80 -80 Discussing Cooperation in a Relaxed and Happy Manner

“Boss Xiang, since you have the sincerity to cooperate, we welcome it.

However, I must clarify one thing: even though I’m just the middleman, I still need to collect a fee.

So, apart from the one-time payment you make, I’ll also take a cut of the profits.

Don’t say we’re bullying you, I’ve always had a sixty-forty split with Yan Bin, but since it’s our first time doing business, I’ll only take thirty percent,” Ding Yongzhi said.

The moment Xiang Yu saw him, he knew Ding Yongzhi was the typical shady merchant; there was no way Yan Bin would actually give him money, much less a sixty-forty split.

Xiang Yu laughed and said, “That won’t do.”

Ding Yongzhi thought Xiang Yu disagreed, when in fact, his ideal was to take a twenty percent cut.

As a middleman, he would always collect his fee, and getting a cut of the profits was like picking up free money.

Just as Ding Yongzhi was about to ask for twenty percent, Xiang Yu waved his hand to stop him and said, “Boss Ding, I’ve told you before, I’ll split the profits fifty-fifty with you.

I, Xiang Yu, always keep my word.

If I say fifty-fifty, it’s fifty-fifty.

I won’t go back on my word.”

Hearing Xiang Yu’s words, Ding Yongzhi was suddenly flustered.

Who conducted business this way, giving away their hard-earned cash so freely?

This turn of events actually made Ding Yongzhi feel somewhat embarrassed.

“How about this, we’ll stick to sixty-forty, I’ve seen your sincerity…”

Before he could finish, Xiang Yu insisted, “Boss Ding, if you keep refusing, you’re looking down on me, Xiang Yu.

We got this business through you, so it’s only right to split the profits evenly.

Otherwise, we can’t talk business,” Xiang Yu said, feigning anger.

“Fine, fine, since it’s like that, I will humbly comply,” Ding Yongzhi said, trying to hide his excitement, but he was simply too overjoyed.

Partners as foolish as this were hard to come by; he couldn’t let Xiang Yu slip away.

Ding Yongzhi had prepared a contract, but seeing Xiang Yu’s generous demeanor, he felt too embarrassed to bring it out.

“Boss Xiang, you’re a few years younger than me, so I’ll just call you brother.

Brother Xiang, we must have a good drink today,” Ding Yongzhi said, standing up to make a phone call and arrange the food and drinks.

“Brother Ding, don’t be shy with me.

Speaking of eating, I’m actually quite hungry,” Xiang Yu chuckled.

The food arrived quickly, and Xiang Yu turned to Shi Jian and the others, “You two don’t just sit there, come and join us.

Brother Ding is no stranger here; we’re all brothers,” Xiang Yu said, smiling at Ding Yongzhi.

Ding Yongzhi nodded in return.

In fact, he only wanted to dine with Xiang Yu; he didn’t really care about the others, but today, in his joy, he didn’t mind.

Shi Jian and Tie Zhuzi didn’t stand on ceremony and sat down to start eating.

Ding Yongzhi lifted his glass, intending to say a few polite words, but then he saw Xiang Yu also picking up his chopsticks and digging in.

The three men ate as if they hadn’t had food in generations.

Tie Zhuzi, finding chopsticks cumbersome, eventually resorted to using his hands.

“Brother Ding, your chef really did a great job,” Xiang Yu said, with his mouth full of food.

Before Ding Yongzhi could respond, Shi Jian nodded and added, “This dish is excellent, I’ve never tasted something this good before.” No sooner had he finished speaking, Xiang Yu and Tie Zhuzi immediately divided the dish between them.

Watching the three men, Ding Yongzhi couldn’t help but snort disdainfully inside.

They were fools; their current success was purely due to luck.

However, he liked working with such people—easy to make money from, and more importantly, easy to control.

Ding Yongzhi intended to join them with his chopsticks, but seeing the messy state of the dishes they had mauled, he lost his appetite and just sat watching them eat.

About ten minutes later, the three finished off the food as if they were cyclones.

Only then did Xiang Yu wipe his mouth with a napkin and reproach Shi Jian and the other, “What’s this mess you two have made?

Look at how you’ve eaten.

Can’t you be a bit more refined?”

Ding Yongzhi: “…”

“If you’re full, go stand over there,” Xiang Yu said, belching.

Only then did Shi Jian and the other return to the sofa.

Tie Zhuzi still had a chicken foot in his hand, which he ate and then casually wiped his hands on the sofa.

Ding Yongzhi witnessed this scene and inwardly scorned the three.

They were completely boorish, but for the sake of money, he held back his contempt.

“I’m really sorry, Brother Ding.

I was too hungry.

And these two brothers of mine are a bit lacking in manners,” Xiang Yu apologized.

“Not at all, Brother Xiang.

I like it this way—straightforward, with no scheming,” replied Ding Yongzhi with a chuckle, then continued, “But there’s one thing I’m worried about.

Yan Bin controls most of this line of work in the city—oh, I mean your brother Silver.

Won’t he be opposed if you get involved?”

“Don’t worry about that.

My business is mainly in other provinces.

I’m not even interested in the city’s share.

Besides, Silver’s days here are numbered.

And don’t laugh, Brother Ding, but Silver and I are sworn enemies.

This place will be mine sooner or later,” Xiang Yu said nonchalantly.

Ding Yongzhi had done his research on Xiang Yu and was well aware of his history with Yan Bin.

But hearing such words from Xiang Yu’s mouth made him even more certain that Xiang Yu was crude and solved most problems with brute force.

He was beginning to doubt his previous investigations; although Xiang Yu had a reputation for being lascivious, he was known to be very capable.

Otherwise, he couldn’t have built such a large force in such a short time, nor could he have been such a headache for Yan Bin.

As he deepened his understanding, he started to question if it was all just luck.

Maybe Xiang Yu was truly no match for Yan Bin.

“Brother Ding, when can we start the deal?” Xiang Yu asked eagerly.

“Don’t worry, as soon as possible.

I will give you a call.

Just make sure you have the money ready, little brother.” Ding Yongzhi emphasized the matter of money.

He didn’t want Xiang Yu to talk big but fail to produce the money when the time came—that would be nonsense.

“Money is not a problem.

How about I transfer the money to your card now?” Xiang Yu offered sincerely.

“Oh, that’s not necessary.

I trust Brother Xiang,” Yan Bin replied with a smile.

At that moment, Yan Bin felt like bursting into laughter.

With someone as straightforward as Xiang Yu, making money in the future would be a breeze.

He was even more resolved to work with Xiang Yu.

Xiang Yu belched again and said, “Now that the deal is set and I’m full, I’ll be taking my leave.”

Xiang Yu stood up and clasped his fists, and Yan Bin quickly grabbed Xiang Yu’s arm, saying, “Brother Xiang, stay here tonight.

I’ll find you a couple of girls, guaranteed to your satisfaction.”

Xiang Yu chuckled and patted Ding Yongzhi’s shoulder, “No need to bother, Brother Ding.

I have to rush back—got a little something to handle…” Xiang Yu said making a silly face.

Ding Yongzhi laughed heartily and nodded knowingly, “In that case, I won’t stand in the way of Brother Xiang’s good times.”
