Chapter 2007 A qualitative leap

In fact, Hai Changchun is a person with no sense of security.

People in society who make their fortunes through illegal activities generally have a strong sense of insecurity. Their money comes from illegal sources, and what they do is not tolerated by the law.

The more Hai Changchun thought about it, the more uneasy he felt. He currently had only two choices. The first was to call Tang Shaoying and gather some intelligence, but doing so was extremely risky.

Tang Shaoying may not tell the truth to Hai Changchun, and he is likely to notice Hai Changchun's true intentions and speed up the process of dealing with Hai Changchun.

The second way is to quickly complete the smuggling trade while no one else is doing anything to him, get the money, and then leave directly and go abroad to enjoy life.

After thinking for a few minutes, Hai Changchun gritted his teeth and dialed Jack Liu's phone number.

At this time, this number already belonged to Zhang Maocai.

After receiving Hai Changchun's call, Zhang Maocai asked in a somewhat cold tone: "Chairman Hai has been very busy recently, how come you have time to call me?"

Hai Changchun said with a smile: "I just want to ask, when can the deal we agreed on be finalized?"

Zhang Maocai said, "I have something to do recently. I am in Yangcheng right now. Let's talk about business when I return to Chaojiang."

Hai Changchun said anxiously: "Mr. Liu, please hurry up. I'm in a hurry."

Zhang Maocai said calmly: "I see you are in high spirits, why are you in a hurry? Is there any unexpected situation? This matter is also related to my personal future, you can't hide anything from me."

Hai Changchun said with a smile: "Boss Liu, I was really busy recently. The people we contacted can't wait any longer. As you know, Chaojiang District is carrying out a 100-day crackdown campaign. Many people in this industry have no food to eat."

"I have been dragging them along based on my previous reputation, but they also have to feed their children and elderly at home. If we don't take action now, no one will help us in the future."

Zhang Maocai said, "It is your problem to find someone to help you transport the goods. We at Lu's Jade Industry are only responsible for the warehouse space and the cargo ship. Do you think I should worry about these things too?"

Hai Changchun was a little helpless. He felt that Jack Liu's attitude towards him seemed a little different. Did the other party want to break the contract?

At this moment, Hai Changchun didn't dare to offend Jack Liu, so he could only pat his chest and assure: "Don't worry, Mr. Liu, I can handle these things, and I will definitely give Mr. Liu every penny he deserves."

After that, Hai Changchun asked again tentatively: "What is Mr. Liu doing in Yangcheng? I have many friends in Yangcheng. If you need any help, Mr. Liu can tell me."

Zhang Maocai said calmly, "Please don't worry about my affairs, Chairman Hai."

Then he actually hung up the phone.

Hai Changchun was a little unsure, so he called his men and ordered them, "Pay attention to the news about Lu's Jade Industry in Yangcheng, and see who went to Yangcheng and what they did."

Zhang Maocai gave him a very bad feeling just now, and it seemed that there would be some changes in the smuggling matter.

At the critical moment, Hai Changchun had to be on guard.

On the other side, Zhang Maocai had already called Liu Fusheng and told him the content of his conversation with Hai Changchun.

Liu Fusheng praised, "Brother Zhang, Hai Changchun will definitely be fooled. Or rather, he will not be fooled, but he must act according to our ideas, because Hai Changchun already has a sufficient sense of crisis. He can only seize the opportunity to win and retreat unscathed by cooperating with Lu's Jade Industry. Otherwise, Tang Shaoying will definitely kill him."

That’s right, all the words spoken by Hong Chengli and Zhang Maocai were arranged by Liu Fusheng.

He couldn't possibly tell Hai Changchun directly that you, the fat sheep, would soon be harvested by Tang Shaoying.

Liu Fusheng could only hint at it indirectly and let Hai Changchun realize this himself, and then give him a life-saving straw, which was the Lu's Jade Group.

After Zhang Maocai finished communicating with Liu Fusheng, he followed his instructions and called Du Shan, asking her to make an appointment with Jize Minglu to meet outside Mingyue Tower.

Hai Changchun didn't know Jack Liu's "real identity", but Yoshizawa Minglu knew it, so Zhang Maocai met Miss Yoshizawa very smoothly.

Miss Yoshizawa dressed up carefully today. She smiled at Jack Liu, disguised as Zhang Maocai, across the tea table: "Boss Liu actually asked me to have tea alone?"

Zhang Maocai smiled and said, "I am just the vice president of a foreign company. I never thought I could actually date the famous Miss Yoshizawa."

Yoshizawa Minglu said with a smile: "Mr. Liu is too modest. It is actually my honor to have a date with a female classmate like you, a business elite."

Zhang Maocai shook his head and said, "Ms. Ji Ze, you are flattering me. Since you are willing to come out, you must have guessed my true identity, right?"

Yoshizawa Minglu did not deny this. She smiled and said, "Do you want me to call you Mr. Liu or Mr. Zhang?"

Zhang Maocai said calmly, "It's just a code name. Miss Yoshizawa can call it whatever she likes."

Yoshizawa Minglu nodded and said, "Then I will continue to call you Mr. Liu. After all, in my heart, Mr. Zhang of Lu's Jade Industry is an unattainable big shot."

Zhang Maocai smiled slightly: "Now that the matter has been made clear, I would also like to ask Miss Ji Ze, the real person in charge of Mingyue Tower should be you, right?"

Yoshizawa Minglu took a sip of tea gracefully and said, "What did Ms. Du Shan tell Mr. Liu?"

Zhang Maocai smiled but said nothing.

Yoshizawa Minglu sighed, "Boss Liu, there's no need to cover up for her. I was the one who asked her to tell you this. If it wasn't for this, why would Boss Liu condescend to ask me out?"

Zhang Maocai suddenly realized, "So that's how it is. Miss Ji Ze has tricked me."

Yoshizawa Minglu smiled and said, "Don't wrongly accuse me. This is not a calculation. I just have a crush on Mr. Liu. Mr. Liu's invitation to come out also proves that you have some interest in Sino-Ocean Group, doesn't it?"

Zhang Maocai was surprised and asked, "How did you know?"

Yoshizawa Minglu smiled and said, "It's just a matter of reasoning. The headquarters of Lu's Jade Industry is overseas, but it has been developing in China in recent years. And the overall development trend shows that the north is strong and the south is weak. Your group is still lagging behind in the south."

"Lü's Jade seeks to cooperate with Sino-Ocean International in the hope of making some breakthroughs by relying on the connections and influence of local companies. However, this model is far from enough for large multinational companies. What Lü's Jade needs is not a stable partner, but a foundation of its own."

"Now that Sino-Ocean International has acquired the public-private joint venture Yangjiang Line, its prestige has greatly increased. It would be great if we could acquire it."

Zhang Maocai nodded and said, "Ms. Yoshizawa is so knowledgeable about business. I am really impressed. I came to Chaojiang to investigate the market potential. I believe that once the Yangjiang line is completed, the economy of the three cities in Chaojiang will usher in a qualitative leap."
