Seeing Song Qiang's hesitant expression, Long San frowned.
"Brother Song Qiang, it's just a word from you! If you ever start any business in the future, I'll pave the way for you for free! How about it?"
Long San urged him on, but his heart was pounding with anxiety, fearing that the other party might shake his head and refuse.
Song Qiang was pondering this in his heart. He had no intention of letting go of this big fish, but once he fell out with Long San, the two sides would be locked in a life-or-death struggle, which would be of no benefit to either of them.
Thinking of this, one of Song Qiang's assistants coughed softly.
Song Qiang immediately turned around and glanced at the other person, and found that the other person seemed to have something to say to him, so he apologized to Long San.
"Brother Qiang, I don't think Long San is giving us any face at all! He opened a meat processing plant and just wants to pass through our area without saying a word! Does he really think we're all just decorations? Even if we give him passage, we should at least take something in return, otherwise, our men will lose heart!"
Song Qiang had already thought of this, but he couldn't decide on the appropriate amount yet.
"How much will you charge? How will you charge?"
After a moment of contemplation, the other person held up three fingers.
"Thirty percent?"
The assistant nodded: "That's right, 30%, not much! If we rob him, it won't be 30%! He should agree!"
Song Qiang nodded: "Alright! We can't just let this big fish get away with it! What if this guy teams up with the people in the business district to come after us?"
So, Song Qiang sorted out his thoughts and put on a smiling face.
"Brother Long, I can actually accept your terms, but my men need to eat and drink too! We're in charge of District 55, we can't just let my brothers work for free! What do you say?"
Upon hearing the other person's words, Long San's brows bulged with veins, and he mentally cursed the other person's immediate female relatives.
"Then what does Brother Song Qiang mean?"
"Ahem! You have to give me some money for the toll, otherwise how am I supposed to explain this to my men?" A cunning glint flashed in Song Qiang's eyes.
"Toll fee? Brother Song Qiang, isn't that a bit like you double-crossing me? We're all in the same circle, we'll run into each other all the time, is it appropriate for you to charge me a toll fee?"
Song Qiang, however, seemed completely unconcerned: "Why is it inappropriate! Does that mean it's appropriate for you to use my territory for free?"
"you!"
Long San was a little angry. Although he had thought of this when he came, he really couldn't accept the other party's tone. However, after thinking about it, he realized that he was here to make peace talks, so he had to talk first. Why waste words if he just went to fight?
"Good! Very good, Brother Song. So tell me how much toll fee you want?" Long San's eyes flashed with a cold light. He hated being threatened.
"Fifty percent!"
Song Qiang bluntly stated his thoughts.
Upon hearing this, not only was Long San stunned, but even his assistant behind him was also stunned.
Wasn't it agreed that it would be 30%? It's gone up to 50% now?! Oh no! The other party is definitely going to be furious!
The assistant's face showed panic, and he immediately put his hands behind his back and made a gesture to the person behind him, indicating that he was ready to fight.
As expected, Long San immediately became furious, and before he could even speak, the big guy next to him pointed at Song Qiang's nose and cursed.
"You bastard surnamed Song! You really dare to ask for such an exorbitant amount! 50%? Why don't you just say you'd give me the factory!"
Long San felt powerless when he heard the thoughtless words spoken by the big guy next to him.
Before Long San could speak, a sinister glint flashed across Song Qiang's face.
"Hehe! Okay! Then give me the factory! I'll run it for you! You'll get 50% of the toll fees! How about it?"
"Don't you dare push your luck!"
Behind Brother Long, another underling couldn't help but start arguing with Song Qiang.
The situation between the two sides suddenly became extremely tense.
"Long San, who do you think you are! How dare you boss me around like that! Do you really think you're the boss of this area? Let me tell you! You're not getting through today without paying at least 50% of the toll!"
The veins on Long San's forehead were almost solidified.
"So there's no room for negotiation?"
Song Qiang crossed his arms and looked at the other party with displeasure: "You're the one who insisted on talking to me! Now your men are talking to me like this! How am I supposed to get along with my brothers in the future! If you want to continue talking, fine! Have those guys kowtow to me three times! Otherwise, let's not talk!"
After speaking, Song Qiang took a step back, then took the cigarette handed to him by his assistant and lit it.
Long San was furious with his own people. He was just about to have a proper talk when this happened.
"Bullshit! Who do you think you are, making us kneel? Brother Long! Stop wasting your breath on him! Fight them!" Big Guy said fiercely, clearly indignant.
"Shut up!"
Long San finally couldn't hold back any longer and turned to look at the big guy with a face full of anger.
"Uh... Big brother? What... what do you mean by this?"
Long San also knew that things had come to this point and there was no point in continuing the negotiations. He had finally gotten the other party to offer a price, but his incompetent teammate had put both sides in an awkward situation.
"Song Qiang! Don't push your luck! You were the one who started this by not speaking properly, so you need to take responsibility for this!"
