Chapter 830: Drunk Too Much

After we finished drinking,

Tian Shi let out a belch,

Jianqiang, let's continue talking about the topic we just discussed. I just said that trust is a quota.

This is what my friend who has gone through life-and-death experiences with me said.

For example, you said the matter of setting up an offshore company.

Why don't I let that friend help with handling the company operations.

As for this matter, he told me this:

The best way to measure whether a person is trustworthy is with money.

For example, if this person is only worth ten thousand dollars, and you give him twenty thousand, he will immediately have other thoughts.

If you give him one million, he won't even think about it; he'll just take the money and run.

Because in his life it's impossible to see that much money, also impossible to earn that much.

When he sees money, he'll forget everything; even the best friendship, the best feelings, he'll abandon them all.

Some trust has no value at all in the face of money.

He has already proven this with facts.

He personally told me this: his own trust quota is one hundred million. Exceeding one hundred million,

he won't be swayed, but his family and his shareholders will have ideas.

There are some things he cannot control.

So, regarding this matter, I don't want him involved too deeply.

This is something you need to understand clearly.

There's another thing, regarding money,

you trust no one,

including me,

First, I declare that I have no ideas about this money; I will know what you will do with this money, and afterwards there will be very good returns.

It's beneficial for local development, beneficial for improving ordinary people's lives, and moreover it brings longer-term benefits for our Zaocheng.

So I have no ideas."

Tian Shi paused for a moment, took a puff of his cigarette, and said:

"I say you are a business partner first because of your attitude toward money.

A person can be so magnanimous.

I can hardly imagine it.

Da Heng Group said they would give up, and they did.

Tens of millions of money are not even looked at.

If you were an ordinary person, you might have already been living carefree with the fifty million Liu Yong gave you.

Actually, here, having two or three million would already make life very happy.

Your magnanimity toward money makes your life's height different.

Wen Han's defeat lies solely in money.

He is petty and miserly.

He schemes everywhere.

Every time we meet, it's all about bringing up money; if no money is given, there's nothing to talk about.

Actually, what can he do with all that money? Sigh.

Forget it, the Zhou Family is finished just from showing off.

Zhou Renfeng almost wishes to say he is a person of the United Nations,

managing the whole Earth, making everyone afraid of him.

Actually, in some people's eyes, he's nothing.

Alright, we've gone off on tangents; we won't mention them anymore.

Let's talk about the new plan.

Let's do it as you said,

First, establish a new company,

to manage the project well.

Also, the offshore company matter must be handled properly.

What I just said was intentionally meant to warn you.

Furthermore, Yang Tao is even more an untrustworthy person.

Do you understand what I mean?"

I nodded,

"Tian Shi, as soon as the money is in hand, I will quickly arrange the offshore company to get the money over.

to avoid complications later."

"Yes, this money originally belongs to the local populace; investing it here is appropriate. This is 'taken from the people, used for the people.'"

"Jianqiang, pour another." Tian Shi's alcohol kicked in.

"Tian Shi, today our talk was very pleasant; your discussion about friends also opened my eyes."

"I think we've drunk enough; we can't drink anymore,"

"If we drink more, it will interfere with tomorrow's work." I advised Tian Shi not to drink anymore.

Jianqiang, what's tomorrow's work? Isn't tomorrow just a meeting to read the script?

Alright, I know, rest assured I won't misread it.

Won't misread the lofty ambition as 'Honghao's ambition'.

Haha,

Sigh, it's damn fun.

Jianqiang, you haven't drunk too much,

Your drinking capacity is good,

Today we must drink a lot,

Actually, I think there's another kind of friend: one who gets drunk together.

Haha, just getting drunk lets you speak the truth after drinking.

Only then can you speak from the heart.

Everything else is nonsense.

Today, the two of us have this two jin of alcohol; if we finish it, we're men; if we don't, we're not. Tian Shi shouted.

This Tian Shi is also a passionate person.

What else can we say? Let's drink.

Actually, I also want to get drunk once, to completely relax my body and soul.

This kind of pressure fatigue leaves people nowhere to rest.

I poured out all the wine in the bottle.

I raised my wine cup and said: "Tian Shi, I, Zhao Jianqiang, thank you; you can regard me as a friend."

Then let us join forces and strive to get Xue County's tourism project underway.

Jianqiang, no need to thank me; thanking me for what? Being polite like that is meaningless; we're friends, that makes us brothers.

You are my brother, I am your elder brother; if anything happens, I'll cover for you.

Let me tell you, not only does Xue County's tourism project need to get underway,

we also have another thing to do,

it must be done,

that is to get this matter of Da Heng Group sorted out.

Whoever the hell comes wants a piece; how can that work?

I don't believe in evil anymore.

Let's first get Xue County's tourism project done; once that's done, then tackle Da Heng Group—everyone wants to sit on our heads and defecate.

Hmph, I, Tian Shi, don't have that patience. Tian Shi said fiercely at that moment.

What Tian Shi said is exactly what I most want to say in my heart.

As for the Da Heng Group matter, that's my heart's treasure; I say let go, but how could I let go?

But the current situation can only force me to let go.

But can I really let go? How could it be possible? This is all the business I founded; to just hand it over to others like that?

Under the stimulation of alcohol, I looked at Tian Shi.

showing an approving gaze.

Jianqiang, why aren't you excited? You should be shouting happily. Tian Shi said.

Tian Shi, should we discuss this matter later?

Sure, I know you're careful. Then we'll talk about it later,

Damn, a few birdpeople have come from the south; don't think you're worth much,

What Liu family, what Zhou family, Sun family, Li family, Zhao family.

Their time is up. Tian Shi said, then downed the drink in one go.

I also joined Tian Shi in downing it.

Did Tian Shi get that information from some channel, daring to say such things?

I didn't continue to press further.

Anyway, Tian Shi and I are on the same page: we don't want anyone to defecate on our heads.

After finishing the drink, the bottle was empty. Tian Shi picked up his phone,

to call Secretary Qin,

to get us more alcohol.

Secretary Qin saw that we had finished both bottles of wine,

quickly said: "Tian Shi, there's still a meeting tomorrow; it's getting late, don't drink anymore."

Secretary Qin, we haven't drunk too much; how about this: bring two bottles of beer. Jianqiang, how about drinking beer?

Back when we were in the south, we used to drink like this.

Only brothers who have shared life and death drink together. Tian Shi said, then swayed as he stood up.

He sang loudly: "Maybe if I fall, I won't come back; do you understand, do you comprehend..."

I guess Secretary Qin usually hasn't seen Tian Shi in such a scene,

nor dared to linger; he just ran off to get beer.

Secretary Qin quickly came with the beer,

I took it and opened it,

Tian Shi happily took it.

Jianqiang, we have to drink a lot today, we must drink a lot, how can a good brother not get drunk once? Haha, refreshing.

The wine bottles clinked together,

Then I and Tian Shi each started drinking from the bottle.

After one bottle of beer, Tian Shi's body went limp,

This shows he's already completely drunk.

I also shook my head, trying to stay sober, opened the private room door, and called Secretary Qin.
