Chapter 429 Reading is still climbing a mountain

Lu Shanmin has been missing for a week. When Qin Feng came back and told everyone that Lu Shanmin had some private matters and wanted to take a few days off, Ruan Yu, Tang Fei and others did not take it too seriously.

The previous plan has been set, and there will be no big deal in the preparation stage of both companies, and there is no need for Lu Shanmin to take care of everything in detail. With them, just follow the established plan step by step, just treat it as a way to let Lu Shanmin take a vacation for a period of time.

The establishment of Yangcheng Entertainment Co., Ltd. was very smooth. Nearly twenty bars were placed there, with complete staffing and various procedures. In addition, the reputation of Lu Shanmin increased greatly in the Baihui District by assisting the police in arresting Chang Zan, a big drug dealer. The company was established smoothly, and no relevant departments deliberately set up obstacles. The business license was quickly processed.

Changzan's industry has finally entered the judicial auction stage, and Yangcheng Entertainment has already paid a deposit of two million. Everything seems to be going according to the plan.

The first plan was to only take pictures of Shengshi Bar and Phyllis KTV, the two most profitable places on the Straits Avenue. But later Lu Shanmin insisted on taking pictures of the two casinos in the old community, which made everyone puzzled and aroused strong opposition from Lu Shuang. With the tight funds, it was a very unwise choice to take pictures of the two old communities deep in the old community, and it could even be said to be a completely stupid move. However, Lu Shanmin was very determined at the time. In the end, he included the two buildings in the auction plan.

As soon as Yangcheng Entertainment Co., Ltd. was established, Lu Shuang couldn't wait to find Jiang Yan with her newly-processed business license and financial statements of various bars, hoping to bring more money from the bank.

However, what surprised and anxious Lu Shuang was that she went to Jiang Yan four times in a row, but she didn't see President Jiang. Jiang Yan was either not in the bank or was in a meeting. Once, Lu Shuang was blocking the bank entrance with information in her arms, but she couldn't stop Jiang Yan.

Just when everyone was very puzzled and anxious, Zhou Tong's Information Department found out that there were three people who paid the auction deposit this time.

This made everyone feel even more puzzled. With Lu Shanmin's reputation in the Parkway, and with their power at the peak of Zhigang Avenue, no one has any reason to steal Shengshi Bar and Phyllis KTV. Not to mention whether they are afraid of Lu Shanmin's revenge. Even if they successfully robbed it, Lu Shanmin's power at Zhigang Avenue will not be able to operate it.

Even though they knew it was a hot potato, they were still losing money even though they were grabbing it. Did those people who participated in the auction get kicked in the heads by donkeys?

I thought it was something in my pocket, so I just wanted to find a few people to accompany the auction and go through the motions. No one would have thought that Chen Yaojin would appear halfway.

Ma Dong frowned, "The development of things has deviated from the original track, I suggest that Brother Shanmin come back as soon as possible."

Lu Shuang quickly said, "I suggest that President Jiang is avoiding him now. The funds from the Building Materials City can be temporarily moved, but the industrial auction that is often praised next week will begin. It would be fine if there are no competitors. Now that there are three bidding competitors, it is not clear how much more you have to spend. If the auction is just spent, and the loan cannot be borrowed in time, what should I do in the Building Materials City? How can Hu Weiyong explain it? Brother Shanmin must come back and preside over the work immediately."

Tang Fei was still wearing a bandage on his hand, shook his head and said, "We all know the mountain people. He said that if there is an urgent matter, there must be an urgent matter. If there is such a small matter, you have to trouble him. What's the use of asking us people?"

Lu Shuang snorted, "Is this still a trivial matter? It was estimated that the starting price could be obtained. Now that there are competitors, how much more will it cost? 10 million? 20 million? 30 million? Do you give it money?"

Tang Fei coughed lightly and said awkwardly: "Don't be anxious, the matter is not yet unsolvable."

Lu Shuang pursed her lips: "Hmph, you are not in a hurry, you only know that your mouth is clattering. If you don't take charge of your business, you don't know that the food and rice are expensive."

Ruan Yu frowned and thought for a while, "I agree with Tang Fei's opinion. Everyone here has shares of Yangcheng Entertainment. After the loan is completed, we will also cross-hold shares in the building materials company. The company is not Shanmin Ge alone, we all have a share. As our industry continues to expand, we will face more and more things. Shanmin Ge does not have three heads and six arms, so we cannot rely on him in everything."

Zhou Tong and Meng Ao looked at each other, "There is still one week to go on the auction, and we still have time. I also think there is no need to rush to find Brother Shanmin back for the time being."

Tang Fei looked at the bobcat who bowed his head and said nothing, "Boycat, what do you think?"

Bobcat frowned slightly, "Director Lu, how difficult is it to find a loan from other banks?"

Lu Shuang looked worried, "It is almost impossible. Most of the bars we have already made mortgages. In the past, the bars were self-employed, and most of the funds were taken to get away from taxes. Now, although the company has been packaged and established, the newly established company has almost no bank statements. If it weren't for the relationship between Shanmin and President Jiang, they wouldn't have borrowed so much. If it weren't for the relationship between Shanmin and President Jiang, they wouldn't have even let us in when they came to other banks."

