Chapter 194: Combining vertical and horizontal lines
Ten o'clock in the evening.
In a barbecue restaurant facing the street.
Ji Bu sat in front of a simple folding table, smoothed the cuffs of his shirt, and waved to Ni Yongxiao, who got out of the car parked next to the roadside:
"Ni Sheng, this way."
"call"
Ni Yongxiao took a deep breath, pulled out the stool opposite and sat down, turned sideways, and raised his hands to unbutton the two top buttons of his shirt:
"Long wait, Ji Sheng."
Ji Bu was wearing a casual shirt with wide light gray stripes. Compared with Ni Yongxiao's white shirt, it was less formal and more casual.
"I just arrived not long ago."
Ji Bu took the small pot on the shelf in front of him, unscrewed the rice wine on the side and poured it in with a "gurgling" sound.
Then he picked up the shredded ginger on the plate and put it in. He lit the candle on the small stove with a lighter and put the small pot on it.
"oh?"
Ni Yongxiao looked at Ji Bu's operation: "What kind of drinking method is this?"
"Make rice wine with shredded ginger. Now the weather is getting colder at night. Drink something hot to warm up your body."
Ji Bu took out a cigarette, shook the cigarette case, gave one to Ni Yongxiao, and glanced at Xiaozhuang standing behind him:
"I wonder how Ni Sheng is handling the family affairs recently?"
"It wasn't settled before."
Ni Yongxiao unbuttoned the cuffs of his shirt, rolled up the cuffs, held a cigarette in his mouth and said:
"But after tonight, it's basically settled."
What he was talking about was of course Han Chen's matter, and he had already understood what happened tonight.
Ni Yongxiao looked at Ji Bu with a half-smile but not a smile: "I still have to thank you for helping me solve a problem."
"It's a small matter. Besides, Han Chen was sent to be beaten to death. It has nothing to do with us."
Ji Bu waved his hand, bared his teeth and said with a smile: "Of course, Ni Sheng forced me to thank you, so naturally I wouldn't be polite and accepted it happily."
"Hahaha"
Ni Yongxiao raised his head and laughed, took a sip from his cigarette, and then pushed up the glasses on the bridge of his nose:
"Han Chen's problem has been solved, let's talk about things between us."
He leaned forward: "According to our earlier agreement, half of the communications company's shares have been given to you. This agreement has been completed."
"Then it's Han Chen's territory. Han Chen is dead. Likewise, according to our agreement, his territory will belong to you from now on. You can find someone to take over these territories now."
He naturally knew that Ji Bu didn't really want to drink with him when he asked him out for a late night snack.
Han Chen had already solved the problem, and Ji Bu naturally talked to him about the previous agreement between the two, so he was very proactive.
"Um."
Ji Bu nodded with satisfaction: "Ni Sheng is still as straightforward and straightforward as ever, which I like very much."
He bared his teeth and smiled, picked up his chopsticks and paused on the table, then picked up a peanut and stuffed it into his mouth, making a crisp "crack" sound:
"Han Chen's matter has been resolved. I wonder how Ni Sheng will deal with the two remaining talkative people in your family?"
Guohua had been dealt with by Gandhi a long time ago, and with the death of Han Chen, the Ni family now only had two talkers, Gandhi and Wen Zheng.
"how?"
Ni Yongxiao narrowed his eyes when he heard this and looked at Ji Bu with a smile: "Is it possible that Ji Sheng has a good relationship with the two of them?"
"No."
Ji Bu waved his hand: "Don't get me wrong, I'm not familiar with them at all."
"That's good."
Ni Yongxiao laughed, turned around and glanced at Xiaozhuang standing behind him: "Xiaozhuang, how are things going?"
"It should be almost done."
Xiaozhuang shook the hair that fell in front of his forehead: "After tonight, everyone in the Ni family will listen to your instructions. You have your say."
Tonight.
When Ni Yongxiao learned that Han Chen had rushed to the street, he immediately arranged for Xiaozhuang to go down to do things.
Whether it was Gandhi or Wen Zheng, there was only one fate for these two people:
Hit the streets.
Ni Yongxiao would never allow anyone with rebellious intentions to stay in the Ni family and take charge of the Ni family's territory.
"very good."
Ni Yongxiao nodded with satisfaction, then spread his hands towards Ji Bu: "Ji Sheng heard it and has already solved it."
