Chapter 57 The Gate of Interests

Su Tianyu looked up at the young man at the door, grinning, "Long time no see, Brother Kong!"

The person who came was none other than Kong Zhenghui, nicknamed "Old Cannon." He nodded at Su Tianyu. "Life's treating you well, Brother Tianyu."

"Not bad. Yuan-ge takes me out for feasts every day, singing and dancing every night."

"Keep up the good work. I've always thought you had potential, a natural for this kind of business." Kong Zhenghui patted Tianyu's shoulder with dry humor and bent down to sit on the sofa.

"You all know each other, so I won't introduce you." Yu Mingyuan smiled at Su Tianyu and said bluntly, "The Kong family has a share in this."

Su Tianyu nodded slowly. "If Brother Kong is interested, the deal must be good."

Yu Mingyuan was straightforward. He picked up a teacup from the tea set, arranged them in his order, and said, "Dirty business companies all have their own regional circles. For example, the Fuzhou Association in Changqing, the Shanghai Gang, the Chaozhou Association, and your Su family's Northeast Gang circle. These are all hidden wealth. If we can cooperate, we'll pave the sales channels at the beginning, and you'll expand new ones. If we can open up the distribution channels in our own circles, we can make money lying down."

Even if Yu Mingyuan didn't say it, Su Tianyu had already considered this. According to the other party's previous statement, the Su family was only acting as a porter for transportation and assisting in sales. This kind of team role was the lowest level, because any organization that dared to engage in shady business could do it. There was no technical barrier at all. So Yu Mingyuan could find the Su family must be for something else. It wasn't hard to guess.

The three sat together, drinking tea and chatting. After briefly discussing the outline of the deal, another young man walked in.

Su Tianyu had seen this person before. His name was Tang Baiqing. He was about thirty-two or three years old, thin, and handsome, but he always looked like he hadn't woken up, as if he wasn't feeling well.

Su Tianyu had a good memory. He remembered that Yu Mingyuan had introduced this person to him. He seemed to be from the Coast Guard, but his specific position wasn't mentioned at the time.

"Little Su, you've met Baiqing."

"Yes, hello, Brother Tang." Su Tianyu reached out to shake his hand.

"Hello." Tang Baiqing's face was very pale. He yawned, shook hands with Su Tianyu, and sat next to Yu Mingyuan.

"Baiqing works in the Coast Guard Anti-Smuggling Bureau." Yu Mingyuan said with a smile, "Our business can't do without his help."

Tang Baiqing leaned lazily on the sofa, his left foot on the coffee table, and replied with his hands in his pockets, "You, Young Master Yu, should be taking care of me, giving us small civil servants a chance to earn extra money."

"Mutual assistance, hehe!" Yu Mingyuan grinned and added softly, "Baiqing's father and my father have a good relationship too."

"So you're family friends." Su Tianyu understood everything when he heard this.

Why had Yu Mingyuan been taking him to various parties and dinners every day? Now that he thought about it, those weren't unintentional actions. Yu Mingyuan's purpose in doing this was twofold: to let Su Tianyu see his vast circle of friends, and to introduce him to people who were related to this business.

Thinking of this, Su Tianyu's impression of Yu Mingyuan improved a lot. He felt that this person was very organized and patient.

"Little Su, go back and discuss this matter with your second uncle. If you're interested in working together, we'll start." Yu Mingyuan sat and chatted with everyone for a while, then got to the point, "I can't guarantee anything else, but if this business runs smoothly for a few years, the Su family's foundation will definitely be different."

Su Tianyu said with a smile, "I'm just a loafer at home, and I'll definitely apply for a civil service position in the future. I can't get involved in this matter. It depends on my second uncle's opinion."

"Well, talk to him when you get back!"

"Okay." Su Tianyu nodded.

Tang Baiqing glanced at Su Tianyu and said weakly, "Little brother, why are you so determined to apply for a civil service position? A bureau chief only earns a few thousand a month. What's the point? You should listen to Mingyuan's advice and focus on illegal business. When you have money in the future, you can buy an official position directly."

