Return of the King, Dominating the City-Chapter 1523 - 1508: Pulling the Wool Over Someone’s Eyes
"I thought your ambition would have grown by now, but it seems you’re still the same as before." Qingluan affectionately reached out to pat Song Yun’s head and said, "What you want is exactly what I want."
"Hahaha, by that time, I’ll definitely be able to beat you!" Song Yun said earnestly.
"I’ll be waiting." Qingluan said with a smile, "However, I can already feel that you’re getting stronger. Your growth rate has surpassed my progress. Beating me is just a matter of time."
"That’s a must!" Song Yun said smugly while rubbing his nose, "By the way, Qingluan, do you have any good insights regarding the Zhou family in Beijing?"
"Actually, dealing with the Zhou family is just about dealing with both the Zhou and Li families. As long as we distract the Li family so they can’t help the Zhou family, then with the current strength of the Zhou family, they are not much of an obstacle to the Song Family. Once they are pushed to the bottom, they won’t be able to recover." Qingluan said.
"We’ll just have to wait for the right opportunity!" Song Yun said, "The Red Wall definitely won’t allow us to completely suppress the Zhou family; only maintaining balance is the key. If we take action against the Zhou family now, Red Wall will surely retaliate against us!"
"Exactly." Qingluan said, "What we need to do now is continue weaving a net to ensnare the Zhou family. Once the time is right, we can crush the Zhou family in one fell swoop. Even if the Red Wall has something to say or is dissatisfied by then, it will already be too late."
"My head is spinning; give me a rub!" Song Yun said, "There’s still unfinished business, and now I have to think about something else. If I keep using my brain like this, I’ll get brain atrophy sooner or later."
"The more you use your brain, the better it gets. You’re much smarter now than you were before." Qingluan said.
"Are you saying I’m very smart now?" Song Yun boasted.
"No, I’m saying you were very silly before." Qingluan showed an enchanting smile.
Song Yun’s face fell as he exclaimed, "You can’t just hit someone like this; I demand a hug, a kiss, a roll on the bed!"
"Come on then!"
Qingluan laughed and ran forward, and Song Yun chuckled, quickly chasing after her.
Meanwhile, on the other side.
"It’s a pleasure to meet you today, Mr. Wen."
Sam walked out of the hotel alongside Wen Changlin, his face quite flushed, and his eyes somewhat unfocused, suggesting he had not drank little wine.
"The pleasure is mine!" Wen Changlin said with a smile, "With your capabilities internationally, I believe if we collaborate, we will surely make big profits, and by then, our profit split should be at least 60-40!"
"Yes, yes, if we manage to do business, I should at least get a 40% share!" Sam said with a smile.
"No, no, no!" Wen Changlin shook his head quickly.
"Is it 30% then?" Sam’s face changed slightly, asking.
"No, I mean you take 60%, I take 40%. You see, you’re the one bringing in the goods from outside. The customs side is also your connection, while I’m just responsible for domestic sales. The fact I can take 40% is already quite a lot. In business, us Shen Zhou people put great emphasis on integrity!" Wen Changlin said, "This time the iPhone XX has already been released, Mr. Sam, if possible, I hope next time you come you could bring a batch in. There’s a high demand for this in our country!"
"The iPhone XX is selling like hotcakes abroad, always out of stock. I’ll try and see if I can get a batch from their headquarters. Mr. Wen, you’re the most honest and adorable Shen Zhou person I’ve ever met. When I return home, if I can get the goods, I’ll bring them over as soon as possible. By then, we’ll go 50-50, as proof of our friendship!" Sam said.
"Alright, 50-50 it is. Mr. Sam, where are you staying? I’ll have someone take you there." Wen Changlin said.
"XX Hotel." Sam answered.
"Okay. Xiao Chen, arrange for someone to take Mr. Sam back!" Wen Changlin instructed his secretary beside him.
"Okay." The secretary nodded, leading Sam away. Looking at the seemingly intoxicated Wen Changlin, there wasn’t the slightest hint of drunkenness.
Wen Changlin made a direct call to White Tiger, saying, "Sam has left, we can start."
"Alright!" White Tiger’s voice came from the other end of the line.
"Sam, where are you?"
Sam was now sitting in the car arranged by Wen Changlin. Hearing his phone ring, Sam picked it up; it was a call from White Tiger.
Sam and White Tiger were quite familiar with each other. Both were partners with Ma ChunTian. Generally, Sam’s smuggled goods were facilitated by White Tiger making connections with the customs. Once the connections were made, Sam could safely bring in the goods and then the profits would be split.
So, Sam and White Tiger could at least be considered partners.
"I’m in the car."
Sam said with somewhat unfocused eyes, "What is it?"
"The goods have successfully come in. The boss wants me to find you and follow the usual steps. I’ll go to your hotel later to settle the account with you." White Tiger said.
"Isn’t it usually your men who settle it? Why are you coming personally this time?" White Tiger asked in confusion.
"I’m available tonight." White Tiger said, "Also, because we moved fewer goods this time, the boss is a bit dissatisfied, so I need to discuss a few things with you."
"Oh... alright, I’ll be at the hotel in ten minutes. Come over then." Sam said.
"Okay."
After saying this, White Tiger hung up the phone, and after pondering for a moment, White Tiger called Song Yun.
"Where are you?"
White Tiger asked.
"Admiring the moon at the Bund." Song Yun said casually, "Brother Hu, getting a call from you at this hour, it’s usually not a good thing."
"Good thing, a very big good thing." White Tiger said, "I want to take you to meet Sam, are you interested? I think your eloquence is better than mine, and we need you to persuade Sam to join Wen Changlin. It won’t do without you."
"This..." Song Yun glanced at Qingluan and then said, "Alright, I’ll take my wife along."
"Your wife," White Tiger asked surprised, "which wife?"
Song Yun smiled awkwardly and said, "It’s Qingluan."
"Qingluan!! She’s back with you." White Tiger asked in surprise.
"Yep, just came back today."
"Then come together." White Tiger said with a laugh, "She’s my sister-in-law, haha."
Hanging up the call, Song Yun said to Qingluan, "Qingluan, there’s something tonight, accompany me to see White Tiger, will you?"
"Okay." Qingluan nodded and said no more.
