Wealth and beauty beyond measure

  Zhang Yang sneered, looking at Old Man Bai with great interest and said: "What I'm hearing from you seems to imply that I'm the one who's wrong? You seem to have forgotten who has the upper hand now. With the evidence in my hands, I can make sure White Lander never holds his head high in the jewelry industry again. The esteemed Old Man Bai's own son is actually a despicable person, and just this alone will make him infamous!"

  Bai Feng's face flashed with a hint of anger, staring viciously at Zhang Yang. He stood up, supporting himself on the table, and said word by word: "If you dare to do this, I'll find someone to take care of you. Let me tell you, old man, I've been through mountains of knives and seas of blood. When I'm being ruthless, you were still nowhere to be found. If it weren't for those people outside the door, do you think I'd waste words with you? Just because of this one thing - setting a trap to humiliate Lan Dong in front of everyone - I have the heart to kill you!"

  "So this is the true face of the highly respected and dignified Old Master Bai! It's really quite intimidating! But you'd better come at me! I don't know if you've heard this phrase before, but a barefoot person isn't afraid of one wearing shoes. Right now, I'm that barefoot person. If you don't satisfy me, I'll drag your grandson down with me to death. Let's see who's more ruthless!" Zhang Yang was not intimidated at all, standing on the opposite side of the table, his hands also placed on the table, staring fiercely at Bai Fengxian.

  Now that things have come to this, neither of us can back down. Whoever backs down will lose, so Zhang Yang came out strong and unyielding from the start. What about Old Man Bai? The initiative is in my hands now. If you don't satisfy me, I'll make sure your grandson never holds his head up again.

  Bai Feng took a deep breath and sat down.

  Since there is no threat to Zhang Yang, he can only choose other methods. Who let the initiative be in Zhang Yang's hands? He also has those inexplicable relationships outside. Thinking of those women outside, Bai Fengxian was furious. If it weren't for them, would he have been so embarrassed now? A junior like him, in the past, didn't even have the chance to see his face, and now he is openly playing tricks on him.

  "You probably don't know who I, Bai Fengxian, am! What a big deal. As long as I put aside my old face, at least half of the people in Beijing's jewelry industry won't do business with you. You think you can make a name for yourself in Beijing? That's just a daydream!"

  Seeing that Bai Fengxian was not joking, Zhang Yang sat down in the chair opposite him and lit a cigarette without any courtesy: "I believe in your reputation in Jianghu, but it's useless to tell me this. Why do I want to take root in Beijing? One hundred million, I want one hundred million! With this one hundred million, why should I suffer from you in Beijing!"

  "Let's be frank, one hundred million is absolutely impossible. You and I both know it in our hearts. I won't give it to you, otherwise you wouldn't have come here either. I have a solution, think about it. I've already investigated your background, Xiao Hai. I'm very clear. You haven't been in Beijing for long, you haven't participated in the jade stone gambling for long, and you've only just entered the jewelry industry. It can be said that you have no foundation and no connections, and without these, it's extremely difficult to develop in Beijing. The things you lack, I have them all."

  Zhang Yang raised his head, he knew that relying solely on a verbal promise to get 100 million was impossible. Because his own foundation was too shallow and he was not in the same league as Bai Fengxian at all. This was also why he wanted to communicate with Bai Fengxian privately, they needed to reach an agreement and perfectly resolve this matter.

  Zhang Yang can now confirm his reputation in the Beijing stone gambling circle through this matter, and the next step is to formally participate. If he really gets into an irreconcilable situation with Bai Fengxian, he will have a hard time in the future, after all, the old man's Jianghu status is there, and Huaxia's national sentiment is about this.

  Zhang Yang flicked his cigarette ash and looked at Bai Fengxian, saying: "If you have something to say, just say it straight out, no need to beat around the bush!"

  "Alright, I'll get straight to the point. I have a storefront in Panjiayuan that I'll transfer to you once things blow over. Later on, I'll introduce some old clients and connections to help you establish yourself in Beijing. That's all there is to it! You're not allowed to go out and spread this around, and we'll destroy the evidence together. This conflict was just a test of wills between the two of you, and my son lost to you. That's all. As for the so-called bet, it was just a joke!" White Fengxian said.

  Zhang Yang sneered and said: "Do you think I will still believe you after your grandson's betrayal?"

  If Zhang Yang really did that, and later the Bai family disavowed him, he would be left looking foolish. Moreover, Zhang Yang absolutely wouldn't believe that Bai Fengxian would let him off so easily; it's clear that this old man isn't a magnanimous person, and right now he just wants to minimize the impact of this matter, not letting the ugly face of Bai Landa be exposed. As long as they give him enough time, he can suppress the incident or turn black into white, changing several versions.

  All kinds of messages are mixed together, no one can distinguish between true and false. By the time the Bai family calmed things down, they tore up their promises and refused to acknowledge the matter. Even if someone had evidence in hand, others would not believe it.

