Chapter 318 - Negotiation and Plotting





This was inevitable. Previously, the 50/50 split of interest was based on Bao Sanli’s strong position. But now, Bao Sanli would perish if there wasn’t any backup, so Hou Zhenhan would never agree to Bao Sanli’s terms.


Based on the current situation, Bao Sanli also had to compromise. This evening would be the second negotiation! This time, Bao Sanli had decided to surrender. It was because Hou Zhenhan promised him that as long as he worked hard for his boss behind the scenes, his boss would help him to own the underworld of Song Jiang!


After the successful invasion, the underworld would be managed by Hou Zhenhan and Bao Sanli. Although it seemed that Bao Sanli had to take orders from someone, the actual power he had didn’t diminish. He still owned half of Song Jiang’s underworld or even more by then! It was because when the underworld of Song Jiang was unified, and there would only be Hou Zhenhan who would jointly manage it with him. In fact, his power was greater than before!


You win some; you lose some. Bao Sanli knew that if the negotiation was successful today, he would not be able to make decisions solely by himself in the future. Everything must be discussed with Hou Zhenhan! Moreover, the money in the gang no longer belonged solely to him anymore. According to common sense, Hou Zhenhan must be the one managing the account!


However, Bao Sanli also believed that he and his brothers wouldn’t be treated unfairly. Moreover, now it seemed that Hou Zhenhan wasn’t the kind of person who liked to interfere with unnecessary matters!


Therefore, as long as he was loyal to the boss behind the scenes, Hou Zhenhan wouldn’t restrict him much! In this way, there would only be benefits for him.


Since he sorted it out, Bao Sanli no longer had any concern. So, that was the reason for the negotiation this evening.


In the Nightless Club, Bao Sanli had arranged the conference room carefully. The fruit plate and dessert on the table were fully prepared. Obviously, he knew the importance of this negotiation.


Before this, Bao Sanli was arrogant. He thought that he could defeat Yu Xiangde by himself, but he was wrong. If it was only Yu Xiangde, he had no problem in dealing with him! Although he wasn’t good at strategizing, Yu Xiangde was a complete retard. Bao Sanli could defeat him easily.


But now, the Four Snakes Gang from Donghai supported Yu Xiangde. In this way, Bao Sanli’s disadvantages were apparent!


Although the Four Snakes Gang could only be regarded as a second-rate gang in Donghai, the underworld there was totally different from Song Jiang. Donghai is the capital city which is different from Song Jiang!


In their opinion, these gangs in Song Jiang were just some mediocre punks. It was incomparable to the strict organizational discipline of the big gangs! The difference between them was akin to the rural army and the official army!


Therefore, the originally scattered battlefield immediately turned into a one-sided situation when the Four Snakes Gang intervened. The previous situation was that both Bao Sanli and Yu Xiangde made an appointment, then they brought their men to a certain location for a battle.


Due to fact that Bao Sanli’s men were stronger, they had won more than lost. The advantages were quickly established but the Four Snakes Gang had disrupted the situation! Brother Snake began to systematically command the people of Yu Xiangde to dominate the territory, instead of going eye to eye with Bao Sanli’s men! They used surprise attack tactics, so it caught Bao Sanli off guard. While one place got settled, another place was attacked again!


It wasn’t that Bao Sanli didn’t want to learn the way that Yu Xiangde did. But, he couldn’t do it! He had fewer men as compared to the Yu Xiangde who had the help from Four Snakes Gang. There were a large number of men from the Four Snakes Gang on guard. If he attacked, he would be digging his own grave.


Bao Sanli was depressed! He had no solution for it. He was being cornered at this situation! As he was getting anxious, he had no choice but to think of Hou Zhenhan!


However, Bao Sanli was skeptical about it. The current situation looked as if it couldn’t be undone anymore. Can Hou Zhenhan’s boss clean up this mess and turn the table? No matter what, Bao Sanli had no choice now. Surrendering to Hou Zhenhan’s boss was the only way out of this situation.


Hou Zhenhan came with Yang Ming’s words. The words were very straightforward but this also made Bao Sanli feel assured.


