Only after being reborn did I realize how fascinating the world of the rich is.

Cao Jinpeng said earnestly, "If you want to reconcile with Lao San, there is definitely a chance. The key is whether you can now put yourselves in the right position and stop fantasizing about being on equal footing with him. You need to lower your stance."

Don't feel embarrassed. You are Qin Kai's subordinates. I don't know how powerful the Qin family is, but just talking about Qin Kai's current strength, can he compare to the third brother?

Haven't you noticed? Le Mengyao is also from the port area, but her attitude towards Lao San is noticeably different from her attitude towards Qin Kai. Haven't you wondered why?

Lu Zhendong sighed and said, "Sigh, after going around in circles, in the end we have to fawn over Lao San. If we could, that would be fine, but look at Lao San's attitude now, it's probably hopeless!"

Cheng Zhiyuan retorted somewhat indignantly, "You said it yourself, the third brother is treating us like employees now. We're all just employees, so why should we work for him?"

Cao Jinpeng sighed and said, "This is society, this is reality. Everyone is together for the sake of interests. Only when we have common interests can we have a basis for cooperation."

Since that's what you all think, I think the other suggestion the third brother gave us isn't something we can't ignore!

"What advice?"

"It's about the few of us working together to set up a few peripheral construction companies outside the Qin Group. Then, the two of you, together with Wei Jianjun, will take projects from within the Qin Group and work on them!"

When the time comes, I'll provide the money, and you'll provide the labor. We'll agree on the profit-sharing ratio beforehand, cooperate on a project basis, and clearly define the responsibilities. We'll split the profits immediately after the project ends to avoid disagreements later.

I've seen it. Qin Kai is a spoiled brat who's always chasing after high-class things. Even if he knows we're making extra money, as long as it's not excessive, he won't say anything.

Anyway, these projects would be given to whoever they're given to. We're locals, and that guy surnamed Qin is from out of town. If we want the projects to go smoothly, we'll have to rely on us locals, don't you think?

Lu Zhendong said somewhat dejectedly, "Sigh, I was stupid. I gave up running a perfectly good construction company and insisted on coming here to cooperate with someone else. Now look what's happened, I have to start all over again!"

Cao Jinpeng comforted him, "You can't say that. Our family's real estate company went bankrupt, didn't it? The cost of acquiring land is getting higher and higher, and there's nothing we can do about it."

If your construction company wants to survive, it also needs to get projects. But now there are more and more construction companies, are projects so easy to get?

Especially those large construction companies with state-owned enterprise backgrounds, can your small construction company, the Lü family, compare to their connections and overall strength?

In today's society, survival comes first, and making money is the most important thing, don't you think?

Cheng Zhiyuan slapped his thigh and said with a little excitement, "The boss is right, let's do it this way. Since they are unwilling to bring us along, let's bring the Wei family over as well, and we can all stick together and keep warm!"

Although our financial strength cannot compare with others, if we join forces, we can still make a splash in Shanghai. When we have more money or find someone to bring in some investment, we can continue to open the chain of nightclubs.

Actually, the problem before was that we weren't united. If we were united, we wouldn't earn less than Lao San. The profits from nightclubs are higher, much better than him struggling in some manufacturing business!

"Second brother, what do you say?"

"I think Lao Si's suggestion is good. Since we can't do any big projects, let's join forces and make money quietly. Maybe we can really make a lot of money!"

"Alright, let's get right to it. I'll contact Wei Jianjun right now and get him involved!"

......

In a private room at the XXXXX nightclub, Wei Jianjun was quite tempted after listening to the suggestions of several people.

He nodded and said with a slightly serious tone, "What you guys said makes sense. Since this guy surnamed Qin wants to make money from our mainland, why can't we make money off him?"

Cheng Zhiyuan was overjoyed and quickly asked, "So you mean you're willing to cooperate with us?"

Wei Jianjun smiled meaningfully, adopting a magnanimous and ambitious demeanor, and said, "Cooperation is certainly no problem, but I think we should bring in two more people!"

"who?"

"They're both your wives!"

Wei Jianjun grinned slyly, then explained in a slightly more serious tone, "The Shen family has such powerful connections in local industries. Isn't it a waste that you're letting others use them instead of using them yourselves?"

Lu Zhendong and Cheng Zhiyuan both looked at him with black lines on their faces, saying nothing.

Wei Jianjun said with a grin, "If Qin Kai wants to get into real estate, he will inevitably have to deal with those officials within the system. The two Shen sisters have his life in their hands!"

"If we bring the Shen sisters in as well, it will definitely be safer. And then we can not only bring in business from the Qin Group, but also some business from other companies!"

At this point, Wei Jianjun smiled at the two men and continued, "Brothers, you have to be more open-minded. It's better to share happiness than to enjoy it alone. As long as you have money, why worry about not having women?"

These two women aren't ordinary women. You can't really treat them like your wives. Think of them as business partners. Doesn't that make things much clearer?

Cao Jinpeng glanced at the two of them and chimed in, "I don't think it's a big problem. Nowadays, many people do their own thing and spend their own money, and no one interferes with anyone else. That's great!"

"Once you make money, you'll have everything. You have a formal relationship with Jiayi and Jiaqi, so your cooperation is more reliable than with others, isn't it?"

Lu Zhendong and Cheng Zhiyuan exchanged a glance. Although they felt a little uncomfortable, they knew they couldn't control their wives even if they wanted to.

However, considering that both of their wives were involved, it's like their family received an extra share of the money, so it's not bad overall.

Wei Jianjun smiled with satisfaction and said, "That's right. Alright, the business is over. It feels a bit strange for a bunch of grown men to come here and just drink. We should call over a few girls to have some fun."

Also, let's call Jiayi and Jiaqi over too. If everyone talks things out, it will be easier to handle things in the future, right?

Zhendong, Zhiyuan, don't be so pessimistic. We're sticking together for warmth now, so we must work together, otherwise we'll be left behind by that nouveau riche Li Xiaofeng!

Lü Zhendong and Cheng Zhiyuan both nodded at the same time.