When he said this, his meaning was also very obvious. He told Ji Bu straightforwardly: Between the two of us, I have fulfilled my promise.
Just as Han Chen's territory is assigned to you, it's not your turn to worry about the rest of the Ni family's affairs.
"hehe."
Ji Bu raised his hand and gave a thumbs up, bared his teeth and praised: "Ni Sheng is still very fast. This has nothing to do with me. You don't need to tell me."
He raised his hand to pick up the wine pot on the small stove, took two cups and filled them with rice wine one after another.
The rice wine flows out from the spout of the wine pot, emitting a faint heat, and a rich aroma of rice wine also spreads with the heat.
"Try?"
Ji Bu pushed the wine glass over: "Ni Sheng probably hasn't drunk it."
"Don't mention it, I've never drank it."
Ni Yongxiao brought the white porcelain cup, first put it under his nose and smelled it, then took a sip:
"Huh? Not to mention, it tastes good. The taste of rice wine is mixed with the taste of ginger. It's quite hot after one sip."
He smacked his lips, took another sip, put down the porcelain cup, and looked at the dancing flames of the candles in the small stove:
"Not to mention, the flame of this small candle is quite powerful."
"certainly."
Ji Bu picked up the porcelain cup and drank half of it in one gulp. He held the porcelain cup with his fingers and turned it around in his palm:
"A single spark can start a prairie fire. This saying is not unreasonable."
"hehe."
Both of them had something to say, chatting about each other, having a drink from time to time, and drinking freely.
"Ni Sheng."
Ji Bu picked up the jug and poured it for Ni Yongxiao again: "Tonight, Han Chen's matter has been resolved, but when I think about the things behind it, I still feel that it is not thorough enough."
"Not thorough enough?"
Ni Yongxiao had obviously thought about it for a long time, and habitually pushed up the glasses on the bridge of his nose:
"You mean the person behind Han Chen?!"
"Yes."
Ji Bu nodded, convinced: "I think you can see that Han Chen died not only because Brother Kun wanted him to die, but Han Chen's boss also wanted Han Chen to die."
"Due to many factors, Han Chen could not escape the scheme. To a certain extent, Brother Kun helped Han Chen's boss solve Han Chen's trouble tonight."
"Although he is dead, what was Han Chen's original purpose? To help his boss seize the Ni family's shares in this communications company."
He put down the porcelain cup in his hand, picked up a cigarette and lit it, took a sip and exhaled a puff of slowly spreading blue-green smoke:
"Now that the shares of the communications company are equally divided between the two of us, do you think Han Chen's boss will continue?"
"He probably won't give up."
Ni Yongxiao smiled, waved his hand, and analyzed: "He did not hesitate to put Han Chen in the game to help him for the shares of the communication company."
"If we don't get it, we probably won't let it go."
He raised his hand to take off his glasses and put them on the table, pinched his eyebrows and smiled: "Then we two will go our separate ways and have a good future."
There was a pause.
He put on his glasses again and leaned forward to look at Ji Bu: "Of course, if Ji Sheng finds it troublesome, he can transfer the shares of the communication company back to me, and I will buy them back at a price 10% higher than the market price.
.”
The implication.
The two of us have stopped here. Don't try to make any more attempts on me. I will definitely not give up the communications company to you again.
The two looked at each other.
It took a while.
"Hahaha"
They both laughed again at the same time.
When Ji Bu picked up the jug and was about to pour wine again, he found that the jug was empty. He waved, and Wuying brought another bottle of rice wine and poured it in to help them heat it up.
"Through Han Chen's incident, I can tell that the boss behind Han Chen is definitely a big deal."
Ji Bu's fingers holding the cigarette shook and the ashes fell: "I think we should unite."
Speaking of which.
He leaned forward and looked at Ni Yongxiao with a keen eye: "I wonder if Ni Sheng is interested in further strengthening cooperation?!"
"Oh? In-depth cooperation?"
Ni Yongxiao narrowed his eyes, picked up the porcelain cup and took a sip of rice wine, but did not refuse directly:
"What good ideas does Ji Sheng have?!"
"It depends on how Ni Sheng plans to develop in the future."
Ji Bu tapped his fingers on the table rhythmically and talked eloquently: "According to what you said, there will no longer be a talker in the Ni family. Without a talker, how will Ni Sheng plan to take care of these territories?"
?”
"Do things right? Or continue the current pattern?!"
