Inheritance of Two Trillion-Chapter 2288 - 1733: Another Business Alliance

As Bai Xiaosheng and his team arrived at Huajing Airport, there was an exclusive members-only high-end club above the Second Ring Road in Huajing. In one of the rooms, a meeting was beginning, and everyone present was a notable figure in the business world.

The leader was a tall and burly middle-aged man with tiger-like eyes and sword-like eyebrows, exuding an extraordinary aura. He was Jia Chengshan, the chairman of the Jia Group of the Jia Family.

Seated to Jia Chengshan’s left was a middle-aged man with a thin appearance and rugged cheekbones. At first glance, he seemed unremarkable, but his eyes emitted a shrewd gleam. He was Lu Tiandao, the chairman of Wanhu Group.

On Jia Chengshan’s right was a refined middle-aged man, more handsome than the other two, with a neat beard, resembling a literary scholar more than a businessman. He was Zhang Qinglin, the chairman of Ziyu Group.

Besides these three, there were four others, each representing a significant force in the business world.

Two years ago, the families of Jia Chengshan and the other two were nearly as powerful as Tengyun Group’s Lu Yun, and to this day, only the Jia Family of Jia Chengshan had a smaller gap with Tengyun Group.

At this moment, the business alliance formed by these seven families was discussing an important matter, which was the reason they came to Huajing.

"This time, following your request, Brother Jia, we leaked the news to them. That piece of land, which the three Tengyun families are determined to acquire, knowing we plan to intervene, will surely bring their key figures," said Zhang Qinglin, the chairman of Ziyu Group, to Jia Chengshan of the Jia Group.

Lu Tiandao, the chairman of Wanhu Group, couldn’t help but interject, "The potential value of that land is incredibly high. Why don’t we just take it this time? It would be a good deal."

Jia Chengshan chuckled and looked at Lu Tiandao, saying, "Brother Lu, you have quite the appetite, wanting to snatch food from the mouths of those three groups. The seven of us here might have to bleed a lot, plus the development costs. Is it really worth it? If that’s the case, aren’t we bound to become enemies with Lu Yun and his people from Tengyun Group? Is that our original intention?"

Zhang Qinglin, the chairman of Ziyu Group, also said, "Brother Jia is right. No matter how profitable the project is, it’s not worth making a few formidable enemies."

Seeing this, Lu Tiandao dryly laughed and said, "I was just saying."

The other four, including Cheng Xuanbei’s father, looked at the three speakers and said, "Mr. Jia is right. This is our final step in tightly pursuing Tengyun, Beifeng, and Haoyu. Let’s not turn a good thing bad."

"Yes, our original intention is not to become enemies."

"This time, it’s best if we can meet Xiahou Qi of Zhenbei Group, or Lu Yun of Tengyun, or Dong Tianlu of Beifeng, and have a good talk with them..."

The leader, Jia Chengshan, surveyed everyone present and slowly said, "Actually, we’re all sitting here with the same goal. We unite to compete with several groups, including Tengyun. What are we aiming for? Cooperation!"

"Ladies and gentlemen, for the past two years, we all know that others have partnered with the invisible business alliance founded by Bai Xiaosheng of Zhenbei Group, allowing them to advance rapidly. By the time we noticed, they had already surpassed us by a great distance. Now, wanting to join them, if we follow ordinary negotiation strategies, we would certainly be subordinate to those groups at Tengyun, whether in terms of resources or recognition, which would not satisfy any of us here. And frankly, quite a few among us have had conflicts with them in past business competitions. So, what should we do?"

"Thanks to everyone’s trust, by forming an alliance with my Jia Family, we showcase our strength through legitimate competition. If our business alliance merges with theirs, wouldn’t Bai Xiaosheng have no choice but to take us seriously? The resources provided to us might not be higher than any at Tengyun, but they certainly wouldn’t be less."

After Jia Chengshan’s speech, everyone nodded, acknowledging the brilliance of competing to show strength and then negotiating cooperation. The Jia Family’s willingness to include them this time was rare and welcome since the Jia Family’s strength far surpassed that of anyone present.

Everyone nodded in agreement, and Zhang Qinglin stated, "I hope we can hook a big fish tomorrow after all the painstaking efforts we’ve put into this."

"Indeed!" Lu Tiandao replied with a smile.

After discussing the main matters, Jia Chengshan smiled at everyone, saying, "The club we’re staying at is the closest, most convenient, and comfortable place near the land auction site. There’s news that their people will also be staying here."

In fact, Jia Chengshan knew that Dong Tianxiu of Beifeng Group was staying in a nearby suite.

"Tonight, there will be a lively event to witness here—it’s the club’s tenth-anniversary celebration, where celebrities will gather, stars will shine, and various interesting performances will take place. Everyone should relax, and perhaps, there might be an unexpected surprise, meeting a significant figure worth networking with."

Everyone nodded.

Lu Tiandao jokingly added, "If anyone happens to meet Xiahou Qi or Lu Yun, be sure to communicate so that our Brother Jia can have an early conversation with them. Meeting at the land auction site might be a bit late."

If they could acquire that land, they wouldn’t want to miss it, and they could use it to negotiate cooperation with Xiahou Qi and Tengyun.

In short, Jia Chengshan devised several plans, able to adapt as necessary.

After discussing everything that needed to be said, Jia Chengshan turned to everyone and said, "Let’s adjourn for now. Feel free to move around, and we’ll meet again tonight."

Everyone departed, except one who approached. He had a smiling face full of wrinkles, most likely from smiling too much. He was Cheng Baida, Cheng Xuanbei’s father.

Seeing him approach, Jia Chengshan laughed.

"Cheng, what is it?" 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

Cheng Baida’s business was the smallest among all those present; to figures like Lu Tiandao and Zhang Qinglin, it was almost unremarkable. However, Jia Chengshan still included him.

Cheng Baida smiled and said:

"I heard that our Prince Jia also arrived in Huajing today. Xuanbei is at the airport now, eager to meet him and seek advice on business."

These words clearly hinted at getting closer, but Jia Chengshan laughed heartily, "That’s great. It’s always good for the young ones to have an ambitious spirit."

Cheng Baida’s face was full of smiles as he nodded and agreed, then chatted a bit more with Jia Chengshan before leaving.

Once everyone had left, Jia Chengshan appeared thoughtful, a smile emerging on his face.

This time, partners big and small would benefit, but ultimately, they were merely pawns. Once they collaborated with Bai Xiaosheng of Zhenbei Group, achieving their independent stronghold, the influence and authority they held would be unparalleled by Lu Yun. Over time, their stronghold in this business alliance would only grow larger.

Even if it meant sidelining Bai Xiaosheng, it might not be impossible!
