Chapter 106 [Temptation!] But the other way around! 】
The atmosphere was slightly stiff. Thorin had narrowed his eyes at me, and I stared at him unflinching.
Finally, Thorin smiled, and he looked at me with a smile: "Young man, impulsiveness is not necessarily a good thing. ”
I also looked at him: "It's not a good habit to have too much appetite. ”
Thorin was silent, he saw the unyielding in my eyes, pondered for a moment, and said lightly: "Do you know who that Larry was just now?" He was originally a good friend of mine, and a man with a head and a face. He was in Halifax, everybody knew his name, he was there, and he had a nickname called 'Larry the Horri'. Originally, I used to support him. But then he betrayed me, rejected my kindness, and even made some small gestures behind my back that I couldn't tolerate......"
I could hear the threat in my words, but my face didn't change.
Before he could finish speaking, I simply interrupted him: "Mr. Thorin." ”
"Huh?"
"First of all, I want to say that I have a lot of respect for you." I tried to keep my tone as calm and natural: "I've always thought that you, as the de facto ruler of the entire Canadian underground order, have a lot of respect for me. I don't think there are many people in the world who can do it to your level. ”
Thorin's face looked a little better. Then I changed my words and said, "Today, however, I have to reject the suggestion you just made. Because such advice to me is xìng fateful. ”
I threw away my cigar, lit a cigarette myself, and smiled casually, "Honestly." I've tried it many times, but I've always disliked cigars, only cigarettes make me really comfortable. I stubble a little, and then looked at the people around me: "Mr. Sorrin, I have to say, today I will be standing here, standing in front of you, and I will fly from Vancouver to meet you...... All this is enough to show my sincerity, you see. I have come to talk to you with great sincerity. So, I hope to get some sincere suggestions from you as well...... And not a lion-like appetite. ”
With that, I looked at Thorin's men around me. Glared at him.
"Okay, you go down first." Thorin waved his hand.
Ten seconds later, it was just me and Thorin left, and one of his closest men was standing beyond the iron fence in the distance.
"What do you want to say. Now you can say it, young man. ”
"What I'm trying to say is, I understand what you want." I looked at old Thorin: "Look. Even if I do give you 10 percent, it's only 10 million dollars a year...... God, I'm afraid this will cost you that amount every year. That's 10 million a year, is that really that much more important to you? You see, this is a truth that children understand...... I'm at least no more stupid than a little kid. ”
I continued to laugh and said, "So, the only explanation I can think of is...... You want to gain control of the maritime trade...... But I have to say, you have a big appetite!! Of course, things like, 'I built this business single-handedly, and it should be mine...... You're going to take him away now. It's obviously unfair, 'I won't say such stupid things, because I know the rules of the game, we are the underworld, and the underworld can be unreasonable, I understand. I also know your eagerness to gain control...... It's obvious. ”
"Young man......" Thorin seemed to want to defend himself, I smiled and shook my head, stopping him from speaking: "No, no, Mr. Thorin, I respect you, and I want your respect...... At least respect my IQ, pok, I'm not a fool, you and I are not. You want to get the business, and you're in complete control. It's just that now you don't think it's time, after all, we're still allies...... So this small stake you are asking for is just an excuse entirely...... You want to lay a nail in my cake first! Yes, a nail! In this way, after two or three years, with your strong power, strong foundation, and this nail, you can even drive me out of Huaxing Company and out of this business! Isn't it...... For God's sake, let's be honest, I'm really tired of going around in circles. ”
I looked straight at Thorin with no fear in my eyes.
Thorin sighed, his face a little cold: "Do you know that the last person who dared to talk to me like this was ten years ago!" That person was later thrown into the concrete mixer by me! ”
I was silent for a moment, and the two of us stared at each other...... After a long time, I suddenly laughed, and my tone was slightly strange: "I take the liberty of asking, Mr. Sorin, you were ...... years ago ten years ago."
This sentence was immediately like a needle, piercing the biggest weakness in Thorin's heart!!
The muscles in the corners of his eyes jumped, and the moment he looked at me, I clearly saw an undisguised fierce light in this old man's eyes! That fierce gaze was the same as the crocodile I had just seen, as if it was full of killing pokes and blood! It will devour me at any time and hiss at me!!
I struggled to keep my composure, shook my head, looked at Thorin, and said slowly, "I have no doubt that you have that ability...... I even think that with your strength, you even have the ability to knock me out of Canada! After all, I am a yellow person, and even if a yellow person works hard here, it is impossible for him to develop to the point where he is a threat to you without the efforts of several generations. You see, I don't want to go around in circles. ”
"Say what you want to say. Youngster. There was no hint of friendliness in Thorin's voice.
