After all, he already knew that the higher-ups were going to target capitalists, and the Gu family's recent unusual behavior suggested that they were probably planning to flee.
They're probably here to ask for protection so they can leave.
Gu Weiguo smiled and said, "Director Chen, my father-in-law and I came to see you today not because of that, but because we have something more important to discuss with you."
Chen Kangren poured them a cup of tea and asked, "I wonder what matters you two wish to discuss with us?"
Gu Weiguo said, "Director Chen, it's like this, we're planning to develop our business in Guangzhou and move our whole family there."
"However, if we move during the day, it might make too much noise, so we thought we'd leave at night so as not to affect Beijing."
"However, leaving in the middle of the night will definitely cause some noise, so we were thinking that Director Chen, could you send someone to smooth things over?"
"Of course, we certainly won't let Director Chen work for nothing. We will definitely present him with 50 large yellow croakers."
Upon hearing Gu Weiguo's words, Chen Kangren couldn't help but feel a sense of scorn.
To flee is to flee, yet you describe it in such a refined and elegant way.
You think you can get rid of him with just 50 large yellow croakers?
Does this person think they're a beggar?
then.
He said, "Brother Gu, what are you saying? If you want to move your whole family to Guangzhou, there is naturally no problem. In fact, you can just move directly. We don't need to send any manpower to smooth things over at all."
Upon hearing Chen Kangren's words, Gu Weiguo and Fang Junfeng knew that the other party thought it was too little.
Fang Junfeng cut to the chase: "Director Chen, just name your price. As long as we can accept it, we'll have no objections!"
Chen Kangren, however, calmly poured himself a cup of tea and savored it: "Brother Fang, what are you saying? What price should I quote? Didn't I say that if you really want to move your whole family to Guangzhou, then there's no need for us to send anyone to smooth things over?"
Fang Junfeng said, "Director Chen, there's no point in saying that. Our whole family is moving; you can't possibly not know what we're trying to say."
"So, Director Chen, just name your price!"
Gu Weiguo quickly added, "Director Chen, we're old friends, you absolutely have to help me with this."
"Price is negotiable!"
Chen Kangren, however, still acted as if to say, "You can move if you want, I don't need to send any manpower to smooth things over."
This infuriated Fang Junfeng and Gu Weiguo.
Finally, they increased the reward from 50 large yellow croakers to 500 large yellow croakers.
However, to their anger, Chen Kangren was still not satisfied.
It's still the same.
This made them extremely angry, their faces turning incredibly ugly.
Seeing their grim expressions, Chen Kangren remained unmoved; he even felt like laughing.
Moreover, if the Gu and Fang families were to flee Beijing, he would no longer be able to obtain any benefits from them. Therefore, he would naturally make them return a large portion of their family assets this time.
Otherwise, why should I clear the way for them?
Do you think you can get me to do anything with just 500 large yellow croakers?
Dream on!
Gu Weiguo took a deep breath and looked at Chen Kangren, saying, "Director Chen, how about this, I won't mention how many large yellow croakers there are, I'll just give you 30% of my Gu family's wealth."
"We just hope that Director Chen can protect us when we move out."
