Since it had been decided, Zhou Ming took Su Han to stay in the famous Peace Hotel on the Bund, waiting for news from Li Qingyuan. However, this waited for a whole day. When he woke up the next morning, there was still no news from Li Qingyuan, and there was not even phone or pager information.

Su Han was very surprised by this: "Is something wrong? Should we take the initiative to contact there?"

Zhou Ming thought about it and shook his head and said, "No rush for the time being. It may take some time for discussion there. We might as well wait first. Li Qingyuan is a very smart and thoughtful person. Since he has not contacted us, he will naturally have his considerations, so we should choose to trust him and be more patient."

Su Han trusts Zhou Ming 100% and has worked with Li Qingyuan for several years, and her understanding of this general manager is even greater than that of Zhou Ming. He will definitely answer everything he told him in the past, no matter what he did. Now that there has been no news for so long, there must be reasons why they don’t understand. In this case, they don’t have to interfere, so they have to choose to be patient.

So Zhou Ming took Su Han to visit the Binhai City. Originally, Zhou Ming planned to go to the City God Temple with Su Han to have snacks first, and then go to worship the City God and pray for blessings.

However, I don’t know if General Huo Guang was really showing his spirit or what, Zhou Ming and Su Han had just left the main hall of the City God Temple and actually received a call from Liu Bangyan, No. 35 on the Bund, saying that he would be invited to No. 35 on the Bund as a guest.

This sudden invitation made Zhou Ming a little confused, but he had nothing to do anyway. Since someone invited him to a meal, it would be no big deal to go.

With this idea, Zhou Ming and Su Han quickly arrived at No. 35 on the Bund. This time, Liu Bangyan actually greeted him at the door. The security guard who made Zhou Ming embarrassed yesterday was no longer there, and I don’t know if he was dealt with or was transferred to the shift.

Liu Bangyan first said hello to Zhou Ming, and then looked at Su Han with a little embarrassed look. Zhou Ming asked the reason, and Su Han told Zhou Ming that she had come to Binhai before and wanted to make an appointment for Liu's food, but she had never been arranged.

"It seems that Liu Banyan owed me another meal!" Zhou Ming said.

"I really didn't know about Ms. Su Han and you, and our Liu Jiacai also had its own rules..."

Liu Bangyan originally wanted to explain, but then sighed helplessly: "But since Mr. Zhou Ming, you spoke, then that's it."

Liu Bangyan then took Zhou Ming and Su Han into the room. Bypassing the screen, the familiar dining room was still the familiar round dining table and furnishings. There were also eight waitresses wearing cheongsams and about the same height and figure standing by the side, waiting to serve the guests. Behind the gauze curtain in front, the hazy figure holding the pipa was still singing Pingtan in a small voice.

Zhou Ming and Su Han came to the dining table to sit down. Liu Bangyan also sat down while instructing the waiter to serve the dishes.

Liu Bangyan first filled a glass of wine for himself: "Mr. Zhou Ming and Ms. Su Han, whether it was for me not to arrange Ms. Su Han's banquet or for yesterday's incident, I need to borrow this glass of wine to apologize to you."

As Liu Bangyan said that, he picked up the wine glass and drank it all. Zhou Ming and Su Han also drank a little symbolically.

"So since I have drunk the wine, can Liu Bangyan fulfill his promise and tell me the situation in Binhai?" Zhou Ming asked, "Or Liu Bangyan thinks we should continue to be polite for a while?" Liu Bangyan's expression was a little awkward, and he was obviously very uncomfortable with Zhou Ming's chat rhythm.

If it were someone else, it would be a mess, but Liu Bangyan was finally Liu Bangyan, the general manager of No. 35 on the Bund, and he still has a lot of experience in receiving people and treating things.

He thought for a while and said, "Mr. Zhou Ming, you are very smart. I do have the idea of ​​discussing the situation with Mr. Zhou Ming. But I don't know if you really want to hear me. After all, I am No. 35 on the Bund and I also need to rely on one force."

"So which force are you relying on?" Zhou Ming asked again.

Although Liu Bangyan guessed that Zhou Ming would ask this, when he really heard him ask this, he was still a little embarrassed: "Mr. Zhou Ming is still so direct, so I'm not afraid to tell Mr. Zhou Ming that we are dependent on the Huang family."

It's true!

Zhou Ming actually called Huang Rong yesterday and Huang Rong was able to arrange for him to go to No. 35 on the Bund and let Liu Bangyan come to greet him in person. Zhou Ming had already thought about this possibility. And as the head of the family, Mr. Huang Renping, entered the central government, the status of the Huang family increased, and it was normal for Liu family to rely on the Huang family.

"So what does the Huang family want Liu Bangyan to say to me?" Zhou Ming asked.

Liu Bangyan shook his head: "I made a special trip to invite Mr. Zhou Ming, you are here today. It is not because of the Huang family, but because I want to fulfill yesterday's promise and tell Mr. Zhou Ming that your power in Binhai."

