Game within game: chess player

"Asshole, this is a conspiracy! This is definitely a plan that has been prepared!"

Xiang Huatian looked at Zeng Weixiong on the screen and slammed the wine glass in his hand against the TV screen. The broken wine glass and splashing red wine hit Zeng Weixiong's face on the screen.

If Sun Ngee Ann is compared to a table, if one of the legs of Chen Xingyao's table is lame, the entire Sun Ngee Ann Building will be unstable. Although there is no risk of the building overturning, at least its vitality will be seriously damaged.

"Brother Tian, ​​something is obviously wrong. Ye Fang is now Zeng Weixiong's knife. One is responsible for disemboweling the stomach, and the other is responsible for suturing and applying medicine. They want to weaken the strength of the Xiangjiang Association. We cannot confront them head-on at this time, otherwise we will definitely suffer. It's us!" Link Xia, as a think-tank in Xin Ngee'an, has helped Xiang Huatian turn the tide many times in Xin Ngee'an's life and death moments.

So at this time, Xiang Huatian can be irrational and not listen to anyone, but he must listen to the butler Link Xia. Facts have proved that every time Link Xia's words are right.

"Are we going to have to take this breath?" Xiang Huatian said after calming down the anger in his heart.

"Brother Tian, ​​I know you may not want to hear what I say next, but I still want to say that what Ye Fangyou said is actually quite right." Link Xia said seriously.

"How can you speak for outsiders?" Xiang Huatian shouted angrily, then sat back on the sofa and turned away from Link Man.

Lin Kexia then sat opposite Xiang Huatian and said slowly, "This is not the Xiangjiang of ten or twenty years ago. At that time, we fought against the world with our bare hands, competing to see who was ruthless and who was more loyal. But times are different now. The British have quit, and a new era has begun. The world above will never allow an association like ours to exist, or even if we are allowed to exist, we need to live in an extremely low-key manner. We have indeed been too high-profile in the past few years. , 20K no longer dares to confront us head-on, and it is precisely because of this that these big brothers below have become unscrupulous, causing citizens to complain. If we do not change, we will definitely be changed by others. Rather than being changed by others, it is better for us to change ourselves."

"Change? Easier said than done, how to change? There are so many people eating with us, how can we feed them if we don't take advantage of others?" Xiang Huatian said, patting the armrest of the sofa hard.

"The current situation is that the police are increasingly suppressing our various businesses, forcing us to have less and less profit margins, and the risk factor is getting bigger and bigger. If we are not careful, we will be implicated, and it will be difficult to end well." At this point, Link Man paused, and said with a smile, "I am very envious of Uncle Yong, who is 14 years old. He can withdraw from the world safely and live out his old life. I am really afraid that our brothers will not be able to survive that day."

Xiang Huatian, who is in a high position in Xin Ngee Ann, naturally understands that what Link Xia said is right. He sighed for a long time and said bitterly, "How do you want to change? And this kid Ye Fang, I want to be cut to pieces right now." Kill him!"

"If killing him can solve our own problem, this matter will be simple. And I also learned one thing about the matter between 14K and Ye Fang." Link Xia said matter-of-factly.

"What's the matter? Tell me." Xiang Huatian asked seriously.

Then Lin Kexia told Xiang Huatian about the conflict between Ye Fang and 14K, and then asked Xiang Huatian, "You said why 14 suffered such a big loss, but Hu Yong still insisted on being on good terms with Ye Fang." Uncle Yong’s eyes are higher than his head, and his temperament of protecting shortcomings should not be like this, but why do he look at Ye Fang differently?"

"What do you think?" Xiang Huatian asked.

"Uncle Yong is a veteran of the martial arts world. He is a man of ghosts and ghosts. If there is not enough power to make him bow his head, he will never bow his head." Link Xia analyzed.

"Are you talking about the relationship between Ye Fang and O Ji Zeng Weixiong?" Xiang Huatian asked tentatively.

Link Xia shook his head and said, "It's not just that. I remember that day Zeng Weixiong told me that if something happened to Ye Fang in our hands, our entire Xin Ngee Ann would be buried with him. I thought it was just Zeng Weixiong's threat at the time. At that time and now It doesn’t look like a lie. At a young age, Ye Fang can mobilize billions of funds at will, chat and laugh with senior police officers, and share the same table with Hu Hu Yong. If my guess is correct, Ye Fang must have a very deep background. , and this background makes even Zeng Weixiong afraid of it."

"Ye Fang is not a native of Xiangjiang. Among the wealthy families in Xiangjiang, I know that no one named Ye has this energy and background, so they should be from the mainland. I haven't been to the mainland for many years, and I really don't know which family has Ye Fang. Such a character." Xiang Huatian said truthfully.

