"Brother Lin, don't call Brother Huzi from now on, it sounds distant. If you don't mind being useless, I'll recognize you as my elder brother. Just call Huzi from now on!" Big Beard said.
Lin Mu nodded, "Haha, then I'll just call you Huzi."
Fan Boxiong, sitting nearby, was even more surprised. It seed that Lin Mu was stronger than he had imagined. Even Big Beard was calling Lin Mu 'Brother', indicating that Big Beard had completely submitted to Lin Mu's leadership!
"Wow, he really is a strong character!" Fan Boxiong thought to himself.
Lin Mu held a cigarette, took a puff, and slowly exhaled a wisp of smoke, "Huzi, since we're brothers now, I'll speak frankly."
"Brother Lin, just say what's on your mind, I know I've crossed the line in so matters."
"Okay, first about your issue with Boss Fan. You two are partners, and I'm basically aware of your situation, so I have a request. First, I want you to return the extra money you've received from Boss Fan over the years!" Lin Mu said, looking at Fan Boxiong.
"Boss Lin, this..." Fan Boxiong was surprised. It was remarkable that Big Beard wasn't looking for trouble, and now he's being asked to return the extra money he'd taken over these years? Can this really happen?
"Alright, Brother Lin, since you bring it up, I'll listen to you, no problem." Big Beard nodded boldly, then raised a glass of wine, "Co on, Boss Fan, I was too overbearing before, and I shouldn't have given you a hard ti. Now, I apologize to you, let's down this drink and clear out the unpleasantness between us!"
Fan Boxiong was taken aback, already surprised by Lin Mu's condition, but now Big Beard's straightforward agreent surprised him even more. Fan Boxiong raised his glass and drank with Big Beard, downing it in one gulp!
Lin Mu nodded in satisfaction, "Not bad, the second matter involves the Huashan project. I plan to continue collaborating with you. Whatever your previous share was, I'll increase it by twenty percent, aning you'll get twenty percent more profit on the original basis!"
Big Beard was shocked upon hearing this, "Brother Lin, this..."
In Big Beard's understanding, Lin Mu might want to do a sole proprietorship, which ans not needing anyone to partner, achieving profits and losses themselves. But now Lin Mu proposed to continue cooperating with Big Beard and increase the profit by twenty percent, which surprised Big Beard!
Returning what Big Beard shouldn't have to Boss Fan, and then Lin Mu compensating Big Beard, these first and second points show that Lin Mu considers Big Beard as a brother! With Lin Mu's capital, he absolutely has the capacity to regain the shares held by Big Beard, but he didn't do so. For one, Big Beard is a nice person who can be treated as a brother, and secondly, the Huashan Scenic Area is not in Wancheng, soone must oversee the operations!
Big Beard is a local from Huayin, making his oversight the best choice! Moreover, Big Beard is not as crude and reckless as he appears on the outside, instead, he shows a trace of finesse among the roughness, a material worth nurturing. With proper training, he can definitely beco a significant figure!
It is because of Big Beard's performance that Lin Mu kept him around! Although the person has been kept, so rules must still be emphasized, firstly dealing with the vendors' price gouging and deceit at Huashan! Thus, the first task after acquisition is to reform the vendors and stall owners at Huashan!
As an ordinary traveler, Lin Mu had experienced this firsthand, and it deeply impacted him. He was extrely disgusted!
"Huzi, let's not make dishonest money, let's work diligently and earn money with a conscience. I guarantee that it will be more profitable than before, trust ."
"Brother Lin, I'm with you, rest assured, I, Huzi, will show you sothing impressive!" Big Beard stood up, raised a glass of wine, "Brother Lin, I toast to you!"
Lin Mu smiled and clinked glasses with Big Beard, both finishing their drinks in one go!
Setting down his glass, Lin Mu took another puff of his cigarette and said, "There's also the issue of the service facilities at the scenic area, we're not thugs or hooligans, we're here to serve the tourists, we can't engage in hooligan behavior. But when it cos to real thugs, we should fight fire with fire. Tomorrow, co with to the Huashan Scenic Area, gather all the vendors, I want to implent so important asures!"
"Absolutely, Brother Lin, whatever you say goes, we're following your orders!" Big Beard said.
"Alright, that's all from , nothing else to discuss. Co, let's drink more today since we're happy." Lin Mu picked up his wine glass, with the serious talk over, it was ti to enjoy so drinks.
"Cheers!" said Big Beard, raising his glass with Fan Boxiong, and the three of them happily drank their wine.
Needless to say, both Fan Boxiong and Big Beard were heavy drinkers, practically two barrels of wine, in no ti, they were surrounded by a pile of empty bottles, even Lin Mu, who grew up in a barrel of alcohol, felt a bit dizzy!
The next morning, Lin Mu took a car with Big Beard to the Canglong Ridge Square in the Huashan Tourist Scenic Area. Before coming, Big Beard had already arranged for all the vendors in the Huashan Scenic Area to gather, including those who had clashed with Lin Mu before!
Big Beard's rcedes stopped in front of the square, and Lin Mu got out of the car with Big Beard. At this mont, in front of the square, a dozen or so vendors were chatting among themselves, and among them, the ones who had conflicted with Lin Mu suddenly lit up. They recognized a familiar face, yes, it was Lin Mu!
Because they had an altercation with Lin Mu before, their impression of him was particularly deep! Seeing Lin Mu and Big Beard together, the vendors were puzzled. What was going on? Wasn't that the tourist who had an altercation with them now standing with Big Beard? Who exactly was this guy?
Just as a few vendors were suspicious, Lin Mu and Big Beard had already approached them. Lin Mu imdiately spotted those vendors who had attacked him, and let out a disdainful hum, "Let's see how I deal with you today!"
The vendors, seeing Lin Mu, dared not look him in the eye but all had a bad feeling. Just then, Big Beard spoke up, "Everyone, let introduce to you, this is our new Boss Lin at the Huashan Tourist Scenic Area. From now on, all plans for Huashan Tourist Area are at Boss Lin's discretion!" Big Beard introduced to the people below.
"Boss Lin?" The vendors, hearing Big Beard's words, almost fainted. Was this so kind of joke? Just yesterday and the day before, he was just a tourist, and today he is suddenly the boss of the Scenic Area?
But Big Beard wouldn't lie, the small vendors' faces turned pale as if they wished they could bury their heads in their pants and hide!
