Chapter 644: Xu Taiping’s Ambition (6 Updates)
644
"This is stir-fried duck gizzards. It's a good thing to go with wine. I'm giving it to you." The boss walked to Xu Taiping's table with a bowl of steaming vegetables and placed the dishes on the table.
"Thank you!" Xu Taiping smiled.
The boss smiled, turned and left without saying anything.
"You fished me out this time for arms smuggling, right?" Old Wolf asked after taking a bite of duck gizzards.
Xu Taiping was stunned for a moment and said, "How do you know this?"
"Xia Jiang smuggles arms. I thought he was doing it very secretly. However, the entire external smuggling business in Jiangyuan City is under my supervision. He has set up several shell companies. Even if he disguises himself very well, don't even think about it. You lied to me, but I never said it, because this business involves too many areas and involves too many people." Lao Lang said.
"You are really the smartest one under Xia Jiang!" Xu Taiping couldn't help but admire.
"If you want to do the arms smuggling business, I advise you not to do it." Old Wolf said.
"Why?" Xu Taiping asked.
"As I said before, the scope of involvement is too wide, and every step is startling. One careless step can result in being shattered to pieces. This is beyond the limit of what a gangster brother can do. Xia Jiang's ambition is to be defeated by the business of smuggling arms. He thinks he has connected with the upper class people, but in fact, in my opinion, he is just a dispensable soldier in their hands," said Lao Lang.
"This business is not what I want to do, but they found me." Xu Taiping said.
"You can refuse." Old Wolf said.
"I want Taiya Group to become an existence like the Blood Soul Hall." Xu Taiping said.
"Why?" Old Wolf frowned and asked.
"Because this is my father-in-law's biggest wish in his life. Xia Jinxuan and I are together. Xia Jiang is my father-in-law no matter what. He was driven to death by his ambition, so I can only inherit his ambition." Xu Taiping said.
"Do you also want to be driven to death by ambition?" Old Wolf asked.
"Xia Jiang's ability is not enough, so for him, it is out of reach for Taiya Group to become an existence like Blood Soul Hall, so he was killed by ambition in the end, and for me, let Taiya Group It is not difficult for the group to become an existence like the Blood Soul Hall, at least in my opinion." Xu Taiping said.
"It's not difficult? Since the Blood Soul Hall was disbanded a hundred years ago, how many outstanding people and heroes have appeared on the land of China? Can any one person be able to build another Blood Soul Hall? No, why do you say that this matter is not the same? Isn’t it difficult?” Old Wolf asked.
"I am Xu Taiping." Xu Taiping said calmly.
"You are Xu Taiping?" Old Lang frowned and looked at Xu Taiping. He found that Xu Taiping's face did not have any morbid brilliance.
The so-called morbid brilliance, Lao Lang has seen Xia Jiang many times before. Whenever Xia Jiang conceives his grand blueprint for the future, his face will have this morbid brilliance. This brilliance contains desire, persistence, and ambition. And murderous intent, but Xu Taiping in front of him didn't have any at all. He was calm, calm, and even gave people a somewhat lazy feeling.
The old wolf thought of what Xu Taiping said before, so the old wolf suddenly believed what Xu Taiping said, because the Xu Taiping in front of him was really not Xia Jiang. He had a personal charm that far exceeded Xia Jiang. He was not Devoured by ambition, he easily controlled his ambition and used the correct method to realize his ambition bit by bit.
The most terrifying thing about people is not ambition, but ambition blinding their minds and allowing ambition to completely occupy their lives. For Xu Taiping, Lao Lang had a feeling that he would build Taiya Group into a new Blood Soul Hall. For Xu Taiping, it was just an interesting but inconsequential thing.
"Introduce someone to you." Xu Taiping said, picked up the phone and called Eric.
Not long after, Eric appeared at Xu Taiping's dining table with a bandage on his head.
"Old Lang, this is Eric, Xia Jiang's main arms dealer in the European market." After Xu Taiping said to Lao Lang, he looked at Eric and said, "This is Lao Lang, he was responsible for Xia Jiang's smuggling business before. "
"Hello!" Old Wolf shook hands with Eric, and then asked, "What happened to Mr. Ai's head?"
"Something happened!" Eric shook his head and then said, "You guys started drinking in the afternoon?"
"You're injured, why don't you drink?" Xu Taiping asked.
"Drink, how can we talk about this without wine? Moreover, it is a very old Moutai, so I have to drink it!" Eric said seriously.
"Then pour it on!" Xu Taiping said.
Zhou Xiaoyu quickly poured a glass of wine for Eric. Eric picked up the wine glass, touched it with Xu Taiping and drank the wine in one sip.
"I just like people who get bored after drinking." Xu Taiping said with a smile.
"It's dull and deeply emotional." Eric said.
"You seem to know quite a lot about Chinese proverbs," Xu Taiping said.
"I am also Chinese, but I left the country early and then took a foreign wife." Eric said.
