Yao Mu's wife was also stunned when she saw his reaction, and couldn't help but say:
"Master, what's wrong with you?"
Yao Mu, who had always been very kind to his wife, was unusually impatient today and waved his hand, saying:
"It's none of your business. Just continue eating. I'm going to go out for a while."
After saying that, he walked straight to the door. When Mrs. Yao saw that her master was really going out, she quickly stood up, picked up the coat hanging on the coat rack, and was about to put it on Yao Mu.
"Master, it's cold outside, put on a coat, don't catch a cold."
They were an old couple, so Yao Mu naturally stretched out his hand and Mrs. Yao put his coat on him.
After getting out of the house and into the car, Yao Mu waved to his wife who was standing at the door, signaling her to go back.
In this way, Yao Mu, accompanied by several of his men, drove hurriedly to the food stalls on Stanley Street.
...
...
The food stalls on Stanley Street are also interesting. Originally, this place was the territory of the Wo Hop Tu, but it was robbed by the 14K last time. But because of Fang Lang and his friends, all the people of the 14K were arrested.
As a result, no one dares to enter Stanley Street easily. The Central Police Station has also strengthened its management of this area, and uniformed police officers come to patrol from time to time.
The result is that Stanley Street has become an isolated vacuum. Sometimes, some bigwigs want to discuss things with other bigwigs, but are worried that something might go wrong on the other side's territory, so they simply meet here for supper, and everyone feels more at ease.
As for whether this situation will continue, it is hard to say. After all, the police are paying attention to this place because they are worried about when Fang Lang will go for a midnight snack. But after Fang Lang leaves the port city, it is not certain whether the police will continue to pay attention to this place.
At this time, Bai Cunbao was having supper at a food stall with a middle-aged man who looked rough, with skin as bumpy as the surface of the moon and a head of curly hair. Several tables around the supper stall were empty, but the other tables not far away were obviously occupied by the younger brothers brought by both parties.
In this situation, anyone with a discerning eye can tell what is going on, so the two nearby food stalls are sparsely populated with customers.
"Boss Bai, you haven't been involved in the underworld for a long time. How come you are free to ask me out for a midnight snack today?"
Juanmao Kang was indeed very surprised by Bai Cunbao's sudden invitation. You know, Bai Cunbao is not an ordinary man in the underworld. In recent years, he has been doing a booming business in Gangcheng and Huacheng, and he can not only get penicillin and food that are in urgent need in the market.
He also cooperated with the Kuomintang and the Hong Kong City Government to transport many refugees away like selling pigs, which not only brought the government urgently needed food and funds, but also reduced the population pressure on the Hong Kong City Government. Therefore, Bai Cunbao is no longer a person of the same level as them.
He associates with wealthy businessmen and high-ranking government officials, and has long since escaped from the dirty quagmire of low-level society.
But such a big gangster suddenly invited him to have supper today, how could he not be surprised! But now Bai Cunbao is indeed a big shot that he cannot refuse.
Therefore, he came out without any hesitation. After all, if such a big shot needed him, he would definitely get a lot of benefits.
Bai Cunbao held a cigar between his legs and smoked it slowly, saying:
"Haha... You, Curly-haired Kang, are doing very well now! It's only natural for me to invite you to dinner!"
Juanmao Kang didn't dare to act presumptuously in front of Bai Cunbao, and waved his hands repeatedly:
"Boss Bai, you are joking. Compared with you, I am not doing well at all! I can barely make a living.
Didn't I come running to see you as soon as I heard your call? I hope you can help me more!"
Seeing that the other party was so humble, Bai Cunbao did not continue to hold it, but took out a cigar from his jacket pocket and handed it over, saying:
"I wouldn't say I can help you, but if you really want to, I can show you a way."
When Juanmao Kang heard Bai Cunbao's words, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes. At the same time, he slightly bowed, took the cigar handed over by Bai Cunbao with both hands and said:
"Are you serious, Boss Bai?"
"Of course I take it seriously. Let me tell you the truth! Someone has taken a fancy to your way of shipping goods from Haojiang and thinks you have the potential for cooperation, so I came forward to talk to you."
Bai Cunbao didn't waste any time and went straight to the point.
Upon hearing this, Juanmao Kang frowned. To be honest, his channels for selling goods in Haojiang are nothing compared to those big guys in Hong Kong. No matter the scale or quantity, they cannot be compared with those in Hong Kong.
He was a little confused as to why the other party would give up the Hong Kong channel and cooperate with him on the Haojiang channel.
"Boss Bai, I don't know what kind of cooperation you are talking about?"
