Chapter 668: Using Force to Suppress Others
If possible, Liang Yanqing never wanted to deal with Su Yi. He just wanted to stay as far away from Su Yi as possible, because he knew that this person was a lawless desperado.
And the biggest nemesis of businessmen is the lawless desperado who does not abide by the rules.
The thing Liang Yanqing regretted most was that he was deceived by Su Yi, traded with Su Yi, and sent him to Jinling.
Is Sanye Baiji the murderer?
How did Sanye Baiji get to Jinling? Others don't know, but doesn't he know?
So what is the truth of that earth-shattering event? Others don't know, but Liang Yanqing can't guess it?
Although he didn't want to admit it, Liang Yanqing knew that when he saw Su Yi again, his legs were shaking.
Why did he hide in Yu Xuezhen's military camp these days and didn't dare to come out?
Because he was afraid that Su Yi would kill him.
He even thought about escaping abroad, but he couldn't bear to give up his foundation and his business.
So he hid in Yu Xuezhong's place and confronted Su Yi, with a fierce appearance but a weak heart.
Then why did he change his mind today and come to the appointment?
Wasn't he afraid that Su Yi was luring him to appear and then killing him to silence him?
He really dispelled his worries in this regard, because Su Yi once again came out in the open and made it clear that he wanted to make a difference in the foot industry.
In this way, Su Yi was put on a layer of businessman's shackles from his original identity as a desperate criminal. He changed from a barefoot killer to a businessman wearing shoes.
Liang Yanqing thought it would be a good idea to talk to Su Yi. He didn't want to worry about Su Yi silencing him all the time. If he could resolve the conflict or let the two sides reach a reconciliation balance, he would be happy to do so.
But he came, and Liang Yanqing still spent a lot of money to let Yu Xuezhong send a company of soldiers to protect him to the appointment.
When three military vehicles stopped at the gate of Dengying Tower and more than a hundred soldiers surrounded Liang Yanqing and walked in front of Su Yi, Su Yi couldn't help but laugh. How afraid is this old man to die?
Not only that, the two of them sat down and exchanged greetings for a while. Liang Yanqing didn't touch the wine and food on the table. He was extremely cautious.
Seeing that this old man was so defensive against him, Su Yi was also quite speechless and boring. He simply stopped beating around the bush and said it clearly.
"Mr. Liang, if you expose my going to Jinling, what do you think will happen?" Su Yi asked with a smile.
"Mr. Geng, I'm a businessman, and I've always been careful about what I say and do..."
Su Yi smiled and waved his hand: "It's just an assumption, I mean if."
Liang Yanqing followed the principle of being careful and prudent and said: "I'm stupid..."
Su Yi asked himself and answered directly: "I said, it's useless for you to expose it. Except for the people of Zhepeng who are happy for you to clear their grievances, no one will care about the truth. The truth now is the truth that everyone can accept and want to see!"
"Will it be a loss to me if you expose it? Not at all, because no one will believe you at all. I am a hero in Tianjin, famous all over the country. Do you think everyone will believe me or you?"
"Not to mention, the people who benefited this time are on my side. If you dare to speak, I don't even need to come forward. There are many people who tell you to shut up."
Looking at Liang Yanqing who seemed to be thinking about something, Su Yi continued with a smile: "As for the Zhepeng people...even without you, they can guess something. Without you, they will not let us go. It's just that the nature of the blame this time is too bad. They are now in a mess and isolated by the whole world. They can't spare any time and have no time to care about me."
"Mr. Liang, so what reason do you think I have to harm you? Does it matter to me whether you are alive or dead?" Su Yi finally spread his hands and said, "These words, I, Geng, have been frank, right? Mr. Liang, if you are still like a frightened bird, afraid of me and on guard against me, then today's meal is my thank-you banquet. After this meal, we will go our separate ways."
Liang Yanqing let out a long breath, clasped his fists to Su Yi, and said with a smile: "The older you are in the world, the less courageous you are. Mr. Geng, I'm sorry to make you laugh."
Su Yi smiled but said nothing.
Liang Yanqing pondered for a moment, picked up the wine on the table, and said, "I will drink three glasses of wine as a punishment to express my apology."
Su Yi then stopped him with a smile: "You are the elder, how can I let you drink the wine?"
After this stop and a few greetings, the atmosphere became harmonious and warm.
After a brief business talk, Su Yi stated his ultimate goal.
"Mr. Liang, let's be frank. This time I asked Mr. Liang out because I want the Chamber of Commerce and the Footwear Industry to have in-depth and formal cooperation." Su Yi said with a smile, "I wonder if Mr. Liang is interested?"
