Inheritance of Two Trillion

Chapter 2667: Chapter 1917: Winning Over Everyone (Part 2)

”You really were too impulsive, too reckless. Let’s sit down calmly and talk this through; that’ll be good for everyone.”

Those two belated steps down off the stage made Brady feel no sincerity at all.

Brady only forced out a strained smile at Bai Xiaosheng. ”It was me, I was impulsive.”

As soon as he said it, Brady secretly let out a breath of relief.

Sometimes, before you say certain things they feel impossibly hard; once you say them, it’s just that.

This counted as Brady bowing his head to Bai Xiaosheng.

Bai Xiaosheng smiled. Being able to make Brady lower his head was indeed more beneficial to him than driving him away.

”When it comes to vital interests, I can understand. Please sit.” Bai Xiaosheng raised his voice.

Only then did Brady sit down again.

Hogson and Anlos naturally wouldn’t mock Brady over something like this; on the contrary, they even reined in any look or expression that might give him a bad association.

After all, they’d be seeing each other all the time in the future; making a peer feel even slightly embarrassed now could turn into some unknown troublepayback down the line.

Besides, Brady was ultimately from the same group as Bai Xiaosheng. Even if things seemed unhappy right now, who could guarantee they wouldn’t be of one mind later on.

What the two of them cared most about right now was not Brady’s face, but how this local Chieftain, Bai Xiaosheng, planned to allocate the business.

That was of critical importance!

Let alone Brady’s face—if it were for the sake of the Anlos Family, they wouldn’t hesitate to throw in their own faces.

”Mr. Bai, regarding the western suburbs of Eisenlag, which is your territory, I have over a dozen development plans on my side... You know, we do a lot of things in advance, including guessing at the local planning schemes. If you need them, I’ll send them all to you as reference. Our family has poured tremendous effort into those, had the best think tanks grind them out bit by bit. They even include projections and response strategies for the next ten, fifteen, thirty years. I believe they’ll be of help to you in managing your territory!”

Hogson said eagerly to Bai Xiaosheng, ”And anytime you need to tap into my Hogson family’s resources, just say the word. On that front, I won’t have a single objection.”

Hogson felt that he wasn’t as close to Bai Xiaosheng as Anlos was, so he could only ”bleed” to let Bai Xiaosheng see his sincerity.

Bai Xiaosheng’s eyes lit up slightly.

All kinds of planning schemes produced by a family rich enough to rival a nation, the data and effort behind them essentially turned into real silver—probably enough to make anyone click their tongue.

If he could get them for free, that was undoubtedly a major gift!

”Many thanks, Mr. Hogson!”

Bai Xiaosheng’s words of praise made Hogson at once down a big glass of hard liquor; even his smile seemed a little tipsy.

Seeing this, Anlos cursed Hogson in his heart: Despicable.

Anlos also smiled at Bai Xiaosheng and said, ”Mr. Bai, we’re all friends here, so I won’t comment on how you should develop the place. But if you need funds, my Anlos Family can provide an interest-free loan of a hundred billion US Dollars. Any channels or resources you need, I can provide for free in the initial stage.”

Anlos was going all in too; as long as he could get a piece of the action, he was willing to do a losing deal.

Besides, once you’re in the game, would you still be afraid of not making your money back?

He’d analyzed Bai Xiaosheng’s temperament as a Huaxia person—there was no way he’d let people work for nothing...

Hearing this, Bai Xiaosheng beamed at Anlos. ”My thanks to you, Mr. Anlos.”

Anlos let out a hearty laugh. ”Mr. Bai, what’s the point of being polite between us.”

Listening to Anlos, Hogson couldn’t help glancing at him, secretly cursing: Shameless.

Brady watched as Hogson and Anlos both threw their dignity aside and started laying it on thick with Bai Xiaosheng. Since he’d already sat back down, if he still kept acting lofty, wouldn’t he just be wasting a golden opportunity?

For all he knew, after this round, Keruoge would still lag far behind the two families, and that would feel worse than getting slapped in the face!

Brady cleared his throat on the spot and said to Bai Xiaosheng, ”Bai Xiaosheng... Mr. Bai, the factories and parks that Keruoge is building in Oshan are, location-wise, closer to Eisenlag. We can’t compare to Hogson and Anlos in terms of project progress, but precisely because of that our infrastructure materials, equipment, and manpower are all on standby and can be transferred over in the shortest time. For the planning and construction of the western suburbs of Eisenlag, we’re willing to provide all building materials, equipment, and personnel for free. Our group... Zhenbei Group will fully support your development here!”

Brady was blatantly reminding Bai Xiaosheng that they belonged to the same group.

