Chapter 443 There is no free lunch in the world
Lu Shanmin's current relationship with Luo Xing is very delicate, the Rose Bar and the three bars on Zhigang Avenue have Luo Xing's shares, which is a partnership, but Luo Xing is actually attached to Chen Ran, although this attachment is not very close, but it is also similar to the relationship between North Korea and China hundreds of years ago.
And Chen Ran's relationship with him is also very delicate, there are contradictions and estrangements, and now it can be regarded as a tacit partnership to a certain extent, and more importantly, it also involves the Hai family's calculations against him.
It confirms the old saying in business, 'There are no eternal friends, no eternal enemies, only eternal interests'.
He can come to this point, it can be said that most of the reasons are due to the Hai family, Zuoqiu once said that except for the fact that Hai Donglai will fall in love with Ruan Yu by accident, there is a figure of the Hai family every step he takes.
Even if there was no matter of Hai Donglai and Ruan Yu that caused him to hate the Hai family, Lu Shanmin still had no good impression of the Hai family. On the surface, the Hai family is supporting him, but whenever he encounters a major disaster of life and death, the Hai family never ignores it, no matter what the reason is, but at least it can be explained that the Hai family does not care about his life or death. It can even be said that he was on the verge of life and death several times, all of which were caused by the Hai family.
So he has always been wary of the Hai family.
Although Luo Xing has a strong atmosphere of rivers and lakes, he is also a person who puts interests first, when facing the Hai family and him, once the Hai family does plot against him, Lu Shanmin can be sure that he will choose the Hai family instead of himself.
So Lu Shanmin was reluctant to entangle too much with Luo Xing. God knows if he will be the Hai family's pawn to calculate themselves again.
Lu Shanmin thought that Luo Xing called because he wanted to give him a loan shark, after all, the matter of his loan break was spreading in the building materials market, and it was impossible for Luo Xing not to know
However, Luo Xing's phone call did not mention lending, nor did he propose to invest in the building materials city, obviously the Hai family did not tell him about the imminent development of the Baihui District, otherwise with Luo Xing's character, he would definitely have to intervene.
Just congratulated and thanked Lu Shanmin for moving to Changzan, after all, Changzan was also secretly lending usury and affecting his interests.
The second is to ask Lu Shanmin if he knows about the frequent situation of Pengcheng Group's industries near Parkway District in the past two days.
Luo Xing's power in the Parkway District is not smaller than him, and even greater than him to some extent, Pengcheng Group's industry in the Parkway District has an accident, and it will definitely contact the local forces to solve it, Chen Wanlin and Ma Sen can't get through here, and they will definitely go to Luo Xing. Obviously, the other party has found Luo Xing.
Lu Shanmin did not deny it, if he denied it, Luo Xing would act without scruples, those long-term debt collectors under his command are much more professional than those gangsters, Chen Wanlin and Ma Sen may not be opponents.
But he didn't admit it, he just said lightly, whoever made him feel bad, he wouldn't let anyone feel better.
Luo Xing is a smart person, he won't do things that hurt both sides, not to mention that there is a person who can't figure out the situation of the Hai family in the center, as long as Chen Ran doesn't nod, he believes that Luo Xing will not act rashly.
Lu Shanmin sent Lu Shuang, who had not completely stabilized her mood, home, comforted her, and told her to rest well, she was too tired in the past two days, both mentally and physically.
Back at home, all kinds of information continued to converge, and all the industries of Pengcheng Group in the vicinity of Parkway District were affected. Especially in the real estate development project of Bihaiwan, the location of those nails happens to be nailed to several key positions throughout the construction site.
The water and power cuts and road closures did not solve the problem of Pengcheng Group, because there was a steady stream of "well-wishers" outside to send various materials. The billions of projects will lose every day of delay, and Lu Shanmin has not calculated how much Lu Shanmin should be concerned about, which is something that Pengcheng Group should care about.
Some things are in a hurry, and the more chaotic they are, the more anxious they are.
Sitting quietly on the sofa, after a few days of mental tension and worry, now it has calmed down.
He couldn't help but think about what he would do if he was the chairman of Pengcheng Group, or if he was Lin Chaoyang.
There is money in this world that can do anything, and this is probably what the rich think. They can pay for the local forces to come forward, but in the current situation, the local forces in Parkway District will not accept his money.
Go through the legal process, this is even more impossible, it's not a matter of winning or losing, these gangsters are all hob meat, it's not a matter of going in and locked up for a few days, it's useless to win the lawsuit, and the time lost in the middle is money. So no matter if you win or lose, you have already lost by going through the legal process.
When there is no way, waiting is not a way, and the Lin family should be more anxious than him at this time.
