Chapter 725: 720 Does Old Yuan make jewelry?

"Next time Boss Gu comes, I will definitely welcome you from afar,"

he said to Gu Chen with a chuckling smile.

It felt as if he really took Gu Chen as a very important guest.

"I heard that Boss Gu has a Baijiu industry planning to enter Haicheng?"

He suddenly asked Gu Chen this question.

Gu Chen instantly became vigilant; he hadn’t expected that Xiong Qianyang would know so much about him.

Even the information about his small Baijiu company entering Haicheng was known to him.

And he, as a director of the small Baijiu company, had just recently made this decision.

Now, even the first step hadn’t been implemented yet, and yet Xiong Qianyang seemed to know everything.

This made Gu Chen look at Xiong Qianyang with guarded eyes, unsure what this guy really wanted.

"Please don’t get me wrong, Boss Gu. I have indeed been paying more attention to you lately because I am very interested in your Ping’an Real Estate. At that time, among so many people, you could confidently claim

that there would not be a single flaw in your Ping’an Real Estate!"

At that moment, I felt that Boss Gu, you were definitely not an ordinary person.

So I took a closer interest because I am a person who greatly values talent, and I really appreciate someone with such commendable courage in the business world,"

Xiong Qianyang then explained to Gu Chen.

It seemed he had noticed the wariness in Gu Chen’s eyes.

"If it’s a business tactic, just say it’s a business tactic; why make it sound so noble and grand?"

Old Yuan commented disdainfully from the side, seemingly looking down upon Xiong Qianyang and thinking him very hypocritical.

"Hahaha, Boss Yuan, you jest,"

responded Xiong Qianyang, without taking the remark too seriously, and certainly not getting angry.

It felt as though no matter what Old Yuan said, he would never get upset.

"Boss Yuan, I’d also like to ask you a question. Are you interested in picking up the jewelry business again? I’ve been keeping an eye on this industry and indeed have some plans for further development.

However, I am currently short on reliable people. If Boss Yuan you don’t mind, we could invest, you could exert the effort: we take 30%, you take 70%. How about we team up and start a jewelry company together? What do you think?"

Originally the conversation was about Gu Chen, but as they talked, it suddenly shifted to Old Yuan.

Old Yuan seemed not to expect that Xiong Qianyang would offer him an olive branch at this time.

But Old Yuan’s face didn’t show much sincerity.

It was as if he regarded Xiong Qianyang’s words as mere hot air.

"Not interested. I’m afraid my 70% won’t be of much use either; if you say I’ll be pushed out eventually, then I’ll still be pushed out,"

Old Yuan said, his voice heavy with grievance.

Xiong Qianyang became very serious upon hearing this.

"On such a matter of principle, Boss Yuan, we cannot afford to joke. Since I chose to seek you out, it is because I believe in your abilities. Offering 70% is also to show my sincerity towards you,"

he told Old Yuan earnestly.

Listening from the side, Gu Chen felt like Xiong Qianyang seemed to be serious.

It appeared he truly wanted to cooperate with Old Yuan.

But Old Yuan wasn’t at all interested in accepting his favor.

"Forget it, I’m doing quite well now. I’m just earning a bit of money through understanding, and that’s enough to feed my family,"

he said to Xiong Qianyang, expressing no interest in the proposed partnership.

Seeing Old Yuan’s reaction, Xiong Qianyang decided not to persist any longer.

Instead, he turned the conversation back to Gu Chen.

"Boss Gu, it’s like this, you’re unfamiliar with Haicheng.

Just so happens I owe you a favor.

So how about this, regarding the little white liquor company matter.

You don’t need to worry, I will take care of everything for you.

Whether it’s paperwork or procedures, it will all be managed by me.

At the same time, I will help you find a factory at no cost, so you can be up and running quickly after you enter Haicheng."

"Consider it my way of apologizing for what those three nightclub bosses did to you, and also for today’s inadequate hospitality, to offer you my apologies."

He was saying this to Gu Chen at the time.

Upon hearing this, Gu Chen frowned, not knowing what this guy was really thinking.

Helping for free, without wanting anything in return, is that possible?

Based on Gu Chen’s own intuition, such things are basically nonexistent.

If it were an ordinary person, maybe he would be this kind-hearted.

But there’s a saying that goes, no businessman is honest.

Given Xiong Qianyang’s demeanor, Gu Chen found it very hard to view him as a good person.

No matter from which angle, Xiong Qianyang did not seem like an upstanding individual.

Yet, Xiong Qianyang appeared to be very serious, as if he truly expected nothing else in return.

In such a circumstance, Gu Chen even didn’t know what to do.

"Boss Gu, don’t overthink it. Even if we don’t have a chance to cooperate in the future, just making a friend, I believe you wouldn’t refuse, right?

Having more friends means more paths, having more enemies means a wall.

If not for those three nightclub bosses, you and I would have no grudges or hate, correct?

So, why should we consider each other enemies.

If we become friends, make money together, mutually benefit from cooperation, wouldn’t that be better?

I don’t kill people’s parents nor do I steal people’s wealth.

I just enjoy doing a bit of business and making friends with like-minded individuals.

Your character and mine are very similar, so since that’s the case,

why not turn hostility into peace? Let’s forget about the nightclub bosses.

Of course, if you really can’t get over it, I’ll go speak to them, have them give the nightclubs directly to you. Would that let you feel my sincerity?"

Xiong Qianyang was very serious when saying this to Gu Chen, and after he finished, Gu Chen was somewhat embarrassed.

According to what he said, if Gu Chen still clung to the issue, it would make him seem petty.

This left Gu Chen unsure of what to say for a moment.

He always felt as if he was the one in the wrong.

"Xiong Qianyang, don’t use your schemes on my brother.

My brother is honest and sincere but not so easy to bully.

You helped him today, but who knows what cost he might have to pay tomorrow to repay you?

Others may be fooled, but I’m not.

You, Xiong Qianyang, are someone who wouldn’t get up early without a profit.

To you, anyone who can be used will be won over; in the end, you just want to use my brother, right?"

What Gu Chen hadn’t expected was that while the conversation had been going well, suddenly it had turned confrontational.
