On a sunny day, Lin Zhengtian, president of the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce, and I were sitting under a sun umbrella in a beachside villa in Thailand.

This is a secluded private beach, far away from the hustle and bustle, quiet and peaceful.

The soft white sand sparkles in the sun, and the blue water laps gently on the shore.

The palm trees swayed gently in the breeze, making a rustling sound.

The sea and sky are the same color, with vast expanse of blue waves.

Looking around, there are no tourists, no noise, only boundless beauty and inner peace.

Lin Zhengtian and I sat face to face, separated by a delicate rattan table.

There are fresh tropical fruits and two glasses of fragrant red wine on the table.

Lin Zhengtian changed his usual seriousness today and seemed quite relaxed.

He was wearing a casual white shirt and had a slightly chubby figure. He was leaning on a lounge chair and sipping red wine leisurely.

"Mr. Yang, does this place suit you?" He asked me with a smile, "This is my private resort in Thailand. When holidays come, I like to come here to escape the quietness and relax my body and mind. I didn't expect that today , I can have a drink and chat with you here.”

I smiled slightly, picked up the wine glass, and touched it lightly with him: "President Lin, you are very polite. It is an honor for Yang to chat with you in such a beautiful place. You are busy with official duties on weekdays, so you can spare the time I'm so grateful for the time I've had."

Lin Zhengtian chuckled, narrowed his eyes, and recalled, "Mr. Yang, do you know the development history of the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce?"

I shook my head and motioned for him to continue.

Lin Zhengtian then said: "The Nanyang Chamber of Commerce originated in the 1930s. At that time, a group of Chinese went south and came to Nanyang to make a living. With their hard work and wisdom, they quickly established a foothold in Singapore. Later, So, they stayed together and established a chamber of commerce to help each other. The days are getting better and stronger, and the strength of the chamber of commerce is getting stronger and stronger.”

At this point, Lin Zhengtian changed the topic: "In the 1980s, the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce began to march into Southeast Asian countries. With the contacts and resources accumulated over the years, we quickly established a firm foothold in Thailand, Vietnam, Malaysia and other places. . From trade, real estate, to entertainment and tourism, the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce has its tentacles in almost every corner of Southeast Asia.”

I can't help but admire it secretly.

The history of the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce is truly amazing.

In just a few decades, it has developed from a small Chinese organization into a multinational corporate empire.

The hardships involved are unimaginable to outsiders.

"Today, the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce is headquartered in Singapore." Lin Zhengtian said proudly, "In that majestic building, countless elites gather."

I said sincerely: "President Lin, it is really remarkable that you can lead the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce to where it is today. In comparison, I, a newcomer, pale into insignificance."

Lin Zhengtian smiled and waved his hand: "Mr. Yang is ridiculous. Your achievements in Thailand are equally impressive. In just one year, you have established a foothold in a foreign country and established your own business kingdom. This courage and vision have continued to grow. I feel inferior too.”

I smiled modestly and said evasively: "President Lin is so flattering. I am in Thailand thanks to the support of the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce. If it weren't for your generous donation and teaching me how to fish, how could I be where I am today? To the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce Yang’s kindness will never be forgotten.”

Lin Zhengtian said sincerely: "Mr. Yang, why are we so polite to each other? You and I share the same roots and are fighting for the interests of the Chinese in foreign countries. Naturally, the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce supports your development in Thailand." In the end, we, the Chinese, must work together in Southeast Asia in the future.”

There was a slight movement in my heart, and I vaguely felt that things were not that simple.

Lin Zhengtian called me here for more than just catching up on old times and having a drink.

What kind of medicine is he selling in his gourd?

Just as he was thinking about it, Lin Zhengtian suddenly changed the topic and sighed: "It's a pity that the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce is not so united anymore. Mr. Yang also knows that Cai Guanglin and I are mortal enemies. Over the years, we have been fighting openly and secretly, and we have given Nanyang a lot. The Chamber of Commerce caused trouble. Speaking of which, we have been friends for a long time. Who could have imagined that we would end up in such trouble when we worked hard together?

I understand in my heart that it seems that Lin Zhengtian will never let go of Cai Guanglin, a serious thorn in his side.

So I took advantage of the situation and said: "President Lin, I have also heard about Cai Guanglin. He is making trouble in Thailand, and I am the biggest victim. As you know, he not only interferes in my business, but also opposes me everywhere, even at the expense of Any hired killer would kill me. If you hadn't been wise enough to help me in time, I would have been in trouble."

Mentioning this matter, Lin Zhengtian said: "Cai Guanglin is determined to have his own way. Going wild in Thailand this time is simply too much! He will not live a good life for a few days, and sooner or later he will be destroyed in my hands!"

