Yes, then let’s do it tonight!
Li Zhichun said. He looked at his watch. He still had a lot of time to operate it.

Okay, then let’s do it tonight!
Huang Xiaofei was also afraid of long delays causing complications, so he readily agreed. Of course, he did not know what awaited him was a scam.
He lied to Huang Lele, but Li Zhichun lied to him. This was a series of scams, but Li Zhichun still did not know.
Li Zhichun hung up the phone and began to get busy. He first called his younger son, Li Tianyu.

Tianyu, how are you?
Li Zhichun dialed Li Tianyu’s phone.



Father, the gold mine has been completely occupied by others, but it seems that General Kars has not retrieved the gold mine. I think it is because their armed forces are too strong, which made General Kars not dare to act rashly.
Li Tianyu analyzed. He did not know the story between General Kars and Yang Ming. He thought that General Kars was fearful of Yang Ming’s armed forces and did not make a move.
In fact, General Kars feared the person, Yang Ming. Of course, these armed forces were also a factor.

Really? General Kars did not actually make a move?
Li Zhichun was also very puzzled with hatred suffocating in his heart. General Kars simply preyed on the weak and feared the strong, but what could Li Zhichun do about it?
In that war-torn country, it followed the law of the jungle naturally. There were no rules at all. Whoever had the stronger power got to be the boss! According to Li Tianyu, the other party’s armed forces were very strong. It was normal for General Kars to be fearful.

No, General Kars came personally later on, but he did not reclaim the gold mine.
Li Tianyu said,
I don’t know about the things that followed. I have now withdrawn to our family’s iron mine. It’s still considered safe now.


Ai!
Li Zhichun sighed and said,
Our strength is too weak, but that kind of place is definitely not the place where businessmen like us can hang around.

Although the Li Family also had a small armed force, it was just a militia with rifles. It was enough to protect his small iron mine. But if he wanted to fight with others, it was not enough for the opponents to even warm up.
Li Zhichun also understood that if his armed forces were strong enough, General Kars would not treat him like the situation right now. Never mind respect; there would at least be some courtesy in his words. At this moment, he had to act very humbly to curry favor.
Thinking of the gap between the two, Li Zhichun could not help but endure. Yet he had the Huang Family as the victim, fortunately. Li Zhichun could still scam the Huang Family.

Father, what should we do now?
Li Tianjia didn’t want to give up. In fact, Li Tianjia was responsible for the family’s overseas business. However, the overseas business was only limited to the iron mine of Country X. The income was far worse than that of the family-owned company. He thought that after the successful investment of this gold mine, his position in the family could also rise; but it ended in failure, which he did not want to see.



What can we do?
Li Zhichun sighed.
We can only put it aside first!


Ah… is there any other way?
Li Tianyu hurried.

Tianyu!
Li Zhichun suddenly said earnestly,
Actually, I know what you are thinking! You want to improve your position in the family business through the investment of the gold mine in Country X. You want me to pay attention to you. Is that right?


I…
With his father pointing out his worries, Li Tianyu was somewhat embarrassed. He mumbled and denied,
How could I? Father, I am also thinking about making money for the family!


Hehe, you don’t have to deny it!
Li Zhichun said with a smile,
As your father, I know your petty thoughts. Your elder brother is a few years older than you. He took over the company one step ahead of you. If it were another person, that person would be emotional no matter what!


Father…
Li Tianyu would never admit that, so he quickly denied.

Don’t rush to deny it. Listen to me!
Li Zhichun interrupted Li Tianyu’s words and continued,
Actually, you want to increase your capital with the investment of African Country X. This is understandable. However, Tianyu, you are still young. There is no need to be in a hurry. Moreover, your father’s body is still very tough and healthy. I won’t die so quickly. There are still many opportunities for you to stand out!


Father, I got it!
Since his father had already understood his own thoughts, Li Tianyu could no longer deny it, so he nodded and admitted it.

Moreover, now I want you to do something for me. If you do it well, the benefits will be much better than the income of your Country X gold mine!
Li Zhichun said,
If this matter were to succeed, I will give you great merit!


Alright! Father, you can rest assured. I will cooperate with you!
Li Tianyu quickly said after listening,
What is the matter, Father? Tell me about it.




En, this is the case. Are we not contracting the gold mine with the Huang Family!? The Huang Family has prepared the rent, forty billion patacas!
said Li Zhichun.

Ah? Isn’t the gold mine matter not working out? Is there any use for rent?
Li Tianyu said baffled.

It’s true that we don’t have to give General Kars the rental fee, but the Huang Family can give it to us!
Li Zhichun paused as he spoke up to here, and he sneered,
We, the Li Family, have done so much work for such a long time. The effort can’t be in vain, right?