"Brother Zhou Tong, can you find out the details of the other three bidders?" The bobcat continued to smell.

Zhou Tong said lightly: "I have arranged for people to investigate, but there is no definite news yet."

The Bobcat was silent for a moment, "If something goes wrong, there will be a demon. Everyone knows that Zhigang Avenue is our territory. Even if the other party takes over Shengshi Bar and Phyllis KTV, he will never want to gain a foothold on Zhigang Avenue. Do you think this situation is very familiar?"

After a while of silence in the office, Tang Fei said with a cigarette in his mouth: "This situation is like when we entered Zhigang Avenue, but now our identity has changed. We stand in Chang Zan's position, and the other party is like us at the beginning."

The Bobcat nodded and shook his head again, "But it is still different in essence. When we often praised Chen Ran's checks and balances, it was not clean. We are different. We are not allowed to be checked and balanced by anyone, and there is no handle for others to catch them. In this case, no matter who takes Shengshi Bar and Phyllis KTV, with our power on Zhigang Avenue, he can easily lose all his underwear."

Ruan Yu browsed, "What you mean is that the other party competes with us but doesn't want to make money with Shengshi Bar and Phyllis KTV."

The Bobcat was thinking, "or it was trying to make us pay more money. In short, the other party should not be for the money. If I guess right, I should have deliberately disgusted us."

Zhou Tong took a breath, "Shengshi Bar and Phyllis KTV will not be less investment. They know that it is impossible to make money and have to come and play. They can get tens of millions of dollars to waste their money. This is not the courage that ordinary rich people can have."

"I have money, but I am not afraid of offending Shanmin Brother, which means I should be a big shot." Ruan Yu continued.

The Bobcat nodded, "This can explain why Jiang Yan hides from us. Since she is a big man, she probably puts pressure on President Jiang, otherwise President Jiang would not even be out of our face."

Ruan Yu frowned and his face was covered in frost, "Who is going to deal with us?"

The office was in silence.

"Can it be the preparations of the building materials company that triggered the building materials bosses in Baihui District?" Tang Fei asked.

Bobcat thought for a moment, "With this possibility, maybe the other party wants to spend most of our funds using the auctions of Shengshi Bar and Phyllis KTV, so that the building materials city cannot be successfully established."

Lu Shuang shook her head, "It is unlikely from my perspective. Although those building materials bosses have the motivation to do this, are they able to influence the president of a bank in Baihui District? To put it bluntly, those bosses are not big bosses. They all have to beg for bank affairs. They do not have the courage or ability to force President Jiang to such a situation."

Ruan Yu nodded slightly, "Lu Shuang, from your perspective, what is the most likely reason for Jiang Yan to avoid him?"

Lu Shuang thought about it and said, "There are two possibilities. One is that a large group company has come forward to use strong capital enticements, and the other is that President Jiang has a handle and is threatened by others. After all, our previous two loans did not fully meet the bank's lending standards, but no matter which one is, it should not be accessible to those building materials bosses."

Tang Fei scratched his head, "I'll tell me to see, no matter who is making trouble behind the scenes, the most important thing now is to find the person. Lu Shuang continues to look for Jiang Yan, and must ask who is coercing and tempting her. Zhou Tong continued to send people to investigate from the three people participating in the auction, follow the clues, and dig him out three feet of the ground. As long as he finds him, sees me not to peel him off, he wants to play with us, and we will play with him."

The bobcat moved his lips, "Brother Fei, Brother Shanmin said that we are legitimate businessmen and we must be civilized."

Tang Fei cut, "It's nonsense. Others are talking about civilization behind their backs. I'm just fighting that bastard openly and uncivilized. How can this be done in the world?"

According to previous discussions with Lu Shanmin, the site selection of the Building Materials City was chosen in a location not far from Ning'an Road and the original Building Materials Market.

During this period, Hu Weiyong was so busy that he arranged the site selection and negotiated with suppliers, and also wanted to win over some store owners of the original building materials market. After all, building a building materials city also requires the support of some original building materials merchants.

Differentiation and disintegration, winning over and suppressing, only eight words are said, and it is harder to do than climbing to the sky. Hu Weiyong deeply felt the sentence of "opening the mouth and running the legs under the bottom".

According to the original plan, the building materials company still mainly engages in major projects such as steel, cement, and wood. Other projects such as cables, pipes, and ceramic tiles still require some building materials merchants to settle in the building materials city to support the storefront.

Hu Weiyong led Hu Ming, his original team and seven or eight smart and capable security guards drawn by Lu Shanmin, and he broke his legs during this period.

But the effect was not ideal. Except for a few of the building materials merchants in the building materials market, who were originally timid and afraid of things, and were frightened by Lu Shanmin's reputation and agreed to move to the building materials city, most of them talked about him and said something that was not painful. He knew that these people had no intention of cooperation at all. On the surface, they were false and slandered, but in fact, they had their backbone broken when they went out. The entire building materials market was full of curses, saying that Hu Weiyong was a traitor and an old dog of Lu Shanmin. Hu Weiyong was so angry that he jumped straight.

