Inheritance of Two Trillion

Chapter 2665: Chapter 1916: I’m the Landlord, Who Am I Afraid Of? (Part 2)

In the midst of their surprise, the three people still had some questions in their hearts—

Is Bai Xiaosheng the one responsible for dialogue and communication again? How come he actually chose to make an announcement at a dinner?

And was it a dinner he personally convened?

In this respect, the three were puzzled, but soon tossed these thoughts aside.

Right now, what concerned them most was which areas of Eisenlag Oshan was going to open.

Was it the main city or the surrounding satellite cities?

Or was it the rumored newly planned district?

The differences in these areas would affect everyone’s overall layout in Eisenlag, and even in the central area of Oshan and the entire nation.

Just at this moment when their hearts were racing, a servant unexpectedly brought new dishes, and Bai Xiaosheng invited everyone to continue eating.

How could they continue to eat!

The three men, including Hogson, couldn’t help but speak up.

”Gentlemen, with the opening of Eisenlag, those coming here in the future will not only include you but also a fourth party!” Bai Xiaosheng spoke before they could.

These words caused the three to pause, looking at each other in dismay.

The ”fourth party” Bai Xiaosheng mentioned was something the three had heard about.

It was said to be Bai Xiaosheng’s ”friend,” but the truth of that was unknown...

Suddenly, Brady felt a surge of opportunity.

He believed this was a chance.

Eisenlag was undoubtedly the core interest that each of the three present were eager to secure. At the crucial moment when Oshan was prepared to open up to them, Bai Xiaosheng actually mentioned a ”fourth party” closely linked to himself.

This was asking for trouble!

Thinking of this, Brady decisively frowned and spoke up, ”Mr. Bai Xiaosheng, the fourth party you mentioned, are they the friends you want to introduce into the Oshan business world?”

”If that’s the case, do you expect them to directly enter Eisenlag? Have you considered whether the three of us would agree?”

”If the interests we are bound to are entangled, how will it be resolved?”

”Is this meal a sincere disclosure to us, or a way to force our hand face-to-face?”

”Shouldn’t you clarify!”

Brady’s series of questions were sharp and probing!

In his view, Bai Xiaosheng’s mistake was in bringing everyone together all at once, exposing this point of interest, and then mentioning his ”friend’s” fourth party at this pivotal moment.

This undoubtedly sowed distrust and even a sense of opposition!

By instigating in this manner, even if Hogson and Anlos didn’t say anything upfront, a seed of discontent would surely be planted in their hearts!

Afterwards, when he sought to unite with them again, they probably wouldn’t refuse!

Bai Xiaosheng, oh Bai Xiaosheng, you’re still too young, committing such a basic error!

Brady secretly smirked.

In reality, he had no personal vendetta against Bai Xiaosheng, but Bai Xiaosheng had inconvenienced his work and was also rivaling against Bai Xuanyu, so he wouldn’t let Bai Xiaosheng have an easy time, at least making sure to edge him out in Oshan.

Hogson and Anlos exchanged glances without speaking up.

It seemed Brady’s words had an effect.

Brady was inwardly delighted, coldly staring at Bai Xiaosheng outwardly.

Unexpectedly, Bai Xiaosheng still had the composure to elegantly finish his last spoonful of soup, then raised a finger, waving it gently.

Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying immediately stepped up, placing a stack of lists in front of the three.

”Why don’t you take a look first, these are the enterprises that are entering as the fourth party into Oshan. As for which ones are coming to Eisenlag, I am not yet clear.” Bai Xiaosheng smiled slightly.

The so-called uncertainty was just a pretext; business secrets couldn’t be divulged.

Sharing the overall list with the three was harmless since those enterprises had already officially launched operations, possibly even reported in the news.

The only thing the three didn’t know was that those companies were also related to Bai Xiaosheng’s mention of the ”fourth party”.

This initial batch of listings involved Chinese family businesses, Western financial conglomerates, renowned enterprises from Huaxia and Asia.

For the three present, this should be quite ”refreshing”!

Sure enough, after a cursory glance, Hogson, Anlos, and Brady’s gazes sharpened slightly.

The initial batch of twenty to thirty companies, none of them alone might catch their attention, and even if all arrived, they wouldn’t think much of it.

The problem lay in that if they collectively served as the ”fourth party,” wouldn’t the powers behind them be a united force!

That’s too frightening!