Father, what do you mean…
Li Tianyu was stunned and immediately understood the situation. He said,
Father, you want to scam the Huang Family’s money? But how is this possible?


What is impossible? As long as you cooperate well, then this will become possible!
Li Zhichun said affirmatively.

However, how can I cooperate? The Huang Family are not fools. When this money has been given to us, and yet he cannot contract the gold mine, will he simply give up?
Li Tianyu asked inexplicably.

I took his money. Of course, he won’t give up, but what about others?
Li Zhichun said,
What about General Kars? What can he do? Last time, he lost so much money and suffered a great loss, yet he is afraid to speak out. Didn’t he suffer bitterly end quietly?


Ah? Father, you mean that we have to falsify that General Kars has taken the money. Is that true?
Li Tianyu was not stupid and immediately understood his father’s intention.
But if General Kars receives the money, and the Huang Family didn’t get the gold mine, so what can he do? Can he make a fuss?


General Kars has reneged once, couldn’t he renege for a second time?
Li Zhichun sneered,
Also, I’ll say that General Kars had agreed, but the gold mine was occupied by another group of armed forces who claimed to be from the Huang Family. What else can the Huang Family do? If he is capable, he can go to the armed forces to get the gold mine!


I see… but it works!
Li Tianyu nodded after listening.
But, isn’t this a scam? It is not too good, right? In case the Huang Family learns the truth…




How could he know? Besides, this time, the forty billion patacas may be the last of the wealth and life-savings of the Huang Family. If the money’s gone, the Huang Family will be finished. There is no Huang Family anymore. Why do I need to be afraid of him?
Li Zhichun said indifferently.

This is also true!
Li Tianyu thought for a moment,
Haha, Father, you are very wily. We lose nothing!


That is true. You brothers must learn something. Whoever learns to be as treacherous as me can shoulder the pillar of the family!
Li Zhichun said,
We can’t be too kind in doing business. All businessmen are evil. This is the truth!


Father, I understand. I will do whatever you say!
Li Tianyu heard his father’s tone and said quickly.

You send people to open an account in the bank in Africa. It is best to forge an identity document and open an account in the name of General Kars so that the Huang Family will not be suspicious!
Li Zhichun said,
This is the first step. You have no problem doing it, right?


No problem! Father, rest assured. This is a piece of cake!
Li Tianyu promised.

En, then, look around your men. Is there anyone whose voice is similar to General Kars? Even if it doesn’t sound like it, it doesn’t matter. Initially, Huang Xiaofei didn’t know General Kars. Moreover, it is normal for the voice over the phone to have a slight variation. He will not be suspicious!
Li Zhichun said,
At that time, I will call you. You will pretend to speak in General Kars’ tone to cooperate with me!


Okay! This is easy to handle. I will pick the best candidate out later.
Li Tianyu nodded.

En, but I can’t be sure of the content of the conversation yet, because Huang Xiaofei is on the side. He may ask questions which requires you to adapt on the spot, but this is not a big problem with your IQ, right?
Li Zhichun smiled.

Do not worry, Father. This is easy! I am the best for this!
Li Tianyu assured.



What you have to do is just this. It seems simple but don’t make any mistakes. In that case, our plan will fail!
said Li Zhichun.

You don’t have to worry about this. I will not let you down!
said Li Tianyu.
Li Zhichun replied,
en,
and he hung up the phone with confidence. On his side, he had to plan how to approach Huang Xiaofei.
…
Old Buffon didn’t wait until the next morning. After he returned to his room that evening, he called the city’s parliament member – the owner of the opera house, Mr. Locklaring.

Hello? Who is calling?
Locklaring rubbed his drowsy eyes and looked at the bedside clock. It was around eleven o’clock in the evening. Who would call at such a late hour? So, Locklaring’s voice was unfriendly!
It was not strange since he was a rich man in this city, a member of the upper class, and a member of the city parliament. It was pretty normal for him to be arrogant.

It’s me, Old Buffon.
Old Buffon declared his identity.

Old Buffon? Who?
Locklaring was stunned, then his mind became awake immediately.
Patriarch Buffon, is that you?


It’s me,
said Old Buffon affirmatively.

Ah… I am sorry, Patriarch Buffon. I am a little confused due to my sleep. Please forgive me for being rude just now!
Locklaring suddenly changed his attitude. Indeed, never mind about him; even the mayor of the city had to be respectful toward Old Buffon. No one dared to have the slightest negligence! With one word from the Patriarch, the mayor might step down, let alone he, a member of parliament!
Besides, the music group owned by the head office of the company was still controlled by Old Buffon’s family. If it were really based on seniority, he was just a minor character in the hands of others.

It doesn’t matter.
Old Buffon was anxious to do things for Yang Ming, and he wouldn’t pursue these small details.
There is one thing. Miss Shu Ya’s concert tickets, you have them, right?