Was this playing the emotional card?

Hogson and Anlos finally couldn’t help giving Brady a sidelong glance, cursing from the bottom of their hearts: Truly shameless...

Hearing this, Bai Xiaosheng gave Brady a smile. ”If I can get the group’s support here, I really will have to rely on you, Mr. Brady.”

That one sentence made Brady’s heart warm; he nodded again and again.

In a way, Bai Xiaosheng was also giving him face in public, and even letting bygones be bygones!

”Mr. Bai, I’ll have those proposals sent over right away, we can start going over them now...”

”As for the funds, just say the word— I can guarantee the first batch lands in the account tonight.”

Hogson and Anlos immediately refused to be outdone.

Bai Xiaosheng smiled slightly, speaking very politely and with a very humble posture, ”I happen to have a lot of questions I’d like to ask the three of you. I hope you won’t hesitate to give me your guidance.”

He clearly held enough resources to make others bow their heads, yet Bai Xiaosheng was still willing to lower himself, neither arrogant nor impatient.

And with the eyes of those three, honed by years in the game, they could see Bai Xiaosheng was genuinely sincere, which moved them quite a bit.

Even Brady couldn’t help feeling a bit of admiration for Bai Xiaosheng’s style.

In the distance, Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying watched the three tycoons being so enthusiastic, exchanged a look, and both felt a surge of excitement and pride.

Bai Xiaosheng was going to build a strong and extensive business alliance in Oshan and West Africa. With the support of these three giants, the framework was basically up. Once this kind of business alliance was established, its value would be no less than Bai Xiaosheng getting another Chieftain title...

At another spot in the hall, Milo had also been standing there all along, ears pricked, listening to the four of them talk.

Compared to getting a bit hungry from eating late, being able to listen in on a conversation like this was incredibly beneficial to him.

Watching a peer his own age, Bai Xiaosheng, handle everything so effortlessly, drawing active enthusiasm from the three tycoons, filled him with admiration.

It even gave him that feeling of, ”This is what a man should be.”

And that wasn’t all—Bai Xiaosheng had even secured a status like Chieftain of Oshan, with a one-of-a-kind, every-inch-of-land-is-gold territory in Oshan under his name.

Milo practically felt an urge to worship Bai Xiaosheng.

At the banquet that followed, the four of them clinked glasses back and forth, laughter filled the air, and the atmosphere was harmonious and relaxed.

Bai Xiaosheng certainly didn’t let such a great opportunity slip; he brought out some of the ideas he’d had over the past few days and discussed them with the three giants.

Certain ways of thinking, certain angles for looking at problems, and certain methods are things you only develop after years at the top—there couldn’t be more suitable discussion partners than these three.

The key was, at this critical moment, Hogson, Anlos, and Brady were all generous enough to share their most genuine and practical views, partly to win Bai Xiaosheng’s favor.

Even if the three of them knew perfectly well that Bai Xiaosheng was leveraging their goodwill at this moment, they were still happy to go along.

It had to be said, this dinner Bai Xiaosheng hosted was really worth every penny.

This French-style dinner lasted for almost three hours, and both host and guests were thoroughly satisfied.

Not only did Bai Xiaosheng receive the most honest and pertinent advice on some of his questions, he also accepted ”gifts” from all three parties toward the development of his territory.

At the same time, Brady, Hogson, and Anlos also each received some promises from Bai Xiaosheng, and promises made publicly were, of course, more reassuring.

All in all, everyone left happy.

After the banquet broke up, Brady, Hogson, and Anlos took their leave from Bai Xiaosheng.

Seeing it was getting late, Bai Xiaosheng made a token effort to persuade them to stay the night.

All three politely declined.

Come on, the meal was over, but the work wasn’t done yet. They had to rush back overnight to start delivering on the promises they’d made to Bai Xiaosheng.

On that front, the sooner the better—it was best to get ahead of the other two.

Bai Xiaosheng more or less guessed what they were thinking and was, of course, happy to see it happen.

He escorted the three of them to the entrance of the Walking Palace, where they insisted he go no further.

Brady, Anlos, and Hogson walked together toward the parking area, and along the way everyone was very courteous, smiling broadly as they talked about future cooperative development in Eisenlag.

But once they each got in their own cars, the three of them simultaneously urged their drivers: Step on it!

Best to beat the others back to their residences in Eisenlag!

Bai Xiaosheng stood at the entrance to the Walking Palace, watching their motorcades speed off, the corners of his mouth curling into a smile.

As he turned to head back, Bai Xiaosheng muttered a line to himself.

”I’ll have to trouble you all tonight, my allies!”
