Inheritance of Two Trillion-Chapter 2311 - 1752: New Ally (Part 2)

When Jia Chengshan spoke these words, the others also looked at Bai Xiaosheng, their eyes filled with anticipation.

Bai Xiaosheng looked a bit troubled, furrowing his brows and smacking his lips as he said, "Oh dear, this is a bit tricky. I’ve heard that in the past, you’ve also adopted rather aggressive competitive actions against Tengyun, Beifeng, and Haoyu. Now they’re just learning from you. Is there anything illegal or in violation about their methods? If not, why stop them? Moreover, business investments are not child’s play; it is a great taboo to change strategies arbitrarily. Even if I have a good relationship with them, how could just a few words from me put a stop to it? You must think too highly of me. How would I compensate them for any resulting losses?"

Bai Xiaosheng did not refuse to help, but only pointed out the difficulty of the matter and emphasized the "principle" involved.

Jia Chengshan hurriedly said, "We are well aware of these things! Of course, we wouldn’t just ask Mr. Bai to say a few words and expect Mr. Lu and his team to stop legitimate competition. We only ask to cooperate together in developing the areas in which they have gained the advantage along with all of us. In the areas where we hold the advantage, it would be the same! We have control over several resources, including a few plots of land and some exclusive policies, and we are willing to share these benefits with them. What do you think of this?"

Jia Chengshan earnestly wished to open the door to collaboration, and naturally, the others had no objections.

Bai Xiaosheng pondered in silence, lifting his teacup to take small sips.

Jia Chengshan and the others kept their eyes fixed on him, awaiting his response.

"You seem to be asking me to be a mediator." Bai Xiaosheng put down his teacup and said with a smile.

"No!" Jia Chengshan replied earnestly, denying the notion as he continued, "We are more interested in collaborating with Mr. Bai’s Zhenbei Group and your friends from the global business community! If you help us in this matter, we will not forget it. Here, on behalf of everyone present, I promise you that we will offer the highest level of benefits in collaborations with your side without any additional conditions. We also hope to stand by you in the long term of commercial cooperation without betraying you!"

Jia Chengshan’s words were spoken with absolute sincerity. He even looked around and added solemnly, "Anyone who disagrees or acts duplicitously at the front and back should never think of cooperating with the rest of us again!"

Everyone present had a stern look, nodding in agreement, "That’s right, Mr. Jia is correct, that is certain!"

"We won’t collaborate with two-faced people!"

"In the future, we are willing to follow Mr. Bai’s lead without any additional conditions!"

Seeing everyone express themselves with such urgency and sincerity, Bai Xiaosheng felt it was about time.

These people were well-known figures; if such statements were not reliable, then nothing else would be guaranteed.

It’s best to seize the opportunity.

Bai Xiaosheng stood up sincerely and said to Jia Chengshan and the others, "You all are too kind; settling conflicts amicably and making money through cooperation is a win-win, and that couldn’t be better. I’ll take on this matter and strive to mediate without letting you down. At the same time, please rest assured that if you cooperate with us or with my introduced friends, I guarantee you won’t be at a disadvantage!"

In the business world, no one is foolish; mutual benefit is the key to longevity.

Bai Xiaosheng’s words were sincere and reasonable. Although his strategic move had caused some setbacks for everyone, he knew when to stop, was neither arrogant nor haughty, and kept a low profile while being reasonable, earning heartfelt admiration from everyone present.

Even Jia Chengshan felt a sense of admiration: If this young man becomes a business alliance hierarch, he would accept it!

Jia Chengshan stood up and earnestly cupped his hands, "Thank you, Mr. Bai."

The others also stood up in succession, echoing, "Thank you, Mr. Bai!" "Thanks for your trouble!"

With the conversation reaching this point, it could be considered a conclusion. Bai Xiaosheng asked Jia Chengshan and the others to go back and wait for news, saying he would start working on it immediately.

Receiving Bai Xiaosheng’s promise, Jia Chengshan and the others felt somewhat relieved and took their leave.

Bai Xiaosheng accompanied them all the way to the courtyard gate, displaying thorough courtesy.

Once Jia Chengshan and his group left, Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying couldn’t help but gather around Bai Xiaosheng to inquire about what happened.