Liang Yanqing's eyes flashed, and he said, "Can Mr. Geng represent the Footwear Industry now?"
"No." Su Yi smiled faintly, "But Mr. Liang, where do you think I can place the 50,000 Liba?"
"Great courage..." Liang Yanqing couldn't help but praise, "Your move is simply digging the flesh and blood of the Qing Gang and the Santonghui."
"But it hasn't cut off their roots!" Su Yi said, "So I came to find Mr. Liang. If Mr. Liang is willing to cooperate with me, it won't take long for the Footwear Industry to completely be named Geng."
"How do you want to cooperate?" Liang Yanqing asked.
...
When Su Yi and Liang Yanqing had a good chat and walked out of the private room talking and laughing, two people were waiting outside the door, a foreigner and a gentle middle-aged man wearing glasses.
"Uncle Geng, they said they are looking for you and have been waiting here for a while." Yixiantian came up and reported.
Su Yigang was about to ask about the identities of these two people, but Liang Yanqing on the side recognized them.
"Mr. Hunter? Secretary Zhao?" Liang Yanqing said in surprise, "You two are..."
"We are also here to see Mr. Geng." The foreign devil said in half-baked Chinese, "Mr. Liang, are you over with your meeting with Mr. Geng?"
"It's over, it's over." Liang Yanqing smiled and turned to introduce to Su Yi, "This Mr. Hunter is from the Ministry of Industry Bureau of the British Concession, and this Secretary Zhao is Deputy Mayor Song's right-hand man."
"Nice to meet you, nice to meet you." Su Yi smiled and offered his hands to the two of them.
"Mr. Geng, I would like to extend an invitation to you on behalf of Mr. John, the director of the Industrial Bureau of the British Concession. Director John wants to see you and has something to discuss with you," the foreigner said.
"Mr. Geng, Mayor Song and Mr. John are together. I am here to invite you on behalf of Mayor Song. Please come with us." Secretary Zhao also said.
Liang Yanqing was thoughtful and smiled at Su Yi: "Brother Geng, you are really hot now."
"I'm afraid it will give a lot of people a headache." Su Yi smiled, "Mr. Liang, I hope we can sign an agreement tomorrow."
"I will ask the lawyers to draw up the contract as soon as possible." Liang Yanqing said seriously, "This is a win-win situation. I think the entire chamber of commerce will have no objection."
"That's good," Su Yi nodded, and then said to the foreign Japanese and Secretary Zhao in front of him, "I know why you came, but I'm afraid I will let down Mr. John and Mayor Song. In order to avoid both parties It’s embarrassing. There’s no need to meet. You two, please go back. Please also convey my apology to Mr. John and Mayor Song. Farewell!”
After saying that, he clasped his fists, turned around and left.
"Mr. Geng..." The two of them hurriedly tried to stop him, but were stopped by Xian Xiantian.
Xian Tiantian stared at them coldly and took a few steps back, then quickly caught up with Su Yi and disappeared in front of them in the blink of an eye.
Hunter, the foreign devil, looked livid and said in embarrassment: "Who does he think he is? How dare he not give Mr. John face!"
"Geng Liangchen can recruit 50,000 Liba at once. Everyone knows what he is going to do." Liang Yanqing said with a smile, "Mr. John and Mayor Song have to stand up for the Qinggang and Santonghui at this time. If I were him, I wouldn't want to . This is not a matter of face, but an income of hundreds of thousands of dollars a month!”
Secretary Zhao shook his head and sighed: "Why don't we know? Now the Qinggang and Santonghui are willing to give up some interests in exchange for peace. Who knows that Mr. John and Mayor Song have come forward, and Geng Liangchen still doesn't even have a chance to talk. Not to them."
Liang Yanqing thought of the deal he and Su Yi had just negotiated, a strange look flashed in his eyes, and said, "Maybe Geng Liangchen feels that there is no need to negotiate at all..."
Jia Changqing and Wu Zantong were like ants on a hot pot, anxious.
Just as Liang Yanqing said, Su Yi recruited 50,000 people at once, and everyone knew what he was going to do next——
expansion! Expand rapidly!
Only through continuous expansion could Su Yi have the territory to settle these 50,000 people. Otherwise, with the only dozen or so foot shops he currently has, it would be difficult to accommodate even five thousand people, let alone fifty thousand people.
Where to expand?
Su Yi had previously swallowed up the territory of the Baijia Gang, and his power expanded rapidly. But during the time Su Yi left, all his territory was swallowed up by the Qinggang and the Three Gangs.
