Chapter 267 Tong Keren comes to visit
After Rosen was detained, Tong Keren first went to her father and wanted to spend 100 million to redeem him.
Although Tong Keren's father approved of Luo Sen and agreed to let him date his daughter, it was conditional: Luo Sen had to quit the underworld and cut off all ties with his cronies.
If Rosen was simply kidnapped, Tong Keren's father might be willing to pay the 100 million yuan, but this is obviously not a kidnapping, but involves a feud in the underworld, so Tong Keren's father is naturally unwilling to pay this money.
Just because the Tong family is rich doesn't mean Tong Keren is also rich. Her real estate, cars, etc., all added up, are only worth tens of millions. Tong Keren simply can't come up with 100 million in a short period of time.
Since she couldn't come up with the money, Tong Keren thought of Lu Yongqiang, the leader of the Hongxing, and actually went to Lu Yongqiang.
Looking at Tong Keren sitting opposite him, Lu Yongqiang had a smile on his face, but he felt very disdainful in his heart.
Although Lu Yongqiang did not hold a grudge against Tong Keren regarding the Lantian incident, it did not mean that he did not have any thoughts in his mind.
If Tong Keren had given Lu Yongqiang some face at that time and given some projects to Dafei so that Dafei could make some money, none of the current mess would have happened.
Also, when Le Huizhen called Lu Yongqiang, Lu Yongqiang once again reminded Tong Keren to give Dafei some projects and there was no need to do things too drastically.
But Tong Keren didn't listen at all. Not only did she not give Dafei the project, she also found He Liansheng to bid for it, and then set up a scheme to cheat Dafei out of 10 or 20 million yuan.
Now that something has happened, thinking of himself, Lu Yongqiang naturally doesn't want to help.
Also, Da Fei clearly wanted to get money from Tong Keren this time. Now that Lu Yongqiang showed up, how would this matter be resolved? If he didn't let her go, it would mean he wasn't giving Lu Yongqiang face. If he let her go, what would he do about the 100 million?
Although Lu Yongqiang had a smile on his face, he didn't say a word.
Tong Keren said anxiously, "Mr. Lu, please help me this time because Ah Zhen and I are like sisters."
Lu Yongqiang sighed and said in embarrassment, "Miss Tong, it's not that I don't want to help, but you guys have gone too far. You've really taken things too far.
Now you ask me to come forward, what do you think I should do?
Ask Dafei to release the person directly? Then will I still be able to survive in the underworld?"
After Lu Yongqiang finished speaking, Tong Keren said, "Mr. Lu, I know this is embarrassing for you.
But I can't come up with 100 million now. I just hope Mr. Lu can come forward to discuss with Dafei and see if he can ask for less?
If that's not possible, can you pay it in installments? I can scrape together about 30 million now, so I can give you 30 million first. I'm willing to pay the remaining 70 million in installments, and it will be paid off in two years at most."
After hearing what Tong Keren said, Lu Yongqiang became interested.
Next year he will be in charge of the business in Macau Island. The casino in Macau Island needs a master of gambling skills to take charge. Lu Yongqiang has many talented people under him, but there is no master of gambling skills.
Recently, Lu Yongqiang has been thinking about where to find a gambling master. However, there are many gambling masters, but either they want to go it alone, or they have already followed someone, or they are also big bosses in a certain area, so Lu Yongqiang cannot hire them.
Lu Yongqiang had inquired and found out that both Rosen and Chen Yaxie were considered masters in the gambling world and were quite famous.
Especially Chen Yaxie, the best hand in Asia. This title is not just boasting. He has fought with all kinds of masters and got this title. In the gambling world, Chen Yaxie is more famous than Rosen.
In fact, after knowing that Rosen and others were detained by Dafei, Lu Yongqiang thought about stepping forward to rescue them, but after inquiring about the inside story, Lu Yongqiang no longer had this idea.
Even if Lu Yongqiang came forward, he would probably have to spend tens of millions to save people. He is in charge of Hongxing's business in Macau Island and only makes more than 100 million a year. Spending tens of millions to save people would be a bit of a loss.
But now that Tong Keren is willing to pay, things will be easier.
After Tong Keren finished speaking, Lu Yongqiang thought for a moment and said, "Miss Tong, you are Ah Zhen's friend, so there are some things I must make clear in advance.
We gangsters fight every day, just to make a living. Dafei detained Luo Sen and the others because he wanted money. Since you are willing to pay the 100 million, you can directly discuss it with Dafei. There is no need for me to intervene. He will definitely agree to release them.
Lu Yongqiang wasn't lying to Tong Keren; it wasn't that he didn't want to step forward. However, before Lu Yongqiang stepped forward, he had to make some things clear in advance, otherwise he would easily offend both sides.
After Lu Yongqiang finished speaking, Tong Keren said, "Mr. Lu, I understand what you mean, but I don't want this matter to escalate and cause any harm to Asen and the others, so I still hope Mr. Lu can help."
Hearing Tong Keren's words, Lu Yongqiang said, "Miss Tong, you have to think carefully. Once I come forward, the nature of the matter will change. I will then be your middleman. After the matter is settled, if any of you dare to change your mind, you will offend me."
