CHAPTER 1011 THE BLACK SHEEP

Gao Shou was immediately somewhat embarrassed.

He already got up halfway, so it didn't seem right for him to stand, but neither was it right for him to sit. He suddenly wasn't sure of what to do.

"Since you're already here, you're considered a friend, and we can certainly talk business. What do you think, Mr Gao?” said Mo Bei as he saved him from further embarrassment. Mr Gao then sat down with a face full of smiles and didn't seem awkward at all.

"Mr Mo, I am impressed by your broadmindedness," said Gao Shou as he sat down and looked at Mo Bei,. "And that's why you were the first person that came to mind when I had this highly profitable deal. Given the big shot that you are, I think I can trust you."

Mo Bei merely smiled without saying a word. Content © 2024.

He adjusted his suit. There was a calm smile on his mature face as he waited for

Gao Shou to go on.

Mo Bei had a lot of experience with business deals. Since someone had come knocking on his door, he ought to firmly control the way the deal went.

He already got wind of Xishan's situation. The loss of support from the powerful northern families must have a major impact on Gao Shou.

And since Gao Shou had already come looking for him so quickly, something pretty bad must have happened.

The Mo family always believed in being in the top position. They didn't want to be connected to any of those powerful families in the north at all. Once they had ultimate control, even those powerful

northern families had to give them a degree of respect!

Just like the Tan family in the northern mountains. They were very strong with many skilled fighters, so all the powerful families in the north had to be nice to them if they wanted anything from the Tan family.

"Mr Mo, you might not know this yet, but problems will brew in Tongshan soon!"

Wily foxes like Gao Shou knew how Mo Bei's mind worked.

When it came to business, it was particularly important to control the conversation.

"Oh, is that so? What kind of problems? Why am I unaware?" said Mo Bei calmly.

"There was a huge change in Xishan, so I'm certain it won't take long for this to affect Tongshan as well," said Gao Shou directly. "My mining company is now the property of Lin Group from Donghai, and this Lin Group is a black sheep!"

"What do you mean by that?”

Of course Mo Bei knew a little about what happened.

The powerful families that backed Gao Shou and the others lost some fight, so they had to hand over the mining company in Xishan to Lin Group.

He was unaware of the specifics, but it was unimportant.

Such things were common with the powerful northern families.

"Mr Mo, we both operate mines. The most important thing in the business is mining. How can we survive without the workers doing it? But now, it's impossible to just pay them peanuts and make them slave for us!"

Mo Bei furrowed his brows a little.

Low-level workers like the miners indeed formed the backbone of their business. How could the ores hidden deep within the mountains be obtained without miners?

All the mining and transport had to be done by miners.

If they couldn't be controlled, then the cost of production would rise significantly!

Cost and profit meant everything to businessmen.

"Now dozens of mines in Xishan have already formed labor unions. And Lin Group allowed self- management of mining zones. Also, they only require 70% of the profit to be submitted. The remaining 30% now goes to bonuses, scholarships, and night schools to help educate their workers."

There was a trace of disdain on Gao Shou's face, "Lin Group has been operating honorable businesses for too long and now they think these miners are the same as those white-collar workers."