Upon learning the details of the conversation, Lin Weiwei broke into a beaming smile, "These guys, showing off to us before, have now completely bowed their heads, understanding Xiaosheng’s prowess! Hmph, if they had known, why bother with their previous attitude?"

"Without this turn of events, how would those experienced individuals be subdued by a young man like Xiaosheng?" Lei Ying said with a smile.

"That’s not entirely accurate," Bai Xiaosheng replied with a smile, "Such words are exaggerated! These big figures are guided by interests, putting profits first, and they were just minimizing their losses. There is no deep-seated hatred between us, no need to fight to the bitter end. Otherwise, if they were to fight to the death, Mr. Lu Yun and his group might not be unscathed, possibly even severely damaged, and that would be counterproductive! Allowing these people to recognize our strength and attitude is a blessing for them and for us!"

Bai Xiaosheng remained neither arrogant nor impatient, clearly recognizing the reality and speaking with a high level of wisdom.

Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying repeatedly nodded in agreement.

Bai Xiaosheng took a deep look in the direction where Jia Chengshan and his group left, then turned around. He still needed to liaise with Tengyun and the others to properly handle the competitive and cooperative relationships between them.

Later in the evening, Dong Tianxiu came to see Bai Xiaosheng and was delighted to learn about the situation, saying he would return home from Huajing today.

Dong Tianxiu invited Bai Xiaosheng to visit their home again at his convenience, and Bai Xiaosheng smiled and agreed.

Tomorrow, Bai Xiaosheng and his team would also leave to return to the Greater China Region Headquarters.

With matters settled, things ended satisfactorily.

In the evening, Bai Xiaosheng personally communicated the intention to reconcile and cooperate with Tengyun to Jia Chengshan and the others.

Subsequently, the two parties would meet again to discuss cooperation details. Bai Xiaosheng was no longer involved in that.

Jia Chengshan and the others were extremely grateful to Bai Xiaosheng and insisted on hosting a banquet for him in the evening. Bai Xiaosheng had no reason to refuse, but just as he was about to agree, his phone rang.

Glancing at the phone, Bai Xiaosheng found that it was an extraordinary individual calling.

Immediately, Bai Xiaosheng apologized to Jia Chengshan and the others and stepped outside to answer the phone.

"Director Hou, how do you have the time to call me?"

The caller was Director Hou Yuncheng. Although his position didn’t seem very high-ranking, the department he was in was of national importance, exceptional, managing the economy internally and trade externally, extremely powerful.

Previously, when Bai Xiaosheng experienced turmoil in South America and North America, causing many disruptions to his businesses at home, Director Hou significantly helped in maintaining stability.

After all, Bai Xiaosheng and his team were involved with numerous enterprises across various industries, and they couldn’t afford chaos.

Bai Xiaosheng had met Director Hou Yuncheng several times and got along well with him.

"Bai Xiaosheng, Mr. Bai, you’re in Huajing? I only just found out! I must show some hospitality as your host. How about having dinner at my place tonight?" Director Hou chuckled, "Additionally, I have a little work-related matter to discuss with you, our major entrepreneur; can you make it?"

This Director Hou was honest and dedicated to the public good, and Bai Xiaosheng admired him quite a bit.

Faced with his invitation, Bai Xiaosheng naturally agreed.

"Sure, I wouldn’t want to trouble you." Bai Xiaosheng smiled.

Director Hou told Bai Xiaosheng his home address and time and chatted a bit more before ending the call.

Bai Xiaosheng returned to Jia Chengshan and his group, who were still enthusiastic, inquiring about having dinner together in the evening.

Bai Xiaosheng regretfully said, "This evening I really can’t make it; I have an important appointment, not to disregard everyone. When you visit me for an inspection, I will host a banquet for all of you!"

Seeing this, Jia Chengshan and the others did not press further.

With their business done, Bai Xiaosheng left with Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying.

On the way, upon learning that Director Hou Yuncheng wanted to meet them, Lin Weiwei was quite curious, "I wonder what the Director wants to discuss when he said it’s work-related. What could it be?"

Bai Xiaosheng pondered briefly and then replied with a smile, "Don’t speculate wildly; we’ll find out when we meet in the evening!"
