Chapter 236 Taking Over the Nightclub
Liu Xu gently stroked the teacup in his hand, pondered for a moment, and slowly shook his head.
He didn't want to use his power to overwhelm others, but he felt that the price offered by Gao Tengfei was a bit high and exceeded his psychological expectations.
Although he has ample funds, he has to use every penny wisely.
Thinking of the two remaining bank cards worth tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars lying in the system space, Liu Xu made a "yeah" gesture to Gao Tengfei and spoke decisively:
"Brother Fei, the price is 20 million Hong Kong dollars. I believe this price is enough to show my sincerity."
Gao Feiteng's expression suddenly became uncertain. He narrowed his eyes slightly, as if weighing Liu Xu's proposal against his bottom line.
After a moment, he sighed, with a bit of helplessness and unwillingness in his tone: "Brother Xu, the price you offered makes me feel a little embarrassed."
"You know, my nightclub, not counting the land, has a monthly operating profit of at least HK$200,000. This is real net profit."
Liu Xu chuckled, and that chuckle showed both his understanding for Gao Tengfei and his confidence in the price he offered: "Brother Fei, I understand your reluctance."
"But I hope you can understand that for people like us, who live in the underworld, no one can guarantee which will come first, tomorrow or an accident."
"Moreover, in recent years, negotiations between Britain and the mainland have not been smooth, and Hong Kong Island's economy could face the risk of collapse again at any time."
As Liu Xu's words slowly fell, the entire conference room fell into silence.
The air seemed to freeze, and even the sound of breathing became unusually clear. Gao Tengfei closed his eyes slightly, frowning, and was obviously making the final considerations and weighing.
He first recalled the economic situation of Hong Kong Island in recent years. Then, he thought about his nightclub, which was now being run by Liu Xu.
There was silence in the reception room for about three minutes. Gao Feiteng finally opened his eyes again, with a firm light in his eyes that came from careful consideration.
He let out a long and complicated sigh, full of helplessness and reluctance: "Okay, Brother Xu, let's go by the price you said."
Although the content is brief, it is heavy, carrying his determination to make a decision.
Upon hearing this, Liu Xu's lips curled up into a warm and sincere smile, which contained both the joy of winning the negotiations and gratitude for Gao Tengfei's concession.
With the signing of the nightclub transfer contract, Liu Xu handed two bank cards with 10 million Hong Kong dollars in them to Gao Tengfei, completing the transaction.
He patted Gao Tengfei's back gently, his gesture full of strength and warmth: "Brother Fei, I admire your open-mindedness and straightforwardness. I, Liu Xu, will definitely be your friend!"
After hearing this, Gao Tengfei's originally slightly unhappy expression instantly relaxed a lot, and the atmosphere in the reception room gradually became warm and harmonious at this moment.
When Gao Tengfei stood up to say goodbye, Liu Xu stood up as well and personally escorted him to the door of the boxing gym.
Before leaving, Gao Tengfei reminded Liu Xu that among those who had invited him, there were also people from Lei Yaoyang of Dongxing. After saying that, he turned around and disappeared at the door.
The reason why Gao Tengfei readily decided to reveal this matter to Liu Xu was actually based on the sincerity shown by the price of 20 million Hong Kong dollars.
Throughout the lengthy and complicated negotiation, Gao Tengfei's seemingly well-considered moves were actually just the result of his inner self-esteem.
An attempt to add a touch of dignity to his final compromise and not make his agreement seem too cowardly and helpless.
Both of them are important members of the four major societies. However, without the support of the society, Liu Xu's strength undoubtedly far exceeds his.
Liu Xu was fully capable of pocketing every penny of profit generated by the operating nightclub without giving him anything in return.
As a result, not only will Gao Tengfei's nightclub be unsold, but he will also be unable to make any effective counterattack against Liu Xu's aggressive behavior.
After all, the location of that nightclub has become Liu Xu's territory.
As for Gao Feiteng, if he wants to take it back or resell it to someone else, he must engage in a fierce battle with Liu Xu to take back the territory that was taken away.
However, at this moment he had already lost the courage and determination to confront Liu Xu head-on.
Under such circumstances, Liu Xu was still willing to lend a helping hand and spend money to buy his nightclub, which was undoubtedly a great comfort to him.
Therefore, he naturally wanted to express his gratitude in an appropriate manner.
As for whether Liu Xu would be angry with him because of the dispute between him and Lei Yaoyang and then seek to settle accounts with him, Gao Tengfei had no worries at all.
Because in Lei Yaoyang's eyes, he might be regarded as a traitor; but in Liu Xu's eyes, he is a frank and honest person who tells everything he knows.
Liu Xu narrowed his eyes slightly, and followed Gao Tengfei's departing figure closely. He couldn't help but recall Scorpion Tail's previous report in his mind:
The fact that Lei Yaoyang frequently appeared in Gao Tengfei's territory.
Since he was unable to find out the content of the communication between Lei Yaoyang and Gao Tengfei, and he and Lei Yaoyang did not have much interaction, he did not take the matter to heart.
However, Gao Tengfei suddenly mentioned this matter at this moment, which made Liu Xu feel suspicious.
Obviously, there were other unknown purposes behind Hanbo's invitation to him.
"What exactly does the other party want to achieve through this?" Liu Xu touched his chin, his thoughts racing in his mind, but due to the lack of clues, he could only put it aside for the time being.
However, one thing was clear in his mind: Lei Yaoyang had once plotted against him.
This was enough. If he encountered a suitable opportunity in the future, he would definitely settle this account with Lei Yaoyang.
The people who dared to take advantage of him clearly did not have a good enough reputation in Hong Kong Island. Liu Xu looked towards Jordan and Mong Kok, thinking to himself:
After taking such a long break, it is time to look for opportunities to spread his fame in this world to every corner of Hong Kong Island.
July is coming. In the past month and a half, everyone in Hong Kong Island has forgotten the warnings of the police's "anti-terrorism" operation in May.
After a brief period of calm, the underworld situation in Hong Kong Island began to surge again, and various forces were secretly fighting to try to occupy more territory in this land.
At the same time, in a dimly lit tea restaurant in Mong Kok, a man with cigarette smoke sitting opposite a man with a flat head.
Their eyes are full of caution and carefulness. Once their relationship is exposed, it will definitely arouse the fear of those who have ulterior motives.
"Your brother has been too ostentatious recently. He has been using your name to arrange for many 'loose fans' in various branches of our society."
The flat-headed man said with a hint of dissatisfaction and worry, “If you don’t stop it, the boss above us will probably take action against him soon.
"After all, he is a man who is full of control."
Upon hearing this, the cigarette man took a deep puff of the cigarette in his mouth. In the smoke, his eyes looked even deeper.
He spoke slowly and calmly, his voice a little hoarse and mocking: "Do you know what he said to me last time in this tea restaurant?"
"He told me confidently that the bigger the storm, the more expensive the fish! Humph, someone who can't even understand the direction of the river and lake, even if he is hacked to death on the street, he deserves to die."
The flat-headed man raised a complicated smile, "You've really changed a lot."
