Chapter Twenty-Three: Numbers
"Master Lei, I have cooperated with many forces, not just with Duan Chen of the Seven Evil Sects."
Zhang Luo said to Lei Yuanshan.
Lei Yuanshan smiled and nodded:
"Well, that's for the best. This business can't be too tendentious and impartial, and the business can last for a long time, right? ”
"Yes, thank you for your teachings."
Zhang Luo nodded modestly.
"Hahaha, it's not a teaching. In terms of cultivation, I have lived for so many years, and I can give you some guidance, but when it comes to doing business, you are the master. ”
Lei Yuanshan smiled kindly and looked at Zhang Luo with appreciative eyes.
Zhang Luo waved his hand:
"My achievements today are all due to Lei Ye's appreciation, so no matter what aspect I am in, no matter when, I need your guidance."
"Hahaha, you, you're just too modest."
"I'm afraid that it will be easy to offend people if I am too public, no, I just offended a new inspector general not long ago, and now I have a headache."
Zhang Luo said with a wry smile.
"The Law Enforcement Hall has the right to supervise and enforce the law of the major sects, and I have always felt that I am superior to others, and I am an upper-class person, and arrogance is inevitable. So if you want to do business well, you have to have a good relationship with these people above. ”
Lei Yuanshan said casually.
Zhang Luo nodded quietly when he heard this:
"I understand what Lei Ye means."
Lei Yuanshan looked at him, as if smiling, but did not speak.
Zhang Luo's eyes drooped, and he said lightly:
"Recently, a friend sent me a batch of fine tea, I am from the bottom and I am not used to drinking these things, so I thought about sending you tea. It's a good thing, and you have to have someone like you to taste it. ”
"Hahahaha."
Lei Yuanshan smiled brightly when he heard this.
"It's rare that you have this heart, so I won't be polite to you."
"Master Lei, don't be polite to me."
"Ah Luo, since you have become an immortal cultivator, it doesn't matter what your background is. Do your best, and you will be the real upper class person in the future! ”
"Good!"
"Okay, go about your own business, I won't keep you. By the way, you took back this painting on the table and gave it to you. ”
"Thank you, Master Lei."
"You kid, you're just too polite."
“.......”
Soon, Zhang Luo went downstairs with the words written by Lei Yuanshan in his hand, politely declined Lei Qingyu's invitation, and returned to his residence by car.
"What is the matter with Lei Ye looking for you?"
In the car, Long Yan asked directly.
Zhang Luo handed the words in his hand to the other party.
Long Yan unfolded it and took a look:
"Anger? Does he want you not to continue to fight against Qiu Ao and Gao Huaqiang? ”
Zhang Luo closed his eyes and leaned back in his seat:
"He's banging me. In addition, I am also reminded that the income of the one-yuan film market is worth his share, and I have already deducted it. ”
"! The three deputy hall masters in Longjiao District, we pay the most every quarter, and he is not satisfied? ”
Long Yan's face was gloomy.
"Over the years, he has crossed the dragon gate through alchemy, breaking through to the middle three realms, and the consumption has been increasing in recent years, and he needs to have enough money to support him, otherwise he would not have made an exception to promote me at the beginning. If I can't get what he wants, how can he give up? ”
Zhang Luo said in a flat tone, as if he didn't care about his income being shared.
"But this trip wasn't all fruitless."
"Huh?"
Long Yan looked at Zhang Luo.
As soon as he came up, he reminded me not to get too close to Duan Chen, obviously hearing some rumors. So I can now be sure that something must have happened to Duan Chen's side, and this ship will sink! ”
Zhang Luo opened his eyes and said firmly.
Long Yan frowned:
"So, Qiu Ao wants to use Duan Chen to drag us into the water?"
"Yes, Qiu Ao sealed the factory just to provoke me and make me feel that he was just coming at me, so he chose to join forces with Duan Chen to deal with him and Gao Huaqiang."
"Then, let's just withdraw like that, and the gunsmith factory will have to give up."
Long Yan looked regretful.
He really believed what Zhang Luo said, and believed that one day in the future, the power of firearms could rival that of monks, but the premise was that they had the ability to produce and develop firearms by themselves.
Tatsuhiko had always dreamed that he would be able to kill powerful monks with his guns, so he also attached great importance to the gunsmith's factory.
It's a pity that I can only choose to give up now.
Zhang Luo didn't speak when he heard this, his eyes looked at the scenery outside the car window with deep eyes, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
......
Night falls.
At the junction of Changle Street and Anren Street, two groups of people confronted each other from a distance.
"Brother Luo, it's been checked, no problem."
A junior brother reported to Zhang Luo.
Zhang Luo nodded and led the three of them towards a restaurant in front of him.
At the same time, someone on the opposite side also walked out with three people, and the leader was Gao Huaqiang.
Zhang Luo called Gao Huaqiang after meeting Lei Yuanshan and asked the other party to 'talk about counting' tonight.
However, he did not call Duan Chen as Duan Chen requested.
He told Duan Chen that Gao Huaqiang only accepted to talk to him alone, and Duan Chen could only repeatedly emphasize the necessity of cooperation between the two sides, and asked him to exchange the hostages in his hand for Gao Huaqiang to stop temporarily.
Now, according to the pre-agreement, the two bigwigs each took three people into a restaurant to 'talk about the number'.
The three people Zhang Luo brought were Long Yan, Zhao Yihu and a Bone Cutting Realm monk named Tang Yi.
Gao Huaqiang's side brought a Nayuan Realm monk and two Bone Cutting Realm martial cultivators.
In close contact battles, martial cultivators have more advantages than traditional monks, once they are close to martial cultivators, it will be difficult for monks of the same realm to fight, so Gao Huaqiang brought two martial cultivators, as for the Nayuan realm monk, it was his younger brother Gao Huasheng.
Originally, Gao Huaqiang didn't want Gao Huasheng to come, but Gao Huasheng said that he wanted to see with his own eyes what kind of person Zhang Luo was, so he came with him tonight.
The two sides entered the restaurant, which was empty and had been cleared in advance.
Zhang Luo and Gao Huaqiang sat opposite each other at the round table in the center of the lobby where the tea set had been arranged, and the people they brought with them stood not far behind them.
Gao Huaqiang is still in a suit and leather shoes, and he looks spotless.
He was born as a fish seller, but he paid more attention to his demeanor than others.
Zhang Luo was dressed more casually today, wearing a black shirt and shorts, looking like he had eaten dinner and went out for a walk.
"Boss Gao is very majestic today, I heard that Duan Chen's little boss was captured by you, and most of them were taken away by you?"
Zhang Luo asked with a smile.
Although the peripheral members are not as important as the monks, they must be there, otherwise many things cannot be done. Gao Huaqiang took away all the small leaders under Duan Chen, and Duan Chen's forces naturally became a plate of scattered sand, and they would collapse in a short period of time.
Gao Huaqiang touched his tie and smiled reservedly:
"Hall Master Zhang is going to intercede for Duan Chen tonight?"
"No, I'm here to make a deal with you."
"What deal?"
"You have five monks in my possession, what are you going to give them in exchange?"
Gao Huaqiang was still smiling when he heard this:
"What does Hall Master Zhang want?"
"It depends on what you can give me."
Zhang Luo said lightly.
Gao Huaqiang picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip unhurriedly, then he looked at Zhang Luo, leaned forward slightly, and said word by word:
"I can give you a chance to live!"
