Jiansazui Far East Club.

Jianguo came to Li Xin's side, handing him the big brother.

Thus 【1】 translation: "Jiansazui Far East Club."

I'm in Wanzai Paomadi; if you're not busy, come over for a bit; I have something to tell you.

The car had just stopped when someone took Li Xin to a private room.

But we need to ensure we keep the meaning exactly. Could also be: "Li Xin has been staring here these days; seeing anything unsuitable, he lets Big Brother B's staff hurry to fix." We'll keep "fix it."

He Xin saw Li Xin come in, pointed to Shadan Tong, and greeted: "A Xin, let me introduce you; this is Shadan Tong, you should call him Tong Shu."

Tong Shu, I'm Li Xin.

Li Xin greeted Shadan Tong, then sat between the two.

Shadan Tong smiled and asked: "A Xin, you're A Xin's son-in-law, so we're not outsiders; do you play cards?"

Li Xin wasn't surprised by Shadan Tong's question; everyone in Gangdao knows he likes playing cards, especially the game of Shoving the Big Land.

In Gangdao's business circle, there is a consensus: Shadan Tong is not like other business Big Brothers.

For example, he's not like Li Huanggua, who insists on overseeing every matter, big or small, and never misses any profit opportunity.

Shadan Tong is much more laid-back than most Big Brothers, quite carefree.

He only focuses on big plans and big strategies, doesn't worry about small things, and when free plays cards or golf.

Well, Shadan Tong plays proper golf, which isn't expensive.

After Li Xin came in, he saw Da Liu in the corner and knew what was up; this guy really has some connections.

They even brought out Shadan Tong!

Tong Shu, you might not know, I'm lucky; I won a lot of money from Huojingliang and Li Yunfei on Aodao.

You play Shoving the Big Land, which I don't know, but I have a new way; if you want to play cards, let's play a few rounds.

How many people at the table?

Three.

Shadan Tong glanced at He Xin, smiling and said: "Okay, then the three of us will play a few rounds to see A Xin's card skills."

Li Xin explained the rules to Shadan Tong and He Xin once; the rules are simple, and both understood right away.

Four hours later.

Shadan Tong saw Li Xin lay down four threes each with a pair of kings.

He asked doubtfully: "Wouldn't it be better to split them? This way you could still win a lot."

After Li Xin finished playing his cards, he lit a cigarette and then answered: "Tong Shu, when I do things, I leave others a mouthful of rice."

"But that's what I left for them; I'm not full, so others can't take it, right?"

"Understanding sharing is good, but being too domineering— the principle that what is too rigid breaks easily— needs no explanation from me; you surely understand."

Shadan Tong then slowly asked: "A Xin, do you know what is most important for a successful businessman wanting lasting prosperity?"

"Please enlighten me!"

"It's not courage and boldness, not eloquence, but being good at 'handling relationships'."

"Of course, not the narrow sense, but achieving a harmonious coexistence with society, the Hong Kong government, public opinion, partners, employees, and even competitors."

"If any aspect goes wrong, your business will turn into a domino-effect catastrophe."

"I've heard about your deeds; you've done well in these aspects, already possessing the essential qualities of a business Big Brother."

"But your conduct is sometimes too overbearing, which is very bad!"

Li Xin laughed and said: "Tong Shu, you're right; I admit this myself, but there's no way—if I weren't overbearing, there wouldn't be today's Li Xin."

"I might have already drowned in this big dye vat of the martial world; I can't choose my background, but if I want to strive, I can't be soft-hearted and soft-handed; my methods must be hard."

"You, Tong Shu, rely on your boldness to stand in Gangdao; I, A Xin, rely on overbearingness to roam the martial world—what's wrong with that?"

He Xin frowned slightly and said: "A Xin, enough!"

Li Xin smiled and said: "He Shu, enough?"

"Tong Shu is a senior in the business world; today coming out to set up the table, I've given you all due respect inside and out—where did I go over?"

Li Xin turned his gaze to Shadan Tong and asked: "What do you say? Tong Shu."

Shadan Tong burst out laughing, slapped the table, and repeatedly exclaimed: "Good, good an Immortal Trust! Everyone says I'm bold, but your A Xin's boldness is no less!"

He pointed at Li Xin with his finger and continued: "A Xin, today I was rude; you coming over is out of respect for A Xin, and finally calling it off is to give me face."

"Letting you let this go, I really was a bit over the line!"

"Xiao Liu is a member of the Landlord Association; I still can't ignore this—what do you suggest we do?"

Li Xin pointed to Da Liu in the corner and said: "Jiansazui is a good place; he wants to take several properties, which is understandable, but him trying to take meat from my bowl and get away with it easily is absolutely impossible."

"I have no dealings with him, but I can't neglect the face of He Shu and Tong Shu; help me do one thing, and this will be settled."

"You say."

Li Xin spat out a name: "Chinese Real Estate."

Shadan Tong was somewhat taken aback, then said: "A Xin, you're making Xiao Liu a frontman; I understand you don't want to take the blame, but you also need to understand."

"Although the controlling shareholder of Chinese Real Estate, the Feng Pingshan family and the Li Guan Chun family are feuding, making the interior unstable, but this requires a lot of cash—do you have that much money?"

"Just with your Red Trust Group, wanting to swallow Chinese Real Estate, that's very difficult."

Actually, letting you just let this go was me going too far.

Xiao Liu is a member of the Landlord Association; I still can't ignore this—what do you suggest we do?

Li Xin pointed to Da Liu in the corner and said: "Jiansazui is a good place; he wants to acquire several properties, which is understandable, but him trying to take meat from my bowl and get away with it easily is absolutely impossible."

I have no dealings with him, but I can't neglect the face of He Shu and Tong Shu; help me do one thing, and this will be settled.

You say.

Li Xin spat out a name: "Chinese Real Estate".

Shadan Tong was somewhat taken aback, then said: "A Xin, you're making Xiao Liu a frontman; I understand you don't want to take the blame, but you also need to understand."

Although the controlling shareholder of Chinese Real Estate, the Feng Pingshan family and the Li Guan Chun family are feuding, making the interior unstable, but this requires a lot of cash—do you have that much money?

Just with your Red Trust Group, wanting to swallow Chinese Real Estate, that's very difficult.

【1】 Jiansazui Far East Club.

Li Xin has been staring here these days; seeing anything unsuitable, he lets Big Brother B's staff hurry to fix it.

He hasn't eaten pork but has seen pigs run; the club's interior decoration in the internet age is no longer mysterious.
