“Many things in that era couldn’t be understood. In the 1990s, the people’s thoughts were very conservative which was pretty normal. They thought that doing business wasn’t as good as a stable job. So my dad punished you because he was holding this idea from the past. In fact, he thought it was for your own good. And you have your own ideas, but your ideas, in my father’s opinion at the time, were unrealistic and fantasy.” Yang Ming looked his uncle and said, “And you, as an elder brother, can’t you be more tolerant? Did it have to turn out like this because of this small matter?”
“You are right. I have thought it through. Just let the past remain as the past.” Yang Dashan nodded and said, “Maybe I’m being too persistent.”
“Well, this matter shouldn’t be mentioned anymore. Since it’s the matter of my father’s generation, you can do whatever you want. I won’t have a say.” Yang Ming interrupted his uncle’s words. He waved his hand and said, “Uncle, what do you want to know? Just ask.”
“Yang Ming, you and Brother Bao… seem to be very familiar?” Yang Dashan nodded and asked.
” En , we are quite familiar. It’s still good.” Yang Ming said, “He didn’t mention it to you?”
“When? Did Brother Bao know our relationship as uncle and nephew?” Yang Dashan asked, puzzled.
“It was when you were kidnapped; I looked for someone to save you.” Since Yang Dashan already knew some of Yang Ming’s background, Yang Ming could now tell him what he did at that time. However, it was more concealed. He didn’t say that he did it personally, but he mentioned asking for help.
“What? That kidnapping, it was you…” Yang Dashan immediately showed a horrified expression after listening.
“Okay, don’t say this first.” Yang Ming didn’t intend to continue to talk about this topic. “Uncle, I understand what you mean, but you are a businessman. Don’t get too close to Bao Sanli. It won’t be good for your future development.”
Yang Ming seemed to be advising that his uncle shouldn’t be mingling with the underworld. But in fact, he was planning for himself. The matter that he was Mr. Y was going to be exposed soon. Yang Ming didn’t want his family to be involved in this group.
He couldn’t mingle with the underworld for a lifetime. Yang Ming’s ambition wasn’t here as well, so he didn’t want his family to get involved. What he wanted to do now was to let Bao Sanli gradually move on to legitimate businesses. After all, the underworld wasn’t a good thing. The protection fees and security fees were basically the same, but it just sounded different!
The protection fee was mandatory, and it had something to do with the underworld, but the security fee was much more legitimate. Now, many hotels and nightclubs would hire security guards from the outside. Although there were several security companies in Song Jiang, however, he believed that with Bao Sanli’s reputation, the business of Ming Yang Security Company would certainly flourish.
What Yang Ming had to do was to prevent Song Jiang from having the unstable forces that were not under his control.
“I understand what you mean… But, Yang Ming, do you know that sometimes you have to deal with people in the underworld when doing business, otherwise you might be in a difficult situation…” Yang Dashan sighed, “Let’s talk about the sand field I used to have. If there was no Brother Bao, I would have already been bullied by my neighbor and closed down my business. Since those guys knew that Brother Bao was supporting behind me, who dared to mess with me?”
“Uncle, I used to mingle with the underworld. I know what you said. Of course, except for business matters, you shouldn’t participate in other things.” Yang Ming also knew that his uncle was telling the truth. He nodded his head helplessly.
“I know. I know what I’m doing.” Yang Dashan said, “Yang Ming since you have a good relationship with Brother Bao, can you help me?”
” Oh ? Help with what?” Yang Ming asked curiously, “Isn’t your relationship with Bao Sanli good too?”
“That… we are only in a cooperative relationship…” Yang Dashan was a bit embarrassed.
“What is it?” Yang Ming frowned.
“Brother Bao wants to find someone to open up a amusement city, but there are so many people who have a relationship with Brother Bao like me. They are more capable than me, so if I want to acquire this business, it would be a little hard. “Yang Dashan said.
“Uncle, you have just set up a real estate company. Now you want to build a amusement city. You are going to fight on both sides. The business is so big. It’s not that I want to look down on you, but you better not fail by then!” Yang Ming thought that his uncle wasn’t such an impatient person. How come suddenly he had this kind of adventurous idea?
