Although this is just a tabloid story, it directly reflects the vast market and influence range of the Money Group across Guangzhou. "Is the leader of the Money Group really that impressive? I find it hard to believe someone could be as legendary as you say," Song Yun asked. Song Yun’s eyebrows slightly furrowed. He knew the Money Group was strong, but he didn’t expect it to be this powerful. This could be quite tricky. If the Money Group relentlessly tries to suppress his incursion here in Guangzhou, Song Yun might be powerless. "Based on what you said, if the Money Group is so strong, wouldn’t it be easy for them to wipe out the other two organizations?" Song Yun asked. "That’s where you’re mistaken. You’re right in a way; the Money Group could likely eliminate the other two organizations despite some difficulty. But, the authorities don’t want the Money Group to wipe them out because they don’t want a single group dominating. That’s why Xingyi’an Company and Tripartite Corporation have existed until now. The Three Kingdoms balance each other, allowing the authorities to benefit by sitting back and watching," Xiao Qiang explained. "I see." Song Yun nodded. "That makes sense. Every place develops differently. For example, in all of Sunan, that’s Song Family’s stronghold. Song Yun’s relationships with various bigwigs are truly impeccable." So naturally, the mainstay in Sunan and Xu Hongxing would let Song Yun dominate, but Song Yun wouldn’t let success get to his head and become arrogant. But it’s different here in Guangzhou. Although these powers have been operating for a long time, they can’t dominate like the Shura Alliance does in Sunan. Therefore, the authorities remain cautious of these three forces. Under such caution, the balance of the Three Kingdoms becomes the best way to control these three major powers. It’s often said that a triangle is the most stable shape, and indeed, it seems true. The triangular system is the so-called equilibrium. After talking with Xiao Qiang for a while longer, Song Yun made another call to Liu Ruoxi, and this time Liu Ruoxi answered. "Who’s the contractor for my High-tech Industrial Park?" Song Yun asked. "Why do you ask?" Liu Ruoxi replied with curiosity. "The contractors we found for you are very capable. They’ve worked with the authorities many times. With reasonable pricing and quality, you have nothing to worry about." "I just happen to have a friend in construction," Song Yun said directly. "If possible, I’d like to hand this High-tech Industrial Park project over to my friend." "Your friend? Who?" Liu Ruoxi inquired. "Wang Qiang," Song Yun answered. "Wang Qiang? Oh, I know!" Liu Ruoxi exclaimed. "I think his family specializes in this field. But this might be tricky. Our current contractors have connections very high up, and they also have ties with the Construction Committee. I can see if we can arrange a bidding process and have Wang Qiang participate." "A bidding process?" Song Yun frowned and looked at Xiao Qiang, who nodded. Song Yun said, "Then let’s go for bidding." "Alright. I’ll arrange for someone to handle this soon. After all, handling those relationships on my end is quite a bit of pressure," Liu Ruoxi said. "I remember all the good you’ve done for me," Song Yun said slyly, "and I’ll definitely repay you well." "Invest more in Guangzhou and help us out, that’s enough. I have another meeting to attend. Talk to you later, bye." Liu Ruoxi said as she hung up. Song Yun smiled and said to Xiao Qiang, "We have to compete in the bidding process." "We’re not afraid of competing," Xiao Qiang said. "In Guangdong Province, no one can compete with us openly and fairly. Thank you this time, Song Yun." "No need to be so polite," Song Yun replied. "I just secured a bidding opportunity for you." "Haha, the opportunity is enough. By the way, I heard from An Tu that your reasons for coming to Guangdong aren’t so simple!" Xiao Qiang said with a smirk. Song Yun’s expression tightened. It was normal for An Tu, being the grandson ranked number 1 in the Red Wall, to know some of his affairs. But he didn’t expect An Tu to discuss these matters with Xiao Qiang. Though Xiao Qiang mentioned it lightly, it was clear to Song Yun that Xiao Qiang was indicating his close relationship with An Tu; otherwise, An Tu wouldn’t have shared such things with him. "Haha, you have a good relationship with An Tu," Song Yun laughed. "When will you introduce us?" "He just happened to be visiting Guangzhou the other day," Xiao Qiang replied. Something stirred in Song Yun’s mind. Xiao Qiang might have known about his visit to Guangzhou earlier but only came today possibly because he was entertaining An Tu before. "What was An Tu doing in Guangzhou?" Song Yun asked casually. "Just for fun," Xiao Qiang said casually. "I’ve been inviting him to visit, and he finally found the time recently." "Hey, wait a minute," Song Yun frowned. "With your relationship with An Tu, shouldn’t you be swamped with project offers?" "Hehe, Song Yun, we’re both smart people. Let’s not beat around the bush. When you mix other things into something, it loses its purity. An Tu and I are just simple friends. I don’t ask him for favors, and he doesn’t ask me to do things for him. We’re merely friends, nothing more. Now across Shen Zhou, apart from my classmates, maybe only you know that An Tu and I are acquainted. I want to maintain this relationship purely going forward," Xiao Qiang said. Fresh chapters posted on 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡⚫𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢⚫𝘯𝘦𝘵 Song Yun chuckled. He didn’t believe Xiao Qiang’s explanation. Song Yun wasn’t foolish; he understood it instantly. The concept of "relationships": the more you use them, the shorter they become. Xiao Qiang might be able to call on An Tu once, twice, thrice, but there would be a time when he couldn’t, and at that point, their friendship would reach its peak. And although Xiao Qiang didn’t currently seek An Tu’s help, this connection could continue indefinitely, providing benefits beyond any singular incident.