Ah?
Locklaring was surprised. He thought, How come Patriarch Old Buffon still wants to go to the concert? But despite it being strange, he said quickly,
Yes, of course, you can have any number of tickets!

Although Shu Ya was not as popular in Europe as she was in Asia, she was still a famous celebrity. Especially among young people, she was well-liked. Hence, the tickets sales were still very hot.
However, when Patriarch Old Buffon wanted tickets, he could have however many he wanted. Locklaring would rather not sell all the concert tickets and willingly give all of them to Old Buffon! Even if the head office pursued it, Locklaring was not afraid!
Even if the chairman of the head office saw Old Buffon, he still had to be respectful!

Alright, help me reserve four tickets with good seats.
Old Buffon said,
How much will that be? I will ask my family to send it to you.


This is the gift I gave you. Forget about money.
How could Locklaring ask for money? Again, it was just four tickets. It was not a big deal.

Then I will accept it.
Old Buffon did not say much. In his opinion, there was no need to go back and forth because of these small things.
Yes, do you know which company is the organizer of Shu Ya’s concert?


The organizer is the parent company of our theater group – Sound Magic Music Group.
Locklaring said,
However, the specific matters are controlled by the local opera house. Patriarch Buffon, what can I do for you?


This is the case. I have a very important guest – in terms of seniority, he is also my elder! He likes Miss Shu Ya. Do you think you can arrange for them to meet?
said Old Buffon.

This…
Locklaring hesitated. He was troubled deep down in his heart, but he obviously misunderstood Old Buffon’s intention.

Why? Is there a problem?
Old Buffon asked.
Do you want me to contact the Sound Magic Music Group?


You don’t need to do that…
Locklaring had to say it truthfully,
Mr. Buffon, Miss Shu Ya is the VIP we invited, not a singer of our music group. Some things we can’t help with around her. Miss Shu Ya’s family is also very prominent. She was once invited by Miss Alice… If your friend did something to her…

When Old Buffon heard Locklaring saying this, he laughed all of a sudden.
Locklaring! You misunderstood. I am just asking you to give a chance for them to meet. It is as simple as just a meetup. There is no other request! Whether he can get Miss Shu Ya’s favor is entirely up to my friend!


So that’s the case!
Locklaring breathed a sigh of relief. He thought that the friend of Patriarch Old Buffon wanted to utilize some unspoken rules. He was troubled greatly. After all, this was not his own singer, and he couldn’t ask something from her.

Then I am relieved. I am sorry. I just misunderstood. You also know that in my position, many rich people look for me to introduce small celebrities for them to play with…
Locklaring apologized.

Hehe, I understand.
Old Buffon didn’t say anything about it.
This is not a problem, right?


Not at all! I can invite you and your friends to attend the celebration party. How about it?
said Locklaring.

There are too many people celebrating the feast. You see if there are any small banquets, such as a welcoming banquet with only a few people would be the best!
said Old Buffon.

Okay, then I will arrange it!
said Locklaring.

After you have arranged it, call me! My phone is… This is my personal phone number; you can just call it directly!
Old Buffon gave Locklaring his private phone number.
Locklaring suddenly got excited! This was the private phone of Patriarch Old Buffon. In fact, many people wanted to have this phone number, but they could not. How could Locklaring not be excited since he owned it?
No matter what, he must do it with all his heart, and the requirements of the Old Buffon patriarch were not high. It was just to join a banquet, not a big deal.
When Locklaring hung up the phone, he took out his work log, recorded the matter, and prepared to address it tomorrow.
However, as Locklaring just hung up, the ringtone of the phone was heard again. Locklaring thought it was still Old Buffon calling, forgetting to mention something, so he picked up the phone quickly, and respectfully said,
Do you need me to help you with anything?


Parliament member Locklaring, you have done a good job! I called you on my son’s phone. You are still so polite with an unknown number. I think you are a member that is in touch with people!
The voice of Mark Vader, the mayor of this city, came through the phone.

Hello, Mayor Mark Vader!
Locklaring was shocked. He thought, What happened tonight? How come all the big shots are calling me? However, he did not expect his respectful tone had gotten the mayor’s appreciation. This made Locklaring very happy.

En, Locklaring, I heard that your opera house is going to hold a concert recently?
said Mayor Mark Vader.

This is the case, Mayor Mark Vader.
Locklaring said,
It is the concert of an Asian celebrity, Miss Shu Ya!


That’s not bad! There is something I need to trouble you with. My son, Maligeben, is a fan of Miss Shu Ya. I just want to ask for a few tickets to the concert!
said Mayor Mark Vader.

No problem!
Locklaring quickly promised,
It is a small matter. I will send someone to the mayor’s office tomorrow.