I chuckled and changed the subject: "President Lin's methods are really clever. It's just that Cai Guanglin caused me a lot of trouble after all. Some of my businesses in Thailand, especially the big project of Rayong Port, are now It’s very difficult. It would be great if we could ask the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce to help us.”

Hearing this, Lin Zhengtian frowned slightly and pondered for a moment: "I don't quite understand what Mr. Yang said. The Nanyang Chamber of Commerce has always been your strong backing in Thailand, so why does it hinder you? Why did it become a problem when it came to your mouth? Is the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce causing trouble? "

I smiled bitterly and said sincerely: "President Lin doesn't know something. After the port is built, you will definitely have a share in the distribution of benefits. As an outsider, I have the greatest risk and the most sacrifices, but in the end I can only get a share of the pie. This is not a big loss." Sent?"

Lin Zhengtian laughed loudly and patted me on the shoulder: "Mr. Yang, you are not interesting enough. After all, the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce is your guide and helps you make connections. Now that you have achieved a little success, you think of eating the cake alone. This is not right. Be kind. Besides, the interests behind Rayong Port are intertwined, so it’s only natural that the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce would get involved, right?

I sneered secretly, this old fox is really difficult to deal with.

The Nanyang Chamber of Commerce appears to be generous on the surface, but secretly it has very clear calculations.

How could they let go of a big project that they had finally hoped to get off the ground so easily?

Thinking of this, I also laughed: "President Lin is right, the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce owes me a favor. I, Yang, have recorded this favor. It's just that I worked hard in Thailand and dug up the gold mine with my own hands." Yinshan, I feel a little uncomfortable having to sit back and reap the rewards. In my opinion, how about we make a deal?"

"What deal?" Lin Zhengtian asked with interest.

I chuckled and said straight to the point: "I heard that the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce has several casinos in Vietnam. They are the dens where Chinese people gather, and the profits are considerable. Why don't you give me those casinos in exchange for my casino in Rayong Port? How about transferring some shares to the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce?”

Lin Zhengtian's expression changed upon hearing this and he frowned.

He picked up the glass and took a sip, as if he was seriously considering my proposal.

After a long time, he finally said: "There were so many people over there in Vietnam who were salivating, but we didn't let go. Now you want me to give in as soon as you open your mouth. Isn't this a bit overwhelming?"

I pretended to be embarrassed and sighed: "President Lin, we are grasshoppers on the same rope, sharing weal and woe. In the final analysis, my development in Southeast Asia has to rely on the support of the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce. If even this small It would be outrageous to let the news spread. Besides, those casinos in Vietnam are nothing compared to Port Rayong. In my opinion, it would be a win-win situation for us to take a step back and share what we have. What a move.”

Lin Zhengtian seemed to be tempted, rolled his eyes, and suddenly smiled: "Well, I'll give you another gift."

I was overjoyed and asked quickly: "What gift?"

Lin Zhengtian smiled mysteriously and lowered his voice and said: "That's it. In fact, I have long wanted to get rid of Cai Guanglin's big trouble, but I never found the opportunity. Now that he is making such a big splash in Singapore and causing such a big mess in Thailand, he has been touched. My Ni Lin. I decided to take action and let him die without a burial place for up to three months!"

I sneered secretly, having long expected that Lin Zhengtian had bad intentions.

This old fox finally showed his fox tail.

I said, "Why wouldn't I be happy if you didn't tell me about such a great thing earlier? That guy Cai Guanglin, I can't wait to eat his flesh and sleep on his skin. If I can get rid of him, my wish will be fulfilled."

Lin Zhengtian laughed loudly and patted me on the shoulder: "Mr. Yang is so refreshing, I like it! Let's do this, after I take care of Cai Guanglin, I will also leave that old guy He Hong to you. I know you guys have a problem, this How about treating it as a meeting gift from me?"

After a moment of surprise, I forced myself to calm down and said in a deep voice: "As long as He Hong falls into my hands, I guarantee that he will die a hard death. As for those casinos in Vietnam, I first thank President Lin for his generosity. Gifted.”

"Okay!" Lin Zhengtian raised his glass boldly and drank it all.

"Cheers!" I drank the wine in one gulp, feeling the aroma of the wine overflowing and intoxicating.

In this way, Lin Zhengtian and I reached a preliminary consensus.

He will give me the casinos in Vietnam and He Hong will also be handed over to me. In exchange, I will cede some shares in Rayong Port.

This result is beneficial to both parties.

Lin Zhengtian got rid of a serious problem and consolidated his position in the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce.

And I got a long-standing enemy and a few fat projects.

It can be said that everyone is happy and a win-win situation.
