Chapter 302 Negotiations
Bai Sheng dismounted and sat on the tiger skin chair in the middle of his camp.
The tiger skin on this chair was the tiger he killed on Jingyanggang, Guo Sheng spread it on this chair, and wanted to send it to Bai Sheng's mansion, but Bai Sheng said that it was cold in the mountains and insisted that Guo Sheng keep it for his own use.
The elders of the beggar gang waited for Bai Sheng to sit down, and then the leader said: "This is Bai Gongzi, right?" Bai Gongzi, the people under your command said that they would wait for you to come and then discuss, so our beggar gang has waited until now, how to solve this matter of coal, please Bai Gongzi, you can give an explanation." β
Bai Sheng glanced at the other party, and saw that this beggar was very old, not eighty years old but also seventy, with white hair, wrinkled face, thin body, and the most striking thing was that his arms seemed to be longer than ordinary people, hanging down to the knees of his side.
Bai Sheng nodded and asked, "What is this elder's name?"
The old beggar said: "Help Chen Guyan under the beggar." β
Guo Sheng walked the rivers and lakes and saw a lot of knowledge, bowed down to Bai Sheng's ear and said, "This Chen Guyan is the highest status elder of the beggar gang at present. β
Bai Sheng said: "I am the master, Elder Chen is a guest, so let's talk about your requirements first." β
Elder Chen waved his long arm, pointed from the top of the mountain to the foot of the mountain, and said, "This mountain, this water, must not belong to your Bai Gongzi's family, our beggar disciples only want to pick up some charcoal here and exchange it for leftovers to eat, does Bai Gongzi agree?"
In the past ten years, the beggar gang has always been in a state of leaderlessness, but the reputation of the world's largest gang still exists, and it is even more in line with today's chaos, bandits, broken families or poor people increasing year by year.
These hard-working people are trying to stay warm, or join those bandits and thieves, or join the beggars, all to survive.
Therefore, although the high-level strength of the beggar gang is gradually declining, there are more and more low-level disciples.
There were many disciples, and there was no leader to do some business, so gradually the discipline in the gang was scattered.
Nowadays, the beggars and disciples all over the state and county towns across the country can no longer support themselves by begging, so most of them do some work such as collecting dung and burying corpses, which no one likes to do, but even so they can't feed many people to eat, and they have no choice but to do some evil things of petty theft, and the reputation of the beggars is declining.
Especially because no one in the gang is subordinate to anyone, each leader leads a series of people, and the starting point of his actions is only to seek his own selfishness, and no one will stand up to restrain all the members, because if it is under the hands of other elders, it will be said that it is a food grab.
But this time to negotiate in the mine is different, this time is the most concerted by the beggars in the past ten years.
Because everyone can see that this charcoal business is equivalent to picking up money everywhere, you Bai Sheng's people can pick it up, why can't my beggar help disciples pick it up? As long as you can get a piece of this business, do you still need to sneak around?
Therefore, after several martial arts battles with the forces in the mine, instead of admitting defeat and giving in, the disciples of the Beggar Gang gathered the elites of the whole gang and were determined to win this unprofitable deal.
At this time, Elder Chen directly asked Bai Sheng to give an answer, and his tone was very polite, and those nearly 100 beggar disciples who were standing behind him knew that Bai Sheng would not give in, and they were ready to go into battle, just waiting for Bai Sheng to refuse, and the two sides immediately started fighting.
The people on Bai Sheng's side all learned about Bai Sheng's arrangements in advance, and they were also waiting for Bai Sheng's orders.
Everyone on both sides focused their eyes on Bai Sheng's face.
However, Bai Sheng's answer was very unexpected, only to see him nod and smile: "This is okay, I think it is okay! In this way, I will hand over this mine to your beggar gang to manage, and half of the money from the sale will be half of our family, do you think this is good?"
As soon as he said this, everyone was stunned, wondering if there was something wrong with their ears.
Chen Guyan even asked: "Is Bai Gongzi's words true?
Half of the profit is a family, what a benefit is this? This is a benefit that exceeds the expectations of the beggars by a hundred times! How could Bai Sheng make such a concession? So no one dared to believe that what Bai Sheng said was true.
Bai Sheng smiled: "Of course it's true. β
"This ......" Chen Guyan rubbed his two old hands, and his voice trembled: "How can we be embarrassed to accept this?"
After all, the people in the beggar gang still want face, they know very well in their hearts that they should be at a loss when they come to grab food, and they thought that it would be good to be able to scoop a bowl of soup from Bai Sheng's pot in the future, but they gave you half a pot of meat and bones, which is worthy of it.
Even the other seven elders beside Chen Guyan also showed embarrassed looks, and they all echoed: "Yes, yes, how is this embarrassing?"
The brothers behind Bai Sheng were also dumbfounded, didn't they arrange for everyone to prepare to make a move? Although the enemy has not yet arrived, and it will take a while, but now that you promise the beggars to make heavy profits, you will not be able to recover it if you go back and collect it.
In people's minds, Bai Sheng is the boss, and what the boss says cannot be reversed. If Bai Sheng really broke his word and became fat, then his brothers would have no face from now on.
But if the mine is handed over to the beggar gang, these brothers will also feel ashamed, oh, let the beggar gang scare and scare it, how will they mix in the rivers and lakes in the future?
But I heard Bai Sheng say: "What I said is true, but what about ......"
When everyone on both sides heard this "but", they all felt relieved, they had been waiting for this "but" for a long time, and if there was no such "but", this matter would simply be unreasonable.
What Bai Sheng said next was: "However, you can't just get the mine without effort. β
Chen Guyan and the other elders around him glanced at each other, and nodded to each other, this is the right topic, after all, it is still necessary to fight to solve the problem.
But the next moment, Bai Sheng's words subverted people's expectations: "In this way, you pick the best martial arts to fight with me, let me see if you have the strength to defend this golden mountain." β
Without waiting for Chen Guyan and the other elders to understand the meaning of these words, Bai Sheng continued: "If you win, then this mine will be directly mined by you, and you don't have to give me half of the money from the sale, all of it will be yours!"
As soon as these words came out, the whole audience was stunned, how did this sound like it was twice as good as just now?
Chen Guyan is already an old man, of course he will not be naΓ―ve, and immediately said with a solemn face: "Bai Gongzi, what do you mean...... There's no way our people can beat you?"
Bai Sheng nodded and said: "That's right, you definitely can't win, whether it's a heads-up or a group fight, in fact, my original intention in doing this is to tell you that I didn't give you the mine because I was afraid of you, let alone because I couldn't beat you!"
Chen Guyan said curiously: "Then what are you for?"
Bai Sheng said: "It's not easy to see that you beggars are helping, I want to help you, okay?"
Chen Guyan stared at Bai Sheng suspiciously for a long time, how could he see that Bai Sheng didn't seem to be such a kind person, and said, "Or, the old man will learn Bai Gongzi's tricks?"
He didn't believe how high Bai Sheng's martial arts skills were, what kind of kung fu could a twenty-year-old hairy guy have? The young masters he had ever seen in his life were only two or three people, and they were all unborn geniuses, how could there always be such a genius in this world?