"Hehe, yes." Su Tianyu didn't argue with him, just nodded in agreement.

...

After the group finished talking, Su Tianyu left alone and took a car back home.

At around five o'clock in the evening, a large group of the Su family was eating in the courtyard. Su Miaomiao immediately shouted when she saw Su Tianyu, "A very beautiful girl came to see you today."

"Ah?" Su Tianyu was dumbfounded.

"Dog Six, not bad. You've only been working for a few days, and you're already bringing women home?" Su Miaomiao teased with a smile, "You're just like your second brother."

"Who is it?" Su Tianyu was confused.

"It seems... it seems her name is Qiqi. I was busy at the time, so I didn't remember."

"Damn! I forgot." Su Tianyu then remembered that he hadn't fixed An Qiqi's car yet. "Forget it, I'll look for her in the next two days."

"How is it going recently, Six? Are you adapting to the company?" his elder brother asked.

"Eat first, and later, I, you, and Grandpa will have a private meeting." Su Tianyu picked up his rice bowl and started eating.

After dinner, Su Tianyu called his elder brother and second uncle to the side building of the main house and sat down to chat.

Su Zhengcai frowned slightly after listening to Dog Six's introduction. "Smuggling? Is this reliable?"

"The Kong family is already preparing to do it, and I've met Yu Mingyuan's main connections." Su Tianyu thought for a moment and replied, "Personally, I think the Yu family has the ability to do it."

"The last time with the guns left a bit of a shadow in my heart." Su Zhengcai may seem carefree on the outside, and his speech is also very rough, but in reality, he is a very meticulous person. "We're doing the porter's work, which means we have to pick up and deliver the goods ourselves! If something goes wrong, it won't be easy to settle."

Su Tianyu thought carefully for a moment. "Uncle, do you mean...!"

"If someone can test the waters first, that would be the best."

Su Tianyu paused for a moment and blurted out, "Can Bai Hongbo, the biggest intellectual in our Zha Nan District, test the waters?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the three bastards in the room all looked at each other.

"Yes!" Su Zhengcai slapped his thigh and said, "Six, it's not a waste for you to hang out with that idiot!"

"The Bai family has the capital to join the game. Behind them is the Chaozhou Association, which has natural sales potential! This time, Yu Mingyuan didn't call on them, probably because they haven't reacted yet and haven't properly paid their respects." Su Tianyu immediately stood up and said, "I have to be the good guy in this. I'll go talk to Da Bai!"

"Go quickly, or it'll be troublesome when that idiot reacts!" Su Tianbei, who had heard the conversation outside the door, immediately walked in and said sarcastically.

Half an hour later, in the Bai family's freight yard, Bai Hongbo looked at Su Tianyu sideways and asked, "Are you on such good terms with Yu Mingyuan?"

"A little, a little." Su Tianyu said in a low voice, "If you're willing to do it, I'll be the matchmaker and mention it to Yu Mingyuan!"

"I have a lot of friends at the pier. This business does make money. I want to do it, but I don't know... if my dad will agree!"

"Hurry home and ask. I'll wait for your answer, okay?!"

"Okay, I'll go home!"

After the two agreed, Bai Hongbo drove his large SUV back home.

...

Inside the Bai family's study, the old man Bai was reading a book and sitting in a chair, scolding, "Do you have the brain for smuggling? You want to do it?"

"I think it's an opportunity. Just now...!"

"Don't mess around. I'll be satisfied if you take care of the family's foundation."

"Dad, the Su family is going to do it, and the Kong family has also joined!"

"……!" The old man Bai suddenly raised his head when he heard this. "Is that old dog Su Zhengcai willing to do this?"

"Yes!"

"Then we have to do it!" The old man Bai replied with his hands behind his back, "He's already testing the waters. If we don't do it, are we idiots?!"

With one sentence, the family with the most cultural heritage in Zha Nan District also completely entered the game, and a bloody struggle was quietly approaching.

...

The Yu family.

Yu Mingyuan said softly into the phone, "We just talked, but I feel like it's almost settled. You can start preparing."
