557: Three Alliances
Chapter 557: Three Alliances
Zhou You was going to go in person tomorrow, and he didn't want Chen Jun to be in a hurry than he imagined.
However, Zhou You didn't doubt it, he knew that what Chen Jun said would be fulfilled. His words, like his character, are so strong.
In less than half an hour, not even twenty minutes, Chen Jun took an old man and two bodyguards to kill. The tour only discussed a little bit of practical issues, and it ended before it was officially launched.
As soon as Chen Jun came, he took the initiative to introduce: "Mr. Zhou, this is the head of our Chen family, and he is also the number one gambling stone master in Northern Xinjiang. ”
Chen Hai shook hands with Zhou You.
After a short greeting, Zhou You then roughly explained the matter, causing Chen Hai and Chen Jun to fall into surprise and confusion at the same time.
Zhou You did not intervene to speak without authorization, allowing the Chen family to think freely.
Long.
Chen Hai finally asked: "Mr. Zhou, I don't know what price we need to pay? I believe you also know that there is no free lunch in the world." ”
Zhou You had already planned for a long time, and replied: "The things of the Toulon family are of little value to me and my friends, but for you, it is a rare opportunity to expand your territory and enhance your speaking capital. But we can't do it in vain, we want money, and we have channels?"
Chen Hai pondered.
Chen Jun asked, "The channel is very simple. The Toulon family must have mastered a large number of special routes in the north, and these routes were important underground channels, which had incomparable advantages for the smuggling of jadeite. ”
Zhou You replied coldly: "We don't need to rely on smuggling to make profits now, we have better channels." ”
Chen Hai added: "We know, but the most convenient route to the north is the train, and this route is very limited, and the Toulon family has a lot of connections in their hands, which is unavoidable." ”
Zhou You thought of his chromite and felt that this request was indeed necessary.
However, they have made such a big profit from traveling around, if they only get this small channel, it will be really boring, it is better to cooperate with Fenglin.
Seeing Zhou Youyi's lazy appearance, Chen Hai's eyes suddenly tightened, and he hurriedly added: "In fact, we can cooperate with the three of them, and each takes what it needs." We take the Toulon family's other properties except gambling, Maple Grove accepts the underground casinos owned by the Toulon family, and Mr. Zhou takes all the Toulon family collectibles and shares their network with the other two of us. ”
Zhou You asked, "What is the collection of the Toulon family?"
Chen Jun immediately said: "Mr. Zhou, don't underestimate the Toulon family. When they run casinos, they often encounter those losers who steal their treasures to mortgage or continue to gamble, and over time, they actually accumulate a huge treasury. It is said that those who have visited the Toulon Family Collection have said that the antiques there are comparable to those of the five great families, as well as jewelry, jade, and precious metals. ”
"That's interesting!"
Nothing else can attract travel, but antiques and works of art are the most appetite for travel.
Chen Jun continued to tempt: "Although no one has carefully estimated, we guess that the total value of the Toulon family's collection will definitely not be less than 100 million US dollars, and may even be several times. ”
Zhou You shook his head and said: "Money is not a problem, the important thing is quality." My museum only has a collection of about 20,000 items, and if I can't fill it in time, I really won't be able to fulfill the ambition I made before. ”
"It's only 20,000!"
Chen Hai and Chen Jun were speechless for an instant.
You must know that the average provincial museum in China does not have such a magnificent collection. Not to mention that there are a large number of fine items in the collection, and there are also a lot of Chinese treasures. There are even artifacts that are not even available in world-famous museums, and it is really ironic that such a collection is described by the word "cai".
Zhou You suddenly found that Chen Jun's status did not seem to be lower than that of Chen Hai, the patriarch. Although they deliberately hid it, after the conversation just now, when encountering some decisions, Chen Jun inevitably jumped out to make suggestions and evaluations, revealing the special nature of his identity.
Thinking of his previous indifference to the three million dollars, Zhou You was a little relieved.
Zhou You said: "If you know that I have a collection of 20,000 pieces, more than 1,000 of which were sent by friends from all walks of life after the museum was built, and many of them are modern artworks, you would not think that I am rich." ”
The shipwreck provided a lot of collectibles for Zhou You, and the porcelain alone reached nearly 10,000 pieces, and it is even more exaggerated if you count the broken porcelain. Coupled with those uncarved Tianhuang stones, the traveling treasury swelled rapidly because of the shipwreck.
It's just that from here, it also reflects how weak the foundation of traveling is, if there is no shipwreck, the scale of his museum is probably only a large private museum, and it is simply a fool's dream to compare with provincial museums.
Feeling that his ability is weak, traveling around is naturally the perseverance of the pursuit of collectibles. It's just that relatively speaking, maple forest is more suitable.
