As a gang leader who came to the United States at the age of 12 to make a living, Szeto Meitang has always pursued two credos: no pie will fall from the sky; There is no such thing as a free lunch. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info And Qin Lang is the enemy of the Zhigong Court - this is a fact; And an unusually disgusted gang - that's what it said. Now he actually claims that he can support the change of business projects of Zhi Gongtang, and it is also multifaceted support, there must be something wrong with this.

The big problem is never a small matter, it may be a conspiracy, it may be ......

"We can cooperate, Mr. Szeto." Qin Lang suggested. However, Situ Meitang keenly noticed that he deliberately accentuated the tone of the word "we" as an obvious emphasis. It made him even more alert.

"I don't understand what you mean, Mr. Qin."

"We can work together." Qin Lang repeated, still emphasizing the tone on "we", and then he repeated the word again. "We."

"We?" Situ Meitang secretly considered the scope of this word: it was Qin Lang and the entire Zhigong Court, or just the two of them. Thinking of Qin Lang's tone and his emphasis, Situ Meitang felt that the second guess was more likely. This may be an opportunity for someone who wants to go further, but it is also possible that it is just a conspiracy to sow chaos and division within the court, or even a well-planned and targeted trap.

Qin Lang is not a trustworthy person yet. As for cooperation, working with someone who is not trustworthy will undoubtedly be a very dangerous move, fatal enough.

But what Situ Meitang said was not the one he was considering. "I'm listening to any of your suggestions." He smiled.

At first, though, all he got was silence. Qin Lang did not start speaking immediately, but continued to gently tap on the desktop of the desk rhythmically, staring into Situ Meitang's eyes without saying a word, as if he wanted to see through the future president of Zhigongtang. After a few minutes, he put away his smile. "It's just that I think we can band together to do some business. There is no doubt that Hongmen has abundant human resources, a broad social background and a fixed place for activities, and I have the force, funds and government support, and we can be partners. ”

He didn't mention his interlocutor at all, but the boss of An Liangtang already understood what he meant. Qin Lang cooperated with him, but used the power of the entire Zhi Gong Tang - that is, Qin Lang intended to help him become the president of Zhi Gong Tang; However, Situ Meitang still didn't understand his true purpose, the purpose that was still hidden, and Qin Lang didn't want him to know - what was that?

But he had a different question. "What business are you going to do with our Zhigong Court, Mr. Qin?"

"Illegal business."

"A brothel, a smoke house, or a casino?"

"All." Qin Lang laughed again, "And smuggling." ”

I don't know whether to praise him for his generosity or be shocked, Situ Meitang finally decided not to say anything. In fact, although he never thought that Qin Lang was a good person, he never thought that a first-class businessman like him, whose business was all concentrated in the legitimate industry, would be so deeply involved in the illegal industry.

It's amazing.

However, if he knew that Qin Lang had been a robber, had been secretly smuggling arms, and was secretly selling amphetamine and methamphetamine to the Japanese and Italians, he would definitely cry out in surprise.

He should have called out.

"You seem surprised?" Qin Lang saw it.

"A little." Szeto admitted it, but discounted it.

"I'm a businessman, and any industry that brings enough profit can be of interest to me." A very reasonable explanation, but not enough to confuse the bigwigs of An Liangtang: even without taking into account the number of customers, the profits of the brothels and tobacco houses controlled by Zhi Gongtang are not very high, at least not "enough" - how much profit can the industry, which mainly caters to middle and lower class customers, have? As for drug trafficking, this was an era in which opium, morphine, heroin and cocaine were all sold legally, let alone profiteering.

In fact, Qin Lang had already encountered a similar problem: his amphetamine and methamphetamine business did not bring the huge profits he expected, and every time, when the sellers tried to raise the price, the addicts would choose another drug, even though the stimulant amphetamine-type drugs and the analgesic morphine-like drugs had very different mental effects on people.

Of course, this kind of business can indeed be profitable, and Qin Lang's interest in it is not entirely in profits - amphetamine and morphine are important military materials, and he is willing to secretly save a little at the moment when the Spanish-American War, the Anglo-Boer War, and the more important world war are approaching.

As for his willingness to intervene in Chi Kung Tang's tobacco shop business, it was just a bait to attract Szeto Meitang.

"What do you think of my proposal, Mr. Situ?" Qin Lang asked.

"I can't make a comment yet." Situ Meitang was still thinking about his true purpose, and he did not explain all the problems related to business. "I would like to know, how are you going to work with us?"

"Personally, I don't think Hongmen needs financial assistance for the time being. But I can help you with the government and the law. To put it bluntly, Qin Lang didn't want to invest even a dollar in the Zhigong Court - of course, only temporarily, after the cooperation between the two sides entered a deeper level, he would still invest as a motivation and reward for using Hongmen to deal with certain issues for him.

An Liangtang's big man's eyebrows furrowed. He didn't like the arrangement. On the one hand, solving government and legal problems is just a gesture for Qin Lang, he doesn't have to pay too much, but he will definitely take a considerable part of the profits, and maybe send people to participate in the business of the court; On the other hand, his main force is in California, and with his help, the branch of Zhi Gong Tang on the West Coast will soon recover its strength and continue to grow, but the Anliang Tang in Boston will not benefit at all.

Situ Meitang has his own ideas, his own goals, and his own ambitions, and he is reluctant to make wedding clothes for others, especially when this kind of behavior is likely to hinder him.

But he remained unmoved. "So, Mr. Qin, how should we divide the gains?"

"I have many options, but which one will I choose in the end—" Qin Lang smiled more obviously, "It only depends on who leads the court. ”

All at once, he made it clear what he had been emphasizing. But Situ Meitang was not happy at all. The situation was not very favorable to him, and Qin Lang's true purpose was still not understood. Who knows if this merchant gentleman just wanted to put him on the fire and roast him?

Situ Meitang was not at all sure what might happen.

"You seem to be surprised again, is that so, Mr. Situ?"

After thinking about it, he decided to tell the truth. "I don't understand your purpose, especially after you've come full circle."

"I'm not going around in circles, I do intend to work with Hongmen." "However, I need to choose a partner that I think is the right fit. ”

"Do you think I'm a good fit?" It's ridiculous, "We're just meeting for the first time." ”

"But I know you well, Mr. Situ." An unfathomable smile appeared on Qin Lang's face. In fact, he was lying, he only knew what Situ Meitang would achieve, but he knew very little about his past and his character. But Situ Meitang knows even less.

He just thought it was incredible. "You think you know me well?"

"Time tells, Mr. Szeto" - meaning that he can use all his power to clarify his past if he has time - "You can not believe my words, or you can consider my advice for a while, but I believe that we will be good partners." ”

Situ Meitang chose to remain silent.

Qin Lang smiled and shrugged his shoulders secretly. He was sure that Situ Meitang would eventually accept his suggestion, because this Anliangtang boss was an enterprising person. Then he can begin to gradually realize his plan, slowly and little by little, to control the Zhigong Court, establish another underground kingdom, and use it to carry out some secret activities that he cannot easily use the power of Umbrella to carry out.

It won't take long for him to get to the ground soon...... No, now he can borrow Situ Meitang to do something he can't do.

"Mr. Situ," Qin Lang stood up and issued an invitation, "In order to express my sincerity and friendship, I sincerely invite you to be the officiant of the Chinese wedding of my close friend and partner, Colonel Yi Shui.
