Chapter 385: A Shocking Gamble
"It's miserable, it's miserable!
At the Eight Immortals table in a corner of the Tang family's compound, a middle-aged man pretended to exaggerate, with a hint of banter in his expression.
The middle-aged man is white and chubby, and he looks kind, like a Maitreya Buddha, but the essence revealed in his eyes from time to time can be seen that he is not an ordinary person.
He wore a white silk embroidered shirt on his upper body, and a white crane was embroidered on his right chest, which was vivid and ready to fly.
He hung a string of hundred-year-old agarwood Buddha beads the size of a pigeon's egg around his neck, and a bracelet made of fine mutton fat jade on his wrist, worth millions.
The middle-aged man's name is Zhang Dahai, as his name suggests, the business is very big, and the real estate brand under his name, Dahai Real Estate, is the first real estate developer in Tianjin, and it can also be ranked in the top ten in China.
In last year's Forbes list, he ranked 3rd in Tianjin and 32nd in China with a value of 16.7 billion yuan.
Such a rich tycoon, wherever he goes, is not always regarded as a guest by local governments, becoming the focus of everyone, like a big star, being hugged by people in front of him, and the stars holding the moon.
But when he arrived at the Tang family, his identity was not enough, and even the richest man in Tianjin was only a few positions ahead of him, and he could only condescend to the end, as a foil, and become an inconspicuous green leaf on the Tang family's birthday banquet.
With such a big contrast, people like Zhang Dahai, who are used to being flattered, flattered, and held in the palm of their hands, will inevitably have some resentment and dissatisfaction in their hearts.
But in front of the Tang family, the first family of Jinmen, he Zhang Dahai is something, just a long and fat earth dog.
So his resentment could only fall into his stomach and swallow it silently.
But when he saw Lin Xuan being besieged by several major families in Jinmen, Zhang Dahai, who was silently drinking alcohol, seemed to have suddenly discovered something interesting, and suddenly became excited, and finally had a place to vent his dissatisfaction.
That's why Zhang Dahai deliberately said what he just said.
At the table with him, almost all of them are rich people of the same strength, and with their own ability and luck, they have accumulated a wealth of about 10 billion yuan in just ten years or so.
Even if it is not the richest man in a province, it is also the existence of the top five or even the top three in the wealth of a province, and it has a more or less roundabout relationship with the Tang family.
People like them, rich and rich, but they don't have any background and foundation behind them, maybe when, when the wind blows, it will be like a castle in the sky, and no matter how tall the skyscraper is, it will fall, and then it will be moved back to their own homes by others.
So there is an urgent need to find a backer.
But backers are so easy to find.
Those families that have been inherited for hundreds of years and have lasted for dozens of generations are most indispensable for this kind of doglegs.
If they don't cut off most of the flesh and bones on their bodies and send them to these families, these families may not even bother to lift their eyelids.
But just like ordinary people, you obviously don't have that strength, and you prefer to deal with those rich people, sharpen your head and want to drill into the rich people.
These rich people, one by one, say something bad to these legendary wealthy families, like a pug, and kneel and lick directly.
This time, the old man of the Tang family had a big birthday, and these people found a chance, but most of them were blocked out, and only a small number of those who were slightly in the eyes of the Tang family, or had some twists and turns with the Tang family, were let in.
Zhang Dahai's table is this kind of person.
Seeing that he fell into the well and deliberately mocked Lin Xuan, someone looked around cautiously, and deliberately lowered his voice and said to Zhang Dahai: "Brother Dahai, it's better to say a few words, don't be heard by someone with a heart." ”
"What are you afraid of!"
Zhang Dahai saw that someone persuaded him, but he became more excited, and his voice unconsciously increased a lot.
