Chapter 767 Meeting Together
Su Mu wanted to stand on the resort's side and help it unify the entire Delta region. These words sounded very fake, but he seemed sincere, which made me unable to figure out what he really wanted to do.
Is it a genuine desire to help the resort, or is there another motive, a desire to exploit the resort's advantages for some other purpose?
In short, we cannot completely believe Su Mu's claim that the dam poses a threat to us. Jingjie and the others have also heard about it, but since they have not seen the situation inside the dam with their own eyes, everything is still unknown, and they cannot completely believe it.
I didn't know what to do next. Around nine o'clock in the morning, the meeting that hadn't ended yesterday was rescheduled for today, except there were two more people than yesterday, namely me and Pu Weichao.
Pu Weichao seemed to already know about yesterday's meeting, so Sister Jing and the others didn't say much and directly continued yesterday's topic to discuss with Su Mu.
The topic they were discussing was simple: the cooperation between the resort and Jiangbei. To be honest, I'm not optimistic about this cooperation. After all, Su Mu's ambitions are clear. If they want to cooperate, it depends on how much Su Mu is willing to compromise. However, I estimate that Su Mu will not make any significant concessions. He has been at the resort for three days, and today's meeting is the third day of the meeting, yet there is still no conclusion. This shows that Su Mu has no intention of giving up those benefits.
But this is normal. If we really do as Sister Jing and the others say, Jiangbei will indeed suffer a great loss. It's like letting Su Mu bring Jiangbei's people directly into the resort. Even if it were me, I wouldn't agree to that.
Moreover, Su Mu was someone who was meticulous and calculating.
Negotiations failed, so cooperation was out of the question. Pu Weichao didn't say a word from beginning to end, and I had no idea what he was planning. I just watched from the side without interrupting. Sister Jing is becoming more and more like a leader, and with Chu Yu's help, she basically had the upper hand throughout the negotiations.
Even if you have the upper hand, it's useless. As long as Su Mu doesn't give in, nothing you do will make a difference.
Two hours later, it was already noon, and everyone was getting hungry. The meeting hadn't yielded any results, so there was really no need to continue the discussion.
Pu Weichao said directly, "Alright, stop talking. There's no point in continuing. Neither of you will back down. What's the point of talking at a meeting like this?"
Sister Jing was a little annoyed, "If it's not difficult, are you suggesting I use force?"
Pu Weichao frowned, not expecting Sister Jing to be so argumentative at this time. He glanced at Su Mu and said, "Unifying the entire Delta region cannot be solved by just one negotiation meeting. Right now, only the two of you are arguing about this. Central Town and Yao Chengjie don't even know that you are having a meeting here. Do you really think that if the two of you unite, you can really make Central Town and Yao Chengjie submit?"
Both Jingjie and Su Mu were stunned.
Chu Yu's mentor had no expression on his face, as if he had expected this. He didn't say anything, and I was very curious about his reasons for doing so.
Pu Weichao continued, "Alright, that's enough for today. Lu Jing, send two people later to notify Xu Sanshui and Yao Chengjie to come over for a meeting to discuss how to resolve this matter. What's the use of you two just spouting nonsense here? Let's call it a day."
Jingjie's face was not good. Pu Weichao's words were not harsh, but they hit the nail on the head regarding her and Su Mu's current situation. Indeed, what use would it be if just the two of them negotiated? If others did not agree, even if the resort and Jiangbei joined forces, it might not work.
At noon, Sister Jing didn't send anyone to make contact; instead, she contacted them directly via walkie-talkie.
I learned from asking that Fei Lichao had set up some transit stations between Yaojia Community in the central town of the resort and Jiangbei. People lived in these transit stations and were responsible for communication between the two communities, as well as the surrounding defenses. They were also an important factor in maintaining stability between the communities.
I never expected Fei Lichao to be so amazing, to come up with such an awesome move.
We hadn't eaten yet, so I pulled Chu Yu outside and asked bluntly, "Do you have some kind of plan?"
Chu Yu looked at me and asked, "What do you mean?"
I said, "What else could it mean? All those things Sister Jing said and the plans she made before, were they all your ideas? Do you want to wipe out the entire Jiangbei?"
Chu Yu smiled and said, "I didn't mean that. I just want Jiangbei to be under our control."
"Why?" I was a little confused. Sister Jing had expressed the same idea during the negotiations, but she was more subtle and not so direct.
Chu Yu said, "There's no reason why. Jiangbei is too powerful now. It has the largest population and the strongest strength among the four communities. If we continue to let it dominate, it will only lead to its own destruction. Su Mu understands this, which is why he wants to cooperate with the resort. His purpose is not to cooperate and unify with everyone, but to win over the resort and get it on his side. In this way, everything will be much simpler. Without the resort, the central town and Yaojia community will not dare to take action against Jiangbei."
I was stunned for a moment. Is that so?
Su Mu came here not for cooperation, but for dictatorial unification?
Chu Yu saw my confusion. "Otherwise, why didn't Su Mu call the other two leaders over? Why did he only come to the resort to negotiate? Isn't that obvious enough? His goal is to control the resort in order to counterbalance the other two, because he knows very well that once the resort and the other two unite, Jiangbei will be finished."
...
About half an hour later, Xu Sanshui from the central town arrived. We were having lunch when he arrived.
He entered the villa and saw us, exclaiming in surprise, "Weren't you supposed to be having a meeting? Why are you eating?"
I said, "Let's have some food first, then we'll continue the meeting this afternoon. Uncle Xu, have you eaten? Want to join us?"
Xu Sanshui waved his hand and said, "No need for you. I ate in the car. You guys take your time eating. I'm going out for a walk."
Half an hour later, Yao Chengjie arrived. We had finished eating, and after calling Xu Sanshui, who was wandering around the resort, back, we all returned to the conference room to continue the meeting.
Pu Weichao, who hadn't said a word all morning, spoke up first, getting ahead of everyone else.
"Everyone is gathered here today for one purpose, and that is about unification."
