Chapter 813: Chapter 802: Can’t Win, Still Have to Fight

This group of imposing people probably numbered around a hundred, similar to those earlier this morning, holding fish forks, knives, rolling pins, and such. But after they ca in, their expressions changed.

About ten ters away from the Seafood City, the group stopped. The leader, whom Song Yun saw this morning, Su, exclaid in surprise, “Lord Lu, what’s going on?”

“Su, co here!” Lord Lu waved to the crowd of over a hundred. The group was indeed quite bold; though many felt uneasy, they still followed the main group from another direction into the Seafood City.

Thus, inside this rather large seafood stall, two groups faced off against each other.

On one side, there was Song Yun’s group dressed uniformly in black suits and sunglasses. On the other side, there were the over a hundred people ard with an assortnt of weapons.

“Whatever the issue, let’s sit down and talk it over!” With his side here, Lord Lu felt assured. Even though they were definitely outnumbered, one hundred against five hundred, it wasn’t a battle. With so many people, a fight was unlikely. A brawl between more than six hundred people would surely be repressed by the local authorities. So, Lord Lu felt at ease now, unlike earlier when there were only seven or eight people on his side. If they had just seven or eight, they could be instantly overwheld, and the others could smash things and leave. Now he wasn’t worried!

“Fine, let’s talk it over slowly.” Song Yun nodded with a smile. Lord Lu pulled over a table and placed several chairs around it. Song Yun and Song Ergou sat down, while Black Flood Dragon stood smiling behind Song Yun. On the other side of the table sat Lord Lu and Su.

“This ti, it was our fault for not knowing better and offending the wrong person!” Lord Lu opened with a good attitude, first admitting his mistake, then said, “Judging by your deanor, you must be from the underworld as well, so you know that every place has its own rules. Here in SI, the rule is, if you et a cash cow and don’t milk it, then you are the cash cow. It’s an unspoken rule that’s almost spoken. My mistake this ti was targeting the wrong person. I’ll double compensate for your losses. But if you expect

to beco so moralist and stop milking people or let you smash my place, even if I agreed, my brothers here would not allow it.”

After speaking, the over one hundred people behind Lord Lu stood tall, angrily glaring at Song Yun’s side, while in contrast, over four hundred mbers of the Shura Alliance stood quietly, just looking at Song Yun, with no words or other actions.

This gave Lord Lu a start, realizing his opponent this ti might be more formidable than he had imagined!

“I don’t mind people making money. When I first started out, I was in the robbery business too.” Song Yun took out a cigarette and offered one to his old man, then lit one for himself and said, “I understand what you’re saying. You need to make money; the local authorities need GDP. Let

ask, for the things I ate last ti, how much profit did you make?”

“Well…” Lord Lu hesitated for a mont and said, “Around ten thousand yuan.”

“So, you charged

ten thousand to thirteen thousand, and you made a profit of ten thousand? That’s a high margin!” Song Yun said, “A couple a month, and that’s all you need.”

“Not enough!” Lord Lu said, “We earn a lot but share a lot too.”

“Oh? What do you an?” Song Yun asked, curious.

“Let

put it this way, you did go to the business bureau to complain today, right?” Lord Lu asked.

“Yes, you really do know everything!” Song Yun said with a smile.

“Every month, the tribute we pay to the business bureau is a huge expense. Otherwise, do you think they would help us? Also, every taxi driver who brings you here, we pay them a commission!” Lord Lu said.

Song Yun suddenly rembered the gesture between the driver and Xiao Hei when he arrived yesterday, then said, “Do you generally split the profits forty percent?”

“Yes, so when we earn ten thousand yuan, four thousand goes to the drivers, at least two thousand goes to the higher-ups, and we’re left with just around four thousand,” Lord Lu said.

“Aren’t you afraid that if you overcharge too much, there won’t be any business left?” Song Yun asked.

“Afraid? Of what? You know the temperant of our people. No matter how bad the reputation is, there will always be people with money to spend. Like every year, we scam tourists, and every year it’s widely reported, but our business gets better year by year! So I say, many Shen Zhou people are just gluttons for punishnt!” Lord Lu said disdainfully, “If you really think we’re scamming tourists and can’t stand it, you can simply not co! They curse us while traveling, yet insist on coming here to get ripped off. I don’t understand the psychology.”

“Oh!” Song Yun nodded and said, “Seems that’s why the news of scamming keeps surfacing, yet it never stops?”

“It’s not just here; many tourist spots nationwide are like this. So are more severe, so less so. Those who travel are wealthy; if we don’t scam them, who else? But with you, we made a mistake in judgnt, and that’s our bad!” Lord Lu said.

“Alright, I hope you can show

your sincerity in apologizing.” Song Yun said pleasantly.

“No problem.” Lord Lu said, “Fifty thousand yuan plus all-you-can-eat seafood here on the house in the future!”

“That’s quite generous of you!” Song Yun chuckled, “But do you think fifty thousand is enough?”

“What? You want more?” Lord Lu’s face darkened, “Fifty thousand is the most I can do. If you want more, it’s a no. We could battle it out; do you think our little scuffle wouldn’t attract the authorities? This SI is our turf. Do you think an outsider can win against locals here?”

Song Yun slowly stood up, smiling, “Our style is, even if we can’t win, we’ll still fight!”