Some building materials merchants even blatantly boycotted them, cursing Hu Weiyong in person when they saw him, and even asked someone to pour paint on their doors in the middle of the night.

Hu Ming was so angry that he rolled up his sleeves and prepared to ask Chen Wanlin and Ma Sen to lead a group of gangsters to smash their shop. If Hu Weiyong hadn't tried his best to stop them, the shops would have been smashed to pieces long ago.

The father and son dragged their tired bodies back home, staring at each other with big eyes and sulking.

"Dad, this is not a solution. Those people are all mean and they don't know how to hurt them if they don't deal with them."

"Shut up," Hu Weiyong scolded.

"You guy is very young. Do you think you dare to jump around just by just a few of them. Do you know who is urging behind you? It is easy to smash a few stores and beat people. If you are fanning the flames and causing public outrage, can you beat them all down? They are eager to make a big deal now, just waiting for you to come and smash someone's shop. Doing business is not a street fight, you have to use your brain, otherwise you will be led by others and you won't know how you die."

Hu Ming angrily patted his thigh, "What should I do? The three floors of Ning'an Road have been negotiated. Next week, I signed a contract and paid the rent and moved in. At that time, we will only have two or three steel, cement and timber stores. Will others be able to make fun of it?"

Hu Weiyong frowned, "It's a trivial matter to watch jokes. If you don't win over some alliances, once a price war starts, just our assets will not be enough to pay the coffin."

The two were at a loss when Hu Weiyong's cell phone rang.

Hu Weiyong took out his cell phone and saw that it was called by Guan Candong, the manager of his steel store, and quickly answered the phone.

"How about it"?

"Mr. Hu, our original steel supplier refused to supply us."

Hu Weiyong turned off the phone and slapped the table in anger, "It's too much."

"What's wrong, dad?" Hu Ming asked quickly.

"It turns out that the two steel factories that originally supplied us refused to supply us."

"Ah"? Hu Ming was shocked, "Why? Didn't those two steel factories supply more than ten years of goods to our previous stores?"

Hu Weiyong lit a cigarette and frowned, "We are all thinking too simply. It seems that the group of dealers in the building materials market who are usually intriguing and intrigue have formed a group and put pressure on suppliers collectively."

Hu Ming was so angry that he gritted his teeth, "Those bastards"!

"Dad, do we want to tell Brother Shanmin?"

Hu Weiyong shook his head, "I called Tang Fei yesterday. Lu Shanmin didn't know where he went recently, and no one could contact him."

"Dad, then what should we do now?"

Hu Weiyong thought for a moment, "I don't know the nature of those bosses in the building materials market. In order to grab customers and business, many people have conflicts with each other. This time, if they can unite so quickly, someone will definitely be the leader behind the scenes."

Hu Ming thought for a while, "I'll call Brother Zhou later and ask him to send a few people from the Information Department to cooperate with our investigation, and we must find the leader."

Hu Weiyong showed a hint of relief on his tired face, "That's right. First clarify your thoughts and push them in layer by layer like peeling an onion. Don't fight and kill at any time, and look at our own goals."

There was a strange person in the library of Finance College in the past week. He was unkempt and had a sludge, a slag-faced man, and was eating, drinking, and living. He was all in the library. When he was thirsty, he would hold a large bucket of mineral water and drink for two sips. When he was hungry, he would chew two steamed buns, and when he was sleepy, he would just sleep on the ground. If this person hadn't always kept his timid and divine eyes reading, he would probably have been regarded as a mentally tramp.

Early in the morning, there was no one in the library. Lu Shanmin played a Tai Chi tour inside and practiced the boxing skills taught by Scar, and was full of energy.

The old man handed over two steamed buns and a box of pickles. During this period, he, the librarian, also worked part-time to serve Lu Shanmin in the cafeteria.

In a week, Lu Shanmin also learned that the old man's surname was Li. He has been working as an administrator here since the opening of this library. He had been working as an administrator for more than 50 years. He should have retired ten years ago and couldn't live at home, so he took the initiative to apply to continue working in the library.

Lu Shanmin asked while gnawing on steamed buns: "Old Li, do you know where every book in the library is?"

"Of course, I not only know where they are, but also what they are talking about."

Lu Shanmin exclaimed, "You are so awesome."

"Haha, if you stay here for fifty-two years, you can do it."

Lu Shanmin smiled awkwardly, "I don't have the patience to stay for so long."

"Hehe, that's not necessarily the case. Haven't you been here for six days?"

"That's different. I came with a purpose. I will go out when I find the answer."

"What if I can't find the answer?" the old man asked with a smile.

"I'm almost finding the answer."

"Haha, then you are quite lucky. I have been here for the rest of my life and I have never found the answer."

Lu Shanmin was stunned for a moment and asked, "Mr. Li, what answer are you looking for?"