“Brother Bao, my boss has no intention of interfering with the matters of Song Jiang’s underworld. He still has many other important things to do every day. It’s impossible for him to interfere with all these things.” Hou Zhenhan said, “However, the boss wants absolute control and the absolute loyalty from the people under him! That’s all from my boss. If you agree, then let’s talk about the details. If you don’t agree, I have nothing to lose in this respect.”


Bao Sanli went silent for a moment, Hou Zhenhan’s words were undoubtedly stating that Bao Sanli had to work for the boss behind the scenes in the future! However, Bao Sanli had already prepared for this beforehand. Hou Zhenhan’s words had given assurance to Bao Sanli. The boss only wanted the control, and he wouldn’t interfere with the matters of the underworld.


“I agree.” Bao Sanli made a decision. A wise man knows when to submit; only a fool will hold his ground. If I nod, then at least I will be the nominal boss of Song Jiang’s underworld. If I shake my head, I might even lose my life! He didn’t believe Yu Xiangde would let him live.


“Okay, I will report to my boss about your decision.” Hou Zhenhan nodded and said, “In that case, I will tell you the plan now! My boss can easily defeat the Four Snakes Gang and Yu Xiangde. However, he doesn’t intend to do this!”


“What?” Bao Sanli was astounded. “What does the boss mean?”


“Boss said, he doesn’t need trash. He wants the people under him to have their ability. If he has to deal with everything by himself then why does he need people under him?” Hou Zhenhan said word for word.


” Ah ? Then you mean… I have to depend on myself?” Bao Sanli was dumbfounded. If so, what was the difference between surrender and no surrender? Weren’t both ways a dead-end? There was no difference!


“Yes.” Hou Zhenhan nodded.


“Brother Hou, are you fooling me?” Bao Sanli smile bitterly, “Is this really what the boss means?”


“Of course, the boss said, he will help you to deal with the trouble that you couldn’t deal with! You still have to handle the other stuff.” Hou Zhenhan smiled and said, “The boss isn’t asking you to hit the rock with an egg [1]. You’re thinking too much!”


Is it me who thinks too much? Bao Sanli shook his head helplessly. You didn’t make it clear. You nearly scared me to death! Knowing that the boss would help him, Bao Sanli was relieved, “What will the boss handle?”


“What do you think is the key reason that you can’t defeat Yu Xiangde?” Hou Zhenhan returned a question to Bao Sanli. He wanted Bao Sanli to think for himself. Only in this way, he could increase his importance to the boss. Otherwise, if Hou Zhenhan had said it first then Bao Sanli’s contribution wouldn’t be as much!


“Isn’t that simple? Brother Hou, you also see that I almost defeated Yu Xiangde before. If it wasn’t because of the intervention from the Four Snakes Gang, now I… oh , forget it. A real man will not speak of his courageous past!” Bao Sanli shook his head, “Brother Hou, can you ask our boss to deal with the Four Snakes Gang for me?”


” Hehe , you’re quite good at planning. You know how to push the difficult task to the boss and leave yourself with a simple task?” Hou Zhenhan smiled and pretended to despise him.


” Hehe … I’m only capable of this much, or else, why would I work under the boss? Why not become the boss myself?”


“Well, I will talk to the boss about this matter and ask him to do it. You wait for my news.” Hou Zhenhan nodded and said.


“Thank you, Brother Hou!” Bao Sanli was delighted. Although he knew that Hou Zhenhan would definitely agree to his request, the effect was different if he heard it himself! However, Bao Sanli was still a bit skeptical, How powerful is this mysterious boss of mine? The Four Snakes Gang shouldn’t be easy to deal with.


“Don’t doubt the boss’s ability. The boss wants his men to trust him.” Hou Zhenhan seemed to notice Bao Sanli’s hesitation so he gave a reminder.


“Yes! Yes!” Bao Sanli was shocked and immediately nodded. He now realized that he was just a man under someone.


“After the incident, you still own the command of the gang.” Hou Zhenhan said, “But the funds and account books must be managed by me. You are still a master of the gang. I’m the deputy master.”


Bao Sanli knew that this was an inevitable result. Although the position of the master was retained, the power was divided! Although Hou Zhenhan was nominally a deputy master, everyone knew that the one who controlled the money was the true master! It would be Hou Zhenhan who paid the bonus to his men, so Hou Zhenhan’s position in the gang would definitely be higher than his in the future!
