Chapter 183 Opportunity

In the morning, Su Tianyu and the others had just finished breakfast and were preparing to go to the company when they finally received the long-awaited phone call.

"Hello?" Yu Mingyuan stood in the living room and answered the phone.

"Mingyuan? Haha, this is You Yifan. Are you busy?"

"...Oh, it's Brother You!" Yu Mingyuan paused for a moment and replied, "I didn't save your number before, haha, I'm not busy, just about to go to the company."

You Yifan paused. "I don't have anything to do today. If you're free, come over for a chat. I just finished talking with some leaders from the Coast Guard about the dockworkers association."

"I'm free. Where are you?"

"I'm waiting for you at Fubao Teahouse in Tianhong Port. Just come over." You Yifan replied.

"Okay, okay, I'll be there in about half an hour."

"Alright, I'll wait for you." With that, You Yifan hung up the phone.

Finally, the call came. The ice was finally broken! Yu Mingyuan, feeling a little excited, shouted to Su Tianyu, "Gou Liu! Don't go to the company. Come with me to Fubao Teahouse to see You Yifan."

Bai Hongbo responded when he heard the sound, "This bastard isn't putting on airs anymore? I knew it. If he didn't want to do this, there was no need to drag us along. He could have just said so. Delaying us is just a way to ask for more benefits."

Kong Zhenghui also chimed in, "So what should we do? Should I get some more money?"

"Yes, give me another hundred." Yu Mingyuan nodded. "He's playing this game. If you don't raise the price, you're not being sensible."

"Okay, use that new card I gave you before. I'll transfer the money to you later." Kong Zhenghui nodded.

"Brothers, let's all get to our positions and get busy." Yu Mingyuan clapped his hands. "Gather at home tonight!"

"Got it!"

The others responded, and Su Tianyu and Yu Mingyuan drove to Tianhong Port, while the others went to the company and the association to work on their respective tasks.

...

Around ten o'clock in the morning, at Fubao Teahouse in Tianhong Port, a young man led Su Tianyu and Yu Mingyuan into a private room and softly reminded, "They're here, Brother Fan."

You Yifan, who was sitting in a chair playing with his phone, looked up, a smile on his face, and extended his hand, saying, "Sorry about last time, making you wait so long."

"It's alright, it's alright!"

"Sit, sit, everyone, make yourselves comfortable." You Yifan shook hands with Yu Mingyuan while sitting and greeted him proactively.

The two sat down. The waiter came in to pour tea and water, then closed the door and left, leaving only You Yifan and his follower, as well as Gou Liuzi and Yu Mingyuan in the room.

"There are no outsiders here, so let's just say what we have to say." You Yifan sat lazily in the wooden chair, drinking tea, and said casually, "Old Tong from the Coast Guard had someone say hello to me before. The people over there all want Wei Xiangzuo to be the leader."

"Yes, yes," Yu Mingyuan nodded in response, "We have a good relationship with Lao Wei too."

"Hehe." You Yifan smiled. "Let me put it this way, Wei Xiangzuo's desire to be the leader is nothing at all. As long as the military side gives the dockworkers association a heads-up, he can get the position."

Seeing that the other party was saying it so easily, Su Tianyu was not happy but worried, because the latter was clearly setting the stage for something more important.

You Yifan paused, smiled, and asked Yu Mingyuan, "Your family has connections with the garrison, right?"

Yu Mingyuan was not sure why the other party would ask this, but he immediately responded, "Yes, my aunt's husband is in the military, in District One."

"Yes, I've heard of it." You Yifan nodded. "Can you still connect with the garrison now?"

Yu Mingyuan was suspicious and did not dare to answer with certainty, "That depends on what it is."

You Yifan took a sip of tea and said lightly, "Did you guys see the news this morning? The No. 1 document."

"The control order? We saw it." Su Tianyu interjected, "We noticed that news while eating breakfast."

You Yifan nodded slowly. "Let's talk about this next part in confidence."

"Okay!" Yu Mingyuan nodded.

At this point, You Yifan perked up a bit, looked at the two of them, and quietly said, "Recently, the Mexican government army has been fighting smoothly in the Sinaloa region, the Casar region, and southern Mexico, pushing all the rebels and independent movement forces out of the red line, and has also recovered a lot of lost territory. If this continues, in less than five years, there may be no more wars in the southern territories of our Dragon City, and the Mexican government will firmly hold the power."

Su Tianyu and Yu Mingyuan did not know what the other party meant by saying these things and could only nod their heads in confusion.

"Our District One previously supported the Mexican regime and signed many agreements with them. However, recently the Mexican government army has received support from the Southern United Political Auxiliary, and their backs are a little stronger. They are starting to ignore us. Many of the conditions previously promised to District One and Dragon City have not been fulfilled. Moreover, it is said that some of the high-level officials of the Mexican regime are close to the Huaxia region, which is somewhat touching on the core political interests of District One, so there is a resource control order. In short, it is to sanction the Mexican regime."

"Ah, that's how it is." Yu Mingyuan responded.

"With the resource control order issued, the Mexican government army will be very uncomfortable. Their place has been at war, with no infrastructure and no stable social environment. All military supplies basically need to be imported. And we are connected to them by territory. This closure of District One is equivalent to cutting off at least 60 percent of their supplies." You Yifan looked at the two of them with bright eyes. "Do you know what this means?"

Su Tianyu and Yu Mingyuan had roughly guessed what the other party wanted to say.

"This means that the Sinaloa and other regions will be gold mines producing gold in the future!" You Yifan said, word by word, "The Mexican government has multiple investors behind it. They don't lack money, just materials and infrastructure… Therefore, during the period when the control order is in effect, many people in Dragon City will be unlucky because of this policy, and there will definitely be many people who will take advantage of this trend to completely take off. Compared to this, hehe, the little business you want to do at sea is just small-scale stuff." You Yifan said bluntly, "I have certain connections and a stable supply of goods, and now I only lack a channel to connect to Sinaloa."

"The garrison?" Su Tianyu asked keenly.

"Yes, this is something that one group cannot do. Everyone makes money together!" You Yifan nodded.

Yu Mingyuan thought for a moment, then asked with some confusion, "...The upper echelons issued a control order, and we are specifically smuggling controlled materials. Isn't this going against the higher-ups?! If something happens, we'll lose our heads!"

"Haha." You Yifan grinned. "The control order is a district-level policy. Once the No. 1 document is issued, the entire district will close its borders to the Sinaloa region. What role can our private deals play? It has no impact on the overall situation at all. What's more... Dragon City is different from other places. Many leaders write policies with their right hand and hold money bags in their left hand. They are very down-to-earth."

The two were speechless upon hearing this.

"Contact the garrison. If they are willing to talk, we will sit down and chat." You Yifan said to Yu Mingyuan, "As for Wei Xiangzuo's matter, it's really nothing. Do you understand what I mean?"
