Chapter 531 Who Threatens Whom?
"The three members who originally decided to attend the negotiation have all changed their minds... and won't come." Tang Mingde said in a deep voice with an extremely ugly face.
Originally, there were only five people left to participate. Now the other three changed their minds and stood up. Then, the people who participated in the negotiation were only him and Ji Rumei, two members of the Chamber of Commerce.
"How could they do this? We represent the interests of all the merchants in Jiangnan!" Ji Rumei said with anger and pale face.
"Mr. Tang, should we also..." the assistant following behind asked hesitantly.
"We will never run away!" Tang Mingde refused coldly, "I don't believe that the Huaibei Chamber of Commerce can really cover the sky with one hand!"
In addition to anger, Ji Rumei's eyes also showed determination.
With Fang Yu standing beside her, she had no fear in her heart.
"Go in." Tang Mingde took a deep breath and took the lead to step into the building.
According to previous negotiations, all the participants of the Huaibei Chamber of Commerce should stand at the door to welcome the arrival of the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce.
But this time, there was only one assistant standing here to receive them.
The attitude of the Huaibei Chamber of Commerce was already very clear.
Tang Mingde and Ji Rumei were full of anger, but they didn't say anything, but followed the assistant upstairs.
The negotiation will be held in the conference room on the 78th floor.
"Mr. Tang, Miss Ji, the conference room is in front, please come in." The assistant bowed slightly and gestured.
Tang Mingde and Ji Rumei, with two assistants and Fang Yu, a total of five people, walked into the conference room.
As soon as they entered the conference room, they could see fifteen people sitting opposite the conference table.
These people are the representatives of the Huaibei Chamber of Commerce.
Seeing Tang Mingde, Ji Rumei and others walk in, the group of people showed a playful look on their faces.
"Mr. Tang, where are the other people in your chamber of commerce?" Someone asked.
Tang Mingde glanced at him and didn't answer, but walked to the conference table and sat down in the middle.
Ji Rumei sat next to him.
On the Huaibei Chamber of Commerce side, many men stared at Ji Rumei closely, their eyes unscrupulous.
Ji Rumei looked unhappy and frowned.
"Director Tang, are you kidding me?"
At this time, the man sitting in the middle position opposite spoke.
He is a handsome middle-aged man in his forties.
His eyes are sharp and his aura is strong. He has obviously been in a high position for a long time.
"Chairman Gu Rong, what are we kidding?" Tang Mingde asked with a gloomy face.
"There are only two of us attending the negotiation meeting, isn't it a joke?" Gu Rong narrowed his eyes slightly and said.
"That's right, everyone on our side is here, and there are only two of us. This is disrespectful to our Huaibei Chamber of Commerce!" The member sitting next to him echoed.
Tang Mingde's face was extremely ugly, his brows were furrowed, and he suppressed his anger and said: "The reason why we are so few, we know better than anyone else."
Gu Rong's face sank and said: "Director Tang, I don't understand what you mean. I know that something happened to Chairman Dong, and I am also very sad about this matter, because I have a good personal relationship with Chairman Dong... But this sentence seems to blame us a little bit?"
Tang Mingde took a deep breath.
He knew that there was no point in discussing this matter at the moment.
We must calm down so that the negotiation can proceed.
"The negotiation can begin." Tang Mingde looked at the assistant beside him, who took out a stack of documents from his briefcase. These were the documents that Chairman Dong had sorted out before and were going to use in today's negotiation.
"Wait." Gu Rong stretched out his hand and motioned Tang Mingde to stop.
Tang Mingde looked at Gu Rong.
"There are only two people from our Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce, so this negotiation cannot proceed at all!" Gu Rong said coldly.
"Cannot proceed? We..." Tang Mingde's face changed and he wanted to speak.
"How can we, the two of us, represent the entire Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce? This negotiation is of great importance, and I don't want any mistakes to happen." Gu Rong said.
"The content of our negotiation has all been agreed upon by the members of the Chamber of Commerce, and it can fully represent their intentions!" Tang Mingde said.
"Then why don't they come to participate in the negotiation? Isn't it obvious that they don't agree!" A member of the Huaibei Chamber of Commerce interrupted.