As soon as Bai Cunbao saw the other party's expression, he knew that the other party had concerns. This situation was normal. It would be strange if he had no concerns after coming to him so rashly!
But he was not in a hurry. He knew what Fang Lang's real purpose was this time, and he was just trying to hook out another big fish.
No matter how much I talk with Curly Kang now, it will not be the final result.
"How we cooperate depends on your sincerity. If you are willing to contribute the entire channel, then we will naturally bring you on board to play together."
As soon as these words came out, Juanmao Kang felt his whole body tense up, and he began to guess the other party's purpose in looking for him.
"So, Boss Bai is interested in my sales channel in Haojiang, right?"
Feeling Curly Kang's vigilance, Boss Bai didn't mind. He took a slow puff of his cigar and said slowly:
“You could say that.”
The smile on Juanmao Kang's face froze, and he refused without hesitation:
"Please forgive me, Boss Bai. This channel is the livelihood of us and all the brothers in Zhongyi. I'm sorry we can't agree to it."
Hearing this, Bai Cunbao was not angry, but looked at the other party with a smile on his face and said:
"Haha... Curly Kang, don't rush to refuse. This matter is not necessarily a bad thing for you. On the contrary, it may be an opportunity for you to rise to prominence.
If you give up this opportunity, we will have to find someone else to work with. That may not be a good thing for you.”
In Bai Cunbao's opinion, this incident is indeed an opportunity for Juanmao Kang. After all, he knows very well how powerful the Fang family is. Once Juanmao Kang and the Fang family establish cooperation, the other party will surely become a big boss quickly.
But in Juanmao Kang's eyes, Bai Cunbao had ill intentions and was plotting to seize their and Zhongyi's supply channels. In the underworld, this was a territory where one had to risk their lives, so how could they allow outsiders to get involved? That was why he refused without hesitation.
Now, hearing Bai Cunbao's words, which seemed to contain a threat, he could not help but fly into a rage, and slammed the table and said:
"Boss Bai, I am not afraid of being scared. It's not that I look down on you. Although the territory of Haojiang is not big, it is not so easy to open up this channel. If you don't believe me, just come and try."
Seeing his actions, all the younger brothers behind both sides stood up suddenly, and the atmosphere instantly became tense.
But even so, Bai Cunbao still sat on the stool nonchalantly, smoking his cigar slowly and leisurely, as if Curly-Mao Kang was not slamming the table at him.
Looking at the furious Juanmao Kang opposite him, Bai Cunbao raised his eyebrows slightly and said slowly with a calm expression:
"Curly Kang, don't get excited. I have no dispute with you, and I came here to tell you something. Whether you listen or not is up to you.
However, I want to remind you that you only have one chance. If you don’t seize it, don’t regret it! ”
Bai Cunbao's performance made Juanmao Kang a little confused for a moment. It seemed different from what he thought. Originally, Juanmao Kang thought that Bai Cunbao was interested in his channel, but now it seems that this is not the case.
Just when he was in a dilemma and didn't know what to say, a generous voice came from afar.
"Haha...Brother Bai, how come you have time to come out for a midnight snack today?"
Upon hearing this voice, a smile unconsciously appeared on Bai Cunbao's lips. It seemed that the fish he was really looking for had taken the bait!
But he quickly stopped smiling, and turned to look in the direction of the voice with some confusion. After seeing who the other party was, he stood up and laughed loudly and said:
"Haha... I was wondering who it was! It turned out to be Chief Inspector Yao. Isn't this a coincidence? Are you free to come over for a midnight snack today?"
We are all thousand-year-old foxes, so we still have to learn how to play dumb.
After hearing Bai Cunbao's words, Yao Mu shook his head and strode over and said:
"Haha...Brother Bai, I'm not here for a midnight snack today. I'm here to see you. You're really not nice!"
Bai Cunbao didn't expect Yao Mu to be so direct. His expression froze and he pretended to be embarrassed and said:
"Haha... Chief Inspector Yao, what are you talking about? I've done nothing wrong, you can't wrongly accuse me!"
Curly-haired Kang standing aside has been a little confused since Chief Inspector Yao showed up. He doesn't understand what's going on today. As the Chief Chinese Inspector of Hong Kong City, Yao Mu has a huge influence in both the black and white worlds of Hong Kong City.
Now the other party was obviously coming for Bai Cunbao, but Bai Cunbao had asked him out, so he wouldn't have anything to do with it! Unfortunately, he obviously couldn't get a word in now. After Yao Mu came to him, he nodded to Yao Mu and said:
"Hello, Chief Inspector Yao!"