"So we now have two strategies. One is to give up confrontation, take a step back, and the world will be brighter. The second is to not only give up confrontation, but also try to befriend Ye Fang and obtain the maximum benefit. The first one can certainly protect oneself wisely, but still solve the problem Our current predicament cannot be solved. As for the second option, I think we can maintain the greatest cooperation and goodwill with Ye Fang through our status as shareholders of the two companies. We can promise to give up voting rights or give all voting rights to Ye Fang, so that we can get more benefits in the future. It may not be able to make up for what we have lost now, and we may even gain more." Link Xia talked eloquently.

After hearing what Link Xia said, Xiang Huatian was silent for a long time. He was also weighing the pros and cons of the whole thing. If you indulge in a temporary dispute of will, you will certainly be happy with your grudges, but it is very likely that the road will become narrower and narrower. When the time comes, not only will your vitality be severely damaged, but your muscles and bones may also be damaged. If the hostility can be turned into friendship, it is very possible to reach a reconciliation with Ye Fang, and there may be cooperation in the future.

Thinking of this, Xiang Hua Tian took a deep breath and said, "Okay, just go ahead and do this. I hope you are right this time."

"Okay, I'll make arrangements now."

The first thing Lin Kexia did after getting Xiang Huatian's permission was to remove all the people from Xin Ngee Ann outside China Shipping. The second thing was that all the stars under Huaqi Entertainment had also been instructed by Xin Ngee An to renew their contracts. Warner Pictures. Lin Kexia removed all the people from Xin Ngee Ann at once, allowing the two companies to operate normally, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

After such an incident happened, Warner Films President Yang Mingzhen immediately reported to Ye Fang early the next morning, and then Chen Lexing also reported to Ye Fang. The entire China Shipping business was recovering steadily, especially in the When all front-line workers were informed that the new company would give everyone a 30.00% salary increase, all workers' enthusiasm for work was unprecedentedly high, causing the company's overall business to increase by 20.00%.

After learning the news, Ye Fang was still a little puzzled. He originally thought that Xin Ngee An would definitely not give up this time, but he did not expect that sexual transformation would suddenly cease. Ye Fang didn't know whether Xiang Huatian was deliberately showing weakness for another purpose, or if he was really preparing to avoid his edge and wait for an opportunity to counterattack. At least at this moment, Ye Fang couldn't figure out what Xin Ngee'an was up to, so he had to tell Yang Mingzhen and Chen Lexing to reorganize the company's structure according to the schedule so that the company could return to normal as soon as possible.

At the same time, Ye Fang told Lu Jiaming, Yang Mingzhen and Chen Lexing that they would come to Deep Water Bay for a meeting in the evening. After hanging up the phone, Ye Fang spent a rare leisurely day in the villa. During this period, Zeng Weixiong once called Ye Fang to inquire about the next step. arrangement, because the entire Xiangjiang community seemed to have disappeared since last night. Not only Xin Ngee Ann, but also 14K began to hibernate, which made Zeng Weixiong very uncomfortable.

Ye Fang could only appease Zeng Weixiong and wait and see what happens. The two major associations played the same card, which meant that Zeng Weixiong's thunderous anti-gang operation was successful, which greatly deterred various associations in Hong Kong. Isn't the peace in front of him exactly the same? Want it? Does O Ji want to be anti-black every day? The purpose of setting it up is to be a deterrent. Hearing what Ye Fang said, Zeng Weixiong nodded with deep understanding. At the same time, Ye Fang told Zeng Weixiong that the anti-crime operation should come to an end. Obviously, this time the anti-crime operation of Thunder has achieved the expected purpose, and everyone can take a rest. For a moment.

After hanging up the phone, Su Long came to report that Xin Ngee An Link Man had arrived.

"Why is he here?" Ye Fang was obviously very surprised by Link Man's sudden visit. He didn't know whether Link Man came here to declare a war, or for peace talks, or whether the two sides found a place like the movie. There was a fight, then the police arrived belatedly, and finally the movie ended.

"Invite him to the garden." Ye Fang said.

After a while, Su Long took Link Xia to the garden in front of the villa. Rattan chairs and tea fruits had been set up in the garden. Sitting on the rattan chairs, you could look at the incomparable sea view of Xiangjiang River in the distance, which was a beautiful enjoyment.

When Lin Kexia saw Ye Fang sitting leisurely in a wicker chair, he couldn't help but feel a little angry when he thought that he was the mastermind behind the turmoil in the world. However, at this time, others were in a stronger position, and they couldn't figure out Ye Fang's details, which led to the loss of Xinyi'an's troops, so this time Link Xia came here hoping to make friends with Ye Fang.