"I, Lu Yongqiang, am quite influential. If any of you turn against me, don't blame me, Lu, for turning my back on you."
Lu Yongqiang said this specifically for Tong Keren to hear. As for this matter, since Tong Keren was willing to spend money to avoid disaster, Rosen and the others would definitely be able to be rescued.
After rescuing this person, the Tong family can look for opportunities to take revenge on Dafei.
Since Da Fei dared to extort 100 million yuan from Tong Keren, he was also prepared to accept the wrath of the Tong family. This was a tacit understanding shared by everyone.
But if Lu Yongqiang acted as a middleman, the situation would change.
First of all, Lu Yongqiang came forward, and Dafei had to give Lu Yongqiang face. Even if Lu Yongqiang didn't mention it, Dafei would take the initiative to lower the amount. He would definitely not get 100 million, and the most he could get was 50 million.
If Dafei takes tens of millions less, then Lu Yongqiang must ensure that Dafei has no worries after taking the money and that the Tong family will not make trouble for him.
In order to save people now, Tong Keren may not have the intention to look back on the past, but the situation may be different after the people are rescued.
As for Rosen and the others, they suffered such a big setback this time, so they must be resentful, and they might do something weird when the time comes.
Besides, Tong Keren's father didn't care about the life and death of Luo Sen and the others, but after Tong Keren paid for the redemption, he might have some thoughts and feel that his woman had suffered a loss. No one could say for sure...
After all, in a big family like the Tong family, family members will rarely swallow their anger when they suffer losses, and they may give you a fatal blow at any time.
After Lu Yongqiang finished speaking, Tong Keren said, "Mr. Lu, I still hope you can come forward. As long as this matter can be completely resolved and Asen and the others are safe, I promise not to bring up the matter later."
Hearing Tong Keren say this, Lu Yongqiang said, "Since Miss Tong insists, I agree to this."
After agreeing, Lu Yongqiang called Dafei directly.
After Da Fei answered the phone, he guessed the reason why Lu Yongqiang called without waiting for Lu Yongqiang to speak.
Da Fei said, "Brother Qiang, I think you called me at this time, definitely not to catch up with me and chat, but because of those scammers, right?"
Lu Yongqiang smiled and said, "Da Fei, since you have guessed it, I won't beat around the bush with you.
Miss Tong came to me and wanted me to be the peacemaker between you two. I wonder if you are willing to give me this favor?"
Da Fei said, "Brother Qiang, since you are willing to come forward, I will definitely give you this face."
"Brother Qiang, I think Miss Tong should have already told you what happened, so I won't repeat it again. A few little bastards set up a trap to rip me off for 10 or 20 million just to vent their anger on Miss Tong.
I want 100 million in compensation. Considering Miss Tong's family background, this is just a drop in the bucket. It's not too much, right? "
"Of course, since you are willing to be a peacemaker, Brother Qiang, I must give you face. I will give you a 50% discount and ask Miss Tong to compensate me with another 50 million, and this matter will be settled.
Brother Qiang, do you think this is okay?"
Da Fei only asked for 50 million in compensation, which had already met Lu Yongqiang's expectations. However, since Lu Yongqiang wanted to ask Chen Yaxie for help, he had to make the favor bigger, and this alone was not enough.
Lu Yongqiang thought for a moment and said, "Da Fei, fifty million is indeed not excessive. This shows my sincerity.
But fifty million is not enough for me to bear the wrath of the Tong family for you."
"Da Fei, you should understand what I mean, right?
Miss Tong may not care about these tens of millions for the sake of Rosen and the others, but what about the other members of the Tong family? They may not care about such a small amount of money, but the eldest daughter of the Tong family was blackmailed by a gangster, and they cannot ignore the reputation of the Tong family. "
As soon as Lu Yongqiang finished speaking, Dafei began to hesitate.
After Da Fei detained Rosen, he asked Tong Keren for 100 million yuan, implying that he wanted to seek wealth and fame at the risk of his life.
But if he could get the money without any worries, Dafei would naturally be willing to take it even if it was tens of millions less, so he directly asked for 50 million less.
But now Lu Yongqiang's words implied that 50 million less was not enough, so Dafei began to hesitate.
Seeing that Da Fei was silent, Lu Yongqiang said, "Da Fei, how about this? Miss Tong will give you another 30 million, and this matter will be settled. I can assure you that the Tong family will not cause you any trouble afterwards.
To make up for your losses, I can introduce you to Felix, a foreigner. He has a batch of top-quality red wine worth around 50 million. If you can buy this wine and sell it, you can make tens of millions of dollars, which is not a problem at all."
After Lu Yongqiang finished speaking, Dafei asked, "Brother Qiang, the foreigner Felix you're talking about, is that the Felix who specializes in the top-quality red wine business in Hong Kong?"
Lu Yongqiang smiled and said, "Yes! That's Felix!"
"Da Fei, how's it going? You're not losing money on this deal, are you?"
Da Fei said happily, "Brother Qiang, you are really a brother! I agree to this."
Felix is an American in his forties who works in the import and export trade of top-quality red wine in Hong Kong.
This person has a good relationship with Lu Yongqiang's partner Robert, and the two have been friends for many years.
At a cocktail party hosted by Robert, Lu Yongqiang met Felix, an American.