Chen Hai saw that although Zhou You was moved, he might be more inclined to Fenglin, so he gritted his teeth and said, "We know that these conditions can't make Mr. Zhou's heart move, so we are willing to add another condition." ”
Zhou You asked, "Say it." ”
Chen Hai said: "Our jadeite mine still has all the reserves. ”
The fat man immediately lit up, holding the wine glass and making a fierce look at Zhou You. Not only Ma Fatzi, but also Du Bo, Tunwen and others are also urgent, and they feel that traveling around should be enough.
Zhou You paused for a moment and said: "Yes, I will introduce you to Fenglin tomorrow, and I hope that the three of us can reach the most successful cooperation." ”
Chen Hai breathed a sigh of relief, and Chen Jun was associative.
In the eyes of Zhou You, jadeite is not money now, but is inclined to art materials. It doesn't matter how much jadeite there is, what matters is whether there is jadeite that can be used for carving. Zhou You had just promised Mr. Zheng that he would help Li Yidao, so Zhou You naturally had to fulfill his promise and start preparing for this.
Later, Zhou You carefully discussed with everyone a clear division of labor and profit distribution, and discussed until late at night before stopping.
In the early morning of the next day, Zhou You took the two important figures of the Chen family to the club for the first time and called Fenglin, who was still in bed, to start the real cooperation between the three families.
The final result is very reasonable, the three agreed to share channels, protect each other, and form a small triangular alliance of interests to advance and retreat together.
However, the three families are not absolutely fair, and the weakest Chen family took out the jade mine and family treasury that was about to be depleted to make up for the trip, so as to obtain all the properties of the Toulon family except for the gambling industry. And Fenglin is not without sacrifice, he must rely on his political power to provide effective cover for the actions of the three families, and in the future, he must ensure that the common interests of the three families are not violated, although these are not actual expenditures, but the manpower and government relations are the foundation of cooperation, and it just makes up for the shortcomings of Zhou You and the Chen family.
As for traveling, all that is needed is to win, take Fenglin and the Chen family on the open battlefield, and ruin the Toulon family.
It's night.
The three families that completed the distribution of benefits began to hold banquets.
Only people in the circle are invited to this banquet to openly show the "legitimacy" of this small interest alliance.
Despite the fact that Myanmar's economy is in a similar situation to that of China 20 years ago, the upper echelons of the country have actually gone to the forefront of the world's trend, and the entertainment club of Maple Grove is the most stark example of this.
Successfully using the name of the club to pool the energy at hand can not only greatly increase its influence, but also condense this scattered power to form an oligarchy in a small sense.
Brother Guang has done a great job in this regard, and Fenglin is not inferior.
And the people who came to this banquet tonight, in addition to their own people, some came to expand the relationship channels. After all, the people who can appear in this small circle are all the aristocracy in Myanmar, either high-ranking government officials, important generals of the army, or prominent figures in a certain industry or region. If you can successfully befriend one of them, it may be a lifesaver in the future.
Zhou You hid in a corner of the banquet and watched the crowd in front of him.
Yueying, who appeared in full costume, attracted a lot of people, and there were a lot of people crowded around her. Some are greedy for flowers, and some want to explore the bottom of Yueying. It's just that Yueying is exercising like an old loach in China, and she didn't give the gang of nouveau riche in front of her a chance to succeed.
Originally, Yueying didn't have to fight alone, but unfortunately the majestic Tian Ke sprained his foot, and he is still resting in the presidential suite. Otherwise, if she comes, she will definitely be able to share a lot of Yueying's pressure.
Zhou You ignored Yueying and turned to Du Bo and Ang Tun.
These two guys were originally just small separatist forces from poor areas, and to put it mildly, they were landlords, and they couldn't enter this level. Today, thanks to the introduction of Zhou You, they naturally exert as much energy as they can, and make friends with some upper-class people as much as possible.
Looking at Angtun in a military uniform, Zhou You felt funny.
Angtun is just a small separatist force, and has nothing to do with the army. But this guy is also bold, he actually wears the standard clothes of a professional soldier, and he is very careful to remove those badges that can reveal his identity, with his murderous aura, it looks extraordinary, and it actually attracts a lot of noble ladies.
As for Tunwen, the return of this gambling stone master who once roamed Myanmar has indeed attracted the attention of many people. Now back in the circle, he has a tendency to return to the sea, chatting with a group of former friends very energetically, ignoring Zhou You and other partners.
The group of people brought by the tour, the only depressed one was the fat man.
Looking at the lonely fat horse, Zhou You wanted to laugh but couldn't. Because Ma Fatman's attention is shifted to exquisite food, he looks like a gourmet, picking a little dessert here to try the taste, forking a piece of sauce and meat there, and nodding and drinking from time to time, which is quite interesting.
"This gentleman is very familiar!"
A very unfamiliar voice suddenly sounded from behind Zhou You.