Hearing Juanmao Kang greeting him, Yao Mu turned around and looked him up and down, then said in a playful tone:
"Congratulations! Curly Kang, I never thought that you would have a lucky day!"
After hearing this, Juanmao Kang became even more confused. What was going on? Why did his luck suddenly turn around?
"Chief Inspector Yao, you are joking. Whether we, the short mules, can have a turn of events depends on whether you, Chief Inspector Yao, are willing to give us a chance."
His words also made Yao Mu stunned. He looked at Juanmao Kang, then at Bai Cunbao, and turned to Bai Cunbao with some confusion and said:
"What do you mean? Brother Bai, what are you doing..."
Seeing Yao Mu's reaction, Bai Cunbao spread his hands and said with an innocent expression, "It's none of my business."
"Chief Inspector Yao, don't look at me like that! I've already told you, I really just came here for a midnight snack."
As soon as these words came out, Yao Mu's eyes changed, and he felt that the two were unwilling to tell him the truth. With Bai Cunbao's current status, it was difficult for him to do anything to the other party, but he could still easily control the loyal Juanmao Kang.
Now Curly Kang is obviously not honest. Isn't this a challenge to his authority as the Chief Chinese Inspector? He will not allow such a situation to happen in Hong Kong.
So, he fixed his eyes and turned directly to Curly-haired Kang Dao:
"Curly Kang, tell me honestly, did Boss Bai really come to you for a midnight snack?"
Yao Mu's attitude made Juanmao Kang a little confused for a while. The conversation between him and Bai Cunbao was like a riddle, which made him confused.
But he also heard from Bai Cunbao's words just now that Bai Cunbao didn't want Yao Mu to know his purpose in looking for him.
He didn't think it was necessary for him to keep Bai Cunbao's secret. The two of them didn't have such a good relationship. In addition, the other party's purpose was obviously ill-intentioned, so it was even more impossible for him to keep it secret for the other party.
"Chief Inspector Yao, you came at the right time. Boss Bai, this senior in the underworld, doesn't follow the rules of the underworld. He asked me to come here this time because he has his eyes on my sales channels in Haojiang.
You know, Zhongyi and I are not big organizations in Hong Kong. We rely on the business in Haojiang to support our brothers. Now Boss Bai wants us to hand over our channels without any words. Can we agree to this?"
Upon hearing this, Yao Mu immediately understood Bai Cunbao's purpose this time. He knew very well who Bai Cunbao relied on to achieve the current status of Dashengtang.
Why didn't the other party plan to take advantage of Hezhongyi's Haojiang channel earlier, but now suddenly set their eyes on Hezhongyi's Haojiang channel? Needless to say, it must be that Brazil Hongyitang has set its eyes on this channel.
Otherwise, why did Bai Cunbao come forward to meet Juanmao Kang as soon as the people from Hongyitang in Brazil approached him?
It is now obvious that Juanmao Kang thinks that Bai Cunbao wants to directly take over his sales channels, so he is unwilling to do so.
"Boss Bai, this is too much. Haojiang's distribution channel is the lifeline of the company and Zhongyi. How can you plot against other people's lifeline?"
Hearing this, Bai Cunbao was not angry, but smiled and said to Juanmao Kang:
"Curly Kang, are you sure I told you that I was interested in your sales channels?"
These words made Juanmao Kang stunned. After thinking about it carefully, it seemed that it was not true. What the other party said was that someone had taken a fancy to his sales channel, but he did not say that he was the one who took a fancy to it.
Without waiting for Juanmao Kang to answer, Bai Cunbao said slowly:
"And what I said seemed to be, if you are willing to take the initiative to contribute your channels, we will take you on board. I never said that if you don't take the initiative to contribute, we will snatch your channels!"
Hearing this, Juanmao Kang was speechless again, because from the beginning to the end, Bai Cunbao seemed to have never said that he wanted to directly take over his channel. Instead, he responded after he lost his temper and said that it could be understood in this way.
When Yao Mu saw Curly Kang's expression, he knew the real situation and couldn't help but look at this brainless guy with contempt.
He turned to look at Bai Cunbao and said:
"Brother Bai, you see, this is where you are wrong! We agreed to advance and retreat together, and now you are being so mean!"
When Juanmao Kang first heard Yao Mu's words, he thought Yao Mu was going to stand up for him! But after hearing what he said later, he felt that something was wrong. What was this about advancing and retreating together? It was not nice. It had nothing to do with stealing his channels.
Could it be that Yao Mu and Bai Cunbao are in the same group? Thinking of this, Juanmao Kang couldn't help but feel nervous.
