Movie Variety Show: Starting from a New World

"The entire Dongxing Group has switched to selling this?" Gao Mingyuan was somewhat incredulous. After all, this was no small matter; it meant completely abandoning the flour business!

“That’s right. If Mr. Gao doesn’t believe me, you can ask Uncle Ben to verify it. I have no reason to lie to you about this!” Lin Yaodong said with a smile.

"If I also buy from you, how much per kilogram can you give me?" Gao Mingyuan was clearly tempted, after all, just as this man named Lin Yaodong said, this stuff was much simpler than heroin, especially since they planned to build a factory in Green Vine City.

“Mr. Gao, 350,000 yuan per kilogram is already the best price! After all, we also have to bear a considerable risk,” Lin Yaodong said.

“If you want to build a factory here, you might not have such a smooth process without my protection!” Gao Mingyuan said.

Lin Yaodong looked at the guy in front of him. Although he was cursing in his heart, his face remained unchanged. His calm and collected demeanor made Gao Mingyuan feel that the guy in front of him was a seasoned veteran.

"We can only offer you a discount of 2,000 yuan per kilogram at most! There's nothing we can do for you that's more!" Lin Yaodong said.

"Sure!" Gao Mingyuan said with a hearty laugh.

Actually, Gao Mingyuan wasn't trying to haggle; he just wanted to save face. In Green Vine City, no matter what kind of business it was, people had to give him face, otherwise, he couldn't continue doing business with the company.

"Then, Mr. Gao, it's settled! Our factory will be under construction soon! At that time, there will be a steady stream of high-purity ice that will allow you to make a fortune!" Lin Yaodong raised his glass and clinked it with Gao Mingyuan's.

After Lin Yaodong left, Gao Mingyuan picked up the phone and called Zhao Lidong.

"District Chief Zhao, a Hong Kong businessman told you today that he wants to invest here?" Gao Mingyuan asked.

"Boss Gao is very well-informed!" Zhao Lidong said with a smile.

“This person has already come to me to pay his respects, so the district can let him go!” Gao Mingyuan said with a smile.

"Boss Gao must have made a lot of money this time, right?" Zhao Lidong asked with a gleam in his eyes and a smile.

“No this time, because that person came with a friend’s recommendation. But you can rest assured, District Chief Zhao, what’s mine is yours! Don’t worry!” Gao Mingyuan said.

"By the way, Boss Gao, how's the matter I asked you to investigate going?" Zhao Lidong asked seriously.

"Are you talking about that guy named Zhao Weinong?" Gao Mingyuan asked.

“That’s right!” Zhao Lidong gritted his teeth in hatred when he heard Zhao Weinong’s name.

Although he is now the district head, this position is only at the level of a regular division chief, which is incomparable to Zhao Weinong's level of a provincial-level official.

Moreover, he has already spent most of his time in Zhongjiang Province. If he wants to be promoted, he will have to leave. After all, his older brother Zhao Ligen is still working in Zhongjiang. It is impossible for the two brothers to serve in the same province at the same time, especially if they reach a high position.

“District Chief Zhao, according to my investigation, the connections behind Zhao Weinong must be very complicated, right? Do you think we can touch him? I advise you to give up!” Gao Mingyuan said.

“If he can’t deal with Zhao Weinong, does that mean he can’t touch his men either? Then Boss Gao’s abilities are questionable!” Zhao Lidong said.

“Hehe, District Chief Zhao, there’s no need to provoke us. We can’t touch Zhao Weinong, but his henchmen are easy to deal with! They’re supposedly investing 1 billion yuan to build some kind of entertainment complex, which gives us plenty of opportunities to make our move!” Gao Mingyuan said.

"Great! Great! Finally, I have a chance to teach that Zhao Weinong a lesson!" Zhao Lidong was so happy he almost jumped up on the spot.

“If I help District Chief Zhao get things done, will he also introduce Secretary Zhao to me? You know, Handong Province is much more developed than Zhongjiang Province!” Gao Mingyuan said.

"Don't worry about this. As long as you handle things well, I will definitely bring you to my brother!" Zhao Lidong couldn't care less about anything else now; he was already very satisfied.

Remember that you wanted to take action against Zhao Weinong, but unfortunately you didn't have the power at the time, so you had to bear the responsibility.

Now that Zhao Lidong has made contact with Gao Mingyuan, he can finally unleash his full potential, and dealing with Zhao Weinong can also be put on the agenda.

After all this time, Gao Mingyuan was still dragging his feet, and only under duress did he finally decide to take action against Zhao Weinong's men. This left Zhao Lidong feeling somewhat uneasy.

However, considering that Zhao Weinong had a figure even more powerful than his elder brother standing behind him, Zhao Lidong really had no choice.

My own brother won't help me, and even the gangsters I found won't do anything. Am I just supposed to keep this to myself?

“District Chief Zhao, I feel like you’ve gone a bit mad. I’ve looked into that Zhao Weinong, and you know he has a deputy commander standing behind him, yet you’re still going against him? I must say, District Chief Zhao, you’re pretty audacious!” Gao Mingyuan said with a smile.

“Cutting off someone’s livelihood is like killing their parents! This guy has cut off his own path to promotion and even kicked me out of Jinghai! How could I possibly accept this?” Zhao Lidong’s face was somewhat ferocious.

Gao Mingyuan curled his lip, secretly sighing that Zhao Lidong was truly short-sighted and incredibly vindictive! However, it was precisely because Gao Mingyuan grasped this point that he was able to drag Zhao Lidong into the mess.

Moreover, in Gao Mingyuan's view, Zhao Lidong's problems were a good starting point; otherwise, how could he have brought this District Chief Zhao into his camp?

“District Chief Zhao, if I can help you sabotage that project, then I’m doing you a favor! Don’t forget about me, Gao Mingyuan!” Gao Mingyuan said.

"Don't worry! I won't let you work for nothing!" Zhao Lidong said.

“Alright, you focus on getting that Hong Kong businessman’s investment implemented first, and I’ll send someone to Jingzhou to see how things go! Don’t let anyone else know about this, after all, that’s a real high-level official!” Gao Mingyuan reminded him.

He was also afraid that Zhao Lidong might act rashly, because although he was arrogant, he wasn't arrogant enough to ignore a real high-level executive!

"I know! You don't need to worry about that!" Zhao Lidong said and hung up the phone. He felt a little pleasure in his heart. He could finally get a little revenge on Zhao Weinong. This gave Zhao Lidong goosebumps all over his body.

After leaving Gao Mingyuan's nightclub, Lin Yaodong began to contact Lu Shaohua, who was far away in the Pearl River Delta.

"Brother Hua, everything's been arranged. The investment will be located in Lvteng City, Zhongjiang Province! And I've also negotiated the price with Gao Mingyuan: 348,000 yuan per kilogram!" Lin Yaodong said.

“Alright, then you go back to Tazhai and gather two trustworthy people to do the preliminary work in Lvteng City. Once I’ve finished this batch of goods, I’ll head over!” Lu Shaohua said.
