantly.
Seeing that Zhao Chengxin had also come, Zhou Chaoxian was somewhat surprised and said, "Alliance Leader Zhao, what brings you here?"
Zhao Chengxin said calmly, "Haitang is my cousin's daughter. How could I stand idly by if she's in danger?"
Zhou Chaoxian said with an "Oh," and then said, "I see. Miss Haitang, this must be the famous Mr. Shen Dong from Hong Kong Island, right?"
Haitang nodded and said, "That's right."
Zhou Chaoxian extended his hand and said, "Mr. Shen, it's a pleasure to meet you."
Shen Dong looked at him for a while, until Zhou Chaoxian's face showed some displeasure, then shook his hand and said, "Mr. Zhou, hello."
Everyone took their seats.
Zhou Chaoxian had his men bring over four cups of coffee, saying, "I've booked this entire coffee shop; everyone can speak freely."
Shen Dong said bluntly, "Mr. Zhou, I hope you can immediately withdraw your assassination attempt on Haitang."
Zhou Chaoxian laughed and said, "Mr. Shen, are you mistaken? How could I possibly send someone to kill Miss Haitang?"
Shen Dong said in a deep voice, "If you withdraw the assassination order from Angel Wings, the Donghu Gang and the Heaven and Earth Alliance will help you garner votes in the central and southern regions. If you don't withdraw it, I guarantee that you and Director Hou Guangming behind you won't live more than three days."