"They don't come to participate because..." At this point, Tang Mingde stopped.
Although he knew that the Huaibei Chamber of Commerce must have sent someone to do that, if he said it without evidence, it would only be blamed and would not have any effect.
"Why?" Gu Rong asked.
Seeing the other party's unscrupulous appearance, Tang Mingde's anger was about to explode.
Ji Rumei was so angry that her face turned pale, but she couldn't say anything.
"Let's do this. We can continue the negotiations. But the content of the agreement must be exactly the same as the last session, because that agreement can at least represent the opinions of all members of our chamber of commerce five years ago." Gu Rong smiled.
Hearing this proposal, Tang Mingde's anger could no longer be suppressed.
With the current strength of the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce, how could it be willing to take only 30% of the benefits! ?
"President Gu, this is unreasonable!" Tang Mingde said angrily.
"It's unreasonable!" Gu Rong's face suddenly turned cold, and he slammed the table, stood up, looked directly at Tang Mingde, and said coldly, "There is nothing wrong with my proposal. If you don't agree, you can just leave and cancel the negotiation meeting and hold it again next year. And during this year, everything will be divided according to the last agreement."
"If you agree, then we will sign another five-year agreement like the last one."
"The two choices are actually the same, choose whatever you want."
"I won't choose either one!" Tang Mingde looked straight at Gu Rong and said firmly.
Gu Rong stared at Tang Mingde with cold and sharp eyes, and suddenly showed a cold smile and said: "Mr. Tang, I heard that Chairman Dong's family died tragically at home, and the death was miserable. Is this true?"
"Are you threatening me?" Tang Mingde asked back with a twitch of his face.
"Threat? Not really, I never threaten anyone." Gu Rong sat back in his seat and pulled the tie in front of his neck.
At this time, a figure walked into the meeting room.
This person wore a hat on his head and sunglasses on his face.
It was Longquan, whom he had met before!
Seeing this person, Tang Mingde's face suddenly changed.
He didn't expect that Gu Rong dared to call this person to the meeting room openly!
"Mr. Longquan is a friend of mine, he just went to my house for tea a few days ago." Gu Rong said.
"Yes, but there was a little accident during the tea drinking process." Longquan took over the words and looked at Tang Mingde. Even through the sunglasses, he could see the murderous intent in his eyes.
Hearing the threat in Longquan's words, Tang Mingde's anger burned to the extreme.
"Longquan, I treat you as a friend, but you want to harm my whole family!" Tang Mingde could no longer tolerate it. He stood up suddenly and pointed at Longquan angrily.
"Mr. Tang, I think you still don't understand the situation." Longquan said slowly.
While speaking, his right hand reached into his pocket, as if he wanted to take something out.
But at this moment.
"Bang!"
With a muffled sound, Longquan's whole body was like being sucked by something, and was pulled from the opposite side of the conference table to Tang Mingde's side.
Fang Yu, who had not spoken since entering the conference room, grabbed Longquan's neck with one hand and lifted him in the air.
Longquan struggled desperately, and the sunglasses on his face were thrown off, revealing his original face.
The eyelids under both of his eyes were all black, which looked very strange.
"What are you doing!?"
Gu Rong and other members of the Huaibei Chamber of Commerce reacted and slammed the table.
Especially Gu Rong, his face was livid.
"Mr. Tang, how dare you let your men do it!? Do you know where this place is!? Do you know the consequences of doing so!" Gu Rong stared at Tang Mingde and asked coldly.
"How to deal with this man?" Fang Yu turned his head and looked at Tang Mingde and asked.
Tang Mingde looked at Longquan, whose face turned purple and fluttered like a dying duck, with a complicated expression.
On the one hand, he was full of hatred and anger towards Longquan, but on the other hand, if he killed someone here, the consequences would be unimaginable.
This is Nandu, the territory of the Huaibei Chamber of Commerce.
With Gu Rong's power in Huaibei, he must pay a huge price for killing his people.
"Doctor Fang, or..." Tang Mingde was about to speak, but four bodyguards rushed in from outside the door, took out their pistols and pointed them at Fang Yu.
