After dealing with Zheng Guangyao, Yang Jian immediately went to the Dongsheng construction site and informed Manager Fan about the subsequent template supply situation, also guaranteeing that his family's templates could be used for more than six floors.
Honest operation was the first business concept brought by Jiang Bin, and the Li Jian board material label was affixed to the templates, so the templates sent to every construction site could not be faked.
Manager Fan had already received instructions from Yu Feng to accept a batch of Yang Jian's templates first, put them into immediate use, and then use Li Jian templates comprehensively after verifying their quality.
After finishing the important matters, Liu Yong returned to Xinqiao with the transport vehicle, while Yang Jian went to the casino.
"Brother Jian, last month's accounts have been settled. I'll bring them to you for verification after class."
In the lounge, Biao Biao reported the casino's situation to Yang Jian.
"No need to verify, just tell me how much I can get for last month."
Yang Jian fully trusted Biao Biao's management of the accounts.
"Our total income last month was 4.2 million, and you can get 2.1 million. After deducting the 750,000 already withdrawn, you can still get 1.35 million."
"Okay, transfer it to my card these two days, I'll need it."
"Brother Jian, is the money not enough? We can not distribute our share, you can use it first. Anyway, this month's income will be higher. How about I transfer two million to you directly?"
"No, this amount is almost enough. September 1st is coming soon, and this month's money needs to be reserved for paying migrant workers."
"Alright, anyway, our money is all here, you can use it anytime."
Biao Biao was now full of confidence. He, Liangliang, and Sanpang were supposed to get 800,000 last month, which was enough to buy houses and cars in Chengguan.
"Well, I won't be polite if I need money. How is the place, any unexpected incidents?"
"No, it's just that the patrol officers in charge of this area from the police station come over once a week. Brother Feng pays them two thousand yuan each time and sends them away without entering the casino.
Brother Jin said that these small beat cops are more troublesome than higher-ups, and it's best not to offend them. Their demands are not high; giving them two packs of cigarettes each time is enough. Brother Feng, however, thinks giving money is more appropriate, so he gives two thousand yuan each time."
"Ah Feng is doing the right thing. This way, the casino will be safer."
"By the way, Brother Jian, there's something else I didn't tell you on the phone. Brother Hao has also come to open a casino, right in that iron shed by the railway."
Yang Jian was greatly surprised: "Brother Hao is also opening a casino? Why didn't Jianmin tell me? Who are they cooperating with?"
"Brother Jianmin came over once, but since he didn't see you, he didn't say anything. Brother Hao is cooperating with Xiong Er."
"Brother Hao is actually cooperating with Xiong Er? How did they meet? Does Li Jin know about this?"
"I don't know how they met, but Brother Hao knew many people when he opened casinos here before, so it's not difficult to connect with Xiong Er. Regarding Brother Hao opening a casino, Brother Jin said he would wait for your decision. If you are not convenient to show up, he can arrange for people to charge Brother Hao's place anytime."
Yang Jian frowned: "Does Brother Hao's place affect us?"
"Not much. His is a black money casino, mainly for migrant workers from construction sites. Although there are many people, it's not the same class as our casino."
"Since the impact is not significant, then forget it. Let them continue to operate for Jianmin's sake."
One mountain cannot accommodate two tigers. There can only be one casino in the Seventh Brigade area. This was a rule jointly set by Yang Jian and Li Jin. Whoever opened a second casino was opposing them and would inevitably face their strictest crackdown.
However, Brother Hao's actions were a bit excessive. Knowing that Xiong Er was at odds with Li Jin and had had fierce conflicts with Yang Jian, he still chose to cooperate with Xiong Er to open a casino in the Seventh Brigade area, which was clearly playing against Yang Jian.
"Brother Jian, I think Brother Hao is just counting on you not to make a move against him, so he's so brazenly opening a place nearby. Strictly speaking, it's slapping your face. The police and people in the underworld are all watching your attitude. How about you talk to Brother Hao and ask him to withdraw voluntarily?"
Biao Biao was also a brother to Song Jianhao before, so he naturally didn't want to confront him. However, Song Jianhao was infringing on their interests, which was somewhat unbearable.
Yang Jian sneered: "I talk to him? How is that possible? Not making a move against him is already giving him face. My sister is about to have surgery, and I don't want any trouble during this period. If he continues to operate a black money casino, then don't blame me for being ruthless."
"Alright, I'll convey your meaning to Brother Jianmin when I have time. I hope Brother Hao behaves himself."
As they were chatting, Wu Wangchun suddenly walked over.
Yang Jian quickly handed him a cigarette: "Uncle Wang, how has your luck been recently? How much have you won since the casino opened?"
"I've been a bit unlucky recently, losing several rounds in a row. But overall, I've still won over a million."
"That's good, as long as you're winning. If you lose money, I'll feel bad."
"What's there to feel bad about? Who can guarantee they won't lose in gambling? Even if I lose, I won't blame you. Little Yang, I have two things to tell you today."
"Uncle Wang, you're so serious. Is there something important?"
"It's not very important. The first thing is that I plan to go back and continue opening casinos. I won't be the dealer here anymore. I've already spoken to Ah Feng. Today is the last shift as the dealer, and then I'll go back tonight."
Yang Jian was stunned: "So urgent? How about we go back together tomorrow? I'll treat you to a meal tonight."
"No need. We father and son don't need to be so formal. There will be plenty of opportunities for meals. We're rushing back because Wu Zhi had a conflict with Xu Zheng."
"Xu Zheng? What's wrong with him?"
"This kid is getting more and more arrogant. Not only is he opening casinos and poaching our old customers, but he's also extending his reach to our territory and wants to contract the village road in our village. Wu Zhi couldn't handle it alone at home, so we have to rush back immediately."
"Is that so? Xu Zheng also wants to get involved in our village's road construction. He even chopped Li Xiang this morning. Where does he get the nerve to make enemies everywhere?"
"The reason he's so arrogant is that his uncle has made a comeback. Not only was no problem found, but he was also promoted to the head of the Legal Affairs Section."
Yang family suddenly realized: "No wonder he's so overbearing, he has backing."
"Exactly. The head of the Legal Affairs Section has great power and is a person of real influence. In some cases, he's even more formidable than the deputy director. However, Xu Zheng can't possibly suppress me. On my territory, no one can snatch away the project. By the way, he chopped Li Xiang, are you just going to stand by and watch him contract the road in your territory?"
Yang Jian smiled: "Uncle Wang, I'm not the boss, and I don't have any territory. However, I've already signed the contract for our village's road. I'm here to collect the money today, and I'll prepare for construction when I go back tomorrow."
"That's more like it. Although you don't admit to being involved in the underworld, people in the underworld consider Xinqiao your sphere of influence. Even if you don't want to get involved in Xinqiao's affairs, Yang Li Village is your bottom line. If outsiders snatch away the project, it would be a pure slap in your face."
Wu Wangchun said this with a hint of provocation. Given Xu Zheng's current behavior, he would definitely not let Yang Jian proceed smoothly with the construction. By then, without him having to act, Yang Jian would deal with Xu Zheng.