"First of all, I admit that if I turn against you, I will definitely lose in the end." I said lightly: "It's very simple, but there are two possibilities, the first is that I will now promise you ten percent of the shares you requested, and then I will have two years of comfort, and after two years, you will snatch this cake from my hands...... Even if the war breaks out between us, you can also rely on your strong strength to drive me out!! As for the second ......... I refuse your request now, then I even doubt that I will be able to get out of this village alive today...... Or even if you let me go back to Vancouver, and then a horde of Hell's Angels of gunmen will come to Vancouver, and it's a war, and it's a war that I'm going to lose, and with your connections, all the gangsters who are looking down on me in Vancouver will fall to you overnight, and even the officials will be on your side...... In a simple word, I'm dead. As I spoke, my tone gradually stabilized, and my voice became more and more fluid and natural, until finally I even looked at Thorin with a smile: "I'm right, right?" ”
"So what is your psychology for saying such things to me now? Or are you already crazy? Do you want to die? Thorin sneered.
"No, no, no, I don't want to die, I don't want to die at all." I said seriously: "I am living a nourishing life now, you see, I have my own power, a large number of subordinates, money, beautiful women, and status...... Why should I die? It is because I do not want to lose these that I am saying this to you today. ”
Thorin's gaze was a little complicated, as if he couldn't see through me at the moment.
But only I know that although I seem to be calm and calm, in fact, the shirt on my back has already been soaked with sweat!!
I'm taking a risk...... I muttered inwardly. Moreover, I completely deviated from the strategy that Yang Wei set for me. Yang Wei's strategy was to let me delay with Sorin, entangled with him in details, and worked hard with him, and finally agreed to give up five percent.
But now, I don't know what's going on, just now I suddenly seem to have a light in my head! It dawned on me that there might be other solutions to this matter...... That's why I said these words that angered Thorin!
"Well, according to what I just assumed, those two possibilities, whether it is the first or the second, I am dead...... But when I'm done with that piece of cake in your hands, can you really make it? I had a look in my eyes that sneered: "I've never been a humble person, so what I'm trying to say is...... Before I did this, it seemed like you owned the whole of Canada, but you never thought you could do this business and make money like this! ”
"Indeed, you came up with this brilliant idea, and in this sense, you are a genius." Thorin sighed.
"So, you think, without me at the helm...... Can this boat continue to run smoothly? I sneered: "I came up with this plan, and you kicked me out...... I can guarantee that in less than two years, this plan will be ruined by those who will take over later. ”
"Oh, is there any more trouble ahead? What other plans do you have...... Uh-huh......" Thorin involuntarily asked, but he was halfway through his sentence, and under my mocking gaze, he shut up.
Indeed, even Thorin thought such a question was ridiculous.
Imagine, he wants to rob my company, and he expects me to make the company's future development plan for him kindly after I rob the company by him? There are no such stupid people in the world.
"I have all kinds of talent under my command." Thorin said lightly: "Young man, don't be too self-righteous and think that this world will not rotate without you. ”
"Thank you for this reminder, I will definitely remember it deeply." I smiled, bent down and bowed gracefully, and then under Thorin's furrowed eyebrows and puzzled gaze, I said lightly, "But, may I ask you, how many people are there around you who you can trust absolutely?" My smile gradually retracted, and I said slowly, word by word: "I mean...... The kind of trust that you can trust to the extent that you can make him your successor! ”
The word successor was spoken, and Thorin was silent.
Chapter 106 [Temptation!] But the other way around! (below)
I was a little excited, knowing that I might have made the right bet, so I gritted my teeth and continued, "Okay, look, I'll be honest...... Of course, this truth may be a bit harsh, but I think that sometimes, the harsh truth always works...... Oh, did you know, we have a saying in China called 'good medicine is bitter, and good words are against the ear,' ”
"Say it." Thorin has now been overwhelmed by me in momentum.
"First, I want to ask, do you have to get this business, is it for your own sake, or for your organization?" I sneered: "Oh, you don't have to answer now, please be patient and wait until you finish." ”
I finished smoking one cigarette, and immediately lit another one for myself, and said quickly, "Okay, my second question is...... Well, or maybe it's hard to hear, but I still want you to think about it. You, the great Mr. Sorrin, the first man in the entire underworld of Canada, a powerful man. But at your age, have you thought about it? I have to say, you are already an old man. As an old man and a thoughtful leader, you must now seriously consider the question of your successor. Otherwise, how many years will you be able to sit in this position at your current age? Three years? Or five years? ”
I mean it very clearly..."
Thorin is old, really old. He's in his fifties, and I've heard he's not very healthy. Like me, he was injured when he was younger, and quite a few. Such people. When you get old, your health will get worse and worse! How many more years can he hold out in this position??