Ni Yongxiao listened to Ji Bu's words and did not reply, knowing that he still had something to say.
"If we are doing something upright, then we can continue to cooperate."
Ji Bu had already had his own ideas and was talking eloquently: "Although the Ni family is now running the community's business, they still had a lot of connections in the past, right?"
He didn't mince words and said straightforwardly: "To put it simply, you let me do business on your territory."
"hiss"
Ni Yongxiao's eyes narrowed when he heard this, and there was a hint of sharpness in his eyes.
"You know, the new world is my right path."
Ji Bu looked at the change in Ni Yongxiao's eyes and didn't care. He continued talking:
"There is so much territory under the Ni family. Without someone to talk to, it will be very troublesome for you to take care of it yourself. Furthermore, no matter how you run the community business, it will not be visible to the public. If it gets bigger, you will not be able to see the public."
"But Zhengxing is different, right?"
"How does Ji Sheng want to cooperate?!"
Ni Yongxiao was not in a hurry to refuse: "I would like to hear your thoughts."
"It's just right that the Ni family has so much territory. We should take advantage of the fact that there is no one to talk about it, so we can all stop and transform."
"You let my New World settle in, use the New World's brand name, and copy all the current businesses in the New World to your territory."
"As for the distribution of benefits, just like the costs, we each hold half, how about it?"
Speaking of which.
Ji Bu didn't wait for his answer and glanced at Wuying, who then handed over a folder and placed it in front of Ni Yongxiao:
"Ni Sheng should also understand New World's business model, and you should be able to tell whether it makes money or not."
"hehe."
Ni Yongxiao smiled and said nothing, picked up the document in front of him, spread it out on the table, and read ten lines at a glance.
"Ni Sheng is an accountant, so he is definitely better at calculating things carefully than I am."
Ji Bu's eyes were bright and he continued: "You must understand better than me whether New World makes money or not."
"I wonder if Ni Sheng is interested in my proposal for in-depth cooperation?"
"Well, New World definitely makes money."
Ni Yongxiao withdrew his gaze from the report and patted the document gently with his palm:
"But I know a saying, it is easier to ask God than to send him away."
"You said you would do business in our Ni family's territory, so I opened the door and let you in."
"How am I going to ask you out in the future?! I asked you to leave but you didn't, so what should I do?"
"Do you think this is true, Ji Sheng?"
He put the document aside casually, took a puff of his cigarette, and looked at Ji Bu with a smile.
"No, you misunderstood me."
Ji Bu smiled and shook his head, saying with a disapproving expression:
"You have forgotten that New World is doing everything right. There is no situation where you will let me go. We each invest half of it, so our interests are split."
"Although I entered the Ni family's territory to make more money, if you do it with me, your Ni family will not only make the same money, but the Ni family's reputation will also change in the future."
"The most important thing is that the Ni family will be on the right track from now on!"
"Going!"
Ji Bu repeated the word emphatically and tapped his finger vigorously on the table:
"This is a new level. This is also a new level for you after inheriting the position of your father Ni Kun."
"Tell me, is this true?"
"..."
Ni Yongxiao fell silent after hearing this.
"New World's operating model has already been developed, so you don't need to put much thought into it. You can just copy it."
Ji Bu's tone became playful: "Look at the people in your family, are they members of the society? Business is more suitable for them, isn't it?"
"In addition, we are all facing a new problem: Han Chen's boss."
"He has spent so much effort on the communication company. Will he just give up? Only if we are completely united can we be relatively safe and stay together for warmth?!"
"call"
Ni Yongxiao took a deep breath and exhaled a thin stream of smoke.
"Come!"
Ji Bu raised his hand to pick up the wine pot and poured it into the porcelain cup: "The wine is warm and ready to drink."
"drink!"
Ni Yongxiao took two puffs of the cigarette quickly, put out the cigarette butt, raised his hand and drank from the porcelain cup.
Ji Bu's words spoke to his heart.
The few talkers under the Ni family have now finished cleaning up. It is really a problem for him to have such a big plate and he doesn't have the manpower.
Secondly.
Han Chen, the boss behind the scenes, will definitely not give up.
Most importantly, the word "righteousness" really touched his heart.
perhaps.
Just like what Ji Bu said, this will be the biggest difference between him and his father.
A height that my father has never reached.
"cheers!"
Ni Yongxiao filled up his glass of wine again: "Then try it?!"