No matter what kind of person Lin Chaoyang is, the Lin family is always a businessman, and Lu Shanmin believes that businessmen will make the most correct choice.
Thinking about these joints, Lu Shanmin relaxed, entered the bathroom and took a hot bath relaxedly.
The bathroom is divided into dry and wet areas, and Lu Shanmin walked out of the bathroom wearing a pair of underwear, wiping his hair in the mirror, and suddenly found that something was wrong.
Hunting in the mountains since he was a child has developed the habit of paying special attention to his surroundings. I remember that there was a half-foot-wide slit in the middle of the curtains on the balcony, but at this moment, the curtains reflected in the mirror were pulled tightly.
He quickly calmed down from his panic, stepped into the bathroom again as if nothing had happened, and then slowly closed the bathroom door and put on his clothes and pants.
The bathroom has a window with direct access to the kitchen.
Crawling lightly through the window to the kitchen, he took a kitchen knife, and slowly moved to the kitchen door with his back against the kitchen wall.
Slowly poke his head out to observe the situation in the living room.
He had thought of many situations, such as someone holding a gun or a knife, but he never expected to see such a strange scene.
There was an old man sitting on the sofa, with a half-inch-long beard, unable to tell his specific age, wearing a Mao suit, which was not surprising, the strange thing was that the person was looking at him and smiling, and it was the kind of smile like a spring breeze, just like an elder looking at Lu Shanmin very casually.
Of course, Lu Shanmin will not be confused by this kind old man, and he must be a master if he can easily enter through the five-story window.
The old man smiled and beckoned to him, ignoring the kitchen knife in his hand, which made Lu Shanmin feel that this was a master, maybe like the old god stick and the old Huang outsider.
Lu Shanmin walked out of the kitchen with a kitchen knife in his hand, but did not approach the old man, but kept a safe distance of three or four meters.
"Who are you"?
The old man patted the sofa and smiled with satisfaction, "Yes, I am so vigilant in the face of an old man like me."
"How did you get in?" Lu Shanmin asked coldly.
The old man pointed to the key on the coffee table, "It seems that you have been very nervous in the past two days, and you forgot to pull out the key when you opened the door."
Lu Shanmin frowned, and for a while he couldn't remember if he forgot to take the key when he entered the door.
The old man smiled, "Such a coward, even an old man is afraid, this is not like yours."
Lu Shanmin frowned, "You know me"?
The old man nodded, "Of course I know, I saw you on the news some time ago, you are full of guts, and you broke into a drug den alone to fight drug dealers."
Lu Shanmin's vigilance relaxed a little, he really forgot to pull out the key when he wanted to go home, if there was an old man who was a master of the world like an old god, then the master of the world would be too worthless.
Walked to the couch, but still did not sit on the couch, but sat on a stool on the other side of the coffee table.
"Don't tell me you're at the wrong door." Lu Shanmin said coldly, and did not have any politeness because the other party was a kind old man.
The old man smiled, "I'm not old enough to go to the wrong door, you put down the kitchen knife first, old man, I have a bad heart."
Lu Shanmin observed the old man for a while, no matter how he looked at it, he didn't look like a master, and slowly put the kitchen knife on the coffee table.
"Can you tell me now?"
"You just call me Grandpa Kan, don't suffer, I came to you to help you."
Lu Shanmin stared at the old man surnamed Kan tightly, "I don't believe in pie in the sky."
The old man smiled, "Of course, there are conditions."
"What conditions"?
"Be our man".
"Who are you"?
"I can't tell you this for the time being, but when you fully integrate into us, you will naturally know."
"Why choose me"?
"Because we need young people like you who are brave and resourceful, and very determined, and there are very few such young people now."
Lu Shanmin looked at the old man coldly, "I don't even know who you are, I don't know what you want me to do, do you think I will agree?"
The old man had an indifferent smile on his face, as if he had already guessed that he would refuse.
"You can first listen to what benefits we can give you in refusal".
"What's in it"?
"What do you think of the Lin family's Pengcheng Group"?
"It was a big conglomerate."
The old man smiled and said in a very disdainful tone: "Big fart, I can let you surpass it in two years."
Lu Shanmin was extremely shocked in his heart, a real estate development company with tens of billions of assets could let him do it within two years, it was incredible, but looking at the old man's appearance, it didn't look like he was bragging.
The old man casually raised a finger: "If you promise to become our person, within a year, I will help you bring down the Pengcheng Group."
Lu Shanmin's brows were furrowed, his head was in chaos, this old man was either a madman, or there was some big conspiracy here, there was the Hai family in front of him who was calculating him, and now an old man was inexplicably calculating him.
The words that the old man said were indeed very moving, but since ancient times, the truth has been figured out, if you can get so many things for no reason, then there will be no less to lose, and there is no free lunch in the world.