Zhou Ming did not say anything about this, and Liu Bangyan then briefly explained the situation on Binhai side to Zhou Ming.

"Binhai is a city with a very historical and profound sense, especially in modern times, which is almost a microcosm of our country and nation. It is precisely because of this that the situation of Binhai has always been very complicated and is still the case now."

Liu Bangyan told Zhou Ming: "I dare say that no one can tell the situation in Binhai clearly, so I can't. I can only tell Mr. Zhou Ming that there are four main masters in Binhai, namely the Huang family, and Mr. Zhou Ming, the Fan family and Shen family that you met yesterday, and the Lin family where a big figure in the central government came from..."

Liu Bangyan then briefly told Zhou Ming about the information of these four masters, which was roughly similar to Su Han’s knowledge.

The Huang family is the one that Zhou Ming knows best and is also the only capital consortium family in China designated by the imperial family; the Fan family is a capital family that has been passed down for more than two thousand years. It is also said that the reason why the Huang family was helped up was to compete with the Fan family. As for the Shen family, it developed from the Qing Gang of the Binhai in the past, and relied on the past power to firmly occupy one acre of three parts of its land in Binhai, especially in labor-intensive industries such as real estate and construction.

The Lin family is a relatively exceptional family because it did not exist in the old Binhai, but after liberation, it was developed by the Binhai Municipal Party Committee Secretary as the head of the Lin family gradually became the secretary of the Binhai Municipal Party Committee. Especially after Lin Zekang was elected as the president of the country, no one could bypass the Lin family in Binhai. The special Lin family is here because the paths taken by the Lin family are mostly political and have made few achievements in business. However, the power of the Lin family in the Binhai Exchange should not be underestimated.

After hearing Liu Banyan's words, Zhou Ming smiled helplessly: "It seems that Liu Banyan's words did not help me much."

Liu Bangyan spread his hands unsupportedly: "It's hard to help, as I said before, Binhai is too big and the water in the Huangpu River is too deep. No one knows how many big and small fish there are. On the surface, it is indeed these four majors, but there are also many family consortiums with great strength below. In addition, with the continued development of the Binhai Exchange and the continued opening of the Binhai financial market, it's hard to say whether the chaebol forces in other parts of the country will also pour in."

"Say something a bit presumptuous." Liu Bangyan said, "Just like the previous president, Mr. Yang appointed so many people, and I don't know how many people stared at that position. Who knew that a Lin Zekang suddenly came out and stepped on the red families in the capital."

Liu Bangyan said and breathed, leaned on the chair and said, "So it's hard to say whether there are any fishes hiding huge ambitions and wanting to bubble up under this turbid Huangpu River... Or, there are many fish, and they all have this idea."

"It also includes your Liu family?" Zhou Ming asked suddenly.

This sudden question caught Liu Bangyan off guard because no one would ask such a question in person. Even he thought about it carefully for a while before nodding and answering: "Yes."

Zhou Ming was a little surprised: "Liu Bangyan is quite honest. He is not planning to kill me to silence me, right?"

Liu Bangyan smiled: "Mr. Zhou Ming is really good at joking. I just think that in front of Mr. Zhou Ming, lies are just about to cover up."

Suddenly, Zhou Ming's phone that he had been carrying with him rang, which made Liu Banyan stunned, but then Liu Banyan seemed to have thought of something.

"It seems that what Mr. Zhou Ming has been waiting for should have a result, so I will avoid it first."

Liu Bangyan said this and then stood up and left.

After he did leave, Zhou Ming answered the phone, and it was indeed Li Qingyuan called.

"Mr. Zhou Ming, I am on the way to Binhai. Where are you now? According to your request, I also brought a very important friend." Li Qingyuan said.

"I'm here at No. 35 Bund now. If your itinerary is fast enough, you might be able to catch up with lunch." Zhou Ming said.

"What? Mr. Zhou Ming, you went to No. 35 on the Bund? Did they say anything to you?" Li Qingyuan suddenly asked, his tone also became a little nervous.

This made Zhou Ming feel a little strange. It seems that as Liu Bangyan said just now, their position is also a problem.

"I didn't say anything, I just analyzed the situation in Binhai with me." Zhou Ming said the truth.

Li Qingyuan still didn't let go. He seemed to ask the people next to him, and then said: "Mr. Zhou Ming, if you can, we will meet on a cruise ship on the Huangpu River in the afternoon. What do you think?"

"Of course there is no problem." Zhou Ming replied, then hung up the phone.

After a while, Liu Bangyan returned to the dining room. Before he sat down, he asked Zhou Ming directly: "It seems that Mr. Zhou Ming is going to leave?"

Zhou Ming nodded and said that it was like this: "Let's eat Liujia food next time I have the chance."

Zhou Ming then left. It was also when Zhou Ming left that the woman who had been singing Pingtan behind the gauze curtain walked out again, and Liu Bangyan bowed to her very respectfully.

"I'm sorry, the top scorer, I didn't get much of this dinner," said Liu Bangyan.

But the woman shook her head gently: "I think I have gained a lot."