Even if each of the three controls businesses that rival nations in wealth, they can’t withstand entities of the same level from other continents teaming up to send companies here!

”Mr. Bai Xiaosheng, is this what you mean by a fourth party?”

”Who exactly is your friend that they can bring together the Luo Family of Europe, the Wei Family of North America, the Bai Family, the Qin Family of South America...”

”And so many Huaxia and Asian companies, this...”

Facing the trio’s continuous shock, Bai Xiaosheng smiled in response.

”While Oshan approved your cooperation, they were actually starting their investments. Both Oshan and I hope for a collaborative relationship between you four in Oshan and West Africa, a win-win cooperation, not antagonism or exclusivity.”

”We have a saying in Huaxia — cooperation leads to a win-win situation, while conflict leads to mutual destruction!”

”I give this to everyone!”

Hogson and Anlos exchanged a glance, saying nothing.

With things involving family interests, how can they just nod and agree, forgoing competition for cooperation?

Seeing this, Brady smirked and slammed the list down, angrily saying, ”Mr. Bai Xiaosheng, ultimately, regardless of who your friend is, they are organizing everyone to compete with us. Telling us this here is nothing but forcing us to agree! You haven’t answered what I asked earlier! Now I want to know if in Eisenlag, you’ll also use your authority to first grant conveniences to your friend.”

These words were truly cutting.

The atmosphere suddenly became delicate.

Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying frowned and exchanged a glance from a distance.

This Mr. Brady, clearly in the same group as Bai Xiaosheng, yet his words are sharp, and he presses incessantly.

Faced with Brady’s relentless questioning, Bai Xiaosheng remained calm and did not argue.

”Mr. Brady, you’re too agitated.” Anlos advised from the side, then smiled at Bai Xiaosheng, ”Mr. Bai Xiaosheng, I’m curious, which areas is Oshan opening in Eisenlag this time?”

Hogson also looked at Bai Xiaosheng.

Don’t act impulsively, to get a share of the pie, one must first know how big the pie is.

Brady squinted at Bai Xiaosheng as well.

Bai Xiaosheng smiled and said, ”Chief Ogade assigned me to be responsible for the western suburbs of Eisenlag extending to the distant mountains, the future business district, industrial zone of this city, which can be said to be the most promising economic belt in the future middle region of Oshan.”

These words made the trio’s eyes blaze with eagerness.

This is the most core interest!

Brady, without a word, sternly declared, ”Mr. Hogson, Mr. Anlos, I suggest that we three simultaneously apply to Oshan to negotiate with someone unrelated to Bai Xiaosheng here! This place is too important to you and me!”

In Brady’s view, if the three parties united strongly and requested, Oshan would surely have to agree.

Bai Xiaosheng would be pushed out!

Hogson and Anlos were suddenly silent.

It seems they too began to feel that Brady’s words were not without merit.

”If it’s about the development from the western suburbs of Eisenlag to the distant mountains, I’m afraid the three of you can only talk to me. Even protesting to Chief Ogade would be useless,” Bai Xiaosheng smiled and said.

”What a joke!”

Brady suddenly stood up, sneering and shouting, ”Bai Xiaosheng, who do you think you are, really thinking you have the final say in Oshan. Do you know what those areas mean to Oshan? You’re just a business consultant, do you really think you’re that important? Figure out your role before talking to us!”

Brady was clearly intending to turn hostile publicly.

Bai Xiaosheng watched him calmly and waved his hand.

Lin Weiwei immediately came forward and handed him a document.

Bai Xiaosheng took the document and placed it on the table.

What is it?

Brady squinted his eyes, and Hogson and Anlos also looked over.

Bai Xiaosheng said unhurriedly, ”This is an appointment letter personally issued by Chief Ogade; I am the chieftain of that land. Under the grand plan of Oshan, I have the final say, including—”

”Who to cooperate with and who not to cooperate with!”

”In other words, I’m the landlord. If I want to grant my friend conveniences, I don’t need to notify anyone or get anyone’s consent!”

Bai Xiaosheng’s words left the three speechless.

Brady was dumbfounded.

Bai Xiaosheng, is the chieftain of that land!

”Now, do you understand, Mr. Brady?” Bai Xiaosheng’s smile faded, his eyes sharp as he pointed to the chair opposite, ”Either sit down to eat and negotiate with me or please leave.”

”However, there will be no talks in the future!”