"You can talk more, and you will have a lot of cooperation in the future." Xu Taiping said.
"I haven't promised you to help you do this yet." Old Wolf said.
"Your eyes have betrayed you, I know you will agree." Xu Taiping smiled.
The old wolf touched his eyes and asked, "Did you see it?"
"People's eyes are the most honest. It's like it's written in your eyes right now that I will work hard for Xu Taiping. I can already see it." Xu Taiping said confidently.
"Try to get some eggs." The old wolf shook his head and said, "I can indeed help you with things, but it doesn't matter if I have to sacrifice my life. You know, I won't sacrifice my life for anyone."
"That's enough. Let's make money together. This is the most basic thing. But now let's drink and eat first. We can talk about business matters after we go to the nightclub in the evening. Today, when the old wolf comes out, he has to cleanse himself from the dust!" Xu Taiping smiled.
"Really? Then you really need to take a good break!" Eric said.
The three of them sat outside this small shop from noon to evening. When the sun was going down, there were already many people eating dinner in front of the shop.
"Xiaoyu, go pay the bill." Xu Taiping said.
Zhou Xiaoyu nodded, walked to the store, and asked the boss, "Boss, how much does that table outside cost?"
"No, I'll treat you today." The boss smiled.
Zhou Xiaoyu was stunned for a moment and asked, "No money?"
"Well, the glass of wine you bought me is worth the price of the food on the table! So I bought this meal today," the boss said.
"Thank you, boss!" Zhou Xiaoyu smiled, turned and walked out of the store, and then told Xu Taiping about the matter.
Xu Taiping stood up and shouted to his boss, "Thanks, boss, we will have a good drink when we get the chance."
"Okay!" The boss held the big iron pot and nodded to Xu Taiping.
"Drink, drink, drink whatever you want, don't look at your body now, can you drink?!" A tough middle-aged woman grabbed the boss's ear and said.
"No, no, no, please use less strength, it hurts, it hurts! I won't drink anymore, I won't drink anymore." The boss quickly begged for mercy.
The sun sets over the long river, and the crows dim in the old trees.
Xu Taiping looked at this pyrotechnic scene with a smile, then turned around and walked out with the old wolf Eric.
They had just walked two steps when suddenly a pickup truck carrying city law enforcement officers stopped in front of Xu Taiping and the others. Then, a group of urban management officers got out of the truck and walked toward the small fry shop.
Xu Taiping stopped and looked back, only to see the group of urban management officers passing through the tables and chairs outside the store and arriving at the entrance.
"Brother Li, it's time to get off work. Do you want to eat?" the boss asked one of the urban management officials with a smile.
The man named Brother Li frowned and said, "Old Lin, someone reported you for occupying land and operating here. We have known each other for a long time. For those guests outside, please let them go. We have to take away those tables and chairs. "
"Didn't this civilized city just pass the inspection?" the boss asked doubtfully.
"You can't occupy the road just after the festival!" Brother Li said with a dark face.
"But haven't I been like this for so many years? I pay a lot of management fees and cleaning fees every month. There are no roads or fire escapes outside, it's just an open space!" the boss said.
"It's been like this for so many years. Why can't it be like this this time? Don't you have any idea in your mind? Hurry up. For the sake of old acquaintance, I'll give you face. You tell the guests outside to leave quickly. I'll take the tables and chairs They all have to be taken away," Brother Li said.
"Is someone trying to mess with me?" the boss asked in a low voice.
Brother Li nodded slightly, but didn't say much.
"Is it the guy who drove the Ferrari last time?!" the boss asked. The person he wanted to offend recently was the guy who drove the Ferrari. The guy wanted to jump in line because he had money, but he was beaten by him. But then It was already more than a month ago, so the boss was a little confused. How could a normal person wait so long if he wanted to take revenge.
"Don't worry about driving a Ferrari. Hurry up and don't make it difficult for me." Brother Li said.
"I understand!" The boss nodded. The last thing anyone doing business these days can't offend is the urban management. Now everyone is talking about this, and the boss is not a knife-edge guy. Naturally, he has to nod his head and give in, and then follow My mother-in-law went out to apologize to others.
It didn't take long for all the customers sitting outside the store to leave, because the boss asked them to leave. Some of the customers' bills had already been served, so naturally it was impossible to ask someone to settle the bill.
When everyone was almost gone, a few urban management officials collected the boss's desks and chairs and loaded them all onto the pickup truck.
"Old Lin, let me tell you something that violates discipline. You have offended someone, and you are a great person. There will be health inspections and fire inspections after we leave. You can handle it yourself. I advise you to Close the door, there's no point in changing places, people are thinking about you, and if you change places, they'll do the same thing to you." Brother Li said, patted the boss on the shoulder, then turned and left.
The boss was dumbfounded. The small fry shop he had been doing for decades was gone, and he could not open another shop in the future. This meant that he would not have any source of livelihood in the future. Wouldn't this cost him his life?