"It's just a black boss in Jiangnan, I'm not in the eyes of Zhang, Secretary Han of Jiangnan Province and I are good friends, I can make a phone call and let him arrest the surname Lin. ”
Zhang Dahai was a little braggart at this time, Secretary Han was the No. 3 person in Jiangnan Province, presiding over the political and legal work in Jiangnan, and he was also a member of the Han family in the capital.
The two of them only met at an economic summit forum, when he was a representative of entrepreneurs, and Secretary Han went as a representative of Jiangnan Province.
He only said a few words to Secretary Han, and to this day, Secretary Han will remember him.
Although Zhang Dahai told a lie, there was no abnormality in his facial expressions or eyes, but he was extremely calm and confident, and he looked like he was conclusive.
He continued: "Besides, in the face of the siege of the entire Jinmen family today, even if the kid surnamed Lin is a grandson monkey who can go to heaven and earth, he will definitely die today.
I'm just saying two things about him, so what's the matter, he can't protect himself. ”
The other five on his one smiled, and said no more.
They didn't know that Lin Xuan would definitely die today, and the reason why they persuaded them just now was not because of Lin Xuan, but because they were afraid that Zhang Dahai would accidentally provoke the Tang family and implicate themselves.
"I don't think Master Lin will necessarily lose. ”
At this moment, a voice suddenly came, not loud, even with a hesitant tone, but this sentence made the other six people, including Zhang Dahai, extremely stunned.
They looked along the line of sight and saw a middle-aged man with glasses and an elegant temperament.
"Brother Qidong, at this time, don't be joking. ”
"That is, it doesn't hurt for a few of us to hear it, but if we want the people of the Tang family to hear it, I'm afraid it will be indispensable to find trouble with you. ”
"There are some things that you can't say. ”
Several other people spoke one after another.
Wu Qidong was questioned by so many people, and a trace of hesitation flashed on his face, but thinking of the scene he saw, the thoughts in his heart slowly became firm again.
He is the vice president of the Shanghai Chamber of Commerce, and he came to celebrate his birthday this time, on behalf of the Shanghai business community, but he didn't expect to see the picture of Lin Xuan being besieged by the Jinmen family.
The reputation of Master Jiangnan Lin, the reputation in Shanghai, can be described as thunderous, like the sky, no one knows, no one knows, has become a legend.
Even if Lin Xuan's figure hasn't appeared in Shanghai for half a year, mentioning his name is still terrifying, and the color of the smell changes.
Wu Qidong once looked at it from a distance at the funeral of the Wang family, and from the details and demeanor, it can be seen that Lin Xuan and Wei Changhe are not in the relationship of support and dependence in other people's mouths, on the contrary, the two seem to be equal.
Even he always felt that Lin Xuan had a strong self-confidence, or pride, looking down on all living beings and despising the world, I am afraid that Wei Changhe in Lin Xuan's eyes is no different from the passers-by on the street.
This kind of confidence and confidence is not deliberately pretended, but comes from the heart and exudes from the inside out.
Even if he was facing the Tang family at this time, in the eyes of others, Lin Xuan had already exhausted his donkey skills, standing on the edge of the cliff, and with a slight push, he was about to fall into the abyss.
However, Wu Qidong didn't see a trace of panic from Lin Xuan, and he still looked at all beings with pride and indifference, as if the Tang family, known as the first family in Tianjin, was just a group of ants.
Just like when he faced the general trend of the deputy mayor Lu Ankang.
Fearless, fearless, sad, joyless.
Some are just indifferent.
At that time, he didn't know Lin Xuan's confidence, but later he knew that this young man who looked like he was only eighteen or nineteen years old was already the leader of the mighty Jiangnan - Master Lin.
Now, he didn't know Lin Xuan's confidence, but after he saw Lin Xuan's indifference, he always felt that Lin Xuan would not lose, and he should have any hole cards.
That's why he opened his mouth and said that Lin Xuan would not be defeated.
When he first said it, he still muttered a little in his heart, after all, Lin Xuan had offended the six top families of Jinmen.
