CHAPTER 968 MAKE THEM GIVE UP

Gao Shou laughed, "They are here to take what belongs to them. How can it be considered bad news?"

"You're willing to give it to them?"

"You mean you think you could hold onto it?"

Xie Zhen was a little annoyed.

"I'm serious here. Don't crack jokes with me at a time like this. Of course I don't want to hand it over. We fought for this territory, so why should we give it up to someone else?" he sneered unhappily.

Although their starting capital came from those powerful families, they were the ones who ran it all these years.

They suffered so much, withstood immense pressure, and almost died so many times. How could they hand over something they fought tooth and nail for?

No one would be happy about giving it away or even willing to do such a thing.

"Xie, we can't do things like we used to and rely only on violence," Gao Shou smiled. "Our status is different now. We're no longer people in the illegal circle who can't do anything else but fight for survival. If you can't change your mindset, it's hard to broaden your view on the state of affairs, understand?"

He often used the three words 'state of affairs'.

Xie Zhen was sick of hearing it.

What could he do with knowledge of the situation?

All he wanted was money!

He wanted women!

He wanted status!

He didn't care about the situation since he could neither put it in his mouth nor have fun with it. Xie Zhen felt it was completely meaningless.

'Just tell me straight. How do you want to deal with this situation?"

"From the legal perspective, Black Star Mining belongs to Lin Group. We can't stop them from taking it back." Xie Zhen's expression darkened after just a few words from Gao Shou. "Don't get anxious. Hear me out.”

"It's only right for them to take it back, so we have to cooperate. This is the law, so we must abide by it."

"But in reality, it's not that easy for them to take it from us. Would they be capable of controlling it even if we agreed to hand it over?"

Gao Shou smiled with a meaningful look on his face, "We ran Xishan for so many years. Don't you know that the company isn't the only thing we run?"

"Even if Lin Group takes it back, they won't be able to take it when problems start to surface. Would they dare to spend a lot of resources in this place? It would pull Lin Group under!"

Xie Zhen's eyes gleamed. "You're going to make them give it up?"

Gao Shou smiled without speaking and nodded gently.

"But now the workers listen to everything they say and even set up a labor union. Things will get tricky."

"Hoho, you're overthinking it," said Gao Shou calmly, "I heard that Lin Yuzhen from Lin Group is a very naive and kind woman. She helped those workers because she found them pitiful, and was even willing to sacrifice profit to help them. I'm really quite impressed by her, but from the business perspective, she's very dumb."

Any company was set up for profit. Why should they care about how the workers at the lowest levels are doing? Feeding them was already kindness on their part.

They found Lin Yuzhen's actions hilarious even. Content © 2024.

It was alright to be kind in life, but one couldn't afford to be kind when running a

business.

Gao Shou scoffed gently and said gleefully, "She might not understand that pitiful people must have done something to deserve it!"
