Upon reaching the second floor, Fei walked to a wooden door, gently pushed it open, and walked in, with Song Yun following behind. "Boss." Fei called out as soon as he entered the room. Song Yun looked in the direction Fei was looking and saw a man sitting in a chair, disassembling a car model. The man appeared to be around forty years old, thin, but his features were quite delicate. Hearing Fei’s voice, the man looked up at Fei, then at Song Yun, and smiled, saying, "You must be Song Yun, right?" His voice was gentle and slow, making it hard to believe he was the ruthless leader of a criminal organization. This was Song Yun’s first meeting with Chen Yang, and he said with a smile, "Haha, you must be Boss Chen." "Just call me Chen Yang." Chen Yang said, "I still have a part to finish disassembling, if you don’t mind, could you wait for me a couple of minutes?" "No problem." Song Yun said with a smile, "Are these all your collection?" "Yes, you can take a look first, many of these are limited editions!" Chen Yang said. Song Yun nodded and turned his attention to the rows of cabinets filled with car models on the surrounding walls. These models, whether large or small, were all exceptionally exquisite and well-maintained. It was clear that Chen Yang was truly a car enthusiast. Song Yun and Qingluan didn’t stand on ceremony and began looking at each cabinet one by one. Before long, Chen Yang put down his tools and said to Song Yun, "Sorry to keep you waiting." "Haha, it’s nothing, I just didn’t expect Boss Chen to be such a car lover!" Song Yun said with a smile, "As for me, there’s nothing that can captivate me that much." Qingluan glanced at Song Yun with arched brows, and Song Yun smiled awkwardly, saying in a low voice, "Except for women." Chen Yang laughed and said, "Song Yun, I told you, don’t call me Boss Chen, sigh, what say you? How about you call me Brother Chen, and I call you Brother Song, what do you think?" "That works too, haha, though I feel like I’m the one getting the better deal here, Brother Chen." Song Yun said. "Oh? It seems like I’m getting the better deal, doesn’t it?" Chen Yang said with a smile. "To call the globally famous leader of a criminal organization ’brother’, isn’t that a benefit for me?" Song Yun asked. "And being able to have the chief heir of one of the world’s top families, the godfather of the Sunan circle, call me brother, doesn’t that benefit me more?" Chen Yang said. "Hahaha, you two are mutually benefiting. In modern terms, it’s called ’bro-ing out’!" Fei said with a laugh from the side. Song Yun and Chen Yang both laughed upon hearing this. "Alright, let’s officially get to know each other." Chen Yang walked up to Song Yun, extended his hand, and said, "Small Circle Group, Chen Yang." "Shura Alliance, Song Yun." Song Yun also extended his hand, shaking hands with Chen Yang. Chen Yang’s hand was somewhat rough, either from martial arts practice or from tinkering with cars all day. "Have a seat, Brother Song." Chen Yang gestured with a smile for Song Yun to sit down. Song Yun nodded and, along with Qingluan, took a seat on the sofa. Chen Yang looked at Qingluan and said, "This must be the Holy Daughter, Qingluan?" "Hello." Qingluan nodded with a smile at Chen Yang, who said, "It’s said the Holy Daughter follows Song Yun, and it seems to be true. Song Yun, you’re quite fortunate!" "Haha, I think so too." Song Yun said. "By the way, judging from earlier, you seem to know something about cars?" Chen Yang asked. "A little!" Song Yun said. "Haha, that’s great. We can chat about cars before anything else; I love talking about cars!" Chen Yang said, pulling a chair over and sitting next to Song Yun. The bosses behind two major organizations started chatting about cars, exchanging opinions on different models. Song Yun, being adept at racing, was naturally familiar with cars and had a delightful conversation with Chen Yang, which unknowingly lasted for half an hour. Fei stood to the side, feeling a little helpless. While his boss was a car enthusiast, he hadn’t expected Song Yun to be equally knowledgeable. The two chatted like old friends, and at this rate, who knows when they’d finally get around to business? Finally, when Fei coughed for the third time, Chen Yang seemed to remember the main purpose of his meeting with Song Yun this time and reluctantly said, "Well, Brother Song. We can talk about cars later. The purpose of your visit today, I’m sure you know, is about our alliance!" "Please go ahead, Brother Chen," Song Yun said with a smile. "Actually, both you and I know that this so-called alliance is not entirely trustworthy, wouldn’t you agree?" Chen Yang said with a smile. "That’s a given," Song Yun replied, "The so-called alliance is just a formality in words. Even if there are written agreements, between organizations like us, a denial can happen in the blink of an eye, and it holds no binding power." Get full chapters from NoveI~Fire.net "You’re right," Chen Yang snapped his fingers and said, "However, in this alliance, I’m not asking us to do tremendous things for each other, but at least, under circumstances where we complement each other, we can help each other and achieve a win-win situation!" "Oh? Please elaborate, Brother Chen," Song Yun said. "If you form an alliance with my small circle group, then the Tripartite Corporation will surely ally with us as well. At that time, if