Although he was still a little dissatisfied, Link Xia was extremely well-educated and flexible. He walked straight to the wicker chair next to Ye Fang and sat down on him without waiting for Ye Fang's invitation.

"Mr. Lin's habit of showing up uninvited really makes me a little..." Ye Fang turned to look at Link Xia and said the second half of the sentence, "I'm not used to it."

"Habits are formed slowly, aren't they?" Link Man picked up an apple and took a bite of it.

Ye Fang took a look at Link Xia's relaxed and carefree appearance, and asked curiously, "Mr. Lin's sudden visit today is to declare a challenge, or is he here to...eat apples?"

Link Xia smiled and said, "If it were me 20 years ago, I would definitely declare a challenge. Even if I knew I was losing, I would fight to the last moment. Now, as I get older, I am becoming more and more timid when I encounter someone. People who don’t understand something are accustomed to calm down and think about it, and then make a decision before taking action.”

"Can I understand it this way? It's because you can't see the situation clearly for the time being, so you choose to be quiet, take a look, and think about it." Ye Fang said directly.

"That's pretty much what it means." After Link Xia finished speaking, he glanced at Ye Fang and said, "The other thing is that we can't see you clearly."

After hearing what Link Xia said, Ye Fang smiled and said, "I am just a businessman. It would be wrong for you to focus on me."

"Why do you say that?" Link Man asked.

"In the face of the general trend of the world, I am just a point. Even if I am not here this time, there will be others standing in my position. In the face of the general trend, you have no way to retreat. Either change or be eliminated. Those are the two ways. ." Ye Fang held out two fingers to Link Xia.

"It's not easy to clean up the gangsters. Xin Ngee Ann is too big, and there are too many people eating with Xin Ngee Ann. We have also been trying in this area in the past few years, but we have been trapped in the world and have never been able to get out of this circle. "Link Xia said, his words full of helplessness.

Ye Fang shook his head in disapproval and said, "It's not that it's difficult, but it's a lack of determination to change." When he said this, Ye Fang took the initiative to turn his head to Link Man, and said slowly in a prophetic tone, "You don't have much time. .”

When he heard Ye Fang say these words, Link Xia's heart skipped a beat. He could see that Ye Fang was not being alarmist, or just making empty talk, but that Link Xia really believed this.

"Mr. Ye, I came here today not to declare war, but to seek peace. If you have any questions, you may wish to tell me directly. I would like to thank you on behalf of Xin Ngee Ann." After speaking, Lin Kexia stood up and bowed respectfully to Ye Fang. Bow, this made Ye Fang a little unexpected. He did not expect that Yilin Kexia's status in the world would actually bow to him.

Ye Fang quickly helped Link Xia up and pushed him back onto the wicker chair. Now Ye Fang could truly see Link Xia's sincerity. Ye Fang has never been afraid of head-on confrontation. Even if Link Xia came to use tactics today, he would still follow them. However, Link Xia's low profile made Ye Fang's mentality change.

Xin Ngee Ann has a huge power in Hong Kong. Any conflict that occurs will be accompanied by blood and death, as well as the separation of countless families behind it. Thinking of this, Ye Fang mentioned that the mainland and Hong Kong intend to coordinate the police forces to organize a large-scale anti-gang operation. Told Linkman. Although this plan is still under preparation, Ye Fang believes that a formal action plan will be formed by the middle of the year at the latest. These are all deduced by Ye Fang based on his recent contacts with Hai Wenshan and Zeng Weixiong. Ye Fang believes that there shouldn't be much difference.

"Are you telling the truth?" Link Man's expression suddenly changed.

"Fake! I lied to you!" Ye Fang rolled his eyes at Link Xia and continued angrily, "If you don't believe it, you can try Xin Ngee'an."

"I believe it, I believe it!" Link Man said quickly.

"Just trust me. Although Xin Ngee Ann is a big ship, the primitive accumulation of capital is still there after all. The companies under Xiang's family have great potential for development if they are well run. And I suggest that you should actively explore the mainland market. Xiangjiang is really too small. The core of future development is the mainland, there is no second choice." Ye Fangconfidence said.

Looking at the light flashing in Ye Fang's eyes, Link Xia also secretly made up his mind to transform! Whitewash! Whitewash! Washed clean!

"Survive in a low profile, do things in a high profile, and let everyone see your determination to change!" Ye Fang added another sentence.

After hearing this, Link Xia thought it made sense, and then directly expressed the idea in his mind and said, "Mr. Ye, I have an idea, I don't know if it is feasible. I hope you can give me some suggestions."

"Say it!" Ye Fang said cheerfully.

"I would like to ask you to become a shareholder in the Xiang Group!"