“Yang Ming, your uncle is already over forty years old. There aren’t many opportunities in my life. This is an opportunity. Your uncle has struggled for a few years but my assets have been stagnant. But this time, if I seized this opportunity, uncle’s assets will step into a new page!” Yang Dashan said, “So I want to give it a try.”
“Uncle, you may not want to hear this, but I still have to persuade you. Listen to me. Don’t fight for the amusement city. Manage your real estate company steadily, or you would regret it later!” Ming said, “I have already said this. If you still insist on doing it, then I have a word for you.”
Yang Dashan hesitated and said while clenching his teeth, “I still want to manage the amusement city. Yang Ming, help me say a few words.”
“Okay, but if you really lose your money, don’t regret it.” Yang Ming nodded and said.
“Why do you have a similar tone as your dad in the past?” Yang Dashan suddenly smiled and looked at Yang Ming.
Yang Ming also smiled and said nothing. My father’s expectations may be wrong, but what I said to uncle is really true!
Yang Ming also knew that since his uncle had made this decision, it was useless no matter how he persuaded his uncle. The reason was as his uncle said; he was already in his forties this year. There weren’t many opportunities in his life. He wanted to give it a try.
Yang Ming had done his best so he wouldn’t say any more. Yang Ming wasn’t the same as his father. He wouldn’t fight with others because of other people’s affairs.
As they both left the coffee shop, Yang Ming called Hou Zhenhan and asked about the amusement city. There was really such a thing, and as Yang Dashan said, Hou Zhenhan hadn’t confirmed the final partner yet.
“If my uncle has similar qualifications, let’s give him the right to operate.” Yang Ming told him.
“Brother Yang, your uncle’s qualifications are the worst among these people. I’m afraid that he wouldn’t be able to manage it and lose money instead.” Hou Zhenhan said with worry.
“There is no possibility of earning a profit?” Yang Ming asked.
“90% of the money is going to be lost. Yang Dashan hasn’t engaged in a similar industry, and he has just set up a real estate company. If he is distracted, he won’t do well on both sides.” Hou Zhenhan analyzed.
“Forget it. If he loses then let him be.” Yang Ming said faintly, “Just let him be.”
” Ah ? Okay.” Although Hou Zhenhan knew that Yang Ming and Yang Dashan were relatives, right now, it wasn’t just taking care of his relatives, but losing his own money!
Since Yang Ming was the boss, Hou Zhenhan had already counted the asset of Ming Yang Security Company on Yang Ming’s head. So he was very doubtful.Isn’t this is benefiting the relative only?
However, since Yang Ming had ordered it, Hou Zhenhan had to do as he was instructed. Moreover, Yang Ming had already said it. If he lost money then let him be. Then he wouldn’t take any responsibility.
Hanging up the phone, Yang Ming smiled and shook his head. This uncle is just too stubborn! After worrying for a while, Yang Ming had to comfort himself,Just think of it as fulfilling a wish for my dad!
If Yang Dashan loses money, it would really comply with the sentence of my father at that year! However, if there is such a day, would my father really be happy?
Now, he could only take one step at a time. Yang Ming took a taxi and returned home.
Zhang Weihan passed the recommendation of Yang Ming and successfully became a disciple of Liu Weishan. He was very grateful for this. He called Yang Ming several times to invite him for a meal, but Yang Ming refused.
It wasn’t that Yang Ming didn’t give him face, but that Yang Ming was too busy. He had been busy for a while, he couldn’t even rest well on New Year’s Day.
He wanted to have a good rest today, but unfortunately, troubles had looked for Yang Ming again.
After he took a shower, he planned to rest earlier. Yang Ming suddenly saw that there were more than twenty missed calls on his cell phone! Yang Ming was stunned, It’s only been ten minutes. Who made so many calls? On average, each call was thirty seconds. It still has to be called nonstop as well!
Yang Ming picked up the phone and pressed the view button. They were actually calls from his uncle, Yang Dashan! Yang Ming smiled bitterly, Was there a need to be so anxious? Just when he wanted to call, his uncle called again.
“Hello, uncle, I asked for you about that matter…” Yang Ming picked up the phone, but before he finished, he was interrupted by his uncle.
“Yang Ming, where are you? Something happened to Yang Li…” Yang Dashan said in a hurry.
