"It seems that I still need to go and take a look myself. Zhao Chuan must have discovered something, otherwise he wouldn't have given up so easily. Let me go and check it out."

Zhang Tianhao sat there and frowned a few times.

He pressed his eyebrows gently and then collected his thoughts. After all, this time, he felt that the trouble on Zhang Lu's side would definitely not be small.

And it is very likely that the exposure on Zhang Lu's side was not on the gendarmerie's side.

Although he didn't know the reason, he still trusted his feelings.

"Who is targeting Zhang Lu? Is it Director Li from the Special Agents Headquarters, or the agency under Doiyuan, or the Kodama Agency, or some other force?"

He couldn't think of it, but that didn't mean he wouldn't check.

"Hello, is this Jingping-kun?"

At this moment, the phone on Zhang Tianhao's desk rang, interrupting Zhang Tianhao's thoughts.

He frowned slightly and then picked up the phone on the table.

"what!"

Hearing the familiar voice coming from the phone, Zhang Tianhao was stunned. His eyes became much deeper, and even had a hint of complexity.

"I'm Jingping Jiichiro. What can I do for you?"

"Haha, Mr. Jingping, I'm Xiaoxue, Xiaomiao, Xiaoyue, and Xiaotian are back!"

"Oh, you're back. I'll treat you to dinner tonight!"

When Zhang Tianhao heard this, he was confused. It turned out that Wu Xiaoxue, Wu Xiaomiao, Tian Xiaotian, and Luo Yue were the four girls who came back. From their voices, they actually sounded excited.

Zhang Tianhao was speechless for a while, but to be honest, he did miss her a little, after all, they hadn't seen each other for a long time.

It was still January when they left, and now it is early December.

"I'm glad you're back. By the way, are you still living in the same place?"

"Yes, we have already hired someone to clean it!"

"That's good!"

Zhang Tianhao didn't say anything more: "That's it for now, I have something else to do, we'll talk when we meet in the evening."

"it is good!"

Then Zhang Tianhao hung up the phone and relaxed.

He never expected that the four girls would come back. Logically speaking, it was a bit early for them to come back at this time.

He just came back on time, and the more he thought about it, the more confused he became. After all, he didn't want the girls to do this kind of activity again, and he couldn't give enough guarantees about safety.

But he immediately let the thought go. After all, it was enough that someone could come and help him. He didn't even know what the others would be like.

……

Inside the pub, Zhang Tianhao looked at Ichiro Matsui, Jiro Sakai, and Taro Matsushita who were sitting opposite him, and he also laughed.

"Everyone, thank you for coming here to support us. It really makes me feel honored. Come, let me toast to you all!"

Zhang Tianhao raised his wine glass and spoke loudly to the three people.

The atmosphere in the box was also driven by him. From being cold in the beginning, it gradually became lively. After all, the four of them could be said to be the four great masters of Shanghai's Riju District.

However, as time went by, the relationship between the four of them became more and more distant, and they all knew how much calculation was involved.

"Jingping Jun, thank you so much. We haven't had a drink together for a long time. Please!" Matsui Ichiro said in high spirits, "We four brothers have been fighting since the beginning, and now we have all matured. It's rare for us four brothers to have a drink together. So, Jingping Jun invited me, so I came."

"Jing Ping Jun, I'm sorry. I was a little jealous of you before. Now it seems that I was too narrow-minded. Really, I apologize to you!"

Taro Matsushita also raised his wine glass and spoke lightly.

"Matsui-kun, you are so polite."

"Also, Matsushita-kun, although we had conflicts, we were both members of the Empire. At that time, we were indeed a little immature. We could even say that we didn't know the dangers of society. Only after experiencing the beatings of society did I realize how ridiculous I was."

Zhang Tianhao also drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, his eyes slightly red.

"Perhaps my experience can definitely be written into a legendary novel, or even made into a movie. I even doubt that movies dare not film it this way. The hesitation between life and death, in the end, I realized how precious the friendship between us brothers is."

"It's just a minor fight. Compared with the vicious beatings in society, it's really nothing worth mentioning."

Jiro Sakai on the side also raised his cup and drank it, then put the cup heavily on the table, then picked up the jug and poured himself a glass.

"Speaking of which, we each have our own calculations, and we have each suffered losses and been deceived. However, Jingping has become more savvy in the past two years and has been deceived less often. I have wanted to congratulate Jingping-kun for a long time."

"Everyone, have you noticed that when we really took control of our company and began to face the various conspiracies in society, we realized that we were just playing around with small tricks and were complacent about it. Looking back now, we were still too naive at that time."

"Yes, we were too naive back then. No wonder many people in the family just laughed at us and didn't pursue our affairs any further!"

"Also, everyone, have you noticed that after all we have done, in the end, we four brothers are the most reassuring. Even if we lose a little, at least we won't lose everything, right?"

"Anyway, you lose this time, and I lose next time. Anyway, whoever loses will win. It's still in the hands of the four of us brothers, but when it's out there, it's really hard to describe!"

Zhang Tianhao also raised his glass and responded loudly.

"Come on, let's continue drinking. After all these years of getting along, I realized that only when we brothers unite can we have a certain strength to fight against the outside world. If it's just one person, like me, you can see that I used to earn more than 300,000 yuan a month, but now I only make 20,000 or 30,000 yuan. I'm suppressed. It's not because I don't have enough personal strength."

"If we are strong enough, even the Shanghai Chamber of Commerce and the Kodama Agency will have to give us face, not to mention the gendarmerie!"

"Our strength is too dispersed! We are the ones who suffer the consequences."

Zhang Tianhao slowly expressed his thoughts. After all, he had a certain purpose in inviting people to drink this time.

"Jingping Jun, tell me what's wrong. The brothers support you and will help you in any way we can."

"Haha, everyone, this time it's not a question of whether to help or not, but a question of our internal unity. After all, our business circle needs to expand, and my strength alone is not enough to expand it, so I thought of the three brothers."

"I have thought about this for a long time, even a month ago. Finally, I came up with a less mature solution, which is to form a closed-loop rhythm between our businesses, thereby reducing various intermediate consumptions, so that our industry will have better competitiveness."

"Oh, Jingping-kun, tell me about your closed-loop idea. Can you?"

"Of course you can. Just like the textile and garment industry, some of you have raw materials, some spin yarn, some weave cloth, some make clothes, and even have sales channels. But these are not under control. For us, this is a complete waste. I plan to integrate all upstream and downstream industries, and even sales, so that our industry will not be competitive?"

"Integrate them together?"

"How will we divide the money we earn then?"

"That's easy. Let's discuss it and each company specializes in one area. No one can handle it without the other. Then we can distribute the profits. One quarter each."

"No, Jingping, your factory seems to be mainly engaged in garment manufacturing, and it is not very large, right? Not even as many as mine!" At this time, Taro Matsushita seemed to remember something and couldn't help but ask softly.

"No, don't you know that my factory has been expanded? My factory originally had more than a thousand people, and now it has expanded. The garment factory needs at least 4,000 people, including at least 3,500 female workers."

"Not only that, my factory can manufacture machinery and make steel. Although it is small in scale, it can ensure a long-term and stable supply of machinery for the factory."

"As for my original textile factory, I will keep two small workshops to make some work clothes that we need!"

"As a result, I calculated that at that time, only a small steel mill and a machinery factory would be retained, each with only two sets of equipment, as well as a salt factory, a garment factory, and a grocery factory. Although there are only seven, the garment factory is the core. The others are incidental, after all, they cannot be removed, so they can only be retained." (End of this chapter)