  Bai Fengxian's eyes flashed with a hint of anger: "I, Bai Fengxian, always keep my word. You can go out and ask around, in the past few decades, when have I ever said something that didn't count?"

  Zhang Yang burst out laughing and said: "Your reputation has nothing to do with me, I don't believe in these empty words, I only believe in what's in my hands."

  "What do you want then?" Bai Fengxian asked, suppressing his anger.

  "Right, now you're showing some signs of negotiation. You don't need to mention your reputation in the Jianghu to me, I'm not interested in that. Just transfer the ownership of the shop to me right now, leave all the goods inside, and get rid of everyone else. As for your connections and relationships, I don't need them, and I'm not afraid you'll mock me for not daring to use them. How you explain things is up to you, but I won't show my face. However, remember one thing: don't harm my reputation. I know you have a lot of connections and relationships, so I'll give you enough time to handle this matter quietly. But there are witnesses outside who will speak out against you! If I find out that you're distorting the truth, I won't take a single penny from you, and I'll fight it out with Bailan Dong to the end. After all, I'm just a brick, while he's a porcelain piece - who should be afraid of whom?!" Zhang Yang said.

  Bai Feng endured his anger and automatically filtered out Zhang Yang's words from behind, instead looking at Zhang Yang with doubt: "That's all?"

  According to his idea, Zhang Yang would definitely take the opportunity to open his mouth wide. Otherwise, he wouldn't have come up with a strong attack from the start, just to overwhelm Zhang Yang and make him dare not mention any conditions randomly. But he failed, he had already made preparations for a big loss of blood, but unexpectedly Zhang Yang's request was so low. Just one store front, plus goods, it would be around 10 million yuan.

  "Of course, I also want to pick one from your fur collection. I heard that Old Man Bai has collected many top-grade furs, some of which are already several decades old and are truly rare treasures. I don't need much, just one piece will do," said Zhang Yang.

  Zhang Yang made this decision after weighing the pros and cons. Now that things have come to this point, a solution must be found. Neither Wang Li, Lei Qianhui, nor Old Man Bai wants this matter to escalate further; otherwise, they wouldn't have accompanied Zhang Yang here. They could have just let Bai Landa pay the compensation at Lidu Company. Since they've come, it means that this matter will be resolved privately and a mutually acceptable condition will be reached.

  Wang Li and Li Qianhui only ensured that they wouldn't be taken advantage of, but the specific conditions were not their concern. The two sides didn't have a close relationship, so it all depended on the confrontation between Zhang Yang and Bai Fengxian.

  One billion is impossible, even if Bai Fengxian really agrees to give it, Zhang Yang won't want it. Since he plans to develop in the capital city, he has to pay attention to his reputation. From start to finish, he has taken the initiative and occupied the moral high ground, which is also why Wang Li and others are willing to support Zhang Yang's negotiations with Bai Lao Yezi. If they really want this one billion, it will affect their reputation, and they will keep a distance from Zhang Yang. Zhang Yang won't let himself lose points on this matter; money is just that, for Zhang Yang, there are plenty of opportunities to make money, he knows what's important and what's not.

  It's not enough to just lose out; if someone doesn't even dare to fight for their own deserved benefits when they have so many people supporting them, others will look down on him.

  It's not going to work even if you want more, it exceeds the bottom line of the Bai family, they won't agree. As for Bai Lando, he's definitely done for, but he and the Bai family will also form an irreconcilable feud. In the future, you won't have to bother doing business, just dealing with the Bai family's secret calculations will be overwhelming.

  This condition would make the Bai family suffer a loss and learn a lesson, so they wouldn't dare to provoke him again easily. At the same time, it was within their acceptable range, and they could grit their teeth and agree to it. Zhang Yang had been in a dilemma, not knowing what conditions to set, until Bai Fengxian mentioned the store just now, and then Zhang Yang suddenly thought of this condition.

  The store itself was originally meant to be bought, so it saves the trouble of finding it. This is the blood that the Bai family has shed. As for the wool, first, when entering, Li Qianhui intentionally or unintentionally reminded him, and at that time, Zhang Yang did not understand why Li Qianhui told him that Old Man Bai had many high-quality wools. Now he understands. It was originally used as a condition. Second, let the Bai family have a lesson, let Old Man Bai think carefully, and next time they provoke themselves, will they still pay more for their collection.

  Bai Fengxian fell silent, the first condition was within his expectations, and it was definitely not possible to not shed blood. The second one exceeded his expectations. These wool fabrics were his collection for many years, he really couldn't bear to part with them, asking him to give up a piece of wool fabric was like stabbing a knife in his heart, it was truly painful! Moreover, the wool fabric that Zhang Yang wanted might have top-grade jade, what if one of them turned out to be a glass variety, then he would lose big time.