However, when he said it, in the face of everyone's doubts, his heart gradually became firm.
"Everything is possible, maybe Master Lin still has some hole cards in his hand. ”
Even the Wang family drove this kid out and completely abandoned him, what hole cards could he have? Even if he moved Wei Changhe over today, I am afraid that he would not be able to escape this catastrophe. ”
Zhang Dahai saw that someone questioned him, and he firmly stood on Lin Xuan's side, and he was suddenly dissatisfied in his heart, and hurriedly scolded and said.
"That's it, where does he still have any hole cards, I think he has nothing to do, Qidong, you are too careful. ”
"Wang Yaowen's old man is more shrewd than a fox, and even he claimed to have severed relations with Lin Xuan, it can be seen that this kid is indeed not good, and he is destined to be a dead end. ”
.......
The other five people also stood on Zhang Dahai's side.
In their opinion, Lin Xuan has no chance of winning at all, just wait for death, even if he still has any hole cards, it is a death struggle, it will not help, at most he can only extend his life for a few minutes.
In the face of everyone's doubts, Wu Qidong still insisted on his own views.
"Maybe a miracle will happen. ”
Zhang Dahai couldn't hold back, in his opinion, Wu Qidong was clearly supporting Lin Xuan, but in fact, he was just trying to contradict himself.
Who doesn't know that in recent times, the Shanghai Chamber of Commerce and the Jinmen Chamber of Commerce are competing for the development right of the Shanghai Free Trade Zone.
The total amount of funds invested by the two sides has exceeded more than 300 billion yuan, close to 400 billion yuan.
This is only the middle stage, far from reaching the climax, and I am afraid that 600 billion will not be able to stop at that time.
The shopping mall is like a battlefield, the two sides have already fought a real fire, which side loses, will suffer huge losses, vitality is greatly damaged.
After all, most of this money is raised by them through banks, capital markets and various means, and there is interest and repayment period.
It's okay for them to take the plot, but if they can't take it, the funds will settle down, and it will become a debt, and the daily interest will crush them to death.
So today, neither the president of the Shanghai Chamber of Commerce nor the president of the Jinmen Chamber of Commerce came to attend the birthday banquet.
Only two representatives were sent.
And these two people are still sitting together.
Something is destined to happen.
Zhang Dahai's surface sank like water, he lowered his voice, his voice was a little hoarse, and said, "Okay! Since you think Lin Xuan can win, how about we make a bet?"
Say. Wu Qidong pondered for a moment before he said.
"If Lin Xuan can turn the tables, then our Jinmen Chamber of Commerce will withdraw from the competition of the Shanghai Free Trade Zone, if not, then your Shanghai Chamber of Commerce will withdraw obediently!
Wu Qidong looked surprised, pondered for a moment, and then said slowly: "This seems to be a little unfair, everyone can see that my winning chance is the smallest." ”
"Then I will lower my requirements, as long as Lin Xuan can walk out of the Tang family's gate alive today, even if you win. ”
Zhang Dahai pressed forward step by step, not giving in at all.
A look of hesitation flashed on Wu Qidong's face, and he said, "I don't have the right to make a decision on this matter, I need to talk to the president." ”
"Okay, I'll wait for you! As long as Lin Xuan doesn't die, what I said will always count, as for my guarantee, you also know the relationship between the president of the Jinmen Chamber of Commerce and me, if you don't believe it, I can let him respond now." ”
A minute later, both of them got a reply.
Wu Qidong nodded.
"Our president agreed. ”
The five onlookers were directly dumbfounded, the battle of nearly 400 billion between the two major chambers of commerce made a bet so hastily, and it was all pinned on Lin Xuan.
Moreover, Lin Xuan is obviously the weak party, and it is unbelievable that the Shanghai Chamber of Commerce would suppress Lin Xuan.
"This is going to be a big deal!"
Everyone looked at each other, and from each other's eyes, they saw what they wanted to express each other.