He must have been aware of this problem himself. Yang Wei told me at the beginning: Now Solin is in such a hurry to bleach, because he understands that he doesn't have much time, and he wants to finish things as soon as possible!!
All right. Even if he can live another ten or twenty years...... But can he stay in this position until he dies??
Hell, this is not a party leader, not a zhèngfǔ leader! It's the underworld! When he is old, weak, and dizzy, and can't be a director, even if he can continue to live for a few years, but this position is not to continue to sit!!
Thorin has been trying to organize himself to"
Familialization". In the familial model, he must leave his place to be related to him...... Preferably relatives of direct blood relations!!
Unfortunately, the only candidate ...... There seems to be only one. It's Her Royal Highness the princess who does things ridiculously and gives birth to xìngyín.
But even idiots know, Her Royal Highness the Princess. It is absolutely impossible to be a leader out of the sè...... She's not even "qualified".
So leave the place to someone else?
In that case, old Thorin understood, even if it was reserved for his most trusted subordinates or comrades...... So once you give way, no matter how loyal the person before you is...... Once someone else is in power, you will never be able to live! Not only will he die. His baby daughter won't survive either!!
These are the rules of the underworld!!
"I ...... In fact, the successor has already been good. Thorin seemed to age a lot in an instant, and his eyes darkened, and the tone of his words was for me. It's better that he is saying it to himself, as if to comfort himself: "I have a crush on Alan, that young man is good, he is very clever in doing things, and he has always been loyal to me and respects me, and he is still my godson...... I think he's going to ......."
"But we're the underworld." I ruthlessly struck old Sorin's confidence: "You want Her Royal Highness the princess to succeed you, many people in the organization know. It's just that in the end you realize that Sophie is really not a suitable person, so you decide to let this ...... Well. Alan, come and take over, huh? I sneered, "But, may I ask you, once Alan takes over, he will tolerate a possibility...... Is it just a potential threat to his position? No! Definitely not!! ”
I looked at Thorin: "The simplest question to ask is, if you're Alan, you know that your boss wanted his son or daughter to take over, but ended up giving you the place...... After you take over, will you tolerate your boss's son or daughter continuing to live? ”
"No!!" Thorin replied simply: "Because their existence will affect the 'legitimacy' of my position, and if something happens in the future, others will make a fuss about it and challenge the legitimacy of my leader!" So I'm sure I'll ...... Cut the grass and eradicate the roots! ”
Thorin was completely discouraged: "However, I will leave Sophie a sum of money, let her go to Europe, or go somewhere else, be a rich man, live this life, I know the rules of this game, I will give up all power before I die, try to get my daughter out of this circle......"
The more he spoke, the quieter he became, for these words could not convince even himself.
Please, we're all underworlds! We don't put our hopes in someone else!! People who are a threat to themselves...... Unless he's dead!! Otherwise, we won't be reassured!
That's the rules of the game on the underworld!!
"You are a seeker, but at the same time, you are also a father." I looked at Thorin and felt that the time was almost up, and smiled, "Look, that's what I want to say." So, I think, we have a chance to work together. ”
I walked over to Thorin and sat down, looked at him, and said slowly, "I admit that the so-called friendship between us before was just a hypocritical and boring entertainment...... But now, I want to get this opportunity and make me, Chen Yang, a true ally of the great Thorin family!! I mean, true allies! At no time, we will not give up on each other's allies!! ”
"Her Royal Highness Princess Sophie is only in her twenties this year, and I think a beautiful and healthy girl like her will live to be at least eighty years old...... Can you protect her until she turns eighty? I laughed and said, "It's obviously impossible." Then I looked at Thorin: "But I can!" I can protect her and be her staunchest ally. The most faithful protector. ”
"Is this your plan?" Thorin looked at me with a sneer: "To be honest, you're not the first one to make such a suggestion to me, many people are using Sophie to beat me up to the idea of where I am now!" Hum!! God knows if you want to catch up with my daughter through me. Then when I'm dead, I'll take control of the Angels of Hell! ”
I squinted my eyes and looked at him with a slight smile: "Mr. Thorin, please pay attention to my skin, my hair, and the eyes of my eyes." ”
“…… Well, I see. Thorin's eyes lit up!
