Ding Qing pondered for a moment, then picked up his teacup and said calmly, "President Jinmen, what good will it do you if I go up there? Are you going to help me?"
He doesn't believe there's any such thing as a free lunch in the world.
Everything depends on strength.
He was quite powerful in Kinmen, so why did the Dragon Ancestor help him instead of Li Zhongjiu?
Ding Qing didn't think he had any special personal charm that would make a complete stranger help him unconditionally.
"Of course there are benefits. Tony and you have a good relationship. Your rise to a higher position will increase your influence within Kinmen. Also, I just finalized a deal with Samsung here..."
"With you here, I believe Tony's business will not involve any double-crossing in the future. On the other hand, the current leader of the Tiger Sect, Li Zhongjiu, is ambitious and unethical!" Dragon Ancestor looked at Ding Qing with a smile.
"Without your help, I definitely wouldn't have been able to rise to the top?" Ding Qing said somewhat seriously.
It's not that he didn't want to be the president.
Rather, it was the feeling that the Dragon Ancestor gave him was too dangerous.
His subconscious told him that he was no match for the young man in front of him.
"Of course not. First of all, Li Zhongjiu has more manpower and more territory than you. You are already at a disadvantage. Even if you bring down Li Zhongjiu, there is still the vice president there who will reap the benefits!" Long Zu said calmly.
He had already foreseen the situation in Kinmen.
From any perspective, it would be difficult for Ding Qing to rise to power.
of course……
That was part of the original story, and the Dragon Ancestor believed that his interference would inevitably lead to a different outcome.
"It's not that I'm unwilling, but it's hard for me to believe what you say, and I'm afraid that if I cooperate with you, I'll end up being devoured without a trace," Ding Qing said, shaking his head with a serious expression.
A person he couldn't understand at all.
Chapter 302 Fierce Tiger!
It is very likely that the real tiger is hiding in the shadows.
Hear the words.
The Dragon Ancestor crossed his legs, smiled, and shook his head.
He greatly admired Ding Qing's prudence.
only……
"That's a good idea. If you don't cooperate with me, will you have any chance of survival once Li Zhongjiu comes to power?"
“Not only will you die, but your brother Li Zicheng will also die. Do you think Li Zhongjiu would allow the two of you brothers to wield so much power in Kinmen?”
The Dragon Ancestor's words immediately silenced Ding Qing for 15 seconds.
Ding Qing remained silent for a long time before sitting down in his chair and saying in a deep voice:
"Mr. Long, even if what you say is true, so what? How can I believe you?"
"Give me a reason why I should cooperate with you. As you said, I am not necessarily going to lose."
Currently in Kinmen, even though the Tiger Faction is the strongest, has the most people, and the most territory, it is still the most powerful.
But being good doesn't guarantee victory.
"If the two of us brothers work together, I feel that I can strive to become the chairman, but there is no real benefit in cooperating with you."
Ding Qing remained remarkably calm.
If he could fight without external help, why did he have to let the Dragon Ancestor intervene?
If problems arise, it will not only be a sinner against the entire Kinmen region, but it will also push itself into an abyss.
After hearing this, Long Zu smiled calmly and said slowly, "Ding Qing, I want to ask you, if you are satisfied with just being the president of the Golden Gate Association, then I really will look down on you."
Long Zu paused halfway through his sentence, then continued, "As long as you cooperate with me, you will gain complete control of the entire underground forces and all the gangs in South Korea, or become the biggest chairman."
"At that time, Samsung Group will be in the open while you remain in the shadows. In the legitimate world, Samsung Group will be the most powerful, while in the triad world, you, Ding Qing, will be the most powerful. Are you satisfied with this reason?"
The Dragon Ancestor tapped the table lightly with his index finger and said with a smile.
These words shocked Ding Qing so much that he suddenly looked up.
"Hey, Mr. Long, are you kidding me? Do you even know how many powerful gangs there are in South Korea?"
