Chapter 913: Chapter 954: Fish-Man Second Generation

"Fish Brother, do me a favor."

"What’s up?" the other side asked with an arrogant tone, "What good could possibly come out of you contacting me now?"

Zhao Shenggang furrowed his brows. The person he was dealing with was nicknamed Second Generation Fishman, a bastard who wouldn’t spit out even a bone after swallowing someone whole. Even when dealing with relatively close friends in business, he wouldn’t hesitate to cheat them, but this guy was indeed powerful in Mile City. If he could get his help, Zhao would stand a better chance. However, he knew it would definitely cost him a lot, but thinking of what was left, it would still be more, and despite the pain, he had no choice but to reach out to him. He chuckled and said, "Fish Brother, I’ve got a good business opportunity. Want a piece of it?"

"A good business? What good business could you possibly have now, managing a failing Steelmaking Plant that’s always out of operation?"

"Fish Brother, it’s about the Steelmaking Plant. I’m going to take over this place, and I want to ask for more money."

"Taking over land? Looks like you’re about to make a fortune," Second Generation Fishman’s voice clearly excited.

"Fish Brother, the situation with the land is not simple; I’m worried I can’t handle it alone, so that’s why I need your help."

"Sure, help or no help, you just tell me, and can Second Generation Fishman turn a blind eye to it?"

Zhao Shenggang almost cursed his mother, this guy had not shown this attitude just a moment ago. Seeing the profit, he immediately switched to enthusiasm and righteousness. Suppressing his irritation, Zhao continued, "Then Fish Brother, he wants me to give him an answer tomorrow, let’s discuss this properly, brother."

"Okay, where are you? I’ll come right over."

"I’m at the Steelmaking Plant."

"Alright, half an hour, no, I’ll be there in twenty minutes."

"Damn!" After hanging up, Zhao Shenggang couldn’t help but curse.

The worried underlings beside him said, "Big Brother, Second Generation Fishman is extremely greedy. Is it really okay to involve him?"

Zhao Shenggang sighed and said, "There’s no other way. If we don’t involve Second Generation Fishman, dealing with that guy by myself, he’d only give me thirty million, but if we involve Second Generation Fishman, even if we ask for a billion, giving Fishman thirty million, wouldn’t I still come out ahead?"

"That makes sense." The underlings did the math and ceased their objections.

In less than twenty minutes, a large off-road jeep charged into the Steelmaking Plant, and a burly man about thirty, standing nearly six feet tall and with an approachable appearance, jumped out.

He was Second Generation Fishman. Despite his harmless appearance, his heart was dark, having deceived many with his looks and left them in dire straits.

"Fish Brother, you arrived really quickly," Zhao Shenggang greeted warmly.

Second Generation Fishman revealed an honest smile and patted Zhao Shenggang’s shoulder, saying, "Bros will be bros, how could I not come when you’re in trouble? That would hardly be friendly."

"A friend, my ass," Zhao Shenggang cursed silently, saying, "Yeah, it’s great Fish Brother is so reliable. I didn’t approach anyone else but you for this."

Second Generation Fishman nodded repeatedly, saying, "You did the right thing in finding me, I’ll definitely sort this out for you."

Once inside the office, Second Generation Fishman asked Zhao Shenggang about the details, and Zhao recounted the situation roughly. After hearing everything, Second Generation Fishman’s face twitched twice, asking, "Bro, how much money do you want?"

"I want two billion, but that guy is only willing to give me thirty million."

"Two billion, that’s really too much, nobody would agree to that. What is your bottom line?"

"Well, I was thinking, at least a billion. Thirty million is the least I’ll take, and the rest of the money, we brothers can split."

"Oh..." Second Generation Fishman lit a cigarette and said slowly, "It looks like the other party is pretty big too. This might not be so easy to handle, it will really take some effort."

Zhao Shenggang immediately understood what Fish Brother meant and said, "Fish Brother, rest assured, we’ll keep business and personal matters separate. Helping me requires your manpower, and folks need to be paid. If it’s done, anything above thirty million, we split 70-30. If it’s an extra ten million, I’ll give you three million."

Fish Brother didn’t even blink and said, "Bro, I can’t explain such a split to my guys. You already have a base of thirty million, and the extra needs my guys’ help for you to make any money, right? If I don’t help, do you think you can make more? Let’s do this, I take seventy, you take thirty."