Due to emotions and reasons, Su Yi's expansion direction will be towards the Qinggang and Santong Association.
Can the Qinggang and Santong stop the rising Su Yi?
This is not a question of being able to stop it, but a question of being unable to fight!
They used coercion and inducement today to prevent all the Liba under their control from defecting to Su Yi. But when Su Yizhen comes with 50,000 people tomorrow, what will be the reaction of these Lipas who were reluctantly persuaded today?
Are you expecting them to fight Su Yi?
It would be strange if they did not open their doors to welcome our troops.
Therefore, with the prestige of the name Geng Liangchen in Jinmen, there is no way to fight this battle. Once it starts, it will definitely be defeated on all fronts!
Don't talk about spitting out what you have eaten by then, most of the original territories of the Qinggang and Santonghui will not be preserved.
Jia Changqing and Wu Zantong originally wanted to assassinate Su Yi, but Su Yi asked someone to send a newspaper and told them to give up completely and not dare to have such an idea again.
Unable to physically destroy the enemy, they had to find other ways. Through various channels, the two invited the deputy mayor and the director of the British Concession to come forward and ask Su Yi to negotiate. They were willing to give up the territory they had robbed Su Yi of before and make certain compensation. There was only one condition, and that was ——No war!
Unexpectedly, Su Yi wouldn't even give these two big shots face.
They don’t keep their appointments at all!
And these two big shots don't want to offend Su Yi to death because of this matter, because Su Yi is very likely to be the next leader in footwear, the next Bayanqing.
As a gang leader with tens of thousands of people under his command, no force dared to underestimate Su Yi's influence and financial resources. They had no time to win over Su Yi, so how could they offend Su Yi?
When the two expressed their regrets to Jia Changqing and Wu Zantong, the two bosses were almost desperate.
"Fight with the guy named Geng!" Wu Zantong said with red eyes and gritted his teeth, "I don't believe he has three heads and six arms! It's true that he can kill Zhang Jingyao, but he is also made of flesh, so I don't believe that bullets can't kill him!"
"But what if he survives..." Jia Changqing said quietly, "What if we don't kill him, then do you think there is still a way for us to survive?"
"He has given us no way to survive now!" Wu Zantong growled, "He doesn't want to talk to us at all, he just wants to drive us all away!"
"Anyway, I don't want to be an enemy of this person." Jia Changqing sighed, "I tried to persuade my old man that Geng Liangchen is evil, but the old man didn't listen and said that the man named Geng was doomed. What's the result?"
"Jia Changqing, you've already come to this point and you're still retreating? Where can you retreat?" Wu Zantong stared.
"Where I retreat depends on what Geng Liangchen wants." Jia Changqing shook his head, "I will go back to our old man and let him think of another way. Boss Wu, you also go and ask Zhepeng, as long as Geng can be The good times are gone, no matter what happens! Even if our Qing Gang all quits, I will admit it."
"You admit it, does Mr. Li admit it? Do the big shots behind your Qing Gang admit it?" Wu Zantong sneered, "You put it lightly, and it makes us seem like we can really make the decision."
"So, if they don't admit it, let them find a way." Jia Changqing said, "I have no choice anyway."
Jia Changqing and Wu Zantong finally took the upper-level route.
In one afternoon, Su Yi received invitations and persuasion from various big shots, asking him to show his support and let the Qinggang and Santong Association go.
French Concession, Italian Concession, Japanese Concession, Chinese Concession...
Officials, gangs, and martial arts people all sent messages to Su Yi, hoping that Su Yi could give the Qinggang and Santonghui a way out.
In the end, Yu Xuezhong's adjutants, Zheng Shanao and Qian Jin all called Su Yi.
They are all trying to persuade Su Yi to make peace and do not want Su Yi to fight this battle.
The Qinggang and Santonghui said that not only were they willing to withdraw from the territory that they had previously occupied Su Yi, but they were also willing to join 30 more gangs from the two families as compensation for Su Yi.
In the end, Su Yi finally relented for the sake of Adjutant Yu Xuezhong.
He also put forward his own conditions - all activities of the Santonghui except the Japanese Concession must be handed over; the Qinggang completely withdraws from the French Concession and the Chinese Concession, and all the territory is taken over by Su Yi.
This condition is not undemanding. It is equivalent to causing the Qinggang and Santonghui to lose nearly half of their existing territory in one fell swoop.
But Wu Zantong and Jia Changqing thought about it again and again, hesitated for a long time, and finally agreed to Su Yi's conditions.
In this way, Su Yibing got everything he wanted without any bloodshed.
