"We need more money!"
Andre said with a serious and righteous expression, a sentence that made Wang Yu smile knowingly.
So all the previous mumbling and the so-called considerations were just for this?
"Price is not an issue, we can talk about it. But it's getting late now, and you've all traveled a long way and are tired. Why don't you rest first?
We can talk slowly tomorrow, how about it?"
Wang Yu proposed with a smile.
This suggestion was naturally met with unanimous agreement from the Ice Bear Kingdom delegation.
After all, it was not suitable for negotiation in the wilderness.
So, everyone followed the car to the highest-class hotel in the county, Jiangyang Grand Hotel.
Wang Yu arranged for rooms for everyone, and all the accommodation preparations were made in advance by Boss Zhao.
Yes, Boss Zhao, the boss of that "Long River Street Nine Dragons and One Phoenix," who had previously lent money at usurious rates to Liu Lu's husband and later revealed information to help Liu Lu find Wang Yu.
Perhaps envious of the good treatment that Brother Hu and the others received after defecting to Wang Yu, Boss Zhao and his gang showed their goodwill and loyalty through Liu Lu's affair.
After Wang Yu returned, he contacted them.
Wang Yu found that although these guys were ruffians like Brother Hu and the others, they were more sophisticated and adept at handling people and matters. In simple terms, they were very smooth-talking, saying what people wanted to hear.
So Wang Yu decisively incorporated them... no, he recruited them as public relations members and offered them a not-low salary.
Boss Zhao and the others were very satisfied with this, as being a ruffian really had no future. It was better to work for a wealthy boss and live a stable life.
Therefore, this time Wang Yu had given them advance notice to be responsible for entertaining these guests from the Ice Bear Kingdom, and Boss Zhao and his gang immediately busied themselves with the arrangements.
They booked the best rooms at the Jiangyang Grand Hotel, thoughtfully contacted a food store to prepare bread, and also placed two bottles of "Lao Baigan" in each room, yes, the highest proof kind.
And to prevent these guests from causing disturbances if they drank too much, they even booked out an entire floor for their rooms.
Wang Yu was very satisfied with Boss Zhao's arrangements. Although it cost some extra money, it was very decent and thoughtful, and indeed saved him a lot of trouble.
Wang Yu then led the Ice Bear Kingdom delegation to check in, exchanged a few pleasantries, and prepared to bid farewell.
However, as they were passing by the lobby reception, a commotion erupted.
"What? How is it possible there are no rooms? What are you people doing? Such a big hotel doesn't even have rooms?"
The sharp, harsh voice carried far, and Wang Yu could hear it clearly even from outside the door.
The voice was very familiar. It was the voice of Yang Song, the director of the steel mill?
Inside the lobby reception, Yang Song was yelling at the young service girl in a swaggering and overbearing manner.
Behind him were several people, all looking arrogant.
"Sir, it's not that we don't have rooms, it's that the highest-grade rooms are gone. An entire floor has been booked."
The service girl was a young woman. Facing the unfriendly Yang Song, she could only explain reluctantly.
"What? Booked? Then make them get out."
Yang Song yelled at the waitress unceremoniously, "Do you know who these people behind me are? They are experts from He Island Tianyi Steel Company, important figures who are about to bring major investment to our county!
Can you, a little girl, bear the responsibility for offending them and affecting our county's investment attraction?"
Yang Song roared at the girl, spittle flying.
"I... I... but the rooms have already been booked, reserved in advance," the girl said flustered, only able to repeat herself.
"Then ask them to cancel or change! I don't believe that anyone can be more important than the experts from Tianyi Steel Company!"
Yang Song ordered without thinking.
"But..." the service girl hesitated.
"But what?"
Yang Song directly raised his hand, about to slap her.
However, before his palm could fall, his arm was grabbed, preventing him from doing so.
"Who? Who the hell dares... Huh? Wang Yu?"
Feeling someone stop him, Yang Song instinctively wanted to curse, but as he turned around, he saw Wang Yu and was stunned.
"I booked those rooms. They are for entertaining guests. Talk to me if you have anything."
Wang Yu said directly to Yang Song, telling him to talk to him and not to make things difficult for the service girl.
"Wang Yu, who do you think you are? You think you're worthy of occupying so many high-class rooms?"
Yang Song directly cursed at Wang Yu, completely losing the obsequious demeanor he had when he begged Wang Yu to buy the steel mill.
"Oh? Director Yang thinks I'm not worthy of occupying them, then who should be qualified to stay in these rooms?"
Wang Yu asked Yang Song playfully, while holding a recording tape of Yang Song's past misdeeds in the Red Moon Dance Hall.
He had kept it from being exposed, purely to maintain stability, so as not to cause the already precarious steel mill to fall apart further due to a lack of leadership.
This guy had previously fawned over Wang Yu, hoping he would acquire the steel mill, but now that he had embraced the strong backing of Tianyi Steel Company, he had clearly become arrogant.
"Hmph, Wang Yu, who do you think you are? You got a little respect before and now you think you're someone important?"
Yang Song sneered, but before he could finish, one of the He Island people behind him suddenly spoke.
"You are Wang Yu? The Wang Yu who issued us a challenge? The Wang Yu from Jiangyang County Automobile Factory? Was the previous challenge letter written by you?"
The speaker was Yamazaki, the supervisor of Tianyi Steel Company.
Huh, his Chinese is quite good?
Wang Yu looked at Yamazaki with some surprise and nodded without hesitation, "That's right, it was me. I also asked someone to handwrite the challenge letter."
"Challenge letter? What challenge?"
Yang Song looked confused. As the director of the steel mill, he still didn't know that Wang Yu was going to fulfill the gambling agreement on behalf of the steel mill!
"Heh heh, I thought it was some important figure, but it turns out to be a child who hasn't even grown his fur. And you want to challenge Tianyi Steel Company, which represents the world's number one smelting technology, with your own power? How ridiculous!"
Takemoto sneered at Wang Yu, "Didn't you run away? Why did you show up again?"
Ran away? What the heck is that?
Wang Yu naturally didn't know that these people had come specifically when his car factory moved, and had misunderstood.
But even if he had known, he wouldn't have cared. He just chuckled.
"Heh heh, whether I'm ridiculous or not is my business. I just don't know if the world's number one Tianyi Steel Company dares to accept my challenge?"
"What exactly happened?" Yang Song interjected regarding Wang Yu's words.
Ignoring Yang Song, Yamazaki stared intently at Wang Yu.
"We accept your challenge. I was actually planning to find you. But since we've met by chance, it saves us further trouble.
We can agree to the challenge, but there must be some stakes attached."
"Stakes? What do you want?"
"We want you to kneel and apologize!"