we want to engage with the other two organizations, what I need you to do is actually quite simple! You just need to bear the brunt of the pressure on the front line for us, and at the same time, you need to keep an eye on the north. You know, nowadays, there are plenty of people looking to profit without doing anything, and as Sunan is right north of us in Guangdong, if anyone from the north wants to step in, they must go through Sunan first. So, I hope you can keep those who want a share at bay!" "No problem," Song Yun said. "The potential pressure from the front line would be nothing more than the Zhou Family over there along with the Guangdong Provincial Government here. I’ll get my connections in Beijing to suppress the Qian Family’s side for you. As for Guangdong, I can leverage my investment this time to make a case!" "Hmm, I guess that’s one of the reasons you’re investing here?" Chen Yang said with a smile, "Using such a large-scale investment to capture the attention of those above. Even if the system wants to intervene, you can use this investment to threaten them." "Hehe, smart, Boss Chen," Song Yun said with a smile. "Secondly, I also need your help. I need you to bring over an elite team from your side, not necessarily a large number, but they must be elite. In this era, the chance of an all-out, bloody confrontation is impossible. What we need to do is just a decapitation strike! If we can wipe out the leadership of the other side, that organization will naturally cease to exist. So, I need elites who can coordinate with my paratroopers in surprise attacks!" Chen Yang said. "No problem," Song Yun said. "I can bring you at least twenty elites, the truly elite kind." "Hmm, that’s our requirement from you, and next, let’s talk about the benefits you can receive," Chen Yang said. "If we manage to sweep the two forces out of Guangdong, then I’ll promise you at least a 40% share of the benefits in the Pearl River Delta region! Moreover, you will have free usage rights for the Pearl River Delta Golden Port, regardless of what or how much you want to transport, everything can go through us." "And then?" Song Yun asked with a smile. "Then, my small circle group and the Tripartite Corporation will become Shura Alliance’s most steadfast allies in the southeast. I know you want to move north, so you need a stable rear base. While my small circle group isn’t a big organization, as long as you help us with the above tasks, we can swear, even pledge certain things, to ensure that Shura Alliance can smoothly move northward. And when your reach extends to Pudong, my small circle group will certainly provide you with enough support to satisfy you!" Chen Yang continued. Song Yun smiled and said, "That’s a good deal, but it’s still not enough!" "Oh? What else do you want?" Chen Yang asked. "I want territory!" Song Yun said. "I want all the areas near the boundary between Guangdong and Sunan." "That’s impossible," Chen Yang replied. "I can give you a share of the profits, but not any land. Of course, if you want to set up operations here, I welcome you, but it must be under the control of my small circle group." "You really can’t give me territory?" Song Yun asked. "Then I want a 50% profit share," Song Yun said. "50% is too much!" Chen Yang said, frowning. "50% is even larger than our current share with the Tripartite Corporation. The Tripartite Corporation now holds just over 30% of the Pearl River Delta’s benefits." "However, if our plan succeeds, you’ll end up with 50% of the benefits, and the entire territory of the other two organizations will be yours. By then, the benefit growth will be immense, far beyond what 50% can currently compare to. At that point, 50% will be equivalent to 60% of your current benefits!" Song Yun said. "The benefits generated by a complete territory definitely outweigh those created by dividing it into three parts!" "I’ll give you a maximum of 40%," Chen Yang thought for a moment and said, "According to what you’ve said, 40% then would be equivalent to 50% now!" "45%!" Song Yun said. "Let’s both take a step back!" Thus, Chen Yang and Song Yun began to haggle over the distribution of benefits. Eventually, Song Yun’s share was locked at 43%. Of course, this was just a verbal agreement between them, and whether the small circle group would honor it in the end remained unknown. Of course, Song Yun wasn’t a fool and never trusted empty promises. "I want to see your sincerity," Song Yun said to Chen Yang. "Nowadays, there are plenty of people who burn bridges after crossing them. If I help you with those matters, and you eliminate those two organizations, only to deny everything afterwards, wouldn’t I have worked for nothing?" "That’s simple," Chen Yang said. "I can use some of my assets’ equity as collateral for you." "Oh? Equity?" Song Yun asked. "How much equity?" "An amount sufficient to cover 43% of the profits," Chen Yang said. "I can have those assets registered under your name, but you can’t take dividends, just have the name. In this way, I’ll give you 43% of the profits each year. You can keep those equity shares indefinitely, and if I ever fail to give you those profits, you can use your connections to transfer that equity! Of course, if I give you the profits, but you still move my equity, then we become enemies, and you won’t get another penny from me." "Deal!" Song Yun said with a smile.
