Xia Na shivered and said irritably, "Pervert."

"Heh heh, one of these days, I'm going to hang you up and spank your ass."

Xia Na responded to Chen Che with a middle finger, "If you don't beat me, I'll hang you up and spank your ass!"

"Fuck it, tonight I'm definitely spanking your ass."

Xia Na had nothing to say this time.

Because it was the truth.

She needed it too.

Of course, Chen Che wasn't going to sideline his business for a woman. He had a lot of matters waiting for him to handle.

This included the newly opened smuggling routes and business negotiations and cooperation with other forces.

Each of these matters required him to handle them slowly, and he didn't have much time to waste on Qin Qingyan.

...

"Mr. Chen, I think the latest cooperation method you proposed is a bit unfair to us."

Orchid District.

There are two gambling dens, three brothels, and six opium dens in this district.

Additionally, there are some small shops in the vicinity.

Previously, this area was managed by another small gang.

That small gang was actually supported by the bosses of these districts in order to resist invasions from other districts.

Now, this small gang has been used as a scapegoat and wiped out by the Wildfire Gang, but the bosses behind the scenes are still living freely.

However, the previous businesses still need to continue, and facing the terms given by Chen Che, the other bosses of this district were somewhat dissatisfied.

After all, before, they only needed to spend a small amount of money to nurture a small gang, but now they had to give 40% of their profit, after costs, to Chen Che and the Wildfire Gang.

Every month, someone would be sent to audit their accounts to check for any false cost reports.

Though they could still earn 60% of the money, before, they could keep at least 95%.

Losing 35% of their money out of nowhere, how could they be happy?

So, the various shops in the Orchid District joined forces, somewhat resembling a coup.

It was said that the Orchid District even intended to ally with bosses from other districts to form an alliance to resist Chen Che and the Wildfire Gang he led.

They would offer at most 20% of the profits to Chen Che and his gang.

If Chen Che didn't agree, they would rather fight to the death with him.

They wouldn't so easily let anyone else trample on them.

What money does the gang make? Isn't it by relying on these businessmen!

They simply didn't believe that Chen Che would dare to push them, the money trees, into a corner.

A fat and plump boss sat in front of Chen Che, the fact that he could keep himself well-fed and fat in the Wasteland showed his considerable financial power.

Chen Che curled his lips into an amused smile and asked, "Then what kind of distribution does Boss Yang propose?"

Boss Yang weighed a cigar in his hand, took a deep breath, and flicked ash into a crystal ashtray, saying, "I think, Mr. Chen, a 15% profit for you is already quite good.

After all, we have to pay the costs, manpower and resources, while you just need to sit back and collect money. 15% profit is good for everyone, don't you agree?"

Chen Che squinted with a smile and asked, "Is this Boss Yang's personal idea, or all of yours?"

The other bosses averted their gazes from Chen Che, unwilling to make eye contact. The chubby Boss Yang laughed and said, "Mr. Chen, what's the difference? You just need to know it's good for everyone."

"Well, if you squeeze us too hard, won't we lose our motivation to do business? If we're forced to close our shops, surely you know that there are over ten thousand people in each district in Upper City District.

How many of those people are clients at the brothels, how many are gamblers?

Without an outlet, as you should know, the whole district would be in chaos, causing large-scale unrest, and who knows what complaints might come from above."

This statement was laced with a hint of threat, both openly and subtly.

"Seeing how proactive Boss Yang is, was this proposal your idea?" Chen Che didn't engage with Boss Yang's remark, instead asking with a smile.

Boss Yang's gaze lowered, he thought about it, believing that Chen Che still needed them to make money, and no matter what, he wouldn't dare do anything to them, saying, "Of course, as they say, those who can, do more..."

As soon as Boss Yang started speaking, in the next second, Chen Che suddenly grabbed the crystal ashtray from the table and swung it high, smacking it down hard onto Boss Yang's skull.

With a loud bang, there was no cinematic scene of the glass ashtray shattering in pieces.

Glass is a very sturdy material, not easily shattered.

The scenes in movies where glass is used to hit someone's head, or a bottle breaks on a head with a crash, are all made with various candy props.

In reality, the hardness of a human skull doesn't compare to glass!

Especially a thick ashtray, capable of easily cracking a skull.

As the ashtray slammed onto Boss Yang's head, there was a dull thud, and what seemed like the sound of bone cracking.

Boss Yang crumpled down softly.

All those around were dumbfounded, silent, only to see Chen Che coldly lifting the ashtray, smashing it repeatedly onto Boss Yang's head until it was a bloody mess, a scene of chaos, and Boss Yang made no further sound, before tossing the ashtray aside.

Chen Che shook his hand, lit a cigarette, and turned to Bobby, saying, "Find someone to take over his factories, someone reliable, with some brains, who can see the situation clearly, not greedy and foolish like him, who doesn't even know how to do business and can't even understand the current situation."

The other bosses around had long been scared witless, none of them expecting Chen Che to act so suddenly.

Chen Che looked up at the other bosses and smiled, "Ladies and gentlemen, 50%, any objections? I'm not asking for your revenue, but 50% of your profit, I believe I've been very lenient.

We can all make money together, I believe under my rule, your revenue can double.

Isn't that good?"

"Does anyone oppose, anyone agree? Please raise your hand if you oppose."

No one raised a hand.

"So everyone agrees, right?"

The group of frightened bosses immediately nodded in recognition, wholeheartedly agreeing with Chen Che, fearing they might catch his attention.

"OK, meeting adjourned!"
