The turmoil in Xianglong International continued.
Not only was Liu Jin Cui’s dance hall taken away.
The business of the grinding mill was even more sought after.
Almost everyone, regardless of whether they were original shareholders, wanted to take a bite of the fat.
This naturally included Uncle Cai.
"Master, I have something important to report."
Uncle Cai stood before Chen Tai, nervously rubbing his hands.
After he finished explaining his plans, Chen Tai looked a little surprised.
"You want to borrow people?"
"That's right, I want to cause some trouble at the grinding mill."
Uncle Cai took out a simple map.
"The business over at the grinding mill isn't exclusive to Xianglong International."
"But Xianglong International has secured the mineral quota by bribing the Bo Mo Army."
With Uncle Cai’s explanation, Chen Tai gained a thorough understanding of the situation at the grinding mill.
The mining business wasn't simple.
Especially in this chaotic Zen Nation.
Everything, from mining rights, passage rights, to annual quotas, created a series of phenomena.
Some people mined ore but couldn't sell it.
Some didn't have mines but had ore to sell.
Some roads were only accessible to one company's vehicles.
Other companies had to take detours.
It was incredibly complex.
At the grinding mill, Xianglong International was the only company that had previously cleared all the obstacles.
"However, things changed rapidly after President Chen went into the ICU."
Uncle Cai explained.
"Originally, several local large mercenary organizations were hired by Xianglong International."
Zhou Bin was actually the head of a mercenary organization.
He was fostered by President Chen and was considered a confidant.
But mercenaries, they do what they’re paid to do, right?
They were very enthusiastic when fighting a winning battle, but if they encountered the Min Di Wu, they’d be… well, you know.
"Since President Chen was unconscious, they couldn't get paid, so they were bribed by other shareholders."
These shareholders were primarily fighting over the grinding mill’s quota.
They were also entangled with many other forces.
"Like Ban Long, he has agents at the grinding mill, otherwise, he wouldn't be able to support his military expenses."
"He has now also gained the support of Luan Ba Song and vows to open up the Mekong River section controlled by Luo Yang."
"He's been quite active in the recent commotion."
After listening to Uncle Cai’s introduction, Chen Tai fell into thought.
His fingers tapped lightly on the table, once, twice, thrice.
"You want to get involved as well?"
He asked.
Uncle Cai nodded.
"Master, did you know about what happened at the grinding mill a while back?"
He stared intently at Chen Tai's expression as he spoke, as if trying to confirm something.
But unfortunately, Chen Tai didn't show any emotion.
Instead, he asked with interest, "What happened? Tell me about it."
"The mine was haunted!"
Uncle Cai sighed, "Wu Hai Shan, Boss Wu, was an acquaintance of mine. I heard he was scared to death on the day of the haunting."
"And his foreman, Gan Ting."
"The haunting lasted for almost a month. It had a significant impact on President Chen's business."
"Ban Long also lost half a month's wages."
"It's said that many of his men wanted to defect to the Bo Mo Federation, including Mu Yaozi."
"What happened after that?" Chen Tai continued to ask.
Uncle Cai chuckled, "Later, the haunting at the mine subsided."
"But the gambling market was haunted by mountain ghosts."
"It's said that many locals died."
"President Chen sent two mercenary groups to maintain order."
"As soon as they sorted things out there, he got into trouble."
Uncle Cai shrugged, "Those two mercenary groups are now squatting at the grinding mill, waiting for someone to make an offer. Whoever pays the most gets them."
"Interesting, interesting." Chen Tai nodded, "So you want to borrow people to drive them away?"
Uncle Cai shook his head, "I want the mine to be haunted again!"
He stretched out his hand, and his five fingers gradually turned black.
"I can still play the ghost with my current skills, but my power is limited, so I want Master to lend me a few more people."
"We currently don't have any stake in the grinding mill. We have no mining rights, passage rights, or sales rights."
"So we need to shut down the mine first. If it stops for a few months, someone will definitely crack under the pressure!"
"Then we can buy it at a low price."
"Until we take over the entire grinding mill!"
His plan and ideas were sound.
If it were Chen Tai, he would probably do the same.
But.
"Are you willing to leave Da Ban for a few months? Leave your brothers behind?"
Chen Tai asked.
Uncle Cai smiled mysteriously, "I believe Master has a backup plan."
"Hey, old man, you're playing tricks on me."
Chen Tai waved his hand at him, "You don't need to go yourself, the grinding mill will be haunted on time."
Uncle Cai immediately bowed his head, "I'll do as Master commands."
…
Just as Uncle Cai left, someone else came knocking.
"Fourth Master?"
Chen Tai was startled when he heard the name.
He turned to Su Su and asked, "Haven't you given him his quota for this quarter?"
Fourth Master was originally the leader of the Bazigo.
He was also Chen Tai's first trading partner after coming here.
So Chen Tai was quite considerate of him.
Although Chen Tai had incorporated the Bazigo and the little brothers they sent to monitor him.
But after all, they hadn't broken off ties.
So, they just continued their normal business dealings.
But Fourth Master wasn't stupid either.
Although the people he sent back consistently reported that everything was normal.
Similar pills appeared in Long Country.
He knew something was wrong.
But a 枭雄 is a 枭雄, he endured it.
It was a good situation for everyone. Chen Tai's power wouldn't reach the level of Sister Ma for a while.
But today, for some reason, the other party came knocking.
"Then bring him in."
Chen Tai instructed Su Su.