"Damn!" Zhao Shenggang almost cursed out loud. Fish Brother was really going for the larger share, but he couldn’t afford to get angry. With a bitter smile, he said, "Fish Brother, we can’t joke about this. How about I make another concession? I take sixty, you take forty. How about that?"

"That won’t do. If I’m getting less than you, I can’t do it. Why not find someone else?"

Zhao Shenggang gritted his teeth and said, "Fine, let’s split fifty-fifty. Fish Brother, that’s the fairest I can go. Without my Steelmaking Plant, there wouldn’t even be this opportunity. You still want me to take the lesser share? I wouldn’t be able to face my peers after this."

Fish Brother looked at Zhao Shenggang and knew this was probably Zhao’s final offer but still reluctantly said, "Alright then, let’s go fifty-fifty."

Finally, they agreed on the terms. Zhao Shenggang called Li Yifei and told him to come over at nine the next morning. Li Yifei simply said "Okay" and hung up.

"This guy is really something. What does he do?" Fish Brother wondered.

Zhao Shenggang, fearing Fish Brother might refuse to help, quickly said, "He’s quite wealthy, came from out of town. He’s interested in this place and wants to set up a factory."

"Damn! An outsider? That’s even better. The strong dragon can’t suppress the local snake. If he wants to make a move here and doesn’t pay us, he can forget about mixing here."

Although Zhao didn’t want to reveal what Li Yifei was capable of, fearing Fish Brother might back out, he also worried Fish Brother was being too careless. "I hear the guy is tough. Fish Brother, you’d better bring more people. If he brings a few more, I’m afraid we can’t handle it."

Fish Brother shook his head and said, "Man, this job isn’t easy. Even splitting fifty-fifty, I’m at a loss. The risk is too high."

Zhao Shenggang secretly despised Fish Brother’s cowardice but still smiled and said, "When has Fish Brother ever failed to handle a job? Stop pulling my leg."

Having flattered Fish Brother considerably, Fish Brother did not object further or make more demands. Deep down, he understood that a fifty-fifty split was a great deal. If it were anyone else from Mile City’s underworld, they would happily lend a hand for a chance at millions—just setting up a simple deal could bring huge profits. So, he didn’t push Zhao too hard, afraid that turning to someone else would be a huge loss for him.

The next morning, Fish Brother brought over thirty associates, all armed, while Zhao Shenggang gathered about twenty people. Altogether, nearly sixty people—quite an imposing assembly—were convinced that with so many, Li Yifei wouldn’t dare defy them.

As it approached nine o’clock, a Land Rover pulled up to the factory gates, causing Fish Brother to frown and ask, "Shenggang, didn’t you say he was dealing with you over some underworld business? Why has only one car come?"

Zhao Shenggang was also puzzled and said, "Yes, that’s what he said. What does this mean?"

The door of the Land Rover opened, and three people jumped out first. Then, someone went to open the rear door on the right side, a hand shielding the car window, and Li Yifei then got out of the car, followed by the three men. Each man was tall and dressed in sharp suits, completely ignoring the dozens of people there with an aura that dwarfed all the hoodlums present by miles.

Fish Brother’s eyes lit up. Now, that’s charisma! He thought to himself that he should really teach his guys to be this impressive. Although his crew was good at flattering, they lacked any real presence, failing to reflect his own status.

The four walked up to where Zhao Shenggang and Fish Brother had already planned their move. Without needing a signal, the sixty people suddenly surrounded Li Yifei and his group, forming three layers inside and out, but it was chaotic—these hoodlums lacked any real organization.

Yet, Li Yifei and his three companions didn’t move an inch, their faces showing no panic. Their calm and composed demeanor impressed both Fish Brother and Zhao Shenggang; surrounded by so many, they kept their cool.

Looking back at their own lackeys, Zhao Shenggang and Fish Brother felt embarrassed—how did they seem like such a ragtag bunch compared to the real heavyweights opposite them? It seemed like their show of force was having no effect; instead, they just looked like a bunch of country bumpkins.

"Kid, you’ve got guts, coming here with just three men," Fish Brother, eager to assert himself, stepped forward with hands clasped behind his back.

However, his attempt paled in comparison to Li Yifei’s poise; it felt more like a misshapen imitation than a show of force.

Li Yifei calmly looked at Fish Brother and slowly said, "Make way."

Fish Brother, who had never encountered someone so imposing, was momentarily at a loss on how to respond. His usual tricks suddenly seemed useless.