"The Seven Star Gang is a prime example. Not only is it powerful, but it also has the Samsung Group behind it, along with a large number of other gangs and branches of other gangs."
Seeing Ding Qing's disbelieving look, the Dragon Ancestor smiled and shook his head.
He then pointed to the building outside and said:
"You might as well look at how big the whole of South Korea is. There are no more than five gangs that are more powerful than Kinmen."
"As long as you can rise to the top, I, Chairman Kinmen, guarantee that I can help you become the head of a gang in this South Korean country."
Faced with the conditions of the Dragon Ancestor.
Ding Qing slowly shook his head.
He was very satisfied with the conditions offered by the Dragon Ancestor, and was even somewhat excited.
If it were truly possible, 713 would be a meteoric rise for him.
but!
Ding Qing stared at Long Zu and slowly said, "Mr. Long, you only made a verbal promise and gave me an empty check. How can I believe or trust that what you said is true? As for whether you can do it, what guarantees do you have?"
Being cautious by nature, he would not be blinded by such a small amount of profit.
After all, any benefits that haven't been realized are just illusions.
Tony smiled and, at the Dragon Ancestor's instruction, took out a document from the drawer.
"Ding Qing, come and see. My boss, the chairman of Longteng Group, just completed a strategic cooperation with Samsung Group a few days ago. We plan to enter the real estate industry in the entire country."
Chapter 303: Purpose!
"As you know, South Korea's real estate market is not yet fully developed, and there is huge potential for profit in it."
Tony's voice was strong and powerful.
He still trusted Tony to some extent.
"Besides that, I guarantee that once the contract is signed, you will be in charge of all the land for the real estate developments," Long Zu said with a smile.
Ding Qing was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth.
He handles all the land transactions for the entire South Korean real estate market.
The profits can be imagined.
Even the profits of Kinmen over ten years cannot compare to this small amount of scraps.
After all, although South Korea is small, prices are not low.
“Mr. Long, you have asked me to be the president of the Kinmen Association this time, but I am not the only one with power and influence in Kinmen. Li Zhongjiu and my younger brother Li Zicheng are also capable.”
"Why did you have to come to me? Even if you went to the vice president, he would have a legitimate reason to take over, as long as you provide some support and manpower."
Ding Qing first mumbled something before finally finishing speaking, word by word.
"Why should I cooperate with you? Heh—" Dragon Ancestor sneered and said indifferently.
"For no other reason than that cooperating with Li Zhongjiu could mean being bitten by this venomous snake at any time."
"As for your brother? His identity..." The Dragon Ancestor stopped there, looking at Ding Qing with an extremely eerie smile.
"But you're different. Not only are you loyal and righteous, but you're also quick-witted. Most importantly, we're both from the Divine Dragon Kingdom. Compared to these Koreans, I trust my compatriots more. What do you say, Chairman Ding?!"
Long Zu grinned, especially emphasizing the words "Chairman Ding".
Everything he said struck a chord with Ding Qing.
He's been a hoodlum for so long, how much blood has he shed, and how many people has he killed?
He was thinking that he had to become the chairman of the Kinmen Association no matter what.
He is truly loyal and devoted, but he can also be ruthless and merciless.
Ten years ago, when he was collecting loan sharks, he would still take advantage of pregnant women.
Even now, he remains ruthless, but at his current position, he has far fewer opportunities to take action.
However, this does not mean that Ding Qing has restrained himself.
On the contrary, his ambitions are actually growing.
Especially when he thought about how his brothers would be able to assist him after he became the chairman of the Kinmen Association.
If he could become the underground boss of the entire Korean country as Long Zu said, then he would have no other desires.
Moreover.
There aren't many good people out there.
Most people only think about their own interests, and only someone like Ding Qing would think about the interests of his brothers as well as his own.
This is also why the Dragon Ancestor wanted to recruit him.
As Long Zu sipped his tea, he said calmly, "...Also, Chairman Ding, are you aware that there are many spies in Kinmen...I don't know about other places, but there are definitely spies around you."