"You see, I'm yellow, I'm Chinese. Do you think a Chinese could usurp the leadership of the angels of hell? It's absolutely impossible! It's as if Americans would elect a yellow-skinned man to be their president? Oh, my God. This is ridiculous!! I laughed and said, "As I just said, I am a Chinese, and the Chinese are in this white world. It will take at least several generations to build an organization that is strong enough to threaten the angels of hell, and God has to give me the right amount of luck...... You see, for at least a hundred years, I will not be able to threaten your family's position. Then there is no conflict of interest between us. There is no conflict of interest, and this is the best basis for our friendship!! ”
I further tempted old Thorin: "Think about it, Mr. Thorin...... I know your lifelong desire. It is the development of establishing a family model. You hope that the angels of hell that will flourish in your hands will continue to grow in the family model...... Instead of the fact that after your death, the Angels of Hell immediately took someone else's surname!! In that case, who will remember you ten years from now? But if the family model continues, then even in another 100 years, you will still be the greatest first-generation leader of this organization!! Your name will be forever engraved on the first page of your family's family tree! I looked at old Thorin and smiled: "I am willing to be a loyal ally and a loyal protector of Her Royal Highness the Princess!" In this case...... You can leave that Eren to hell. Let Her Royal Highness the Princess inherit your position, and then, develop the Thorin family!! ”
That's where I caught Thorin's biggest weakness...... Human selfishness!!
The Angels of Hell were developed at the hands of Thorwood! Thorin for this group
The organization has made countless contributions to the scale and climate it is today...... Could it be that Thorin would really be willing to hand over such a vast empire to an outsider after him??
Joke! Even if he is a smart person like Mr. Yang Er, he doesn't need to let a smart young man like Yang Wei go, and insists on using his straw bale son as the heir!!
This is the selfishness of human beings!!
I have to say that Yang Wei's experience actually gave me a lot of inspiration.
"It's tempting, it's tempting...... Very tempting. Thorin rubbed his temples: "Chen Yang, I'm starting to think that you are a very powerful guy. If you're white, I'll kill you right away! Because I feel threatened in you! And you just painted me a wonderful picture...... Hmph, Thorin...... Clan! Oh, the family! What a wonderful name, which means that my descendants will inherit the empire I have created for them! ”
However, Thorin changed his words and looked at me coldly: "But how can you guarantee that your promise will not change?" Hmph, be my daughter's ally, her supporter, her protector...... God knows how much sincerity there is in that! Maybe once I'm dead, you'll change your mind! How can you convince me of you? ”
"I'm sorry, but you have to take a gamble, because I have no other way to prove it to you to believe me." I said lightly.
"Or, I have a great idea...... Oh, I know Sophie has a crush on you, so it's better to ......" Before Thorin could finish speaking, I immediately refused: "No, I won't marry your daughter." ”
"Why?" Thorin was a little angry and the spark flashed in his eyes: "Don't you dislike my daughter enough?" ”
Well, that's true, I do hate the princess...... I won't marry this kind of woman! Unless I'm a big cuckold!
But I can't say something like that: "Because I have a girl I like." I have a lover of my own. I said, "No, no, no, you don't have to say it, I know what you want to say." I also know that sometimes, business is more important than feelings, and you may be trying to persuade me...... But I still want to tell the truth...... If I were pressured to marry your daughter today, then even if my face was calm, I would have hatred in my heart! It's true! No one likes to be forced to abandon the woman they like to marry another woman! Once you're gone, do you think a man with hatred in his heart will still be wholeheartedly good to your daughter? ”
"Oh, you have a point." Thorin immediately gave up, he is a smart man, my words are here, he will not force me, forcing me to marry his daughter, it will only make me hate! He understands this very well: "However, without the relationship of marriage, how can I trust you?" ”
"So I said, you can only gamble." I smiled, but with sincerity: "Yes, without any evidence, you can only choose to bet, bet that I will keep my word." It's good for me to be an ally of the princess, and I'm telling the truth. After all, only Sophie became the leader of the Angels of Hell, which was the last good for me, and that ...... Allan? I remember the name correctly, right? Well, I don't know him, and God knows if he will continue to rob my smuggling business after he comes to power. No, no, no, it's better for Sophie to be the leader, so that I will feel safe. ”
I stared at Sorin: "It's a multiple-choice question...... Two choices, a, you don't believe me, kill me, steal my business, maybe you can get tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of profits every year from it...... But you can only enjoy these things for three or five years, and when you go to God, all this is in vain! Does that make sense? So, choose B, stay with me, although you may make tens of millions less every year in the next three or five years, but at least give your daughter a chance! Yes, a chance, even if you only trust me 50 percent now, but exchange a 50 percent trust for an opportunity...... A chance for your descendants to master a vast underworld empire! A chance for Thorin's veins to continue to flow in the veins of this empire!! ”
Finally, I sighed, looked at Thorin, and smiled, "Now, I'm waiting for you to say your answer." ”
I looked at the hesitant expression on Sorin's face, but I was secretly amused in my heart: Yang Wei is right, negotiation is nothing more than coercion and inducement...... The coercion has already been forced, but the temptation has completely reversed, and it has become me to lure Thorin......
Fuck, I'm such a genius! Depend on!
